virtue is relative at best
there's nothing worse than a sunset
when you're driving due west
and i'm afraid that my love
is gonna come up short
there is no there there
i guess i'm scared
cuz i want to have good news to report
every time i come up for air
now i'm cruising through a chromakey blue sky
and i know that in an hour or three
the sun is gonna be in my eyes
and i know that sometimes all i can see
is how i feel
like the whole world is on the other side
of a dirty windshield
and i'm tryin to see through the glare
yes i'm struggling just to see what's there
the one person who really knows me best
says i'm like a cat
yeah the kind of cat that you just can't pick up
and throw into your lap
no, the kind that doesn't mind being held
only when its her idea
yeah, the kind that feels what she decides to feel
when she is good and ready to feel it
and now i am prowling through the backyard
and i am hiding under the car
i have gotten out of everything
ive gotten into so far
i eat when i am hungry
and i travel alone
and just outside the glow of the house
is where i feel most at home
but in the window you sometimes appear
VERSE 1:
You led me to the cross
And I saw the face of mercy in that place of love
You opened up my eyes
To believe Your sweet salvation
Where I'd been so blind
Now that I'm living in Your all forgiving love
My every road leads to the cross
CHORUS:
Jesus, keep me near the cross
I won't forget the love You've shown
Savior, teach me of the cross
I won't forget the love
I won't forget the love You've shown
VERSE 2:
And there's an empty tomb
That tells me of Your resurrection and my life in You
The stone lies rolled away
Nothing but those folded grave clothes
Where Your body lay
Now that I'm living as a risen child of God
I can remember on that day
When my life almost slipped away
Though I knew, I wasn't sober, You decided it's not over
'Cause You knew my life was more than I could see
I look back upon it all
You've been merciful to me
I look back upon it all, upon it all
'Cause You've been merciful to me
It was so hard to understand
Nothing was going like I planned
I should have laid it all upon You but I took my pain out on You
But You looked beyond what was to what could be
I look back upon it all
You've been merciful to me
And while I was giving up on me
Your patience was shaping my life story
You worked a miracle I know
I don't deserve
Not a moment should pass before I say
You never took Your love away
January through December, I will always remember
That the grace You gave me changed my destiny
I look back upon it all
You've been merciful to me
I look back upon it all
You've been merciful to me
I look back upon it all
In a world that seems so fake
Artificial everything
Oh, I just want be real
I gotta say how I feel, can't wait
Always looking at myself
Never liking what I see
I never gave me the chance
Never knew what I really could be
Better than living a lie
It's better than wearing a disguise
(Take a chance on you)
You just be you
(Take a chance on you)
I can't say the world has changed
They still judge by what they see
Though I can't help what they say
I know who's inside of me
It's okay to take that chance
Try your possibilities
(Possibilities)
No one can do what you do
Or stop all the things you can be
(They can't even stop what you're gonna be)
And it's better than living a lie
(Living a lie)
It's better than wearing a disguise
(Take a chance on you)
You just be you
(Take a chance on you, on you)
The grass is always green on the other side
(It's on the other side)
It's when you're looking through your insecure eyes
(You're looking from [Incomprehensible])
And it's better than living a lie
(Living a lie)
So much better than wearing a disguise
(Take a chance on you)
You just be you
(You just be you)
You just be you
(You just be you)
It's better
(Better)
Better than living a lie
(Living a lie)
So much better than wearing a disguise, take a chance
(Take a chance on you)
Come on and take it
(Take a chance on you)
You can do it, yes, you can
(Take a chance on you)
You are my strength when I am weak
You are the treasure that I seek
You are my all in all
Seeking You like a precious jewel
Lord, to give up I'd be a fool
You are my all in all
Jesus, Lamb of God
Holy is Your name
(repeat)
Taking my cross, my sin, my shame
Raising again I praise Your name
You are my all in all
When I fall down you pick me up
When I run dry you fill my cup
Sleigh Bells ring are ya' listenin
In the lane snow is glistenin'
A beautiful sight we're happy tonight
Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland
Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is the new bird
He sings a love song
As we go along
Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say "are you married?"
We'll say "No man,
But you can do the job when you're in town!"
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unfraid the plans that we've made
Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland
(instrumental)
(Oh Yea!)
Hey come let's go out into the snow
To a Winter Wonderland
Hats, Gloves, Boots, Ya'll
Better make sure you've got em' all
Please take my persuasion
'Cause outside everybody's havin' fun!
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with Mr. Snowman
Until the other children come around
(Until the alligators knock him down)
Knock him down
Over the ground there's a mantle of white
A heaven of diamonds shine down through the night
Our hearts will be thrillin'
In spite of a chillin'
Let's go walkin' in the snow
In this wonderland (Come on everybody)
Let's go!
We're walkin in a Winter Wonderland
VERSE 1:
Looking back on time,
Seeking to remind myself of all Your mercies,
I can testify, on every page of life,
Your grace just keeps unfolding and unfolding.
CHORUS A:
You made me fruitful in the land of my suffering, Father.
You made me hopeful in the place of no hope;
Poured oil of gladness on the wounds of my struggling, and You
Poured oil of healing on the depths of my soul.
CHORUS B:
When I needed a Saviour, You were there, You were there.
When I needed a Healer, You were there, You were there.
When I needed a my Father, You were there, You were there,
You are here, You are here.
VERSE 2:
Ever since the day
I looked upon the cross I've realised Your mercy.
For every stage of life, sweet and bitter times,
VERSE 1:
Lord, I am not my own, no longer my own,
Living now for You, and everything I think
All I say and do is for You, my Lord.
VERSE 2:
Now, taking up the cross, walking on Your paths,
Holding out Your truth running in this race,
Bowing every day, all for You, my Lord.
CHORUS:
And what I have vowed I will make good.
Every promise made will be fulfilled
'Till the day I die, every day I live
Is for You, is for You, is for You,
Is for You, is for You, is for You,
VERSE 3:
Earth has nothing I desire that lives outside of You,
I'm consumed with You. Treasures have no hold,
Why do they hate me
What did I do to them
They always tried to break me
One time I called them friends
And now the years go by
And everyone leads a different life
They look at me and my beliefs
Tell me to my face I'm a different guy
What happened to Joe
We will glorify the King of Kings
We will glorify the Lamb
We will glorify the Lord of Lords
Who is the great I Am
King Jehovah reigns in majesty
We will bow before His throne
We will worship Him in righteousness
We will worship Him alone
Hallelujah to the King of Kings
Hallelujah to the Lamb
Hallelujah to the Lord of Lords
Who is the great I Am
He is Lord of heaven, Lord of earth
He is Lord of all who live
He is Lord of the universe
As little children
We would dream of Christmas morn'
Of all the gifts and toys
We knew we'd find
But we never realized
A baby born one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our lives
We were the reason
That He gave His life
We were the reason
That He suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
As the years went by
We learned more about gifts
The giving of ourselves
And what that means
On a dark and cloudy day
A man hung crying in the rain
All because of love, all because of love
I've finally found the reason for living
It's in giving every part of my heart just to Him
In all that I do every word that I say
I'll be giving my all just for Him, for Him
We are the reason
That He gave His life
We are the reason that
He suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all that He could give
To show us the reason to live
Verse 1:
I know that life can bring you down (ahaha__oo)
Making you, then breaking you
Til you feel
Like your losing this fight
But that's alright
Honey child, stand your ground______
B Verse:
Ready, aim, fire
In JESUS name, we're gonna go higher
(You better get dressed to face the enemy)

