This Journey 04:26
lyrics
buy track
This Journey (2003) Sometimes it doesn’t matter where you’re going And life does not depend on where you’ve been The only thing that’s really worth the knowing Is what is happening right here and now In this journey… All along this path of life is where the real treasures are This journey… Take the time to know the journey How many seconds does it take to smell a flower? And in a moment that little humming bird is gone Each day the sun sets and it rises again And sometimes the moon is hanging in a bright blue sky bridge We miss so much along the way If we would only stop and savor the day Breathe deep the beauty of the world that God has made And experience the joy of the journey

No Reason 04:43
lyrics

No Reason (1997) Lately, I've been thinkin' that there's nothin' in this world for me no more 'Cause lately, I've been seein' the hustle and the bustle everywhere Everyday they're rushing here and there But in the end they really go nowhere Lately, I've been sayin' that nothin' really matters anyway Cause lately, I've been feelin' that life is just a game we play today All the pieces move from place to place But in the end we never win the race (chorus) All that we are is a flickering ember Struggling just to stay alive... for no reason, Just til the light... dies, just til the light dies Lately, I've been thinkin' there's got to be more than the daily grind 'Cause lately, I've been seein' some people with a sparkle in their eyes Though they live the same life that I do I can't say I share their care free view Lately, I've been sayin', "Maybe I've been wrong a time or two..." 'Cause lately, I've been feelin' there is a ray of hope within my view All the pieces move from place to place And in the end we may just win the race CHORUS... (with a different ending) ...for no reason... All that we are is a flickering ember Struggling just to stay alive, for no reason... but to serve God... serve with our lives... our lives

Longing 05:00

Longing (2004) One day this will all be over, this stuff that we call history And all that seems important just won’t matter anymore How I long to get there, and call this life my yesterday Leave behind the pain and doubt—I long for so much more I’m longing for the day chorus When all I need to know is that you love me And all my pain is dead and gone And all I ever thought was gain, is quickly put to shame By the life I’m longing for I like to see the good around me, everywhere I am today The bad can feel much smaller, when I focus on the good But sometimes it’s too much for me, the evil and the selfish way We live today together… I long for so much more I’m longing for the day bridge: Never again will pain have it’s way Death will have no sway Sorrow has gone away 'Cause this is the day

All I Know 03:33

All I Know (1995) Dark Clouds behind me Scattered clouds surround me But blue skies lie ahead Round and round my world spins around me All the things that I have found to be Purely distractions As I head on towards my vision I have struggled with the decision To avoid life's petty cares All around my world presses in When will this struggle ever end? I don't know, no All I know is that I Want to follow You I will keep my eyes on my goal As I feel my wheels hit the pavement I glance again in amazement At the view I see behind Pressing on ahead toward the blue skies I leave the darker clouds behind Yeah, far behind, whoa All I know is that I Want to follow You I will keep my eyes on my goal All I know is that I Want to follow You I will keep my eyes on my goal

No Guarantees 04:30
lyrics

No Guarantees (2012) There are no guarantees in this world We can not manipulate it Though we often try to fake it We are not the ones who made it But maybe we made it …This way Don't try to anticipate it We never see clearly up ahead Today has enough trouble of its own No need to add on tomorrow's or yesterday's We have no guarantee of our next breath Let alone a day, let alone a day end: (So live today... we have today... and we have you) We have no guarantee that we’ll not know pain It’s almost certainty that there’ll be some today It seems my dreams nev’r come true The more I hope for it, seems The less hope there is I see everything so clearly But clearly, I just can’t see Why things go so poorly What have you got against me? I may fail at everything, and I may never be loved My life may crumble around me ... there are no guarantees

