White Page
words and music by Tanya Godsey
You and I we write our lines with seven days a week
And in the twenty-four that each day stores we hold possibility
But when we pull the shades our page is blank
We chalk it up to progress a better story waits another day
lost to the T.V. set
We're just a white page
We're just a white page
The story of our days
Is like a white page
Do our lives leave much space for the the hand of a writing God
To create to sign His name on us when the work is done
Because the ink we hold is not our own time takes the ending
And so the sun has set on my discontent
Cause I don't want to leave
Another white page
Another white page
No the story of my days
Won't be a white page
In hope, in faith, in suffering we are the truth this world will read
Love strikes the page, we're reckless marks we're lines that write redemption's song
When we part with life there's one long page tucked into yesterday
And the lines that keep once we've fallen asleep are etched in eternity
On a white page
On a white page
The story of our names
They're on a white page
No won't leave a white page
No the story of my days
Won't be a white page
Doesn't Feel Like Home
words and music by Tanya Godsey and Staci Frenes
The sun and the moon
Are all that's familiar here
You make all things new
So is this where the dream becomes clear
Do I belong here where Your blessing flows
Because I've come from a desert where
Nothing grows
When I left I didn't put up a fight
Because You led me
To a love I could never find
I won't miss all I'm leaving behind
No I'm taking my hand off that door
Cause it doesn't feel like home
It doesn't feel like home anymore
Where waters are still
Peace is the air I breathe
The mountains and hills
are a green I have never seen
Though I could hear
Freedom come knock for me
It was Your hand
Reaching to turn the key
Chorus
Eighteen years I went walking through the valley
Followed fear down the backside of this land
I flew on Your wings to a place where I rest easy
Where love carried me all I lost You'll redeem
The Only Love
words and music by Tanya Godsey
You survived all of the wars of this world
The genocides and the foxholes
Time stands still as you go passing by
Ages fade but still Your light's alive
Where You start where you end
You're a flame time cannot contain
Cause You're the first and the last
You're the only love
You're the first and the last
You're the only love
You're the first and the last and
The Only Love
You survived all of the wars of the soul
The weapons of questions in battlefields of our own
Backs have turned with their faith
But doubt is undone by a love that rages
Chorus
Make Your way and show Your face within the savage soul
Love is war but You are indestructible
Would You stay if Your retreat it was the safest call
Oh well isn't that the burning question
Afterall...afterall of this.
Chorus
Daylight
words and music by Tanya Godsey
The here and now is happening as we breathe
But the speed of life runs at a pace I can't keep
Lagging behind cause I'm dragging my heart on a line
Pulled by the past and what will be at last I'm
Missing my own life
So I'm letting go cause this life is more than I'm made to hold
So I'm letting go I know
You're strength will bring me life
New mercies they rise up with the Daylight
My sun will set into the sky in the by and by
And the truth will tell what legacy I left alive
Did I worry away all of my numbered days
Or did I believe
Trust in Your hand in bigger plans of a hope unseen
So I'm letting go cause this life is more than I'm made to hold
So I'm letting go I know
You're strength will bring me life
New mercies they rise up with the daylight
Everyday returns to dust
Another war waged for my trust
Can you stop the sun
Until this battle's won
Until this battle's won
For the truth
Til I have believed You
So I'm letting go cause this life is more than I'm made to hold
So I'm letting go I know
You're strength will bring me life
New mercies they rise up with the Daylight
Telling Time
words and music by Tanya Godsey
We are all about a dream
Love is what eternity was made for
Written in the hearts of men
A story we won't understand on this shore
Left us with your letters wrote us in as strangers here
There's no way to measure one day to a thousand years...down here
Every breath I breathe is a longing
Every day I reach to hold truth
You can hear the sound down a million lives
Its my heart beat telling time
Waiting for you
Every soul showed your shape
Wore Your image on that first day
Then we grow, go our way
No we never make it home again
Years and fears are passing by leaving lines to trace
Running down the clock gravity has got to break someday
Every breath I breathe is a longing
Every day I reach to hold truth
You can hear the sound down a million lives
Its my heart beat telling time
Waiting for you
Waiting for my place in a world I was made for
I'll have won this race when they carry me away
Every breath I breathe is a longing
Every day I reach to hold truth
You can hear the sound down a million lives
Its my heart beat telling time
Waiting for you
How To Be Thankful
words and music by Tanya Godsey
There's a corner of the storm still moving out
They said come morning its work would be done
Yet the Heaven's still break raining pain
But You were in the waters washing us again
When the waves rolled in
Hit the house we built
You said only grace would know
How to be thankful
Our windows dim and dark are coming clean
Suddenly we see You moving everything
If the hard winds don't die You're stirring up
taking out the bridges our doubt used to cross
And when the winds roared in
Hit the house we built
We remembered grace would know
How to be thankful
Oh but I still don't know how long it'll rain
Til all our fields grow full with ripened faith
Before I go to face my father's graves oh I pray...Your storms would stay...
