Crown Him with many crowns The Lamb upon His throne Hark! How the heavenly anthem drowns All music but its own; Awake my soul and sing Of Him who died for me And hail Him as thy matchless King Through all eternity.
[Chorus:] Majesty, Lord of all Let every throne before Him fall The King of kings, O come adore Our God who reigns forever - more.
[Verse 2:] Crown Him Lord of life Who triumphed o'er the grave And rose victorious in the strife For those He came to save; His glories now we sing Who died and rose on high Who died eternal life to bring And lives that death may die.
[Bridge:] All hail, Redeemer, hail For He has died for me His praise and glory shall not fail Throughout eternity.
Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Were you there when they crucified my Lord? Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble. Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they nailed him to the tree? Were you there when they nailed him to the tree? Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble. Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?
Were you there when they pierced him in the side? Were you there when they pierced him in the side? Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble. Were you there when they pierced him in the side?
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb? Were you there when they laid him in the tomb? Oh! Sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble, tremble. Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?
To the suffering and the lean To the ones the world has cast aside Where you want me I will be
[Chorus:] I will go, I will go I will go, Lord send me To the world, To the lost To the poor and hungry Take everything I am I'm clay within your hands I will go, I will go, send me
Let me not be blind with privilege Give me eyes to see the pain Let the blessing You've poured out on me Not be spent on me in vain Let this life be used for change
[Chorus]
I wanna live for you Go where you lead me I wanna follow you [Repeat 3x]
Every move I make, I make in You You make me move, Jesus Every breath I take I breathe in You Every step I take, I take in You You are my way, Jesus Every breath I take, I breathe in You
Waves of mercy Waves of grace Everywhere I look I see Your face Your love has captured me O my God, this love How can it be?
You brought me this far so why would I question You now You have provided so why would I start to doubt I've never been stranded, abandoned or left here to fight alone So I'm giving You control
I lift my life, lift my life up I give it all in surrender I lift my heart, lift my heart up You can have it forever All my dreams, all my plans Lord I leave it in Your hands I lift my life, lift my life up
Have Your way in me Have Your way in me
If peace is a river then let it sweep over me If I'm under fire I know it's refining me When I hear You calling out I follow now wherever the road may go I know You're leading me home
I lift my life, lift my life up I give it all in surrender I lift my heart, lift my heart up You can have it forever All my dreams, all my plans Lord I leave it in Your hands I lift my life, lift my life up
Have Your way in me Have Your way in me
Take my life and let it be all for You Take my life and let it be all for You
I lift my life, lift my life up I give it all in surrender I lift my heart, lift my heart up (Take my life)
I lift my life, lift my life up I give it all in surrender (Take my heart) I lift my heart, lift my heart up You can have it forever All my dreams, all my plans Lord I leave it in Your hands I lift my life, lift my life up
Have Your way with me Have Your way with me Have Your way with me Have Your way with me
I hear the clock beep, pull me out of my sleep Tell me there's a day ahead of me Trying to wake up, sipping on a hot cup With the little lady in green
And I'm praying ‘bout the man I wanna be Saying, God, please take all of me And fill me up with Your love
Love, take these words that I'm speaking Love, take these thoughts that I'm thinking Love, take me over Love, fill up all of my space and Love, stand right here in my place Love, hear this prayer that I'm praying Love, take me, Love, take me over Love, take me over
This is what I'm sure of, I can only show love When I really know how loved I am When it over takes me, then it animates me Flowing from my heart into my hands
So I'm praying, Father, help my heart believe That right now You're singing over me And fill me up with Your love
Let your never-ending, never-failing, all-consuming love Take over me
So I am praying, Father, help my heart believe That right now You're singing over me And fill me up with Your love
Love, take everything that I'm doing Love, like a river, flow through me Love, take me over Love, fill up all of my space and Love, stand right here in my place Love, hear this prayer that I'm praying Love, take me, Love, take me over Love, take me, Love, take me over Love, take me, Love, take me over Love, take me over
I'm trying to find where my place is I'm looking for my own oasis So close I can taste this The fear that love alone erases
So I'm back to the basics I figure it's time I face this Time to take my own advice
Love alone is worth the fight Love alone is worth the fight
And I never thought it'd come to this But it seems like I'm finally feeling numb to this The funny thing about a name is You forget what the reason you were playing the game is
And it's all an illusion A 21st century institution So I'm headed down the open road unknown
And we find what we're made of Through the open door Is it fear you're afraid of? What are you waiting for?
