Janie's got a hidden garden
she's been tending it for years
and when the world gets too oppresive
she hides away in there

Janie's got a sanctuary
where she can speak her every need
and when she's longing for reflection she falls
down to her knees

Chorus
no one can know
no one can see
the place she meets her God in secret
but everyone knows
everyone sees her life
and Janie's garden looks like paradise

Janie walks outside the garden
she can still see clearly in
and when she loses her perspective she talks to God again

Chorus x2

Erin O'Donnell - Hold on the Jesus

You're a little piece of heaven
You're a golden ray of light
Ad I wish I could protect you
From the worries of this life
But if there's one thing I could tell you
It's no matter what you do
Hold to Jesus
He's holding on to you

The world will try to tell you
That might is more than right
That beauty's on the outside
And being good's a losing fight
But remember what I've told you
Because the world will make you choose
Hold to Jesus
He's holding on to you

Hold on to Jesus
Cling to His love
Rest deep in His mercy
Whenever things get rough
Don't lose sight of His goodness
And don't ever doubt this truth
That when you hold on to Jesus
He's holding on to you

Hear me dear Jesus
Rock this little one to sleep
Keep her close when she's scared
And give her grace when she is weak
I know she'll stumble
But I know she'll make it through
If you hold to her just like
You said You'd do
Hold her Jesus
And she'll hold on tight to You




Erin O'Donnell - No Better Place

I could use someone to part the red sea
To fend off my enemies
And fight all my wars
I could use someone to heal all my lepers
To make right whatever
Pains me the most
Things were running just as planned
When suddenly I lost command
And for one control is out of my reach

CHORUS:
But I can't think of a better place
No I can't think of a better place
Yeah I can't think of a better place
Than where I am now

I could use someone from a bush that's caught fire
When my needs are most dire
And I've nowhere to go
I could use someone on the road to Damascus
When I'm running the fastest
Away from what's real
I was following the prescribed course
When I lost my way in an unseen storm
And there's no map left that I can trust

CHORUS

Things were running just as planned
When suddenly I lost command
And for once control is out of my reach

CHORUS




Erin O'Donnell - Overcome

Getting still and slowing down
Moving past the sights and sounds
Trying to stop my racing mind
Trying to leave this world behind
Wading through this constant noise
Desperate just to hear your voice
You are always there to meet me when I call to You

I can't contain this peace
It runs through me

Chorus:
When my words are not enough
To paint a picture of your love
You are all I'm thinking of
I'm overwhelmed, I'm overcome
Can I ever find a way
To capture what I feel today?
The only words that I can say
I'm overwhelmed, I'm overcome

You have made the sun and moon
You knew me in my mother's womb
Because of you creation bows
There is worship all around
Every hair that's on my head
Numbered like my every breath
There is nothing that's beyond your reach or understanding

And I can't hold back these tears
Just knowing you're here

Chorus

More then I can comprehend
I can barely take it in
I see who you are
And I'm undone and I'm overcome

Erin O'Donnell - Be Still And Know

No hour of peace - no restful sleep
No stone unturned - no secrets learned
No wisdom gleaned - no thoughts made clean

CHORUS:
I am unworthy and You are so holy
I am so weak and You are so strong
I cannot speak and You do not ask
Just to be still and know

No thing but fear - no courage here
No stepping down - no turning round
No hope made real - no will to kneel

CHORUS

And as time passes by
I'm forced to question my sincerity
Am I doing something wrong?
Is the answer here in my periphery?
Then You come to me
With a moment so complete
Just me, just You, just now

I cannot speak and You do not ask
Just to be still and know

Erin O'Donnell - To Be Loved

We might not know if it has a name
We might call it circumstance
We might try to look the other way
We might think it’s accident

It’s a wound--it’s a sting
It’s a finger with a string
It’s a song with no words that we know
It’s a mist--it’s a dream
It’s a faded memory
And we want it bad
We want it bad

Chorus:
To be here
To be now
To be open to the truth
To be held
To be seen
To be heard
To be faith
To be hope
And greatest gift of all--
To be loved--all we really want is
To be loved

