I am struggling to find a way to make myself attractive to You
Attractive to You
I am trying to be more deserving of the gift You gave to me
So free

CHORUS
It’s funny how all I can be
Is someone completely ugly
And yet when You look at me
You don’t see a wretch, You see a reflection
Of something beautiful

I am searching for the water that can wash me clean enough
To earn Your love
I want to stop all the things that break Your heart
But come so natural to me, naturally

CHORUS
It’s funny how all I can be
Is someone completely ugly
And yet when You look at me
You don’t see a wretch, You see a reflection
Of something beautiful

I can’t believe you could fall in love with me

CHORUS
And it’s funny how all I can be
Is someone completely ugly
And yet when You look at me
You don’t see a wretch, You see a reflection
Of something beautiful

You don’t see a wretch, You see a reflection
Of something beautiful

I was born with no chance at life
Dead before I took my first breath
I was born with no family ties
Alone before I knew where I lived

(Chorus:)
They called me broken, worthless, and a shame
They called me wasted, used up, and chained
But You made me Your child
And You called me Your own
Now they can call me
But they've got to use my new name

I walked miles and couldn't find a home
There was no place that I belonged
I walked for days and days and weeks and years
Couldn't find a melody for my song

(Chorus)

I don't need money, I don't need fame
I don't need the love that this world can bring
I don't need this prison, I don't need these chains
I needed a Father, and Child is my new name

Each crack of that whip was for my mistakes
Blood is on my hands
Each stumble up that hill was my step to take
Blood is on my hands
How do I say thanks for this

(Chorus:)
In the cross, In the cross, be my glory ever
Till my ransomed soul shall find rest beyond the river

Each tear that flowed was by my sorrow sown
Blood is on my hands
Each drop that was spilled, my debt fulfilled
Blood is on my hands
How can I say thanks for this

(Chorus)

Jesus keep me near the cross
There a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream flows
From Calvary's mountain

I looked for love in every single situation
For something, someone
That would last a lifetime, a love that never dies
And I find

CHORUS
You know when I wake, when I rise, when I pray, when I curse You
And You love me the same
And You know when I stumble and fall, and You’re there through it all
The only unchanging one

I looked for faith on the edge of my roof
No fear, daddy’s here
Still I struggle to trust You with the rest of my life
When I could just fly

CHORUS
You know when I wake, when I rise, when I pray, when I curse You
And You love me the same
And You know when I stumble and fall, and You’re there through it all
The only unchanging one
I looked for God…

You know my inmost being
You know my deepest scars
You know my darkest secrets
You know and You love and You love

I saw the Lord, seated on a throne, high and exalted
And the train of His robe filled the temple
Above Him were angels, with six mighty wings
And with two they’d cover their faces
With two they’d cover their feet
With two, they’d fly
With two, they’d fly… and sing

CHORUS
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty
The whole earth is full of His glory
He’s glorious

I said, “Woe to me, I am ruined
I am unclean, and so are all my kind
But my eyes have seen the King
The Lord Almighty

CHORUS
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty
The whole earth is full of His glory
He’s glorious

An angel flew to me and he had fire in His hand
He put it to my lips and God took away my sin
He took away my sin

CHORUS
Holy, holy, holy is the Lord Almighty
And the whole earth is full of His glory
He’s glorious
You’re glorious

A poor man on the corner
I could give to you by buying him lunch,
But I rarely think about it
'Cause I got a little but it's not that much.
And I say? Lord won't you help me
Give me a little bit more for myself?
And you say? Child won't you let me
Take all that you got and give you a little real wealth?
CHORUS
And I don't know what You want, what You see in my life
I don't know what You mean, how You could be glorified
I'm not too sure about this idea of sacrifice
Or what You mean by mercy, mercy in me
Your mercy in me
A young girl in an old house
Three kids and another on the way
She's in desperate need of some new clothes
But I keep my old ones and tell her I'll pray for her
But Your heart breaks for those kids
And that child of a mom who's one of Your own
When a few gifts and a little time
Is another crown I could lay at the feet of Your throne
CHORUS
Repeat CHORUS

