Now listen there's something much better
Than what I had and what I had been told
And now one day I heard a message spoken,
Forever in my heart the words I hold
The Healer said there is only one river
The river of life, filled with faith and love
It's flowing from the sacrifice of Jesus, and
Brings us all into the Kingdom of God.
Chorus:
So i'm going down, to drown myself today
Nothin left to live for, nothin in my way
Hold me underwater, take me even farther
Drown me down by the river today
Will you make me a believer?
Take me by my hand, hold me as I'm falling in,
Cleanse me and wash my sins
So here I am at the edge of the water
That seperates me from my death and life
and still I come here with unanswered questions
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 world
Joy to the world
Joy to the world
Joy to the world
Joy to the world, the Savior reigns!
Let saints their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.
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,
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 its 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;
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!
His power and glory ever more proclaim!
O night divine, the night when Christ was born;
Fall on your kneew! Oh, hear the angel voices!
Well I was blind
But now I can see
You made a believer
Out of me
Well I was blind
Now I can see
You made a believer
Out of me
(Chorus)
And I'm movin' on up now
I'm gettin' out of the darkness
My light shines on
My light shines on
My light shines on
Well I was lost
But now I am found
I believe in you
I've got no doubts
Well I was lost
But now I am found
I believe in you
I've got no doubts
(Chorus)
My light shines on
My light shines on
My light shines on
My light shines on
I'm getting out of darkness
When the day began and you opened up your eyes
No, you didn't recognize what you were seeing
Then it all came back, you remembered where you've been
Well, it never seems to end and you're still running
Will you ever change your mind?
You're almost out of time
You better give up, gotta stop running
It's the end of the line, it's time to surrender
Hands up, turn it around
Fall to the ground, are you gonna surrender?
Now the day is done and you want to close your eyes
And pretend that you are fine but you'd be lying
And you want it back, the life that you once had
'Cause inside you find that you are slowly dying
Will you ever change your mind?
You're almost out of time
You better give up, gotta stop running
It's the end of the line, it's time to surrender
Hands up, turn it around
Fall to the ground, are you gonna surrender?
Give up, gotta stop running
It's the end of the line, it's time to surrender
Hands up, turn it around
Fall to the ground, are you gonna surrender?
Oh yeah
Are you gonna surrender? Oh yeah
You better give up, gotta stop running
It's the end of the line, it's time to surrender
Hands up, turn it around
Fall to the ground, yeah
You better give up, gotta stop running
It's the end of the line, it's time to surrender
Hands up, turn it around
Fall to the ground, are you gonna surrender?
Yeah, are you gonna surrender?
Oh yeah, oh yeah

Some see a teacher
Standing on a hill
Speaking words of wisdom
Some see a healer
Reaching out his hand
To give sight to a blind man
Some see a dreamer
Wasting his life
On what can never be
Some see a fool
Dying for his dreams
But I see love (I see love)
I see love (I see love)
Light of heaven breaking through
Well I see grace (I see grace)
I see God's face (I See Gods face)
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
I see love
Some see a prisoner
Alone before his judge
With no one to defend him
Some see a victim
Beaten and abused
With all the world against him
Some see a martyr
Carrying his cross
For what he believes
Some see a hero
Who set his people free
But I see love (I see love)
I see love (I see love)
Light of heaven breaking through
Well I see grace (I see grace)
I see God's face (I See Gods face)
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
With your last breath
I see love
Through your death
I see love
I see peace in the eyes of the king
I see hope in your suffering (I see love)
I see a calm in the center of the storm
I see a Saviour
I see love
I see love
Light of heaven breaking through (heaven breaking through)
I see grace
I see God's face
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
I see love
When I see you
I see heaven breaking through
See Gods face
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
When I see you
When I see you
I see love
I see love
When I see

Nothing can stop me, I am not gonna change my mind
No one can keep me from the road that I'm on this time
No matter what, I'm gonna do what it takes to make it
Well, I didn't know what I was missing 'til I met You
I never even thought to listen, no, I never knew
And now You've given me a second chance and I'll take it
So here I am, Lord, I wanna be where You are

Everywhere You go, I wanna go, will You take me with You?
Everywhere You lead, I wanna be by Your side

When you're down and you're falling fast
And you feel like your hope won't last
You know that I'll be your miracle
When you find that your faith is gone
You're not sure if you can carry on
You know that I'll be your miracle
You've been through more than anyone should
Can you find the good in such a bad situation?
You never thought this could happen to you
Now you know the truth, you feel like your life is fading
Well, I hope you can remember
When you're down and you're falling fast
And you feel like your hope won't last
You know that I'll be your miracle
And when you find that your faith is gone
You're not sure if you can carry on
You know that I'll be your miracle
The life you had is going to change
But please don't be afraid
Well, it might be for the better
When you're down and you're falling fast
And you feel like your hope won't last
You know that I'll be your miracle
And when you find that your faith is gone
You're not sure if you can carry on
You know that I'll be your miracle
Well, I'll be the one that's standing next to you
I'll be the one that's gonna help you make it through
When everybody else has gone

