Anointed - 'God Is All Around'
Consider the kindness of a stranger
That passes by your way
For there are ties that bind us
Together, forever
Touching the broken-hearted friend
Brings healing to the soul within
There’s evidence everywhere
Of His love, sweet love
Chorus
God is all around us
Even when we feel we’re all alone
I can hear Him whispering my name
Telling me that I’m His own
God is all around us
Even when we feel all hope is gone
God is all around
God is all around
They’re so many lessons yet to learn
And I don’t know where the road will turn
He always finds a way
To guide me, remind me
That if I should fall into the night
He will be there, a shining light
For all the world to see
With open arms for you and me
Repeat Chorus
God is all around (He’ll hear your prayers)
If you just reach out (He’s everywhere)
God is everywhere
God is all around us
When you feel all alone
Can’t you hear Him whispering your name
Telling you that you’re His own
For God is all around
God is all around

Anointed - 'Revive Us'
Ready or not
Change is comin’
Can you feel the Spirit rising in you
Has it been a while
Since you’ve felt the fire
And passion and joy anew?
Are you ready for a revelation?
We all know that there is so much more
We’re in need of His inspiration
Can’t wait another day
Got to have it right away
Chorus
Revive us again
Revive us again
Restore the joy of our salvation
Revive us again
Revive us again
Renew life within
Revive us!
Love is alive
And exciting
If we only let it take control
Drink from the fountain
It’s so inviting
It will strengthen and refresh your soul
Nothing can stop this revolution
When we’re determined to see it through
If we believe that there is one solution
You know His name is Jesus
He’s the one to free us
Repeat Chorus
Lord we need You to revive us
Let it not just begin
But let it go on and on
And never come to an end
Repeat

Caedmon's Call - 'Where I Began'
The grass looked greener on the other side
So I tried to snatch myself from Your hand
Caught a boat to anywhere but Nineveh
And, well, you know, I got spit back on dry land
Give me purity and give me continence
But oh no, not yet
Like a coin hiding in the corner
Trying not to be swept
I was trying not to be swept
Kicking off against these goads
Sure did cut up my feet
And didn't Your hands get bloody
As You washed them clean
And You washed them clean
Chorus
Here I am again, back where I began
Try as I may, I can't get away from You
And all these roads that lead me to roam
Bring me back home
Here I am again, back where I began
So You have Yourself ninety-nine
Isn't that enough for You
Still You followed me to the shadowed valley
Carried me on Your shoulders too
I've done the work of Sisyphus
Thinking that I could get over this hill
But the one thing I can't get over now
Is the force of Your will
Repeat Chorus Twice
Where I began... Where I began
Where I began

Bob Carlisle - 'Heaven'
There are moments in this life
When it's hard to carry on
When I think about my father
And all the loved ones that are gone
Friends and close relation
Somewhere on the other side
They've passed into forever
But the love has never died
Sometimes this tired old world
Starts bringing my heart down
But I've got to bear the cross
If I want to wear the crown
I often get impatient
As the time keeps dragging on
I've waded through the darkness
Now I'm ready for the dawn
I'm ready for the dawn
Chorus
I want to see Heaven
Where the faithful carry on
I want to see Heaven, Oh Lord
I want to see Heaven
Where the pain of sin is gone
In Heaven, Oh Lord
I want to see Heaven
So if I'm living every moment
As if this day was my last
I'll put my treasure where my heart is
And forget about the past
And if Jesus comes tomorrow
I'll be ready to depart
As He leads me to my mansion
I'll be following my heart
Following my heart
Repeat Chorus
I try to go the distance
But it's more than I can bear
They say there's no more crying
And no more dying there
I've held on to the promise
Whosoever will believe
Would have life that's never ending
Well I believe, I believe
Repeat Chorus

