Speaking Louder Than Before

Jeremy Camp Speaking Louder Than Before Lyrics
1.Slow Down Time

Staring at this empty canvas
Waiting for the next stroke of my life
It seems to go by so fast
Another day i've wasted wondering
How it all ends up instead of resting
that it's all in Your hands

My only peace is waiting before you
With my praise to you drowning the noise around me

I wish I could slow down time,
I wish I could wait here at your feet
Cause with you is the only place that I wanna be,
I know I should take it all in stride,
I know you are there with every reach
Cause with you is the only place that I want to be

On my own I always fade out fast
But on the rock my every step will last
I'm resting in your words that never fail
Your searching every part of me
I need to stop so I can hear you speak
I long for you so here I am so thirsty

My only peace is waiting before you
With my praise to you drowning the noise around me

I wish I could slow down time,
I wish I could wait here at your feet
Cause with you is the only place that I wanna be,
I know I should take it all in stride,
I know you are there with every reach
Cause with you is the only place that I want to be

The greatness of your presence leaves me kneeling speechless
I've given up on making this life my home
the fullness of your glory is beyond my comprehension,
there's no greater joy than being with you my king

I wish I could slow down time,
I wish I could wait here at your feet
Cause with you is the only place that I wanna be,
I know I should take it all in stride,
I know you are there with every reach
Cause with you is the only place that I want to be

I wish I could slow down time,
I wish I could wait here at your feet
Cause with you is the only place that I wanna be


2.Capture Me

You search inside the deepest parts
You radiate the darkness in my heart
I can't hide no more
You took this life that once was frail
And gave a strength where hopelessness won't prevail
And there's life more abundantly

Your beauty Lord I know it captures me
Your sweet embrace it brings me to my knees
Oh you capture me oh Lord you capture me
You opened up my heart and made a home in me
You lifted up the weight the world has placed on me
Oh you capture me oh Lord you capture me

You brought me joy that words can't speak
You gave a truth where lies will never reach
I won't fight no more
You gave me peace from this life of fear
Never alone at every grasp you were near
Now there's life more abundantly

Your beauty Lord I know it captures me
Your sweet embrace it brings me to my knees
Oh you capture me oh Lord you capture me
You opened up my heart and made a home in me
You lifted up the weight the world has placed on me
Oh you capture me oh Lord you capture me

I can feel your touch, I can feel your heart
And your fullness flowing over
Your waves of mercy over me

Your beauty Lord I know it captures me
Your sweet embrace it brings me to my knees
Oh the love you show it pours all over me
Oh you capture me oh Lord you capture me
You opened up my heart and made a home in me
You lifted up the weight the world has placed on me
Oh you capture me oh Lord you capture me

I can feel your touch, I can feel your heart
Oh you capture me oh Lord you capture me
I can feel your touch, I can feel your heart
Oh you capture me oh Lord you capture me


3.Speaking Louder Than Before

Hear now this declaration
From out across the nations
We need to wake up and understand

Many hurting hearts are crying
But our voices seem to be dying
Can you see the battle raging on?

We are the light to reach this world
We are the salt preserving these souls
Let's show them the love that we've received now

We are, we are in desperation
We need to reach this generation
We are speaking louder than before

We are the hope that's been forgotten
We have the love that will be brought and
We are speaking louder than before

Take every chance that you can
Move together taking a stand
Never losing heart, we'll speak as one

We need to be the image of Christ
Show love and serve at all times
We can make a difference in these lands

We are the light to reach this world
We are the salt preserving these souls
Let's show them the love that we've received now

We are, we are in desperation
We need to reach this generation
We are speaking louder than before

We are the hope that's been forgotten
We have the love that will be brought and
We are speaking louder than before

Everything's so surreal
But this urgency I feel
We should be reaching out
to all these desperate pleas

Oh, the meet is real can't you feel
Let's call it revolution
My beating heart is breaking for them
That's why I'm speaking now
That's why I'm speaking now

We are, we are in desperation
We need to reach this generation
We are speaking louder than before

We are the hope that's been forgotten
We are the love that will be brought and
We are speaking louder than before

We are, we are, we're speaking louder
We are, we are, we're speaking louder
We are speaking louder than before
We are speaking louder than before


4.There Will Be A Day

I try to hold onto this world
With everything I have
But I feel the weight of what it brings
And the hurt that tries to grab
The many trials that seem to never end
His word declares this truth
That we will enter in this rest
With wonders anew
But I hold onto this hope
And the promise that He brings
That there will be a place with no more suffering

There will be a day with no more tears
No more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day
When the burdens of this place
Will be no more
We'll see Jesus face to face
But until that day
We'll hold onto You always