When you're down and you're falling fast
And you feel like your hope won't last
You know that I'll be your miracle
When you find that your faith is gone

Oh, whoa, oh whoa, I'll be your miracle
You hit me like a bomb
And everything I'm used to
Is suddenly gone
Sorry to accuse you
Do you know what you've done
When you hit me like a bomb
Hear the sound of the sirens ringing
See the world of a life that's changing
Well you hit me like a bomb
I was scared and I started running
Can't say I never saw it coming
When you hit me like a bomb
(La la la la la la la la…)
You hit me like a bomb
Everything's changing
It didn't take long
For you to start rearranging
Everything that I've known
When you hit me like a bomb
Hear the sound of the sirens ringing
See the world of a life that's changing
Well you hit me like a bomb
I was scared and I started running
Can't say I never saw it coming
When you hit me like a bomb
(La la la la la la la la…)
You hit me like a bomb and I saw it coming
Hit me like a bomb and it's all my fault
You hit me like a bomb and I saw it coming
Hit me like a bomb and it's all my fault
Hear the sound of the sirens ringing
See the world of a life that's changing
Well you hit me like a bomb
I was scared and I started running
Can't say I never saw it coming
When you hit me like a bomb
Your love is like a river flowing from my heart
Your love is like a river flowing from my heart
When this cruel world tears us apart
Your love is like a river flowing from my heart
When sharpened words have left their scars
Your love is like a river flowing from my heart
And it's overflowing and showing us all
How deep and how wide is Your love
It never stops, it rages on
Your love is like a river flowing from my heart
When I am tired and so afraid
Your love is like a fire that will light my way
When darkness falls and my vision fades
Your love is like a fire that will light my way
And it's always burning and stirring my soul
To know You and love You much more
It never stops or ever fades
Your love is like a fire that will light my way
It's never gonna stop
It's flowing from my heart
It's never gonna fade
Your love will light my way
When all my strength and hope is gone
Your love is like a rock that I am standing on
Your love is like a river flowing from my heart
Your love is like a fire that will light my way
Your love is like a rock that I am standing on
Your love is like a river flowing from my heart
Your love is like a fire that will light my way
Your love is like a rock that I am standing on
I've heard all the stories
I've seen all the signs
Witnessed all the glories
Tasted all that's fine
Nothing Compares to the greatness of knowing you Lord. Oh no,
Nothing compares to the greatness of Knowing you Lord, oh no...
I see all the people
Wasting all their time
Building up their riches
For a life that's fine
But Nothing Compares to the greatness of knowing you Lord. Oh no,
Nothing compares to the greatness of Knowing you Lord, oh no...
And i find myself just living for today
'cause i don't know what tomorrow's gonna bring
So no matter if i rise or fall, i'll never be alone
Oh no...
Nothing Compares to the greatness of knowing you Lord. Oh no,
What if I told you that I love you
What if I showed you just how much
I would do anything to hold you
Give everything to prove my love
[Chorus:]
Yeah, yeah, no one can keep me from your side
Yeah, yeah, but if they ever even try
They'd have to drag me away kicking and screaming
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
They'd have to drag me away kicking and screaming
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
And if you said you didn't want me
Kept me away, said we were through
You don't know just how ready and willing
To do everything that I can to convince you
[Chorus]
I would go anywhere
As long as you are there
You know I'd do anything
As long as you're with me
I would fight for you
If you want me too
I will not lie to you
Give my my life for you
They'd have to drag me away kicking and screaming
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I've been taking it all for granted
And everything that I have been givin'
Now it is the day to start my mission
It's been a long time comin'
There are many searching for answers
Tell me who am I to keep it to myself?
And I've grown weary of my own fears
Yeah, it's been a long time a comin'
Well, I've been running just like an outlaw, yeah
And I am willing and I am able
To give you something you can believe on
It's been a long time comin'
True believers have been staring
Up into the sky waiting for Your return
Well, I know one day clouds will roll down
It's been a long time comin'
I've been running just like an outlaw, yeah
And I am willing and I am able, yeah
To give you something you can believe on
It's been a long time comin'
Oh, a long time comin'
I've been running just like an outlaw, yeah
And I am willing and I am able
To give you something you can believe on
It's been a long time comin', oh yeah
A long time comin', yeah, oh
I am able to give you something
It's been a long time, long time
Well, late one night, she started to cry and thought he ain’t coming home
She was tired of the lies, tired of the fight, but she didn’t want to see him go
She fell on her knees and said, “I haven’t prayed since I was young
But Lord above I need a miracle
Well no matter who you are and no matter what you’ve done
There will come a time when you can’t make it on your own
And in your hour of desperation
Know you’re not the only one, praying
Lord above, I need a miracle
I need a miracle
He lost his job and all he had in the fall of ’09
Now he feared the worst, that he would lose his children and his wife
So he drove down deep into the woods and thought he’d end it all
