1.Amazing Grace / My Chains Are Gone
(Traditional / Louie Giglio / Chris Tomlin)
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind, but now I see
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
My chains are gone
I’ve been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
My chains are gone
I’ve been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine

2. Untitled Hymn (Come to Jesus)
(Chris Rice)
Weak and wounded sinner
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head for love is passing by
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live!
Now your burden’s lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain
So sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live!
And like a newborn baby
Don’t be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk sometimes we fall
So fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live!
Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain
Then
cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live!
O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can’t contain your joy inside
Then dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!
And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory’s side
And fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!

3. Abide With Me / Abide With Me, ‘Tis Eventide
(Henry F. Lyte/William H. Monk/Lowrie M. Hofford/Harrison Millard)
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, oh, abide with me
Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day
Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away
Change and decay in all around I see
O Thou who changest not, abide with me
Abide with me; ’tis eventide,
And lone will be the night
If I cannot commune with thee
Nor find in thee my light.
The darkness of the world, I fear,
Would in my home abide.
O Savior, stay this night with me;
Behold, ’tis eventide.
O Savior, stay this night with me;
Behold, ’tis eventide.

4. Behold the Wounds
(David Naylor/John Pearson)
Behold the wounds in Jesus’ hands
The Marks upon His side.
Then ponder who He meant to save
When on the cross He died.
We cannot see the love of God
Which saves us from the fall,
Yet know that Christ from wood and nails
Built mansions for us all.
Behold the out-stretched hands of Christ
Our God, who came to save,
Whose love and grace redeems our souls
And lifts us from the grave.
Though bruised and battered as we stray
His loving hands caress,
He washes and annoints with oil
Then in His arms we rest.
Behold the wounds in Jesus’ hands,
Look to your Lord and live
He yearns to bless you with His love
And all your sins forgive.
Oh empty is the heart of man
When it is filled with sin.
Come open wide your broken heart
And let your Savior in!
Behold His wounded hands and feet!
Come touch and see and feel
The wounds and marks that you may know
His love for you is real.
Then as you fall to worship Him
And wash His feet in tears,
Your Savior takes you in His arms
And quiets all your fears.
Your Savior takes you in His arms
And quiets all your fears

5. Were You There
(African American Spiritual)
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to 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.
Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?
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.
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?

6. Homeward Bound
(Marta Keen Thompson)
In the quiet misty morning
When the moon has gone to bed
When the sparrows stop their singing
And the sky is clear and red
When the summer’s ceased its gleaming
When the corn is past its prime
When adventure’s lost its meaning
I’ll be homeward bound in time
Bind me not to the pasture
Chain me not to the plow
Set me free to find my calling
And I’ll return to you somehow
If you find it’s me you’re missing
If you’re hoping I’ll return
To your thoughts I’ll soon be listening
In the road I’ll stop and turn
Then the wind will set me racing
As my journey nears its end
And the path I’ll be retracing
When I’m homeward bound again
Bind me not to the pasture
Chain me not to the plow
Set me free to find my calling
And I’ll return to you somehow
In the quiet misty morning
When the moon has gone to bed
When the sparrows stop their singing
And the sky is clear and red

7. How Great Thou Art
(Stuart K. Hine/Sweedish Folk Melody)
O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works Thy Hand hath made,
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy pow’r throughout the universe displayed;
And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation,
And take me home what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim “My God, how great Thou art!”
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!

8. Part the Waters, Lord / I Need Thee Every Hour
(Charles F. Brown/Annie S. Hawkes/Robert Lowry)
When I think I’m going under
Part the waters, Lord
When I feel the waves around me
Calm the sea
When I cry for help
Oh, hear me, Lord
And hold our Your hand
Touch my life
Still the raging storm in me
I need thee every hour
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like
Thine can peace afford.
I need thee every hour
Stay thou nearby
Temptations lose their power
When thou art nigh
I need Thee, O I need thee
Every hour I need thee
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to thee
I need thee every hour
In joy or pain
Come quickly and abide
Or life is vain
I need Thee, O I need thee
Every hour I need thee
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to thee

9. In Humility, Our Savior
(Mabel Jones Gabbott/Rowland H. Prichard)
In humility, our Savior,
Grant thy Spirit here, we pray,
As we bless the bread and water
In thy name this holy day.
Let me not forget, O Savior,
Thou didst bleed and die for me
When thy heart was stilled and broken
On the cross at Calvary.
Fill our hearts with sweet forgiving;
Teach us tolerance and love.
Let our prayers find access to thee
In thy holy courts above.
Then, when we have proven worthy
Of thy sacrifice divine,
Lord, let us regain they presence;
Let thy glory round us shine

10. Fairest Lord Jesus (Beautiful Savior)
(Selesian Folk Song/Text anonymous)
Fair is the sunshine,
Fairer the moonlight,
And all the stars in heaven above.
Jesus shines brighter,
Jesus shines purer,
He brings to all the world His light
Fair are the meadows,
Fairer are the woodlands,
Robed in flowers of blooming spring;
Jesus is fairer,
Jesus is purer;
He makes our sorrowing spirit sing.
Beautiful Savior,
Lord of the nations,
Son of God and Son of Man!
Thee will I honor,
Praise, and give glory;
Give praise and glory evermore

11. It Is Well With My Soul
(Horatio Spafford/Philip P. Bliss)
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
But, Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait
The sky, not the grave, is our goal
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul!
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
And, Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

12. Softly and Tenderly
(Will L. Thompson)
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me;
See, on the portals he’s waiting and watching,
Watching for you and for me.
Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading,
Pleading for you and for me?
Why should we linger and heed not his mercies,
Mercies for you and for me?
Come home, come home;
Ye who are weary come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!
O for the wonderful love he has promised,
Promised for you and for me!
Though we have sinned, he has mercy and pardon,
Pardon for you and for me.
Come home, come home;
Ye who are weary come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!

Lyrics:
HOW GREAT THE WISDOM AND THE LOVE
Words by Eliza R. Snow
Music by Thomas McIntyre
Arranged by Sam Cardon
How great the wisdom and the love
That filled the courts on high
And sent the Savior from above
To suffer, bleed, and die!
His precious blood He freely spilt;
His life He freely gave,
A sinless sacrifice for guilt,
A dying world to save.
He marked the path and led the way,
And ev’ry point defines
To light and life and endless day
Where God’s full presence shines.
How great, how glorious, how complete,
Redemption’s grand design,
Where justice, love, and mercy meet
In harmony divine!