Love alone is worth the fight Love alone is worth the fight
We're only here for a season I'm looking for the rhyme and reason Why you're born, why you're leaving What you fear and what you believe in
Why you're living and breathing Why you're fighting it and getting it even Let's go headed down the open road unknown
And we find what we're made of Through the open door Is it fear you're afraid of? What are you waiting for?
Love alone is worth the fight Love alone is worth the fight
Yeah, yeah, yeah Oh! Oh!
Here we are, here we go Where the road is our own Hear it calling you home Here we are, here we go!
Love alone is worth the fight Love alone is worth the fight Love alone is worth the fight Love alone is worth the fight Love alone is worth the fight
Sitting at the stoplight He can't be bothered by the heart cry Written on the cardboard in her hand But when she looks him in the eye His heart is broken open wide And he feels the hand of God reach out through him As Heaven touches earth
(Chorus) Oh - we bring the Kingdom come Oh - with every act of love Jesus help us carry You Alive in us, Your light shines through With every act of love We bring the Kingdom come
There's silence at the table He wants to talk but he's not able For all the shame that's locked him deep inside But her words are the medicine When she says they can begin again And forgiveness will set him free tonight As Heaven touches earth
(Chorus)
God put a million, million doors in the world For his love to walk through One of those doors is you I said, God put a million, million doors in the world For his love to walk through One of those doors is you
(Chorus)
Oh - we bring the Kingdom come Oh - with every act of love Jesus help us carry You Alive in us, Your light shines through With every act of love We bring the Kingdom come With every act of love We bring the Kingdom come With every act of love We bring the Kingdom come
Some days , life feels perfect . Other days it just is not the workin . The good, the bad , the right , the wrong And everything in between .
Though it 's crazy , amazing We can turn a heart with the words we say . Mountains crumble with every Syllable . Hope can live or die
So speak Life , Life speak . To the deadest darkest night . Life Speak , speak Life . When the sun will not shine and you do not know why . Look into the eyes of the Brokenhearted ; Watch them come alive as soon as you speak hope , Love you speak , you speak ... You speak Life , ( oh oh oh oh oh oh ) You speak Life . ( oh oh oh oh oh oh )
Some days the tongue gets twisted ; Other days my thoughts just fall apart . I do , I do , I will , I will not , It's like I'm drowning in the deep .
Well it's crazy to imagine , Words from our lips as the arms of compassion , Mountains crumble with every Syllable . Hope can live or die .
So speak Life , Life speak . To the deadest darkest night . Life Speak , speak Life . When the sun will not shine and you do not know why . Look into the eyes of the Brokenhearted ; Watch them come alive as soon as you speak hope , Love you speak , you speak ... You speak Life , ( oh oh oh oh oh oh ) You speak Life . ( oh oh oh oh oh oh )
Lift your head a little higher , Spread the love like fire , Hope will fall like rain , When you speak life with the words you say .
Raise your thoughts a little higher , Use your words to inspire , Joy will fall like rain , When you speak life with the things you say .
Lift your head a little higher , Spread the love like fire , Hope will fall like rain , When you speak life with the words you say .
