In this time,
I know I need to be more broken,
Then I find,
I feel this passion grow,
To face all that’s been lost,
It’s not to late to give control now,
I don’t know why I wait,
You’re always calling me

[CHORUS]
Tonight,
I will take my cross,
Tonight,
I will count the cost,
Tonight I realize to take hold of this very moment

In this time,
You draw me by these words you’ve spoken,
I feel inside,
This never ending hope,
I’ve placed all that I trust in knowing one day I will see you,
The only thing worth holding onto is holding onto me

I will take this moment
And I feel that it’s closer
And I kneel to show you this desperate heart of mine

. . .



I've been here a thousand times before
Face down on the floor
Wondering how I even reached this place again

But, You have shown so endlessly, how Your love pours over me
No picture can re-create the beauty that I see

Chorus:
Show me what it means, to live my life a sacrifice
If only I would realize how much it took to pay the price
I know I'd always give, everything to You

I want this world to see
Your perfect majesty
Reflecting from my life this brilliant poetry

Written all over this place
The signs of all creation that You breathed
Words can't even state how much You mean to me

Chorus:

I want to face my very crime
Of not giving all of mine
But I can feel the hope You bring to me

(2x's)
Chorus

. . .


The fog has finally cleared to see,
The beautiful life you’ve given me
To feel the breeze of my newborn’s gentle breath
With one to walk hand in hand,
To share this life that you have planned
It’s like a storybook with dreams
That are meant to see every next step is an extraordinary scene

[CHORUS]
I know that I’ve been,
Given more than beyond measure,
I come alive when,
I see beyond my fears
I know that I’ve been given more than earthly treasure,
I come alive when
I’ve broken down and given you control

I’ve faced a great tragedy,
But have seen the works of what you bring
A display of faith that you give,
I don’t know if I will ever understand
The depth of what it is you’ve done inside,
But I know that I will won’t find any worth apart from you

Everything that I have
Has been given so unselfishly
And shown that even when I don’t deserve
You always show the fullness of your love

. . .


Have you been walking on a surface that’s uncertain
Have you helped yourself to everything that’s empty
You can’t live,
This way too long,
There’s more than this,
More than this

Have you been standing on your own feet too long
have you been looking for a place where you belong
You can rest,
You will find rest

[CHORUS]
Let this old life crumble,
Let it fade,
Let this new life offered be your saving grace,
Let this old life crumble let it fade,
Let it fade

Have you been holding on to what this world has offered
Have you been giving in to all these masquerades it will be gone,
It will be gone

[CHORUS]

Are you carrying the weight too much,
Are you running from the call

[CHORUS]

. . .


I fail in every single way
But every time I hear you say
"Faithful one, come in to this place
the place of rest where you belong,"
I anticipate the final day when
I fall into your warm embrace,
With everything that I’ve been through
Nothing else compares

[CHORUS]
And it feels like,
All these tears are coming through,
When I think of everything you do
And it feels like all this joy is bleeding through,
When I think of seeing you

I complicate this very state of resting in what you create,
Nothing goes out your control,
You’ve given me this very soul,
You cared enough to take my place,
And have given me unending grace,
I know that you know every need that’s my security

All your ways are so mysterious never far your ear to hear us
I’ll never thirst from this drink that you give when you are near

. . .


There’s no need to say a thing,
When I’m before you in this silence
I feel refreshed with peace
Break this noise that binds the voice
That tries speak open up my eyes to see
Your gracious sovereign reach

[CHORUS]
It’s hard to talk when I feel that you are near,
When all is quiet it’s the beauty that I hear,
This hidden place where I know that you calm my fears
I know that you’ve washed my tears

The seasons of change I’ve faced
Have never left me wounded
Only scars of hurt
But never deeply rooted
This healing I have felt
No burden can replace
Redemptive hope has been the story of my pain

All is lost without the breath of life you give
And you give so much
I want nothing more than you so here’s my heart

. . .


