Holding onto our beliefs
Like a child holds to its father
It's like we're trying so hard to breathe
With our heads underneath the water
Keep trying to find the balance
Of our love and our convictions
'Cause we know that life in You
Moves far beyond religion
We know, we know
We know, we know
That nothing else even matters
But love
We keep trying to find a way
To come together
Lord, take these fears away
And make us one, one, one, whoa
Lord, make us one, one, one, Lord, make us one
We are the face of Christ
In a world of shadows
Is it God's love we're fighting for
Or our denomination's ego?
We got to let go of pride
Embrace the idea of difference
Make unity our calling
And move within forgiveness
We know, we know
We know, we know
That nothing else even matters
But love
We keep trying to find a way
To come together
Lord, take these fears away
And make us one, one, one, whoa
Lord, make us one, one, one, Lord, make us one
Imagine what could be, imagine what could change
If love was all that really mattered
Would the light of Christ finally shine through
Me and you?
Holding onto our beliefs
Like a child holds to its father
It's like we're trying so hard to breathe
With our heads underneath the water
We keep trying to find a way
To come together
Lord, take these fears away
And make us one, one, one, whoa
Lord, make us one, one, one, Lord, make us one
Make us one, one, one, whoa
Lord, make us one, one, one, Lord, make us one, oh
Make us one, one, one, whoa
Make us one, one, one, Lord, make us one, oh
Make us one, one, one, whoa
Color spreads across the sky
A new day is coming
But none of the questions have changed
Life moves too quickly
We're never quite settled
Circumstance changes but the fears stay the same
Love, love, love is the answer
For hands that are reaching
And hearts bruised with life
There's hope for the weary
The broken and weak, cuz
Love, love, love is the answer we need
All we are are empty cups
Waiting for filling
We seek out acceptance and love
We're reaching for the better things
But all that we're reaching
Is the feeling we never can get quite enough
Chorus
Come as you are
Come to the water
Come and be thirsty no more
You found me in my weakness
You, the epitome of strength
You found me in the darkness
You, the protector of the weak
You're standing right here with me
On the edge of letting go....
I'm emptied out, with nothing to offer
Still you love me
My hands held out, with nothing to offer
Still you love me
Oh, still you love me
You found me in my fear
You, the One who will not break
You found me in my doubting
Yeah, faithful You remain
You're standing right here with me
On the edge of all You've dreamed for me...
Chorus
I can do nothing
I can do nothing
Without You (repeat)
Well, you bring the wings and I'll bring the flight plan
Cuz you're an angel and I am just a man
But I've been a better man since you got here
And life is better, too, cuz my world revolves around you
Clouds are gone and skies are blue
There's nothing to bring us down, whoa...
Things are looking sunny
Things are looking sunny
Things are looking sunny since I found you...
Whoa, whoa, things are looking sunny
Things are looking sunny
All of your skin looks good touching my skin
You're so pretty, I just fell in love again
It's love at each sight, over and over
My heels are over head, now it's me revolving round you..
Chorus
Everything's bright, everything's clean
Everything's like my favorite dream
Cuz my favorite dream is you
The turn of your head, the flick of your wrist
Everything about you, you don't need a list
To know my favorite dream is you, you, you, you...
We all see the mystery that plays out in our heads
We dream that we're the hero, not just who we are instead
Every step and every sight, a clue not what it seems
But every clue we're chasing down is all part of this dream
We are all the same, we are all the same
We are all the same, we're chasing down a name
We all need a family, we're never satisfied
With what we have we're chasing down a dream that never died
Good but never good enough, we're dark down to our soul
Lives spent flashing all we have but we never fill the hole
We are all the same, we are all the same
We are all the same, we're chasing down a name
All we are is a prodigal, a life well spent is never full
We change our name, we're all the same
Love is what we've heard before but we all play the game
All we are is a prodigal, yeah
Fallen, we are fallen but forgiven even more
The letter on our chest reminds us we are still the whore
We're runaways, we're done ways, we are the cast aside
But now our name is caught up, in our Christ we are the bride
We are all the same, we are all the same
We are all the same, we're chasing down a name
Yeah, we are all the same, we are all the same
We are all the same, we're chasing down a name
We're chasing down a name
There's something beautiful
about the way you don't make sense
A crown for a cross, heaven for earth,
beauty for ashes in the dirt.