So speak Life , Life speak . To the deadest darkest night . Life Speak , speak Life . When the sun will not shine and you do not know why . Look into the eyes of the Brokenhearted ; Watch them come alive as soon as you speak hope , Love you speak , you speak ... You speak Life , ( oh oh oh oh oh oh ) You speak Life . ( oh oh oh oh oh oh )
You speak Life , ( oh oh oh oh oh oh ) You speak Life . ( oh oh oh oh oh oh )

Life gets tough , and times get hard It's hard to find the truth in all the lies
If you're tired of wondering why Your heart is not healing And nothing feels like home Cause you're lost and alone just screaming at the sky
When you do not know what to say Just say Jesus There is power in the name The name of Jesus If the words will not come Cause you're to afraid to pray Just say Jesus
Whisper it now , or shout it out However it comes out , He hears your cry Out of nowhere He will come , you got to believe it He will rescue you Just call out to the Way , The Truth , The Light
When you do not know what to say Just say Jesus There is power in the name The name of Jesus If the words will not come Cause you're to afraid to pray There is just one name Strong enough to save There is just one name There is just one name Jesus
When you do not know what to say Just say Jesus There 's still power in the name The name of Jesus If the words wont come Cause you're to afraid to pray If the words wont come And you do not know what to say Just say Jesus
When it 's coming apart, you had it all It was not enough . No, it's not enough They tell you it's not worth the price, so just let it go But you know you can not . You know you won't
It's not easy , no Finding the words to say When you're feeling lost, you'll find your way
The world is so broken and sometimes it leaves you cold At nighttimes you can't feel the fire to guide you home The demons will haunt you and try to steal what you know But the angels, they brought you and they're gonna hold you up They're gonna hold you up .
They see the fear in your eyes, heart sinks like a stone 'Cause when you're afraid, it weighs on your soul
It's not easy, no Finding the words to say When you're feeling lost, you'll find your way
The world is so broken and sometimes it leaves you cold At nighttimes you can't feel the fire to guide you home The demons will haunt you and try to steal what you know But the angels, they brought you and they're gonna hold you up They're gonna hold you up They're gonna hold you up They're gonna hold you up
It's not easy, no Finding the words to say When you're feeling lost, you'll find your way
The world is so broken and sometimes it leaves you cold At nighttimes you can't feel the fire to guide you home The demons will haunt you and try to steal what you know But the angels, they brought you and they're gonna hold you up They're gonna hold you up They're gonna hold you up They're gonna hold you up
When the timing is right, somehow you'll know When nobody stands, stand on your own
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide When other helpers fail and comforts flee Help of the helpless, O abide with me
Thou on my head in early youth didst smile And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee On to the close, O Lord, abide with me
I need Thy presence every passing hour What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power? Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me
I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness Where is death's sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if Thou abide with me
Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me
You choose the humble and raise them high You choose the weak and make them strong You heal our brokenness inside And give us life
The same love that set the captives free The same love that opened eyes to see Is calling us all by name You are calling us all by name The same God that spread the heavens wide The same God that was crucified Is calling us all by name You are calling us all by name
You take the faithless one aside And speak the words "You are mine" You call the cynic and the proud Come to me now
The same love that set the captives free The same love that opened eyes to see Is calling us all by name You are calling us all by name The same God that spread the heavens wide The same God that was crucified Is calling us all by name You are calling us all by name
Oh oh...
You're calling You're calling You're calling us to the cross (Repeat 4x)
The same love that set the captives free The same love that opened eyes to see Is calling us all by name You are calling us all by name The same God that spread the heavens wide The same God that was crucified Is calling us all by name You are calling us all by name
You're calling You're calling You're calling us to the cross You're calling You're calling You're calling us to the cross
I've been doing all that I can To hold it all together Piece by piece. I've been feeling like a failure, Trying to be braver Than I could ever be. It's just not me.
So be my healer, be my comfort, be my peace. Cause I can be broken, I can be needy, Lord I need You now to be, Be my God, so I can just be me.
I've been living like an orphan, Trying to belong here, But it's just not my home. I've been holding on so tightly, To all the things that I think Could satisfy my soul. But I'm letting go...
So be my father, my mighty warrior, be my king. Cause I can be scattered, frail and shattered, Lord I need You now to be, Be my God, so I can just be me.
Cause I was lost in this dark world Until I was finally found in You So now I'm needing, desperately pleading Oh Lord, be all to me
And be my savior, be my lifeline, won't You be my everything. Cause I'm so tired of trying to be someone I was never meant to be Be my God Please be my God Be my God So I can just be me So I can just be me I can just be me.