Bob Carlisle - 'Living Water'
I feel Your touch, I can feel Your heart,
As I'm lying here, alone in the dark.
I feel Your voice gently say, "Come to Me."
I long for Your love as the earth longs for the rainfall.
I'm weary - Lord, I've wandered this desert too long.
Chorus
So come, living water, flow through me like a river,
My heart's been thirsting so long.
Flood through my soul, and pour out your mercy.
Come, living water, fill me.
Lord, so many times You've called my name,
And I've turned my face the other way.
Yet before I even saw the womb, You loved me.
How can I be so blind
When I alone have created my darkness.
Forgive me, and wash me clean again.
Repeat Chorus

Bob Carlisle - 'One Man Revival'
No greater love, no lesser grace
No great distance than the one that I have made
You crave my heart and miss our quiet time alone
Have I become as hard as stone?
Chorus
I need a one-man revival
A renewing of my heart
To capture me before I stray too far
It's the one thing I cry for
And the only way I know
Is a one-man revival in my soul (heart)
I know I've turned away it seems
But You pursue me while I'm busy chasing dreams
My dreams aren't worth the sacrifice of my first love
What I should be dreaming of...
Repeat Chorus
I'm disappointed at how my perfect world should be
But if I'm gonna see a change (really gonna see a change)
There's got to be a change in me
Repeat Chorus

Carman - 'This Blood is for You'
Violently they grabbed His arms as they tightly strapped each wrist.
With the hellish looks that a strong-armed soldier whip clenched in his fist
Laced with chips of bone they beat Him hard from His shoulders to His feet,
And it sliced right through His olive skin just like razors though a sheet.
Countless times the blood splattered as each inhuman lash was given
Several times His knees gave way as His flesh just hung like ribbons.
Then surprisingly He turned His head though the words He used were few,
The soldier’s face turned pale when He said, “This blood is for you”.
Uncaringly they tossed a garment across His weakened form,
And His blood pressure fell deathly low as the crowds began to swarm.
They forced Him to carry His cross uphill as His face they punched and smacked,
As the splinters from the crisscrossed beam dug deep into His back.
Through lack of sleep and dehydration His tongue began to swell,
And weakened by His loss of blood, this Prophet, Teacher, fell.
When He did some blood splattered on a man named Simon’s shoe,
And as He bent to wipe it off, the Prophet said, “Simon, this blood is for you”.
Chorus
And this blood can save the soul, heal the sick, mend the heart,
This blood can give you access, to the very throne of God.
And it still can go the distance, from the pain to where you are,
This blood is for you, the blood of the lamb.
Then they pounded a spike through the bones in His wrist, bursting arteries and veins,
As they dropped the cross in the hole they dug, His body convulsed with pain.
Through an agony and torment that never a soul shall find,
He tilts His face toward heaven with full control of His mind.
With more love than any human heard before that time or since,
He made a statement that to this day makes the strongest skeptic wince.
He cried, “Father, please forgive them, for they know not what they do.”
And as He gave His life for those lost in sin, He was saying, “This blood is for you.”
Repeat Chorus twice

Bruce Carroll - 'I Know Where I Stand'
Just like an actor, unsure of my lines,
I lived my life for other people, one lie at a time.
Desperate for approval, always tryin' to look good,
Never sure of who I was or where I stood.
Till You came into my heart, and exposed me with Your light,
Till You touched me with Your love, and You healed me with Your life.
Chorus
I know where I stand, strong and secure,
I finally know who I am, I'm myself and I'm Yours.
Gonna stand on Your promise, I always stand tall,
Even when I fall, I know where I stand.
So good to be real now, to know and be known,
Resting in Your perfect love, my heart is finally home.
Completely forgiven of all that I've done,
Now I'm living my life for an audience of one.
Finally sure of who I am, and I'm sure of who I'm not,
The insecurity is gone, because I live on the Rock.
Repeat Chorus
I no longer live my life by what other people say,
But I only live for You, 'cause Your love will never change.
And though people let me down, You'll never turn away,
No You'll never turn away, that's why

