When you're up against a wall
And your mountain seems so tall
And you realize that life's not always fair
You can run away and hide
Let the old man decide
Or you can change your circumstances with a prayer
When everything falls apart
Praise his name
When you have a broken hear
Raise your hands and say
Lord, you're all I need
You're everything to me
And he'll take the pain away
When it seem your all alone
Praise his name
When you feel you cant go on
Just Raise your hands and say
Greater is he that is within me
And you can praise the hurt away
If you'll just praise his name
Ohhh,
You can overcome
By the blood of the lamb
And by the word of your testimony
You'll see the darkness go
As your faith begins to grow
You're not alone, so how can you be lonely
Why me, Lord? What have I ever done
To deserve even one of the blessings I've known
Why me, Lord? What have I ever do
That was worth love from You
And the kindness You've shown
Lord help me, Jesus, I've wasted it
So help me, Jesus, I know what I am
What I am
Now that I know that I've needed You so
Help me, Jesus, my soul's in Your hands
Try me, Lord, if You think there's a way
That I can ever repay what I've taken from You
What I've been through myself
On my way back to You
Lord, help me, Jesus, I've wasted it
So help me, Jesus, I know what I am
What I am
And now that I know that I've needed You so
Help me, Jesus, my soul's in Your hands
Lord, help me, Jesus, I've wasted it
So help me, Jesus, I know what I am
Now that I know that I've needed You so
Help me, Jesus, my soul's in Your hands
Jesus, my soul's in your hands
This world is not my home, I'm just a-passin' through
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue
The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
Oh Lord, you know I have no friend like you
If Heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do
The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
They're all expecting me and that's one thing I know
My Saviour pardoned me and now I onward go
I know he'll take me through, though I am weak and poor
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
Just over in Gloryland we'll live eternally
The saints on every hand are shouting victory
Their songs of sweetest praise drift back from Heaven's shore
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
Oh Lord, you know I have no friend like you
If Heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do
The angels beckon me from Heaven's open door
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
And I can't feel at home in this world anymore
esus Christ was a man that traveled through the land
A carpenter true and brave
He said to the rich give your goods to the poor
And they laid Jesus Christ in the grave
He went to the sick and he went to the poor
And he went to the hungry and the lame
And he said that the meek would inherit the whole world
And they laid Jesus Christ in the grave
One day Jesus stopped at a rich man’s door
What must I do to be saved
Take all you own and give it to the poor
And they laid Jesus Christ in the grave
When the love of the poor shall one day turn to hate
When the patience of the workers give away
Would be better for the rich if they never been born
So they laid Jesus Christ in the grave
When Jesus came to town all the working folks around
Believed what he did say
But bankers and preachers nailed him to the cross
And they laid Jesus Christ in the grave
Well the people held their breath when they heard about his death
And everybody wondered why
Was the landlord and soldiers lawmen there had hired
That nailed Jesus Christ in the sky
We would lay Jesus Christ in the grave Lord Lord
We would lay Jesus Christ in the grave
And if Jesus preached today like he preached in Galilee
We would lay Jesus Christ in his grave
Jesus Christ was a man that traveled through this land;
A carpenter, true and brave;
Said to the rich, "Give your goods to the poor",
So they laid Jesus Christ in His grave.
Jesus was a man, a carpenter by hand;
Carpenter true and brave;
And a dirty little coward called Judas Iscariot
Laid Jesus Christ in His grave.
The people of the land took Jesus by the hand,
They followed Him far and wide;
"I come not to bring you peace, but a sword",
So they killed Jesus Christ on the sly.
He went to the sick, he went to the poor;
And he went to the hungry and the lame;
Said that the poor would one day win this world,
And so they laid Jesus Christ in His grave.
They nailed Him there to die on a cross in the sky,
In the lightning, the thunder and the rain.
Judas Iscariot committed suicide
When they laid poor Jesus Christ in his grave.
One day Jesus stopped at a rich man's door.
"What must I do to be saved?"
"You must take all your goods and give it to the poor",
And so they laid Jesus Christ in His grave.