Written by Henry Francis Lyte (1793-1847) whose father abandoned him at an early age and never let his son call him "father", the song is a testament to the power of the gospel to address even situations where the rot of sin has spread into family relationships.
Jesus, I my cross have taken, All to leave and follow Thee; Destitute, despised, forsaken, Thou from hence my All shalt be. Perish every fond ambition, All I've sought or hoped or known; Yet how rich is my condition! God and heaven are still my own.
Let the world despise and leave me, They have left my Savior, too. Human hearts and looks deceive me; Thou art not, like them, untrue. And while Thou shalt smile upon me, God of wisdom, love, and might, Foes may hate and friends may shun me; Show Thy face, and all is bright.
Go, then, earthly fame and treasure! Come, disaster, scorn, and pain! In Thy service, pain is pleasure; With Thy favor, loss is gain. I have called Thee Abba, Father! I have stayed my heart on Thee. Storms may howl, and clouds may gather, All must work for good to me.
Man may trouble and distress me, 'Twill but drive me to Thy breast; Life with trials hard may press me, Heaven will bring me sweeter rest. Oh, 'tis not in grief to harm me While Thy love is left to me; Oh, 'twere not in joy to charm me Were that joy unmixed with Thee.
Take, my soul, thy full salvation; Rise o'er sin and fear and care; Joy to find in every station, Something still to do or bear. Think what Spirit dwells within thee, What a Father's smile is thine, What a Savior died to win thee; Child of heaven, shouldst thou repine?
Haste, then, on from grace to glory, Armed by faith and winged by prayer; Heaven's eternal day's before thee, God's own hand shall guide thee there. Soon shall close the earthly mission, Swift shall pass thy pilgrim days, Hope soon change to glad fruition, Faith to sight, and prayer to praise.

Verse 1
Falling in Your arms again It doesn’t matter where I am I can always lean back find the arms that always calm me down
No trouble too much for You No tangle you can’t undo, You always find a way To stand me up again, send me on my way I hear you say
Chorus
Lean upon Me now Lay your troubles down My shoulders strong enough to hold you Lean upon Me now Lay your troubles down My shoulders strong enough to hold you To hold you uu uuh uuh
Verse 2
With heavy steps I come to You I see Your smile and I am soothed, As I reach out again You take hold of my hands, As tears fill up my eyes As I hear You lullaby
i heard about the day you went away, you said you had to go prepare a place, and even though i never seen your face, I'm missing you,
i lie awake tonight and i watch the sky, and i wish you didn't have to be so high, cause I'm longing on the other side, and I'm missing you,
somewhere behind those stars, is someone who belongs to me, and i know in my deepest heart, there's a place for you, until i find the place you made for me, still I'm missing you,
i dream about your promise to return, and i wake up hanging on your every word, but for now my feet are planted here on earth, and I'm missing you
and even while they say that I'm a fool, i know you see me waiting here for you, and I'm praying that somehow you get here soon cause I'm missing you
somewhere behind those stars, is someone who belongs to me, and i know in my deepest heart, there's a place for you, until i find the place you made for me, still I'm missing you,
how much longer will it be, till i get to see you, though i know your right here with me, tell me when can i be there with you,
somewhere behind those stars, is someone who belongs to me, and i know in my deepest heart, there's a place for you, until i find the place you made for me, still I'm missing you,
I’m afraid that you don’t know How much I think the world of you That I care for you so much That I try not to so much But here is my predicament That you’re not mine you’re just a friend So I’ll hold onto my heart Until we are sure
Chorus
So lets keep our hearts secure in our Fathers hands As we seek and pray for His will and His plans I will always love you as my brother and my friend To only bless you in this time is my earnest prayer Until we both know which way to go
Verse 2
I respect you I know that you’re a child of His I see how He is making your heart so big And it is beautiful to me I love all the things that make up who you are I love your raw knowing of your need for God It’s inspiring to me
I thought I walked in liberty I thought your treasures would make me happy They were the very things that binded me Goodbye old man You promised you had what would fill me They were the very things that robbed me Leaving my heart completely empty Goodbye old man
Goodbye old man I hope not to see you again I don’t want to be your friend Goodbye old man The old has gone Behold the new has come With you I never did have fun Goodbye old man
God gave Him who knew no sin To become sin for us that we might be Reconciled to our Father Now I am in Christ and in Christ I am free His law is the law of liberty
Oh the memories with you I’ve had too many But you’ll have no more with me Goodbye old man
It’s alright He’s by my side And He’ll take good care of me It’s alright He’s on my side And He knows my every need
