## Lyrics

Well, the past is playing with my head

And failure knocks me down again

I'm reminded of the wrong that I have said and done

And that devil just won't let me forget

(Chorus)

In this life, I know what I've been

But here in Your arms, I know what I am

I'm forgiven

I'm forgiven

And I don't have to carry the weight of who I've been

'Cause I'm forgiven

My mistakes are running through my mind

And I relive my days in the middle of the night

And I struggle with my pain, wrestle with my pride

Sometimes I feel alone, and I cry

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

When I don't fit in

And I don't feel like I belong anywhere

When I don't measure up to much in this life

Oh, I'm a treasure in the arms of Christ

(Chorus)

Cause I'm forgiven

I'm forgiven

And I don't have to carry the weight of who I've been

'Cause I'm forgiven

## Lyrics

I can’t do it without You

I’ve tried so many times, and I’ve failed

Lord I really need You in my life

Fall every time that You’re not in sight

Can’t go on without Your love, I can’t go on

Every time You arrive let my heart be open

Cause it's You I put my hope in

You give me love, give me strength, and You give me courage

Even though I don’t deserve it

I can’t go on without You

I don’t believe that I’d even want to

All I really wanna see is me becoming more and more like You

(Chorus)

Lord I really need You in my life

Fall every time that You’re not in sight

Can’t go on without your love, I can’t go on

And I don’t wanna face this world alone

I don’t wanna do this on my own

Can’t go on without Your love, I can’t go on

I see the need in my, life and I can’t deny

That You’re the reason I’m breathing I need You in my life

I’m on a new level and never will I be coming down

Lift me up when I’m feeling drowned inside the shame I found

And I believe what You said and You promised me

Now I constantly look for You to keep on watching me

I can’t go on without You, I don’t believe I’d ever want to

Never beyond You all I wanna see is me becoming like You

Lord I realize, can’t do it on my own

I need You close so You can help me make it through the storm

And when I fall I know, You’re there to pick me up

Brush me off and then You’re quick to bring me back inside Your love

I don’t know where to go now

I’m lost in this emotion

I’m giving You control now

Pull me up from the bottom of the ocean

I don’t know where to go now

I’m lost in this emotion

I’m giving You control now

You pull me up, pull me up when I’m going down

Yo, I could never let anything get between You and me

At times I’ve tried to drive solo, but I finished on "E"

My own anxiety blinded me that I just couldn't see

That You were always there and not once did You every leave me

I learned the hard way but I’m glad I can now say I’m free

Through all the turmoil You have opened my eyes to see

The greater love that You give, and never ask a fee

No I can say I can’t go on without your love in me

No I can say, No I can say, I can’t go on without your love in me

(Chorus x2)

## Lyrics

It's tulips and it's daisies, your favorite flowers lately

You think that I ain't listening, but you know I do

With your two lips on me baby, my head starts getting dazy

Don't give me a flower, what I want is you

(Chorus)

It happened on the day you put your hand in mine

You went up to my head just like a glass of wine

Girl, you spark my attention like a firefly

Make me happy to be alive

You move into a room like summer breeze at noon time

Baby, out of nine, I'd give you ten

Your love is like an ocean , surf and spray in motion

Baby, I'm a diver and I love to swim

(Chorus)

These are just simple words of mine

And though most of what I feel is hard to rhyme

Ain't it good to know your boy gave it a try? Oh, a try, yeah, yeah

(Chorus)

It'd take a thousand colors just to paint your eyes

Like saving grace, they raise me up to paradise

This ain't opinion, it's consensus from my heart and mind

You make me happy to be alive

## Lyrics

Bethlehem turns in tonight

A town lit up by candlelight

All the children tucked in tight

Bethlehem turns in tonight

The angels start their whispering

About the One they're welcoming

No one knows what's soon to be

As the angels start their whispering

(Chorus)

They sing glory in the highest

Come now, our King

We've been waiting

Come now, our King

Silence falls yet once again

The shepherds leave for Bethlehem

A Baby's cry soon welcomes them

Silence falls yet once again

(Chorus)

Glory, oh glory

You came here to save

Oh, Lord, we've been waiting

So come now, our King

Now my night has turned to day

An empty manger, empty grave

Baby born so I could say

Now my night has turned to day

(Chorus)

Oh, we sing glory in the highest

Come now, our King

We've been waiting

Come now, our King

Oh, come now, our King

## Lyrics

Okay, so, who doesn't own a cell phone?

