March 28, 2021 Are You Big Enough?
Episode 11: A trip around the world and a journey far from home
Are You Big Enough
Verse 1
Today my losses don’t feel like gains
It’s tough for me to let go of shame
When I think of where I’d rather be
My angry thoughts are filled with jealousy
Am I thankful for who I am
Or do I need more from life
Do I have the right to be sad
When so much of life is right
Jesus I need your help
Chorus
And I cry…
Are you big enough to answer my prayer
Are you wise enough to know what to do
I know that you are but I still thought I’d ask
I just want to hear from you
Verse 2
Can you take this life faults and all
Make it worth every time I fall
Can you take these dreams I thought had died
Breath on them, bring them back to life
Am I traveling the right path
or did I get lost along the way
These are the questions I’m afraid to ask
Because I don’t know what you will say
Jesus I need your help

Be With Me
Verse 1
I’m an angry man, who does the best he can not to be angry anymore
It’s humbling to see, the things that I still need to learn from my Lord.
Chorus
Jesus, be with me.
Be with me again
Hold my hand through sorrow
And show me how
To trust in you again
To trust in you now
No matter what tomorrow
Is threatening to allow
Be with me. Be with me.

I’m a prideful man, who doesn’t know when to just drop his pride
Is it really that easy, to be released. If I just abide?

Your grace is sufficient for me.

July 20, 2020 You Never Lose
Episode 9: The Girl of My Dreams was starting to look like a nightmare and I was struggling against God.
You Never Lose
Verse 1
How far do I run, until you lose
Your grip on me that never seems to let me go
How well do I need to hide from you
Until you stop looking for me to show
You’re relentless in your pursuit
Though I try my hardest you never lose
Though I try my hardest you never lose
Verse 2
Your ways are hidden until they’re revealed
And then it dawns upon me what you already know
That you’ll always win, but I’m always healed
Little by little along this road
I hate and love this truth about life
That your ways are higher than mine
That your ways are higher than mine
Verse 3
What do I have that’s not from you
And every gift you’ve given, hasn’t been earned
What complaint fits in this view
I live a privileged life that I don’t deserve
And I’m not worthy to even know you
But if I went away you’d be there too
If I went away you’d be there too

May 13, 2020 Be My God
Episode 8: The Girl of my dreams and the adventure of a lifetime.
Be My God
Verse 1
Help me on this treacherous road
So I don’t gain the whole world
And forfeit my soul
Hold my hand and be close by my side
Tell me don’t be afraid
It will be alright
‘Cause I feel more lost than in the past
So tell me time and time again, I’m on the right path
Chorus
Be my comfort, Be my shield
Be the one who will not yield
Be my joy, Be my peace
Be the one who will not cease
Be my God
Verse 2
Heal all my wounds and pains
That I seem to collect
From all my foolish ways
And forget all the sins of my past
And remember instead
All your goodness
Cause I fall short in all I do
And the only perfect thing I have is you
Verse 3
Change my world and change me
Break all of my pride
And set me free
Be what’s right when everything seems wrong
Take all of my hurt
And write it into your song
Cause when I wander near and far
Be the constant voice that guides my heart

April 16, 2020 Does He Still Love Me?
Episode 7: Why not complicate matters more with an Ex-girlfriend from Ohio? She wasn’t really an Ex though...
Does He Still Love Me?
Verse 1
I quit, and went, back to my job
To the familiar sea
But even at home, I still feel lost
Like something is still missing
Following him was my greatest adventure
But now it just seems too hard
Can I find the courage I’ve lost?
Before I wander too far
And does he still, love me?
Verse 2
Then Jesus came,
And he stood on the shore
And he began to call to me
Just like he did before
I couldn’t see his face from afar
And I wondered what he was thinking
So I pressed on through all of the hurt
‘Cause I was dying to see
Does he still, love me?
Verse 3
He fed us there and was so kind,
But at the meals end
He asked the question, three times
Do I still love him?
It grieved my heart to be asked
Because he already knew
My love for him would come and go
It wouldn’t always be true
So would he still, love me?
Verse 4
He told me to feed his sheep,
If I loved him,
And he repeated my calling,
To follow him to the end,
He didn’t want to discuss,
My past and future failings
But he wasn’t blind to who I was
He knew everything about me
And even still, he loved me
And even still, he loved me

September 30, 2019 Jerusalem Why Don’t You Cry?
Episode 6: Where is home and who are the people you live life with?
Oh Jerusalem
Verse 1
Oh Jerusalem, why don’t you cry?
And why don’t you, realize?
The strength that you have is a lie
And the weakness that you hide
Is more beautiful than your pride
I grew up within your walls
I walked in your ways, as one of the throng
But now I must leave,
And follow where the savior leads
Chorus
I must follow him
I must follow him
Even if it means leaving the camp
I must follow him
Verse 2
My heart’s desire for you
Is to wake from your slumber
And rise to follow too
But that will be your choice
So I will pray that you head his voice
Bridge
Will it take desolation before you will see
I know it will turn into salvation cause that’s what happened to me
So I will leave it to the hands of one who is much wiser than I
And from the ashes he’ll raise
A people who know their Christ
A people who know their Christ

September 30, 2019 Job
Episode 5 : Emotionally Healthy Spirituality and Friends from the Past
Job
Verse 1
Are you proud of me like Job?
And brag about me
To your friends and enemies
Or is my name hardly known?
Are you proud of me like Job?
And that’s why I see
Such great calamity?
Or is that just the way life goes?
Verse 2
Are you treating me like Job?
And waiting for me
To be done speaking?
Before you have your say
Are you treating me like Job?
And patience is key
To receive
The plans beyond today
Bridge 1
‘Cause just like Job I’m mad
That life hasn’t turned out
The way that I planned
And just like Job I have
Questions without answers
That I understand
Bridge 2
Did you really think that I forgot about you?
Did you believe the lie that I never knew
If I gave you, a perfect life
You still wouldn’t be satisfied
So take a lesson from my servant Job
My love for you is greater than you know
And when you see my wisdom
You’ll thank and praise me for what I have done
Cause first I had to humble your pride
Before you could enjoy this life
And stand in awe of only me
Just like you will for all eternity
Verse 3
To the God of Job
All I can say is thank you
For all that you do
And for humbling me again
To the God of Job
Thank you for the pain
That you turned into gain
And the good you caused in the end