Chorus:
Get up
And put your war clothes on
Take _back- everything
God gave to you
Get up
And put your war clothes on
The darkest hour's just before the day
Verse 2:
We're gonna win this fight we're in__
(For the weapons that we go use are not carnal, ooo, oo,oo, oohoo)
Not made by man
But mighty through the master's hands
(Everybody's gonna know)
Whose in command______
B Verse
Chorus
I paint rainbows in the sky
Speak the mountains tall
Draw the rivers deep and wide
Cause the rain to fall
But I can't heal that broken place
or dry the tears that wet your face
And there's some pain I can't erase
Til you, til you believe
I can take the raging storm
Tell it peace be still (be still)
Cause every angry wave in life
Must obey My will
But faith is so much more than sight
And I can't make this work out right
Or help you get to sleep at night,
til you...
til you believe Me
And trust Me
And know Me well enough to know...
That I'm big enough
And I'm strong enough to be everything you need
I can make a man from clay
Breathe and part the sea
Make a universe with words I say
Outlive eternity!
But I can't win your marriage back
Or get your wayward child on track
or give you all the things you lack
Til you oooooo
Til you
Helpless, not really much that I can do
Hopeless, needing something to pull me through
Clueless, and the answer is not in view
Careless, should have known that it all begins in You
CHORUS:
Through Your name
I can do all things, through Your love
You strengthen me
Through Your name
I can do all things
Through Your name
Do it all through your name
Fighting, surmounting impossibilities
Feeling, feeling the joy of victory
So I'm not afraid
Not ashamed to praise Your name
(Now I'm) knowing that You're gonna make a way for me
BRIDGE:
Blind men start seeing
(I can see that)
Lame men start running (running)
Deaf men start hearing (they're gonna hear)
At the sound of your name Lord
Demons lose power (it's all gone)
Strongholds are broken (and power)
Power is spoken
When we speak through your name

Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that santa's on his way
He's bringing lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple wish
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many way
Merry Christmas to you
They know that santa's on his way
He's bringing lots of toys and goods on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple wish
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways

So glad, You paid the price for my eternal life
Your grace You send, gives me strength
When I'm feelin' low and it feels so good to know
So good to know that You love me
And to know, You feel the way You do
Wanna tell everybody how You make me feel
Gotta let it show, said it's so good to know
So good to know that You love me
And to know, You feel the way You do
Wanna tell everybody how You make me feel
Gotta let it show, said it's so good to know
You're what I was in search of, so glad I finally found Your love
You keep showing me, showing me
To know You is to love You, to love You is to know You
Won't say that I told You so, but You know, You know, You know
So good to know that You love me
And to know, You feel the way You do
Wanna tell everybody how You make me feel
Gotta let it show, said it's so good to know
So good to know that You love me
And to know, You feel the way You do
Wanna tell everybody how You make me feel
Gotta let it show, said it's so good to know
So good to know that You love me
And to know, You feel the way You do
Wanna tell everybody how You make me feel
Silent night holy night

O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him

Each step I take from You I see
Who I really am
I know the good in me is only
Your reflection
I look behind me and I see You
No where in sight
I look down, my hands are bound
I can't even praise You and
I'm crying out to You
So come and rescue me
I'm here on bended knee
And I'm crying out to you
All I really, really want is to be free
So take my hand here I am
Oh come and free me
Take my hand here I am
Oh come and rescue me
I've drifted so far
Can't even see the shore
I've been lost in the waves
But haven't been fighting
I'm sinking fast
Oh is there an end to this
I can't breathe I'm In so deep
But You can save me
I'm crying out to You
I'm drowning in my decisions
And I'm frustrated and I'm
Disappointed
It's my world You see and I want out
So come and rescue me
I'm here on bended knee
And I'm crying out to you
All I really, really want is to be free
So take my hand here I am
Oh come and free me
Take my hand here I am
Oh come and rescue me
So come and rescue me
I'm here on bended knee
And I'm crying, I'm crying
I'm crying out to You
I'm crying, I'm crying
I'm crying out to You
Verse One:
Its those quiet times, quiet times
They are so precious to me
That's when you tell me those secret things and all you want me to be.
Its those quiet times, quiet times
Alone together, just you and me, my LORD

Together there ain't nothing we can't do. No they can't take them away from me, no. No they can't take them away from me.

I awoke on a beautiful day
I stepped outside to see the sun shining down on me
I take a big deep breath and think
"There's no other place that I wanna be"
I look at the sky, the grass, and the trees
And all the neat things living in the sea
Ask myself, "How could this be?"
God made this so great for me
I wanna see just what it's like
To catch a glimpse of paradise
Can't even fathom the scene
Imagine all the possibilities
All the things we've never dreamed
Will be ours to touch and [sorry, can't figure it out]
Forget the riches in front of me
I have my faith, that all that I need
It's so easy I just want you to see
I called up Karima, Heather and told 'em that
Lately, I've been feelin' that
We need a little somethin' we can grove to
You know somethin' with some bump that don't offend you
'Cause I hear what it is that they're playin'
But I don't really like what they're sayin'
But I think we can give 'em what they need
Wanna take a chance join me
We wanna give you somethin' to make ya dance
Maybe make you wanna clap your hands
Make you wanna catch a circumstance
But first you gotta understand
This ain't 'bout no relationships
Not the kinda party that be poppin' Cris
All that bling will just leave it where it is
Only God's in this
Now we gon' take you to another place
Where it's all good if you're stayin' late
But if you wanna get inside
You gotta give some praise
Gotcha guaranteed you never felt this way
Got you lookin' forward to every Saturday
Still spreadin' the word on Thursday
Don't it make you wanna go on
We wanna give you somethin' to make ya dance
Maybe make you wanna clap your hands
Make you wanna catch a circumstance
But first you gotta understand
This ain't 'bout no relationship
Not the kinda party that be poppin' Cris
All that bling will just leave it where it is
Only God's in this
Said it feels good to my soul
Just like a fire that won't go cold
Oh and it'll give joy unspeakable
Makes life more meaningful
If you're curious 'bout what I say
Then just walk this way
We wanna give you somethin' to make ya dance
Maybe make you wanna clap your hands
Make you wanna catch a circumstance
But first you gotta understand
This ain't 'bout no relationship
Not the kinda party that be poppin' Cris
All that bling will just leave it where it is
Only God's in this
We wanna give you somethin' to make ya dance
Maybe make you wanna clap your hands
Make you wanna catch a circumstance
But first you gotta understand
This ain't 'bout no relationship
Not the kinda party that be poppin' Cris
All that bling will just leave it where it is
Some say it's rules and regulations
And trying to always be right
No room for mistakes in the choices we make
For only the strong survive
But it's not about perfect performance
Or resolution of will
It's all about surrender
Giving up
Being still
It's only for the weak
For the faint of heart
Those driven to their knees
Those who live with scars
There's power from beyond
We're certain where it's from
And that's our source of strength
Before we follow Christ
We need to be advised
It's only for the weak
He welcomes the worn and the weary
All who are wounded by sin
And just as we are, we can fall in His arms
Rest and find shelter in Him
Seems like each day as a battle
With burdens and struggles to face
And only in our losing
Do we truly see how much we've gained T
He Father always starts
Within a willing heart
Open to how He moves
As His spirit is poured
He will do so much more
Seasons may change, passions may fade
But one thing remains
Fashions they pass, here for a day
But one thing remains
I'll always love
I'll always love
I'll always love Your name
Troubles may come, hardship and pain
But one thing remains.
And when I am weak, when I am frail
One thing remains
I'll always love
I'll always love
I'll always love Your name
You'll always be
You'll always be
You'll always be my praise
Just as the sun will rise up everyday
And as the dawn will always find a way
And oceans never cease to bear their waves
I'll always find a way to bring You praise
Al-ways, Jesus, Al-ways... always
Seasons may change, passions may fade
But one thing remains
Fashions they pass, here for a day
But one thing remains
I'll always love
I'll always love, love
I'll always love Your name
You'll always be
You'll always be
You'll always be my praise
Just as the sun will rise up everyday (ALWAYS)
And as the dawn will always find a way
And oceans never cease to bear their waves
I'll always find a way to bring You praise
Al-ways, Jesus, Al-ways
Al-ways, Jesus, Always always always ALWAYS!
Just as the sun will rise up everyday (ALWAYS)
Just as the dawn will always find a way
And oceans they never cease to bear their waves
I'll always find a way I'll always find a way to bring You
Praise, always, Your praise,
ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS,
Al-ways, Jesus, Al-ways
Al-ways, Jesus, Always always always ALWAYS
Jesus draw me close
Closer Lord to You
Let the world around me fade away
Jesus draw me close
Closer Lord to You
For I desire to worship and obey
I, I just read your letter
I can't tell you how I feel
I wish that I could make everything okay
But I know that I'm miles and miles away
But I'll be on my face for you
Praying that the sun will shine again
She'll spend one more night on a dirty floor
Waiting one more day to run out the door
And she's hopin', praying', she's searching for something
There's gotta be something
When, when you're feeling all alone
And everything you've ever known
Leaves you stranded get out now
No place to go
When you feel confusion take your hand
You want to bleed to heal your pain
Look up now the truth will set you free
She'll spend one more night on a dirty floor
Waiting one more day to run out the door
And she's hopin', praying', she's searching for something
There's gotta be something, gotta be
One more night on a dirty floor
When you feel like you can't take it anymore
Hold on, hear me, you're not a mistake
God has been there for you
And you feel...
And it's all that you can take
When you're mixed up inside
You can't tell the truth from the lies
When you cover up your face
'Cause they're screamin' and yellin' at you
And I'm praying
One more night on a dirty floor
Waiting one more day to run out the door
And she's hopin', praying', she's searching for something
There's gotta be something, gotta be
One more night on a dirty floor
When you feel like you can't take it anymore
Hold on, hear me, you're not a mistake
God has a plan for you
You're not alone
You're not alone
One more night
O Sacred King, O Holy King
How can I honour You rightly,
Honour that's fit for Your name?
O Sacred friend, O Holy friend