I know that every time
I find the one thing that holds me back inside
I want to tear apart
And bring my selfish pleasures at your feet
Every part of me is an offering,
I will set forth and lay it down at your throne
Because I live for you alone

[CHORUS]
No matter what it takes I will offer,
Everything I am I give to you
Even unto death I will follow,
No matter what the price I will give to you now

I won’t throw this time I have aside,
Your the very prize I have in sight,
You’ve placed this purpose down in me,
And it burns so deep
Let this life I lead bring you all the glory,
I’m entrusted with a gift that I can’t hide
Revive my heart, revive my mind

To live is to really die
I will keep this steady pace,
Until that final day

. . .


I picture all the things that I have seen,
All the broken hearts and tainted memories
All I see are all these needs
I’m tired of my selfish tragedies
It’s time that we show,
The hope that we all know

[CHORUS]
Take just a little time,
To give your hand,
See the world
And take just a little time and try to understand,
That there’s more going on,
Than what these eyes can see

I came across this torn down empty street
How helpless that I felt
A burning urgency
And all I see in front of me,
Are all the faces fading from this vacant scene

[CHORUS]

I know it all seems complicated,
There’s nothing more that could be stated,
Now is the time to kneel,
Reaching out to what is real,
So many times I’ve hesitated,
How much I feel my heart is aching now

. . .


I tried to find anything I could
To fill the void that I had felt inside,
I tried to hide because I never could
Release the very guilt that was in my mind,
But every time that I’d trace these lines,
I’d feel like I had been so blind cause

[CHORUS]
You are everything that I hope for,
Everything that I breathe for,
Everything that this heart will need,
Everything that I hope for,
Everything that I crave

Sometimes I feel a fight to release the grip
And trust that everything will be alright
It’s been so real to feel the peace that you give
Start unfolding when I let things go,
Every weight that I build inside,
When I lay it down I realize that

All these pointless ties to endless lies
That this temporal life will satisfy,
I hide my life in you

. . .


I’m always in this place,
Where the things I seem to take,
Are the things I wish would fade
I always purpose in my heart,
To do things the right way,
Then I realize I’m still clay
And this piece that’s being shaped,
Will be a beauty you create

[CHORUS]
I am nothing without your love
I’m unworthy but your death has been enough
I’m completed by your touch,
But I feel like I’ve been given so much and I thank you,
I thank you

I wouldn’t even face,
All the troubles of the day,
If it wasn’t for your grace
Sometimes I even wait,
To see if I’m awake,
Seems so good I can’t relate
Tour every word I crave,
And I’m grateful for every breath I take

When I’m feeling all my shame,
You won’t let it stay,
I sail away into your love
I’m taking every day,
To give my life away,
It’s the only way I know

. . .


We have raised a thousand voices just to lift your holy name
And we will raise thousands more to sing of your beauty in this place
None can even fathom, No, not one define your worth
As we marvel in your presence to the ends of the earth

[CHORUS]
We give you glory, lifting up our hands and singing Holy,
You alone are Worthy,
We just want to touch your heart Lord, touch your heart
Glory, lifting up our voice and singing holy,
You alone are Worthy,
We just want to touch your heart Lord, touch your heart

As we fall down before you with our willing hearts we seek
In the greatness of your glory, it’s so hard to even speak
There is nothing we can offer, no nothing can repay
So we give all our praises, and lift our voice to sing

Our hope is drenched in you,
Our faith has been renewed
We trust in your every word
Nothing else can even measure up to you

. . .


In the morning when I rise,
In the morning when I rise,
In the morning when I rise
Give me Jesus
Give me Jesus
Give me Jesus
You an have all this world
Just give me Jesus,
When I am alone,
When I am alone,
When I am alone,
Give me Jesus

[CHORUS]
When I come to die,
When I come to die,
When I come to die,
Give me Jesus

[CHORUS x 2]
