I've had days that felt like a thousand years
And years that just fly by
I've had times I've been so sure in life
And then nothing worked out right
I put my hope in so many things I thought that I would need
But it doesn't mean anything, anything, anything to me
I've been around a crowd of people
And felt so all alone
Tried to give up being different
So that I could just belong
Some have tried to tell me who I'm supposed to be
But it doesn't mean anything, anything to me
Only You, You satisfy
Only You are the love of my life
If I got everything I want, no, it still wouldn't do
I got a whole lotta' nothing if I don't got You
When then mirror doesn't match the cover of a magazine
And I'm consumed with all of my fears and insecurities
'Cause I had my idol for a while, but now I finally I see
That it didn't mean anything, anything, no
A whole lotta nothing
Oh Lord, I believe it's a
Whole lotta nothing
If You ain't close to me

I remember feeling like I was all alone
Couldn't ever give anybody else control
Heavy burdens always seemed to weigh me down
I called out, "save me now"
There You were to catch me when I couldn't stand
â'Cause I was falling, falling with no way to land
I'm amazed by Your everlasting love
Your strength lifted me up
Oh, my Lord, You gone and set me free
Oh, my Lord ain't nothing holding on me
Oh, my Lord it's a brand new day
Somebody raise your hands and sing, "Oh, my Lord"
Since I met You, I have been forever changed
Let the water rise, I don't have to be afraid
You know I'll praise You every season of my life
My Jesus, I'll testify
You saved me, forgave me, and now I believe
I belong to the King of kings
Written by Cindy Morgan
If what you thought was the truth is a lie
And what you fought to keep on breathing has died
You face the lonely nights and wrestle with the dark
And you reach to find the love to fill the space inside your heart
It's hard to put it into words the way you feel
It's an ache and emptiness that lingers still
Are you a victim of the past without a trace of hope in sight?
And it all goes by so fast without a way to make it right
If you worry, don't worry
God will come and wrap His arms around you
It wouldn't be too much
For Him to love you as He found you
And it may seem like you're too far gone
But He loves you like His only Son
And He will come
He will come
From the bounty of a river there's a flow
And from the beauty of the Father's heart's a home
That never leaves you empty no, and never leaves you bare
So come and bring your guilt and shame
Come and leave it there
If you're willing, He is willing
Oh, you don't have to be worthy
You don't have to be anything but willing to fall into His arms
Willing to fall into His arms
Have you ever heard a love song
That set your spirit free
Have you ever watched a sunrise
And felt you could not breathe
What if it's Him
What if it's God speaking
Have you ever cried a tear that
You could not explain
Have you ever met a stranger
That already knew your name
What if it's Him
What if it's God speaking
Who knows how He'll get a hold of us
Get our attention to prove He is enough
He'll do and He'll use
Whatever He wants to
To tell us I love you
Have you ever lost a loved one
Who you thought should still be here
Do you know what it feels like
To be tangled up in fear
What if He's somehow involved
What if He's speaking through it all
Who knows how He'll get a hold of us
Get our attention to prove He is enough
He'll do and He'll use
Whatever He wants to
To tell us I love you
His ways are higher
His ways are better
Though sometimes strange
What could be stranger
Than God in a manger
Who knows how He'll get a hold of us
Get our attention to prove He is enough
He'll do and He'll use
Whatever He wants to
To tell us I love you
God is speaking
I look at my life
And I still can't believe it
How did I make it
To where I stand now?
You don't understand
I was up against the whole world
And all I could feel was it breaking me down
But out of a hopeless situation
There came a song of redemption
[Chorus]
Life may push my heart to the limit
But I won't let go
Of the joy in my soul
?Cause everything can change in a minute
And the world may try
But they're never gonna steal my joy
So get up, stand up
And rise above it
If every plan
That you've made goes so wrong
You don't have to give in to the struggle
You may be down
But don't stay there for long
In every hopeless situation
There is a song of redemption
[Chorus]
The world may say
You're never gonna make it
The world may say
You're not strong enough to take it
But I don't care
?Cause the joy of the Lord is real
And they're never gonna steal my joy
Well, I'm gonna send thee one by one
One for the little bitty baby
Who was born, born, born in bethlehem
Said he was born, born, born in bethlehem
Children go where I send thee: how shall I send thee?
Hey, I'm gonna send thee two by two
Two for paul and silas
One for the itty bitty baby
Who was born, born, born in bethlehem.
Children go where I send thee: how shall I send thee?