Friendship instead of disgrace.

Yet You welcome souls like me
And with the blessing of Your Father's heart

Without God on your side

So is this what you wanted
Is this what you tried so hard to be
To play the part of what I'd longed for
You'd never prove yourself to me
It's just a wall of glass you've built around you
Cause you and I could be a pair of aces
I've never lost a hand
All it takes is just one word and grace is
Your wish and my command
It's just one word just one sigh
Just one heart with no alibis
I know how clowns are frightening
It seems the smiles have soaked through to their minds
Is this the part where you get scared and run away
On your way out don't forget your lines
Please believe me when I tell you that I love you
'Cuz you and I could be a pair of aces
I've never lost a hand
All it takes is just one word and grace is
Your wish and my command
It's just one word just one sigh
Just one heart with no alibis
And all I have and all I want
And all you can give me
Well I can do without you
I can do without you
I can do without this pain
But love stands in my way
You and I could be a pair of pilgrims
Torn and bruised and full
All it takes is just one word
And a broken heart is beautiful
Just one word one sigh
Just one heart and no alibis
Just one love just one life
Just one mind with no alibis
Just one you just one me just the truth
Cause there is nothing else to see
Just one heart with no alibis
You say you don't care what I have to say
You made your mind up anyway
You've been hypnotized, mesmerized
You've fallen for their lies
Believing the shadows are sunshine
You left the truth behind
What if tomorrow
Your plastic world it fades away for sure
What if tomorrow
Your plastic world it fades away to blue
Hey, hey it's time to wake up
Hey, hey it's time to see
It's time to get off this merry go round
You buy a smile a day to put upon your shelf
Look in the mirror, you're somebody else
You've been taken by their disguise
And all you satisfy
Believing your eyes for so long
Oh, you're so blind
What if tomorrow
Your plastic world it fades away for sure
What if tomorrow
Your plastic world it fades away to blue
Hey, hey it's time to wake up
Hey, hey it's time to see
It's time to get off this merry go round
Hey, hey it's time to wake up
Hey, hey it's time to see
It's time to get off this merry go round
We're spinning around and around and around
Around and around and
Around and around and
(Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na)
I can remember on that day
When my life almost slipped away
Though I knew I wasn't sober you decided it's not over
'Cause You knew my life was more than I could see (ooh)
I look back upon it all (ooh)
You've been merciful to me
I look back upon it all (upon it all)
'Cause You've been merciful to me
It was so hard to understand
Nothing was going like I planned
I should have laid it all upon You but I took my pain out on You
But You looked beyond what was to what could be
I look back upon it all
(You've been) You've been merciful to me (yea)
(Bridge)
And while I was giving up on me
Your patience was shaping my life story
You worked a miracle I know I don't deserve
(Na na na na na na na na na na ooh)
Not a moment should pass before I say
You never took Your love away (ooh)
January through December
(I will always) remember
That the grace You gave me changed my destiny
I look back upon it all
You've been merciful to me
(I look back upon it all) I look back upon it all
You've been merciful to me
I look back upon it all
O come, O come Emmanuel And ransom captive Israel
Away ina manger No crib for a bed The little Lord Jesus Lay down
His sweet head The stars in the sky Look down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus Asleep on the hay Asleep on the hay
O little town of Bethlehem How still we see thee lie Above thy deep
And dreamless sleep The silent stars go by Yet in thy dark streets
Shineth The everlasting light The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight Are met in thee tonigt Tonight
Silent night Holy night All is calm All is bright Round you virgin
Mother and child Holy infant so tender and mild Sleep in heavenly
Peace Sleep in heavenly peace In heavenly peace Be near me
Lord Jesus I ask Thee to stay Close by me forever And love me
I pray Bless all the dear children In Thy tender care And take
I really need a friend
Here I am again
Bringing you my mistakes
Make me something new
Look inside my heart
Its tearing me apart
No way I can make it up to you
If I fall down
I feel a hand behind me pull me up
If I turn around
And see you there agaian
When my world is crumblin'
When my feet are stumblin'
The very thought is humblin'
You love me like you do
How Can I be worth it?
I'm so far from perfect
I know I don't deserve this
But you love me like you do
Hard for me to know
Why you love me so
Tell me when I act like this
Why you stick around
I'm in need of you
One thing Lord is true
I really never meant to let you down
If I run away
And Hear your tender voice call my name
If I turn around and see you
Smile agaian
When my world is crumblin'
When my feet are stumblin'
The very thought is humblin'
You love me like you do
How Can I be worth it?
I'm so far from perfect
I know I don't deserve this
"Lord, I Lift My Hands"
[Verse 1:]
Miracle after miracle,
I can't count the times You undergirded me.
You loosed the chains and removed the shame,
You kept my mind from hurting.
Lord, I thank You.
Lord, I thank You.
Lord, I thank You.
Lord, I thank You,
for You're worthy to be praised;
I magnify Your name.
[Chorus 1:]
Lord, I lift my hands, I bless Your name.
I look back and see
where You brought me from.
Through the good and bad,
You remain the same;
I praise Your name.
[Verse 2:]
So many tears fall,
just hearing Your name.
My Lord and Savior,
My God and King.
How I love Your name,
It's the sweetest name I know;
Lord, I lift my hands to Thee.
[Chorus 1]
[Chorus 2:]
Lord, I lift my hands,
I bless Your name.
I look back and see
where You bought me from;
Lord, I bow down to worship You,
Lord, I magnify Your name.
[Ending:]
Lord, I magnify Your name.
VERSE 1:
O Jesus son of God , so full of grace and truth
The Father's saving Word, so wonderful are you
The Angels longed to see, and prophets searched to find
The glory we have seen revealed
VERSE 2:
You shone upon the earth, but who will under stand?
You came unto Your own, but who will recog nise?
Your birth was prophesied, for You were the Messiah
Who came and walked upon the Earth
Your glory we have seen, the one and only King
And now You're living in our hearts
CHORUS:
Light of the world, light of the world
Light of the world, You shine upon us
VERSE 3:
In You all things were made and nothing without You
In heaven and on earth all things are held in You
And yet You became flesh, living as one of us
Under the shadow of the cross
Where, through the blood you shed, You have made peace again
Peace for a world that God so loves
PRE-CHORUS:
And yet You became flesh, living as one of us
Under the shadow of the cross
Where, through the blood you shed, You have made peace again

