Track #18 - Change Me

I love this song by Ryan Long that I've heard played a good bit at Young Life camps over the past year or so. I think it's a beautiful picture of the cry of our hearts when we realize there is a God who loves us and has been trying to get our attention (and in the case of YL camp... I think often in the beauty of our surroundings).

Change Me
by Ryan Long

Never seen the trees so tall
Never seen the mountains at all
Now that I’m here I can’t stop my trembling hands

Never seen the water so clear
Never seen the people so fearless
Never seen the snow, I just didn’t know

I don’t wanna cry now about where I’ve been
I just wanna try now to start again

I wanna tear off the rooftops so maybe I can see you in the sky
I wanna catch every raindrop and wash the shadows from my eyes

I just wanna live my life like it was meant to be

Change me (where I stand)
Change me (take my hand)
Change me (where I stand)
Change me (take my hand)
