I'm walking to the beat of a different drum
I can see past these days
In to a better place - oh yeah
I'm singing to the tune of a different strum
My ways are higher ways
Since You've removed my chains
And given me a place
At the table of Your love, now
It's good to be free
It's good to be free from all the pain
It's good to be free
It's good to hear You say my new name
It's good to be free
It's good to know you've stood in the place of blame for me
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's good to be free
Things of this world are overdone
Things like theology and philosophy - oh yeah
Through Jesus I know I've overcome
My insecurities and insincerity
Now that You've placed in me
A hope for things I cannot see, now
I spent so long
Living in a cell that I thought was home
I didn't know it wasn't meant for me
I let the Lord
Search my soul with a fine-tooth comb
He showed me everything that I could be
What do I think of when I think about the cross where You died
What do I think of when I think about the sword in Your side
What do I think of when I thing about the last words You cried
What do I think of when I think about the nails in Your hands
What do I think of when I think about Your blood in the sand
What do I think of when I think about it, I don't understand
I think about love
I think about grace
I think about You standing in my place
And I'm amazed
What do I think of when I think about the scorns from the crowd
What do I think of when I think about them cursing out loud
I think of how their knees will one day bow
What do I think of when I think about You coming back down
What do I think of when I think about me wearing that crown
I don't know what to say
That hasn't already been said
I don't know what to write
That hasn't already been read
I don't know what to play
That You haven't already heard
So here's my song, You write the words
Here's my heart, You write the words
"Amazing Grace" has already been written
"Jesus Saves" has been done before
And the "Hallelujah Chorus"
Has been sung a million times or more
So who am I to make any difference
Tell me why I pour out my heart
And I struggle for the words
That I know might not go very far
There are days when I sing for the masses
When my songs get repeated back to me by thousands
And there are days when I know
That the only one who hears me is You
If not for Christ I would surely fall
Over myself and bear the fault
Of all my deeds so terrible
If not for Christ I would surely fall
If not for Christ I would surely fall
If not for Christ I would surely break
Under the weight of my mistakes
And in my sin be kept away
If not for Christ I would surely break
If not for Christ I would surely break
It was for me He bled and died
It was my sword that pierced His side
It was my name that Jesus cried
When on that tree He bled and died
It was for me He bled and died
And now to Christ I owe it all
He is to me a tower strong
Salvation does to me belong
It is to Christ I owe it all
You, O Lord, are a shield about me
You, O Lord, are my refuge, yea
You, O Lord, are a shield about me
You, O Lord, lift up my head
Be My Glory
Be My Glory
Be My Glory
Be My Glory
You, O Lord, are a shield about me
You, O Lord, are my refuge, yea
You, O Lord, are a shield about me
You, O Lord, lift up my head
How I long to be conformed in You Jesus
In my weakness be my strength
Hear my prayer as I kneel before You now
Where could I run, where could I hide
Where could I go where You are not
Where could I be, where You don't see
All of these demons chasing me
What kind of sin could I find myself in
Where You wouldn't stop
The world from spinning 'round and 'round
When it seems like I am upside down
But in Your comfort I have found
A safe place to fall
And I'll be alright
Safe inside
Stayin' alive
As long as You are watching over me
Where could I go where I don't know
All of the comfort You bestow
Where could I fall, where could I land
Where I'm not resting in Your hand
How could I stray too far away
Where You won't leave the ninety-nine
To come and bring me back
And put me on Your shoulders and
Carry me around Your neck
Until it's safe to walk
And I will be fine
'Cause You are by my side
And I'll be ok
'Cause You're with me every day
This one thing is sure
I could never, ever ask for more
And I'll be alright
Safe inside
Stayin' alive
I'm gonna miss this simple town
Full of memories
I'm gonna miss just hanging out
With all my friends
The rainy days and summer nights
Skippin' stones by the riverside
But I know it's time to go, so
Here's goodbye, here's so long
I must go and follow love
I feel my heart moving on
I must go and follow love
Carry on while I'm gone
This is what I been dreaming of
I'll miss you so, but I must go
Go and follow love
I've got a heart that's full of dreams
And a little bit of crazy
I can feel it pulling me
To somewhere I have never been
I'm packing up and leaving home
To travel into the great unknown
It's time, I have to go
We're not guaranteed tomorrow
So we must just keep on livin' for today
Make the most of every moment
When I'm down, You are up for me
When I frown, You have a smile for me
And when I'm weak, You are strong for me
You are there for me
You're always there for me
When I fall, You will catch me
When I call, You're quick to answer me
And when I weep, You will weep with me
You are there for me
You're always there for me
Chorus:
(And I want to be like You)
Take my cross and follow after You
(I want to be like You)
Speak the truth in everything I do
(I want to be like You)
Leave the many to go and find the few
(I want to be like You)
I want to be like You
When I thirst, You will quench me
When I hunger, You are the bread for me
When I kneel, you already heard me
You are there for me
You're always there for me
When I cried, You were there, You heard my call
When I fell, You were there, You saw it all
On my knees, You came and rescued me
And now in everything I say and do
I lie awake hoping that I will hear
Your voice inside my ear
Telling me you're near
But I know I'll find my precious peace of mind
When you speak to me just in time
Let me know you still care
(Chorus)
There's power in his blood
Forgiveness in His hands
A peace in His love that we can't understand
There's joy in His spirit
There's power in his blood
Forgiveness in His hands
A peace in His love that we can't understand
There's joy in His spirit
Sufficient and full there's power in His blood
His love is all we need
There's joy in the spirit of the Lord
You are the one who has made me complete
Now I'm kneeling at your feet
Knowing only you can lead me home
I'll stand through it all
Waiting on Your call
Knowing that you hear my every prayer
(Repeat Chorus)
I know there's strength in His everlasting word
And I know I'll find my love in His arms
Can you see the sun rise over the hill
Rising warm, free and bright
Feel the grass beneath your feet
Soft, smooth and green
(Chorus)
So is His love
So is His grace
So is the Lord
Come trust His name
See your life renewed
He's the way of today,
yesterday and to come
So I will sing of Your praise
All of my days
Walk in Your hope
Stand in Your hope
Can you feel the rain fall on your face
Washing all the dirt away
Bring your feet down, splash around
This is our life in Him
(Repeat Chorus)
Do you feel His love fall all over you
Warming you as the sun
Do you feel the light shine on your face
I've been in control too long
I can't be trusted
I have driven into walls
Ok I'm busted
My record is anything but clean
I've nothing left, but
Repentance and a guilty plea
I've learned my lesson
No one ever handed me the keys to my own story
I just took them for myself, ok I'm sorry
You take the wheel
I will work the radio
You take the wheel
We'll go where You want to go
You take the wheel
Take it fast, take it slow
Whatever You chose I'm fine
You drive, I'll ride
You drive, I'll ride
The road that I was on before
It was going nowhere
Now I'll kick back, enjoy the ride
