Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing

Artist: Mark Schultz

Album: Broken & Beautiful (2006)

Appears on: WOW Hymns

## Lyrics

Come Thou fount of every blessing

Tune my heart to sing Thy praise

Streams of mercy never ceasing

Call for songs of loudest praise

Teach me some melodious sonnet

Sung by Flaming Tongues above

Praise His name, I'm fixed upon it

Name of God's redeeming love

Thy love has blessed me

Thou has brought me to this place

And I know Thy hand will bring me

Safely home by Thy good grace

Jesus saw me when a stranger

Wandering from the fold of God

He to rescue me from danger

Bought me with His precious blood

Oh, to grace how great a debtor

Daily I'm constrained to be

Let Thy goodness like a fetter

Bind my wandering heart to Thee

Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it

Prone to leave the God I love

Here's my heart, oh, take and seal it

Seal it for Thy courts above

Here's my heart, oh, take and seal it

Seal it for Thy courts above

O that day when freed from sinning,

I shall see Thy lovely face;

Clothed then in blood washed linen

How I'll sing Thy sovereign grace;

Come, my Lord, no longer tarry,

Take my ransomed soul away;

Send thine angels now to carry

Me to realms of endless day.
I Will Love You

## Lyrics

I called the Lord in my distress

With darkness all around

The cords of death and godlessness

Had left me trapped and bound

But when the sound of my feeble cry

Finally reached His throne on high

He flew down from heaven

On the wings of the wind

And I found refuge in Him

(Chorus)

I will love you, Christ my Savior

I will ever sing your praise

Be my rock, my strength and fortress

Till I see you face to face

The Lord has kept all His promises

To be my strength and shield

He lights my path and trains my hands

For war on life's battlefield

And by Him I can leap over walls

All I have to do is call

He promises to be a shield for all

Who put their trust in Him

(Chorus x2)

Walk on the streets of Zion

Where trouble will be no more (No more heartache)

Where the lamb will lay down with the lion

And there'll be peace like never before (Talkin' 'bout peace y'all)

There won't be no pain and sorrow

He's gonna wipe every tear from our eyes (No more worries over there)

And the last will be first (forever) and everybody that thirsts (and ever)

Is gonna drink from the waters of life (forever and ever)

When I see you (When I see you, Lord, when I see you, Lord)

When I see you (When I see you, Lord, when I see you, Lord)

When I see you (See you)

Face to face (Face to face)

(I promise I will love you, love you forever)

I will love you

## Lyrics

I dont know whats waitng on me

In the future I just don't know

I don't know what I’ll be doing

10 years from now I just do know

But I believe that I'll be singing

Or teaching God's holy word

Ohh it’s in my heart

(Chorus)

It’s in my heart to serve the Lord

I'll be serving the Lord

Sometimes my road gets dark and dreary

I can't hardly find my way

Sometime my burdens get so heavy till can't stop having sleepless nigths and lonley days

But I beleive if I keep holding

God is gonna comfort me and keep me strong

(Chorus x3)

Now i've been singing for long, long time

I'm not gonna give

You know I've gotta made up mind

I've been lied on and mistreated by my so called friends

But if I had another chance

I'll do it all again

It’s in my heart

(Vamp)

It’s in my heart

I’ll be serving the Lord

I Need a Miracle

Artist: Third Day

Album: Miracle (2012)

Appears on: WOW Hits 2014

## Lyrics

Well, late one night, she started to cry and thought, "He ain't coming home"

She was tired of the lies, tired of the fight, but she didn't want to see him go

She fell on her knees and said, "I haven't prayed since I was young

But Lord above, I need a miracle"

(Chorus)

Well no matter who you are and no matter what you've done

There will come a time when you can't make it on your own

And in your hour of desperation

Know you're not the only one

Prayin', "Lord above, I need a miracle

I need a miracle"

He lost his job and all he had in the fall of '09

Now he feared the worst, that he would lose his children and his wife

So he drove down deep into the woods and thought he'd end it all

And prayed, "Lord above, I need a miracle"

(Chorus)

He turned on the radio to hear a song for the last time

He didn't know what he was looking for, or even what he'd find

The song he heard gave him hope and strength to carry on

And on that night they found a miracle

They found a miracle

And in your hour of desperation

Know you're not the only one

Prayin', "Lord above, I need a miracle"

(na, na, na, na)

"Lord above, I need a miracle"

## Lyrics

I've been trying to make sense of the sorrow that I feel

Holding on for life to the only thing that's real

I've only scratched the surface, I've barely had a taste

But just a glimpse draws my heart to change

And one sight of You lays my sin to waste

I don't need to see everything just more of You

(Chorus x2)

Take it all, take it all away

Magnify no other name

Open up, open up my eyes

To You

My sight is incomplete and I've made You look small

I've been staring at my problems for way too long

Re-align where my hope is set, until You're all that's left

But just a glimpse draws my heart to change

And one sight of You lays my sin to waste

I don't need to see everything just more of You

(Chorus x2)

(Bridge x2)

Oh God be greater than the worries in my life

Be stronger than the weakness in my mind

Be louder let your Glory come alive

Be magnified

## Lyrics

Why, why are You still here with me

Didn't You see what I've done?

