Beautiful One: The Best of By the Tree

I drank from this cup
'Till it watered down my soul
I need you so I'll thirst no more

I started down this path such a long long time ago
I need to find my way home

I want to be the one that holds you high
I want to be the one that brings you praise

I'm the king of my desires
I've tried them all a thousand times
I have got to choose between this world and you

It's got a grip I must admit
I can't explain this emptiness
I hurt without you by my side

I've cried to you in my darkest hour
And you brought my soul up from the grave

Wait, waiting for a sign
Crying to the sky
For love to come around
So hope won't let me down

Shadows carry on
The light is all but gone
Your promise calls to me
A love so rescuing

There is a hope beyond this night
There is a Savior in the sky
Giving His life to set this world on fire

Here before the flames begin
May passion burn within
Our anthem as we wait
For love to save the day

There is a hope beyond this night
There is a Savior in the sky
Giving His life to set this world on fire

So as the darkness closes in
Know that the sun will shine again
Bringing salvation to a world on fire

As our King, You will bring Your truth
To guide and keep us
All of hell could not prevail against Your love

May Your light
(Waiting for a sign)
Take my life
(Crying to the sky)

Set my heart
(For love to come around)
On fire
(So hope won't let me down)

There is a hope beyond this night
There is a Savior in the sky
Giving His life to set this world on fire

So as the darkness closes in
Know that the sun will shine again
Bringing salvation to a world on fire

World on fire, world on fire
World on fire, world on fire

Taken time, to realize
I was wrong, you were never gone
When you fell, you fell on me

Can I be close to you
Can I just touch you Lord

You reveal yourself to me
You reveal yourself to me

I in you, you my King
This gift of melody I bring
Forever true, you will be, you will be

Lord here I am, I'm waiting for you to come
Lord here I am, come and take my soul,
Come and take everything

There comes a time for everyone, when you've got to take a stand
There is so much more to this life, there's a higher plan
So loosen up your voices and hear the church bells ring
There is a melody that can make the heavens sing

[Chorus:]
I'll sing along
The heavens open up it's the salvation song
(repeat)

Everytime I turn around
There seems to be a frown upon your face
So open up your heart and let the light of joy come in
You can make a decision, it is yours to be made

[Chorus]
Joy to the world, every boy and girl
Joy to the world, every boy and girl

If you're thinking there is a brighter day to come
You are right my friend, there is everyday and then some