Who brought back their permission slip?

Because I know nobody wants to stay home

While the rest of us go out and make a day of it

(Pre-Chorus)

'Cause theme parks are so much more fun when the sun's outside (Na-na-na-na-na)

And I lost my phone to the lake beneath the Batman ride (Na-na-na-na)

(Chorus)

They're starting something, and I don't want to begin it (I don't wanna begin it)

They're looking for trouble, but with me it won't be found (With me it won't be found)

And I regret that I'm completely out of daytime minutes (I don't wanna begin it)

And so I guess I'll have to wait a lot 'til 8 o'clock comes around

Okay, so, who doesn't own a cell phone?

Well, I don't need to ask my friends

Because I know mine was fastened to my jawbone

Thanks to all those nights and weekends

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

When it comes to relationships (I'm the dumbest one)

And I don't mean just with girls (I mean with everyone)

Your illustrations always point out just what's wrong with me

It's chapstick, and chapped lips, and things like chemistry

It's chapstick, and chapped lips, and things like

It's chapstick, and chapped lips, and things like

It's chapstick, and chapped lips, and things like chemistry

(Instrumental break)

Can I relate to you the way you relate to me?

Can you help me out with my chemistry?

I don't wanna be perceived the way I am

I just want to be perceived the way I am

In the middle of the night

When fear is closing in

In the middle of the night

You're greater still

In the middle of a fire

Your love is holding me

You are, You are my song

You're my hope, when hope is gone

When I'm a sparrow in a winter

You are a seed I find

When I'm a heart with the splinter

Your hot blood keeps me alive

If I could call you a color

You'd be the deepest of blues

If I have my pleasure of anything

You'd be the One that I'd choose

(Chorus)

Now it's crystal clear I'm falling for You

Now that I can see the mystery's revealed

Now I'm comin' clean

I can feel my fears released

Now it's crystal clear I'm falling for You

I'm soft like clay

Your hands they mold me

For You, I would run away

Just to hear You calling out my name

(Chorus)

I'm broken and empty

Without You, I'm blinded

I need You I need You near me, I need You near me

Ohh ohh

I'm falling

(Chorus)

Please catch me, I'm falling for You

Please catch me, I'm falling for You

Please catch me, I'm falling for You

Please catch me, I'm falling for You

You're alive

## Lyrics

I want you as you are, not as you ought to be

Won't you lay down your guard and come to Me?

The shame that grips you now is crippling

It breaks My heart to see you suffering

(Pre-Chorus)

Cause I am for you

I'm not against you

(Chorus)

If you wanna know

How far My love can go

Just how deep, just how wide

If you wanna see

How much you mean to Me

Look at My hands, look at My side

If you could count the times I'd say you are forgiven

It's more than the drops in the ocean

Don't think you need to settle for a substitute

When I'm the only love that changes you

(Pre-Chorus)

And I am for you

I'm not against you

I am for you

I'm not against you

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Open your heart

It's time that we start again

Open your heart

It's time that we start again

(Chorus)

The drops in the ocean

I am for you

I'm not against you

I am for you

I'm not against you

## Lyrics

Oh yes, I know this tension that you speak of

We're in the palm of a hand making a fist

It'd be best for one of us to speak up

But we prefer to pretend it does not exist

(Pre-Chorus)

And you can't see past the blood on my hands

To see that you've been aptly damned

To fail and fail again

(Chorus)

'Cause we're all guilty of the same things

We think the thoughts whether or not we see them through

And I know that I have been forgiven

And I just hope you can forgive me, too

So don't you dare blame me for

Prying open the door

That's unleashed the bitterness

That's here in the midst of this

Sometimes we live for no one but ourselves

And what we've been striving for

Has turned into nothing more

Than bodies limp on the floor

Victims of falling short

We kiss goodbye the cheek of our true love

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

You can forgive me, too

(Interlude)

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

You can forgive me. too

You can forgive me, too

You can forgive me

Can forgive me

Can forgive me

You can forgive me, too
Christmas Is All In The Heart

Album: The Music of Christmas (1995)

