Extraordinary

Help me find the answers
Let me ask the questions
Show me truth
Take me through
Teach me how to stand.
I’m not the shell they think they see
I’m not the one I hoped to be
The glass reflects my image
I’m no angel, can’t they see?
All I am is just me.
My life is reckless
My heart - it proves restless
I can’t settle in one place no more
Gotta keep movin’ on.
Can anyone hear me
In all this silence -
Through this mess that’s in my head?
Can anyone tell me
I’m not what they say?
Someone, please step up.
I hear the voices in the chorus
Chanting truth
Hoping it breaks through.
But I close my ears to the noise
And fall to my knees
Cause I just don’t know.
Brother, I’ll be the one
To step up for you.
I’m there in the chorus of voices.
I hear you - I’ll catch you.
I’ll show you truth
And take you through
And let Him teach you
How to stand.

I Don't Know Which Way Is Up

Hear me calling
Watch me falling
Lift Your gaze
Upon my face.
I can’t keep going
Or lift my head.
It’s just too hard
To endure everything.
Let me go
Or tell me truly
That You love me.
Mean what You say.
Tears are flowing
Life is going on.
I just don’t know
Which way is up.
