1.the kingdom
It tapped me on the shoulder
Today when I got home
I saw everything collecting dust
It made me hope there was something more
I pour over pages
Desperate to find out why
The cripple at your table
Has what I'm longing to find
Teach me how to hum it
Because I don't know the words yet
Help me see the light
I'm reaching through the fight
Yahweh, show me the Kingdom
Arms open wide
Death swallowed up by life
Yahweh, show me the Kingdom
Bethany Dillon-The Kingdom
Why are some women barren
While the wicked's house is full
The stories never seem to end
Give me evidence I'm not alone
You said the weak would be lifted up
But maybe just not yet
So while I wait in this flesh and blood
I'll learn to lean in
Help me see the light
I'm reaching through the fight
Yahweh, show me the Kingdom
Arms open wide
Death swallowed up by life
Yahweh, show me the Kingdom
Help me see the light
I'm reaching through the fight
Yahweh, show me the Kingdom
Arms open wide
Death swallowed up by life
Yahweh, show me the Kingdom
Help me see the light
I'm reaching through the fight
Yahweh, show me the Kingdom
Arms open wide
Death swallowed up by life
Yahweh, show me the Kingdom
2.come find me
Bethany Dillon-Come Find Me
Why would I ever worship wood or stone?
Things that cannot hear or speak at all
Why would I want something that I can control
When I can't even trust myself to fall
I was following a cloud of fire and smoke
But my heart was too weak to understand
So I built an image with my fear and with my gold
Now I'm reaching out for Your hand
Come find me
I'll be waiting
For You to rescue me
Come find me
I'll be waiting
For You to rescue me
Don't leave me when I feel like it's impossible
When I feel my inability bleed through
Rip the veil between what I see and what is real
Let this fire in my heart be the proof
Come find me
I'll be waiting
For You to rescue me
Come find me
I'll be waiting
For You to rescue me
My faith feels like a furnace of loneliness
My rescue is invisible for now
But I can't seem to shake this hope so dangerous
I will love and follow You, unseen God
Come find me
I'll be waiting
For You to rescue me
Come find me
I'll be waiting
Come find me
I'll be waiting
For You to rescue me
Come find me
I'll be waiting
For You to rescue me
3.waking up
I'm on a flight home this morning
And I can't help but stare at You
My face pressed against this little window
The sky explodes in praise to You
I know my words can't wrap their arms
Around You tight enough
But still I'll try in this simple song
To You, my Jesus
Because the more I fight it,
the more I love You
As my eyes widen,
I have to tell you
There's nothing like waking up
Waking up to You
There's nothing like waking up
Waking up to You
Waking up to You
I am small, but I have seen
The same sun rise over
India and Ohio fields
To strengthen the heart of this coward
So in every language
From every hurt
We echo affection
Back to You, Lord
There's nothing like waking up
Waking up to You
There's nothing like waking up
Waking up to You
I was dead,
so You became my life
I couldn't see it,
so You became my eyes
I was dead,
so You became my life
I couldn't see it,
so You became my eyes
There's nothing like...
There's nothing like waking up
Waking up to You
There's nothing like waking up
Waking up to You
There's nothing like waking up
Waking up to You
There's nothing like waking up
Waking up to You
Waking up to You
4.something there
Am I a hopeless case?
You keep saying the same things
But is it on my face
That it isn't sinking in
Like a homeless man
Tapping on a car window
I feel so disconnected
But so in need to hear this
Do You still see...
Something there
Bethany Dillon-Something There
I've never been
Good or brave enough
to ask the question
If I'm breathing in
Does that mean that You still want me?
That You still see...
Something there
There are lines on my hands
This sky makes my heart beat faster
I'm breathing out and breathing in
I know that You see
5.let your light shine
The Calmer of the sea
Here in this room with me
So gently welcoming
The weakest things in me
Your are the blood over
The door of my heart
What pain you spared me from
How could I know it all?
