Savior Friend

Every time I turn around
My backs against the wall
I try to stand up tall and I fall
why do I try so hard only to watch my efforts fail
And how they fail

Every time I think I'm strong
I feel so weak
My flesh is bold my spirits meek
I cannot overcome 'till I turn this trend around

In Your grace You pick me up
And I will hold on 'till the end
You're my only ever constant - my savior and my friend

And I will follow
Until the very end
And I will follow
My Savior and my friend

Plain as day I hear Your call
Yet I hide amongst the brush
You long to satisfy me
my broken spirit crushed
Why do I hide myself away
And think I'm out of sight

In Your grace You pick me up
And I will hold on 'till the end
You're my only ever constant
my savior and my friend

And I will follow
Until the very end
And I will follow
My Savior and my friend

Beggar

I'm a beggar
A wretch with my hand outstretched again
And I'm a taker
taking everything that I can get

Break this flesh
I'm a mess
I keep running back to You
With the same old patterns
I keep falling into

God help me
Break the cycle that I'm in
Forgive me
For the times I've failed
Restore me
Make me a better man
'Cuz I don't like the beggar
That I am

I am broken
By the plight of sin I'm in
Plagued and frayed
But You are patient
As You lead me to Your throne of grace

I surrender
My flesh is Yours
To put to rest
Crucified with Jesus
Deliverance

God help me
Break the cycle that I'm in
Forgive me
For the times I've failed
Restore me
Make me a better man
'Cuz I don't like the beggar
That I am

You don't see me as a beggar
You only see Your son
You're all I'm seeking after
I can see this battle won

God help me
Break the cycle that I'm in
Forgive me
For the times I've failed
Restore me
Make me a better man
'Cuz I don't like the beggar
That I am

Seek

At times we all feel lost
get that nagging in our soul
to search for something more
to make our broken spirits whole

Seek and you will find
Knock and the door will open wide
You'll be amazed at what you'll find

There is more for those who seek
a loving savior waits
He longs to bring you peace
and meet your every need

Seek and you will find
Knock and the door will open wide
You'll be amazed at what you'll find

When what you need is bread
God won't give you stones
And when you need a friend
You don't have to be alone

Seek and you will find
Knock and the door will open wide
You'll be amazed at what you'll find

All of Creation

I can't look too far
without finding proof
Everything I see
is evidence of You
This whole earth
proclaims Your majesty
From the tallest mountain
To the deepest sea

All of Creation
Sings Your praise
Even the breeze
Cries out Your name
You are perfect
In all Your ways
All of Creation
Sings Your Praise
Sings Your Praise

With Your mighty voice
You made it all
From Heaven to earth
You let Your glory fall
Perfectly
the universe reflects
Your soveriegnty
And Your holiness

Holy and perfect
The whole earth procliams
You are perfect

Let it Pour

There's a well inside of me
That only You could fill
You put it there inside of me
so I could always be - thirst free
but that was not Your only plan for me

When You start to fill me up
Dont ever stop at just enough

Let it pour out of me
so You can shine Your light
in a darkened land
Let it pour out of me
So they might start to see
Your holy hand

I was once an empty man
Lost in the muck of empty days
Until You reached down with a touch
That took my emptiness away

When You start to fill me up
Dont ever stop at just enough

Let it pour out of me
so You can shine Your light
in a darkened land
Let it pour out of me
So they might start to see
and understand

You're the God of Mercy
You're the God of Grace
You're the God of everything we see

You're the God of Mercy
You're the God of Grace

Questions

Burning questions in my mind
Without answers running blind
Will the burning ever cease
Will I ever find release There's nothing I can do
But seek to find the truth

When I'm questioning
Who am I supposed to be?
What is my place in life?

I hear beckoning
The silent answers rings
Be still and you will find

I've had scales before my eyes
Made up of worldly lies
The lies lead me nowhere
All I found was despair
That's not enough for me
There is so much more that I need

When I'm questioning
Who am I supposed to be?
What is my place in life?

I hear beckoning
The silent answers ring
Be still and you will find

When I'm questioning
Who am I supposed to be?
What is my place in life?

I hear beckoning
The silent answers ring
Be still and you will find

Covering

I remember driving through the hills
On a bright and shiny day
When the big blue sky held
Puffy clouds of gray
I remember stopping to take it in
One breath taking scene
When You revealed to me
That You're my covering

Grace and mercy covered me
Like shadows from the clouds upon the ground
As I stared into the great big sky
Your love came pouring down
And You covered me, You covered me

I can see Your Glory all around
In the expanse of the sky
Whenever I stop
and open up my eyes
So thankful for these things
You show me every day
That is why
I love to praise His name

Grace and mercy covered me
Like shadows from the clouds upon the ground
As I stared into the great big sky
Your love came pouring down

As I stop and look around
Your Glory can be found
In everything I see
Reaching out You draw me in
Touching me deep within
Reveal Yourself to me

Cast Your shadow over me
Just like a covering
Let me rest beneath the shadow of Your wings
In Your covering

Grace and mercy covered me
Like shadows from the clouds upon the ground
As I stared into the great big sky
Your love came pouring down
And You covered me, You covered me

Living a Happy Life

Have you ever grown tired
of walking the hallways of life
A thousand locked doors
One hundred corners
Which way is right?
Well there is light, hope and truth
And a Map to guide our way
And it's a rope to grab onto with every ounce of faith

I found the keys to living a happy life
And a map to guide me through
In the word of God I found hope
And it can be the same for You
It holds the keys to living a happy life

