love  

something that they can call their own
wishing, hoping, waiting for empty skieds to open up
but they don”t
what’’s up with all the obsession
what’’s in and what’’s out
that’’s what it’’s about
still we dream of better
fearing nothing’’s gonna ever be right, yeah
all along, don”t you know that you can”t break free
take a look and see what’’s your reality
Chorus:
upside down, spining round and round
happiness may not be what it seems
inside out, alone whithout a doubt
is your heart until he sats you free
from all of this reality
oh, you know the world is so crazy
it”ll chew you up, spit you out
leave you feeling empty inside
filling your head with little white lies
Jesus is the only reason that my heart is free to say
you could dream a thousand dreams and have a million things
but nothing could replace the love that jesus gave
talk shows, ecstasy, horoscopes, dvd’’s, pop culture, magazines, chat rooms, MTV
protein diets, internet, the story isn”t over yet, the psychic network really cares?
WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE?!!!!
Chorus

hold on, something’’s bound to break
falling down, running from the promised land
midnight, and i”m still awake
don”t feel right, haven”t slept for days
i”m so tired my thoughts are getting weak
and i”m wired, can i get some peace?
(chorus)
suddenly you are here with me
finding a reason to believe
i know you”ll be here to the end of time
and when the night falls all around
my frightened heart the only sound
i know you”ll be here to the end of time
maybe it was my mistakes
that kept on pulling me away
i was still living yesterday
the message that i want to relay
without Him, there’’s no other way
so don”t try to make it on your own
when you”re lost, He will lead you home
(chorus)
can”t imagine life without your hand in mine
i can”t believe i”ve lived this long without you
i know that You will find a purpose for my life
beyond my wildest dreams, beyond what i can see
(chorusx2)
suddenly you”re here and i”m not alone anymore
when the night falls ”round, i am not alone anymore

Does anybody know how I feel?
Sometime’’s I”m numb, sometime’’s I”m overcome
Does anybody care what’’s going on?
Do I have to wear my scars like a badge on my arm?

(pre-chorus)
For you to see me
I need release

[chorus]
Do I have to scream for you to hear me?
Do I have to bleed for you to see me?
”Cause I grieve, you”re not listening to me
Do I need to scream?

[verse 2]
Has anybody seen what’’s been done?
Where was my defense? No one heard my protest
The eyes of God were watching me
It’’s time to make my peace, let it go and be released
(
pre-chorus)
So I can breathe again
I”m on my knees

[chorus] 2x
Do I have to scream for you to hear me?
Do I have to bleed for you to see me?
”Cause I grieve, you”re not listening to me

[bridge]
I”ve been marked, set apart
But I”m cut so deep and afraid of the dark
One drop of blood from the hole in Your hand
Is enough to heal me and make me stand

(pre-chorus)
”Cause I”m clean, He is listening to me

[chorus]
I don”t have to scream for Him to hear me
Don”t have to bleed for Him to see me
”Cause I”m clean, He is listening to me

I don”t have to scream
I don”t have to bleed
”Cause I”m clean, He is listening
And I don”t have to scream

She didn”t know who her father was
She met a boy and her heart he stole
So she gave him all her body and soul

She’’s not ready to face
The outcome of their mistake
It’’s brought her nothing but pain
And she’’s too young for this fate

SHE”S ALONE
CAUGHT UP IN THE UNDERTOW
WHERE IT TAKES HER NO ONE KNOWS
THAT”S HOW IT GOES, THAT”S HOW IT GOES
WHEN WE THROW STONES

People denied and criticized
They sent her away isolated
Caught in a bad dream, her plea rejected
They left her alone and neglected

They put her out on display
Showcasing all her mistakes
She’’s worn out and she’’s afraid
Why does it always happen this way?

