Lyrics:
ALL ABOUT YOU (written by Kenneth Cope) All about You, all about You For me, Lord, it’s all about You I may be a word on the street But You’re the talk of the town I’m just a drop in the bucket You’re the flood coming down I know You’ve said that, for You, it’s all about us And You prove it with all that You do But, for me, Lord For me, Lord, it’s all about You CHORUS: (All about You) All about You Yeah, for me, Lord, it’s all about You (All about You) Yeah, all about You Gonna tell the world all about YouI may be a light on the hill But You’re the blazing of day I’m just a piece of the puzzle You’re the Truth and the Way And it’s awkward for me to be lavished with praise When it’s You who should get Your due So from this day on I’m insisting it’s all about You REPEAT CHORUS You’re the One behind the sun and moon and starlit skies You’re the breath of all that runs and crawls and swims and flies You’re behind every tree, (behind) every mountain and sea (You hide) And You’ve managed to keep from view (what I will do) I’m gonna hold You up, gonna make a fuss Gonna tell the world all about You Gonna tell the world all about You Gonna tell the world all about You (All about You) All about You Gonna tell the world all about You (All about You) Yeah, all about You Gonna tell the world all about You We’re the reason You do what You do But for me, Lord, it’s all about You You’re the reason I do what I do ’Cause for me, Lord, it’s all about You You’re the reason I do what I do Yeah, for me, Lord, it’s all about You (All about You) So all about You Yeah, for me, Lord, it’s all about You © 2007 God Stories (BMI) FIRE OF GOD (written by Kenneth Cope) I’m beginning to feel it—so come on Eleven, twelve, thirteen—emerging anxious and aware Yearning for the burning, searching for the sign Then fourteen, fifteen, and sixteen—I’d see more than my share The times I felt His fire, I was so much more alive Seventeen, eighteen—and craving the fanning of the flame Sometimes waiting, but always more to come Then at nineteen and twenty—He sent me to labor for His name A time when we were one My will was offered up and consumed in the fire of God CHORUS: It’s a power that I can’t explain As it flows and it grows and it shapes my faith There’ve been hundreds of moments I can’t deny When I brushed against the fire, or dwelt in the fire of God Warmed by the fire, wondrous fire of God A decade of twenties—He led me to learn among the world Finding me a lady, and starting up a home And love fueled the journey—our thirties were melted into gold With children of our own The glimpse we caught of heaven’s throne was steeled in the fire of God REPEAT CHORUS Lighted words sent to purge my soul Holy feelings, impressions to mark the road There’ve been staggering signs and I’ll watch for more When I’m caught up in the fire, immersed in the fire of God I’m living for the fire Longing for the fire Swept up in the fire Can’t live without the fire It’s a power that I can’t explain As it flows and it grows and it shapes my faith There’ve been thousands of moments I won’t deny Forged in the fire… REPEAT CHORUS So filled with the fire, awesome fire of God Can you feel the fire? Come, and feel the fire of God © 2007 God Stories (BMI) BROKEN (Words by Kenneth Cope; Music by Kenneth & Eliza Cope) —inspired by Elder Jeffrey R. Holland Broken clouds give rain Broken soil grows grain Broken bread feeds man for one more day Broken storms yield light The break of day heals night Broken pride turns blindness into sight Broken souls that need His mending Broken hearts for offering Could it be that God loves broken things Broken chains set free Broken swords bring peace Broken walls make friends of you and me To break the ranks of sin To break the news of Him To put on Christ till His name feels broken in Broken souls that need His mending Broken hearts for offering I believe that God loves broken things And yet, our broken faith, our broken promises Sent love to the cross And still, that broken flesh, that broken heart of His Offers us such grace and mercy Covers us with love undeserving This broken soul that cries for mending This broken heart for offering I’m convinced that God loves broken me Praise His name—my God loves broken things So, broken cloud—Give rain And broken soil—Grow grain And broken bread—Feed man for one more day © 2004 Merge Right Music (BMI) HIS NAME IS LOVE (written by Kenneth Cope) My name is Ego—I desire to be admired And the center of attention My name is Pride—it’s true my thoughts and ways are higher Every rule needs an exception CHORUS: He leaves the fold to find me His touch reclaims, reminds me His face is hope, His name is Love My name’s Impatience—I’ve got better things to wait on Can’t it just work out the first time? My name is Anger—all this bottled-up frustration Shows in outbursts of the worse kind REPEAT CHORUS He’s writing His name on my