Bruce Carroll - 'Shadow and Light'
Inside this heart there is a crowd
One is humble, another proud
One who stands on solid ground
And one whose faith is falling down
One is made of sugar and spice
Another’s virtue bows device
Ogres and angels share my heart
Sometimes the battle tears me apart
Chorus
I am shadow, I am light
I am wrong and I am right
Sometimes shining oh so bright
Sometimes fading into night
Though You see this war in me
You know all that I can be
I am precious in Your sight
You walk with me through shadow and light
I am wise, I am a fool
A servant with a yen to rule
Good intentions and selfish schemes
A saint who soars on broken wings
Noble visions and narrow eyes
Contradictions side by side
Ogres and angels share my heart
Sometimes the battle tears me apart
Repeat Chorus
There is a war that rages inside of me
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Only You can save me from myself

Clay Crosse - 'My Place Is With You'
I've walked along a hundred highways,
Some I wish I could forget.
And I've burned a lot of bridges,
But there's not one that I regret.
Cause every path I've taken,
They all have led me to knowing my place,
My place is with You.
I've had my promises forsaken
Into many empty words.
And I'm amazed and so astounded
That I won't get what I deserve.
Whatever lies I've lived for,
I have finally found the truth.
I know my place, my place is with You.
You are my treasure forever,
The one dream I've searched for.
I've not been given my tomorrow,
I'm only certain of today.
If I don't see another sunrise,
I will not have to be afraid.
I know we will be together,
when all my days are through.
I know my place, my place is with You.

Bryan Duncan - 'A Heart Like Mine'
Of all the hearts in the world
I've only one to give
So insecure, a desperate pulse
Racing to Your embrace
That You could want me and seek me
Is more than words could ever say
That You would love me and see in me
A pearl of price, thrown away
Chorus
A heart like mine
How could it be worthy that You'd find
A way to redeem this hardened clay
Twisted and broken
Oh Father God above
The wonder that You'd love a heart like mine
Your holy hands hold me still
Shaping my heart anew
Once vacant shell now reclaimed
Offers its praise to You
The one who searched till You found me
A wounded lamb whose gone astray
You stopped the world to recover me
Oh Lamb of God, the price You've paid

I make my promise to
Do the one thing I can do with abandon
I can give every heartbeat to You

Bryan Duncan - 'The Last Time I Was Here'
The last time I was here
I can remember standing tall
But looking up to face the door
I can recall each room as large
And not at all that I was small
I was a child of course
I was a child of yours
The last time I was here
How could I have known
I'd be awakened by the loss of things held dear
And that my coming back would mark the fact
I've come full circle
I've done the work I'm stronger for
I couldn't ask for more
Chorus
Stay with me awhile
God of all that's come and gone
You are the faithful Rose of Sharon
You are the morning's final dawn
I need You to pray with me awhile
Let me feel Your strength in me
Here in the cradle of my soul
Let me let all else now go
I've gone around the world
To find the precious pearl
Was here all along
The last time I was here
I thought I knew the score
I thought my world was in my control
I cursed a lot of things
I blamed my chains
My lack of strength
The simple length of time I've known
Laid now before Your throne

First Call - Forever In His Care
There was a time that I would fret
About the time that lies ahead
Until the time my Savior said
You are mine, never forget - so
Chorus
Why should I worry if it shines or rains
I'm safe and warm under His wing
I'm in no hurry for an earthly king
I'm forever in His care
Troubles come and troubles go
Can't change a thing by worrying so
I'm kissing goodbye to all my worldly woes
I'm forever in His care
He robes the meadow in flowers bright
He sees the sparrow fall
And though he leads me through the darkest night
I'm sheltered in His wings
Protected throught it all, so
Why should I worry if it shines or rains
I'm forever in His care

Larnelle Harris - 'Were It Not For Grace'
Time measured out my days
Life carried me along
In my soul I yearned to follow God
But knew I’d never be so strong
I looked hard at this world
To learn how heaven could be gained
Just to end where I began
Where human effort is all in vain
Chorus
Were it not for grace
I can tell you where I’d be
Wandering down some pointless road to nowhere
With my salvation up to me
I know how that would go
The battles I would face
Forever running but losing this race
Were it not for grace
So here is all my praise
Expressed with all my heart
Offered to the Friend who took my place
And ran a course I could not start
And when He saw in full
Just how much His would cost
He still went the final mile between me and heaven
So I would not be lost

