So Right

Brand spanking new song written with Stephanie White. We actually got the idea in the middle of a very hurried rehearsal before a worship service. I recorded the snippet on my phone and then dug it up this week…everything about God is just so right…so perfect…just “yes.”

Everything About You
Ben Ward/Stephanie White

I want to sing to You when it’s cold outside
I want to sing to You in the darkest night
I want to sing to You when I’m full of fight
I want to sing to You in the morning light
‘Cause everything about You is so right

CHORUS 1
Full of mercy
Full of kindness
So beautiful
So wonderful

I want to sing to You from the highest heights
I want to sing to You when I’m out of sight
I want to sing to You when the way is tight
I want to sing to You, You’re my delight
‘Cause everything about You is so right

CHORUS 1

I want to sing to You when I don’t understand
I want to sing to You when I don’t see Your hand
I want to sing to You more than I can stand
I want to sing to You in the grander plan
You were here before time began

CHORUS 2
Full of power
Full of wisdom
So glorious
So marvelous

CHORUS 1

Lavishing Love

Brand new song today!! So excited to share this one about the Prodigal Son…let me know what you think!

Finding My Way Back to You
Written by Ben Ward

You overwhelm me with mercy
You overtake me with grace
Lavishing love, more than enough
Goodness I see and taste
So why do I run away?

CHORUS
So unworthy
Still You love me
Undeserving
Yet You celebrate
As I’m finding my way
In Your time and Your place
Back to the look on Your face
Full of mercy and grace
I’m finding my way back to You

All the riches and glory in Jesus
You willingly gave away
Sacrificing Your Son so I could come
Bask in the light of Your face
Why do I run away?

CHORUS

Another New Song – Don’t Want to Run

Here’s another one I wrote with Anje Dowler and a great singer/songwriter I went to Berklee with, Mike Willis.

Staying put. Seeing love through. Walking it out. Hard, but so worth it. Enjoy!!

Don’t Want to Run

I’ve always played the game
Holding back,
not giving all of me
so quick place the blame
A broken man
With an answer for everything

Can’t keep living live in overdrive
Always trying to catch my breath
My soul is tired now
I think I’m losing ground
I can’t help myself

CHORUS
I don’t want to run anymore
I’d rather stay with you and take it slow
With this love I can’t ignore
I’m finally coming undone
I don’t wanna run

A collection of memories
A fading dream
Are all I’ve had to hold
A beaten up photograph
From a moment that
I cannot seem to let go

Our love has been a battleground
Leaving us the casualties
I’ll raise my hand and call a truce
But I just can’t retreat

CHORUS

Am I too late?
Has the moment gone?
Is there a part of me alive in you?
Something I can hold on to?

CHORUS
