1.Amazing Grace / My Chains Are Gone
(Traditional / Louie Giglio / Chris Tomlin)
Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Was blind, but now I see
‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
My chains are gone
I’ve been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
My chains are gone
I’ve been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, Amazing grace
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine

2. Untitled Hymn (Come to Jesus)
(Chris Rice)
Weak and wounded sinner
Lost and left to die
O, raise your head for love is passing by
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus
Come to Jesus and live!
Now your burden’s lifted
And carried far away
And precious blood has washed away the stain
So sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus
Sing to Jesus and live!
And like a newborn baby
Don’t be afraid to crawl
And remember when you walk sometimes we fall
So fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus
Fall on Jesus and live!
Sometimes the way is lonely
And steep and filled with pain
So if your sky is dark and pours the rain
Then
cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus
Cry to Jesus and live!
O, and when the love spills over
And music fills the night
And when you can’t contain your joy inside
Then dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus
Dance for Jesus and live!
And with your final heartbeat
Kiss the world goodbye
Then go in peace, and laugh on Glory’s side
And fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus
Fly to Jesus and live!

3. Abide With Me / Abide With Me, ‘Tis Eventide
(Henry F. Lyte/William H. Monk/Lowrie M. Hofford/Harrison Millard)
Abide with me fast falls the eventide
The darkness deepens, Lord with me abide
When other helpers fail and comforts flee
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me
Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day
Earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away
Change and decay in all around I see
O Thou who changest not, abide with me
Abide with me; ’tis eventide,
And lone will be the night
If I cannot commune with thee
Nor find in thee my light.
The darkness of the world, I fear,
Would in my home abide.
O Savior, stay this night with me;
Behold, ’tis eventide.
O Savior, stay this night with me;
Behold, ’tis eventide.

4. Behold the Wounds
(David Naylor/John Pearson)
Behold the wounds in Jesus’ hands
The Marks upon His side.
Then ponder who He meant to save
When on the cross He died.
We cannot see the love of God
Which saves us from the fall,
Yet know that Christ from wood and nails
Built mansions for us all.
Behold the out-stretched hands of Christ
Our God, who came to save,
Whose love and grace redeems our souls
And lifts us from the grave.
Though bruised and battered as we stray
His loving hands caress,
He washes and annoints with oil
Then in His arms we rest.
Behold the wounds in Jesus’ hands,
Look to your Lord and live
He yearns to bless you with His love
And all your sins forgive.
Oh empty is the heart of man
When it is filled with sin.
Come open wide your broken heart
And let your Savior in!
Behold His wounded hands and feet!
Come touch and see and feel
The wounds and marks that you may know
His love for you is real.
Then as you fall to worship Him
And wash His feet in tears,
Your Savior takes you in His arms
And quiets all your fears.
Your Savior takes you in His arms
And quiets all your fears

5. Were You There
(African American Spiritual)
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they crucified my Lord?
Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?
Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they nailed him to the tree?
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?
Oh, sometimes it causes me to tremble, tremble.
Were you there when they laid him in the tomb?

6. Homeward Bound
(Marta Keen Thompson)
In the quiet misty morning
When the moon has gone to bed
When the sparrows stop their singing
And the sky is clear and red
When the summer’s ceased its gleaming
When the corn is past its prime
When adventure’s lost its meaning
I’ll be homeward bound in time
Bind me not to the pasture
Chain me not to the plow
Set me free to find my calling
And I’ll return to you somehow
If you find it’s me you’re missing
If you’re hoping I’ll return
To your thoughts I’ll soon be listening
In the road I’ll stop and turn
Then the wind will set me racing
As my journey nears its end
And the path I’ll be retracing
When I’m homeward bound again
Bind me not to the pasture
Chain me not to the plow
Set me free to find my calling
And I’ll return to you somehow
In the quiet misty morning
When the moon has gone to bed
When the sparrows stop their singing
And the sky is clear and red

7. How Great Thou Art
(Stuart K. Hine/Sweedish Folk Melody)
O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works Thy Hand hath made,
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy pow’r throughout the universe displayed;
And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the Cross, my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
When Christ shall come with shout of acclamation,
And take me home what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration
And there proclaim “My God, how great Thou art!”
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!
Then sings my soul,
My Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!

