The Sun Will Shine Again for Bryant & Courtney Cloud It was a cloudy day I was expecting a ray of light but the storm clouds came and changed my life It's almost September my heart is heavier than sand I feel like I'm sinking but you keep reaching out your hand Hold me in your arms tell me it's gonna get better It's been my darkest hour tell me it's gonna get better oh, I know that the sun will shine the sun will shine again Another sleepless night my eyes are filling up with tears the days were not enough and I'm wishing he was here I never imagined I would end up in this place broken and alone and I feel I've lost my way Hold me in your arms tell me it's gonna get better It's been my darkest hour tell me it's gonna get better oh, I know that the sun will shine the sun will shine again Rock a bye baby in the tree top when the wind blows the cradle will rock Rock a bye baby in the tree top when the wind blows forever you'll be loved Hold me in your arms tell me it's gonna get better It's been my darkest hour tell me it's gonna get better oh, I know that the sun will shine the sun will shine again

I Will Wait (Song of Moses) I am going to a place where milk and honey overflow I am going to a place that was promised forty years ago I didn't listen I didn't listen to what you said I've been going in circles going out of my head I will wait for you I will wait for you Days I feel I'm standing still weighted down with my own will I will wait for you I am tired of fighting all my fears all my doubts you said "I am who I am" and in a flame of fire you spoke it out There is a mountain There is a mountain I've got to climb I've been going in circles going out of my mind I will wait for you I will wait for you Days I feel I'm standing still weighted down with my own will I will wait for you Clouds will open, seas will part I find you there. I find you there. I find you there I will wait for you I will wait for you Days I feel I'm standing still weighted down with my own will I will wait for you

The Hiding 03:46
The Hiding Dark outside my eyes are wide calm before the storm I lick my wounds and someday soon I'll understand the why I'm here in the hiding the safest place that I see with you right beside me you right beside me under your wing Bitterness or innocence Something's left me cold But you just stare so unaware of the message that I hold I'm here in the hiding the safest place that I see with you right beside me you right beside me under your wing It's the safest place to hide away I'll take off my shoes and I'll stay awhile I'm here in the hiding the safest place that I see with you right beside me you right beside me under your wing

Why 03:37
Why I'm at war with myself I can't breathe, I can't sleep at night these voices inside my head keep telling me to break telling me to bend 'Cause nothing makes sense anymore I'm climbing the fence anymore trying to run away and hide the only question I have is why? It's a long way down and I'm standing on the edge won't you come take my hand show me a better place to live And nothing makes sense anymore I'm climbing the fence anymore trying to run away and hide the only question I have is why? Something's gotta give I feel like I'm being pulled form the left and the right It's like an amusement park and I'm on a ride I just can't get off And nothing makes sense anymore I'm climbing the fence anymore trying to run away and hide the only question I have is why?

Red Door 03:20
Red Door You keep pushing me down when I need you the most You've got me running for the door like I just saw a ghost when I'm feeling low, you made me feel lower What ever happened to the sound of for better or worse? ooh ooh, ooh ooh I want to scream out loud but I have to stay so quiet I want to cry but the tears don't want to seem to fall It's just so hard stuck right here in the middle I'll I see staring up at me is a Red Door I can't explain every word just to make you happy what happened to the girl that made you happy for the person she was Ooh ooh, ooh ooh I want to scream out loud but I have to stay so quiet I want to cry but the tears don't want to seem to fall It's just so hard stuck right here in the middle I'll I see staring up at me is a Red Door It hurts to breathe I'm slipping underneath this is not where I thought we would be I want to scream out loud but I have to stay so quiet I want to cry but the tears don't want to seem to fall It's just so hard stuck right here in the middle I'll I see staring up at me is a Red Door

Better Part of Us My lungs are heavy, I can't breathe rain is pouring down, pouring down Not yet ready, I can't speak Spinning 'round and 'round, 'round and 'round The better part of us, the better part of us something beautiful the better part of us, the better part of us something beautiful A moment changes everything while making other plans, other plans Much more than we could ever see Running hand and hand, hand and hand The better part of us, the better part of us something beautiful the better part of us, the better part of us something beautiful You're my favorite thing underneath my wing safe from the storm from the day you were born You'll always be…. the better part of us The better part of us, the better part of us something beautiful the better part of us, the better part of us something beautiful

Let Justice Rule Amos 5 Looking for the light in the dark dark places Looking at you now and counting all your faces Could it be you never really knew me at all? You left your sting, now take your things our God will be the judge Give me a clean heart oh God Let justice rule for us all Like a mighty flood, an ocean or a stream that never dries Let justice rule, let justice rule my life Following the sound of the rolling thunder Looking for you now to see what rock you’re under Alone again I find myself in tears I’m looking for an answer but I’ll never find it here Give me a clean heart oh God Let justice rule for us all Like a mighty flood, an ocean or a stream that never dries Let justice rule, let justice rule my life I find the answer in the quiet space, in the resting place Your loving arms reveal Give me a clean heart oh God Let justice rule for us all Like a mighty flood, an ocean or a stream that never dries Let justice rule, let justice rule my life

about

Don't wait for your ship to drift away; let God be your anchor and secure you no matter how deep the water is.”
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain.Hebrews 6:19
