I LOVE YOU MORE
I love you more than a sailor loves the sea
More than a golfer loves the green
Way more than ornery old ladies love to be mean
And girl, that’s a lot, believe you me
I love you more than them astronauts love space
More than the IRS loves the tax base
Way more than middle school girls love to look at their own face
Girl, I’d win if this were a race
I love you more than a soldier loves the flag
More than men love to sit around and brag
More than a lazy old husband’s wife loves to nag
(Now wait a minute, she doesn’t like having to do that at all...)
I love you way more than anything else good
More even than I’ve understood
Oh girl, you’ve made me more happy than anything else could
And deep down, I knew that you would

BUILDING AND TEARING DOWN
For over thirty years I'm under Your knife
The road from there to here, one bloody, long night
Should I be awake for this?
I don't know if You'll cut or kiss
Are You building or tearing down?
Are You building or tearing down?
Do You build me by tearing me down?
Is this what You want to see or is it touch and go?
When You find what's killing me, how am I going to know?
Is it working this surgery?
Are You helping or hurting me?
(CHORUS)

WHY AM I SURPRISED
The sun's gonna rise, whether I'm looking or not,
If I'm awake or asleep,
If I am in or outside, it's gonna be bright and hot
So it's all up to me if I'm gonna like it or not
The rain's gonna fall on my head either way
Right on old clothes or new
Whether or not I like it at all, if I curse or say thanks
Oh, it's my attitude that's gonna break me or not
You do what You do, You don't ask me why
Whether I walk with You or fall a million times
Sometimes it storms, sometimes it's sunny skies
So why am I surprised by You?
Bad days must start just like good days must end
That's the way of this broken-down world
So patch up my heart, help me do this again
Otherwise I may spiral downward and fall apart
(CHORUS)
I could complain, I could scream and yell,
But You never explain Yourself to me
(CHORUS)

I DON’T CARE
You’re brokenhearted again,
You feel like no one’s there
And why would anyone care?
You think you’ve got no one to listen
And the mirror makes you scared
And why is life so unfair?
I don’t care what they think about you
I don’t listen to what they say
I’ve always had my eyes fixed on you
I’ve made up my mind, and I’m gonna stay
In love with you
You think no one would want you
Because of who you’ve been
And you’re so broken-down within
You think your dreams could never come true
So you give up on them
Before they can begin

JUST YOU WAIT
You feel alone here in this place
That no one understands you,
No one wants you, no kind face
You think nothing will ever change
That this is your life now
But hear me when I say
Just you wait, I'm not finished with you yet
I've never made a promise that I will forget
I know it's dark, I know you're longing for the day
But when you see what I have planned for you
Its gonna blow you away, just you wait
You settle for so much less than good
Like that's what you deserve,
You think you never could
Ever have a life that really satisfies
When will you ever stop
Listening to lies
(CHORUS)
I know it's hard, I know you're waiting for a break

THIS UNKNOWN LAND
If You make me a promise in the dead hours of the night
Can I hang my life upon it, knowing You will prove me right
And if they are impossible, the things You promised me
And if I feel like I’m a fool for saying I believe
Oh and if You speak in mysteries and keep Yourself disguised
Then You’re gonna have to help me please, to trust You past my eyes
And If I die a stranger with weary, empty hands
Still I will follow You into this unknown land
And if You give me all I ask for, if You answer every prayer
Does that mean You love me more, is that how You show You care
What if every day’s depressing, what if You rip my life apart
What if You take away my blessing, what if You break my heart
Can I walk with You in sunshine and then run away in rain?
Can I love You when things are fine and hate You in the pain
If I die not knowing why You do the things You do
Even so, still I will walk with You
And if You never tell me all the whys behind Your plan
Still I will walk with You into this unknown land

EVERY TIME
Well I used to run around
You could say I still do I guess
But the seedier side of this run down old town
Has long been my address
Like a freshly pressed suit
Like knocking mud off of my boots
You've made Your mind
You tell me we're just fine
Oh You forgive me every time
Just when I think I have changed
When I feel I’ve learned some control
I prove to myself I’m exactly the same
As the very worst person I know
But like a shower after work
Like the medicine when it hurts
You've made Your mind
You tell me we're just fine
Oh You forgive me every time
If anyone else ever knew
All the stuff that plays out in my head
All of my friends would tell me “We’re through!”
But You just pursue me instead
But like the covers when it’s cold
Like a fresh fallen blanket of snow,
You've made Your mind
You tell me we're just fine
Oh You forgive me every time

