::Heavenly Father

(chorus) 
Heavenly Father 
You're the One We're Waiting on 
Because without you there's no way that I can stay strong 
I can't go on any longer on my own 
so hear me when I say 
Heavenly Father, we need your help today 


dada ding ding ding... 
I'm ringin your bell 
Yes it's me 
Come on now let me in 
I've got to see you 
And no one else will do 
I need your help 

You said if ever there was a time a time I needed you 
You would come through 
Yes if ever there was a time and time we needed you 
You know that it's everyday...every way... 

(chorus) 

Lord I'm sorry for all the wrong I've done 
And you say, you know it really doesn't matter at all 
I'm gonna make it 
Cause Your word said I could 
And I believe 

You said if ever there was a time a time I needed you 
You would come through 
Yes if ever there was a time and time we needed you 
Yes if ever there was a time and time we needed you 
You know that it's everyday...every way... 

(chorus)

::Say A Prayer

I still remember the nights 
When there was darkness in my life 
But then You came 
Something deep inside me changed, and now I pray 
I started to trust without fear 
Knowing You'd hold me thru the tears 
Because of You 
I've learned there's nothing love can't do 
So hear me pray 
Just a little help is all we need 
Just a little light we can see 
Just a little faith leads the way 

For everyone who's falling in love 
For every child that needs a touch 
For all of the hopes 
And dreams we share 
And for the hearts that cry tonight 
I'll say a prayer 

How can one voice be heard 
I've got to tell the whole world 
How much You care 
'Cause no one has to walk alone 
So hear me pray 
Just a little help is all we need 
Just a little light we can see 
Just a little faith leads the way 

CHORUS 

I'll close my eyes 
While I'm down on my knees 
It gives me courage to believe 
So I'll keep on believing, I'll keep on believing 

CHORUS

::More Than What I Wanted

I wasn't looking 
All the colors were gray 
It's hard to notice 
When You're out in the rain 
All of a sudden, colors are starting to change 
You brought the light 
Now the darkness is gone 
The search is over now I know you are the one 
Somebody tell me 
Where did an angel come from? 
Cuz you're more than just the one 

CHORUS: 
Yeah, you're more than what I wanted 
Everything I never had 
Gotta get right to your heart 
You can show me where it's at 
You are the miracle I needed so bad 
You're more than what I wanted, 
everything I never had 

Somethin about you 
Can't say what it is 
Thought you should know that 
You are the reason I live 
I would do anything to make you believe me somehow 
So I'm telling you now 
that you're... 

CHORUS 

Just let me say I would die for you 
Give all I have to prove my love is true 
And I'll never let you go... 

More than what I wanted....

::Looking Back At You

What can I do? 
What wish can I make come true? 
Because you mean so much to me 
The love I have for you is so strong 
This is where I belong 
My arms are open wide, so let me hold you 

I will be the rock for you 
The rain for you 
The sun that lights the way across the dark 
No matter where you are 
I'm never very far away 
Night and day my love will lead you through 
Look into your heart I'll be lookin back at you 

It took some time, but finally you're all mine 
It was the hardest road that brought you here 
Now whatever comes will be alright 
I'll never leave your side 
So give me your hand and don't let go 

I will be the rock for you 
The rain for you 
The sun that lights the way across the dark 
No matter where you are 
I'm never very far away 
Night and day my love will lead you through 
Look into your heart I'll be lookin back at you 

We'll find our way through every storm 
Together now 
Just look into your heart 
I'll be there 

I will be the rock for you 
The rain for you 
The sun that lights the way across the dark 
No matter where you are 
I'm never very far away 
Night and day my love will lead you through 
Look into your heart I'll be lookin back at you

::More Than Just A Friend

h*ll 
o Mr. Busy 
I wonder could you share a little time 
Let me introduce you to abundance 
All that you need I will supply 
I wanna be everything 
I wanna be more 

Already know about the secrets 
Already heard about the past 
I didn't come to hold the guilt up over 
Only want to share the love I have 
All I wanna be is everything 
I wanna be more than just your friend 