We might call it the price of growing up
We might think it’s fairytale
We might try to medicate the ache
We might think we’re all alone

It’s a name we can’t speak
It’s a stranger on the street
It’s a hope in the things not seen
It’s a peace that we crave
It’s the thing for which we’re made
And we want it bad
We want it bad

Chorus

We find no rest until we rest in You
We cling to our stubbornness
We let go of what we never had
To find our way to You

‘Cause we hurt and we bleed
In our brokenness and need
And we’re scared to come in too close
But Your love has a way
Of invading every space
And we want it bad
We want it bad

Erin O'Donnell - Wide Wide World

I wanted to be safe
I wanted to get by
I almost lost my edge
I could not fathom why
But you would never let me
Your dang’rous side won out
‘Cause you knew what I wanted
I wanted to get out

Chorus:
It’s a wide wide world
And I almost lost you in it
It’s a chance to live
But it almost passed me by
It’s an open door
To live for something better
‘Cause you keep leading me
Into the wide wide world

Did Moses want to turn back
After crossing the red sea?
I bet that he got nervous
I wish that I could see
‘Cause I’ve got the shakes all over
And I want to turn around
But I’m twice as scared of missing
The good that can be found

Chorus

‘Cause you are past the borders
Somewhere off the map
Of what feels comfortable
And I am so grateful for that

It’s adventure that we want
And it’s what we’ll fin’lly get
There’s nothing safe about You
But sometimes I forget
So lead me into the wide world
Don’t let me miss my chance
‘Cause I’ll blink and it’ll be over
And I won’t pass here again




Erin O'Donnell - I Love How You Love Me

Prayed for wisdom
And you gave me time
I wait here impatiently
For your will not mine

I’m burning for purpose
Still i’m undefined
Slowly i give in to you
Slowly you refine

Through it all you never leave my side

Chorus:
You just love me that way that you do
You just love me because you're you
Well, you watch me get restless
And come to my senses
Then lift me and carry me through
I love how you love me, I do

Nothing coming quickly
Your lessons last for days
Like a map with no direction
And a sign that says "one way"
You take me to a foreign town where i don’t know the roads
Then wait for me to call on you to find my way back home
But this is where you teach me how to trust

Chorus
You wait for me to call on you to find my way back home.....




Erin O'Donnell - You Were The One

Lost my mind--I didn't have a clue
I couldn't see--I didn't think it through
But you stayed faithful all the while
It wasn't that I didn't know that truth
It was just I couldn't seem to choose
What I should...

So what did I decide?
How could I respond?
When I could feel that you
Still loved me all along
I was so confused
You were so unmoved

Chorus:
When you were the one who came down and stayed close
You were the hand that would not let me go
I make it all about me when it's the wrong thing to do
You were the one--
It was you

I messed it up-- I wasted so much time
I couldn't see the thing you had in mind
So I stayed the course that I was on
But you were good, you cared enough to stop
You opened up the doors that had been locked
And saved me

I wanted to leave
Well-enough alone
I didn't want to risk
I couldn't seem to grow
I was such a fool
You were staying true

Chorus

I wanted to leave
Well-enough alone
I didn't want to risk
I couldn't seem to grow
I was such a fool
You were being you




Erin O'Donnell - This Is My Prayer

May the sun wake you everyday
With sacred words and time to pray
And listen to your life

Embrace each season as it comes
Always remember where you come from
Giving thanks to God

May you learn to just let go
And leave it in His hands
Find some peace down every road

Chorus:
I know, I know, I know
That you wonder what your tomorrows hold
But I know, I know, I know
God will never leave you alone
He’ll be there
This is my prayer

That you find friends that you can trust
Don’t be afraid to fall in love
'Cause love is the one thing

That’s sure as the stars are gonna shine
Don’t ever leave your dreams behind
Stand up for what you believe

Take the time to see that good
It’s everywhere
Find your passion, live in truth

Chorus

As I breathe the air
I send this prayer
To God above
That you know that you are loved