The wind through my hair
The sun is hot, the air is clear
I was lost on my own
You came and picked me up out here
Now You're driving me home home
The rest of my life is not left for me to write, I don't now it all
I just made up myself and that was wrong
It's good that I don't drive
It never gets me too far
I like it on this side
This isn't even my car
You're driving with perfection
You don't have wear designer clothes
Unless you want to
I don't care what kind of car you drive
It won't define you
I look past the surface, the glitter, and gold
To the place that really matters to your soul
It's you, I'm in love with
It's you, I want most
When it all comes down
It's not what you do
It's you
You don't need to be perfect all the time
But you still try too
You don't have to conquer the whole world
I'll do it for you
It's not about how hard you work or who you're trying to be
But what I care the most about is that you see
It's your smile
It's your laugh
It's the look that you have
Every time you believe
Designer clothes or fancy car
I want you the way you are
You don't have to work it out
That's not what I'm all about
There? s a space in between us
Things just aren? t, they aren? t the same
In your heart there? s an aching
And you can? t see through the pain
I would run to your rescue
But you won't call out my name
So I? m reaching across the Grand Canyon
Hoping you will take my hand
And wondering why you? re just not listening
So for the time being I? ll just keep on reaching for you
There? s a thorn you? ve been holding
And you can? t, you can? t let it go
I wish that I could stop the bleeding
But you won? t, you won? t let it show
And I can? t wrestle with your demons
If you never let me see them
So I? m reaching across the Grand Canyon
Hoping you will take my hand
And wondering why you? re just not listening
So for the time being I? ll just keep on reaching for you
To come back to your senses again
And hear me calling, calling, calling
There? ll come a day, we? ll be together
And all your tears will be wiped away
And on that day, I? ll hold you so tightly
And all this pain will just melt away
I? m reaching across the Grand Canyon
Hoping you will take my hand
Wondering why you? re just not listening
So for the time being I? ll just keep on holding out
And reaching across the Grand Canyon
Hoping you will take my hand
And wondering why you? re just not listening
So for the time being I? ll just keep on reaching
Out of bondage, out of slavery
You have lead us to this place
Out of affliction from the hands of our oppressors
And we will not lose heart 'cause this is a second start
You are God of the promise
And You will go before us
And will follow
You are God of the desert
With mercy beyond measure
And now we know
You have not forgotten us
God of the promise
You are God of Elijah
You are consuming fire
You are God of Moses
You are strong through the wilderness
You are God of Elijah
You are consuming fire
You are God of Moses
You are strong through the wilderness
You've been there for them
You? ve been with me for so long
But there? s something you? ve not seen
You know me as soft and calm
But that? s not all of me
You? ve held the candle, felt the flame
But this you can? t contain
Tonight you? ll feel the blaze
You have heard me call your name
But never in this way
Tonight everything will change
You? ll never be the same
For us to really be in love
The way you? ve always dreamed of
It? s got to be this way
Come away with me
To the mountain of your dreams
Come away with me
There? s something you? ve got to see
Come away with me,
Come away with me
I will show you who I am
And who one day you will be
Come away, come away with me
You? ve been standing in the stream
The water feeling nice
It? s only up to your knees
But it? s beginning to rise
Let it carry you away
Don? t worry it? ll be ok
I? ll be right by your side
There? s much more than meets the eye
You had to question why
Oh that? s just what I wanted
So take a look at me
Remember what you see
You are the child that I love, in you I am well pleased
You are the child that I love, in you I am well pleased
Nothing high, nothing low, could separate you from me
You are the child that I love, in you I am well pleased
You've got nothing to prove in you I am well pleased
And when you walk through the dark
I'll be a light unto your feet
And when you cry in the night
I'll be the comfort that you seek
Long before you spoke a word
Or your face was ever seen
Your every breath, your every move
Was ever visible, ever visible to me
'Cause you are the child that I love, in you I am well pleased
You are the child that I love, in you I am well pleased
Nothing high, nothing low, could separate you from me
You are the child that I love, in you I am well pleased
You've got nothing to prove in you I am well pleased
When you need me I'm already there
I hear your every prayer
And every step you take, I take with you
And every move you make, I make it to, oh
And I want you to know, I love you
And I want you to know
That when you walk through the dark
I'll be a light unto your feet
And when you cry in the night
I'll be the comfort that you seek
Long before you spoke a word
Or your face was ever seen
Your every breath, your every move
Was ever visible, it was visible to me
You are the child that I love, in you I am well pleased
You are the child that I love, in you I am well pleased
Nothing high, nothing low, could separate you from me
You are the child that I love, in you I am well pleased
You've got nothing to prove in you I am
You've got nothing to prove, in you I am, I am well pleased
I am well pleased
You are the child that I love
You are the child that I love
I'm tired of foolish conversation
And I'm tired of pointless competition
And I'm tired of trying to find my identity on my own
Oh I'm coming home
Coming home I know I'm welcomed there
Coming home I know that I will hear your voice
Call tenderly and softly like music to my ears
Oh I'm coming home
I'm tired of dancing with the devil
Thought I could take the heat but I'm not able
I've laid my cards out on the table I moving on
Oh I'm coming home
Coming home I know I'm welcomed there
Coming home I know that I will hear your voice
Call tenderly and softly like music to my ears
Oh I'm coming home
Where out here child you are loved
And out here child you are forgivensv
Out here child I'm so proud of
What you've become
I've tried to make it in the system
And almost lost my soul in the ma'am
I'm taking what I have left, my dignity and self
respect
And ohh I'm coming home
Coming home I know I'm welcomed there
Coming home I know that I will hear your voice
Call tenderly and softly like music to my ears
We have a good friend named Trent Dilfer, an NFL quarterback who used to play for the Tampa Bay Bucs and now plays for the Seattle Seahawks. Trent's kids have always loved FFH. We were his son Trevin's favorite group, and "One of These Days" was his favorite song. Last year Trevin was diagnosed with a rare infection that affected his heart and took his life within a matter of about 40 days. He was only five years old. This song came straight from some of the journal pages Trent wrote in the days leading up to Trevin's funeral. Brian, who also dealt with a death in his family last year, wrote this with me, so it's a very special song for us. We wanted to tell this story. --Jeromy
I didn't see this coming
It hit like a big surprise
Like a thief in the night
Stealing away my sunshine
Now I'm crawling on my hands and knees
Looking for the light
It hit me from the blind side
Now I don't know what to do
It hit me from the blind side
I cry out to You
I don't have any answers
Your ways are higher
Your love is stronger
And through this pain
You'll cover me
Your grace is greater
When there are no answers
And through this pain
You'll cover me
And through this pain
You'll cover me
I never thought this could happen
I'm living in my own nightmare
Are You even there?