8. Part the Waters, Lord / I Need Thee Every Hour
(Charles F. Brown/Annie S. Hawkes/Robert Lowry)
When I think I’m going under
Part the waters, Lord
When I feel the waves around me
Calm the sea
When I cry for help
Oh, hear me, Lord
And hold our Your hand
Touch my life
Still the raging storm in me
I need thee every hour
Most gracious Lord;
No tender voice like
Thine can peace afford.
I need thee every hour
Stay thou nearby
Temptations lose their power
When thou art nigh
I need Thee, O I need thee
Every hour I need thee
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to thee
I need thee every hour
In joy or pain
Come quickly and abide
Or life is vain
I need Thee, O I need thee
Every hour I need thee
O bless me now, my Savior,
I come to thee

9. In Humility, Our Savior
(Mabel Jones Gabbott/Rowland H. Prichard)
In humility, our Savior,
Grant thy Spirit here, we pray,
As we bless the bread and water
In thy name this holy day.
Let me not forget, O Savior,
Thou didst bleed and die for me
When thy heart was stilled and broken
On the cross at Calvary.
Fill our hearts with sweet forgiving;
Teach us tolerance and love.
Let our prayers find access to thee
In thy holy courts above.
Then, when we have proven worthy
Of thy sacrifice divine,
Lord, let us regain they presence;
Let thy glory round us shine

10. Fairest Lord Jesus (Beautiful Savior)
(Selesian Folk Song/Text anonymous)
Fair is the sunshine,
Fairer the moonlight,
And all the stars in heaven above.
Jesus shines brighter,
Jesus shines purer,
He brings to all the world His light
Fair are the meadows,
Fairer are the woodlands,
Robed in flowers of blooming spring;
Jesus is fairer,
Jesus is purer;
He makes our sorrowing spirit sing.
Beautiful Savior,
Lord of the nations,
Son of God and Son of Man!
Thee will I honor,
Praise, and give glory;
Give praise and glory evermore

11. It Is Well With My Soul
(Horatio Spafford/Philip P. Bliss)
When peace, like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
But, Lord, ’tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait
The sky, not the grave, is our goal
Oh, trump of the angel! Oh, voice of the Lord!
Blessed hope, blessed rest of my soul!
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.
And, Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight,
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll;
The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend,
Even so, it is well with my soul.
It is well with my soul,
It is well, it is well with my soul.

12. Softly and Tenderly
(Will L. Thompson)
Softly and tenderly Jesus is calling,
Calling for you and for me;
See, on the portals he’s waiting and watching,
Watching for you and for me.
Why should we tarry when Jesus is pleading,
Pleading for you and for me?
Why should we linger and heed not his mercies,
Mercies for you and for me?
Come home, come home;
Ye who are weary come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!
O for the wonderful love he has promised,
Promised for you and for me!
Though we have sinned, he has mercy and pardon,
Pardon for you and for me.
Come home, come home;
Ye who are weary come home;
Earnestly, tenderly, Jesus is calling,
Calling, O sinner, come home!

I was born with half a heart. God made up the difference.
This is the remarkable true story of one man’s struggle to survive long enough to get a second chance at life.
Along the way, Paul wrote down his thoughts, feelings, and observations in an online blog called “Living for Eden,” named for his three-year-old daughter. This book reflects those blog entries and additional intimate insight into a miraculous journey that convincingly shows that God knows us personally and that we are put here on earth for a reason.
Paul says, “I’m a witness that these soul-stretching experiences can offer us, if we let them, joy, wisdom, happiness, and a personal relationship with God.”
After reading his story, you might also ponder the question, What do I need to do with my life . . . before my heart stops?

