Giving Christmas Away - Tasha Layton

If it's all the same to you Could I fall asleep next to you? I've been waiting to hear you breathe Cause without it, I can't sleep With your hands all through my hair You're holding onto all the air And judging from how we've been You should kiss me like you mean it again Cause I don't wanna be your friend Call me "Pretty Young Thing" Make me weak until I'm speechless Falling into you Hear my mad machine gun heartbeat Pounding right beside you Giving me away Giving me away Did you know that when you laugh It tears my heart in half? When I feel you look my way I keep feeling you all day God gave to me with just one hand But He gave to you with all He had And when our feet are intertwined I feel your blood in my feeble veins Oh, how I want you to stay... Call me "Pretty Young Thing" Make me weak until I'm speechless Falling into you Hear my mad machine gun heartbeat Pounding right beside you Giving me away Giving me away What was I supposed to do? Laying right there next to you What am I supposed to do with you? ...with you? Call me "Pretty Young Thing" Make me weak until I'm speechless Falling into... Falling in, falling in, falling into you Hear my mad machine gun heartbeat Pounding right beside you Giving me away Giving me away

I paid all my dues so I picked up my shoes I got up and walked away Oh, I was just a boy Nobody else to blame... I've worked hard and failed Now all I can say is I threw it all away Oh, I was just a boy Giving it all away... Sail away, sail away, Ooh, I know better now, I know better now Giving it all away Ooh, I know better now, I know better now I've given it all away... Went out in the world -- too much for my nerves Only myself to blame Oh, I was just a boy Nobody else to blame... I've done all I can, now it's out of my hands Stand on my head and say Oh, I was just a boy Giving it all away...

Little bits of heaven Floating gently by the window Soon this dirty city will be Covered with a new snow Let's put on our winter boots Go outside and play Christmas can't be very far away Weather girl says "bundle up" It's gonna be a cold one I'll put on my wooly hat You'll wear your dad's old Stetson Pretty lights are everywhere Shining night and day Christmas can't be very far away Let's take a walk downtown and Go dream shopping in the mall The kids can do the Santa thing Photographs and all We'll get the biggest tree this year And trim it to the top And spend a whole lot more Than what we've got But so what Come next spring I know we will be Ready for the sunshine Right now throwin' snowballs At each other's such a fun time Kids will think we're crazy For a while and that's okay Christmas can't be very far away Christmas can't be very far away

How far, is too far? I thought I'd be there by now Followed shame to the place I was sure Your grace ran out I kept running and running and running You kept chasing and chasing and chasing A million miles of my mistake Still couldn't keep Your love away How ever far away I am from home That's how far Your love will go, go I turn around and I see Pure compassion in Your eyes Savior's voice says to me "Time to come back home, my child" So I came running and running and running And You kept reaching and reaching and reaching, Lord A million miles of my mistake Still couldn't keep Your love away How ever far away I am from home That's how far Your love will go, go Mercy's arms stretched open wide You paid it all What kind of love lays down His life? Willing to cross A million miles of my mistake Still couldn't keep Your love away How ever far away I am from home That's how far Your love will go Oh, I couldn't keep Your love away How ever far away I am from home That's how far Your love will go How far Your love will go Arms stretched open wide That's how far Your love will go (How far Your love will go) (How far Your love will go) That's how far Your love will go

Oh I just got a message from Old Saint Nick Way up in Christmas Lane And he says that the toys for good girls and boys Are being made as planned There's a truck for little Billy And a dolly for Molly Dear But you ain't gettin' diddly squat 'Cause you really messed up this year Oh the winter fields are white as snow And the lights are shining bright And the wee little heads are tucked in bed Dream of sugar plums this night You might dream of big red apples And those candy canes so new But you ain't gettin' diddly squat 'Cause you really messed up this year Fa, la, la, la, you're in trouble, fa, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la When your mother asked you to wash the dishes Well you said, "No, no, no" And you would not pick up your socks So you might find a stocking full of coal Ho, ho, ho! Oh you know that Santa's watching you And he keeps a great big list And when I tell him the things you do He really will be, mad He'll sit you on his knee and then He'll whisper in your ear You ain't gettin' diddly squat 'cause you really messed up Oh you really, you really messed up this year! You ain't gettin' diddly squat

You're burning candles At both ends Can't close your eyes 'Cause you're at it again You find your plans Are like castles in the sand When the tide goes out The tide comes in (By the Spirit) We live and move and breathe (By the Spirit) We can be Filled up In the desert He's an ocean Filled up He can satisfy your soul Filled up With a joy that's overflowing When this world leaves you empty of love My God's the only thing that is enough Be filled up Filled up There's more inside you Than flesh and bone Oh, child of God You are never alone He'll carry your burdens Bring purpose to pain He's living water If you call on His name He's living water So just call on His name Be filled up In the desert He's an ocean Filled up He can satisfy your soul Filled up With a joy that's overflowing When this world leaves you empty of love My God's the only thing that is enough We're living filled up Filled with the Spirit Where the Spirit of the Lord is There is freedom, freedom We're living filled up Filled with the Spirit Where the Spirit of the Lord is There is freedom, freedom Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom We can be Filled up (oh) In the desert He's an ocean Filled up He can satisfy your soul (He'll satisfy your soul) Filled up With a joy that's overflowing When this world leaves you empty of love My God's the only thing that is enough (the only thing) We're living filled up Filled with the Spirit Where the Spirit of the Lord is There is freedom, freedom We're living filled up Filled with the Spirit Where the Spirit of the Lord is There is freedom, freedom

When this broken world is breaking me down When my tears and knees both fall to the ground When my questions make me doubt You more than ever You remind me that Your answer is always never Never forgotten Never forsaken Never abandoned Not for a second I am safe in Your hands Always and forever You're never not working My heart is the proof There's not a broken too broken for You Will there ever come a day when You're not holding me together? You say never Every single time I look back I see There's never been a promise You didn't keep You don't waste the wounds, You use them for the better When it comes to You Your answer's always, "never " You never let me down No, You never let me down When did You ever let me down? Never, No Never You never let me down No, You never let me down When did You ever let me down? Never You say never You say never You never let me down When did you ever let me down? Oh, never Never!
