Maybe There’s A Loving God
SARA GrOVES SONG LYRICS
Songwriters: Nathan Orville Sabin, Sara Groves
I'm trying to work things out
I'm trying to comprehend
Am I the chance result
Of some great accident
I hear a rhythm call me
The echo of a grand design
I spend each night in the backyard
Staring up at the stars in the sky
I have another meeting today
With my new counselor
My mom will cry and say
I don't know what to do with her
She's so unresponsive
I just cannot break through
She spends all night in the backyard
Staring up at the stars and the moon
They have a chart and a graph
Of my despondency
They want to chart a path
For self-recovery
And want to know what I'm thinking
What motivates my mood
To spend all night in the backyard
Staring up at the stars and the moon
Maybe this was made for me
For lying on my back in the middle of a field
Maybe that's a selfish thought
Or maybe there's a loving God
Maybe I was made this way
To think and to reason and to question and to pray
And I have never prayed a lot
But maybe there's a loving God
Maybe this was made for me
For lying on my back in the middle of a field
Maybe that's a selfish thought
Or maybe there's a loving God
Maybe I was made this way
To think and to reason and to question and to pray
And I have never prayed a lot
But maybe there's a loving God
And that may be a foolish thought
Or maybe there is a God
And I have never prayed a lot
But maybe there's a loving God
This Peace
SARA GrOVES SONG LYRICS
So many words to say, but I'm opting for silence
So many days to live
I thinking I'm sitting this one out
Cause something I've been chasing finally stop to let me catch it
Something I've been longing for and dreaming about
It's a whisper in my ear
It's a shiver up my spine
It's the gratitude I feel for all that's right
It's a mystery appeal that's been granted me tonight
This peace
It's something so elusive
Something close but far away
It's the home that I can't live in yet somewhere in outer space
And sometimes I barely miss it when I walk into the room
The curtains are still swaying and I feel the air move
And it whispers in my ear and it shivers up my spine
It's the gratitude I feel for all that's right
It's a mystery appeal that's been granted me tonight
This peace
No time to grab a camera
No time to write it down
Just time enough to breathe it in
And linger
It's a whisper in my ear
It's a shiver up my spine
It's the gratitude I feel for all that's right
It's a mystery appeal that's been granted me tonight
This peace
This peace
Tornado
SARA GrOVES SONG LYRICS
You live your life like a tornado.
Destruction follows everywhere you go.
And you have no plans to stop or slow.
I will not let this bitter root grow in me.
I will not let you leave that legacy,
But it gets so hard when pain is all I see.
And every time I find healing, you're making a new mess,
And I am learning the real meaning of forgiveness.
And I tried to remove myself from your path,
But I keep on waking up in the aftermath.
So I pick up again and say I won't look back.
And I will not let this bitter root grow in me.
I will not let you leave that legacy,
But this constant fight is breaking me.
And every time I find healing, you're making a new mess,
And I am learning the real meaning of forgiveness.
And it hurts when you hit at the hearts of the ones I love;
When everything you touch is rubble and dust.
And it gets so hard to know how to trust,
But I will not let that bitter root grow.
I will not let it, no no.
But it gets so hard .
And every time I find healing you're making a new mess,
And I am learning the real meaning of forgiveness.
And I could move and never send you a forwarding address,
Or I could learn the real meaning of forgiveness.
First Song That I Sing
SARA GrOVES SONG LYRICS
In the morning when I rise
Help me to prioritize
All the thoughts that fill my day
Before my schedule
Tells me that my day is full
Before I'm off and on my way
I want to praise you
I need to praise you
Let the first song that I sing
Be praises to my God and King
Before the curtains part
Before my day is starting
Before I make up the bed
Before the snooze alarm
Reminds me that it's morning
Before the dreams have left my head
I want to praise You
I need to praise You
Let the first song that I sing
Be praises to my God and King
(Praise the Lord, Praise Him)
(Praise the Lord, Praise)
Before my feet hit the floor, I'll praise you Lord, I'll praise you Lord
Before I fill my cup, I'll lift you up, I'll lift you up
Before I start my day, I'll sing Your praise, I'll sing Your praise
Before I start my car, before I get too far.
