"The difference between the old ballplayer and the new ballplayer is the jersey. The old ballplayer cared about the name on the front. The new ballplayer cares about the name on the back." ~Steve Garvey

Time Alone


Crash Rickshaw
Time Alone

Taken by a girl who makes me laugh
Typically, I have to be the clown
Her smile lights up the room as she serves her friends
And when the evening ends
It seems that’s when the second hand kicks in

It’s all good
Time alone
Driving, longing for a never-ending ride home

Where, oh where have all the hours gone?
We could talk till dawn
About nothing… everything
Returning home all that’s in my head
Every word she said
Every future possibility

It’s all good
Time alone
Driving, longing for a never-ending ride home

Watched you as you sat there
With your eyes closed
As you prayed with me
Power of a godly woman
Knocks me to my knees
It knocks me to my knees

It’s all good
Time alone
Driving, longing for a never-ending ride home

Impossible

When they came to the other disciples, they saw a large crowd around them and the teachers of the law arguing with them. As soon as all the people saw Jesus, they were overwhelmed with wonder and ran to greet him.

"What are you arguing with them about?" he asked.

A man in the crowd answered, "Teacher, I brought you my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of speech. Whenever it seizes him, it throws him to the ground. He foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked your disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not."

"O unbelieving generation," Jesus replied, "how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy to me."

So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground and rolled around, foaming at the mouth.

Jesus asked the boy's father, "How long has he been like this?"

"From childhood," he answered. "It has often thrown him into fire or water to kill him. But if you can do anything, take pity on us and help us."

"'If you can'?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for him who believes."

Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!"

When Jesus saw that a crowd was running to the scene, he rebuked the evil[a] spirit. "You deaf and mute spirit," he said, "I command you, come out of him and never enter him again."

The spirit shrieked, convulsed him violently and came out. The boy looked so much like a corpse that many said, "He's dead." But Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him to his feet, and he stood up.

After Jesus had gone indoors, his disciples asked him privately, "Why couldn't we drive it out?"

He replied, "This kind can come out only by prayer."

-Mark 9.14-29

Impossible


Crying and hiding this feeling
Running and fighting for freedom

This is the last time, I’ll cry lullabies
All night can’t sleep I hear the floors creek
I feel shadows in my room
My friends find another bruise
I’m a end up on the news
I just don’t know what to do
God I’m calling you
Send an angel send two
I want a move but I’m trapped in the outer room
I know you hear me clearly I’m weary
Come and fill me with Your power heal me

It seems impossible for me to let this go
Feel like an animal, I’m ready to lose control
Take everything You need, take every part of me
Give me some room to breathe before I lose control

I got to get away
Got a break away
Save Me
I got to find away
Got to break the chains
Take me
Before I lose control
Before I lose control
It seems impossible
It’s not impossible

I’m tired so tired of walking through this fire
If you want to find me I’ll be here in my room
I’m thinking you're drinking,
Need to get out before you start swinging
Wish I could show you all the pain inside me

It seems impossible for me to let this go
Feel like an animal, I’m ready to lose control
Take everything You need, take every part of me
Give me some room to breathe before I lose control

I got to get away
Got a break away
Save Me
I got to find away
Got to break the chains
Take me
Before I lose control
Before I lose control
It seems impossible
It’s not impossible

It seems impossible
Crying and hiding this feeling
Running and hiding from freedom
For me to lose control
Crying and hiding this feeling
Running and hiding from freedom
It seems impossible

It seems impossible for me to let this go
Feel like an animal

It seems impossible for me to let this go
Feel like an animal, I’m ready to lose control
Take everything You need, take every part of me
Give me some room to breathe before I lose control

It seems impossible
It’s not impossible

Love


Kids in the Way
Love

Love, is it all that you want.
Is it everything you hope for.
Love, is it more than the word that
you use when you look at her.
Love, it will push you around.
It will make you a poor man.
Change your picture of heaven, heaven.

