God

He made the night He made the day Spread the earth upon the water Made the heavens and the rain Look at the sky see its design The very same creator is the one who gave us life What is man that He’s mindful of us? We’re merely clay in his hands What am I that He loves me so much He would die All that I can say is... It’s God truly God Can you see can you hear can you touch can you feel It’s God truly God I can’t explain any other way cuz it’s God Inside us all there is a void All mankind is searching for the one who fills the soul In Him there’s hope in Him there’s life The world cries for a savior that’s right before their eyes What is man that He takes us in as His children to be his own And what are we that He wants to be our Father All that I can say is... It’s God truly God Can you see can you hear can you touch can you feel It’s God truly God I can’t explain any other way cuz it’s God Lord I praise you for your endless love Your boundless grace I stand here amazed... It’s God truly God Can you see can you hear can you touch can you feel It’s God truly God I can’t explain any other way cuz it’s God (repeat)

You’re The Voice

We have the chance to turn the pages over We can write what we want to write We gotta make ends meet before we get much older We’re all someone’s daughter We’re all someone’s son How long can we look at each other Down the barrel of a gun? (chorus) You’re the voice, try to understand it Make a noise and make it clear We’re not gonna sit in silence We’re not gonna live with fear This time, you know we all can stand together With the power to be powerful Believing, we can make it better We’re all someone’s daughter We’re all someone’s son How long can we look at each other Down the barrel of a gun? (chorus) (repeat) We’re all someone’s daughter We’re all someone’s son How long can we look at each other Down the barrel of a gun? (chorus) (repeat)

You Then Me

It’s my turn, it’s not your turn It’s my turn get outta my way It’s my turn go on and complain I’m coming through anyway Don’t ask me why I’m like this But lately I’m wonderin’ if It’ll come to pass That the last shall be first and the first shall be last Then the voice says... (chorus) Here’s the way it oughtta be You then me then you then me Well, I pray one day we’ll all agree And take it you then me then you then me Life could go you then me then you then me It’s easy, you wait then go It’s easy, so make your move It’s easy, don’t clown around Could’ve gone six times by now But no sir you gotta be a pain Or is this your way of sayin’ We should all cool down And be more like the man Who was born back in Bethlehem town? (chorus) If we could only put You first Maybe this ugly trend could one day be reversed It’s your turn, it’s not my turn It’s your turn- well let’s just say We’ll trade off- first you then me Then after that, we might agree Let’s try it, it could be good And what if one day it should Really come to pass That the last shall be first and the first shall be last Betcha we’d say: (chorus)

Abba (Father)

I’m feeling like the eagle that rises Flies above the earth and its troubles Oh yes he knows that there are valleys below But under his wings there’s a stronger power Oh Father- You are my strength On you I wait upon (chorus) You make the road rise up to me You make the sunshine warm upon my face The winds is at my back & the rain falls soft God I lift you high -- You are my Abba Running in this race to the finish line The only road for me is the narrow Not gonna stop or even look to the side When I fix my eyes on You Jesus Oh Father (Abba) - You are my strength Now more than ever (chorus) (repeat) When you’ve run too far - and the road is long Can’t walk another mile - He’s waiting Hope in Him again - He’ll renew you Then you will rise, gather up your wings and fly... (chorus) (repeat) Do you not know? Have you not heard? He gives strength to the weary To those who hope in Him They will soar like eagles

Me Without You

Like a band without a drummer That’s me without you Like a year without a summer That’s me without you Like a king without a country Like a room without a view Like an empty gun Like a fatherless son That’s me without you Like a ship without a rudder That’s me without you Like a child without its mother That’s me without you Like a story with no ending Like fool without a shoe Like a wasted feast Like faithless priest That’s me without you (chorus) Me without you A pitiful sight Me without you It ain’t never gonna feel right Like a war without an enemy That’s me without you A disease without a remedy That’s me without you Like a crime without a victim Like a sleuth without a clue Like an empty gun Like a fatherless son That’s me without you (chorus) Without you... (repeat)

That’s What Matters

I read about this guy once He seemed to own the earth As far as big shots go and people in the know... well He was definitely top of the list Anything he wanted - he’d get it Society’s dream Had lots of stuff - had lots of money But you know what’s funny? He said it all was useless Meaningless - Meaningless He said "Everything is meaningless... A chase after the wind" (chorus) Don’t wish for a better day Be glad and use the one you’re in Fear God and do exactly what He says That’s what matters All else fades like the flowers Well, he’d tried pleasure There was nothing in that He built houses & gardens & parks What good did it do Just got him more depressed Meaningless - Meaningless He said "Everything is meaningless... But this is what I learned in all my years" (chorus) Meaningless - Meaningless He said "Everything is meaningless... A chase after the wind" Don’t wish for a better day Be glad and use the one you’re in Fear God and do exactly what He says That’s what matters All else fades away Meaningful - meaningful Life holds new meaning When God becomes the center of it all I read about another man once He came to save the earth You know I got to meet Him, Jesus He revolutionized my whole entire life (chorus) (repeat)

Carry Me High

They laugh ‘cause they see I live for more than me They point their fingers, Push me nearer to the flame They say "We serve no one" "We just live to please ourselves" All men serve something... (chorus) Father, carry me high, lift me to the sky Let me be where you are Hold me, ever so closely, let me know your mercy Let me be where you are They can laugh, but let them see You are the hope in me They can point their fingers Push me nearer to the flame God, You can save me from the fire I’m Yours, even if you don’t Whatever comes I take this vow I will never bow... (chorus) I will never bow... Until you find something Worth dying for You’re not really living I will never bow... (chorus x2) Father, carry me high , lift me to the sky Let me be where you are Repeat I want to be where you are I will never bow

A Cold Heart Turns

Power thunder, lightning bolts Rushing wind, a waterfall Babies’ cry a mother’s tears Humming river, rustling leaves (chorus) He’s calling loud and clearly He’s saying "Won’t you hear me" We see Him everywhere And still we roll on by Winter’s snow, a fire’s warmth Summer’s day, a cold heart turns Peaceful place, a helping hand Kindly words, a smiling face (chorus) He was God but one of us A king who had a servant’s heart Born to die so we might live His reason was His Father’s will (chorus x2) Power thunder, lightning bolts Rushing wind, a waterfall Winter’s snow, a fire’s warmth Summer’s day, a cold heart turns

Psalm 139

You search me You know me You see my every move There’s nothing I could ever do To hide myself from You You know my thoughts, my fears & hurts My weaknesses and pride You know what I am going through And how I feel inside But even though you know You will always love me Even though You know You’ll never let me go I don’t deserve your love But You give it freely You will always love me Even though You know (repeat all) Yes, You will always love me Even though You know
