Loving My Jesus (New York Sessions) - Casting Crowns

I was a wandering soul Traveling a well worn road A sinner so far from home No second chance in sight I heard You call my name I felt You lift my shame And I made a vow that day That I'd spend the rest of my life Loving my Jesus Showing my scars Telling my story of how mercy Can reach you where you are And I pray the whole world hears The cry of my heart Is to see all the ones I love Loving my Jesus Sin tries to make you hide Whispers that same old lie Keep all your pain inside 'Cause no one will understand The last thing this lost world needs Is someone I'm trying to be Truth that has set me free Is that I'm just a broken man Loving my Jesus Showing my scars Telling my story of how mercy Can reach you where you are And I pray the whole world hears The cry of my heart Is to see all the ones I love Loving my Jesus When all is said and done When my last song's been sung I stand face to face with the one Who gave all for me May all I have to show Be all that mattered most Making Your great name known Let this be my only legacy Loving my Jesus Showing my scars Telling my story of how mercy Can reach you where you are And I pray the whole world hears The cry of my heart Is to see all the ones I love All the ones I love Loving my Jesus

I was sure by now, God you would have reached down And wiped our tears away Stepped in and saved the day But once again, I say amen And it's still raining But as the thunder rolls I barely hear your whisper through the rain I am with you And as your mercy falls I raise my hands and praise the God who gives and takes away And I'll praise you in this storm And I will lift my hand For you are who you are No matter where I am And every tear I've cried You hold in your hand You never left my side And though my heart is torn I will praise you in this storm And I remember when I stumbled in the wind You heard my cry to you raised me up again But my strength is almost gone how can I carry on If I can't find you But as the thunder rolls I barely hear you whisper through the rain I'm with you And as your mercy falls I raise my hands and praise the God who give and takes away And I'll praise you in this storm And I will lift my hands For you are who you are No matter where I am And every tear I've cried You hold in your hand You never left my side And though my heart is torn I will praise you in this storm And I lift my eyes unto the hills Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord The maker of heaven and earth I lift my eyes unto the hills Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord The maker of heaven and earth And I'll praise you in this storm And I will lift my hand For you are who you are No matter where I am And every tear I've cried You hold in your hand You never left my side And though my heart is torn I will praise you in this storm And though my heart is torn I will praise you in this storm And I will praise you in this storm And I will praise you in this storm

What do you think about when you look at me I know we're not the fairytale you dreamed we'd be You wore the veil, you walked the aisle, you took my hand And we dove into a mystery How I wish we could go back to simpler times Before all our scars and all our secrets were in the light Now on this hallowed ground, we've drawn the battle lines Will we make it through the night It's going to take much more than promises this time Only God can change our minds Maybe you and I were never meant to be complete Could we just be broken together If you can bring your shattered dreams and I'll bring mine Could healing still be spoken and save us The only way we'll last forever is broken together Maybe you and I were never meant to be complete Could we just be broken together If you can bring your shattered dreams and I'll bring mine Could healing still be spoken and save us The only way we'll last forever is broken together
