Light of Mercy
c.2009 David Ashley
Oh late
I finally arrived
This time
I won't bait a sacrifice
Alone here where patience began
Oh hate
Came to me in the dark
I can't forget the light it put out
Inside bring it back again
Oh it's a lonely rugged road
Desparate at times I feel disowned
Then I look up to see Your light of mercy over me
Oh weight
Question all that I am
Turn tight feel the doubt from within
Slip down on the bottom again
Oh fate
Don't make it sound like a crime
When I try to make it right
Turn down all that makes me dead

I Dream
c.2009 David Ashley
I saw life in a cloud in the sky
Captured me, then it all blew by
In a moment then I missed what I could have been
And now it seems that I've looked up there
More than once, I've stopped and stared
Waiting for that moment when I know that I could have been
And I dream
I dream 'cause today I believe
Years go by and I've run the race
One of hope in a young man's face
And I wonder now how long I can carry on
Well, bring me faith, give me arms to reach
'round my doubt to amazing grace
'til I'm no more wondering how long I need to carry on

Fade Away
c.2009 David Ashley
Take me now
Away from all that brings me down
Erase the way
So I can trace my way back home
Fade away all of the emptiness and fear
Bring me to your grace and mercy
Draw me near
God of love
Fade Away
Let me fly
Into the space where I can see
Bring me down
So I can stand where I should be

Rain Comes Down
c.2009 David Ashley
There she sat
Waiting for words to come for a miracle cure
Her world in slow motion
Everything stalled
Except for the raging thoughts trapped in her mind
Oh the rain comes down
Til the clouds clear away
There's no one to help you now
In a world that doesn't say
It'll be OK
I find I'm waiting for a savior to come
Take me away
Lord what have I done?
When right outside she's suffering
There's something you've given me I can bring
And there she sat
Teary eyed still
Waiting for mercy and praying to find it
The door swings open
Her heart sinks low
The time has come now she needs to know
Ok for tomorrow
Ok for the day
OK for when the rain stops

Live In Me
c. 2009 David Ashley
Should I say everything that I need
Should I take everything to my knees
Should I try to make sense of this all
I'm tired of falling
I need Your love constantly
I need Your ear when I speak
I need Your voice when I read
Your word
Live in me
Live in me
Take me down lift me up
And wash me clean
Live in me
Live in me
Holy Spirit of God
Take everything
Live in me
What do I take when I go
What do I do when I know
What do I see with open eyes
I want to feel it
How can I rest until I'm home
How can I make it to your thrown
How can I serve You faithfully
I want to be

Old Shoes
c.2009 David Ashley
Old dusty shoes
Warn out leather
Still stands the weather
Old tattered soul
Took the weight of this lonely road
Ah but it feels like home to me
Walking on to my destiny
Old tattered soul bound to be free
Don't want no more than what's meant to be
Old laces show
Places where they've been
Pulled before
And I'm careful to tie
Without breaking the weak
Protecting the lie
Ah but it feels like home to me
Making it to my destiny
Old worn string still holding on
Don't pull no more 'til I'm gone
And now I know
What youth could not
What time reveals
We must go through
The scars we make
The fate we seal
Ah but it feels like home to me
Looking into my destiny
With these old shoes still on my feet
Waring old shoes faithfully