[Repeat, singing verses in descending order]
I'm gonna send the:
Three by three, three for the hebrew children
Four by four, four for the four that stood at the door
Five by five, five for the five that stayed alive
Six by six, six for the six that never got fixed
Seven by seven, seven for the seven who never got to heavn
Eight by eight, eight for the eight that stood at the gate
Nine by nine, nine for the nine that dressed so fine
Ten by ten, ten for the ten commandments
Well, I'm tired of saying everything
I feel like I'm supposed to say
I'm tired of smiling all the time
I wanna throw the mask away
Sometimes you just have a bad day
Sometimes you just wanna scream
Tell me I'm not the only one
Tell me that you feel just like me
We keep tryin to make it look so nice
And we keep hidin' what's goin on inside
But what if I share my brokenness
What if you share how you feel
And what if we weren't afraid of this crazy mess
What if we were real
What if we were real
I'm over hidin my tears
I think I'm gonna let em' go
I'm over actin so strong
When I ain't even in control
We make it so complicated
But why does it have to be
Why can't we open our hearts and let everybody see
We keep tryin to make it look so nice
And we keep hidin' what's goin on inside
But what if I share my brokenness
What if you share how you feel
And what if we weren't afraid of this crazy mess
What if we were real
We'd think a little less of ourselves
We'd care about someone else
'Cause we'd know just how they feel
Maybe we could let someone love us
Maybe we'd a little more like Jesus
Why can't we learn to real
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na (yeah, yeah)
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
We keep tryin to make it look so nice
And we keep hidin' what's goin on inside
But what if I share my brokenness
What if you share how you feel
And what if we weren't afraid of this crazy mess
What if we were real
You've got to be real
You've got to be real
You've got to be real
You've got to
You've got to
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na
Some people try to listen to the bottom of a bottle
Some people try to listen to a needle in their arm
Some people try to listen to the money in their pocket
Some people try to listen to another's arms
You and I are not that different
We got a void and we're just trying to fill it up
With something that will give just a little peace
All we want is a hand to reach to
Open arms that say I love you
We'd give anything to hear
The voice of a Savior
Some people try to find it with blind ambition
Some people try to find it where no one else has gone
Some people try to find it in the crowns of victory
Some people get defeated and lose the strength to carry on
You and I are not that different
We got a void and we're just trying to fill it up
With something that will give just a little peace
All we want is a hand to reach to
Open arms that say I love you
We'd give anything to hear
The voice of a Savior
Some people try to find it in the shadow of a steeple
Some people try to find it in the back row pew
Some people try to find it in the arms of Jesus
That's where I found it, how about you
You and I are not that different
We got a void and we're just trying to fill it up
With something that will give just a little peace
All we want is a hand to reach to
Open arms that say I love you
We'd give anything to hear
The voice of a Savior
The voice of a Savior
We'd give anything to hear
The voice of a Savior
The voice of a Savior
If You could send a burning bush to Moses
Lead Your people home through a parted sea
Give a boy the strength to defeat Goliath
I know You will always take care of me
With You on my side, I am victorious
With You on my side, I've got nothing to fear
So I can walk through this valley with confidence
Knowing You will deliver me
If You could raise the dead bones of Lazarus
If You could feed five-thousand with a couple fish and a loaf of bread
And in the middle of a stormy night You can walk on water
I know, I know, I know nothing's out of Your hands
[Chorus]
If You could pull me out of my sin
And give me new life within
And keep all Your promises
And Your Word is true then
I don't have to be afraid
I know this is the day You made
So no matter what comes my way
(Verse 1)
I never liked mondays or bad news
Or breaking in new shoes
And mornings when I can't find my phone
Nobody likes traffic or short nights
Or sit-ups or long flights
But sometimes
That's just the way it goes
It's funny what you use to help me grow
(Chorus)
So I'll learn to love these days
Life along the way
In the middle
Of the crazy
God, your love is so amazing
Through the ups and downs
Your the only hope I've found
Lord you meet me
In the madness
So I'll learn to love these days
Learn to love these days
(Verse 2)
I can see silver lining
When the suns not shining
Even when you
Choose to bring the rain
Oh, but there's freedom believing
And trusting your leading
Cause your lord of all my joy and all my pain
(Chorus)
I could waste a hundred years
You gave me here
The days when you were near
The days when I was out there
Looking for what comes next
Ohoh cause every minute,
Every hour
Everyday is such a gift
And I'm content
I'm thankful for each breath
(Chorus)
It don't hurt anymore
All my teardrops are dried
No more walkin' the floor
With that burnin' inside
Just to think it could be
Time has opened the door
And at last I am free
I don't hurt anymore
(Chorus)
No use to deny I wanted to die
The day you said we were thru
But now that I find you're out of my mind
I can't believe that it's true
I've forgotten somehow
That I cared so before
And it's wonderful now
I don't hurt anymore
Everbody's got an opinion
Of what they want me to be.
Everybody's got a condition
That I may never meet.
So tired of lookin in the mirror
It always says the same thing
I wanna be about somethin different
Somethin more than the mirror can see.
Like Joy, Peace
Alive in me.
When it comes to my identity.
I want the love.
I want the life.
I want the beauty only inside.
I want the one that you can't see.
To be the definition of me.
More than the face.
More than the girl.
More than the voice.
More than the world.
I want the truth that I believe.
To be the definition of me.
Pretty is cool for a minute
But it always fades away.
Trends are hot for a second
Then they're gone the very next day.
So before you get lost in the moment
Let's get one thing clear.
That love will last forever.
It's the reason that we're here.
It's up to you.
Cause everybody's lookin.
How do you want them to see? (yea)
I want the love.
I want the life.
I want the beauty only inside.
I want the one that you can't see.
