A Messenger

Colton Dixon A Messenger Lyrics
1.Intro


2.Noise

Every day is a car alarm
That I don't know how to disarm
Where is the silence
That simple silence

Every day is a time bomb
Ticking louder till it goes off
Where is the silence
Where is it hiding

Cause everything is noise
Everything is screaming out
Everything is coming alive , all alive
Gettin' lost in the sound
I need to hear your voice
Reminding that at the end of the day
No matter what this time we'll be ok
Even through the noise

You're looking high and I'm looking low
It's the same any place I go
Where is the silence
Where is it hiding

Gonna come what it be
Things are getting kind of crazy
Where is the silence
Where is it hiding

Cause everything is noise
Everything is screaming out
Everything is coming alive , all alive
Gettin' lost in the sound
I need to hear your voice
Reminding that at the end of the day
No matter what this time we'll be ok
Even through the noise

Whisper my name , whisper my name
When it's getting too high
Whisper my name , whisper my name
Tell me that it's alright

Whisper my name , whisper my name
When it's getting too high
Whisper my name , whisper my name
Tell me that it's alright

Cause everything is noise
Everything is screaming out
Everything is coming alive , all alive
Gettin' lost in the sound
I need to hear your voice
Reminding that at the end of the day
No matter what this time we'll be ok
Even through the noise


3.I'll Be The Light

There's a place that you're safe
That I want you to see
I don't care if it hurts
Crash into me
Let tomorrow clear the smoke

There's a spark in your heart
That's all you need
Let me be your trail of gasoline
Don't let the fire get too low

When you're tired of faith
And searching for a sign

I'll be the light
When there's nothing but night
Till now you've had to feel your way
Through the honest lies of yesterday
I'll guide you in no matter how long you've been
Lost in love and all alone
A million miles away from home
And when your dawn refuses to fight
I'll be the light

Circle in like a plane
When you're ready to land
Runaway signals in my hands
Through the clouds of your denial

I remember the you
That you were then
I remember days that would never end
Can you remember how to smile

When you're out of faith
I'll give you some of mine

I'll be the light
When there's nothing but night
Till now you've had to feel your way
Through the honest lies of yesterday
I'll guide you in no matter how long you've been
Lost in love and all alone
A million miles away from home
And when your dawn refuses to fight
I'll be the light

You can count on me
Open your eyes
And you will see

I'll be the light
When there's nothing but night
Till now you've had to feel your way
I'll guide you in no matter how long you've been
Lost in love and all alone
A million miles away from home
And when your dawn refuses to fight
And when your dawn refuses to fight
I'll be the light
I'll be the light


4.You Are

When I can't find the words
To say how much it hurts
You are the healing in my heart
When all that I can see
Are broken memories
You are the light that's in the dark

You are the song
You are the song I'm singing
You are the air
You are the air I breathe in
You are the hope
You are the hope I'm needin'
Whoa
You are

And when my circumstance
Leaves me with empty hands
You're the provider of my needs
When all my dirtiness
Has left me helpless
You are the rain that washes me

You are the song
You are the song I'm singing
You are the air
You are the air I breathe in
You are the hope
You are the hope I'm needin'
Whoa

(Whoa)

You are the song
You are the song I'm singing
You are the air
You are the air I breathe in
You are the hope
You are the hope I'm needin'
Whoa

If I had no voice, if I had no tongue
I would dance for You like the rising sun
And when that day comes and I see Your face
I will shout Your endless, glorious praise
If I had no voice, if I had no tongue
I would dance for You like the rising sun
And when that day comes and I see Your face
I will shout Your endless, glorious praise

You are the song
You are the song I'm singing
You are the air
You are the air I breathe in
You are the hope
You are the hope I'm needin'
Whoa

(Whoa)

You are the song
(You are the song
You are the song I'm singing)
You are the air
(You are the air
You are the air I breathe in)
You are hope
(You are the hope
You are the hope I'm needin')
I'm singin' whoa


