All that I can say

David Crowder Band has this amazing song called "All that I can Say" I love this song, It really encompasses a lot that has been happening the past month. I feel like in this job and in this environment, everything you do is never enough. There is always more to prepare for, more to finish, more people to meet, more kids to hug, more high school students to have conversation with, more conflicts to difuse....it is neverending. I love this song because it starts out with exhaustion and desperation and moves into a realization that God is with us through every hard point.

It really does feel like "Lord I'm tired and alone" and sometimes it really feels like "that was you holding me the whole time" But the main part of the song that I love so much is that despite what is happening....I am offering everything I have. Even if it feels like it is never enough. Everyday I could say,

"And this is all that I can say right now, i know its not much.
But this is all that I can give, yeah thats my everything.
This is all that I can say right now [right now], i know its not much.
But this is all that I can give, yeah thats my everything."

So I give my everything. My heart, my passion, my time, my energy, my enthusiasm...and everything else. I know it isn't much. But it is enough for God to use and do beautiful things with.


So here are the lyrics:

Lord I'm tired
So tired from walking
And Lord I'm so alone
And Lord the dark
Is creeping in
Creeping up
To swallow me
I think I'll stop
Rest here a while

Chorus:
And this is all that I can say right now
And this is all that I can give
And this is all that I can say right now
And this is all that I can give, thats my everything

And didn't You see me cry'n?
And didn't You hear me call Your name?
Wasn't it You I gave my heart to?
I wish You'd remember
Where you sat it down

Chorus:
And this is all that I can say right now, i know its not much.
But this is all that I can give, yeah thats my everything.
This is all that I can say right now [right now], i know its not much.
But this is all that I can give, yeah thats my everything.

Bridge:
I didn't notice You were standing here
I didn't know that
That was You holding me
I didn't notice You were cry'n too
I didn't know that
That was You washing my feet

And this is all that I can say right now, oh i know its not much.
But this is all that I can give, yeah thats my everything.
This is all that I can say right now [right now], i know its not much.
But this is all that I can give, yeah thats my everything.
And this is all that I can say right now, oh i know its not much.
But this is all that I can give, yeah thats my everything.

yeah thats my everything [2x]

everything........