Appears on: WOW Christmas: Red

## Lyrics

In a one bedroom apartment

On the humble side of town

There stands a little Christmas tree

It looks a lot like Charlie Brown's

And underneath there's one little gift for him

And one little gift for her

After six months on the new job

They're still barely getting by

So in the way of decorations

There's nothing there to catch your eye

But both of them would be the first to say

We're together, we're gonna have the merriest Christmas anyway

(Chorus)

'Cause Christmas is all in the heart

That's where the feeling starts

And like a fire inside, it touches every part

'Cause Christmas is all in the heart

And even if no white snow falls

Well, that's all right because

The joy can still be found, wherever you are

'Cause Christmas is all, all in the heart

Two little blond haired boys with big dreams

Tried to sleep but sleep wouldn't come

And we'd be tearing into presents

Long before the break of dawn

With mom and dad and cameras making sure

We'd never forget that day, no, no, no

Now I'm the one who's taking pictures

In the middle of the night

Of my own blond little dreamers

That just can't wait until daylight

(Chorus)

And in my sleepy eyes the spark still glows

Well, I guess there's just some things a kid never outgrows

(Chorus)

No, it's not in the snow that may or may not fall

And it's not in the gifts around the tree

It's in the love Heaven gave, that night our Savior came

And that same love can still be found wherever you are

'Cause Christmas is all in the heart

And the joy can still be found, wherever you are

'Cause Christmas is all, all in the heart

It's all in the heart

All right

Gonna be all right

Check this out

All right

Gonna be all right

Do do…

One more

There was a boy who lay awake at night

Dreamin' what he would do with his life

What would it take to pay the rent in for that sunny day

That sunny day

I can't tell you what to do

You've got your dreams, I've got mine too

You can make it if you try

All I wanna say tonight is

(Chorus)

Follow your dreams and you will see

Anything you want you can achieve

Time to begin, fly like the wind

Breakin' down these walls you will be free

All right

Gonna be all right

Do do...

Now that little boy is all grown up

So you see that the little boy was me

And I came here to let you know

That I found that sunny day

That sunny day

I can't tell you what to do

The dreams you hold will get you through

The power you need comes from within

Really know it's in your hands

(Chorus)

I heard time and time again

How everybody's got a dream but they feel they won't win

'Cause somebody who was willin', who wanted to be chillin'

So they could never make it even if they were willin'

So we threw together this old school flow

So everybody in my generation oughta know

No matter what we take from this scene

Now you and me can follow our dreams

I can't tell you what to do

You've got your dreams, I've got mine too

You can make it if you try

Keep going

All right

Gonna be all right

Anything you want you can achieve

Gonna be all right

Breakin' down these walls you will be free

Keep going

There was a time when I heard drama in mono

It's to my left and right just like stereo

Problems circumstances do you feel me yo?

Need some clarity homie that's why I won't let my hair grow

Been acting the part like I got my own TV show

Anxiety just like an amateur on Apollo

Like Annie hope the sun will come out tomorrow

To pay my cell phone bill I guess I'm gonna have ta borrow

(Pre-chorus)

I won't bow to the sound of adversity

Won't let it get the best of me

When it seems impossible just keep on believing

I don't have to receive the report of the enemy

You can't go by what you see

Just follow the trust theory

(Chorus)

Doesn't really matter what he says

Doesn't really matter what she says

Doesn't really matter what they say

Because I say what did God say?

Doesn't really matter what the doc says

Doesn't really matter what the test says

Doesn't really matter what the world says

Because I say what did God say?

There's a mother somewhere crying this evening

The doctor told her that she could not conceive and

She's miscarried 6 times upon Stephen

That's her husband's name and he's from Cleveland

He said, "I love you" and he tried to console her

Prayed together, cried together, held one another

But something said to him that she's still gon' be a mother

He remembered what the doctor said and he said, "So what"

(Pre-Chorus)

Ephesians 6 don't mix the pharisee it twist

Walk and talk immaculate vision this

Be love there's a whole lot of hurting

Oh oh, oh oh

Calling all hands

Calling all feet to take a stand

Why sit around and wait for a miracle to come

When we can be one?