Forever running but losing this race
Were it not for grace

Kim Hill - 'Psalm 1'
Chorus
Blessed is he who will follow the Lord,
He will not stand in the path of the sinner,
He will not sit in the seat of the scoffer,
For the law of the Lord is his delight.
In His law he meditates day and night,
He will be like a tree planted by water,
He will yield his fruit in its season,
His leaves won't die,
In whatever he does, he will prosper.
Repeat Chorus
For the lost, they are like chaff that the wind drives away,
They are not safe; at any time their life could perish.

The righteous will stand secure and last forever.

Dennis Jernigan - 'When I Fell In Love With You'
When I fell in love with You
I fell hard, what else could I do
You took the old and left me new
Then I fell in love with You
My heart broken, all hope lost
Cold and hard, ravaged, wounded, tossed
Heard Your love song from the cross
And then I fell in love with You
Chorus
When I fell in love with You
You swept me off my feet
Washed me clean and made me new
In You I was made complete
When I fell in love with You
My heart embraced what You already knew
When I fell in love with You
Sin had bound me through and through
With every failure the darkness grew
Your love fell down with crimson hue
And then I gave my heart to You
You were waiting, Your love true
Me, debating just what to do
My heart was healed when You broke through
And then I fell in love with You

Lord, I know I need to tell you the truth tonight
But everything is not alright in my life

Only once the water passes through

Rough and grainy still
Trying to reconcile this river’s chill

And feel You rushing by
I know that time brings change
And change takes time
And when the sunset comes
My prayer would be this one
That You might pick me up
And notice that I am

Sometimes raging wild
Sometimes swollen high
Never have I known this river dry
The deepest part of You
Is where I want to stay
And feel the sharpest edges wash away

It’s well past midnight
And I’m awake with questions that won’t
Wait for daylight
Separating fact from my imaginary fiction
On this shelf of my conviction
I need to find a place
Where You and I come face to face
Thomas needed
Proof that You had really risen
Undefeated
When he placed his fingers
Where the nails once broke Your skin
Did his faith finally begin?
I’ve lied if I’ve denied
The common ground I’ve shared with him
Chorus
And I, I really want to know You
I want to make each day
A different way that I can show You how
I really want to love You
Be patient with my doubt
I’m just tryin’ to figure out Your will
And I really want to know You still

Of a grown man born again
We might have been good friends
Cuz sometimes I still question, too

No more sleepin’ under stars of apathy

Nichole Nordeman - 'Why'
We rode into town the other day
Just me and my Daddy
He said I'd finally reached that age
And I could ride next to him on a horse
That of course was not quite as wide
We heard a crowd of people shouting
And so we stopped to find out why
And there was that man
That my dad said he loved
But today there was fear in his eyes
So I said "Daddy, why are they screaming?
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why is He dressed in that bright purple robe?
I'll bet that crown hurts Him more than He shows
Daddy, please can't you do something?
He looks as though He's gonna cry
You said he was stronger than all of those guys
Daddy, please tell me why
Why does everyone want him to die?"
Later that day the sky grew cloudy
And Daddy said I should go inside
Somehow he knew things would get stormy
Boy was he right
But I could not keep from wondering
If there was something he had to hide
So after he left I had to find out
I was not afraid of getting lost
So I followed the crowds
To a hill where I knew men had been killed
And I heard a voice come from the cross
And it said, "Father, why are they screaming?
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why are they casting their lots for My robe?
This crown of thorns hurts Me more than it shows
Father, please can't You do something?
I know that You must hear My cry
I thought I could handle the cross of this size
Father, remind Me why
Why does everyone want Me to die?
When will I understand why?"
"My precious Son, I hear them screaming
I'm watching the face of the enemy beaming
But soon I will clothe You in robes of My own
Jesus, this hurts Me much more than You know
But this dark hour I must do nothing
Though I've heard Your unbearable cry
The power in Your blood destroys all of the lies
Soon You'll see past their unmerciful eyes
Look there below, see the child
Trembling by her father's side
Now I can tell You why
She is why You must die"