Love, it will make you a man.
It will make you a child again.
Love, does it keep you awake.
Does it change everything you see.
Love, is it worth what you give.
Is it everything you need.
Love

Love, is it all that you want.
Is it everything you've worked for.
Love, is it wearing you down...love.

Yours

Steven Curtis Chapman
Yours



I’ve walked the valley of death’s shadow
So deep and dark that I could barely breathe
I’ve had to let go of more than I could bear
And questioned everything that I believe
But still even here
in this great darkness
A comfort and hope come breaking through
As I can say in life or death
God we belong to you.

Washed by Blood


Brian HEAD Welch
Washed by Blood

I know you've tried
To satisfy
Your appetite
For too long
You wonder why
You are alive
You've lived a lie
For too long
So now you're done
Life isn't fun
Anymore
What's this life for?

These are not
Only words to a song
Come to me
You're forgiven now
You're washed by blood
From deep inside
You're not a prisoner of your old life
Washed by blood
A brand new start
It's time that I rebuild your heart

I paid your price
I sacrificed
My human life
All for you
Come to the light
You will shine bright
You'll never die
That's the truth
Cuz I have sworn
You'll be reborn
If you choose
What's there to lose?

These are not
Only words to a song
Come to me
You're forgiven now
You're washed by blood
From deep inside
You're not a prisoner of your old life
Washed by blood
A brand new start
It's time that I rebuild your heart

Wash away
All the pain
With the blood
No more shame
Understand
Who you are
And what your life is
For

Wash away
All the pain
With the blood
No more shame
Understand
Who you are
And what your life is for

I am taking over from now on
You can't escape don't even try to run
I can't just sit and watch you die no more
You will begin to learn what life is for
I've chosen this time
To change your mind
So you will find your way back home
Where you belong
Your heart of stone
Will start to feel love from now on
True
Live for me and you will see your life will be so worry free
Say goodbye to your old life give me a try
Be alive
There shall be no more death nor
Sorrow nor crying
There shall be no more pain
For the former things have passed away
You're washed by blood
From deep inside
You're not a prisoner of your old life

Washed by blood
A brand new start
It's time that I rebuild your heart

Come fly away with me
Come fly away with me
You know I love you
Come fly away

Scars that Save


Kids in the Way
Scars that Save

Over and over Your blood covers me.
How many times will it take me to see?
I am so dangerous.
I am so irresponsible.

Here I am, broken again, but then You show me,
You're wearing the scars that save.
How can you see me, as something so lovely?
Cause it's killing me that I am to blame.

Over and over it falls back to me.
My knees hit the floor and it's easy to see.
I am so arrogant.
I feel so unforgivable.

Here I am, broken again, but then You show me,
You're wearing the scars that save.
How can You see me, as something so lovely?
Cause it's killing me that I am to blame.

This is my same old song.
The one where I do it all wrong.
And I will try with all that I am to get it right in the end.

This is my same old song.
The one where I do it all wrong.
And I will try fight with all that I am to get it right.

Here I am, broken again, but then You show me,
You're wearing the scars that save.
How can You see me, as something so lovely?
Cause it's killing me,
It's killing me.

Then You show me,
You're wearing the scars that save.

Eternal


Sanctus Real
Eternal

I know this life I lead will pass away
Along with every other earthly thing
So I will set my heart on a higher plain
Where my treasure lies with You

And in this marriage of our hearts
There is no "death do us part"
For You are eternal
And I am eternally Yours

And I could never lose Your love to sickness
I could never lose You to divorce
There's no concept of abandonment
For I am safe within Your arms

And in this marriage of our hearts
There is no "death do us part"
For You are eternal
And I am eternally Yours
Oh I am eternally Yours
I am eternally Yours

No abandonment
Safe within Your arms

I never had enough until I found You
I never knew love until I met You
I never had enough until I found You
And now I have everything

And in this marriage of our hearts
There is no death do us part
For You are eternal
And I am eternally Yours
And I am eternally Yours
Oh I am eternally Yours

I could never lose You
No, I will never lose You
I could never lose You

And this life will pass away
But You will never change
Oh, this life will pass away
Oh, but You will never change
