## Lyrics

The battle rages on

As storm and tempest roar

We cannot win this fight

Inside our rebel hearts

We're laying down our weapons now

(Chorus)

We raise our white flag

We surrender all to you, All for You

We raise our white flag

The war is over

Love has come, Your love has won

Here on this holy ground

You made a way for peace

Laying your body down

You took our rightful place

This freedom song is marching on

(Chorus)

(x8)

We lift the cross

Lift it high, Lift it high

All to You, All to You

We raise our white flag

The war is over

Love has come, Your love has won

(Chorus)

Lift you up, lift you up

Its all for you

Lift you up, lift you up

We lift the cross

Lift it high, lift it high

We lift the cross

Lift it high, lift it high

We lift the cross

Lift it high, lift it high

When I was young

You were my breath and heartbeat

Born in the dark

You were the hand that held me

You opened Your arms

And called me in to salvation

Your infinite love

Echoes in all creation

(Chorus)

For who You are

You're the Great I Am

For who You are

You're the Son of Man

For who You are

I Am Who I Am

Father of Grace

I am Your child of mercy

Inside my heart

And all around me, I see the glory

You pulled me out of darkness

You pulled me out of all my emptiness

You are the instrument of praise

## Lyrics

Could've come like a mighty storm

With all the strength of a hurricane

You could've come like a forest fire

With the power of Heaven in Your flame

(Chorus)

But You came like a winter snow

Quiet and soft and slow

Falling from the sky in the night

To the earth below

Oh, You could've swept in like a tidal wave

Or a big ocean to ravish our hearts

You could have come through like a roaring flood

To wipe away the things that we've scarred

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Ooh no, your voice wasn't in a bush burning

No, your voice wasn't in a rushing wind

It was still, it was small, it was hidden

(Chorus)

Falling, oh yeah, to the earth below

You came falling from the sky in the night

To the earth below

The enemy gotta flee

Going into battle

Going into battle

As we claim the victory

Over the enemy

In your name

You rule and rain

## Lyrics

I saw a man today, his whole world across his back

A living monument opposed to my success

I tried to look into his eyes as he shuffled past my car

Sweat beading on his skin, his clothes and hair a mess

(Pre-Chorus)

As the light turned green and I pulled away

He slowly disappeared

Just a memory of another chance

I failed to show Your love here

(Chorus)

I wanna love because You loved

I wanna give because You gave

I wanna reach my hand out to the lost

'Cause I know Your hand will save

(Post-Chorus)

Only You can save

Only You can save

Have to wonder if I really want to know

The struggle and the pain that others feel

Do I want to hear the stories I see echoed in their eyes?

Or is this love I say that I'm reflecting even real?

(Pre-Chorus)

As the light turns on inside my head

And I slowly disappear

I steel myself 'cause what You call for me

Is to show Your love here

(Chorus 2)

I wanna love because You loved

I wanna give because You gave

I wanna reach my hand out to the lost

'Cause I know Your hand can save

I wanna love just like You loved

I wanna give just like You gave

I wanna reach your hand

'Cause only You can save

(Post-Chorus)

(Bridge)

(Save)

Just let me be Your hands

(Only You can save)

Let me be Your eyes

(Only you can save)

Help me understand

(Only you can save)

That I'm Your hands and feet

Hidden behind this frail human disguise

Album: When I Think About You (2000)

Appears on: WOW Gospel 2002 album

## Lyrics

Thinking of You, Jesus

Always means a blessing making things alright

Resting on Your promise

Keeps my vision focused and my life real tight

(Chorus)

It causes peace to flow through my mind

And You make my heart rejoice

And most of all my joy is full

When I think about You

I get joy when I think about You

I feel peace when I think about You

No more sorrow when I think about You

I get joy when I think about You

When my heart deals with distractions

Filtered from my mind from a distorted view

The only way I stop the madness

Clear my thoughts of all and concentrate on You

(Chorus)