When we can be one

When we can be one

A little somethin'

Might feel like nothin'

But in His hands it's all we'll ever need

To speak life to the broken

Watch the blind eyes open

It's who He's calling you and me

To be

We can be the change, be the hope

We can be the arms that don't let go

We can be a light in the dark

We are, we are where it starts

Like we used to do

When the spirit of the Lord comes in

You got to move

And you gotta kick that dust off

Your shoutin' shoes

It's time to praise Him y'all

Are you ready to give God praise

When you're walking around

Acting like you don't know what to do

Now you're living large

Acting like the Lord never brought you through

Well don't you come around here

Trying to act all brand new

Come on and get loose y'all

Praise Him like you used to do

(Chorus)

Stand to your feet, show me what you got

I wanna see you dance, as soon as the beat drops

It's the Holy Ghost party you know it don't stop

Make it hot, now let me see you move

Spread your feet apart move your body over

Clap your hands then shake your shoulders

We're gonna bounce 'til the party's over

Come on now dance for Jehovah

(Chorus)

In the morning

You can praise Him in the evening

In and out of season

You've got a reason

If you don't know

Take a minute let me show you how

Pick 'em up and put 'em down

Everybody let's praise Him now

It's our brand new dance man

Come and feel the words we work

I put your hands in the air

Like we stuck in the church

I serve a God who can back up cancer

Catch the Holy Spirit move like a back up dancer

Cause it don't matter if you young or old

Rock ice so white so just lose control

Make you too cute for Christ surely you can say

They catch me on the floor now I'm 'bout to dance like it

We don't praise him like we used to

But we about to start

I don't care what you paid for those new shoes

Cause you got a new whip you don't shout no more

Soon as I hit the dance floor see me praising the Lord

When I praise the Lord like I did in the club

Got saved things changed now I move for God's love

Lax-a-daisy that's up my lane to act crazy

We 'bout to shout for Christ

I can't hide the God I serve

I got to let the world know

Where ever I go

I got to praise and serve the Lord

Oooh serve the Lord

King Darius, made a decree

There won't be no praying around here

Whosoever call on any God's name

Will be cast into the lion's den

Daniel didn't pay the king no attention

Three times a day he prayed to God anyway

When confronted with the consequences of the lion's den

I can hear old Daniel say

(Chorus)

All night, Daniel stayed in the lion's den

In the morning, to the king's surprise

God sent his Angels, to shut the lion's jaw

And Daniel was still alive

Daniel used the lions for a mattress and a pillow

And the Angels rocked Daniel to sleep

When he got up, Daniel let, everybody know

I'm not ashamed of the God I serve

(Chorus)

I don't (I don't have a closet religion)

I don't (I don't have a closet religion)

I'm not ashamed of the God I serve (I don't have a closet religion)

Ask the Hebrew boys, (I don't have a closet religion)

They'll tell you they're not ashamed (I don't have a closet religion)

How many of you are not ashamed (I don't have a closet religion)

Of the God you serve (I don't have a closet religion)

I don't (I don't have a closet religion)

I don't (I don't have a closet religion)

I don't (I don't have a closet religion)

Have a closet religion (I don't have a closet religion)

I'm not ashamed of God (I don't have a closet religion)

I'll tell the world (I don't have a closet religion)

I don't (I don't) (x15)

I got to let the world know

Where ever (where ever I go)

I gotta praise (I got to praise him)

I've got to praise him ( I got to praise him)

## Lyrics

(Chorus)

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call

No other reason at all but the sake of the call

Wholly devoted to live and to die for the sake of the call

Nobody stood and applauded them

So they knew from the start

This road would not lead to fame

All they really knew for sure

Was Jesus had called to them

He said "come follow Me" and they came

With reckless abandon, they came

Empty nets lying there at the water's edge

Told a story that few could believe

And none could explain

How some crazy fishermen agreed to go where Jesus lead

With no thought to what they would gain

For Jesus had called them by name

And they answered...

(Chorus)

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call

No other reason at all but the sake of the call

Wholly devoted to live and to die for the sake of the call

The sake of the call

Drawn like the rivers are drawn to the sea

There's no turning back, for the water cannot help but flow

Once we hear the Savior's call, we'll follow wherever He leads

Because of the love He has shown

And because He has called us to go

We will answer...

