Todd Wilson Agnew (Born March 15, 1971 in Dallas, Texas) is a Contemporary Christian musician and songwriter.
Agnew's best-known song is a version of the hymn "Amazing Grace" called "Grace Like Rain" that was featured on his first album, Grace Like Rain, released in June 2003. Agnew wrote this song with his friend, Chris Collins. Since then, Agnew has released four label albums. 2005's Reflection of Something introduced the popular songs "My Jesus" and "Unchanging One", which are often featured on Contemporary Christian radio stations. In late 2006, after the two highly acclaimed studio projects, he wrote a retelling of the Christmas story on his album entitled Do You See What I See?. His fourth studio project, Better Questions, was released in 2007 and featured the hit single “Our Great God” (a duet featuring CCM artist Rebecca St. James).
Agnew's current label is Ardent Records. He was among the twelve artists selected to be a part of the Big Shiny Planet [UP] Bible study released through LifeWay and Family Christian Stores. Paralleling his song "Still Has a Hold" with Romans 7, Agnew elaborates on the subject of the faithfulness of God.
Rebecca St. James (born Rebecca Jean Smallbone; July 26, 1977), is a Christian pop rock singer, songwriter, musician, author, and actor. She began performing in Australia in the late 1980s and released her first full-length studio album in 1991. In 1993 she was signed to the record label ForeFront Records and released her major label debut a year later.
St. James rose to fame in the late 1990s with her RIAA certified Gold albums God and Pray, the latter of which won a Grammy Award in 1999 for Best Rock Gospel Album. The albums spawned multiple singles including "God", "Pray", and "Yes, I Believe in God". Since then she has established herself as one of the most prominent musical artists in CCM with four additional full-length studio albums; Transform, Worship God, If I Had One Chance to Tell You Something, and I Will Praise You. Staple songs such as "Wait for Me", "Reborn", "Song of Love", "I Thank You", "Alive", and "Shine Your Glory Down" have all been derived from these releases. Since the beginning of her career, St. James has sold a total of two million albums.

Todd White - Don't Hold Back Your Life
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me I once was lost but now I'm found, was blind but now I see so clearly
Chorus:
hallelujah, grace like rain
falls down on me
hallelujah, all my stains
are washed away, washed away
Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved, how precious did that grace appear, the hour I first believed...
Chorus
when we've been here ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun, we've no less days to sing, your praise, than when we first begun
And I need some substance in this relativistic world
I need some truth in the middle of all these lies
And I need some comfort to wipe away these tears
And I need someone to tell me there's more to this life
And You are the Truth and You are the Life
And You are more than I ever dreamed
And You are the Door through which I find
You are all that I'll ever need and You are God
And I need some wisdom to choose which way to walk
And I need some strength to take this very step
And I need some faith to help these blinded eyes to see
I need something more than everything inside of me
And You are the Truth and You are the Life
(You are the Way)
And You are more than I ever dreamed
And You are the Door through which I find
(You are the Vine)
You are all that I'll ever need and You are God
You are the Truth, You are the Life
And You are more than I ever dreamed
And You are the Door through which I find
(You are the Vine)
You are all that I'll ever need and You are God
(You are)
And You are God
(You are)
I fell so far, I did not know anyone could save me
I could not find a light as far as I could see
My body lay broken at the bottom of my prison
My hope washed away as the waves crashed over me
You reached down and saved me
You parted the sea and so I could breathe
You reached down and saved me
You pulled me from all that was drowning me
I could not see the top of the well in which I'd fallen
And I was choking on the rising tide of filth and shame
You pulled me from the mouth of hell so You could hold me
You knew, You'd save me long before I called Your name
You reached down and saved me
You parted the sea and so I could breathe
You reached down and saved me
You pulled me from all that was drowning me
You reached down and saved me
You parted the sea and so I could breathe
You reached down and saved me
You pulled me from all that was drowning me
And you reached down and saved me
You parted the sea and so I could breathe
And you reached down, you reached down and saved me
You pulled me from all that was drowning me
From all that was drowning me
From all that was drowning me
Feat. Rebecca St. James
Eternal God, unchanging
Mysterious and unknown
Your boundless love, unfailing
In grace and mercy shown
Bright seraphim in ceaseless flight around Your glorious throne
They raise their voices day and night in praise to You alone
Hallelujah, Glory be to our great God
Lord, we are weak and frail
Helpless in the storm
Surround us with Your angels

Hold us in Your arms
Our cold and ruthless enemy, his pleasure is our harm
Rise up, O Lord, and he will flee before our sovereign God
Let every creature in the sea and every flying bird
Let every mountain, every field and valley of the earth
Let all the moons and all the stars in all the universe
I was born with no chance at life
Dead before I took my first breath
I was born with no family ties
Alone before I knew where I lived
They called me broken, worthless and a shame
They called me wasted, used up and chained
But You made me Your child and You called me Your own
Now they can call me but they've got to use my new name
I walked miles and couldn't find a home
There was no place that I belonged
I walked for days and days and weeks and years
Couldn't find a melody for my song
They called me broken, worthless and a shame
They called me wasted, used up and chained
But You made me Your child and You called me Your own
Now they can call me but they've got to use my new name
I don't need money, I don't need fame
I don't need the love that this world can bring
I don't need this prison, I don't need these chains
I'll admit I'm glad we're not disiples,
Out on a lake paralized with fright.
'Cause I'm afraid I might have laughed at Peter,
Until he stepped into that stormy night.
If You wanted me to walk on water,
Why'd you make the solid ground seem so right?
And i'll admit i'm glad i'm not King David,
Ruling over everything i see.
Cause I'd think i'd fallen for more then Bathsheba,
Your creations a temptation for me.
If you wanted me to love you only,
Why'd you make the moonlight sparkle in her eyes?
I'll admit i'm glad i'm not John the Baptist,
In a jail cell waiting for my day to die.
Cause atleast down here i know what were chasing,
And it's hard to trust Your dreams are so much better then mine.
If you wanted me to die to myself,
Why'd you make me fall so deeply in love with life?
If you wanted me to surrender,
Why'd you make these hands able to hold on... So tight?
So tight.
If you wanted me to be like you,
Who's my brother in Nashville, Tennessee?
Who's my sister in the village in Malawi?
Who's my lover in Washington DC?
Who's my neighbor, who's my loved one, who's my friend?
We are all family, we are all family
We are all family, we are all family
If we're all under one Father that makes us all brothers
We are all family
Who's my brother in a different kind of turf?
She's my sister struggling with her work
She's my mother, gave me all at birth
Who's my neighbor, who's my loved one, who's my friend?
We are all family, we are all family
We are all family, we are all family
If we're all under one Father that makes us all brothers
We are all family
Who's my neighbor, who's my loved one, who's my friend?
Who's my neighbor, who's my loved one, who's my friend?
We are all family, we are all family
We are all family, we are all family
You don't have to look like me for us to be brotherly
And you don't have to be like me for us to be family
You don't have to think like me for us to speak intimately
Don't have to agree with me for us to be family
You don't have to live near me for us to be neighborly
You don't have to dress like me for us to be family
You don't have to speak like me to love each other, you see
You don't have to be like me for us to be family, oh no
Come ye sinners, poor and needy
Weak and wounded, sick and sore
Jesus ready stands to save you
Full of pity, love and power
Come ye thirsty, come and welcome
God's free bounty glorify
True belief and true repentance
Every grace that brings you nigh
And I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in His arms
And in the arms of my dear Savior
No, there are ten thousand charms
Come ye weary an' heavy-laden
Lost and ruined by the fall
And if you tarry until you're better
You will never come at all
And I will arise and go to Jesus
And He will embrace me in His arms
And in the arms of my dear Savior
Oh, there are ten thousand charms
Ten thousand charms
And I will arise and go to Jesus
And He will embrace me in His arms
And in the arms of my dear Savior
Oh, there are ten thousand charms
I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in His arms
And in the arms of my dear Savior
Oh, there are ten thousand charms
No, there are ten thousand charms
Each crack of that whip was for my mistakes
Blood is on my hands
Each stumble up that hill was my step to take
Blood is on my hands
And how do I say thanks for this?
