all my world
all I've lost
the wrecks I've made here
the lives it cost
Your hand restores
Your words make whole
with all my soul
I thank You
I owe You
all my:

devotion
all that I have to give
here's my devotion
You're all that it means to live

all my past
my tainted name
You stole its legacy
of pride and shame
You're all I love
You're all I fear
I'm drawing near
to face You
to know You
to show You:

devotion
all that I have to give
here's my devotion
You're all that it means to live

You found me
in a shallow grave
You dragged (called) me out from beneath it all
You healed (touched) me
saved me
in the nick of time
Your perfect time
You found me (found me)
in a shallow grave (in a shallow grave)
You called me out from beneath it all
You touched me (touched me)
saved me (saved me)
in the nick of time
in Your perfect time

I devote all I have to You
I devote all that You've made new
all You restored that day You bled
all that You brought back from the dead
all:

devotion (You're all...)
You're all that I have to give
You're all that it means to live
here's my devotion, my devotion
all that it means to live (You're all that means to live)

my Lord
my devotion

They shine like dawn on an open Psalm
A knowing smile from something You said
I hunger for the daily bread of Your ways
Ah, the bread of Your ways
They glow like blue in a field of black
Illuminating the runway ahead
I love to follow the angel tread of Your way
Ah, the tread of Your ways

Chorus
I love Your ways (Your true, Your perfect ways)
I love Your ways (so beautiful to me)
Lovely always (and faithful to restore)
I love Your ways

And when I tire, they bring a second wind
A word in season, a gleam in Your eye
I love to feel the runner's high of Your ways
I lived so long under basement floors
The flickering lights. the windowless gloom
I'm here to stay in the upper room of Your ways

Chorus

I need Your good word speaking
When there's nothing to say
I need Your Spirit here
Breathing on me every day
Every night I need Your love's pure light
And I've learned forever to trust
Ever to follow
Ever I'll praise Your everlasting ways
Your everlasting ways
Your everlasting ways

Chorus

I love Your ways

I lift up my voice
To the King, King of Glory
I hold out my hands
To the One who is worthy
I long for Your presence
I long, Lord I need Your touch

Chorus:
Come, O Lord, and fill up my life
With the light of Your presence
This is my heart’s desire
O Father, Come and let your Spirit abide
I long for your presence
This is my heart’s desire

I long to be washed in the well of your mercy
I long to be warmed by the fire of your glory
I long for your presence
I long for your healing touch

Chorus

Come and let your Spirit abide
I long for your presence
This is my heart’s desire
It’s my desire
Lord, you’re my desire
I want to feel your presence (x3)
I want to feel your presence Jesus

Chorus

strong and mighty
strong to save us
like a fortress
never failing

strong in battle
strong in kindness
when we stray, Lord
You're strong to find us

when the winds come hard against us
You are steadfast, You are true
when the ground beneath us trembles
Your foundation never moves

Chorus
strong tower
high and glorious
strong tower
mighty in love
our refuge
our defender
strong tower
Lord above

strong to lead us
through the shadows
strong to carry
all our sorrows

when the enemy surrounds us
closing in as darkness falls
though his armies rage against us
they can never scale these walls

- Chorus -

Bridge
You are my shelter, my shield
You are the home I could never deserve
here I will serve, ever under Your gaze
here I will serve, ever singing Your praise

- Chorus (2x) -

strong tower
Lord above
strong tower
Lord above

God of all nations
Lord of creation
It's in the bonds of love we meet
We come together at Your feet
Equal in Your sight
Made one by Your might
You've called us to restore Your lands
And place them back within Your hands

Chorus:
So tonight
Be glorified
Be magnified
As every nation lifts You high
Oh, Father tonight
It's our desire
To see Your Kingdom shine
On earth as in Heaven tonight

God of all nations
Lord of creation
Your purpose is out hope, our bread
All You've planned and all You've said
Lord of the heavens
Lord of the ages
The church You build shall never fail
No gate or border will prevail

Chorus

Tonight
Be glorified
Lifted up high
It's our desire

So tonight
Be glorified
Lifted up high
It's our desire

Oh, Father, tonight
It's our desire
You're magnified
Lifted up high

Chrous

Oh be glorified

Blessed be Your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name
And blessed be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be your name

