I will be here!

If you need to, Scream
if you want to, lean
on my shoulder
cry while I hold you

I'm here
for now
maybe not forever
I'll show you how
to cry to laugh
to throw life around
how to forget
what gets you down

If you need to, scream
to the wind
If you're lonely lean
and I'll bend
towards you
take your hand
and hold you

Life's full of so much
trial and error
it's hard whenever
on the wrong side of failure

You taught me to scream
now I'm telling you to
I'll be here so just lean
on my shoulder

It'll all be over
before you know it soon
so just go on, go on, go on
and scream to the full moon
let all the feelings go
you'll survive
don't let the anger
make your spirit die

If you need to, scream
If you want to, lean
on my shoulder
cry, while I hold you

It’s beautiful to me

It’s beautiful to watch the sun sink in the west
It’s beautiful to see the morning sky alight overhead
It’s wonderful to know Christ always gives rest
It’s wonderful to know you created the paths I tread

When Your art is uncovered
Creation’s awesome curtain of majesty
When Your flag is unfurled
Clouds, sun, stars, moon, your tapestry

It’s beautiful to watch the waterfall splash into the sea
It’s beautiful to see the waves crashing down on the beach
It’s wonderful to know that by me you will always be
It’s wonderful to know that you are always within prayer’s reach

When Your grace I discovered
I knew there was no better place to be
When You my life recovered
I found forgiveness, love for even me

It’s beautiful to watch the eagle soar in the breeze
It’s beautiful to see the cardinal’s coat of red in winter’s hold
It’s wonderful to know that the chains are released
It’s wonderful to know life grows more precious as it unfolds

When Your creation it surrounds
Life moves and fills the universe’s expanse
When Your creation shouts it drowns
All my worldly cares and with creation I dance

It’s beautiful to watch the otter immersed in play
It’s beautiful to see the beaver industriously building
It’s wonderful to know there is a time to go and stay
It’s wonderful to know that I never need to be pretending

When Your brush strokes make
New wonders every second of every single day
When life’s treasure You give and take
I am speechless. I’m overwhelmed and amazed

It’s beautiful to watch the dolphin splash and leap in the waters
It’s beautiful to see the leaves brilliant hues as the season’s pass
It’s wonderful to know that your love forever and always endures
It’s wonderful to know that your love for man’s souls will always last

When Your grandeur in the end of all time is revealed
Every knee will bow every tongue proclaim "YOU ARE LORD"
When the trumpet sounds and the church You in Heaven seal
In perfection we’ll live and sing forevermore "YOU ARE LORD"
