Confession
06:01
|
|||
Broken hearts are at the altar. Broken lives are at the cross
Tears of sorrow, how they suffer. Cries of penitence and loss
Jesus blood has got it covered. Holy Spirit comforts all
God the Father loves you dearly. Don’t deny the Savior’s call
Jesus loves you. Jesus wants you to accept him at His Word
You’re forgiven through your confession
You’ve been chosen, you must call him Lord
You are lost without forgiveness. You’re defeated by the stain
If you reach for God yourself, then all your efforts are in vain
Holy Spirit speaks to your heart. Jesus wants you for His own
Answer now the call in your heart. Trust in Him, in Him alone
Lord restore me to your presence. Cause your face to shine on me
Please return, look down from Heaven. You are my delivery
Let your hand be strong upon me. I will not turn back from you
Please revive me with Your Spirit. I will call your name anew
Jesus loves me. Jesus wants me to accept Him at His word
I’m forgiven through true confession
I’ve been chosen. I will call You Lord

Build Up The Love
05:32
|
|||
We want to purge any spirit of slander
We want to grow in your Holy Love
We want to march into battle together
We want the unity that comes from above
We want to walk in the power of forgiveness
We want to love the way you love us Lord
Right now we bind what would criticize your children
And we desire to be of one accord
Father forgive us, we desire to be true
Holy Spirit, fill us with love
Give us forgiveness for the faults of our brothers
And a heart of compassion, Lord, a tenderness from you
We want to grow into more of your Holiness
We want to know you like never before
Oh Spirit, purge us with heavenly fire
Oh give us more, Lord. We want even more
Break down the walls that have come in between us
Break down the bitterness and hate in our heart
Oh Jesus, give us your love and compassion
So that today might be a brand new start
Break down our barriers Jesus, build up the love
Break down our critical spirit, build up the love
Tear down our hunger for power, build up the love
Break down our apathy, Jesus, build up the love
Tear down the spirit of lust, Lord, build up the love
Break down each one of our idols, build up the love

More Like You
06:49
|
|||
Fill me Lord, all the way. Touch my heart, Lord, I pray.
Cleanse me now and make me pure. Your sacrifice Lord is my cure.
I confess my sin to you
I must now give in to you
I long to be more like you
Jesus make me more like you
I am weak. You are strong. Lord I need you all day long.
I have sinned I must confess. God I need your Holiness.
Melt the gold. Burn the dross. I refuse to count it loss.
Take my life Lord, all the way. All is Yours Lord. Here, today

Claudia's Eyes
04:36
|
|||
There's got to be something missing.
The potter forgot the clay.
The gardener forgot the sunshine.
The children forgot to play.
You're face has a smile and laughter.
You're near me it makes me glad.
But something is wrong. It strikes me that
Claudia's eyes are sad.
You're really illuminated.
You're life could be sunshine strong.
But where could it be, that candle,
That hasn't been lit so long?
I wonder if someone hurt you?
I wonder what pains you so bad,
To snuff your esteem. I wonder why
Claudia's eyes are sad.
I wish I could tell you something
To make it all turn around.
But life isn't quite that simple
For music to just be sound.
Yet friendship can be a treasure
And love makes our life worthwhile,
so I'm going to try my best to get
Claudia's eyes to smile.
Oh, can we be friends? I want to get
Claudia's eyes to smile.

Just Before Dawn
05:18
|
|||
I don’t wanna know if your heart’s not the same
I don’t wanna know, but I need to know
You don’t have to say that you’re feeling the blame
You don’t have to say, ‘cause it starts to show
You have got a scar from your past, such a hurt
You have got a wound, and it hides your heart
You have got a lock on the door of your love
You have got a demon that won’t depart
And it manifests itself every day
And it crushes your convictions almost all the way
Just remember when your feelings are gone,
That the night is darkest just before dawn
There is such a dawn that is covered by night
So much of a dawn that it needs to break
You have such a fire that has lost all its light
It has such a light that it needs to make
Jesus has the power to heal you brand new
He has got the key to unlock all of you
God the Father knows your life beginning to end
and He loves you more than you can comprehend
Yes His power will be in you each day
And He strengthens your convictions in a gentle way
Just remember when your feelings are gone
That the night is darkest just before dawn