Hanging on by a thread now
I'm begging for the pain to end
Will it ever end?
It hit me from the blind side
It's getting hard to breathe
It hit me from the blind side
The hurt, it feels so deep
And I don't have any answers
Now each night seems so long
I don't think I'm this strong
How many times can I ask why?
Another long day is gone and I'm ready
For another long night where I'll be by your side
Another long day will come and I'll thank Jesus
That I am alive and that He made you mine
We belong together, you and me
Holding on tight like lock and key
Going strong the way this love should be - a fantasy
And I'm so glad that God made me for you and you for me
I'm having that dream where we are walking
Together along with the sand in our feet
Then I am awake and I realize
I've been here grounded far too long
I'm ready to see the open wide
Ready to sing a different song
I've seen my troubles 'long the way
I want to sail towards the sun
I want to turn another page
I'm on my way
I'm ready to fly
I'm ready to soar
I'm ready to leave this world behind
I'm ready to open up the door
I'm ready to fly
I'm ready to spread my wings across the sky
I think it's time
I'm ready to go
I'm ready to fly
You've told me I could rise above
Like an eagle on the wind
I can glide upon Your love
But I feel the pull of gravity
And it's a weight upon my shoulders
I can't stay here any longer
I've gotta be free
And it's been so long
Since I've seen the bright morning sun
Through the early morning horizon
And it's been so long
Since I've felt the air under my wings
And seen all of these things
If you could only see yourself through my eyes
You would finally get a glimpse of
You would probably be surprised to find
You? re good enough
If you could only see yourself through my eyes
You would surely be convinced of
You would probably be amazed to find
You? re worth my love
But I wait for you
To ask me the truth
You? ve been searching everywhere
To find that you? re still thirsty
If you would only drink of me
You? d find that
You would be satisfied
If you could see it through my eyes
If you could only see the world through my eyes
You would finally see the difference
Between what is real and what is disguise
You would, I know
But I wait for you
To ask me the truth
I see you? ve been trying
To become someone you? re not
I see you? ve been crying
Cause somewhere you forgot
That I wait for you
Because of Who You Are
I praise you Lord, 'cause you died to take my place
I thank you Lord, for your amazing grace
I bless you Lord, you're the one that I adore
I love you Lord, because of who you are
I trust you Lord, 'cause you hold the word in place
You made it all in less than seven days
I see you Lord, when I look near and I look far
I love you Lord, because of who you are
Chorus: The mountain peaks the oceans wide
They speak your name they testify
To all that is and all that was and all that is to come
You're the Great I Am, You're the Holy One
You're the One and Only Son of God
I hear you Lord, when you whisper in my ear
To comfort me and let me know you're near
You come to me, I don't have to wish upon no star
I love you, Lord, because of who you are
(Chorus)
I know you Lord 'cause you reached out your hand
To rescue me and show me how to stand
In truth and love, more than I could ever, ever ask for
I love you, Lord, because of who you are
(Chorus)
You are the start, you are the end, you are the Savior,
And my friend
You are the life, you are the breath,
You are the love that conquers death
You bring the sun, you bring the rain, you bring
The peace amidst the pain
You're everything that's good and right, you are the
Stuck here on this highway
In a river of red lights
For at least another mile
There's no relief in sight
Feeling all alone but
From the radio comes
A thing or two remind me something I already know
In this moment You are here with me
In this moment You are closer then the air I breathe
You are the God who reigns in heaven
It's amazing indeed
That You are here with me
In this moment
A few things on my checklist
That I need to do downtown
So I step onto the sidewalk
Full of people all around
Someone said the city, it can be a lonely place
But even though I know I can't find one familiar face
In this moment You are here with me
In this moment You are closer then the air I breathe
You are the God who reigns in heaven
It's amazing indeed
That You are here with me
In this moment
Anywhere, any time I'm on my own
I hold onto the promise
I'll never be alone
Even though it's midnight
And I'm lying in the dark
I think of You up in heaven
And You are in my heart
In this moment You are here with me
In this moment You are closer then the air I breathe
You are the God who reigns in heaven
It's amazing indeed
That You are here with me
In this moment
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand
In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought with the precious blood of Christ
No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
O child you've never known how I really feel
Because you've never been shown
O child, you've never known that my love is real
Because you've never been shown
I'm about to show you for myself
So listen to me
Don't need nobody else, 'cause
You are mine, you are loved, you have always been thought of
When you hurt I feel it every time
You are mine, you are loved and I'm never giving up
Till I've dried all the tears you cry
Long before you took a breath
I took your pain upon my chest
I knew your name, I heard you call
And it was worth it all, you are worth it all
O child, it wasn't fair how they walked away
Left you standing there
My child, I saw your tears, was with you everyday
Through the lonely years
And I'm about to bring back what they lost
So listen to me
Forget about the cost, 'cause
You are mine, you are loved, you have always been thought of
When you hurt I feel it every time, every time
You are mine, you are loved and I'm never giving up
Till I've dried all the tears you cry
As long before you took a breath
I took your pain upon my chest
I knew your name, I heard you call
It was worth it all, you are worth it all
No matter where you go, I'll come and find you
You are precious to me, my everything
No matter what they've done I will restore you
You're a masterpiece to me, only I can see
That underneath the hurt and the pain is a picture of me
O child, where did you go?
