(v1)
i see you in my dreams
you speak while i'm asleep
and i am unaware
of your hands wrapped around me
Ooh, ooh

(v2)
you catch my tears before i weep
you know my thoughts before i speak
though i'm hardly a man of you
you're still the God of me
ooh, oh
ooh, oh You are always good
You are always good

(ch)
and i rest in the hands
that stretched out the skies
and i am
held by the love that came down to die
and i am
here in your arms, they're always oped wide
i don't know why...
You are always good.

(v3)
you tore open the skies
it was finished when you died
and the blood bled from your hands
can wash the blood off mine
ooh, oh
ooh, oh You are always good
You are always good

(ch)
and i rest in the hands
that stretched out the skies
and i am
held by the love that came down to die
and i am
here in your arms, they're always oped wide
i don't know why...
You are always good.
(repeat)

hook:
you are always good
your love is always strong
you raise the dead to walk
you fill the mute with song
shelter for the poor
refuge for the weak
God of us in much
God of us in need
when the clouds let loose
when the oceans roar
i will be with you
embraced above the storm
though the nations rage
you are on your throne
and when the kingdoms fall
i'll be still and know... You are always good.

prodigal me

(V1)
brother forget what we said and regret
the time that we fell through the wall
brother regret that we don't talk
don't know each other at all

and i'll pull the knife from my side

i'll pull your lamb from the slaughter
and i'll add this to list of things
that i keep from your daughter

(Chorus)
with the streetlight kiss and the burn in her lips
and the things i don't say will stay that way
and i'll tell Father it's not His fault

the machine that i'm speaking to
will run out of tape soon
but with what little room i'll say
when you get to heaven be sure to call

(V2)
brother come home and we'll run down the road
past the gate and we will embrace
Father's ring on your finger, His robe on your back
and we'll celebrate
and i won't complain, nor hesitate to let you hold your child
with a smile her face, sorrows erase
we've missed you all the while

(Ch.)
with the streetlight kiss and the burn in her lips
and the things i don't say will stay that way
and i'll tell Father it's not His fault

the machine that i'm speaking to
will run out of tape soon
but with what little room i'll say
when you get to heaven be sure to call

(Ch. part two)
are we satellite hearts
are we just falling stars
i don't know where you are and i don't need
to give you my reasons just thought i'd call

so consider this Icarus,
visceral wishing that you would just come down
not every angel has to fall...
