Miracle
Sara Groves Song Lyrics
Lay down your arms
Give up the fight
Quiet our hearts for a little while
Things have been spoken
Shouldn't be said
Rattles around in our hearts and our heads
Let's feel what we cannot feel
Know what we cannot know
Let’s heal where we couldn't heal
Oh, it's a miracle, it's a miracle
Things have been spoken
Shouldn't be said
Rattles around in our hearts and our heads
Let's feel what we cannot feel
Know what we cannot know
Let’s heal where we couldn't heal
Oh, it’s a miracle, love is a miracle
Let's feel what we cannot feel
Know what we cannot know
Let’s heal where we couldn't heal
Oh, it's a miracle
Let's say what we cannot say
Let’s see what we cannot not see
Let’s hear what we could not hear
Oh it’s a mystery, love is a mystery
Oh it's a miracle, it's a miracle
Let's be a miracle
Obsolete
Sara Groves Song Lyrics
It's hard to feel obsolete
It's hard to feel your skirts are showing
You pull and tug to hide the works
That keep the whole thing going
And you don't know where you stand
And you feel so small and thin
And if you are dismissed
Will another take you in?
Walking through a hall of doors
Looking through a million portals
Everyone is having fun
Everybody seems immortal
And you don't know where you stand
And did something pass you by?
And if you are dismissed
Will you get another try?
Are you and I an apparition
Flickering up on the screen
Sending out our best transmissions
Waiting in our velveteen
Tell me you can really see me
It's hard to feel disqualified
For living in a different time
As if the train will only stop
For the current paradigm
And I don't know where we are
Are we passing through these wires
Are we walking through the streets
Of invisible empires
And I know I shouldn't care
If I'm out or if I'm in
Cause if I am dismissed
Oh you always take me in
I’ll Wait
Sara Groves Song Lyrics
I can't run with the horses
If I can't keep up with men
I can fight all these forces
On my own and never win
I can take it from here
And have nowhere to go
I could take it for years
And have nothing to show
I can work like the devil
Build a tower to the sky
I can work for my possessions
Till they empty me of life
I can build my own house
And be building in vain
I can plant a seed
But I can't bring the rain
I'll wait for you
Now more than ever
I see it's true
Now more than ever
I’ll wait for you now
I can take my own vengeance
Make a war of all my pain
I can get my own insurance
Find a way to lay the blame
I can win the whole world
And lose my own soul
Holding on for dear life
Spinning out of control
I'll wait for you
Now more than ever
I see it's true
Now more than ever
I’ll wait for you now
I don't want to do this by myself
I know I need your help
And so I'm waiting for you
I can take it from here
And have nowhere to go
I can take it for years
And have nothing to show
I'll wait for you
Now more than ever
I see it's true
Now more than ever
I’ll wait for you
I don't want to do this by myself
I know I need your help
And so I'm waiting for you
Scientists in Japan
Sara Groves Song Lyrics
Songwriters: Andy Gullahorn, Sara Groves
Scientists in Japan are building a robot to take your job
Doctors in France are growing a heart that will save your mom
Eyes wide open, and your jaw on the floor
We see science fiction ain't fiction no more
There's a meeting of minds slowly designing our future days
Back at the office they're running some copies from the DNA
We rob from Peter to extend Paul's life
Cause dying ain’t no way to die
Who's gonna stay here and think about it
Who's gonna stay, who's gonna stay
Who's gonna stay here and think about it
Who's gonna stay
Everybody's left the room
There's no one here to talk it through
Now stay, stay, stay
Set machines in motion, just to set machines in motion, just to watch em roll
There's no destination in sight just the rhythm of a barcarole
Don't know where we're going, but we've got the means
Put a front load washer in our time machine
Who's gonna stay here and think about it
Who's gonna stay, who's gonna stay
Who's gonna stay here and think about it
Who's gonna stay
Everybody's left the room
There's no one here to talk it through
Now stay, stay, stay
Eyes wide open and your jaw on the floor
We see science fiction ain’t fiction no more
Who's gonna stay here and think about it
Who's gonna stay, who's gonna stay
Who's gonna stay here and think about it
Who's gonna stay
Everybody's left the room
There's no one here to talk it through
Now stay, stay, stay
Scientists in Japan,
Scientists in Japan...
