Lyrics:
The world was spinning, passing me by
I was fooled by the desires of
my mind
I then went running out of control
Ignoring all the things
the Good Book told me
But now I’m here to testify that You never gave
up on me
Chorus 1:
I’m so excited
I’ve been saved by the love of
God
Reunited
Why would I go, why would I go?
No one, no where,
can tear me away from the love of God
So excited
Where would I
go?
I’m back, I'm back on the block
The Lord restored, renewed, turned
back the clock
From all of my chains, I’ve been set free
The power
of His love has rescued me
And now I’m here to shout it out, You
never gave up on me
Chorus 2:
I’m so excited
'Cause I’ve been saved by the love of
God
Reunited
Why would I go, why would I go?
No one, no where,
can tear me away from the love of God
So excited
Where could I
go?
Bridge:
Ain’t it amazing how He turns your life around?
And
there’s just no doubt about it, I was lost but now I’m found
So excited
'Cause I've been saved by the love of
God
Reunited
I'm so excited
Chorus 3:
I’m so excited
'Cause I’ve been saved by the love of
God
Reunited
Why would I go, why would I go?
No one, no where,
can tear me away from the love of God
So excited
I am so excited,
yeah, yeah
So excited
Ain’t it amazing, ain’t it amazing, yeah
So
excited
We’re all going to be reunited, hey
Reunited
No one can
take that away
So excited
I’m so excited

Lyrics:
Sometimes I’m lazy and drag my feet, my walk becomes a
crawl
Motivation I had takes a hike, standards begin to fall
I’m a
child of the King that has a nice ring, should be changin’ lives you
see
Well I’m feeling lazy and sittin’ around
Well it’s easier to
me
Chorus 1:
How did Daniel face the lions?
How did Moses part the
sea?
How did Noah build that ark?
What’s so wrong with me?
If
it’s faith Lord I’m missing, could You show me some right now?
If I
need to catch a glimpse of You, could You show me Yourself now?
Six a.m. and then I’m hitting snooze, time to face another day
Two
paths to choose mine or His
Will I follow or will I stray?
I wanna
make a difference, to invest in eternity
(Without You) Without You I’m
inadequate and powerless to succeed
Repeat Chorus
Callin’ out for Your wisdom, for the moving of Your hand
Asking You
for Your guidance and the courage to take a stand
That’s how Daniel faced the lions, and Moses split that sea
That’s
how I’ll make a difference, by the Spirit of God in me
If it’s faith
Lord I’m missin’, could You show me some right now?
If I need to catch
a glimpse of You, could You show me Yourself now?
Callin’ out for Your
wisdom, for the moving of Your hand (moving of Your hand)
Asking You
for Your guidance and the courage to take a stand
Chorus 2:
How did Daniel (How did Daniel)?
Moses, how did
Moses?
Noah, He built that ark
And what’s so wrong with me?
If
it’s faith Lord I’m missing, could You show me some right now? (I need
some now)
If I need to catch a glimpse of You, could You show me
Yourself now?
How can I make a difference?

Lyrics:
All of these flowers for this friend of ours, it’s such a shame
All
of these people, all of them equally feel the same
There’s solace and
weeping
“It looks like he’s sleeping” the children say
They say he
was ready, I hope he was ready is the prayer I’m praying
Chorus:
When Gabriel begins to blow, victory shall be mine (shall be
mine)
When the horses get ready to go, the angels won’t leave me
behind
I’m gonna be, got to be ready when the chariot comes (when
the chariot, when the chariot comes)
I’m gonna be, got to be
ready when the chariot comes
Over the prairie the pallbearers carry and lay him to rest
Satan’s a
cheater, but Christ is the teacher and life’s the test
Oh Lord take me
higher, never liked fire, I can’t stay here
I gotta get ready, gotta
get ready, the time has drawn near
Repeat Chorus
As I lay me down to sleep, I pray my soul You’ll keep (my soul You'll
keep)
If I die before I wake, I pray my soul You’ll take
'Cause I
gotta be, gotta be ready when Jesus comes, when the chariot comes
I’m
gonna be, got to be ready when the chariot comes (when the chariot, when
the chariot comes)
Said I'm gonna be, got to be ready when the chariot
comes
(Got to be ready) When the chariot comes
(Got to be ready) When the
chariot comes
(Got to be ready) When that chariot comes
(Got to be
ready) When the chariot comes

Lyrics:
A little child kneels before God’s throne
To his left is a man bound
in chains
And to his right knelt a socialite
Neither one did God
turn away
For each one had come to this place, to be near the Holy
One
To be set free by grace, by the calling of the Son
Chorus:
Come as you are
Right where you are
A little child is welcomed same as the sinful, but each must take a
stand
To be heirs of God’s own kingdom
Reach out and take His
hand
There’s never been a better time to come to Him
There’s never
been a better place than here
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
He’s been calling, He’s been waiting
He’s been watching,
anticipating
There’s no reason to keep on delaying
So come (come),
just as you are
Right now, just as you are
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Repeat Bridge
Repeat Chorus (x2)

Lyrics:
You loved me from the beginning, You loved me through the years
You
loved me in my quiet times, You loved me in my tears
You loved me
through my trials, You loved me through my fears
And because Your love
was with me, I knew that You were here
Chorus:
Oh I may not be here on the day You come (on the day You
come)
My time may have run out long before
But to be absent from
this life is to be in the presence of the Lord
And I’ll be with my
Jesus I adore
Every day I see something new revealed to me
And consequently I will
never be the same
And in every new miracle is a love I find
unavoidable
Oh Lord there is a power in Your name
Repeat Chorus
Repeat Verse 1

