LIke all things knowing, its the beginning
Ancient messages line heart walls
Beliefs lined in talents or talons. whichever we prefer
Questions fill fingers as she shadows through the balance picking sound out of that shining self.
Make no compromise, draw lines, keep eye on divine health
Navigate the bars, the drums, the pull, the real, the plight
Make no mistake, there will be the strife
Make no mistake, there will be the strife
Be no mind on mine, this be the fight
Right?

Find A Way To Love
03:37

Your next door neighbor's on the street
He has no food to eat
You drive by every single day
And say all you can do is pray
Do you see him?
Could you be him?
Find a way to love (when no one's around to see you)
Find a way to love (in spite of all you've been through)
Find a way to love (when no one seemed to love you)
Find a way to love ('cause it's what we're supposed to do)
Feels like all her hope is gone (everything she does, it just goes wrong)
Everything that can goes wrong
She calls on all her family (all her family)
Her friends, and those in ministry
Won't they help her?
Will they answer?

There is so much that I can't explain
When I think of all You've done
All the dangers You have kept from me
And all the battles You have won
Lord, I thank You
I get on my knees
And I praise You
For everything
Lord, You've been so
You've been good to me
And I'm grateful for Your love
For giving me grace (God, I'm grateful)
For taking my place (God, I'm grateful)
For living again (God, I'm grateful)
For reigning in Heaven (Oh God, I'm grateful)
I take so much for granted
Like I made it on my own
And I forget that without You
I'd be living life alone
Lord, I'm sorry
I get on my knees
Please forgive me
For everything
Lord, You've been so
You've been good to me
And I'm grateful for Your love
So, don't you think that i won't give Him praise
I lift my voice, my heart. My hands, I raise
When I wake up, When I go out, He's been so good to me
He's been so good, He's been so good, He's been so good to me

Follow Me

There was a girl who didn't know which way to turn
So she went and asked a stranger
"Excuse me. Do you know how to get home?"
He looked and smiled like He'd known her all of her life
And said "I do but would you mind if I
asked you where you're coming from?"
She said "I've gotten lost and strayed far away
from my Father. If its not too much can you help me please?"
Follow me. I'll take you home.
I'll help you find your way
Follow me. It won't be long.
Soon everything will be okay.
Don't worry about it
Stick with me and you'll get...
Home.
So, as they journeyed along the narrow path
It seemed as if they had walked forever
and the girl stopped on the side just to rest
she said "I don't think I can take another step.
I feel so tired, I might just die.
I thought You said that you knew the way home."
Again, He smiled that same peculiar smile
And said "I know but it's hard only for a while.
Just take my hand and walk with me another mile."
Follow me. I'll take you home.
I'll help you find your way
Follow me. It won't be long.
Soon everything will be okay.
Don't worry about it
Stick with me and you'll get...
Back to the place where you never felt ashamed
All your fear and all your pride drifted away
For some reason now you've allowed those things to stay
My child, you're bound but I have the key for your chains
More and more the girl began to trust the stranger
and she swore that she had seen Him somewhere
She asked if they had ever met before
He wondered when she would come to her senses and said
"Child, we talked everyday and since then,
I've been to your house and knocked on your door."
Now the girl recognized who she'd been traveling with this whole time
He said "Do you realize that I'm the man who died to save your life?"
If you
Follow me. I'll take you home.
I'll help you find your way
Follow me. It won't be long.
Soon everything will be okay.
Don't worry about it
Stick with me and you'll get...
Home.
Don't be like the girl who lost her way
trying to get hold of her own fate
There's an easier way to get Home

I know its been so hard
I know you feel alone
But you're not.
I've been here all along
That's why I sing this song
I'm your God
So trust and never doubt
You don't have to figure out your life
I'm here until the end
I can be your best friend
Heaven's waiting, My arms are open
All I really want is for you to be here with Me, to be here with Me x2
The serpent's working hard
to take you away from me
He knows your greatest faults
He leads and guides the lost
But I created you from the dust
Satan will never touch what is Mine (and you are Mine)
So leave your sinful ways
Follow me all your days
I can't explain...
All I really want is for you to be here wit hMe, to be here with me x2
I don't care what I have to do
to hold you in My arms
I'll part the sea for you
I'll paint the trees blue
More than i want the sun to shine
More than I want the birds to fly
All I really want
All I really want
All I really want...is you