Let me be the one to hold you through the night 
Then I can take your enemy and win the fight 

I wanna be more than just your sister 
I wanna be more than next of kin 
Gotta be more than just your brother 
I wanna be more than just a friend 
All I wanna be is everything 
I wanna be more 

Stay close to me 
Be ready to hear my next words 
I've got a lot of grace to deliver 
And in case you haven't heard 
I wanna be everything 
I wanna be more 

Many places I can take you 
Many promises to fill 
But in order to recieve them 
We've got to make this clear 
I've got to be everything 
I want to be more than just your friend 

Let me be the one to love you when you're wrong 
Then I can be the lyrics to a happy song 

I wanna be more than just your sister 
I wanna be more than next of kin 
Gotta be more than just your brother 
I wanna be more than just a friend 
All I wanna be is everything 
I wanna be more

::For Love Alone

Do you sit by yourself and wonder what live is all about 
If there's a purpose or a plan or does it happen by chance 
Do you ever think why things always turn out right 
No matter how bad you'll find your way again 
I've learned how to keep it all together and now I know nothing else matters 

(chorus)
For love alone I live my live 
And from this moment on I vow to never lose sight 
If I ever doubt the reason why I'm here 
I'll start questioning my fears and know it's for love alone
Time flies so fast 
Live each day like it's the last 
Cherish what you have 
When it's gone you can't go back 
Cause at the end of the day when we are face to face 
I won't be afraid 
I'm glad to say I've learned how to keep it all together 
And now I know nothing else matters 

(chorus)
what I have inside it will never die 
for love alone I live my live

::Out Of My House

I been sittin here thinking and I've come to conclude 
That you've been takin things that really don't belong to you 
Sit down, better yet get out 
And now you actin up cause you know that I'm on to you 
And now I'm bout to tell you what you're gonna do 
Get out 
Get out, out my house 

Don't want you on my porch no more 
Stop looking through my window open
Cause you're my enemy and not my friend, (not my friend) 
I can see clearly and I don't 

Wanna hear you on my radio 
Don't wanna see you on my TV screen 
Don't wanna read you in my magazine, (movie scene) 
You need to hear me 

(You know you're wrong) 
Tryin to run them games on me 
(And you know you're wrong) 
Tryin to put them chains on me 
(I need you gone gone gone gone gone) 
I need you gone gone- I need you gone 
So now you're gonna have to yield the floor 
And one thing more 
I'm gonna have to show you to the door 
And when you go(And when you go please stay away) 

(Get out my house) 
I don't ever want to have to see your face round here no more 
(Get out my house, out my house, out my house) 
(You need to get out my house) 
I don't ever want to have to see you come around here no more 
(Get out my house, out my house, out my house) 

Stop messin with my family 
I'm takin back what you stole from me 
'Cause now I'm living in victory 
And you don't scare me, I'll tell you why 

God is for me so I'm not afraid 
My escape is already made 
And His life it was the price He paid (Price He paid) 
And now you're under my feet 

(You know you're wrong) 
Tryin to run them games on me 
(And you know you're wrong) 
Tryin to put them chains on me 
(I need you gone gone gone gone gone) 
I need you gone gone- I need you gone 
Now for the record I am not afraid 
I'm not afraid, not afraid, no 
And now you have to be on your way 
And when you go(And when you go please stay away) 

(Get out my house) 
I don't ever want to have to see your face round here no more 
(Get out my house, out my house, out my house) 
(You need to get out my house) 
I don't ever want to have to see you come around here no more 
(Get out my house, out my house, out my house) 

I need you gone gone gone gone gone 

I just really need you gone gone gone gone 
So now I have to tell you so long 
It was all wrong and what I don't want 
Is you to ever come back, cause I'm 
Not in the mood to negotiate, I know 
God is for me and I'm not afraid 
Gone gone. . .gone gone 
And when you go, And when you go please stay away 

(Get out my house) 
I don't ever want to have to see your face round here no more 
(Get out my house, out my house, out my house) 
(You need to get out my house) 
I don't ever want to have to see you come around here no more 
(Get out my house, out my house, out my house)