He said, Oh you of little faith See the sparrows in the sky Unencumbered by the cares of the world I feed even them Clothe the lilies in the field How much more to Me are you worth than these I gave My Son for you
It’s alright I’m by your side and I’ll take good care of you It’s alright I’m on your side And I know all that you go through
He said, When you’re at your lowest of lows I want you to know I think more of you than what you could yourself My love is deeper than the oceans Wider than the valleys higher than the mountain tops I gave My Son for you
I said, You formed then fought for my heart Father how great Thou art I know all that You are seems too good but it’s true You made me then saved me Love me unconditionally Father of mine how did You Give your Son for me

Chorus
Bridge 2
I’ll love you forever I’ll love you til forever I’ll love you forever my love
I'm following the lines looking for the answers to a prayer I'm looking for the signs waiting for the signal that you're there If you ask why I believe oh the only thing that I could ever say
Ref : You never know when life will turn around One day your faith's strong the next it can't be found you're not looking all I know it's out of my control And you never know
I try to figure in the time When miracles should happen to appear And when it comes down to it There's nothing more that I can do down here I want to place it in your hands Even though I want to understand
You never know when life will turn around One day your faith's strong the next it can't be found you're not looking All I know oh it's out of my control And you never know
If you want to spend your life In your design, you're only wasting time
You never know when life will turn around One day your faith's strong the next it can't be found you're not looking All I know oh it's out of my control You never know yea yea You never know oohhhh
Sing to me beauty, let your voice lead the way. And in your words I'll find the things I could not say. Oh how I've longed to write a love song just for you. But on my own I've found it's just another thing I couldn't do. Whisper the reason when the sun just hides away. And how do the seasons know exactly when to change? Who on earth could find a language or a line; Or count the ways to best describe the beauty found in your design?
No other one There is just no other like you. No other one There is no one else but you. It's in the way you will the wind to calm the ocean. That's who you are to me. There could never be another one.
So amazing, kind of crazy, but it's true. That my affection is obsession when it comes to you. And let me say as I am falling on my face That I am lacking better words, but I just write them anyway.
No other one There is just no other like you. No other one Lord there is no one else but you. It's in the way you will the wind to calm the ocean. That's who you are to me; It's all I'll ever need. It's so clear to me, there could never be another one.
Let everything that breathes Praise You The earth, the sky, the sea Praise You Just as nature shows to us Your blessing Soon I find my heart Confessing
Chorus:
My love is not my own It all belongs to You And after all You've done the least that I Can do Is live my life In every part Only to please my Father's heart
Verse 2:
Love is all You need To heal us Flowing from the heavens, Jesus And with one voice we'll sing Together And this will be our song Forever (Chorus)
Whenever I'm left in the cold Whenever there's pain in my soul Whenever I'm losing control And feeling like I'm all alone Whenever I'm lost and confused Whenever it's hard to break through The only thing left I can do is run
I run to you always I run to you always
Whenever I think of your face When everything's going my way When I'm having one of those days When everything falls into place You've always been right by my side And I trust you with all of my life If you're ever in need of me I will run
I run to you always I run to you always
I run to you, I run to you, run to you
I run to you always I run to you always
Whenever I'm left in the cold, whenever there's pain in my soul I run to you, I run to you Whenever I'm lost and confused and I don't know what I'm gonna do I run to you, I run to you
Verse 1: Who breaks the power of sin and darkness Whose love is mighty and so much stronger The King of Glory, the King above all kings
Who shakes the whole earth with holy thunder Who leaves us breathless in awe and wonder The King of Glory, the King above all kings
Chorus: This is amazing grace This is unfailing love That You would take my place That You would bear my cross You lay down Your life That I would be set free Jesus, I sing for All that You've done for me
Verse 2: Who brings our chaos back into order Who makes the orphan a son and daughter The King of Glory, the King of Glory
Who rules the nations with truth and justice Shines like the sun in all of its brilliance The King of Glory, the King above all kings
Bridge: Worthy is the Lamb who was slain Worthy is the King who conquered the grave Worthy is the Lamb who was slain Worthy is the King who conquered the grave
One million reasons why, you shouldn't even try. After all you're just one heart, a single candle in the dark. And there are shadows here, feeding on your fears, That you don't have what it takes - who are you to make a change?
