My heart is full My hope is strong Oh Lord, I want this prayer to be life-long I can't afford to get this wrong So show me how to love Please teach me how to love Is there a place Where truth is found The world around me has it upside-down You said to build on solid ground So show me how to love Please teach me how to love Christ, Love of God incarnate, You are how I know You have the words of life Where else could I go Where else could I go I will love as you loved Knowing what it cost I will follow you Even to the cross Even to the cross You always hope You persevere Your great compassion leaves no room for fear Your mercy lasts a thousand years So show me how to love Please teach me how to love Christ, Love of God incarnate, You are how I know You have the words of life Where else could I go Where else could I go I will love as you loved Knowing what it cost I will follow you Even to the cross Even to the cross Agape, agape, agape, agape Agape, agape, agape, agape Christ, Love of God incarnate, You are how I know You have the words of life Where else could I go Where else could I go I will love as you loved Knowing what it cost I will follow you Even to the cross Even to the cross Agape, agape, agape, agape

Psalm 13 04:11
lyrics

How long, O Lord? How long will you forget me? How long O Lord? How long will you hide your face from me? But I trust in your unfailing love; My heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord. I choose to sing. For he has been good to me. How long, O Lord? How long must I wrestle with my thoughts? How long, O Lord? How long must I have sorrow in my heart? But I trust in your unfailing love; My heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord. I choose to sing. For he has been good to me. O Lord my God. Lord, look on me and answer. O Lord my God. Lord, give me light, or I will sleep in death. But I trust in your unfailing love; even now, My heart rejoices in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord. I choose to sing. For he has been good to me.

December Rain 04:23
lyrics

December rain It isn’t altogether fair That you pretend to ease my pain When it is obvious you don’t care December rain December rain There is one thing you can do for me before you go Mix with my warm tears, and numb them with your cold December rain I never told you what was wrong I didn’t want my hope to grow And now the loss is much less strong December rain December rain There is one thing you can do for me before you go Mix with my warm tears, and hide them with your cold December rain December rain I don’t mind your company Don’t leave me here alone Our maker sent you down to me You know the way back home And if you’ll be returning soon Please let me come along I want to rest where love can drown The reason for this song December rain I know we’ve got to stay right here The only way to cleanse the sky Is letting go of all these tears December rain There’s still one thing you can do for me before you go Mix with my warm tears, just join them with your cold December rain

On This Late Eve of 24 02:28
lyrics
buy track
On this late eve of 24 I let my soul strip to the core To ask what hope of love is for And whether I Should go there more My heart was crushed at this same door When I approached it once before My wounds are closed but deep and sore The hope I have Is faint and poor. But eagles’ wings can’t ever soar On self-constructed daydreams nor On strength of will and earth’s love-lore They make the charm Of hope a chore Fulfillment rather lies in store If I would choose a different door I need not stumble anymore If I do hope But in the Lord It’s not about me anymore My hope belongs In Christ the Lord

I pray for him I pray for him That he would see you in Your glory I pray for him I pray for him I pray his heart would stay at home in You I pray for him I pray for him That he would grow in depth of insight I pray for him I pray for him I pray his love would overflow for You May he desire to be like You May he forever lean on You May he get all his strength from You You, You, You, Jesus May he know who he is in You May he give all he has to You May he be truly one with You You, You, You, Jesus I pray for him I pray for him That he would run in your direction I pray for him I pray for him I pray his life would be a song to You

