Have a Purpose

I do not want to go down that road again
Fall is nearing end, and winter steers ahead
The taste so rich, a vineyard, a costly friend
Steep trend to what end, a bloody wedding I'm sure to attend
I do not want to go down that road again
Down on one knee I beg, against my will you're in my bed
A life not blessed by Him, turn my back on the artist's hand?
Spin me until my colors run, to see my life that is soon to come
Such abstract bewilderness, only He can paint me to a vast wilderness
So go to it, and live by faith!

Should I

You have devoted your life to me, it's crazy
But all I want to do is push away, from it, I don't, it's hazy
Here I am, picked it up again, trying to make it through
But inside I know it's addiction to pain, my sorrow shows it's vines
I know I can't go on this way, would you hear me out, or turn and run out?
It's times like these that the tears turn to sand, and my heart bleeds in my hand
It doesn't make sense to me, why you've stayed, I make mistakes, this is how you get repaid?
Don't cry again, no I can't bare it, I don't want you to share in it, I never wanted it to be this way
I guess I never should have gone this way, where do I go now!

Have I told you lately that you are beautiful?
So beautiful

What about now, after reading this do you hate me now
All you have done for me was love and surrender to me
Forgave my twisted past, understood my unraisable speed was too fast
But hearing me cry, like a baby full of doubt, pain turned into murder
A jail cell never cold enough to put me down to sleep, so sleepless nights are ever promising
But not even yet have I reached bottom, I can go more, deeper until I can see no more
Until I'm alone, is this what I have in store for me?
Man it's like the ground is 6 feet thick, and I'm buried underneath
Underneath cold enough to stop time, rewind think about what I've done to you!

Have I told you lately that you are beautiful?
So beautiful
I am so lost, and running out of time
Would you understand?
Could you be happier then, or would you fall out of place
Should I

I am so lost, and running out of time
Would you understand?
Could you be happier then, or would you fall out of grace
Should I, should I leave you now

Today I pick up my cross, sick to death of hearing voices tell me I don't care
Running around without a care without a cause purpose, wont listen anymore
Just give up, it dies now, whether or not I live to see them slumped over with love lost
Not my concern, left alone to rot in your own words, it's what you deserve

All I want is to love you, give you everything this world takes away
Love, respect honor, you define these, and I want you to have these
I love more than anything, and I want you to too
It's all I ask

Have I told you lately that you are beautiful?
So beautiful
I am so lost, and running out of time
Would you understand?
Could you be happier then, or would you fall out of place
Should I

Came To Me

When I tell you about us child, about the years about to come
The era of living hope, and the shoes we wear upon our feet
The type of clothing we meant to keep neat, the funny faces that we meet, come to me

She is so beautiful, a breathing, living waterfall, I tell you she is too good for me
Although she stayed by me, her arms interlocked around me, around me
I get goosebumps when I hear our song, it's what I wanted all along
She arrives to church dressed in purple, and I pray her beauty won't strike me down when I gaze upon her crown
It took some time, but she became mine and I'll never let her go

Our dance made the angels weep, sing of peace
She loves me, warms me like a winter fleece
Don't be so shy, and never wonder why, I'll show you
Believe me when I tell you love grows greater with age, think of this wine
It's sweet aroma fills your soul, lifts and shine, lifts and shine

Projected pictures fly by, on screen decades in a flash
So much time has pasted, but love never selfish, never in a mad dash
Love like us, us... such a beautiful honor to hold
Sitting on this wooden pew, in this old brick church,
Promise you will sing honestly, let love lead your search

Now my love, lets dance and make it last, relive the first time you had me in a trance
Let me tell you everything you mean to me, give you what you need oh bring you to me