But oh, oh, don't underestimate the God you follow.
Whatever you do, just don't look back. Oh somebody needs the light you have. Whatever you do, just don't lose heart. Keep on pushing back the dark, Keep on pushing back the dark.
The city on a hill, it should be shining still. Every sinner saved by grace, has a purpose, has a place Inside the bigger plan, we might not understand. But if we just keep walking on, we will see the Kingdom come, yeah.
Whatever you do, just don't look back. Oh somebody needs the light you have. Whatever you do, just don't lose heart. Keep on pushing back the dark, Keep on pushing back the dark.
(Let your lights all shine...) Oh, oh, don't underestimate the God you follow. He is the light that burns inside your soul, So keep on shining 'til the whole world knows.
Whatever you do, just don't look back. Oh somebody needs the light you have. Whatever you do, just don't lose heart. Keep on pushing back the dark, Just keep on pushing back the dark, dark.
Whatever you do, just don't look back. Cause somebody needs the light you have. Whatever you do, just don't lose heart. Keep on pushing back the dark, Keep on pushing back the dark, yeah
(Let your lights all shine) When you feel like you're too small (Let your lights all shine) To do any good at all (Let your lights all shine) Like a sunrise through the window (Let your lights all shine) Like a symphony crescendo (Let your lights all shine) We are waking up again, we are rising from the dead (Let your lights all shine) We are shining like the stars, we are pushing back the dark (Let your lights all shine) Yeah, we are pushing back, pushing back the dark (Let your lights all shine) We are pushing back, we are pushing back, pushing back the dark (Let your lights all shine) Just pushing back, we are pushing back, pushing back the dark (Let your lights all shine)

There's a wreckage, there's a fire There's a weakness in my love There's a hunger I can't control Lord I falter and I fall down Then I hold on to the chains you broke When You came down and saved my soul Save my soul
Hallelujah We are free to struggle We're not struggling to be free Your blood bought and makes us children So children drop your chains and sing
So I look, do I still fail Do I withhold, do I still give in to temptation On my own I am bankrupt I will trust You, I'll take you at your word You promise
Hallelujah We are free to struggle We're not struggling to be free Your blood bought and makes us children So children drop your chains and sing
Hallelujah, death is overcome And we are breathing Hallelujah our stone hearts become flesh A flesh that's beating Hallelujah chains have been undone And we are singing Hallelujah the fire has begun Can you feel it?
Hallelujah, death is overcome And we are breathing Hallelujah our stone hearts become flesh A flesh that's beating Hallelujah chains have been undone And we are singing Hallelujah the fire has begun Can you feel it?
Hallelujah We are free to struggle We're not struggling to be free Your blood bought and makes us children So children drop your chains and sing (Ooh's)
Dear John, How you doin’ I’ve been thinking about you I’m not sure how to say it, but I’ve been praying daily For some kind of a breakthrough
I’ve said this a thousand times And I know you don’t see my side But I do it ‘cause I love you So, dear John here’s the truth...
