Make My Life A Symphony

Sometimes it’s hard to breathe
All these thoughts are shouting at me
Trying to bring me to my knees
And it’s overwhelming

Darkness echoes all around
Feels like everything is crashing down
Still I know when my hope is found
It’s only in You

You say You’re working everything for my good
I believe every word
‘Cause even in the madness, there is peace
Drowning out the voices all around me
Through all of this chaos
You were writing a symphony

I wanna truly know if You compose beautiful music
From all my unruly notes
The distance is dissonance so move in close


Now I can see for you erased the scales from my eyes
Then played the scale in my life
Chaos played off with a chord in accord
With the source prevailing through strife

I’ve tasted suffering
I’ve been embraced by the painful buffering
I’ve been bound by doubts, so loud right now
But a melody is made when you play these rusty keys

So we all gotta get pressed
Tuned up like instruments
I know life’s tempo is set
Whenever we remember this …

That even in the madness, there is peace
Drowning out the voices all around me
Through all of this chaos
You were writing a symphony

Make my life a symphony.

Symphony

Sometimes it’s hard to breathe
All these thoughts are shouting at me
Trying to bring me to my knees
And it’s overwhelming
Darkness echoes all around
Feels like everything is crashing down
Still I know where my hope is found
It’s in You.

You say You’re working everything for my good and I believe every word

‘Cause even in the madness, there is peace
Drowning out the voices all around me
Through all of this chaos
You are writing a symphony

Tune my heart to Your beat
Let me be Your melody
Even when I cannot see.
You orchestrate it
Even when the darkness surrounds
You’ll never let me drown
I know that my hope is found
In the name of Jesus.

And even in the madness, there is peace
Drowning out the voices all around me
Through all of this chaos
You are writing a symphony.

I want to truly know if You compose beautiful music though
From all my unruly notes.
The distance is dissonance.  

You erased the scales from my eyes
Then played the scale of my life
Chaos played out with chords in accord
With the source prevailing through strife.

I’ve tasted suffering
I’ve been embraced by the painful buffering
I’ve been bound by doubts, so loud right now
But a melody is made when you play these rusty keys.
So we all gotta get pressed
And tuned up like instruments
I know life’s tempo is set
So I must remember this …

That even in the madness, there is peace Drowning out the voices all around me Through all of this chaos you are writing a symphony

A symphony.

Don’t Give Up Too Soon

The night is not so scary
When you know how to fly
But when your wings are broken
You start yearning for the light

Please keep waiting for the morning
Don’t give up too soon

When you’re left out in the open
You feel every drop of rain
From every storm that passes
Every hour of the day

Keep waiting for the morning
Don’t give up too soon

When it feels like you’ve fallen
To the bottom of a well
Oh, there is nothing braver
Than calling out for help

Please keep waiting
Hope is coming
Don’t give up to soon
