"Hello Fear"

"Hello Fear"


Hello Fear
Before you sit down there's something I need to explain
Since you're here
I think I should tell you since we last talked things have changed
See I'm tired of being broken-hearted
So I made a list and you're on it
All my hopes and my dreams You took from me
I want those back before you leave

Hello Fear
I knew I would see you, You have a hard time letting go
See these tears,Take a good look cuz, soon they wont fall anymore
God's healing my hurful places
That seat that was yours now is taken
I'm no longer afraid,See I'm better this way
And one more thing before you leave

[Chorus]
Never again will I love you
My heart it refuses to be your home
No longer your prisoner
Today I remember
Apart from you is where I belong

And never again will I trust you
I'm tired of fighting it's been way too long
No longer your prisoner
Today I remember
Who I was and now it's gone
They're gone
Hello Fear
Da da da da da, da da da da da

Farewell Goodbye So long [3X]

Hello Grace
It feels like forever, I thought my chance with you was gone
See your face, it reminds me of mercy
And please let me say I was wrong
Never knew your touch was endless
How you never run dry of forgiveness
Didn't know how bad it was, was afraid just because
Sorry fear, grace took your place

[Chorus]

Farewell Goodbye So long [8X]

Hello Fear
Before you sit down there's something I need to explain

"Help Me Believe"

"Help Me Believe"


[Intro]
I just want to write you a letter I got to very honest but um I really don't know how to say this

[Verse I]
I wanna believe
But I'm having a hard time seeing past what I see right now
I see right now I wanna be free
But when I try to fly I realize I don't know how
No one one showed me how
Wish I could see
That this mess I'm in will really work out for my good
You said it would
So if You can hear me
Can You give me a sign
'Cause I don't feel You like I should
Please if You could
My faith is almost gone
I can't hold on much longer
Take this cup from me

[Chorus]
Help me believe
Can I believe
Let me believe
I wanna believe
I'm no good on my own
Please give me another chance
It's hard to believe
In what I can't see
To give You my will
'Cause Your will is better for me
You can look in my eyes and see
I wanna believe
Believe [3x]

[Verse II]
I wanna believe
If I never hear I'm sorry I can let it go
Gotta let You go
Cause it's killing me
Jesus, You know how it feels 'cause You've been hurt before
Don't wanna hurt no more
I'm trying to hear You speak
But my heart is growing weaker
Take this cup from me

[Chorus II]
Help me believe
Can I believe
Let me believe
I wanna believe
I've been here before and I cant take that hurt again
But it's hard to believe
In what i can't see
To give You my will cause Your will is better for me
You can look in my eyes and see
I wanna believe
Believe [6x]

[Verse III]
I wanna believe
When I close my eyes on this side
I'll wake up with You
More in love with You
And finally you will say my race it is over
And my work is through
'Cause I believed in You
I know dark nights will come
And somedays there will be no sunshine
And You's too far to see

[Repeat Chorus]

[Believe 32x]

"Hero"

"Hero"


The heavens were silent
The earth weeped in pain
Nations were trembling and hope never came
A Terror filled the air
And it wouldn't go away
We needed a hero to come and save

Famine and hunger,
Disease in the land
The hatred the killing taking lives from your hand
Creation waits through the darkness we pray
Tell me where is the hero to come and save

Through the nails
Through the thorns
From the hill to the grave
Was a voice in the distance the lamb that was slain
My soul had no song and my debt I couldn't pay
When I needed a hero you came and you saved

To the homeless
The widow
The fatherless son
To the sick and the broken alone with no one
Lift up you head your hope is on the way
When we needed a hero you came and you saved the day

[Bridge:]
When the curtain had closed
And it felt like the end
When your blood caught the fall and took away every sin
Even though men deny
You're the only sacrifice
That loved us enough you loved us so much Lord
That you gave your life see you saved my life

Now I can see you I'm no longer ashamed
Your power I feel see our lives have exchanged
Every wrong is erased, Jesus
You are my hero you came and you saved the day