## Lyrics

Another voice, another choice

To listen to words somebody said

Another day

I replay

One too many doubts inside my head

(Pre-Chorus)

Am I strong

Beautiful

Am I good enough

Do I belong

After all

That I've said and done

Is it real

When I feel

I don't measure up

Am I loved

(Chorus)

I'm running to the One who knows me

Who made every part of me in His hands

I'm holding to the One who holds me

‘Cause I know whose I am, I know who I am

I am sure I am Yours

Turning down

Tuning out

Every single word

That caused me pain

Unashamed

And unafraid

‘Cause I believe You mean it when You say

(Pre-Chorus)

I am strong

Beautiful

I am good enough

I belong

After all

‘Cause of what You've done

This is real

What I feel

No one made it up

I am loved

(Chorus)

I am sure I am Yours

I know who I am

I am sure I am Yours

(Bridge)

Fearfully

Wonderfully

Perfectly

You have made me

I'm running to the One who knows me

I'm holding to the One who holds me

(Chorus)

I am sure I am Yours

And I know who I am

## Lyrics

In this time of desperation

When all we know is doubt and fear

There is only one foundation

We believe, we believe

In this broken generation

When all is dark, You help us see

There is only one salvation

We believe, we believe

(Chorus)

We believe in God the Father

We believe in Jesus Christ

We believe in the Holy Spirit

And He's given us new life

We believe in the Crucifixion

We believe that He conquered death

We believe in the Resurrection

And He's comin' back again

We believe

So, let our faith be more than anthems

Greater than the songs we sing

And in our weakness and temptations

We believe, we believe

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Let the lost be found and the dead be raised

In the here and now, let love invade

Let the church live loud, Our God we'll say

We believe, we believe

And the gates of Hell will not prevail

For the power of God has torn the veil

Now we know Your love will never fail

We believe, we believe

(Chorus)

He's comin' back again

He's comin' back again

We believe

When Love Takes You In

Album: Declaration (2001)

Appears on: WOW Hits 2003 DVD

## Lyrics

I know you've heard the stories

But they all sound too good to be true

You've heard about a place called home

But there doesn't seem to be one for you

So one more night you cry yourself to sleep

And drift off to a distant dream

(Chorus)

Where love takes you in and everything changes

A miracle starts with the beat of a heart

When love takes you home and says you belong here

The loneliness ends and a new life begins

When love takes you in

And somewhere while you're sleeping

Someone else is dreaming too

Counting down the days until

They hold you close and say I love you

And like the rain that falls into the sea

In a moment what has been is lost in what will be

(Chorus)

When love takes you in everything changes

A miracle starts with the beat of a heart

And this love will never let you go

There is nothing that could ever cause this love to lose its hold

(Chorus)

When love takes you in everything changes

A miracle starts with the beat of a heart

When love takes you home and says you belong here

The loneliness ends and a new life begins

When love takes you in it takes you in for good

When love takes you in

## Lyrics

When will we sing?

When will we sing?

When will we sing?

When will we sing?

Brothers and sisters let us realize

The Father sees us all as one in His eyes

Eternity is for us so let us share this melody

Many think our strengths are things that do divide

Walls that separate and keep us on our side

Let's tear them down and become as one

Fulfill our destiny

(Chorus)

How can we sing if there's no love in our hearts?

There's no true fellowship as long as we're apart

Love with the true love that only comes from God

When will we sing the same song?

When will we sing?

When will we sing?

When will we sing?

When will we sing?

Many say we're going to a place prepared

So why can't we practice if we're going there

(Chorus)

We are his sheep and He's our Shepherd

God the Son

Just yielded vessels to obey the Holy One

When will we sing, when will we sing?