Stacie Orrico - Don't Look At Me
Chorus
Don't look at me
If you're lookin for perfection
Don't look at me
I will only let you down
I'll do my best to point you in the right direction
But don't look at me, no no no
Don't look at me, look at Him
Sometimes I have a fear
That you will see a mirror
And get the thought that it's the main attraction
But all that you detect
Is just what I reflect
Of the object of my own affection
I'll lead you to the One I found
He'll give you everything you need
Repeat Chorus
It's understandable
To want a hero
But people can't meet all your expectations
Still some can teach you things
About the love He brings
Just know the source of life is in the Savior
I'll lead you to the One I found
He'll give you everything you need
Repeat Chorus
He's the One who lived a perfect life
He's the One who always gets it right
He's the one and only guiding light
He is everything you want to be
He's the answer to your every need
If you follow Him then you will see
He's like no other

Out of the Grey - 'Not A Chance'
You offered Your hand to me before I chanced to ask,
Found myself surrendering before the war began,
Oh, could I refuse this irresistible dance?
No, not a chance.
Tell me, to what do I owe this more than passing glance,
Is it only some kind of benign coincidence,
Oh could I refuse such a divine providence?
Chorus
Not a chance, not just a whim,
No conditions, and no what-ifs,
Not a chance, not just my luck,
Just Your choice, just Your love.
No conditions, no what-ifs,
No luck involved, more than a wish,
Could I refuse this holy dance,
No, not a chance.
I know I don’t deserve a part in this romance,
Still You turn Your gaze to me and take me as I am,
Said You knew my heart was Yours before the world began.
Repeat Chorus twice

Out of the Grey - 'Unfolding'
This small stretch of sky is my horizon
The extent of all my hopeful dreams
Yet I yearn to go beyond perceptions
And see inside some other lives unfolding
So I stretch my eyes above the rooftops
In circling the world of circumstance
I see a sea of faces, each is so significant
A multitude of hopes and dreams unfolding
Chorus
Open my eyes, open my heart
Open these hands that hold us apart
Open up a way for me to see
The grandeur of the grander scheme unfolding
So I stretch my mind and try to understand
How you could hold each soul inside Your plan
Oh Father, grant me faith to see my part in history
Touching others with Your love unfolding
Repeat Chorus

Out of the Grey - 'What Love Is'
Some would sail the seven seas and cross the great divide,
To find the perfect ecstasy to fill the heart and mind,
Body and soul, we search for meaning,
Before learning just what love is.
Some would say a sudden flame, a passion prone to passing
To other just a distant dream, never meant for them
So many souls would find their meaning,
If they first would learn what love is.
Chorus
What is love?
To lay your life down to save another.
What is love?
To give yourself to those who don’t deserve.
When mercy smoothes the furrowed brow of justice,
We will understand what love is.
Jesus calmed the stormy seas and crossed the great divide,
He’s the perfect ecstasy to fill the heart and mind,
Body and soul, the search is over,
We found Jesus, He’s what love is.
Repeat Chorus
It took love like this to make us His
Jesus came to show us just what love is.

Phillips Craig and Dean - 'And God Ran'
Almighty God
The Great I Am
Immoveable Rock
Omnipotent powerful
Awesome Lord
Victorious Warrior
Mighty Conquerer
Commanding King of Kings
And the only time
the only time I ever saw Him run
Chorus
Was when He ran to me
Took me in His arms, held my head to His chest
And said "My son's come home again".
Looked in my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice
He said "Son, do you know I still love you?"
It caught me by surprise when God ran
The day I left Home
I knew I'd broken His heart
I wondered if
Things would ever be the same
Then one night
I remembered His love for me
And down that dusty road, ahead I could see
It was the only time,
the only time I ever saw Him run
Repeat Chorus
It caught me by surprise, It dropped me to my knees
When God ran
Holy God, Righteous One
Who turned my way
Now I know, You've been waiting
For this day

