These Simple Truths

Sidewalk Prophets These Simple Truths Lyrics
1.Just Might Change Your Life

You've got your reasons
Reasons just to walk away
No one would blame you if you didn't want to face the pain
You find yourself
Up against the wall
You're scared to push cause it might fall
And it
Just might change your life
You're on the edge now take one step
And you just might find you'll fly
You never know what will happen next
Don't be afraid to let go this time
It just might change your life

You keep on reaching
Reaching for a hand to hold
You're scared you'll wake up on the edge of the unknown
You find your heart in fragile place
Afraid to move cause it might break
And it
Just might change your life
You're on the edge now take one step
And you just might find you'll fly
You never know what will happen next
Don't be afraid to let go this time
It just might change your life
Don't be afraid to let go

Just let go, just let go, just let go, just let go!
And it
Just might change your life
You're on the edge now take one step
And you just might find you'll fly
You never know what will happen next
And it just might change your life
You're on the edge now take one step
And you just might find you'll fly
You never know what will happen next
Don't be afraid to let go this time
Don't be afraid to let go this time
It just might change your life


2.Show Me How To Love

Passed by you today
Why is there a war between us?
Are you not my brother?
Are you not my sister?
Something's got to change

Stood by you today
Why is there a wall between us?
Are you not my sister?
Are you not my brother?
Well something's got to change

I confess that I've been blind
Open up this heart of mine
Show me how to love
Farther than this world I know
Take me where You want me to go
Show me how to love

I know the times are always changing
But our hearts still beat the same
We have a Father
We have a Savior
And that will never change

I confess that I've been blind
Open up this heart of mine
Show me how to love
Farther than this world I know
Take me where You want me to go
Show me how to love

We are one heart beating
We are one body breathing
We are broken and needing
The same love of the Father

I confess that I've been blind
I confess, start with me, Lord

I confess that I've been blind
Open up this heart of mine
Show me how to love
Farther than this world I know
Take me where You want me to go
Show me how to love


3.You Can Have Me

If I saw You on the street
And You said come and follow me
But I had to give up everything
All I once held dear and all of my dreams

Would I love You enough to let go
Or would my love run dry
When You asked for my life

When did love become unmoving?
When did love become unconsuming?
Forgetting what the world has told me
Father of love, You can have me
You can have me

If You're all You claim to be
Then I'm not losing anything
So I will crawl upon my knees
Just to know the joy of suffering

I will love You enough to let go
Lord, I give you my life
I give you my life

When did love become unmoving?
When did love become unconsuming?
Forgetting what the world has told me
Father of love, You can have me
You can have me

I want to be where You are
I'm running into Your arms
And I will never look back
So Jesus, here is my heart

When did love become unmoving?
When did love become unconsuming?
Forgetting what the world has told me
Father of love, You can have me

When did love become unmoving?
When did love become unconsuming?
Forgetting what the world has told me
Father of love, You can have me
You can have me

My Father, my love
You can have me


4.The Words I Would Say

Three in the morning, and I'm still awake
So I picked up a pen and a page
And I started writing just what I'd say
If we were face to face

Tell you these simple truths

Be strong in the Lord
And never give up hope

Take your time and pray

And I felt your pain in my heart

5.Moving All The While

In the morning as I wake
I pray my eyes do see
On this narrow road I walk
You have made a path for me

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
You were moving all the while

In sickness and in doubt
Or questions that may raise
You claimed victory on the cross
And You filled my lungs with praise

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
You were moving all the while

On a dark and silent night
Above Your beauty shines
And Your peace shall fill the earth
By Your love we are refined

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
You were moving all the while

Through all the bitter storms
Whatever comes our way
You will guide this vessel home
To live for all my days

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
You were moving all the while

Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah
You were moving all the while
You were moving all the while


6.For What It's Worth

For what it's worth
I'll give all that I have
Without ever looking back I'll follow you
For what it's worth
I will offer up my life
As living proof of what Your love can do

I will run and not grow weary
I will walk and not be faint

I can't sing loud enough
I could never earn Your love
I'm just a glimpse of the hope You see in me
Hold my heart in Your hands
Jesus, help me understand
I can only give my life

For what it's worth
I am standing here amazed
By the wonders that Your mighty hands have made
I don't deserve
To be covered by Your grace
So with every breath the least that I can say

I will run and not grow weary
I will walk and not be faint

I can't sing loud enough
I could never earn Your love
I'm just a glimpse of the hope You see in me
Hold my heart in Your hands
Jesus, help me understand
I can only give my life

I will give my all to You my king
There is nothing more that you ask of me
I will lift will lift my voice, and I will sing
There is nothing more that I can give a king
I will lift my voice, I will lift my voice

I can't sing loud enough
I could never earn Your love
I'm just a glimpse of the hope You see in me
Hold my heart in Your hands
Jesus, help me understand
I can only give my lif
I can only give my life, for what it's worth


7.You Love Me Anyway

The question was raised
As my conscience fell
A silly, little lie
It didn't mean much
But it lingers still
In the corners of my mind

Still you call me to walk
On the edge of this world
To spread my dreams and fly
But the future's so far
My heart is so frail
I think I'd rather stay inside

But You love me anyway
It's like nothing in life that I've ever known
You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me
How You love me

It took more than my strength
To simply be still
To seek but never find
All the reasons we change
The reasons I doubt
And why do loved ones have to die?

