1.	Sky 03:28	lyrics	buy track
I asked the sky, looked to the sages Raised my hands into the pages seeking truth inside the ages In searching I found The answer started sound Lay your burden down To praise & sing to bow and bring Devotion to our king To learn & grow to grasp and know The grace that love shows I pity all our selfish hearts Searching for love far apart From Your eye I cannot go Is there a place Love doesn’t know? I asked the sky looked to the sages Raised my hands into the pages searching for truth inside the ages But now my search is turned to song Knowing the darkness is almost gone Glimpses of heaven’s throngs To praise & sing to bow and bring Devotion to our king To learn & grow to grasp and know The grace that love shows
2.	Prayer 05:54	lyrics	buy track
More than any other prayer, my soul longs for your house Gazing at your beauty, Lord to sing your praise More than any other thing I want to see your face To see you as you are Lord to be changed I’d rather sit at the gate of the house of my God than live anywhere in this world Now I dream to sing with the redeemed Your presence equals joy; Your presence equals joy, Your presence equals joy A land filled with milk & honey A land that knows no pain A land without any money Where love reigns Lord sometimes I get lost in this world I get distracted my heart is filled with fear Lord so many times I’ve gone my own way Father please help me give me the hear to say That I’d rather sit at the gate of the house of my God than live anywhere in this world Now I dream to sing with the redeemed Your presence equals joy; Your presence equals joy, Your presence equals joy A land filled with milk & honey A land that knows no pain A land without any money Where love reigns

Ponder anew what God can do Who set up the sea; made you and me But darkness is vast; grief has its grasp We need You to make all things new Between you and me haven’t we seen all the sorrow we can: Lord finish Your plan Wipe the tears from our eyes let there be no more sighs no more goodbyes Ponder anew what God can do Your word brings light in the night You forgive wrong make the weak strong We need You to make all things new On a day like today when it all seems to grey Help me to hear Your voice in my ear Give me a song to bring me along; give me Your song Ponder anew what God can do Never betrays; gently straightens our ways Breaks evil ties gives peace that can’t die We need You to make all things new I’m tired of lies; hearing cries; fear in eyes Ponder anew what God can do, ponder anew
4.	The Way I Want My Love 02:42	lyrics	buy track
This is the way I want my love to be Could we be worthy of that word This is the way I want to be to you Loving more with faith that never fails Might I always be patient always be kind Never angry, selfish, blind My eyes looking without judgment behind This is how our love can be This is how our love can be I am standing here before you now Placing my life into your hands Praying only I might keep this vow In Gods strength I know I can Let my love be unending bearing all things Our lives filled with truth and all that it brings Always striving believing, hoping, enduring, This is how our love can be This is how our love can be This is how our love can be

God of my life a prayer to you ---I’m thirsty for you Awaiting your coming ---Deep calls to deep Your breakers all wash over me—Deep calls to deep In the darkness you’re close enough to breath— Deep calls to deep What’s in this your waterfall --- Deep calls to deep Drifting in your answers --- Deep calls to deep All of the searing and all of the pain seen through eternity doesn’t look the same All of the searing and all of the pain seen through eternity isn’t the same It isn’t the same God of my life a prayer of praise---Deep calls to deep I’ll sing into the night---Deep calls to deep Because you’ve commanded light—Deep calls to deep Your breakers all wash over me—Deep calls to deep You’re close enough to breath – Deep calls to Deep
7.	For All 04:32	lyrics	buy track
Every time a child is turned away Can’t you see the angels shake their heads and say The Father’s sent His Love for them all Love to push the darkness back from the weak and the small I know Your love is bigger than that I know Your grace is wider than that I know that Your love surrounds us all From the high ways and the byways bring my sheep From the east and the west they’re coming to me Fill the house there’s room for all This dinner was never meant to be small They’ve come to have their love blessed by God And are told that they’re not worthy of this sacrament of love Whys judgment so easy to dispense And love so easy to miss I know Your love is bigger than that I know Your grace is wider than that I know that Your love surrounds us all From the highways and the byways bring my sheep From the north and the south they’re coming to me Fill the house there’s room for all This dinner was never meant to be small Every time a child is turned away Can’t you see the angels shake their heads and say Our Fathers Love is bigger than that Our Father grace is wider than that The Fathers love surrounds us all The Fathers love surrounds us all
8.	Changing Look 03:29	lyrics	buy track
Moses stood before the Lord and said show me who you are I am the Lord I am the Lord; Mercy: Graciousness Slow to anger yet justice is met I am the Lord, I am the Lord; Love, Faithfulness A look in Your goodness I’m in awe of your light of something so entirely good Part in your goodness its all that I want to be entirely good Through the power of your love that I would turn in your way May truth live in me that all I am would say your name Is truly all that I want I long for the day when there will be no grey to see the wrong from the right But for the wrong to dissolve in the light I want eternal day Through the power of your love that I would turn in your way May truth live in me that all I am would say your name Is truly all that I want Moses stood before the Lord and said show me who you are