Offering
From the album Home
Words: Julie de Azevedo
Music: Brett Raymond
© 2005 Julie de Azevedo (BMI) / Brett Raymond Music (ASCAP)
In my hand I hold a penny
Tarnished and so small
I know it’s a meager offering
But it is my all
In return You build me mansions
Palaces and thrones
I’m offering a piece of rusty copper
You’re offering streets of gold
In my hand a bead of water
Salty frail teardrop
I know it’s a meager offering
But it’s all I’ve got
In return You send me oceans
Downpour feeds the flood
I’m offering a tiny fallen droplet
You’re drenching me with love
In my hand a blackened stone
Cold hard heap of coal
I know it’s a meager offering
But it is my soul
In return You drape me in diamonds
Gems so rare and round
I’m offering a roughened rock unpolished
You’re fitting me a crown
In my hand I hold a candle
Tiny fragile spark
I know it’s a meager offering
But it is my heart
In return Your summer sunshine
Winter is undone
I’m offering a flicker in the darkness
You’re offering the sun
I’m offering a flicker in the darkness
You’re offering the sun
You’re offering the Son
Window to His Love
From the album State of the Heart
Words and music: Julie de Azevedo
© 1992 Mohrgüd Music (BMI)
I want to be a window to His love
So when you look at me you will see Him
I want to be so pure and clear
That you won’t even know I’m here
’Cause His love will shine brightly through me
I want to be a doorway to the truth
So when you walk beyond you will find Him
I want to stand so straight and tall
That you won’t notice me at all
But through my open door He will be seen
Chorus
A window to His love
A doorway to the truth
A bearer of the message
He’d have me bring to you
And with each passing day
I want to fade away
’Til only He can be seen
And I become a window to His love
I want to be a window to His love
So you can look through me and you’ll see Him
And someday shining through the glass
You’ll see His loving countenance
’Cause I will have become like He is
Chorus
A doorway to the truth
A bearer of the message
He’d have me bring to you
And with each passing year
I want to disappear
’Til He’s become everything
And I’ve become a window to His love

Lyrics:
HOW GREAT THE WISDOM AND THE LOVE
Words by Eliza R. Snow
Music by Thomas McIntyre
Arranged by Sam Cardon
How great the wisdom and the love
That filled the courts on high
And sent the Savior from above
To suffer, bleed, and die!
His precious blood He freely spilt;
His life He freely gave,
A sinless sacrifice for guilt,
A dying world to save.
He marked the path and led the way,
And ev’ry point defines
To light and life and endless day
Where God’s full presence shines.
How great, how glorious, how complete,
Redemption’s grand design,
Where justice, love, and mercy meet
In harmony divine!

COME, THOU FOUNT OF EVERY BLESSING
Words by Robert Robinson
Music by John Wyeth
Arranged by Sam Cardon
Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.
Teach me some melodious sonnet,
Sung by flaming tongues above;
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it,
Mount of thy redeeming love.
Here I raise my Ebenezer,
Hither by thy help I’m come;
And I hope, by thy good pleasure,
safely to arrive at home.
CHORUS:
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for thy courts above.
Jesus sought me when a stranger,
wand’ring from the fold of God;
He, to rescue me from danger,
Interposed his precious blood.
CHORUS
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be;
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wand’ring heart to Thee.

HE’LL FIND A WAY
Words and music by Julia Audretch
Arranged by Tyler Castleton
When life gets crazy
and you’ve had enough,
And the more you search for some kind of meaning,
The more you feel you’re out of luck;
When your mind tries to reason
and nothing adds up,
Lay it all down,
Take a good look around,
CHORUS:
His love can be seen in all directions
His infinite peace longs to hold you every second
From the thorns in His crown
To the sunset colored clouds
He’ll find a way to say I love you.
When tears won’t relieve you,
When your heart feels numb;
And your mind keeps replaying the painful,
thoughtless things you’ve done;
And you’re starting to wonder
just who you’ve become;
Believe you’ll make it,
Give your worry up,
Let Him take it.
CHORUS
Feel his love
with each breath you’re breathing,
It’s as sure
as your heart beating.
CHORUS
He’ll find a way to say I love you
He’ll find a way.

MY SHEPHERD WILL SUPPLY MY NEED
by Isaac Watts
Arranged by Mack Wilberg
My Shepherd will supply my need:
Jehovah is his Name;
In pastures fresh he makes me feed,
beside the living stream.
He brings my wand’ring spirit back,
when I forsake His ways,
and leads me for His mercy’s sake,
in paths of truth and grace.
When I walk through the shades of death,
thy presence is my stay;
One word of thy supporting breath
drives all my fears away.
Thy hand, in sight of all my foes,
doth still my table spread;
My cup with blessings overflows,
thine oil anoints my head.
The sure provisions of my God
attend me all my days;
O may thy house be mine abode,
and all my work be praise!
There would I find a settled rest
while others go and come,
no more a stranger, nor a guest;
but like a child at home.

How Can I Keep From Singing?
by Robert Wadsworth Lowry
Arranged by Rob Gardner
My life flows on in endless song;
Above Earth’s lamentation,
I catch the sweet, tho’ far-off hymn
That hails a new creation;
Through all the tumult and the strife,
I hear the music ringing;
It finds an echo in my soul—
How can I keep from singing?
What tho’ my joys and comfort die?
The Lord my Saviour liveth;
What tho’ the darkness gather round?
Songs in the night He giveth;
No storm can shake my inmost calm,
While to that refuge clinging;
Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth,
How can I keep from singing?
I lift my eyes; the cloud grows thin;
I see the blue above it;
And day by day this pathway smooths,
Since first I learned to love it:
The peace of Christ makes fresh my heart,
A fountain ever springing;
All things are mine since I am His—
How can I keep from singing?