It seems to be no way out 
Just look above and deep inside 
You can survive

::Fill My Cup

Fill my cup, Lord 
I lift it up, Lord 
Come and quench this thirsting in my soul 

Bread from Heaven, 
Feed me till I want no more 

Fill my cup 
Fill it up 
And make me Whole

::It Wasn't Easy

Don't think for a moment 
I never felt the pain 
You can't imagine 
the hurt and the shame 
They put the nails through my hands 
Pierced my side please understand 
It wasn't easy 
But it was worth it 

It wasn't easy 

I didn't have to do it 
But I did it anyway 
Cuz I really love you 
So much I took your place 
I died for your sins 
Yes, I'm the one 
Don't take it lightly what I've done 

It wasn't easy 
But it was worth it 

It wasn't easy... 

I left my throne 
My purpose was the cross 
Shed innocent blood I paid the cost

::Alabaster Box

The room grew still 
As she made her way to Jesus 
She stumbles through the tears 
That made her blind 
She felt such pain 
Some spoke in anger 
Heard folks whisper 
"There's no place here for her kind." 
Still on she came 
Through the shame that flushed her face 
Until at last she knelt before HIS feet 
And though she spoke no words 
Everything she said was heard 
As she poured her love for the MASTER 
From her box of Alabaster 

And I've to come to pour 
My praise on HIM like oil 
From Mary's Alabaster Box 
Don't be angry if I wash HIS feet with my tears 
And I dry them with my hair 
You weren't there the night HE found me 
You did not feel what I felt 
When HE wrapped HIS love all around me 
And you don't know the cost 
Of the oil in my Alabaster Box 

I can't forget the way life used to be 
I was a prisoner to the sin that had me bound 
And I spent my days 
Poured my life without measure 
Into a little treasure box I thought I found 
Until the day when JESUS came to me 
And healed my soul with the wonder 
Of HIS touch 

So now I'm giving back to HIM all the praise HE's worthy of 
I've been forgiven and that's why I love HIM so much

::One And the Same

How shall I begin 
To speak about a God that I will never comprehend 
So High and Mighty 
And yet closer than a friend 
The beginning and the end 
The mystery of his Holiness 
The wonders of His humanness are 

Chorus

One,one and the same 
I can't do Him Justice with anyone name 
The Holy God of Heaven 
And the humble Man who bore my shame 
Are one, one and the same 

I scarcely understand 
How a simple servant can be called the great I Am 
How the Son of God 
Is still the Son of man 

Both the Shepherd and the Lamb 
The healer and the Wounded One 
The Father and the only Son are 

(Chorus) 

The way that we can come to know 
The truth that sets us free 
The Life that died and rose again 
Love revealed 

Chorus

(extra lyrics) 
Prince of Peace 
Wonderful ! 
First and the Last 

Oh, Holy Ghost 
Hallelujah 
Heaven 
Hallelujah 
And the Humble man who bore my shame 
Are one, one and the same 
Are one 
One and the same

::Blessed, Broken and Given

Two men walked on the road to Emmaus 
Blind to a stranger they met on the way 
Late in the evening, they asked him to supper 
To break bread together at the close of the day 
The stranger took the bread and bowed his head 
Then asked for a blessing then he broke it 
Into pieces of three 
He gave to these blind men this bread 
Blessed and broken 
And suddenly their blinded eyes did see 

His life was blessed far more than I could ever imagine 
He was touched by God's grace more than I'll ever know 
Then he was broken by the hands of the father 
To bring sight to all blind men who were lost on their way 
After God blessed him and after God broke him 
He was given to bring sight to all men 
When he was blessed 
When he was broken 
and after he was given 
God blessed him and broke him again and again 


My life is blessed far more than I could ever imagine 
I've been touched by God's grace more than I'll ever know 
So let me be given to the hands of the father 
Let me feel, what you felt, when you were broken for me 

After my blessing, and after my breaking 
Let me be given to bring sight to all men 
When I've been blessed 
When I've been broken 
then after I've been given 
Lord bless me and break me again and again 
Lord bless me and break me again and again
