## Lyrics

Turn the page, can't turn the light out

Every word every line carries to my soul

Dark letters on a page singing so loud

Where did I go wrong not to hear You?

Eighteen years, I guess it was alright

I let You do the thinking I'd just bide my time

Father to son, Sunday hand me down

Where did I go wrong not to hear Your song?

(Chorus)

It's a beautiful sound

Movin' through the crowd

Voices lifted up

On high for You

It's a beautiful song

We've only just begun

To understand

Rediscovering You

To have found You and still be looking for You

It's "the soul's paradox of love"

You fill my cup, I lift it up for more

I won't stop now that I'm free

I'll be chasing You like You chase me

(Chorus)

Oh, something's so beautiful here

(Chorus x3)

Something tells me it's alright

You know it's gonna be alright

## Lyrics

(Chorus)

I know it may seem like your life is falling apart

But don't you know God's already working it out

There's strength in you, you were born to win

So don't quit now here comes your second win

I know it may be hard to believe it

You cried so hard, your eyes are crimson

The pain in your life is overwhelming

If he did it before, he can do it again

(Chorus)

I know you can't believe what they have told you

They're using words as rhymes trying to own you

They can't control your mind, they don't own you

You gotta keep the faith like you're supposed to

(Chorus)

They will over come

By the blood of the lamb

By the word of the testimony

You will, you will overcome

I believe you will

If God is for you

Who can be against you

You will win

I know you will

You'll will

My God is, He's bigger than your mountain

## Lyrics

Here's the plan

I think i got it made

Life is easy

When you're sitting in the shade

Not too hot not too cold

I think that’s what I'll be

Now I'm nervous

And I've come undone

My head is spinning like the earth

Around the sun

I feel you drawing me away

From my complacency

(Pre-Chorus)

I think I'm ready to go

Don't stop 'til everybody knows

(Chorus)

This is the purpose of my life

This is, the reason I'm alive

Don't have time to wait

Activate, activate

There's a world out there in need

Now is the time for you and me

Before it gets too late

Activate, activate

Make a move

'cause talk is really cheap

You'll never start a revolution

In your sleep

Showing love to everyone is what

It's all about

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

One by one everyone activate

This is the purpose of my life

This is, the reason I'm alive

(Chorus)

## Lyrics

So you enter into this building

You brought your burdens, brought your pain

I have a message for you today

That when you leave here, you won't be the same

So you tell me you've been to your physician

Look at you there's been no change in your condition

Reach out and touch the Master's Throne

There's healing for your mind, your body, and your soul

(Chorus 1)

God can heal, He can deliver

He can mend your brokenness

He has a miracle to fit your needs

Once you trust Him, you will receive

God knows about your situation

But with every test and every trial there is revelation

That God is able to supply every one of your needs;

He's here to touch you, heal you, He'll set you free

(Chorus 1)

So by the time that you leave this building

My prayer for everyone in here is that you'll have your healing

Once God works a miracle to fit your need

Go tell the world, what you have received

(Chorus 2)

God has healed, He has delivered

He has mended my brokenness

Gave me a miracle to fit my need;

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, praise the Lord

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, I have received

I have received
Bring Me Down

Artist: Pillar

Album: Where Do We Go from Here (2004)

Appears on: WOW Hits 2005 DVD

## Lyrics

You can't bring me down

You can't bring me down

Back in the day when nothing really mattered to me

I only saw with my eyes what they wanted to see

And everything around me seemed to never change

Looking for an easy way out, someone to blame

Why does it work this way still today?

You wanna take somebody down along the way?

But I won't let that one be me

'Cause I don't want the drama it brings

See, today isn't 'Back in the day' anymore

I know a little more than I did before

So, don't forget before you try bringing me down

What goes around always comes back around

(Chorus)

You can't bring me down

Do you hear what I'm trying to say?

You can't bring me down

I'll never turn the other way

You can't bring me down

What is it you're trying to say?

You can't bring me down

It's not like I'm running away

So, you think you can see inside my mind?

You probably could if you just took a little time

I know exactly what you're trying to say

Sitting in the stands ain't the same as playing the game

So, I can't comprehend in my mind

Just why we can't leave it all behind

So, come on and stand beside and hold the line

'Cause tonight is the night we cry

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Why can't we feel what it takes for us to be real?

Why can't we see what it takes for us to believe?

Why do we say all of these things that bring us down?