That love's the greatest gift
That we could ever give.....

I can hear You calling In a whisper
You say so much
In a dream I'm falling
But I awaken within Your love and I find You waiting
I find You, arms stretching open
My will is breaking
Lord, I've had enough ... I'm giving it up
So let Your love
Take my heart make it strong
Take my life from now on I'm running out of hope
Running out of strength
So let Your love take over me I have been unchanging
I have seen my world spinning by
Only You can save me
From the foolishness of my pride, so
Come find me waiting
Come find me, heart reaching upward
My will is fading
Lord, I've had enough ... I'm giving me up
Come and find me waiting
Come and make me strong
Come and lead me on
Come set my heart free
Let the Redeemed

Never alone, never alone, alone.
My every need he supplies, my father cares that's why, I don't have to worry, I don't have to worry.
If you have some problems in your life that you can't solve, just remember the one who loves all, and he's right there when you call. When you call.
Repeat Chorus
He'll never leave or forsake you, he's always right their by your side.
Your every need he supplies, the father cares that's why.
You don't have to worry, no. Your burdens you won't bear alone. Even in the darkest night, he's sure to be your guiding light.
You've put a new song in my mouth
It is a hymn of praise to You
Jus-tice and mercy are its theme
And I will live it back to You
The kind of fast You've chosen, Lord It must reach out
To broken lives and to the poor So change me, Lord
I know You are the orphan's hope
I know You are the widow's song
O Lord, You're showing me what's on You're heart ( Chorus )
Lord, I wont bring an empty song It's meaningless
Without compassion in my life And holiness
You're Father were no father lives
And to the lonely You're a friend
O Lord, You're showing me what's on You're heart ( Chorus )
I know You are the orphan's hope
I know You are the widow's song
You're Father were no father lives
And to the lonely You're a friend
Come and remember the manger
And the promise that is born today
Won't you look in the eyes of the baby boy
I wonder why the Lord of creation
Would come to me in such a way
And the song they heard the angels sing
Is still echoing
Repeat the sounding ...
Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Joy, let your heart prepare Him room
Joy, we receive our King
And heaven and nature sing
Heaven and nature
Heaven and nature sing
Stop in the hurry of Christmas
And listen for the angels' song
Stand in the quiet and hear His voice
In your heart hold onto Jesus
For the hope He brought is living on
And the song that warmed the winter's night
Still changes lives
Repeat the sounding ... *He rules the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
All of earth and heaven sing
Joy to the world, joy to the world, joy to the world
The Lord is come
Joy to the world, joy to the world, joy to the world
The Lord is come
Joy to the world the Savior reigns
Joy, let the rocks and hills proclaim
Joy, we receive our King
And heaven and nature sing
Today a child is born on earth
Today a child
Is born on earth

Shines everywhere

Salvation

God has come

Heavenly child in a manger

On this day

His birth

When I was a kid
Puzzles were the best
You took a great memory and then you
Tore 'em all to shreds
Picking up the pieces
Remember where they fell
Couldn't find that one last piece to fill
That empty well
Veins are runnin' dry
Confusion in my mind
Where's that one last piece, man, I think
I'm going blind
I'm sick of this jigsaw
I think I'm cracking up
Why can't I find the piece
That's lacking in my guts
The top is off the box is gone
The puzzles laid out on the floor
I've held the piece in my hand
I know I've seen it here before
Empty space, incomplete
Is the puzzle of the soul
If I search on my knees I know I'll find
The peace that fills the hole
Searching through the what-if's
What about the maybe's
I think about the time that's spent
Trying to separate these
Driven to the brink
Maybe pushing crazy
I have seen the enemy and the enemy is me
I can't fight any longer
The battle's already won
If I only saw it earlier
How could I have been so dumb
The piece was in the sky
Reflected in my eyes
Jesus paid the ransom with His blood
Said, He rescued me and He washed my sins away
Jesus paid the ransom with His blood
Said, He rescued me and He washed my sins away
He forgave me when my life was lost
Jesus paid the cost and He saved me
He made me whole and restored my soul
He is always right on time
And He loves me inspite of my mistakes
That's why I say
I'm no longer heavy hearted, I ain't gotta cry no more
Every single day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before
I'm trustin' in His word, I'm leanin'
On the everlasting arms, I'm joyful in His grace recievin'
The burden of my sin is gone
Jesus paid the ransom with His blood
Said, He rescued me and He washed my sins away
Jesus paid the ransom with His blood
Said, He rescued me and He washed my sins away
I was on the verge of giving in, searching for the light
I tried to go my own way but I just ended up lonely
Just when I gave up, thought that all was lost
I found my redemption at the cross
That's why I say
I'm no longer heavy hearted, I ain't gotta cry no more
Every single day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before
I'm trustin' in His word, I'm leanin'
On the everlasting arms, I'm joyful in His grace recievin'
The burden of my sin is gone
Jesus paid the ransom with His blood
Said, He rescued me and He washed my sins away
Jesus paid the ransom with His blood
Said, He rescued me and He washed my sins away
Jesus paid the ransom with His blood
Said, He rescued me and He washed my sins away
Jesus paid the ransom with His blood
Said, He rescued me and He washed my sins away
He paid it all, He paid it all
He paid it all, He paid it all
He paid it all, paid it all, paid it all
Jesus paid the ransom with His blood
Said, He rescued me and He washed my sins away
Jesus paid the ransom with His blood
Jesus, name above all names
Beautiful Savior, Living Word
Emmanuel, God is with us
Blessed redeemer, glorious Lord
You are my wonderful God
You are my wonderful Lord
Lord, You are more precious than silver
Lord, You are more costly than gold
Lord, You are more beautiful than diamonds
One thing my heart is set upon
One thing that I would ask
To know You, Lord, as close as one
Could hope to on this earth
Intimacy
O Jesus, intimacy
My treasure will be, O Jesus
Your intimacy
To look upon Your beauty, Lord
Your glory and Your heart
To know You close, and closer still
Wach day upon this earth
Lord, since the day I saw You first
My soul was satisfied
And yet because I see in part
Have you ever wished upon a star
You could be someone else
Besides who you are
Have you ever wished upon a star
You could wake up and find yourself dreaming again
Oh I've been there before
When I kept running from myself
All I could do was say
I'm stuck in between the walls that confine me
Won't You let me out
When I let go and let You take control
I give You everything, everything I am
Have you ever wondered why you
Find yourself looking in the mirror again
Oh and nothings changed you're still the same
You're picking up the pieces you tossed in the wind
They're coming back again
Oh I've been there before
When I kept running from myself
All I could do was say
I'm stuck in between the walls that confine me
Won't You let me out
When I let go and let You take control
I give You everything, everything I am
Oh, I put my trust, I put my hope in You my God
Oh, it's not this way
It's not that way
I'm finding for myself
It's not this way
It's not that way, away
I'm stuck in between the walls that confine me
Won't You let me out
When I let go and let You take control
I give You everything, everything I am
And I'll wait for You
Don't cry for me
No, I've never been one to shoulder the weight of the world
'Cause I believe
This is here and now, but it's not my home
There's a hope beyond what my eyes can see
And there's a place that He's preparing for me
Nothings gonna keep us here
We'll go a different way
It'll be alright
From the other side we'll see it clear
On a different day
In A Different Light
Of the twists and turns of the road that we're on, just believe
The'll come a day
When our faith turns to sight, and we'll see His face
While we're here the heartache's hard to ignore
Now is the season for healing
Deeply we need to see God's mercy revealing
Where we have fallen from His way
For we know He gives hope to the humble
Gives light in the darkness
And grace when we stumble
Let us call on His name together
Knowing He will say ... If My people pray
And reach for Me with hearts that are broken
I will not forget what I've spoken
Come and seek My face
And heaven will rain Rivers of My grace overflowing
Night and day My ears will be open
If My people pray Now is the day to awaken
To pray with conviction
For the souls of the nation
So let us call on His name
Whose faithful promise still remains ..
If My people pray
(If My people who are called by My name)
And reach for Me with hearts that are broken
(Humble themselves and pray)
I will not forget what I've spoken
Come and seek My face (Seek Me)
And heaven will rain (If My people who are called by My name)
Rivers of My grace overflowing (Turn from their wicked ways)
Night and day My ears will be open
If My people pray
Let us not grow weary as we wait for the day
When the light turns our night into morning
On our knees, calling Your name as we lift our hearts to heaven Yeah,
Some can write a sonnet
To describe in silvery words
The rising and the setting of the sun
Some can paint a picture
In shades of vibrant color
It almost looks like heaven when they're done
Lord, when I try to speak from my heart
I don't know where to start
When it comes to You I'm speechless
Nothing holds a candle to the wonder of Your love
I'm amazed by Your grace
Your forgiving embrace
And I'm finding words could never be enough
I'm speechless
I've tried to write the song
I've searched my heart for phrases
But they only catch a glimpse of all You are
If I lived a thousand lifetimes
I'd never come close to saying
Enough about the hope that I found in Your arms
'Cause when I try to speak from my heart
I can't figure out why You love me so
When I strayed away, oh, You held me close
I can't understand why Your love is free
You keep on lovin' me into my destiny, oh, I've gotta
Gotta worship You for who You are