Oh, wonderful love
You died for me
The power of Your life is in me
Father, let your light shine down on me
No matter what the day or night may bring
Father, let your light shine down on me
Bethany Dillon-Let Your Light Shine
Oh Jesus, You became
What was my deepest shame
That at Your very name
My calloused heart would change
How could You, perfect One
Love me, when I have done
Nothing that's worthy of
My freedom you have won
Oh, wonderful love
You died for me
The power of Your life is in me
Father, let your light shine down on me
No matter what the day or night may bring
Father, let your light shine down on me
Open up the heavens
Pour down Your spirit
Hold me, God
Jesus, wherever You lead
I'll sing harmony
Hold me, God
Father, let your light shine down on me
No matter what the day or night may bring
Father, let your light shine down on me
Father, let your light shine down on me
No matter what the day or night may bring
Father, let your light shine down on me
6.change
Bethany Dillon-Change
My pockets are empty
Fear's such a thief
You know how that goes
I used to think
You couldn't love a mess like me
Then you came in close
As my heart settles
You do the impossible
You change me
Thank You, Jesus
I can see You change me
Like a bullet in a wound
It needs to be removed
But only by You
And though I feel so stuck
The hope in Your eyes is enough
You change me
Thank You, Jesus
I can see You change me
Now that I see Your face
I'll never be the same
You change me
Thank You, Jesus
I can see You change me
You change me
Thank You, Jesus
I can see You change me
7.top of the world
Bethany Dillon-Top Of The World
First felt the under-toe
just a few days ago
Like a rug pulled out
from under me
How do you lock eyes
with someone who is invisible?
The only thing I know
for sure is this peace
I'm staring into the sky
Running hard, I start to cry
I'm on top of the world
Seeing for the first time
How beautiful You are
Here on top of the world
Bethany Dillon-Top Of The World
I remember all the nights
I couldn't sleep
All the times
I looked over my shoulder
When you know
you're not the one
who's made you free
Love like an avalanche
knocks you over
Tears rolling down my face
I can't help but say that
I'm on top of the world
Seeing for the first time
How beautiful You are
Here on top of the world
Jesus, You are more
Than I was ready for
I'm on top of the world
Seeing for the first time
How beautiful You are
Here on top of the world
I'm on top of the world
Seeing for the first time
How beautiful You are
Here on top of the world
Bethany Dillon-Top Of The World
8.tell me
Bethany Dillon-Tell Me
Tell me of a time
when all this gray
wasn't such a fight
A road I'd stay on for so long
How long have I been this way?
I'm so addicted to feeling guilty
Like the edge of a cliff,
it's about to kill me
All the reasons why
You wouldn't want to love me
Could I be loved by You?
I've got so much to prove
So tell me when this night is over
And the curtain falls
That I will know the truth
When it's the only thing
that's standing tall
Still I know it's like pulling teeth
To try and convince me
That Your mercy can be bigger
than what I deserve
I guess I'm just afraid to go head first
Into such a wave,
drowning in wonder and peace
Knowing that it will never make sense
That I am loved by You
Really loved by You
So tell me when this night is over
And the curtain falls
That I will know the truth
When it's the only thing
that's standing tall
Unchangeable, unconquerable
Immovable, irremovable
Unwavering, untiring
Unflinching, stubborn love of God
So tell me when this night is over
And the curtain falls
That I will know the truth
When it's the only thing
that's standing tall
So tell me when this night is over
And the curtain falls
That I will know the truth
When it's the only thing
that's standing tall
Bethany Dillon-Tell Me
9.are you sure
Bethany Dillon-Are You Sure?
I've written you a lot of songs
The kind you write on rainy days
Unrequited love
But now I'm humming a different tune
Just twelve hours ago,
I was sitting on a bench with you
I've never heard something that sweet
But are you sure you want me?
I tried to say,
I want this to work
And yet take off the weight
If you change your mind,
I won't hurt forever
Because I don't know what else to do
But I'd do anything to have three more hours
on a bench with you
I've never heard something that sweet
But are you sure you want me?
Everything within me doesn't want to risk
Doesn't want to risk anymore
But if it means I get to see the light in your eyes
I'll risk so much more
I've never heard something that sweet
But are you sure you want me?