Phillips Craig and Dean - 'Favorite Song of All'
He loves to hear the wind sing
As it whistles through the pines on mountain hills
And He loves to hear the raindrops
As they splash to the ground in a magic melody
He smiles in sweet approval
As the waves crash to the rocks in harmony
Creation joins in unity
To sing to Him majestic symphonies, but
Chorus
His favorite song of all
Is the song of the redeemed
When lost sinners now made clean
Lift their voices loud and strong
When those purchased by His blood
Lift to Him a song of love
There's nothing more He'd rather hear
Nor so pleasing to His ear
As His favorite song of all
And He loves to hear the angels
As they sing" Holy, Holy is the Lamb"
Heaven's choirs in harmony
Lift up praises to the Great I Am
But He lifts His hands for silence
When the wicked, saved by grace, begin to sing
And a million angels listen
As the newborn soul sings, "I've been redeemed!"
Repeat chorus
It's not just melodies and harmonies
That captures His attention
It's not just clever lines and phrases
That causes Him to stop and listen
But when any heart set free
Washed and bought by Calvary
Begins to sing
Repeat Chorus
Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lamb
Hallelujah, Hallelujah (repeat 2X)

Jonathan Pierce - 'Giver of the Gift'
We come from different places
We bring our different needs
Each one longing for the touch that sets us free
We kneel in our desperation
Who knew we’d need such mercy
At the altar of One who gave His perfect Son
Chorus
The Giver of the Gift, shine down on us now
Let us know the warmth of Your embracing love
Shower down on us a miracle that we can see
Bestower of peace, You knew that we’d believe in
The Giver of the Gift
One heart longs for some hope,
One calls out for peace
All bring their searching hearts to the One who meets their need
Each one brings their deepest dream
Different yet the same
To each heart You offer life, by the beauty of His name
Repeat Chorus
Your thoughts weren’t of Yourself
But for our empty souls
So, You took Your very heart
And breathed hope into us all

Jonathan Pierce - Healing Hands
Chorus
Pick up your heart and
Carry it to healing hands
There is no scar, no pain
He won't understand
Those broken dreams you've carried this far
Need his touch to mend
Pick up your heart and
Carry it to healing hands
What brought you here to this time, to the place
Where your own strength has found its end
And the load that you bear is too heavy to carry
Come bring it all to Him

He is gracious to hold us so tightly

Jonathan Pierce - 'One Love'
A single heart
Groaning for its own creation
Then gave itself to suffer in our place
A living sacrifice of one
Would be the price for all
Enough for every nation
Every walk of man
Enough for all our shame
Enough for all the darkness in our land
Chorus
With one love
Heaven changed the world forever
And no heart will ever be the same
One hope was born to save us
And one maker lives to make us stronger
With one love
A single soul
Pouring out itself to heaven
Can bridge the gap to reach eternity
If every one of us will join
Together, love as one, there'd be
Enough to reach the nations
To fill these city streets
Enough to make a difference
Enough to feed the hunger and the need

Enough to reach the nations

Jonathan Pierce - 'To Be a Christian'
Chorus
To be a Christian is to bear another's load
To carry what they hold
When they can't walk another day
To be a Christian is holding out a hand
To help another stand
When everyone has turned away
To be a Christian (is giving love away)
They sat there all alone
Their mother almost gone
Their hope was passing, passing with the time
Should I turn and walk away
Or hold their hand and simply say
"I may not know your name, but I can find
In my heart to share your pain
And in my prayers to speak your name
You're not alone..."
Repeat Chorus
It isn't always understood
That through our worst, God is good
But when we act with love
It says so much more
There is something said of grace
When it's written on a face
That can touch a heart it's never touched before
For to truly be like Christ
It's not a sacrifice
(To be a Christian)
He gave His life
To help another stand
When everyone has turned away
To be a Christian is giving love away
Wishing doesn't make the heart stop from hurting
And hoping doesn't stop someone from crying
But mercy falls so free
To those who will believe
Just take another look at me
Repeat Chorus to end

