Seashells border the shoreline as the waves toss and turn the ocean
And the birds circle the waters, drifting with form and motion
The fragrance of the flowers sweeps across the mountains
And the trees sway with the music as the forest sings along with the wind
And the sun shares its light in the morning
And the moon and the stars in the evening
[Chorus]
A gift of love
A great design we call Creation
Pure and enough
It's more than I could ever imagine
But it's happened
Oh, You breathed this world to life
Lightning breaks the night, flashing fire and flame
As the mustangs, free and wild
Thunder across the plain
And the summer storm gives way to autumn
And the winter snow melts into spring
[Chorus]
Oh, I can't keep this inside
[Bridge]
It's a love song You sing
That was written just for me
Each drop of Your rain tells a story
From the breaking of the dawn
To the setting of the sun
Creation proclaims who You are
In my heart
[Chorus]

As I wait here
This silence over me
I can't feel You
Comforting me
My emotions have blinded my belief.
[Chorus]
I need You
Release this fear
And I want to
Know You are near
And I am not alone
I feel so lost
Where do I belong?
There's no light here
Where have You gone?
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
And suddenly I see that You
Have always been there with me
And I'm the one who's drifting
No more nights alone to cry
I'm finally believing
That You would never leave me
[End Chorus]
And I need You
You take away all my fears
And I want to
Know You're near
I know that You are here

Worth Dying For
05:30

The sun is fading
The dark of night is closing in
My soul is restless
The light of day is growing dim
I've played the games, I've tasted fame
And it felt good
But now it's gone; it didn't stay
Like I thought it would
'Cause the truth is: nothing lasts for very long
This world will fade and so will we
We're not yet home
So I'm crying out
[Chorus]
Here I am
Take my heart
Mold me to be like You are
I don't want to search no more
You are the only One worth living for
I can't deny I tried to reign on my own throne
But now You've shown me that my life
Is not my own
Sometimes if feels as though the world
Were pulling me
The pleasures that it offers
Are tempting
I won't give in; I will not fall
Into the lies
For here's the truth: earthly things
Never satisfy
Why do we try to get by on our own?
Can't we see that only He can make us whole?
So I'm crying out
[Chorus]
Oh, God, the choice is mine alone to be renewed
'Cause I don't want to live one day
That's not for You
[Bridge]
So Lord I fall onto my face
Before Your feet
I give my life in humbleness
I'm on my knees
'Cause nothing in this world
Could ever take Your place
My only chance to really live
Is through Your grace
[Chorus]

There's A Reason
05:03

Summer fades, withdraws her hand
As winter comes over the land
And every breath falls asleep
'Til all that's left's a memory
Still they cry inside
"I'm alive. I'm alive."
[Chorus]
Then the clouds break
Oh, what a sight!
Who would have thought we'd see the light
Through this night?
The darkness seemed to never end
But then You showed it's where life began
It's amazing
As the rain comes streaming down
So did my tears when the truth came out
What is there to heal the pain
When faith is marred and scars remain?
Can any good result from this hurt?
I am hurt
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
And when I had given up on everything
You reminded me
It's not always as it seems
'Cause only You mend brokenness
And only You bring life from death

I walk in the light in the view of this world
They see me as moral, as some perfect girl
But they just see outside; they don't see within
They can't see me deeper; they can't see my sin
And I only know what the world says of me
But there's only One who can see the real me
[Chorus]
What would Jesus think of me
If He looked into my life?
Would He like what He would see
Or would tears fill in His eyes?
I could say that I live as one who is saved
But if He looked into my soul
Would He say the same?
I lay down my life for the ones that I love
And outward give praise to my Lord up above
The world looks upon me with admiration
They applaud me for all the good I have done
But my heart is heavy for I know the truth
What they say's a lie and inside me there's proof
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I know that my life's not worthy of Grace
The toll of my sins seems too high to compensate
Yet You payed that price
When You laid down Your life
You've seen what I've done
And love me despite all that I hide
[End Chorus]
What would Jesus think of you
If He looked into your life?
Would He like what He would see
Or would tears fill in His eyes?
You could say that you live as one who is saved
But if He looked into your soul
Would He say the same?

Rescue Me
06:11
|

|
The shadow of night has fallen
The dawn seems so far away
The cry of my heart grows silent
As tears mix with fear and pain.
The drums have already sounded
The battle for my soul rages on
What shelter is there to run to?
Must I fight alone in this war?
[Chorus]
Would You sing to me a lullaby?
Wrap Your arms of love around me
Pull me close and hold me tight
Shed from me this broken armor
Too many wounds and scars and bruises
I’m crying out for mercy
Rescue me
This isn’t how I thought it would be
Blood in the streets. Heal me!
My defense is gone; I can’t carry on
How could there be victory?
[Second chorus]
Won’t You sing to me a lullaby?
Wrap Your arms of love around me
Pull me close and hold me tight
Take from me this shattered armor
Too many wounds and scars and bruises
I’m crying out for mercy
Rescue me
[Bridge]
When the smoke had finally lifted
From the fires of the night
I was standing in the ashes
With no enemy in sight
But it was more than just a memory
Or a nightmare in my sleep
I turn to find who saved me
And there standing by a Tree
I see You
[Spoken verse ending]
"I called to the Lord, Who is worthy of praise, and I have been saved from my enemies. The cords of death entangled me; the torrents of destruction overwhelmed me. In my distress, I called to the Lord; He heard my voice. He parted the heavens and came down. He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He brought me out into a spacious place; He rescued me. I love you, Lord, my strength." You are with me; I will not be afraid.
Psalm 18:3-4, 6, 9, 16, 19, 1