[refrain]

She went to them for help
But blindly they cast the first stone
They could have taken her in
Instead they left her on her own
All alone

[refrain]

When we throw stones at the wounded
We throw stones at the brokenhearted
That’’s how it goes when we throw stones

I”m a casualty birth
And so I sink into Your depth
My only place of rest

[refrain]
Where earth and wind and sky and sea
Could never match Your majesty
From where I stand I”m crying out
Jesus, You are life to me

The treachery of valleys deep
Has only made me weak
I clothe this flesh with holiness
My only place of rest

[refrain]
Where earth and wind and sky and sea
Could never match Your majesty
From where I stand I”m crying out
Jesus, You are life to me

And when I see Your face I”ll know
All the pain and tears will go
To the bottom of the sea
You”ll forever be holy, holy
Holy, holy, holy, holy

[refrain]
Where earth and wind and sky and sea
Could never match Your majesty
From where I stand I”m crying out
Jesus, You are life to me

Holy, holy, holy, holy…

When all is fallen
You are life to me
When all is broken
You are life to me
When all is empty
You are life to me, life to me, life to me

When I am fallen
You are life to me
When I am broken
You are life to me
When I am empty
You are life to me, life to me, life to me

Life to me..

Faced the world on your own
No one heard your cries for help
You thought you were all alone
I got a different story to tell you
”Cause I”ve been there before
I know you”ll feel so much but there’’s so much more

(You could wait)
But it may not be tomorrow
(Can you take?)
A minute just to listen and gonna let it go

[chorus]
This is the time
This is the place
This is the love that was given to us by grace
Don”t turn away
Today is the day
Open up your heart ”cause love is waiting waiting

Now I”m not gonna have so many questions
Deep down you”re wondering
But when you”re driven by doubt you question everything
And I won”t let you be so disappointed
But you are not here alone
So let me show you that you don”t have to be on your own anymore

(You could wait)
But it may not be tomorrow
(Can you take?)
A minute just to listen and gonna let it go

[chorus] 2x
This is the time
This is the place
This is the love that was given to us by grace
Don”t turn away
Today is the day
Open up your heart ”cause love is waiting waiting

He’’s waiting He’’s waiting
He’’s reaching up for you and those that are
So patiently waiting
So open up your mid dear open up your heart
He’’s waiting He’’s waiting
All it takes is just a smile
You wanna bring the way a brand new day

[chorus]
This is the time
This is the place
This is the love that was given to us by grace
Don”t turn away
Today is the day
Open up your heart ”cause love is waiting waiting

He’’s waiting, He’’s waiting
So patiently waiting

You know I can”t explain this feeling
It’’s almost like I”m dreaming this reality
You know You give me such a freedom
I finally found the way home
I”m right where I belong
Ever since the day I prayed
You into my heart I placed
Every bit of me into Your hands
Lord, I”m here to stay
With all of my heart
I”m gonna love You
With all of my soul
I”ll put all my trust in You
With all of my strength
I”m standing beside You
With all of my everything
I will worship You, my king
With all of my heart
With all of my heart
Oh, Lord, I can”t define You
Who am I to know You the way I do?
From now until forever
I promise I will never, never let You go
Lord, I want to be the one
After all is said and done
From now til eternity
I”m yours faithfully
With all of my heart
I”m gonna love You
With all of my soul
I”ll put all my trust in You
With all of my strength
I”m standing beside You
With all of my everything
I will worship You, my king
With all of my heart
With all of my heart
Every night when I close my eyes
I am amazed at how You”ve blessed my life in every way
I”m mystified by Your great love
Nothing compares to having You near
Every day I”ll love You more than the day before
With all of my heart
I”m gonna love You
With all of my soul
I”ll put all my trust in You
With all of my strength
I”m standing beside You
With all of my everything
I will worship You, my king
With all of my heart
I”m gonna love You

There’’s a war deep in motion
Fighting hard to find
Some kind of peace of mind

Breathing in, breathing out
Missing life, living doubt
Searching for a cure
Some kind of open door

Bring it back to the beginning
To the first taste of shame
A fallen world in waiting
Only One could take the blame
Fast forward to the ending
One truth remains
There’’s a miracle waiting
For all who speak His name