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Until my ransomed soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
Each tear that flowed was by my sorrow sown
Blood is on my hands
Each drop that was spilled, my debt fulfilled
His blood is on my hands
How can I say thanks for this?
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Until my ransomed soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
Jesus keep me near the cross
There a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream
Flows from Calvary's mountain
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Until my ransomed soul shall find
And I searched the world for a song that I could sing
Praise to my King, a gift that I could bring
But no music I found could compare to You
Not one could do justice to Your glory
And what are my songs compared to Yours
'Cause You speak with thunder and lightning
Your voice shakes the mountains
The foundations of the earth
All I can offer is this fragile breath
And with each one I'll praise You
With each one I'll praise You more
And I searched the world for a poem I could read
A rhyme that would bring glory to my King
But no writing I found was worthy
Of this God high above all other Gods
And what are my words compared to Yours
'Cause You speak with thunder and lightning
Your voice shakes the mountains
The foundations of the earth
All I can offer is this fragile breath
And with each one I'll praise You
With each one I'll praise You more
Speak to me, speak to me please
Won't You speak to me?
'Cause You speak with thunder and lightning
Your voice shakes the mountains
The foundations of the earth
All I can offer is this fragile breath
And with each one I'll praise You
With each one I'll praise You more
And I'll praise You more, more
I am struggling to find a way to make
Myself attractive to You, attractive to You
I am trying to be more deserving of
The gift You gave to me, so free
It?s funny how all I can be
Is someone completely ugly
And yet when You look at me
You don?t see a wretch, You see a reflection
Of something beautiful
I am searching for the water that can
Wash me clean enough to earn Your love
And I want to stop all the things that break Your heart
But come so natural to me, naturally, yeah, yeah
It?s funny how all I can be
Is someone completely ugly
And yet when You look at me
You don?t see a wretch, You see a reflection
Of something beautiful
I can?t believe You could fall in love with me
And it?s funny how all I can be
Is someone completely ugly
And yet when You look at me
You don?t see a wretch, You see a reflection
Of something beautiful
You don?t see a wretch, You see a reflection
Brothers and sisters, I beg you
In light of all He's done for us
To offer yourselves in worship to our God
Brothers and sisters, I ask you
Present yourselves a living sacrifice
Holy and acceptable to our God
Jesus, we come to worship You
Jesus, we come to lift You high
Jesus, we come to honor You with our lives
Father, we come to You humbly
Recognizing Your infinite glory
Jesus, we're so grateful for Your sacrifice
Spirit, we ask You to fill us
To come in and change us and move us
To carry our mortal worship to the Divine
Jesus, we come to worship You
Jesus, we come to lift You high
Jesus, we come to honor You with our lives
Jesus, we come to worship You
Jesus, we come to lift You high
Jesus, we come to honor You with our lives
Jesus, we come to worship You
Jesus, we come to lift You high
I've got better questions than I have answers
Better dreams than I have plans
I've got better thoughts than I have actions
So I built my house on
What I thought was solid ground
Do you feel the tension, do you?
Do you feel the grind?
Do you see the battle 'tween this
Flesh and soul of mine?
'Cause there's a war inside of me
Between who I want to be
And who I am
I do what I don't want to do
And don't do what I mean
I end up chasing all my nightmares
And abandoning my dreams
'Cause there's a war inside of me
Between who I want to be
And who I am
Is not who I want to be
Shackled like a slave when I know that I'm free
Wrong and right, truth and lie, death versus life
Everything in me is choosing sides
And the showdown begins
Do you feel the tension?
There's a war inside of me
Between who I want to be
There's a war inside of me
Between who I want to be
Looking out the window at the clouds flying by
I wonder if You moved them with a thought or with a breath
And as they pass, I see the beauty of the sky
And wonder how You decided to make it that blue
And once again, I?m amazed
I see the miracle of a baby being born
And wonder how You give us life
I see this young boy trying to grow into a man
And wonder how You let us live so long
And once again, I?m amazed
And I can see the majesty You have made
And I gaze into the eyes of Your creatures
And I can feel the wind You breathe on my face
And I?m amazed at the wonder of it all
When beauty breaks forth from the shell of a worm
I wonder how You give it wings
When green leaves burst into the colors of a flame
I wonder why October is time for the display
And once again, I?m amazed
And I can see the majesty You have made
And I gaze into the eyes of Your creatures
And I can feel the wind You breathe on my face
And I?m amazed at the wonder of it all
And I?m amazed, speechless
Stand in awe, astounded
Can?t believe, Jesus
What You?ve done for me
The wonder of it all
The wonder of it all
The wonder of it all
I can see the majesty You have made
I gaze into the eyes of Your creatures
I can feel the wind You breathe on my face
It's cold outside
Or is that just the chill I feel inside from standing here
Steeping in my shame
I can't deny
But I'm surrounded by the very thing You freed me from
That's why I can't come home
I don't know where I turned around
From chasing what I always found completed me
More than I couldn't dream
I don't know why I can't remain
Safe here where I always came to meet with You
And You always met with me
And You're still here waiting
I fail to see
Why You'd still be waiting to forgive me
After all that I have done
But I cannot say
That one time I returned and You had turned away
Your love never fails
I don't know where I turned around
From chasing what I always found completed me
More than I couldn't dream
I don't know why I can't remain
Safe here where I always came to meet with You
And You always met with me
And You're still here waiting
You say, come home and You'll be there
I can run into Your arms
An' I don't know where I turned around
From chasing what I always found completed me
More than I couldn't dream
I don't know why I can't remain safe here
Where I always came to meet with You
And You always met with me
And You're still here waiting
Many times when I was little
I'd hold my Daddy's hand
And many times I thought I was so strong
I'd let go and try to stand
But many times I fell and was so ashamed
Never good enough
But someone failed to tell me
That holding on doesn't do too much
Sometimes I'm on the mountain
Holding on to Your hand
Sometimes I'm in the middle
Holding the best I can
Sometimes I'm in the valley
And I let go long ago
When my hand is weak and tired
Your hand still has a hold
Many times when I was a child
They told me to follow the rules
Many times I tried oh so hard
To do what they wanted me to
But many times I failed and in my disgrace
I couldn't call Your name
But I found that though I left You
You were with me all the same
Sometimes I'm on the mountain
Holding on to Your hand
And sometimes I'm in the middle
Holding the best I can
Sometimes I'm in the valley
And I let go long ago
When my hand is weak and tired
Your hand still has a hold
I've tried to hold on to You
Seems the best that I can do is sometimes
Doing everything I can
But it's slipping through my hands sometimes
And if You're looking for consistency
Look to someone else
'Cause I'm holding hands with Heaven
While I'm making eyes at Hell
And if I'm ever gonna change
God, I need Your help
Sometimes I'm on the mountain
Holding on to Your hand
Sometimes I'm in the middle
Holding the best I can
Sometimes I'm in the valley
And I let go long ago
My hand is weak and tired
But Your hand still has a hold
When my hand is weak and tired
But Your hand still has a hold
It's okay little one
Don't dissmay little one
Your just a babe
How can you be trambling
It's alright little one
He's come tonight little one
The one that you and the world have been waiting for
Sleep well
Sweet dreams
You need your rest
or so it seems
Sleep well
Come what may
For God has come
And you must prepare the way
It's alright little one
Don't you cry little one
Your the delight of the blind and the barren
It's okay little one
He's come today little child
Enjoy the peace
It may be the calm before the storm
So sleep well
Sweet dreams
You need your rest
or so it seems
Come what may
For God has come
And you must prepare the way
Messiah has come to save the world
And he has chosen our place in time
God has given us his son
but why must ask me for my...
