Lyrics

 

See below for lyrics to all my songs including Matt Lund and The Waggerers, Matt Lund: Works 2, Rescued Souls, and The Lund McVey Group:

 

Matt Lund and The Waggerers

I Like Country Now

Well, I used to like to rock; I used to play jazz

I used to dance to funky beats like no one ever has

I turned up heavy metal when I listened in my car

I even used my fingernails to play classical guitar

Then I heard a magic sound on the radio

Now the Nashville country music has touched my soul

Thanks to the chicken picking, whiskey drinking songs of the south I like Country now

I like those guitars, fiddles, mandolins

When I hear that twang I say play it again

I hear those voices telling stories of life in the south

Living free and coming from a small town

It isn’t what I listened to when I was a child but I like Country now

Well, I ain’t got no boots, I ain’t got no truck

I never had a meat ‘n’ three or grits for Sunday brunch

I never said: “I reckon,” “yonder,” “fixin,” or “y’all”

I ain’t got no B-bender on my rock ‘n’ roll guitar

Thanks to the Chicken picking, whiskey drinking

Boot scooting, honky tonking

Yeehaw saying, banjo playing

Story telling, heart breaking

Songs of the south I like Country now

 

I Can’t Get Heaven Off My Mind

Well the Lord says He’s coming back to Earth one day

Well the Lord says He’s coming back to Earth one day

When He comes He’s gonna take my pain away

He’s gonna raise me up in glory, take me away to a better place

He’s gonna raise me up in glory, take me away to a better place

The Lord’s gonna wipe the tears off of every face

I ask Him, “Lord, won’t you take me there right now”

The Lord says, “That sounds mighty fine, but it just ain’t your time”

So here I am living this beat down, stuck in the mud, going nowhere life

This world is raging; this body is aging I can’t get Heaven off my mind

This heart is weary; I can see clearly I can’t get Heaven off my mind

 

 

There Was An Old Man

There was an old man who lived on top of a hill

He wouldn’t let another come and sit with hill

When the other hills said, “Let’s be friends,”

He closed his door and locked himself in

So all the other hills said he was full of sin

There was a young girl who never said a word

All the people thought she was ever so demure

She went to the doctor to see what she could learn

The doctor had a cure; on her it was conferred

The first thing she said was, “Would you guess what I heard?”

There was an old woman who found a snake

It was starving and alone so she baked it a cake

She loved it like her own but she made a mistake

She nursed it back to health; she made it strong and wise

But the snake bit her on the heel and left her to die

There was a young man who lived in a tree

He had an idea how we all could be free

He only came down to say, “Listen to me,”

But no one knew his name, so no one had the time

He went back to his tree and started to climb

There was an old man who lived on top of a hill

He wouldn’t let another come and sit with him

When he saw his time was coming to an end

He opened his door and said “Won’t you come in”

Not one of the other hills came to sit with him

When he lay down; when he gave in

Not one came over to speak for him

 

Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow Too

I remember when we first met

You smiled and I knew I would never forget

Now you light up my life as my lovely wife

That was yesterday and this is today:

Your kindness, compassion, and joy

Have made this man out of that frightened boy

The words that you said; the things you did

They made me love you and today I still do

I love you so much more than you know

Even more than the words of this song

I love you so much that sometimes it hurts

‘Cause I know I can’t let you go

I don’t say it enough but I’ll tell everyone

They’ll know I love you as they sing along

What God does for me, I’ll do for you

I love you yesterday, today, and tomorrow too

Yesterday we were young and life stretched out before us

Today we have work to do: the things the Lord has called us to

Tomorrow when we grow old side by side, when life has passed us by

I’ll keep lovin’ you like the first day I did

My love for you will always be true

I love you yesterday, today, and tomorrow too

 

 

Matt Lund: Works 2

 

I’ll Tell You Later

I see you for a moment after I come home

Before you go we don’t have long to talk right now

I’ll see you later on; I know we’ll have a lot of fun

But as you’re walking out the door I feel this way:

 

I want you to know I adore you

I’d do anything for you and

I love you even more than yesterday

I want you to know that I need you and

I’m glad to receive you

As a perfect gift for me from God above

I can’t tell you now but later on

 

I’m thinking of you fondly when I’m home alone

Before I go I don’t have long to stop right now

I’ll see you later on; I know we’ll have a lot of fun

But as I’m walking out the door I feel this way

 

I’m Gonna Write a Song About It

Some may say:

What is the way to cope with life’s misfortunes?

