In Your Word

How can a man, keep his way pure
How can anyone echo the likes of you
How can a bad day turn into a good
It’s all in the whisper of your love, that’s raining from above

In your word
A sanctuary of peace
Your word
Can set any prisoner free, yeah
In your word, is the key to old rusty chains that confine me
In your Word-

On the mountains high, in the deep blue sea
Reflections of you live inside of me
I become less you become more
It’s all in the whisper of your love, raining from above

Now that I’ve heard it from you, Jesus
I can know what you want me to do, Jesus
I can conquer any minute alone
Cause I know that someday, you’re taking me home, yeah

If anyone is thirsty, come to me and drink
(You make everything beautiful, Jesus)

Upside from your Down

When you falter, don’t you know it’s not quite what it seems?
When I see you, my friend, better believe I know just what you need.

Cos when the world starts spinning, the world starts winning, it takes your sanity.
But when the tide turns ‘round the answer can be found. He’ll turn your upside from your down.

You’re a winner. Don’t you ever settle for nothing less. You’re a sinner, my friend.
All He ever wants from you is your best.

Candle

I was dying on the edge of life. Now I’m living on the edge. Moving through without a reason, then I met my destiny.
I found your love for me. Your love has set me free.

The candle of my love for you is burning stronger and it’s lasting longer than any love I ever knew.

Well, I looked to the invisible with eyes too blind to see. But then one day the truth came clearly.
You were waiting there for me.
It’s so much better to be free.
Sweet tranquility.

Like an eagle in the sky, soaring on the wings of peace.
To the highest clouds we’ll fly, on your gentle winds beneath.

And the joy I’ve found is real. In my heart I know I’m free.
Unexplainable love abounds. Sweeping happiness of destiny.

Fire in my heart, in my soul.

Eyes on the Prize


There is a place we long to be. A place we know we’re forever free.
A place prepared for you and me. And some sweet day you will see.
But now, on our own we won’t see the day. His sweet amazing mercy made the way.
We’ll see His face if we trust and obey. When the trumpet sounds the King will not delay.

So keep your eyes on the prize. Together we’ll keep hope alive. Keep your eyes on the prize.

Like the angels, we will fly. We’ll see our Savior up in the sky.
We’ll be with Him in the blink of an eye and live forever in that sweet by and by.

Keep your heart close to Jesus. He’s built a mansion for you and me.
You know His love alone will free us. And in Heaven you will see.

The road is long but the rest will be sweet. That day in Heaven all the saints we’ll meet.
For a million years we will rest these weary feet. And our lives with Jesus will be complete.

Traditional Hymn
O Lord, you know, I have no friend like you. If Heaven’s not my home, then Lord what will I do?
The angels beckon me from Heaven’s open door and I can’t feel at home in this world anymore.

HOPE

Rejoice in the days that don't seem to go your way
Cause you're building a temple fit for a king
Add the word to your ways and live it everyday
Glorifying a savior, so stand up and sing-

Suffering Perseverance to Character to Hope
There's light at the end of a dark cloudy day
Suffering Perseverance to Character to Hope
Thank God there is hope at the end, and Hope is here to stay

If something comes your way that you just cannot bare
All you have to do is remember that Jesus was there, and he said
“Sons and daughters, I know it's raining down on you,
So just stay close to me and we're gonna make it through”

Well some might say that the world just isn't fair
But it is what we make it and together we'll make it there

Belong

If everybody tried to change the world
If everybody new the secret word
Father, help me understand, cause sometimes it feels like a hopeless plan

There is another way to shine like a light
Don’t need to look around, just close your eyes and pray
Father, I wanna hear you say “I’m coming back, yes, I’m on my way”-

I don’t need another reason to believe what you say
Cause everything you’ve shown me is as clear as the day

I wanna belong to you / cause in you everything’s true
I wanna belong in your hands / cause you’ve given me another chance
I know forever you’ll be by my side
I wanna belong for the rest of my life-

Hold the Hand of a Friend

You’ve gotta laugh with your brother, cry with your sister, hold the hand of a friend.
Cos when things go wrong, when the road gets long, you know they’ll be with you ‘til the end.

So, you think the world tries to bring you down? You could be right, but you’ve gotta stand your ground.
Cos we’ve gotta make it through together. I haven’t quite lived this life too long but I can tell you what I’ve found.

I’ve found that life has its ups and downs and sometimes I’ve seen the middle ground.
But, it’s so much better with friends and family.
Cos if you don’t wanna face alone all the things you’re gonna see you’ve got to…

Situations never go your way and you’re looking for the answer, nobody has anything to say.
Don’t forget, the tough times, they never last. At the end of the same old night, you know you’ll find a brand new day.

Hold my hand and I’ll hold your hand.

The Blame

Oh- such a noble thing to do
To let yourself fall
So that I can make it through-

I don’t know if I’ll ever comprehend
How someone like me
Deserves someone like you-

I was so lost inside a world of pain
But you took me in, gave me shelter from the rain

I wanna live my life for you
I wanna do the things you do
Wanna be by your side every day-

I wanna hear the words you speak
Every single day of the week
Wanna be like you in every way-

If anything good has ever come my way, Lord you’re to blame

I tried to do it alone
But every single time, I would sink like a stone

Just a wonderer with no direction at all
Then you opened my eyes
And I finally heard your call-

Carry the Cross

God, It’s been all but lies / the way I have lived / the way I’ve lived my life
But you / even knew then / times I went through / the years that went by
I wanna show the world / that you turned my gray skies blue
I need to know / that everything I ever do / is for you-

Lord / hear my request / I lay before you / some old some new
And I know / that in your own time / you’ll do what’s best / in my life
I wanna show the world / that you turned my gray skies blue
I need to know / that everything I ever do

Lord / let me carry the cross / carry the cross for you
Carry the cross / carry the cross for you-

I can face a mountain / and I can part the seven seas
Nothing’s impossible / as long as you are here with me-

Hiding Place (Psalm 32)


Blessed is he whose sins are covered. And blessed is the person whose sins the Lord does not count against them.
Cos when I kept silent my bones wasted away through my groaning everyday, for day and night your hand was so heavy upon me.

I will confess my transgressions to the Lord. And you forgave the guilt of my sin.
I will acknowledge my iniquities to you.
I’m not gonna cover my sin anymore cos blessed is the person whose sins the Lord does not count against them.

You’re my Hiding Place.

Many are the woes of the wicked but the Lord’s love surrounds the man who trusts in Him.
Surely when the mighty waters rise, you will deliver me from my demise.
Cos blessed is the person whose sins the Lord does not count against them.

Sing Upright in Heart.