COME, THOU FOUNT OF EVERY BLESSING
Words by Robert Robinson
Music by John Wyeth
Arranged by Sam Cardon
Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above;
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of thy redeeming love.
Here I raise my Ebenezer,
Hither by thy help I’m come;
And I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
CHORUS:
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for thy courts above.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wand’ring from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed his precious blood.
CHORUS
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be;
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wand’ring heart to Thee.

HE’LL FIND A WAY
Words and music by Julia Audretch
Arranged by Tyler Castleton
When life gets crazy
and you’ve had enough,
And the more you search for some kind of meaning,
The more you feel you’re out of luck;
When your mind tries to reason
and nothing adds up,
Lay it all down,
Take a good look around,
CHORUS:
His love can be seen in all directions
His infinite peace longs to hold you every second
From the thorns in His crown
To the sunset colored clouds
He’ll find a way to say I love you.
When tears won’t relieve you,
When your heart feels numb;
And your mind keeps replaying the painful,
thoughtless things you’ve done;
And you’re starting to wonder
just who you’ve become;
Believe you’ll make it,
Give your worry up,
Let Him take it.
CHORUS
Feel his love
with each breath you’re breathing,
It’s as sure
as your heart beating.
CHORUS
He’ll find a way to say I love you
He’ll find a way.

MY SHEPHERD WILL SUPPLY MY NEED
by Isaac Watts
Arranged by Mack Wilberg
My Shepherd will supply my need:
Jehovah is his Name;
In pastures fresh he makes me feed,
beside the living stream.
He brings my wand’ring spirit back,
when I forsake His ways,
and leads me for His mercy’s sake,
in paths of truth and grace.
When I walk through the shades of death,
thy presence is my stay;
One word of thy supporting breath
drives all my fears away.
Thy hand, in sight of all my foes,
doth still my table spread;
My cup with blessings overflows,
thine oil anoints my head.
The sure provisions of my God
attend me all my days;
O may thy house be mine abode,
and all my work be praise!
There would I find a settled rest
while others go and come,
no more a stranger, nor a guest;
but like a child at home.

How Can I Keep From Singing?
by Robert Wadsworth Lowry
Arranged by Rob Gardner
My life flows on in endless song;
Above Earth’s lamentation,
I catch the sweet, tho’ far-off hymn
That hails a new creation;
Through all the tumult and the strife,
I hear the music ringing;
It finds an echo in my soul—
How can I keep from singing?
What tho’ my joys and comfort die?
The Lord my Saviour liveth;
What tho’ the darkness gather round?
Songs in the night He giveth;
No storm can shake my inmost calm,
While to that refuge clinging;
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
How can I keep from singing?
I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin;
I see the blue above it;
And day by day this pathway smooths,
Since first I learned to love it:
The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart,
A fountain ever springing;
All things are mine since I am His—
How can I keep from singing?

I’M TRYING TO BE LIKE JESUS
Words and music by Janice Kapp Perry
Arranged by Tyler Castleton
I’m trying to be like Jesus;
I’m following in His ways,
I’m trying to love as He did,
in all that I do and say.
At times I am tempted to make a wrong choice,
But I try to listen as the still small voice whispers,
CHORUS:
“Love one another as Jesus loves you.
Try to show kindness in all that you do.
Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,
For these are the things Jesus taught.”
I’m trying to love my neighbor;
I’m learning to serve my friends,
I watch for the day of gladness
When Jesus will come again.
I try to remember the lessons He taught,
Then the Holy Spirit enters into my thoughts, saying:

A POOR WAYFARING MAN OF GRIEF
Words by James Montgomery
Music by George Coles
Arranged by Rob Gardner
A poor wayfaring Man of grief
Hath often crossed me on my way,
Who sued so humbly for relief
That I could never answer nay.
I had not pow’r to ask his name,
Whereto he went, or whence he came;
Yet there was something in his eye
That won my love; I knew not why.
Stript, wounded, beaten nigh to death,
I found him by the highway side.
I roused his pulse, brought back his breath,
Revived his spirit, and supplied
Wine, oil, refreshment, he was healed.
I had myself a wound concealed,
But from that hour forgot the smart,
And peace bound up my broken heart.
In pris’n I saw him next, condemned
To meet a traitor’s doom at morn.
The tide of lying tongues I stemmed,
And honored him ‘mid shame and scorn.
My friendship’s utmost zeal to try,
He asked if I for him would die.
The flesh was weak; my blood ran chill,
But my free spirit cried, “I will!”
Then in a moment to my view
The stranger started from disguise.
The tokens in his hands I knew;
The Savior stood before mine eyes.
He spake, and my poor name he named,
“Of me thou hast not been ashamed.
These deeds shall thy memorial be;
Fear not, thou didst them unto me.”

I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES
Words by Samuel Medley
Music by Lewis D. Edwards
Arranged by Dave Zabriskie
I know that my Redeemer lives.
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, He lives, who once was dead.
He lives, my ever-living Head.
He lives to bless me with His love.
He lives to plead for me above.
He lives my hungry soul to feed.
He lives to bless in time of need
He lives to grant me rich supply.
He lives to guide me with his eye.
He lives to comfort me when faint.
He lives to hear my soul’s complaint.
He lives to silence all my fears.
He lives to wipe away my tears.
He lives to calm my troubled heart.
He lives all blessings to impart.
He lives, my kind, wise heav’nly Friend.
He lives and loves me to the end.
He lives, and while he lives, I’ll sing.
He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King.
He lives and grants me daily breath.
He lives, and I shall conquer death.
He lives my mansion to prepare.
He lives to bring me safely there.
He lives! All glory to His name!
He lives, my Savior, still the same.
Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives:
“I know that my Redeemer lives!”
He lives! All glory to His name!
He lives, my Savior, still the same.
Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives:
“I know He lives!”

AMAZING GRACE
by John Newton
Arranged by Sam Cardon
Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound!)
That sav’d a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine:
But God, who call’d me here below,
Will be for ever mine.

