On My Playlist

Now More Than Ever
Sung by Brandon Heath


Dig my hands into the earth
Sometimes I need You so bad, it hurts

I want You now more than ever
I've been living in a foreign land
Confession of a broken man
I want You now more than ever

The more I see, the more I want
The more I know, it doesn't stop
Your beauty speaks to call me home
Now more than ever

The more I feel that You are here
The more the world disappears
And all I want is to be home
Now more than ever

So tell me something that I haven't heard
I'll be hanging on every word
I want You now more than ever
How long must You make me wait?
Give me hope, give me strength
I want You now more than ever

The more I see, the more I want
The more I know, it doesn't stop
Your beauty speaks to call me home
Now more than ever

The more I feel that You are here
The more the world disappears
And all I want is to be home
Now more than ever


I will keep my eyes open
Keep my eyes open, face to the sky

I will keep my eyes open
Keep my eyes open for You


Speaking of Brandon Heath...they play this song on the radio a lot...maybe too much.  But I absolutely LOVE the words, so I just have to post it too.  :)

Give Me Your Eyes
Sung by Brandon Heath


Look down from a broken sky 
Traced out by the city lights 

My world from a mile high
Best seat in the house tonight

Touch down on the cold black top 
Hold on for the sudden stop
Breath in the familiar shock
Of confusion and chaos

All those people going somewhere 
Why have I never cared

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 you heart for the ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah 

Step out on a busy street 
See a girl and our eyes meet
Does her best to smile at me 
To hide what’s underneath

There's a man just to her right
Black suit and a bright red tie
Too ashamed to tell his wife
He's out of work, He's buying time

All those people going somewhere 
Why have I never cared

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 you heart for the ones forgotten
Give me your eyes so I can see
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah 


I’ve been here a million times 
A couple of million eyes
Just move and pass me by
I swear I never thought that I was wrong

I need a second glance
Give me a second chance
To see the way you’ve seen the people all along


That one is the prayer of my soul.