I’M TRYING TO BE LIKE JESUS
Words and music by Janice Kapp Perry
Arranged by Tyler Castleton
I’m trying to be like Jesus;
I’m following in His ways,
I’m trying to love as He did,
in all that I do and say.
At times I am tempted to make a wrong choice,
But I try to listen as the still small voice whispers,
CHORUS:
“Love one another as Jesus loves you.
Try to show kindness in all that you do.
Be gentle and loving in deed and in thought,
For these are the things Jesus taught.”
I’m trying to love my neighbor;
I’m learning to serve my friends,
I watch for the day of gladness
When Jesus will come again.
I try to remember the lessons He taught,
Then the Holy Spirit enters into my thoughts, saying:

A POOR WAYFARING MAN OF GRIEF
Words by James Montgomery
Music by George Coles
Arranged by Rob Gardner
A poor wayfaring Man of grief
Hath often crossed me on my way,
Who sued so humbly for relief
That I could never answer nay.
I had not pow’r to ask his name,
Whereto he went, or whence he came;
Yet there was something in his eye
That won my love; I knew not why.
Stript, wounded, beaten nigh to death,
I found him by the highway side.
I roused his pulse, brought back his breath,
Revived his spirit, and supplied
Wine, oil, refreshment, he was healed.
I had myself a wound concealed,
But from that hour forgot the smart,
And peace bound up my broken heart.
In pris’n I saw him next, condemned
To meet a traitor’s doom at morn.
The tide of lying tongues I stemmed,
And honored him ‘mid shame and scorn.
My friendship’s utmost zeal to try,
He asked if I for him would die.
The flesh was weak; my blood ran chill,
But my free spirit cried, “I will!”
Then in a moment to my view
The stranger started from disguise.
The tokens in his hands I knew;
The Savior stood before mine eyes.
He spake, and my poor name he named,
“Of me thou hast not been ashamed.
These deeds shall thy memorial be;
Fear not, thou didst them unto me.”

I KNOW THAT MY REDEEMER LIVES
Words by Samuel Medley
Music by Lewis D. Edwards
Arranged by Dave Zabriskie
I know that my Redeemer lives.
What comfort this sweet sentence gives!
He lives, He lives, who once was dead.
He lives, my ever-living Head.
He lives to bless me with His love.
He lives to plead for me above.
He lives my hungry soul to feed.
He lives to bless in time of need
He lives to grant me rich supply.
He lives to guide me with his eye.
He lives to comfort me when faint.
He lives to hear my soul’s complaint.
He lives to silence all my fears.
He lives to wipe away my tears.
He lives to calm my troubled heart.
He lives all blessings to impart.
He lives, my kind, wise heav’nly Friend.
He lives and loves me to the end.
He lives, and while he lives, I’ll sing.
He lives, my Prophet, Priest, and King.
He lives and grants me daily breath.
He lives, and I shall conquer death.
He lives my mansion to prepare.
He lives to bring me safely there.
He lives! All glory to His name!
He lives, my Savior, still the same.
Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives:
“I know that my Redeemer lives!”
He lives! All glory to His name!
He lives, my Savior, still the same.
Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives:
“I know He lives!”

AMAZING GRACE
by John Newton
Arranged by Sam Cardon
Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound!)
That sav’d a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
Yes, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease;
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine:
But God, who call’d me here below,
Will be for ever mine.

