1.I Am (Creation)


2.Good (Adam & Eve)


If I could, I'd rewrite history
I'd choose differently; if I could, I would
I'd leave out the part where I broke Your heart
In the garden's shade, fix the mess I made
If I could, I would

If I could, close my eyes and then
Dance around again; if I could, I would
Be who You adored, why did I need more?
When beauty was not trained to hide behind my shame
If I could, I would.

Can You hear us cry?
Wishing we could turn back time
To feel Your breath when branches move
Take one more sunset walk with You
Must each tomorrow hold
Such brokenness untold?
Can't imagine how You could
See all of me and say it's good

If I could hold one memory
It would surely be how You walked with us
I'd go back in time, untell my first lie
And let love's injury heal in spite of me

Can You hear us cry?
Wishing we could turn back time
To feel Your breath when branches move
Take one more sunset walk with You
Must each tomorrow hold
Such brokenness untold?
Can't imagine how You could
See all of me and say it's good
Say it's good

It is good. It is good.
You still love us more than we believed You could
Could there be something more?
Will it ever be the way it was before?

Can You hear us cry?
Wishing we could turn back time
To feel Your breath when branches move
Take one more sunset walk with You
Must each tomorrow hold
Such brokenness untold?
Can't imagine how You could
See all of me and say it's good


3.Who But You (Abraham & Sarah)


Too little too late, his time has come and gone
Is that what they say when I walk by?
I've got a little more grey, my steps are slow and long
And the promise you've made fades in the moonlight

I see a star; You see the Milky Way
I see one man counting sand
But you see generations

Who, but You, would ever choose
To dream Your dream in me?
Tell me who, but You, would dare me to
Believe what I can't see
Who, but You?

You'd think by now, it wouldn't bother me
The hush from the crowd when I walk by
And you'd think somehow, I'd let my heart believe
It's time to let go of lullabies

I see a star; You see a galaxy
There's just one hope, just one way
These arms will not stay empty

Who, but You, would ever choose
To dream Your dream in me?
Tell me who, but You, would dare me to
Believe what I can't see
Who, but You?

So call me crazy, call me a fool
You alone can do the things You promised to
You are Yahweh, I'm just a man
I'm counting tiny grains of sand
Placing every promise in Your hand

Who, but You, would ever choose
To dream Your dream in me?
Tell me who, but You, would dare me to
Believe what I can't see

Great and mighty God, I believe, I believe You
Keeper of the stars, I believe, I believe You


4.Bend (Joseph)


I am not my family tree
These are different leaves, you know
There are miles and miles between
My roots and what I'm trying to grow

I am not the slave they sold
Nor am I royalty
I've worn them both, the finest coat
And rags that barely cover me

But there's mercy in the soil, mercy in the sun
Learning to forgive, what cannot be undone
And what was meant to harm can't harm you in the end
Stepped out on a limb I thought might break
But Love said, it will only bend; it will only bend.

I am not my past mistakes
Labelled by some place and time
Nor am I a trophy case
Trying to maintain my shine

I have dreamed a thousand dreams
Watched a grain in famine, grow
I am not my family tree
I have branches of my own

But there's mercy in the soil, mercy in the sun
Learning to forgive, what cannot be undone
And what was meant to harm can't harm you in the end
Stepped out on a limb I thought might break
But Love said, it will only bend

Oh, does fate resign us to
Find shelter for our wounds
Beneath the battered roof of broken dreams?
Oh, but I will choose to stand
In the shadow of Your hand
And see what grows when Grace has sown the seed

These are different leaves, you know

But there's mercy in the soil, mercy in the sun
Learning to forgive, what cannot be undone
And what was meant to harm can't harm you in the end
Stepped out on a limb I thought might break
But Love said, it will only bend; it will only bend.
It will only bend, ooh-oh
It will only bend.