In every page and every verse
God lays it out for me
I search each page to find the help
I need so desperately
And there is joy living life
following The Way
One true hope guiding me
to make my path straight

I found the keys to living a happy life
And a map to guide me through
In the word of God I found hope
And it can be the same for You
It holds the keys to living a happy life

When I try to live my life
With the word up on my shelf
I quickly find I can't make it by myself
'cause without God I am flesh and bone
weak and lost living on my own

I found the keys to living a happy life
And a map to guide me through
In the word of God I found hope
And it can be the same for You
It holds the keys to living a happy life

Blinding Force

There were times in my life
I wandered aimlessly
Let my guard down for a while
Let the darkness surround me

Layer by layer I let it build
Giving up one value at a time
Opened cracks, Windows, then the doors
Told myslef I would be fine

What a lie! What a Lie!

Its so clear now that I look back
I gave in to little things
But all those things didn't seem so bad

Didn't think I had given in
Didn't think I had given up
That's the trouble with sin as it builds
A blinding force within us

Now I see, Now I see
Now I'm free so free

Lord hold me close
I never want to fall that
Far away again
And help me see those little things
That open doors to sin

There were times in my life
I wandered aimelessly

Miles of You

Lyrics by Deb Rempel, Music by: A Nichols

You saw the fears
That stole my breath
They left a panic
That filled my chest
And oh I tried to calm myself
Finally I cried to You for help

Lord You covered me
With miles and miles of You
Made sure no harm could ever
make it through

I was too torn to know the truth
Lord You covered me with miles of you

Some of You soaked in enough
To heal my panic with your love
My emptiness was healed in time
As Your tenderness wrapped my mind

Lord You covered me
With miles and miles of You
Made sure no harm could ever
make it through

I was too torn to know the truth
Lord You covered me with miles of you

And through the years it seems
There's always more
Miles of You covering me Lord

You covered me
With miles and miles of You
Made sure no harm could ever
make it through

Flow Through

Wash me in Your waves
I need Your peace today
Your mercy and Your grace

Flow Through my very core
Flow through me evermore

Pour Your love on me
I'll let it flow for the world to see
Your power and Your strength

Flow Through my very core
Flow through me evermore

Yes Lord I need You More
More and More and More and More and More

Your love rushing over me
All that You are surrounding me
Your waves of peace encompass me

Flow Through my very core
Flow through me evermore

100 Years

Standing in the same place
Where you stood one hundred years ago today
My thoughts keep tunring to
How much this world has changed

If you were standing here
Would you run in fear
When you saw how much this world has changed
If I were standing there
Would I shed a tear for years
of innocense we've let fade away

Take a look at our lives
We've let the simple things
Steal our loves away
So much distraction
So little satisfaction in our lives today

If you were standing here
Would you run in fear
When you saw how much this world has changed
If I were standing there
Would I shed a tear for years
of innocense we've let fade away

Oh I'm gonna slow down
Gonna play in the rain
Return the values
of one hundred years ago today

If you were standing here
If I were standing there

If you were standing here
Would you run in fear
When you saw how much this world has changed
If I were standing there
Would I shed a tear for years
of innocense we've let fade away

All That I Have

You can take my house
You can take my car
You can take them all
I don't need them anymore

You have taken me
You have molded me
You have shown to me
What it means to be free

All that I have I give it freely
I finally found out what it means to be free

Free from everything
that could never make me happy
Free from everything You never wanted me to be
So free that I can follow
Wherever You may lead

You have taken me
You have molded me
You have shown to me
What it means to be free

All that I have I give it freely
I finally found out what it means to be free

Free from everything
that could never make me happy
Free from everything You never wanted me to be
So free that I can follow
Wherever You may lead

Undeserving

Lord these hands of mine will move
All my efforts are for You
You've blessed me with Your love
What else can I do

Lord these feet of mine will dance
At every step and every chance
You've blessed me with Your love
Now I'm speechless

I'll praise You all my days
Your love has blessed me more than I can say
And I'm so undeserving
Undeserving of Your love

Earthly wisdom makes no sense
When I'm standing in Your presence
You know me oh so well
You hear my voice in silence

I'll praise You all my days
Your love has blessed me more than I can say
And I'm so undeserving
Undeserving of Your love

I shudder to think how life would be
Without Your precios love for me

More than I can say
More than I can say
More that I can say
You've blessed me

I'll praise You all my days
Your love has blessed me more than I can say
And I'm so undeserving
Undeserving of Your love

Wisdom of Man

So many books upon our shelves
offer secrets to the world's wealth
We're storing up the wisdom of man
In pages of black and white
That are too gray too understand

What are we putting in?
What are we getting out?
Why are we filling our heads
with things that could lead to doubt?

What are letting in?
Why aren't we spitting out
This so called wisdom from our mouths?

We're so quick to just believe
It's way too easy to be decieved
Try not to fall into this trap
These lies build caverns so deep
It's hard to climb your way back

What are we putting in?
What are we getting out?
Why are we filling our heads
with things that could lead to doubt?

What are letting in?
Why aren't we spitting out
This so called wisdom from our mouths?

It's time we take a closer look
Within ourselves
It's truth versus lies
In a thousand books upon our shelves
How much longer can we stand
Willingly drinking in the wisdom of man

What are we putting in?
What are we getting out?
Why are we filling our heads
with things that could lead to doubt?

What are letting in?
Why aren't we spitting out
This so called wisdom from our mouths?
