Staring at a blank 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 that its true I seek you, yes I seek You
And I realize that its true I need you , yes I need You
And I reach and I
touch you and I know that I need You
To reach out and to touch me and I know
I know that I need your touch
Not knowing why I ever retreated from Your arms
A mistake I made
Now oh Lord I feel Your warm embrace, contentment
fills my soul as joy lights my face
And I realize that its true I seek you, yes I seek You
And I realize that its true I need you, yes I need You
And I reach and I touch you and I know that I need You
To reach out and to touch me and I know
I know that 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
I need your, I need your … I was lost but now I’m found … And I reach and I touch you and I know that I need You
To reach out and to touch me and I know
I know that I need your touch
Your touch, Your touch
Where were you last night when the party was 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 differences 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 seven days ago
I let go of my life yes I gave I all
I let go of all I used to do and I gave it all away
You want to know, the differences 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 differences 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
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
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
Hey, 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 happened to the love, the love you had for me
When you first came to see
Don’t you know that I died, 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
Hey, 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
Hey, 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…
Another year has come and gone but nothings 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 made a vow to repent and 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
Her my promise to you in this new years vow I give
you all of me
You’ll be all of my life ad 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 and turn to you

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

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
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
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 plan we make them hard to define
But pull from divine when problems arise
But pride denies and my stand never survives
In every one of our lives in every single day
We need to lay down our pride as God takes it away
Take my pride away, pride away
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 cries out, se cries out
The frustrations of this life are filling her head
How could such a simple thing have a grip so intense
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
She tried just to be what she’s not but she’s destroying herself
She starves herself
This comparison 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
Awakened from a dream again to a surprise of Your own
How could I expect any more from the one who is so pure Yet you gave up You 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 cross I don’t understand but I think 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
Do you remember that day of you life
It seemed like yesterday that joy it filled my heart
Now something’s different the times oh they have changed
The love’s te same yet emotion’s running dry
The feeling’s gone but I know your still there
I guess its just a part of life that I must bare
It doesn’t feel the same
And I’m feeling down
Amidst my pain
I see all my shame
And I’m feeling dry but who am I to complain
I’m still free
You’ve set me free
It doesn’t feel the same
And I’m feeling down
Amidst my pain
I see all my shame
And I’m feeling dry but who am I to complain
I her the voices of thousands all gathered here
Are they just a noise soon lost in air
Or is there more, is there more
You life your hands up high reaching to the sky
Is there a reason can, can you tell me why
Or s there more, is there more
So let me ask you
Can’t you feel the music all around you ‘ Flashing lights but love can fill your mind
Can’t you fell the sounds of love flow through you
We’re praising Him tonight
Some say that it, it’s not right
For us to praise on this, this type of night
Tonight there’s more there’s more
So let me ask you
Can’t you feel the music all around you
Flashing lights but love can fill your mind
Cant you feel the sounds of love flow through you
We’re praising Him tonight
I see you standing there
I see a tear in your eye
Why’d you turn away
Why’d you run
Run till this point of breaking
No walking away
No walking away
You were the one that I looked to
I never thought I’d see you run
I never thought I’d see you turn your back on all you know was right
You turned your back on God
Now walking away
No walking away
No walking away yeah
No walking away
(speaking in bridge) for the wages of sin is death
But the gift of God is eternal life
In Christ Jesus our Lord
Do not be overcome by evil
But overcome evil with good
No walking away?
You ask me why I need this faith
I tell you now it’s the only way
To be set free from all your pain
You must accept these words I say, I say
I need your focus just this day let me reveal to you a friend
He’ll give you purpose and eternal life
He is the Christ and to Him I say, 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 that 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 you love away
Oh all to cover me
I cry out to You with the love that fills my heart
I give my lie to You
In faith I won’t depart
Oh now won’t you come and take him in

I give my life to You
In faith I won’t depart
But I know it’ll be alright, okay
And I know it’ll be alright, okay
Okay, okay, alright, okay
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, hey
And by that love and grace, I’m amazed
It’s by Your grace and love 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’d by grace and love I am saved
It’s by Your grace and love You’ve forgiven me, hey
And by that love and grace, I’m amazed
It’s by Your grace and love I am free
I am 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 watch him do all that he said
His words were “Be a servant to all.”
Only One deserves this exaltation
Only one deserves this elevation
But even he, he laid it down
To serve on bended knee
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
My decision cannot 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
Sometimes I wonder why it’s this way
When it’s done the burden is gone
This discomfort will be take away
As soon as it’s over, it’s over for me
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 wind
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
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
Just one in a million faces
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 you’re abused
My heart it screams
To open up and let you in
In my mind I’m still fighting to understand
Nothing’s free, nut what you offer me
You give so freely
Though it cost you your life and inside
You show me the truth
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
Let you in…
Within my mind’s eye
Flickering from the past
Come images that terrify and calm
A paradox in me
Nail pierced hands, they run with blood
A splitting brow forced by the thorns
His face is writhing with the pain
Yet it’s comforting to me
He chose to give it all. Jesus endured the pain
Paying a debt I owed and created a paradox in me
And in my heart I know that you’re the only one
Who could have came and died. A sacrifice
As you’re God’s only son
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
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
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 reason
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
Your blood it covered all my sin
You changed a traitor into kin
In this false life something needs to give
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
Al 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 you 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
By you grace you let me come talk to you
It’s not that I’m worth I thank you, Jesus
For the love that you have shown
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
A screaming man falls to his knees
His broken heart inflicts the pain
Hi’s withdrawn no one knows his name
One mistake, now he’s lost in shame
Amidst the pain, you’re not alone
Though you can’t see through the haze
His eyes of love are staring down
And he feels your troubled heart
Yes it’s true, that someone cares
Your perfect friend, never leaving you
Strength is gone and you’re feeling cold
You will know the truth that he told
By your grace you repair the broken pieces within
Somehow you take a man
And make something more out of him
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 I came when it went
Now it’s gone away
It’s so like me to never see
When I 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 change
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
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
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.
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 of even change my ways
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
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’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 that pain
Don’t you dare to make another move
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
Don’t give in to everything the world around tells you to be
Open up your mind release yourself
Stop the living 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
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
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
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
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
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
I know you’re always there
To 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
I am holding on to the hope I have inside
With you I will stay through every day
Putting my understanding aside
And I am comforted
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.
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
Someday we’ll sail away
Mounted up on wings like eagles
We will run and will not fade away.
Another beautiful morning
The sun seems a little brighter today
It’s my reward for stepping into the moment as I am seizing the day
I’m soaring now somewhere in the sky
The rush of air never wanting to come down
There’s nothing that I’ve ever felt like learning how to fly
I’m learning how to fly
The freedom to be in the moment
The reason for making a memory
Never wasting all that comes my way as I take in what I see
I thank God for our freedom
There’s nothing wrong with enjoying things in life
Spread the word that a smile’s not beyond us
This is a call to act and seize your day
Empty reason 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 myself
The pain is self inflicted
The decisions were my own
Now listen to history.
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 and see al the tings 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
Some things you may never understand
But knowledge from lessons not your own
Can save you from the unknown which may stop your fall
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
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 need help sometimes
What are friendships for
Now please
You can lean on me
Stand by my side, we will fight
We are much stronger as one
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
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
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
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
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
He threw it all away
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
Nightmares of the past will fade 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