In my shame I want to run and hide myself

But it's here I see the truth

I don't deserve You

(Chorus)

But I need You to love me, and I

I won't keep my heart from You this time

And I'll stop this pretending that I can

Somehow deserve what I already have

I need You to love me

I, I have wasted so much time

Pushing You away from me

I just never saw how You could cherish me

'Cause You're a God who has all things

And still You want me

(Chorus)

And I need You to love me, and I

I won't keep my heart from You this time

And I'll stop this pretending that I can

Somehow deserve what I already have

Your love makes me forget what I have been

Your love makes me see who I really am

Your love makes me forget what I have been

(Chorus)

I need You to love me

I need You to love me

I need You to love me

And I'll stop this pretending that I can

Somehow deserve what I already have

Somehow deserve what I already have

I need You to love me

I need You to

## Lyrics

I got a little hope in my pocket

I want to share of it with you

Just be careful that you don't drop it

Don't worry if you do

'Cause I've got broken down inside me

And I might just need some help

But I will get by

Hey, hey

And I've got demons in my history

Got bone beneath my skin

I've been taken by a mystery

Yes I've been taken in

And sometimes voices down inside me

Try to fight me for myself

I will get by

Hey, hey

(Chorus)

What have I got to live for

If there is nothing beating in my chest

And what have I got to live for

When this world starts turning

It's burning me up

I'm alright

I used to think love was just a barter

Second hand coincidence

What doesn't kill you just makes you harder

So I use my common sense

Keeping cold to keep my distance

Til you took my pride away

Now I will get by

Yeah, yeah

(Chorus)

But I am not afraid

No I am not afraid

And I will not go crazy

I got a little hope here in my pocket

Want to share of it with you

Just be careful that you don't drop it

Don't worry if you do

'Cause I've got voices down inside me

And I might just need some help

I will get by

Hey, hey

(Chorus)

What have I got to live for

There's nothing beating in my chest

And what have I got to live for

When this world starts turning

Burning me up

When my heart is hurting

I'm learning about love

When this world starts turning

It's burning me up

I'm alright

## Lyrics

Wish I didn't feel so helpless

Wish I didn't act so selfish

Wish I didn't wring my hands night and day

My hair was a little bit smoother

My jeans fit a little bit looser

And I always knew the right things to say

And I wish I wouldn't hide what's been going inside

And I wish you wouldn't get scared and run away

(Chorus)

Wish I was doin' better with all the things that matter

I guess I got some learnin' to do

Wish everyone had someone who'll hold' em and who'll love' em

The way I'm always gonna love you

I wish wishes came true

I wish there was a cure for cancer

Wish somebody had an answer

And all God's children never got hurt

I wish Eve never broke that apple

Young men never went to battle

And I didn't get so mad at the world

I wish I was more like Jesus and could pickup all the pieces

And make a better life for my baby girl

(Chorus)

Wishes came true

For everything I'm wishin' I know someone's up there listenin'

So I'll say my prayers when I go to bed

Oh I'll pray my wishes come true

(Chorus)

Wishes came true

I know wishes come true

I wish (I wish)

## Lyrics

In Christ alone will I glory

Though I could pride myself in battles won

For I've been blessed beyond measure

And by His strength alone, I overcome

Oh, I could stop and count successes

Like diamonds in my hands

But these trophies could not equal

To the grace, by which I stand

(Chorus)

In Christ alone I place my trust

And find my glory in the power of the cross

In every victory let it be said of me

My source of strength, my source of hope

Is Christ alone

In Christ alone will I glory

For only by His grace I am redeemed

Only His tender mercy

Could reach beyond my weakness to my need

Now I seek no greater honor

Than just to know Him more

And to count my things but losses

To the glory of the Lord

(Chorus x2)

My source of strength, my source of hope

Is Christ alone

## Lyrics

It's Christmas time and time for a carol

Time to sing about the little King

To fill the bowl and roll out the barrel

Have ourselves a fling

We greet a friend or welcome a stranger

Let him sing or cheer him on his way

And celebrate the child in the manger

Born on Christmas day

Good cheer for you and for me

With pleasure and glee to share

Oh, we're so happy to be together

On yuletide square

It looks like snow

And falls like snow

Take a moment

Take a look about and say

As snowflakes fall

Merry Christmas to one and all

Sleep well, little children, wherever you are

Tomorrow is Christmas beneath every star

Soon the snowflakes will fall, and tomorrow you'll see

Every wish, one and all, waiting under the tree

Sleep well, little children, pleasant dreams through the night

Tomorrow is Christmas, all merry and bright

Soon you'll hear the bells ring, time for dreams to come true

As the world waits, you dream

Merry Christmas to you!