COME HARVEST TIME
Words and music by Lowell Alexander
Arranged by Tyler Castleton
Planted by God
In a field without worth
We are but seeds in His eyes
So He nurtures with grace
And His hands work the earth
That His fruit may be sanctified
Come harvest time
CHORUS:
Come harvest time
What thanksgiving we will show
When the Plowman brings freedom
From the earth here below
Come harvest time
Oh what joy will be known
When He gathers the souls
Of the seeds He has sown
So when doubt dries the land
Or the cold, war winds blow
When the floods of indifference rise
Oh the roots that faith grew
Will keep us strong
‘Til our last sunset leaves the sky
Come harvest time

JESUS, ONCE OF HUMBLE BIRTH
Words by Parley P. Pratt
Music by Giacomo Meyerbeer
Arranged by Barlow Bradford
Jesus, once of humble birth,
Now in glory comes to earth.
Once He suffered grief and pain;
Now He comes on earth to reign.
Now He comes on earth to reign.
Once a meek and lowly Lamb,
Now the Lord, the great I Am.
Once upon the cross He bowed;
Now His chariot is the cloud.
Now His chariot is the cloud.
Once forsaken, left alone,
Now exalted to a throne.
Once all things He meekly bore,
But He now will bear no more.
But He now will bear no more.
Now in glory He appears.
Once rejected by His own,
Now their King He shall be known.
Now their King He shall be known.
Jesus, Jesus, of humble birth.

O DIVINE REDEEMER

Ah! turn me not away,
receive me, tho’ unworthy,
Ah! turn me not away,
receive me, tho’ unworthy!
Hear Thou my cry, hear Thou my cry,
Behold, Lord, my distress!
Answer me from Thy throne,
haste Thee, Lord, to mine aid,
Thy pity show in my deep anguish!
Thy pity show in my deep anguish!
Let not the sword of vengeance smite me,
tho’ righteous Thine anger, O Lord!
Shield me in danger, O regard me!
On Thee, Lord, alone will I call.
O, divine Redeemer!
O, divine Redeemer!
I pray Thee, grant me pardon,
and remember not,
remember not my sins!
Forgive me,
O, divine Redeemer!
I pray Thee, grant me pardon,
and remember not, remember not,
O Lord, my sins!
Night gathers round my soul;
fearful, I cry to Thee;
Come to mine aid, O Lord!
Haste Thee, Lord, haste to help me!
Hear my cry, hear my cry!
Save me, Lord, in Thy mercy;
hear my cry, hear my cry!
Come and save me, O Lord!
O, divine Redeemer!
O, divine Redeemer!
I pray Thee, grant me pardon,

I Will Be Ready Then
From the album Beautiful Dawn
Time…races on
The world spins so fast
All I see is past
When…will it end
Is there more to climb
Am I out of time
Help my lamp light
Keep burning bright and pure
I will remain true to the faith
That when He comes again
I will be ready then
Chorus:
I will be ready then
When He comes again
I will be ready then
When He comes again
I’ll be ready then
Take…one day at a time
Keep my heart set close
To what matters most
Give…every chance that I get
Set the world aside
Leave it all behind
Help my lamp light
Keep burning bright and pure
I will remain true to the faith
That when He comes again
I will be ready then
Chorus
Bright is the new day,
The sun is rising.
Help me to find someone in need,
Who’s crying for help, please send me…
Chorus
Beautiful Dawn
From the album Beautiful Dawn
Take me to the breaking of a beautiful dawn
Take me to the place where we come from
Take me to the end so I can see the start
There’s only one way to mend a broken heart
Take me to the place where I don’t feel so small
Take me where I don’t need to stand so tall
Take me to the edge so I can fall apart
There’s only one way to mend a broken heart
Take me where love isn’t up for sale
Take me where our hearts are not so frail
Take me where the fire still owns its spark
There’s only one way to mend a broken heart
Teach me how to see when I close my eyes
Teach me to forgive and to apologize
Show me how to love in the darkest dark
There’s only one way to mend a broken heart
Take me where the angels are close at hand
Take me where the ocean meets the sky and the land
Show me to the wisdom of the evening star
There’s only one way to mend a broken heart
Take me to the place where I feel no shame
Take me where the courage doesn’t need a name
Learning how to cry is the hardest part
There’s only one way to mend a broken heart
Hello Sunshine
From the album Beautiful Dawn
Hello sunshine it’s been too long
since I felt your warmth upon my face
And how much have I missed
‘Cause I’ve been focused on everything wrong
This road just felt so long
I forgot to lift my head to see you
Chorus
Oh my lovely shining for me
Let my eyes see all the beauty
Oh-oh
Hello sunshine since the moment
That I felt your beautiful warmth
I knew that I’d do anything
To keep this feeling of you
My heart comes alive
Oh who could add a day to this life
By drowning every dark sky
Chorus
Fill my dark skies
Make me see the light
Life is fine so bring in the sunshine
Oh-oh
Whoa-oh let in the sunshine
Whoa-oh let in the sunshine
Whoa-oh let in the sunshine
Let in the sunshine
We All Need Saving
From the album Beautiful Dawn
Come on, come on
You have got to move on
This is not the you I know
This isn’t real
It’s just all you can feel
And that’s the way that feelings go
And whether or not it’s right or wrong you’ll do what you will do
