Love > Fear
03:16
|

|
When I can’t take the first step
When all I’m holding is my breath
I pray that you are there
When I can’t seem to forget
When I can’t see the morning light yet
I pray that you are there
I pray love is greater than fear.
Love is greater than
Love is greater than
Love is greater than fear
Love is greater than
Love is greater than
Love is greater than fear
When I can’t find another way
When I don’t have the words to say
I pray that you are there
I pray love is greater than fear
Love is greater than
Love is greater than
Love is greater than fear
Love is greater than
Love is greater than
Love is greater than fear

Waiting
04:50
|
|||
|
The earth cries out
Nothing feels right
The world cries out
No justice in sight
Fires burning everywhere
Too many, too hot, too bright
We are waiting for you.
We are waiting for you.
We are waiting for that
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
The child cries out
Don’t turn out the light
Broken hearts cry out
No end of hurt in sight
Greed and guns rule everywhere
Too many, too strong to fight
We are waiting for you.
We are waiting for you.
We are waiting for that
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Let us be a sign of hope
Let us be your arms of love
Let us be the ones that say
there is another way.
We are waiting for you
You are waiting for us too.
We are waiting for that
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
Gloria in excelsis Deo
We are waiting for you
You are waiting for us too.
We are waiting for you
You are waiting for us too.

Extravagant Love
04:23
|
|||
|
Me versus you. Us versus them.
Looks like the only game in town
Be the winner or you’ll lose
Somehow we all end up down.
O God, We look for You
in the ashes of this mess
O God you offer us
Your tenderness
Extravagant mercy
Extravagant grace
Extravagant love
In your embrace
Love that changes us.
Changes the game.
Love that changes everything.
Love changes everything.
Don’t show weakness. Don’t show our hands.
We make our moves. We play our parts.
Don’t ask if this is all there is
Lower our eyes. And close our hearts.
O God, We look for You
in the ashes of this mess
O God you offer us
Your tenderness
Extravagant mercy
Extravagant grace
Extravagant love
In your embrace
Love that changes us.
Changes the game.
Love that changes everything.
Love changes everything.
There is enough
There is enough
There is enough to go around
O God, We look for You
in the ashes of this mess
O God you offer us
Your tenderness
Extravagant mercy
Extravagant grace
Extravagant love
In your embrace
Love that changes us.
Changes the game.
Love that changes everything.
Love changes everything.

Take Comfort
04:39
|
|||
|
There have been days
So many days
When we couldn’t see the sun
When we just wanted to run
There have been years
So many years
When we all we knew was war
Who knows what we’re fighting for
Listen, can you hear the voice?
Saying we have suffered long enough.
Listen, can you hear the voice?
Saying we have suffered long enough.
Oh, oh, oh
Take comfort oh my people
Take comfort, take comfort
This love will never turn away
Love will never turn away
There have been times, so many times
When the cuts felt so deep,
When blood ran through the streets.
There have been lives, so many lives
When the path was paved with pain
When no one knew our names.
Listen, can you hear the voice?
Saying we have suffered long enough.
Listen, can you hear the voice?
Saying we have suffered long enough.
Oh, oh, oh
Take comfort oh my people
Take comfort, take comfort
This love will never turn away
Love will never turn away
Listen now, don’t be afraid
There’s a God who holds this tender world
like a shepherd holds a stray
Listen now, don’t be afraid
The God of love and mercy is on the way
Oh, oh, oh
Take comfort oh my people
Take comfort, take comfort
This love will never turn away
Love will never turn away

Come As You Are
03:18
|
|||
|
Come you who've been wounded
All you who've lost hope
Come you who are longing
for what you don’t even know.
Come you hungry for justice
Aching for heaven on earth
Come you who've been tossed aside
Don't remember what you're worth
Come as you are
Come you weary
Come and lay your burdens down
Come as you are
Bring your hopes
Bring your doubts and your scars
Come as you are
Come you who have been cast out
All you who've been shamed
come you who are looking
for that mystery you can’t name
Come you crying for mercy
Hoping for peace on earth
Come you carrying questions
All you who’ve been so hurt
Come as you are
Come you weary
Come and lay your burdens down
Come as you are
Bring your hopes
Bring your doubts and your scars
Come as you are
Oh you misfits and prophets, and you sinners and saints
Oh you broken and needy, weird and weary and faint
All who seek to simply open their eyes.
All who need to find a safe place to cry.
Come as you are
Come you weary
Come and lay your burdens down
Come as you are
Bring your hopes
Bring your doubts and your scars
Come as you are

All You Ask
03:39
|
|||
|
You don’t ask us to get on our hands and knees
You don’t ask us to crawl in the dust
You don’t ask us to say the right words, cross our t’s
You don’t ask us to believe
All you ask
All you ask
All you ask us
is to be love
Be love. Be love.
You don’t ask us to do it all perfectly
You don’t ask us if we are enough
You don’t ask us to all be alike or agree
You don’t ask us to believe
All you ask
All you ask
All you ask us
is to be love
Be love. Be love.
Let us be here in your love
Always only be your love
Be your hands and arms of love
Be your voice and heart of love
Let us be your love.

