Occasionally we all hit bumpy spots as we journey through life. However way you came across this album I’m glad you did. This album has been a labor of love and I’m thankful to have had the chance to complete it. The reality is I’m a father to three incredible children (Malakai, Laila, and Rhema) and husband to my amazing wife Lizzi. Without her help and sacrifice this album would never have come to fruition. Thank you honey for letting me take over the house and turn it into a recording studio. Even more importantly, thank you for your support and for believing in me. I love you more than you’ll ever know. As a multi-instrumentalist I was really able to dive into the soul of these songs and craft them in the way I felt they should go on every level. While that has it’s limitations, I’m glad I had the chance to do an album this way. It can truly be a struggle to do something alone but we never have to be alone in anything. Thank you Jesus for that. I hope you enjoy this album as much as my family has. May God bless you abundantly and to Him be all the glory. -Chris McCall- “Above all else, guard your heart for it is the wellspring of life.” Ancient Proverb Someone To Carry Sometimes I feel so weary Holdin’ it all inside I need Your love to carry All my worth up to the sky I need someone to carry me home Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh I need someone to carry me home; carry me home Your hands were pierced for me You died to set me free I’m not alone never alone You are everything I need You’re everything I want And now You’re all I can see I need someone to carry me home Oh-Oh-Oh-Oh I need someone to carry me home; carry me home Rise Above When I was young I waited so long for You Thought I was wrong… But You took my fear and made me new You made me new And the only way to rise above Is when I call out to Your heart of love You pulled me out, out of the ground And set my feet upon the rock I’ll sing a new song because now I know I know I’m not alone And the only way to rise above Is when I call out to Your heart of love You pulled me out, out of the ground And set my feet upon the rock I’ll sing a new song because now I know I know I’m not alone Choose Me You came into my life and you changed it When two worlds collide it’s something new I hope you choose me I hope you choose me when you don’t I hope you choose me I hope you choose me when you don’t When you don’t have to choose me Some day you’ll grow and leave this all All this empty Your life will go on and we’ll just watch From the sidelines Just remember we are here Please remember we are here I hope you choose me I hope you choose me when you don’t I hope you choose me I hope you choose me when you don’t When you don’t have to choose me Lost and Lonely I can see beauty in your heart And it’s overtaking All of the things they come in parts I can be mistaken I see the wonder of this world it whispers softly to me You are not alone Not alone Ya it’s a longing that was placed inside my soul And I feel lost and lonely when I’m in control I think I need you to be here more than I could ever really know I think I need you more than I could ever know Rise up awaken weary heart You can get by on just your smarts Look all around and see the beauty of this place Your worth was lost but now it’s found It’s found Ya it’s a longing that was placed inside my soul And I feel lost and lonely when I’m in control I think I need you to be here more than I could ever really know I think I need you more… Ya it’s a longing that was placed inside my soul I no longer feel lost and lonely cuz You are in control I know I need you to be here more than I could ever really know I know I need you more than I could ever know Set Free I walk along… The street it seems so far and feels so cold You found me there… I could hardly look away from Your sweet face and Your warm stare All I know… I’m free I’m free cuz You set me free I’m free I’m free I’m free cuz You set me free I’m free Everything once… Was had and once it’s had it all came down It crashed to the ground… It all came fallin’ down came fallin’ down Till you appeared… Your beauty was all I could see when you came near And our broken hearts started to disappear Ya our broken hearts were healed I’m free I’m free cuz You set me free I’m free Called Feel like I’m broken Feel I’m weak Lead me in ways Oh God that hear When You speak Where do I fit Show me where Speak to my soul You called me for a purpose To seek You every day Lord I’m weary stand beside me To guide me in all of Your ways In Your ways Cast all discouragement to You Give me Your peace Cling to Your word Oh Lord, I’ll wait for revelation Where do I fit Show me where Speak to my soul You called me for a purpose To seek You every day Lord I’m weary stand beside me To guide me in all of Your ways
