My conversation is leading nowhere And we talk of God but still I don′t share So many times that I just never saw the chance
It′s like me to never see When it came, when it went Now it′s gone away It′s so like me to never see When it came, when it went Now it′s gone away
The phone rings with news that he′s gone Just the time I shared my heart was prepared and another soul was won So much truth to tell, I am so glad I saw the chance
It′s like me to never see When it came, when it went Now it′s gone away It′s so like me to never see When it came, when it went Now it′s gone away Sometimes I still never see when perfect opportunities come my way Would my care increase if I truly believed that a life could be saved
It′s like me to never see When it came, when it went Now it′s gone away It′s so like me to never see When it came, when it went Now it′s gone away
It all starts here with my disgrace I give you my life then I run in haste In this false life something needs to give
Tell me a reason why this isn′t treason Tell me, tell me I′m wrong I swear I′m back but then it turns out it′s only a season So tell me, tell me I′m wrong
With my two lips I will praise your name Then I turn around and only curse and blame I give in, strength is thin, adding to my shame
Tell me a reason why this isn′t treason Tell me, tell me I′m wrong I swear I′m back but then it turns out it′s only a season So tell me, tell me I′m wrong
Your blood it covered all my sin You changed a traitor into kin In this false life something needs to give
Tell me a reason why this isn′t treason Tell me, tell me I′m wrong I swear I′m back but then it turns out it′s only a season So tell me, tell me I′m wrong.
I′m finding myself at a loss for words And the funny thing is, it′s okay The last thing I need is to be heard But to hear what You would say
CHORUS: Word of God speak Would you pour down like rain? Washing my eyes to see Your majesty To be still and know That You′re in this place Please let me stay and rest In Your holiness Word of God speak
I′m finding myself in the midst of You Beyond the music, beyond the noise All that I need, is to be with You And in the quiet hear Your voice
Have you ever seen a man stumble and fallen all due to his pride I don′t want to be another one fallen due to my pride
Woah
Take my pride away, pride away Take my pride away, pride away Take my pride away
Lord keep me only focused on You Make me a humble man Don′t ever let me take the credit For all that you have done
Woah
Take my pride away, pride away Take my pride away, pride away Take my pride away
Away
Standing here amidst this point of definition Pushing for position as I battle opposition Am I on a mission or is it all in vain Do you notice the difference or is it all the same And who do I blame when my vision gets blurry I Get in a hurry frustrated and feeling fury Faith is enduring to stand the test of time Answers are plain we hard to define But pull from divine when problems arise But my pride denies and my stand never survies In every one of our lives in every single day We need to lay down our pride as God takes it away
On a plane somewhere again I take my place in line just like every other time I slide into my window seat She was sitting there One seat over so I said "Hello, how are you today?"
With my smile I could see the hope within her eyes And I knew that something′s different today
[CHORUS:] Though everything′s the same inside there′s something real A faith which causes me to change. (But what′s different now) A spark is gleaming in my eye like diamond stars that fill the sky I think a smile says it all A smile says it all
The conversation presses on As miles pass below, she said I have to let you know You seem so different to me There is a joy inside The love of God is all I know from which this could originate
With one smile I could see, the faith we share inside And I know that something′s different today
[BRIDGE:] I see what a smile can say about me I know that words are not always what speak Sometimes it′s not what I say That the world around me seems to understand
When I wonder through the desert And I′m longing for my home All my dreams have gone a-stray When I′m stranded in the valley And I′m tired and all alone It seams like I′ve lost my way
I go running to your mountain Where you mercy sets me free
You are my strong tower A shelter over me Beautiful and mighty Everlasting king You are my strong tower Fortress when I′m weak Your name is true and holy And your face is all I see
In the middle of my darkness In the midst of all my fear Your refuge and my hope When the storm of life is raging And the thunders all I hear You speak sofly to my soul
I go running to your mountain Where you mercy sets me free
You are my strong tower A shelter over me Beautiful and mighty Everlasting king You are my strong tower Fortress when I′m weak Your name is true and holy And your face is all I see And your face is all I see Yeah... your face is all I see
I go running to your mountain Where you mercy sets me free
You are my strong tower A shelter over me Beautiful and mighty Everlasting king You are my strong tower Fortress when I′m weak Your name is true and holy (Your name is true and holy) You are my strong tower A shelter over me Beautiful and mighty Everlasting king You are my strong tower Fortress when I′m weak Your name is true and holy And your face is all I see
Another year has come and gone but nothing changed I′ve wasted another year doing the same old things I want to break out of this and turn my life around
I′m going to make a vow to repent an turn to you I′m crying out to you now as I make my new year′s vow I′ll tell you I love you and I′ll honor you somehow Hear my promise to you in this new years vow I give you all of me You′ll be all of my life and I′ll never think twice to do all that you have for me In my new years vow
Lord I′ll do my best to do, all that I say I′m not perfect but I know, that′s OK If I stumble you won′t condemn my shame
I′m going to make a vow to repent an turn to you I′m crying out to you now as I make my new years vow I′ll tell you I love you and I′ll honor you somehow Hear my promise to you in this new year vow I give you all of me You′ll be all of my life and I′ll never think twice to do all that you have for me In my new year′s vow
It′s a new year of this year is different From the other ones [Repeat 3x]
I′m crying out to you now as I make my new year′s vow I′ll tell you I love you and I′ll honor you somehow Hear my promise to you in this new years vow I give you all of me You′ll be all of my life and I′ll never think twice to do all that you have for me In my new years vow
Can you feel the pains in life? Wrapped around you like they′re chains Restricting all your dreams Do you wonder if there is a way?
