lyrics

Love That Rescues

Amazing grace has kept me safe thus far / Even though it could not hide my deepest scars / Still it heals every wound / Caused by sin and gives me sweet peace / And I stand here today with these scars to remind me where I come from / And I know, I know, I know His grace has taken over /// O can it be? This love that rescues me / O can it be? This love that rescues me /// His love so sweet, it beckons me / To come and lay down at His feet / And gaze upon His nail-scarred hands / And thrust my hands into His pierced side / And He stands here today with these scars to remind me where I come from / And I know, I know, I know His grace has taken over

The Angels Smile

There’s a cool breeze blowin’ across the sanctuary tonight / The Spirit is movin’, this could be a while / The preacher stands there speechless not knowing what to do next / the singers are silenced with a holy hush / From the back of the room she comes down the isle / Askin’ for forgiveness / And the angel’s smile / They gather round his bedside as she holds his hand / They watch him take his last breath, O, how she loved this man / The preacher says that heaven will be a better place / Cause now he’s up there singin’ for Jesus face to face / And the angels smile / O, as another one is born into this family / O, as another one makes it home into this family / All of heaven stands to their feet / All of heaven stands and sings / All of heaven lifts their voice to rejoice / And the angels smile

Irresistible

I don’t believe my eyes / Everything is clear inside of me for once / I see things in a different light / Your love brings healing with it’s touch /// It’s calling out to me / It whisper’s in my ear / It’s drawing me and I can not resist / So I run to You as you call to me / Yes I run to You because You first loved me /// You are merciful / You have redeemed me with Your blood / And though I don’t deserve Your grace / Still, You lavish grace on me

Now Forever

Thank you Lord Jesus, God Almighty for saving my soul now, forever / Thank you Lord Jesus, God Almighty, for making me whole now, forever ///We lift up Your name / We call out in praise / As we fall on our face for you / No, it’s not of works / Lest we should boast / It’s only by grace from You / That we can stand here and say/// Thank you Lord Jesus, God Almighty for keeping bold now, forever / Help me Lord Jesus, God Almighty reach the goal now, forever / Thank you Lord Jesus, my Rock, my Redeemer / Thank you Lord Jesus, the Calmer of my Storm / Help me Lord Jesus, God Almighty to carry my cross now, forever

Bring Him Joy

Everybody sing this song / Everybody clap along / Everybody move your feet and dance with joy / Everybody raise your hands / Everyone sing praise to Him / Everybody lift your voice and bring Him Joy / For He inhabits the praise of His people / There is no better sound for Him to hear / When we call out with praise then He will / He will listen to us and bend His ear / Lift your voice to Him

The Portrait

Another stroke of the brush across the canvas / I trace an image of who I think I am / Add a duller shade of green / To match the mood I seem to be in for the moment / I stop to analyze the portrait / Unhappy with my work, I want to start again / What started out to be / My own masterpiece has somehow been distorted / I throw my hands up / I feel so disgusted with myself / How soon ‘til I become beautiful enough to hold my head up / Another stroke of the brush across the canvas / He traces an image of the great I AM / Adds a brighter shade of red / To match the blood He shed for me in that moment / He stops to analyze the portrait / Sa happy with His work, He can’t wait to see the end / What had seemed to be / Ruined by me, He somehow has restored it / I hold my hands up / I’ve never felt so much love before / Now when the Father sees His Son’s masterpiece it looks so beautiful / Another stroke of the brush across the canvas / Daily He’s working on this portrait of me / And one day I’ll conform / To the image of the Son of God in His glory

Everything I Hate

I hate a man who builds me up just to knock me down again / And I hate a man who buys the “American Dream” at the cost of his wife and kids / I hate a man who plays this masquerade that he calls church / Just to fool me into thinking he’s better off when I know he’s worse /// What will it take to make me understand / And see myself for who I really am / I’m everything I hate /// I hate a man who turns away from someone in need / And I hate a man who’s generosity is fueled by his own greed / There’s a beam in my eye / From speaking truth but living a lie / And dressing up in a righteous disguise / When I’m the biggest fool, ‘cause I have fooled myself

Empty Hands

I come to You with empty hands / I’ve dropped all my pride / You see me for who I am / I have nothing left to hide /// Lord, be Lord in me / Cleanse me from the old until You see Yourself in me / Light a fire in me / Lord, be Lord in me /// Refiner’s fire come and burn / Take away those things that keep me from being more like You / I come to You with empty hands / I have nothing left to hide

Where I Want To Be

I’m a hundred miles from nowhere / That’s a hundred miles from where I wanna be / Next to You singing this melody / I’m tired of all the games / Every time You call my name it’s hide and seek / Ready or not here You come / But You’ll never find me because I hide so well / I tell myself / I’m such a good player / I kid myself / ‘Cause I’m nothing, nothing, nothing without You! /// Then You take me back into Your arms once again / And You hold me close and tell me I am Your friend / You forgive me even though I’m unforgivable / You take me where / Where I wanna be /// You’re miles away from ordinary / And I’m borderline crazy / Running in circles, getting dizzy, falling down, going insane / Trying to figure You out / Why do You love me even though I doubt You / Your kind of love, I can’t explain, but You love me O so well! / You know me better / Than I know myself / Now I’m seeing clearer / That I’m nothing, nothing, nothing without You!

Water Run

Living Water, rush through me / Wash away my sin / Living Water, flow over me / Cleanse me once again / As the Living Water runs / More like Him I become /// Run fast and deep / Stream from Calvary / The taste is so sweet / As it cleanses me / Water run /// Living Water, fall like rain on a dry desert / Living Water, flow from your spring / Come and quench my thirst / As the Living Water runs / More like Him I become

It Hits You

Speaking out loud is one thing / Living what you preach is another, another step further / When every eye is watching / It’s so easy to do the right thing when you know they’re looking /// But it’s when you are all alone / You come face to face with who you really are / That’s when it hits you / Right between the eyes like lightning from the sky / That’s when you understand / You’ve got to live, you’ve got to live the truth /// Living life to the fullest / Taking advantage of each opportunity as they come to me / Sometimes I go through the motions / Doing everything I’m supposed to but with the wrong attitude / Just when you think / You are all alone / Remember there’s someone who is / Watching you

Because of Your Love

Lead me Lord, and I will worship You / Lead me Lord, tell me clearly what to do / Because of Your love, because of Your grace / I come into this place / And stand in awe of You and worship / Because of Your love, because of Your grace / I give You all the praise / And stand in awe of You and worship / In this place