START AGAIN
When I had broken every rule,
When I had failed every test,
It was then You loved this fool
It was then You called me blessed
When I expected a holy frown,
While I waited on the hammer to fall
It was then that You reached down
And my name You sweetly called
Can I really come to You
In spite of who I’ve been?
Can this really be true,
Can I really start again
When I had gone so far astray
Unfaithful to every vow
It was then You made a way
To bring me back somehow
When I was cold as I could be
When I was harder than a stone
It was then You wanted me
To be Your very own
(CHORUS)
And when I keep on falling down,
When I stumble and struggle to change,
It is then You’re still around
Saying You love me the same
(CHORUS)

I DON’T HAVE TO
I don’t have to be somebody
I don’t have to win
I don’t have to prove myself
over and over again
I don’t have to pretend I’m something
I don’t have to hide
I don’t have to try and be
Something that is just a lie
It can be hard to believe
But You want me, just me
I don’t have to hate myself,
Every single time I fall
I don’t have to put on airs
Or make believe I’m standing tall
I guess I could clean up my act
I could try to behave
But the folks who don’t need help
Are not the ones You came to save
As crazy as it seems
You want me, just me
I don’t have to base my life
On some standard I can’t keep
You don’t want me to be anybody
But plain-old me
As unlikely as it seems
You want me, just me

I THANK GOD
How did I get here
In spite of all of the roads I took
When I tore so many pages
Oh how did these words end up in my book
I’d like to know how a guy like me
Ever wound up with a girl so sweet
It must just be mercy
That you could love the likes of me
So I thank God, I thank God
Oh, and I lift up my hands oh baby
You and I both there’s no two ways
And there’s no maybe
I could never earn a love like yours
So I just thank God
I never imagined
That I would have more than I ever dreamed
I could not have invented
A life for myself even better than it seems
Makes me want to stand up and take stock
Of all of my problems, then laugh those troubles away
‘Cause the One who give you to me
Can handle anything
(CHORUS)
God, You wove this tapestry
Through pain and joy so beautifully

WATCHING YOU
Miles above the roof just feet above your head
There’s a canopy of cloud
It hides the stars while you are sleeping in your bed
And blocks the light for now
Sometimes they blow away
Sometimes they swell and rain
While we wonder what they’ll do,
The One who knows is watching you
Light years beyond the clouds just miles from where you sleep
The stars shine, spin and burn
Explosive oceans tied up tight by gravity
And you safely watch them turn
And there are billions on and on
But sometimes you see just one
You’re just like those unseen stars
There’s One who knows right where you are
So sleep, oh sleep
Lay your head down in peace
‘Cause baby it’s true
God is watching you

Would you take me back after all I said last night?
Oh God, what an angry, messy, awful, bloody fight
I was so cruel, so hateful, so wrong and so unkind
Would it help if I said “I’m sorry” a hundred times
But you say, “Shhh, I know, come lie down by me”
You say, “Shhh, I know, and it’s okay baby,
I still want you to be the one,
I still want you and it’s all gone”

But You came down and bled to set me free
Oh, You came down and You came after me
If not for You, who would I be?
I used to be a mess
I used to be so aimless
I was so far gone
So broken and so hopeless

I am God’s child, forgiven and clean
I am precious to Jesus, my King

Well I don’t need some beach house in the sun
Or a great big, fancy, luxury sedan
And I don’t need to travel to have fun
But I’d really love to hold your hand
And I know we don’t have much
But baby it’s enough, yeah, it’s enough if I’ve got you
Im never gonna win that lottery
I’ll probably never see the Taj Mahal
But I know I’ve got all I’ll ever need
‘Cause you and me makes us and that is all
Well sure it’s just us, mmm, but that’s enough,
Ah yeah, that’s enough if I’ve got you
Years from now I probably won’t have hair
And I dare say I won’t smile with every tooth
But girl, if you’re cool I don’t really care
‘Cause all I need is you and that’s the truth
I may not always be this buff, I hope it’s enough
Ah yeah, it’s enough if I’ve got you

