Point Of Grace

"Any Way"

"Any Way"


Setting out, what a child, my steps ahead of my mind
Not a doubt till You knocked me off my paradigm
Simple me, only trying to see You in the stained glass
I walked right past the unexpected

Anyway You wanna show me all Your glory
Anywhere You choose to speak, tell Your story
In the low or lofty places strangers faces
Anywhere, any way

Doubt that I would have found You there in Bethlehem
No surprise, You changed the world through fishermen
Good to know You would go so far to finally get through
That's just like You and so unlike me

Anyway You wanna show me all Your glory
Anywhere You choose to speak, tell Your story
In the low or lofty places strangers faces
Anywhere, any way

In the alley, on the rooftop
At the end of a rocky road, You don't stop
On a mountain, in a rainstorm
In the eyes of a mother with her newborn

In the back pew, at the Altar
At the well where You gave the woman water
In the chaos, in the holy, in the darkness
Anywhere a heart beats, anywhere a heart beats

Anyway You wanna show me all Your glory
Anywhere You choose to speak, tell Your story
In the low or lofty places strangers faces
Anywhere, any way

Anyway You wanna show me all Your glory
Anywhere You choose to speak, tell Your story
In the low or lofty places strangers faces
Anywhere, any way, any way

"Because You Are"

"Because You Are"


Infinite, Deity, humbly enframed
In a mortal and breakable body You came
To rescue our souls from the depths they were in
Because of, in spite of, to cover my sin
Master and servant together in one
Come to redeem what our hearts had undone
Savior of all come to gather His kin
Because of, in spite of, to cover my sin
Holy, unbreakable, infinite God
Ever unchanging in all that You are
Light of the world and the sun and the stars
You are I am and I am because You are
Shepherd and pastor to wandering sheep
Gave up His life so our own we could keep
Soldier in battle for souls He might win
Because of, in spite of, to cover my sin
Holy, unbreakable, infinite God
Ever unchanging in all that You are
Light of the world and the sun and the stars
You are I am and I am because You are
Humbly forsaking His Heavenly seat
Beaten and bloodied and washing my feet
Opened our eyes to what love really means
The blood on my hands is what washes me clean
Holy, unbreakable, infinite God
Ever unchanging in all that You are
Light of the world and the sun and the stars
You are I am and I am because You are

"Before The Throne Of Grace"

"Before The Throne Of Grace"


Before the throne of grace I come
Humble and repentant one
With sorrow for the deeds I've done
Before the throne of grace I come
Before the throne of grace I fall
With a trembling voice I call
For pardon from the Lord of all
Before the throne of grace I fall
I love the Lamb Who took my sin
Whose Mercy makes me clean again
Before the throne of grace I hear
Your debt is paid your name is clear
Such precious words of life so dear
Before the throne of grace I hear
I love the Lamb Who took my sin
Whose Mercy makes me clean again
I rise with words of grateful praise
Knowing now the only way
Before the throne of grace I stand
Is all because the Son of Man
Bears my wounds in His Feet and Hands
So before the throne of grace I stand
Before the throne of grace I stand
Before the throne of grace I stand

"Begin With Me"

"Begin With Me"


Lord I know sometimes you look down and shake your head,
When we know what we should do, and do the other thing instead.
We're livin in glass houses and we're throwin sticks and stones,
But the love that will come to us is the love that we have shown.
Ignite a fire in my spirit,
And when I wanna make a difference this will be my prayer.

[Chorus]
Begin with me,
Turn my world upside down,
Come change my heart around,
Lord keep on washin me clean again.
Begin with me,
Come and renew my mind,
And lead me to the light,
Till I am more like you Jesus.

Have you ever noticed that we love to give advice,
We offer up suggestions without thinkin twice.
Got twenty-twenty vision when we're watchin someone else,
But it's a little blurry when we're lookin at ourselves.
I can't forget to check the mirror,
that's when I'll find the only one that he wants me to change.

[Chorus x5]

"Better Days"

"Better Days"


[VERSE 1]
It's a heart attack a minute
In this life down here on earth
We're all stranded right here in it
Wonderin what it's worth
There are always threads of trouble
In this tangled web we weave
But tomorrow may just be ok
See here's what I believe

[CHORUS]
Better days are on the way my friend
Just a ways on down the line
I believe that just around the bend
Everything's gonna be fine
Better days are just a dream right now
It's like all you do is pray
But the world keeps turning
Bringing us better days

[VERSE 2]
Well the storms won't stop decending
And the rain won't cease to fall
And there ain't no use pretending
Cause it's bound to find us all
Well it's easy to get hopeless
And drive yourself insane
But before you stop
And set up shop
In the middle of the pain

[CHORUS]
Better days are on the way my friend
Just a ways on down the line
I believe that just around the bend
Everything's gonna be fine
Better days are just a dream right now
It's like all you do is pray
But the world keeps turning
Bringing us better days

[BRIDGE]
I know you've heard all the platitudes
About attitudes
And positive thinking
But time just keeps marching on
So just hold on
This too will pass
I know you'll see your face
In a smile again

[CHORUS]
Better days are on the way my friend
Just a ways on down the line
I believe that just around the bend
Everything's gonna be fine
Better days are just a dream right now
It's like all you do is pray
But the world keeps turning
Bringing us.....