There's something I will miss
Some kind of mystery in your grace.
Love comes from pain,
joy comes from loss,
still, we find beauty in the cross.
And hope from what was lost.
Though I can't wrap my mind
around the mysteries I'll be fine.
There's something beautiful
in all I can't see through.
There's something wonderful
about the way you break my heart
this world for a cross, riches for shame,
trading this glory for your name.
And success for lovely gain.
Though I can't wrap my mind,
around the mysteries I'll be fine.
There's something beautiful
in all I can't see through.
Though I don't understand today
the mysteries of grace I'll be okay.
There's something beautiful
in all I can't see through.
Ooh, something beautiful
Ooh, something beautiful
Though I can't wrap my mind,
around the mysteries I'll be fine.
There's something beautiful
in all I can't see through.
Though I don't understand today
the mysteries of grace I'll be okay.
There's something beautiful
in all I can't see through.
Ooh, something beautiful
Lost in the windows of time,
You see a time of change
Don't it all feel strange?
Stuck in the reverb of me,
I hear echos of myself
But I can't say what I see.
I'm finding the answers
To my great divide
Someday when the sky is falling I will let you
know
Someday when my dreams are caving in I will let
you know
I'll let you know
Forget the first verse of life:
There's nothing learned at all -
At least until you fall.
Stratospheres and atmospheres collide,
Worlds come to an end
And there's nowhere left to hide.
pre-chorus * chorus
...when I'm falling
I'll let you know when I'm calling
I'll let you know when I'm breaking
I'll let you know when I'm making it through.
Can you see through all these filthy rags
That I like to call my good
And see the mirror of my heart reflecting you
I know you listen to me, but what do you hear
Am I lovely to your ear?
All I want is to hear you say “well done”
Are you pleased with me?
Am I everything you want for me to be?
Are you pleased?
I know that I am nothing
Outside of who you are
And it’s you I should be striving to become
I know you’re watching over me, but what do you see
Am I moving towards the grace that covers me?
pre-chorus
Are you pleased with me?
Am I everything you want for me to be?
Am I drawing closer to you?
Is my heart deciding you are all I need?
Are you pleased?
Oh, I know I could never do enough on my own
But still you see me through the precious blood
Oh, it’s only the blood of Jesus…
All I want is to hear you say “well done”
Love is just a picture of Your glory
And my best tries at love have fallen short
I pretend these dirty clothes are holy
Knees patched up with grace from You, oh Lord
No one is righteous but I? m not the one You see
I? m clean, I? m covered by forgiveness here
And only You can forget all I? ve done
I? m clean through no good of my own
But when You look at me You see Your Son
And I am clean
Looking back, my past is worth forgetting
But every try brings me to my knees
Where I can see the shades of Your forgiving
Each color covers a sinful memory
No one is righteous but I? m not the one You see
I? m clean, I? m covered by forgiveness here
And only You can forget all I? ve done
I? m clean through no good of my own
But when You look at me You see Your Son
And I am clean
On my own I? m simply man at best
But my sin? s as far as east from west
[Incomprehensible]
I? m clean covered by forgiveness here
And only You can forget all I? ve done
I? m clean through no good of my own
But when You look at me You see Your Son
I saw a man today his whole world across his back a living monument opposed to my succes
i tried to look into his eyes as he shuffeled past my car sweat beading on his skin his clothes and hair a mess as the light turned green and i pulled away he slowly disapeared just a memory of another chance i failed to shwo your love here
Chorus: I wanna love because u love i wanna give because u gave i wanna reach my hand out to the lost because i know your hand will save Only you can save
i have to wonder if i really want to know the struggle and the pain others feel do i want to hear the stories i see echoed in there eyes or is this love i say that im reflecting even real as the light turns on inside my head and i slowly disapear i still myself cuz cause wut u call for me is to show your love here i wanna love because u love i wanna give because u give i wanna reach my hand out to the lost cuz i kno ur hand will save i wanna love just like you love i wanna give just like you gave i wanna reach out with ur hand cuz only u can save only u can save so let me be your hands(only u can save)let me be your eyes(only u can save)
help me understand(only u can save)im ur hands and feet hidden behind this frail human disguse
Where did we go wrong?