Peace for these wars
Going on in my mind
Circumstance holds me

Lord, can You hear me
I know You can hear me
Chorus
With all of my heart
I am calling to You
With all of my heart
I am reaching to You
I know there are millions
Searching for Your ear
Sharing their troubles
Their questions and their fear
But I know that You have
A place reserved for me
So, Lord, I come, unworthy
So shed Your grace on me
Won't You shed your grace on me

Mark Schultz - I Am The Way
You've got a secret no one knows
Locked away where no one goes
Deep inside your heart
It's tearing you apart
You hide the pain in all you do
Still the shackles binding you
Are heavier than stone
But you are not alone
Pre-Chorus
When you're down
Look around
And you'll see...I am with you
Look to Me
And you'll see
I will be...there to guide you
Take My hand
And I can
Lead you on...for you know
Chorus
I am the answer
I am the way
I am the promise
I have called your name
So you want a brand new start
Asking Me into your heart
Down on bended knee
For the world to see
And the chains around your heart
Fall away and break apart
Suddenly you see
The truth has set you free
Repeat Pre-Chorus

Surrounded by darkness you stumbled along
Knowing the road that you traveled was long
But I'm here beside you...yes, here all along
The One that will carry you on

You think no one's around
But I'll be with you both day and night
I know the good times

Look around

Michael W Smith and Steven Curtis Chapman - 'Out There'
I talk to you, you talk to me
We speak in our own language
These common truths that we believe
Are like a warm, inviting fire we gather round
But there's a danger lurking here
Inside our place of comfort
We've got to go out in the dark
Cause there's a hungry heart
That's longing just to know
That someone cares enough to go
Chorus
Out there
Someone needs a friend
Who'll walk against the wind
To a place that's strange and unfamiliar
Out there
Where all of us have been
Until love brings us in
So who will dare to go and be a friend
Cause someone really needs a friend
Out there
So we'll sing for you
You'll sing along
We'll let this song remind us
Poor, hungry beggars all are we
Invited to a feast
That none of us deserves
Filled to go to love and serve

Somewhere out beyond the sweet sound
Of amazing grace
Someone needs to see God's love
And mercy face to face

Just before I leave you
I’ll be back some day

Do not be afraid
Only watch and pray
And wait for my return

Much more that you can bear

Truth - 'Holy of Holies Medley'
('If You Could See Me Now')
My prayers have all been answered, I've finally arrived
The healing that had been delayed has now been realized
No one's in a hurry, there's no schedule to keep
We're all enjoying Jesus, just sitting at His feet
My light and temporary trials have worked out for my good
To know it brought Him glory when I misunderstood
Though we've had our sorrows, they can never compare
What Jesus has in store for us no language can share
If you could see me now, I'm walking streets of gold
If you could see me now, I'm standing tall and whole
If you could see me now, you'd know I've seen His face
If you could see me now, you know the pain's erased
You wouldn't want me to ever leave this perfect place
If you could only see me now
('Holy of Holies')
I can go into the Holy of Holies
I can kneel and make my petitions known
I can go into the Holy of Holies
And although I'm just a common man
Because of God's redemption plan
I can boldly approach God's throne
('You'll Still Be Lord of All')
Standing in Your presence Lord, I feel how small I am
My castles and my riches are as pebbles in the sand
And time won't hold the memory of what I profess to be
Unless the ones around can see the one who lives in me
In understanding this, I realize my only gain
Is giving all I have to You, to live one in the same
And when this world of earthly kingdoms crumbles into sand
You'll still be Lord of all
You'll still be Lord of all
You'll still be Lord of all
When the last kingdom crumbles, when the last time shall fall
You'll still be Lord, You'll still be Lord
('Majesty')
Majesty, worship His majesty
So exalt, lift up on high, the name of Jesus
Magnify, come glorify, Christ Jesus the King
Majesty, worship His majesty
Jesus who died, now glorified
King of all Kings
Jesus who died, now glorified
King of all Kings!

