God You Started This

|||
|
VERSE 1
Since the beginning of my life I was dead.
I was chained up in the dungeon of my sin.
You shattered my darkness with light when you said,
Come out of the tomb let your new life begin.
PRE CHORUS
Why is this all happening to me?
How is it that this blind man can now finally see?
CHORUS
God You started this and I know You’ll finish it!
You breathed new life into my dead lungs.
God You started this and I know You’ll finish it!
Complete the work that you’ve begun.
No one can undo the things you’ve done.
VERSE 2
My Chains were removed and my wounds were healed up.
My shame was forgotten and my heart filled with love.
You drank from God’s wrath and then you gave me your cup.
You filled me with hope and a joy from above.
BRIDGE
The first and the last the beginning and the end.
Alpha and Omega with eternity to spend.
I trust in Your goodness Lord no matter what comes.
All glory is Yours. Let Your will be done.

Dry Land

|

|
Verse 1:
We would have never left it we loved our sinful home.
We would have stayed there till the end had finally come.
My God you saved us from the city of despair.
You rescued us from death you did not leave us there.
Chorus:
You split the sea to bring us through.
Our only hope was to follow you.
You hold the stars in Your hand.
You brought us through, on dry land.
Verse 1:
Raised in a wealthy country in our comfort zone.
Don't want to ever leave we we loved our worldly home.
My God please save us from this deadly sin disease.
please rescue us from death come bend us to our knees.
Bridge:
We remember Lord all that you've already done for us.
We thank you God there's still so much left yet to come.

I Am The Outcast
04:05
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
I am the outcast.
The whole world shuns me to my face.
I'm always chose last.
To love me would be a disgrace.
(Pre-Chorus)
You shouldn't love me but you do.
You shouldn't love me God but you do.
(Chorus)
I keep on falling Lord, over and over again.
I walk right up to the edge, and fall right back into old sin.
I've come to hate Oh Lord, the things that I do.
And then I turn around and walk right back to you.
You shouldn't love me God but you do.
(Verse 2)
I am the outcast.
I have no beauty of my own.
I have a dark past.
I am not lovely to behold.
(Bridge)
Bring the outcast into your church. Love the lonely until it hurts.
Embrace the one who hates his sin, even once he falls back to it again.
Pick him up and help him to walk. Give God's love and not just talk.
You shouldn't love the outcast it's true, but did you know you are one too.
You are the outcast we shouldn't love you but you do.
You are the outcast we shouldn't love you but you do.
Too skinny, too fat, too short, too tall, too pretty, too ugly, to hairy, too bald, too young, too old, too happy, too sad, too smart, too stupid, too good, too bad! We Are the Outcasts

Sovereign King
04:15
|
|||
|
Verse 1
Oh Holy, and exalted God, I’ll come before your throne,
and humbly bow down to the ground when all my sins are known.
No case will I be fit to make to clear my guilt of shame.
but call upon your mercy Lord in Jesus precious name.
Pre Chorus
His blood has cleansed me from my sin,
so when the judgement is done,
with joy I’ll finally hear Him say arise forgiven one.
Chorus
Oh Sovereign King, the great I AM.
You reign supreme, with mighty hands.
We bow before your holy throne,
come make your glory known.
Verse 2
Before the founding of the world you chose me for your son.
based only on your mercy Lord not good things I have done.
Although by faith I turn from sin, my faith was given by You.
So in the end all eyes will see to whom the honor is due.
Pre Chorus
All Nature longs to see the day that Your Glory is revealed.
And all Your chosen ones made known, the ones the Spirit sealed.

God Be My Rescue
03:49
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I once was lost in a whirlwind of my own sin.
I tossed and I turned and I fussed and I fought,
This was a fight I could not win.
and I felt the waves of sin crash over my life.
I tossed and I turned and I fussed and I fought,
but I could not win this fight.
Chorus:
God Take control over my life.
God reign in me and I'll survive.
God please say the word and I'll be warm.
God be my calm after the storm.
God be my Rescue.
Verse 2:
Sometimes it seems like my life is going just fine.
I don't need God's help and I don't need your prayers,
So I don't give God my time.
But those are the times, when the enemies battle is won,
Cause I do need God's help and I do need your prayers,
even till me life is done.
Bridge:
God be my rescue when I'm feeling the fire.
God be my rescue when I'm fighting desires.
God be my rescue when I'm in the midst of the storm.
God cleanse my thoughts before they even take form.
God be my Rescue.