There’s freedom On the other side of Things that keep us tied up and afraid There’s hope in every situation No matter what you’re facing everyday But it’s up to you You get to choose The Father is waiting there with open arms
Dear John, People hurt you And you know I’ve been hurt too There’s no way to escape it, don’t let your pain be wasted No, don’t let it get the best of you ‘Cause God took my broken parts And gave me a brand new start Now I am walking, breathing, living proof And, dear John, He can do this for you
There’s freedom On the other side of Things that keep us tied up and afraid There’s hope in every situation No matter what you’re facing everyday But it’s up to you You get to choose The Father is waiting there with open arms
Dear John, It’s a not a list of do’s and don’ts Not a record of your faults He gave his life pay it all Dear John, He loves you just the way you are You are forgiven by His scars Just open up your heart, your heart
There’s freedom On the other side of Things that keep us tied up and afraid There’s hope in every situation No matter what you’re facing everyday But it’s up to you You get to choose The Father is waiting there with open arms
These scars aren’t pretty But they’re a part of me And will not ever fade away These marks tell a story Of me down in the valley And how You reached in with Your grace And healed me
They remind me of Your faithfulness And all You brought me through They teach me that my brokenness Is something You can use They show me where I’ve been and That I’m not there any more That’s what scars, that’s what scars are for what scars are for
Erase, rewind Wish I could every time The hurt, the pain cuts so deep But when I’m weak You’re strong And in Your power I can carry on And my scars say that You won’t ever leave
They remind me of Your faithfulness And all You brought me through They teach me that my brokenness Is something You can use They show me where I’ve been and That I’m not there any more That’s what scars, that’s what scars are for
I see it on the cross The nails You took for me Scars can change the world Scars can set me free
They remind me of Your faithfulness And all You brought me through They teach me that my brokenness Is something You can use They show me where I’ve been and That I’m not there any more That’s what scars, that’s what scars are for They show me that’s what scars are for What scars are for What scars are for
I wonder if you think of me like I think of you Do you long for my touch I’ll honor you with purity, so you can have all of me Am I saying too much?
For now I’m waiting, anticipating Baby, I know that you’ll be The one that’s strong when I am weak I’ll love you through the good and the bad For rich or for poor May not have much but this I’m sure ‘Til my dream comes true I’ll be praying for you, praying for you
I wonder what’s in store for me Who you’re gonna be Have you ever passed me by And I know that you are working hard For our picket fence and yard Maybe a little girl and boy
But for now, I’m waiting, oh anticipating Baby, I know that you’ll be The one that’s strong when I am weak I’ll love you through the good and the bad For rich or for poor May not have much but this I’m sure ‘Til my dream comes true I’ll be praying for you, praying for you
That you will fear the Lord I’ll pray we’ll be on one accord That God will bless everything we do I pray that He will shield your heart That we will not be torn apart And side by side in Jesus’ name we’ll stand But for now we’re waiting, anticipating
For rich or for poor May not have much but this I’m sure ‘Til my dream comes true I’ll be praying for you Everyday I’m praying for you
Life was formed in Your hands You alone tell my story All my hours like sand I surrender all
Through the battle I’ll sing Lord, I know You are for me My whole heart I will bring I surrender all
[CHORUS:] In You I find rest, I find rest, in You I find rest In You I find rest, I find rest, in You I find rest
In my deepest of fears In my hours of weakness From an ocean of tears I surrender all
For Your word is my sword And Your arms are my fortress I know victory is Yours I surrender all
[CHORUS]
Though the darkness falls And the storms are raging I will find my shelter in You, in You Fount of mercy new God of love unchanging Now my heart is resting in You
[CHORUS]
Life was formed in Your hand You alone tell my story All my hours like sand I surrender all
At the feet of Jesus I will lay my burdens down I will lay my heavy burdens down In the stillness I can hear my Savior calling out Come to me and lay your burdens down
So I will lay down my struggles I will lay down my shame All the fear I drag around through this life like a ball and chain (All my questions and confusion) I will sing Hallelujah to the One who sets me free And you will find me at the feet of Jesus
In the arms of Jesus I will find my peace and rest I hear him calling come to me and rest Carried by my shepherd cradled tightly to His chest There and there alone my soul finds rest
So I will rest in the shelter of my Savior’s embrace Hidden safely in the refuge of His mercy and His Grace And I Will Sing Hallelujah to the One who sets me free And you will find me in the arms of Jesus
At the feet of my Savior At the feet of my King I will bow down and worship I will lift my voice and sing Hallelujah Hallelujah to the One who sets me free You will find me at the feet of Jesus