Sleep well
Sweet dreams
You need your rest
or so it seems
Sleep well
come what may
for God has come
Shepherd, Your sheep are weary
Cold and tired, battered and bruised and torn
And Shepherd, Your sheep are hungry
We got what we wanted but we still need something more
We need to hear Your voice
Whatever You might say
We just need to hear Your voice
Show us the way
Shepherd, Your sheep are lost
We chased our wants that we thought were needs
And now we can't get home
Shepherd, Your sheep are longing
We ate and we ran and then we played and we danced, but we're empty
We need to hear Your voice
Whatever You might say
We just need to hear Your voice
Show us the way, won't You show us the way
And we need to hear Your voice
Whatever You might say
We just need to hear Your voice
Show us the way, please show us
Shepherd, these sheep are Yours
Janie's an addict but then she feeds her family
Hank owns a bank but his kids are on the street
Janie's got a good grip on desperation
While Hank's getting fat but he doesn't see his need
As I'm standing here on this stage
Hanging from a cross that I have made
What you see is probably deceit
Only God knows the difference
The difference between preachers and thieves
Rosa's the lady in apartment fifteen
No one knows her name or what language she speaks
Or that her son is dying alone behind those walls
Separating their home from the apartments she cleans
And as I'm standing here on this stage
Hanging from a cross that I have made
What you see is probably deceit
Only God knows the difference
The difference between preachers and thieves
Preachers and thieves
Struggling to stand and fighting to breathe
One cries to His left and one dies to His right
One takes his last breath embracing his mockery
While the other opens his eyes in paradise
As I'm standing here on this stage
Hanging from a cross that I have made
What you see is probably deceit
Only God knows the difference
As long as we say prayers for our children
That we do not pray for others
There won't be
And as long as we take offerings for those in need
To appease our guilt over our greed
There won't be
There won't be peace on earth
There won't be peace on earth
There won't be peace on earth
There won't be, there won't be
Won't be peace
When a Chinese girl and a Haitian boy
And an American child all share the same toys
There might be, there might be
When the TV brings a tear to our eyes
And it's not a movie but news of a hungry child across the world
There might be
There might be peace on earth
There might be peace on earth
There might be peace on earth
There might be, there might be
Might be peace
When I look at the world and see
We got a problem, we're seeing the surfaces too often
Whether race or religion, it makes no difference
The blood paid penance, forgiven the death sentence
No lines no more, no rich, no poor
No Jew, no Greek and no slave, no free
When I look at you and see someone just like me
There might be, there might be
There might be, there might be
When the Lord of all is the Lord of each
And I love you like He loves me
There might be
No, there will be
There might be peace on earth
There might be peace on earth
There might be peace on earth
There might be, there might be
Only one thing cannot fail
Only one thing will never die
Only one thing is sure and stable
Even when I turn and turn and turn
Only one thing, deeper than the ocean
Only one thing is higher still
Only one thing has such devotion
Waiting arms wide until my will gives way
Your love reaches across the miles I raced
To separate me from You
Your love cradles me like a child when I finally reach for You
Your love's beyond my understanding
Only one thing
Only one thing is always faithful
Only one thing is ever pure
Only one thing, completely able
Only one thing will endure forever
Your love reaches across the miles I raced
To separate me from You
Your love cradles me like a child when I finally reach for You
Your love's beyond my understanding
Only one thing
I could sing of Your love forever
Your love reaches across the miles I raced
To separate me from You
Your love cradles me like a child when I finally reach for You
Your love's beyond my understanding
Saturday on Beale St.
With the drunk and the searching
I hear an old man playing guitar
I can't make out what he's saying
But I can tell you that he's suffered
That he means every word from the bottom
Of what's left of his heart tonight
A few hours later, I slip into church
Singing the songs about Saving Grace
One guy's nodding off and another hates to be here
And we all mouth the words to save face
It's 11:15 on Sunday morning and I wish I was
On a corner in Memphis listening to the old man
Singing out his sorrows and laying down his pride
He's telling me his story or at least his side
With no need to pretend and nowhere to hide
'Cause we are all broken here
And we're are all ashamed
I couldn't fool you if I wanted to
Our stories are too much the same
And what about this Jesus?
They say He drank with the poor and the blind and the lame
Do you think He'd like the songs that we sing?
Or would He feel the same as I do?
What if Sunday School was on Saturday night?
On a corner in Memphis, listening to the old man
Singing out his sorrows and laying down his pride
He's telling me his story or at least his side
With no need to pretend and nowhere to hide
On a corner in Memphis
What if their heart-breaking cries of pain
Are the first hymns of tomorrow's saints?
On a corner in Memphis, we're singing with the old man
Crying for his sorrows and laying down our pride
He's telling us our story or at least his side
With no need to pretend and nowhere to hide
On a corner in Memphis
We're singing out our sorrows
He's telling us his story
With no need to pretend and nowhere to hide
Which Jesus do you follow?
Which Jesus do you serve?
If Ephesians says to imitate Christ
Why do you look so much like the world?
'Cause my Jesus bled and died
He spent His time with thieves and liars
He loved the poor and accosted the arrogant
So which one do you want to be?
Blessed are the poor in spirit
Or do we pray to be blessed with the wealth of this land?
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst for righteousness
Or do we ache for another taste of this world of shifting sand?
'Cause my Jesus bled and died for my sins
He spent His time with thieves and sluts and liars
He loved the poor and accosted the rich
So which one do you want to be?
And who is this that you follow
This picture of the American dream
If Jesus was here would you walk right by on the other side
Or fall down and worship at His holy feet? Holy, yeah
Pretty blue eyes and curly brown hair and a clear complexion
Is how you see Him as He dies for Your sins
But the Word says He was battered and scarred
Or did you miss that part?
Sometimes I doubt we'd recognize Him
'Cause my Jesus bled and died
He spent His time with thieves and the least of these
He loved the poor and accosted the comfortable
So which one do you want to be?
'Cause my Jesus would never be accepted in my church
The blood and dirt on His feet might stain the carpet
But He reaches for the hurting and despises the proud
And I think He'd prefer Beale St. to the stained glass crowd
And I know that He can hear me if I cry out loud
I wanna be like my Jesus
I wanna be like my Jesus
I wanna be like my Jesus, yeah
I wanna be like my Jesus
Not a poster child for American prosperity, but like my Jesus
You see I'm tired of living for success and popularity
I wanna be like my Jesus but I'm not sure what that means
To be like You Jesus
'Cause You said to live like You, love like You
But then You died for me
Can I be like You, Jesus?