I just gotta give You all the praise

Bridge:
People let me down,
Player Haters all around,
So tell me how you like me now,
I survived my wilderness
I still can't believe
That you chose me.
Chorus:
I can't believe you chose me
I can't believe you loved me
Even though im not worthy
I can't believe you saw me
I can't believe you chose me
Lord im thankful that you chose me
So many years I felt,
I just can't help myself,
And used excuses just like
Moses at the burning bush,
Go set my people free,
Thats what you said to me,
And as you go just like the
Lepers I'll deliever thee.

Hillary says she found Jesus in her closet
Hillary said it didn't fit..
Hillary is scared of nothing
At least nothing she'll admit..
Hillary has a lovely smile
Through the haze of hillary's cigarettes
Jesus says all I want is to love her
But she won't believe me yet..
Here I am with nothing left to say
How can I even speak?
All my dreams
Life scattered like ashes beneath my feet
Can you see the pain behind the smiles
The tears run down my face
Will the sun ever shine on me again?
Where can I hide, oh, oh?
Where can I hide, oh, oh?
Where can I hide, oh, oh?
I will hide my soul in Jesus
I will rest my heart in Him
When the storms of life rush over me
I will not let them in
There will be no pain in heaven
But for now and until then
I will hide my soul in Jesus
Now I know there's nothing I can do
Nothing that I can say
You alone are the anchor of my soul
Don't let me slip away
Can you see all the pain behind my smile
The tears run down my face?
Will the sun ever shine on me again?
When the music fades
And all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless your heart
I'll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the ways things appear
You're looking into my heart
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
All about You, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus
King of endless worth
No one could express
How much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours
Every single breath
I'll bring You more than just a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
All about You, Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus
Its all about you
Lord hear the music of my heart
Hear all the pourings of my soul
Songs telling of a life of love
Jesus this is all for you
You've become the ruler of my heart
You've become the lover of my soul
Youve become the Saviour of this life
You are everything to me
Oh now Jesus Jesus I will pour my praise on you
Gonna worship worship
Demonstarte my love for you
May I come to be a blessing to your heart
Jesus Jesus who can tell how wonderful you are
How wonderful you are
Oh how wonderful you are x3
Youre the healer
Youre the teacher
Youre the true and living one
Youre my hope now and my glory
Youre the lifter of my head
Youre the first your the last
Youre the birght and morining star
Is it somebody on a corner or someone on a subway
Or a baby with a baby selling her body for money
I know that you've seen them a relative or a good friend
Childhood dreams been shattered thinkin' that life don't matter
When your hearts been wounded tell me who can you turn to
Do you try to improve it, or accept, what your'e goin' through
Tell me what were you thinkin', tell me what you've become
You feel yourself sinkin' and you know that you need some
(Healin')
Tell me what's goin' on, look at the world today
I know we need some
(Healin')
All of these broken hearts people torn apart
I know there lookin' for

Searchin' for love's embrace in the wrong place
I know we need
(Healin')
But it's somethin' that only He provides
It might hit you when you're sleepin' or when you're lookin' in the mirror
It's an overwhelming feelin' that you need Him nearer
And I know that you need Him, look at your situation
Take his hand and follow, have no hesitation.
When your hearts been wounded tell me who can you turn to
Do you try to improve it, or accept, what your'e goin' through
Tell me what were you thinkin', tell me what you've become
You feel yourself sinkin' and you know that you need some
(Healin')
Tell me what's goin' on, look at the world today
I know we need some
(Healin')
All of these broken hearts people torn apart
I know there lookin' for

First verse
I don't wanna sit and think
About all the things that weigh me down
Not when I know God has been good
Times when no one else understood
Since I put it in the Masters hands
Now I can live again
I don't know why He loves me so
But there's one thing I know
When I think on the things that He's done for me
Danger ahead, that I could not see
My soul cries, "Hallelujah"
Without Him, where would I be?
He's been good, anybody else feel this way
Can anybody else help me say, He's always been so good to me
Well you might as well face the facts, ain't nobody ever had your back
Not like that, He's been so good to me
I'm sure you know
Just what I mean when I say
God has been good
He's giving mercy everyday
Since I put it in the Masters hand
Now I can live again
I don't know why He loves me so
But there's one thing I know
When I think on the things that He's done for me
Danger ahead, that I could not see
My soul cries, "Hallelujah"
Without Him, where would I be?
He's been good, anybody else feel this way
Can anybody else help me say, He's always been so good to me
Well you might as well face the facts, ain't nobody ever had your back
Not like that, He's been so good to me
Anybody else feel this way
Can anybody else help me say, He's always been so good to me
Well you might as well face the facts, ain't nobody ever had your back
Not like that, He's been so good to me
Yeah, if He's been so good to me