(Chorus)

It's not like I'm running away

You can't bring me down

## Lyrics

I'm a brand new man, I'm a conscious man

I'm a man who's burnin' for You (For You)

The mistakes I've made have been chased away

To the bottom of the ocean blue (Ocean blue)

I'm a brand new man in a foreign land

I'm a man who's feelin' that fire (That fire)

And it's all so clear when I'm standin' here

At the peak of my desire

(Pre-Chorus)

So won't You move me like You used to (Used to)

I want the world to know I burn for You

(Chorus)

I feel revived again, I am alive again (Burnin' for You)

You got me lifted, and lifted, You lift me up

I feel revived again, I'm energized again (Burnin' for you)

You got me lifted, and lifted, You lift me up (Me up...)

(Post-Chorus)

(Let the smoke clear)

(Let it clear, let it clear)

(The smoke clear)

Woke up in a sweat, those ghosts in my head

Had a grip, but I slipped on by

It's a whole new day as the darkness fades

And the sun's climbin' in the sky

I concede, my love, that I need Your love

I'm before You a broken man

And it's only You, no substitutes

Who can renew this soul again

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

(Post-Chorus)

I feel revived again, *I am alive again*

You got me lifted, and lifted, You lift me

(Bridge)

You got me higher than Kilimanjaro

Got me believin' I can save the day

I'm up and runnin' like there ain't no tomorrow (Ain't no tomorrow)

I'd rather burn for You than fade away (Fade away)

I'd rather burn for You than go my way

I'm a whole new guy with a whole new vibe (Vibe)

Changed inside, more flame in the fire

Can't stop, won't stop, brand new desire

Like the bunny on the screen, feel so energized

Old shell, gone without a trace, new face

No more shortness of breath, new pace

Live life now without the taste of fear

TobyMac, Double Dutch now, let the smoke clear

*(Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)*

Let the smoke clear

(Let it clear, let it clear)

*(Ah-ah-ah-ah)*

I want the world to know I burn for You (—vived again)

(Chorus x2)

*I am alive again*

You got me lifted, and lifted, You lift me up

*I'm energized again*

You got me lifted, and lifted, You lift me up

*I am alive again*

(You got me lifted, and lifted, You lift me up)

(Me up, me up, me up, me up, me up, me up)

You lift me up

I had a heartbeat

I was breathing

And I kept going and going without a reason

It's not a secret don't have to keep it deep inside

Hey, hey, are you there?

Here I am at what feels like the end

So I come to you, my Lord, again

That the sorrow brings me back to you

And you have made me stronger

It's been 40 days and 40 nights

Down the road of many trials

And I pray it's only for a season

'Cause in the wilderness and in the flood

You're the one I'm thinkin' of

I have one more thing I've got to say

Before they try to take my life away

Let it be known that I am not afraid

Let your will be done, Lord

What is this force around me

Just like a tractor beam that is always holding me down

And whenever I get the chance to

To spill my guts about You, it tries to tape up my mouth

What good am I if I just keep You quiet?

What good am I if I don't speak?

(Chorus)

'Cause I don't wanna be camouflage, what I'm not

'Cause what I've got invades the world

I don't wanna be in a box

All I want is just to stop being camouflage

I'm sick of tryin' to blend

Thinkin' that I should fit in like I am somebody else

Why do I go against what I say

And come across like a fake and keep You all to myself?

It's not that I wanna shove it on somebody

It's just that I, that I can't hide

(Chorus)

I can't hide, oh I, yeah

Don't put me in a box

Can you feel the silent cries

Over solemn need

Underneath the city lights

They're altars in the street

Through the walls I hear the sound

Of a beggar's plea

Looking for salvation from

The altars in the street

And it's so sad

People drifted away on a concrete sea

It's too bad

Faded lives

(Chorus)

Burn, won't you burn in me

Eternal flame won't you light my name

Burn in me

If God is grace then bless the child

Who's left alone tonight

Set him free

Free to fly

Cause it's so sad

People wasted away in such a subtle display

It's too bad

Sacred lives

(Chorus)

If I stayed close to

Everything you once held onto

And I know, yeah I know

Sometimes you hurt

(Chorus)

Burn, won't you burn in me

You're my eternal flame why don't you light my name

Burn, burn, burn

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed

The little Lord Jesus lay down His sweet head

The stars in the sky look down where He lay

The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes

The little Lord Jesus, no cryin' He makes

I love Thee, Lord Jesus, look down from the sky

And stay by my cradle, 'til morning is light

## Lyrics

Chorus (x2)

He gives beauty for ashes

Strength for fear

Gladness for mourning

Peace for despair

When sorrow seems to surround you

When suffering hangs heavy over you head

Know that tomorrow brings wholeness and healing

God knows your need just believe what He said

Chorus (x2)

When what you've done keeps you from moving on

When fear wants you to make itself at home in your heart

Know that forgiveness brings wholeness and healing

God knows your need Just believe what He said

Chorus (x2)

I once was lost but God has found me

Though I was bound I've been set free

I've been made righteous in His sight

A display of His splendor we can see

## Lyrics

Oh tragedy has taken so many

Love lost 'cause they all forgot who you were

And it scares me to think that I would choose

My life over you

Oh my selfish heart

Divides me from you

It tears us apart

(Chorus)

So tell me what is our ending?

