Lyrics:
Chorus:
Come on and paint me a picture of Jesus
Come on and paint
me a picture of the Lord
Come on and paint me a picture of
Jesus
Come on and paint me a picture of love
Well you can see it
when your out on the sidewalk
And on the walls of the street every day
(every day)
Some use the backs of their cars for their God talk
But
put on canvas, I wonder what it’d portray
Repeat
Chorus
Would the images brought before eyes tell of glory
Of a
strength dressed in weakness in a love that was slain (that was
slain)
Could the brush really tell the whole story
Of our Savior who
died for His claim
Your love in return, could you say that you’ve shown it
Could you
honestly tell me (could you honestly tell me) this was someone you
knew?
But in the light (light) of salvation have you shown it
If it
came down to friendship, tell me could he paint you?
Repeat
Chorus
Bridge:
Some of our pictures will differ and it’s well
that they do
For each one is a piece and a reflection of truth
Some
may think they’ve beheld Him but they’ll miss on the art
But if you
want the Masterpiece you must give Him your heart
Repeat Chorus
A picture of love, a picture of love, a picture of love

Lyrics:
Three crosses stood on a hill
An unmistakable message of intent to
kill
To those who were watching, to those who could see
The Christ
was to die there on Calvary
He had to bear all the torture and
unearthly pain
They ridiculed and mocked Him but He loved them just the
same
When it was all over they realized what they’d done
They had
just killed God’s only son
Chorus:
Two thousand years ago they put His cross in the
ground
Two thousand years ago His blood flowed down
And though my
foolish heart finds it hard to believe
Two thousand years ago, He was
thinking of me
He knew it would happen though He told them not
when
God with us would perish to save us from sin (sin)
The feeling
was heavy, the crowd's voice was raised
When His life ended our souls
were saved
Repeat Chorus
And now when I look at that
time
I can scarcely imagine the degree of the crime
I’d like to
think myself a disciple crying out loud
But I know from my own life,
I’d be in the crowd
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Scriptural Reference:
"And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, heard his cry and saw how he died, he said, 'Surely this man was the Son of God!'" Mark 15:39

Lyrics:
Where can I go from your spirit?
Where shall I flee from Your
presence?
Chorus:
If I go up to the Heavens, if I make my bed in
the depths
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle across from
the sea
You are there (You are there, You are there, You are there, You
are there)
Where can I go from Your spirit?
Where shall I flee
from Your presence?
Repeat Chorus
You are there (You are
there, You are there), You are there (You are there, You are
there)
Even there Your hand will guide me, You are there
You are
there (You are there, You are there), You are there (You are there, You
are there)
Even there Your right hand will hold me, You are
there
Repeat Chorus
You are there (You are there, You are
there), You are there (You are there, You are there)
Even there Your
hand will guide me, You are there
You are there (You are there, You are
there), You are there (You are there, You are there)
Even there Your
right hand will hold me, You are there
Where can I go?
You are
there
Scriptural Reference:
"Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast." Psalm 139:7-10

Chorus 1:
Quiet, quiet, He is speaking
Quiet, quiet, can you hear
Him calling?
Quiet, quiet, His voice so softly
Quiet, quiet, trust
me, trust me
Can you hear Him, hear Him saying my child, my
child
Hear Him, hear Him urging you to stop your sinning
Hear Him,
hear Him, He is waiting, praying
Hear Him, hear Him saying come back
home
Chorus 2:
Don’t you know He will never give up on
you
Even if you give up on Him (He won't give up)
He’ll forever be
there with His tender loving care
He will always take you back
in
He is pleading (He, He is pleading), follow, follow
He is
pleading (He, He is pleading), turn away, turn away
He is pleading (He,
He is pleading) saying “I am The Way and The Truth and The Life
You
need look no further it’s I that you seek"
Don’t you know (don't
you know), Don't you know (don't you know)
Repeat Chorus 2 (x2)
He will always take you back in
Repeat Chorus 1
Quiet, quiet

Lyrics:
Well, you can see Him walking down the dusty street
He’s the guy
that all the people want to meet
And you can see His sandals walking
side to side
Walking on with His disciples by His side
You look in His eyes and you can see there’s something there
A fire
that burns inside extinguishing the stare
He is the Son of God He’s on
the righteous path
Crushing sin within His peaceful
aftermath
Chorus:
They call Him the Son of God (the Son of God)
and evil takes flight
Jesus Christ can do no wrong, only right
The
Prince of Peace (the Prince of Peace) with death He’s won the
fight
Lamb of God, He is the Way the Truth the Life
There’s
somethin’ ‘bout Him that His friends have known
The way that He loves
and cares it really sets a tone
He’s always there if you will turn your
heart to Him
Just believe in His name and He will set you free from
sin
Repeat Chorus (x2)