Please don't walk away I love you so
So here I come to say
You are mine, you are loved, you have always been thought of
When you hurt I feel it every time
You are mine, you are loved and I'm never giving up
Till I've dried all the tears you cry
Long before you took a breath
I took your pain upon my chest
I knew your name, I heard you call
And it was worth it all, it was worth it all
You are worth it all, you are worth it all
Some say life is hard
Like swimming upstream
or going against the grain
But I say life ain't that hard
'Cause I've seen how
the joy outweighs the pain
So you can sit and whine
about the times you've been having
Oh but as for me I choose to be
as happy as I can be
(Chorus)
Because I'm Alright
Trouble may find me
but it's not gonna keep me down
'Cause I'll hold on tight
To the Father who loves me
and likes having me around
'Cause He loves me, and He cares for me,
And so I'll be alright
We go round and round
Back and forth and almost upside down
To buy who we are -
A great big house, nice jeans, and a shiny car
But I'm learning that this world keeps turning
with or without me
So I'll do my best and leave the rest
to the one watching over me
(Repeat Chorus)
But I'm learning that this world keeps turning
with or without me
So I'll do my best and leave the rest
to the one watching over me.
Have I ever told you that I'm,
Sorry it didn't work out.
Have I ever told you that I'm,
I'm sorry that I walked out.
Have I ever told you that I'm,
Sorry that didn't think about how
it was going to make you feel.
Have I ever told you that I'm,
I'm sorry I wasn't honest.
We don't know how these lies,
Are going to come back to haunt us.
Have I ever told you that I'm,
I'm sorry that I broke my promise,
That I made to you.
But I believe,
It was right for me,
Or at least it seemed so at the time.
But reality,
Got the best of me,
And I guess I lost my mind.
My mind.
Have I ever told you that I'm,
I'm sorry that I forgot,
Just how hard I said I'd try,
I thought I did, but I guess not.
Have I ever told you that I,
I've been thinkin' about this
quite an awful lot.
And I believe,
It is right for me,
Or at least it seemed so at the time.
But reality,
Got the best of me,
And I guess I lost my mind.
My mind.
Have I ever told you that I,
I love the way you turned out.
Have I ever told you that I,
I've been watchin' and I'm so proud.
Have I ever told you that I,
I'm still tryin' to figure out
what's inside of me.
But I believe,
There is hope for me ,
And it's going to take some time.
And the God who sees,
What's inside of me,
I know he can change my mind.
And I believe,
There is hope for me,
And it's going to take some time.
And the God who sees,
What's inside of me,
I know he can change my mind.
The sun is sinking low and my mind wanders to You
And all the goodness that You gave when
You gave your life away
The sun is sinking low and I am thinking of You
And the price You paid just to let me live,
let me live another day
In this world you made
Enjoying it all the way, and I say...
(Chorus)
Take me, take me as I am
Show me, show me what I am to be
Write for me, write for me the melody
Take me as I am
The sun is sinking low and I am on my knees again
Saying that I'll go wherever you want me to go
The sun is sinking low and
I kneel beside my bed again
Thank you for today, praying for tomorrow
That you'll hold my hand
I can't make it all alone, so I say...
Lord, the wind and the rain are stronger today
Lord, the risk and the pain are scaring me away
But You call me just the same
You call me by name
Lord, I know I could stay but I would never know
You have the power to stir deep waters of my soul
But it's a chance I have to take so willfully I go

I'm being set free, I'm taking off the slave clothes that covered me
I'm being set free 'cause I was made for freedom not for slavery
Out of darkness you have called me
Out of bondage you have brought me
I'm free, the chains are falling You are calling me
I'm free, I've decided You are life to me
And I will walk where I can't see
Knowing You are with me, I'm free
I've been going around in circles
And I don't know what to do
I don't know where to find my way back to the truth
I need a reminder
Of how life used to be
Cause the face in the mirror isn't looking too familiar
I can say that I used to know a lot about you
But it seems I've fallen from you
And I can say that I need to know more about you
So now I'm on my knees singing
(Chorus)
Breathe in me
I fall so easily
How can it be
That you would rescue me
So Breathe in me
Breathe in me
The time I have wasted
Is not just my own
I got to get back to You, I gotta find my way home
Before my world comes tumbling down
The longer I wait
It gets harder to turn around
To see your eyes staring right through my soul
Oh but I know
That life begins when I die again and surrender
(Repeat Chorus)
I can hear you calling to me
I can see you reaching for me
Offering your hand to guide me
Hold me close again and set me free
(Repeat Chorus)
Let me tell you a story, it?s about you and me
We walked along the narrow road
You held my hand, we were a family
It?s was the only thing, you?d ever known
But you decided to let go
And walk away
You bought the lie
You said goodbye
But my hand is the only hand, you need
Why do you keep on holding on to everything but me
Why do you keep on looking up to find a sign
It?s been right here all this time
Can?t you see, my hand is the only hand you need
Only hand you need
Let me tell you a story, it?s about a love affair
We had before you talked away
Don?t say you don?t remember 'cause I was there
Holding your hand as we laughed and danced the days away
I wanted forever
But you couldn?t stay
You bought the lie
You said goodbye
But my hand is the only hand, you need
Why do you keep on holding on to everything but me
Why do you keep on looking up to find a sign
It?s been right here all this time
Can?t you see, my hand is the only hand you need
That one day all your money will be spent
And I?ll be waiting here just like the days you left
And you?ll come running back into my arms again
You?ll come running back, to my arms again
My hand is the only hand, you need
Why do you keep on holding on to everything but me
Why do you keep on looking up to find a sign
It?s been right here all this time
Can?t you see, my hand is
My hand is the only hand, you need
Why do you keep on holding on to everything but me
Why do you keep on looking up to find a sign
It?s been right here all this time
Can?t you see, my hand is the only hand you need
The only hand you need
The only hand you need
I? ve been here such a long time
Waiting for our first dance together
You refuse to give me the time
So I wait forever
I could have walked away a long ago
But I just can? t get you off my mind, no
I could choose to shut the door
Say I won? t be patient any more
But love doesn? t give up like that
Love doesn? t say enough? s enough
Love doesn? t just walk away
When the going gets tough
I know 'cause I am love
I can see what you? re trying to do
Fill this space with another lover
You should know that I have feelings too
And we were made for each other
But one day this new lover will be gone
Like the rest, it will be moving on
But I? ll still be here holding out my hand
I know it? s hard but try to understand
That love doesn? t give up like that
Love doesn? t say enough? s enough
Love doesn? t just walk away
When the going gets tough
I know 'cause I am love
Love doesn? t give up like that
Love doesn? t say enough? s enough
Love doesn? t just walk away
When the going gets tough
I know 'cause I am, I am love
I am love, I am love
It's all [Incomprehensible], I am love 4: 09
It's all you need, me 'cause I am love
It's all you need, me
Trying to find a peace in all the wrong places
Wanting to find release from the empty spaces
So I pack my bags and set out
Following traces of a better day
So I walk a thousand miles in the wrong direction
Building callous on my feet and a fine collection
Of wasted days and foolish ways
And baggage that I've picked up along the way
Then I hear a familiar voice calling me home
It's loves voice so I make the choice
to turn and follow
(Chorus)
And I fall to you
And you see through
All the foolish games I play
And I cast my cares away
And I fall to you
And I know you'll do
The same thing today
That you did every other day
When I went away
Trying to find the way with my own eye
It's like trying to find the sun in a midnight sky
The more I carry on alone
The harder it is to get by on my own
Then I see you standing there calling me home
So I throw down all my bags
and run straight to your arms
(Repeat Chorus)
So now you've got me standing
On the edge of the ledge
You gently remind me of those words you said
And I fall... I fall... I fall...
