"Just Another Birthday"

 "Just Another Birthday" 

Casting Crowns 


Sixteen finds me

Blowing out candles and making wishes

And all around me 

Is everyone but the one I'm wishing for 

And he send me flowers

And gift wrapped excuses

From a daddy whose daughter

Wants to see him again


And I know

It's just another birthday 

But I guess I through 

This would be the one 

When he would call me, see me

Hold me and free me 

But it's just another birthday 

And I'll be fine 

I'll be fine 


Nineteen finds me 

And I'm wide eyed and wide open 

I gave myself away to love

But backseat promises fade like a mist

I'm screaming at the midnight air 

Everyone hears me but I don't care

My heart's clenched just like a fist 

'cause, people, I don't ask for any of this 


And I know

It's just another birthday 

But I guess I through 

This would be the one 

When he would call me, see me

Hold me and free me 

But it's just another birthday 

And I'm not fine 

I'm not fine 


In the company of strangers

In a cold and sterile room

All alone with a child inside me

And I don't know what to do 

Jesus, can You hear me 

Come and heal my brokenness

Put the pieces back together 

And be a Father to the Fatherless


Twenty one finds me 

Blowing out candles and making wishes 

And all around me

My barefoot princess twirls and sings

It's so amazing

Looking back at all God's brough us through

You are my happy birthday 

And you were born to break the chains

Now I know, I know

It's not just another birthday 

'cause I'm here, she's here

And look how far we've come

Since you've called me, saw me

Held me and freed me

Thank you, Lord, for another birthday 

And we'll be fine

We'll be fine

Bible Verses

For the director of music. Of David. A psalm.   1  You have searched me,  Lord ,      and you know me.   2  You know when I sit and when I rise;      you perceive my thoughts from afar.   3  You discern my going out and my lying down;      you are familiar with all my ways.   4  Before a word is on my tongue      you,  Lord , know it completely.   5  You hem me in behind and before,      and you lay your hand upon me.   6  Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,      too lofty for me to attain.   7  Where can I go from your Spirit?      Where can I flee from your presence?   8  If I go up to the heavens, you are there;      if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.   9  If I rise on the ...