Broken Body of Christ
03:31
|
|||
|
We are the wandering
We are the seeking
We are the ones left out to dry
We are the bleeding
Our hearts are weeping
We are the broken
Body of Christ
And when we eat
We are fed
The love that God
Has given
And when we drink
We take it in
This love
This earthly heaven.
We are the thirsty
Looking for mercy
We have all been kicked aside
We are the stumbling
Our hands are fumbling
We are the broken
Body of Christ
And when we eat
We are fed
The love that God
Has given
And when we drink
We take it in
This love
This earthly heaven.
We are loved
Just as we are
Taste and see
Loved as we are
Beautifully
different
Loved as we are
Just as we are.
And when we eat
We are fed
The love that God
Has given
And when we drink
We take it in
This love
This earthly heaven.
We are the wandering
We are the seeking
We are the broken
Body of Christ

Let Justice Rain
04:36
|
|||
|
The worlds on fire tonight
The streets are cryin tonight
One more bullet found its way
One more life gone today.
How do we change the ending of this story?
What can we do to make it out?
Let justice rain
Let it pour on this dry ground
Let mercy run
Let it flow where hurt is found
like a river through the streets
like a flood with waters deep
Right through our hearts.
Straight through our hearts
Let it rain.
Let it rain.
This town’s gone mad tonight
My heart feels bad tonight
The words they fly back and forth
Head down, defend your turf.
We all wanna stay alive
Just tryna get back home again
But how can we possibly survive?
Not one more
Enough is enough.
Say their names
Enough is enough….
Let justice rain
Let it pour on this dry ground
Let mercy run
Let it flow where hurt is found
like a river through the streets
like a flood with waters deep
Right through our hearts.
Straight through our hearts
Let it rain.
Let it rain.

Remember When
04:03
|
|||
|
Remember when we saw
the boy washed up on shore
The girl torn from her parents’ arms
Remember when we heard
16 shots in the night
No justice for that life
We want to know where You were
We want to know where You are
We want to know what you do
God you seem so far away
Remember when we saw
The unloved daughter/son?
Abandoned and undone
Remember when we watched
The city burning down
The sound of hate so loud
We want to know where You were
We want to know where You are
We want to know what you do
God you seem so far away
Show us your love right now
Show us your grace right now
Show us your face right now
Show us your way right now
Remember when you cried
You were looking for us too.
Told us love would see us through
Can we be love right now?
Can we be grace right now?
Can we show your face right now?
Live in your way right now?

Tear Down The Walls
03:51
|
|||
|
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls between us.
The clenched fist
The cordoned off heart
The border lines
Always keeping us apart.
The crossed arms
The closed up ears
The long high fence
Always keeping us in fear
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls between us.
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls between us.
Downcast eyes
The hard grip of hate
The words we shout
And the words we do not say.
The slow burn
The anger we feed
Scarring souls
with the lies that we keep
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls between us.
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls between us.
We bring the wood, the iron, the concrete, the fire
We build these walls every day.
We carry the hurt, the fears, the shame, and the tears.
Our beautiful barricade
These walls - we hate them.
But these walls, we make them.
These walls, it’s time to break them.
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls between us.
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls
Tear down the walls between us.
So I can see you
So you can see me too.

These Bodies
03:47
|
|||
|
You gave us these bodies
And you called them good
You gave us these bodies
And you called them good
We are easily damaged
have you seen the scars?
That’s just scratching the surface
More beneath where those are.
You gave us these bodies
And you called them good
You gave us these bodies
And you called them good
May we love them as you do
Let us love them as you do
Inside, outside, through and through
Let us love them as you do
But we do so much damage.
Have you seen the scars?
We keep hurting each other
Sometimes that’s just how we are
You gave us these bodies
And you called them good
You gave us these bodies
And you called them good
May we love them as you do
Let us love them as you do
Inside outside, through and through
Let us love them as you do
These bodies,
These bodies
They are fearfully, wonderfully made
Don’t believe the lies some say
No, our flesh and bones
Our hearts and hands
are loved in every way.
Yeah our flesh and bones
Our hearts and hands
are loved in every way.
You gave us these bodies
And you called them good
You gave us these bodies
And you called them good
May we love them as you do
Let us love them as you do
Inside outside, through and through
Let us love them as you do
Let us love them as you do

Beyond Belief
04:55
|
|||
|
When all the answers we’ve been given
Have all turned into questions,
When all the hurt that we’ve been feeling
Leaves us breathless, leaves us reeling
When it seems everything we’ve
been holding onto no longer holds true,
We can let go, and we can hold on to this
Your love is
Beyond belief
Stronger than the strongest tree.
Deeper than the deepest sea
Wilder than our wildest dreams
We don’t have to be afraid anymore
Cuz your love is sure,
God, your love is sure.
When nothing makes any sense here.
Hard to find a way through the fear.
Looks like survival depends on our silence
And everyone says, just keep smiling
When it seems everything we’ve
been holding onto no longer holds true,
We can let go, and we can hold on to this
Your love is
Beyond belief
Stronger than the strongest tree.
Deeper than the deepest sea
Wilder than our wildest dreams
We don’t have to be afraid anymore
Cuz your love is sure,
God, your love is sure.
No matter what we think
No matter how I look
Whatever skin we’re in
No matter who you love
No matter what they say
If we believe or not…
Your heart is wide enough
God’s heart is wide enough
Your love is
Beyond belief
Stronger than the strongest tree.
Deeper than the deepest sea
Wilder than our wildest dreams
We don’t have to be afraid anymore
Cuz your love is sure,
God, your love is sure.
