There’s no question of Your greatness

Who is He that can number you day

You’ve flung the sun to burn in space

and the night’s moon powers light from day

You are God alone

Now unto the King

the only wise God

the only wise God

You alone are God

for You are God alone

## Lyrics

The world is turnin'

Telling me to hurry on

You gotta run to get ahead

Try to take the things you want

But when the sun begins to set

so many things I haven't done yet

(Chorus)

Oh, but I won't worry

'Cause there's no hurry

The world's not passin' me by

'Cause the Lord he knows

Just where each day goes

I know He won't leave me behind

And I won't be bringin' a single thing

That my heart can't carry inside

'Cause I'm goin' home

And I'm only takin' my time

The weight of worry

Is never worth the price

Of a world of treasures

That can never satisfy

But I know Heaven's up ahead

Where the best is yet to come

I could give just one more chance

If I thought that there would be romance

Seas of everlasting grace

Fall down upon this sinner's face

The time is right, I know it

You are here

And you find out all the pieces

The time is right, I know it

You are here

One last reason to exist

Is the thought that you'd get over this

Words forever left unchanged

And from your lips a sinner's saved

Tonight

You find out all of the pieces

Give me a way now, take on me on down now

You find out all of the pieces

Give me a way now, take me away

## Lyrics

Searching high with a yellow soul

I dig for ashes in a sea of gold

Drifting low, my yellow soul

I'll live on air if the clouds will hold

(Pre-Chorus)

Jesus riding on a white horse

Hero calling from the sky

Jesus riding on a white horse

With spare room for you and I to fly

(Chorus)

Riding on a white horse high

Wanna ride, wanna ride so high

On a white horse high

Sail high on the ocean sky

Searching high with a yellow soul

There's no tomorrow in the days of old

I was falling low, with my yellow soul

It's sad to burn, left in the cold

(Pre-Chorus)

But I see Jesus riding on a white horse

Hero calling from the sky

I see, see Jesus riding on a white horse

With spare room for you and I to fly

(Chorus)

Wanna ride, wanna ride so high

Wanna ride, wanna ride

Wanna ride, wanna ride so high

Sail high, set sail high

Sail high on the ocean sky

Sail high, set sail high

Sail high on the ocean sky

Wanna ride, wanna ride so high

Wanna ride, wanna ride so high

Sail high on the ocean sky

Sail high on the ocean sky

Sail high, sail high

Sail high on the ocean sky

(Pre-Chorus)

Jesus riding on a white horse

Hero calling from the sky

I see Jesus riding on a white horse

With spare room for you and I to fly

(Chorus x2)

On a white horse high

Searching, searching high

On a white horse high

With a yellow soul

Wanna ride, wanna ride so high

Searching, searching, searching high

Wanna ride, wanna ride so high

Sail high on the ocean sky

## Lyrics

You spread out the skies over empty space

Said, "Let there be light"

To a dark and formless world

Your light was born

You spread out Your arms over empty hearts

To a dark and hopeless world

Your Son was born

You made the world and saw that it was good

You sent Your only Son, for You are good

(Chorus)

What a wonderful Maker

What a wonderful Savior

How majestic Your whispers

And how humble Your love

With a strength like no other

And the heart of a Father

How majestic Your whispers

What a wonderful God

No eye has fully seen how beautiful the cross

And we have only heard the faintest whispers

Of how great You are

You made the world and saw that it was good

You sent Your only Son, for You are good

(Chorus)

You made the world and saw that it was good

You sent Your only Son, for You are good

(Chorus x3)

He saw the best in me

When everyone else around

Could only see the worst in me

When folks wrote you off

Said you would never make it

What did he see?

He saw the best in me

When everyone else around me

When everyone else around could only see the worst in me

(Chorus x3)

See, he's mine, and I am his

It doesn't matter what I did

He only sees me for who I am

He is mine, I am his

It doesn't matter what I did

He only sees me for who I am

I am so glad that he is mine

It doesn't matter what I did

He only sees me for whom I am

I can't get no help up in here

Because there's some folk in here that people have wrote you off

Said you would never amount to anything

Said that you would never end up being anywhere

He saw the best

When momma said you would never be nothin'

When aunties and uncles said you would never amount to anything

When daddy didn't come home anymore

He didn't look at you and say that you weren't going to make it

God looked at you and what did he see, what did he see?