It's hard to stand on shifting sand

It's hard to shine in the shadows of the night

You can't be free, if you don't reach for help

And you can't love, if you don't love yourself

But there is hope when my faith runs out

Cause I'm in better hands now

(Chorus)

It's like the sun is shining when the rain is pouring down

It's like my soul is flying though my feet are on the ground

So take this heart of mine, there's no doubt

I'm in better hands now

I am strong, all because of you

I stand in awe of every mountain that you move

I am changed, yesterday is gone

I am safe from this moment on

There's no fear when the night comes round

I'm in better hands now

(Chorus)

(Instrumental break)

(Chorus)

It's like the sun is shining when the rain is pouring down

It's like my soul is flying though my feet are on the ground

It's like the world is silent even though I know it isn't true

It's like the breath of Jesus that's right here in this room

So take this heart of mine, there's no doubt

I'm in better hands now

I'm in better hands now

## Lyrics

Come down to the river, come and let yourself in

Make good on a promise to never hurt again

If you're lost and lonely, you're broken down

Bring all of your troubles, come lay 'em down

All you sinners and the weak at heart

All you helpless on the boulevards

Wherever you are now, whatever evil you've found

Bring all of your troubles, come lay 'em down

(Bridge)

We're all tied to the same old failings

Finding shelter in things we know

We're all dirty, like corrupted small towns

We'll bring our troubles, bring our troubles

And lay 'em down

All you rich men and the high above

To all of those with and without love

All you burdened and broken down

Bring all of your troubles, come lay 'em down

Come lay 'em down

Come lay 'em down

Come lay 'em down

Come all you broken

Come all you helpless

Come all you helpless

If you could soldier on

Headstrong into the storm

I'll be here waiting on the other side

Don't look back

The road is long

The first days of the war are gone

Take back your former throne and turn the tide

(Chorus)

Cause if you never leave home, never let go

You'll never make it to the great unknown till you

Keep your eyes open, my love

So tell me you're strong, tell me you see

I need to hear it, will you promise me to

Keep your eyes open, my love

Just past the circumstance

The first light, a second chance

No child could ever dance the way you do

Oh, tear down the prison walls

Don't start the curtain call

Your chains will never fall until you do

(Chorus)

Open up your eyes

The weight is unbroken

Open up your eyes

Keep your eyes open

(Bridge)

Don't let the night become the day

Don't take the darkness to the grave

I know pain is just a place

The will has been broken

Don't let the fear become the hate

Don't take the sadness to the grave

I know the fight is on the way

When the sides have been chosen

(Chorus)

So tell me you're strong, tell my you see

I need to hear it, will you promise me to

Keep your eyes open, my love

Keep your eyes, keep your eyes open

If You say go

We will go

Step out on the water

## Lyrics

You're movin' faster than an outbound train

Tryin' to find a way to outrun pain

And every time you start to come undone

You always start to run

My heart is breaking for you, I admit

It's hard to watch you fall apart like this

And I can't begin to know your sorrow

I have not walked far inside your shoes

And I wish you would let me

Love you through this

(Chorus)

'Cause I'll stay with you (even in your darkest night)

Wait with you (for a little sign of light)

Cry with you (if the answers never come)

I'll be the one who

Hopes with you (there will be a better day)

So hold onto (every little piece of faith)

As long as it takes, I'll stay

And if He sees a sparrow fall or fly

Watches the lilies open to the sky

Then how much more does He love you and I

Sometimes it's hard to just believe it's true

But if you can't, I will stand believing for you

(Chorus)

Let me be still and quiet

Let me be Love's reminder

Let me be the one who's meant to

Be the arms that Jesus sent you

## Lyrics

(Intro)

I dedicate this song to recession

Depression and unemployment

This song's for you

Today's a new day, but there is no sunshine

Nothing but clouds, and it's dark in my heart

And it feels like a cold night

Today's a new day, but where are my blue skies

Where is the love and the joy that you promised me?