I know the journey seems so long
You feel you're walking on your own
But there has never been a step
That you've walked out all alone
Troubled soul don't lose your heart
Cause joy and peace He brings
And the beauty that's in store
Outweighs the hurt of life's sting
But I hold onto this hope
And the promise that He brings
That there will be a place with no more suffering

There will be a day with no more tears
No more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day
When the burdens of this place
Will be no more
We'll see Jesus face to face
But until that day
We'll hold onto You always

I can't wait until that day
Where the very one I've lived for always
Will wipe away the sorrow that I've faced
Oh, to touch the scars that rescued me
From a life of shame and misery
Oh, this is why, this is why I sing

There will be a day with no more tears
No more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day
When the burdens of this place
Will be no more
We'll see Jesus face to face

There will be a day with no more tears
No more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day
When the burdens of this place
Will be no more
We'll see Jesus face to face

There will be a day
He'll wipe away the stains
He'll wipe away the tears
He'll wipe away the tears
There will be a day


5.I Know Who I Am

I try so hard but I always fall short
So I've faced the truth of my weakness
There's nothing good that I can bring forth
But I stand in the strength of your presence
I've wasted time always trying to face things alone
But I wait here now and I lay it all down

I know who I am and I know I'm not able
To stand on my own I can't live all alone
So I'm taking my hands and I'm reaching them out
And I fall down I fall down for you and I fall down

In times of brokenness always you show
The depth of love that you bring me
I'm kneeling down in your presence I know
You source of life I'm receiving
I place myself in your arms that will always lead me
And I won't let go cause there's now where else to go

I know who I am and I know I'm not able
To stand on my own I can't live all alone
So I'm taking my hands and I'm reaching them out
And I fall down I fall down for you and I fall down

I don't know why the things I want to do
I always run from now,
because I know apart from you there's nothing
that I can I do where life will become new

And I know who I am and I know I'm not able
To stand on my own I can't live all alone
So I'm taking my hands and I'm reaching them out
And I know that I'll take everything thats in me
And I fall down I fall down for you and I fall down for you


6.I'm Alive

I felt so overwhelmed with guilt
I don't know how many times that I'd fight it
I'd try it and barely survived it

I fell in the nearest pool of shame
Took the blame and everything that surrounds it
Well I found it and I drowned in it

Oh I never thought that I'd erase this
or replace this feeling down
Oh but my whole life changed
when you saved me and forgave me now

I'm alive I'm alive like i've never been
Been revived from the lies that were deep within
it's the past now it's the past
Cause Christ has given life where i'll never thirst again

I'm alive I'm alive like i've never been
Been revived from the lies that were deep within
it's the past now it's the past
Cause Christ has given life where i'll never thirst again

I lost everything I had
But I'm glad cause I would never have found you
Well it rings true the words that spoke through

You've given more than I can say
And I know that I could never repay you
but I thank you I can't wait to embrace you

Oh I spun around for a long time and I always felt so blind
I never thought I could feel it well I feel it now

I'm alive I'm alive like i've never been
Been revived from the lies that were deep within
it's the past now it's the past
Cause Christ has given life where i'll never thirst again

I'm alive I'm alive like i've never been
Been revived from the lies that were deep within
it's the past now it's the past
Cause Christ has given life where i'll never thirst again

Oh I can feel it now every time I turn around
Knowing I have been set free from the pain and misery
I will make the most, of this hope I have

I'm alive I'm alive like i've never been
Been revived from the lies that were deep within
it's the past now it's the past
Cause Christ has given life where i'll never thirst again

I'm alive I'm alive like i've never been
Been revived from the lies that were deep within
it's the past now it's the past
Cause Christ has given life where i'll never thirst again

I'm alive I'm alive like i've never been
Been revived from the lies that were deep within
it's the past now it's the past
Cause Christ has given life where i'll never thirst again

I'm alive I'm alive like i've never been
Been revived from the lies that were deep within
it's the past now it's the past
Cause Christ has given life where i'll never thirst again


7.You Will Be There

I begin the day with the faith you fashion my ways
And I cannot escape for your hand it leads
Your right hand holds me
When I wake you will be there
When the sun goes down in the night you will be there

My life has been ordained
You have formed this very frame
And I am fearfully made
For I was made in that secret place
When I wake you will be there
When the sun goes down in the night you will be there
When I wake you will be there
When the sun goes down in the night you will be there

How precious are your thoughts all over me
They're more than the sands of the sea
When I wake you will be there
When the sun goes down in the night you will be there
When I wake you will be there
When the sun goes down in the night you will be there
When I wake you will be there
When the sun goes down in the night you will be there
You will be there


8.Healing Hand Of God

I have seen the many faces of fear and of pain
I have watched the tears fall plenty from heartache and strain
So if life's journey has you weary and afraid
There's rest in the shadow of his wing

I have walked through the valleys the mountains and plains
I have held the hand of freedom that washes all my stains
If you feel weight of many trials ad burdens of this world
There's freedom in the shelter of the Lord