Ordinary Man (2001) Noah was an extraordinary man He did some things I might not do Jumped in a boat on dry land Sayin, “Lord, I do believe in You” How could I ever match up To such great men of faith? I am just an ordinary man But Lord, I do believe in You! Then there was Abraham, who gave his One and only son Well I am a Daddy too And let me tell you that’s a real tough one Well - we all know the story of David And that real tall guy too He took an impossible situation And said, “I do believe in You!” How could I ever match up To such great men of faith? I am just an ordinary man But Lord I do believe in You! Lord I do believe in You - yeah You are my strength, oh Lord I come to You, I come My eyes and ears may fool me into Thinkin’ that You could never come through But my heart believes in You --- yeah You are my strength, oh Lord I come to You, I come My eyes and ears may fool me into Thinkin’ that You could never come through But my heart believes in You --- yeah How could I ever match up To such great men of faith? I am just an ordinary man But Lord, I do believe in You! Lord I do believe in You Lord, I do believe... in You!

Control 04:15

Control (2000) It all seems so clear, nothing can compare To the love that never ends It will not disappear No, no, no, no, no, no It was so sincere, the promise that I made But now my biggest fear Is that the things I say Don’t match the things I show chorus Oh, they don’t match the things I show No, no, no, no I go, and do the things I know that don’t do me any good When will I get control? What is the draw here? Why can’t I get away? My heart just can’t get clear Of all the dead man’s ways That used to live in here (chorus 2x) bridge Time is tickin’ away - I’m gettin’ older every day Lord, I want to get control! Well maybe it’s not about me But your Spirit livin’ inside of me He’s the one who can control - all the things I don’t Spirit live in me - let everybody see A life that’s not in my control... I give you the control! Oh, this is all I need to know Know, know, know, know It will never, never do me any good to try to take control… I give you the control!

One Day 03:44

One Day (2006) What if one day the world would pay attention to me What if one day I could feel like I am all I could be No fear of being out or being in I could just be me and that’d be it One day... What if one day all my life just fell into place What if one day I didn’t have to fall on my face And everything I tried to do I did No more painful failures to admit One day... I could sit here waiting for the world that I can dream up And wish for things that seem like they could help me keep my chin up But I know, it’s just a fantasy I know... I know... (Instrumental Chorus) (Repeat Pre-Chorus) One day may never come to be reality One day is just a far off fantasy One day is an endless string of maybes But one day... one day... (repeat chorus) But one day... this day... One day... this day... Is one day.

Beautifully Stained 04:30

Beautifully Stained (2014) It was the moment you heard the news The one you’d hoped for was gone You would never be the same No matter what would come It was the moment you saw her face Something inside you bloomed This deep assurance within your soul That she was made for you These are the moments ... chorus Live every moment Embrace both the joy and the pain Breathe deep and let it all in Life fully lived is beautifully stained It was the moment she took her first breath And when he played his guitar Happy hearts sang out laughing at play Togetherness in the air It was the moment the pain gripped her face Another tough day with you Angry tongues loosed their wearied fury Nothing now you could do These are the moments ...

A Brand New Smile (1996) Chasing after you, though my heart is broken in two Crying out for something to see me through I have found relief at the cross, at Jesus feet There I’ve found my greatest inner peace. But something’s different... there’s nothing here anymore I have so many questions, but some say they’re digressions I can’t understand this fear of expression Lord I’m trying to learn, but where can I turn? I want that fire again to burn CHORUS Oh I don’t know why, but Lord, I know it’s You Oh, my heart cries, over and over and over and over again Lord, I believe, but help my unbelief (2X) When I was a child, it was so simple just to smile And say that I believed just for a while But as I’ve lived this life (I’ve) seen the lies with my own eyes I can not understand, though I try Oh, it all seems right, I need the faith like a child With wide-open eyes, and a brand new smile

about

The title song, Even More, captures the heart of the songs on the album. From John 17, where Jesus says, "This is eternal life: to know you, the one true God, and Jesus Christ whom you sent." To know him even more, to trust him even more. These songs deal with doubt, hurt, pain, and deep trust in a loving Father through all of that.
