Just One Touch
Words/Music by Anthony Carpenter
I have heard about You all my life,
Wherever I go, there You are.
I feel so lost and alone sometimes,
Like no one really cares about me.
There's so much hate and so much pain,
War and fear are all around.
No one knows my heart's desire,
I long to feel Your arms around me.
Peace seems so very far away,
Yet You hold it in the palm of Your hands.
Just one touch is all I need.
Just one touch is all I ask for.
Just one touch is all I need.
Please don't turn away from me.
I look to the left and I look to the right,
But know one cares, the way that You do.
So many hurt and longing souls,
Yearn for just one touch of Your robe.
I don't understand what's happening,
But You promised You'd take care of me.
One thing is true in the midst of it all,
Where You lead me I will follow.
With one touch of Your nail pierced hands,
I will be free from my sorrow.
Just one touch is all I need.
Just one touch is all I ask for.
Just one touch is all I need.
Please don't turn away from me.
(Repeat)
I have heard about You all my life,
Wherever I go, there You are.....You are.
Get out of My Head
Words and music by Anthony Carpenter
My heart screams for some relief,
from the pain I've caused and the grief.
When I think about what I've done,
I hang my head and bight my tongue.
Over and over it plays in my head,
the things I have done and things I have said.
Pictures of you, your head in your hands,
haunt me to this day, I'll never understand.
I can't get you out of my head.
I can't get you out of my head.
Your eye's, your face, your innocence.
I can't get you out of my head.
It's been eight years since I walked away,
seems like a thousand since I've seen your face.
I don't understand why I treated you bad,
even though you sacrificed all that you had.
I'll never forget the moment the day,
when you and me together gave it all away.
But that was such a long time ago,
I need to move on I need to let you go.
But
I can't get you out of my head.
I can't get you out of my head.
Your eye's, your face, your innocence.
I can't get you out of my head.
Get out of my head before I explode....
Get out of my head before it overloads....