He saw the best, the best

What did he see?

(The best)

I said, what did he see?

I said, what did he see?

## Lyrics

I've been through some storms

And I've seen trying days

And I know what it is

To think that things may never change

Even though I knew better

I couldn't pull myself together

Because my mind kept racing

Focusing on all the things I was facing

But then I felt Your touch

In the moment when I needed love

You gave me something to believe in

And now I never wanna leave

(Chorus)

It's gonna be You and me together

You and me forever

Lord, I pray everyday

Keep me in Your love

It's gonna be You and me together

You and me forever

Lord, I pray everyday

Keep me in Your love

You see the devil tried to block me (Yeah)

And the devil tried to stop me

Because I finally found out

The way up is really going down

(Talk about it hey)

Down on my knees in prayer

'Cause nothing can hurt me there

And though my facts are changing

Now I see that the facts don't make me

Because I have Your touch

And at this moment Lord I need Your love, oh

You gave me something to believe in

And now I never wanna leave

(Chorus)

It's gonna be You and me

Till the wheels fall off in the streets

No collard greens to eat

And momma still work from 3 to 3 to 3

We gon' make it check to check

From chain to chain, check the check

To prayer to prayer, to EBT to EBT

To eat for free

Yeah, yeah, yeah

I want the good time with You, yeah

I want the good vibe with You, yeah

I want the cold nights, would You hold tight?

Would You know, would You?

Stronger (I'm stronger)

Wiser (I'm wiser)

Better (I'm better)

Yeah, yeah, yeah

It's gonna be You and me together

(Chorus)

It's gonna be (You, me) You and me

(Forever) Throughout eternity

I know I can depend on You

Because You're always gonna see me through

It's gonna be You and me together

I gotta call on You

You and me forever

And know that You will come through

Lord, I pray everyday

Keep me in Your love

You and me indeed

What If

Artist: Nichole Nordeman

Album: Brave (2005)

Appears on: WOW Hits 2007 album

## Lyrics

What if you're right?

And he was just another nice guy

What if you're right?

What if it's true?

They say the cross will only make a fool of you

And what if it's true?

What if He takes His place in history

With all the prophets and the kings

Who taught us love, then came in peace

But then the story ends

What then?

(Chorus)

But what if you're wrong?

What if there's more?

What if there's hope you never dreamed of hoping for?

What if you jump and just close your eyes?

What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise?

What if He's more than enough?

What if it's love?

And what if you dig

Way down deeper than your simple-minded friends

What if you dig?

But what if you find

A thousand more unanswered questions down inside?

That's all you find

What if you pick apart the logic and begin to poke the holes

What if the crown of thorns is no more than folklore

That must be told and retold

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

'Cause you've been running, as fast as you can

And you've been looking for a place you can land

For so long

(Chorus)

But what if you're wrong?

And what if you jump and just close your eyes?

What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise?

What if He's more than enough?

What if it's love?

What if it's love?

If I were a drummer, I would use my cymbal

A prolific dissertation, if I was a speaker

I would use my hands, if I were a potter

No matter who or what we are, we must praise

Let the people of God bless Him

Let it ring with love and truth

With our gifts we exalt Thee

Merciful, wonderful God

If I were an eagle, I would use my wings

Since I'm a believer, I use everything

Make a joyful noise unto the Lord

All ye people

No matter who or what we are, we must praise

Praise his holy, holy name

Praise his holy, holy name

Oh Bread of life God, Oh meat of hunger Lord

Appears on: WOW New & Next 2011

## Lyrics

I want to sing a song that's

Never been heard

I want to write the emotions

When I can't find the words

But there is nothing I could say

I could sing

To give an adequate description

Of my glorious King

For You are

Indescribable and that's why we sing

(Chorus)

Hallelujah to the great I am

All that is

All that has ever been

All consuming love

That never ends

So let us come

Let us worship the Lamb

Let us come

Let us worship the Lamb

For every thought in the intelligent mind

For every brilliant invention

That history provides

There is nothing I could form

I could bring

That could be added to the splendor

Of my glorious King

(Chorus)

For You are

Unchangeable and that's why we sing

All i am

At my best

I am merely a breath all I am

At my best

I am merely a breath for You

(Chorus)

I never like surrender thought I had the answers

Too proud to ask for help

Cold like the winter until You pulled me into yourself

I could be all I needed a prisoner of my own war

Then You showed me Your glory wrote me a brand new story

Love was right there before me

What was I fighting for, what was I fighting for?

