If I knew it would end like this, would I take it back?
Would I stop the pain before it would attack?
Would I go back in time and right this wrong,
Knowing you wouldn't be here for long?

Should I have put down the phone, not say a thing,
Knowing what the future would bring.
Should I stop that risk knowing I soon would fall?
Knowing you didn't feel the same at all.

Would I take it back
Oh should I take it back...?

Every hug, every kiss, every word to me,
Was it everything I wanted it to be?
Every joke, every laugh, every cheesy rhyme,
Was it all just a waste of time?

Do I take it all back because they are no more?
Knowing all you need to do is just explore.
Do I take it all back to stop every tear?
Knowing that you would not be near.

Oh I wanna take it back...
But no I can't take it back...

Cuz every adventure, every story had it's meaning,
I can't tear them from my heart that's still beating.
Every chat, every fight had a lesson to learn,
I can't be who I am without each bruise and burn.

I can't take back the feeling of your embrace,
Even when tears are streaming down my face.
I can't take back the feeling of being alive,
Even though my heart was torn by a knife.

I lived, I loved, I learned, I lost,
The memories gained came with a cost.
But I can't take back what's now a part of me,
A part of who I am meant to be.

Everything I want to take back will make me stronger,
Even on the days I can't take the pain much longer.
One day I'll be fine and back on track,
Using everything so next time,
Yeah next time...
I won't wanna take it back.

Wandering through darkness, I can't see your face,
I'm broken and empty, seeking your grace.
Hoping to find you, my redeemer and Love,
You were sent here to save me by your father above.

As I look to the skies, you answer my call,
You're always with me no matter how far I fall.
So stat with me here, please stay with me now
I ask you to stay, on my knees I bow.

I'm so alone,
Lifting my eyes to your throne,
Oh Lord hear my beg and hear my plea,
Please stay, just stay with me.

Stay with me, stay by my side,
Heal my wounds, swallow my pride.
Stay with me, my path you'll lead,
Show me all you want, all I need.

Could it be

Star in the sky shining bright,
Giving hope to this silent night.
Bethlehem is all a glow,
Pointing the way for all to know.

Could this be the sign we need?
Could this answer our every plead?
Could this be the end to our wait?
Could this baby save our fate?

Tiny stable of dirt and hay,
How could this be the only way?
Manger holding a swaddling son,
How could this be the chosen one?

Could this be the Savior's birth?
Could this child save the Earth?
Could this be why the Angel sings?
Could this boy be the King of Kings?

The mother Mary so young and pure,
Such a glorious burden to endure.
Father Joseph brave and true,
Could this miracle make all things new?

Could this be the one who forgives my sins?
Could this be where my new life begins?
Could this be the holy one with no guilt or blame?
Could this be the cover for all my shame?

Two thousand years later we celebrate this day,
Gone are the mangers filled with hay.
Diamonds, toys, and presents galore,
Could this be what jesus is remembered for?

Could this be how we celebrate our saving grace?
Could this materialism cause such deface?
Could this be why God brought us his son?
Could we so soon forget about the Holy One?

Like the star shining above that silent night,
Today we need to be His lights so bright.
So much as been forgotten about this time of year,
We so easily forget the Savior who cast out all fear.

Could it be we can say Merry Christmas without hesitation?
Could we sing our praises loud without reservation?
Could it be we not hide our faith and our love?
Could we proclaim our Lord reigns on Earth and Above?
Merry Christmas to all, may your hearts fill with joy,
Always remember the gift of this boy.
Could it be we celebrate this year right?
Share the good news, break the silence in this night.

I hear the songs being sung in church
About mercy, grace, and love.
Something deep inside my heart
Tells me I'm not enough

As I look around at all the people
Hands high singing amazing grace
With eyes closed and hearts wide open
I want to be in their place...

God make something click inside of me,
My heart is a lock and you have the key,
Open me up to wonders new,
Set me free to live for you

At bible study my lips are pursed
Hiding the secrets inside,
My guilt is locked up in my heart
To save my image and pride

Oh I wish I could feel what it's like
To be so happy and pure.
The girls around me shine like stars,
Something is missing for sure.

So God make something click in side of me,
I'm praying to you, begging on my knees,
Unleash the demons inside my soul
Release me from every idol's control

For far too long I've been living my life,
Just living for myself,
But I come to you so broken inside,
Oh Lord, I need your help...

I need something in me to click,
I need a love that will forever stick,
I need your key to unlock the real me,
I need to feel what it's like to be totally free.

So when I'm in church I'm in the know
Of the very thing that makes people glow
Because my light will shine so bright,
And give hope to people lost in the night.

I will face my peers with eyes open wide,
My need for grace will swallow my pride
I will open my heart for all to love
My strength and love from God above.

I pray to God: make me new, make me clean,
Show me what this life could possibly mean.
I pray please fill my holes, make me whole,
Revive every weakness in my soul.

I pray clear my stage, shine the lights upon your glory,
Write my script, and guide me through my story.
I pray for the courage to put the pen in your hand,
To design my present fitting the future you planned.

I pray to practice thankfulness and to be more aware,
To seek your tiny treasures even when life isn't fair.
I pray for patience during this long waiting season,
So in every little thing I'll find meaning and reason.

I pray for the determination and control to stick to your path,
If I stray, I know you'll cleanse me in a grace-filled bath.
I pray for peace when things in life do not go as I hope,
You'll pick my heart up when my mind wants to mope.

I pray for the burning passion to strive for your perfection,
Having my eyes on you to point me in the right direction.
I pray for your comfort during rejection and pain,
Knowing your loss was our eternal gain.

I pray for the love I'll share with my family and friends,
For your amazing love has no boundaries nor ends.
I pray to share your friendship each and every day,
In time sharing your truths in your own special way.

I pray to be renewed and to be as clean as white snow,
So when seeking your love, through me people will know.
I pray thanksgiving for your mercy and grace so divine,
It fuels my fire to the world, letting my little light shine.

— The End —