I've had my share of heartache
I've felt the sting of pain
From standing out in the desert
Praying for rain
I,ve seen my lonely teardrops
Fall down my lonely face
Oh how I long to hear the
Thunder roll again
And I want to be
Swept away in Thee
Only You know what I need
(Chorus)
So open up the sky
Rain down Your love
I don't care if I
Never get enough
I just want to be
Caught in that flood
So open up the sky
I've had my disappointments
I've cried a time or two
These showers of love I long for
They only come from You
Now I want to go deeper
And fall in over my head
So send Your Holy downpour
And let the healing begin
And I can't wait
To be swept away
Only You can stop the pain
(Repeat Chorus)
I just want to be
Caught in that flood
So open up the sky
One of these I'm gonna fly
Over the mountain
One of theses days I'm gonna ride
On the silver lining
One of these days I'm gonna witness
All I've been missing
One of these days
One of these days I'm gonna do
All the things I've never done
I'm gonna finish all the races
That I've run but I've never won
I'm gonna see a million faces
And recognize every one
One of these days
(Chorus)
One of these days
I'm gonna see the hands
that took the nails for me
One of these days
I'm gonna hold the keys
to the mansion built for me
One of these days
I'm gonna walk the streets of gold
that were paved for me
One of these days
I'm gonna see my Savior face to face
One of these days
One of these days I'm gonna see
Just what became of me
On the day that I believed
And you took myself from me
And I believe that I will see
What I'd have been if you didn't save me
One of these days
One of these days I'm gonna talk
With all the saints that have gone before
In their sandals I will walk
And we will sit upon the shore
And I will learn all the things
That I never knew before
All this and more
(Repeat Chorus)
One of these days I'm gonna be
In a place where there's no more need
No more pain and no more grief
No more foolish disbelief
Ah the joy that there will be
When at last we finally see
One of these days
(Repeat Chorus)
I'm gonna see my Jesus face to face
Voices are everywhere, and they're screaming at us: use me, buy me, believe me. We've got voices all over our culture: chat rooms, commercials, billboards, and bumper stickers, and they all want our immediate attention.
And then there is that voice from the past or that voice in your head that says you messed up too many times. You can't do it. You can't do it on your own. You're not smart enough. You're not strong enough. You're not stable enough. You're not thin enough. And then there's the enemy. The father of lies that likes to get in there and say no way you'll ever make anything of yourself.
I had this amazing conversation with my dad not too long ago. He's a great man. I love him so much. And he told me about the first time that his father said something encouraging to him. My dad had just put a room onto his house. And my grandfather was a master carpenter and he was inspecting my dad's work. And he got done and went to my dad, and said, "That's a good job Harry." And that was the first time my grandfather said something encouraging to my dad, and he was 38 years old.
Man, and without hearing that voice. Without hearing that, whether it's the actually the physical audible voice of your father or mother, or the voice from God, you don't have any identity. You have no way to function. I think Jesus knew that. I think that's why, when He went through His ministry, touching people and healing people, and speaking to people. He never asked them to be anything that they weren't. He tried to get them to understand who they were. That's why he said, "You're my daughter, you're my son, you're my brother, you're my sheep." He wanted us to identify with Him and understand that we're His creation; that we're worth something.
Yeah, and that's something amazing about Jesus. He could look down into somebody's spirit and draw out who they really were. I mean, he looked at Simon and said, "You know what? You're not Simon, You're Peter. You're a Rock."
And how 'bout that woman that came up to Him when He was going through that crowd, and she touched His garment, and he turned around and he said, "Daughter." His first word: Daughter.
You know, Jesus got that honestly from His father. Three times when Jesus was under immense pressure in his ministry, God the father actually spoke. I mean, spoke audibly, It wasn't inward. Jesus heard it, and the people around Jesus heard it. Like at His baptism, God the father said, "you are my son, I love you and I'm pleased with you." And then at the transfiguration, the father spoke again and the disciples heard it. The father said, "You are my son. I have chosen you, and God just established Christ's purpose on that mountain." And then, before Christ died at Gethsemane in John 12, Jesus prayed: should I pray to be delivered from this hour? No. This is why I've come. Glorify your name father. And the father spoke and said, "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again." And I think that promise just drove Christ to the cross.
Without You, there'd be no sunrise
Without You, there'd be no light
Without You, there'd be no answers
To the questions in my life
You bring joy in the morning
You bring comfort in the night
In Your hand You hold the heavens
You make everything alright
Saturday afternoon I've got nothing to do
So I jump in my car and drive 'round for a while
This is my holy place, my favorite escape
And as I drive this song comes to mind
Without You, there'd be no sunrise
Without You, there'd be no light
Without You, there'd be no answers
To the questions in my life
You bring joy in the morning
You bring comfort in the night
In Your hand You hold the heavens
You make everything alright
Round and round and round and round we go
When we stop only heaven can know
Without You, there'd be no sunrise
Without You, there'd be no light
Without You, there'd be no answers
To the questions in my life
You bring joy in the morning
You bring comfort in the night
In Your hand You hold the heavens
You make everything alright
Without You, there'd be no sunrise
Without You, there'd be no light
Without You, there'd be no answers
To the questions in my life
You bring joy in the morning
You bring comfort in the night
In Your hand You hold the heavens
You make everything alright
Round and round and round and round we go
Without You, there'd be no light
Round and round and round and round we go
You've seen it all before
You open up the door and I just turn away
Walk the other way
You offer so much more
than I could ever ask for
But I say thanks anyway
I go on and on alone
Make believing I can make it on my own
(Chorus)
I think it's time for me to make a change
And start walking back to you
Before I go so far away
That I can't hardly see you
Reaching out,
calling the prodigal I said I'd never be
Now what I need is a little change
I've played the game before
But now the game is
taking more than I can give
And I'm dying to give in
But you're holding out for me
But what you're holding out for me
I can barely see
Because my visions' so dim
I try, but I can only hardly recognize
This light that should be blinding my eyes.
