Only Yours
by: R.A. Cvetich & Josh Schouten
I feel so far from where You are
And God this life is weighing on my heart
And I don't understand
So I'll lay it in Your hands
Oh God of creation help me see
That Your will is what's best for me
CHORUS
Lord take the pieces of this life
I give You all that once was mine
My knees to the floor
I want to be yours
Lord You are all that I desire
God set this broken heart on fire
Make me love You more and more
I want to be only Yours
Lord my mind is so distracted
Where do I go now?
I'm so ashamed I haven't acted
Lord won't you show me how
Oh Shepherd of mine take my hand
Lift my head and lead me onward to Your perfect plan
Repeat CHORUS
Bridge
So I'll run to You
With reckless abandon
With You as
My only companion
At the end of my life
You'll win this earthly war
And I'll stand by Your side
Only Yours
Repeat CHORUS

"No Hard Feelings"
No Hard Feelings
By: R. A. Cvetich
Pulled back and forth
And caught up in the games that you played
Planning my life around
All the promises you made
Walking your maze and hoping I don’t hit the sinking sand
Cuz there’s no guarantee that this time
You’ll be there to give me your hand
And one day I’ll sink
And you won’t even blink
CHORUS
Cuz I had my heart on my sleeve
While yours was buried beneath
All the hollow excuses
When really the truth is
You never let me see
And you were just walking the fence
While you left me in suspense
Was it really fair
To pretend that you cared
When you had all of me?
And now I’m free.
I never asked to be free.
You held my hand,
Held all my emotions and time
Held me in the balance
Refusing to make up your mind
You made a wound, healed it up
Then opened it again
Over and over til it turned to
Something you would not mend
And you wish me the best
As I clean up the mess
Repeat CHORUS
Bridge
I changed everything to make you happy
And you changed your mind about me
Don’t know who to be without you
And all this time you knew
That you’d leave unscathed
And I can’t be saved
No hard feelings, you say
And you walk away
Repeat CHORUS

"I've Got"
I’ve Got
By: R. A. Cvetich
I’ve got memories of you in my mind
That replay time after time after time
And I try
To leave it behind
But you’re still there
You’re still there
I’ve got a heart that’s still broken in two
That won’t mend, cuz all that can fix it is you
And I’ve tried
To meet other guys
But they don’t compare
No, they can’t compare
CHORUS
To all that we were and all that we had
But I watched you slip right out of my hands
Now I’ve got the sleepless nights and the regrets
The days when the pain’s so bad
I wish we’d never met
But I’ve got all the feelings that I used to
And she’s got you
I’ve got nights when I can’t fall asleep
Missing what I was never meant to keep
And I try
To believe that lie
But the truth attacks
It always attacks
I’ve got the promises you made to me
Useless now—just reminders of what used to be
And I try
To let my hopes die
That you’ll come back
That we can go back
Repeat CHORUS
Bridge
I’ve got the fake smile on my face
Watching as she takes my place
And I’ve got the phrase “Time heals all wounds”
To hide the 2 years I’ve been bleeding for you
Oh I’ve got all the love you never knew
And she’s got you
Repeat CHORUS

Maybe One Day
Maybe One Day
By: R. A. Cvetich
The girl with the piano scarf
And the flower in her hair
She thinks about him all the time
And wonders if he cares
She’s not sure she’s everything he needs
But she’s sure he’s everything she dreamed
And she prays
Maybe one day…
CHORUS
Maybe one day he’ll wake up and realize
The girl that’s right before his eyes
With her heart on her sleeve and
She fights to believe in
The love she’s only seen from far away
Oh she hopes he’ll be the one to show her what it’s like up close
Maybe one day
The girl who’s up late writing songs
Waiting on God’s plan
She prays he’s making out all right
And to be the one to hold his hand
She’s not sure he’ll catch her if she falls
But she’s sure it would be worth it all
And she prays
Maybe one day…
Repeat CHORUS
Bridge
She’s praying, hoping, holding tight
Waiting til the time is right
To let him know
She’s ready to let go
And see true love up close
That’s all she wants to say
Maybe one day…
Repeat CHORUS