Chorus:
When the cloud in the sky starts to pour
And your life is just a storm you’re braving
Don’t tell yourself you can’t lean on someone else
Cause we all need saving sometimes
Say what you will but the time that we fill
While we’re on the earth
Should not be alone
We were meant to be known
You make me what I’m worth
But I can’t keep you from yourself you’ll do what you will do
Chorus
I don’t know why it has to be this way and
I don’t know the cure
But please believe someone else has felt this before
Chorus
Come Thou Fount
From the album Beautiful Dawn
Come, Thou Fount of ev’ry blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love
Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by Thy help I’m Come
And I Hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
Prone to leave the God I Love
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wand’ring from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
Prone to leave the God I Love
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, as a fetter
Bind my wand’ring heart to Thee
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
Prone to leave the God I Love
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
I Belong
From the album Beautiful Dawn
Not angels, nor demons, no power on earth or heaven
Not distance, nor danger, no trouble now or ever
Nothing can take me from your great love
Forever this truth remains
Chorus
I belong, I belong to you
I belong, I belong to you
Not hardship, nor hunger, no pain or depth of sorrow
Not weakness, nor failure, no broken dream or promise
Nothing can take me from your great love
Forever this truth remains
Chorus
Forever and forever, I belong
Nothing can take me from your great love
Forever this truth remains
Chorus
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer to thee
E’en though it be a cross
That raiseth me
Still all my song shall be
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer to thee
Though like the wanderer
The sun gone down
Darkness be over me
My rest a stone
Yet in my dreams I’d be
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer to thee
There let the way appear
Steps unto heaven
All that thou sendest me
In mercy giv’n
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer to thee
All I Need
From the album Beautiful Dawn
When the day is done
And there’s no one else around
While I’m lying here in bed
You’re in my heart, You’re in my head
You’re all I need, You’re all I need
There are a million voices
Calling out my name
But You’re the One I want to hear
So make the others disappear
You’re all I need, You’re all I need
Chorus
You are all I need when I’m surrounded
You are all I need if I’m by myself
You fill me when I’m empty
There is nothing else
You’re all I need
When the morning comes
And Your mercy is renewed
There’s a fire in my bones
I’m not afraid to go alone
You’re all I need, You’re all I need
The sun on my face
I hear You whisper loud
You’re still the God that opens seas
Every flower, even me
You’re all I need, You’re all I need
Chorus
I’m drawn to everything that You do
Nothing compares with You
Chorus
My Heavenly Father Loves Me
From the album Beautiful Dawn
Whenever I hear the song of a bird
Or look at the blue, blue sky
Whenever I feel the rain on my face
Or the wind as it rushes by
Whenever I touch a velvet rose
Or walk by a lilac tree
I’m glad that I live in this beautiful world
Heavenly Father created for me
He gave me my eyes that I might see
The color of butterfly wings
He gave me my ears that I might hear
The magical sound of things
He gave me my life, my mind, my heart
I thank him reverently
For all his creations of which I’m apart
Yes, I know Heavenly Father loves me
He gave my life, my mind, my heart
I thank him reverently
For all his creations of which I’m apart
Yes, I know Heavenly Father loves me
Echoes
From the album Beautiful Dawn
Long ago and faraway
You were held in another place
And you were whispered sweet words of peace
And you were wrapped in the Arms of Mercy
Soon you won’t remember those days
Soon you won’t recall His voice or His face
But baby, sometimes if you’re still…
Chorus:
You will hear echoes
Heavenly echoes
Reminding you of another time and place
Like waking from an old familiar dream
You will hear echoes
You may have feelings hard to understand
Like you’re a stranger in a foreign land
When your homesick spirit feels alone
Remember, remember this was not your first home
Chorus
There may be times it seems
Heaven never happened
But baby, there will be angels
Waiting to send you
Chorus
For All You’ve Done
From the album Beautiful Dawn
Oh cleanser of the mess I’ve made
Upon the hill our places trade
Stretched on a cross Your body crushed
By human hands You formed from dust
Chorus
How wonderful Your mercy is
How awesome are Your ways
I come, I come
To worship You
For all You’ve done
Oh cleanser of the mess I’ve made
Your boundless love for me portrayed
With patience for my learning curve
By holding back what I deserve
Chorus
Oh cleanser of the mess I’ve made
With everything at Your feet laid
I watch as all my cares erode
And from my soul these words explode
Chorus