I have seen the healing hand of God
Reaching out and mending broken hearts
So taste and see the fullness of his peace
And hold on to what's being held out
The healing hand of God

I have touched the scars upon his hands to see if they were real
He has walked the road before me he knows just how I feel
When you feel that there's not anyone who understands your pain
Just remember all of Jesus' suffering

I have seen the healing hand of God
Reaching out and mending broken hearts
So taste and see the fullness of his peace
And hold on to what's being held out

Cast all your cares on Him for he cares for you
He's near to the broken and confused
By his stripes our spirit is renewed
So enter in the joy prepared for you

I have seen the healing hand of God
Reaching out and mending broken hearts
So taste and see the fullness of his peace
And hold on to what's being held out


9.So In Love

So many times I've fallen so many ways I've failed you
So many times I've stepped out on my own
I know I'm undeserving but I feel you are preserving
The only good that I have shown
The only words that I can bring are these very words I sing
So I sing to you now

I am so in love with you
There's nothing else I'd choose
You've stolen my heart
Yes I'm all for you

Nothing can separate me from the grace that you gave free
I know you'll never let me go
Even though you know my frailties every single thing about me
You showed the greatest love that's known
The only words that I can bring are these very words I sing
So I sing to you now

I am so in love with you
There's nothing else I'd choose
You've stolen my heart
Yes I'm all for you

I am so in love with you
There's nothing else I'd choose
You've stolen my heart
Yes I'm all for you

Time and time again you show the depth of love that you bestow
I'll never fully understand it's too great for me to know
But I'll always try to bring I'll try to bring you everything

I am so in love with you
There's nothing else I'd choose
You've stolen my heart
You have my heart now

I am so in love with you
There's nothing else I'd choose
You've stolen my heart
You have my heart now

I am so in love with you
You've stolen my heart
I am so in love with you
There's nothing else I'd choose
You've stolen my heart
Yes I'm all for you


10.My Fortress

I can feel it coming over me
All the weight of what this fear can bring
I know on my own I can't survive and I'm fading fast now
I'm closing in on what's in store for me
All the rest in your security
I'm holding on to the words you speak and your speaking clear

I'm running fast to seek your face
Head first I dive into your grace

You are my fortress you are the refuge where I hide
You are the strength when I can't fight
You are the only one I rest my life in
You are the only hope I find
You are my only peace of mind
You are the only one I rest my life in

I'm taking hold of what's in front of me
A place where I can rest my weary feet
There's no other place that I can go so I'm waiting here now
I'm letting go what the world will bring
a sanctuary that will never breathe
I found my heart in that place before but I'll never go back

I'm running fast to seek your face
Head first I dive into your grace

You are my fortress you are the refuge where I hide
You are the strength when I can't fight
You are the only one I rest my life in
You are the only hope I find
You are my only peace of mind
You are the only one I rest my life in

I get lost within that place
The place where I'll always wish I stay

You are my fortress you are the refuge
You are the only hope I find
You are the only one I rest my life in
You are my fortress you are the refuge
You are my only peace of mind
You are the only one I rest my life in


11.Giving You All Control

I felt like I was spinning didn't know what was up or down
Tried to fix what I had broken scattered all around
It's seems that everything I try walking by myself
I end up on my face with no where else to go
So I surrender all my ways

Take all of these impurities
Giving you this wretched soul
I'm giving you these insecurities
Giving you all control

I've placed my feet on the floor
Making sure I won't make that mistake anymore
I've tasted all the emptiness around me never going back
I've set myself up for the lies that this will satisfy
But your all that I need and I have peace inside
So please keep tearing out all my pride

Take all of these impurities
Giving you this wretched soul
I'm giving you these insecurities
Giving you all control

I'm taking all these and laying them at your feet now
I'm resting in the fact that everything is safe now
I'm taking all these and laying them at your feet now
I'm resting in the fact that everything is safe now

Take all of these impurities
Giving you this wretched soul
I'm giving you these insecurities
Giving you all control


12.Surrender

Purify this tainted soul
I'm tired of living life a fool
Soften up this hardened clay
To be a servant this I pray
A reflection of you I long to be
So your kingdom I will seek

I surrender to your throne
I surrender to your throne
I will make my heart your home
I surrender to your throne

I've taken things I thought my own
Only to reap all I've sown
You've given back the years I've fought
Unending love and grace you've brought
Eternal hope and peace you bring
So forever unto you I will sing

I surrender to your throne
I surrender to your throne
I will make my heart your home
I surrender to your throne

Forever unto you I'll sing
Forever unto you I'll sing
Forever unto you I'll sing
Forever unto you I'll sing

I surrender (I surrender) (xN)

Soften up this hardened clay
To be a servant this I pray