I won't be full
Of second guesses
So now I'll just sit and
Think about how sweet this is
Bethany Dillon-Are You Sure?
10.when you love someone
Bethany Dillon-When You Love Someone
This morning it was a fight to get up
Those words still ringing in my head
Never felt like such a fool in front of anyone
I guess that's what you do when you love someone
I was in Nashville,
you were driving home
I wish I'd been in the passenger seat
I just needed you to know I'm coming undone
That's what you do when you love someone
If I fall
I'll try a little harder to get back up
Please stay by me, love
That's what you do when you love someone
Just give me time,
if you need more
There's no way to ever really know
How to protect yourself
or predict the outcome
But you'll do anything
when you love someone
But you'll do anything
when you love someone
If I fall
I'll try a little harder to get back up
Please stay by me, love
That's what you do when you love someone
Bethany Dillon-When You Love Someone
I just hung up the phone
You've got a way of changing my day
You proved me wrong
When I was convinced I was alone
Yeah, that's what you do when you love someone
If I fall
I'll try a little harder to get back up
Please stay by me, love
That's what you do when you love someone
If I fall
I'll try a little harder to get back up
Please stay by me, love
That's what you do when you love someone
11.you could be the one
Could I talk to you
sometime this afternoon
About some things I know
I'm reading into
Because you and me
come at this differently
And I'm just trying to be
honest with you
Now that I've found you
In the most unexpected places
You were right in front of my face
You could be the one
That I could hold on to forever
Hold on to forever
You could be the one
Bethany Dillon-You Could Be The One
Yeah, I get it
Go change the subject
But I can't forget
how much this seems to fit
When you feel this way
Everything sounds so cliche
But I'll try to explain my side of this
Now that I've found you
In the most unexpected places
You were right in front of my face
You could be the one
That I could hold on to forever
Hold on to forever
You could be the one
Maybe you are the kind
that doesn't want to say it
I should just let you be
But maybe if I spoke up
that would be enough
To give my mind some peace
You could be the one
That I could hold on to forever
Hold on to forever
You could be the one
That I could hold on to forever
Hold on to forever
You could be the one
You could be the one
Bethany Dillon-You Could Be The One
12.beggar's heart
Bethany Dillon-Beggar's Heart
You changed my mind
You said something I had never heard
Something that is too high
It's left me limping and in wonder
Because all the things I know
Suddenly seem so small
When You build,
if feels like You tear me apart
When You heal,
it always leaves a scar
And even when You fill,
You leave me with a beggar's heart
Bethany Dillon-Beggar's Heart
Hands reaching through barred windows
Falling asleep on the sidewalk
You say You draw near to the low
Now I'm here, I know I'm not low enough
Because all the things I know
Suddenly seem so small
When You build,
if feels like You tear me apart
When You heal,
it always leaves a scar
And even when You fill,
You leave me with a beggar's heart
When You build,
if feels like You tear me apart
When You heal,
it always leaves a scar
And even when You fill,
You leave me with ...
And even when You fill,
You leave me with ...
And even when You fill,
You leave me with a beggar's heart
Bethany Dillon-Beggar's Heart
13.you are on our side
Bethany Dillon-You Are On Our Side
The orphan clings to Your hand
Singing the song of how he was found
The widow rejoices
For her oppressors are silenced now
You sit at the table
with the wounded and the poor
You laugh and share stories
with the thief and the whore
When You could just be silent
and leave us here to die
Still, You sent Your Son for us
You are on our side
Bethany Dillon-You Are On Our Side
The runaway falls at Your feet
You are what he has searched for
The rich man is broken
When he stands beneath a sky full of stars
You sit at the table
with the wounded and the poor
You laugh and share stories
with the thief and the whore
When You could just be silent
and leave us here to die
Still, You sent Your Son for us
You are on our side
Bethany Dillon-You Are On Our Side
You sit at the table
with the wounded and the poor
You laugh and share stories
with the thief and the whore
When You could just be silent
and leave us here to die
Still, You sent Your Son for us
You are on our side
Still, You sent Your Son for us
You are on our side
Bethany Dillon-You Are On Our Side