Lyrics:
“If I Only Had Today”
Hilary Weeks
It seems like I’ve watched a million sunsets
And stared at a thousand full moons
Sometimes it feels like I’ve been here forever
And sometimes it all feels brand new
I could never count the heartbeats
From the day I was born until now
But not a single one goes unnoticed
By Him who breathes life in me somehow
But if there were no more tomorrows
If I knew that I could not stay
I know how I’d spend every moment
If I only had today
I’d hold you and listen
And I’d let the dishes sit in the sink
I’d tell you I love you over and over
And for once I’d just let the phone ring
Then I’d remind you of forever
And how our love would never change
If I only had today
I’d wake up before the sun did
And I’d watch as you quietly sleep
I’d pray for time to move slowly
Knowing the moment won’t keep
All the gifts that Heaven has given
Every blessing that’s come my way
Wouldn’t mean anything without you
So if I only had today
I’d hold you and listen
I’d memorize every detail of your face
I’d tell you I love you over and over
I wouldn’t let excuses get in the way
Then I’d remind you of forever
And how our love would never change
If I only had today
There’s no time like the present
Life doesn’t come with any guarantees
The sun will set and time won’t wait
So while I have today
I’ll hold you and listen
I’ll let the dishes sit in the sink
I’ll tell you I love you over and over
For once I’ll just let the phone ring
And I’ll remind you of forever
And how our love will never change
Because I have today
“Faultless”
Hilary Weeks
When the sun sets and another day is over
I think about the person I wanna be
When I hold up a mirror to my life
Sometimes I don’t find who I was hoping to see
I made mistakes today and I’ll probably make mistakes tomorrow
I couldn’t save myself no matter how I beg or borrow
I’m gonna need His grace
On that day
On the day of grace
Through the Sinless One
My sins will be washed away
And I’ll stand worthy
Only because He stands by me
With mercy
And love without end
He will lift me
So I’ll never fall again
Then He’ll present me
Faultless
Faultless before God
If my sins were drops of water
And tried to hold them with my hands closed tight
Some would slip through right past my fingers
I couldn’t catch them all no matter how hard I tried
But there are hands that have my name forever written on them
The price was paid and not a single soul will be forgotten
As we receive His grace
On that day
On the day of grace
Through the Sinless One
My sins will be washed away
And I’ll stand worthy
Only because He stands by me
With mercy
And love without end
He will lift me
So I’ll never fall again
Then He’ll present me
Faultless
Faultless before God
“Just Let Me Cry”
Hilary Weeks
I believe that everything happens for a reason
We’re not just tossed by the wind or left in the hands of fate
But sometimes life sends a storm that’s unexpected
And we’re forced to face our deepest pain
When I feel the heartache begin to pull me under
I dig my heels in deep and I fight to keep my ground
Still at times the hurt inside grows stronger
And there’s nothing I can do but let it out
Just let me cry
I know it’s hard to see
But the pain I feel
Isn’t going away today
Just let me cry
Till every tear has fallen
Don’t ask when and don’t ask why
Just let me cry
When I agreed that God could put this heart inside me
I understood that there would be a chance that it would break
But I know He knows exactly how I’m feeling
And I know in time He’ll take the pain away
But for now
Just let me cry
I know it’s hard to see
But the pain I feel
Isn’t going away today
Just let me cry
Till every tear has fallen
Don’t ask when and don’t ask why
Just let me cry
I have felt joy the kind that makes my heart want to sing
And so my tears are not a surrender
I know I feel that way again
But for now
For this moment
Just let me cry
I know it’s hard to see
But the pain I feel
Isn’t going away today
Just let me cry
Till every tear has fallen
Don’t ask when and don’t ask why
Just let me cry
I believe that everything happens for a reason
“Tender Behind the Mercy”
Hilary Weeks
A candle sits in darkness
Until there burns a flame
And a river dry and barren
Must wait for the gift of rain
Like the river I have thirsted
He has filled my cup
Instead of just one tiny flame
He gives me the sun
He’s the tender behind the mercy
The unconditional in love
And when I need forgiveness
He’s the Redeeming in Son
More and more I see
He’s the tender behind the mercy
I’ve had moments in the spotlight
And days I’ve wished to hide
In sunshine or in the shadows
He is by my side
CHORUS Repeat
More than once I’ve added to the pain he bore in Gethsemane
Yet gentle as a morning breeze His love reaches out to me
CHORUS Repeat
Reaching
(Carolyn Arends)
There’s a time I can recall
Four years old and three feet tall
Trying to touch the stars and the cookie jar
And both were out of reach
And later on in my high school
It seemed to me a little cruel
How the right words to say always seemed to stay
Just out of reach
Well I should not have thought it strange
That growing causes growing pains
‘Cause the more we learn the more we know
We don’t know anything
But still it seems a tragic fate
Living with this quiet ache
The constant strain for what remains
Just out of reach
We are reaching for the future
We are reaching for the past
And no matter what we have we reach for more
We are desperate to discover
What is just beyond our grasp
But maybe that’s what heaven is for
There are times I can’t forget
Dressed up in my Sunday best
Trying not to squirm and to maybe learn
A bit of what the teacher would teach
And later lying in the dark
I felt a stirring in my heart
And though I longed to see what could not be seen
I still believed
I guess I shouldn’t think it odd
Until we see the face of God
The yearning deep within us tells us
There’s more to come
So when we taste of the divine
It leaves us hungry every time
For one more taste of what awaits
When heaven’s gates are reached
Repeat chorus
I believe that’s what heaven is for
There’s a time I can recall
Four years old and three feet tall
Trying to touch the stars and the cookie jar
And both were out of reach
“He Loves Me”
Hilary Weeks
Don’t it seem sometimes like the world is falling
And you’re standing underneath
You’ll never get out from under it
Or at least that’s how it feels
With a load so heavy and the days so long
You can barely breathe
And the only thing that keeps you standing
Is getting on your knees
When I need that burden lifted
When my strength is gone
There is one thing
That keeps me holding on
Deeper than my heart can hide
Stronger than I feel inside
More than I realize
He loves me
Steady as the day goes by
Longer than the reach of time
Enough to give His life
He loves me
I have felt it in the darkest night
When He stayed with me till dawn
On the days when I’m too weak to walk
He carries me along
Above the noise and the clatter down deep in my soul
In the middle of my pain
He tells me I can make it
And He promises to stay
In a world where nothing’s certain
I can count on this
There is no love
No love truer than His
CHORUS
Repeat
“Now”
Hilary Weeks
I was blind
Walking in the dark
Until I saw your light
You opened my eyes and lit the path before me
Clearly
And now I see
A heart of stone
Guarded by pain
Until I found your love
You broke down the walls, rebuilt the trust inside me
Patiently
And now I feel
Abandoned and lost
Unsure of my worth
Until I felt your grace
On Calvary’s cross you gave your life to save me
Willingly
And now I know
“Take Me There”
Hilary Weeks
There is a place where every tear drop that falls is counted
And every piece of the heart that’s been broken is put back together
A place where healing begins
And the hurting ends
Take me there
I’m ready to go
Cause I can’t carry this by myself anymore
Wrap me up
Hold me tight in Mercy’s arms
Let your sweet, sweet peace
Pour over me
And heal my soul
On the wings of this prayer
Take me there
There is a place where the past doesn’t cast any shadows
Where love fills the corners of the heart and little by little
Dreams dare to be dreamed again
Only broken know the way there
Cause they’ve walked Redemptions road
CHORUS Repeat
I need your name
I need your grace
Oh to lead to that place
Please take me to the place
Where you can heal my heart
Where you can heal my soul
Where you can heal me
CHORUS Repeat
“It Would Never Be Enough”
Hilary Weeks, Tyler Castleton, Lowell Alexander
If pen and paper could script God’s glory
And speak of His wondrous love
Every chapter ever written would never be enough
If words and music could fill the Heavens
And sing of His grace from above
Every chorus ever offered would never be enough
If all of our praises for ever more
Were each grain of sand on ten thousand shores
Alleluia
Alleluia
I would never be enough
If all the ages were but an instant
To worship and lift Him up
Countless lifetimes of endless moments
Would never be enough
CHORUS Repeat