All Of The Above
03:44
|
|||
|
Verse 1
I feel the wind blow. And I know that you are there.
I see the stars at night. I know you really care.
I heard the whisper of the voice that made the sky.
I read the whole book, and I still wonder why.
You could love me like you do.
Why do you love me like you do?
Chorus
It’s nothing I do or have done, Nothing I’ve earned or have won,
Nothing I am, or have chose, Nothing I have, nothing to boast.
You are love, You are grace, You are mercy, You are faith.
You are the lamb, You are the dove, And You’re not just one of these,
You’re all the above.
Verse 2
You hung the moon in the night and flung the heavens wide.
You spread the oceans apart and timed every tide.
You breathed your life into dirt and made us come alive.
You hung and died on the cross and I still wonder why.
You could love me like you do.
Why do you love me like you do?
Bridge
So give all the honor to whom it is due.
Lord all of the glory belongs to you.
So give all the honor to whom it is due.
Lord all of the glory belongs to you.

I Shall Rise
04:29
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
There are those who would love to see me fall again.
To show the world my sin, and prove that I'm a wretched man.
It is God who they hope to discredit when,
they point the finger and laugh at the born again.
Chorus:
So to all my enemies, do not rejoice over me,
When I fall, I shall rise.
When I sit in the dark, God is my light.
Verse 2:
I hate to disappoint them, but I'll do it.
When Jesus changed my heart he even changed the fluid.
It flows with love for God, now this is my story,
to show how great He is and sing of His glory.
Bridge:
When I fall, I shall rise.
When I sit in the dark, God is my light.

Unmeritted
03:27
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
The reason you love me is not because I’m so lovely,
but you still love me anyway.
Before I could choose you, you first had to break through
my dead heart and pull me your way.
Chorus:
It’s not by works that I have done.
You proved your love. You gave your son.
I don’t deserve the grace you give.
A - ma - zing love, unmerited, unmerited.
Verse 2:
And how could I boast in the gift you have given
when all I have is from you?
How could a dead man come to you for life and
how could those who love sin choose you?
Bridge:
You love me Lord because of, who You are.
You love me Lord because of, Your loving heart.

All The Air I Need
03:41
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
It's like a rock that's floating in the midst of the air.
It's like finding joy in the midst of despair.
It's like a flame that's burning in the heart of the sea.
So is this salvation you've given to me.
Chorus:
You are the reason why I sing.
You're all the light I need to see.
You're the only savior for a wretch like me.
You're all the air I need to Breathe.
Verse 2:
It's like a light that's shining in the darkest of nights.
It's like a tear that's falling from the driest of eyes.
It's like a dead man sleeping and called to get up.
So unexpected is this kind of love.
Bridge:
You turn death into life and turn darkness to light.
You turn sinners to saints, and give blind men their sight.
You bring joy out of pain, You give outcasts a home.
You give peace to the restless and You change hearts of stone.

You Are My King
03:09
|
|||
|
VERSE 1
I see now that it’s not me it’s you.
My eyes have been opened to the truth.
You’re the one who deserves the glory.
This is not mine it’s your own story.
I was so blind so focused on myself.
I couldn’t see that I had You on the shelf.
Now I see that I had it upside down.
You’re the king. You deserve to wear the Crown.
CHORUS
So take this Crown off of my head and place it where it belongs instead.
This is the time this is the day. This is the hour I proclaim, You are my king!
VERSE 2
I see now that it’s not me it’s You.
Your grace is what angels long to look into.
My life would be nothing without Christ. I am His he bought me with a price.
Every breath I breathe for every day, it is Yours to give or take away.
While I’m at it every song I sing, should only always glorify my king.