A way to set you free Set you free
[CHORUS:] So tell me all your dreams Tell me all your fears and what you′re longing for the most It′s not another way that′ll end up the same for it′s under my control
Do you feel the winds of change Soon this weight will fall away And take you to a place Only found through these winds of change
A breeze that′s new and free New and free
I′ll be the one who you can cry to The one who will give you wings I will give wings
[BRIDGE:] Someday we′ll sail away Mounted up on wings like eagles We will run and will not fade away
Lying here, in this pit that life′s pushed me down I don′t know, just how long I can take or when I might break I′m in needing so someone, please show me the truth
This need is real in my soul I feel the love You shared that′s why I can′t say no again My thoughts are confused for my sins Your abused My heart it screams, to open up and let You in
In my mind, I′m still fighting to understand Nothing′s free, but what You offer me, You give so freely, though it cost You Your life and inside, You show me the truth
This need is real in my soul I feel the love You shared that′s why I can′t say no again My thoughts are confused for my sins Your abused My heart it screams, to open up and let You in You know I try to do it. To be a self made man
I tried to place it all upon my back again But this crushing weight was well beneath the skin Panicking for the light, an inner struggle I fight But then I realized that You could be the only way
This need is real in my soul I feel the love You shared that′s why I can′t say no again My thoughts are confused for my sins Your abused My heart it screams, to open up and let You in
My decision can not be put off again I see the right choice but my heart is filled with dread It all seems backwards in my head, my head
I know it seems too wrong to be right This way is so much harder to fight But in the end I know it is true This way is better, it′s better for you
Choose a little pain and gain a life with joy Accepting pleasure now will earn a life of pain It all seems backwards in my head, my head
I know it seems too wrong to be right This way is so much harder to fight But in the end I know it is true This way is better It′s better for you, for you
Sometimes I wonder why it′s this way When it′s done the burden is gone This discomfort will be taken away As soon as it′s over, it′s over for me
I know it seems too wrong to be right This way is so much harder to fight But in the end I know it is true This way is better It′s better for you, for you
I′ve been hiding, hiding for so long right behind my digital mask I′ve been trying to be someone I′m not All these perfectly fake people push us to insane ideals They′re nothing more than counterfeit images
That push me away, to bleed out the pain Don′t you dare to make another move
[CHORUS:] Put the knife away that′s not what anybody needs There′s a better way than everything now that you see Stop comparing who you are to who you want to be Let′s step out beyond the surface
Don′t give in to everything the world around tells you to be Open up your mind release yourself Stop the lying stop comparing who you are to what you see Never letting fear hold back the change
And push you away, to bleed out the pain Don′t you dare to make another move
Many things in life are hard for me Many things can pull us down I don′t understand why I do what I do How could I take my eyes off you After all You′ve done for me And after all You′ve done for me
It′s by Your grace and love I am saved It′s by Your grace and love You′ve forgiven me And by that love and grace I′m amazed It′s by Your grace and love I am free I am free, I am free, I am free
And it′s by grace and love that I am free I′ll live with You eternally I thank you Lord that I am free I thank You Lord for loving me I thank You Lord for dying upon the tree of Calvary I thank You Lord for loving me I thank You Lord for dying for me
Because it′s by grace and love I am saved It′s by Your grace and love You′ve forgiven me And by that love and grace, I′m amazed It′s by Your grace and love I am free I am free, I am free, I am free
Many things in life are hard for me Many things can pull us down But by grace and love You′ve forgiven me And by grace and love we are free
Do you feel the tensions rise Do you know why we always fight To be better, better than you And you better than me
I am not what you see, oh no Not much more than a slave I wish to be I am not what you see Not much more a slave I should be Nothing more, a slave I will be
How could I ever think to be more than the one who created me I watched him do all that he said, his words were "Be a servant to all"
I am not what you see, oh no Not much more than a slave I wish to be I am not what you see Not much more a slave I should be Nothing more, a slave I will be
Only one deserves this exaltation Only one deserves this elevation But even He, He laid it down to serve on bended knee
I am not what you see, oh no Not much more than a slave I wish to be I am not what you see Not much more a slave I should be Nothing more, a slave I will be
I thought I had it all under control I thought my fate was still in my hands All of my plans were firmly set By the words that I say
I forgot how quickly things can change Now my vision can not be the same