[Bridge:]
When the curtain had closed
And it felt like the end
When your blood caught the fall and took away every sin
Even though men deny
You're the only sacrifice
That loved us enough you love us so much Lord
That you gave your life see you saved my life

Now I can see you I'm no longer ashamed
Your power I feel see our lives have exchanged
Every wrong is erased, Jesus
You are my hero you came and you saved [x2]
You are my hero you came and saved The day

[Vamp:]
You saved you saved the day [repeat]

you are my hero you came and you saved the day

"Hide Me"

"Hide Me"


[Verse I]
I know You see us, I know You hear us when we pray
You understand us, see deep inside us, translate tears then take 'em away
I'm a be honest, there are times, Your ways and methods, I don't understand
YOu see so far, tell me who You are, I know Your touch, but can't see You plan
I'm lost in the thing called life, left to me now feels right
It's Your turn now, I wanna be where You are

[Chorus]
Hide me
Let me live behind You
Cause I need
Shelter from the rain
Remind me
The only my faith can grow is when You let Your winds blow
You're making me stronger now so
Rain don't go away
Don't go away

[Verse II]
I admit, it'd be nice to have some light shine down on me
Especially when what I shall be You don't always let me see
It ain't easy but I'm trying hard to get out Your way
To believe in what You say, that my change begins today
The road include some pain and to grow you need some rain and when it falls I wanna be where you are

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
'Cause there's so much I see needs to grow inside of me
In the fire I realized before I lived I had to die
Please believe me when i say I can't waste anotyhe day
It's so easy to complain, but complain don't make it change
Not the victim anymore, all the things God has in store
If I ain't ready don't let the rain go away
Don't go away

[Chorus]

[Vamp]
You're making me stronger now 7x
You made me stronger now 3x
He made me stronger now
She made me stronger now
They made me stronger now
You made me stronger now 8x

"Hold Me Now"

"Hold Me Now"



The spring of April is gone
The leaves have all turned brown
The children have all grown up
And there's no one around
I'm looking over my life and all the mistakes I made
And I'm afraid
Afraid
Somebody told me that You would wash all my sins
And cleanse me from the scars that are so deep within
So I'm calling to You
If you can hear me
I don't know how
I was wondering can you hold me now
You are the only one that's patient when I fall
Your angels come to save me every time I call
You don't laugh at me when I make mistakes and cry
You're not like man
You understand me
See people change one day
They don't like you the next they do
I wish that everyone could love me just like You
So here I am this sinful man peace won't allow
I was wondering can you hold me now
I was wondering can you hold me now
To every broken person that may hear this song
To every boy or girl that feels their smile is gone
I know exactly how it feels to lay in the bed at night
And cry
And cry
Don't you worry God is faithful and He cares
About the tears you drop and the pain you feel He there
When you are weak that's when he's strong
Even though you don't know how
God can and he will hold you now
God can and he will hold you now
God can and he will hold you now
Don't you worry he can hold you now

 

[fox69]

"Hosanna"

"Hosanna"


The angels bow down at the thought of You
The darkness gives way to the light for You
The price that you paid gives us life brand New
Hosanna forever we worship You
Hosanna forever we worship You [2x]

For you are the joy that my soul longs for
The lamb that was slain for my sins and the One I adore
King of kings, Ruler of everything
Hosanna forever we worship You
Hosanna forever we worship You [2x]

For your patience and kindness
And favor and mercy
And honor and glory
Because you are worthy
We can't live without You
We can't breathe without You
We can't sing without You
Hosanna Hosanna

No greater love in this world but You
No one can compare to the things You do
Wherever You go I will follow You
Hosanna forever we worship You
Hosanna forever we worship You

Someday every tongue shall confess Your name
This house made of clay soon shall pass away
Whatever the test You will bring us through

Hosanna forever we worship You [4x]