Will it be beautiful?

So beautiful

Oh why do I let myself let go?

Of hands that painted the stars and holds tears that fall

And the pride of my heart makes me forget

It's not me but you

Who makes the heart beat

I'm lost without you

You're dying for me

(Chorus 2)

So tell me what is our ending?

Will it be beautiful?

So beautiful

Will my life find me by your side?

Your love is beautiful

So beautiful

(Bridge)

At the end of it all I wanna be in your arms

At the end of it all I wanna be in your arms

At the end of it all I wanna be in your arms

At the end of it all I wanna be in your arms

## Lyrics

I've been held by the Savior

I've felt fire from above

I've been down to the river

I ain't the same, a prodigal returned

(Chorus)

All my hope is in Jesus

Thank God that yesterday's gone

All my sins are forgiven

I've been washed by the blood

I'm no stranger to prison

I've worn shackles and chains

But I've been freed and forgiven

And I'm not going back

I'll never be the same

That's why I sing

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

There's a kind of thing that just breaks a man

Break him down to his knees

God, I've been broken more than a time or two

Yes, Lord then He picked me up and showed me

What it means to be a man

Come on and sing

## Lyrics

I'm so very ordinary

Nothing special on my own

I have never walked on water

I have never calmed a storm

Sometimes I'm hiding away from the madness around me

Like a child who's afraid of the dark

(Chorus 1)

But when I call on Jesus

All things are possible

I can mount on wings like eagles and soar

When I call on Jesus

Mountains are gonna fall

'Cause He'll move heaven and earth to come rescue me when I call

La la la la, la la la la

Weary brother

Broken daughter

Widowed, widowed lover

You're not alone

If you're tired and scared of the madness around you

If you can't find the strength to carry on

(Chorus 2)

But when you call on Jesus

All things are possible

You can mount on wings like eagles and soar

When you call on Jesus

Mountains are gonna fall

'Cause He'll move heaven and earth to come rescue you when you...

(Bridge)

Call Him in the mornin'

In the afternoon time

Late in the evenin'

He'll be there

When your heart is broken

And you feel discouraged

You can just remember that He said

He'll be there

(Chorus 1 x2)

La la la la, la la la la

## Lyrics

Like a tiny bubble of air rises

From the bottom of the sea

Slips the sapphire silence

Up to the surface where longs to be

Up to the light of love

To where the air of hope is sweet

I'm delirious and I'm delighted

And when I finally reach the spot complete

Chorus (x2)

With the close of my eyes

From the hole of my heart comes

A whisper heard around the world

Whoa! Oh!

Let me go of every longing

Lord, I know You hear when I pray

Everything I couldn't put to words

And when no one hears a word I say

And when I'm faint of heart, mmm

Or when there's nothin' I can do

But let You know about the flood in my soul

I can barely give it up to You

Chorus (x2)

Around the world!

Oh and when I'm faint of heart

Or when there's nothin' I can do

But let You know about the flood in my soul

I can barely give it up to You

You have created from the dawn of every birth

Breathing life

Breathing life

You raised the mountains up to reach and touch the sky

You forged the depth of pain and crossed the river wide

You built a bridge that reached from heaven down to me

And though I'm unworthy, once a captive now I'm free

(Chorus)

Breathe life, oh, breathe life into me

And let Your fire consume me

## Lyrics

Well, today I found myself

After searching all these years

And the man that I saw, he wasn't at all who I thought he'd be

Well, I was lost when You found me here

And I was broken beyond repair

Then You came along and You sang Your song over me

(Chorus)

It feels like I'm born again

It feels like I'm living

For the very first time

For the very first time

In my life

Make a promise to me now

Reassure my heart somehow

That the love that I feel is so much more real than anything

I've a feeling in my soul

And I pray that I'm not wrong

That the life I have now, it is only the beginning

(Chorus)

It feels like I'm born again

It feels like I'm living

For the very first time

For the very first time

It feels like I'm breathing (Feels like I'm born again)

It feels like I'm moving (Feels like I'm living)

For the very first time (For the very first time)

For the very first time (For the very first time)

(Bridge)

Wasn't looking for something that was more

Than what I had yesterday

Then You came to me and You gave to me

Life and a love that I've never known

That I've never felt before

(Chorus)

Feels like I'm born again (Feels like I'm born again)

It feels like I'm living (Feels like I'm living)

For the very first time (For the very first time)

I'm living for the first time (For the very first time)

