Meet Me Here
Words & Music by Ali Matthews © 2012 (SOCAN)
At the breaking of the dawn’s early light
or when the sun is sinking or in the middle of the night
my heart is fading from the tireless fight
I cry out, I cry out
You bear the name high above every name
Gave it all away just to carry my shame
From age to age Lord your love will remain
I cry out, I cry out
And I know you will come Yes I know you will come
To meet me here, you will meet me here
You follow my soul wherever I go
You will meet me here
You are watching if a sparrow should fall
You know my longings, no matter how small
You are my father and you will hear when I call
So I cry out, I cry out
Your loving kindness is more precious than gold
Your mercy finds us and your promise unfolds
I see you shine now. I’m coming out of the cold
and I cry out, I cry out
And I know you will come Yes I know you will come
to meet me here, you will meet me here
God you are faithful, you are able
So meet me here, you will meet me here
You follow my soul wherever I go
You will meet me here
I’ve made, oh I’ve made some big mistakes
and I fall, ya I fall so far from grace
Still You, You come right to the place where I am Just as I am
Meet me here, you will meet me here
God you are faithful, you are able
So meet me here, you will meet me here
You follow my soul wherever I go
You will meet me here

Looking Up (featuring Joel Parisien)
Words and Music by Ali Matthews © 2019 (SOCAN)
Sometimes the road is narrow
Sometimes the light is dim
Sometimes you find there ain’t no way out
of the mess you got yourself in
Maybe you got no money
Maybe you got no friends
So you’re giving up hope
Now you’re holding that rope
and you’re thinking it might be the end
Whoa - keep looking up, looking up, Ya
Whoa - keep looking up, looking up
Storming the doors of Heaven
Flooding your anger with tears
Got a poison past and a face downcast
You’ve been wrestling all of your fears
but Doubt is a thief and a liar
and Trouble it knows your name
So come find your place
you are marked by grace
and Love, it is stronger than shame
Whoa - keep looking up, looking up, Ya
Whoa - keep looking up, looking up
See the light above you
There’s someone who loves you
You are broken but you are chosen
You are intimately known
You’re a child of the Father
You are never alone, never alone, never alone
Whoa, somebody loves you, Whoa
Sometimes the road is narrow
Sometimes the light is dim
Sometimes you find there ain’t no way out
of the mess you got yourself in
Well you had a voice that fell silent
now you’re leaving your heart on the shelf
Come on, lift your eyes, look up to the skies
Believe in your beautiful self
Whoa - keep looking up, looking up, Ya
Whoa - keep looking up, looking up
(Repeat)

WIDE AWAKE
Words and Music by Ali Matthews © 2000
I can see the one I love, slowly start to slip away
And still somehow he finds the courage
To bless the gift of each new day
So, I will hold a candle - I will watch and pray
And I swear I’m going to live this moment…wide awake
I want to give away my heart, if only just to watch it break
To feel the warmth of every touch
To know the pain of every ache
And find the strength to hold on to every choice I make
I know I’ve got to live this moment…wide awake
Feel the blood running through my veins
Taste the tears running down my face
I am wide awake
I don’t want to close my eyes
And miss the chance to see you smile
I will not go to sleep if we can walk just one more mile
I will not let the darkness steal my faith away
So I know I’ve got to live this moment…wide awake
Feel the blood running through my veins
Taste the tears running down my face
I’ve got to believe… Oh I believe God doesn’t make mistakes
I am wide awake
Take some love from every breath.
If I could squeeze a little hope when there is nothing left
Until all these dreams and battles are laid to rest
Could be a famine or a feast
Could be an angel or a beast
I will not be afraid…I’m going to stay…Wide awake
Feel the blood running through my veins
Taste the tears running down my face
I’ve got to believe… I believe God doesn’t make mistakes
I am wide awake

Waiting for Zoey
Words and Music by Ali Matthews © 2019 (SOCAN)
We remember that day like a sweet summer dream
on a hot southern night, Georgia peaches and cream
knowing when she arrives, Oh the joy it will mean
We were waiting for Zoey
Oooooo oooooo oooo
Well we laughed and we dreamed through those late days of June
and we walked and we talked in the light of the moon
the cicadas they sang and the lilies, they did bloom
they were waiting for Zoey
But she’s taking, taking her own sweet time
Already breaking, breaking this old heart of mine
Sometimes you might find for a child to be born
it’s a course with the force of a wild Dixie storm
but the darkness gives way
to a glorious morning
no more waiting for Zoey
Oooooo oooooo oooo x2
Well your mama she’s kind and your daddy so true
and I promise you child, they will carry you through
When storm clouds appear there’ll be patches of blue
always waiting for Zoey
She’ll be taking, taking her own sweet time
She’ll be waking, waking this old heart of mine
We remember that day like a sweet summer dream
on a hot southern night, Georgia peaches and cream
knowing when she arrives, Oh the joy it will mean
We were waiting for Zoey
Oooooo oooooo oooo x4

In the Light / Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
Words and Music by Ali Matthews © 2012 (SOCAN) / Traditional - Public Domain
Turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in his wonderful face
and the things of earth will grow strangely dim
in the light of his glory and grace
In the light, in the light
See his glory revealed in the light
In the light, in the light
Every heart shall be healed in the light
(solo)
In the light, in the light
See his glory revealed in the light
In the light, in the light
Every heart shall be healed in the light
So turn your eyes upon Jesus
Look full in his wonderful face
and the things of earth will grow strangely dim
in the light of his glory and grace