I wanna be like You, Jesus
I've been waiting to dance with you
In fields full of colors you've never seen
And I've been waiting to show you beauty
You'd never dreamed that's always been in you
I've been waiting to see you tremble as you're embraced
By a world saturated with my love
I've been waiting for the day when at last I get to say
My child you are finally home
Sing, O son of Zion
Shout, O child of mine
Rejoice with all your heart and soul and mind
For you are finally home
I've been waiting to watch you realize
What all your longing was for
And I've been waiting to show you the thread of grace
That ran through all your pain
And I've been waiting to let you drink the water of which
Your greatest joy on earth was just a taste
I've been waiting for the day when at last I get to say
My child you are finally home
Sing, O son of Zion
Shout, O child of mine
Rejoice with all your heart and soul and mind
Sing, O daughter of Zion
Cry out, O child of mine
And dance with all the strength that you can find
For you are finally home
Every tear you cried dried in the palm of my hand
Every lonely hour was by my side
Every loved one lost, every river crossed
Every moment, every hour was pointing to this day
I've been longing for this day
And I've been waiting to dance with you
In fields full of colors you've never seen
And I've been waiting to show you beauty
You'd never dreamed that's always been in you
And I've been waiting to see you tremble as you're embraced
By a world saturated with my love
I've been waiting for the day when at last I get to say
My child, you are finally home
Sing, O son of Zion
Shout, O child of mine
Rejoice with all your heart and soul and mind
And sing, O daughter of Zion
Cry out, O child of mine
And dance with all the strength that you can find
For you are finally home
Sing, O son of Zion
Shout, O child of mine
Rejoice with all your heart and soul
And sing, O daughter of Zion
Cry out, O child of mine
Dance with all the strength that you can find
For you are finally home
You're finally home, you are my child
Mary's driving home again,
She's crying again.
Johnny left her for another girl.
She's embarrassed by her lonleyness
And haunted by her shame.
And everyones reacting just the same,
As she feared they would.
Are we more concerned with the fruit of another,
Never noticing our own barren branches?
And are we more consumed with casting stones at eachother?
While ignoring the lovers in our bed,
Our own beds, In our heads.
Mary's driving home again, turns on the radio.
Cause no ones writing songs about divorce.
She could use a verse or two,
Anything that brings just a few moments of life
In the middle of this darkness
Are we more concerned with the fruit of another,
Never noticing our own barren branches?
And are we more consumed with casting stones at eachother?
While ignoring the lovers in our bed,
Our own beds, In our heads.
God hears her cries
As her tears fall rivaling the grains of sand
We have His heart
What is keeping us from being His hands?
Mary's driving home again, turns off the radio
I'm a druggie, I'm a pusher, I'm a one night stand whore
Accuser, an abuser with nothing to live for
A devil, a deceiver and probably much more
But why does it have to define me?
Why do you always remind me?
Why can't I be free from who I've been?
Why can't you see me as one of the least of these?
I'm a liar, I'm a thief, I'm a traitor, I'm the chief of sinners
I'm pretty sure that nothing's beneath me
I'm a cheater, I'm a chain, I don't know if I can change
But why does it have to define me?
Why do you always remind me?
Why can't I be free from who I've been?
Why can't you see me as one of the least of these?
Why does this have to define me?
If He came to this hell to find me?
Why can't this blood refine me?
Why do you always remind me?
Why can't I be free from who I've been?
Why can't you see me as one of the least of these?
Jesus died for our sins
His blood washed away these stains
He died to give you freedom
So, why do you still wear those chains
Chains, chains, chains
Lay your heavy burdens down, down
Lay your heavy burdens down
Lay your heavy burdens down, down
Lay your heavy burdens down, down
Down, down, down
Jesus died to give us life
A little joy in the midst of His pain
He paid your debt in full and you are not guilty
So, why do you still wear those chains
Chains, chains, chains
Lay your heavy burdens down, down
Lay your heavy burdens down
Lay your heavy burdens down, down
Lay your heavy burdens down, down
Down, down, down
If I lay it down, You set me free
If I lay it down, You set me free
If I lay it down, You set me free
If I lay it down, You set me free
If I lay it down, You set me free
If I lay it down, You set me free
If I lay it down, You set me free
If I lay it down, You set me free
If I lay it down, You set me free
If I lay it down, You set me free
If I lay it down, You set me free
If I lay it down, You set me free
If I lay it down, You set me free
If I lay it down, You set me free
If I lay it down, You set me free
If I lay it down, You set me free
Lay your heavy burdens down
Lay your heavy burdens down
Lay your heavy burdens down
Lay your heavy burdens down, down, down
I want to lay your heavy burdens down, down
Lay your heavy burdens down
Lay your heavy burdens down, down
Lay your heavy burdens down, down
Open up the skies of mercy
Rain down Your cleansing flood
Healing waters, they rise around us
Hear our cries, Lord and let 'em rise
Open up the skies of mercy
Rain down Your cleansing flood
Healing waters, they rise around us
Hear our cries, Lord and let 'em rise
'Cause it's Your kindness, Lord, that leads us to repentance
Your favor, Lord, is our desire
And it's your beauty, Lord, that makes us stand in silence
Your love, Your love is better than life
We can feel Your mercy falling
You are turning our hearts back again
Hear our praises as they rise to Heaven
Draw us near, Lord and meet us here
'Cause it's Your kindness, Lord, that leads us to repentance
Your favor, Lord, is our desire
And it's your beauty, Lord, that makes us stand in silence
Your love, Your love is better than life
Your love is better, better than life
Your grace and Your mercy is better than life
Your kindness, Lord, is better than life
'Cause it's Your kindness, Lord, that leads us to repentance
Your favor, Lord, is our desire
And it's your beauty, Lord, that makes us stand in silence
Your love, Your love is better than life
I saw the Lord seated on a throne high and exalted
And the train of His robe filled the temple
Above Him were angels with six mighty wings
With two they?d cover their faces
With two they?d cover their feet
And with two they?d fly
With two they?d fly and sing
And holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty
And the whole earth is full of His glory
He?s glorious
An' I said, ?Woe to me, I am ruined
For I am unclean and so are all my kind
But my eyes have seen the King
The Lord Almighty, the Lord Almighty"
And holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty
And the whole earth is full of His glory
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty
And the whole earth is full of His glory
He?s glorious
And an angel flew to me and he had fire in His hands
And he put it to my lips and God took away my sin
He took away my sin
So we sing
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty
And the whole earth is full of His glory
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty
And the whole earth is full of His glory
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty
And the whole earth is full of His glory
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty
And the whole earth is full of His glory
He?s glorious
He?s glorious
You?re glorious
You?re glorious
Glorious
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty
And the whole earth is full of His glory
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty
It's funny how a big ol' fish can hear Your voice
Find one man in the whole ocean and swallow him whole
Because You said so
It's funny how a little plant can hear Your voice
And grow as big as a tent to give that man a home
Because You said so
And You speak to me all the time
And I can't obey You to save my life
Well, I can but I don't and I want to but I won't
And I don't do what I want to
I do what I don't mean to and I'm confused
It's funny how a fish can obey You but I can't
It's funny how the bright ol' sun can hear Your voice along its way
Stop in the middle of the sky for an entire day
Because You said so
It's funny how a donkey can hear Your voice
And talk instead of bray to set Your child on His way
Because You said so
And You speak to me all the time
And I can't obey You to save my life
Well, I can but I don't and I want to but I won't
And I don't do what I want to
I do what I don't mean to and I'm confused
It's funny how a fish can obey You but I can't
You speak to me all the time
Lighting my path with Your words of life
But I can't obey You no matter how hard I try
I guess, I can but I don't and I want to but I won't
And I don't do what I want to
I do what I don't mean to
And I can but I don't and I want to but I won't
And I don't do what I want to
I do what I don't mean to and I'm confused
It's funny how a fish can obey You
How a plant can obey You
How the sun can obey You
And a donkey can obey You
I?ve been walking around this world for some time
And I?ve found there are quite a few things to see
Physical and emotional and intellectual stimulations
But at the core I found them empty, empty
I?ve been trying so many things to fill me
But every one left me wanting
And every answer left me with more questions
And every road ended empty, empty
For every emptiness, a fullness may be found
For every lie there?s something true
For this broken cup that?s quickly leaking water
There is a fullness found in You, found in You
I?ve been working hard at what I thought was useful
But my hands are so small next to Yours
I?ve been trying to learn all that I thought would make me wise
But I just found vanity and lies
Until You, You opened my eyes and I saw
That for every emptiness, a fullness may be found
For every lie there?s something true
And for this broken cup that?s quickly leaking water
There's a fullness found in You, found in You
And I thought everything was meaningless
But now I?ve found that?s not true
And who am I to doubt the good in things
When all goodness comes from You, from You, my God
For every emptiness, a fullness may be found
For every lie there?s something true
And for this broken cup that?s quickly leaking water
There is a fullness found in You, found in You
The fullness found in You
My mama told me when I was a child
Son, you've gotta keep a hold of your tongue
And if you don't have anything nice to say, my child
Well, don't say anything at all
'Cause every single thing that comes out of your mouth
Someone's listening
Taking as the truth every word that comes out
So don't, don't, don't, don't say a word
My father told me people see a preacher preach
And assume that the words are the Lord's
So before you spout out your most recent thoughts
Just remember who you're speaking for
Or don't say anything at all
'Cause every single thing that comes out of your mouth
Someone's listening
Taking as the truth every word that comes out
So don't, don't, don't, don't say a word
The word was made flesh and He dwelt among men
There's a truth deeper than our opinion
With a message of life for the dead
And who will tell them?
