Breakin' at the cracks

"Breakin' At The Cracks"

I think you took my heart away when you said you're leaving
Cause' right now I am hurting all over again
And I never thought that I'd be in these places on this day
And now I don't know how much more that I can take

I'm breaking at the cracks
And everything goes black
It's another heart attack
And I can't handle that
Woo~ Love I need you back

I know that I'll get through this
The feeling is stronger somehow
I got my feet back on the ground
And I'm turning around
And I'll be everything you always said that I could be
If only you'll be waiting right here for me patiently

I'm breaking at the cracks
And everything goes black
It's another heart attack
And I can't handle that
Woo~ Love I need you back

Oh whenever would I take you back,
My heart was filled with love
And I wipe these tears and I will laugh
If only I could make it last

Breaking at the cracks
And everything goes black
It's another heart attack
And I can't handle that
Woo. Love I need you back
I need you back
I need you back
I need you back...

"Never Be Forgotten" Jessica Andrews

"Never Be Forgotten"

I’ll always see your face

The corner of your smile

And all the little things that no one will ever know
Like it was yesterday, won’t ever fade away
Goodbye is just a word that I will never say

You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
Oh I still feel you here with me
You’re more than a memory
Oh you will never be forgotten

I can‘t hold your hand
Or look into your eyes
And when I talk to you
It just echoes in my mind
But If hearts are made of dust
And if we fell from the stars
I look up tonight and know just where you are

You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
Oh I still feel you here with me
You’re more than a memory
Oh you will never be forgotten

And the world just keeps on going
It has no way of knowing
That you’re gone

You will never be forgotten
A million days could pass us by
But what is time but just a dream
Oh I still feel you here with me
You’re more than a memory
Oh you will never be forgotten

Olivianna-- JJ Heller

Hearts broke


When your heart stopped beating

I don't

Know if mine will ever stop bleeding



Eleven minutes

To breathe you in

I felt the darkness

When I knew I couldn't hold you again

When I knew I couldn't hold you again



Olivianna, you're in the arms of God

Just a moment there is better than here



Life is short but it is wide

I know it's true

You touched more souls

Than most people ever do



Olivianna, you're in the arms of God

Just a moment there is better than here



You could not stay with us

(You could not stay with us)

We will come to you

(We will come to you)

You could not stay with us

(You could not stay with us)



Oh oh oh oh

(You could not stay with us)

You're going home love

(We will come to you)

Where you belong

(You could not stay with us)

Oh my baby, girl

I'll see you soon



Olivianna, you're in the arms of God

Just a moment there is better than here



(You could not stay with us)

Olivianna,

(We will come to you)

You're in the arms of God

(You could not stay with us)

Just a moment there

(We will come)

Is better than here

Who You Are

Who You Are

Words and Music by Dave and JJ Heller


All she wanted was a baby to hold

She’s still waiting at 41 years old

Her life feels like a tragedy

And it’s driving her down to her knees



She says, “I don’t know

I don’t know what you’re doing

But I know who you are”



It was after midnight when he answered the phone

The doctor said his daughter was never coming home

Sometimes life doesn’t make any sense

Full of war and pain and accidents



He’s praying, “I don’t know

I don’t know what you’re doing

But I know who you are”



You have a father’s heart

And a love that’s wild

And you know what it’s like to lose

Yeah, you know what it’s like

What it’s like to lose a child



Sometimes I don’t know

I don’t know what you’re doing

I don’t know, I don’t know

Sometimes I don’t know

I don’t know what you’re doing

But I know who you are

Worn- 10th Avenue North

"Worn"

I’m Tired I’m worn
My heart is heavy
From the work it takes
To keep on breathing
I’ve made mistakes
I’ve let my hope fail
My soul feels crushed
By the weight of this world

And I know that you can give me rest
So I cry out with all that I have left

Let me see redemption win
Let me know the struggle ends
That you can mend a heart
That’s frail and torn
I wanna know a song can rise
From the ashes of a broken life
And all that’s dead inside can be reborn
Cause I’m worn

I know I need to lift my eyes up
But I'm too weak
Life just won’t let up
And I know that you can give me rest
So I cry out with all that I have left

Let me see redemption win
Let me know the struggle ends
That you can mend a heart
That’s frail and torn
I wanna know a song can rise
From the ashes of a broken life
And all that’s dead inside can be reborn
Cause I’m worn

My prayers are wearing thin
Yeah, I’m worn
Even before the day begins
Yeah, I’m worn
I’ve lost my will to fight
I’m worn
So, heaven come and flood my eyes

Let me see redemption win
Let me know the struggle ends
That you can mend a heart
That’s frail and torn
I wanna know a song can rise
From the ashes of a broken life
And all that’s dead inside can be reborn
Cause all that’s dead inside will be reborn

Though I’m worn
Yeah I’m worn

Chris Daughtry- Gone too Soon

"Gone Too Soon"

Today could have been the day,
That you blow out your candles,
Make a wish as you close your eyes.