[Vamp]
Hosanna forever
Hosanna forever and ever and ever
Hosanna
We praise You
Hosanna forever and ever and ever

Hosanna forever
Hosanna forever and ever and ever
Hosanna forever
Hosanna forever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever and ever
Hosanna forever

"How It Used To Be"

"How It Used To Be"


[Verse I]
I ain't gonna lie
I can't even count the days
Or the many nights I tried living here alone
A heart full of pride
And couldn't see the enemy was me
I was blind and thought my second chance was gone

[Verse II]
A ship without a sail
Battered by a ranging sea
Taking any love I can to try and stop the pain
while waiting to exhale
I finally got on my knees
I know it's been a long time; do You still remember my name?

[B Section]
Can I go back in time?
Can I have another try?
But I can't change yesterday

[Chorus]
Oh, I can't take another day without You
'Cause this heart don't beat the same without
I forgot who was, got caught up in this world
Jesus, I apologized
I should've lost my mind without You
Not another sleepless night without You, Jesus
I'm sorry and I'm asking please make us how we used to be

[Verse III]
I try and try too keep my mind on You trouble keep calling me
Every time a wound heals, something else take the healing away
And even when I've gone too far, You knew there would come a day
Momma said what you love let it go and if it comes back, then it's back to say
You already knew i belong to only You
I run to Your arms and say

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Never knew a life so cold
I thought that things could fulfill my soul
Tried to find love on my own
It was hard to admit I was wrong
No money, no cars, no fame, no lies, no games, my life please take it

[Breakdown]
Now it comes to the break (hey)
Tell what you gon' say, you go say (I know I know)
I'll get my life right but (you know) you ain't promised tonight
Baby girl (Without You) [2X]

[Chorus 2x]

 

[fox69]

"I Am"

"I Am"


To the nobodies, to the abandoned
Who couldn't see in the pain was a plan
Looking back now Lord I can say thank you
Now let me tell you who I am

How do you do?
I am a sinner
Born into sin and shaped in iniquity
Now I believe not who I was but still not what I shall be
You found me and gave me your name and
Things I desired have changed but
Inside you'll see it's still broken pieces
Deep in me reaches for you (hello)

How do you do?
I am a beggar (that means I'm)
Desperate for more
I hunger for your truth
See I am shattered
Though I may fall still you make all things new
You speak, the storm, it obeys and gone is the weight of mistakes and
Though I still feel you continue to heal, look close, and see (whoa)

[Chorus:]
I am so far from perfect
I thought life was worthless
Until you showed me who I am
Not here by mistake
No luck, only grace
I'm on my way to
Who I am (not who I was), I am (forgiven and loved)
I am (healed by your blood), I am (yes)
Thank God I am (still being changed)
I am (help me say), I am

How do you do?
I am a winner (it wasn't easy)
I've lost a few and life's knocked me to my knees
But now I am standing (hallelujah)
Not by my power, but your life inside of me (just like you, I've gone through)
Even through seasons and changes (no tear)
No tear has ever been wasted
Misunderstood still it worked for my good
look now and see
I am not the old me but still
(I am not the old me but still)

[Chorus:]
I am (I am) so far from perfect
I thought life was worthless
Until you showed me who I am (don't forget you're)
Not here by mistake (yes)
No luck, only grace
I'm on my way to
Who I am (now called your son), I am (forgiven for what I've done)
I am (forgiven for what I've done), I am (yes)
Thank God I am (sealed by your grace)
I am (still here, help me say), I am

[Bridge:]
Here and I'm closer, praise now is stronger
Stood up to fear, by faith I'm still here
Couldn't walk away, love said not today
Times haven't seen what God has for me
The hurt and the lies, through the pain, through the night
Cried and I cried but still I survived

[Chorus:]
I am so far from perfect
I thought life was worthless (yes God)
Until you showed me who I am (I am)
Not here by mistake
No luck, only grace
I'm on my way to
Who I am (and all of you), I am (I'm in love with you)
I am (here to worship you), I am (Jesus)
Thank God I am (ready to be closer)
I am (ready to go higher), I am