5.It Must Be You (Moses)


I'd like to look in the mirror, without hiding my eyes
I'd like to see what You see, why You think I'm qualified
To speak for You, O God, Most High

Who hides a baby in the reeds of a river, until he's grown?
Gives him a stage and the strength to deliver his people home?
'Cause I'm tongue tied, weak in the knees
Must be something You only see

If there's anything good, anything that's good in me
Well, it must be You, must be You
And if there's any part of my shaking heart to see this journey
through
It must be You; it must be You
Must be You; it must be You

Not gonna argue with fiery branches that speak my name
Not gonna start taking backward glances from where we came
'Cause tomorrow's holding our dreams, but today I'm here on my
knees

If there's anything good, anything that's good in me
Well, it must be You, must be You
And if there's any part of my shaking heart to see this journey
through
It must be You; it must be You
Must be You; it must be You

O God of parting water; God of falling bread
If my words should falter, will You speak instead?
You must see something good, You must see something true
It must be You
It must be You...

If there's any part of my shaking heart to see this journey
through
It must be You; it must be You
Must be You; it must be You


6.Bring Us Home (Joshua)


I'm a man in the land of giants, I'm the cry of a thousands
dreams
I'm the shoulders holding a nation high enough to still believe
We remember the chains we carried, won't forget about the day we
left
Every hearts still beats with hope of a promise made, a promise
kept
Yahweh, oh Yahweh, bring us a new day

Bring us home, lead us to the highest wall
Every single stone will fall, we have never walked alone
Only You can bring us home

No mercy in the high noon desert, no shadow gonna block the sun
Still covered in dust from all our yesterdays and days to come
Every turn is a new temptation, you want to bow down to
something new
As for me and my generation we'll serve no one but You
Yahweh, oh Yahweh, bring us a new day

Bring us home, lead us to the highest wall
Every single stone will fall, we have never walked alone
Only You can bring us home
Every teardrop in the sand longing for a distant land
We have never walked alone
Only You can bring us home

You are fire in the night sky; You are cloud by day
We're calling on the name of Yahweh

In seven days everything was made
And in a week, it's crazy how everything can change
Yah, and we gonna march around this wall
'Til we hear the Lord's call hoping life will never be the same
So when your life is all a wilderness
And your darkest night is every one you took a breath
All you know to do is follow hoping for a new tomorrow
Where your sorrows don't exist and pain is put to death
As we stomp around a seventh time
I anticipate a taste of what He says is mine
Cry, cry, until you see it fall till you look beyond a wall
And you see it all.


7.I'm With You (Ruth & Naomi)


Love is a hurricane in a blue sky
I didn't see it coming, never knew why
All the laughter and the dreams
All the memories in between
Washed away in a steady stream

Love is a hunger; a famine in your soul
I thought I planted beauty, but it would never grow
Now I'm on my hands and knees
Trying to gather up my dreams
Trying to hold on to anything

And we could shake a fist in times like this
When we don't understand
Or we could just hold hands

You and me, me and you
Where you go, I'll go too
I'm with you. I'm with you.
Until your heart, finds a home
I won't let you feel alone
I'm with you. I'm with you.

You do your best to build a higher wall
To keep love safe from any wrecking ball
When the dust has cleared, we will
See the house that Love rebuilds
Guarding beauty that lives here still

You and me, me and you
Where you go, I'll go too
I'm with you. I'm with you.
Until your heart, finds a home
I won't let you feel alone
I'm with you. I'm with you.

Who can say I'm left with nothing
When I have all of you, all of you?
In the way you always love me
I remember He does too.