To be the definition of me.
More than the face.
More than the girl.
More than the voice.
More than the world.
I want the truth that I believe.
To be the definition of me.
Said I'm cute with the boots
And the trendy attire.
Said they're kinda remanicin
Bout a younter Maraya.
But do they see beyond what I got
What I rock.
They'd be shocked if they knew
It was my soul that was hot.
Boys won't effect my own self respect.
And neither do the magazines at Vanity Tech.
Yo Disa make a list of what's fly
And what's next.
Start it off with Joy, Peace,
And end it with Blessed.
I want the love.
I want the life.
I want the beauty only inside.
I want the one that you can't see.
To be the definition of me.
More than the face.
More than the girl.
More than the voice.
More than the world.
I want the truth that I believe.
To be the definition of me.
I want you to be my definition.
De-de-definition.
Want you to be my definition.
Definition of me.
I want you to be my definition.
De-de-definition.
Want you to be my definition.
People goin on and on
They don't know what they got wrong
This world won't keep you satisfied
You gotta buy this
Wear this, drive that car
'Cause that's the kind of thing
That makes you who you are
But don't keep throwin that my way
No more temporary fills
I want a love that's real
Take everything I have and fill me up inside
I'm done looking for the quick fix
Jesus your love is all I'll ever need
No more temporary fills
I've turned every rock and stone
Gone everywhere there was to go
But I only felt better for a while
'Cause nothin can replace you
Erase you from my heart
And that's the kind of thing
That makes you who you are
Your the reason I can say
No more temporary fills
I want a love that's real
Take everything I have and fill me up inside
I'm done looking for the quick fix
Jesus your love is all I'll ever need
And nothin temporary could ever make me
Feel the way you do
'Cause what you've given to me
I know that it will last my whole life through
Woah
No more temporary fills
I want a love that's real
Take everything I have and fill me up inside
I'm done looking for the quick fix
Jesus, your love is all I'll ever need
No more temporary fills
No more
No more
No more
Hey, heard you were up all night
Thinking about how your world ain't right
And you wonder if things will ever get better
And you're asking why is it always raining on you
When all you want is just a little good news
Instead of standing there stuck out in the weather
Oh, don't hang your head
It's gonna end
God's right there
Even if it's hard to see Him
I promise you that He still cares
[Chorus]
When the waves are taking you under
Hold on just a little bit longer
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
The pain ain't gonna last forever
And things can only get better
Believe me
This is gonna make you stronger
Gonna make you stronger, stronger, stronger
Believe me, this is gonna make you Stronger
Try and do the best you can
Hold on and let Him hold your hand
And go on and fall into the arms of Jesus
Oh, lift your head it's gonna end
God's right there
Even when you just can't feel Him
I promise you that He still cares
[Chorus]
'Cause if He started this work in your life
He will be faithful to complete it
If only you believe it
He knows how much it hurts
And I'm sure that He's gonna help you get through this
When the waves are taking you under
Hold on just a little bit longer
He knows that this is gonna make you stronger, stronger
The pain ain't gonna last forever
In time it's gonna get better
Believe me
Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace, sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night, shepherds quake at the sight
Glory stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia
Christ, the Saviour is born, Christ, the Saviour is born
Silent night, holy night, Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
O Holy Night! The stars are brightly shining,
It is the night of the dear Saviour's birth.
Long lay the world in sin and error pining.
Till He appeared and the Spirit felt it's worth.
A thrill of hope the weary world rejoices,
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn.
Fall on your knees! Oh, hear the angel voices!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born;
O night, O Holy Night, O night divine!
O night, O Holy Night, O night divine!
Led by the light of faith serenely beaming,
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand.
O'er the world a star is sweetly gleaming,
Now come the wisemen from out of the Orient land.
The King of kings lay thus lowly manger;
In all our trials born to be our friends.
He knows our need, our weakness is no stranger,
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Behold your King! Before him lowly bend!
Truly He taught us to love one another,
His law is love and His gospel is peace.
Chains he shall break, for the slave is our brother.
And in his name all oppression shall cease.
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful chorus raise we,
With all our hearts we praise His holy name.
Christ is the Lord! Then ever, ever praise we,
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
I stand accused
There's a list a mile long
Of all my sins
Of everything that I've done wrong
I'm so ashamed
There's nowhere left for me to hide
This is the day
I must answer for my life
My fate is in the Judge's hands
But then He turns to me and says
I know you
I love you
I gave My life to save you
Love paid the price for mercy
My verdict not guilty
How can it be?
I can't begin to comprehend
What kind of grace
Would take the place of all my sin?