But You love me anyway
It's like nothing in life that I've ever known
You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me
I am the thorn in Your crown
But You love me anyway
I am the sweat from Your brow
But You love me anyway
I am the nail in Your wrist
But You love me anyway
I am Judas' kiss
But You love me anyway

See now, I am the man that called out from the crowd
For Your blood to be spilled on this earth shaking ground
Yes then, I turned away with this smile on my face
With this sin in my heart tried to bury Your grace
And then alone in the night, I still called out for You
So ashamed of my life, my life, my life

But You love me anyway
Oh, God how you love me
You love me anyway
It's like nothing in life that I've ever known
You love me anyway
Oh Lord, how You love me
You love me, You love me
You love me, You love me
How You love me
How You love me
How You love me


8.All Things New

There's a place deep inside of me
No one else has ever seen
And I fight to keep the light
From reaching the darkness within me

I've been holding onto secrets
That I can never tell
Cause if I did, then you'd know
That I was really someone else

Can you forgive, will you forget
All these wrongs and make me whole again

You restore the broken,
You heal the sinner's heart
You make all things new,
all things new
On the cross Your love was spoken,
You even wore the scars
To make all things new,
all things new

You have carried all the pain
So heavy on my soul
Lift me up, and hold me close
You will never let me go

I should have know the walls I built
Were never strong enough
To keep You, from reaching me
Nothing's greater than Your love

Can you forgive, will You forget
All these wrongs and make me whole again

You restore the broken,
You heal the sinner's heart
You make all things new, all things new
On the cross Your love was spoken,
You even wore the scars
To make all things new, all things new

You release the chains
Of all my yesterdays
And I am not the same, Lord
I am not the same
You restore the broken,
You heal the sinner's heart
You make all things new, all things new
On the cross Your love was spoken,
You even wore the scars
To make all things new, all things new
From the beginning till the end of time
You love will never change
You make all things new, all things new
From the sand upon the shoreline
To the stars up in the sky
You make all things new, all things new


9.You Will Never Leave Me

You may find me in the midnight
Fallen down upon my knees
Or riding out another storm
Praying for some peace

Even when I feel alone
Jesus, this I know
You will never leave me
You will always be the one
Who calms the raging sea
You will never leave me
You will always be the one
Who's holding onto me

You may lead me to the desert
Where I'm empty and afraid
Wandering this nothingness
Thirsting for the rain

I will not give into fear
Cause Lord, I know You're here
You will never leave me
You will always be the one
Who calms the raging sea
You will never leave me
You will always be the one
Who's holding onto me

Tough my heart is breaking
And my faith is shaking
Standing strong cause I believe
You have promised me,
You'll never leave

You will never leave me
You will always be the one
Who calms the raging sea
You will never leave me
You will always be the one
Who's holding onto me


10.Give It All Away

I've held on for all this time
To something that was never mine
I've kept Your love like there was none to spare
I've heard the call and seen the need
But I've been lost in apathy
When did I get to comfortable to care?

The world is crying out
So hungry for a change
Lord, let us be the ones to say
Take my heart
Lord I pray
That I can give it all away
Let me give it all away
Cause I long to feel compassion
For a world that needs Your grace
Take my heart
I want to give it all away

You have filled this empty soul
With mercy that has overflowed
The way You give to me seems so unfair
So here is my life it's all for the one
Who gave it all in the name of love
Now this hope You give to me
I've got to share

The world is crying out
So hungry for a change
Lord, let us be the ones to say
Take my heart
Lord, I pray
That I can give it all away
Let me give it all away
Cause I long to feel compassion
For a world that needs Your grace
Take my heart
I want to give it all away

Let us be the change
Let us be Your light
Let us be Your hope
And let us give it all away
Let us be the change
Let us be Your light
Let us be Your hope
I want to give it all

So, take my heart
Lord, I pray
That I can give it all away
Let me give it all away
Cause I long to feel compassion
For a world that needs Your grace
Take my heart
I want to give it all away
Take my heart
I want to give it all away
Take my heart
I want to give

I've held on for all this time
To something that was never mine


11.Lay Down My Life

All your pain
Will be made mine
All your troubles
The tears you cry

Give it up
All that binds
I will place it on my shoulders
And up this hill I'll climb

Father, give me strength
I know there is no other way
I lay down my life for you
This is the moment
when all will be made new
I know that you don't understand
But this is part of a greater plan
So I lay down my life for you

This is love
That had to bleed
To bring you mercy
To set you free
You are mine
I am yours
And I will wear your burdens
Just like this crown of thorns

I will take your place
I know there is no other way
I lay down my life for you
This is the moment
when all will be made new
I know that you don't understand
But this is part of a greater plan
And I lay down my life for you

Give me all your pride
Give me all your fears
Give me all your secrets
Give me all your tears
Give me all you doubt
Give me all your shame
Watch them wash away
Watch them wash away
Give me all your pride
Give me all your fears
Give me all your secrets
Give me all your tears
Give me all you doubt
Give me all your shame
Watch them wash away
In Jesus' name

I lay down my life for you
This is the moment
when all will be made new
I know that you don't understand
But this is part of a greater plan
And I lay down my life for you

Though I know that you don't understand
These scars are part of a greater plan
And I lay down my life for you
Arms stretched out
Upon this tree
To show true love
To set you free