heart Working the change from the inside Pouring out grace from the start With nothing but love My name is Condemnation—I’ve got two eyes that watch for fault And ears to catch you My name is Rumor—I’ve a tongue that runs to mischief And a heart that sees right past you REPEAT CHORUS He’s writing His name on my heart Working the change from the inside Pouring out grace from the start With nothing but love My name’s Forgetful—I get panicked in the moment Though His love’s come to astound me My name’s Unsteady—seems I’m almost touching heaven Or sin is crashing down around me REPEAT CHORUS Oh, Lord, don’t fail to find me Reclaim, reform, refine me Till my face is hope, and my name is Love My name is Weakness—My name is Fallen His name is Jesus His name is Love © 2007 God Stories (BMI) WHERE YOU ARE (written by Rich Mullins & Beaker )CHORUS: I’m talkin’ Daniel in the den of the lions Talkin’ Jonah in the belly of a whale I’m talkin’ three Hebrew children And they’re standing in the furnace, the fiery furnace But the fire didn’t burn them And the lions didn’t bite And the Lord reached down and you can be sure that Everything turned out right Oh you’ll meet the Lord in the furnace Long time ’fore you meet Him in the sky And where you are ain’t where you wish that you was ’Cause your life ain’t easy and the road is rough But where you are is where He promised to be From the ends of the world to every point of need REPEAT CHORUS Meet Him in your time of trial Meet Him in your hour of prayer You can reach out and I’ll bet You’ll find that He’s right there Where you are, however grim it may seem This is real life now—this ain’t no Hollywood dream And where you are, no matter what you may face You’re gonna find out real soon, what They mean They say REPEAT CHORUS Meet Him in your time of trial Meet Him in your hour of prayer You can reach out and I’ll bet You’ll find that He’s there And the fire won’t burn you And the lions won’t bite And the Lord will reach down and you can be sure that Everything will turn out all right Oh, you’ll meet the Lord in the furnace Long time ’fore you meet Him in the sky Then you’ll meet Him in the sky © 1991 Edward Grant, Inc. (ASCAP) / Kid Brothers of St. Frank’s Publishing (ASCAP)TELL ME (written by Kenneth Cope) Voices surround me, all set to confound me Damaging hope and fostering fear Rules and commandments ring heavy handed In my ears, loud and clear Sins, and omissions, laws and conditions And, while I feel the need to make these known Who’ll speak of heaven’s every intention To make me whole, and bring me home? CHORUS: Tell me, tell of a God that won’t slow down That will not rest till I am found Tell of His heart that won’t let go His arms that long to hold me Tell me, tell of that Love that knows my face And speaks my name Tell me Promises, favors, but never for failures So how can I ever measure up? I need a Shepherd ready for effort Who’ll spare no cost to find the lost REPEAT CHORUS Tell me, tell of a Lord that won’t slow down… Tell me, tell me all about Them Tell me I need to hear more said about Them Tell me Won’t someone else beside me tell me? Tell me Tell me, tell of Their search that won’t slow down That They won’t rest till I am found Tell of Their hearts that won’t let go Their arms that long to hold me Tell me, tell of that love that knows my face And speaks my name Tell me Tell me © 2007 God Stories (BMI) HIM, AND HIM ALONE (written by Kenneth Cope) Him, and Him alone Bowed to the ground as the weight of sins fell crushing Him alone Blood on His face when the powers of hell rushed in on Him alone Scorched with the pains of eternal fire engulfing Him alone Him, and Him alone CHORUS: How could I think it’s mine to merit Or speak of my share in it This saving work He wrought alone I’ve been a fool to believe I’d earn it Or suppose I could deserve it By words and deeds I’d call my own From this day on I know I’m saved by Him alone Him, and Him alone Scorned and abused though redeeming love would spring from Him alone The sword of God’s vengeance for broken law swung down on Him alone Hung on a cross till He cried “It’s finished”—just Him alone Him, and Him alone REPEAT CHORUS His cross and death are foolishness to those who do not know this They trust in flesh and look another way But blessed are those who place their hope in Him alone For He is mighty He alone is mighty to save I will not think it’s mine to merit Or speak of my share in it This saving work He’s wrought alone No more the fool to believe I’d earn it Or suppose I could deserve it By words and deeds I’d call my own From this day on I know I’m saved by Him alone My Lord and God I’ll look to Him, and Him alone © 2007 God Stories (BMI)
IT’S STILL YOU
