Lyrics: 
I am a teacup and you are the sea
I’ll never contain your fullness in me
One dip in your ocean and full I shall be
But striving for answers is petty, it seems

Oh Lord I need you

On top of a mountain I first saw your face
Washed by your water and dripping with grace
And when in the valley I cannot keep pace
I'll stand on your shoulders and stay in the race

So teach me the words to say for you
And walk with me all of my days
Firm in your promises I’ll stand

And I will be
I will be
I will be filled

Night after night I still stare at the sky
Wishing that wisdom may pour from your eye
But like to Elijah you whispered that night
Your love is a well that will never run dry


I'm still a teacup, I'm chipping and weak
Trying to trust you and striving to seek
But morning by morning new mercies I see
And cry out "My Lord is sufficient for me!";
(Jesus your love is sufficient for me)
-----

This song was born out of a resolve to just write something without regard for what other people thought; and thus, the first verse was born. I took an analogy I've used in the past to describe how I see God (and my relationship with/understanding of Him) and put it to music almost verbatim.

Then, I was stuck. I had put the whole of my thoughts on the subject into one verse and had nothing left to say.

So I took it to Stephan, a buddy and a brother and a killer of a songwriter and asked him if he had anything to contribute to it.
He came back with the rest of the song, and I realized in retrospect how much of my heart had yet to be unpacked by this simple analogy.

It's been said that books are best written in community. I now suspect the same of songs.

Teacup (demo)

It's hard for me to get my head wrapped around why I like this song so much. Maybe it has something to do with resonating with the reminder that, through the daily challenges and the longer-term, more serious ups-and-downs, He's there, and He'll meet us when we're willing. It's a reminder that He is worthy of our praise, and we belong at His feet in every circumstance. 

It's so cool to live in the reality that I serve a God who wants me to know Him intimately. If it takes a day of tears, a week of anxiety, or a chapter of suffering to get my attention, so be it. He's worth it.

Lyrics: 

Take this fainted heart
Take these tainted hands
Wash me in your love
Come like grace again

Even when my strength is lost
I'll praise you
Even when I have no song
I'll praise you
Even when it's hard to find the words
Louder then I'll sing your praise
I will only sing your praise

Take this mountain weight
Take these ocean tears
Hold me through the trial
Come like hope again

Even when the fight seems lost
I'll praise you
Even when it hurts like [mad]
I'll praise you
Even when it makes no sense to sing
Louder then I'll sing your praise

I will only sing your praise
I will only sing your praise
I will only sing your praise
I will only sing your praise

And my heart burns only for you
You are all you are all I want
And my soul waits only for you
And I will sing till the morning has come

Lord my heart burns only for you
You are all you are all I want
And my soul waits only for you
And I will sing till the miracle comes

I will only sing your praise
I will only sing your praise
I will only sing your praise

Even when the morning comes
I'll praise you
Even when the fight is won
I'll praise you
Even when my time on earth is done
Louder then I'll sing your praise
I will only sing your praise

Stand For Something