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lyrics:
Go Climb That Mountain
(Jenny Phillips/Tyler Castleton)
Every time you cast your eyes on that mountain
It seems the peaks reach further than the skies
But that mountain was made for your feet
And there’s one who has always believed
In your journey … so
Go climb that mountain
Go climb that mountain
If you start with willing feet
You can conquer anything
Set your feet on that road and go
Go climb that mountain
Trust that God has sent you here with the power
To conquer things that seem beyond your reach
It’s not going to move on its own
But you don’t have to do it alone
He is with you … so
Chorus
Every Voice
(Jenny Phillips/Tyler Castleton)
Everybody clap your hands together
Everybody stand upon your feet
Everybody make your voices heard
There’s a secret we can’t keep
Everybody clap your hands together
Everybody stand upon your feet
Everybody make your voices heard
There’s a secret we can’t keep
As one voice we stand together
Across the world every light is seen
Sisters unite and share His joy
Shout together
Every voice
We are mothers and we’re daughters
We are sisters and we’re friends
We are children of a Father
Who created us like Him
We are living in the cities
We’re on the isles of the sea
We are spread across the nations
But we’re all in unity
As one voice we stand together
Across the light every light is seen
Sisters unite and share His joy
Shout together
Every voice
Free
(Jenny Phillips/Tyler Castleton)
Far beyond the burden
Of this overgrown path
There are clear and open fields
Of green, green grass
How long has it been
Since you ran in those fields of green
And like a child, let go
And felt your hair fly in the breeze
This is how God
Designed our lives to be
We’re free, we’re free
To live, to live
With joy, with life
With love for Him
So raise your hands
Up to the skies
We choose to let His light inside
We’re free
When your hands hang down
And your skies are dark
When the wonder and joy
Have left your heart
Go and find that place
Where the world is open wide
Where you look into the sky
And let your deepest dreams run wild
We were meant to feel
His goodness in this life
Chorus
The Robe
(Jenny Phillips/Tyler Castleton)
Faithful woman
Reached through the crowd
And her hands gently touched your robe
And you through your grace made her whole
Now my broken body
Is fading fast
And like her I’m searching through the crowds
Desperate to find you somehow
And I’m reaching for that robe
I know that you can make me whole
But if it’s not meant to be that way
If I can’t stay
Then just wrap me in that robe
And hold me when I go
If you call me
Home to you
Please help those who love me understand
We are still held together by your hands
I’m reaching for that robe
I know that you can make me whole
But maybe in a different way
If I can’t stay
Then just wrap me in that robe
And hold me when I go
Hold her when she goes
Hold her when she goes
Sailing Home to You
(Jenny Phillips)
I cast my eyes on this ocean
So far from home
I set my sails wide open
But I can’t see the end
Of the horizon
Oh, Captain
Lead me through this dark and misty night
Back to the harbor that is filled with endless light
Breath into these sails today
And bid me swiftly on our way
Oh, make this ocean blue
As I bring this ship
Home to you
This little ship
On a great big journey
I sail so far
And pray that you’ll be near me
Calm the storms I face
And lead me by my faith
Oh, Captain
Lead me through this dark and misty night
Back to the harbor that is filled with endless light
Breath into these sails today
And bid me swiftly on our way
Oh, make this ocean blue
As I bring this ship
Home to you
The Flute
(Jenny Phillips/Tyler Castleton)
This flute sits alone
Silent without you
Unused
Will you pick me up
Place your hands upon the keys
And just breathe
Just breathe
I remember the melody
You used to play in me
We used to sing in harmony
And nothing is more sweet
Than the music that you bring
Play your songs again in me
Holiness from your lips
Fills me with your hope
Every note
Give me voice to sing
Fill this fragile flute
With your truth
With your truth
I remember the melody
You used to play in me
We used to sing in harmony
And nothing is more sweet
Than the music that you bring
Play your songs again in me
Just breath in me
Play the keys
Breath in me
Play the keys
Let your melody flow in me
The Shepherd & His Road
(Jenny Phillips/James Stevens)
My eyes were set
On the journey ahead
Oceans to cross
And mountains to climb
When a quiet road caught my eye
Something bid me follow
So I set my feet upon that road
And it led me to still waters
And rolling hills of green
A Shepherd on a hillside
That was reaching out to me
And a prayer welled up inside my soul
Slow me down today
Help me not forget this place
So I can come to know
This Shepherd and His Road
You Make Us Wanna Sing
(Jenny Phillips)
We hear the rhythm of the rain
We feel the swelling of the waves
All things calling your name
And we cannot contain
Our praise today
You make us want to sing
(And dance and love and live)
You make us want to sing
(And hope and laugh and dream)
We hear your song in everything
And you just make us want to sing
We hear the rustling of the trees
We move with the waving wheat
All things under your name
And we cannot contain
Our praise today
You make us want to sing
(And dance and love and live)
You make us want to sing
(And hope and laugh and dream)
We hear your song in everything
And you just make us want to sing
You just make us want to sing
We just want to sing, hear us sing
We will spend our lives in praising you
Hear us sing
Hear us sing
Hears us sing
You make us want to sing
(And dance and love and live)
You make us want to sing
(And hope and laugh and dream)
We hear your song in everything
And you just make us want to sing
Repeat Chorus 3 more times
Light Giver
(Jenny Phillips)
Your finger lights the dawn
You pour your light upon
Every rock and every tree
Until we feel you in all things
Rays of heaven through the clouds
Lift our eyes up from the ground
It’s through your light we see
You’re a lamp unto our feet
Light giver
We thank you for your light
We feel you in our lives
Light giver
In the lightning and the stars
The flame inside our hearts
The fire’s blaze the sunset hue
The burning sun and silver moon
Light giver
All light testifies of you
A million torches in the sky
Watch over us each night
You shine upon the seas
Your light stretches endlessly
And through the power of your glow
You give all things the chance to grow
We live through you
Chorus
Mercy River
(Jenny Phillips)
There’s a place where water’s pure
Mercy river
With banks of green and silver trees
Mercy river
Oh all ye that are broken
This river’s always open to you
Bend low and drink it in
Let go and feel the water wash your skin
This river is a gift
To all who enter in
The water sings a song of peace
Mercy river
With healing in it’s harmony
Mercy river
Chorus
Instrumental Bridge
Chorus
Fly Away
(Jenny Phillips/James Stevens)
You dream
You hope to be so many things
But every star feels out of reach to you
You pray
To be something more today
Just hold on to a spark of faith
And believe
You have wings
Put there by God
And He holds dreams for you
Bigger than you thought
Maybe His plans are just more grand
Maybe He’s waiting for you to take His hand
And have the faith
To fly away
(fly away, fly away, fly high)
If you try
If you turn your head up to the sky
There’s no doubt that you will find
Your strength
Chorus
(fly away, fly away, fly high)
Go Climb That Mountain
(Jenny Phillips/Tyler Castleton)
Every time you cast your eyes on that mountain
It seems the peaks reach further than the skies
But that mountain was made for your feet
And there’s one who has always believed
In your journey … so
Go climb that mountain
Go climb that mountain
If you start with willing feet
You can conquer anything
Set your feet on that road and go
Go climb that mountain
Trust that God has sent you here with the power
To conquer things that seem beyond your reach
It’s not going to move on its own
But you don’t have to do it alone
He is with you … so
Chorus
Every Voice
(Jenny Phillips/Tyler Castleton)
Everybody clap your hands together
Everybody stand upon your feet
Everybody make your voices heard
There’s a secret we can’t keep
Everybody clap your hands together
Everybody stand upon your feet
Everybody make your voices heard
There’s a secret we can’t keep
As one voice we stand together
Across the world every light is seen
Sisters unite and share His joy
Shout together
Every voice
We are mothers and we’re daughters
We are sisters and we’re friends
We are children of a Father
Who created us like Him
We are living in the cities
We’re on the isles of the sea
We are spread across the nations
But we’re all in unity
As one voice we stand together
Across the light every light is seen
Sister unite and share His joy
Shout together
Every voice

