CHAPTERS OF MY HEART
The heart has its ups and downs and turnarounds
Dead ends and new beginnings
The heart has its’ miracles, valleys and pinnacles
But every page is solid proof I’m living
If I could go back and rewrite it from the start
I wouldn’t erase any chapter of my heart
Love every chapter of my heart
My heart’s known each season, prison and freedom
Wind and rain without rhyme or reason
Winter, Summer, Fall or Spring, it learns through everything
And the changes make space for feeling
If I could go back and rewrite it from the start
I wouldn’t erase any chapter of my heart
Love every chapter of my heart
You're the author, but I hold the pen
And my story still surprises me every now and again
But as the chapters unwind
You always remind me
You'll never leave my side
I’m still in the middle, it can feel like a riddle
All these pages to go, so much I still don’t know
Even though every line doesn’t make perfect sense to me
It’s my story
If I could go back and rewrite it from the start
From the torn pages to my favorite parts
I wouldn’t erase any chapter of my heart
Love every chapter of my heart
Love every chapter of my heart
You live, you learn, you love from every chapter
You heal, you learn God’s enough from every chapter
That He’s real and He’s showing you His love
In every chapter of the heart
Love every chapter of my heart
CRUSH
It’s so hard not to crush on you
It’s so hard not to fall right through
I keep trying to build a wall of bricks
But you blow it down cuz it’s only made of sticks
I don’t wanna crush on you
I don’t wanna get crushed into
Pieces that might not come together again
I don’t wanna rush into
Something I haven’t thought through
But I’m so careful what if I never get to you
I’m so scared of being wrong
But I’m sick of singing this old song
But I don’t know how to let my defenses down
I like to keep my distance between me and the ground
CHORUS
What am I thinking
You’ve already stolen my heart
If I tell you how I’m feeling
Maybe this could be the start
CHORUS
THE MAN I THOUGHT YOU WERE
You’re pretty clever, getting me to fall so fast
I thought I’d never be so blind in love that I looked right past
What you said and who you are yeah yeah
What you said and who you are yeah yeah
Are two different things
Turns out that
I was in love with the man I thought you were
The man who promised he meant every single word
The man who looked me in the eye
And told me he’d never been so sure
And then took it all back in one day
Guess I really dodged a bullet
Cuz for a moment I was in love
With the man I thought you were
You said my dreams were more important to you than yours
You said being next to me felt like home
But what you said and what you did yeah yeah
What you said and what you did yeah yeah
Are two different things
Turns out that
CHORUS
And I count my blessings
Every single one
Cuz I almost thought you were everything
Everything you’re not
CHORUS
Anymore
Nicole Sheahan
You used to own every red car in the city
You used to own every time someone told me I’m pretty
You used to own more than your fair share
You used to own every country song on the radio
Every inch of this town, every back road
You used to own more than you deserve
But those things don’t belong to you
Anymore, anymore
No those things don’t make me think of you
Not like before, not like before
No you lost the hold you once had
I let it go, gave it to the past
And those things don’t belong to you
Anymore
You used to own every string attached to my broken heart
Every crevice and crack, every bruise, every scar
But time is healing everything that hurt
CHORUS
Every memory you used to be tied to
Faintly remember but I don’t dwell on you
Now I don’t change the station
And I still drive the backroads
And I’m free to live my life and let you go
CHORUS
You used to own every red car in the city
Get Back Up Again
Nicole Sheahan
You were just trying something new
Daring for the dreams important to you
Taking a risk on what you’ve always wanted to do
Then someone said something and your hopes were crushed
They told you you’ll never be good enough
But you will prove them wrong
Cuz You’ll get back up again
And you’ll try
You know God’s never never gonna leave your side
And you’ll get back up again
Even if you don’t know why
You know He’s never never gonna leave your side
Get back up again
In the back of your mind you’ve had this dream
You found him, thought he was everything
Closest to love you’ve been, then he broke your heart
A voice in your head said you won’t love again
Yeah love’s too rare, it always grows dim
But you will prove that wrong
CHORUS
Nevermind what they say
That you can’t do it, no
Yeah you know if you keep going
You’ll get through it, ohhh
CHORUS
WHY I BELIEVE
Nicole Sheahan
Thirty-three years was all He needed
To live on this earth
To change our lives forever
To show us our greater worth
And though He was hated by those who saw His hands heal
I know His perfect love reaches out still
He is why I believe
He is why I’m free
He is the one who can strengthen me when I am weak
He is why I have hope
He’s everything good I know
He’s why my sins can be as white as the snow
He is why
Three days was all He needed
And He rose from the dead
Our Savior who was mocked and spit upon
Took up His own bed
And He lives just as sure as you and I breathe
And He’s suffered for each one of us individually
He is why I believe
He is why I sing
He is the sun at noonday that gives light to everything
He is why I have hope
He’s everything good I know
He’s why my sins can be as white as the snow
He is why
I used to be so much different
My heart’s not always right where it should be
But I’ve felt the Savior’s power to change my soul inside
And I know there’s a way back because He died