When I think on the things that He's done for me
Danger ahead, that I could not see

Without Him, where would I be?
He's been good, anybody else feel this way
Can anybody else help me say, He's always been so good to me
Well you might as well face the facts, ain't nobody ever had your back
Not like that, He's been so good to me
Anybody else feel this way
Can anybody else help me say, He's always been so good to me
Well you might as well face the facts, ain't nobody ever had your back
Not like that, He's been so good to me
If God's been good clap your hands
If God's been good, stomp your feet
If God's been good, give Him praise
If God's been good, groove with me
If God's been good clap your hands
If God's been good, stomp your feet
If God's been good, give Him praise
If God's been good, groove with me, c'mon
He's been good, anybody else feel this way
Can anybody else help me say, He's always been so good to me
Well you might as well face the facts, ain't nobody ever had your back
VERSE 1:
With the choir of angels singing,
And the realm of heavenly hosts
As those elders humbly bow,
I'd love to come to Your throne with a simple song
With the little creatures speaking,
Praise and praise and praise again
With the company of heaven,
I'd love to come to Your throne with a song of love
CHORUS:
Hallelujah, Jesus, hallelujah, hallelu
Hallelujah, Jesus, pouring out my heart to You

Rising to Your throne above
Fill the air with heart-filled songs
Harmony and melody for the One I Love

That will rise up to Your throne
Every knee that day shall bow

Thou changest not
Thy compassions they fail not

(Girl #1)I'll never pray again.

(Girl#1)If I'm the righteous, why am I going through,

CHORUS
Jehovah Jirah, He's my provider,
But you gotta know from where your blessing flow
He never changing, and rearranging.
My life, your life, just try him
(repeat)
If you think about quiting every now and again, let me show you how to make it from start to end.
You gotta pray now, hey now, do you feel me, players, shortys, are you with it.
(repeat)
I remember back when I was a little young girl I remember mama saying get up
you can't sit there get up when it's time to give the Lord some praise.
Now evidently she knew exactly where the praise would get me,
that's why when the praise is going up get up from your seat now
Now I remember when situation's had me kind of hindered
but my spirit kept saying get up I can't sit there get up
when it's time to give the Lord some praise. When the praise is over
the weight it really lifted off my shoulder, that's why
when the praise is going up get up from your seat now.
Now it was kind of weekly that on the job the devil tried to get me
that's why you hear me keep saying get up you can't sit there get up
I told you you slap the devil's face.
Now when I get that praise on the job it couldn't come my way
that's why when the praise is going up get up from your seat now.
Now the doctor told me from day to day I've got to take it easy
that was just like him saying get up you can't sit there get up
cause it's time to give the Lord some praise.
Now when my body was achin' a something in my hand a got to shakin'
that's why when the praise is going up get up from your seat now
Get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
when the praise is going up get up from your seat now
Now if you want to go and tell the person sittin' next to ya
don't you hear what I say get up you shouldn't sit there get up
cause it's time to give the Lord some praise.
Now if I had it my way these chairs wouldn't even be here no way cause
when the praise is going up get up from your seat now
Now if you think you lost it and you're lookin' for some joy for it
first you got to get up don't site there get up cause it's time to give the Lord some praise.
And before you know it something in your body starts to show it,
that's why when the praise is going up get up from your seat now
Get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
get up
when the praise is going up get up from your seat now
Now everybody just keep saying you can praise without me
sooner or later you gonna wish you got up from sitting got up
cause you need the Lord to come your way And then you want to get
the elders to pray for you but I told you when the praise is going up
Oh, boy, it's a brand new day and I can't be late,
Got to get myself on the bus
No time for any delays, coach said I get
To play today get to get myself in the game
Got to show the guys I'm the best goalkeeper
They've ever seen
I'm just a normal guy trying to catch a dream
Held back by destiny
(not to mention by my team)
Had all the gifts that I needed
To rise like cream
To the top, I knew that in a couple years
I'd be playing in the world cup
So tell me why did you pick me
What did you see in me
Future plans and memories
Left behind me on the field
Losing season made for no respect
And then my fate was sealed
By the hand that gave me
Everything now took it all away,
Rip the pages from the book of lies
Never will we ever fall to compromise
Now we're back to set the record straight
Fueled by anger, our pain has turned to hate
Symptoms of stagnation are coming to an end
Solitude's frustration has been our only friend
Now we must break free
Mercy is no virtue when the mercyful is betrayed
There must be some kind of justice before it's too late
Right at you straight between the eyes
This relentless attack will be no disguise
Things have been said that just are not true
Hear what I say when I say this to you
Symptoms of stagnation are coming to an end
Solitude's frustration has been our only friend
Now we must break free
Mercy is no virtue, that's what the merciless say
When justice is lost, the system fails, and all we do is pay
Take a look around, 'cause the band is back in town
And vengeance and revenge is what they seek
If you see them coming you better step aside
Because now they'll show no mercy
You can see it in their eyes
I will love you for the cross
And I will love you for the cost
Man of sufferings
Bringer of my peace
You came into a world of shame
And paid the price we could not pay
Death that brought me life
Blood that brought me home
Death that brought me life
Blood that brought me home
Chorus:
And I love you for the cross
I'm overwhelmed by the mystery
I love you for the cost
That Jesus you would do this for me
When you were broken, you were beaten,
You were punished, I go free
You were wounded and rejected
In your mercy - I am healed
Jesus Christ the sinners friend
Does this kindness know no bounds
With your precious blood you have purchased me
Oh the mystery of the cross
You were punished you were crushed
But that punishment has become my peace
Yes that punishment has become my peace
Chorus
By your wounds I am healed
For the cross, for the cross, for the cross I thank you
Oh Lord, for the cross, for the cross
Verse 1:
There was a time where I was trying to fight on my own
Thinking that I was strong enough to get through it alone
But when problems piled up heavily burdening me
I called on him he stepped in and saved me mercifully
B-sec
(When I) when I think of all he's done to be
Closer to me it's overwhelming just to think