[refrain]
Take my life, my liberty
It’’s all but a breath in the grand scheme of things
Oh, I have found eternity
It’’s a different kind of free
And they can”t take it from me

Pleading the most worthy cause
For the innocence we lost
With His tears of blood
He started freedom’’s flood
As the world’’s opinion sway
My beliefs will not be changed
Nothing ever can
Take me from His hand

Way back in the beginning
To the first taste of shame
A fallen world in waiting
Only One could take the blame
Fast forward to the ending
One truth remains
There’’s a miracle waiting
For all who speak His name

[refrain]
Take my life, my liberty
It’’s all but a breath in the grand scheme of things
Oh, I have found eternity
It’’s a different kind of free
And they can”t take it from me

[rap]
Yeah – sure I remember
Matter of fact it was just last September
She still calls it the fall to remember
Little Heather when it all came together
Said you remember the first time you met her?
She cried when it rained and blamed the weather
But inside she strained with suicide letters
The kind of cold you couldn”t warm with a sweater
Hardly lasted past December
She said she was headed down to defeat
That’’s the last time you”d seen and never had a dreamed
That’’s the same little Heather – it’’s who you saw last week
In an instant you couldn”t have missed her gleam
As she listened she looked like a distant queen
With a difference, there, for all to see
She found a different – a different kind of free

[refrain] 3x
Take my life, my liberty
It’’s all but a breath in the grand scheme of things
Oh, I have found eternity
It’’s a different kind of free
And they can”t take it from me

It’’s so much different, it’’s a different kind of free
And it’’s here for you and me
It’’s a different kind of free, and it’’s here to set you free
It’’s a different kind of free, oh

Sometimes I feel lost
In a sea of insecurity
That rages inside of me
So terribly caught
And the waves of self-rejection
Make me question my ability

(pre-chorus)
But there’’s a fire that always burns
And there’’s a voice inside
And all it wants is tobe heard

[chorus]
”Cause beyond skin deep
There’’s so much more to see
My hopes, my dreams designed with destiny
I was fashioned with passion
A burning desire to know the One who made me more
He made me more than skin deep
”Cause I am more, I am more than skin deep
So much more

[verse 2]
It’’s so hard to change
When we are captive to ourselves
Always thirsty for something else
But free or enslaved
We are sons, we are daughters
Called out by the Father’’s name

(pre-chorus)
So take the fire and let it burn
Unleash the voice inside
”Cause everyone needs to be heard

[chorus]
Beyond skin deep
There’’s so much more to see
Our hopes, our dreams designed with destiny
We were fashioned with passion
A burning desire to know the One who made us more
He made us more than skin deep
”Cause we are more, we are more than skin deep
So much more

[bridge]
We are more than the future
We are more than the past
We were made to bring glory
Given souls that will last
We are more than our bodies
We are more than the grave
We were brought by His blood
And from ourselves we”ve been saved

[chorus]
Beyond skin deep
There’’s so much more to see
Our hopes, our dreams designed with destiny
We were fashioned with passion
A burning desire to know the One who made us more
He made us more than skin deep
”Cause we are more, we are more than skin deep
So much more

We are more than the future
We are more than the past
We were made to bring glory
Given souls that will last

Living in a shouted dream
Could this be the end for me?
What I wouldn”t give to have
A life to live, a day to plan
Instead I”ll be forever 17

Could of lived out every dream
I could of been most anything

[chorus]
Someone wake me up
I haven”t lived yet, I”m only 17
God did you forget, I”m just a baby
And I don”t want to be
Forever 17

I”ll never have a bed to make
A test to take, a summer day
I”ll always be forever 17
I could of had a family
And clothes that worked out differently
Instead I”ll be forever 17

Could I have just one more day?
Just to learn from my mistakes

[chorus]
Someone wake me up
I haven”t lived yet, I”m only 17
God did you forget, I”m just a baby
And I don”t want to be
Forever 17

In the matter of a moment
Life fell before my eyes
Now I”m looking at the meaning of the fear in one’’s life’),
