You Are Loved
03:45

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

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