That it's common place
For the world to think
We live to stand for hate
One too many picket sign
Has deflected one too many times
The fact that all our lives
Were simply meant to give away
Oh, whoa, we're all messed up
Oh, whoa, but isn't that the point of love?
We are, we are, we are all broken people
But we've been set free and loved, whoa
We are, we are, we are the chosen people
Forgiven much
So where's our love, our love, our love?
Where's our love, our love, our love?
We come into this mess
Sin upon our heads
Born equals in a race
That ends only with death
But we've been running in reverse
Since love conquered death's dark curse
Shouldn't we reflect His love
To a world hung by a thread?
Oh, whoa, we're all messed up
Oh, whoa, but isn't that the point of love?
We are, we are, we are all broken people
But we've been set free and loved, whoa
We are, we are, we are the chosen people
Forgiven much
So where's our love, our love, our love?
Where's our love, our love, our love?
Oh, whoa, we're all messed up
Oh, whoa, but isn't that the point of love?
We are, we are, we are all broken people
We've been set free and loved, whoa
We are, we are, we are the chosen people
Forgiven much
So where's our love, our love, our love?
Where's our love, our love, our love?
So reach out, there's someone you know
That has never seen God's love
Reach out, someone you love
Feels like they've never been enough
Reach out, the untouchables
The unreachables, the never thought of's
Reach out, they're in need, they're in need
They're in need, they're in need of our love
Our love, our love, our love
Reach out
We're broken in two with love as an anchor
There's nothing to do but give in, give in
Mirror less eyes give off a reflection
The moonlight is fair as we rise again
Oh, can we move on, can we move on
From the love we've left behind?
Oh, can we move on, can we move on
From the love we'll never find?
We're giving into sweet desperation
When all this is through, we'll give in, give in
Channels of grace give off the aroma
Of love mixed with pain and hope raised again
Oh, can we move on, can we move on
From the love we've left behind?
Oh, can we move on, can we move on
From the love we'll never find?
The world is broken in too many pieces
But the brokenness is beautiful, it's beautiful
My heart is broken by beauty's mysteries
But the brokenness is beautiful, it's beautiful
Oh, can we move on, can we move on
From the love we've left behind?
Oh, can we move on, can we move on
From the love we'll never find? Yeah
The world is broken in too many pieces
But the brokenness is beautiful, it's beautiful
My heart is broken by beauty's mysteries
Lately I've been feeling separated
Like I'm standing on the outside looking in
I can't believe how long I've waited
To feel like I'm a part of it again
I've been feeling like I'm having trouble feeling
What's been going on deep down
And every moment that been stealing
Is a moment that won't be coming back around
Don't know how I got here
But I'm so tired of giving in
I'm taking it back, I'm taking control of
The time I've wasted
I'm not going back this weary soul is
Tired of chasing myself, yeah, I'm taking it back
Lately I've been stuck on autopilot
Breathing just to breath, falling just to fall asleep
Maybe all that I can do is fight it off
And make a promise to myself that I can keep
Don't know how I got here
But I'm, I'm so tired of giving in
I'm taking it back, I'm taking control of
The time I've wasted
I'm not going back, this weary soul is
Tired of chasing myself, yeah, I'm taking it back
I'm taking it back
I'm taking it back, I'm taking control of
The time I've wasted
I'm not going back, this weary soul is
Tired of chasing myself
I'm taking it back, I'm taking control of
The time I've wasted
I'm not going back 'cause this weary soul is
Tired of chasing myself
I'm taking it back
I'm taking it back
I'm taking it back, yeah
We'll both pretend that everything is fine
Until the morning time
When light cuts through the shadows where we hid
We shadow box the morning light
With covers in our hands too tight
We curse away the sight of our mistake
And oh, it's catching up
And oh, it's catching up with us
We all pretend we're making it
'Cause we can't admit we're faking it
In a world we won't believe is never right
We'll cover up just one more time
The sin we hope nobody finds
We tiptoe to the line of our mistakes
And oh, it's catching up
And oh, it's catching up with us
And oh, we need more time
And oh, we need more time
My drug of choice is detectable
But my sickness isn't catchable
'Cause all of us are sick with what I have
I'm sick with self and sick from pride
I'm sick of all the times I've lied
I've struggled and I've tried to be all right
But oh, it's catching up
And oh, it's catching up with us
And oh, it's catching up
And oh, it's catching up with us
I wrap God in my perfect packages
A self-made box of wants and needs
With hands raised high, I sing my praise
And forget the ones left in the streets
But God does not reside
In churches made of stone
I will not find Him
In palaces of gold
He's in the weak, He's in the orphan
He's in the broken and abandoned
That have been too long ignored
He's crying out, His arms are reaching
We find him in the helpless and the poor, yeah
The least of these is who His heart beats for
So will we stand for the sake of justice?