You Cannot Lose My Love
Sara Groves Song Lyrics
You will lose your baby teeth.
At times, you'll lose your faith in me.
You will lose a lot of things,
But you cannot lose my love.
You may lose your appetite,
Your guiding sense of wrong and right.
You may lose your will to fight,
But you cannot lose my love.
You will lose your confidence.
In times of trial, your common sense.
You may lose your innocence,
But you cannot lose my love.
Many things can be misplaced;
Your very memories be erased.
No matter what the time or space,
You cannot lose my love.
You cannot lose,
You cannot lose,
You cannot lose my love.
Jesus, You’re Beautiful
Sara Groves Song Lyrics
Songwriters: Nathan Orville Sabin
Jesus, bright as the morning star
Jesus, how can I tell you
How beautiful you are to me
Jesus, song that the angels sing
Jesus, dearer to my heart
Than anything
Sweeter than springtime
Purer than sunshine
Ever my song will be
Jesus, You're beautiful to me
Jesus, bright as the morning star
Jesus, how can I tell you
How beautiful you are to me
My Jesus, song that the angels sing
Jesus, dearer to my heart
Than anything
Sweeter than spring time
Purer than sunshine
Ever my song will be
Jesus, You're beautiful to me
Oh, You are so beautiful
Oh Beautiful
So beautiful
So beautiful
Jesus, you're beautiful to me
Beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful, Jesus, You're beautiful to me
Beautiful, wonderful, everything
Beautiful, Jesus, You're beautiful to me
Wonderful, morning star, Lord you are, Beautiful

I Can’t Wait
Sara Groves Song Lyrics
When you reach the proper age
I will teach you to read and you can turn the pages
How to dress and tie your shoes
Your one plus ones, and your two times two's
And you'll teach me
Of hearts and dreams
And all the most important things
And all that i have lost along the way
And I can't wait
As you grow, I'll show you things
How to ride your bike and kick your legs out on the swings
To fold your hands and bow your head
How to say your prayers before you go to bed
And you'll teach me
Of hearts and dreams
And all the most important things
And all that I have lost along the way
And I can't wait
How do you sleep so peacefully?
How do you trust unflinchingly?
How do you love so faithfully?
How do you dance so joyfully?
Oh you'll teach me
Of hearts and dreams
And all the most important (essential) things
And all that i have lost along the way
And I can't
No I can't
Come teach me
Of love and dreams
And all the most essential thing
And all that I have lost along the way
Cause I can't wait
Station Wagon
Sara Groves Song Lyrics
Songwriter: Don Chaffer
Honey help me pack up the station wagon
I'm eager to leave even though my feet are draggin'
If we can get on the road by sunset
We'll forget about what we haven't done yet
Help me pack up the station wagon
Honey go put the baby in the car seat
We're almost ready and by the way I'm sorry
In all this hurry I forgot to be kind
I got so worried that I lost my mind
By the way I'm sorry
Honey I'm happy and I feel so alive
I can't believe that we just took the dive
The water sometimes it's deep and cold
But it's a beautiful place for growin' old
Honey I'm happy and I feel so alive
A Lot Like Me
Sara Groves Song Lyrics
Baby I'm afraid you're a lot like me
You can't help feeling everything
I can see you trying to hold it in
I see your eyes and your trembling chin
And for you and myself I will pray
Let our weakness become our strength
Baby there are some holes you just can't fill
You try and try but you never will
Baby I believe a God who can
He loves the boy and he'll love the man
And for you and myself I will pray
Let our weakness become our strength
Small Piece Of You
Sara Groves Song Lyrics
I just want a small piece of you
A token to put in my pocket
And I will own that one things
And it would make me happy
I just want a small piece of you
Somethin to put in a locket
And i will look at it daily
And that will make me happy
I guess it's human nature to want to hold you very still
I guess it's in a mother to inject a little guilt
Go on son and see the world; I hope you see it all
But please please please don't forget to call
Free to fly free to go free to not look back
That's how free I want you though it scares me half to death
Free to wander miles and miles and free to come back home
That's how free I want you though it chills me to the bone
...Go on son and spread your wings; I hope that you take flight
But please please please don't forget to write
I know you're just a baby sleeping in your bed
And you probably have other thoughts drifting through your head
I know this conversation's a little premature
It's just that I've heard eighteen years goes by like a blur
...I know that it's not fair for me to hold you down now is it
But please please please don't forget to visit
Free to fly free to go free to come back home...