You are not a god
Created by human hands
You are not a god
Dependant on any mortal man
You are not a god
In need of anything we can give
By Your plan, that's just the way it is
[chorus]
You are God alone
From before time began
You were on Your throne
Your are God alone
And right now
In the good times and bad
You are on Your throne
You are God alone
You're the only God
Whose power none can contend
You're the only God
Whose name and praise will never end
You're the only God
Who's worthy of everything we can give
You are God
And that's just the way it is
[chorus]
You are God alone
From before time began
You were on Your throne
Your are God alone
And right now
In the good times and bad
You are on Your throne
You are God alone
[bridge]
Unchangeable
Unshakable
Unstoppable
I have heard the call and I will not be moved
I have set my heart on one thing
I will wear your name for all the world to see
You lift it up
As for me I will raise your banner high
I will shout a loud geneve I won't deny
Jesus you have given all so I give you my life
I will raise your banner high
When the cost is great you are greatest still
I am standing on this one thing
You will come again and all the world will see
You lift it up
As for me I will raise your banner high
I will shout a loud geneve I won't deny
Jesus you have given all so I give you my life
I will raise your banner high
I will raise your banner high
I will sing, I will sing
God be praised, God be praised
All will sing, all will sing
God be praised, God be praised
I will sing, I will sing
God be praised, God be praised
All will sing, all will sing
God be praised, God be praised
As for me I will raise your banner high
I will shout a loud geneve I won't deny
Jesus you have given all so I give you my life
I will raise your banner high
As for me I will raise your banner high
I will shout a loud geneve I won't deny
Jesus you have given all so I give you my life
I will raise your banner high
I will raise your banner high
We come with broken spirits
We come with broken lives
People in need of a savior
We come as a sacrifice
Oh Lord Jesus come!
Come and kneel with us
God of all the universe
Breathe again in us
We will wait for you our Glorious King
You are mercy you are love
You can lift us up
We will worship you our Glorious King
We come with nothing to offer
We come with nothing to lose
A people seeking communion
We come seeking you
Oh Lord Jesus come!
Come and kneel with us
God of all the universe
Breathe again in us
We will wait for you our Glorious King
You are mercy you are love
You can lift us up
We will worship you our Glorious King
We will worship you our Glorious King
We will rise and we will fall
You are all the one (x3)
When everything we work fails
You are faithful still, yes (x3)
Oh Lord Jesus come!
Come and kneel with us
Oh Lord Jesus come!
Come and kneel with us
God of all the universe
Breathe again in us
We will wait for you our Glorious King
You are mercy you are love
You can lift us up
We will worship you our Glorious King
God of all the universe
Breathe again in us
We will wait for you our Glorious King
You are mercy you are love
You can lift us up
We will worship you our Glorious King
We will worship you our Glorious King
What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and grieves to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
Oh what peace we often forfeit
Of what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer
Have we trials and temptation
Is there trouble anywhere
We should never be discouraged
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Oh what peace we often forfeit
Of what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrow share
Jesus knows our every weakness
I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses.
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.
He speaks, and the sound of His voice,
Oh it's so sweet the birds hush their singing,
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart it's ringing.
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.
And He walks with me, and He talks with me,
And He tells me I am His own;
And the joy we share as we tarry there,
None other has ever known.
Stanza I:
I stand with nothing in my hands
There's nothing I can offer but myself
Oh Lord, all of myself
Yet unworthy of this calling
Stanza II:
And still my heart longs to praise
My spirit yearns and faints for You
Only for You, how I desire to worship
So hear me now, I sing
Chorus:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Let my soul bless Your Name forever
Praise and honor, might and power
Be unto Your Name Oh Lord, my God
(repeat stanza I and II)
(repeat chorus)
Bridge:
This day, I pray that every breath
Praise your Name
And this song shall reach You
As all of heaven bow to praise, I sing
(repeat chorus)
I’ve seen the red sea part, I’ve seen the mountains
move
But now it seems so dark, I can’t even feel you
If you chose to be silent I’ll be silent too
I will worship in the waiting, quiet before you
Until your voice like manna from the sky falls
I WILL WORSHIP IN THE WAITING
I WILL WALK WITH THIS SAND BENEATH MY FEET
THOUGH THE WINTER WIND IS BLOWING
THE GROUND IS NOT FROZEN UNDERNEATH
I WILL WORSHIP AND NOT GROW BITTER
CAUSE I KNOW YOU SEE THE END OF IT ALL
AND WITH THE SPRING WILL COME THE RAIN
AND I'LL SEE WHAT WAS GAINED
IN THE WAITING
I’ve seen the blooms of spring, new life in everything
But now it seems so grey, bright colors fade away
This winter seems much longer and colder than before
But I will worship in the waiting, expecting something
more
Until the sun shines warm upon my face again
I WILL WORSHIP IN THE WAITING
I WILL WALK WITH THIS SAND BENEATH MY FEET
THOUGH THE WINTER WIND IS BLOWING
THE GROUND IS NOT FROZEN UNDERNEATH
I WILL WORSHIP AND NOT GROW BITTER
CAUSE I KNOW YOU SEE THE END OF IT ALL
AND WITH THE SPRING WILL COME THE RAIN
AND I'LL SEE WHAT WAS GAINED
IN THE WAITING
He Leadeth me He leadeth me
By his own hand He leadeth me
His faithful follower I would be
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling for you and for me
See on the portals He's waiting and watching Watching for you and for me
Come home, come home ye who are weary come home
Earnestly tenderly Jesus is calling
Calling oh sinners come home
Why should we linger when Jesus is pleading
He's pleading for you and for me
Why should we linger and heed not His mercy
Mercy for you and for me
Thought of the wonderful love He has promised Promised for you and for me
Though we have sinn'd He has mercy and pardon Pardon for you and for me
Come home, come home ye who are weary come home
Earnestly tenderly Jesus is calling
I am empty, thirty, weary
Coming back to you with empty hands
You are waiting for me you fill me gently
Bring me back to you once again
You are, you are my first love Jesus
I come just as I am
You are, you are my first love Jesus
Let me fall in love again!