8.Your Heart (David)


It never was about the oil dripping from my head
I never did dream beyond the pastures I could tend
It never was about the praise, not about the street parade
I didn't really need a crowd when Goliath fell down

I never meant to woo a king with simple shepherd songs
Or hide away inside a cave, safe from danger's arms
I never meant to wear a crown, or try to bring armies down
It never was about me and who I hoped to be

At the end of the day, I wanna hear people say
My heart looks like Your heart, my heart looks like Your heart
When the world looks at me, let them agree
That my heart looks like Your heart, my heart looks like Your
heart

I never thought I would be much more than Jesse's kin
Who would ever dream a king would come from Bethlehem?
I know that I've crashed and burned, lives have been overturned
But You redeem everything, yeah, even me

At the end of the day, I want to hear people say
That my heart looks like Your heart, my heart looks like Your
heart
When the world looks at me, I pray all they see
Is my heart looks like Your heart, my heart looks like Your
heart

Five little stones, or a royal robe
Shepherd or king doesn't mean a thing
At the end of the day

At the end of the day, I wanna hear people say
That my heart looks like Your heart, my heart looks like Your
heart
Unashamed I will dance, In Your name, lift my hands
'Til my heart looks like Your heart, my heart looks like Your
heart


9.No Compromise (Daniel)


Throw me in the ring, toss me to the flames
No one but My King walks me out unscathed
Feed me to the lions, throw away the key
How will they deny who delivers me?
How could I love another?

My knees bow only to One Name
My lips have One King to proclaim
I will lift none other high
This is my one heart's cry
No comprise. No compromise.

Let them keep their gold, I won't be seduced
Can't be bought or sold, I am rich in You
How could I serve another?

My knees bow only to One Name
My lips have One King to proclaim
I will lift none other high
This is my one heart's cry
No comprise. No compromise.

Kingdoms crumble, rulers fall
My God, You will out rule them all
One King. One cry.
With one voice. No compromise


10.Born for This (Esther)


Feels like I've been holding my breath, trying to still my
restless heart
Everything hangs on my next step, finding my nerve, playing my
part
I found shelter underneath his crown, found favour inside his
eyes
Rock this boat, and I just might drown, honesty seems to come
with a price
There's a time to hold your tongue, time to keep your head down
There's a time but it's not now

Sometimes you gotta go, uninvited
Sometimes you gotta speak when you don't have the floor
Sometimes you gotta move, when everybody else says you should
stay
No way, no, not today
You gotta ask, if you want an answer
Sometimes you gotta stand apart from the crowd
Long before your heart could run the risk
You were born for this

I'm leaning on the ones before me, my father's father's dreams
I'm standing on the top of their shoulders calling the One
delivering me
There's a time to hold your tongue, time to keep your head down
There's a time but it's not now

Sometimes you gotta go, uninvited
Sometimes you gotta speak when you don't have the floor
Sometimes you gotta move, when everybody else says you should
stay
No way, no, not today
You gotta ask, if you want an answer
Sometimes you gotta stand apart from the crowd
Long before your heart could run the risk
You were born for this

One step. One move.
Born to trust You.
Made to lay my
Life before You


11.Broken Praise (Job)


If one more person takes my hand and tries to say they
understand
Tells me there's a bigger plan that I'm not meant to see
If one more person dares suggest that I held something
unconfessed
Tries to make the dots connect from righteousness to easy street
Well I, I won't deny I've relied on some assumptions
A man's honest life entitles him to something

But who am I to make demands of the God of Abraham?
And who are You that You would choose to answer me with mercy
new
How many more will wander past to find me here among the ashes
Will you hold me? Will you stay?
So I can raise this broken praise to You

Who else will see my suffering as one more opportunity
To educate; to help me see all my flawed theology
If one more well intentioned friend tries to tie up my loose
ends
Hoping to, with rug and broom, sweep awkward moments from the
room
But I, I can't forget, I have begged just like a madman
For my chance to die and never have to face the morning

But who am I to make demands of the God of Abraham?
And who are You that You would choose to answer me with mercy
new
How many more will wander past to find me sitting in this ash
Will you hold me? Will you stay?
So I can raise this broken praise to You

But You were the One who filled my cup
And You were the One who let it spill
So blessed be your Holy name if you never fill it up again
If this is where my story ends, just give me one more breathe to
say
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah


12.Be Born In Me (Mary)


Everything inside me cries for order
Everything inside me wants to hide
Is this shadow an angel or a warrior?
If God is pleased with me, why I am I so terrified?
Someone tell me I am only dreaming
Somehow help me see with Heaven's eyes
And before my head agrees, my heart is on its knees
Holy is He. Blessed am I.