When He Cries (Charles Bronson)
Sara Groves Song Lyrics
Looks like an angle when he's sleepin'
There's a little piece of
Heaven where he lies
Looks like an angel when he's sleepin'
But he looks like Charles Bronson when he cries
He looks like Charles Bronson when he's cryin'
He doesn't have a mustache
But he's tryin'
When he's content he's like a present sent from
Paradise
But he looks like Charles Bronson when he cries
He looks like Charles Bronson
He once went to Wisconsin
He looks like Charles Bronson when he cries
When he cries
Prayers For This Child
Sara Groves Song Lyrics
I do not know how I am to pray for this child
As a mother I don't want my baby denied
But in the waiting in the waiting
I learned
Every instinct in me wants to shield him from pain
Take the arrows of misery, heartache and blame
But in the sorrow in the sorrow
I learned to hold on
I only have two eyes - be all seeing
I only have two hands - be everywhere
I do not know enough - to be all knowing
I give this baby up into your care
I do not know how, how to pray for this child
I want to guard her from everything wicked and wild
But in the trial in the trial
I learned to hold on
And in the trial, in the trial
I learned to hold on to the heart of God
Angels Watching Over Me
Sara Groves Song Lyrics
All day, all night,
Angels watching over me, my Lord.
All day, all night,
Angels are watching over me.
Sun is setting in the West;
Angels watching over me, my Lord.
Come now child, and take your rest;
While angels are watching over me.
All day, all night,
Angels watching over me, my Lord.
All day, all night,
Angels are watching over me.
Now I lay me down to sleep,
Angels watching over me, my Lord.
Pray the Lord my soul to keep,
While Angels are watching over me
Beautiful Child
Sara Groves Song Lyrics
Beautiful child right from the moment you were born
You overtook my heart my world
My beautiful child
Tender and sweet both in your crying and your sleep
You radiate a sense of hope
You're beautiful
And I have seen the most amazing sights
In my travels on the earth
Misty seas and amber harbor lights
And other things of matchless worth
But next to you all of the beauty seems so plain
You would think I'd never seen a beautiful thing
And I have seen the most amazing sights
In my travels on the earth
Seven sacred pools on starry nights
And other things of matchless worth
But next to you all of the beauty seems so plain
You would think I'd never seen a beautiful thing
I have seen the most amazing sights
In my travels on the earth
Moonlight sleeping on the canyon heights
And other things of matchless worth
But next to you all of the beauty seems so plain
You would think I'd never seen a beautiful thing
Morning Will Be On The Other Side
Sara Groves Song Lyrics
Little girl tie on your angel wings
And fly fly
Fly fly fly
Fly far away until you fall asleep
Oh fly fly fly fly fly
Fly into the place you see
The sun is setting
Fly into the land of ever after
Endings
Fly until you come upon love I am send-ing
The morning will be on the other side
So fly
Little boy climb on your pillow steed
And ride
Ride ride ride ride
Ride far away until you fall
Asleep
Oh ride ride ride ride ride
Ride into the
Place you see the sun is setting
Right into the
Land of ever after endings
Ride until you come
Upon love I am sending
The morning will be on the
Other side
So ride
Fast Asleep
Sara Groves Song Lyrics
When the night comes
Polar bear cubs sleep in
Their caves
Calves on the farm sleep in the barn
Warm in the hay
Nothing in this world is quite
As sweet
As a tiny baby fast asleep
I could
Watch you to the end of time
Especially when
That baby is mine
Kittens and pups eyes all
Closed up
Snuggle near mom
Robin's and wren's
Chicks have been fed
Sleep until dawn
Nothing
In this world is quite as sweet
As a tiny baby
Fast asleep
I could watch you to the end of time
Especially when that baby is mine
The One Thing I Know