COME HARVEST TIME
Words and music by Lowell Alexander
Arranged by Tyler Castleton
Planted by God
In a field without worth
We are but seeds in His eyes
So He nurtures with grace
And His hands work the earth
That His fruit may be sanctified
Come harvest time
CHORUS:
Come harvest time
What thanksgiving we will show
When the Plowman brings freedom
From the earth here below
Come harvest time
Oh what joy will be known
When He gathers the souls
Of the seeds He has sown
So when doubt dries the land
Or the cold, war winds blow
When the floods of indifference rise
Oh the roots that faith grew
Will keep us strong
‘Til our last sunset leaves the sky
Come harvest time

JESUS, ONCE OF HUMBLE BIRTH
Words by Parley P. Pratt
Music by Giacomo Meyerbeer
Arranged by Barlow Bradford
Jesus, once of humble birth,
Now in glory comes to earth.
Once He suffered grief and pain;
Now He comes on earth to reign.
Now He comes on earth to reign.
Once a meek and lowly Lamb,
Now the Lord, the great I Am.
Once upon the cross He bowed;
Now His chariot is the cloud.
Now His chariot is the cloud.
Once forsaken, left alone,
Now exalted to a throne.
Once all things He meekly bore,
But He now will bear no more.
But He now will bear no more.
Now in glory He appears.
Once rejected by His own,
Now their King He shall be known.
Now their King He shall be known.
Jesus, Jesus, of humble birth.

O DIVINE REDEEMER
Words and music by Charles Gounod
Ah! turn me not away,
receive me, tho’ unworthy,
Ah! turn me not away,
receive me, tho’ unworthy!
Hear Thou my cry, hear Thou my cry,
Behold, Lord, my distress!
Answer me from Thy throne,
haste Thee, Lord, to mine aid,
Thy pity show in my deep anguish!
Thy pity show in my deep anguish!
Let not the sword of vengeance smite me,
tho’ righteous Thine anger, O Lord!
Shield me in danger, O regard me!
On Thee, Lord, alone will I call.
O, divine Redeemer!
O, divine Redeemer!
I pray Thee, grant me pardon,
and remember not,
remember not my sins!
Forgive me,
O, divine Redeemer!
I pray Thee, grant me pardon,
and remember not, remember not,
O Lord, my sins!
Night gathers round my soul;
fearful, I cry to Thee;
Come to mine aid, O Lord!
Haste Thee, Lord, haste to help me!
Hear my cry, hear my cry!
Save me, Lord, in Thy mercy;
hear my cry, hear my cry!
Come and save me, O Lord!
O, divine Redeemer!
O, divine Redeemer!
I pray Thee, grant me pardon,
and remember not,
remember not, O Lord, my sins!
Save, in the day of retribution,
from Death shield Thou me, O my God!
O, divine Redeemer, have mercy!
Help me, my Savior!