Be born in me, be born in me
Trembling heart, somehow I believe that You chose me
I'll hold you in the beginning, You will hold me in the end
Every moment in the middle, make my heart your Bethlehem
Be born in me

All this time we've waited for the promise
All this time You've waited for my arms
Did You wrap yourself inside the unexpected
So we might know that Love would go that far?

Be born in me, be born in me
Trembling heart, somehow I believe that You chose me
I'll hold you in the beginning, You will hold me in the end
Every moment in the middle, make my heart your Bethlehem
Be born in me

I am not brave
I'll never be
The only thing my heart can offer is a vacancy
I'm just a girl
Nothing more
But I am willing, I am Yours


13.When Love Sees You (Jesus)


Blessed are you, as you weep on your knees with perfume and
tears washing over My feet
Blessed are you, beggar, hopeless and blind calling for mercy
when I'm passing by
Blessed are you, shaking your head at two tiny fish and some
bread
Blessed are you as you tremble and wait for the first stone
thrown at your sinful disgrace

Tell me your story, show me your wounds
And I'll show you what Love sees when Love looks at you
Hand me the pieces, broken and bruised
And I'll show you what Love sees when Love sees you

Blessed are you, walking on waves to find yourself sinking when
you look away
Blessed are you, leper, standing alone, the fear on their faces,
is all that you've known
Blessed are you, lonely widow who gave your last shiny coin to
Yahweh
Blessed are you with your silver and lies, kissing the One who's
saving your life

Tell me your story, show me your wounds
And I'll show you what Love sees when Love looks at you
Hand me the pieces, broken and bruised
And I'll show you what Love sees when Love sees you

I see what I made in your mother's womb
I see the day I fell in love with you.
I see your tomorrows, nothing left to chance
I see My Father's fingerprints
I see your story, I see My name
Written on every beautiful page
You see the struggle, you see the shame
I see the reason I came

I came for your story, I came for your wounds
To show you what Love sees when I see you


14.How Love Wins (Thief)


My life began like any other man held beneath a mother's loving
gaze
Somewhere between now and then I lost the man I could have been
Took everything that wasn't mine to take but Love believes that
it is not too late
Only one of us deserves this cross, a suffering that should
belong to me
Deep within this man I hang beside is the place where shame and
grace collide
And it's beautiful agony that He believes it's not too late for
me

This is how Love wins, every single time
Climbing high upon a tree where someone else should die
This is how Love heals, the deepest part of you
Letting Himself bleed into the middle of your wounds
This is what Love says, standing at the door
You don't have to be who you've been before
Silenced by His voice, death can't speak again
This is how Love wins

Did you see this moment from the start that we would drink this
of cup of suffering?
I wonder, did we ever meet? Childhood games in dusty streets
For all my many sorrows and regrets nothing could compare to
just this one
That in the presence of my King I cannot fall upon my knees
I cannot carry You up to Your throne; You instead, will carry me
back home.

This is how Love wins, every single time
Climbing high upon a tree where someone else should die
This is how Love heals, the deepest part of you
Letting Himself bleed into the middle of your wounds
This is what Love says, standing at the door
You don't have to be who you've been before
Silenced by His voice, death can't speak again
This is how Love wins

What can wash away my sin? Nothing but the blood, nothing but
the blood
What can make me whole again? Nothing but the blood, Nothing but
the blood
Because this is what Love say, standing at the door
You don't have to be who you've been before
And silenced by His voice, death can't speak again
This is how Love wins.


15.Alive (Mary Magdalene)


Who but You, could breathe and leave a trail of galaxies and
dream of me?
What kind of Love iIs writing my story until the end with
Mercy's pen?
Only You.
What kind of king would chose to wear a crown that bleeds and
scars to win my heart?
What kind of Love tells me I'm the reason He can't stay inside
the grave?
You. Is it You? Standing here before my eyes, every part of my
heart cries

Alive! Alive! Look what Mercy's overcome; Death has lost and
Love has won
Alive! Alive! Hallelujah, Risen Lord, the only One I fall before
I am His because He is alive.