I stand in awe
Now that I have been set free
And the tears well up as I look at that cross
'Cause it should have been me
My fate was in the nail scarred hands
He stretched them out for me and said
[Chorus]
I'm falling on my knees to thank You
With everything I am I'll praise You
So grateful for the words I heard You say
Long time ago in Bethlehem
So the Holy Nible say
Mary's boy child Jesus Christ
Was born on Christmas day
Hark now hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen what they say
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
While shepherds watch their flock by night
They see a bright new shining star
Then hear a choir sing
The music seemed to come from afar
Now Joseph and his wife Mary
Come to Bethlehem that night
Then find no place to born the child
Not a single room was in sight
Hark now hear the angels sing
A new king born today
And man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
Trumpets sound and angels sing
Listen what they say
That man will live forevermore
Because of Christmas day
By and by they find a little nook
In a stable all forlorn
And in a manger cold and dark
Here I am drowning in
A sea of my own choices
Holding to hope by a thread (Yeah)
I'm looking 'round, I'm calling out
Fear pulls me down
When the waters rush over my head
Chorus:
You are my lifeline
You are my rescue
Strength in my weakness
Light in my darkness
You are my safety
Lifter of my head
The air that I need when I can't seem to breathe in
You are my lifeline
You are my lifeline
How many times, how many turns
Will it take 'till I learn
You reach for me in my need (Yeah)
And when I cry I know that I'll
Faithfully find you
When life comes crashing on me
Chorus:
You are my lifeline
You are my rescue
Strength in my weakness
Light in my darkness
You are my safety
Lifter of my head
The air that I need when I can't seem to breathe in
You are my lifeline
You are my lifeline
You're there in my brokenness, in my distress
My rock when I'm strong or when I'm powerless
You hold me in rushing tides when waters rise
And I'll always find
Chorus:
You are my lifeline
You are my rescue
Strength in my weakness
Light in my darkness
You are my safety
Lifter of my head
The air that I need when I can't seem to breathe in
(Repeat once)
You are my lifeline
You are my lifeline
You are my lifeline
I got your message on the phone so tell me what's going on?
You say your day started so great and then it went so wrong
No one ever plans for the bad days, do they, no
But I am here if you're needing a friend
Hey, don't give up tonight
I know you're going through the valley, but you're gonna make it out alright
Hey, tell your troubles goodbye
Go on and leave it in the valley, leave it in the valley tonight
So you think He don't know what He's doing
You think He ain't by your side
Well, God knows when you're broken
And He's loving you, He's holding you so, so tight
So let the rain fall He'll be standing there getting wet with you
You might get cold but you won't be there alone
[Chorus]
And when you're hanging by a thread hold on
You know the darkest part is right before the dawn
So when your fear has worn you out
Feels like the sky is on the ground
He ain't gonna let you down
He'll never let you down
Why you gotta act be so strong
Go ahead and take off your brave face
Why you tellin me that nothin's wrong
It's obvious your not in a good place
Who's tellin you to keep it all inside
And never let those feelings
Get past the corner of your eye
You don't need to run
You don't need to speak
Baby take some time
Let those prayers roll down your cheek
It maybe tomorrow
You'll be past the sorrow
But tonight it's alright
Just cry
I know you know your Sunday songs
A dozen verse by memory
Yeah they're good but life is hard
And days get long
You gotta know God can handle your honesty
So feel the things your feeling
And a sadness, loneliness and anger
Let it out, let it out
You don't need to run
You don't need to speak
Baby take some time
Let those prayers roll down your cheek
It maybe tomorrow
You'll be past the sorrow
But tonight it's alright
Just cry
Just cry
It doesn't mean you don't trust him
It doesn't mean you don't believe
It doesn't mean you don't know
He's redemming everything
You don't need to run
You don't need to speak
Baby take some time
Let those prayers roll down your cheek
It maybe tomorrow
You'll be past the sorrow
But tonight it's alright
But tonight it's alright
Just cry
Why you gotta act so strong
Joy to the world, the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.
Joy to the earth, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.
No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Anything you want done baby
Ill do it naturally
Cause Im every woman
Its all in me
Its all in me
(chorus 1): Im every woman
Its all in me
Anything you want done baby
I do it naturally
(chorus 2): Im every woman
Its all in me
I can read your thoughts right now
Every one from a to z
I can cast a spell
Of secrets you can tell
Mix a special brew
Put fire inside of you
Anytime you feel danger or fear
Instantly I will appear, cause
(chorus 1)
Oh, I consent your needs
Like rain on to the seeds
I can make a rhyme
Of confusion in your mind
And when I comes down to some good old fashioned love
I got it
I got it
I got it, got, got it, baby, baby, baby
(chorus 1 & 2)
I aint braggin
Cause Im the one
Just ask me
Ooh, and it shall be done
And dont bother
To compare
Wave away my yesterday
'Cause I'm leaving it behind me
Hello sunshine, come what may
I feel something new inside me
I hear the birds singing
Now my alarm's ringing
Get up, get up, hey
It's a good morning
Wake up to a brand new day
This morning
I'm stepping, stepping
Stepping on my way
Good morning
You give me strength
You give me just what I need
And I can feel the hope
That's rising in me
It's a good morning
Slow down, breathe in
Don't move ahead
I'm just living in this moment
I've got my arms raised, un-phased
Jump out of bed
Gotta get this party going
I went to bed dreaming
You woke me up singing
Get up, get up, hey
It's a good morning
Wake up to a brand new day
This morning
I'm stepping, stepping
Stepping on my way
Good morning
You give me strength
You give me just what I need
And I can feel the hope
That's rising up in me
It's a good morning
Good morning
Now I'm smiling, and I'm kissing
All my worries goodbye
Got the feeling, if I spread my wings
I might even fly
You are my truth, my way
Give me the strength to say
Get up, get up, get up
'Cause it's a good morning
Mr Mac to the mic
Hey, top of the morning to you, 'Disa
You smoothie, me ice cold pizza
Cafe au lait, latte dah
You do the zumba, but I do not
Give me like half a marathon
I'll give you the gospel of St. John
Hits me like a wake up bomb
'Cause we both know that His mercy flows
In the morning
Wake up to a brand new day
This morning
I'm stepping, stepping
Stepping on my way
Good morning
You give me strength
You give me just what I need
I can feel the hope
That's rising up in me
It's a good morning
Wake up to a brand new day
This morning
I'm stepping, stepping
Stepping on my way
Good morning
You give me strength
You give me just what I need
I can feel the hope
That's rising up in me
It's a good morning
Top of the morning to you, 'Disa
Hey, top of the morning to you, girl
To-to-top of the morning to you, 'Disa
Morning little miss sunshine
Man, you morning people
Praise to the Lord, our chains are gone
Can't help but sing our freedom song
Praise to the Lord, our chains are gone
Can't help but sing our freedom...
