Form me from the humble earth
Shape me from the simple dirt
Of paradise
If I'm lost then track me down
Redemptions breathe can still be found
Miss the sound of Gods footsteps
Longing for His sim
Simple tread in paradise
Verse 2:
Dont want to age or ever die
Lord, if I'm the apple of your eye wheres paradise
Don’t want to lose the luster on my skin
Let me be 17 again in paradise
Kiss some sweetness back again
Wipe away the tears of sin
Chorus:
There once was beauty
Our eyes had not learned how to cry
There once was beauty
Our bodies didn’t know how to die
There once was beauty
Flower trees ethereal glow
There once was beauty
Eve by my side, we must go home
Verse 3:
Some say its a legend or a dream
You can't change my mind I've seen it
Paradise
Where the garden I can't see
What makes the fiery sword give way
Paradise
Tell me why it’s gates cannot be found
But my heart’s still anchored to its sound
Paradise
Chorus:
There once was beauty
Our eyes had not learned how to cry
There once was beauty
Our bodies didn’t know how to die
There once was beauty
Flower trees ethereal glow
There once was beauty
Eve by my side, we must go home
Wanna feel the river on my feet
I'm dying till I feel the breeze in paradise
I don't believe its fully gone
Come with me we'll find it
Paradise
Bridge:
I wanna be innocent, I wanna be innocent, I wanna be innocent

Papa, how did you choose her…the bride for your Son?
Why was she so lucky? Why was she your chosen one?
Jesus you bought her. You bled and you died
In love you redeemed her with the blood that flowed from your side
While Adam was sleeping in his paradise slumber
His loneliness answered, waking up in awestruck wonder
The rib was the ransom, no one needed to die
You reached into him formed her from his side
So draw her from my side, so she fits me just right
Draw her from my side,
Would you reach into the deepest part of me and form the love of my life
Well, Father you're changeless, and your patterns the same
With Adam in the Garden, and Jesus on the cross again
I feel the deep sleep coming on
I'm closing my eyes
So reach into my ribcage, put your hand on my heart
So do what you do, what you do, what you do, what you've done from the start
Draw her from my side, so she fits me just right
Would you draw her from my side?
Would you reach into the deepest part of me and form the love of my life?
Like Eve for Adam, the church for Jesus, create her for me tonight

God, would you write my love story?
I'm so sick of writing my own
God would you write my love story?
I'm so tired of being alone
Send me a girl with a martyr's heart
Send me the one that you chose from the start
Send me a girl with a martyr's heart
God would you write my love story?
Show me how to sacrifice
God would you write my love story?
Send her like a summers breeze to my side
Send me a girl with a missionary's heart
Send me the one that you chose from the start
Send me a girl with a martyr's heart
God, would you write my love story?
I'm so sick of writing my own
God would you write my love story?
I'm so tired of doing it alone
Send me a girl with a lover's heart
Send me the one that you chose from the start
Send me a girl with a martyr's heart
Waiting for the day
Waiting for the day
Waiting for, waiting for, waiting for the day
Send me a girl with a martyr's heart
Send me the one that you chose from the start
Send me a girl with a martyr's heart

I've been waiting at the garden gate
Oh my love for you to be made
I've been sketching faces in the sand
by the Tigris river with my hand
I've been forming figurines of clay
Trying to imagine what God will make
Still I'm searching for your eyes, your shape
and I haven't discovered you
I heard God say, "It's not good for me to be alone"
But he said it "So many days ago"
My Father, do you remember?
The words that you said?
Sleeping underneath the tree of life I lay
Flower underneath my head
And no woman in my bed
And no woman in my bed
Mountain, Rocks, Trees and Stones can't compare
To your shining eyes and ever flowing hair
Paradise ain't paradise if you're not there
I want you near me, this wonder to share
I heard God say, "It's not good for me to be alone"
But he said it "So many days ago"
My Father, do you remember?
The words that you said?
Sleeping underneath the tree of life I lay
Flower underneath my head
And no woman in my bed
And no woman in my bed
You said "It's not good for man to be alone
It's not good for me"
Flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone
Why don't you create her for me?
My God what is the delay?

First Grade in love with a pretty face
Boys chase the girls, the girls run away
I caught someone I remember the note she wrote me
High school passed with no regrets
All dates that I now forget
I'm so glad that it gets better
Waiting for...
Chorus:You, you, you, you
You are for me (repeats)
Sitting, waiting at the seventh floor
Playing guitar by a dorm room door
Cuz I thought she would bring me love
Infatuation is a silly mess
You wake and then you shake and then you second guess
But now I know it's true, because she wasn't
Chorus:You, you, you, you
You are for me (repeats)
Singing laughing on the cobblestones
London tourism far from home
Red wine almost gave someone her first kiss
Pretty blond but I ran away, Got so scared on the aeroplane
On the way to a concert across the ocean
I know she wasn't
Chorus:You, you, you, you
You are for me (repeats)
All the ones that weren't quite right
Disappear in this candlelight
I thought I loved before but I know it wasn't True
Because she wasn't you
Chorus:You, you, you, you
You are for me (repeats)
Singing in the sunset....
Chorus:You, you, you, you
You are for me (repeats)