Tell me it's alright

(I'll be honest with you)

(Pre-Chorus)

I almost gave up, but a power that I can't explain

Fell from heaven like a shower

(When I think how much better I'm gonna be when this is over)

(Chorus)

I smile, even though I'm hurt, see I smile

I know God is working so I smile

Even though I've been here for a while

I smile

Smile

It's so hard to look up when you've been down

Sure would hate to see you give up now

You look so much better when you smile, so smile

Today's a new day, but there is no sunshine

Nothing but clouds, and it's dark in my heart

And it feels like a cold night

Today's a new day, tell me where are my blue skies

Where is the love and the joy that you promised me?

Tell me it's alright

(The truth is)

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

(Post-Chorus)

Smile for me

Can you just smile for me

Smile for me

Can you just smile for me

(Refrain)

Oh, oh, oh (you look so much better when you)

Oh, oh, oh (you look so much better when you)

Oh, oh, oh (you look so much better when you)

Oh, oh, oh (you look so much better when you)

Oh, oh, oh (you look so much better when you)

(And while you're waiting)

Oh, oh, oh (you look so much better when you)

(And while you're praying)

Oh, oh, oh (you look so much better when you)

(Look in the mirror)

Oh, oh, oh (you look so much better when you)

(Always remember)

You look so much better when you smile

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

(Refrain)

I don’t want you you to just be happy

Because then you have to have something happening

I want you to have joy

Because can’t nobody take that from you

I see you smile!!

## Lyrics

I wish that I could break all the mirrors in my mind

The ones that lie to me and steal away my pride

I wish I could be blind to everything that haunts me

If I use my heart, I can see Your face

You show me the real me

(Chorus)

It's You that I search for

It is You I can't live without

Your hope is what I long for

When nothing's left in me

It's You

This world is always trying to take a piece of me

But You are always there to make me feel complete

If I can keep my eyes on what You have for me

I will face the truth, and never look away

You'll show me the real me

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

When I have nowhere else to go

And I can't find my way out

Your light it comes to guide me

I can't hide You show me the real me

## Lyrics

Tell me what do you believe in

Does your life have rhyme or reason

Something in your heart that makes you care

I hope that you don't mind me asking but I've got a burning passion

I need to know forever you'll be there

(Chorus)

I can't make it clearer or put it any other way

If you can't see the simple truth I do

Then there is nothing in this world that's left to say

Jesus loves you

I know I don't have all the answers and

I have wasted many chances to prove to you a fate that lives inside

I pray that there will be break through cause

I can't be the one to save you

God knows how many times I've tried

(Chorus)

I can't explain

I can't deny so many times for you

I've cried and to see you on your knees tonight

(Chorus)

I can't make it clearer or put it any other way

To know you know the simple truth I do

To know that you're forever has been changed

Cause Jesus loves you

Jesus loves you

Jesus loves you

I can only imagine what it will be like

When I walk by Your side

I can only imagine what my eyes will see

When Your face is looking at me

Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel

Will I dance for You Jesus or in awe of You be still

Imagine, oh, I can only imagine

I can only imagine all creation bowed down

The whole universe saying Your name out loud

I can only imagine all our broken lives

Resurrected in the healing light

Surrounded by Your glory, what will my heart feel

Will I dance for You Jesus or in awe of You be still

Will I stand in Your presence or to my knees will I fall

Will I sing Hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all

I can only imagine, oh, I can only imagine

Surrounded by forgiveness, what will my heart feel

Will I dance for You Jesus or in awe of You be still

Will I stand in Your presence or to my knees will I fall

Will I sing Hallelujah, will I be able to speak at all

I can only imagine

Just imagine, oh

I will kneel in the dust

At the foot of the cross

Where mercy paid for me

Where the wrath I deserve

It is gone, it has passed

Your blood has hidden me

Mercy, mercy

As endless as the sea

I'll sing Your hallelujah

For all eternity

We will lift up the cup

And the bread we will break

Remembering Your love

We were fallen from grace

But You took all our shame

And nailed it to a cross

(Chorus x2)

(Bridge x6)

May I never lose the wonder

Oh, the wonder of Your mercy

May I sing Your hallelujah

Hallelujah, Amen

I will kneel in the dust

At the foot of the cross

Where mercy paid for me

## Lyrics

Something's in the air tonight

The sky's alive with a burning light

You can mark my words something's about to break

And I found myself in a bitter fight

While I've held your hand through the darkest night

Don't know where you're coming from but you're coming soon

(Pre-Chorus)

To a kid from Oregon by way of California

All of this is more than I've ever known or seen

(Chorus)