Today could have been the day,
Everybody was laughing,
Instead I just sit here and cry,

Who would you be?
What would you look like,
When you looked at me for the very first time?
Today could have been the next day of the rest of your life.

Not a day goes by,
That I don't think of you,
I'm always asking why this crazy world had to lose,
Such a ray of light we never knew,
Gone too soon, yeah.

Would you have been president
Or a painter, an author, or sing like your mother?
One thing is evident,
Would've given all I had,
Would've loved you like no other.

Who would you be,
What would you look like,
Would you have my smile and her eyes?
Today could have been the next day of the rest of your life.

Not a day goes by,
That I don't think of you,
I'm always asking why this crazy world had to lose,
Such a ray of light we never knew,
Gone too soon, yeah.

Not a day goes by,
Oh
I'm always asking why.

Not a day goes by,
That I don't think of you,
I'm always asking why this crazy world had to lose,
Such a beautiful light we never knew,
Gone too soon,
You were gone too soon
Yeah.

Not a day goes by,
That I don't think of you.

"The Hurt & The Healer" --Mercy Me

Why?

The question that is never far away

The healing doesn’t come from the explained

Jesus please don’t let this go in vain

You’re all I have

All that remains



So here I am

What’s left of me

Where glory meets my suffering



I’m alive

Even though a part of me has died

You take my heart and breathe it back to life

I’ve fallen into Your arms open wide

When the hurt and the healer collide



Breathe

Sometimes I feel it’s all that I can do

Pain so deep that I can hardly move

Just keep my eyes completely fixed on You

Lord take hold and pull me through



So here I am

What’s left of me

Where glory meets my suffering



I’m alive

Even though a part of me has died

You take my heart and breathe it back to life

I’ve fallen into your arms open wide

When the hurt and the healer collide



It’s the moment when humanity

Is overcome by majesty

When grace is ushered in for good

And all our scars are understood

When mercy takes its rightful place

And all these questions fade away

When out of the weakness we must bow

And hear You say “It’s over now”



I’m alive

Even though a part of me has died

You take my heart and breathe it back to life

I’ve fallen into your arms open wide

When The hurt and the healer collide



Jesus come and break my fear

Awake my heart and take my tears

Find Your glory even here

When the hurt and the healer collide [x2]



Jesus come and break my fear

Awake my heart and take my tears

Find Your glory even here

Held by Natalie Grant

Two months is too little, they let him go


They had no sudden healing

To think that providence

Would take a child from his mother

While she prays, is appalling



Who told us we'd be rescued

What has changed and

Why should we be saved from nightmares

We're asking why this happens to us



Who have died to live, it's unfair

This is what it means to be held

How it feels when the sacred is torn from your life

And you survive



This is what it is to be loved and to know

That the promise was that when everything fell

We'd be held



This hand is bitterness

We want to taste it and

Let the hatred numb our sorrows

The wise hand opens slowly

To lilies of the valley and tomorrow



This is what it means to be held

How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life

And you survive



This is what it is to be loved and to know

That the promise was that when everything fell

We'd be held



If hope if born of suffering

If this is only the beginning

Can we not wait for one hour

Watching for our Savior



This is what it means to be held

How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life

And you survive



This is what it is to be loved and to know

That the promise was that when everything fell

We'd be held

Need You Now- Plumb

Well, everybody's got a story to tell


And everybody's got a wound to be healed

I want to believe there's beauty here

So, I guess you're tired of holding on

I can't let go, I can't move on

I want to believe there's meaning here



How many times have you heard me cry out

"God please take this"?

How many times have you given me strength to

Just keep breathing?

Oh I need you

God, I need you now.



Standing on a road I didn't plan

Wondering how I got to where I am

I'm trying to hear that still small voice

I'm trying to hear above the noise



How many times have you heard me cry out

"God please take this"?

How many times have you given me strength to

Just keep breathing?

Oh I need you

God, I need you now.



Though I walk,

Though I walk through the shadows

And I, I am so afraid

Please stay, please stay right beside me

With every single step I take



How many times have you heard me cry out?

And how many times have you given me strength?



How many times have you heard me cry out

"God please take this"?

How many times have you given me strength to

Just keep breathing?

Oh I need you

God, I need you now.



I need you now

Oh I need you

God, I need you now.

