Doo-Doo Doo-Doo (Take Another Step) We all lose our way sometimes - Get our eyes off of the prize. I hear a voice from right behind, “Turn around and you’ll be fine.” I wanna rise to You. I don’t know what to … Doo-Doo, Doo-Doo (Take Another Step) No, we don’t always win. Then we begin again. We’re clinging tight to Him. We’re gonna make it – We’re gonna… …climb to You. I don’t know what to … Doo-Doo, Doo-Doo (Take Another Step) I wanna rise to You. Gonna climb to You. I’m gonna fly to You. I don’t know what to … Doo-Doo, Doo-Doo (Take Another Step) Then I’ll take another step.

Aunt Sarah’s family came from Dublin - She was born in ’22. Talked about the Great Depression And a neighbor who had helped them through… With apple sauce and relish jars, full of soups and salad. At 18 she decided she would make it her tradition. Aunt Sarah’s jars, they filled the hungry. Aunt Sarah’s jars, they fed the souls Of DADS & moms and scores of children Who remember every one of Aunt Sarah’s jars. Sometimes they came back washed and empty, Other times they came back full. The best of times they got paid forward To another needy family down the road. Mayonnaise & pickle jars got loaded with spaghetti and pressed into the hands of anyone who came to visit. Aunt Sarah’s jars, they filled the hungry. Aunt Sarah’s jars, they fed the souls Of DADS & moms and scores of children Who remember every one of Aunt Sarah’s jars. Aunt Sarah passed this past September The church was full of lives she touched. And her legacy is moving forward – Each mourner there took one of Aunt Sarah’s jars. Now mayonnaise & pickle jars in a hundred different houses Are pressed into the hands of anyone who comes to visit. Aunt Sarah’s jars still fill the hungry. Aunt Sarah’s jars still feed the souls Of DADS & moms and scores of children Who remember all the love in Aunt Sarah’s jars. Aunt Sarah’s jars still fill the hungry. Aunt Sarah’s jars still feed the souls Of DADS & moms and scores of children Who remember all the love in Aunt Sarah’s jars. We remember every one of Aunt Sarah’s jars. There was love in every one of Aunt Sarah’s jars.

Smile & tell me your name - and just how we know each other. Patiently… Talk to me. Tell me the stories how we first met. Patiently… Sometimes I forget who you are - Sometimes I forget what you mean to me. Why are you standing so close? Your face seems familiar but I just don’t know. Say your name, offer your hand, Remind me who you are again – ‘Cause sometimes I forget. I’m still here. My mind’s going to heaven a piece at a time. Patiently… Love me whatever I say. Please know that I’m doing the best that I can. Patiently… Sometimes I forget who you are - Sometimes I forget what you mean to me. Why are you standing so close? Your face seems familiar but I just don’t know. Say your name, offer your hand, Remind me who you are again – ‘Cause sometimes I forget. Help me believe what you’re saying is real And believe I’m still in here somewhere… Sometimes I forget who I am. Sometimes I forget what mean to you. Holding the mirror too close, My face seems familiar, but I just don’t know. Say my name, say you’re a friend, Remind me who I am again – ‘Cause sometimes I forget. I’m doing the best that I can. Sometimes I just smile and pretend That everything’s just like it’s been - But sometimes I forget.

Should’ve been working harder. Should’ve been working smarter. Should’ve been so much farther. Yeah, I should’ve been. Should’ve been taking classes. Should’ve been exercising. Should’ve been watching sunsets. Yeah, I should’ve been. When the sun comes around to start my day I hit my knees long enough to pray and say -- THANK YOU, THANK YOU! When the sun goes down on all I did, I think about all the ways I missed it and GIVE YOU – Give You all my should’ve-beens today. Should’ve been drinking iced tea. Should’ve laid off the whiskey. Should’ve been home with family. Yeah, I should’ve been. God, I … Should’ve been trusting You more. Should’ve been reading Scripture. Should’ve been so much stronger by now. Yeah, I should’ve been. When the sun comes around to start my day I hit my knees long enough to pray and say -- THANK YOU, THANK YOU! When the sun goes down on all I did, I think about all the ways I missed it and GIVE YOU – Give You all my should’ve-beens today.

When the sun goes down on all I did, I think about all the ways I missed it and GIVE YOU – Give You all my should’ve-beens today. All the good I didn’t do today. All the things I didn’t get to today. All the times I didn’t win today. Give You all my should’ve-beens today.

Shining Your light on all my darkness, Exposing lies I swear I thought were true. Rooting out my pride and unforgiveness, And every sinful, selfish attitude. Moving mountains when I trust in You, Shaping every circumstance to bring me close to You… You are working – Searching every day. You are working – Calling out each name. You are working – Changing shameful ways & saving… Oh, You are working. Proving Your love, working Your justice, For all we’ve done, what was done to us. Condemning all our wrong with perfect judgement, You paid it all when You went to that cross. Confronting everyone with love and truth, Engineering everything to draw the world to You… You are working – Searching every day. You are working – Calling out each name. You are working – Changing shameful ways & saving… Oh, You are working. Healing every willing heart, Calling every prodigal, "Come on home." Doesn’t matter what we’ve done, You’re begging every prodigal, “Please come home.” You are working – Searching every day. You are working – Calling out each name. You are working – Changing shameful ways & saving… You are working – Searching every day. You are working – Calling out each name. You are working – Changing shameful ways & saving… Oh, You are working.

In trusting and trembling, In temptings and testings, I’m clinging tightly to Your promises. In joy and in grieving, In hurting and healing, I am relying on Your faithfulness. I am depending on Your grace… You are the Lord, You are my God, There is no power formed in Heaven or Earth That can separate us. Holy and just, perfect in love, You are the One Who moved Heaven and Earth, Gave Your life to save ours. In worship and waiting, In working and resting, I’m clinging tightly to Your promises. In serving and living, In grace and forgiving, I am relying on Your faithfulness. Until I see You face-to-face, I am depending on Your grace… You are the Lord, You are my God, There is no power formed in Heaven or Earth That can separate us. Holy and just, perfect in love, You are the One Who moved Heaven and Earth, Gave Your life to save ours. You are the Lord, You are my God, There is no power formed in Heaven or Earth That can separate us. Holy and just, perfect in love, You are the One Who moved Heaven and Earth, Gave Your life to save ours. In trusting and trembling, In worship and waiting, I’m clinging tightly to Your promises.