Will we live in the name of love?
Will we defend the case of the fatherless
And take their cause up as our own?
'Cause God does not reside
In churches made of stone
We will not find Him
In palaces of gold
He's in the weak, He's in the orphan
He's in the broken and abandoned
That have been too long ignored
He's crying out, His arms are reaching
We find Him in the helpless and the poor, yeah
The least of these is who His heart beats for
With the same mercy
That we've been given
From His grace received
We must freely give, whoa
He's in the weak, He's in the orphan
He's in the broken and abandoned
That have been too long ignored
He's crying out, His arms are reaching
We find Him in the helpless and the poor, yeah
The least of these is who His heart beats for
He's in the weak, He's in the weak
I want you to know, I want you know
That I'm weaker than I told you
Can I open my soul, can I open my soul
And let you in?
'Cause light only shines, yeah, light only shines
From the places where we're broken
And that's where we find, yeah, that's where we find
That grace begins
Oh, it's easy now to let it go
The only thing that's left to show
That love has healed our broken hearts
Is scars, yeah
There's nothing to prove, no, nothing to prove
You don't have to be somebody
You are who you are and even your scars
Are lovely
Oh, it's easy now to let it go
The only thing that's left to show
That love has healed our broken hearts
Is scars, yeah
The secrets that we're keeping from each other
The weaknesses we all want to hide
The places where we're falling all to pieces
The tears we cry
Oh, it's easy now to let it go
The only thing that's left to show
That love has healed our broken hearts
Is scars, yeah, yeah
Collect all the broken pieces
Gather the memories one by one
Put all of the photographs
Into a box that proves you're done
We've all had defining moments
We've all had our hearts torn from our chest
If time makes the heart grow fonder
What lets your heart get over this?
Love is patient, love is kind
But not always the first time
You fall then you break
That's all that it takes
To make up your mind
To hold out for next time
You breathe in the change
Till you feel love again
The end's the beginning not the end
Forget all the well-placed damage
Let go of the shadows left behind
The footprints of love's sweet carnage
Slip further behind you with the time
Love is good, love never fails
But leaves you behind to tell the tale
Chorus
You're never going to understand
The mysteries of love and man
No matter how you break your neck to try
You live, you love, you lose control
You hold on tight, you let it go
You never understand the reason why
You're the one that's left behind
We were young with hopes that last a lifetime
Burning dreams of anticipation
10 years on and we're still trying to figure out
What to be when we grow up
We're almost 30, still getting it together
Getting desperate, is this gonna take forever?
Oh, does everybody feel this way
Getting old but never growing up?
Oh, is there a destination waiting for me
Where I can finally meet, the man I'm meant to be?
We are young, with hopes that fade with ages
Life is full of empty pages
We're like a river, twisting and turning
But never finds the open sea
Oh, does everybody feel this way
Getting old but never growing up?
Oh, is there a destination waiting for me
Where I can finally meet, the man I'm meant to be?