5.Never Gone

Lights off, a shot in the dark
We get lost when we're playing a part
We lay blame like we know what's best
It's a shame

We break when we fall too hard
Lose faith when we're torn apart
Don't say you're too far gone
It's a shame
It's a shame

I'm still standing here
No I didn't disappear
Now the lights are on
See I was never gone
I let go of your hand
To help you understand
With you all along
Oh, I was never gone

There's space between our lives
Hard to face, but I know we try
To revive, bring it back to life
Don't walk away
Don't walk away

I'm still standing here
No I didn't disappear
Now the lights are on
See I was never gone
I let go of your hand
To help you understand
With you all along
Oh, I was never gone

I never ever left you
Never ever left you, no.
He said I never ever left you
Never ever left you, no.
Jesus never ever left you
Never ever left you, no.
He sees us, even in the darkness
Now you know you're not alone.

I'm still standing here
No I didn't disappear
Now the lights are on
See I was never gone
I let go of your hand
To help you understand
With you all along
Oh, I was never gone

I'm still standing here
No I didn't disappear
Now the lights are on
See I was never gone
I let go of your hand
To help you understand
With you all along
Oh, I was never gone


6.Love Has Come For Me

I told myself that I can do better
Some day I'm gonna get it all together
Who am I foolin'
I am weak and prone to be
The me that I will always be
So what's left to do but surrender

This is where I am
This is where you start
And everything I needed
Is everything you are
Love has come for me
Love has come for me

I've never understood but it's amazing
The way you never let the past enslave me
How do you do it?
Love the heart the part of me
That despertaly needs a remedy
I wanna be a life you keep changing

This is where I am
This is where you start
And everything I needed
Is everything you are
Love has come for me
Love has come for me

And I'll go where you want me to be
And even though I may be broken
I can see your love has come for me

I'm never gonna get it all together
So what's left to do but surrender

This is where I am
This is where you start
And everything I needed
Is everything you are
Love has come for me
Love has come for me


7.Scars

Defeated ,wasted , broken, bruised
All because of my addictions
That left me crying and confused
It got right through my religion
My good intentions

Disregard it , overlooked
Sinking lower and lower
The shame He raised my name and took
My face and made it like the others
Would I recover

Today's another day
To learn from my mistakes
Knowing that we're not forsaken
And may give life to where we've been
When we've fallen start again
Scars remind us who we are

Self indulgent, death by cry
Forgetting all that I've been given
But still you never left my side
Brought back to life, you heal the broken
With arms wide open

Today's another day
To learn from my mistakes
Knowing that we're not forsaken
And may give life to where we've been
When we've fallen start again
Scars remind us who we are

I'm aching, I'm breaking
Lord answer, forgive me
Lord wake me and save me
Used me, abuse me
Take me and find me

Today's another day
To learn from my mistakes
Knowing that we're not forsaken
And may give life to where we've been
When we've fallen start again
Scars remind us who we are

Today's another day
To learn from my mistakes
Knowing that we're not forsaken
And may give life to where we've been
When we've fallen start again
Scars remind us who we are


8.Rise

What happened to your life
It's more than make-up staining your eyes
You wanna be in a better place
Say you don't wanna live this way
All alone

When your heart is cold
And when you feel you're letting go
You can rise above the world below
Rise tonight , tonight

So how they watch you bleed
Your fragile heart ripped as it seems
You gotta try and help me understand
But first you gotta help me let me in
No you're not alone

When your heart is cold
And when you feel you're letting go
You can rise above the world below
Rise tonight
You can rise tonight

There's a light a hope in your eyes
Like a star burning in the sky
There's a fire you can't hide tonight

There's a light a hope in your eyes
Like a star burning in the sky
There's a fire you can't hide tonight

When your heart is cold
And when you feel you're letting go
You can rise above the world below
You can rise above the world below
Rise tonight
You can rise tonight