Who could speak, and send the demons back from where they came
with just one Name?
What other heart would let itself be broken every time until He
healed mine?
You. Only You could turn my darkness into dawn; running right
into Your arms

Alive! Alive! Look what Mercy's overcome; Death has lost and
Love has won
Alive! Alive! Hallelujah, Risen Lord, the only One I fall before
I am His because He is alive.

Emmanuel, the promised King the baby who made angels sing
Son of Man who walked with us, healing, breathing in our dust
The author of all history, the answer to all mysteries
The Lamb of God who rolled away, the stone in front of every
grave


16.Empty (Disciples)


All my devotion and misguided loyalty
Swinging my sword in the garden while you pray for your enemies
All my allegiance, I loved You and You alone
But who'd believe that I could mean it now that the rooster
crowed?

Now we're huddled up here, trying to swallow our fear
We still smell the bread and wine, hear your words running
through our minds
Holding our breath now, for what comes next now
Holding out for some kind of sign

But there's empty cross, there's an empty tomb
Fire and wind now sweeping in this tiny upper room
There's a hungry world, there's a risen King
Unlock the doors, what reason more could we ever need?
So sing with me, I dare you to
Because there's an empty cross; there's an empty tomb

We wept from a distance, watched pieces of our dreams
Buried with you, every last wound, sealed with stone, beyond our
reach
Sweet, sweet Jesus, every question, every fear
Vanishing, like vapour dreams now that you're standing here

Now the tears come easy, when you say you're leaving
We touched the place the nails went through, wanting one more
day with you
But it's goodbye now, for a little while now
Believing everything you said is true

But there's empty cross, there's an empty tomb
Fire and wind now sweeping in this tiny upper room
There's a hungry world, there's a risen King
Unlock the doors, what reason more could we ever need?
So sing with me, I dare you to
Because there's an empty cross; there's an empty tomb

We will sing this song to make Your name live on
Until every heart hears of the way You rescued us


17.Move In Me (Paul)


The man I buried had a heart of stone
Left him in there in the bright light out on a dirt road
The day You saved me, from shadow and shame
Old things gone, got a new song, got a new name
Burnin' like a wildfire, kickin 'up flames
A brand new man in a wasteland singing about grace
Gonna jump the fences, until the world is free
But I won't make a move until You move in me.

I'm knocking on doors, You're keeping the keys
Maybe they'll open, maybe they're not for me
I'm setting the sails, You ready the seas
But I won't make a move until You move in me.

Gonna sing a little louder, gonna rattle these chains
Locked up tight round midnight won't stay that way
Gonna bless this dirt floor, gonna kiss these walls
Singing Your praise until the earth shakes and watching them
fall

I'm knocking on doors, You're keeping the keys
Maybe they'll open, maybe they're not for me
I'm setting the sails, You ready the seas
But I won't make a move until You move in me.


18.The Great Day (Second Coming)


We met pain in a garden where we lived a lie
We met hope in a manger and a baby's cry
Rescued by hands bleeding grace
Are we ready to see His face?
On the great day

He will come to claim us with a rushing wind
Blown like fields of wheat, the world will bow and bend
Held between our joy and disbelief
Every trembling heart will finally face the same way
On the great day

One day Love will wear the crown; one day Love will set us free
Hands up high and faces down; angels teaching us to sing
He will be King, He will be King

He who scattered us on every distant shore
He will gather us unto Himself once more
Let the story of our footprints tell
We were walking well, holding high Your name
Until the great day

One day Love will wear the crown; one day Love will set us free
Hands up high and faces down; angels teaching us to sing
He will be King, He will be King

He will be the new sunrise
Steal the darkness from our eyes
When we fail to find the words
Holy, Holy we will cry
He will be the new sunrise
Holy, Holy we will cry
On the great day
