The Holding Sunday Afternoon Mary Breath Uncovered Sorrow's Hymn Peacefully Silence Holding Dear Friends Jacob's Lullaby All songs by Sarah Masen except "Peacefully."   Words by Brett Ray.   Music by Sarah Masen. Sunday Afternoon Sunday afternoon Got some work to do But I can't keep my mind off of You I look at where I am I look at how I stand And I would be nowhere without You I fear I'm falling fast Cut by broken glass And I shattered myself inside my sorrows And I fly back to yesterday And all the time You've been holding me It's been a long, long way I'm reaching for that day When I will be with You forever, forever Sunday afternoon Got some work to do But I can't keep my mind off of You Mary Mary, I walk your story in my mind I slip into that day and dream away I see the secret in the smile you wear And the gift you hold inside When most had lost all hope for You held on It was a clever costume He wore It fooled them all Oh Mary Rock that baby close Oh Mary Lullabies That child there The Kingdom in His eyes Oh Mary What a surprise They want a king Royal strength Royal upbringing But what they had hoped for Was what they failed to see It was the dream that you held close girl The truth to you and me Oh Mary Rock that baby close Oh Mary Lullabies That child there The Kingdom in His eyes Oh Mary What a surprise I feel the wonder in your stare Of the Christ child laying there Oh Oh Mary Rock that baby close Oh Mary Lullabies That child there The Kingdom in His eyes Oh Mary What a surprise Oh Mary You rock that baby close That child there Oh Mary What a surprise Breath When I feel like crawling away From the pressures of this world I run to You When my spirit sinks From a beating to my soul You run to me, You run to me You're the breath that makes My heart beat The root beneath the tree You're my laughter in the moonlit sky And my hope for everything Take all that You've given to me And use it for Your plan I lay at Your feet What You've given me You're the breath that makes My heart beat The root beneath the tree You're my laughter in the moonlit sky And my hope for everything Feel every drum beat Twirl me around, around and around Your love is my heartbeat Stay with me, stay with me Stay with me, stay with me Uncovered I fall into my heart's fire And feel a chilling wind Full of emptiness I see my weakness stealing My hope to carry on This grief within me Lord cover, I'm naked with shame Put me back under Your flame I've fallen and I am to blame Burn this heart clean I've fallen again This time will be the last one I've said this a thousand years Lies to just help cope Then You come Carrying my shame And when I looked through my tears Uh I felt Your pain Lord cover, I'm naked with shame Put me back under Your flame I've fallen and I am to blame Burn this heart clean I've fallen Lord cover, I'm naked with shame Put me back under Your flame I've fallen and I am to blame Burn this heart clean I've fallen again Again, again, again Sorrow's Hymn And so my mind aches with sorrow's deep tones Breaking my soul inside It is the sadness that brings my head down Down on my knees But I know my Redeemer lives And that's where my heart finds rest In Him I find the hope to walk on Down that dark, narrow road I do not settle for pity's excuse In fact I assume I'm wrong Falling or flying my soul is confused As to which way destiny pulls But I know my Redeemer lives And that's where my heart finds rest In him I find my hope to walk on Down that dark narrow road Down that dark narrow road Peacefully La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (x4) There's a peace that I have found That goes beyond my understanding It fills that need so deep inside Fills me up to overflowing Prince of Peace work in me Couns'ling Wonder, set me free Mighty God King of Kings Father of Eternity Everything that I need Peace that flows from You to me Everything You are to me Fill me, fill me peacefully Prince of Peace, work in me Couns'ling Wonder, set me free Mighty God King of Kings Father of Eternity Father of Eternity La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (x4) There's a peace that I have found That goes beyond my understanding It fills that need so deep inside Fills me up to overflowing La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la (x8) Silence Your silence scares me Brings me to my knees And I see now how much I need You here Speechless or waiting for the perfect time to show me What my eyes, my eyes cannot see now And I'm crying more than trusting That You hold everything In Your strong hands, oh And in my heart I just can't understand The sour, silent times oh I wait for a plan We've danced around this tree before But every time we stop, oh The akward silence brings me to the floor My mind begins to wander from all that You've said And I begin to drown in my despair And about that time You pull me out and show me what was really there And the music starts again And I'm learning how to trust You I follow in Your shadow's dance Until I stop again, oh Cause in my heart I just can't understand Bizarre silent times oh, I wait for a plan We've danced around this tree before But everytime we stop, oh The awkard silence brings me to the floor And I'm learning how to trust You I follow in your shadow's dance Until I stop again, oh Cause in my heart I just can't understand Bizarre silent times oh, I wait for a plan We danced around this tree before But everytime we stop, oh The awkard silence brings me to the floor Holding You're holding my life in your hands Shaping me into Your plans You're twisting and turning My heart 'til it's yearning for more Your ways are consuming my thoughts 'Til the world that's around me is lost It's twisted and turning Around but I'm learning more I fight for a long time Then find myself crying for a shelter But You catch me with those arms Before I ever hit the ground I'm holding Your grace in my heart Nothing shall tear us apart No twisting or turning could cover this yearning Or burn this light into dark La, la, la, la, la (x9) Dear Friends Dear friends Sat down and written you a letter Straight from my heart In ways I've shared my life with you It's been the death of me But I think it's clear now You've gotta let go Of the doubt that brings you sorrow And reach out with your heart And hold on You'll be runnin' for tomorrow Until you fall into His arms Well you have So much to give for all your heartache I see it in your eyes And I cry Knowing you can have a cause for living no more just "getting by" But let go Of the doubt that brings you sorrow Hold tight to your heart And hold on You'll be running for tomorrow Until you fall into His arms Well, I've shared What's on His hands and on His feet now There's nothing left to say And you're close To waking up from this awful nightmare Just open your eyes And let go Of the doubt that brings you sorrow And reach out with your heart And hold on You'll be running for tomorrow Until you fall into His arms Jacob's Lullaby In the dark blue sky I can hear the sigh Called the nighttime lullaby It sings of the Creator's love And rocks my soul to peace My troubles are laid at Your feet You dry my lonely tears And wraps me in a gentle breeze So I can feel You near In the dark blue sky I can hear the sigh Called the nighttime lullaby It sings of the Creator's love And rocks my soul to peace