'Cause every single thing that comes out of your mouth
Someone's listening
Taking as the truth every word that comes out
So don't, so don't
'Cause every single thing that comes out of your mouth
Someone, someone
Is taking as the truth every word that comes out
Don't, don't, don't
I?ve been leaning on things I?m finding unstable
I?ve been standing on things that are unsure
I?ve been surrounding myself with things I?m finding unable to fill me
Unable to still my trembling soul
But You?re always there when I turn around
Even though I?ve been running for so long
You?re always there when I cry out
Even when I?ve been silent for so long
You?re always there when I need You, I need You
I?ve been reaching for things that are no good to me
I?ve been wrestling with things that are bringing me down
I?ve been losing sleep over things that really don?t matter
I know You want better but it?s so hard to see Your side
But You?re always there when I turn around
Even though I?ve been running for so long
You?re always there when I cry out
Even when I?ve been silent for so long, so long
You?re always there when I need You, I need You
Can You hear me?
Can You hear me calling?
'Cause it?s been so long
And I?m sorry that it?s been so long, so long
You?re always there when I turn around
Even though I?ve been running for so long
You?re always there when I cry out loud
Even when I?ve been silent for so long, so long
You?re always there
You?re always there
You?re always there when I need You, I need You
Take the world but give me Jesus
All its joys are but a name
But His love abides forever
Through eternal years the same
Oh, the height and the depth of mercy
Oh, the length and the breadth of His love
Oh, the fullness of redemption
Promised from above
Take the world but give me Jesus
Sweetest comfort of my soul
With my Savior watching over me
I can sing though billows roll
Oh, the height and the depth of mercy
Oh, the length and the breadth of His love
Oh, the fullness of redemption
Promised from above
Take the world but give me Jesus
In His cross my trust shall be
Till with clearer, brighter vision
Face to face, my Lord, I'll finally see
Oh, the height and the depth of mercy
Oh, the length and the breadth of His love
Oh, the fullness of redemption
Promised from above
Eternal God, unchanging
Mysterious and unknown
Your boundless love, unfailing
In grace and mercy shown
Bright seraphim in ceaseless flight around Your glorious throne
They raise their voices day and night in praise to You alone
Hallelujah, Glory be to our great God
Lord, we are weak and frail
Helpless in the storm
Surround us with Your angels
Hold us in Your arms
Our cold and ruthless enemy, his pleasure is our harm
Rise up, O Lord, and he will flee before our sovereign God
Let every creature in the sea and every flying bird
Let every mountain, every field and valley of the earth
Let all the moons and all the stars in all the universe
I am struggling to find a way to make myself attractive to You, attractive to You
I am trying to be more deserving of the gift You have to me, so free
(Chorus:)
It's funny how all I can be is someone completely ugly
And yet when You look at me, You don't see a wretch
You see a reflection of something beautiful
I am searching for the water that can wash me clean enough to earn Your love
I want to stop all the things that break Your heart, but come so natural to me, naturally
(Chorus)
open the eyes of my heart Lord
open the eyes of my heart
i want to see You
i want to see You
to see You high and lifted up
shining in the light of Your glory
pour out Your power and love
It's okay, little one, don't dismay, little one
You're just a babe, how can you be trembling?
It's alright, little one, He's come tonight, little one
The one that you and the world have been waiting for
Sleep well, sweet dreams
You need your rest or so it seems
Sleep well, come what may
For God has come and you must prepare the way
It's alright, little one, don't you cry, little one
You're the delight of the blind and the barren
It's okay, little one, He's come today, little child
Enjoy the peace, it may be the calm before the storm
So sleep well, sweet dreams
You need your rest, or so it seems
Sleep well, come what may
For God has come and you must prepare the way
Messiah's come to save the world
And He has chosen our place in time
God has given us His son
But why must He ask me for mine?
Sleep well, sweet dreams
You need your rest, or so it seems
Sleep well, come what may
When peace, peace like a river
When it comes, comes my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to say
It is well, it is well
It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well
Only You can satisfy
Only You can fill this hole
It is well
My sin, O the bliss
Of this glorious, this glorious thought
That my sin not in part but the whole
Was nailed to the cross and I bear it no more
It is well, it is well
It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well
Only You can satisfy
Only You can fill this hole
It is well
O Lord, Lord, haste the day
When my faith, this blind faith shall be sight
When the clouds be rolled back as a scroll
And the trumpet shall resound and the Lord shall descend
It is well, it is well
It is well with my soul
And it is well, it is well
Only You can satisfy
Only You can fill this hole
'Cause it is well with my soul
It is well, and it is well with my soul
And it is well, and it is well with my soul
Everybody, each and all
We're gonna die eventually
It's no more or less our fault
Than it is our destiny
So now, Lord, I come to You
Asking only for Your grace
You know what I've put myself through
All those empty dreams I chased
And when my body lies in the ruins
Of the lies that nearly ruined me
Will You pick up the pieces that were pure and true
And breathe life into them, set them free?
And when You start this world over again from scratch
Will You make me anew out of the stuff that lasts?
Stuff that's purer than gold is
And clearer than glass could ever be
Can I be with You? Can I be with You?
Everybody, all and each
From the day that we are born
We have to learn to walk beneath
Those mercies by which we're drawn
And now we wrestle in the dark
With these angels that we can't see
We will move on although with scars
Oh Lord, move in me
And when my body lies in the ruins
Of the lies that nearly ruined me
Will You pick up the pieces that were pure and true
And breathe life into them and set them free?
When You blast this cosmos to kingdom come
When those jagged edged mountains we love are gone
When the sky is crossed with the tears
Of a thousand falling suns as they crash into the sea
Can I be with You? Can I be with You?
Can I be with You? Can I be with You?
Can I be with You? Can I be with You?
And when my body lies in the ruins
Of the lies that nearly ruined me
Will You pick up the pieces that were pure and true
And breathe life into them and set them free?
(Can I be?)
Will You set them free?
(Can I be with You?)
Will You set them free?
(Can I be with You?)
(Can I be with You?)