I Will Be Ready Then
From the album Beautiful Dawn
Time…races on
The world spins so fast
All I see is past
When…will it end
Is there more to climb
Am I out of time
Help my lamp light
Keep burning bright and pure
I will remain true to the faith
That when He comes again
I will be ready then
Chorus:
I will be ready then
When He comes again
I will be ready then
When He comes again
I’ll be ready then
Take…one day at a time
Keep my heart set close
To what matters most
Give…every chance that I get
Set the world aside
Leave it all behind
Help my lamp light
Keep burning bright and pure
I will remain true to the faith
That when He comes again
I will be ready then
Chorus
Bright is the new day,
The sun is rising.
Help me to find someone in need,
Who’s crying for help, please send me…
Chorus
Beautiful Dawn
From the album Beautiful Dawn
Take me to the breaking of a beautiful dawn
Take me to the place where we come from
Take me to the end so I can see the start
There’s only one way to mend a broken heart
Take me to the place where I don’t feel so small
Take me where I don’t need to stand so tall
Take me to the edge so I can fall apart
There’s only one way to mend a broken heart
Take me where love isn’t up for sale
Take me where our hearts are not so frail
Take me where the fire still owns its spark
There’s only one way to mend a broken heart
Teach me how to see when I close my eyes
Teach me to forgive and to apologize
Show me how to love in the darkest dark
There’s only one way to mend a broken heart
Take me where the angels are close at hand
Take me where the ocean meets the sky and the land
Show me to the wisdom of the evening star
There’s only one way to mend a broken heart
Take me to the place where I feel no shame
Take me where the courage doesn’t need a name
Learning how to cry is the hardest part
There’s only one way to mend a broken heart
Hello Sunshine
From the album Beautiful Dawn
Hello sunshine it’s been too long
since I felt your warmth upon my face
And how much have I missed
‘Cause I’ve been focused on everything wrong
This road just felt so long
I forgot to lift my head to see you
Chorus
Oh my lovely shining for me
Let my eyes see all the beauty
Oh-oh
Hello sunshine since the moment
That I felt your beautiful warmth
I knew that I’d do anything
To keep this feeling of you
My heart comes alive
Oh who could add a day to this life
By drowning every dark sky
Chorus
Fill my dark skies
Make me see the light
Life is fine so bring in the sunshine
Oh-oh
Whoa-oh let in the sunshine
Whoa-oh let in the sunshine
Whoa-oh let in the sunshine
Let in the sunshine
We All Need Saving
From the album Beautiful Dawn
Come on, come on
You have got to move on
This is not the you I know
This isn’t real
It’s just all you can feel
And that’s the way that feelings go
And whether or not it’s right or wrong you’ll do what you will do
Chorus:
When the cloud in the sky starts to pour
And your life is just a storm you’re braving
Don’t tell yourself you can’t lean on someone else
Cause we all need saving sometimes
Say what you will but the time that we fill
While we’re on the earth
Should not be alone
We were meant to be known
You make me what I’m worth
But I can’t keep you from yourself you’ll do what you will do
Chorus
I don’t know why it has to be this way and
I don’t know the cure
But please believe someone else has felt this before
Chorus
Come Thou Fount
From the album Beautiful Dawn
Come, Thou Fount of ev’ry blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount! I’m fixed upon it
Mount of Thy redeeming love
Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by Thy help I’m Come
And I Hope by Thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
Prone to leave the God I Love
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wand’ring from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
Prone to leave the God I Love
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, as a fetter
Bind my wand’ring heart to Thee
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it
Prone to leave the God I Love
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
I Belong
From the album Beautiful Dawn
Not angels, nor demons, no power on earth or heaven
Not distance, nor danger, no trouble now or ever
Nothing can take me from your great love
Forever this truth remains
Chorus
I belong, I belong to you
I belong, I belong to you
Not hardship, nor hunger, no pain or depth of sorrow
Not weakness, nor failure, no broken dream or promise
Nothing can take me from your great love
Forever this truth remains
Chorus
Forever and forever, I belong
Nothing can take me from your great love
Forever this truth remains
Chorus
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer to thee
E’en though it be a cross
That raiseth me
Still all my song shall be
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer to thee
Though like the wanderer
The sun gone down
Darkness be over me
My rest a stone
Yet in my dreams I’d be
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer to thee
There let the way appear
Steps unto heaven
All that thou sendest me
In mercy giv’n
Angels to beckon me
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer, my God, to thee
Nearer to thee
All I Need
From the album Beautiful Dawn
When the day is done
And there’s no one else around
While I’m lying here in bed
You’re in my heart, You’re in my head
You’re all I need, You’re all I need
There are a million voices
Calling out my name
But You’re the One I want to hear
So make the others disappear
You’re all I need, You’re all I need
Chorus
You are all I need when I’m surrounded
You are all I need if I’m by myself
You fill me when I’m empty
There is nothing else
You’re all I need
When the morning comes
And Your mercy is renewed
There’s a fire in my bones
I’m not afraid to go alone
You’re all I need, You’re all I need
The sun on my face
I hear You whisper loud
You’re still the God that opens seas
Every flower, even me
You’re all I need, You’re all I need
Chorus
I’m drawn to everything that You do
Nothing compares with You
Chorus
My Heavenly Father Loves Me
From the album Beautiful Dawn
Whenever I hear the song of a bird
Or look at the blue, blue sky
Whenever I feel the rain on my face
Or the wind as it rushes by
Whenever I touch a velvet rose
Or walk by a lilac tree
I’m glad that I live in this beautiful world
Heavenly Father created for me
He gave me my eyes that I might see
The color of butterfly wings
He gave me my ears that I might hear
The magical sound of things
He gave me my life, my mind, my heart
I thank him reverently
For all his creations of which I’m apart
Yes, I know Heavenly Father loves me
He gave my life, my mind, my heart
I thank him reverently
For all his creations of which I’m apart
Yes, I know Heavenly Father loves me
Echoes
From the album Beautiful Dawn
Long ago and faraway
You were held in another place
And you were whispered sweet words of peace
And you were wrapped in the Arms of Mercy
Soon you won’t remember those days
Soon you won’t recall His voice or His face
But baby, sometimes if you’re still…
Chorus:
You will hear echoes
Heavenly echoes
Reminding you of another time and place
Like waking from an old familiar dream
You will hear echoes
You may have feelings hard to understand
Like you’re a stranger in a foreign land
When your homesick spirit feels alone
Remember, remember this was not your first home
Chorus
There may be times it seems
Heaven never happened
But baby, there will be angels
Waiting to send you
Chorus
For All You’ve Done
From the album Beautiful Dawn
Oh cleanser of the mess I’ve made
Upon the hill our places trade
Stretched on a cross Your body crushed
By human hands You formed from dust
Chorus
How wonderful Your mercy is
How awesome are Your ways
I come, I come
To worship You
For all You’ve done
Oh cleanser of the mess I’ve made
Your boundless love for me portrayed
With patience for my learning curve
By holding back what I deserve
Chorus
Oh cleanser of the mess I’ve made
With everything at Your feet laid
I watch as all my cares erode
And from my soul these words explode
Chorus