(Chorus)

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call

No other reason at all but the sake of the call

Wholly devoted to live and to die

Not for the sake of a creed or a cause

Not for a dream or a promise

Simply because it is Jesus who called

And if we believe we'll obey

(Chorus)

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call

No other reason at all but the sake of the call

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call

No other reason at all but the sake of the call

Wholly devoted to live and to die for the sake of the call

For the sake of the call

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call

No other reason at all

We will abandon it all

No other reason at all

We will abandon it all

## Lyrics

Hear the bells ringing

They're singing that you can be born again

Hear the bells ringing

They're singing Christ is risen from the dead

The angel up on the tombstone

Said He has risen, just as He said

Quickly now, go tell his disciples

That Jesus Christ is no longer dead

Joy to the word, He has risen, hallelujah

He's risen, hallelujah

He's risen, hallelujah

Deep calling deep

Calling deep

Calling to deep

Calling deep

Calling to deep

Calling deep

Calling to deep

In this ocean of my soul

There's a voice that calls and calls

Calls to you night and day

Using words i can not say

They are

Words of waiting, words of want

Without you, I'm undone

Calling to deeper love

Calling to higher truth

Calling to anything that leads me

Deeper and farther on with you

Calling to deep

Calling to deep

When you hear me on the wind

Hope You pull me closer in

When you see me in the night

Hope You'll lead me with

Your love

I want to be near You

Want to be known

Want my deep to find its home

(Chorus)

Calling to higher love

Calling to all that's true

Calling to anything that leads me

Deeper and farther on with You

I'm calling to deeper love

Anything that leads me

## Lyrics

Some days, I'm feelin' like I

Can't win, can't get it right and

Don't matter how hard I try

Today is not my day

When it feels like I'm going crazy

And it looks like nothing's changing

Come sun, come rainy day

You are still the same

(Chorus)

In the dark, in the light

In the morning and night

In the good, in the hurt

In the places I hide

When I rise, when I fall

You'll be there through it all

At the start, at the end

In the center of, the center of it

Some nights, I lay awake and I

Can't push these thoughts away

I'm worried where I'm gonna go

Where I'm gonna be, are You gonna

Be there for me?

When it feels like the doors are closin'

Gotta trust that you're doin' somethin'

Come sun, come rainy day

You are all I need

(Chorus)

(Brisge)

There will be days I will forget

Everything you've done for me

But when I go back there again

I'm reminded

(Normal song only)

In the dark, In the light

In the morning and the night

(Remix only)

Yeah, if my life was a metaphor

I would simply ask for more

Sun inside my daytime I'm tired of these life storms

Every raindrop represents every babe lost

But Jesus Your my umbrella, let the rain fall

Every morning there You are just to kiss me

At late at night You just tell me how You miss me

So I find You when I rise, when I fall

And You're there in the center of it

(In the center of it all)

(Chorus)

Yeah, yeah

Oh, the center of it all

Oh, the center of it all

In the loss, in the win

In the beauty and the sin

At the start, at the end

In the center of, the center of it

## Lyrics

There is a call that resounds in my ear

It's calling me deeper, deeper

Breaks every failure and removes all my fears

It's calling me deeper, deeper

See the place that I'm in

Can no longer contain my destiny

And this growth has its pain

But I adhere to the call inside of me

(Chorus)

It's calling me

Deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper

It's calling me deeper, deeper

Deeper, deeper

There is a call that resounds in my ear

It's calling me deeper, deeper

Breaks every failure and removes all my fears

It's calling me deeper, deeper

See the place that I'm in

Can no longer contain my destiny

Yeah and growth has its pain

But I adhere to the call inside of me

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

This can't be it

God is so much bigger than this

I was at a point where I wanted to quit

Then I heard the call

Stronger, stronger, stronger

Stronger, wiser, better, calling me deeper

Stronger, wiser, better, calling me deeper

Ooh, He's calling me deeper

Ooh, He's calling me deeper

Can no longer contain my destiny

Though it may have some pain

But I adhere to the call inside of me

I like it simple and

I'm not a superman

I never said that I was more than that

I'm not a wannabe

I'm who I wanna be

And I intend to be

How you created me

(Pre-Chorus)

I, I need

Somebody on the inside

I, I want

Somebody who can set me free

I'm not

The only one who feels like this

I've got

A few others around me

Hey

(Chorus)

Hey

Let me hear you say

Make some noise if you feel this way

Hey

If you've got a friend like that

Hey

Let's scream and shout

If you know what I'm talkin' about

Anybody got a friend like that?

