1.Healing Begins

Lyricist:Michael Donehey, Jason David Ingram, Jeff Owen

So you thought you had to keep this up
All the work that you do so we think that you're good
And you can't believe it's not enough
All the walls you built up are just glass on the outside

So let 'em fall down
There's freedom waiting in the sound
When you let your walls fall to the ground
We're here now

This is where the healing begins, oh
This is where the healing starts
When you come to where you're broken within
The light meets the dark, the light meets the dark

Afraid to let your secrets out
Everything that you hide can come crashing through the door now
But too scared to face all your fear
So you hide but you find that the shame won't disappear

So let it fall down
There's freedom waiting in the sound
When you let your walls fall to the ground
We're here now, we're here now, oh

This is where the healing begins, oh
This is where the healing starts
When you come to where you're broken within
The light meets the dark, the light meets the dark

Sparks will fly as grace collides with the dark inside of us
So please don't fight this coming light
Let this blood come cover us
His blood can cover us

This is where the healing begins, oh
This is where the healing starts
When you come to where you're broken within
The light meets the dark, the light meets the dark


2.Deck the Halls

Deck the halls with boughs of holly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Tis the season to be jolly,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Don we now our gay apparel,
Fa la la, la la la, la la la.
Troll the ancient Yule tide carol,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

See the blazing Yule before us,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Strike the harp and join the chorus.
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Follow me in merry measure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
While I tell of Yule tide treasure,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Oh Christmas time is my favorite time of year
Deck the halls and holiday cheers
Watch our troubles fade out of sight
As we celebrate the birth of Jesus tonight

Fast away the old year passes,
Hail the new, lads and lasses,


Sing we joyous, all together,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.
Heedless of the wind and weather,
Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Cause Christmas time is my favorite time of year
We deck the halls and holiday cheers
Everything it will be alright
As we celebrate the birth of Jesus tonight

Come on deck the hall, come on deck the halls, it's Christmas
time yeah
Come on deck the hall, come on deck the halls, be alright
Come on deck the hall, come on deck the halls, it's Christmas
time
Come on deck the hall, come on deck the halls, be alright
It's gonna be alright
It's Christmas time, cause it's Christmas time baby
It's my favorite time of the year
yo, grab the tree, grab the lights.


3.On & On

Lyricist:Mike Donehey, Jason Ingram, Jeff Owen

Love, I have waited for you
And love, I was wounded for you
Won't you look into my eyes
Through the pain and through your pride
And find I am true?

You're the one I can't deny
And I'll never leave your side
I gave my life for you
So what are you waiting for?

Well, on and on we go
Come love, take my hand
On and on we go
Time and time again

On and on we go
Back to where this all began
Come love, take my hand

Life, is waiting for you
And life, I have given to you
Well, tell me, what else can I do?
What more have I left to prove
That I am what you need?

Still I will hold onto your heart
Through the chaos and the dark
When your eyes fail to see
So what are you waiting for?

On and on we go
Well, come love, take my hand
On and on we go
As you runaway again
On and on we go
Back to where this all began

Well, broken, I was for you
Broken, I'm still for you
My broken heart breaks for you
Broken, I'm over you

On and on we go
On and on we go
On and on we go
Well, come love, take my hand

On and on we go
Time and time again
On and on we go
Back to where this all began

Well, come love, take my hand
Well, come love, take my hand
Come away, my love


4.Love Is Here

Lyricist:Michael Donehey, Jason David Ingram, Jason Jamison, Phillip
Larue, Drew Middleton

Come to the Water
You who thirst and you'll thirst no more
Come to the Father
You who work and you'll work no more

And all you who labor in vain
And to the broken and shamed

Love is here, love is now
Love is pouring from His hands, from His brows
Love is near, it satisfies
Streams of mercy flowing from His side
'Cause love is here

Come to the Treasure
You who search and you'll search no more
And come to the Lover
You who'll want and you'll want no more, no

And all you who labor in vain
And to the broken and shamed, yeah

Love is here, love is now
Love is pouring from His hands, from His brows
Love is near, it satisfies
Streams of mercy flowing from His side, yeah

And to the bruised and fallen
Captives, bound and broken hearted
He is the lord, He is the lord, yeah

By His strifes He's paid our ransom
From his wounds we drink salvation
He is the lord, He is the lord

Love is here, love is now
Love is pouring from His hands, from His brows
Love is near, it satisfies
Streams of mercy flowing from His side
Streams of mercy flowing from His side
'Cause love is here, love is here


5.By Your Side

Lyricist:Michael Donehey, Jason David Ingram, Phillip Larue

Why are you striving these days?
Why are you trying to earn grace?
Why are you crying?
Let me lift up your face, just don't turn away

Why are you looking for love?
Why are you still searching as if I'm not enough?
To where will you go child?
Tell me where will you run, to where will you run?

