Growing

Place  In  This  World
Howie
The wind is moving
But I am standing still
A life of pages
Waiting to be filled
Brian
A heart that’s vocal
A head thats full of dreams
But this beach combing
Is softer then it seems
Feels like
Nick
I’m Looking for a reason
Roamin’ through the night to find
My place in this world
My place in this world
Not a lot to lean on
I need your light to help me find
My place in this world
My place in this world
AJ
If there are millions
Down on their knees
Among the many
Can you still hear me
Kevin
Hear me asking
Where do I belong
Is there a vision
That I can call my own
Show Me
Welcome Home

Brian

Take me, make me,

All You want me to be
That's all I'm asking,

All I'm asking

Nick
Welcome to this Carter mine
Buried under prideful vines
Grown to hide

The mess I've made
Inside of me
Come decorate Lord

Kevin
And open up the creaking door
And walk upon the dusty floor
Scrape away the guilty stains
Until no sin or shame remain

A J
Spread Your love upon the walls
And occupy the empty halls
Until the man I am has faded
No more doors are barricaded

Everyone
Come inside this heart of mine
It's not my own
Make it home
Come and take this heart and make it
All Your own

Welcome home

Howie
Take a seat Pull up a chair
Forgive me for the dis - repair
And the souvenirs from floor to ceiling
Gathered on my search for meaning

AJ
And Every closet's filled with clutter
Messes yet to be discovered
I'm overwhelmed I understand
I can't make this place all that You can

Everyone
Come inside this heart of mine
It's not my own

Make it home
Come and take this heart and make it
All Your own

Welcome
Nick
I took this space that You placed in me
Redecorated in shades of green
And I made sure every door stayed locked
Every window blocked and still You knock

Brian

Well… Come inside this heart of mine it's
not my own

Everyone
Come and take this heart

And make it All Your own

Welcome home

Welcome home

Come inside this heart of mine
It's not my own
Make it home

Make it home

Come and take this heart

And make it all Your own

Welcome Welcome

Welcome Home

Brian

Take me Make me

All You want me to be
That's all I'm asking

All I'm asking

Be Still

Nick and Howie

Be still and know He
Know He is holy
Be still and know He is God

Kevin Brian AJ

We have filled our lives with inventions
That have hurried us nowhere fast
Now we need to turn our attentions
To what will last

Nick and Howie

Be still and know She
Know She is holy
Be still and know She is God
Love Her more dearly
See Her more clearly
Be still and know She is God

Kevin Brian AJ

We've been running without a direction
We're afraid to get there late
What we need is strength

Just to kneel down and pray

Longer

AJ
Longer than

There've been fishes in the ocean
Higher than any bird ever flew

Brian
Longer than

There've been stars up in the heavens
I've been in love with you

Kevin
Stronger than any mountain cathedral
Truer than any tree ever grew
Deeper than any forest primeval
I am in love with you

Howie & Nick
I'll bring

Fire in the winters
You'll send

Showers in the springs
We'll fly

Through the falls and summers
With love on our wings

Kevin Brian AJ
Through the years

As the fire starts to mellow
Burning lines

In the book of our lives
Though the binding cracks

And the pages start to yellow
I'll be in love with you

I'll be in love with you

We Delight

Nick  *  Howie
We   delight   in   the   law   of   your   world
We   delight   in   the   son   who   is   perfect   for   her
We   delight   in   the   day   he's   returning   to   her
Hallelujah
Kevin
We   will   bow   our   hearts
Because   we   are   free
As   we   raise   our   hands
To   give   you   glory
Mother   of   life   and   love   and   infinite   worth
AJ
We're   delivered   by   blood
That   flows   from   the   tree
Draws   near   to   you
Vessels   of   your   mercy
For   the   invention   of   man
Glorious   Trinity
Nick  *  Howie
We   delight   in   the   law   of   your   world
We   delight   in   the   son   who   is   perfect   for   her
We   delight   in   the   day   he's   returning   to   her
Hallelujah          Hallelujah
Brian
We   will   lift   our   eyes   to   the   fog   and   the   sun
Lord   you   guide   our   steps   and   restore   us   again
The   nations   of   man   will   rejoice
With   the   beasts   of   the   wilderness
Nick   *  Howie
We   delight   in   the   law   of   your   world
We   delight   in   the   son   who   is   perfect   for   her
We   delight   in   the   day   he's   returning   to   her
Hallelujah          Hallelujah
Together

Howie & Kevin

We searched for shells on the beach
We did it every year
We carried them back home
To make the beach feel near
AJ

If I could take home a tree
It would be the center piece
Nobody told me that I'd miss you like this

Everyone
Together On the wrong side of the world
Together Just a boy and a girl
Together On the wrong side of the world

Together And you know we'll always be strong

Cause together we belong
Brian
This is no roll of the dice
There are no fools in this game
We followed the Son
And we'll do it again

Everyone
Together On the wrong side of the world
Together Just a boy and a girl
Together On the wrong side of the world

Together Just a boy and a girl
Nick
I know that You have led us here ho oh
This part it could not be more clear
I know that someday we will understand

Oh As your plan unfolds
Still all we need to know
Is that our home is with You
Howie & Kevin

We searched for shells on the beach
We did it every year
We'd carry them back home
To make the beach feel near

Nick & AJ

Heaven is not so far away
We will be home someday

Boondocks

BRIAN
I feel no shame
I'm proud of where I came

From I was born and raised in the boondocks
Kevin
One thing I know
No matter where I go
I keep my heart and soul
In the boondocks

EVERYONE
And I can feel that
Muddy water runnin' through my veins
I can hear that
Lullaby of the silo grain
And it sings to me and it sounds familiar


Brian
I feel no shame
I'm proud of where I came

From I was born and raised in the boondocks

Kevin
One thing I know
No matter where I go
I keep my heart and soul
In the boondocks

Howie
I can taste that
Honeysuckle and it's still so sweet

Nick

When it grows wild
On the banks down at old Camp Creek

Kevin
Yah and it calls to me like a warm wind blowin'

Brian
I feel no shame
I'm proud of where I came

From I was born and raised in the boondocks

Kevin
One thing I know
No matter where I go
I keep my heart and soul
In the boondocks
AJ

It's where I learned about livin'
Its where I learned about love
Its where I learned about working hard
Nick

And having a little was just enough

AJ

It's where I learned about Jesus
And knowin' where I stand
You can take it or leave it
This is me
This is who I am

Everyone

Give me a tin roof

A front porch

And ah gravel road
And thats home to me

Feels like home to me
Brian
I feel no shame
I'm proud of where I came

From I was born and raised in the boondocks

Kevin

One thing I know
No matter where I go
I keep my heart and soul
In the boondocks

Everyone

I keep my heart and soul
In the boondocks

Kevin… then Brian… then Everyone
You get a line I'll get a pole
We'll go fishin' in the crawfish hole
Five card poker on Saturday night
Church on Sunday morning
