Souvenirs - Michael O'Brien

Here in my heart

I keep a box of sentimental things

Look its overflowing

It’s my life so far

I have years and years of precious memories

To keep me going

So why am I here once more

Trying to find the courage for another day

If I stop to hear You say

My Souvenirs should remind me

That Your grace is ever near

You have always been so dear to me

My Souvenirs in looking back

Your hope dispels my fear

For Your faithfulness is clear to see

I keep a room called remember

Where I go to be with You

There my heart is thankful

It’s never too soon

Lord, I meet You there, so how can I refuse

For my soul is grateful

So why am I here once more

Doubting that You’ll see me down tomorrow’s road

When in my heart of hearts, I know

My Souvenirs should remind me

That Your grace is ever near

You have always been so dear to me

My Souvenirs in looking back

Your hope dispels my fear

For Your faithfulness is clear to see

I get so caught up in worrying 'bout my future

That I overlook the moments as they pass

In my anxious reaching for tomorrow

I may miss the joy of trusting

Or miss the peace of resting

Or miss the hope of knowing

That my faith alone will trust

My Souvenirs should remind me

That Your grace is ever near

You have always been so dear to me

My Souvenirs in looking back

Your hope dispels my fear

For Your faithfulness is clear to see

Oh-oh…

My Souvenirs should remind me

That Your grace is ever near

You have always been so dear to me, yeah, yeah

My Souvenirs in looking back

Your hope dispels my fear

For Your faithfulness is clear to see

Here in my heart

I keep a box of sentimental things

Look its overflowing