CALLOWAY
Parker Allen Calloway only drives on sunny days
And if it rains he always stays under the covers
It’s not that he dislikes the rain, it’s really quite hard to explain
But I would pin the whole dang thing upon his mother
See, on the 21st birthday of Mr. P.A. Calloway
A gorgeous ragtop Chevrolet was his to keep
Mother dearest told him, “Son, now go on out and have some fun,
But mess that car up and you’re done. I mean, dead meat.”
So on a semi-cloudy day, the son of Hazel Calloway
Cruised on down the motor way, and then it rained
Parker wrestled with the top, but he could not get those latches off
And the torrential downpour wouldn’t stop, Oh man, it was insane
Then a tractor-trailer lost it’s grip, it hydroplaned, began to slip,
Hit Parker’s Chevy, then it flipped and caught on fire
But that was nothing to the rage of Hazel Meadows Calloway
You should have seen her on that day, It was inspired!
Parker Allen Calloway never spoke again they say
He goes through every day afraid along as she’s alive
But if the sky’s a cloudless blue, and he has a few things left to do
Well, mostly if she tells him to, you might see him drive

Go on, pour down on me
Soak me to the bone
There ain’t nowhere else I can go
Pull that rug from underneath,
Watch me topple down
There ain’t nowhere else life can be found
Go on, don’t answer me
Just like you ain’t there
But I’ll keep on shouting to the air
In a world of death and suffering
Of pain and cries for help
Oh Lord, You did not save yourself

MY SAVIOR WILL BE NEAR
Verse lyrics by: William Cowper
The saints should never be dismayed,
Nor sink in hopeless fear,
For when they least expect His aid,
The Savior will appear
He’ll never leave me, He won’t forsake me
The Lord’s my helper, this world can’t shake me
Whatever troubles may appear,
My Savior will be near
Oh proofs of power and grace Divine
That meet us in His word!
May every deep-felt care of mine
Be trusted with the Lord
(CHORUS)
Wait for His seasonable aid,
And though it tarry, wait:
The promise may be long-delayed,
But cannot come too late
(CHORUS)

TWINS
When the rain comes down and the puddles splash
Harriet frowns, but Angie laughs,
Pulls on her boots, her coat and hat
Harriet yells, “Mom, Angie’s goin’ out!”
And then like a bomb, the girls start to shout
Mother runs in, “What’s this all about?”
They’re swinging and pulling hair
They’re biting and kicking shins
The next door neighbors stare,
“Oh who ever saw such twins, I ask you?”
When Lorraine found out she was having twins
She shouted out, “Naw, look again.”
The doctor just gave her a nervous grin
See, there in the ultrasound, four tiny hands
Were flailing around to beat the band
Punching just as hard as those little arms can
The doc said, “In all my years,
I’ve never seen the like of this”
Lorraine said, “It’s my worst fear,
See, I have my own twin sister...”
Angie and Harriet can’t get along,
It’s all screams and spit and “I’m right, she’s wrong!”
Lorraine just says, “Girls, I’ve heard that song.”
But she doesn’t waste away, no she don’t wear thin,
She just silently prays again and again
“When they grow up Lord, give them twins.”

So I’m trusting in Your grace
I’m resting on your love
I know that I am weak
I know that I need help
So I’m begging on my knees
I can’t do this by myself
Lord, all I have
Lord, all I need
Is You right now
You here with me
Well I don’t need advice
Or principles for change
I need You in my life
I need Your power today
I know that on my own
My life would be a mess
Don’t leave me here alone
I’m desperate, I confess
(CHORUS)
You’re all I have
You’re all I need
Help me right now
Lord, change me

WHEN DARKNESS REIGNS
Has it gone so far, and Oh, who could have known?
The crowds would press so hard, And now He cries alone
Torches pierce the night, Judas calls His name,
He stands in flickering light, His friends all run away
Will You leave Him now, bound and alone,
Will you run away?
And yet this is how He said it would go
In the hour when darkness reigns
Mockers point and laugh, they’re lying through their teeth
And oh, it’s a bloodbath, will He get no relief?
He’s carrying the cross on through the town,
His legs are giving way,
He’s paying the cost, He’s bearing it now,
In the hour when darkness reigns
The sky is black as coal, the rain falls like a flood,
The world has grown so cold, the only smell is blood
Father, where are you? Oh where have You gone?
Do You hear a word I say?
Is it really true? Am I all alone
In the hour when darkness reigns?