10.	Father's Own 06:21	lyrics	buy track
You are mine, all I am, is yours: You are mine, all I have is yours You are mine, all I am is yours; You are mine all I have is yours. How great, how deep, how long, how wide Is the love of our Father for you and I. Why is love so hard to grasp? Why so hard to ask? How do I fail to see? That just a portion of your power breaks down fears towers To us He sings You are mine, all I am is yours: You are mine, all I have is yours You are mine all, I am is yours; You are mine all I have is yours Rest in the Fathers hand. Trust in His plan. He’s given everything. Just to call us his own He gave up his throne To us He sings. You are mine, all I am is yours: You are mine, all I have is yours You are mine all, I am is yours; You are mine all I have is yours. How great, how deep, how long, how wide Is the love of our Father for you and I.

When I’m about to fall remind me who you are Remind me of your love fill me with your awe Give me a picture of angels standing near Of unseen worlds above me longing for Christ to be real in me Lord remind me of You Remind me remind me of all you’ve brought me through Remind me remind me how easily I forget your love Lord remind me of you Cause you have saved me and you remake me Give me strength so I can know that I could never fall too low When I’m about to fall remind me of your death for me of your name that’s on my brow the sword in my hand Give me a picture of all you love as me And how I can show them your eternity As I live in victory Lord, remind me of you Remind me remind me of all you’ve brought me through Remind me remind me how easily I forget your love Lord remind me of you Cause you have saved me and You remake me Lord help me to know that I could never fall too low Remind me remind me of all you’ve brought me through Remind me remind me how easily I forget your love Lord remind me of you

Sing for the love of your life Sing with all of your heart Sing with all of your soul Sing to be whole In the stillness You take my hand Point me toward another land Show me how to take a stand To be alive To say goodbye To learn to cry and then fly Sing for the love of our lives Sing with all of your mind Sing to raise us high Sing for your life There’s nothing they can take away I’ve laid it all down anyway To rise, we die, day by day To be alive To say goodbye To learn to cry and then fly Sing for the love of your life Sing with all of your heart Sing with all of your soul Sing to be whole In the stillness You take my hand Point me toward another land

Circle around again, in your love I am From your grasp I cannot go, your love too wide to fall below Circle around again in Your grace I am Allow me to be truly free Circle around again closer than You’ve ever been Show me the way that I should go; round & behind the circle goes Circle around again Father help me let you in How more tender could You be? Give me eyes to see Ten thousand thoughts toward me, no even more like the sand on the sea shore, you adore me I wake in the morning you’re here by my side From you I can’t hide; you adore me Circle around again You know every place I’ve been And though I cannot see You’ve always been holding me Circle around again I need you to hold my hand Lord its too much for me to tell how you know us all so well Ten thousand thoughts toward me, no even more like the sand on the sea shore, you adore me I wake in the morning you’re here by my side From you I can’t hide; you adore me Circle around again, In Your love I am Larger than we’ll ever know so far around the circle goes Circle around…circle around… circle around
