Faith's "Year in Song"

Last year, when Emily, Hannah, Kate and Sarah all composed songs to sum up their year, I decided I wanted to do the same thing. However, I waited till January of 2015 to begin. In the blink of an eye, 2015 has come to an end, so without further ado, here is my year in song (It is long, so be warned):

There is hope for me yet

Because God won’t forget

All the plans He’s made for me

I have to wait and see

He’s not finished with me yet

And I know you’re here

And you’re picking up the pieces

Forever faithful

And in my heart I find a need

For him to be my Savior

Father God, I am clay in your hands

Help me to stay that way through all life’s demands

I don’t wanna gain the whole world and lose my soul

And You changed me from what I used to be

Opened my eyes now I can see

You’re making this life so beautiful

And You making me who I’m called to be

Rescue my heart

Now I am free

You’re making this life so beautiful, so beautiful

I guess it’s not what you take when you leave this world behind you

It’s what you leave behind you when you go

Living and dying

Laughing and crying

I know there are long nights

But we’ll make it

With every sunrise come a new light

A soldier coming home from war… and hard goodbyes

Gonna put the world away for a minute

Pretend I don’t live in it

Sunshine gonna wash my blues away

Cause now I’m knee deep in the water somewhere

Got the blue sky breeze blowing wind through my hair

Only worry in the world: “Is the tide gonna reach my chair?”

We pour out our miseries

God just hears a melody

Beautiful the mess we are

The honest cries of a breaking heart

Are better than a hallelujah

This world can be cold and bitter

Feels like we’re in the dead of winter

Waiting on something better

But am I really gonna hide forever?

Over and over again

I hear Your voice in my head

Let your light shine, let your light shine

For all to see

Start of fire in my soul

Fan the flame and make it grow

So there’s no doubt or denying

Let it burn so brightly

That everyone around can see

That it’s You, that it’s You that we need

Start a fire in me

Healing rain, it comes with fire

So let it fall and take us higher

You lead, I’ll follow

Your hands hold my tomorrow

Your grace, Your grip, You know the way

You guide me tenderly

When You lead, I’ll follow

Just light the way and I’ll go

Cause I know what you got for me is more than I can see

So lead me on, on, on and on

Just lead me on, on, on and on

Love don’t have to be a bunch a drama

A bunch of knockdown, drag-outs

Cryin’ in the rain

It’s alright to keep it light

Now mama, don’t you think

I’m waiting

I’m waiting on You, Lord

And I am peaceful

I’m waiting on you, Lord

Though it’s not easy

But faithfully, I will wait

Yes I will wait

While I’m waiting

I will serve You while I’m waiting

I will worship while I’m waiting

I will not faint

I’ll be running the race

Even while I wait

You're a Good, Good Father

It's who you are, it's who you are, it's who you are

And I'm loved by you

It's who I am, it's who I am, it's who I am
