All The Way

Thinking everything is going just right,
You're in control of your life.
You believe you've got it all together,
but not quite.
Every day the burdens get bigger.
They try to take control.
It's gonna take more than you alone
To make it through
There is only one place you can turn
to make things right.
There's only one who can give you life
And make you whole.
There is one who will stay by your side
In the middle of the storm.
He will never leave you behind.
My Lord is always there.
There's a choice that needs to be made.
You're the only one who can make it.
He will make your life complete.
You'll be whole again.
Chorus: All you have to do is release control.
He'll take your burdens all away.
Just remember that you're not alone.
He'll be with you all the way.
Bridge: You need him here right now.
You need him here and he'll show you how
The joy he gives will change your life.
Chorus 2x

The River

I was living my life completely in line
With the ways of the world.
What I thought was a good time
Was tearing me apart, both my heart and soul,
And I knew something was missing.
I had searched high and low,
But I couldn't find the answers
To the questions in my mind.
I knew I needed someone
To bring me through this time.
My soul, it needed cleansing,
But I didn't know where to turn.
Right then the Lord reached out to me
And then I said...
Chorus: Take me to the river.
Wash away my sins and cleanse my soul.
Take me to the river.
Lord, make me whole.
I started living my life completely in line
With the ways of the Lord.
I was learning that I could be
An influence to those all around,
And they saw something was missing.
They came to me for help,
So I showed them where to turn.
Right then the Lord reached out to them
And then they said...
Chorus
Pull me under. Rescue me and bury me.
Bridge: Lord, wash away my foolish pride
And all the sin I try to hide.
Destroy deceit and all the lies,
The things that tear me up inside.
Rescue me and bury me
In the grave that sets me free.
The blood that brings eternity
Will take my life away from me.
Take the life that I once knew
Replace it with a life that's new.
Show me what I am to do
Fill me up with you.
With your presence, cover me.
I want others to see
Just how great you can be.
Chorus 2x
Pull me under. Rescue me and bury me.

By Your Love
04:05
|
|||
|
There they go again, talking about each other,
Breaking each other's hearts.
Forgetting that they are sisters and brothers.
Wearing Christ's name should set them apart.
Their actions speak louder than words.
Their love is what should be heard.
Chorus: They will know you by your love.
By the compassion that you show,
You answer the need and don't turn away.
And it's by your love that they will know
That you're a Christian.
It's by your love.
He doesn't wear your brand or look as good as you do.
Turn your back is what you'll do.
Don't you know Christ Jesus died for him, too.
It wasn't just for you.
Your actions speak louder than words.
Your love is what should be heard.
Chorus
Bridge: Tear down the walls of prejudice
And build up every man.
Break the barriers built by the tongue.
If you believe, you can.
Chorus 2x

God's Children
06:10
|

|
Everyone who lives is a child of God.
It doesn't matter who you are.
He is our Lord. He is our maker.
Yet he is the one who wants us nearer to him.
He takes pride in all we do for him
Though we don't deserve his love.
He will carry you when you can't stand on your own.
Chorus: We are all God's children
All Gods pride
We are all God's children
All Gods pride
We belong to him. He is our Father
And we are his children.
He loves no one over another
He loves us all just the same
He is our Father. He is our God.
Yet he is the one who will love us no matter what we've done.
He takes pride in all we do for him
Though we don't deserve his love
He will carry you when you can't stand on your own
Chorus
Bridge: He'll never turn his back on his children
He'll always be right by your side
When you need him, he will come running
You have nothing to fear, he hears your cries
He takes pride in all we do for him
Though we don't deserve his love
He will carry you when you can't stand on your own
Chorus