O MAN OF SORROWS
O blessed Jesus, has it come to this;
Taken, beaten, bound for us, and betrayed with a kiss?
Jesus, You are innocent, sinless Son of Man,
Will You bear our punishment, O will they bind Your hands?
O Man of Sorrows, O broken heart,
Your mercy overflows all alone You bore the dark
My wrong drove away the light from this pitch-black day,
You alone can make me right and drive my sin away
O blessed Jesus, will You give Your life;
Will You spill Your blood for us, O will You sacrifice?
O Man of Sorrows, O Lamb of God,
O the pain that no one knows was the price for the lives You bought
Will You let them mock Your name; will You let them laugh?
Will You really wear their shame, O will You drink the wrath?
O blessed Jesus, silent as a stone
Will You take the blame for us, and will You die alone?
O Man of Sorrows, O perfect Son
O heart unshadowed, the only sinless One
O Man of Sorrows, O love unknown,
Your endless mercy flows, for You faced my cross alone
O precious Jesus, broken and alone
You laid down Your life for us to make us Your own

And if the moon so big and bright gave up on the night
Still I will never forget you, never forget you, never forget you
Oh I will never forget you, never forget you, never forget you
If you could measure every star in this universe so wide,
If a mother’s heart forgot the child crying by her side
Still I will never forget you, never forget you, never forget you
Oh I will never forget you, never forget you, never forget you

And in Jesus Christ our Savior,
Son, begotten of the Father
God of God and Light of Light,
Who made all things by His own might
God of God, begotten, not made
For our salvation, incarnate

Made a man, was born to Mary
Suffered, died, rose on the third day
Then ascended into heaven,
Seated at the Father’s right hand
I believe it, You’ve set me free
I believe it, You’ve made me me
I believe in the church of Jesus,
For our sins there is forgiveness
I believe in the resurrection
And in life that’s everlasting
I believe it, You are the Lord
I believe it, You made me Yours
I believe it, You’ve set me free
I believe it, You’ve made me me

Whenever any hard times come to call
They’re pulling hairs out or making ‘em turn gray
Worrying and wondering about it all
But You do what You want, when You want, how You want
And maybe by and by we’ll understand
There won’t come a day where I know everything
So I’m gonna stay a baby on your knee
And I don’t need to know why
So I don’t want to grow past
Being a baby on your knee
There are folks who think they’ve got You figured out
And they know just why You’ve done the things You did
But They don’t know just what they’re talking about
They’re just scared You’ll do the same to them
Oh the pain of this world is so mysterious and deep
but You have felt it in Your feet and hands
(CHORUS)
But You do what You want, when You want, how You want
And maybe by and by we’ll understand
And the pain of this world is so mysterious and deep

Oh, you make me love you

With every breath you take in

Where I end you begin
Am I dreaming? Can this really be?
If I’m dreaming, let me sleep
Darlin, there’s nothing from you that I could hide
And yet you still want me
Your heart’s a fortress that I am safe inside
Protected and set free

LIMBS
Look down, am I difficult to see?
Words sound indistinct when they reach me
How can I tell if you sincerely understand?
My life is in your hand
Carry me round and lay me down
Wrapped up in your limbs
My heart rate slows like falling snow
A peaceful, silent drift
Arms up, I don’t reach for just anyone
That cup, only you know the perfect one
I can just tell you, sincerely want me here
You shelter out that fear

BEFORE
Who told you I’d be here?
You always seem to find me when I think I am well hid
And do you smell all of my fears?
‘Cause I don’t think that I wear them on my sleeves quite like I did
When we were younger, and you were kinder
You didn’t try to break my heart
I don’t want you around
So walk on out that door
I’m tired of the sound
Of the shit you always say
You’ve said it all before
Who said you could come back?
You keep hanging round the door when it is clearly bolted shut
Yeah, the combination’s cracked
Who told the code when I really didn’t want to open up?
But you harassed me, said some mean things
You’re just tearing things apart
(CHORUS)
Now I’m older, not all that wiser
But don’t you even start