I am a child from a broken home
Where true love was torn apart
But then I met a Heavenly Father
Who made a home inside my heart
I am a man with the chains of addiction
Dragging me down for way too long
But I came face to face with redemption
And now those chains are gone
Can anybody hear me?
Does anybody know what I'm talking about?
When you've been delivered like that
You've got to shout it out
Lift your hands up in the air
Shout Hallelujah
Lift your hands up in the air
I have been set free
I am a sixteen year old daughter
Lost in the mirror, no self esteem
But God made me in His image
And that makes me a beauty queen
I am a wife and the mother of three
Trading my dreams for a busy life
Searching for my lost identity
And I'm happy to announce that I found it in Christ
[Chorus]
Praise to the Lord, my chains are gone
Can't help but sing our freedom song
Praise to the Lord, my chains are gone
Can't help but sing our freedom song
F.r.e.e
Free
Fr.e.e
Free
Gonna tell the world what he did for me
Don't worry
Don't cry
That's a voice I hear inside
But it's hard for me to see
Tomorrow's but a dream
'Cause today's reality is right in front of me
They say you'll never make
They say you can never change it
What you are is what you'll always be
They say that I should give up
Once you're down you'll never get up
But that's not the truth for me
Who the son sets free
You best believe it's free indeed
Wanna take it to the streets
My Lord Delivered me
Who the son sets free
You best believe it's free indeed
Wanna dance and shout and scream
I'm free indeed!

Gonna tell the world what he did for me
I've tried and tried and tried
To make this mountain step aside
Or to climb it on my own
But what you did has more than helped
Do what I couldn't do myself
You said that I was not alone
Then I thought I'd never make
Then you can along and then you changed it
Made a way somehow and brought me through
As I was just about to give up
You took me hand said baby get up
Now here I am because of you
Stand beause of you!
Who the son sets free
You best believe it's free indeed
Wanna take it to the streets
My Lord Delivered me

Wanna dance and shout and scream
I'm free indeed!

Everybody's got a thing
But some don't know how to handle it
Always reachin' out in vain
Accepting the things not worth having but
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
Cause I'll be standing on the side
When you check it out
They say your style of life's a drag
And that you must go other places
But just don't you feel too bad
When you get fooled by smiling faces but
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
Cause I'll be standing on the side
When you check it out...
When you get off... your trip
Don't you worry 'bout a thing...
Don't you worry 'bout a thing...ooh
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, mama
Cause I'll be standing on the side
When you check it out...
When you get off... your trip
Everybody needs a change
A chance to check out the new
But you're the only one to see
The changes you take yourself through but
Don't you worry 'bout a thing
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, pretty mama
Cause I'll be standing in the wings
When you check it out
[Verse 1:]
Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echo back their joy-ous strains
[Chorus:]
Glo-ri-a
In excelsis De-o
Glo-ri-a
In excelsis De-o
[Verse 2:]
Shepherds, why this jubilee?
Why your joyous strains prolong?
Say what may the tidings be,
Which inspire your heav'nly song?
[Verse 3:]
Come to Bethelehem and see
Him whose birth the an-gels sing
Come, adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn King
[Verse 4:]
See within a manger laid
Jesus Lord of heavn and earth
Mary, Joseph lend your aid
Most holy Lord
You have my attention
You know my thoughts
And all my intentions
I want to honor You in every way
I pour my love on You
My whole life belongs to You
I worship You completely unashamed
I give You my heart unrestrained
Almighty God
You have my devotion
With all my mind and all my emotion
I want to, God, I want to know You more
I pour my love like oil from this broken heart
I give myself away unrestrained
I let myself go
You have set me free
I surrender my soul
I bow my heart in worship
Completely unashamed
All you saw was pain all you saw was rain but you should see me now moments filled with tears lasted all those years disappeared somehow you never said goodbye on your knees youd cry your still asking why, but
(chorus)
blue has never been bluer true has never been truer honey never tasted so sweet theres a song in the breeze a million voices in praise a rose has never smelled redder the sun has never been brighter if i could find the right words to say if you could look at my face if you could just see yhis place you wouldnt cry for me today
what you think you see isnt really me im already home youve got to lay it down cause jesus holds me down and i am not alone your faith is wearing thin but i am watching him and hes holding you to, and
(chorus)
what may seem like years will just be a moment oh, the day will come when i show you where your going i cant wait to show you that
I was so helpless
Where did the light go?
