Lyrics (by Teagan)

So you probably listen to alot of songs, and know all the words, and sing them whenever you hear the song. But how many times do you really pay attention to what the song is saying, or actually mean what you are singing. I've spend some time finding lyrics to some of the songs I love, and I've really listened and thought about what the songs are saying. I highly recommend these songs, and I hope the lyrics really make you think.


Give me Your eyes for just one second
Give me Your eyes so I can see,
everything that I keep missing
Give me Your love for humanity
Give me Your arms for the broken hearted,
the ones that are far beyond my reach
Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten
Give me Your eyes so I can see

~Give Me Your Eyes~ by Brandon Heath


Why you try to be like the rest of them
When you know there's so much more within
There's only one you

~Headphones~ by Britt Nicole


I look back to the cross
Back to the One
To the love that held Him there for us
Back to the place, I was set free
Where His arms are wide enough for me
Everything I want
For all I'll ever need
I look back to cross

~Back to the Cross~ by Our Heart's Hero


I could play the background.
I could play the background.
'Cause I know sometimes I get in the way.
So won't You take lead, lead, lead.
So won't You take lead, lead, lead.
And I can play the background, background
and You can take lead.

~Background~ by Lecrae


It's time for healing,
time to move on
It's time to fix what's been broken too long
Time to make right,
what has been wrong
It's time to find my way to where I belong

Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos,
but somehow there's peace
And it's hard to surrender to what I can't see
But I'm giving in, to something heavenly

~Something Heavenly~ by Sanctus Real


I have not much to offer You
Not near what you deserve
But still I come because Your cross
Has placed in me my worth

I can't explain this kind of love
I'm humble and amazed,
That You'd come down from heaven's heights
And greet me face to face

~Unashamed~ Starfield