They nailed Him there to die on a cross in the sky,
In the lightning, the thunder and the rain.
Judas Iscariot committed suicide
When they laid poor Jesus Christ in his grave.
When the love of the poor shall one day turn to hate,
When the patience of the workers gives away;
"Would be better for you rich if you never had been born",
So they laid Jesus Christ in His grave.
This song was written in New York City,
Of rich man, preachers, and slaves;
Yes, if Jesus was to preach like He preached in Galillee [sic],
They would lay Jesus Christ in His grave.

Morning by morning I wake up to find
The power and comfort of God’s hand in mine
Season by season I watch Him, amazed
In awe of the mystery of His perfect ways
All I have need of, His hand will provide
He’s always been faithful to me.
I can’t remember a trial or a pain
He did not recycle to bring me gain
I can’t remember one single regret
In serving God only, and trusting His hand
All I have need of, His hand will provide
He’s always been faithful to me.
This is my anthem, this is my song
The theme of the stories I’ve heard for so long
God has been faithful, He will be again
His loving compassion, it knows no end
All I have need of, His hand will provide
He’s always been faithful, He’s always been faithful
He’s always been faithful to me.

.Count your blessings one by one
When dawn appears and day has just begun
They will light your heart with happiness
Make each hour bright and bring you gladness
Count your blessings one by one
When twilight falls and toil of day is done
And in sweet dreams they'll come again to you
If you will count your blessings each day through
Count your blessings while you may
For we are here but little time to stay
All around are hearts sincere and true
Lovely things abound just waiting for you
Count your blessings while you may
The big or small, whichever comes your way
For then you'll find this world a place of love
If you will count your blessings from above
The moment I wake up Before I put on my makeup I say a little pray for you While combing my hair now, And wondering what dress to wear now, I say a little prayer for you
Forever, and ever, you'll stay in my heart and I will love you Forever, and ever, we never will part Oh, how I love you Together, forever, that's how it must be To live without you Would only meen heartbreak for me.

I was taking a trip on a plane the other day, just wishin’ that I could get out.
When the man next to me saw the book in my hand and asked me what it was about.
So I settled back in my seat. "A best-seller," I said, "a hist’ry and a myst’ry in one."
Then I opened up the book and began to read from Matthew, Mark, Luke and John...
"He was born of a virgin one holy night in the little town of Bethlehem.
Angels gathered ‘round Him underneath the star singing praises to the great I AM.
He walked on the water, healed The lame, and made the blind to see again.
And for the first time here on earth we learned that God could be a friend.
And though He never ever did a single thing wrong, the angry crowd chose Him.
And then He walked down the road and died on the cross and
that was the end...of the beginning."
"That’s not a new book, that’s a Bible," he said, "And I’ve heard it all before.
I’ve tried religion, it’s shame and guilt, and I don’t need it anymore.
It’s superstation, made-up tales, just to help the weak to survive."
"Let me read it again," I said, "But listen closely, This is gonna change your life."
"He was born of a virgin one holy night in the little town of Bethlehem.
Angels gathered ‘round Him underneath the star singing praises to the great I AM.
He walked on the water, healed the lame, and made the blind to see again. And for the first time
here on earth we learned that God could be a friend. And though He never ever did a single thing
wrong, the angry crowd chose Him. And then He walked down the road and died on the cross and
that was the end...of the beginning."
"The end of the beginning?" he said with a smile. "What more
could there be? He’s dead. You said they hung Him, put nails in
His hands and a crown of thorns on His head." I said, "I’ll read it
again, but this time there’s more.
And I believe that this is true: His death wasn’t the end but the beginning of life that’s completed in you.
Don’t you see, He did allthis for you..."
"He was born of a virgin one holy night in the little town of
Bethlehem. All the angels singing praises to the great I AM.
He walked on the water, healed the lame, and made the blind to see.
And for the first time here on earth, did you know that God could be a friend?
And thought He never ever did a single thing wrong, He was the one the crowd chose.
And then He walked and He died, but three days later, three days later, three days later...
He rose! Three days later He rose!
You see, He came, He lived, and He died, but that was the end of the beginning.