Lyrics:
“Closer”
I see you in the stars at night
The way they’re always shining
Giving off their light and
I know who you are but I
Want to know you better
Better than I do
Wanna run to your side, want to understand
Wanna know what it’s like to touch your hand
So take me
Closer to your heart
Closer to your soul
You’re the only one I want to get to know
You know that
I don’t care how far I have to go
If I get closer, closer
Closer to your heart
Tell me what I need to do
I would brave the desert
Any kind of weather
I’ll give up the world for you
Follow where you lead me
Anywhere you are
I’m surrounded by grace when you’re next to me
And there’s no other place that I’d rather be
Chorus
Every single day
From now until forever
I pray that every step would take me
Closer, closer
Chorus
“Every Single Tear”
You feel insignificant
A whisper in the wind
Sometimes you think nobody knows your name
But there’s Somebody watching over you
And he knows everything you’re going through
He sees every single tear
He feels everything you’re feeling
Wants to hold you close and dry your eyes
Oh your heart is what he hears
When the world just hears you crying
No matter what the pain
He cares about every single tear
Overwhelmed by circumstances
Out of your control
And hope can be the hardest thing to find
When you’re like a heart without a home
You don’t have to face this hurt alone
Chorus
If God adores the lilies of the field
And cares for every sparrow in the sky
How much more is he aware
Of your sorrow and despair
How much does he care about your life
Chorus
“If I Lose My Way”
Have you been here before?
Do you know the road I’m walking?
Have you been out here
When that cold north wind blows?
Can you promise me I’m gonna get to where I’m going?
I’ll trust you now like I’ve trusted You before
But if I lose my way will You come find me?
If I forget who I am will You remind me?
It’s a long, long road
And I’m not gonna make it on my own
Every time I try to make it through without You
If I lose my way, I stumble and I fall
Will You be my strength through the valley and the shadow?
Will You be there to answer when I call?
Chorus
I’ve known dark nights
But there were stars
I’ve seen stormy days
But the sun was never far away
I’ve known loneliness and pain
But I’ve felt the peace of heaven
And the love of Your embrace
And if I lose my way
You will come find me
If I forget who I am
You will remind me
It’s a long, long road
And I don’t have to make it on my own.
And if we lose our way
He will come find us
If we forget who we are
He will remind us
It’s a long, long road
And we don’t have to make it on our own
Chorus
“Inside of Me”
You feel insignificant
A whisper in the wind
Sometimes you think nobody knows your name
But there’s Somebody watching over you
And he knows everything you’re going through
He sees every single tear
He feels everything you’re feeling
Wants to hold you close and dry your eyes
Oh your heart is what he hears
When the world just hears you crying
No matter what the pain
He cares about every single tear
Overwhelmed by circumstances
Out of your control
And hope can be the hardest thing to find
When you’re like a heart without a home
You don’t have to face this hurt alone
Chorus
If God adores the lilies of the field
And cares for every sparrow in the sky
How much more is he aware
Of your sorrow and despair
How much does he care about your life
Chorus
“Time”
Time is a tickin’
Are you listenin’
When you find out what you’re missin’
You’ll be wishin’
That you would’ve taken
Time is a wasting
Are you waiting
To find that yours is taken
You’ll awaken
When you’re running out of time
Time is a moving
Are you using
Your time or are you choosin’
To be losing
The precious gift of time
It went so fast
But you thought it would last
And I wonder when you’ll see that
Your time’s run out
It’s time
To make the best of time
Just trust and you will find
There’s something you can do
To make the best of time
You gotta understand
When you reach out your hand
Someone’s reaching out for you
Just leave your fears behind
It’s time
Why are you waiting
Hesitating
To change your situation
Stop delaying
Don’t live your whole life blind
He is your best friend
So remember when
Your life seemed like a whirlwind
He was waiting
Forever by your side
It goes so fast You think it’s gonna last
But I wonder when you’ll see
That the time is now
Chorus
You can never live your life over
There’s no crying on anyone’s shoulder
How long can you walk the line
No more faces to hide behind
You gotta just trust and believe it
Put your faith in what you can’t see yet
You know it’s not too late
He’s guiding you along the way
Chorus
“Over My Head”
I tried to figure it out
Time and time again and time again
I guess there’s just some things I’ll never understand
‘Cause Your ways aren’t our ways
But deep down in my soul
Down in my soul
There is one thing I know that I know
I’m in over my head
Right where I wanna be
I’m so lost within your love
The love that always covers me
So high, so deep, so wide
A strong and cleansing tide
My soul has found a place to rest
I’m in over my head
I’ve been holding on
Now I’m letting go, just letting go
Gonna let your love carry me away
I don’t know where I’m going
But I’m surrounded by the truth
And I can feel the current pulling me
Deeper and deeper into you
Chorus (2x)
You see me for who I am
You did reach out your hand
You made me understand
That your love has always covered me
“Love Will Find You There”
No one left to fool
Every wall you’ve built is gone
Don’t know what to do
To get off the path you’re on
You are questioning the very truths
You’ve believed in all along
Looking back on how it used to be
You wonder what went wrong
Deep inside your heart there is a prayer
That love will find you there
Living with the pain from the choices you have
made
Knowing how to change
But believing it’s too late
Ev’ry chance you take convinces you
That you don’t know who you are
But a voice inside is telling you
You’ve never gone too far
Whispering the promise of a prayer
That love will find you there
There’s a broker heart that’s healing
There’s a life that has been changed
There are answers to the prayer that you have
prayed
When you’re sure your soul can’t make it one
more day
Love will find you there and light your way
One who knows your heart
And sees what you can’t see
Has been there from the start
And believes in what you’ll be
He will shine a light through ev’ry darkest fear
you’ll ever know
His arms are reaching out to you through the
ones who love you so
He will hear your heart’s unspoken prayer
That love will find you there
Love will find you there
“I Believe”
I’ve been let down
And I’ve had my share of doubt
I’ve gone the rounds
Trying to figure it out
I’m filled with questions
Searching for my place
I was reaching to find me
The answer was right inside me