Sara Groves Song Lyrics
And the clouds just parted
On a corner of my life
And I can see for miles
And the things I was stuck on
Things I thought would never change
They just broke open wide
This is the one thing I know
You said You won't let me go
You said You won't let me go
You've done a good work in me
And You won't quit till I'm free
And the veil just lifted
I can finally understand
The way You work in me
But even if I didn't
You are still a sovereign God
Who has a plan for me
This is the one thing I know
You said You won't let me go
You said You won't let me go
You've done a good work in me
And You won't quit till I'm free
It's good to know You work
With hurt and broken souls
That You'll take a soul like mine
And in all the world
Nothing's taken hold of me
Like Christ
This is the one thing
This is the only thing
You are the one thing
You are the only thing
This is the one thing I know
This is the one thing I know
You said You won't let me go
You said You won't let me go
You've done a good work in me
And now Your making me free
This is the one thing I know
You said You won't let me go
You said You won't let me go
You've done a good work in me
And You won't quit till I'm free
This is the one thing I know
This is the one thing
This is the one thing
Jeremiah
Sara Groves Song Lyrics
Jeremiah, tell me about the fire
That burns up in Your bones
I want to know, I want to know more now
The burning of ambition and desire
It never could come close
To that fire, to that fire
I was looking to myself
And I forgot the power of God
I was standing with a sparkler in my hand
While I stood so proud and profound
You came and burned this whole place down
Now that's a fire
Jeremiah, tell me about the fire
That burns up in Your bones
I want to know, I want to know more now
The burning of ambition and desire
It never could come close
To that fire, to that fire
And I was caught up in this vice
And its power to entice
I was dwelling on my hopelessness and doubt
With the slightest invitation
You came with total detonation
Now that's a fire
Jeremiah, tell me about the fire
That burns up in Your bones
I want to know, I want to know more now
Jeremiah, tell me about the fire
'Cause nothing could come close
To that fire, to that fire
Jeremiah
And I was warming my hands by this little light of mine
But now I know, I know it's time
To come in from the cold
Fight fire with fire and fan the flame
Come stir up these coals in my soul, in my soul
Till it burns out of control
Jeremiah, tell me about the fire
That burns up in Your bones
I want to know, I want to know more now
Jeremiah, tell me about the fire
'Cause nothing could come close
To that fire, to that fire
Jeremiah
That's a fire
Jeremiah
It's a fire
And I was warming my hands by this little light of mine
But now I know, I know, I know it's time
To come in from the cold
Come in from the cold
Stir up in my bones, stir up in my bones
Stir up in my bones
Evil, will you stir up in my bones?
I was looking to myself, I was looking to myself
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine
Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine
Compelled
Sara Groves Song Lyrics
What a relief it is to know
I’m a slave to Christ
Of all the masters I have known
I’m compelled to live this life
Free for you
I’m on the other side of something
I’m on the other side of something
I have a new hope that blows away
The small hopes I knew before
And at the end of the day I am yours
And I am compelled
You’ve written on my very heart
Where no man can legislate
The law of your love has taken hold
With your holiness and grace
There’s no mistake
I’m on the other side of something
I’m coming out the other side, the other side
I have a new hope that blows away
The small hopes I knew before
And at the end of the day I am yours
And I am compelled
I am drawn and driven, I am compelled
You have written it, I am compelled
You live in me
And I can’t help myself