Come on and we'll sing, like we were free

Push the pedal down, watch the world around fly by us

Come on and we'll try, one last time

I'm off of the floor one more time to find you

And here we go, there's nothing left to choose

And here we go, there's nothing left to lose

So I packed my car and I headed east

Where I felt your fire and a sweet release

There's a fire in these hills, that's coming now

And I don't know much but I found you here

And I cannot wait another year

Don't know where you're coming from, but you're coming soon

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

I can still hear the trains out my window

From Hobart street to here in Nashville

I can still smell the pomegranates grow

And I don't know how hard this wind will blow

Or where we'll go

It's only the beginning when God is in it

All things are new

All things are new

I know it's darkest just before dawn

This might just be the hardest

Season you experience

I know it hurts; it won't be too long

You're closer than you think you are

You're closer than you've been before

Oh look to the sky, help is on the way

(Hook 1)

Something is moving, turning around

Seasons are changing

Everything is different now

Here comes the sun piercing the clouds

You're closer than you think you are

You're closer than you've been before

Look to the sky, help is on the way

Our God is faithful, faithful to say

(Vamp 2)

It's not over, It's not finished.

It's not ending, it's only the beginning.

It's not over, It's not finished.

It's not ending;

It's only the beginning

When God is in it

When God is in it

When God is in it, there is no limit.

When God is in it,

It's not over! (It's not over)

It's not over! (It's not over)

It's not over! (It's not over)

It's not over! (It's not over)

(Vamp)

It's not over (It's not over)

Until God says so (until God says so)

So I count it all joy

(So I count it all joy)

You make all things new

(You make all things new)

It's not over (It's not over)

Until God says so (until God says so)

So I count it all joy

(So I count it all joy)

It's not over, it's not over

It's not over, it's not over

(Vamp 2)

We believe it

We declare it

We decree it over you

It's not over when God, when God,

When God is in it.

No limits no boundary

I see you smiling

Life is tearing you apart

Looking good on the outside

I can feel your heart

You feel helpless and hopeless

Isolated and confused

You feel like life has no purpose

So let these words encourage you

(Chorus)

You shall live, and not die

Though you've been hurting for sometime

By faith, you shall live and not die

Though you have been hurting for sometime

By faith, you shall live

I see you standing there

With a towel in your hands

Getting ready to throw it in

Like no one really understands

They don't, don't understand

Here is what you must remember, yes

That you are in this for a reason

Don't give up, just keep the faith

Soon you will be walking in your season

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Just remember, just remember

He will never put more on you than you than you can bear

It may be hard right now, just know that He cares

You shall live

(I commend you to live)

Live

(It's your only option, yes it is)

Live

By faith you shall live

(You're gonna live through the hurt and the pain)

Live

(You're gonna live through the heartache and shame)

Live

By faith you shall live

Listen, listen, listen

I know you feel like giving up right now

'Cause you don't know which way to go

But I stopped by here to tell you

Just for a little while

You could always go to the Lord

(Chorus)

By faith you shall live, live, live

By faith you shall

You shall live and not die

Though you've been hurting for sometime

By faith you shall live and not die

## Lyrics

Singing sweetly, she passed by me

She knew, it seemed

That sound, that song was troubling me

Do tell

I don't know

Please, sir

Here we go

Sleepwalking, sleep, sleepwalking

Last night I awoke to an opera house full of empty seats

Performing Einstein on the Beach

You've stifled this too long and the dream inside is far too strong

You've got to, got to learn to let go. Let go!

Open your lips, let out a song

Open your heart, and let it sing

Open your lips, let out a song

Open your heart, and let it sing

Hey! Let go!

Hey! Let go!

## Lyrics

Remember when you couldn't wait

To show up early and find your place

Cause you didn't want to miss a thing

And your heart was open and ready for change

Oh, those days

You were never afraid to sing

Never afraid to lift your hands

Didn't care what people would think

(Chorus)

You were on fire

And church was more than a place

And people were more than faces

And Jesus was more than a name

Remember when you weren't ashamed

To tell your friends about your faith

A time when you felt the pain

Of just one lost soul that was slipping away

Your heart was soft, you had radiant eyes

But slowly the pressures and burdens of life

Pulled you into the dark of the night

But when did you lose your sight?

(Chorus)

Oh you were on fire

You let life put out the flame

But he's still calling out for you

Cause he wants to light your heart again

And set it on fire

Set it on fire

Turn your eyes, turn your eyes

And don't forget what it was like

(Chorus)

Set me on fire, set me on fire

I wanna hold God's people close

Wanna feel the power of Jesus' name

Set me on fire, set me on fire