To think he gave his life for you and me yeah
Is more than enough to persuade me all he asked was
Hook
All he asked was follow me so I gladly go
Cause he's the one who carries me when I can't take no more oh
Every time you see me you don't really know that
My father is who you see working through me so just know
Verse 2:
By his grace alone I'm livin' to see brighter days
And with his light I know he directs me in all of my ways
Always here with me faithful friend never leaving my side
Don't know where I'd be without him truth be told and that's why
B-sec
Hook
Bridge/Vamp:
He's my light
Gives me life
He who strengthens me
Is in fact who you see
Cause he's working in me
Never once failed a soul
Who truly believed
The living proof is me
I'm just one of many
Hook
I used to be the one
Who would long to hear your voice
A child who
Sought to win his Father's heart
But as I carried on
Life got a hold on me
Now here I am, a child so far from home
Tell me when did I lose my first love?
Where did the fire and passion go?
Burn in me Your holy fire
Give me back my lost desire
And restore in me the love I felt for You
Can I remember how it felt
When they looked into my face
And they saw the love of Jesus in my eyes
When I look back on my life
And question where I've been
Can I really say I've done my best for you?
Oh, where did I go?
(I've lost my way, I've lost my love, I'm all alone)
Oh, I'm lost and I'm alone
Oh, help me pleaseLord, lead me home
Father take me back
And let me start again
Lord, I've failed and I've
Fallen in my pride
But lead me back to you
Where my life began
Through all of the hurt and the pain
Through all the stormy nights and the hard rain
Through all of the trails that you go through
God has a blessing waiting for you
The sun will come out and it will shine
And you can make it through all of the hard times
With love so sweet and divine
Everything will be just fine
(Chorus) I know you feel like you just can't make it
And the heartache and pain isn't worth it
But joy comes in the morning
When the sun shines
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Just keep your head up high
Up towards the sky
And everything will be alright
You see trails come just to make you stronger
Time will get rough and they'll get harder
So when you feel like you can't make it through
He'll show you what to do
So don't give up, nor give in
To what the devil gives to you
So hold your head up high and believe
There's going to be a bright day
(Chorus) I know you feel like you just can't make it
And the heartache and pain isn't worth it
But joy comes in the morning
When the sun shines
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Just keep your head up high
Up towards the sky
And everything will be alright
He will never put more on you
Than you can bear, but life ain't easy
Life is just no crystal stair
Just have faith, He'll see you through
Just keep your head up high
Everything will be all right
All right, all right
All right, all right
All right, all right
All right, all right
(Chorus) I know you feel like you just can't make it
And the heartache and pain isn't worth it
But joy comes in the morning
When the sun shines
Everything will be alright
Everything will be alright
Just keep your head up high
Up towards the sky
Who am I
Who am I that You'd love me
So twisted inside
Who am I
Who am I
You'd dust me off again
Put me back on my feet again
Now I'll hold my head up high
You've changed me, Oh how You
Changed me
And now I'll hold your hand
So I can fly so high
You're everything to me
You're my breath, You're my life
You alone complete me and
You're everything to me
I don't want to, no
Take You for granted anymore
You spoke Your mind and worlds
Leaped into motion
You showed me what's real
Now that I was blind but I can see
I was bound but I am free
You changed me yeah You spun
Me around
And now I'll hold Your hand
So I can fly so high, so high
You tell me, tell me
That You love me
You love me, you love me and
You tell me, tell me
That You love me
You love me, You love me and
You're everything to me
Here we can't stop moving can't let that fear creep in
That all of our ships are sinking and no one here can swim
Truth we turned that word away the truth that welcomes us to stay
Where every moment of every day is summer and autumn and winter and spring
Lovers and loners and vagrants and kings we're finally home
We've got worlds upon our shoulders atlas to our sin
From trying to be too good for a broken dying man
Love so perfect love so right let us fall in love tonight
Where every moment of every day is summer and autumn and winter and spring
Lovers and loners and vagrants and kings we're finally home
Let us run free let us breathe wild let us not let Your beauty pass us by
We can't wait to move on drop these ragged bones and spring
(Verse 1)
I was wrong
I'll be the first to admit
I wasn't strong, at time I wanted to quit
I let You down and I know what it ain't right
But living without You I can see
That life just can't be for me
Walking round trying to play the part
Down inside no one could sed my broken heart
Feeling like I'm bound, but I really wanna be free
What I'm really trying to say is that
You can't take you joy from me
(Chorus)
Don't take your joy from me
Without it where would I be
Like a ship tossed and driven
No reason for living
Don't take it away, don't take it away
(Verse 2)
Your joy is my strength I know
Without it where would I go?
Now I understand what you really mean to me
They can say what they want to say
But I'm gona keep on loving You this way
They say you don't miss your water till your well runs dry
Well I'm sure 'nuf missing you
I ain't gone tell no lie
I wanna come home
Would You please let me in?
I'm really trying' to make You see I want to start over again.
(Chorus)
Bridge
Without You no joy, no life, no reason to live
I give all that I am
So do what You want to
What I'm really trying to say is
Don't take Your joy away
Don't get so busy that you miss
Giving just a little kiss
To the ones you love
Don't even wait a little while
To give them just a little smile
A little is enough
See how many people are crying
Some people are dying
How many people are asking for love
So don't save it all for Christmas day
Find a way
To give a little love every day
Don't save it all for Christmas day
Find a way
'Cause holidays have come and gone
But love lives on
If you give onLove
How could you wait another minute
A hug is warmer when you're in it
Oh, baby that's a fact
And saying I love you's always better
Seasons, reasons they don't matter
So don't hold back
See how many people in this world
So needful in this
World
How many people are praying for love
So let all the children know
Everywhere that they go
Their whole life long
Your love lifted me
Keeps right on lifting me
Your love keeps on
Lifting me higher
I remember the times
I remember them oh so well
I was so messed around
Guess you could say
I was on lock down
You spoke your word
That's all it took
Caused me to take
A second look
You broke the chains
(Broke the chains)
Set me free (Set me free)
Now I can live
In the spirit of liberty
That's what He's done
Since You came along my Lord
Your love lifted me