I need you now

I need you now

When the Wind Blows- Point of Grace

Night turns to daylight


And things are quite the same

You wake up and make up

Another day's routine


Then the sun begins to shine

As if the face of God, were near

And a trumpet sound is played

As if all the world could hear



That's the day when the wind blows

That's the day when the earth begins to move

When the lion and the lamb

Start walking two by two

That's the day when the wind blows

When the sky is torn in two

And the Lord of Lords in all His glory

Comes for you

When the wind blows


When the wind blows

When the wind blows

When the wind blows

When the wind blows

When the wind blows

Beside you, behind you

Believers on their knees

And somehow you know now

Everyone you see



So hand-in-hand you fly away
To meet Him in the sky

This Man that you have dreamed about

He's right before your eyes


That's the day when the wind blows

That's the day when the earth begins to move

When the lion and the lamb

Start walking two by two

That's the day when the wind blows

When the sky is torn in two

And the Lord of Lords in all His glory

Comes for you

When the wind blows

When the wind blows

That's the day when the wind blows

When the earth begins to move

When the lion and the lamb

Start walking two by two

When the wind blows

When the sky is torn in two

And the Lord of Lords in all His glory

Comes for you

When the wind blows

Cover Me- FFH

I didn't see this coming


It hit like a big surprise

Like a thief in the night

Stealing away my sunshine

Now I'm crawling on my hands and knees

Looking for the light

It hit me from the blind side

Now I don't know what to do

It hit me from the blind side

I cry out to You

I don't have any answers

Your ways are higher

Your love is stronger

And through this pain

You'll cover me

Your grace is greater

When there are no answers

And through this pain

You'll cover me

And through this pain

You'll cover me

I never thought this could happen

I'm living in my own nightmare

Are You even there?

Hanging on by a thread now

I'm begging for the pain to end

Will it ever end?

It hit me from the blind side

It's getting hard to breathe

It hit me from the blind side

The hurt, it feels so deep

And I don't have any answers

Now each night seems so long

I don't think I'm this strong

How many times can I ask why?

I can't believe this is real

Only You- FFH

You came


Like a criminal in the night

You stole my heart

Right out from under me

It happened so suddenly

I'm living in a fantasy

If only just to see



You smile

And everything comes alive

I don't know how I ever

Survived without you

Bringing out the kid in me

Now I'm resigned to

Say it's



Only you

You and only you

You and only you

Can take this heart

(From: http://www.elyrics.net)

And make it new

You and only you



I try

To make something of my day

But I hopelessly drift away

To the place where

We can be alone again

I'll never be the same again

All because of



Well I may not be

Able to find

Able to find the words to say

To tell you how I feel

About the way you make me feel

But I'll try this way

Heal the Wounds- Point of Grace

I used to wish that I could rewrite history

I used to dream that each mistake could be erased

Then I could just pretend

I never knew me back then



I used to pray that You would take this shame away

Hide all the evidence of who I've been

But it's the memory of

The place You brought me from

That keeps me on my knees

And even though I'm free



Heal the wound but leave the scar

A reminder of how merciful You are

I am broken, torn apart

Take the pieces of this heart

And heal the wound but leave the scar



I have not lived a life that boasts of anything

I don't take pride in what I bring

But I'll build an altar with

The rubble that You've found me in

And every stone will sing

Of what You can redeem



Heal the wound but leave the scar

A reminder of how merciful You are

I am broken, torn apart

Take the pieces of this heart

And heal the wound but leave the scar



Don't let me forget

Everything You've done for me

Don't let me forget

The beauty in the suffering



Heal the wound but leave the scar

A reminder of how merciful You are

I am broken, torn apart

Take the pieces of this heart

And heal the wound but leave the scar

Out of My Hands- Matthew West

There you go changing my plans again


There you go shifting my sands again

For reasons I don't understand again

Lately I don't have a clue



Just when I start liking what I see

There you go changing my scenery

I never know where you're taking me

But I'm trying just to follow you



It's out of my hands

It's out of my reach

It's over my head

And it's out of my league

There's too many things

That I don't understand

So it's into your will

And it's out of my hands



There you go healing these scars again

Showing me right where you are again

I'm helpless, and that's where I start again

I'm giving it all up to you



It's out of my hands

It's out of my reach

It's over my head

And it's out of my league

There's too many things

That I don't understand

So it's into your will

And it's out of my hands



Move me, make me

Choose me, change me

Send me, shake me

Find me, remind me

The past is behind me

Take it all away

Take it all from me, I pray



It's out of my hands

It's out of my reach

It's over my head

And it's out of my league

There's too many things

That I don't understand

So it's into your will

And it's out of my hands

You Know Where to Find Me- Matthew West

Balled my eyes out listening to this one this morning.