I am tired, broken, helpless
Calling out to you with all my heart
You are right here with me steady, faithful
Calling out to me with open arms
You are, you are my first love Jesus
I come just as I am
You are, you are my first love Jesus
Let me fall in love again!
You are, you are my first love Jesus
I come just as I am
You are, you are my first love Jesus

I am desperate, needy, hopeless
Holding on to you for every breath
You will be my fortress ,strength and weakness
Holding on to me you give me rest
You are, you are my first love Jesus

Let me fall in love again!
You are, you are my first love Jesus

Let me fall in love again!
Jesus, name above all names
Beautiful Savior, glorious Lord.
Emmanuel, God is with us.
Blessed Redeemer, Living word.
Jesus, name above all names
Beautiful Savior, glorious Lord.
Emmanuel, God is with us.
Blessed Redeemer, Living word.
Emmanuel, God is with us.
I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.”
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
Lord, now indeed I find
Thy power and Thine alone,
Can change the leper's spots
And melt the heart of stone.
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete,
“Jesus died my soul to save,”
My lips shall still repeat
Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.
My foes are many, they rise against me
But I will hold my ground
I will not fear the war, I will not fear the storm
My help is on the way, my help is on the way
Oh, my God, He will not delay
My refuge and strength always
I will not fear, His promise is true
My God will come through always, always
Troubles surround me, chaos abounding
My soul will rest in You
I will not fear the war, I will not fear the storm
My help is on the way, my help is on the way
Oh, my God, He will not delay
My refuge and strength always
I will not fear, His promise is true
My God will come through always, always
I lift my eyes up, my help comes from the Lord
I lift my eyes up, my help comes from the Lord
I lift my eyes up, my help comes from the Lord
I lift my eyes up, my help comes from the Lord
From You Lord, from You Lord
Oh, my God, He will not delay
My refuge and strength always
I will not fear, His promise is true
My God will come through always, always
Oh, my God, He will not delay
My refuge and strength always, always
I lift my eyes up, my help comes from the Lord
I lift my eyes up, my help comes from the Lord
I?ve seen the red sea part, I?ve seen the mountains move
But now it seems so dark, I can?t even feel You
If You chose to be silent I?ll be silent too
I will worship in the waiting, quiet before You
Until Your voice like manna from the sky falls
I will worship in the waiting
I will walk with this sand beneath my feet
Though the winter wind is blowing
The ground is not frozen underneath
I will worship and not grow bitter
'Cause I know You see the end of it all
And with the spring will come the rain
And I'll see what was gained
In the waiting
I?ve seen the blooms of spring, new life in everything
But now it seems so grey, bright colors fade away
This winter seems much longer and colder than before
But I will worship in the waiting, expecting something more
Until the sun shines warm upon my face again
He Leadeth me, He leadeth me
By His own hand, He leadeth me
His faithful follower I would be
These are the days of Elijah
Declaring the Word of the Lord, yes
And these are the days of his servant, Moses
Righteousness being restored
And these are the days of great trial
Of famine and darkness and sword
So we are the voice in the desert crying
Prepare ye the way of the Lord
Behold he comes
Riding on a cloud
Shining like the sun
At the trumpet's call
Lift your voice
It's the year of jubilee
Out of Zion 'till salvation comes
And these are the days of Ezekiel
With dry bones becoming as flesh
And these are the days of his servant, David
Building the temple of praise, yes
And these are the days of the harvest
The fields are all white in the world
And we are the laborers that are in your vineyard
declaring the word of the Lord
Behold he comes
Riding on a cloud
Shining like the sun
At the trumpet's call
Lift your voice
It's the year of jubilee
Out of Zion 'till salvation comes
There's no God like Jehovah
There's no God like Jehovah
All I have, all I am
And all I ever hope to be
I give it all, all to You
Watch and see, I will be true
Chorus:
Lord Jesus, You are Holy
Lord Jesus, You are Mighty
And I give myself wholly to You
All I've said and all I've done
Has been erased by Your blood
And I am amazed by Your grace
I raise my hands and praise Your name
Now I stand alone before
You and Your kingdom, Lord
And I want to see Your blessing through
Sometimes it seems the world's unraveling around us
we fear it all my one day come undone
we can't forget the one who came before us
to forgive the past and bring hope for what's to come
when it all comes crashing down
the cross still stands alone
and on this our faith is built
and our courage is made strong
Sometimes it seems that i have been forgotten
i don't know how i will make it on my own
but the one who said i will never be forsaken
he still hears my prayer and i will never be alone
when it all comes crashing down
the cross still stands alone
and on this my faith is built
and my courage is made strong
When the world falls apart
and you fear for your heart
there's a tower of peace
it's still the cross
so bring your sick and your poor
and your longing for more
to the place of relief
it's still the cross
Though the world may not confess
you and your holiness
one day all will see
you in all your majesty
and the cross will stand alone
as the place where you made known
your love for all mankind
till then in it we'll hide
When the world falls apart
and you fear for your heart
there's a tower of peace
it's still the cross
so bring your sick and your poor
and your longing for more
to the place of relief
it's still the cross
there is hope for the lost
When the world falls apart
and you fear for your heart
there's a tower of peace
it's still the cross
so bring your sick and your poor
and your longing for more
to the place of relief
it's still the cross
there is hope for the lost
it's still the cross
there is hope for the lost
Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of Thy redeeming love.
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.
I'm gonna sing, I'm gonna shout
I'm gonna let the reason out
That His love goes on forever
I'm gonna take it all the way
I'm gonna praise Jesus' name
'Cause His love goes on forever
His love reaches to the highest mountain
His love stretches to the lowest valley
His love will never fail me
It's always there, surrounding me
I'm gonna give, I'm gonna grow
I'm gonna let the whole world know
That His love goes on forever
I'm gonna be a shining light
I'm gonna lift His name up high
'Cause His love goes on forever
His love, it has no end
It's long, it's wide, and it's deep
His love has found a way
Into the very heart of me
I'm gonna sing, I'm gonna shout
I'm gonna let the reason out
That His love goes on forever
I'm gonna take it all the way
I'm gonna praise Jesus' name
You were once with me but you decided to turn
Now my jealousy is a fire that burns
To the core of me when will I ever learn
I could walk away but that wouldn? t be like me
I could turn my face but then I couldn? t see
You coming back to me I? m waiting for that day
I? ve got a great big problem
You can? t ever get to the bottom of
My love, no matter what you do
I can? t let you go
I? ve got a great big problem
You can? t ever get to the bottom of
My love, I can? t let you go
You refuse to be the one I meant for you to be
If you could only see how this is killing me
You? d come back to me I would set you free
I call your name but it? s always the same
Your love is life to me my truest longing my deepest need without it
One moment I dont know where Id be your love is life to me
Bread for my body light for my eyes all that I need u daily provide
Deep in my being more than my blood my very exsistence depends
On your love
Your love is life to me my truest longing my deepest need without it
One moment I dont know where Id be your love is life to me
Moment by moment I am aware of your tender mercies and your
Constant care my hope and my strength thru all of my days I see
So clearly
Your love is life to me my truest longing my deepest need without it
One moment I dont know where Id be your love is life to me
Your love is a river flowing to the sea and the river runs forever
And watches over me
Your love is life to me my truest longing my deepest need without it
One moment I dont know where Id be your love is life to me
Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side.