I once was little and

I always had a plan

You thought my friendliness was just an act

Hey

I'll be your friend indeed

And you can count on me

And I can guarantee

Your friend I'll always be

Hey

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

Does anyone out there feel alone?

Can anyone hear me?

Whoa, whoa

Down and out your heart is cold

It's never easy

Whoa, whoa

But if you believe that there is hope

Then sing it with me

(Chorus x2)

I, I need

Somebody on the inside

I, I want

Somebody who can set me free

I'm not

The only one who feels like this

They encamp all around me

So i have no fear

They tell me He loves me

Whisper in my ear

They come from the throne above

And before His face

They carry the light of Love

Cover me with grace

They wanna to see me

Complete this race

These are my angels, over me

(Chorus)

I got angels watching over me (watching my way both night and day)

I got angels watching over me (fanning away the hurt, the pain)

I got angels watching over me (they'll never fly away)

Angels over me

They silently hold me

With their mighty wings

When I cry the console me

With the songs they sing

When I sleep they watch over me

Fan away evil things

These are my angels, over me

Said we don't even notice

The protection they give

Fell as asleep on the road, and yet

I continued to live

Sometimes I even wished that they

Wouldn't answer my call

But unwavering angels

They just won't let me fall/

## Lyrics

I don’t understand

No I can’t comprehend

This power that draws me to you

But I know for the cross

I’ll consider all lost

In an effort to tell of the truth

That the world may know

That the world may know

That you have been heaven sent to us

(Chorus)

I’ll be fearless for You

I’ll be fearless for You

Take me I’m Yours

I’ll be fearless for You

All the times that I’ve failed

When my doubt has prevailed

These are the moments I’m giving to you

Cause I can’t be ashamed

No I can’t fear the pain

When it comes time to be living proof

So the world may see

That the captives are freed

‘Cause you have been heaven sent to us

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Unwilling to bend

Unwilling to break

Headstrong I’ll stand

No matter what it takes

## Lyrics

Take control of the atmosphere

Take me far away from here

There is no better loss than to lose myself in you

In a parachute to glide, I am captive in your sky

Surrender has somehow become so beautiful

(Chorus)

Take control of the atmosphere

Take control of the atmosphere

You can take my world, you can fill the air

Take control

Take control

(Bridge x2)

It's such a beautiful surrender

It's such a beautiful surrender

Move me up through the darkest clouds

Till I've lost in the sun every shadow of doubt

There is no better find than to find myself with you

In a fog you are all I see

I'm inviting you closer with each time I breathe

Surrender has somehow become so beautiful

(Chorus)

(Bridge x2)

(Instrumental break)

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

And I'm calling out

Would you take control?

And I'm calling out

Appears on: WOW Hits 2007 DVD

## Lyrics

I’m not a stranger, no I am yours

With crippled anger and tears that still drip sore

A fragile frame aged, with misery

And when our eyes meet, I know you see

(Chorus)

I do not wanna be afraid

I do not wanna die inside just to breathe in

I'm tired, of feeling so numb

Relief exists I find it when, I am cut

I may seem crazy, or painfully shy

And these scars wouldn't be so hidden

If you would just look me in the eye

I feel alone here and cold here

Though I don't want to die

But the only anesthetic that makes me feel anything kills inside

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

I am not alone

I am not alone

I'm not a stranger, no I am yours

With crippled anger

And tears that still drip sore

(Chorus)

But I do not wanna be afraid

I do not wanna die inside just to breathe in

I'm tired, of feeling so numb

Relief exists I found it when, I was cut

## Lyrics

(x2)

I'm walking in the favor of God

His grace and mercy has brought me this far

I will believe all that His word says about me

Like in poverty, it's not my destiny.

I'm walking, I'm living, I'm walking in the favor of God

Favor, I speak favor, I speak favor,

Favor, I speak favor, I speak favor, over your life (over my life)

His favor (His favor) is better

(Is better) than life to me,

The blessings of Jesus make me rich in victory.