You are my strength when I am weak You are the treasure that I seek You are my all in all Seeking You as a precious jewel Lord, to give up I'd be a fool You are my all in all
Taking my sin, my cross, my shame Rising up again I bless Your name You are my all in all When I fall down You pick me up When I am dry You fill my cup You are my all in all
Jesus, Lamb of God Worthy is Your name Jesus, Lamb of God Worthy is Your name
You are my strength when I am weak You are the treasure that I seek You are my all in all Seeking You as a precious jewel Lord, to give up I'd be a fool You are my all in all
Taking my sin, my cross, my shame Rising up again I bless Your name You are my all in all When I fall down You pick me up When I get dry You fill my cup You are my all in all
Jesus, Lamb of God Worthy is Your name Jesus, Lamb of God Worthy is Your name
Who taught the sun where to stand in the morning?
And who told the ocean you can only come this far?
And who showed the moon where to hide till evening?
whose words alone can catch a falling star?
Chorus:
Well I know my redeemer lives
I know my redeemer lives
All of creation testifies
this life within me cries
I know my redeemer lives
ye-e-eah
The very same God
that spins things in orbit
runs to the weary, the worn and the weak
and the same gentle hands that hold me when I'm broken
they conquered death to bring me victory
Now I know, my redeemer lives
I know my redeemer lives
let all creation testify
LEt this life within me cry
I-I-I know
my redeemer
He lives
to take away my shame
and he lives
forever I'll proclaim
that the payment for my sin
was the precious life He gave
but now he's alive and
there's an empty
grave!
And I know
my redeemer lives
He lives
I know
my redeemer lives
let all creation testify
Let this life within me cry
I-I-I know my redeemer
I know
my redeemer lives
I know my redeemer lives
I know, That I know, that I know, that i know
He lives
Because of him l I can face tommorow
He lives
I spoke with him this morning!*
He lives
The tomb is empty
He lives
I gotta tell everybody!!
You don't have to worry
And don't you be afraid
Joy comes in the morning
Troubles they don't last always
For there's a friend in Jesus
Who will wipe your tears away
And if your heart is broken
Just lift your hands and say
Oh
I know that I can make it
I know that I can stand
No matter what may come my way
My life is in your hands
With Jesus I can take it
With Him I know I can stand
No matter what may come my way
My life is in your hands
So when your tests and trials
They seem to get you down
And all your friends and loved ones
Are nowhere to be found
Remember there's a friend in Jesus
Who will wipe your tears away
And if you heart is broken
Just lift your hands and say
Oh
I know that I can make it
I know that I can stand
No matter what may come my way
My life is in your hands
With Jesus I can take it
With Him I know I can stand
No matter what may come my way
My life is in your hands
Imagine me
Loving what I see when the mirror looks at me cause I
I imagine me
In a place of no insecurities
And I'm finally happy cause
I imagine me
Letting go of all of the ones who hurt me
Cause they never did deserve me
Can you imagine me?
Saying no to thoughts that try to control me
Remembering all you told me
Lord, can you imagine me?
Over what my mama said
And healed from what my daddy did
And I wanna live and not read that page again
[Chorus:]
Imagine me, being free, trusting you totally finally I can...
Imagine me
I admit it was hard to see
You being in love with someone like me
But finally I can...
Imagine me
Being strong
And not letting people break me down
You won't get that joy this time around
Can you imagine me?
In a world (in a world) where nobody has to live afraid
Because of your love fears gone away
Can you imagine me?