Some may say: How can I stay glad in my misfortune?

All I have to report isn’t much of a retort

All day long, to keep me strong

When something’s wrong, it helps me move on

I write a song

 

Well, it don’t matter to me if:

The traffic is jammed; the highway is slammed

My car breaks down; it won’t make a sound

I can’t call the guys; my battery died

Now I got my phone charged but I ain’t got no bars

It supposed to be warm but it’s going to storm

It’s wet on the deck and it’s windy as heck

The power went out, a tree fell down

We got zombies running all over town

 

My dog, my cat, they’re lost, they’re fat

My Mom, my Dad, they’re sick, they’re sad

Flood, storm, tornado, gale, blizzard, monsoon

Aliens blow up the Moon

 

Got bugs in the bed, an ache in my head

Crack in my back, my tongue turned black

Got a tough toothache, burned my bacon and eggs

My car won’t start, even a broken heart

Well, anything that God’s gonna send my way

Day or night, dark or light

Good or bad, happy or sad

I’m gonna write a song about it

 

Well, it don’t matter to me if:

The Wi-Fi is down; the router is blown

The modem is gone; I threw it out on the lawn

I don’t want to work; my boss is a jerk

My paycheck comes but it ain’t the right one

My roof has a leak; the shingles are cheap

I step on a crack, break my Mom’s back

Have a pain in my neck because I got in a wreck

We block out the sun and a new ice age comes

 

My dog, my cat, they’re lost, they’re fat

My Mom, my Dad, they’re sick, they’re sad

Flood, storm, tornado, gale, hurricane

Dinosaurs take back the Earth

I’m gonna write a song about it

 

Before I Knew You

Before I knew You, You were working in my life

Leading me to the places I didn’t know I needed to be

Now that I know You and love You so much

And I know that You also love me

My life has meaning, purpose and direction

I will never forsake You or leave You

Because I can no longer live without giving my life to You

 

Before I knew you, He was working in your life

Leading you to the places you didn’t know you needed to be

Now that I know you and love you so much

And I know that you also love me

My life has meaning, purpose and direction

I will never forsake you or leave you

Because I can no longer live without sharing my life with you

 

My Family Line

I can draw a line between your places

I can even draw lines between your faces

And on our faces the same lines appear

I know your names; know your stories

I even know beyond your stories’ end

I hear you speak, but I’ve never heard your voice

 

We’re running races, we’re spirit chasing

 

I’m on my way, taking my steps

All my days, walking my path

On my way, taking my time

All my days, walking this line

I will follow it true; it leads me back to you

The great writer of my family line

 

On our minds: the same old worries

On our shoulders: we take our crosses

On our hearts: the same hopes and fears

With our feet: the same old journeys

With our hands: we shape our lives

With our faces: we laugh, smile, and cry

 

I will walk it to the end and gladly pass it on my friend

To you so you can get on with your share of this life

Until I meet you in the after, after all is said and done

The ones who came before me and

The ones who’re yet to come: so many I will never know

But in the lines between the places and

The traces of the faces

Of the lives and times of my family line

 

We’re on our way, taking our steps

All our days, walking our paths

On our way, taking our time

All our days, walking this line

I will follow it true; it leads me back to you

The great writer of my family line

 

The Reason That I Live

Oh, my God, my Savior King

You gave your life; you paid the price for me

Oh, my God, my Comforter

You made the world, created all I see

 

You will never leave; you live inside of me, you are my God

Every breath I take, every beat my heart will make

You are the reason, the reason that I live

 

Oh, my God, my shepherd Lord

You are my guide; you lead me to my peace

 

You are wisdom; you are grace

You are power; truth for all my days

You hear the prayers of my heart

And when I feel like I’m falling apart

Your mercy falls like the spring rain

And I live to praise your name

You are the reason that I live

 

I’m Sorry 

I don’t want to hurt you; it’s when I feel bad that you get hurt

And I feel better for only a moment but it’s too late to stop the pain

 

And I’m sorry for hurting you; I’m sorry for doubting you

I’m sorry for everything I’ve ever done that hasn’t been of the Lord

 

I will always love you; it’s when I feel hurt that I can’t show you

And I feel bad for not being able and I don’t know how to stop the pain

 

Even though He allows our sin

Even though He made evil out of Him

Even though I was made to be who I am

I’m still sorry; I’m still growing; I’m still hopeful ‘till the end

 