I saw your sky fall down today


Suddenly turn from blue to gray

'Til one by one the raindrops

Turned to tears upon your face

Wish there was something I could do

Wish I could ease the pain from you

But I've never felt so helpless

It's like you're drowning right in front of me

And I'm reaching out but you can't see

There's something holding on to you so tight

So I guess this is all I'll say to you tonight



If you ever need me

You know where to find me

I will be waiting

Where I've always been

If you ever need me

You know where to find me

I have never left you

I'm where I've always been

Right by your side

Right by your side



If the whole wide world is on your back

If the strength you need is the strength you lack

If you're in a crowd but all alone

If you can't stay here but you can't go home

If you can't answer all the whys

'Cause you're too tired to reach that high

I want you to remember



If you ever need me

You know where to find me

I will be waiting

Where I've always been

If you ever need me

You know where to find me

I have never left you

I'm where I've always been

Right by your side

Right by your side



If the whole wide world is on your back

If the strength you need is the strength you lack

If you're in a crowd but all alone

If you can't stay here but you can't go home

If you can't answer all the why's

'Cause you're too tired to reach that high

I want you to

I need you to remember



If you ever need me

You know where to find me

I will be waiting

Where I've always been

If you ever need me

You know where to find me

I have never left you

I'm where I've always been

Right by your side

Right by your side

Glory Baby by Watermark

Glory baby, you slipped away

As fast as we could say baby, baby

You were growing, what happened dear

You disappeared on us baby, baby



Heaven will hold you before we do

Heaven will keep you safe

Until we're home with you

Until we're home with you



We miss you everyday, miss you in every way

But we know there's a day when we will hold you, we will hold you

And you'll kiss our tears away, when we're home to stay

We can't wait for the day when we will see you, we will see you

But baby let sweet Jesus hold you, until mom and dad can hold you

You'll just have heaven before we do

You'll just have heaven before we do

Before we do



Sweet little baby, it's hard to understand it

'Cause we are hurting, we are hurting

But there is healing, and we know we're stronger people

Through the growing, and in knowing



All things work together for our good

And God works his purposes

Just like he said he would

Just like he said he would



We miss you everyday, miss you in every way

But we know there's a day when we will hold you, we will hold you

And you'll kiss our tears away, when we're home to stay

We can't wait for the day when we will see you, we will see you

But baby let sweet Jesus hold you, until mom and dad can hold you

You'll just have heaven before we do

You'll just have heaven before we do



I can't imagine heaven's lullabies

And what they must sound like

But I will rest in knowing

Heaven is your home

And it's all you'll ever know

All you'll ever know



We miss you everyday, miss you in every way

But we know there's a day when we will hold you, we will hold you

And you'll kiss our tears away, when we're home to stay

We can't wait for the day when we will see you, we will see you

But baby let sweet Jesus hold you, until mom and dad can hold you

You'll just have heaven before we do

You'll just have heaven before we do

Yeah, you'll just have heaven before we do

Before we do

Beauty Will Rise- Steven Curtis Chapman

Beauty Will Rise

It was the day the world went wrong
I screamed til my voice was gone
And watched through the tears as everything
Came crashing down

Slowy panic turns to pain
As we awake to what remains
And sift through the ashes
That are left behind

But buried deep beneath
All our broken dreams we have this hope

Out of these ashes beauty will rise
And we will dance among the ruins
We will see it with our own eyes
Out of these ashes beauty will rise
For we know joy is coming in the morning
In the morning, beauty will rise

So take another breath for now
And let the tears come washing down
And if you can't believe, I will believe for you

Cause I have seen the signs of spring
Just watch and see

Out of these ashes beauty will rise
And we will dance among the ruins
We will see it with our own eyes
Out of these ashes beauty will rise
For we know joy is coming in the morning
In the morning

I can hear it in the distance
And it's not too far away
It's the music and the laughter
Of a wedding and a feast
I can almost feel the hand of God
Reaching for my face to wipe the tears away
You say it's time to make everything new
Make it all new

This is our hope
This is a promise
This is our hope
This is a promise

It will take our breath away
To see the beauty that's been made
Out of the ashes, out of the ashes

It will take our breath away
To see the beauty that He's made
Out of the ashes, out of the ashes

Out of these ashes
Beauty will rise
And we will dance among the ruins
We will see it with our own eyes
Out of this darkness
New light will shine
And we'll know the joy that's coming in the morning
In the morning
Beauty will rise

Oh, beauty will rise
Oh, oh, oh, beauty will rise
Oh, oh, oh, beauty will rise
Oh, oh, oh, beauty will rise

Blessings

What if your blessings come through raindrops?

What if your healing comes through tears?

And what if a thousand sleepless nights

are what it takes to know you’re near?

What if my greatest disappointment

Or the aching of this life

Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can’t satisfy?

And what if trials of this life

The rain, the storms, the hardest nights

Are your mercies in disguise?