[Bridge:]
Letting go of my past
And glad I have another chance
And my heart will dance
'Cause I don't have to read that page again
Now I know wrote this song for somebody
Cause I figure at some point in everybody's life
We just feel like
Lord I'm split in two
Part of me loves the world
And the other loves You
So what do I do
I wanna be saved
But I gotta stay cool too
And no I'm not a fool
I know eventually I'm gonna have to choose
And really I don't wanna lose
My ticket into heaven
And a chance to be used by You
And if it's You I'm after
Then I can't serve two masters
And before something happens
I gotta turn it all around
Because I know
I can't just have my cake and eat it too
Cause it's real easy to stay on the fence and still do You
And it'd be cool if we could love the Lord and still go do our thing
But see it doesn't work like that
I gotta be white or black
Oh ooohh
Lord I've realized
when it comes to sin
You just don't compromise
It's a matter of death and life
Be weak and do wrong
Or be strong and do right
And I don't wanna keep going to church
Singing about how much You're worth
And then continue doing my dirt
Living as if I didn't care if You're hurt
And if it's God that I'm after
Then I can't serve two masters
And before something happens
I gotta turn it all around
Because ya know
You can't just have your cake and eat it too
Cause it's real easy to stay on the fence and still do You
And it'd be cool if we could love the Lord and still go do our thing
See it doesn't work like that
You gotta be white or black
We saint's gotta
Get it together
Just gotta
Get it together
And if it's God we're after
We gotta pick one master
And before something happens
We betta turn it all around
Because ya know
You can't just have your cake and eat it too
Cause it's really easy to stay on the fence and still do you
And it'd be cool if we could love the Lord and still go do our thing
See it doesn't work like that
u gotta be white or black
Cause it don't work like that
You gotta pick white or black...
No gray
No shades of gray
No no no no no no no no nah
Don't work like that
Gotta be white or black
People don't understand why we lift our hands and sing praises and people can't comprehend that when we dance we're not crazy
See maybe they don't realize that sitting high is the Father and this is what we were created for. Nothing less or more but to worship You.
Hook:
I just wanna say that Yours is the best love that I've ever had. I just wanna say that I think it's only fair that we give it back.
Chorus:
I love you, ooh
I love you, ooh ohh
Just as surely as I know my name I know one thing that'll never change.
I love you, ooh ohh
No one else can compare. No one, no where to my Savior. I mean I get new mercies everyday and You still find room for more favor.
I can't believe there ever was a time that I tried to hide who You were to me but those days are long over now. I'll show it proud for all to see.
Hook:
I just wanna say that...Yours is the best love that I've ever had. I just wanna say that...I think it's only fair that we give it back
Chorus:
I love you, ooh
I love you, ooh ohh
Just as surely as I know my name I know one thing that'll never change.
I love you, ooh ohh
See I love you all You do all You say all Your ways who You are. Lord I really love You. ooh ohh woahh
See here's my heart. I'll make room as if we were the bride and the groom. Yes I do wanna take time just to give ya
What's do...
All of the glory and honor
Chorus
I love you, ooh
I love you, ooh ohh (From the bottom of my heart I do)
Just as surely as I know my name I know one thing that'll never change
I love you, ooh ohh
I Love you
I Love you ooh
I Love You ( I just wanna say that I love you)
Just as surely as I know my name, Jonathan, I know that you will always be my best friend
At twenty years of age
I'm still looking for a dream
A war is already waged for my destiny
But You've already won the battle
And You've got great plans for me
Though I can't always see, 'cause...
I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
And on my own I'm so clumsy
But on Your shoulders I can see
I'm free to be me
When I was just a girl
I thought I had it figured out
See my life will turn out right
And I'll make it here somehow
But things don't always come that easy
And sometimes I would doubt, 'cause...
And you're free to be you
Sometimes I believe
That I can do anything
Yet other times I think
I've got nothing good to bring
But You look at my heart and you tell me
That I've got all You seek
And it's easy to believe, even though...
Night time, quiet time, Loved ones gather at day's end. I hold them close, I help them know That God will always be their friend. Then just before I say goodnight My little ones kneel by my chair. I close my eyes, I dim the lights, And listen to this simple prayer:
Heavenly Father, are you really there? And do you here and answer ev're child's prayer? Some say that heaven is far away, But I feel is close around me as I pray.
Heavenly Father I remeber now Something that Jesus told disiples long ago: "Suffer the children to come to me." Father, in prayer I'm coming now to thee.
Pray, He is there. Speak, He is list'ning. You are His child, His love now surround you. He hears your prayer, He loves the children. Of such is the kingdom, the Kingdom of heav'n.
Heavenly Father, are you really there? He hears and answers every child's prayer. Please hear my prayer.