Chorus:
Every blessing You pour out I'll
Turn back to praise
And when the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's "all as it should be"
Blessed be You name
And blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

Chorus

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name
I will bless Your name

Chorus

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name
*Repeat*

maybe I push when I'm meant to be still
maybe I take it all to personal
Jesus, how to reconcile
the joyful noise
the ancient land
the tug from some invisible hand
the dying mother weaving bulrushes
along the Nile

Chorus
float her basket over the sea
here on a barren shore
we'll be waiting for
a tailwind to carry her (an) orphan's cry
don't you worry, child
I wrote a lullaby

I try to settle, but I just pass through
a rain dog, gypsy
a wandering Jew
all those homes were not ours
then I slept one night
in Abraham's field
and dreamt there was no moon
the night he died
counting stars
Selah

- Chorus -

Bridge
building you a home
building you a home
building you a home
we're building you a home
Selah

- Chorus -

float her basket over the sea
here on a barren shore
we'll be waiting for
a tailwind to bring us your sweet cry
don't you worry, child
I'm gonna sing you a lullaby

opening salvo
didn't help solve anything
every time we shout our rights out
we get all grouchy and gray

it's all about me, me
it's all about what I can take
and if that doesn't ring true anymore
maybe it was our first mistake

and since we don't believe in Santa Claus
maybe we'd best stay awake

Chorus
every time a teardrop falls
it's kicking up dust in our world of pain
let's get drenched under God's good rain
caught in a deluge of mercies
like a pebble clings to dirt
we're still clinging to bedrock sin
let's get swept off our feet again
caught in a landslide of love

it's all about me, me
it's all about all I can take
the good I try to do goes nowhere
the bad just seizes the day

and if we're here for something bigger, baby
there's gotta be some better way

- Chorus -

Bridge
no, not angels or devils
no, not famine or war
no, not the past or the present
not even the ground separates from God's love
not even the ground separates from His love

'cause every time a teardrop falls
it's kicking up dust in our world of pain
let's get drenched under God's good rain
caught in a deluge of mercies
and like a pebble cased in dirt
we've been anchored in bedrock sin
let's get swept off our feet again
caught in a landslide of love
caught in a landslide of love

Your Name is highly exalted
Jesus forever be glorified
forever be glorified

and Your name is power to conquer
Your fame resounds throughout heaven and earth
resounds throughout heaven and earth

Chorus
name above all names, You are glorious
wonderful and true, and powerful are You
there will be a day, when every knee will bow
before Your holiness, every tongue confess
You're the name, the name above all names

rulers will one day be silent
lost in the wonder and awe of Your name
the wonder and awe of Your name

eternal - none is Your equal
we cry no other God but You
no other God but You

- Chorus -

Bridge
every knee will bow
every knee must bow
every knee must bow
to You
every knee will bow
every knee must bow
every knee must bow
to You
yes, to You

- Chorus -

I've had questions
Without answers?
I’ve known sorrow
I have known pain
But there’s one thing
That I’ll cling to
You are faithful
Jesus you’re true

When hope is lost
I’ll call You Savior
When pain surrounds
I’ll call You healer
When silence falls
You’ll be the song within my heart

In the lone hour
Of my sorrow
Through the darkest night of my soul
You surround me
And sustain me
My defender for ever more

When hope is lost
I’ll call You Savior
When pain surrounds
I’ll call You healer
When silence falls
You’ll be the song within my heart

And I will praise you
I will praise you
When the tears fall
Still I will sing to you
And I will praise you
Jesus praise you
Through the suffering
Still I will sing

When hope is lost
I’ll call You Savior
When pain surrounds
I’ll call You healer
When silence falls
You’ll be the song within my heart

Oh You’re so good to me
You’ve always been good to me
So trustworthy

When hope is lost
I’ll call You Savior
When pain surrounds
I’ll call You healer
When silence falls
You’ll be the song within my heart

And I will praise you
I will praise you
When the tears fall
Still I will sing to you
And I will praise you
Jesus praise you
Through the suffering
Still I will sing


How faithful and true
You sustain me through in through
You are hope and truth
You’re my spring of living water
You’re my spring of living water
In the lone hour You are there
Lord in my sorrow You are there
You are my healer