(written by Kenneth Cope) Bowing in awe of You, wanting to follow You Tirelessly trying, but hopelessly flawed Failing and fretting, each fall more upsetting So near to regretting the child You made me Bankrupt and begging more time to pay what’s due But, then I learned the truth After all I can do, it’s still You, it’s still You You have come and corrected my view Though I strain in pursuit, even all I can do, it’s still You CHORUS: After all I can do, it’s still You After all I can do, it’s still You, it’s still You After all I can do, it’s still You After all—even all I can do—after all I can do, it’s still You Grateful for grace, recognizing Your face In the image You trace on this natural man Blessed metamorphosis—heaven transforming this spirit Reborn to a bright beginning Changing the heart from its dark and sinful hue It’s what You do After all I can do, it’s still You, it’s still You You’re the Vine that gives the branches their fruit There’s no hope to be holy and new without abiding in You REPEAT CHORUS God, great Father, You love the heart in its meekness You delight to give strength where there’s weakness If we’ll come to You O Lord, Jesus—bountiful, merciful Savior You delight to grant pardon and favor If we’ll trust in You Who will trust in You? After all I can do, it’s still You, it’s still You But You don’t wait till it’s all I can do From the start till we’re through it is You, Lord It’s still You REPEAT CHORUS © 2007 God Stories (BMI) SEE YOU IN THE MORNING (written by Kenneth Cope) Joker and saint A little older in body But so much older in faith When we were just children It was all fun and games Till a flaw in our bloodlines Made a home in his veins The doc reassured him he’d be fine Still he came home afraid to close his eyes at night And no coaxing could prevail Till I found these words to say I’ll see you in the morning When we rise and shine When the light of tomorrow’s sun Wakes up our eyes We’ll take up once again at dawning As if there never was a night You’ll be seeing me I’ll be seeing you In the morning And so it went For days and years of mornings But then without a warning His eyes refused to see me one morning And soon the blackness turned to storming Till it had washed away all hope for another morning He was sure only God could turn the tide So he relinquished his will to live or die And as his breath began to fade And I thought my heart would break He knew just what to say I’ll see you on that morning When I rise and shine When the light of heaven’s Son Wakes up these eyes We’ll take up once again at dawning As if there never was a night You’ll be seeing me I’ll be seeing you In the morning Look for me brother I’ll come running to you, running to you, running On that morning © 2007 God Stories (BMI) MORE (written by Kenneth Cope) More steady, more sure More trusted, more pure Some say it doesn’t matter More trained and more aware More aim to get me there I climb this far You raise the bar You want my heart CHORUS: More fierce desire To stand against the wind More blazing fire When dark is closing in More love inspired change within So there’s more and more of me to give More words to learn and know More etched upon my soul Some say it doesn’t matter More tried, more true Less me, and much more You I stretch this tall You sound the call You want my all REPEAT CHORUS You keep reaching out—You’re calling out to me for More strengthened shoulders To face the war with sin More wise and bolder To save the souls of men A more faithful soldier to the end You want more and more of me to give More and more of me to give More love, more light, more purpose, more serve with all my might I need more hope, more faith, more patience, each day I pray for more More and more of me to give More fire, more zeal, more spirit to know what’s real More courage, more joy, more, more and more of me to give More grateful, more true, more humble to trust and do You call, I hear I’ll walk the path that’s set in stone My heart is fixed on getting home And what on earth could ever matter more? More and more of me to give More © 2004 Merge Right Music (BMI) YOUR FATHER’S CHILD (written by Kenneth Cope) Strong and wise—captivating eyes Magnificent being Spirit bright, emanating light Now hid from our seeing You forget who you are You, who outshone the stars Amazing smile You are your Father’s child Son of Man, at the Lord’s right hand Anointed as Savior Power and grace, filling endless space Reduced to a manger He’d forget who He was He, who outshone the sun Yet, all the while He was His Father’s child Now there were none before or after like Him He was God with us and is God still In life and death His love for us defined Him And to do His Father’s will And so He came to save Because you are your Father’s child Here and now, when the fire goes out And it keeps you from singing When sad and gray seem to steal away All joy and all meaning When you’re broken in two When your heart says you’re through Come alive You’re still your Father’s child Find that smile And be your Father’s child © 2007 God Stories (BMI)