Open My Hands
Sara Groves Song Lyrics
Songwriters: Alli Rogers, Sara Groves
I believe in a blessing I don't understand
I’ve seen rain fall on wicked and the just
Rain is no measure of his faithfulness
He withholds no good thing from us
No good thing from us, no good thing from us
I believe in a peace that flows deeper than pain
That broken find healing in love
Pain is no measure of his faithfulness
He withholds no good thing from us
No good thing from us, no good thing from us
I will open my hands, will open my heart
I will open my hands, will open my heart
I am nodding my head an emphatic yes
To all that You have for me
I believe in a fountain that will never dry
Though I've thirsted and didn't have enough
Thirst is no measure of his faithfulness
He withholds no good thing from us
No good thing from us, no good thing from us
I will open my hands, will open my heart
I will open my hands, will open my heart
I am nodding my head an emphatic yes
To all that You have for me
No good thing from us
No good thing from us
He withholds no good thing from us
I will open my hands, will open my heart
I will open my hands, will open my heart
I am nodding my head an emphatic yes
To all that You have for me
Precious Again
Sara Groves Song Lyrics
Sunrise, sunset with no eyes to see it
Garnets and rubies ground up in the sand
Words from my children with no ears to hear it
Where is the wonder
New tender mercies and infinite graces
Woven like threads in the cloth of my days
Deep wells of glory behind common faces
Where is the wonder, where is the wonder
Oh oh, I need a song that's never old
Oh oh, I need a story never told
Promise the just when love grows cold
You'll make it precious again
Friendship and good will a sweet invitation
Kindred in spirit and eager to share
Love in familiar and long conversations
There is the wonder, there is the wonder
Oh oh, sing me the song that's never old
Oh oh, tell me the story never told
Promise the just when love grows cold
You'll make it precious
Press mud with holy fingers
Light the ineffable
Fused in the ordinary
So much to wonder
Oh, what a wonder
Wonder, wonder
Oh oh, sing me the song that's never old
Oh oh, tell me the story never told
Promise the just when love grows cold
You'll make it precious
Oh make it precious
You make it precious again
Eyes on the Prize
Sara Groves Song Lyrics
Paul and Silas bound in jail
Got no money for to go their bail
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on
Paul and Silas thought they were lost
The dungeon shook and the chains fell off
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on
Freedom's name is mighty sweet
And one day soon we are gonna meet
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on
I got my hand on the gospel plow
Won't take nothing for my journey now
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on
The wait is slow, and we've so far to go
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on
The wait is slow, and we've so far to go
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on
Only chain a man can stand
Is that chain of hand on hand
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on
Ain't no man on earth control
The weight of glory on a human soul.
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on.
The wait is slow, and we've so far to go
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on
The wait is slow, and we've so far to go
Keep your eyes on the prize
When you see a man walk free,
It makes you dream of jubilee.
When you see a child walk free,
It makes you dream of jubilee.
When you see a family free,
It makes you dream of jubilee.
Keep your eyes on the prize, hold on.
Without Love
Sara Groves Song Lyrics
You can rise in the halls of power
You can speak to the masses
You can heal their disease
You can stand as the man of the hour
You can bring them to their feet
You can bring them to their knees
Without love I have not
Without love, without love
Without love I have not
Without love
You can fall on the blade of the martyr
You can give all your possessions to the poor
You can tell all you've seen of the future
Predicting every famine every war
Without love I have not
Without love, without love
Without love I have not
Without love
Love always protects, love always trusts,
Love always hopes the best for us
Love is slow to anger, love isn't proud
Love never fails, love will never fails us
Without love I have not
Without love, without love
Without love I have not
Without love
Without love I am nothing
Without love I am nothing
Without love I am nothing at all
Right Now
Sara Groves Song Lyrics
I'm tired of blaming everybody else
I'm sorry if I blamed you
I have everything I need to be myself
I have what I need to love you
There’s no way to brace myself
There’s no way to sort it all out
What you need from me I can do it right now
I can do it right now
What you need from me I can do it right now
What you want from me I can do it right now
What you want from me I can do it right now
I can do it right now
Mystery
Sara Groves Song Lyrics
I see my faith before me
It's always there before
And I can no more own it
Than I can own the road that I’m on
And I don't know where it leads me
I don't know where it leads me
Peace and resurrection
Suffering and dejection
I don't know
My body's tired from trying to bring you here
My brow is furrowed trying to see things clear
So I'll turn my back to the black
And fall
And wait for the mystery
To rise up and meet me
There are as many takers
As there are hearts to take it
There are so many fakers
I myself have faked it
I should know
Sometimes this has left me
Groping in the darkness
Hoping in the darkness
I will run into you again
My body's tired from trying to bring you here
My brow is furrowed trying to see things clear
So I'll turn my back to the black
And fall
And wait for the mystery
To rise up and meet me
My body's tired from trying to bring you here
My brow is furrowed trying to see things clear
So I'll turn my back to the black
And fall
Pray for the mystery
To rise up and meet me
Oh I’ll wait for your mystery
To rise up and lead me home
Finite
Sara Groves Song Lyrics
Songwriters: Jill Phillips, Sara Groves
I'm not every woman
It's not all in me
I’m proud and guarded
When it comes to my needs
Try to keep the whole thing rolling
Try to keep an on time train
This frenetic fascination's
Really driving me insane
Anybody feel that?
Anybody feel that?
Anybody feel that?
What God meant by woman
I’m hard pressed to find
I'm chasing paper dreams
And a guilt undefined
Fighting to stay younger
Trying to stay thin and in control
Searching for a magic formula
A thing to soothe our souls
Wonderin' where the peace went
Wonderin' where the peace went
Wonderin' where the peace went
I'm finite I come to an end
I'm finite I come to an end
Try to keep the whole thing rollin'
Try to keep an on time train
This frenetic fascination's
Really drivin' me insane
Anybody feel that?
Anybody feel that?
Anybody feel that?
I'm finite, I come to an end
I’m finite, I cannot pretend
I'm finite, I come to an end
I’m finite, I cannot pretend