I had no hope left
Deep down in my soul
I was watching, I was waiting
I was praying
I was staying down on my knees
That's right where you found
Chorus:
My deliverer
You rescued me
From all that held me captive
My deliverer
You set me free
Now I'm alive and I can live
So every moment I will give you praise
My Deliverer
There's no pretending
I can't do it myself
I'm so dependent
Lord, I need your help
I'll be watching, I'll be waiting
I'll be praying
I'll be staying down on my knees
That's right where you'll find me
Chorus:
My deliverer
You rescued me
From all that held me captive
My deliverer
You set me free
Now I'm alive and I can live
So every moment I will give you praise
My deliverer
La, la, la, la, la I need you
You know whatever I'm going through
I'll be watching, I'll be waiting
I'll be praying
I'll be staying down on my knees
That's right where you'll find me...
Chorus:
My deliverer
You rescued me
From all that held me captive
My deliverer
You set me free
Now I'm alive and I can live
So every moment I will give you praise
Do you think that a California girl
Is supposed to have curls and wear a jean size 3
All the curves in all the right places
Spray tanned faces just like on TV?
And we read in the gospel of Vogue
That we’re all suppose to dress and move and be
Visions of perfection
Such a misconception
'Cause the real connection is deeper than the eye can see
What's inside of you
What's inside of me
The hands that made the moon and stars
The mountains and the seas
Made you wonderful, beautiful, marvelously
Let the whole world see your
True beauty
Don't know much about Dolce & Gabbana
Seems like a lot of drama to me
And you can keep all your red high heels
And open-toed shoes - I'm good in my bare feet
Let's get down to the nitty gritty
Enough sex and the city
What about purity
Skin is just the surface
The passion and the purpose
That’s burning down inside us
Is really what we need to see
What's inside of you
What's inside of me
The hands that made the moon and stars
The mountains and the seas
Made you wonderful, beautiful, marvelously
Let the whole world see your
True beauty
Doesn't come in a bottle, doesn't come in a box
You can't spray it on, you can't wash it off
You can't nip and tuck, you can't sew it up
So don't waste your time
It's the love in your heart, the peace in your soul
The hope in your smile lets the whole world know
I need a minute, can we get some time?
We both know we don't see eye to eye
I know it's hard on us when we disagree
But don't you think that you and me could take a chance?
And love somebody, somebody needs you
You could be the one to
Love somebody, take a chance and pass it on
You could be the one to love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
I had a dream just the other day
With blinded eyes we let real love guide the way
Nobody felt we had to look the same or talk the game
We found true beauty and we weren't afraid to go ahead
And love somebody, somebody needs you
You could be the one to
Love somebody, take a chance and pass it on
You could be the one to
Love somebody, somebody needs you
You could be the one to love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
If Mandisa ain't changed your mind
It oughta be flipped by the end of this rhyme
But she gave me eight to flow and translate
Recalibrate, end all debates
'Cause this bomb is about to drop, y'all
Diverse City just can't be stopped
So here we go, come, check the show
Come one, come all, come overflow with love
Yeah, love somebody, somebody needs you
You could be the one to
Love somebody, take a chance and pass it on
You could be the one to
Love somebody, somebody needs you
You could be the one to love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Go ahead and love somebody, somebody needs you
You could be the one to
Love somebody, take a chance and pass it on
You could be the one to love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Love, love, love, love
Come on, if Mandisa ain't changed your mind
It oughta be flipped by the end of this rhyme
If Mandisa ain't changed your mind
It oughta be flipped by the end of this rhyme
If Mandisa ain't changed your mind
It oughta be flipped by the end of this rhyme
If Mandisa ain't changed your mind
Maybe tomorrow I'll start over
Maybe tomorrow I will finally change my ways
Said the same thing yesterday
Don't know why I'm so afraid
To let You in, to let You win
To let You have all of me
I can't live my whole life wasting
All the grace that I know You've given
'Cause You made me for so much more than
Sitting on the sidelines
I don't wanna look back and wonder
If good enough could have been better
Every day's a day that's borrowed
So why am I waiting for tomorrow?
Why am I waiting for tomorrow?
Maybe today I'll start believing, yeah
That Your mercy really is as real as You say it is
It doesn't matter who I used to be
It only matters that I've been set free
You rescued me, You're changing me
Jesus, take everything, yeah
I can't live my whole life wasting
All the grace that I know You've given
'Cause You made me for so much more than
Sitting on the sidelines
I don't wanna look back and wonder
If good enough could have been better
Every day's a day that's borrowed
So why am I waiting for tomorrow?