Lyrics:
“If I Only Had Today”
Hilary Weeks
It seems like I’ve watched a million sunsets
And stared at a thousand full moons
Sometimes it feels like I’ve been here forever
And sometimes it all feels brand new
I could never count the heartbeats
From the day I was born until now
But not a single one goes unnoticed
By Him who breathes life in me somehow
But if there were no more tomorrows
If I knew that I could not stay
I know how I’d spend every moment
If I only had today
I’d hold you and listen
And I’d let the dishes sit in the sink
I’d tell you I love you over and over
And for once I’d just let the phone ring
Then I’d remind you of forever
And how our love would never change
If I only had today
I’d wake up before the sun did
And I’d watch as you quietly sleep
I’d pray for time to move slowly
Knowing the moment won’t keep
All the gifts that Heaven has given
Every blessing that’s come my way
Wouldn’t mean anything without you
So if I only had today
I’d hold you and listen
I’d memorize every detail of your face
I’d tell you I love you over and over
I wouldn’t let excuses get in the way
Then I’d remind you of forever
And how our love would never change
If I only had today
There’s no time like the present
Life doesn’t come with any guarantees
The sun will set and time won’t wait
So while I have today
I’ll hold you and listen
I’ll let the dishes sit in the sink
I’ll tell you I love you over and over
For once I’ll just let the phone ring
And I’ll remind you of forever
And how our love will never change
Because I have today
“Faultless”
Hilary Weeks
When the sun sets and another day is over
I think about the person I wanna be
When I hold up a mirror to my life
Sometimes I don’t find who I was hoping to see
I made mistakes today and I’ll probably make mistakes tomorrow
I couldn’t save myself no matter how I beg or borrow
I’m gonna need His grace
On that day
On the day of grace
Through the Sinless One
My sins will be washed away
And I’ll stand worthy
Only because He stands by me
With mercy
And love without end
He will lift me
So I’ll never fall again
Then He’ll present me
Faultless
Faultless before God
If my sins were drops of water
And tried to hold them with my hands closed tight
Some would slip through right past my fingers
I couldn’t catch them all no matter how hard I tried
But there are hands that have my name forever written on them
The price was paid and not a single soul will be forgotten
As we receive His grace
On that day
On the day of grace
Through the Sinless One
My sins will be washed away
And I’ll stand worthy
Only because He stands by me
With mercy
And love without end
He will lift me
So I’ll never fall again
Then He’ll present me
Faultless
Faultless before God
“Just Let Me Cry”
Hilary Weeks
I believe that everything happens for a reason
We’re not just tossed by the wind or left in the hands of fate
But sometimes life sends a storm that’s unexpected
And we’re forced to face our deepest pain
When I feel the heartache begin to pull me under
I dig my heels in deep and I fight to keep my ground
Still at times the hurt inside grows stronger
And there’s nothing I can do but let it out
Just let me cry
I know it’s hard to see
But the pain I feel
Isn’t going away today
Just let me cry
Till every tear has fallen
Don’t ask when and don’t ask why
Just let me cry
When I agreed that God could put this heart inside me
I understood that there would be a chance that it would break
But I know He knows exactly how I’m feeling
And I know in time He’ll take the pain away
But for now
Just let me cry
I know it’s hard to see
But the pain I feel
Isn’t going away today
Just let me cry
Till every tear has fallen
Don’t ask when and don’t ask why
Just let me cry
I have felt joy the kind that makes my heart want to sing
And so my tears are not a surrender
I know I feel that way again
But for now
For this moment
Just let me cry
I know it’s hard to see
But the pain I feel
Isn’t going away today
Just let me cry
Till every tear has fallen
Don’t ask when and don’t ask why
Just let me cry
I believe that everything happens for a reason
“Tender Behind the Mercy”
Hilary Weeks
A candle sits in darkness
Until there burns a flame
And a river dry and barren
Must wait for the gift of rain
Like the river I have thirsted
He has filled my cup
Instead of just one tiny flame
He gives me the sun
He’s the tender behind the mercy
The unconditional in love
And when I need forgiveness
He’s the Redeeming in Son
More and more I see
He’s the tender behind the mercy