It feels like I'm breathing (Feels like I'm born again)

It feels like I'm moving (Feels like I'm living)

For the very first time (For the very first time)

I'm living for the first time (For the very first time)

Album: Deep Enough to Dream (1997)

## Lyrics

Lazy summer afternoon

Screened in porch and nothin' to do

I just kicked off my tennis shoes

Slouchin' in a plastic chair

Rakin' my fingers through my hair

I close my eyes and I leave them there

And I yawn and sigh and slowly fade away

(Chorus)

Deep enough to dream in brilliant colors

I have never seen

Deep enough to join a billion people

For a wedding feast

Deep enough to reach out and touch

The face of the one who made me

And oh the love I feel and oh the peace

Do I ever have to wake up?

Awakened by a familiar sound

A clumsy fly is buzzin' around

He bumps the screen and he tumbles down

He gathers about his wits and pride

And tries again for the hundredth time

Cause freedom calls from the other side

And I smile and nod, and slowly drift away

(Chorus)

Cause peace is pouring over my soul

See the lambs and the lions playin'

I join in and I drink the music

Holiness is the air I'm breathin'

My faithful heroes break the bread

And answer all of my questions

Not to mention what the streets are made of

My heart's held hostage by this love

And these brilliant colors I have never seen

I join a billion people for a wedding feast

And I reach out and touch the face of the One who made me

(Chorus)

Do I ever have to wake up

Do I really have to wake up now

And I want you to make an overt confession

I want you to empower the person

Whose hand you're holding.

I want you to speak those things that be not

As though they already are.

And I want you to speak into their future

And raise this praise.

And just say "bettah"! (Bettah)

## Lyrics

For this morning's risings,

new mercies given, I thank You.

For every miracle manifested,

great or small, I praise You.

Yet there is one thing my heart desires,

is to worship You each day without fail;

this is my earnest prayer,

this is my earnest plea,

bid me, come ye beyond the veil.

For every door now opened,

every pathway cleared, Lord, I thank You.

For every one of my needs,

You've already supplied, I praise You.

Yet there is one thing my soul longs for

is to worship You face to face;

this is my earnest prayer,

this is my earnest plea,

bid me, come ye beyond the veil.

Beyond the veil is where I witness all Your glory,

seated on Your throne in majesty and power.

I lay prostrate before You, oh my King,

in this place of sweet communion;

this is my earnest prayer,

this is my earnest plea,

and You'll bid me,

You'll say come ye beyond the veil.

Beyond the veil is where I witness all Your glory,

seated on Your throne in majesty and power.

I lay prostrate before You, oh my King,

in this place of sweet communion;

I have entered Your gates with thanksgiving,

I've entered Your courts with praise,

Yet I hear You say,

"come closer, step into this holy place".

And because the blood of Christ for me,

it continues to prevail,

now I'm standing in Your presence face to face,

beyond the veil.

Of sins forgiven, of conscience cleared

Of death defeated and life without end

You're my beautiful Savior

Wonderful counselor

Beautiful risen one

I'm the man with all I've ever wanted

All the toys and playing games

I am the one who pours your coffee, corner booth each Saturday

I am your daughter's favorite teacher

I'm the leader of the band

I sit behind you in the bleachers

I am every man

I'm the coach of every winning team and still a loser in my mind

I am the soldier in the airborne facing giants one more time

I am the woman shamed and haunted by the cry of unborn life

I'm every broken man, nervous child, lonely wife

(Chorus)

Is there hope for every man?

A solid place where we can stand

In this dry and weary land

Is there hope for every man?

Is there love that never dies?

Is there peace in troubled times?

Someone help me understand

Is there hope for every man?

Seems there's just so many roads to travel

It's hard to tell where they will lead

My life is scarred and my dreams unraveled

Now I'm scared to take the leap

If I could find someone to follow

Who knows my pain and feels the weight

The uncertainty of my tomorrow

The guilt and pain of yesterday

(Chorus)

(Interlude)

(Chorus 2 x2)

There is hope for every man

A solid place where we can stand

In this dry and weary land

There is hope for every man

There is love that never dies

There is peace in troubled times

Will we help them understand?

Jesus is hope for every man

I have traveled many moonless nights

Cold and weary with a babe inside

And I wonder what I've done

Holy father you have come

I am frightened by the load I bear

In a world as cold as stone

Must I walk this path alone?

Be with me now

Be with me now

Hold me together

Be forever near me

Breath of heaven

Lighten my darkness

Pour over me your holiness

If a wiser one should have had my place

But I offer all I am

For the mercy of your plan

Help me be strong

Help me be

Help me

Calling to the masses with the drone of sleepless dreams

They're coming to your house

They're crawling up the stairs

Searching for a saint who really cares