My Prayer
05:29
|
|||
I wanna worship you in spirit
I wanna pray more every day
I wanna know your voice and hear it
I wanna hear you and obey
I wanna read your Holy Word, Lord
I wanna know and understand
I wanna walk in expectation
You will deliver up this land
My prayer, oh God, is to see your face
My prayer, oh God, is to hear your voice
My prayer, oh God, is to know your will and
Your will, Oh God, is my sacrifice
I wanna give up all my idols
I wanna shatter all my pride
I wanna press into Your Spirit
I wanna stand by Jesus’ side
I wanna hope in what is you, Lord
I wanna walk by faith, alone
I wanna live by your provision
I wanna know you and be known

She Dines Alone
04:35
|
|||
She holds her long, thick braid just like a teddy bear
A soft familiar friend to touch when no one's there
And no one has been there for such a long, long time
She dines alone today, a solitary cyme
She dines alone in silence like a photograph
A headstone in the grass without an epitaph
She dines alone, her eyes filled with a dark despair
Her meal is yet another game of solitaire
She dines alone, as always, all alone
The cold wind whistles through the trees of stone
She dines alone, a heart like shattered glass
She quietly departs, alone, alas
I've always wanted to approach and ask her why
Timidity is such a lousy alibi
Yet still I haven't said a word to comfort her
And so she dines alone, so thoroughly demur
Our world, at once loquacious and yet unconcerned
So many people derelict. A forest burned
So many broken lives cry tears on hearts of stone
When will we start to love the ones who stand, alone

Speak Through Me
03:46
|
|||
Speak through me, oh God, keep me out of your way.
With Your anointing on me, I will have something to say.
Burn my sin with flame, touch Your coal to my lips.
Purify my heart with Your own fingertips.
Speak through me, oh God
Live through me, oh God, tell me what I should do.
Keep my daily walk illuminated by You.
Hide Your truth in my heart so I will not sin.
I open up my life, invite Your Spirit in.
Live through me, oh God
Love through me, oh God, make me more like You.
With Your heart beat in mine, I can be faithful and true.
Break down all my walls so You can use me now.
Purify my love as only You know how.
Speak through me, Oh God.
Live through me, oh God.
Love through me, oh God.
Speak through me, Oh God.

Sad Story
04:19
|
|||
It’s a sad, sad story, maybe one I cannot tell
It’s so close to my condition, rising out of my own hell
It’s a lifelong story, one of bitterness and blame
It’s how our procrastination was our shame
It’s a story of a father and a son
It’s a story of a work that’s left undone
It’s a story of a mother and a child
It’s a broken family still unreconciled
In a lifetime of struggles, many battles have been lost
We have lashed out in our rage without considering the cost
We have closeted our anger, we have buried all our pain
And the damage that resulted was our bane
It’s a story of a father and a son
It’s a story of a work that’s left undone
It’s a story of a mother and a child
It’s a broken family still unreconciled
Now the Lord is with us, and our story is not through
But the prince of darkness has done all that he will do
‘Cause we’ve seen the enemy, and we call on Jesus name
And He’ll heal us and restore us with his flame
It’s a story of a father and a son
It’s a story of a war that will be won
It’s a story of a mother and a child
We’re a family that will be reconciled
It’s a story of the power of Jesus’ name
It’s a story of the victory we claim
With the Holy Spirit’s power when we pray
Yes the victory will be the Lord’s today

His Song
04:18
|
|||
The Lord your God is with you every day
He will save you because he’s strong
He will take a great delight in you
He will quiet you with his love and
Rejoice over you with his song
So build yourselves up in your most holy faith
And in the Holy Spirit pray
Draw yourselves near to the heart of God
And wait upon his mercies today
So that you might never go astray
The Lord your God is with you every day.
He will take away your penalty.
He will gather you in his arms.
He has already paid the price.
With his love he has set you free.