I've seen sunsets, canyons, hidden places
All this misty garden,
I've wandered where 4 rivers flow
Seen birds fly tapestries in heavens
Seen every creature there's been
In water, earth & sky
Seen angels, Seen God face to face to face
Walked with Him through warm rain
Just us two alone
Chorus:
But I've never seen anything like you
Now that I've seen you, I can't look away
No, I've never seen anything like you
Now that I've seen you, I can't turn away
Girl verse: (Eve)
Hello Familiar stranger
Can't explain, how I got here
Where am I? Oh Where are we now?
Beckon me, I'll follow after
Take me all around
This Kingdom that you know
Wanna see what you've been doing.
While you've been here waiting
For a companion to be made
How often does the sun go hiding?
What does it sound like when God is walking?
Where do these rushing rivers go?
Chorus:
Cuz I've never seen anything like you
Now that I've seen you, I can't look away
No, I've never seen anything like you
Now that I've seen you, I can't turn away
Guy verse (Adam):
You're like me, like me and so different
Curvy like an hourglass
(or "Your curves an Arc de Triumph")
Your (body) soft where I'm strong
With you, we'll conquer Kingdoms
With you we'll fill the world with love,
With who we are as two
horus:
Still I'll never see anything like you
Now that I've seen you, I won't look away
No, I'll never see anything like you
Now that I've seen you, I won't turn away

A Lullaby for Hannah

Hannah my star
Hannah my star
Sparkling from afar
Hannah my star
Hannah my star
Swirling there you are
Hannah my dream
Hannah my dream
I wake and you’re still real
Hannah my dream
Hannah my dream
We’re in the Milky Way it seems
I don’t know what to do
I can’t stop staring at you
I’m stuck in a kind of wonder and awe
I think my feet, they both just lifted up off the ground
Hannah my wave
Hannah my shore
I’m falling for you for sure
Wash over, over me
Over and over me
I know, I know
Wash over, over me
Wash over, over me
The ripples and the tremors
Of our hearts combined spinning blindly
We are still young
We are still bright
Shining in the sky
With parts to play in God’s story
It doesn’t matter why
All my life suddenly flashing before my eyes
My eyes, my eyes

After all the years
After all the prayers
I can't believe that you're finally here
After all the breaks
After all my mistakes
Somehow it's not too late..
Because you exist
I can't believe it
You exist, I gave you your first kiss
On the day
You Said Yes, Yes
You Said Yes I'll marry you
Soon you're gonna say I do
You said Yes, on the cliff by the ocean
With no hesitation
After all the years
After all the prayers
I can't believe that you're finally here
After all the breaks
After all my mistakes
Past the heartaches
I can't believe it wasn't too late
I remember when it was pouring rain and I held you by the beach
I was breathless, I could barely contain myself
And I think love is a skill no one can teach
But I woke up from a dream and God gave you to me
I can't believe you exist
By the water you had your first kiss
and I had my first one that really touched my soul
It was so different
You said Yes, You said yes I'll marry you
You said, Yes on the cliff by the ocean
With no hesitation
On one knee, crying tears of joy
Counting down the days when we'll never have to be apart
You exist
And I don't have the words to tell you how I feel
Hannah, holding you is like having keys to the garden again
Hannah, holding you is resurrecting my heart, my world again
You said Yes, I'll never be alone again
Soon we will be King & Queen
They'll put a crown on my head
They'll put a crown on your head
and we'll fly away
And I don't want to be satisfied with normal
Wanna live our days in childlike wonder
Dancing round the kitchen
Walking at midnight underneath the stars
Two bodies one heart, two bodies one heart
I can't believe you exist
Can't wait to give you our first married kiss
I cannot know what the years will hold
But I know I love you with all my heart and soul
I can't wait to be 80 years with you
Grandchildren around us
and I'll tell how God made you and how true love found us
You said Yes, You said Yes
on the cliffside by the ocean with no hesitation
You said yes, I'll marry you
You said yes and I know this is only the beginning
In paradise we're swimming by the 4 rivers
The water we're tasting
All senses brightening
I want to kiss you because I haven't since that day when you said yes
You blew me away
Ooooo run away with me
Ooooo let's ride into a painting, into a poem
Let's live a love story better than a movie
With Father God, Jesus, Holy Spirit in the middle
Pray we're never never never gonna stop dancing

Vs 1:
Once I was a captain, drowning in the sea,
You were my mermaid, came and saved me
Dragged my discarded body from the wreckage to the shore
Stayed with me till morning, kept me warm….
Vs. 2:
I woke up in wonder with you next to me,
a mystical creature from a realm I've never been
We fell in love by the ocean on the sand
Weeks became months, my hand in your hand
Chorus
We’ll kiss each other and be free
You’ll be transformed and be like me
In an instant your mermaid form would change
And we’d be there forever, naked and unashamed
Vs3.
Jesus was naked when he died upon the tree
When He won His love for all eternity
Adam was too in the garden with Eve
So there must be something to vulnerability
But we've been all hiding since that fateful day
I was hiding till you pulled my body from the bay
Chorus:
We'll know each other and be free
In One Flesh and in One Body
No more wandering by the waves
I was a captain, you were the mermaid, you saved me
We were married by the water with all your mermaid friends
We told them bout the love we found the love that never ends
Years later with our children round a roaring fire
Our voices singing mysteries like a heavenly choir
Chorus:
We'll reign together and be free, I your king and you my queen
No more wandering by the sea
You were a mermaid, I was a captain you love me
Bridge
Loneliness is the sea, Loneliness is the sea, you saved me, you saved me (repeat)
I was a dead man, I was a dead man, you raised me, you raised me