[CHORUS:] My life is not what I thought I′m not where I planned to be Though something′s gone There′s nothing wrong with my changing world Though something′s gone There′s nothing wrong with my changing world
I need to let go of my destiny I need to trust in things unseen I believe in having faith Though I yield my control
I forgot how quickly things can change Now my vision can not be the same
[BRIDGE:] I′m embracing all of my fears I am watching them turn to delight The very fears which were gripping my mind Are now the hands shaping and sculpting my dreams
I′m looking down into the eyes of hopelessness They′re crying out to me I see the pain it′s so much more than youth should know It tears me apart What can I do to change what I see This vicious cycle must come to an end
[CHORUS:] Can′t you see, we′re crushing the hearts of the innocent We′re teaching them to fail And how it breaks me to see how we′re living and punishing the ones that need us to care To see them hurting Feels like knuckles to the back of my head
Where have the days gone that a promise was forever Families stuck together
We wonder why their generation struggles to get by There′s no one to help what can I do to change what I see This vicious cycle must come to an end
Where were you lastnight when the party was going on Where were you when we all went down to the bar It seems you have changed from us all It seems you have changed
You want to know the diffrence between us you want to know why these things have changed You′ve got to know the one who lives in me He lives in me, in me
Only 7 days ago I let go of my life, yes I gave it all I let go of all I used to do, and gave it all away
You want to know the diffrence between us you want to know why these things have changed You′ve got to know the one who lives in me He lives in me, in me
He lives in me, In me he lives
You want to know the diffrence between us you want to know why these things have changed You′ve got to know the one who lives in me He lives in me, in me
Why do you run why do you hide oh don′t you know I just, just want to be with you
I′m looking down from above as you watch TV Wondering why, Oh you′re ignoring me Do you remember, remember when I came to you And you loved me And I′m waiting for you And I′m waiting for you
Why do you run why do you hide Oh don′t you know I Just, just want to be with you, to be with you Why do you run why do you hide Oh don′t you know I Just, just want to be with you, to be with you
Whatever happend to the love, the love you had for me When you first came to me And don′t you know I died, I died so I could be with you forever And I′m waiting for you And I′m waiting for you
Why do you run why do you hide Oh don′t you know I Just, just want to be with you, to be with you Why do you run why do you hide Oh don′t you know I Just, just want to be with you, to be with you
Find a place of solitude, and I′ll speak to you as you pray to me Don′t you know I′m waiting here, waiting for you to read and hear my words I′m waiting here missing the time the times we shared oh, please come to me
So why do you run why do you hide Oh don′t you know I Just, just want to be with you, to be with you Why do you run why do you hide Oh don′t you know I Just, just want to be with you, to be with you
Tell me something I don′t already know I know that you can′t stand these things I′m preaching in the streets But how can I contain the truth I hold inside With all the hurting people that I see so I don′t mind Putting up with you, and all the things you say I′m not about to stop or even change my ways
[CHORUS:] There′s nothing you can say That will take me away from this life There′s nothing you can do To shut me up when I′m speaking the truth
Into the bridge and ending last line: (to shut me up, to shut me out when I′m speaking the truth)
You may not like all I have to say But you can′t prove that everything is filled with empty words I know my life and inside how I′ve changed A testimony to the truth I speak, so I don′t mind Putting up with you, and all the things you say I′m not about to stop or even change my ways
I have fallen to my knees As I sing a lullaby of pain I′m feeling broken in my melody As I sing to help the tears go away
Then I remember the pledge you made to me
[CHORUS:] I know you′re always there To hear my every prayer inside I′m clinging to the promise of a lifetime I hear the words you say To never walk away from me and leave behind The promise of a lifetime
Will you help me fall apart Pick me up, take me in your arms Find my way back from the storm And you show me how to grow Through the change
I still remember the pledge you made to me
[BRIDGE:] I am holding on to the hope I have inside With you I will stay through every day Putting my understanding aside
He′s driving down a road to nowhere The moon reflects off his spotless car Speeding away from all he′s known To greener grass on the other side
[CHORUS:] He′s a million dollar man He′s got everything he wanted But now what he wants is what he had But he threw it all away For a life filled with cars and rings and everything that money can bring
Now everything is not what he thought As guilt reaches in for all of his wrong The profit is worthless when you′re alone The grass isn′t greener on this lonely side
Icy chills round your heart A heart that′s made of stone It seems like Life is out to get you To destroy what you want I know that, that you blame me for all that you go through It could be, so different if you would just let it go