Keeps right on lifting me

I lift up my hands with thanksgiving
You spoke Your word
That's all it took
Cause me to take
A second look
You broke the chains

Now I can live
In the spirit of liberty

Only one way, I am the key
Life and love are only given through me
I care about your heart and what you've been through
I'm waiting here patiently for you
Let not your heart be troubled, you're never left all alone, yeah
Cast all your cares upon me, when you are weak I'll be strong
I'll wipe away your tears, calm your fears
I'll give freely, just ask of me
I'll take away your pain, remove all shame
My love's for sure cry no more, cry no more
So you say, say you don't believe someone could love you unconditionally
You say you've been hurt before, you don't wanna be hurt no more
If you only you could see, you can rely on me
Those tears you cry, I cried a thousand times, I know just how you feel
But joy comes once you realize the love I have is real
I'll wipe away your tears, calm your fears
I'll give freely, just ask of me
I'll take away your pain, remove all shame
My love's for sure cry no more
Let not your heart be troubled, you're never left all alone
Cast all your cares upon me when you are weak, I'll be strong
I'll wipe away your tears, calm your fears
I'll give freely, just ask of me
I'll take away your pain, remove all shame
My love's for sure cry no more, cry no more
Verse 1
Crazy Mary is a slow girl who looks up to no one,
Would do anything for a cold one,
Wishes she could find her way home,
Got the look on her face and the stare of a ray gun,
We walked by everyday,
And I wish there was something I could do for her
Chorus
Maybe if I took a little time to talk then she'd,
Heal a little if she wants to,
She can run but let's teach her how to walk away now,
I'll shake a little if she wants to,
She'll laugh a little if she needs to,
There's a key to the door that she's hiding behind
Verse 2
She watches the world pass her by like a freight train,
They all call her the same name,
Laughin' as they point and stare at her,
So she crys out to God up in Heaven,
Been prayin since she was 11,
For Him to send someone to meet her there
Chorus
Bridge
And no one knows the thoughts, the dreams,
And the ideas she's got and contains inside,
She's broken apart,
And her heart is still lookin for somewhere to feel alright,
And no one knows the thoughts, the dreams,
And the ideas she's got andcontains inside,
She's broken apart, and her heart is still lookin for,
Somewhere to feel alright
You knew my destiny,
Before I was concieved,
Brought out the best in me
And Lord I wanna thank you,
A diamond in the rough,
You looked beyond my stuff
And saw potential that
Nobody else could ever see
Bridge:
People let me down,
Player Haters all around,
So tell me how you like me now,
I survived my wilderness
I still can't believe
That you chose me.
Chorus:
I can't believe you chose me
I can't believe you loved me
Even though im not worthy
I can't believe you saw me
I can't believe you chose me
Lord im thankful that you chose me
So many years I felt,
I just can't help myself,
And used excuses just like
Moses at the burning bush,
Go set my people free,
Thats what you said to me,
And as you go just like the
Lepers I'll deliever thee.
Bridge:
People let me down,
Player Haters all around,
So tell me how you like me now,
I survived my wilderness
I still can't believe
That you chose me.
Chorus:
I can't believe you chose me
I can't believe you loved me
Even though im not worthy
I can't believe you saw me
I can't believe you chose me
Lord im thankful that you chose me
Bridge:
People let me down,
Player Haters all around,
So tell me how you like me now,
I survived my wilderness
I still can't believe
That you chose me.
Chorus:
I can't believe you chose me
I can't believe you loved me
Even though im not worthy
I can't believe you saw me
I can't believe you chose me
Will she walk slowly
Or will she come at all
I can't believe that I was watching
Can't believe I made the call
I can't get a handle on my thoughts now
Guess I've already made my mind
He's a soldier in my battle
I'm the king with too much time
Will she wear that black dress
Will she wear that black dress
As holy as the night
As holy as I want to feel
I want to feel all right
What if she is angry
I know that we're both scared
Do I look her in the eye or do I even dare to care
I'm drowning in desire
I've been good for so long
I know I've got no right now
But no one can tell me that I'm wrong
Will she wear that black dress
Will she wear that black dress
As holy as the night
As holy as I want to feel
I want to feel all right
Maybe I'll be good
I could be gone when she gets here
I've still got a chance to make this one all right
My temptation's on the stairway
My temptation's at the door
My temptation is before me
I say it's not my fault
As I run and hide behind the walls that I have made
To keep you out
Can you see me?
Can you hear me?
I'm crying, I'm dying, I'm trying
To find the light
And I'm crawling over myself
And I'm falling
Please show me
What is real, what is real
I can feel, I can feel but reality is far from what I see
I can't see, I can't see
Please heal me, yeah I'm calling
Yeah I'm calling
I look into Your eyes
And quickly realize You know me all to well
Everything I'd never tell
Then You show me
That You carried
The tears, and the fears, and the years
That cripple me
And I'm reaching
I want to touch You
I'm running, please show me
What is real, what is real
I can feel, I can feel but reality is far from what I see
I can't see, I can't see
Please heal me, yeah I'm calling
Yeah, I'm calling
Please show me
And I'm crawling over myself
And I'm falling
Please show me
What is real, what is real
I can feel, I can feel but reality is far from what I see
I can't see, I can't see
Please heal me, yeah I'm calling
I used to close my eyes and pray the time would pass me by
So I could fly away in my dreams to anywhere unreal
And I'd hide away from everything
I didn't know what was real, I didn't know the truth
There was a day when somebody introduced me to You
And You breathed Your life in me
You set me free...
Chorus:
Now I'll shout it from the mountain
That I'm not the same that I used to be
I believe in God, believe in God
I'm not ashamed to talk about it
To a world that slowly slips away
That I believe in God, believe in God
Now at the end of the day when
Nothing seems to go my way
I've got a friend, I've got a
Love that's never gonna let me go
Since You gave Your life for me
You set me free...
Chorus
Oh, when I feel so alone
He comes to sweetly say
It's all gonna be okay
Oh, when my emotions flow
He comes to sweetly say
It's all gonna be okay
Chorus:
I wanna be with you again
Drink from the well deep within
Love everlasting overflows
I just wanna be with, oh, to be with you again.
Verse One:
I can't remember, seems like forever, when was the last time I felt your embrace.
But I made the time to steal away, meet me there at our secret place, & renew the love I let slip away.
Repeat Chorus
Verse Two:
Jesus only you know often times it seems, cares of this world carry me away.
But in one moment, I'm longing for your love, overcomes the world, leads me back to you.
Repeat Chorus
Laid before your feet, drink from the blood of your righteousness.
Held in the palm of your hand.
I just wanna be there with you.
Caught in a whirlwind of distractions
I'm losing touch with You
So many thoughts oh they're racing through my head
They're chasing me
I've got to run faster
I'm tired, so tired of falling for all their lies
I need You, please take me
Please help me out
You're my escape
Take me away
I'm lettin go of myself
You're my escape
Take me away and give me wings to fly
Lost in the words I can't find
As I'm reaching for time
I close me eyes oh You're leading me
But I'm fighting to stay
Can You help me
Oh take me far away from this place
I need You, please help me out
You're my escape
Take me away
I'm lettin go of myself
You're my escape
Take me away and give me wings to fly
I want to get away
To find myself in You
So take me, away
Oh won't You take me away
You're my escape
Take me away
I'm lettin go of myself
You're my escape
Take me away and give me wings to fly
Oh to fly, oh to fly
Until I find myself in You
Oh to fly, oh to fly
They encamp all around me
So I have no fear
They tell me He loves me
Whisper in my ear
It means the world to me
To have them near
These are my angels, over me
They come from the throne above
And before His face
They carry the light of love
Cover me with grace
They wanna to see me
Complete this race
These are my angels, over me, help me see
I got angels watching over me
(Watching my way both night and day)
I got angels watching over me
(Fanning away the hurt, the pain)
I got angels watching over me
(They'll never fly away)
Angels over me
They silently hold me
With their mighty wings
When I cry, they console me
With the songs they sing
And when I sleep, they watch over me
Fan away evil things
These are my angels, over me
Said we don't even notice
The protection they give
Fell asleep on the road and yet
I continued to live
Sometimes I even wished that they
Wouldn't answer my call
But unwavering angels, they just won't let me fall
I got angels watching over me
(Watching my way both night and day)
I got angels watching over me
(Fanning away the hurt, the pain)
I got angels watching over me
(They'll never fly away)
Angels over me
(Over me)
Over me, over me
I got angels watching over me
(Watching my way both night and day)
I got angels watching over me
(Fanning away the hurt, the pain)
[Incomprehensible] angels
(They'll never fly away)
[Verse 1]
They camp all around me
So I have no fear
They tell me he loves me
Whisper it in my ear
It means the world to me
To have him near here
These are my angels over me
They come from the throne above
Before his face
They carry the light of love
Cover me with grace
They wanna see me complete this race
These are my Angels Over me
Oooh Help me sing
[Chorus]
I got Angels watching over me
Watching my way both night and day

[Verse 2]
They silently hold me with their mighty wings
When i cry they consume me with the songs they sing (ooh)
When I sleep they watches over me
Fan away evil things
These are my Angels over me (oh)
Say we don't even know this
The protection they give
Fall asleep on the road and yes
I continue to live
Sometimes I even which that they
Wouldn't answer my calls
But await vuring Angels
They just won't let me fall
No they won't
(Repeat chorus 2x)
But they'll never fly away
They'll never, never let me down
Blessing and honor
Glory and power
Be unto the Ancient of days
From every nation
All of creation
Will bow before the Ancient of days
Every tongue in heaven and earth will declare Your glory
Every knee shall bow at Your throne and worship
You will be exalted, oh God,
And Your kingdom shall not pass away Oh Ancient of days
Your kingdom shall reign over all the earth
Sing unto the Ancient of days
For none can compare to your matchless worth
Time is a slow sword that can pierce any armor
As we drown our hearts hiding from the ghosts of one another
It's all that I can do to keep smiling
Don't hold back
Could you kiss me if I was crying
Don't hold back
Why can't we slip out of these lies
Slip into a love where fear's not choking
Instead we're getting burnt like flies
Who think the light will hide the fact we're broken
It's all that I can do to keep smiling
Don't hold back
Could you kiss me if I was crying
Don't hold back
Can it be so hard to say I love you
It's all that I can do to keep smiling
Don't hold back
Could you kiss me if was crying, was dying, was feeling fine