Looking out the window at the clouds flying by
I wonder if You moved them with a thought or with a breath
And as they pass, I see the beauty of the sky
And wonder how You decided to make it that blue
And once again I’m amazed

I see the miracle of a baby being born
And wonder how You give us life
I see this young boy trying to grow into a man
And wonder how You let us live so long
And once again I’m amazed

CHORUS
I can see the majesty You have made
I gaze into the eyes of Your creatures
I can feel the wind You breathe on my face
And I’m amazed… at the wonder of it all

When beauty breaks forth from the shell of a worm
I wonder how You give it wings
When green leaves burst into the colors of a flame
I wonder why October is time for the display
And once again I’m amazed

CHORUS
I can see the majesty You have made
I gaze into the eyes of Your creatures
I can feel the wind You breathe on my face
And I’m amazed… at the wonder of it all

BRIDGE
I’m amazed, speechless
Stand in awe, astounded
Can’t believe, Jesus
What You’ve done for me

The wonder of it all

I can see the majesty You have made
I gaze into the eyes of Your creatures
I can feel the wind You breathe on my face And I’m amazed… at the wonder of it all

I need a little more sunshine in the middle of rain
Need a little more joy in the middle of pain
Need a little more color in the middle of this plain jane

I’ve looked as deep as I can see
And I think I need a little more You in the middle of me

I need a little more patience in the middle of stress
I need a little more beauty in the middle of this mess
Need a little more substance in the middle of this emptiness

I’ve looked as deep as I can see
And I think I need a little more You in the middle of me

Need more of You and less of me
More of You and little less insanity
More of You and little less complexity

I’ve looked as deep as I can see
It seems more of You is better for me

I need a little more rhythm in the middle of this lazy rhyme
Need a little more spontaneity in the middle of this daily grind
Need a little more truth not music in this world of lies

I’ve looked as deep as I can see
And I think I need a little more You in the middle of me

I’ve been leaning on things I’m finding unstable
I’ve been standing on things that are unsure
I’ve been surrounding myself with things I’m finding
Unable to fill me
Unable to still my trembling soul

CHORUS
But You’re always there when I turn around
Even though I’ve been running for so long
You’re always there when I cry out
Even when I’ve been silent for so long
You’re always there when I need You
I need You

I’ve been reaching for things that are no good to me
I’ve been wrestling with things that are bringing me down
I’ve been losing sleep over things that really don’t matter
I know You want better
But it’s so hard to see Your side

CHORUS
But You’re always there when I turn around
Even though I’ve been running for so long
You’re always there when I cry out
Even when I’ve been silent for so long
You’re always there when I need You
I need You

Can You hear me
Can You hear me calling
Cause it’s been so long
And I’m sorry
That it’s been so long, so long

CHORUS
But You’re always there when I turn around
Even though I’ve been running for so long
You’re always there when I cry out
Even when I’ve been silent for so long
You’re always there when I need You
I need You

CHORUS
But You’re always there when I turn around
Even though I’ve been running for so long, so long
You’re always there when I cry out
Even when I’ve been silent for so long, so long
You’re always there
When I need You
I need You

I thought up all the questions that my human mind could bring
And laid them out before the Lord
And demanded a reason for these things
I asked about inequality and about the success of evil men
But what was I to say to Him
When He answered with this question

CHORUS
Where were you when I split the sky and sea
Where were you when I taught the lion to roar
Where were you when I made electricity
Fall from the sky in the middle of a thunderstorm
Where were you

I had no response, I had no reply
As the One who spoke and is the Truth opened up my eyes
I laid my time of doubt at the feet of the Infinite
But what was left for me to say
When He answered with this question

CHORUS
Where were you when I split the sky and sea
Where were you when I taught the lion to roar
Where were you when I made electricity
Fall from the sky in the middle of a thunderstorm

Where were you when I put stars in the sky
Where were you when I taught the eagle to fly
Where were you when I made that little child look just like
Her mom but she had her Daddy’s eyes
Where were you