Let's get together and sing

The same song

Hallelujah, Halleluah, hallelujah, hallelujah
When Mercy Found Me

Artist: Rhett Walker Band

Album: Come to the River (2012)

Appears on: WOW Hits 2013 and 2014

## Lyrics

I can't count the broken roads I've been down, but all I know

Something had to give, something had to give

'Cause living my life so wild and free, finally caught up

Oh, it left me broken, left me hopeless

But that's where I met Jesus

(Chorus)

And in one moment everything changed

Who I was got washed away

When mercy found me

My Savior's arms were open wide

And I felt love for the very first time

When mercy found me

When mercy found me

All those days and all those doubts

They don't seem to matter now

His Grace is all I need, oh, His Grace is all I need

And the chains that I was in before, well

They don't hold me anymore

His love has rescued me, oh, His love has set me free

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

My mind found peace

My soul found hope

My heart found a home, yeah

(Instrumental break)

(Chorus)

When mercy found me

When mercy found me

When mercy found me

When mercy found me

When mercy found me

## Lyrics

What do you do?

When you're lonely and sad

What do you do?

When you're hurting and can't hide

What do you do?

When friends just walk away

What do you do?

Oh, what do you do?

Somebody tell me

What do you do?

When tears continue to flow

What do you do?

When you have no place to go

What do you do?

When choices you have made have gone wrong?

What do you do

Somebody tell me, what do you do?

(Chorus)

Keep the faith

Hold on, be strong

Run this race

You're not alone

There's a melody in my heart to stay

(This is what you do)

Submit your will to the Lord right now

(This is what you do)

Don't you give up don't you give in

(This is what you do)

Look to the hills from which cometh your help

This is what you do

This is what you do

This is what you do

If you have the faith and if you only believe

You can move many mountains yes you can

You can set the captives free

(This is what you do)

He's right there with you, He'll never leave, no no no

(This is what you do)

Say that if you have faith the size of a mustard seed you can move mountains yes you can

(This is what you do)

Now faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen you keep

## Lyrics

I’m tired I’m worn

My heart is heavy

From the work it takes

To keep on breathing

I’ve made mistakes

I’ve let my hope fail

My soul feels crushed

By the weight of this world

And I know that you can give me rest

So I cry out with all that I have left

(Chorus)

Let me see redemption win

Let me know the struggle ends

That you can mend a heart

That’s frail and torn

I wanna know a song can rise

From the ashes of a broken life

And all that’s dead inside can be reborn

Cause I’m worn

I know I need to lift my eyes up

But I'm too weak

Life just won’t let up

And I know that you can give me rest

So I cry out with all that I have left

(Chorus)

My prayers are wearing thin

Yeah, I’m worn

Even before the day begins

Yeah, I’m worn

I’ve lost my will to fight

I’m worn

So, heaven come and flood my eyes

(Chorus)

Though I’m worn

Yeah I’m worn

Album: The Hurt & the Healer (2012)

Appears on: WOW Hits 2014

## Lyrics

I've been the one

To shake with fear

And wonder if

You're even here

I've been the one

To doubt Your love

I've told myself

You're not enough

I've been the one

To try and say

I'll overcome

By my own strength

I've been the one

To fall apart

And start to question

Who You are

(Chorus)

You're the One who conquers giants

You're the One who calls out kings

You shut the mouths of lions

You tell the dead to breathe

You're the One who walks through fire

You take the orphan's hand

You are the One Messiah

You are I Am

I've been the one

Held down in chains

Beneath the weight

Of all my shame

I've been the one

To believe

That where I am

You cannot reach

(Chorus)

The veil is torn

And now I live

With the Spirit inside

The same One

The very same One

Who brought the Son

Back to life

Hallelujah, He lives in me

Hallelujah, He lives in me

Hallelujah, He lives in me

Hallelujah, He lives in me

## Lyrics

Where could I run, where could I hide

Where could I go where You are not

Where could I be where You don't see

All of these demons chasing me

What kind of sin could I find myself in

Where You wouldn't stop

The world from spinning 'round and 'round

When it seems like I am upside down

But in Your comfort I have found

A safe place to fall

(Chorus)

And I'll be alright

Safe inside

Stayin' alive

As long as You are watching over me

Where could I go where I don't know

All of the comfort You bestow

Where could I fall, where could I land

Where I'm not resting in Your hand

How could I stray too far away

Where You won't leave the ninety-nine

To come and bring me back

And put me on Your shoulders and

Carry me around Your neck

Until it's safe to walk

(Chorus)

And I will be fine

'Cause You are by my side

And I'll be okay

'Cause You're with me every day

This one thing is sure

I could never, ever ask for more

And I'll be alright

Safe inside

Stayin' alive

(Chorus x2)

Can I get a witness?