My Great King

You give each moment life, lifting us from the dust

Watching the fall back down, helping us to our feet again

 

Jesus you are the light, leading me through it all

Watching me lose my way, helping me turn my head again

 

Take me with you

High in the night sky to proclaim your name

Star to star, land to land, realm to realm, soul to soul

Beyond this dimension, beyond my perceptions

To the place where I fly, sing of my great king

 

Take me with you

Where it’s all new, and everywhere is you

No one dies, no one cries

And we’re all made of shining light

Beyond this dimension, beyond my perceptions

To the place where I fly, sing of my great king

 

You give each moment life, lifting us from the dust

After the world ends we will all join our hands and kneel

And sing of our great king

 

Closer To God

You’ve grown so much since I first met you

You already knew about Jesus and the power of His name

But since we’ve been together you’ve gone out on a limb

And found that if you seek, you will find Him

 

We are growing into who God wants us to be

We are learning that He is all we need

We are Closer To God, and we know what He wants

At least for this season

 

I’ve grown so much since you first met me

I didn’t even know about Jesus and the power of His name

But since we’ve been together I’ve gone out on a limb

And found that if I seek, I will find Him

 

When I Dream

When I dream that you are no longer with me

The only thing that I can do is drop everything I am doing

And try to find you

 

I need to tell you that I love you

I need to tell you that I need you

And I need you to love me and need me too

 

When I dream that I am with someone else

I always feel something missing

I still know that I’m supposed to be with you

And for that is what I’m wishing

 

When I dream that I am with you alone

It feels like heaven, perfection

I still want to wake up, to be real

And live our life together

Loving one another until I fly to the sky

To be with you forever

Without dreaming at all anymore

To love you pure and never sleep

And never miss a moment of joy

We Thank You

When my sister does me wrong

When my soul aches all night long

I remember God above

What He says and what He does

 

He gives me everything I need

With all these gifts He blesses me

Blesses me with

 

Love!  We thank you,

Hope!  We thank you,

Faith!  We thank you, Lord

Grace!  We thank you,

Truth!  We thank you,

Life!  We thank you, Lord

 

When my brother leaves me cold

When I feel cut to the bone

I remember God above

What He says and what He does

 

He says I promise you won’t fall

I will lead you through it all

I will lead with

 

Peace!  We thank you,

Light!  We thank you,

Joy!  We thank you, Lord

 

Through You

I have always needed you

You have always led me through

Even when I didn’t know

You were always in control

 

I look back and see you there

I look ahead and have no fear because

 

Through you, through you

I can find my way in the pouring rain

Through you, through you

I can understand my pain

Through you

 

I see the footsteps in the sand

When I was sinking in the waves you took my hand

You came and found me in this place

Forever I am indebted to your grace

 

(It’s all through you) I can move a mountain

(It’s all through you) the dead are raised to life

(It’s all through you) I can walk on water

(It’s all through you) I can face the storm

 

 

"Rescued Souls"

 

Cast My Cares

All my fears, all my doubts All the wasted time All my tears, all the pain All the years gone by I want to leave it all I don’t need it now I want to love again Jesus, help me out of this place

I cast my cares on you You are grace and truth I cast my cares aside Jesus be my guide

All my words, all my plans All the dreams inside All my hate, all my spite All the endless pride I want to leave it all I don’t need it now I want to love again Jesus, help me follow your grace

Whatever may come, Whatever may go, Whatever you give, Whatever you take, Lord Your will, not mine, and all for your glory

 

Count It All As Joy

When people leave each other When people lose their home When people hurt each other What is there left to do

When we feel pain and anger When we feel all alone When there is loss and tragedy What is there left to do

We count it all as joy We count it all as joy In the dark, the night the storms of life We count it all as joy

In times of war and famine In sickness, fear, and doubt When we grieve, have painful memories What is there left to do

The joy of the lord is my strength It overcomes my pain The joy of the lord is my peace It washes over me The joy of the lord is my hope I am whole again

 

This New Direction

We make the trek through the desert Straining our eyes to see through the dust There’s no chance of a return to shelter We press on, learning to lean to the wind While the lines of a tower rise in the distance

There’s no stopping now; we closed off The chapters of our lives that made us who we are Who knows how, but we’ll make it Feel the push from deep inside To head out in this new direction

We struggle in the undertow Reaching our arms to find an escape There’s no chance of a rescue now We kick on, learning to breath in the deep While the lights of a city shine in the distance