Oh, I'm making this my moment now
To grab the hand that's reaching down
To save me, oh, You save me
And I'm making this my moment now
To grab the hand that's reaching down
To save me, oh, You save me
I can't live my whole life wasting
All the grace that I know You've given
'Cause You made me for so much more than
Sitting on the sidelines
I don't wanna look back and wonder
If good enough could have been better
Every day's a day that's borrowed
So why am I waiting for tomorrow?
Why am I waiting for tomorrow?
I'm gonna grab the hand that's reaching down
And I'm not gonna wait until tomorrow
If only I could see me as You see me
And understand the way that I am loved
Would it give a whole new meaning to my purpose?
Change the way I see the world
Would I sparkle like a star in the night sky?
Would I give a little more instead of take?
If I understood I'm precious like a diamond
Of a worth no one could estimate
I'm a worth no one could estimate
You say lovely, I say broken
I say guilty, You say forgiven
I feel lonely, You say You're with me
We both know it would change everything
If only I believed the truth about me
I wish I could hold on to the moments
When my life is spinning but I'm peaceful still
Like a wind You whisper into silence
And tell me things this world never will
You tell me things this world never will
You say lovely, I say broken
I say guilty, You say forgiven
Oh, I feel lonely, You say You're with me
We both know it would change everything
If only I believed the truth about me
I would sleep better at night
Wake up with hope for another day
I would love even if it cost me
Take a chance and know I'm gonna be okay
I would dare to give my life away
Oh, I feel lonely, You say You're with me
We both know it would change everything
I got all my excuses
I got my list of fears
I've counted all the reasons
Why you've called
The wrong hero
To be here
It's not safe,
It's just not worth it
Doing the right thing
Is just too hard
But I believed those lies
Long enough
And I'm not gonna
Listen anymore
'Cause I remember
You said
When all hope is gone
Help will come and
Give me strength
To go farther
And climb higher
Courage that burns
Inside like a fire
No turning back
This is the day
I will do what
I need to
And when I need you
I know you're
Love will come
To the rescue
No turning back
This is the day
I do the right thing
So what if I'm not
The strongest
A little weaker than
I'd like to be
Even I can do what's
Right because
I know the king is
Calling me
To live a life worth
Looking up to
Holding on to what
Matters most
Nobody said it was
Gonna be easy
But I know I will
Never go alone
'Cause when all
Hope is gone
Help will come
Come from above
And give me strength
To go farther
And climb higher
Courage that burns
Inside like a fire
No turning back
This is the day
I will do what
I need to
And when I need you
I know you're
Love will come
To the rescue
No turning back
This is the day
I do the right thing
Give me strength
To go farther
And climb higher
Courage that burns
Inside like a fire
No turning back
This is the day
I will do what
I need to
And when I need you
I know you're
Love will come
To the rescue
No turning back
This is the day
Take the shackles off my feet so I can dance
I just wanna praise You
I just wanna praise You
You broke the chains, now I can lift my hands
And I'm gonna praise You
I'm gonna praise You
In the corners of mind
I just can't seem to find a reason to believe
That I can break free
'Cause you see I have been down for so long
Feel like all hope is gone
But as I lift my hands, I understand
That I should praise You through my circumstance
Everything that could go wrong
All went wrong at one time
So much pressure fell on me
I thought I was gonna lose my mind
But I know You wanna see
If I will hold on through these trials
But I need You to lift this load
'Cause I can't take it no more
Been through the fire and the rain
Bound in every kind of way
But God has broken every chain
To the voice
To the liar in the mirror
Saying you can't ever change
To the guilt that's sittin on your shoulder
Always keeping you wrapped in chains
To the past that you can't undo
To the pain that your walking thru
To the small and the big mistakes
This is what Love wants to say
CHORUS
Say Goodbye Say Goodbye
To the one that used to be
Say Goodbye Say Goodbye
Everday is a brand new mercy
(Hello, Hello)
This is where it starts now
(Hello, Hello)
Everything can turn around
In a moment, here's your moment
You can Say Goodbye
There is grace that you can't imagine
There is love that you can't out run
There is peace you can hold onto
When your world is comin undone
You don't have to give into the fear
Don't have to let your story stop here
When the hand tries to pull you back
You don't have to go back
You don't have to go back
Chorus
To everything that breaks you down
It doesn't have to define you now
Jesus can take it all away
Chorus
Say Goodbye Say Goodbye
Your not the one you used to be
Say Goodbye Say Goodbye
Everyday is a brand new mercy
(Hello, Hello)
This is where it starts now
(Hello, Hello)
Everything can turn around
In a moment, here's the moment
Where you Say Goodbye
Been a hard one
Been a bad one
Been a tough one
Been a sad one
It's been just one of those days
That keeps chipping away at my heart
Nothin' new here
It's what I do here
It's a stereotypical day in the life
I'm surrounded by all of the pain and the strife
But I know it's alright
'Cause it's only the world I'm living in
It's only today I've been given
There ain't no way I'm giving in
'Cause it's only the world
I know the best is still yet to come
'Cause even when my days in the world are done
There's gonna be so much more
Than only the world for me
Anybody, can you hear me?