Ah- yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Can you get with this?

Ah- yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

(Post-Chorus)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Lookin' for some ladies and some young men

To run the race and endure it to the very end

No turning back, no quitting if you're gonna win

On your mark, get set, running like a champion

Have you heard the story about Joshua?

He was young, strong, and courageous

Not by power, nor was it by might my friend

"But by my Spirit," that's what the Lord says

(Chorus)

Witness? ah-Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Can you get with this? ah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Can I get a witness?

Ah- yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Can you get with this?

Ah- yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I believe God is calling you my friend

To shake your world upside-down and back again

Might be a hundred you might just be a little kid

But you can slay giants just the way that David did

I remember times when it was difficult

And I prayed that God would send a miracle

I don't know how but right up to this day

He made a way outta' no way and sho nuff delivered

(Chorus)

Sling shot in my back pocket track

Bumpin with a rock

Battle rocks by my side

Ready for apocalypse

Even these inventions unseen but heard

Not by power or might but by my spirit says the word

And who can be against us if you for us (nobody)

And who can shut us down if you with us (nobody)

And who can stop a thing that you started (nobody)

If you with us, put 'em up and be a witness

(Chorus x3)

If you with us, put 'em up and be a witness? (x4)

Why do we sing?

When we lift our hands to Jesus

What do we really mean?

Someone may be wondering

When we sing our song

At times we may be crying

And nothing's even wrong

(Chorus)

I sing because I'm happy (I sing)

I sing because I'm free (His eye's on)

His eye's on the sparrow (that's the reason)

That's the reason why I sing

Glory, hallelujah (You're the reason)

You're the reason why I sing (come on, say glory)

Glory, hallelujah (thank you Jesus)

You're the reason why I sing

Someone asked a question (oh, glory, why do we sing?)

Why do we sing? (When we lift our hands)

When we lift our hands to Jesus (oh, what do we really mean?)

What do we really mean? (Someone may be wondering)

Someone may be wondering (when we sing our song)

When we sing our song (at times we may)

At times we maybe crying (ha, and nothing's even wrong)

And nothing's even wrong (this is the reason why)

(Chorus)

Glory, hallelujah (I give the praises to You)

I give the praises to You (oh, hallelujah)

(Glory, hallelujah)

Glory, hallelujah (You're the reason why)

And when the song is over (we've all said Amen)

We've all said Amen (and your heart just keep on singing)

And your heart just keep on singing (and the song will never end)

And the song will never end (listen)

(And if somebody asks you)

And if somebody asks you (was it just a show?)

Was it just a show? (Lift your hands and be a witness)

Lift your hands and be a witness

And tell the whole world, "No" (listen ssh, and when we cross that river)

And when we cross that river (to study war no more)

To study war no more (we will sing)

We will sing our song to Jesus (the one whom we adore)

The one whom we adore

(Come on family, let's take it home)

(I sing because)

(Chorus)

(Post-Chorus)

You're the reason why I sing

(You're my melody at midnight, Jesus)

You're the reason why I sing

(You're my song in my storm, Jesus)

You're the reason why I sing

(You're the healing in my heart, Jesus)

You're the reason why I sing

(You're the reason why)

You're the reason why I sing

Oh, I love You

I love Your name, Jesus

If you're lost and you're far from reason

Just look up, know you are loved

Just look up, and know you are loved

If it hurts but you can't find healing

Just look up, know you are loved

Just look up, know you are loved

We're a light not expected

But not quite perfected yet

Look up see the sun is shining

There's hope on a new horizon

Calling you, calling