[CHORUS]
Better days are on the way my friend
Just a ways on down the line
I believe that just around the bend
Everything's gonna be fine
Better days are just a dream right now
It's like all you do is pray
But the world keeps turning
Bringing us better days

[CHORUS]
Better days, better days
I believe that just around the bend
Everything's gonna be fine
Better days are just a dream right now
It's like all you do is pray
But the world keeps turning
Bringing us........

I believe in better days.........

"Blue Skies"

"Blue Skies"


[Verse 1]
On days of gray
When doubt clouds my view
Its so hard to see past my fears
My strength seems to fade
And its all I can do
To hold on, till the light reappears.
Still, I believe though some rain's bound to fall
That you're here next to me
And you're over it all.
[Chorus]
Lord, the sky's still blue
For my hope is in you
You're my joy, You're the dream thats still alive
Like the wind at my back
And the sun on my face
You are life,You're grace.
You are blue skies, You're my blue skies
[Verse 2]
When nights are long
Seems the dark has no end
Still we walk on in the light of the truth
For waiting beyond, where the morning begins
Is the dawn, and your mercy anew.
Oh, to believe we're alive in your love
There is so much to see, if we keep looking up.
[Chorus]
You filled the heavens with hope and a higher love
A picture of promise for life.
[Chorus]

"Breath Of Heaven (Mary's Song)"

"Breath Of Heaven (Mary's Song)"


I have traveled
Many moonless nights
Cold and weary
With a babe inside
And I wonder
What I've done
Holy father
You have come
Chosen me now
To carry your son

I am waiting
In a silent prayer
I am frightened
By the load I bear
In a world as cold as stone
Must I walk this path alone
Be with me now
Be with me now

[Chorus]
Breath of heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven

Breath of heaven
Light in my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For your holy breath of heaven

Do you wonder
As you watch my face
If a wiser one
Should have had my place
But I offer all I am
For the mercy of your plan
Help me be strong
Help me be
Help me

[Chorus]

"Broken Thing"

"Broken Thing"


I tried to walk quickly past the water's edge
Didn't wanna see my own reflection
But I just stepped off the highest ledge
And fell into the sea of imperfection
And just like every other time before
I washed up in pieces on the shore
But you found beauty in this broken thing
Made angels dance with wounded wings
I can't imagine anything more beautiful
You took the damaged part of me
Restored what little dignity was left inside
This broken thing
Yeah, I was wading in deep despair
Wandering with no sense of direction
Thinking prayers just vanished in the air
'Cause I got myself in this situation
And just like every other time before
You made the pieces into so much more
You found beauty in this broken thing
Made angels dance with wounded wings
I can't imagine anything more beautiful
You took the damaged part of me
Restored what little dignity was left inside
This broken thing
I know I'm not worthy of this
Never ending perfect love
You found beauty in this broken thing
And I can't imagine anything more beautiful
You found beauty in this broken thing
Made angels dance with wounded wings
I can't imagine anything more beautiful
You took the damaged part of me
Restored what little dignity was left inside
Was left inside this broken thing
I know I'm not worthy of this
Never ending perfect love
I can't imagine anything more beautiful
You found beauty in this broken thing
This broken thing
I know I'm not worthy of this love

"By Heart"

"By Heart"


Your shining light
Has changed my life
It's like I've found my way home
I know You're near
Hear you loud and clear
I could live on this feeling alone
Everywhere I go You are right there beside
Anytime of night or day
Your name is on my lips
Your love I can't resist
Got to be with You wherever You are
I want You memorized
So when I close my eyes
All I have to do, is keep loving you
By heart
I don't have to see
See You to believe
That You're not going away
I know You'll be
Watching over me
You're the shelter that's keeping me safe
I know your arms they can reach out to hold me
Even when I'm feeling alone
[Chorus]
(comes naturally)
Like every breath I breath
(don't have to think)
It's second nature to me
I close my eyes
And You are there with me
You know me
You see me
You hear me
You heal me
[Chorus]

"Candy Cane Lane"

"Candy Cane Lane"


Just a hint of peppermint and every single thing begins to feel like Christmas
And just like the snowflakes, no two are ever the same

Red and white and candy striped in every shape and size, oh what a sweet treat this is
So hop on the choo choo and woo woo to Candy Cane Lane

You'll be all aglow from your head to mistletoes, oh
There's no road that could ever smell as sweet or look as good enough to eat
There's nothin' like a city block of hangin' lights, where I
Just wanta curl up by the fire for a couple cups of cider and
Roast all those marshmallows

They're hung up in the trees in line, the bulbs all fill the street just like a scene from a snow globe
So baby, let's go take a stroll down to Candy Cane Lane

You'll be all aglow from your head to mistletoes, oh
There's no road that could ever smell as sweet or look as good enough to eat
There's nothin' like a city block of hangin' lights, where I
Just wanta curl up by the fire for a couple cups of cider and
Roast all those marshmallows

Add a pinch of cinnamon and suddenly the world begins to taste like December
And you'll always remember comin' down to Candy Cane Lane ...
Just a couple licks from the minty sugar stick and everything turns wintergreen
On Candy Cane Lane, one block from Gum Drop Street