[Chorus:]
I am so far from perfect (so far)
I thought life was worthless (yes)
Until you showed me who I am (but you showed me)
Not here by mistake (thank you)
No luck, only grace (thank you)
I'm on my way to
Who I am (I'm not ashamed), I am (look, I'm not the same)
I am (I'm letting go of the pain), I am (yes Lord)
Thank God I am (more than what you see)
I am (not yet what I shall be), I am

Thank you
You didn't give up on me while I was still in the process
Hallelujah God that you could see what I couldn't see
Thank you

"I Am God"
(feat. TobyMac)

"I Am God"
(feat. TobyMac)



[Kirk Franklin:] Toby Mac! (huh!) Turn it up!
[Toby Mac:] Kirk, gonna get his white boy on!
[Kirk Franklin:] God, I know You up to something.
(uhhh!) I can see it all right now.
(woo!) You pulling back my covers.
It's getting crazy. (Come on!)

[Verse 1: Kirk Franklin]
Think I'm gonna walk away
You're messing up my life today (wassup)
This time I refuse to pray
Still you keep calling me (calling me)
I don't wanna see your face
The thing I love you erased (Come on!)
Nothing but an empty space
Now I don't know how to be
I know it wasn't right for me. (Yea!)
What you liking what you need.
I feel like I'm in surgery
Still you cut deeper

My secrets within
My blanket of sin
Lord how much longer 'till ya through with me
Please take what you need (Can I get up now!)

[Chorus:]
Be still and know I am God
Be still and know I am God

[Verse 2: Toby Mac]
Loving you Lord is my way
Everything you don't explain
Somethings I don't want to change
So you keep breaking me (There you go!)
It's like I'm fighting for my life (woo!)
You hit me with another light
I feel like Jacob in the night
Won't stop 'till you bless me

My flesh and my will (Yes father!)
Is yours not to kill (To kill!)
Bringing myself to you (Come on!)
But living sacrifice is more (Can I get up now)

[Chorus:]
Be still and know I am God (Gotta know Gotta know Gotta know Gotta know)
Be still and know (yea) I am God (Gotta know Gotta know One more time!)
Be still and know I am God (You are God! You are God! Gotta know! Gotta know!)
Be still (Be still) and know (and know) I am God (yea!)

[Bridge:]
If I could I'd fly away from here
But even when I'm far you still are near
I gotta get out (There's no way out)
Where is there to run (There's no where to run)
Don't go (Don't go)
Don't go (Can't go)
No! No! No! (Whoa!)

[Kirk Franklin:]
You win. (uh huh!)
I've been trying to do it on my own. (Yes Lord!)
But right now I gotta surrender.
You know what's best. (Say it like you mean it!)
It's not easy waiting on you.
It's not easy believing that you got this together.
But without faith it is impossible to please you. (We recognize you!)
So I'm gonna stand right here. (We are still before you!)
You got me. (We are still before you!) You got me. You got me.

[Chorus:]
Be still and know (we know!) I am God (We gonna lift those hands. I surrender to your authority God! I surrender!)
Be still (we're still!) and know (we know!) I am God (I give you my will) (Gotta know! Gotta! know! Gotta know!)
Be still (I'm yours!) and know (we know!) (I'm yours!) I am God (I'm tired of living on my own! I'm tired of living on my own!)
Be still and know (we know!) I am God (You are God!)

"I Can"

"I Can"



I want to be totally committed to You, Jesus

Look into my heart and you will see pieces of a broken man
Behind the music, there's an empty space
That no one seems to understand
Imagine how it feels to be so down, you cannot hear a melody
Imagine how it feels to look in the mirror and never like what you see
Help me Jesus, say

Who can make my dark clouds bright?
Who can take my broken spirit high?
Who can love me like I really need to be loved?
I can hear a quiet voice say, "I can"