You′re all alone Running out of ways to Hold on to hope And it always slips away You′re all alone But you don′t have to Pretend to cope There is a brighter way
If you would change your perspective You′d see that it is true Life is not always what you want Sometimes it′s hard to bear I′d be with you, and help you in all that you go through I love you, let Me change your heart by coming in
You′re all alone Running out of ways to Hold on to hope And it always slips away You′re all alone But you don′t have to Pretend to cope There is a brighter way
You ask me why I need this faith I tell you now it To be set free from all your pain You must accept these words I say I need your focus just this day Let me reveal to you a friend He He is the Christ and to Him I say
I know that You are the only way To be saved from my infirmity You shed Your blood You gave Your love away Oh all to cover me
I tell you now that He is the way Jesus You ransomed my frailty Yes I found I know He is the truth The truth the life and the way The way
I know that You are the only way To be saved from my infirmity You shed Your blood You gave Your love away Oh all to cover me
I cry out to You With the love that fills my heart I give my life to You In faith I won
Oh now won He It He is the truth the life and the way The way, the way, the way To be saved
I know that You are the only way To be saved from my infirmity You shed Your blood You gave Your love away Oh all to cover me
I cry out to You With the love that fills my heart I give my life to You In faith I won I know it
Staring at a blank white wall and its white washed face Not knowing why I had to choose this way I discern I was wrong in my way Looking for peace in another, another domain
And I realize it is true I seek you, I seek you And I realize it is true I seek you, I seek you
And I reach out and I touch you and I know I need you to reach out and to touch me and I know I know I need your touch
Not knowing why I ever retreated from your amrs A mistake I made Now Oh Lord I feel your warm embrace, contentment Fills my soul, as joy lights my face
And I realize it is true I seek you, I seek you And I realize it is true I seek you, I seek you
And I reach out and I touch you and I know I need you to reach out and to touch me and I know I know I need your touch
(whisper) You look into the sky and see his arms of love reaching out for you his arms of love and grace and you know you need him, you need his touch
and I need your, I need you.....
(rap) I was lost but now im found.....
And I reach out and I touch you and I know I need you to reach out and to touch me and I know I know I need your touch
It feels like your life′s crashing down all around you Let me ask if it′s really so bad Look at the world in it′s suffering Can you honestly tell me that no one else could understand All the hurting inside
Why can′t you see that freedom is sometimes simply another perspective away Who could you be if your lens was changed for a moment, Would you still be the same
A young child looks through a great stained glass window Watching the people go by Everyone seems to be wearing a red coat His mother sees jackets in white Now he can′t understand why does she see it this way
Why can′t you see that freedom is sometimes simply another perspective away Who could you be if your lens was changed for a moment, Would you still be the same
Yesterday, you really couldn′t see By changing your angle a new world would be Revealed to your once blinded eyes by moving a few degrees
Why can′t you see that freedom is sometimes simply another perspective away Who could you be if your lens was changed for a moment, Would you still be the same
Empty reasons for my past Excuses do not hold I′m struck with my affliction An inner perfect storm Why didn′t someone warn me To save me from my self The pain is self inflicted The decisions were my own
Now listen to history
[CHORUS:] There′s so much I could say There′s so much that I′ve learned don′t make my mistake There′s no time to delay Take my hand and learn from my heartache
Take a look into the past see all the things I′ve tried Looking for a truth inside but only finding pain
See these deep and painful scars, cutting to the bone Do you want to look like me? With a broken, empty life
[BRIDGE:] Some things you may never understand But knowledge from lessons not your own Can save you from the unknown which may stop your fall
A young girl walks into her room and doesn′t like what she sees In her reflection there, she′s not what she wants to be
She criest out, she cries out
The frustration of this life are filling her head How could such a simple think have a grip so intense
She criest out, she cries out I want to be like the moive stars and models on the screen She wants to fly away from this She wants to fly away from this, but she does not know how to Fly away from this, she wants to fly away
She tries just to be what she′s not but she′s destroying herself She starves herself This compulsion must end
She cries out, she cries out I want to be like the movie stars and models on the screen She wants to fly away from this She wants to fly away from this, but she does not know how to Fly away from this, she wants to fly away
This addiction is bringing her down This obsession is bringing her down
She wants to fly away from this Fly away from this She wants to fly away from this but only God knows how to Fly away from this He will help her now to Fly away from this, she wants to fly away