I’ve had moments in the spotlight
And days I’ve wished to hide
In sunshine or in the shadows
He is by my side
CHORUS Repeat
More than once I’ve added to the pain he bore in Gethsemane
Yet gentle as a morning breeze His love reaches out to me
CHORUS Repeat
Reaching
(Carolyn Arends)
There’s a time I can recall
Four years old and three feet tall
Trying to touch the stars and the cookie jar
And both were out of reach
And later on in my high school
It seemed to me a little cruel
How the right words to say always seemed to stay
Just out of reach
Well I should not have thought it strange
That growing causes growing pains
‘Cause the more we learn the more we know
We don’t know anything
But still it seems a tragic fate
Living with this quiet ache
The constant strain for what remains
Just out of reach
We are reaching for the future
We are reaching for the past
And no matter what we have we reach for more
We are desperate to discover
What is just beyond our grasp
But maybe that’s what heaven is for
There are times I can’t forget
Dressed up in my Sunday best
Trying not to squirm and to maybe learn
A bit of what the teacher would teach
And later lying in the dark
I felt a stirring in my heart
And though I longed to see what could not be seen
I still believed
I guess I shouldn’t think it odd
Until we see the face of God
The yearning deep within us tells us
There’s more to come
So when we taste of the divine
It leaves us hungry every time
For one more taste of what awaits
When heaven’s gates are reached
Repeat chorus
I believe that’s what heaven is for
There’s a time I can recall
Four years old and three feet tall
Trying to touch the stars and the cookie jar
And both were out of reach
“He Loves Me”
Hilary Weeks
Don’t it seem sometimes like the world is falling
And you’re standing underneath
You’ll never get out from under it
Or at least that’s how it feels
With a load so heavy and the days so long
You can barely breathe
And the only thing that keeps you standing
Is getting on your knees
When I need that burden lifted
When my strength is gone
There is one thing
That keeps me holding on
Deeper than my heart can hide
Stronger than I feel inside
More than I realize
He loves me
Steady as the day goes by
Longer than the reach of time
Enough to give His life
He loves me
I have felt it in the darkest night
When He stayed with me till dawn
On the days when I’m too weak to walk
He carries me along
Above the noise and the clatter down deep in my soul
In the middle of my pain
He tells me I can make it
And He promises to stay
In a world where nothing’s certain
I can count on this
There is no love
No love truer than His
CHORUS
Repeat
“Now”
Hilary Weeks
I was blind
Walking in the dark
Until I saw your light
You opened my eyes and lit the path before me
Clearly
And now I see
A heart of stone
Guarded by pain
Until I found your love
You broke down the walls, rebuilt the trust inside me
Patiently
And now I feel
Abandoned and lost
Unsure of my worth
Until I felt your grace
On Calvary’s cross you gave your life to save me
Willingly
And now I know
“Take Me There”
Hilary Weeks
There is a place where every tear drop that falls is counted
And every piece of the heart that’s been broken is put back together
A place where healing begins
And the hurting ends
Take me there
I’m ready to go
Cause I can’t carry this by myself anymore
Wrap me up
Hold me tight in Mercy’s arms
Let your sweet, sweet peace
Pour over me
And heal my soul
On the wings of this prayer
Take me there
There is a place where the past doesn’t cast any shadows
Where love fills the corners of the heart and little by little
Dreams dare to be dreamed again
Only broken know the way there
Cause they’ve walked Redemptions road
CHORUS Repeat
I need your name
I need your grace
Oh to lead to that place
Please take me to the place
Where you can heal my heart
Where you can heal my soul
Where you can heal me
CHORUS Repeat
“It Would Never Be Enough”
Hilary Weeks, Tyler Castleton, Lowell Alexander
If pen and paper could script God’s glory
And speak of His wondrous love
Every chapter ever written would never be enough
If words and music could fill the Heavens
And sing of His grace from above
Every chorus ever offered would never be enough
If all of our praises for ever more
Were each grain of sand on ten thousand shores
Alleluia
Alleluia
I would never be enough
If all the ages were but an instant
To worship and lift Him up
Countless lifetimes of endless moments
Would never be enough
CHORUS Repeat