I cannot believe, I'm this dirty
And I'm ashamed to even ask to be clean
I can't think of anyone less worthy
I have nothing to offer or to bring
So I throw myself on Your mercy
And I throw myself at Your feet
And I throw my filth on the grace of One
Who's beauty is beyond me
And I wait and I wait
I don't even know how I got here
I wondered to this darkness from Your light
I still remember walking in the garden with You
Now I'm just stumbling through this night
So I throw myself on Your mercy
And I throw myself at Your feet
And I throw my filth on the grace of One
Who's beauty is beyond me
And I wait and I wait
And I wait for Your rain to fall
The waves of Your grace You wash over me
And I wait for Your rain to fall
Strange how forgiveness comes so easily
When I call Your name and wait for Your rain
And Lord, this desert is killing me
And my throat's dry from screaming Your name
And I wanna come home but the sands of time surround me
The dirt's finally covered my shame
So I throw myself on Your mercy
And I throw myself at Your feet
And I throw my filth on the grace of One
Who's beauty is beyond me and I wait
And I wait for Your rain to fall
The waves of Your grace You wash over me
And I wait for Your rain to fall
Strange how forgiveness can come to such a sinners
And I wait for Your rain to fall
The waves of Your grace You crash over me
And I wait for Your rain to fall
Strange how forgiveness comes so easily
When I call Your name, Jesus
Need a little more sunshine in the middle of rain
Need a little more joy in the middle of pain
I need a little more color in the middle of this plain Jane
'Cause I? ve looked as deep as I can see
And I think I need a little more You in the middle of me
Need a little more patience in the middle of stress
Need a little more beauty in the middle of this mess
I need a little more substance in the middle of this emptiness
And I? ve looked as deep as I can see
And I think I need a little more You in the middle of me
I need more of You and less of me
More of You and a little less insanity
More of You and a little less complexity
'Cause I? ve looked as deep as I can see
And it seems more of You is better for me
I need a little more rhythm in the middle of this lazy rhyme
Need a little more spontaneity in the middle of this daily grind
Need a little more truth not music in this world of lies
'Cause I? ve looked as deep as I can see
And I think I need a little more You in the middle of me
Jesus, no one higher
No one greater, no name sweeter
Jesus, no one higher
No one greater, no name sweeter
Jesus, no one higher
No one greater, no name sweeter
Than Jesus, the hope of glory for my soul
Jesus, no one higher
No one greater, no name sweeter
Jesus, no one higher
No one greater, no name sweeter
Jesus, no one higher
No one greater, no name sweeter
Than Jesus, the hope of glory for my soul
I called out with a troubled heart
And justice heard my cry
I called out with a troubled heart
And justice heard my cry
I called out with a troubled heart
And justice heard my cry
Oh Jesus, He heard the groaning of my soul
Jesus, no one higher
No one greater, no name sweeter
Jesus, no one higher
No one greater, no name sweeter
No one greater, no name sweeter
Than Jesus, the hope of glory for my soul
I owed a debt that I could not pay
And mercy set me free
I owed a debt that I could never pay
And mercy set me free
You see I owed a debt that I could not pay
And mercy set me free
Oh Jesus suffered that I might be made whole
Jesus, no one higher
No one greater, no name sweeter
Jesus, no one higher
No one greater, no name sweeter
Jesus, no one higher
No one greater, no name sweeter
Than Jesus, the hope of glory for my soul
Jesus, no one higher
No one greater, no name sweeter
Oh Jesus, no one higher
No one greater, there's no name sweeter
Precious as Jesus, no one higher
No one greater, no name sweeter
Than Jesus, the hope of glory for my soul
The love of God is greater far
Than tongue or pen can ever tell
It goes beyond the highest star
And reaches to the lowest hell
Oh, the love of God, how rich and how pure
How measureless and strong
Oh, the love of God, it shall evermore endure
The saints' and angels' song
When years of time shall pass away
And earthly thrones and kingdoms fall
When men who here refuse to pray
On rocks and hills and mountains call
God's love so sure shall still endure
All measureless and strong
Redeeming grace to Adam's race
The saints' and angels' song
Oh, the love of God, how rich and how pure
How measureless and strong
Oh, the love of God, it shall evermore endure
The saints' and angels' song
Could we with ink the ocean fill
And were the skies of parchment made
Were every stalk on earth a quill
And every man a scribe by trade
To write the love of God above
Would drain the oceans dry
Nor could the scroll contain the whole
Though stretched from sky to sky
Oh, the love of God, how rich and how pure
How measureless and strong
Oh, the love of God, it shall evermore endure
The saints' and angels' song
The saints' and angels' song
A poor man on the corner
I could give to You by buying him lunch
But I rarely think about it
'Cause I got a little but it's not that much
And I pray Lord won't You help me
Give me a little bit more for myself
And You say Child won't you let me
Take all that you got and give you a little real wealth
CHORUS
And I don't know what You want, what You see in my life
And I don't know what You mean, how You could be glorified
I'm not too sure about this idea of sacrifice
What You mean by mercy, mercy in me
Your mercy in me
A young girl in an old house
Three kids and another on the way
She's in desperate need of some new clothes
But I keep my old ones and tell her I'll pray for her
But Your heart breaks for those kids
And that child of a mom who's one of Your own
When a few gifts and a little time
Is another crown I could lay at the feet of Your throne
CHORUS
And I don't know what You want, what You see in my life
And I don't know what You mean, how You could be glorified
I'm not too sure about this idea of sacrifice
What You mean by mercy, mercy in me
Your mercy in me
CHORUS
And I don't know what You want, what You see in my life
And I don't know what You mean, how You could be glorified
And I'm not too sure about this idea of sacrifice
What You mean by mercy, mercy, mercy in me
Praise, my soul, the King of Heaven
To His feet Your tribute bring
Ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven
Evermore His praises sing, His praises sing
Gloria, gloria, praise the everlasting King
Lord, it's for Your fame we sing, gloria
Praise Him for His grace and favor
To our fathers in distress
Praise Him still the same as ever
Slow to anger, swift to bless
Gloria, gloria, praise the everlasting King
Lord, it's for Your fame we sing, gloria
The angels adore Him
They're face to face
And one day I'll join them
Sing with the saints from every race
Gloria, gloria, praise the everlasting King, gloria
Gloria, gloria, praise the everlasting King
Lord, it's for Your fame we sing, gloria
I heard stories about Moses in the desert
And I wondered if the years he'd spent there
Were anything like mine
'Cause he ran trying to escape
The consequences of mistakes he made
Never knew You loved him all the while
Then You called his name
And I wish You still spoke through burning bushes
And I wish You still wrote on blocks of stone
'Cause the sound of this world's deafening
And I'm having a hard time listening
And I wish Your will was still written on the wall
I heard of two Kings, Nebuchadnezzar and his son
You sent them dreams and visions
And Daniel to figure them out
They'd listen for a moment and obey for an instant
And then they'd go their own way
But I wouldn't know about that
And You wrote on the wall
And I wish You still spoke through burning bushes
And I wish You still wrote on blocks of stone
'Cause the sound of this world's deafening
And I'm having a hard time listening
And I wish Your will was still written on the wall
'Cause I can't seem to find You
I just need a little clue
It doesn't have to be a parting of the sea
If You'd just show me Your way
I know You still want to speak to me
Because I know Your love, it healed this heart of stone
But I wish You still spoke through burning bushes
And I wish You still wrote on blocks of stone
The sound of this world's deafening
And I'm having a hard time listening
And I wish Your will was still written on the wall
I looked for love in every single situation
For something, someone
That would last a lifetime, a love that never dies
And I find
CHORUS
You know when I wake, when I rise, when I pray, when I curse You
And You love me the same
You know when I stumble and fall, and You're there through it all
The only unchanging one
I looked for faith on the edge of my roof
No fear, daddy's here
Still I struggle to trust You with the rest of my life
When I could just fly
CHORUS
You know when I wake, when I rise, when I pray, when I curse You
And You love me the same
You know when I stumble and fall, and You're there through it all
The only unchanging one
I looked for God.
