Wakin’ up on the 3rd floor with a headache and a sore throat
Room is sticky smell is musty rather be sleepin’ on a boat
Feel so congested, feel so exhausted feel so isolated on the 3rd floor.
Each day I step toward the bathroom can’t seem to shake the smell of roast beef
two and a half weeks old. I have the fan on high still the heat is ginormous. The
thought of more guys in the bathroom I can live with
But it really makes me anxious hearin 30 plus girls take showers.
I don’t want to have to take cold water showers then I realize
it isn’t about the shower. God has given me so much and I pray that I
would never seem to lose touch with that fact.
There is a 3rd floor cloud that envelopes all of us when we wake up
from then until midnight I can see how you provide for me, after that experience
I can see what the a/c can do for me on a hot day on a warm night
smellin’ nasty takin’ showers on the 3rd floor smellin’ roast beef turned to
puddin, while the second floor smells like flowers all the girls take care of the second
floor. We clean up after ourselves we will leave the 3rd floor better than we found it.
All the fans on I think it is simply amazing that it feels like someone turned up the
furnace. I am thankful for the 3rd floor, even when I wake up with my throat sore
Then I remember what I’m here for, follow you hard core.

Everywhere I look I see time is going fast (12)

The message of the cross we are to spread now (11)
As time seems to be closing in give me strength (11)

Bridge:
The world is a magnet trying to pull us away from God (15)

More things Satan uses to try to draw us away from God(15)

Trusting you to show us how to love differently (13)

Bridge:
Take a leap of faith if you can’t see take a parachute (14)
I can’t see what is coming when my life is so unknown (14)
In the air when I am sailing forever closer to fate (14)
You will catch us in mid air You are my parachute of love (14)
Falling is much safer knowing where you will be going (14)

Chorus:
You are my parachute teach me dear Lord to jump out of the plane (15)
I remember when I am falling catch me in your arms wide (15)
Your arms hold me tight help me rest in complete security (15)
You are gentle you care for your children you are calling me home (15)
You are my loving Father who cares sacrificing your son (15)

Verse 1:
Help me to step out of the things I know so well (11)
Help me step out knowing you’re a parachute Lord (11)
Knowing I will never need to wonder no (11)

No matter what you will catch me in your love (11)
When I am falling you give me a landing (11)
You are my parachute of healing water (11)

Verse 2:
You will never let me fall to the bottom rung (12)
You are a loving compassionate father (12)
You will protect us and sustain us when all fails (12)
You will provide me with the encouragement I need (12)
When I feel no one is listening to what I say (12)
I want my life to reflect you every moment (12)
You are there as my acting parachute of love (12)
