Bend In The Road

Words & Music: Brian Montrey

It’s been a long straight stretch of road

You’ve been right here all along

In the dark it’s hard to see

How the road lays out before us

There’s a light up ahead

I can feel some changes coming

There’s a light up ahead

I can feel You turning my life around again

I love the feel of Your hand resting on my shoulder

I love the sound as Your voice gently whispers in my ear

‘There’s a bend in the road

Can you see it up ahead?

There’s a bend in the road

And I’ll be with you as you’re turning around’

Sometimes you see where the road will take you

Sometimes you just follow the curves

Sometimes the changes come hard and fast

Other times they come like a slow smooth bend in the road

Grace

Words & Music: Brian Montrey

Grace is a name that some call you now

Grace is strength to let you show me how

Grace it’s always harder to give myself

Grace is just so hard to live without

Grace, grace and mercy… I need some mercy…

And I feel it… I feel it…

Rolling all through me

Grace keeps the despair underneath my feet

Grace I pray the Lord my soul to keep

Grace, grace and mercy… I need some mercy…

And I feel it… I feel it…

Rolling all through me

This emptiness, it haunts me every day

It’s just the way that I’m made…to fade away

Grace is what enables me to forgive

Grace sets my soul free to live

I Never Had Enough

Words & Music: Brian Montrey

Every time I feel alone – every time I fall

Every time I feel like giving up – you got my back against a wall

Why do I always feel alone? He said…

It’s been said a thousand times in his head

Man of sorrows he’s no stranger to our grief

Through the crowd of voices he is reaching for belief

Wonders if there’s really peace there?

If that river really flows, and if so where?

He says I know I never had enough

I know my arms could never touch the sky

They told him that you really cared about our pain

But he don’t know just what to think ‘cause it won’t go away

Maybe no one wants to hear it

But is it just because we fear it?

He says I know I never had enough

I know my arms could never touch the sky

I Wait

Words & Music: Brian Montrey

I wait for the Lord, my soul waits for You

Out of the depths I cry to you my Savior

Oh Lord, hear my voice

Do not turn Your face away from me

Hear my cry for mercy

Halleluia

Jerusalem

Words & Music: Brian Montrey

And you, if you are bringing

Bringing some good news, I need it now

And you, I hear you singing

Singing your love song over me

Jerusalem, oh… your work is ended

It’s time for mending

And you, I hear you calling

Calling me out of the pain I bring myself

And you, your arms are open

Hoping I’ll fall into the brokenness

Jerusalem, oh… your work is ended

It’s time for mending

We’re not so different you and I

It’s the universal condition… condition…

More Than In Touch

Words & Music: Brian Montrey

I’m lost within a dream, of you and I within

A world that can’t be wasting away

So much left to learn, and I’m fresh out of days to burn

Time and chance won’t wait anyway

I’m more than in touch with this emptiness

Every time I turn around

I’m more than in touch with my weakness

Open hands and pressing face to ground

I fall down to my knees, try to wear humility

Sometimes I can’t believe that robe was made for me

You are the breath and life, fill my days and nights

Hope you can make me how I need to be

I’m more than in touch with this emptiness

Every time I turn around

I’m more than in touch with my weakness

On my knees and face pressed to the ground

I’m not alone when I fall – even now I hear you are calling

I hear your voice when you say

Nothing can take this love away

And I believe it

Promises

Words & Music: Brian Montrey

There’s a burning in my heart

To end this race just like I started out now

But I’ve got nothing left to give

I need your love within to live it out now

There’s a burning in my soul

To follow through on promises I made to you

It takes a man

To stare the darkness in the face

It takes a man

To keep the covenant you made

There’s a burning in my heart

To end this race just like I started out now

It’s not enough just to say those words

When all you’re hiding is the emptiness inside

It takes a man

To stare the darkness in the face

It takes a man

To keep the covenant you made

All around I see love fade

It’s always easier to walk away

Rend The Heavens

Words & Music: Brian Montrey

Oh Lord, what is a man that You care?

Like shadows they shift and fade away

Dark night of the soul, and the spirit may break under it

I need to know that my heart won’t fail

Oh… rend the heavens and come down

Oh… for the thirst has reached the ground

Oh Lord, please rescue me now from that fate

My daughters and sons, that they might not fall

For my same mistakes

Rend the heavens and come down

Oh… the thirst has reached the ground

Take it away if it’s not real

But I’ve got something you can’t steal

Oh… rend the heavens and come down

Oh… for the thirst has reached the ground

The Deepest Fall

Words & Music: Brian Montrey

Falling in love was so easy with You

Falling for You was so easy to do

My heart was broken in pieces

The day that I finally found You

In Your arms I found my healing

And that’s right where I’m going to stay

Cause I love You… I love You…

You’re changing my heart to be more like You

And following You is all I can do…

Each day of walking in Your love

Is one more step closer to You

Each day I’m trying to learn how

To love You more than I did the day before

You are lovely, You are wonderful

You make all things… beautiful…beautiful…

And I love You… I love You…

The Things You Say

Words & Music: Brian Montrey

I have no choice but to believe

The things you say to me

I have no voice, when I hear you speak

Those things that you say to me

I… can’t feel a thing

I… don’t need a thing, when you’re near

And countless are the ways that I could

Be a better man, but I don’t

Need any help to see all of the ways I’ve failed

I’m taking a long hard look at

How I’m living my life because I

Want my kids to see truth in the words I say

I… can’t feel a thing

I… don’t need a thing, when you’re near

Oh… Oh…

Take me away… take me away… Take me away… with you…

I… can’t feel a thing

I… don’t need a thing, when you’re near

Rain Down

Words & Music: Brian Montrey

To you, oh Lord, I lift up my soul

Hear my cry, and heal me

You are right here, right now

And I bow before Your throne

Let Your mercies fall down on me

Let it rain down

You’re near to my broken heart

You draw me close to where You are

You are right here, right now

And I bow before Your throne

Let Your mercies fall down on me

Let it rain down

Rain down…

All Around

Words & Music: Brian Montrey

There’s a hole in your heart that I can’t get through

It’s got my name written all around it that is true

But you can’t get it wide enough for two

There’s a hole in your heart that I can’t get through

All around, medicated love tries to get in

All around, voices telling you which way to bend

To fill your empty heart and rest your weary head

I think of all the things that I could do for you

But I won’t get in the ring until you do

And I won’t play the game of guessing what’s your mood

There’s a hole in your heart that I can’t get through

All around, medicated love tries to get in

All around, voices telling you which way to bend

To fill your empty heart and rest your weary head

I love the way… you look at me when you don’t understand

I’m here to stay… even if you turn your love away
