Synching up to the beating of my heart,
And I was positive that unless I got myself together,
I would watch me fall apart.
--------------------------------------------
When I got tired of running from you
I stopped right there to catch my breath
There your words they caught my ears
You said, “I miss you son. Come home”
And my sins, they watched me leave
And in my heart I so believed
The love you felt for me was mine
The love I’d wished for all this time
And when the doors were closed
I heard no I told so’s
I said the words I knew you knew
Oh God, Oh God I needed you
God all this time I needed you, I needed you
And I so hate consequences
And running from you is what my best defense is
I hate these consequences
Because I know that I let you down
Now I don't wanna deal with that
-----------------------------
I look under the tree
But there’s nothing to see
Cause it’s a broken heart that you’re giving me
I can’t figure you out
Is this what Christmas is all about
Cause it’s a broken heart that you’re giving me
-----------------------------
Jesus, I plead
Please purify me
Make my heart clean
Drench me with your mercy
Jesus, I pray
I love you, I need you
For the rest of my days
I swear I will seek you
To the best of my ability
I'm practicing humility
And I lay myself before
'Cause less is more.
--------------------------------
You cried wolf
The tears they soaked your fur
The blood dripped from your fangs
You said, "What have I done?"
You loved that lamb
With every sinful bone
And there you wept alone
Your heart was so contrite
You said, "Jesus, please forgive me of my crimes
Sanctify this withered heart of mine
Stay with me until my life is through
And on that day please take me home with you"

I love that line.
Thanks for sharing Ry Man!
Yes i love these songs. i don't know the last one actually. um. you told tara that you wished you guys had been childhood friends. i am offended because i said that to you once and you were like, "i don't think we would have been friends." ~Emily
yikes. looks like you gotta be careful with what you say, ryan. :) Relient K, good stuff. Amazing lyrics these boys have. I enjoy them like I enjoy cold milk on a big bowl of frosted shredded wheat after a long hunger-inducing day. Hoorah.
I love art and people that create/become it.