CAYENNE DIANE
There’s a new girl in the second grade and her name is Diane
The one thing that she really hates is when her food is bland
So every day just about noon, right there in the lunch line,
It don’t matter what the food, you’re gonna hear her whine and whine
Pass those jalapenos, give me chilies and some cayenne
I need more of that Tobasco or my name’s not Diane
Mashed potatoes or grilled cheese or salisbury steak,
You won’t hear her asking, “please?” - she’ll say, “put it on my plate!”
You might think I’m lying but I’m telling you the truth
That girl put some pepper right in Monday’s chocolate mousse
Pass those jalapenos, give me chilies and some cayenne
I need more of that Tobasco or my name’s not Diane
Then one Thursday afternoon on Alfie Clark’s birthday
Our teacher walked into the room with a lit up birthday cake
The teacher tripped, she dropped the cake, we gasped and watcher her fall
But Diane ran, jumped up and ate the cake and candles all...
She said, “It’s a good cake, but it sure could use some spice.”
Won’t you pass those habeneros, give me kimshi and some cayenne
I need more General Tso’s or my name’s not Diane

CHERISH AND SHARE
I remember holding you
When you first opened your eyes
Too beautiful to be true
And yet somehow mine
Oh, how am I going to do this?
Your eyes are so light and so deep,
I lose myself in wonder
Your laugh is so bright and so sweet
And your embrace like thunder
Oh, how am I going to do this?
You’re a treasure meant for me
To cherish and to share
I hope I do this well
You seem to grow in double time
I don’t want to blink and miss you
But I won’t stop because you’re mine
Baby just pass those tissues
Oh, how am I going to do this?
(CHORUS)
One day you’ll turn loose of my hand
And you will go your own way
Darlin’ I hope you understand
All the things that I can’t say
How am I going to do this?
Lord, help me to do this

It won’t be long ‘till my race is run
I’m gonna walk with You until I make it home
It’s almost over, help me hold on
Lord, won’t You sing a new song, and roll back the sky
Come on and right every wrong, dry every eye
Lord, won’t You sing a new song, and roll back the sky
Come on and right every wrong, dry every eye

Let it wash away the pain and bring eternal life

SHEPHERD PSALM
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not be in need
He makes me lie down in pastures, in pastures that are green
Beside quiet waters He leads me and He restores my soul
In righteous paths He guides me, there for His name’s sake I go
And even though I walk through the valley
Of the shadow of death
I will fear no evil,
I find comfort in Your rod and Your staff
When all I see are enemies, a banquet You have prepared
You pour the oil over me, my cup overflows when I’m there
Surely goodness and love, they will follow me
And they’ll follow me all of my days
In the house of the Lord is where I will be
That is where I’ll be always

MAKE IT RIGHT
It’s a cool night, she lays a soft head down
She says, “Sleep tight, baby don’t cry now,
It’s been a long time coming.”
The wind blows, that whole town’s asleep
she knows she won’t get a wink
With her heart inside her pounding
And her baby sleeping soundly
Did You come into our world without us noticing
Did You carry all our sorrows in Yours eyes
And when Your mama rocked You sound asleep with her singing
Did You close them knowing You would make it right?
Starlight tore and lit the ground
Just like the world might break under the sound
Of fiery wings and singing
Tears poured as they put their campfires out
And they laughed more as they rushed into the town
With joy and fear and praising
Oh, let’s go find that baby
(CHORUS)
Did You come into our world without us noticing
Did You carry all our sorrows in Yours eyes
And when Your mama rocked You sound asleep with her singing
Did You close them knowing it would be alright?
Did You close them knowing You would make it right?

THE END OF FEAR
From the Garden to the gate, from the cradle to the grave
We’re all underneath that weight, we’re all terribly afraid
We’ve broken Your heart, we’ve broken our vow
We’re driven apart, what cane we do now
“Do not fear,” the angels sang
God is here and everything has changed
Christ has come, Love draws near
A Savior is born, He’s the end of fear
From the first man to the last, from the first taste of that fruit,
We’re all running from our past, we’re all hiding out from You,
When we were afraid, too scared to call,
You made a way, Oh and God became small

SO YOU CAN KNOW
Lee Younger & Jed Brewer
I want you know how you’re loved
I want you to hope in what’s coming
And I would give everything just so you can know
I want you to see how He sees you
You need to believe how you need Him
I would give anything just for you to know
Jesus came to seek the lost
He found me and I heard His call
Now I go where He leads
So you can know a life set free
I want you to know a new start,
I want you to show how a heart can
Turn into something new when He lives inside
I want you to see what He paid,
You need to believe that He gave
And that He’s still giving so you can be alive