Lyrics:
What good can come of this?
My desperation runs so deep
Oh I can
not even speak
I find myself doubting You (doubting You)
I’m blinded
by my pain
Fear grips my heart with no relief (no relief), and all I
know is grief
I did not ask for this, so I cry out to God
Are You
really there, or do You even care?
Have You turned Your back on me?
Chorus 1:
In my darkest hour, You revealed Your power and heard my
desperate cry
You shone Your love around, Now blessings they
abound
When I was weak You showed Your awesome power
In my darkest
hour, You revealed Your power
Is there no other way?
(Father) Father I know this cross is
Mine
It is not My will but Thine
I feel so all alone, so I stretch
out My hands
This I know, this is the price that must be paid
Oh the
life that must be laid
Will they believe in Me?
So I cry out to You,
I know You’re still there
And I know You care
Soon they will be
free
Repeat Chorus 1
Bridge:
Though He died upon that tree, He lives like You and
me
Death could not keep Him in the ground
Through the tears and
through the pain, God brings new life
Like the sun shines through the
rain, the rain
For in my darkest hour, You revealed Your power and heard my desperate
cry (my cry)
And reached to dry my eye
Chorus 2:
In our darkest hour, You revealed Your power
And heard
our desperate cry, and reached to dry our eye
You shone your love
around, now blessings they abound
When I was weak (when we were weak)
You showed Your awesome power
In my darkest hour
When I’m weak You show Your awesome power
In my darkest hour, You
revealed Your power

Lyrics:
Think upon these, Think upon these things
Chorus:
Whatever is true, whatever is right, whatever is
honorable
We are to think upon these things, yeah
Whatever is true
(whatever is true), whatever is right (whatever is right), whatever is
honorable
We are to think upon these things
Think upon these, Think
upon these things
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our
faith
Who, for the joy set before Him, endured the cross for all our
shame
Christ is our example of how to live our lives each day
So
read about Him in His Word and trust Him and obey
Repeat Chorus
For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, for good
works
That He’s prepared in advance for us and He’s expressed this in
His Word
So be imitators of our God as children dearly loved
You
were once in darkness now you’re light to Him, so set your mind on things
above
Oh, Forgetting what’s behind and the time when my soul was
dead
Pressing forward towards the goal to win the heavenly prize
instead
Repeat Chorus
We are to think upon these things
Think upon these, Think about
these things, Think upon these
We are to think upon these things
Scriptural Reference:
"For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good
works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Ephesians
2:10
"Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children."
Ephesians 5:1
"For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the
Lord. Live as children of light." Ephesians 5:8
"Brothers, I do
not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do:
Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on
toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in
Christ Jesus. All of us who are mature should take such a view of
things. And if on some point you think differently, that too God will make
clear to you." Phillipians 3:13-15
"Let us fix our eyes on Jesus,
the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him
endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of
the throne of God." Hebrews 12:2

Lyrics:
I could pray all day, but it wouldn’t be enough
I could find all the
right things to say, it wouldn’t win me anymore of Your love
I could pray all day, no but it wouldn’t be enough
I could find all
the right things to say, it wouldn’t win me any more of Your love
I
could live in a Christ-like way, but it wouldn’t earn me one more
minute
I do my best to make You stay, but You won’t unless my heart is
in it
I could work my whole life long to try to earn my wings
I
could teach the right from the wrong, but without You it won’t mean a
thing
Chorus:
I can, can tell about You
I just lose my
voice
But if I want to know You, I gotta make a choice
I choose
You
You have chosen me to be alive today, this much is true
And You have
given me the ability to seek and know You
Whether I believe, it won’t
change the fact of what You did, but You’ll leave it up to me
Choose
the right way, choose to live
Repeat Chorus
It’s true, I choose You
The only way to know You is to lay my life
before You
It’s true, I choose You
I choose You, I choose You
I
choose You
Time will pass with or without me
You’ve given me a choice of what
to do
I can deceive myself or I can choose to live in the truth
Your
perfect love, will never change, yesterday, today, tomorrow, still the
same
Your promise leaves me with one thing to say, I choose You
Scriptural Reference:
"You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name." John 15:16

Lyrics:
We look for You in the mountains and in the valleys below
Yet all
the while we can’t hear Your whisper in the wind’s soft blow
We look
for You in the thunderstorm and in the torrents of rain
Oh and when
panic consumes us
You are quietly whispering our name
Chorus:
So please give us ears so that we can hear as You quietly
whisper in our ears
And give us eyes so we may see the things that You
do so subtly
Learning to hear You in the quiet times, away from the chaos of the
day
Oh Lord fill us up, for we daily run dry
Our hearts without You
decay
Lord fill us, so we can serve You
Infuse us with Your flawless
love
Then when panic rains on us, we will hear You clearly from
above
Repeat Chorus (x2)

Lyrics:
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name
Thy kingdom
come, Oh Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
Give us this day
our daily bread and forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors
And
lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil
For Thine is the
kingdom and the power and the glory forever, Amen, Amen
Scriptural Reference:
"This, then, is how you should pray: 'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one.'" Matthew 6:9-13
