Verse 1:
When times get hard
And waters get deep
Mistakes are made
Prices are paid
It's time to hit my knees
Chorus Intro:
But what will he say
About my sinful ways
Will he ignore my call
Not answer at all
Instead he said
Chorus 1X:
Don't fear, don't worry
But bask in my glory
I'm going to see you through
Just trust in my word
And trek on forward
I've got big plans for you
Verse 2:
I am afraid
From the choices I make
My chance I will take
My life's no mistake
Through him I am brave
Chorus 1X
Ending:
I trust in the lord
With all my heart
I know that he
Is never far
He trusts in me
To play my part
That he has written
In the stars

Verse 1:
Sometimes I'm a wreck
A straight total mess
But I'll always hit my knees
To help me feel at ease
I may fall on my back
But I'll get back on track
To God be the glory
Chorus 1x:
To God be the glory
To God be the glory
He knows my whole story
So I'll never have to worry
To God be the glory
Verse 2:
I have good days and bad days
But that don't mean that I'm done
Because I know it gets better
He'll walk with me through bad weather
I count my many blessings
Even when it's distressing
To God be the Glory
Chorus 1x
Verse 3:
He sent me this hear song
So I'll sing along
To spread the truth
Of what he'll do for you
To God be the glory
Chorus 1X

Sometimes I drink way too much
I also fall out of touch
I get angry, I get mad
I cast stones at all in my path
But, I don't mean to
It's just what I do
Lord, I know you love me for who I am
But please forgive me for who I am
I sometimes gossip and call out names
Point the finger to show the blame
All the while I know I am wrong
3 more fingers are pointing strong
Call me out
For all of my doubt
Lord, I know you love me for who I am
But, please forgive me for who I am
We're all sinners as the bible says
So in shame I bow my head
Begging for forgiveness
Knowing I don't deserve this
Lord, I know you love me for who I am
But, please forgive me for who I am

Verse 1:
Hello, my long lost friend
It's good to see you again
It's good to see your face
It's been a while since I've been to this place

Chorus:
You went so far away
Please tell me where you've been
I was afraid there would come a day
I wouldn't see you again
Hello!

Verse 2:
Hello, it's good to see your smile
That's been missing for a while
Your eyes seem brighter now
I'm glad you made it back somehow


Chorus:
You went so far away
Please tell me where you've been
I was afraid there would come a day
I wouldn't see you again
Hello!

Verse 3:
With the mirror no longer fogged
My friend you've not been missing at all
You've been here all this time
But myself I had to find

Staring out the window
Sky so blue
Wind blowing through the trees
all I think about is you

But you're gone
Long gone
You're gone
Long Gone

Thinking about the past
All the good times
Lots of fun memories
I wish I could rewind

But time's gone
Long gone
Time's gone
Long gone

Don't take life for granted
The people or the time
Cause when you least expect it
It's nowhere to find

When it's gone
It's long gone
When it's gone
It's long gone

Verse 1:
He works long hours, he don't get home til late
He never makes it to their dinner dates
The kids don't expect him at their games anymore
They barely get excited when he walks thru the door
His wife begs and pleads for some family time
But he screams about bills and how he needs to unwind
She sits alone in the hallway at night
Last thing she wanted was another fight

Chorus:
I don't want these fancy things
I just want my family
I don't want the mansion home, the brand new car, or the diamond rings
I don't want these material things
I just want to make memories

Verse 2:
One day at work after another fight
He sat in his office and thought maybe she's right
He left work early only to find
A letter on the table that she left behind
He fell to his knees, tears streamed down
He see's how his life has been turned around
So he sits in the hall way all alone
and ponders how he let everything go wrong

Repeat Chorus

Outro:
It's not about what you have
But the ones you love and make you laugh
Make the memories while you can
Those are priceless and can't be spent

verse 1:
Defeated lost and depressed
Frustrated and a little stressed
Life can be so complicated
and sometimes a little overrated

Chorus:
I found a feather in my path today
I know I'm going the right way
It's good to know an angel's by my side
When you're wondering which way to go
Or will you reach a new plateau
An angels there to always be your guide
oooohhhhh

Verse 2:
You give your all just to get knocked down
You struggle hard to get off the ground
It's a cruel world full of judgement
Trust your instincts, you'll be triumphant

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3:
Life comes together, things fall into place
But all the hard times will never be erased
A reminder of all the struggle
Oh, the victory from all the hustle

Repeat Chorus

Chorus x1:
It's been a long time since I've been to this place
I don't think you'll remember my face
I left here in turmoil so long ago
So I kicked up the dirt and covered that road

Verse 1:
Some good times and bad times left me confused
On if I should settle or should I refuse
I spent many nights awake and cryin
From all of the goodbyes and tired of tryin
I stopped in today just to say hello
But there's still a feeling I just can't let go

Chorus x1

Verse 2:
Throughout my childhood I made some memories
Some people were mean while others were friendly
There were some folks who helped me a lot
Then there were others I wish I forgot
Now it's time to say goodbye
And I'll leave that dirt on your side

Chorus 1x
It's been a long time since I've been to this place
I don't think you'll remember my face
I left in turmoil so long ago
So imma kick up the dirt and cover that road
