Only Yours

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"

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"

Nothing But My Jesus
By: R.A. Cvetich


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"

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
