Oh you are the one that sets me free… Comes and gives me life abundantly… And you know I want to repay everything… My money, my heart, and all of my being… Help me understand what I can’t see… How you came and died and rose for me… And how you’ve lived on for all of history… For in our lives you show us your glory… And I… want to rise with you … And I… see you reach for me… On you I cling above all things… Above my life, exalted may you be... Crucified, you died in place of me… Lifted High, you are Holy, Holy!! Your splendor in all creation rings… Oh be glorified in all we sing… And let every tongue say “we choose to believe” Above all powers you are reigning… And I… want to rise with you … And I… see you reach for me… On you I cling above all things… Above my life, exalted may you be... Crucified, you died in place of me… Lifted High, you are Holy, Holy!! You came to the Earth, to show us the way I place all my hope in you today We choose to believe, and that’s why we say That you are above, you love, we pray

Your eyes are the doors that know the depths of your soul. You went looking for love, and came to find it hurt more. For there were times, you didn’t see through the midst To find that love was more than this. Your heart’s like the drum, keeping the beat of your soul. When your race is done, it still remains to beat more. And there are times, you can’t feel more than this. The times, though numb, you can’t resist.. How love leads to know the truth to come to this That you are alive and well, you came to exist. You can breathe. Your hands are the love that brings the bread to your soul. They’ll keep you alive, though you must desire to live more. Oh there are times your life seems like an abyss. You’ll find, I’ll reach out and insist..

To Your Arms 04:33
Where do I go? Night has come; they’ve all gone to their homes… Tried to be a part of their world, didn’t fit in, now I’m alone… (But I will run) To your arms, my home’s in your heart, it beats in you for me. (Lord you say) Listen closely, though your heart’s heavy , you’re not without a beat. How do I know? Broken hearts beat too slow to hear so… Feels like a dream, every breath seems too short, light seems dim… (But you’ve) Come here for me, you rose up from the grave, were brave for me… (And you say) Life’s not empty, though your heart’s heavy, this breath will set you free… Why we complicate it, we will never know As our hearts and life reach the new day your love fills them to grow (and) While we’re situated with suffering we know that you’ve promised to come once again and raise us as you call out Run to my arms, your home’s in my heart, it beats in you for me. (And you say) Listen closely, though your heart’s heavy , you’re not without a beat. (And you say) You’ll come for me, you rose up from the grave, were brave for me… (And you say) Life’s not empty, though your heart’s heavy, my breath will set you free…

Photographs 04:12
In Photographs of the times as a kid you would laugh at silly things… Playing ball, riding bikes, are the times you didn’t realize How the years were passing by, and you’d grow up in a blink of an eye So, times have changed, my love’s remained, but you’ve come across some pain.. You’re confused, not the same, and now you ask yourself why.. There was no one standing by, when you fell down and remembered your innocent.. Life, every breath and day survived now… Life, whether lost or loved or blind… Brought you to know you’ll always be mine… For you looked through the photos of times… My love was by your side. (And I’ll say) Don’t give up, I care for you and I will never leave your side, Go on, make things right, make new memories that’ll fulfill your hearts yearning.. So realize, that no one can live your..

So you’ve made a call to tell me how you came to fall into a new disaster But see you were born into this crazy world in which you grew and at no fault fell even faster Say you’ve had nothing better Today we are here together Oh and I’ll never let go, no I’ll never let go, yeah you hold my heart deep with your soul And wherever you go, yeah wherever you go, just feel the wind and you will know to..

Light, precious light, shines through clouds on Sunday morning Heavenly skies, painted to remind us to believe Oh when we reach out and recover, we know You are love and You’re all over the world… New day, new life, like the green grass that is glowing Is your will, our strife, for Your love is ever flowing through.. To sing, to rejoice and laugh together We bring back your love to last forever You’ve reached for me in all the times I was suffering You’ve heard me plea at the times I had no one Oh let mercy, lift me to grace once again Recover me in your love for everyone… Darkness tries to capture all my hope has recovered. Once again you... you reach through it, make me strong to stand, To pray, and to hold ourselves together We proclaim that your love makes all things better, say..

Open your eyes and see the morning sun Breathe in the air, Oh how alive you are It's not been easy, but this brand new day's your start Go hear the birds sing, feel your beating heart Be one with theirs and fly away so far You may not see it, but there’s freedom where you are Someday you'll see, the truth in this beauty I know this world can bring you down, but love gives you mornings Sing out your sorrow, praise and offer Him All of tomorrow, all your prayers, actions. Live out your new day, and know He's alive within. Someday you'll see, the truth in His beauty I know this world can bring you down, but love gives you mornings And where you go, is where He'll be, despite your mistakes, He loves you endlessly Someday you'll see, the truth and His beauty I know this world can bring you down, but His love gives you mornings And find you can rise... you can rise… in the morning. Open up your eyes and wake… and rise… awake. You can rise. Darling, you can rise.

Grow 03:53
The world is spinning fast, faster than the years will show So if you’ve got a dream, then go fulfill it, grow. For now I see your face, it proves me how they come true. Our time is running out, I got to come and hold you. So if I don’t let go, remember this embracing. For life’s too short to know the future we are chasing. This moment is on you, you never can replace it. Let’s soar out to the moon and blow a kiss to space (and..) Soar, oh our souls are free.. Reaching out, to the Sun’s light beams.. Precious Life, you start like a seed. As love surrounds, dreams grow like a tree. And we will grow. Yeah we will grow. So carry me in your heart, follow me.. There’s freedom in a dream.. Surrendering, you triumph Though it’s all a mystery.. I’m shouting out to see you…

Sacrifice 04:04
You were betrayed… taken and condemned without sin… clothes were stripped away… but with faith in silence you remained… You were enslaved… a prisoner and mocked as king… given a crown… made of thorns and a cross from a tree… Carried away… after they inflicted all their pain… bloodshed and stains… marked the sacrifice that would remain… (For You Are…) The Lord of all the Universe… The Lord of all the Universe… The Lord of all the Universe… The Love of all the Universe… And as you carried up the cross, women mourned, Simon helped amongst them Reached the ‘Skull’, nailed to the cross, they lifted as you hung on it. (You are…) You were betrayed… but the sacrifice of love remains…

Sunset Skies 05:10
Sunset skies, Birds are flying, sometimes there’s no denying How I feel, Is love so real? Oh some skies say “I am”. From somewhere you’ve reached over the moon Cried out loud to me “I love you”. So I’ve learned all the colors come alive for a soul’s recovery And how I long to live another day to find that I’m with you The sun sets soon... so realize it’s you… I’m looking at the world and I’m lost here without you… I’m reaching to recover and there’s nothing that I wouldn’t do. My sun will set on you… I’ll embrace you my brother. Sister, I’ll care for you like mother did For we are all loved by Father, though sometimes the night hits.. From somewhere there is love reaching through.. To somewhere in the Lord’s timeless tune..
