Down on my knees, down on my face
You just say, "It's OK"
So many days I've thrown away
But you just say, "It's OK"
I don't think I could ever repay
Your perfect Grace, but it's OK

It's OK
It's OK
It's OK
Yeah, it's OK
You've become my embrace
Just tell me that it's OK

Your precious words intoxicate
My heart that aches, it's OK
And You don't recall my past ( Read more... )

You better love lovin' and you better behave

Woman in chains
Woman in chains

Calls her man the great white hope
Says she's fine, she'll always cope
Woman in chains
Woman in chains

And I feel hopelessly weighed down by your eyes of steel

I'm babysitting my neighbors right now... The pizza guy just came and delivered pizza that Maddie's mom ordered.  I was all flustered at the door 'cause I wasn't expecting him... It was embarassing.  To smooth things over, I asked him, "What's it like being a pizza delivery guy?"  He said, in a friendly tone, "It's actually a lot of fun; you ride ( Read more... )

Love is worth forgiving for!
Now I realize
Everything worth living for

I wanna start it over
I wanna start again
I want a new beginning
One without an end
I feel it inside,
Calling out to me

It's a voice that whispers my name,
It's a kiss without any shame,
Something beautiful
Like a song that stirs in my head
Singing 'Love will take us where,
Something's beautiful'

I've heard it in the silence
Seen it on a face
I've felt it in a ( Read more... )