Grief 03:17
lyrics
buy track
I’m crumpled on the floor Trying to press the ache out of this grief I dread each waking up The further settling in of pain so deep These thousand little deaths I’d offer up my life before my hope There’s no way out but through Shallow breaths, slow motion, Jesus, oh I will not waste this pain Spare me nothing you want me to see It’s you I’m longing for No one, nothing else will give me peace One way seems right to me But I don’t know what’s ahead Why’s it so crazy hard To act like you know what’s best? The space reserved for tears Is the space marked out for thankfulness I gasp out honest words I trust you, Lord, your loving faithfulness There’s so much I can’t know Might as well embrace uncertainty A chance to live by faith I believe, Lord, help my unbelief. I wait like the potter’s clay Ready for you to mold When you’re done testing me I will come forth as gold You intercede for your suffering loved ones because you understand Any gift that strengthens me to join you I’ll welcome from your hand I’m curled up on the floor Nestled in your strong, mysterious arms My fears are scared away I have all I want in who you are

I Delight to Trust in You 03:45
lyrics

You go before me You light my way You are my sole illumination You are my compass You are my star Oh Lord, you are my destination I hear a voice behind me: “This is the way to go” Oh, would you give me ears to hear? The darkness need not shake me It is not dark to you Oh Lord, you set me free from fear I delight to trust in you I delight to trust in you You are singing over me As I delight to trust in you Your plans are perfect Your word is true Oh Lord, you’ve more than earned my confidence You have a reason For all you do There is compassion in your providence You are my dancing partner I know to move my feet But you’re the one who leads the dance I savor this adventure As long as I’m with you It’s here that faith becomes romance I delight to trust in you I delight to trust in you You are singing over me As I delight to trust in you I delight to trust in you I delight to trust in you You are singing over me As I delight to trust in you

You Are Not Alone 04:04

You are not alone I have not forgotten you You are not alone I have not forsaken you Your tears are counted Your fears are answered Your cries, your sighs Are not hidden from my eyes You are not unloved I have lost my heart to you You are not unloved I would not abandon you Your tears are counted Your fears are answered Your cries, your sighs Are not hidden from my eyes Your tears are counted Not one is lost Your fears are answered By love at any cost Your cries have called my name Your sighs are not in vain Your cries, your sighs Are reflected in my eyes You are not alone I have not forgotten you You are not alone I have not forsaken you It will not always be this way It will not always be this way The dark will bow to endless day And your tears will all be wiped away You are nearly home I have saved a place for you You are nearly home Hold on, I am coming soon For you I have not forgotten you

You Are All I Need 05:06
lyrics
buy track
I'm confused. Need someone to tell me what to do. Paralyzed by the idiotic stare in my own eyes. I send my silent scream into your waiting ears. Your answer flows through me. Your voice is all I hear: I will be your leader. You must look to me. Yes, my child, in this thing too I am all you need. I'm afraid. Haven't got what this is gonna take. Petrified, like a naked soldier out on the front lines. I throw my gaze around and, oh - I find you here. You hover over me. Your voice is all I hear: I will be your refuge. Hide yourself in me. Yet again, in this thing too I am all you need. I am all you need. I am all... All alone. Almost getting used to letting go. Left behind in the wake of unrelenting waves of time. I half believe these lies and sign them with my tears. You gather me into you. Your voice is all I hear: I will be your husband. Trust your heart to me. Yes, my dear, in this thing too I am all you need. God, I will remember What you've promised me. I will rest in what is true. You are all I need. You are all I need. You are all I need. You are all I need. You are all.

Headlong 03:33
lyrics

Pulled into a whirling dance A matching hand, a lingering glance Steps we didn't know we knew Have lent us wings and snatched our shoes I would jump, were I not already falling Leap, were I not already flung Run, were I not already soaring Dive, were I not already plunged Headlong by greater hands than mine So strong, so unmistakably divine I must love - oh, and I do Love has robbed me of choice But it's given me you Swept along to places where Songs of trees thrum in the air Sunlight paints the world with gold And beauty's secrets all unfold I would jump, were I not already falling Leap, were I not already flung Run, were I not already soaring Dive, were I not already plunged Headlong by greater hands than mine So strong, so unmistakably divine I must love - oh, and I do Love has robbed me of choice But it's given me you I am love's willing captive, ardent slave Welcome surrender, I want no escape I must love - oh, and I do Love has robbed me of choice But it's given me you