What was I fighting for?

Thank You for mercy I am so undeserving

You could've left me on my own, stubborn and alone

But that isn't like You, yeah You do what you do

You bring Your people home

In the moment I gave You my heart was the moment

I started living for the first time

And the day that You lifted my eyes

Was the day I came alive, I came alive

Oh I came alive, whoa, oh oh

## Lyrics

You come to me with scars on your wrist

You tell me this will be the last night feeling like this

I just came to say goodbye

I didn't want you to see me cry, I'm fine

But I know it's a lie

(Chorus)

This is the last night you'll spend alone

Look me in the eyes so I know you know

I'm everywhere you want me to be

The last night you'll spend alone

I'll wrap you in my arms and I won't let go

I'm everything you need me to be

Your parents say everything is your fault

But they don't know you like I know you they don't know you at all

I'm so sick of when they say

It's just a phase, you'll be o.k. you're fine

But I know it's a lie

(Chorus)

The last night away from me

(Instrumental break)

The night is so long when everything's wrong

If you give me your hand I will help you hold on

Behold our God is gracious

He's moving among the nations

Preparing a bride for Jesus

And proving He reigns

His Spirit is tearing down walls

Built on the pride of men

To those who've rejected Him

He's reaching His hand out again

(Chorus)

We will embrace

We will embrace Your move

We will embrace

We will embrace Your love

Our God is preparing a feast

The spirit and bride say come

Calling out to the least

And filling our lampstands with oil

And He is restoring His people

By rains of sweet renewal

And the music of Heaven

Will soon overtake the earth

(Chorus x2)

Oh God be our God

And we'll be

Your people of praise

We'll dance and we'll sing

For our God is the ancient of days

## Lyrics

Growing more uneasy

With every question asked

It seems you're jealous of my interests

And the graven things I've cast

Waking resolutions of twenty years or more

That I would disallow golden cows

My favorite anymore

(Chorus)

Your wishes set in stone

I broke the first of ten

I cleared this temple out

Come take your place again

There is only You

There is only You

Tiptoe from an akward scene

Not fooling anyone

Am I dumb enough to kneel with my accusors

Or brave enough to run

Petty daggers bounce weakly off my back

I'm leaving breathless gods and secrets in my track

(Chorus)

There is only You

There is only You

Believe me

There is only You

There is only You

To a thousand generations

Of the faithful man

You will show Your favor Lord

There is only You (Love earth can't replace)

There is only You, believe me (Heaven can't erase)

There is only You (Find me on my penitent face)

There is only You

Where Would I Be

Artist: Smokie Norful

Album: Life Changing (2006)

Appears on: WOW Gospel 2008 album

## Lyrics

What kind of God can make the morsels of snow, fall from a gray sky

What kind of God can weave the tapestry of a rainbow, and sketch it into a we sky

It's no wonder how he can do, every little thing he does for me

If it hadn't been for you, where would I be?

What kind of God can give you a vision, and create a skyscraper tall

What kind of God can use the pattern of color, and give it a name like fall

It's no wonder how he can do, every little thing he does for me

If it hadn't been for you, where would I be?

(Chorus)

I'd be at the bottom when you told me there's a place at the top for me

I'd be on the back side when you showed me there's a place in the front I should be

I'd be on the outside looking in when, you've prepared me a table for kings

If it hadn't been for you, where would I be?

What kind of God can take my fragile and wounded heart, fill it with unconditional love

What kind of God can take away my guilt and shame, and give me grace to rise above

It's no wonder how he can do, every little thing he does for me

If it hadn't been for you, where would I be?

(Chorus x2)

Just like a ship without a sail, without you