Truth - 'The Mind of Christ'
To receive when others reject, to treat each one with true respect,
To shield when others throw stones, to be with one who’s all alone,
To think and choose to see the very best,
To live like this is nothing less than to possess
Chorus
The mind of Christ, my highest goal
The Lord’s delight, the desire of my soul
The Father’s heart will always guide my life
If I will have in me the mind of Christ
To build up when others tear down, to seek the lost until they’re found,
To give grace where it’s needed most, rejecting pride when others boast,
To sacrifice my all without regret,
To live like this is nothing less than to possess.

I wish I could crash like the waves
Or turn like the autumn leaves

Chorus
But I’m such a limited creature
And my word can only paint so many pictures
But somewhere I think I read that I am
Treasured over all creation
So I know that I must try
I wish I could roll like the thunder
To leave the earth below in wonder
In effort to praise You
I wish I could fall like the summer rain
And every drop would sing Your name
In effort to praise You
In effort to praise You

Gloria, glory in the highest
Forever I will hide myself in Thee (2x)
Every breath that I breathe
Every moment in my history
Is an effort to praise You
An effort to praise You
Glory in the highest
Forever I will hide myself in Thee
Oh, Gloria
Glory in excelsis deo

Wayne Watson - 'Come Home'
I looked out across the field
At the sundown gold
Don't feel so young anymore
But sure don't feel old
And I remember you as a child
Running 'round free
You would play through the day into nighttime
Till you could not see
Chorus
Come home - come home
Night is falling but the lights are on
Come home - come home
Night is falling and it won't be long
I'll turn my head
And you'll be grown
I stood in the dark by the window
Lookin' for your lights
I sleep better knowing everybody's home
And everybody's alright
Just one of those things that happen
When you care so much
And you pray to keep from worryin'
Then you worry you ain't prayin' enough

We are all just children - even your momma and me
And everybody gone before us
From this family
And God, the good, good Father watches
Those He call His own

Come home - come home
Night is falling but the lights goes on

Since we've been together
Gonna be here forever

And your friend is broken-hearted
You try to comfort but there are too many miles in the way

And we mercifully go free of earthly ties
And we wake up in that city

Who is there and who is missing
Well we may just be surprised

Would I know You now if You walked into the room,
If You stilled the crowd, if Your light dispelled the gloom?
And if I saw Your wounds, touched Your thorn-pierced brow,
I wonder if I'd know You now?
Would I know You now if you walked into this place,
Would I cause You shame, would my games be Your disgrace?
Or would I worship You, fall upon my face?
I wonder if I'd know You now?
Or have the images I painted so distorted who You are,
That even if the world was looking, they could not see You, the real You?
Have I changed the true reflection, to fulfill my own design,
Making You want I want, not showing You forth divine, divine?
Would I miss You now, if You left and closed the door,
Would my flesh cry out, I don't need you anymore?
Or would I follow You, could I be restored?
I wonder, I wonder will I ever learn?
I wonder if I'd know You now?

CeCe Winans - 'Alabaster Box'
The room grew still
As she made her way to Jesus
She stumbled through the tears
That make her blind
She felt such pain
Some spoke in anger
Heard folks whisper
There's no place here for her kind
Still on she came
Through the shame that flushed her face
Until at last she knelt before his feet
And though she spoke no words
Everything she said was heard
As she poured her love for the master
From her box of Alabaster
Chorus
And I've come to pour
My praise on Him like oil
From Mary's Alabaster Box
Don't be angry if I wash His feet with my tears
And I dry them with my hair
You weren't there the night He found me
You did not feel what I felt
When He wrapped His loving arms around me
And you don't know the cost
Of the oil in my Alabaster box
I can't forget the way life used to be
I was a prisoner to the sin that had me bound
And I spent my days
Poured my life without measure
Into a little treasure box
I thought I found
Until the day when Jesus came to me
And healed my soul with the wonder of His touch
So now I'm giving back to Him
All the praise He's worthy of
I've been forgiven and that's why
I love Him so much
Repeat Chorus