I will believe all that His word says about me

Like in poverty it's not my destiny.

I’m walking, I’m living, I’m walking in the favor of God

I said favor, I speak favor,

Favor, I speak favor, I speak favor, over your life.
Forgiven and Loved

Album: Not Without Love (2008)

Appears on: WOW Hits 2010 album

## Lyrics

Tell me I’m forgiven and loved

‘Cause I hear it from the street-corner priests, yes

On how God is love and how man can be clean

But my joy has been on holiday

And my peace has almost passed away

Tell me I’m forgiven and free

(Chorus)

Oh, I tried and tried to rectify my hopeless situation

But I bought the lie I still have work to do

Now I’m working nine to five like I can earn my own salvation

But there is no condemnation in You

Oh whisper to me now that it’s for real

‘Cause in the silence of these walls righteousness lost its appeal

Dirty deeds have done me in

Oh but that can’t stop the faithful Friend

Giving mercy once again as You heal

Here it is, I’m feeling it

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Oh He died, He died to rectify my hopeless situation

And His blood commands my guilt to leave

Now on Calvary I stand

Empty pockets, open hands

Oh there is no condemnation for me

(Chorus)

Child, you’re forgiven and loved

Child, you’re forgiven and loved

Child, you’re forgiven

And child, you are loved

Child, you’re forgiven and loved

## Lyrics

Sometimes I feel so cold

Like I'm waiting around all by myself

Loneliness gets so old

I'm in the lost and found sitting on the shelf

Been stuck for way too long

But I hear Your voice

You're who I'm counting on

(Chorus)

Oh, tell me You're here

That You will watch over me forever

Oh, take hold of my heart

Show me You'll love me forever

I know that You can tell

When I start to let my hope fade away

I need to catch myself

Open my ears to hear You calling my name

Been fighting way too long

But I hear Your voice

You had me all along

(Chorus)

When I'm starting to drown

You jump in to save me

When my world's upside down

Your hands, they shake me and wake me

(Chorus x2)

## Lyrics

We've got CD sets and videos, radio and TV shows

Conferences, retreats and seminars

We've got books and magazines to read on everything from A to Z

And a web to surf from anywhere we are

But I hope with all this information buzzing through our brains

That we will not let our hearts forget the most important thing

(Chorus)

Is love, love, love, love, love

It's all about love, love, love, love, love

Everything else comes down to this

Nothing any higher on the list than love

It's all about love

Now they're fighting in the middle east

And they're fighting down on Seventh Street

And there are fights in my own house on given days

It's like something's lurking deep inside

That can't seem to be satisfied

But life was not meant to be lived this way

'Cause it's true for every man and woman

Every boy and girl

That our only hope for living here together in this world

(Chorus)

This is the reason we were made

To know the love of our Creator

And to give the love He's given us away

Yeah, the Maker, and the Father, and the God of everything

He says to love, love, love

He says love, love, love

Love, love, love

'Cause after all, it's all about love

(Chorus)

Gods says love, love, love, love, love, yea yea

It's all about love, love, love, love, love (love love love)

Everything else comes down to this

Nothing any higher on the list than love

'Cause after all, it's all about love

That's right, yeah

Woo!

It's all about, yea yea

It's all about

All about love, love, love, love, love

It's all about love, love, love

Yea it's all about love love love

It's all about love love love

After all don't you know?

That it really all comes down to love

After all don't you know that

Gonna tell you what it's all about, yeah

Yeah, it's all about love

Yeah, it's all about love, yeah

It's all about love

## Lyrics

It's only for a moment you are mine to hold

The plans that heaven has for you

Will all too soon unfold

So many different prayers I'll pray

For all that you might do

But most of all I'll want to know

You're walking in the truth

And If I never told you

I want you to know

As I watch you grow

(Chorus)

I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams

And that faith gives you the courage

To dare to do great things

I'm here for you whatever this life brings

So let my love give you roots

And help you find your wings

May passion be the wind

That leads you through your days

And may conviction keep you strong

Guide you on your way

May there be many moments

That make your life so sweet

Oh, but more than memories

(Chorus)

It's not living if you don't reach for the sky

I'll have tears as you take off

But I'll cheer as you fly

(Chorus)