Lyrics:
What does she think about me? Does that guy think I’m cool
(cool)?
What do you think about me? Would you call me wise or just a
fool?
Am I worth anything in the world’s eyes?
Don’t matter,
it’s God’s eyes that count
Don’t matter, it’s God’s eyes that count
(it's God's eyes)
It’s God’s eyes that count, what He sees and His
opinion of me
That’s what matters, it’s God’s eyes that count
So let
my words testify (testify), let my actions magnify (magnify)
And let my
heart glorify (glorify) Your name (glorify, glorify Your name)
So let
my words testify (testify), let my actions magnify Your name
Let my
heart glorify (glorify) Your name (glorify, glorify), Your name
So
what does He think about me? Is He pleased with my soul?
Am I giving my
all in all to Him pressing on towards the goal?
Oh I’m worth
everything (everything) in my Father’s eyes (Father's eyes)
I matter,
it’s God’s eyes that count
I matter, it’s God’s eyes that count (it's
God's eyes)
It’s God’s eyes that count, what He sees and His opinion of
me
That’s what matters, it’s God’s eyes that count
So let my words
testify (testify), let my actions magnify (magnify)
And let my heart
glorify (glorify) Your name (glorify, glorify Your name)
Let my words
testify (testify), let my actions magnify Your name
Let my heart
glorify (glorify) Your name (glorify), glorify Your name
I will glorify
Your name (glorify), glorify Your name (glorify)
I will glorify,
glorify Your name

Lyrics:
A child was born through a virgin birth
He was our God in the flesh
come to walk the Earth
It was Jesus, oh the only one
He was a
sinless man He came to set us free
That we might have life more
abundantly
It was Jesus, oh the only one (the only
one)
Chorus:
It was Jesus, oh, it was Jesus, oh
It was Jesus
(Jesus), the only one (the only one)
He took nails for you, nails
for me
Hangin’ there on Calvary's tree
It was Jesus, oh the only one
(the only one)
Oh yeah, and no-one paid the way He paid
The debt He
paid so we could be saved
It was Jesus, oh the only one (the only
one)
Repeat Chorus
When the finale comes, all is said and
done
Don’t get stuck in the dark without the Son
I need Jesus, oh
the only one
Repeat Chorus (x2)
It was Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
The only one
It was Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
The only one

Lyrics:
In the cool of evening, my Lord comes down and walks with me, with
me
In the darkest of valleys, He’s there to talk, to talk to
me
On the mountains, in the valleys, in the darkest of the
night
In my sorrows, in my trials, He whispers it’s all right
In
the cool of evening, in the garden of my heart
Oh Christian, why be
discouraged when God is on His throne
Oh sinner, why don’t you hasten,
can’t you hear Him calling you home?
In the cool of evening, He
will walk and talk to you, to you
Scriptural Reference:
"Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the Lord God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the Lord God among the trees of the garden." Genesis 3:8

Lyrics:
Chorus 1:
Well He came and died, Christ was glorified
All was
prophesied, Heaven was open wide
He said by Him we could be
redeemed
Now our hope is in Him to save us from all our
sin
Imagine Christ had never come where would our hope be
today
What if we were waiting for His birth would we have a faith to
state
Instead we wait for His return and pray for it in the coming
day
Had it come before could we not ignore that it’s not too far
away
What if we had (we had) followed someone else (followed) and stood
knocking (someone) on their door (we had followed someone)
Or suppose
we chose (for we) a different path (chose a) would we search (different)
for something more (something)
Think if we had (we had) never known
(never) of Him (known Him) how could our lives be this full (be this
full)
Or if the gift of eternal life was a story after
all
Chorus 2:
For we can not be ourselves without Him
No, and
no one can make us whole the way the Father can (the way the Father
can)
Now some might try some different ways to replace the Lord in
their lives today
I’m so glad He’s shown the way to my heart so I can
say
We were all born into this world we were oh so
incomplete
Our hearts were made with one part gone and it’s that part
that we need (that we need)
The Lord has given another gift and He
calls it our free will
And when we choose to believe in Him it’s the
empty part He fills
Repeat Chorus 2
Repeat Chorus 1
What if Christ had never come where would our hope be today?

Lyrics:
Lord, let your light, light of your face, shine on us
Lord, let your
light, light of your face, shine on us
That we may be saved, that we
may have light
To find our way in the darkest night
Let your light
shine on us
Lord, let your grace, grace from your hand, fall on
us
Lord, let your grace, grace from your hand, fall on us
That we
may be saved, that we (that we) may have light
To find our way in the
darkest night
Let your grace, grace fall on us
Lord, let your
love, love with no end, come over us
(And) Lord, let your love, love
with no end, come over us
That we may be saved, that we may have
light
To find our way in the darkest night
Let your love come over
us
Let your light shine on us
