v1. To look upon Your face
To rest in Your embrace
To live in Your sweet grace
Is what I need, is what I need
v2. To follow after You
No matter what the world may do
You have always seen me through
You've led the way; You've led the way
ch. I lay myself at Your feet.
In You oh Lord I am complete.
I lift my hands in sweet release,
To You, to You

I've been bought and paid for,
With the blood of an innocent man.
Though my sin was great,
I was still part of his plan.
I've been bought and paid for,
I've been redeemed from all sin.
I've been washed and made clean
In the blood of the Lamb.
I've been bought and paid for
By the blood of the lamb.

v1. I can feel this longing, deep within my heart

You were calling me (us) to come
You were always there, when no one was with me (us)
You were always there
v2. I can see Your arms, reaching for those lost
How you showed your love, by dying on the cross
ch.
v3. I can see your heart, crying out with pain
Can't you hear his voice as He calls out Your name
v4. I can hear His heart beating rapidly
Every pulse is life, life for you and me.

v1. My heart cries out to You,
In the stillness of the morning.
My soul long throughout the day
My spirit is renewed, as I come into Your presence
Lord, I come to You this way.
ch. With open arms, open heart
I will give myself to You
I won't deny any part. I am Yours all the way through
With open eyes that were blind
I can finally see the truth
With open arms and open heart
br. No more distractions, I've come to worship You
I open up my arms and heart and say... I love You

v1. When my strength is gone, I just can't carry on
The walls are caving in; I feel the pull of sin
When the pressure grows, sometimes I'm lost and cold
On the edge of no control, I remember who holds my hand.
ch. There is peace in the midst of the raging waves
Peace in the midst of the hurricane
Peace no matter what my eyes may see.
Peace be still in me, peace be still in me.
v2. The Young girl tries to hide, this life that grows inside
This unexpected child she has.
There's a choice to make, this baby's life's at stake
Will you help her find her way?
And tell her there's…
br. As we go through life ,searching to do what's right
Ever pressing toward the mark.
Each and everyday, pressures come our way
When we face them we can say…

vs. I will lift up my hands to praise your name.
God of creation You never change.
No matter what circumstance I face
I know I can count upon your grace

Gently whispering your name
Sharing all my heart, in this quiet place
Never leaving it the same

v1. There's a whisper, blowing in the breeze
Can you hear it, as it echoes through the trees?
A gentle voice calls, it's calling out to you
Listen closely; the choice is up to you
Don't run and hide, but look close inside your heart
ch. Harden not your heart, He heals the broken hearted
And binds up their wounds
Harden not your heart. He is ever faithful
Harden not your heart
Through the fire, I can clearly see.
v2. There's a yearning, growing ever strong
Burning desire, a fire shut in my bones
It's increasing; the fire's consuming me.
Not to run and hide, but look close inside my heart
I hear Jesus say to me.
ch2. Harden not your heart. I heal the broken hearted
I'll bind up their wounds
Harden not your heart. I am ever faithful
Harden not your heart

vs. We'll take our stand, we'll take this land
We'll make the devil run
We'll jump and shout and we'll turnabout
Because the battle's already won.
We'll not retreat and there's no defeat
We're sold out to the cross
We're standing strong and the race is on
No matter what the cost.
ch. I want to be a life changer a life changer
With Jesus in my life.
I want to be a life changer a life changer
I choose to do what's right
I want to be a life changer a life changer
With Jesus on the throne of my life.