I Belong To You
04:29
|
|||
|
I belong to you
And I can never run away
From the love that you've given me
I belong to you
You have captured my heart
And since then I haven't been the same
I belong to you
And you're the only one
Who could ever call me your own
And I belong to you
There is nobody else
That could ever take your place
Chorus: You've given your all to me
And I thank you
And you've made my life complete
And I thank you
I belong to you
And to nobody else
Only you are the owner of my heart
And I belong to you
And to you alone
And now I'm completely whole
Chorus
Bridge: I can't imagine how my life would be without you
I can't imagine how lost I would be
I can't see myself living without you
I can't describe how much you mean to me
(Repeat)
Verse 1

Little angel lay down your head
Close your eyes and go to sleep
There's no need for you to be afraid
You are safe in your Daddy's arms
You mean more than anything to me
And I love you so
So little angel don't be afraid
You are safe in my heart
Little angel I am here
To watch you as you learn and grow
Little angel my love for you
Is more than you'll ever know
You mean more than anything to me
And I love you so
So little angel don't be afraid
You are safe in my heart
Little angel you'll always be
Safe in my heart

Living life on the edge of a heartbreak,
some have nowhere to turn.
They wish someone would reach out to them.
We pass people on the street each day. They wonder
where is our source of joy?
And why won't we share some of it with them?
If we've got all the answers,
why can't we provide solutions?
We look at life with blinders on
we see no one but ourselves
Why can't we help the man who's fallen down?
Instead we point out his faults to him
How will that help him out?
Shouldn't he know us by the love we share?
If he's looking for a savior,
will he find that savior in us?
Chorus: We need love for one another
We need to show them that the Lord's alive and well
We're all sisters and brothers
We need love for one another
I've never thought of myself as an example
of what a Christian should be
I'll admit I'm not perfect
But I started thinking about those who don't know him
Do they know he lives in me?
Can I show them who he really is?
If they can't find him in me,
tell me, where will they turn?
Chorus
Bridge: Do we love (as Jesus loved)?
Do we show (that we care)?
Can we make a difference with the love we share?
We need love
Chorus

I don't know why you love me.
I don't know why you care.
Whenever I need you around me,
I don't know why you're always there.
I know that I don't deserve you.
I don't deserve you at all.
Yet you're always there to catch me
every time I fall.
Chorus: Someone else who could love me more,
I'll never find.
The way that you've made me yours
just blows my mind.
Oh, you blow my mind.
I don't know why you've saved me.
I don't know why I'm free.
I don't know why you were willing to take the pain
that was meant for me.
I know I'll never repay you
for saving me.
If you hadn't stood in my place,
I don't know where I'd be.
Chorus
Bridge: I know your love is unbelievable.
I know your love is inconceivable.
I never knew what love was
until I saw what you'd done for me...
There's something about your love.
I don't know why you love me.
I don't know why you care.
Whenever I need you around me,
I don't know why you're always there.
Chorus

Oh Lord, make me a child
impassioned for your ways
a trust that never strays,
make me a child.
Aglow with your light, a smile to your sight.
Make me a child in your arms.
Oh Lord, make me child
with love in a tender heart.
renew my simple heart,
make me a child.
From morning's light to evening's night,
make me a child in your arms.
Repeat Verse 1

Oh, Jesus...
I know you saved me from my sin.
and Jesus...
I believe you're coming back again.
I put my trust in you, and I could never doubt,
Because your love, oh Lord, it makes me want to sing and shout
I'll shout your Holy name
Chorus: I have a sweet, sweet deliverance from the sins in my life
I never knew life could be so good
I have a sweet, sweet deliverance from the things that can bring me down.
I have a sweet, sweet deliverance from the sins in my life
and now my life's complete.
I'll have a sweet, sweet home in Heaven forevermore.
Oh Jesus...
There's no other choice I can make.
and Jesus...
There's no other road I can take.
I have a friend in you, and I know you'll never walk away.
I belong to you, and I know you're in my heart to stay
Lord, you live in me
Chorus
Bridge: I have a sweet, sweet deliverance
from the sins in my life.
I have a sweet, sweet freedom in Christ.
