Protection Not Rejection (DEMO) by Stephan Ainley
[VERSE 1]
I missed the light, was late to work another time
Was not the way I planned to start the day
At times I feel the world will get the best of me
I wish that we could find another way
Stay tuned, stay tuned
[VERSE 2]
But little did I know that just on down the road
Another driver ran through their stop sign
And had I got the green he would have hit me hard
Another thankless day you saved my life
No thank you, without a thank you
[CHORUS 1]
I'm trying to live in your protection
While figuring out what that all means
When my plans fail, I know it's not rejection
You're just working behind the scenes
[VERSE 3]
I seem to have a million questions all the time
Just trying all my best to understand
Like why she'd leave or why he had to die so young?
Too much of life seems hard and so unplanned
Renew my mind, renew
[CHORUS 1]
I'm trying to live in your protection
While figuring out what that all means
When my plans fail, I know it's not rejection
You're just working behind the scenes
[CHORUS 2]
Cause I only see this one brief moment
While you're directing everything
I'm learning to let go and to follow while you're
Working behind the scenes
[BRIDGE 1]
I have to trust, I need to know
That you'll be out there paving pathways when I go
That I'm a part of your perfect plan
And you have seen me in this spot since time began
[BRIDGE 2]
I'll plan each step, one at a time
But ultimately you're the one who paints my line
You're working out all things for good
And everything turns out exactly as it should

Look to You (DEMO) by Stephan Ainley
[VERSE 1]
I am disappointed
I thought I'd have more figured out by the time I was
This old, and growing older
But while my head knows, my heart's in wander
[PRE-CHORUS]
I feel, you're closer than a lover
I know, you are like no other
I need, someone to right the wrong
You say, you will always be there
You show, that there's something bigger
You know, exactly where I belong
[CHORUS 1]
When the people in my life, just let me down
When our hearts can't seem to find the common ground
When I don't know what to put my trust into
I trust in you
[VERSE 2]
You've been there through each step
I see that now that time has passed and I'm so grateful for your
Patience with this sinner
I vow to keep on gaining ground, even if so slow
[PRE-CHORUS]
I feel, you're closer than a lover
I know, you are like no other
I need, someone to right the wrong
You say, you will always be there
You show, that there's something bigger
You know, exactly where I belong
[CHORUS 2]
When the storm won't let me see past my next step
With the scars from trips and history of regret
When my eyes don't know what to focus onto
I look to you
[PRE-CHORUS]
I feel, you're closer than a lover
I know, you are like no other
I need, someone to right the wrong
You say, you will always be there
You show, that there's something bigger
You know, exactly where I belong
[CHORUS 3]
When the world all around me is crumbling
When my compass needle keeps on spiraling
When the reasons that I sing are few
I'll sing to you