Don’t fall; you’ll make it to the top I reach my hand to you, my friend

 

The Reason That I Live

Oh, my God, my Savior King You gave your life You paid the price for me

Oh, my God, my Comforter You made the world Created all I see

You will never leave You live inside of me You are my God Every breath I take Every beat my heart will make You are the reason The reason that I live

Oh, my God, my shepherd Lord You are my guide You lead me to my peace

You are wisdom; you are grace You are power; truth for all my days You hear the prayers of my heart And when I feel like I’m falling apart Your mercy falls like the spring rain And I live to praise your name You are the reason that I live

 

And I Walk

The wind blows through the empty street One season ends and another one begins The leaves fall, the light dies and I walk

I build a wall, a skyscraper I finish it inside and out The sky falls, the moon bleeds and I walk

Time runs away; every day we are making memories Love binds the day with the night and I walk

I find a way; I circle back I think about what was, is, and is to come The branches bud, the night dies and I walk

Time runs away; love every day

 

I Find You

With me, beside me, before me, behind me Inside me, you guide me to you

In the night, in the day In my joy, in my pain In the laughter, in the sadness I find you, I find you

I know you’re always there sharing life with me Our greatest challenge is to step out and see Your power, your purpose, your glory in all

Without, within, everywhere and every when The motion of the earth You give and take away So all the world will know your name, the truth of who you are Your power, your purpose, your glory in all

In all things, I find you

 

Under His Feet

Your gift falls gracefully Life is justified by your faith This is not from ourselves Peace was made by your blood

It’s all over; the Savior Gave His life in victory Forever, the Redeemer Reconciled Himself to me Death is under His feet

You will consume it all Remake the world by your will Wipe the tears from our eyes And heal us all with endless light

 

My Great King

You give each moment life Lifting us from the dust Watching the fall back down Helping us to our feet again

Jesus you are the light Leading me through it all Watching me lose my way Helping me turn my head again

Take me with you High in the night sky to proclaim your name Star to star, land to land Realm to realm, soul to soul Beyond this dimension, beyond my perceptions To the place where I fly, sing of my great king

Take me with you Where it’s all new and everywhere is you Where no one dies, no one cries And we’re all made of shining light Beyond this dimension, beyond my perceptions To the place where I fly, sing of my great king

You give each moment life Lifting us from the dust After the world ends We will all join our hands and kneel And sing of our great king

 

New Creation

I was born at first in the flesh of a man I’ve been born again from above With Christ abiding in you The old is gone, you’re new

New Life, New Creation

I was a child of the world Now I’m a child of heaven With Christ abiding in you The old is gone, you’re new

 

For All Time

When you’re all alone And you’re cryin’ out Wondering if life has meaning When you’re having doubts And you’re asking how He will whisper from His holy place And His glorious voice will say:

I will take you home, out of this world I have known your name for all time I will show you life, not of this Earth I will be your light for all time

He will come to you Speak into your heart Tell you of His holy mystery He has died for you He died for me too Died for all the world to speak His name And His glorious voice will say:

Jesus took the fall to make the all in all He defeated death; He breaks down the walls All the people say: Jesus is the way This life or the next, we wait until the day

 

I Will Wait

Moses wandered 40 years Job lost everything Abram moved his family far They waited on the Lord They waited on the Lord

Noah weathered 40 days David lived in a cave Isaiah saw his people in chains They waited on the Lord They waited on the Lord

I will wait; I will wait I’ll still praise you and cry out in the rain I will cry out in my pain and know you are there

I know you’re there beside me I know you’re there to guide me I know you have a plan for every faithful man I know it’s okay to say I will wait

I will wait; I will wait I will wait; I will wait I’ll still praise you; I’ll still praise you I’ll still praise you; I’ll still praise you and Cry out in the rain, I will cry out in my pain Cry out in the rain, I will cry out in my pain And know you are there

 

Where Life Begins

I am not home, not yet, I fear This life I do love though it cannot compare God you are life and love, my dear You never end, never began I see a ring, a ring of light For all things a time to live and to die I am not home, not yet, I fear.  I am still on my way there

Until we fly away Until we shine

I have not lived, not half a life Like the one I’ll live when He comes I have not seen, not half the sight Of the height and depth of His love

So, come Lord Jesus and lead us all To the place where life begins Come Lord Jesus and lead us all To the place where life begins

I wait for the day my voice proclaims Glory to God in Jesus’ name I am not home, not yet, I fear.  I am still on my way there

