My God, My God

Oh I could sing a million songs
Of how You change me
Of how my dark and broken heart
Has felt Your mercy
Oh I could sing of all the things
You’ve done for me
Oh I could sing a million songs
Of how I’ve messed things up
Of how my dark and broken heart
Has made a mess of love
Oh I could sing of all the things
I’ve done to You
Oh my God, my God, how can it be
That You in all Your majesty
My God, You’d come for me
In all my shame and suffering
My God, my God
Oh I could sing a million songs
Of how You’ve overcome
Of how You’re pure and perfect love
Has built a home in us
Oh I could sing of all the things
You’ve done for me

Get Myself To You
03:58

I’m as stubborn as they come
No rules for me is my rule of thumb
Don’t tell me I need to change
I have walked a harder road
I’ve been places no one else should go
I’ve worn faces no else would know
Please don’t forget me when You’re gone
I know I’ve done things wrong
Seasons have changed but I’m the same
And I can’t stay this way
How do I get myself to You
Get myself to You
I lay wide awake at night
Searching for any kind of light
I know that I need to change
I can see it in Your eyes
Love becomes real when someone dies
God help us, we need to change

Jesus, we pray You hear us
Don’t delay, come near us
Jesus, we pray
God, we need love
And we know that You’ve got it
God, we need love
And we know that You’ve got it
So give it to us
You are always love, love, love
To the loveless
Always strong enough for us
In our weakness
You are always light
Ten thousand times brighter than us
You are always love
Spirit, be clear, be constant
Bind our fear with confidence
Spirit, we pray

The Anchor
04:03
|

|
This world’s a sinking ship
And I can’t let go of it
I buried my heart and my soul in the floorboards
This world’s a sinking ship
We’ve formed a hurricane
Built up the winds with the choices we’ve made
Buried our hearts and our souls in the floorboards
We’ve formed a hurricane
But when my heart beats Your heart beats
When my words fail your mercy speaks
In the violent throes of tragedy
You’re the anchor
We need to let love in
But we can’t grab hold of it
We’ve buried our hearts and our souls in the floorboards
We need to let love in
God would You pull us straight
Show us the path through the choices we have made
Bury our hearts and our souls in Your floorboards
God would You pull us straight
When my heart aches Your heart bleeds
When my lungs give out, your mercy breathes
In the violent throes of suffering
You’re the anchor
You’re the anchor
Holding me steady
You’re the anchor

Heavy Love
04:41
|
|||
|
I don’t deserve You
I don’t deserve this love
I am the least of these
You are the Son of God
My words are feeble
They fall from broken lips
You are the Son of God
I am a hypocrite
Heavy Love
My heart’s not strong enough
To carry on, please carry on
Heavy Love
Be strong in spite of us
And we’ll carry on
If You carry on
Father forgive us
We have abandoned ship
Took what we wanted
And walked away with it
We’ll never learn God
We’ll never hold our own
We need the Son of God
Gracious and merciful
Who’s gonna carry us now
Who’s gonna carry us now
If we can’t carry ourselves
Who’s gonna carry us now

I am not afraid
I am not afraid
With You here by my side
I am not afraid
No matter what comes my way
No matter what comes my way
Not death, not tears, not pain
I am not afraid
Keep me safe I pray
Keep me close and safe
Lord, be here by my side
Keep me safe I pray
No matter what comes my way
No matter what comes my way
Not death, not tears, not pain
I am not afraid
For You, oh God, have overcome
Dressed in the saving blood
You paid it all for everyone
For You, oh God, have overcome
You’ve overcome, overcome

Love Laying Down Life
04:08
|
|||
|
Oh the beauty of the cross
Love laying down life for us
The pain, the blood, the loss
Love laying down life for us
Oh Your love is a fountain of blood
That flows through us
From the beautiful violent cross
Love laying down life for us
Oh the broken Son of God
Love laying down life for us
The scars that prove He’s won
Love laying down life for us
|

Heavy clouds let down your rain
And let the sun shine in again
We’ve been waiting far too long
We’d give our arms
We’d give our legs
To see the sun rise up again
We’ve been waiting far too long
Come sooner than later
Mighty God, the sooner the better
We’ll spend our whole lives waiting
Waiting for love to come for us, waiting
We’ll search the whole world over
Waiting for love to come for us, waiting
Heavy hearts let down your pain
And let the sun shine in again
We’ve been waiting far too long
How long ‘til my head and my heart
Feel the love that is in Your eyes
How long

Bright Enough
05:35
|
|||
|
I’ve lost control
Thought I had hold
But I stretched and I broke
I gave way
I’ve lost control
I’ve lost my head
Where there was life
There’s a hole in my chest
A dark hole
A dark black hole
Oh God of mercy, God of light
God, in my darkness
Would You be bright enough
‘Cause I’ve got no fire in my eyes
Oh God of mercy
Could You be bright enough
Father be real
Come in a way I can touch I can feel
A new way
Father be real
‘Cause I’ve lost my head
Where there was life there is pain and regret
A dark hole
A dark black hole

Breathe deep, breathe it all in
Breathe ‘til you can’t take anymore
Hold fast, with all that you have
Hold ‘til you can’t take anymore
And put this world behind, so far behind
Cast your cares upon Him now
God knows that love can be so hard to find
But we can’t give up
So we won’t give up
Rejoice, rejoice
The Son of God has come for us
Rejoice, rejoice
He has come, He has come