CHORUS
You know when I wake, when I rise, when I pray, when I curse You
And You love me the same
You know when I stumble and fall, and You're there through it all
The only unchanging one
You know my inmost being
You know my deepest scars
You know my darkest secrets
Where Were You
I thought up all the questions that my human mind could bring
And laid them out before the Lord
And demanded a reason for these things
I asked about inequality and about the success of evil men
But what was I to say to Him
When He answered with this question
CHORUS
Where were you when I split the sky and sea
Where were you when I taught the lion to roar
Where were you when I made electricity
Fall from the sky in the middle of a thunderstorm
Where were you
I had no response, I had no reply
As the One who spoke and is the Truth opened up my eyes
I laid my time of doubt at the feet of the Infinite
But what was left for me to say
When He answered with this question
CHORUS
Where were you when I split the sky and sea
Where were you when I taught the lion to roar
Where were you when I made electricity
Fall from the sky in the middle of a thunderstorm
Where were you when I put stars in the sky
Where were you when I taught the eagle to fly
Where were you when I made that little child look just like
Her mom but she had her DaddyÂ's eyes
Where were you
Where were you when I split the sky and sea
Where were you when I taught the lion to roar
Where were you when I made electricity
Fall from the sky in the middle of a thunderstorm
Where were you when I put stars in the sky
Where were you when I taught the eagle to fly
Where were you when I made that little child look just like
Her mom but she had her DaddyÂ's eyes
I've found His grace is all complete
He supplies my every need
While I sit and learn at Jesus' feet
I am free, indeed
What kind of joy is this?
It's joy unspeakable
All You've done for me
It's indescribable
Just a taste of your glory
And it's unnatural
Not to tell the story
Of all You've given me
My words are incomplete
It's joy unspeakable
I've found the pleasure I once craved
It's joy and peace within
What a wondrous blessing! I am saved
From the awful gulf of sin
I've found the joy no tongue can tell
How it's waves of glory roll
It's like an overflowing well
I've heard these stories all my life
Every Sunday morning I met Jesus at the felt-board
And I've heard these stories so many times
Of how and why You died and how I can live
But You said all sins can be forgiven
But when You said that did You mean me?
Did You mean me?
You said that we could be more like You
But did You know what I'd do, how I'd fall so short?
And You said confession leads to healing
Do You see I'm here and kneeling and I'm still not well?
But You said that faith can move a mountain
But when You said that did You mean me?
Did You mean me
When You said we were made in Your image?
'Cause I don't see much of You in this reflection
Did you mean me
When You said we would do even greater things?
'Cause I don't see anything that I have to offer You
Did You mean me?
Did You mean me
When You said we were made in Your image?
'Cause I don't see much of You in this reflection
Did you mean me
When You said we would do even greater things?
'Cause I don't see anything that I have to offer You
You said that You would never leave us
But when You said that did You mean me?
Please don't leave me
Were Mary's eyes the first eyes You saw
Or did You remember choosing that shade of brown?
Were You surprised at the shepherd's crazy story
Or did You know You wrote the song the angels sang?
What was this life like for You?
Did You know?
Did the cross cast its shadow o'er Your cradle?
Did You know?
Did You shudder each time Your hammer struck a nail?
Did You know?
How much heaven and how much earth
Were in this baby at His birth?
Did You know or did You wonder?
Did You remember the brightness of Your glory
Or did You just notice it was cold and dark here?
Did You know Your name or did You have to be told?
Were You just a baby or were You as old as time?
What was Your life like?
Did You know?
Did the cross cast its shadow o'er Your cradle?
Did You know?
Did You shudder each time Your hammer struck a nail?
Did You know?
How much heaven and how much earth
Were in this baby at His birth?
Did You know or did You wonder?
Did You wonder?
What was Your life like?
Did the cross cast its shadow o'er Your cradle?
Did You know?
Did You shudder each time Your hammer struck a nail?
Did you know?
How much heaven and how much earth
Were in this baby at His birth?
Did you know or did You wonder?
Did You know?
Did You wonder?
And as I look into your eyes
I see an angel in disguise
Sent from God above for me to love
To hold and idolize
And as I hold your body near
I'll see this month through to a year
And then forever on till life is gone
I'll keep your loving near
And now I've finally found my way
To lead me down this lonely road
All I have to do is follow you
To lighten off my load
You treat me like a rose
You give me room to grow
You shone the light of love on me
And gave me air so I can breathe
You open doors that close
In a world where anything goes
You give me strength so I stand tall
Just like a rose
And when I feel like hope is gone
You give me strength to carry on
Each time I look at you there's something new
To keep our loving strong
I hear you whisper in my ear
All of the words I long to hear
Of how you'll always be here next to me
To wipe away my tears
And now I've finally found my way
To lead me down this lonely road
All I have to do is follow you
To lighten off my load
You treat me like a rose
You give me room to grow
You shone the light of love on me
And gave me air so I can breathe
You open doors that close
In a world where anything goes
You give me strength so I stand tall
Just like a rose
And though the seasons change
Our love remains the same
You face the thunder
When the sunshine turns to rain
Just like a rose
You treat me like a rose
You give me room to grow
You shone the light of love on me
And gave me air so I can breathe
You open doors that close
In a world where anything goes
You give me strength so I stand tall
Just like a rose
You give me strength so I stand tall
Within this bed of earth
In the secret, in the quiet place,
In the stillness You are there.
In the secret, in the quiet hour I wait,
Only for You,'cause I want to know You more;
(Chorus)
I want to know You,
I want to hear Your voice,
I want to know You more.
I want to touch You,
I want to see Your face,
I want to know You more.
I am reaching for the highest goal,
Then I might receive the prize.
Pressing onward, pushing every hinderance aside,
Out of my way, 'cause I want to know you more;
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
In the secret, in the quiet place
I'm not how I used to be
When we hung around
Back when it was you and me
Tearin' up this town
We used to live our lives running from change
Now we don't see eye to eye
I am not the same
Chorus:
And you wonder where I've gone
Well, I've found where I belong
I'm on the other side
True - I used to walk your shore
But I'm not there anymore
I'm on the other side
Years fade like the setting sun
Turning us loose
They give us many ways to run
And many roads to choose
Well, I ran into saving grace
Headed for nowhere
Love showed me another place
And brought me there
Chorus
Why is it hard for you to see
All the changes made in me
Here on the other side
Oh, I could help you understand
And you could join me where I am
I was a sailor, I was lost at sea
I was under the waves
Before love rescued me
I was a fighter, I could turn on a thread
Now I stand accused of the things I've said
Love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town
I used to find love under the red sunset
I was making promises I would soon forget
She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown
But I left her standing before love came to town
I ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream
The notes were turning blue, I was dazing in a dream
As the music played I saw my life turn around
That was the day before love came to town
When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town
When love comes to town I'm gonna jump that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
But I did what I did before love came to town
I was there when they crucified my Lord
I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword
I threw the dice when they pierced his side
But I've seen love conquer the great divide
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that train
When love comes to town I'm gonna catch that flame
Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down
There's no room...no room in the inn,
If you were someone important we might try to fit you
in, but there's no room in here for you.
There's no room...no room to lay your head,
If you were wealthy we might find you a bed, but
there's no room in here for you.
'Cause I'm cold, and tired of working my whole life
away,
Every hand, needing one thing more, comes knocking at
my door,
I got a hundred people calling out my name today, and
you come to my door,
And I can't care no more, unless you can save me.
There's no room for you and your little lady, (you and
your little lady)
There's a manger in the stable; should be just fine for
your little baby,
There's no room in here, no.