Seems like I should run away 'Cause life has hitten me in the face Hey, hey, but I'm here And I'll never surrender to fear Retreating, be defeated no way 'Cause I can't, I can't. 'Cause I can see it, I'm getting closer The hardest part of this is almost over And now I'm stronger, I'm a fighter And only victory can satisfy this hunger.
[Chorus:] I'll never wave my flag, never wave my I'll never wave my flag, never wave my I'll never wave my flag, never wave my I'll never wave my flag, never wave my Oh... I'll be more then on Oh... I'll keep holding Never wave my flag.
Seems like I should run away 'Cause life has hitten me in the face My face, my face But I'm so focused and I'm so driven I gotta make the best out of this life for living Can't be the winner if I surrender, I won't surrender, I can't surrender.
[Chorus:] I'll never wave my flag, never wave my I'll never wave my flag, never wave my I'll never wave my flag, never wave my I'll never wave my flag, never wave my Oh... I'll be more then on Oh... I'll keep holding Never wave my flag.
I realize this is the day 'Cause I no longer feel afraid I keep fight through the pain 'Cause I know something's gonna change I see the haters standing around So I know I gotta make it count Get ready for war, I'm standing my ground No matter the score, I'll never back down.
I'll never wave my I'll never wave I'll never wave, wave, wave
Oh... I'll keep holding on Oh... I'll keep holding Oh... I'll keep holding on Oh... I'll keep holding Never wave my flag, no!
Seems like I should run away 'Cause life has hitten me in the face Not today, not today.
[Verse 1:]
It's evident you run the show, so let me back down
You take the leading role, and I'll play the background
I know I miss my cues, know I forget my lines
I'm sticking to your script, and I'm reading all your signs
I don't need my name in lights, I don't need a starring role
Why gain the whole wide world, If I'm just going lose my soul
And my ways ain't purified, don't live according to Your Word
I can't endure this life without Your wisdom being heard
So word to every dance, a foe, a pop star
'Cause we all play the background, but mine's a rockstar
Yeah, so if you need me I'll be stage right
Praying the whole world will start embracing stage fright
So let me fall back, stop giving my suggestions
'Cause when I follow my obsessions, I end up confessing
That I'm not that impressive, matter of fact
I'm who I are, a trail of stardust leading to the superstar
[Chorus:]
I could play the background
I could play the background
Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
And I could play the background, background
And you could take the lead
[Verse 2:]
I had a dream that I was captain of my soul
I was master of my fate, lost control. and then I sank
So I don't want to take the lead, 'cause I'm prone to make mistakes
All the folks who follow me, going end up in the wrong place
So let me just shadow you, let me trace your lines
Matter of fact, just take my pen, here, you create my rhymes
'Cause if I do this by myself, I'm scared that I'll succeed
And no longer trust in you, 'cause I only trust in me
And see, that's how you end up headed to destruction
Paving a road to nowhere, pour your life out for nothing
You pulled my card, I'm bluffing, You know what's in my hand
Me, I'm just going to trust you, You cause the dice to land
I'm in control of nothing, follow you at any cost
Some call it sovereign will, all I know is you the boss
Man, I'm so at ease, I'm so content
I'll play the background, like it's an instrument
[Chorus:]
I could play the background
I could play the background
Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
And I could play the background, background
And you could take the lead
[Bridge:]
I know I'm safest when I'm in Your will, and trust Your Word
I know I'm dangerous when I trust myself, my vision blurred
And I ain't got no time to play life's foolish games
Got plenty aims, but do they really Glorify Your name
And it's a shame, the way I want to do these things for You
Don't even cling to you, take time to sit and gleam from You
Seems You were patient in my ignorance
If ignorance is bliss, it's 'cause she never heard of this
[Chorus:]
I could play the background
I could play the background
Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
And I could play the background, background
And you could take the lead
[Chorus:]
I could play the background
I could play the background
Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
And I could play the background, background
And you could take the lead.
[Chorus:]
I could play the background
I could play the background
Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
So won't You take the lead, lead, lead?