And it blows me away
I believe
in the power I feel
It’s changing my heart
I know that it’s real
I’m finding myself, I know who I am
And what I can be
Cause I believe
I fell the world
watching my every move
It seems my worth
is something that I have to prove
Don’t try and tell me
How to live my life
Cuz I got a higher vision
It’s my own life I’m livin’
And I’m gonna fly
Cause
Chorus
Cause I believe
In the power within us
We’ve got to believe
Chorus
“Testify to Love”
Every color of the rainbow
All the voices of the wind
Every dream that reaches out
Reaches out to find where Love began
Every word of every story
Every star in every sky
Every corner of creation
Live to testify
Chorus:
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to Love
I’ll be a witness in the silences when words are not enough
With every breath I take
I will give thanks to God above
For as long as I shall live
I will testify to Love
From the mountains to the valleys
From the rivers to the sea
Every hand that reaches out
Every hand that reaches out to offer peace
Every simple act of mercy
Every step to kingdom come
All the hope in every heart will speak what Love has done
Chorus
Repeat Chorus
“Lift Me Up”
Every now and then I lose my way
I wander off the path
And I need Someone to find me
When I think the pain is here to stay
And I might not make it back
You remind me
I think it’s one of those mysteries
We’re not meant to figure out
You’ll be there when I need You most
I have no doubt
Even when my thoughts are far from You
Even when I wander from the truth
You are always there beside me
Everytime I try and walk alone
Thinking I can make it on my own
And I fall when I begin
You’re there to lift me up again
It always happens right out of the blue
When I’m in my darkest hour
And it’s feeling like forever
Something always makes me think of You
And I can feel Your power more than ever
I think it’s one of those mysteries
We’re not meant to figure out
You’ll be there when I need You most
I have no doubt
Chorus
Even when I’m barely hanging on
I am weightless in Your love
And my fear is gone
Chorus
“What His Love is For”
You say the world is cold and gray
Your eyes are brave but your confidence is slippin’ away
I see shadows
Move across your face
And I wish I could save you
Take you from this place
Beyond the ache you feel right now
There’s one who feels it more
So open up and let it go
That’s what His love is for
That’s what his love is for
You’re convinced you’ve got to carry this all on your own
It’s so hard for me to see you try and do this alone
Right here, right now
Oh can’t you feel
That He’s close, that He’s waiting
He can help you and He will
Chorus
Nothing you can do will change His love for you
Whatever it is — He’s gonna be there for you
“You Melt the Madness”
Some days it feels like I am walking through a storm
A strong wind blowing at my heart
I long for shelter only You can give me, Lord
You are all I need cause
You’re the Prince of Peace
You melt the madness
You calm the fear inside me
When the world is spinning out of control
You stop the struggle
Lord, it’s Your love that brings sweet rest to my sould
And my heart knows
You melt the madness
You melt the madness
It seems this crazy world is never gonna change
So, Lord, I want You to change me
And in the chaos I’ll be calling out Your name
Won’t You set me free
With Your serenity?
Chorus
Come what may
No matter what I face
I’ll be still, and know that You are God
Chorus
“Deeper Still”
Here I am in this familiar place again
Standing on the shore of my complacency
Ankle deep in love I was once swimming in
Shallowness has taken over me
But the current pulls the sand
And moves my stubborn feet
From the dryness of the land
To where the waves pound over me
Take me deep enough where I can see
The bottom of Your heart
Deep enough that I can know Your will
Take me deep enough to know that we will never be apart
When I get there take me
Deeper still
Take me through the wonders of Your faithfulness
Help me see the depth of my own need
Lead me to the water where Your mercy is
For You and You alone can set me free
I am covered by Your grace
Far away from the shore
As You’re taking me to places i have never been before
Chorus
I want to drown in the water
I want to drown in Your truth
Take me all the way under
Where I have to trust in You
Chorus Here I am in this familiar place again
Standing on the shore of my complacency
Ankle deep in love I was once swimming in
Shallowness has taken over me
But the current pulls the sand
And moves my stubborn feet
From the dryness of the land
To where the waves pound over me
Take me deep enough where I can see
The bottom of Your heart
Deep enough that I can know Your will
Take me deep enough to know that we will never be apart
When I get there take me
Deeper still
Take me through the wonders of Your faithfulness
Help me see the depth of my own need
Lead me to the water where Your mercy is
For You and You alone can set me free
I am covered by Your grace
Far away from the shore
As You’re taking me to places i have never been before
Chorus
I want to drown in the water
I want to drown in Your truth
Take me all the way under
Where I have to trust in You
Chorus
“Come Thou Fount”
Come, Thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above.
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of Thy redeeming love.
Here I raise my Ebenezer
Here by Thy great help I’ve come
And I hope, by Thy good pleasure,
Safely to arrive at home.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
Wandering from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed His precious blood.
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be.
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above.
“For the Love of a Woman”
For the love of a woman a man unlocks his heart
And reveals all the secrets it holds
And the love of a woman will find his better part
When he gives her the key to his soul
He will listen to her dreams
He will ask her what she needs
He will help her build the life she wants to live
He will hold her when she cries
With a love that never dies
All these things he will give
For the love of a woman
For the love of a woman a man will sacrifice
While he waits for a moment of grace
With the love of a woman a man will pay the price
For the trust that he sees in her face
He will open any door
Leave the life he knew before
To convince her that he’s all she’ll ever need
And when he’s afraid to start
He will step into the dark
‘Cause he knows she’ll give his eyes the power to see
With the love of a woman
And he promises to help her dreams come true
No there’s nothing in this world that he won’t do
Though he’s not a work of art
He will try with all his heart
To become the man she knows that he can be
With the love of a woman
The love of a woman
He will give his life
For the love of a woman