Do you feel me?
I mean do you feel me?
I know I'm not the only one
Wearing the weight of this world
We got problems, said it's alright
Just remember, yeah it's alright
Take a good look around
We're just stuck on the ground for a little while
Don't it make you smile
'Cause it's only the world I'm living in
It's only today I've been given
There ain't no way I'm giving in
'Cause it's only the world
I know the best is still yet to come
'Cause even when my days in the world are done
There's gonna be so much more
Than only the world for me
Heaven is a place
Where the tears on every face will be wiped away
Oh, and I can't wait to go
But for now, it's enough to know
This is only temporary
'Cause it's only the world I'm living in
It's only today I've been given
There ain't no way I'm giving in
'Cause it's only the world
I know the best is still yet to come
'Cause even when my days in the world are done
There's gonna be so much more

How much, how much
Do you really know
How much, how much
Well let me tell you
How much, how much
You are loved
These words go out to anyone
Who's ever felt so unlovable
I'd just like to say to you
That lie is so not true
This message is for the broken down
They say you can't turn your life around
No matter what you do
Well that lie is so not true
Chorus:
How much, how much
Do you really know
How much, how much
Well let me tell you
How much, how much
You are loved
Take the depths of the deepest ocean and go deeper
Take the top of the tallest tower and go higher
Take the best day that you've ever had
Try to imagine better than that
And it still don't come close
To how much you are loved
Don't worry about what you've done
God's love goes out to everyone
And here's the wonderful, beautiful truth
That includes me and you
So let it find you where you are
Wrap it's arms around your weary heart
And all the love you're longing for
You'll find all that love and more
Chorus:
How much, how much
Do you really know
How much, how much
Well let me tell you
How much, how much
There's a time to live
And a time to die
There's a time to laugh
And a time to cry
There's a time for war
And a time for peace
There's a hand to hold
In the worst of these
In the worst of these
Chorus:
He is with you when your faith is dead
And you can't even get out of bed
Or your husband doesn't kiss you anymore
He is with you when your baby's gone
And your house is still and your heart's a stone
Cryin' God, what'd you do that for?
He is with you
There's a time for yes
And a time for no
There's a time to be angry
And a time to let it go
There's a time to run
And a time to face it
There is love to see you
Through all of this
Chorus:
He is with you in the conference room
When the world is coming down on you
And your wife and kids don't know you anymore
And he is with you in the ICU
When the doctors don't know what to do
And it scares you to the core
He is with you
We may weep for a time
But joy will come in the morning
The morning light
Chorus:
He is with you when your kids are grown
When there's too much space and you feel alone
And you're worried if you got it right or wrong
Yes he is with you when you've given up
On ever finding your true love
Someone who feels like home
He is with you
When nothing else is left
And you take you final breath
With my love and my sadness
I come before You Lord
My heart's in a thousand pieces
Maybe even more
Yet I trust in this moment
You're with me somehow
And You've always been faithful
So Lord even now
When all that I can sing
Is a broken hallelujah
When my only offering
Is shattered praise
Still a song of adoration
Will rise up from these ruins
I will worship You and give You thanks
Even when my only praise
Is a broken hallelujah
Oh Father, You have given
Much more than I deserve
And I have felt Your hand of blessing
On me at every turn
How could I doubt Your goodness
Your wisdom, Your grace
So Lord hear my heart
In this painful place
[Chorus]
Hallelujah
I lift my voice
Your Spirit moves
I raise my hands
I reach for You
Feels like I've been holding my breath, trying to still my restless heart
Everything hangs on my next step, finding my nerve, playing my part
I found shelter underneath His crown, found favor inside His eyes
Rock this boat, and I just might drown, honesty seems to come with a price
There's a time to hold your tongue, time to keep your head down
There's a time but it's not now
Sometimes you gotta go, uninvited
Sometimes you gotta speak when you don't have the floor
Sometimes you gotta move, when everybody else says you should stay
No way, no, not today
You gotta ask, if you want an answer
Sometimes you gotta stand apart from the crowd
Long before your heart could run the risk
You were born for this
You were born for this
I'm leaning on the ones before me, my father's father's dreams
I'm standing on the top of their shoulders calling the One delivering me
There's a time to hold your tongue, time to keep your head down
There's a time but it's not now
Sometimes you gotta go, uninvited
Sometimes you gotta speak when you don't have the floor
Sometimes you gotta move, when everybody else says you should stay
No way, no, not today
You gotta ask, if you want an answer
Sometimes you gotta stand apart from the crowd
Long before your heart could run the risk
You were born for this
You were born for this
One step, one move.
Born to trust You.
Made to lay my
Life before You
Sometimes you gotta go, uninvited
Sometimes you gotta speak when you don't have the floor
Sometimes you gotta move, when everybody else says you should stay
No way, no, not today
You gotta ask, if you want an answer
Sometimes you gotta stand apart from the crowd
Long before your heart could run the risk
You were born for this
You were born for this
You were born for this
You were born for this
