Do you wonder why you have to
Feel the things that hurt you
If there's a God who loves you, where is He now

Maybe there are things you can't see
And all those things are happening
To bring a better ending

Someday, somehow you'll see, you'll see

Would you dare, would you dare to believe
That you still have a reason to sing
Cause the pain that you've been feeling
It can't compare to the joy that's coming
So hold on, you gotta wait for the light
Press on and just fight the good fight
Cause the pain that you've been feeling
It's just the dark before the morning

My friend, you know how this all ends
You know where you're going
You just don't know how you'll get there
So say a prayer

And hold on, cause there's good for those who love God
But life is not a snapshot
It might take a little time but you'll see the bigger picture

Once you feel the weight of glory
All your pain will fade to memory

It's just the hurt before the healing
Oh, the pain that you've been feeling
It's just the dark before the morning

Every bit of history
And every single breath we breathe
Has led us here and brought us to our knees
From carrying the curse we bear
And praying that He's heard our prayers
To set us free
Oh, set us free

Cause we could never get back home with broken hearts
So Home has come to meet us where we are

So sing, God is with us
Sing, He has come to save us
Sing, He will never leave us
Glory in the highest, everybody sing
To the One who is our King
He has come to bring redemption to us
God is with us
Glory in the highest, everybody sing

We have found our hope again
In the Son of God and Son of Man
This Savior King is changing all we know
By carrying the curse we bear
For everybody everywhere
He lived and died and brought us life
And we will rise to meet Him in the sky

Jesus, Jesus, our Emmanuel
God is with us now

Cause we could never get back home with broken hearts
So Home has come to us

Savior, please take my hand
I work so hard, I live so fast
This life begins, and then it ends
And I do the best that I can, but I don't know how long I'll last

I try to be so tough
But I'm just not strong enough
I can't do this alone, God I need You to hold on to me
I try to be good enough
But I'm nothing without Your love
Savior, please keep saving me

Savior, please help me stand
I fall so hard, I fade so fast
Will You begin right where I end
And be the God of all I am because You're all I have

Hallelujah
Everything You are to me
Is everything I'll ever need
And I am learning to believe
That I don't have to prove a thing
'Cause You're the one who's saving me

I tried to write a song
And keep it 3 minutes long
Get in, get out, nobody gets hurt
And I tried a thousand times
To fit God between the lines
But I'm finding out that doesn't really work

I just don't have the words to say
Cause words only get in my way

I must apologize, I have the hardest time
Finding something to define a God that I can't define
And even if I could, it would take way too long
If all I've got is a 3 minute song

I've got a hundred metaphors
And if I had a million more
I could never ever seem to sum this up
Besides, how can some melody
Communicate eternity
It's like trying to fit the ocean in a cup

I'll never find the words to say
Cause words only get in my way

I would like to dumb this down to 3 chords or maybe 4
But I've tried and I can't and I won't cause there will always be more

So I apologize
I can't seem to get it right

To those whose steps aren't steady
To those whose hearts are heavy
To those whose faith is all but gone
To those that struggle on, struggle on

Come and lay your burdens down
Come lift your empty hands
You are not alone, we are not alone
So, hold on

To all the saints that keep on praying
And all the children that keep on waiting
And all those that sing the Savior's song
Lift your heads up and keep on living
Hold tight to the hope we are given
For we know that we won't be waiting long

Can you hear the music playing
Can you feel the dream is waking
We are running towards redemption
We are never standing still

Through the problems and the pain
Through the striving and the strain
You are not alone, we are not alone
So hold on

He is coming soon, He is coming soon
He will take His bride, He will make her new
He is coming soon, He is coming soon to carry us home

I'm thirsty, God, I'm thirsty
From drinking what destroys me
I'm pouring poison in my cup

I'm hungry, God, I'm hungry
Consuming what controls me
Somehow it never fills me up

We all want to find something to pass the time
But that could never be enough

Everybody says we're all so different
But everybody knows we're all the same
We're all trying to find a pill to numb the pain
Something's got to change

Do you remember when you
Had so much hope within you
It lingers deep inside you still

The more of us we swallow
The more we become hollow
Until we don't know how to feel

We all want to find something to satisfy
But we could never be enough

When everything we say and take just leads to war and hate
We only pass the blame, sedate the pain, and move along
But something feels so wrong, so deep inside, so hard to hide
So desperately we try and try, and come to find that we are not what we've been loving for
I can't believe I"m hearing people say that all is well
I think it's time we all admit we have no good within ourselves
'Cause we are not okay, we're not alright, and we need to pray for help
Forgive us for our pride, Oh God, Oh God, please save us from ourselves

the fading sun, the rising moon
are fighting for the afternoon
the day gives in, gives up its light
the stars wake up, to keep the night

and as you glory fill the sky, I wonder
how could you
consider me
so much more
than all i see
cause i am not
have never been
beautiful like this

my weary words, and broken lies
are set beneath, your summer skies
what's worn and wrong, what's good and right
I laid before, my eyes tonight

but you make all things new
Jesus, you make all things new
I'm beautiful in you, oh, oh, oh

that's how you could
consider me
so much more
than all i see
redemption mends
a brokenness
it heals our wounds
removes our sins
your purest love
was humbly spent
to bow our hearts
and draw me in
where i become
whole again
I'm beautiful like this
I'm beautiful like this

what can wash away my sin
nothing but your blood oh Jesus
Thank you, Thank you Jesus

Well I live too loud and I talk too much
But somehow I don't see it as such
Seems like what I love the most
Is the sound of my own voice

I pray my list and I say my piece
I check You off but I'm incomplete
Seems like what I'm missing most
Is the sound of Your voice

So why is it so hard for me
To shut my mouth and let you speak
Why do I feel the need to always keep on talking
Well I know I need to hear from You
I know what I have got to do
To find what I've been missing
I've got to learn to listen

A wise man hears before he speaks
He knows he doesn't know everything
I wish that sounded more like me
But I have got so far to go

Why is my first reaction
To give my own opinion
Like I could tell You something
You don't already know

Try and pretend that you're okay
But I don't believe the smile you fake
It's about time that you stopped saving face

I'll meet you where you are, I'll meet you where you are

Why don't you let me, let me love you
Oh, you don't have to prove a thing
Why don't you let me, let me love you
For you who you are, not who you should be
Let me love you
And I will let you love me too

Why are you scared to tell the truth
What do you think you're gonna lose
You know we're forgiven, not accused
