You are the God

Where was I when you stretched out the sky?
Where were you when you opened my eyes?
With the fruits of the Spirit you feed me feed me
And you showed me the door so the evil one can’t deceive me
You are the God, you are the God
Of all creation, you are the God
To put my life into your hands
Put my faith in your plans
You are the only one, the only one alleluia
The only one, only one, only one
Can I leave my heavy load in the valley?
Who can I trust to bring in my grain?
When the surface of the deep is frozen
When the waters become hard as a stone
We are the light of the world
We are the salt of the earth

The Plan
03:58

Walkin by faith not by sight
Tryna figure out which way is wrong and right
You can spin the bottle, roll the dice, take it or leave it
Everybody talks about a brand new start
But what good is it if you’ve got the same old heart
You can dance the dance and hold the hand of the devil
But I don’t think he’ll let you win
Oh what is man that you would be mindful of him?
Oh what is truth that you would right it down in the palm of you hand?
You are the God and I am the man, I’ve got the life and you’ve got the plan
One day you wake up and it was only a dream
You stand in a moment with everything that you’ve ever seen
You see the gates you hear the voice
You fall to your knees you made your choice
Not another day without your love

Thankful

What is it that you’ve come here for?
What’s holdin you down?
What is it that you’re fighting for?
What’s got you so wound up, don’t wanna wind up
Like your father was, like your brother does
I’m gonna get down on my knees and pray
To you lord, to ya
I’m gonna get down on my knees and say
That I know that you are God and I am thankful
What is it that you’re hiding from
What’s true in your heart
What is it in the back of your mind
What’s under your questioning smile, he’s already been on trial
Like your mother was, like your sister does
What’s got you so wound up, don’t wanna wind up
Like your father was, like your brother does
Like your mother was, sister does

OMG

I’ve been wandering through the dark night
Hoping for the light to find me, hoping for the darkness to hide me
I’ve been sleeping all of my days, all of my days away
Never knowing I was tired and blind
And if you are all that you say you are, you are good
And if you are all that you say you are, you are good
I never felt so alive than with you by my side
I never knew you were the one, until I felt your love
Oh, my God
I’ve been watching all of my brothers
Waiting for the way to suit them, waiting for the road to choose them
And I’ve been asking for the easy way, even though I know it’s useless
Even though I know the truth within
And if you are all that you say you are, you are kind
And if you are all that you say you are, you are kind
Once upon a time I was alone and away from you
Now you can hear me calling, now you can catch me falling
Now that you’ve opened up my eyes

Love you like Him
04:15
|
|||
|
You are my companion, you are so fearless, you are so brave
Giving our hearts to each other, there is no guarantee, there is no second place
But he’ll never let you down, he loves you better than me
And I know I can’t compete, he is the one you need
We’re just a whisper away from
Forever and ever amen
Forever and ever amen
Forever and ever amen
I could never love you from where you begin
But I wanna love you like him
Holding a piece of paper, I tell you how I feel, I tell you that I’m sorry
Casting our stones at each other, I am no leader
I can see a sinner in the mirror and I know
He’ll never break your heart, he’ll never turn and run
He’ll be the one you call, he has to be the one
We’re just a whisper away from
Forever and ever amen
Forever and ever amen
Forever and ever amen
I could never love you from where you begin
But I wanna love you like him

Godless
05:02
|
|||
|
Once I was a lonely boy in a lonely world
Looking for my fulfilment in guitars and girls
Like all my friends I had all the answers
We were so young, we were so dumb
We were so, we were so
Godless
I don’t wanna be godless
Got a tattoo on my heart when I was 21
Got something to stand for now I can be someone
The ink on my chest never made it to my head or my heart
Oh it’s such fun with an unloaded gun
Longer to fire, full of desire
Godless
I don’t wanna be godless
I saw through my father’s eyes a world he knew
The only thing I wish for him is the chance to talk to you
I go all the way down to the depths of my soul
And I feel the pain, it’s always the same
I know we’re to blame, but do we have to remain
Godless
I don’t wanna be godless

Keeping me from the King
05:06
|
|||
|
When I wake up in the morning and I feel my heart beat
I know that I will follow you until my hearts sleeps
And you know that I love you, because of who you are
And you know that I need you, because I fell so far
Oh I just wanna be free from what was keeping my from the King
When I look into my brother’s eyes and can’t find you there
It hurts me in a way that you know I can hardly bear
And you know that I’ll serve you, because of what you’ve done
And you know I don’t deserve you, you are the only Son
Oh I just wanna be free from what was keeping my from the King
Can’t go back, now I know
Can’t go back, from what you’ve shown
I just wanna walk with you, talk with you, be there when you say I AM
When I’m standing in the dark of the night with an empty cup
You call me and you meet me there and you fill me up
Oh I just wanna be free from what was keeping my from the king
I just wanna walk with you a little while, touch your hands and feet
I just wanna talk with you a little while, praise the words you speak
I just wanna walk with you, talk with you, be there when you say I AM

Our Father
04:24
|

|
Our Father in heaven, forgive us for the sin that we make, Our Father
Forgive us for the promises we break,
Our Father
I know not what it is that I do
I know the one I need is you
Oh God help me, to treat my neighbour well
Oh God help me, to love my enemy
Our Father in heaven, keep us from the dark place,
Our Father
Turn us around with prodigal grace,
Our Father
Held up by your righteous right hand
With a brand new heart, in Christ we stand
I wanna thank you Lord, for all that you’ve done
Giving me life, through your Son
I wanna thank you Lord, for all that you’ve done
Giving me life, in the name of your Son

Neighbour
05:09

Take a look out in the street my love, tell me what you see
Take a look out of your window my brother, can you help me
I can’t stop these tears from falling down
I can’t stop these years from pouring out
I know you can hear it falling, the sky, it’s just a matter of time
I’m gonna put off the old, the new has come
I’m gonna give my heart to the Holy One
I’m gonna take this man, and serve the Lamb
I’m gonna love you, like I was your
Neighbour, that’s what I am, I’m gonna be your servant my friend
On the day every knee does bow, I’m gonna be a servant again
Gotta give it up for the one who saw the sins of the world and gave his only Son
Whosoever believeth in him, drink of the water and see that it’s good
What are we gonna do about all the fighting, how we gonna stop this bleeding
What are we gonna do about all the writing, on the wall that is dividing
I can’t stop these tears from falling down
I can’t stop these years from pouring out
I know you can hear it falling, the sky, it’s just a matter of time