Oh, I need someone to change me
I need someone to show me, where could I begin
Oh, I need someone to lead me
Hold my hand and take me, to where I've never been, oh
I'm getting desperate, is this gonna take forever?
Oh, does everybody feel this way
I'm getting old but never growing up?
Oh, is there a destination waiting for me
Where I can finally meet, the man I'm meant to be oh?
The man I'm meant to be
We were young with hopes that last a lifetime
You can never understand
just how scared I am.
I've lived and loved and
lost a thousand times.
This is a second chance
just to make it past
all this energy.
Chorus:
I don't wanna cry
tonight. Don't wanna
hang my heart on my
sleeve. But You're
everything my soul
could ever need.
I don't wanna cry
tonight.
Just a little faith
gets us farther in
this race. But we
all know trust don't
come too easily. Is
this just romance?
Will we take a chance
on something beautiful?
Chorus 2:
I don't wanna cry tonight.
Don't wanna hang my heart
on my sleeve. But You're
everything my soul
could ever need.I don't
wanna cry tonight. Don't
wanna know my heart's broke
in two. 'Cause all I'll ever
need right here is You. I
don't wanna cry tonight.
Don't say it's hard enough
to be myself 'cause all I
ever need is You. All I need
is You.
Do you ever feel like a plastic bag
Drifting through the wind, wanting to start again?
Do you ever feel, feel so paper thin
Like a house of cards, one blow from caving in?
Do you ever feel already buried deep?
Six feet under screams but no one seems to hear a thing
Do you know that there's still a chance for you
'Cause there's a spark in you?
You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
'Cause baby, you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down
You don't have to feel like a waste of space
You're original, cannot be replaced
If you only knew what the future holds
After a hurricane comes a rainbow
Maybe you're reason why all the doors are closed
So you could open one that leads you to the perfect
road
Like a lightning bolt, your heart will blow
And when it's time, you'll know
You just gotta ignite the light and let it shine
Just own the night like the 4th of July
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
It's always been inside of you, you, you
And now it's time to let it through
'Cause baby you're a firework
Come on, show 'em what you're worth
Make 'em go, oh
As you shoot across the sky
Baby, you're a firework
Come on, let your colors burst
Make 'em go, oh
You're gonna leave 'em falling down
Boom, boom, boom
Even brighter than the moon, moon, moon
Boom, boom, boom
In a moment, love can pass you by
And in a moment, a heart can come alive
Every moment’s getting better
Every moment brings me closer to you
Can I hold you till the morning light
Takes away the dead of night
And sunrise shines on you?
Can love take all these fears away
Till morning comes with brand new day?
It’s love that pulls us through
In a moment.
In a moment love can tear you down
And in a moment a heart can come around
pre-chorus * chorus
I feel you in my heart
I feel you in my soul
Oh, you make me whole
In a moment…
Stars go down in the western sky
The light fades in as the darkness dies
Sunlight, sweet sunlight
Brings the day that You've created
Perfect remedy
For all that tears at me
Arise, arise with the morning
Arise, your mercies are new
Arise, arise with the morning
That finds me running back to you
Darkness comes and covers all my faults
Tears fall down, sting my wounds like salt
Hopes fade, till I'm caught
In the day that You've created
pre-chorus * chorus
I'm anxiously waiting
Redemption is brimming
With stories created
Each new day
I know you are coming
Love is a loaded gun and
my trigger finger lingers
waiting for the right time to
let this go.
I know I'm not the only one
who feels this, hears this.
Is it a near miss?
'Cause I think it's finally
time to let my feelings show.
Are good intentions as
far as I can go?
Chorus: Kind words, just
a bullet in a chamber.
Big talk but nothing's
ever changing.
Take aim but never making
my mark. Love can change a
world but it's gotta
start with my heart.
Love is a gift of one
and it's all I can't
buy, but I'm looking for
a reason I can give it now.
Every single mother's son
reaches out for love from
someone. And I hold the key
to breaking through the doubt.
Are good intentions
as far as I can go?
(Chorus)
Are good intentions
as far as I can go?
