1.
Before the world began, You were there Breath entered into man, You were there As light became the dawn, You were there And earth became a song A people crying out, You were there A pillar and a cloud, You were there To set the prisoners free, You were there Parting waters of the sea Brilliant, You are God, Creator of all things Shining like the sun Reflect in me Glorify Your name, Jesus I cannot look away We are calling out, You are here Letting go of doubt, You are here For the fire and the rain, You are here Shake all that remains
2.
Ground’s been dry an age Desert blooms are waiting My bones weary laden Wandering in vain Road’s been hard to see Morning hasn’t broken Lost in journey mired Youthful hearts grow tired But my soul thirsts and my soul sings Satisfied under Your wings I have tasted I have seen Your great love has captured me Your great love has shattered me I’ve been long divided World worn to the bone Passion’s flame’s been lost My compromises cost Make me Yours, make me Yours Make me Yours, make me Yours I am Yours, ever, only I am Yours, always, holy I am Yours, hold and break me I am Yours, take and send me
3.
Jesus, You alone can heal My hope, my rock, and shield Jesus, You alone can save My love, my light and way Your Kingdom come, today I have touched Your cloak Grasped the hem in hope Trusting You would know I have called Your name ‘Mercy, Son of David’ Hoping You would hear I have run to You My brother in a tomb Knowing You were good I have touched Your hands The wounds that conquered death Believing once again Let faith rise, mountains move Kingdoms shake, darkness break Let healing flow, today we cry Hear the shout, oh God arise!

Teach Me 05:07
Teach me how to love Teach me how to pray Teach me how to give myself away Teach me how to live Teach me how to die Teach me how to find in You my life I’m laying down, I’m letting go At the foot of the cross I’m giving up, giving you control At the foot of the cross Teach me how to burn Teach me how to shine Teach me how to change water into wine Teach me how to trust Teach me how to see Teach me how to hear Your voice in me As it is, in heaven Let it be in me, in me
5.
When the night is dark Enemies press hard Should your courage fail I am your God When the storm is loud And the breakers roar Should your heart afraid I am your God Run to me, run to me, Run to me, I am your God I have never failed Never let you fall Should you doubt, my love I am your God I am your Strength, I am your Rock, I am your Saviour, I am your God I am your Light, I am your Song, I am the Morning, I am your God
6.
Blow 05:40
Spirit of God, I confess I have tried to deceive, I have quenched, I have grieved Spirit of Truth, change my heart Bring me to grief and grace Repentance and faith Blow into me Like the wind blows the trees Crash over me Like the waves from the sea Spirit of Life, I confess I have tried to exist On my talents and gifts Spirit of Power, demonstrate Come and transform me now, Only You know how Blow into me Like the wind blows the trees Crash over me Like the waves from the sea Burn every part Like the lover burns the heart Spirit of the Living God Fall on me Spirit of Wisdom, course correct Come in and light my way, illuminate
7.
Ravish Me 03:40
There are days, I find the light That once burned bright, seems dim And I wait for dawn to break Bringing mercies for each day And then You come and darkness fades In the light of streaming grace And You come like summer rain Bringing hope, breaking chains Ravish me, Holy Trinity Bend Your force to break My battered heart and make it new There are days, I think too small Afraid to move or dream at all And I’m torn with who I am and who I know You are Capture me so I’ll be free Burn and breathe and shine Your endless love to find me here
8.
Broken Bread 04:32
I am coming to the cross with all my shame all my loss I carry my unanswered questions, wounds this weary world has wrought At the cross, at the cross There’s broken bread for broken lives Your body crushed to bring me life I drink the cup, the wine, the blood, Your death has done what I could not I am coming to the cross where mercy triumphed, darkness lost, where justice fell in drops of blood and sin stained hearts cleansed in the flood There’s broken bread for broken lives Your body crushed to bring me life I drink the cup, the wine, the blood, You are good, You are enough
9.
To my soul, why cast down? To my soul, soul I sing, To my soul, to my soul, this I sing: Praise the King, the Name of names And hope again Lift your gaze, to His face To His face, oh my soul Awaken now, rise with me, Oh my soul, you’re redeemed And set free, deep to deep Rise and sing
10.
Psalm 61 03:52
Lead me, oh lead me, to the rock, to You It’s higher, it’s higher, it’s higher than I Hear my cry, listen to my prayer I call to You, my heart is faint You have been a tower, My refuge from the foe My refuge from the foe Hear my cry, listen to my prayer I have longed to dwell in Your house To shelter in Your wings, With those who fear Your name With those who fear Your name I will ever sing (Praise to Your name) Day after day (I’ll follow in Your ways)
11.
I’m laying down all my burdens All the love I’ve tried to earn At Your feet, at Your feet I’m laying down all my fears Dreams held ransom through the years At Your feet, at Your feet There is a love, oceans wide There is a grace, strength for the night There is a yoke, easy and light And a Kingdom coming soon, It’s Your Kingdom breaking through I’m laying down all my pain Words unspoken in my shame At Your feet, at Your feet I’m laying down all my pride My want of glory in man’s eyes At Your feet, at Your feet
12.
Thine is the Kingdom, the Power, the Glory Thine is the Kingdom, the Power, the Glory Forever, forever, amen Hell does not prevail, Darkness does not win Saints rise up in faith We have won, we have won Heaven’s reign endures At the cross made sure We will overcome By our words and by His blood Clouds anticipate The coming of the King Saints stand without shame In victory, in victory