And I could play the background, background
And you could take the lead

(Soloist)
For so long i was silent
And for so long i did not have a song of praise
depression filled my days and clouds blocked my way
But there was a voice speaking to me
Awaking the passion so quiet in me
In me
So still in me
(Choir)
But I choose to worship (Choose to worship)
I just cant give up (I just cant give up, no)
I choose to worship (I choose to worship, yes I do)
My mind is made up (My mind is made up, oh)
(Soloist)
Is that Your voice, calling me
Into that secret place with Thee
(Choir)
My heart has longed for this moment (My heart has longed for this moment, with Thee)
(Choir)
But I choose to worship (Choose to worship)
I just cant give up (I just cant give up, no)
I choose to worship (I choose to worship, yes I do)
My mind is made up (My mind is made up, oh)
He's healing me, Im gonna worship (8x)
Im gonna worship (5x)

My heart longed for this moment with, Thee
And I choose to worship
Just wanna make it to heaven
I just wanna make it in
I just wanna cross that river
I wanna be free from sin
Oo, I just want my name written(Oh Lord)
Written in the lambs Book of Life
When this life is over

Whenever I feel the rain on my face
Or the wind as it rushes by,
Whenever I touch a velvet rose
Or walk by our lilac tree,
I’m glad that I live in this beautiful world
Heav’nly Father created for me.
He gave me my eyes that I might see
The color of butterfly wings.
He gave me my ears that I might hear
The magical sound of things.
He gave me my life, my mind, my heart:
I thank him rev’rently
For all his creations, of which I’m a part.
Yes, I know Heav’nly Father loves me.
Every night it’s all the same
You’re frozen by the phone
You wait, something’s changed
You blame yourself every day
You’d do it again
Every night
There’s something ’bout love
That breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh
It sets you free
There’s something ’bout love
That tears you up
Whoa oh oh oh
You still believe
When the world falls down like the rain
It’ll bring you to your knees
There’s something ’bout love that breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh…
But don’t give up
There’s something ’bout love
When you were young
Scared of the night
Waiting for love to come along
And make it right
Your day will come, the past is gone
So take your time
And live and let live
There’s something ’bout love
That breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh
It sets you free
There’s something ’bout love
That tears you up
Whoa oh oh oh
You still believe
When the world falls down like the rain
It’ll bring you to your knees
There’s something ’bout love that breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh…
But don’t give up
There’s something ’bout love
Don’t fight
Don’t hide
Those stars in your eyes (in your eyes)
Let em’ shine tonight
Let em’ shine tonight
Hang on
Hang in
For the ride of your life
It’s gonna be alright
Hold on tight
There’s something ’bout love
That breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh
There’s something ’bout love
That breaks your heart
Whoa oh oh oh
It sets you free
There’s something ’bout love
That tears you up
Whoa oh oh oh

Whoa oh oh oh..
Set’s you free
There’s something bout love
That tears you up

If the Savior stood beside me, would I do the things I do?
Would I think of His commandments and try harder to be true?
Would I follow His example? Would I live more righteously,
If I could see the Savior standing nigh, watching over me?
If the Savior stood beside me, would I say the things I say?
Would my words be true and kind if He were never far away?
Would I try to share the gospel? Would I speak more reverently
If I could see the Savior standing nigh, watching over me?
If the Savior stood beside me, would my thoughts be clean and pure?
Would His presence give me strength and hope, and courage to endure?
Would His counsel guide my actions? Would I choose more worthily
If I could see the Savior standing nigh, watching over me?
If the Savior stood beside me, would I often kneel to pray?
Would I listen to the Spirit's voice, and hasten to obey?
Would I count my many blessings? Would I praise Him gratefully
If I could see the Savior standing nigh watching over me?
If the Savior stood beside me, would I comfort those in need?
Would I try to show the Savior's love in every word and deed?
Would I give to those who hunger? Would I serve more willingly
If I could see the Savior standing nigh, watching over me?
He is always near me, though I do not see Him there
And because He loves me dearly, I am in His watchful care
So I'll be the kind of person that I know I'd like to be
If I could see the Savior standing nigh, watching over me.