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change, He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heavenly friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake
To guide the future, as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
Be still, my soul: the waves and winds still know
His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.
Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on
When we shall be forever with the Lord.
When disappointment, grief and fear are gone,
Sorrow forgot, love’s purest joys restored.
Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past
All safe and blessèd we shall meet at last.
If I let you get your hands on my heart
I knew there'd be changes you would want in me
You'd frighten me.
You'd let down my guard.
'cause I knew how easilly my heart can break.
But the fear started fading as I have begun to see
There's beauty all created
And you knew what's best for me.
So I am not afraid to love you anymore.
No, I am not afraid to love you, my Lord.
I trust your plans.
They are perfect like I'll be when you're through.
So I am not afraid to love you.
Well it hurts as you're remolding my dreams
And that you're reshaping all my attitudes.
It's hard to feel that every change means
That little by little
I am more like you.
So I embrace your risen come
When I see what you've done
I can't deny your wisdom or how far you've come.
So I am not afraid to love you anymore.
No, I am not afraid to love you, my Lord.
I trust your plans.
They are perfect like I'll be when you're through.
So I am not afraid to love you.
I let you create. I let you reshape.
I will give you all that's mine.
I don't understand
I know you'll hold my hand
So mourn your head and take your time.
So I am not afraid to love you anymore.
No, I am not afraid to love you, my Lord.
I trust your plans.
They are perfect like I'll be when you're through.
So I am not afraid to love you.
No, I am not afraid to love you anymore.
I am not afraid to love you, my Lord.
I trust your plans.
They are perfect like I'll be when you're through.
I've got nowhere to turn,
I've got nowhere to hide,
And I've got no alibi,
You've been following me,
You know my history,
and no matter how hard I try,
I can't explain away,
The way I feel today,
There's only one thing I can say:
It's You, You found me.
You found me and You called me from the wilderness,
From my cave of emptiness,
Yeah, You, You found me.
You found me in the places of my lonliness,
You told me there was more than this,
You captured me with tenderness,
Yeah, You found me.
There was so many days,
Trying to figure out ways,
to explain what I feel inside.
I tried to fill up my soul,
without, losing control,
this desire never did subside.
I'm ready to give in.
I know I'll never win.
The hide and seek that I've been in.
You, You found me.
You found me and You called me from the wilderness,
From my cave of emptiness,
Yeah, You, You found me.
You found me in the places of my lonliness,
You told me there was more than this,
You captured me with tenderness,
Yeah, You found me.
In the pit of despair,
I was all alone there.
I wasn't looking for You,
But You found me anyway.
You put Your hand on face,
Then you changed my ways.
Nothing can separate me from...
You,'Cause You found me.
You found me and You called me from the wilderness,
From my cave of emptiness,
Yeah, You, You found me.
You found me in the places of my lonliness,
You told me there was more than this,
You captured me with tenderness,
Yeah, You found me.
You found me.
You found me and You called me from the wilderness,
From my cave of emptiness,
Yeah, You, You found me.
You found me in the places of my lonliness,
You said there's more to life than this,
You captured me with tenderness,
Yeah, You found me.
There's an anthem ringing out
You can hear it clear and loud
Coming from the hearts of men
Echoing the Great I Am
And it goes on and on and on and never fades away
On and on and on and so we join today
We sing alleluia
Praise Your name and glorify
We sing alleluia
Lift our voices to the sky
There's a song that never dies
It lives within the heart that cries
Out for mercy on the streets
It's a cry of love and harmony
And it goes on and on and on and never fades away
On and on and on and so we join today
Men have praised You
Through the ages
Followers who have gone before us
So we stand before You
And we lift our voices
I find myself alone again
Staring at the stars You made
You threw them into place and then
Said it all was great
That You would shoose to make me just amazes me
But You have told me follow and believe, so...
Why do I, why do I, why do I ever wonder why
Why You love me
Why do I , why do I, why do I ever wonder why
With all the ways You've shown me
Just how small I am and how tall You are
And where I was before, and I say
Why do I, why do I , why do I ever wonder why
I find myself awake again
Thinkin' bout eternity
How I am just a grain of sand and that
You have a plan for me
That You would chose to love me just amazes me
I may never be the reason
That people come from miles around
Just to hear that beautiful sound
I may never see the season
Where people love to hear me speak
And everybody wants to be me
Dare I go where I can't see
And if I do will You go with me
Maybe it's time that I just learn to believe
That I may never be a millionaire
Funny I don't think I care
May never see the mountain view
I guess I don't need to
I may never drive a fancy car
Or be a movie star
But I'll be, I'll be, the light of the world
I may never hold the answers
To questions of philosophy
Or even understand what that means
And I may never cure the cancer
That seems to run our busy lives
I guess that I'll just join in the fight
Dare I go where I can't see
And if I do will You go with me
Maybe it's time that I just learn to believe
I may never be a hero
Or set my feet on Wall Street
Or give the evening news
I look at you and my knees grow weak
I can't think and i can't speak
I wonder how you got to me
Just another day with you
You hold my hand and my face turns red
All the blood rushes to my head
I'd like to say that it's hot instead
It's just another day with you
Baby, it could never be commonplace
To put my arms around you and be swept away
'cause
You are
Beautiful under this
Wonderful amazing sky
That I'm sure the lord made just for you
And you are
Everything that I could
Ever dream about
And I thank God
For just another day with you
Maybe it's the way you smell
A dream come true from a wishing well
A million things so i can't tell
Just another day with you
It might be the clothes you wear
Or the way you toss back that blond hair
It seems like this is so unfair
Just another day with you
It might sound crazy by my heart still skips a beat
Whenever you are sitting next to me
So come a little closer and I will tell you
