You Are Loved 03:45
lyrics
buy track
You’re not as important as you think you are But you are loved, you are loved, you are loved So lay low in the quiet times And live your quiet life And it will all turn out right Even when your star fades from sight You will shine... Remind yourself you're more than those who notice Oh how I long for you to really know this: you are loved, you are loved you are loved, you are loved, you are loved Beauty rises with the morning sun It springs up for a while, but then it's gone so many try to hold on tight but it’s a losing fight Cause the sun will set, but don’t you fret Better is the light you possess Deep inside there is a grace about you—everyone sees it and it grows brighter still the more you believe you are loved, you are loved you are loved, you are loved, you are loved comparison is the thief of joy oh love, you’ll drive yourself mad so stop you’re striving to be number one when your body of work is said and done all that matters is you were true to what He placed in you if the dream seed is true so will be the beauty you produce you’re a branch on the Vine all you gotta do is abide and He will bring it to pass work that’s good, fruit that lasts mmm... be still and know your worth is not what you do be still to hear the Father sing over you you are loved, you are loved you are loved, you are loved you are loved, you are loved, you are loved

Trampoline 04:54

884, the sign on the door of this old house Crossing the threshold Moving in, figuring life out But where do I put all that I'm carrying here? Furniture and boxes and anxious thoughts and fears Come on, kids, show us how to live in the now Through the window a beautiful breeze Carries their laughter and beckons to me "Come have a seat out here by our trampoline" So, here in this place, I will unload for a minute Free to enjoy just a moment while I am in it Oh, and I pray for a sign that it's gonna be alright After these lockdowns and all of these partisan fights Oh, I can't solve it all now So, if my mind will allow, I'll Trampoline all my worries away I think I've had enough drama today If you need me, I'll be in the backyard on my trampoline Oh, gravity Oh, levity No phone, no wallet, no keys I know there's a lot, answers we still don't have And all is uncertain, but that doesn't mean it's all bad So maybe the sun on your skin and the wind in your face Can help you remember the joy that you might've misplaced Just be careful of these 40-year-old knees Don't forget there's a kid down inside Longs to be barefoot and jump and fly hight If you wanna break free Come and join me on my trampoline

Oh, Wrestler 05:01

What are you lookin' for A way out? Or a way back What are you doin', man You know that it's a trap Take a good look around, my friend You know, you've got to count your blessings Don't you go chasin' down the wind Fools gold—that's all you'll find There's nothin' new under the sun There's nothin' new under the sun You're in the crucible Don't fear it: walk through it I know the fire is real But your faith will see you through So, until then Don't you dare miss the new joy Waiting for the old pain to pass Grab a handful of the falling snow You know this winter won't last There's nothin' new under the sun There's nothin' new under the sun So why are you trying so hard When it's all been done You're pushing everyone away Oh, please, wrestler, don't Cause your time is slippin' away Do you remember why you're living Do you remember what you're living for There's nothin' new under the sun There's nothing new - you know it's true No matter how deep the pain you measure Or all of the golden things you treasure There's nothin' new under the sun There's nothin' new - except for you Oh, wrestler, don't give up now Oh, wrestler, don't give up now Come on, wrestle those angels down Oh, wrestler, you're so close now Don't lose your wonder Come on, don't lose your wonder, oh Don't lose your wonder Cause you're not under the sun Oh, you're not under the sun
