Little Blue Machine

AMXNRADIO

Compositor: Joel Houston

It feels like I’ve known you my whole life
And it feels like I barely know you at all
Feels like a flower in a landslide
Tryna figure you out
Kneeling terra firma
Fingernails in the dirt
But the grounds too tough
And my tools too blunt to work
Looking for an anchor
Or just a place to plant my feet
In the spin’ and drift of this little blue machine

We’re floating in a love song
Sweet as the light we depend on
How your love came down
In a grace that just don’t care what we don’t deserve
Looking for redemption
With my hand in the fire
Does it have to hurt
For my heart to know it burns
Looking for a refuge
With my head in the clouds
On this little blue machine
You made ours

'Cause it feels like the sky’s about to break
And the surface is cracking up again
And the waters are bubbling beneath
The rumbling of a hope no eye has seen
And it feels like I'm way over my head
Tryna keep my feet
In the swing of life and death
Tryna reason out trust
On this tightrope we’ve strung
Between your heart
And this little blue machine

You wrote it like a love song
Heaven to the down and out
Sweet as the cross we depend on
Where your blood poured out
In a grace that just don’t care
What we deserve
And it finds me like a diamond in the dirt
How a salvaged wreck like me
Could know such worth
To know my debt is forgiven
Heaven made in your image
On this little blue machine
You gave your word

And now it feels like I'm waking up again
In a dream like my mind’s seen nothing yet
And it feels like I'm chasing back each breath
Just to find the voice
That beats inside my chest
And when I do, I’ll be sure my heart is home
Like surrender was all I lived to know
With a fist full of dirt
Knees drilled to your word
On this little blue machine
We call God’s earth

You wrote it like a love song
Wild as the cross we depend on
How you broke all our chains
In a grace that just don’t care what we deserved
And it's more than I’ll ever hope to gain
How you crashed this dirt
And you strode out of that grave
With the world in your scars
And the claim on my heart
And this little blue machine
We call yours

O I surrender all (all I am, all I am)
Yea I surrender
All my wins and my losses
My pride and defenses
My will and devices
My strength and all my sin
My fears and desires
My tears and my triumphs, o lord

You wrote it like a love song
Heaven to the down and out
Sweet as the cross we depend on
Where your blood poured out
In a grace that just don’t care
What we deserve
And it finds me like a diamond in the dirt
How a salvaged wreck like me
Could know such worth
To know my debt is forgiven
Heaven made in your image
On this little blue machine
We call God’s earth

And now it feels like I'm waking up again
In a dream like my mind’s seen nothing yet
And it feels like I'm chasing back each breath
Just to find the voice
That beats inside my chest

All my thrills and my trials
My trust and denials
My flesh and my spirit
My strength and all my sin
With a fist full of dirt
Knees drilled to your word
On this little blue machine
We call God’s earth
