Lyrics to . . . For Your Consideration.

Come Sweet River

(Words By: A. Lucas and P. Webb)

(Music By: A. Lucas)

 

V: 1

Alone in an empty room

Just waiting for you to consume

I feel your presence when I speak your name

That’s when I fall down to my knees

Bridge

How often I take you for granted

Yet I long to see your face

Chorus

Come Sweet River

Wash over me

Take my hand

Set me free

V: 2

By myself but I’m not alone

You took my heart and you made it your home

Then suddenly there’s a change

And I’m not afraid to stand

 

 

 

 

Couldn’t You

(Words and Music by A. Lucas)

V: 2

Familiar Face, on a soul I’ve never seen

I’ve got the answer, but you won’t listen to me

I know you’re hurting; you’re on in through the pain

All would be better, if you’d let go of the chains

Chorus

Couldn’t you just let his nail pierced hands, Hold your heart

Couldn’t you just reach up and touch the hem, one more time

Couldn’t you just realize the time at hand, he’s on his way

Couldn’t you just take one step back to his love

Oh but you won’t receive

V: 2

Seems you’re wavering, between belief and dismay

But he said if you’re willing, he’d take all that away

I’d be your shoulder; I’d help you home

But I ain’t gonna hang around, and watch you go down

 

 

 

 

 

 

We Are There

(Words and Music By: A. Lucas

V: 1

On my way down, I found that I am not the only one

Who wanted to know you more and fell short

Not enough in serving you I find that I get strong

But I’m far from where I belong

Chorus

Though the struggle carries on

I know I’ve not got long

When you can come

And we are there with you

Our hearts are breaking

They are longing for when you can come

And we are there with you

V: 2

I, I get cold

And then I know

My spirit’s not bearing witness with you

And I find that,

There is no better place

Or better piece of mind, than there where I am with you

 

 

 

Won’t Stop

(Words and Music by: A. Lucas)

V: 1

Somewhere a baby’s crying, in her crib awake at night

Somewhere a baby’s dying, cause a mother didn’t have the time

Somewhere somebody’s working, while another’s in bed asleep

Somewhere someone is feasting, while another has nothing to eat

Bridge

Heavenly Father

It won’t stop turning

It won’t stop burning

Could you ease my worried head

Won’t stop breaking

Won’t stop taking

I can’t stop thinking

But I know you’re well aware

V: 2

Somewhere someone’s preparing, while another’s preoccupied

Somewhere someone’s sharing, while others are just passing by

Somewhere someone stands to reckon, while another runs of to hide

Somewhere a prayers just been answered, while another keeps it all inside

 

 

 

This Is Life To Me

(Words and Music by: A. Lucas)

V: 1

I don’t need to see another thing

To make me believe

I don’t need a handful of diamonds

To make me feel like a king

The proof is right here in front of me

With every breath that I breathe

Chorus

I don’t care what you think of how I’m living

Cause this is life to me

Ain’t confused ain’t gonna bury what I’m given

This is life to me

Gonna run to arms of love where I’m forgiven

This is life to me

I don’t care what you think of how I’m living

Cause this is life to me

V: 2

I ain’t talkin’ bout a ritual, that ain’t enough to save me

You’re telling me I’m brain washed, that ain’t enough to shake me

Time’s flying one day you’ll find, you were sadly mistaken

 

 

Moving On

(Words and Music by: A. Lucas)

V: 2

I will bow, I will sing

Won’t forget what you’ve done for me

I will rise, You will shine

You’re the author of my life

I will take, I will hold

Won’t let go what you’ve given to me

Chorus

Movin’ on by the words you’ve spoken

Lord, shine your light on me

My heart is nothing unless it’s broken

Lord, you are the air that I breathe

Movin’ on by the words you’ve spoken

Lord, shine your light on me

My heart is nothing unless it’s broken

Lord, finish that work in me

V: 2

I will give, all my praise

My mountains crumble when I speak your name

I will count, Count the cost

Can’t repay what you did on the cross

Waiting On The Son To Call

(Words and Music By: A. Lucas)

V: 1

I never knew a pain that strong

Till the day they told me you were gone

I never wanted to believe

That I had to spend my life without you

All the questions and the wondering

Wasn’t there something we could do

Chorus

But I know you’re there

Just waiting on the Son to call

Just beyond heavens gates

You’re telling us we ain’t got long

And as my soul longs for home

You make it easier to go

Cause I know you’re there

Just waiting on the Son to call

V: 2

Sometimes I look and I think I see you

But there’s no one standing there

My memories are never fading

And my heart won’t let you go

 

 

Seeking Overflow

(Words and Music By: A. Lucas)

V: 1

I’ve drawn the line; I’ve come to far to turn away

I’ve made up my mind, I gotta live it everyday

No turning back, no ignoring the price that was paid

Chorus

Take me to fire, and the desert

I’ll walk the wire; I’ll seek your presence

The distance here, is long since fading

I yearn to be the man you’re breaking

I’m seeking overflow, I’m seeking overflow

I stand in awe of you radiance

The veil is ripped, I’m persuaded

Wash me clean, shape me, make me

I’m seeking overflow, I’m seeking overflow

V: 2

No disguise, life’s no game to be played

I stand here change, by the on that has called my name

Bridge

Cause I know there’s more

 

 

Restore Me

(Words and Music By: A. Lucas)

V: 1

Oh would you stir me, make me new again

Oh would you touch me, make me feel again

Oh would you reach me, bring me close again

Bridge

Cause I have gone astray, picked up the broken chains

Restore me

Chorus

Bring back the fire, turn the flames up higher

Till only you remain

Come living water, come and drench this soldier

Till I am not the same

Restore me

V: 2

Oh would you move me, take me by the hand

Oh would you shake me, ruin all that I am

Oh would you break me, so only you can reign

 

 

 

 

 

For Your Consideration

(Words and Music By: A. Lucas)

V: 1

I lost my focus, I lost the truth

You’d never believe, what came into view

I lost my way, I forgot my place

I think I might have stepped out of grace

Then you touched me, you set me straight

All before it was too late

Chorus

And I live my life

For you consideration

Cause all that I have, is for you

Everything I am

Is for your consideration

Cause I’m not worthy

Of what you do

V: 2

I stood needy, I stood ashamed

Scared to admit, what I became

I was drowning, I was estranged

I’d run from the sound, of my own name

Then you broke me, down to my knees

By your blood, I am washed clean

Just Rather Praise The Lord

(Words and Music By: A. Lucas)

V: 1

How do I begin

Took one to the chin

Then another right between the eyes

A call to serve, No time to swerve

Gotta keep running toward the light

Chorus

I could look to the clouds and see the coming storm

Think of all the times my life went against the norm

I could cry a river while sittin’ on the shore

But I’d rather praise the Lord

I could hear the whistle blowin’ and choose to ignore

The very words of warning that I’ve heard before

I could let this pressure knock me to the floor

But I’d rather praise the Lord

V: 2

What a mystery

Never thought this’d hit me

But I’ve never been this far

And I’m not crying

My souls ignited

Gotta keep running towards the light