"The Light of the Son"

 

Prayer From the Heart

I prayed to my Father in heaven

In the name of Christ Jesus

And by the urging of the Holy Spirit

I confessed my sins against Him

Against myself and my own body too

 

I prayed for forgiveness

And purification from all unrighteousness

I prayed for His gospel

That it would be given utterance

And that God would open doors for it

 

I prayed that God would give me eyes to see

Ears to hear, a mind to understand

And a heart to confess and believe

I prayed for my family and friends

But also for my enemies too

That they would be blessed

And that evil would be overcome with good

This is my prayer from the heart

 

I pray that you would be blessed

And that evil would be overcome with good

I pray that all would be blessed

And that evil would be overcome with good

This is my prayer from the heart

 

The Light of the Son

My heartbeat pounds

My breath leaves me gasping

To think and feel, understand and love

 

The Earth, the sky, the clouds

The light of the sun, the light of the Son

 

The Moon, the stars

Planets, galaxies, the universe

To look and see, trust and have faith

 

The Earth, the sky, the clouds

The light of the sun, the light of the Son

In a smile, in a hug, in kind words

The light of the sun, the light of the Son

 

Freedom

Freedom to live

Freedom to grow

Freedom to love

Freedom to know

Freedom to build

Freedom to speak

Freedom to heal

Freedom to think

 

My God Gives Me Peace

My God gives me peace, gives me freedom

My God gives me all His love

My God even gave me His only son

 

My God is the way, is the reason

My God is the only one

My God made the world and the heavens above

 

My God’s love is enough

To overcome all my fears and all of my doubts

My God knows it all, has a perfect plan

He’s got the whole world in His hand

 

My God gives me peace, gives me freedom

My God gives me all His love

My God is truly the only one

 

 

"The Lund McVey Group"

 

In My Grief

In my grief, I reach out

A pain unfolds inside my heart

It’s an old pain, who knows where it started?

I’ve helped it grow, I can hardly imagine

Living without it now

 

In my grief, I reach out

An answer comes in the form of light

It’s a warm light, with a feeling behind it

It helps me know everything will be all right

Although I can’t imagine how

 

I feel as if I’m drowning in a sea

The darkness curls above my head and washes over me

I have no strength to lift myself

And who can separate from the things that make

Them who they are

I guess I’ll have to give it up

And be a better woman by far

I think I see what my grief can mean to me

  

Good and Evil

Some are made, made for good and evil

This is the balance, balance by design

You don’t know good, if you don’t know bad, you can’t know God

 

You know what, know what you will find there

This is the battle for your, for your soul

Everybody always knows, you always know, I always know

 

There is no love without suffering

There is no fear in perfect love

 

Mankind was made to fall

The lamb has taken it all

One day He will be all in all

 

Everything evil made good with new life

Now you know, now you know how good you have it

 

My Daddy From Up Above

I have a daddy who will raise me up

Hold me together; overflow my cup

He made the world, every boy and girl

He made the stars; He even made my back yard

His love fits like a glove, He’s my daddy from up above

 

Now I have another dad here on earth

He’s good to me, taken care of me from birth

If I were to lose him, if he were to die,

I’d still have my daddy in the sky

 

I have a daddy who can part the sea

Give me strength, give me peace; even make the devil flee

He hears my prayers; He has a place prepared for me

He’s got a plan for every woman and man

He came in the shape of a dove, He’s my daddy from up above

 

Now I have another dad here on earth

He’s good to me, helped me know my worth

If I were to lose him, if he were to die,

I’d still have my daddy in the sky

 

I have a daddy who loves me true

He loves everyone, even you, too

He made a way, a path we can take

To get to heaven and leave behind our heartache

He’s the one that you might’ve heard of, He’s my daddy from up above

He came in the shape of a dove, He’s my daddy from up above

His love fits like a glove, He’s my daddy from up above

Two Worlds

From every side

Everywhere I look

I don’t belong here

Must be somewhere else

 

I am not a citizen

Of this world I know

I smile but feel empty

And yearn for more

 

I close my eyes

These worlds collide

 

When I look inside

When I look beyond

A chance to decide

A chance for life

 

When I look inside

When I look beyond

A chance to decide

A chance for life

 

I hear the voice

I see the place

I am bound to this world

But I live somewhere else

 

Our struggles in this world

Are not eternal

Lies designed to entice

Truth designed for life

 

I close my eyes

These worlds collide

This is not the end

I will transcend