"All I Am Is Yours"
By: R. A. Cvetich
I can’t wait to run into Your arms,
To hold the hand that bears the scar-
The proof of endless love,
When I’m with my Savior above.
My heart skips a beat when I think about Your face,
And all the love I’ll feel within our first embrace,
When death’s become my greatest memory,
Cuz it’s the road I had to take to be,
With the One who’s known my heart since the beginning of time.
Oh, I am Yours and You are mine.
CHORUS
With the same hand that holds the stars in place,
You hold my heart, You hold my heart.
With the same love that moves mountains, You’ve loved my soul,
From the very start, from the very start.
And I can’t hold back any more;
All I am is Yours.
I can’t wait to fall before Your throne,
To cry out to my Jesus that You alone,
Have satisfied my soul,
That only You have made me whole.
All the pain of this life, all my demise,
Will have been worth it when I look into Your eyes,
Cuz I’ll see that on every broken path I’ve known,
I never walked one single step alone.
This prodigal child will recall the world I knew,
And see it pales in comparison to what I’ve found in You
CHORUS
With the same hand that holds the stars in place,
You hold my heart, You hold my heart.
With the same love that moves mountains, You’ve loved my soul,
From the very start, from the very start.
And I can’t hold back any more;
All I am is Yours.
Bridge
My relentless Pursuer
One day it will be true
You won't have to chase anymore
Cuz I'll be running home to You
CHORUS
With the same hand that holds the stars in place,
You hold my heart, You hold my heart.
With the same love that moves mountains, You’ve loved my soul,
From the very start, from the very start.
And I can’t hold back any more;
All I am is Yours.

"Nothing But My Jesus"
Oh I put my hope in everything
Everything but You
I ripped my heart right out of Your hands
To find anyone else to give it to
But everything else fell apart
And shattered pieces took the place of my heart
And the only One who keeps His promise of forever
Took those shards and put them back together
Now I’m left with…
CHORUS
Nothing to fall back on but the arms of my Father
Nothing to hold on to but His hand
When my hopes all turn to failures and my joy melts into tears
My God still uses me in His perfect plan
Nothing to fix my eyes on but the face of my Savior
Nothing real but the love He gives
There is nothing in this world for me
Only the One that gave me a reason to live
And that’s all I’ll ever need.
There is nothing left for me…
Nothing but my Jesus.
I ran away to everywhere
Everywhere but Your arms
Throwing away the very heart
You purchased with Your scars
But life as I knew it disappeared
All the plans that I had made ended up in tears
And when I never thought I’d make it through the night
You wrapped me in Your love and held me tight
Now I’m left with…
CHORUS
Nothing to fall back on but the arms of my Father
Nothing to hold on to but His hand
When my hopes all turn to failures and my joy melts into tears
My God still uses me in His perfect plan
Nothing to fix my eyes on but the face of my Savior
Nothing real but the love He gives
There is nothing in this world for me
Only the One that gave me a reason to live
And that’s all I’ll ever need.
There is nothing left for me…
Nothing but my Jesus.

"You Had Me At Hello"
By: R.A. Cvetich
I’m supposed to hate you by now,
Should’ve torn all those pictures down.
I should be telling my friends that I deserve better,
Should’ve deleted the voicemails, burned all the letters.
I’m supposed to thank God that you’re gone,
Should have found someone new and already moved on.
After all, you swore you’d never come back.
You kept on going and I’m stuck in your tracks.
CHORUS
It’s not supposed to go this way,
You break my heart and I still want you to stay.
I lifted you up and you let me down,
And I’d still give anything to have you around.
Lies from you were all I heard,
But I’d still believe your every word.
You're the source of every tear I cry.
But you had me at hello,
And you still have me at goodbye.
I should be done crying myself to sleep,
Should've told all your secrets I promised to keep.
I’m supposed to not even care,
Should have forgotten every moment we shared.
I should be telling everyone I know,
How stupid you are for letting me go.
But what killed my soul brought you sweet release.
You broke my heart and still own every piece.
Repeat CHORUS
Bridge
Now someone else has said hello,
But still every night I cry.
Only God knows why,
You’ll have me til the day I die.
Repeat CHORUS
