CHORUS:
There's a place for us
Where healing waters flow
Where peace will come
And love will grow
By a river of compassion
There's a house filled with love
Somewhere in His perfect grace
There's a place for us
When the world outside turns hard and cold
And from your eyes the tears overflow
When a golden chance slips right through your hands
And you've built your dreams on shifting sands
When the road that lies ahead seems so hard to find
CHORUS
There's a tree of life, branches reaching high
By a stream of hope that never runs dry
There's a home where shelter can be found
If you walk on faith to that higher ground
Down the road that lies ahead
New life's waiting there

All That I Want Lyrics

Consume me
In Your mercy
Purify my soul
In the fire of Your holiness

Pursue me
Rescue me
Change this heart of stone
For a heart of flesh

'Til all that I want
All I desire is You
All that I need
All that I require is You
Consume me

Heal me
Reveal me
Open up my eyes
To see Your worthiness

I cannot live by bread alone
But By Your every word
You are the living water and
I thirst

Commited To The Call Lyrics

I hear his voice and I'm convicted
To rise above the status quo
He's asking me to live and listen
And to let His will move my soul
His holy spirit beckons
I can't help but answer
I am committed to the call
I vow to walk in blind faith
Willing to sacrifice it all
To reflect amazing grace
I am committed to the call
I will revel in the Son's light
And let His love come shining through
I will seek life from the true vine
And bear the fruit of holy truth
I'm drawn by words of wisdom
Whispering my name

Hold Me Close Lyrics

I'm ready to stop running, let myself be caught
Stop pretending, let myself be known
I'm ready to stop hiding, let myself be found
Held safe and sound, in Your loving arms

So hold me close in Your arms of mercy
Look inside, show me what You see
Touch my life, and I will stop my searching
And find that place in You, that waits for me

Whatever I held onto, I'm ready to let go
Burn my bridges, and dance within the flames
All of my wrong choices have lead my heart back home
To the love that swallows up my pain

I can see You've been there all along
You've reached into my recklessness
And filled me with Your song

Rain Of Your Mercy Lyrics

I see the clouds out on the horizon
I feel the wind blowin' in my face
I hear the sound of a rollin' thunder
I know a storm is about to break

It's the rain of Your mercy
It's the rain of Your mercy

Now I've always heard about Your greatness
How showers of life flow from Your heart
Your death on the cross proves how much You love me
But I'm still surprised at how good You are

In the depths of my sin
Your mercy comes in
And shows me the depths of Your love
And it humbles my heart, tears me apart
Moves me to thank You my friend

For the rain of Your mercy
The rain of Your mercy
Is fallin' again
(Is comin' again)

I'm bein' washed in the water from heaven
Sweet tears of joy pourin' down on me
I lift up my head, drink Your forgiveness
Your spirit is here to set me free

Shake The Heavens Lyrics

Not to a mountain
Not to a temple
Made of wood and stone

Not to the angels
To the saints assembled
To God on His righteous throne

Not just a trembling of my flesh
But in all consuming fire I rest

You will shake the heavens
As You shake the earth
When the fires fall by Your grace I'll stand
I'll join with the angels
As the elders fall
We all cry holy, we all cry holy
We all cry holy, we all cry holy

Not to a system
Not just religion
Empty words and rules

But to true salvation
Holy mediation
The sprinkled blood
Of the one who rules

Not just a trembling of my flesh
But in all consuming fire I rest

Show The Way Lyrics

You say you see no hope
You say you see no reason we should dream
That this world would ever change
You say that love is foolish to believe
'Cause they'll always be some crazy
With an army or a knife
To wake you from your daydream
Put the fear back in your life

Look, if someone wrote a play
Just to glorify what's stronger than hate
Would they not arrange the stage
To look as if the hero came too late
He's almost in defeat
It's looking like the evil side will win
So on the edge of every seat
From the moment that the whole thing begins

It is love who mixed the mortar
And it's love who stacked these stones
And it's love that made the stage here
Though it looks like we're alone
In this scene set in shadows
Like the night is here to stay
There is evil cast around us
But it's love that wrote the play
In this darkness
Love can show the way