Welcome home, sweet baby
You’ve had a lot of changes to face
Now you’ll always be
Forever family
‘Cause darlin’ we’ve prepared you a place
Welcome home, sweet treasure
We’ve been waiting, hoping just for you
Finally the day
When I will hold your face
You are like a thousand dreams come true
You’ve already known such sorrow
So many worries, fears and cares
But there’s a brighter day tomorrow
Oh, you’re the answer to our prayers
Welcome home, my baby
I can’t tell you how good that feels to say
No one understands
What it means to hold your hand
Oh honey, I’ve been longing for this day
You will never be alone, dear
I can promise from the start
You will always have a home here
You will always have my heart
Welcome home, my child
Oh, whatever you have to go through,
You won’t be alone
Babe, you are our own
And darlin’ we will always love... love, love, love you
Welcome home

BECAUSE YOU PAID
I am accepted because of Your love
Not ‘cause You counted all the things I have done
I did not deserve it, and I did not choose
I could not earn it, so it’s love I can’t lose
The promise came from You, the promise I believe
The love I can’t undo, I gratefully receive
Because You paid to make me free
Because You gave, Lord I believe
You love me
You knew all my failures before there was one;
I needed a Savior, and look what You’ve done!
And before I loved You, You knew who I’d be;
You came to my rescue, ‘cause You wanted me
The promise came from You, the promise I believe
The love I can’t undo, I gratefully receive

YOU DELIGHTED IN ME

From my enemy

I lifted my voice, you heard my cry
You parted the heavens, You tore back the sky
You delighted in me,
You loved me when I was Your enemy

Oh Love come down and rescue us from us
Well, it’s broken here and we don’t see relief
Lord, we need some hope
It’s lonesome here, oh beyond belief
We need a hand to hold
We are crying out to You Jesus
Oh love, come down, rescue us from us
The Light of the World has now shown
The Prince of Peace, on His throne
The hope of my heart has drawn hear
God with us is here

CHANGING ME
I thought that knowing You meant walking a straight line,
But what good would that do for a heart as dark as mine?
I’ve never been so glad to be wrong
I’m not who I was, ‘cause You’re not who I expected
I am new because Lord, You say I’m accepted
And You’re changing me, changing me, changing me
You’re changing me, changing me, changing me
I thought that pleasing You meant cleaning up my act,
But no matter what I do, You always take me back
I’ve never been so glad to be wrong
(CHORUS)
It’s all because of You that I am changing
It’s not what I can do, but that You love me

STOP ME
Stop me if You’ve heard this before
Or maybe indulge me one more time
It’s getting hard to ignore
And nobody knows this more than I do
I’m losing my grip on all that’s real
Oh, I need You to feel it for me
Lately, everything that You say
Goes in one ear and out the next
I can’t seem to retain anything,
And so I just walk around perplexed,
Does that vex you? ‘Cause You sure don’t seem to mind
You tell me we’re just fine
All I can see are these filthy hands
And I don’t want to try
But You know where this plane is going to land
And how long it will fly
Someday, when I outgrow myself
And life is a distant memory,
Like cobwebs on the very top shelf,
You’ll sweep my past away from me
And I’ll sing with a heart so much lighter than air
Oh I can’t wait to be the me who’s there
|

I WANT TO LOVE YOU
I want to pour out my heart, Lord, I want to risk it all
No holding back from the start, I’m not afraid to fall
I want to give everything, to sit down and talk a while
I want to laugh and sing, I want to win your smile
I want to love You Lord, I want to feel it,
I want to say the words, live it and breathe it
I want to love You Lord, I want to feel it,
I want to say the words, live it and breathe it
You loved me when I was lost, when I ran, You followed me
You paid the highest cost, You died to make me free
You meet my every need, You comfort my weary heart
You never stop watching me, You promise we’ll never part

LULLABY (REJOICE)
Baby, little one,
Go to sleep in my arms
Baby, little boy,
Filling my heart with joy
Baby, don’t you cry,
Go to sleep, close your eyes
Rest your head in my arms
Warm and fed, safe from harm
Baby, little one,
Go to sleep in my arms,
Baby, heart so sweet,
Why have you come to me?
Man of sorrows, tear-dimmed face
Sadness follows, pain and disgrace;
Thorns on your brow, arms stretched wide
cold and alone now, born to die
Is this why you came,
Will you die to pay?
Baby, little one,
Go to sleep in my arms
Baby, little one
Is this why you have come?
Refrain
So I will rejoice,
I will raise my voice
Now we need not fear the grave,
Jesus Christ was born to save
Now we hear of endless bliss,
Jesus Christ was born for this
Christ was born to save,
Christ was born to save