'Cause I'm cold, and tired of working my whole life
away,
Every hand, needing one thing more, comes knocking at
my door,
I got a hundred people calling out my name today, and I
can't care no more,
And you come, asking for something for nothing,
What can you give me? Can you save me?
'Cause I'm cold, and tired of working my whole life
away,
Every hand, needing one thing more, comes knocking at
my door,
I got a hundred people screaming out my name, and I
can't care no more,
You come, needing more when I got nothing,
What can you give me? Can you save me?
Oh, please, little baby, can you save me?
Little baby,
Whoa,
Baby, oh, baby, oh, baby.
Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see
Way up in the sky little lamb
Do you see what I see
A star, a star
Dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite
Said the little lamb to the shepard boy
Do you hear what I hear
Ringing through the sky shepard boy
Do you hear what I hear
A song, a song
High above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea
Said the shepard boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know
In your palace wall mighty king
Do you know what I know
A child, a child
Shivers in the cold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Let us bring him silver and gold
Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace people everywhere
Listen to what I say
The child, the child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light
The child, the child
Sleeping in the night
My faith has found a resting place
Not in device or creed
I trust the ever living One
For me his wounds shall plead
I need no other argument
I need no other plea
It is enough that Jesus died
And that He died for me
It's enough for me that Jesus saves
This ends my fear and doubt
A sinful soul I come to Him
He'll never cast me out
And I need no other argument
I need no other plea
It is enough that Jesus died
And that He died for me
My great Physician heals the sick
The lost He came to save
For me His precious blood was spilled
For me His life He gave
And I need no other argument
I need no other plea
It is enough that Jesus died
And that He died for me
And I need no other argument
I need no other plea
It is enough that Jesus died
Oh, the deep, deep love of Jesus
Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free
Rolling as a mighty ocean
In its fullness over me
Underneath me, all around me
Is the current of Thy love
Leading onward, leading homeward
To Thy glorious rest above
Oh, the deep, deep love of Jesus
Deeper than the deepest sea
The love that led my Christ to die
Is the love that set me free
Oh, the deep, deep love of Jesus
Spread His praise from shore to shore
How He's loving, ever loving
Changing never, nevermore
How He watches over His loved ones
Died to call them all His own
How for them He's interceding
Watching over them from the throne
Oh, the deep, deep love of Jesus
Deeper than the deepest sea
The love that led my Christ to die
Is the love that set me free
Oh, the deep, deep love of Jesus
Love of every, love the best
It's an ocean vast of blessing
It's a haven sweet of rest
Oh, the deep, deep love of Jesus
It's a heaven of heavens to me
And it lifts me up to glory
For it lifts me up to Thee
Oh, the deep, deep love of Jesus
Deeper than the deepest sea
The love that led my Christ to die
Is the love that set me free
Glory to God, the angels sang
The night You laid Your glory down
Son of God was born a babe
Forsaking Your beauty and power
For a world of pain
I can't believe You came
You are glorious, infinite and wise
You are mighty, holy, there is none beside You
But to save me from my brokenness
You became breakable
Crucify, the people screamed
Striped Your back and pierced Your side
All so I could be redeemed
It was for my life You died
And taking all my shame
And loving me the same
You are glorious, infinite and wise
You are mighty, holy, there is none beside You
But to save me from my brokenness
You became breakable
You knew my every last mistake
Still You chose to save me
You are glorious, infinite and wise
You are mighty, holy, there is none beside You
You are glorious, infinite and wise
You are mighty, holy, there is none beside You
But to save me from my brokenness
One day when Heaven was filled with His praises
One day when sin was as black as could be
Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin
Dwelt among men; my Example is He!
And living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified, freely forever
One day He's coming
Oh glorious day!
One day they led Him to Calvary's mountain
One day they nailed Him to die on the tree
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected
Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He!
And one day the grave could conceal Him no longer
One day the stone rolled away from the door
Then He arose; over death He had conquered
Now He's ascended, my Lord forevermore!
Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified, freely forever
One day He's coming
Oh glorious day!
Oh glorious day!
One day the trumpet will sound for His coming
One day the skies with His glories will shine
Wonderful day my Beloved One's bringing
Glorious Savior, this Jesus is mine!
Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified, freely forever
One day He's coming
Oh glorious day!
Oh glorious day!
(My sins are washed away)
Oh glorious day!
Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified, freely forever
One day He's coming
Oh glorious day!
Tell me the story of Jesus
Write on my heart every word
Tell me the story so precious
Sweetest that I ever heard
Tell me a story 'bout a baby born
Leavin' all of Heaven for an Israel morn
Tell of the angels that sang at His birth
Glory to God and peace on the earth
Tell me the story of Jesus
Write on my heart every word
Tell me the story so precious
Sweetest that I ever heard, I ever heard
Tell me a story of a desert fast
Tempted by the devil but He triumphed at last
Tell of His labor and the sorrow He bore
Despised and afflicted, homeless, rejected and poor
Tell me the story of Jesus
Write on my heart every word
Tell me the story so precious
Sweetest that I ever heard, I ever heard
Tell of the cross where they nailed Him
Writhing in anguish and pain
Tell of the grave where they laid Him
And how He's living again
Tell me the story of Jesus
Write on my heart every word
Tell me the story so precious
Sweetest that I ever heard
Tell me the story of Jesus
Write on my heart every word
Tell me the story so precious
Sweetest that I ever heard, I ever heard
I'll admit I'm glad we're not disiples,
Out on a lake paralized with fright.
'Cause I'm afraid I might have laughed at Peter,
Until he stepped into that stormy night.
If You wanted me to walk on water,
Why'd you make the solid ground seem so right?
And i'll admit i'm glad i'm not King David,
Ruling over everything i see.
Cause I'd think i'd fallen for more then Bathsheba,
Your creations a temptation for me.
If you wanted me to love you only,
Why'd you make the moonlight sparkle in her eyes?
I'll admit i'm glad i'm not John the Baptist,
In a jail cell waiting for my day to die.
Cause atleast down here i know what were chasing,
And it's hard to trust Your dreams are so much better then mine.
If you wanted me to die to myself,
Why'd you make me fall so deeply in love with life?
If you wanted me to surrender,
Why'd you make these hands able to hold on... So tight?
So tight.
If you wanted me to be like you,
Why'd you make me... like me??
Each crack of that whip was for my mistakes
Blood is on my hands
Each stumble up that hill was my step to take
Blood is on my hands
And how do I say thanks for this?
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Until my ransomed soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
Each tear that flowed was by my sorrow sown
Blood is on my hands
Each drop that was spilled, my debt fulfilled
His blood is on my hands
How can I say thanks for this?
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Until my ransomed soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
Jesus keep me near the cross
There a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream
Flows from Calvary's mountain
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Until my ransomed soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
It's okay little one
Don't dissmay little one
Your just a babe
How can you be trambling
It's alright little one
He's come tonight little one
The one that you and the world have been waiting for
Sleep well
Sweet dreams
You need your rest
or so it seems
Sleep well
Come what may
For God has come
And you must prepare the way
It's alright little one
Don't you cry little one
Your the delight of the blind and the barren
It's okay little one
He's come today little child
Enjoy the peace
It may be the calm before the storm
So sleep well
Sweet dreams
You need your rest
or so it seems
Come what may
For God has come
And you must prepare the way
Messiah has come to save the world
And he has chosen our place in time
God has given us his son
but why must ask me for my...
Sleep well
Sweet dreams
You need your rest
or so it seems
Sleep well
come what may
for God has come
and you must prepare the way
My faith has found a resting place
Not in device or creed
I trust the ever living One
For me his wounds shall plead
I need no other argument
I need no other plea
It is enough that Jesus died
And that He died for me
It's enough for me that Jesus saves