Where were you when I split the sky and sea
Where were you when I taught the lion to roar
Where were you when I made electricity
Fall from the sky in the middle of a thunderstorm

Where were you when I put stars in the sky
Where were you when I taught the eagle to fly
Where were you when I made that little child look just like
Her mom but she had her Daddy’s eyes
Where were you

I’ve been walking around this world for some time
And I’ve found there are quite a few things to see
Physical, emotional, intellectual stimulations
But at the core I found them empty
Empty

I’ve been trying so many things to fill me
But every one left me wanting
And every answer left me with more questions
Every road ended empty
Empty

CHORUS
For every emptiness, a fullness may be found
For every lie there’s something true
And for this broken cup that’s quickly leaking water
There is a fullness found in You
Found in You

I’ve been working hard at what I thought was useful
But my hands are so small next to Yours
I’ve been trying to learn all that I thought would make me wise
But I just found vanity and lies
Until You opened my eyes
And I saw

CHORUS
For every emptiness, a fullness may be found
For every lie there’s something true
And for this broken cup that’s quickly leaking water
There is a fullness found in You
Found in You

I thought everything was meaningless
But now I’ve found that’s not true
Who am I to doubt the good in things
When all goodness comes from You
From You, My God

CHORUS
For every emptiness, a fullness may be found
For every lie there’s something true
And for this broken cup that’s quickly leaking water
There is a fullness found in You
Found in You

Which Jesus do you follow,
Which Jesus do you serve
If Ephesians says to imitate Christ,
Why do you look so much like the world

Cause My Jesus bled and died
He spent His time with thieves and liars,
He loved the poor and accosted the arrogant
So which one do you want to be

Blessed are the poor in spirit,
or do we pray to blessed with with the wealth of this land
Blessed are they that hunger and thirst for righteousness
Or do we ache for another taste of this world of shifting sands

My Jesus bled and died for my sins
He spent His time with thieves and sluts and liars,
He loved the poor and accosted the rich,
So which one do you want to be

Who is this that You follow,
This picture of the American dream,
If Jesus was here would you walk right by on the other side,
Or fall down and worship at His holy feet
holy
Pretty blue eyes and curly brown hair and a clear complexion,
Is how you see Him as He dies for Your sins,
But the Word says He was battered and scarred
Or did you miss that part,
Sometimes I doubt we'd recognize Him

My Jesus bled and died He spent His time with thieves and the least of
these,
He loved the poor and accosted the comfortable,
So which one do you want to be,
Cause
My Jesus would never be accepted in my church
The blood and dirt on His feet might stain the carpet,
But He reaches for the hurting and despises the proud
And,
I think He'd prefer Beale St. to the stained glass crowd
And I know that He can hear me if I cry out loud

I want to be like my Jesus
I want to be like my Jesus
I want to be like my Jesus
I want to be like my Jesus

Not a posterchild for American prosperity,
but like my Jesus
You see I'm tired of living for success and popularity
I want to be like my Jesus
but I'm not sure what that means to be like
You Jesus
Cause You said to live like You,
love like You but then
You died for me
Can I be like You Jesus?
I wanna be like you Jesus
I wanna be Like my Jesus

When peace, peace like a river
When it comes, comes my way
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot
Thou hast taught me to say

It is well, it is well, it is well with my soul
It is well, it is well
Only You can satisfy, only You can fill this hole
It is well

My sin O the bliss
Of this glorious, glorious thought
That my sin not in part but the whole
Was nailed to the cross
And I bear it no more

It is well, it is well, it is well with my soul
It is well, it is well
Only You can satisfy, only You can fill this hole
It is well

O Lord, Lord, haste the day
When my faith, this blind faith shall be sight
The clouds be rolled back as a scroll
And the trumpet shall resound
And the Lord shall descend

It is well, it is well, it is well with my soul
It is well, it is well
Only You can satisfy, only You can fill this hole

It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
It is well, it is well with my soul
