His Promise 06:05
lyrics

C F I was there when they sacrificed my Lord C G And nailed him to that tree C F I was there when He was pierced with a sword C G C And my savior died for me C F I was there and all I could do was cry Am All I could do was pray G I asked the Father why C It had to go that way C F I was there when they rolled away that stone, C G And no body could be found C F I was there no longer feeling all alone C G C Knowing his love was all around C F I was there, feeling alive and feeling free Am Wiping my tears off on my sleeve G Knowing in His victory C There’s a reason to believe Oh, the promise of the Risen Is a promise born of love and paid in pain We don’t have to live imprisoned Shackled to our past of sin ever again, ever again I was there when the Enemy brought doubt And tried to steal my soul I was there all I could do was shout Oh Lord please take control C F I was there when I heard the Spirit say Am When the day is dark as night All you can do is pray And let Jesus join the fight

His Word 03:43
lyrics

Going to church on Sunday morning Was like wearing too tight a suit I would listen to the preacher’s warning Son don’t bite into that fruit I’d get home round half past noon, My father would have had a few Mother would say lunch will be ready soon, Man I loved that Sunday stew My father would pour them some wine And my mother would say when He would laugh and pour way past the line I would say grace and then He would ask me about the Word To see if I’d paid attention I would notice that his speech was slurred But I would not make mention I’d tell him how the Lord loves us As imperfect as we are How salvation is through Jesus Can’t be found at the local bar That in the end there’s just one law Love your neighbor as your own He would smile but in his eyes I saw He’d never leave the drink alone Sometimes we’d go for a ride in our old family sedan we’d drive right through the countryside And I’d listen to my old man He would sing about the years before my grandfather was born Songs of joy and songs of tears He’d ask me ‘bout that crown of thorns

His Choir 04:21
lyrics

HEAVEN ABOVE Caught between the devil and the deep blue sea I’m left here longing for my family Caught between a rock and a hard place I’m left here longing for your face And I hear the choir of angels singing ‘bout life eternal in his love But I’m quite sure they’re sending me below and not up to Heaven above Caught tween what I should do and what I know I will do in the end Caught tween the memory of you I’m left here longing for a friend And I hear the choir of angels singing ‘bout life eternal in his love But I’m quite sure they’re sending me below and not up to Heaven above The Book says it’s never too late, find Him and you will change your fate, Why would you even hesitate Caught between the courage and my fears what if my prayers fall on deaf ears Caught between the years I let you down I’m longing for my old hometown And I hear the choir of angels singing ‘bout life eternal in his love But I’m quite sure they’re sending me below and not up to Heaven above Caught between the Father and his love I guess he welcomed me into Heaven above

His Gifts 03:06
lyrics

A stranger showed up at my door I’d never seen that man before But how d’ you know he won’t be your best friend? so I welcomed him in and shook his hand. That stranger he drank all my whiskey Said I need a home so I gave him a key He moved into my old spare room It was a mess so I gave him a broom He was a treasure, a gift from God for sure He was a man of leisure, but his heart was so pure And he was so wise, wiser than I’ve ever seen We argued and we fought, we talked and we laughed a lot He was a better brother than I’ve ever been That stranger he told me one day The time had come and he’d be on his way So we bowed our heads and prayed That he would be safe whatever lies ahead And I think about him every now and then In my heart know that I’ll see him again - I just don’t know when

No there ain’t no shame for the demons in your mind, no there ain’t no shame in falling behind, no there ain’t no shame in a broken heart, no there ain’t no shame in falling apart No there is no shame in praying from your knees no there ain’t no shame in crying Lord God, please there ain’t no shame In needing a helping hand, no there ain’t no shame, in His love you can stand So ask Him for His grace, you’re a child of God tears streaming down your face or with a smile wide and broad Ask Him for His grace, in His love you belong, ask Him for His grace and you will be made strong No there ain’t no shame in being down and out no there ain’t no shame in drowning in a sea of doubt no there ain’t no shame in feeling all alone there ain’t no shame in sinking like a stone So ask him for his grace, you’re a child of God tears streaming down your face or with a smile wide and broad Ask him for his grace, in His love you belong, ask him for his grace and you will be made strong

His Law 03:51

Cursing the morning sun’s no way to wake up Neither is wishing there were whiskey in my cup But this is real life the stuff of nightmares as they say So I guess I’d best get ready for another day No one wants to know about the darkness in your heart No one could care less if you have to play a part Just get your act together and smile as if on cue No one really cares about you We never know what lies ahead We never know what’s true All we know is Jesus said Love one another as I’ve loved you You go about your day like you’re a dead man walking You’d tell your boss what’s what, but he won’t stop talking So you try to find some peace but you musta lost it You’re no masterpiece, you’re way too exhausted Seems like pretty good advice if you ask me Seems like pretty good advice even if you don’t ask me

What's that all about 03:21
lyrics
I lied in the face of Love to rid me of my doubt I lied in the face of Love now what’s that all about What’s that all about, what’s that all about, now It’s all about the trust or shall we say the lack thereof It’s all about the dust that lives where there used to be love It’s all about that voice I can hear when I’m still It’s all about the choice to keep on climbing up that hill it’s all about knowing that He is always by my side It’s all about growing trying to quiet down my pride It’s all about His grace and the beauty of the Cross When I’m flat on my face, and you make a win out of my loss Lord I turn to you and I pray that you do know That I believe your word is true and following you’s the way to go

Lay it down Lay it all down At the foot of the cross Lay it down Lay it all down When you’re left at a loss It was never yours to wear That crown’s too heavy to bear Lay it down For all the times when life ain’t fair Give it to Him and say a prayer It’s ok to feel broken down Lay it down Lay it all down Give it all to the One Lay it down Lay it all down Lay it down Lay it all down At the foot of the cross Lay it down Lay it all down Life’s not all glitter and gloss

I surrender all 04:43
lyrics
I surrender all, I surrender all
To the one who makes a way where this no way
I surrender all, I surrender all
To the one who loves me more than words can say

Lord I give it all to you
Do with me as you want to
There’s no song I won’t sing
To proclaim that you are King

Lord my life is yours alone
I will bow before your throne
There’s nothing I won’t do
Lord I give it all to you I surrender all, I surrender all
To the teacher who gave us the only rule
I surrender all, I surrender all
To the one who died to pay my debt in full

In the moments when I’m weak
Let me hear you when you speak
Let me listen to the quiet voice inside
When I stumble, when I fall
I pray I will hear your call
Cause I know, you’ll be by my side

(Will you meet me) Where I stand 04:00
lyrics
Will you meet me where I stand Will you see that I am lost If your heart could understand How our paths have never crossed Will you find it in your heart Will your arms be open wide I know I’ve stood apart But there’s no place left to hide I wanna come Home I wanna come Home You say I’m never alone I can’t do this on my own I wanna come Home Will you meet me where I stand Will you hear me when I cry No there’s no gold in my hand As I look up to the sky 
Will you set my heart on fire Will you show me how to sing My voice yearns for your choir A loving heart is all I bring Send me your light and your faithful care Send me your light