Now the stage is set
You can feel your own heart beating in your chest
This life's not over yet
So we get up on our feet and do our best
We play against the fear
We play against the reasons not to try
Playing for the tears
Burning in the happy angel's eyes
For it's love

Slip Away Lyrics

Slip away my child
With the Lover of your soul
Slip away so you can hear My voice again
Say I love you
Slip away my child
With the Lover of your soul
So I can whisper in your ear
And hold you close to Me so near
Slip away my child
Slip away

To Call You Lord Lyrics

(Michael Puryear, Dwight Liles)

Through every passing pleasure
Every human pain
This world holds little treasure
Still one thing remains
When all the dust has settled
And all the gold is rust
I lean into eternity
And there I place my trust

From the depths of my heart
Hear the cry of my soul
I lay down all I am
I abandon control
For You, O God, are my God
And I desire nothing more
Nothing more than to call You Lord

You are the rhyme and reason
Within and without
Faithful in every season
Faithful in my doubt
I cannot live without You
My water, bread and light
Oh, make me Thine forever, Lord
For You alone are life

Up To The Moon Lyrics

I love you up to the moon
And I love you big as the sky
I love to watch you when you sleep
I love to hold you when you cry
One day when you're older
And taller than me
I'll say I watched you grow
Like a beautiful tree
I love you up to the moon
And I love you big as the sky
You'll always be my little man
I love you the best that a mama can
And one day if you rise up
And call me blessed
I'll say it was a joy
To give you my best
'Cause I love you up to the moon
I love you big as the sky
I love you up to the moon
I love you up to the moon

When Will You Love Me Lyrics

I, I have waited long
I have lingered near
I have felt your pain
I have held your tears
I have sought your heart
I have wooed you fierce and tenderly
When, when will you love Me?
I, I have given you
Everything I have
I've laid down for you
Everything I am
All to fill your heart
With the promise of eternity
Oh when, when will you love Me?
Shining through the deepest darkness
I've been a light to lead you home
Read, read what's written here
On my heart in love
By a pen of nails
In the ink of blood
See, it is your name
I whisper it endlessly
When, when will you love Me?

You Alone Lyrics

I lift my eyes when I am troubled
I lift my hands, I lift my heart
And there I stand knowing nothing can defeat me
Just as long as I know where You are

In You alone
Is where I find my comfort
In You alone
You're my only hope
In You alone
My heart has found a resting place
In You alone
In You alone

So I won't fear though darkness hides me
No, I won't let my courage sway
For You are near and at the brightness of Your glory
The shadows of the night melt away

In You alone
Is promise I can cling to
In You alone
You're my security
In You alone
My soul has found a dwelling place
Only in You alone

What could separate me from Your love?
Neither life nor death, nor anything at all
Anything at all

In You alone
Is where I find my comfort
In You alone
You're my only hope
In You alone
My heart has found a resting place
Only in You alone
Only in You alone
Only in You alone

You Are Still Holy Lyrics

Holy, You are still holy
Even when the darkness surrounds my life
Sovereign, You are still sovereign
Even when confusion has blinded my eyes
Lord, I don't deserve Your kind affection
When my unbelief has kept me from Your touch
I want my life to be a pure reflection
Of Your love
And so I come into Your chamber
And I dance at Your feet, Lord
You are my Saviour
And I'm at Your mercy
All that has been in my life
Up 'til now
It belongs to You
You are still holy
Holy, You are still holy
Even though I don't understand Your ways
Sovereign, You will be sovereign
Even when my circumstances don't change
Lord, I don't deserve your tender patience
When my unbelief has kept me from Your truth
I want my life to be a sweet devotion
To You
And so I come into Your chamber
And I dance at Your feet, Lord
You are my Saviour
And I'm at Your mercy
All that has been in my life
Up 'til now
It belongs to You
I belong to You
And so I come into Your chamber
And I dance at Your feet
You are my Saviour
And I'm at Your mercy
All that has been in my life
Up 'til now
It belongs to You
I belong to You
You are still holy
You are still sovereign
You are still holy, Lord
You are still righteous
You are all-knowing
You are still holy