Awakend from a dream again to a sunrise of Your own How could I expect any more from the one who is so pure Yet you gave up Your life and Your still giving more
This must imply that Love again, again, again I don′t deserve this love You gave Love again, again, again I don′t deserve this love You gave to me
A fountain flows with gifts from you That I do nothing for You cover me with Your love though I nailed You to a cross I don′t understand but I thank you the same
This must imply that Love again, again, again I don′t deserve this love You gave Love again, again, again I don′t deserve this love You gave to me
Lord you take my heart away with your love and i am willing to put all my faith in your plan
come into my life make my soul vast in truth now im ready for you take my heart and make me new now i am ready for you to come and feel my soul
clinch all of my mind that is not of you break me teaching me how to find the rest in your hands
come into my life make my soul vast in truth now i am ready for you take my heart and make me new now i am ready for you to come and feel my soul won′t you come and feel my soul
whatever it takes im needing to make your will be done im letting go of my control for i see what you′ve done in me
im ready for you take my heart and make me new now im ready for you to come and feel my soul
im ready for you (im ready for you) take my heart and make me new now im ready for you (im ready for you) to come and feel my soul come and feel my soul won′t you come and feel my soul
You tell me it′s nothing but I see it′s something in your eyes A fear is there You say you don′t need me, don′t try to deceive me By pulling the wool over my eyes
There′s nothing wrong with needing help sometimes What are friendships for Now please
[CHORUS:] Don′t push me away condemn your pride Sometimes we all need a hand to get by Don′t push me away condemn your pride When tears start to fall then with you I will cry
No one is perfect, it just isn′t worth it to stand on your own Though fear is there Don′t be ashamed to ask me to help you To deal with the thoughts, spinning your head
There′s nothing wrong with needing help sometimes What are friendships for Now please
[BRIDGE:] You can lean on me Stand by my side, we will fight We are much stronger as one
I see the city lights all around me Everyone′s obscure Ten million people each with their problems Why should anyone care
And in Your eyes I can see I am not just a man, vastly lost in this world Lost in a Sea of Faces Your body′s the bread, Your blood is the wine Because you traded Your life for mine
Sometimes my life it feels so trivial Immersed in the greatness of space Yet somehow you still find the time for me It′s then You show me Your love
And In Your eyes I can see And in Your arms I will be I am not just a man, vastly lost in this world Lost in a Sea of Faces Your body′s the bread, Your blood is the wine Because you traded Your life for mine
If only my one heart Was all you′d gain from all it cost Well I know you would have still been a man With a reason To willingly offer your life
I am not just a man, vastly lost in this world Lost in a Sea of Faces Your body′s the bread, Your blood is the wine Because you traded Your life for mine (repeat 2x′s)
Oh the memories Of all the things that shouldn′t be They take you away from all you should be Don′t let it go by as if you agree
[CHORUS:] Nightmares of the past will fade away The future of your name is what will stay Never try to blame the past for everything you say You have the power you need to change your legacy
Do you really want to be just like the very ones you blame who take you away from all you should be Don′t just stand by as if you agree Think of the future and when you are gone how will you be remembered then For all time you can be the one who changed the name
How do I speak of the indescribable to You I will try to explain these feelings that are true So looking to the sky I will sing and from my heart to You I bring
All of the words in all of my life that could never explain and never describe All of my love, which is nothing to hide so I lift up my hands and I worship I worship You
In your presence I forever choose to live I will praise You for it′s all I have to give So looking to the sky I will sing and from my heart to You I bring
All of the words in all of my life that could never explain and never describe All of my love, which is nothing to hide so I lift up my hands and I worship
By Your grace You let me come talk to You It′s not that I′m worthy I thank you Jesus For the love that You have shown
All of the words in all of my life that could never explain and never describe All of my love, which is nothing to hide so I lift up my hands and I worship
With all of the words in all of my life that could never explain and never describe All of my love, which is nothing to hide so I lift up my hands and I worship I worship You
Take me past the outer courts Into the Holy Place Past the brazen alter Lord I want to see Your face Pass me by the crowds of people The priests who sing Your praise I hunger and thirst for Your righteousness And it′s only found one place
Take me in to the Holy of Holies Take me in by the blood of the Lamb Take me in to the Holy of Holies Take the coal, cleanse my lips, here I am Take the coal, cleanse my lips, here I am