til they take what they came for...take what You came for...
is this what you came for...well take what you came for
So when the storms roll in hit the house we built
Oh we know the narrow road to hope
behold the builder is calling come
The walls are up I am the cornerstone
I must become your one and only home
Oh to know
How to be thankful
There's a corner of the storm still moving out
They said that come morning it's work would be done
For The Healing
words and music by Tanya Godsey
Shine oh my soul like one bright burning bush
Glow all the hope that pain once thought it took
For blessed are all the wounds of my heart
Precious like jewels are these grace covered marks
Left exposed for another's hope
Time will send the scars to mend but its all
All for the healing
Truth will speak and set us free and its all
All for the healing and its all
All for the...its all for the healing
So we are mended with strong threads of hope
Woven together our faith piece by piece
Going wide and deep to fit the size of all we believe
Time will send the scars to mend but its all
All for the healing
Truth will speak and set us free and its all
All for the healing and its all
All for the healing
Hold on for the change on the other side of the pain
Strength for the wait will come to you
Time will send the scars to mend but its all
All for the healing
Truth will speak and set us free and its all
All for the healing and its all
All for the...its all for the healing
You Make Everything Beautiful
words and music by Tanya Godsey
Open up Your story
Word by word glory by glory
And I'll believe
For blessings no eye has seen
For beauty that time will bring
When You Make Everything so Beautiful
Take me to the morning
Usher down the dark all the doubt brings
And I'll believe
For blessings no eye has seen
For beauty that time will bring
When You Make Everything so Beautiful
As plans pass through Your hands
They scatter like secrets we don't understand
But seeds that You sow will break ground and rise up
And hope is all beauty a bloom has begun
For what has been what will be glories in Your Kingdom come
You Have Come
Oh Won't You Come
Please Come...
And Make Everything so new
Come Make Everything so new
Cause You Make Everything so beautiful
Open up Your story
Word by word glory by glory
Abraham's Sky
words and music by Tanya Godsey and Sarah Hart
I've got a little bit of Abraham in me
A little bit of faithful inconsistency
Scattered all along my family tree
Oh and the roots run deep the roots run so deep
I've got a little of Sarah inside my veins
laughing out loud at impossible grace
You kept Your word in the heart of a child
but the roots run wild God knows the roots run wild
I'm just a soul looking out at the night
A chosen word in the story You write
Show me my inheritance lead me to Your promises
Set me like a star In Abraham's sky
And I am just like Isaac laying it down
This altar is ready to receive my doubt
So hang all my fears upon this very tree
Til the roots run free let the roots run free
I'm just a soul looking out at the night
A chosen word in the story You write
Show me my inheritance lead me to Your promises
Set me like a star In Abraham's sky
My prayers they fall like rain like a downpour flowing
from a Father's face
I know the dreams that shone in Abraham's sky
I've got the same strange twinkle
in my own very eye
I'm just a soul looking out at the night
A chosen word in the story You write
Show me my inheritance lead me to Your promises
Set me like a star
Set me like a star
Set me like a star
In Abraham's sky
Made For The Journey
words and music by Tanya Godsey
We are sons and daughters blessings born of grace
You trace the soul around its corners we're formed and fit for change
And inside the Spirit will sow and time will tend to the seed
From everyday to eternity
We were made for the journey
When questions conquer answers and hope is slow to arrive
Still we follow forward and inch by inch we fight
When pain runs from soul to seam
We're broken so we can wholly believe
And we belong in these mysteries
Cause we were made for the journey
Birds they're blessed with nests and foxes well they have their dens
But the sons of men we have no place to rest
but in the arms of grace
Love goes before us Love paves the road for the long way home
So we thirst for freedom and grace gives us our taste
Until we reach the table until we've shed these chains
And You hold our times in Your hands
You are our beginning and our end
Until we are a work complete
We were made for the journey
From everyday to eternity
We were made for this journey