Can't Help Myself
04:35

|

I just can't help myself
'Cause I know that I've done wrong
Just to think of where Your love placed me
'Cause its hell where I belong
So I'll go and tell the ones I know
About how far I've come
And how now because of sacrifice
My new home is God's Kingdom
Can't help myself (x4)
I had the chance to walk away
when I stood outside
But instead I walked right in
Pulled up a chair, and rolled the dice
And now I know that I had been such a fool
Accepting everything in my life but You
But You still called me to Your arms
And I can't help myself
'Cause I know that I've done wrong
Just to think of where Your love placed me
'Cause its hell where I belong
So I'll go and tell the ones I know
About how far I've come
And how now because of sacrifice
My new home is God's Kingdom
Can't help myself (x4)
Go back in time two thousand years
and you'll see for yourself
just how one Man can leave His home
To save the whole world from hell
He could've stayed in Heaven up above
And kept His name spotless like a dove
But my cross He took in Love...for me
I just can't help myself
'Cause I know that I've done wrong
Just to think of where Your love placed me
'Cause its hell where I belong
So I'll go and tell the ones I know
About how far I've come
And how now because of sacrifice
My new home is God's Kingdom
Can't help myself (x4)
Can't help the burning inside
That some don't understand
When I look at my life
And how He saved the wretch I am

Sometimes a monster of thought will break into
She and friend make ritual round in locality
But its different
Friendly sound of the crowds and the atmosphere seems malleable
Makes great for...Dreaming
Scripture my mission
Mediocre's what I see and its pensive
Ebbing dreams on my mind, on the verge
My concern's that my words will never leave my extension
And many other thoughts there
(So, what's after school?) Like I really got a part there.
Blank face 'cause my fate feels the same
But what's fate next to faith? Like I'm really getting lost there.
"Stay focused. Oh, it's so easy."
Hard enough to even breathe. Watch the air leave me
Long week, body weak. Come home, find a zone.
But I'm still trippin' over dreaming.
Like, what's the meaning?

In Your Arms

From the dawn of time
You had a plan
You breathed Your breath of life
Into a man
And You got down on Your knees
And formed his face
You called him Your son
With him You embraced
Do the same for me
Come mold my heart
And let me dwell
In Your arms...
There I find love (In Your arms)
There I find joy (In Your arms)
There I find hope (In Your arms)
There I find You
Great and marvelous
are the works of Your hand
You know the number of
The grains of sand
And You know all of my thoughts
My every desire
You're All-Mighty God
You never get tired
So here I stand
Don't turn me away
Please let me dwell
In Your arms...
There I find love (In Your arms)
There I find joy (In Your arms)
There I find hope (In Your arms)
There I find You
You raised a man from the dead
You multiplied loaves of bread
All I ask is You hold me in Your Arms

I don't even need a rhythm
As long as Your dancing close to me
I believe I can do anything
'Cause I know You believe in me
You are love. All Your love
I feel it all around the world!
Too many words I just wanna dance with You
I don't care who I am. I just wanna be one with You
Grace is really all I ever needed
And You give it to me freely
If You want me to stay, I'll stay. You want me to go, I'll go.
But I need You with me
Oh, every night and every day
I need Your love all around me
You are love. Oh, Your love
I feel it all around the world
Too many words, I just wanna dance with You
I don't care who I am, I just wanna be one with You
There's nothing left to say,
just take my hand in Yours
I'll follow every step.
I'll go where You go

I've been a fool for doing this on my own
When I knew that I needed Your help
I just wanted to gain some self control
And start fixing "me" myself
But now, I know what to do
I see all that I need is You
Fix me, Jesus. I take myself away
I'm willing to let go of what I think I know
There's so much more that You can do
Here's my heart. I'm calling out to You
I feel You have already done too much
for someone as worthless as me
I'm selfish and I haven't learned to trust
Full of sin. Full of pride and greed.
See, Lord? Here I go again.
Taking the wheel when You can
Fix me, Jesus. I take myself away
I'm willing to let go of what I think I know
There's so much more that You can do
Here's my heart. I'm calling out to You (repeat)