WHEN I FIND OUT THE TRUTH
You tell me I’m disqualified because of what I’ve done
That no one’s ever been this bad, like I’m the only one
You tell me that I’ve gone too far and that He won’t take me back
You tell me that I am the straw that broke the camel’s back
Oh, you tell me lies
But is that all you can do?
Tell me where will you hide
When I find out the truth
You tell me I’m alone because there’s something wrong with me
Like, who would ever want to fall in love with what I see?
You tell me that I should give up, that things will never change
You tell me that my life is always gonna be this way (CHORUS)
The truth is I’m loved with a love that is wild
And that God would do anything to make me His child
The truth is I am clean, ‘cause He paid to make me new
The truth is, I’m forever sealed and there’s nothing you can do
You tell me I will have to pay the price for all my wrong
You load me down with guilt and shame, but I sing a new song
Oh, you tell me lies
But is that all you can do?
When will you realize
That I believe the truth

MARY THE BRAVE
No one listened, no one believed,
They just whispered, they gossiped and grieved
But one brave girl walked into the mess
Willingly, you said yes
No baby shower, no joyful tears,
Just pointed fingers, sickness and fear
And one brave girl who faced all the mess
Gracefully, you said yes
No celebration with family and friends,
Just shepherds, the strangers that angels would send
To the stable, the husband, the baby, the mess
And the brave girl who said yes,
Oh brave girl, you said yes

I don’t know how it’s all going to work out
But I believe it’s true
I can’t quite see how it can come to be,
But I believe in You
Even if the whole world thinks
That I have lost my mind
I believe in You Lord Jesus
That You came to rescue us
Even if no one stands with me
I will stand alone, believing
Everyone I know says that I’m a fool
But I believe it’s true
They won’t let it go, saying she’s untrue
But I believe in You
Even if the whole world thinks
That I have lost my mind
I believe in God the Father
Earth and heaven’s Almighty Maker
In Jesus Christ, His only Son
Who came to die, the Holy One

When I have had enough and this life is too much
And I just want to run away
When I am underneath the weight of everything
And there is nothing left to say
You’re here with me
You can help and heal
Lord, You’re here with me
And You know how it feels
When every move I make brings on more heartache
And there is nothing left to do
When I am all alone and no place feels like home
I know one thing is always true

IT WON’T ALWAYS BE THIS WAY
There’s a girl in the garden
And the fruit is in her hand
A snake is making her a bargain
Right beside her silent man
That first bite looked appetizing
I guess the second did as well
But that next moment, how surprising
Oh, the aftertaste was hell
Oh, what will He do,
Oh, what will He say?
When He catches you
Will it always, will it always be this way?
So the world just started breaking
She asked her man to look away
And she felt somehow forsaken
Her heart filled up with fear and shame
Guess we’ll have to cover up now
Drop the fruit and grab some leave
We’ve got to hide from Him somehow
‘Cause I can’t bear for Him to see
Oh, what have you done?
Oh, don’t run away,
I will send Someone,
It wont always, it won’t always be this way
There’s a man in the garden
The blood from His pores
Then angry men are laughing, kicking
They’re gonna make Him bleed some more
Now see Him hanging there forsaken
The sky is black, although it’s day
He’s saying, “Father, please forgive them
Don’t let it always be this way”

REINDEER (REALLY)
This Christmas please don’t give me tons of things
That I will be tired of when the new year rings
Oh, don’t give me candy or little toy dolls
Or those stretchy hands that stick up on the wall
I don’t need a stocking as big as my head
That’s filled up with junk like what’s under my bed
I only want one thing in front of my eyes
When I’m out of my bed on 12/25
I want a reindeer, that’s right, a reindeer
I want a reindeer and it better be able to fly
I want a reindeer, not just any old reindeer
Well I want a reindeer, so get ready to buy
I don’t need a sweater that I’ll never wear
Please don’t buy socks or brand new underwear
I don’t know one person who likes candy canes
So don’t waste your time or your money that way
Don’t give me wrapped up gifts, I will refuse
This year I want something I’ll really use
I’m tired of riding the bus to the school
And bumming for rides everywhere isn’t cool
I want a reindeer, you heard me a reindeer
I want a reindeer and it better be able to fly
I want a reindeer, not just any old reindeer
But I’m not picky, It can be a girl or a guy