9.Where My Heart Goes

Where does my heart go
When I have a choice to make
Who do I follow
When my character's at stake

Will I run
From you or into Your arms
Will I fight
To be right where You are
This life is pulling me
A million different ways

This is my song that I sing forever
You are my home You are what I treasure
I want You to be where my heart goes
And if it all breaks, if it goes to pieces
You are the one that I will believe in
I know you won't ever let me go
I want you to be where my heart goes

There's no denying
What this world will promise me
But I have decided
You are the only thing I need
So take everything, take everything
Take everything!

This is my song that I sing forever
You are my home You are what I treasure
I want You to be where my heart goes
And if it all breaks, if it goes to pieces
You are the one that I will believe in
I know you won't ever let me go
I want you to be where my heart

Runs to, cleans to Jesus
I so need you
I want You to be where my heart goes

This is my song that I sing forever
You are my home You are what I treasure
I want You to be where my heart goes
And if it all breaks, if it goes to pieces
You are the one that I will believe in
I know you won't ever let me go
I want you to be where my heart goes


10.This Is Who I Am

A million colors paint the world
But you don't see them , like I see them
A picture worth a thousand words
But you don't hear them , are you listening
I've been singing out, screaming loud
Shouting for so long!

This is who I am
It's where I stand
I won't apologize
This is why I'm free
Now I believe
I will not compromise
This is who I am

See your faces all around
I see you sinking I see you drowning
But I won't let you pull me down
As I'm reaching for deeper meaning
I've been searching for that something
But I knew it all along

This is who I am
It's where I stand
I won't apologize
This is why I'm free
Now I believe
I will not compromise
This is who I am

I'm a blind man given eyes to see
The captive who has been set free
The truth before me you believe

This is who I am
It's where I stand
I won't apologize
This is why I'm free
Now I believe
I will not compromise
This is who I am

This is who I am
It's where I stand
I won't apologize
This is why I'm free
Now I believe
I will not compromise
This is who I am


11.In And Out Of Time

Future is waiting, it's always pulling me
And present's worth saving but the past is hunting me

I wanna live out of time but I know it could run out
It could run out on me
I wanna love out of time , wanna turn it around
Before it comes down on me
If I don't wait and rewind it
Stop it tonight
I wanna live in a light but I know that I'm falling
I'm falling in and out of time

Don't you confuse me , you on everyday
Patience please hear me , come take me away

I wanna live out of time but I know it could run out
It could run out on me
I wanna love out of time , wanna turn it around
Before it comes down on me
If I don't wait and rewind it
Stop it tonight
I wanna live in a light but I know that I'm falling
I'm falling in and out of time

Time heals the fallen
I hear the calling
Clock strikes the hour
Don't run , don't get
Time heals the fallen
I hear the calling

I wanna live out of time but I know it could run out
It could run out on me
I wanna love out of time , wanna turn it around
Before it comes down on me
If I don't wait and rewind it
Stop it tonight
I wanna live in a light but I know that I'm falling
I'm falling in and out of time


12.Let Them See You

Take away the melodies
Take away the songs I sing
Take away all the light
And all the songs you let me write
As the man I am today
Say the words you need to say

Let them see You in me
Let them hear You when I speak
Let them feel You when I sing
Let them see You , let them see You in me

All my thoughts are gray
Another smile , another face
Another breath, a cradle sinned
Passing quickly through your head
I give my life for offering
Take it all, take everything

Let them see You in me
Let them hear You when I speak
Let them feel You when I sing
Let them see You , let them see You in me

With every breath I breathe
Sing a simple melody
But I pray they hear more than a song
In me, in me

Let them see You in me
Let them hear You when I speak
Let them feel You when I sing
Let them see You , let them see You in me

Let them see You in me
Let them hear You when I speak
Let them feel You when I sing
Let them see You , let them see You in me