'Cos I'll be by your side wherever you fall
In the dead of night whenever you call
And please don't fight these hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you

Look at these hands at my side
They swallowed the grave on that night
When I drank the world's sin
So I could carry you in and give you life
I wanna give you life

And I'll be by your side wherever you fall
In the dead of night whenever you call
And please don't fight these hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you

Here at my side wherever you fall
In the dead of night whenever you call
And please don't fight these hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you

'Cause I, I love you, I want you to know
That I, yeah I love you, I'll never let you go
No, no

And I'll be by your side wherever you fall
In the dead of night whenever you call
And please don't fight these hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you

Here at my side wherever you fall
In the dead of night whenever you call
And please don't fight these hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you

Here at my side
My hands are holding you


6.Go Tell It On The Mountain

Lyricist:Traditional

While shepherds kept their watchin'
O'er silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light

Well, the shepherds feared and trembled
When lo and above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our savior's birth

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

Down in a lowly manger
Our humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas morn

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born, that Jesus Christ is born


7.Empty Hands

Lyricist:Mike Donehey

I've got voices in my head
And they are so strong
And I'm getting sick of this

Oh Lord, how long will I be haunted
By the fear that I believe?
My hands like locks on cages
Of these dreams I can't set free

But if I let these dreams die
If I lay down all my wounded pride
If I let these dreams die
Will I find, that letting go lets me come alive?

So empty my hands
Fill up my heart
Capture my mind with You
Oh, empty my hands
Fill up my heart
Capture my mind with You

With You
With You, Lord

'Cause these voices speak instead
What's right is wrong
And I'm giving into them

Oh please, Lord, how long will I be held captive
By the lies that I believe?
My heart's in constant chaos
And it keeps me so deceived

But if I let these dreams die
If I could lay down my dark desire
'Cause if I let these dreams die
Will I find, You brought me back to life?

So empty my hands
Fill up my heart
Capture my mind with You
Oh Lord, empty my hands
Fill up my heart
Capture my mind with You

'Cause my mind is like a building burning down
I need Your grace to keep me
Well, keep me from the ground
My heart is just a prisoner of war
A slave to what it wants and to what I'm fighting for
So won't You

So empty my hands
Fill up my heart
Capture my mind with You
Oh, empty my hands
Fill up my heart
Capture my mind with You

With You

With You
I need You now
I need You now, Lord
With You
With You
I need You now, Lord


8.Hearts Safe

Lyricist:Mike Donehey, Jeff Owen

I feel it in your eyes
There's pain that covers up these lies
Now you may look like me
But it seems you're really different on the inside

We use to keep our hearts safe
We kept them safe and locked away
But then we grew up
Learning that life could service in a better way

And why?
I'm asking you, why?

So what happened to your eyes?
Well, I saw them wander just like mine
So how did we come to see
So differently after all this time?

And why?
I'm asking, why?

And why?
I'm asking you, why?

Well, if the sheep know His voice
Now tell me what is the choice
For the ones who haven't heard
And have no need to rejoice?

Father, well, help me understand
'Cause I am just like him and Lord he's just like me
We came from the same town and the same families
But now he, he just won't understand
Please Lord, open up his eyes
Can you open these eyes?

And why?
I'm asking you, why?


9.Truth Is Who You Are

Lyricist:Mike Donehey, Jason Ingram

It would be easier
If You were just a thought in my head
Simply something that I once read
Belief needing my defense

And it would be easier
If You were something I once knew
A hope just to hold onto
But You are holding out your hands

'Cause You came to take us back to the start
You came to touch the hardness of our hearts
You gave us truth, the truth is who You are
It's who You are

And it's not enough to just say I believe
'Cause truth is talk is cheap
So grace give me eyes to see

That You came to take us back to the start
You came to touch the hardness of our hearts
You gave us truth, the truth is who You are
It's who You are, it's who You are

Flesh and blood, You offer us
Oh, to eat the bread and drink the cup
Oh, to taste, to see, to feel, to touch
Emmanuel, God, with us
Emmanuel, God, with us

'Cause You came to break the chains apart
To wake the dead and sleeping of our hearts
You gave us truth, the truth is who You are
It's who You are, it's who You are

It's who You are


10.In My Arms

Well it's about time you made some sense*
You gotta throw down your 10 foot fence
And realize that its time to relax, baby
Came back, put some slack on
Rest till the days are all gone
Keep dreaming about your dreams, baby

Cause its plain to see life is taking over you
It's hard to find some down time
So just stay with Me, fall into My arms again
Everything you need is right here: in My arms

Well I see the hurt in your eyes
Stress made the tears that you've cried
Well that's not what I'm all about, baby
Let Me be the your shoulder to cry
Let Me wipe the tear from your eye
Came back a slacked, relaxed, baby

Cause its plain to see life is taking over you
It's hard to find some down time
So just stay with Me, fall into My arms again
Everything you need is right here: in My arms

Well it's about time you made some sense
You gotta throw down your 10 foot fence
And realize that its time to relax, baby
Came back, put some slack on
Rest till the days are all gone
Keep dreaming about your dreams, baby

Cause its plain to see life is taking over you
It's hard to find some down time
So just stay with Me, fall into My arms again
Everything you need is right here: in My arms
Cause its plain to see life is taking over you
It's hard to find some down time
So just stay with Me, fall into My arms again
Everything you need is right here: in My arms

In My arms
