Scriptural Reference:
"These are a shadow of the things that were to come; the reality,
however, is found in Christ." Colossians 2:17
So you tell me I’m hard to love, you’re better off alone But each
time you run away it’s left you wanting (left you wanting so much) More
to love, more to life, one more day to make it right Take my hand an
let me show you life (let me show you life)
Chorus 1: I will never let you go I just wanted you to
know (Hush now) Oh Hush now don’t say a word (Until you’ve heard)
Until you’ve heard I will never let you go, no
So you tell me you need a face before you can trust me The scars
left by former love have left you empty (so empty) I can heal who you
are the broken pieces of your heart Take my hand and let me give you
life (let me give you life)
Repeat Chorus 1
So this sacred romance calls and whispers in your ear The risk is
worth it all to have to hear
Bridge: I will never let you go I just wanted you to know Oh
Hush now don’t say a word Until you’ve heard
Chorus 2: I will never let you go, no I won't (never let you
go) I just wanted you to know (you to know) (Hush now) Oh Hush now
don’t say a word (Until you’ve heard) Until you’ve heard I will
never let you go, no I won't
I will never let you go
Scriptural Reference:
"No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your
life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never
leave you nor forsake you." Joshua 1:5
When I make mistakes I need a shoulder to cry on And a forgiving
hand to hold You never forsake, You’re always there rely on And
carry me back to the fold
Oh, when my will gets weak And my doubts get strong And
everything that’s right goes wrong (goes wrong)
Chorus: In You there’s hope (In You) In You there’s peace (In
You) I find in You everything I need (If I) If I owned this world
(owned this world) and I had to choose (I had to choose) I’d trade it
all to keep the friend I’ve found in You (in You)
Sometimes I feel like everyone is against me It’d be easier to just
give in (just give in) That’s when I kneel and in prayer You convince
me That with You it’s a fight I can win
When I feel like a vessel So lost at sea And there’s no solid
ground within reach, yeah
Repeat Chorus
Bridge: I run, but I stumble And I try and I fail But because
of a cross and three nails
Repeat Chorus
There is hope
Scriptural Reference:
"May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who loved us and
by his grace gave us eternal encouragement and good hope, encourage your
hearts and strengthen you in every good deed and word." 2
Thessalonians 2:16-17
I know you I want you to know me I love you I want you to love
me I see you Can’t you see me? I’m waiting Here for you
‘Cause I’ll be the first one running, oh oh oh The day you
believe
Chorus 1: Before you were even born (I wore) I wore a crown of
thorns (of thorns) So you and I could be together I lived my life
for you (I lived) And I gave my life for you (for you) So one day we
could spend forever face to face
When you’re lonely I won’t leave you When you’re hurting I
will heal you When you’re crying I can hear you I’m
listening Talk to me
‘Cause I know how hard life can be (oh) Believe me I do
Repeat Chorus 1
Chorus 2: While shaking from the pain I thought about your
name So glad that I could take your place there I let them torture
me And nail me to a tree So one day we could spend forever
Oh, forever face to face Oh, I want to spend forever with
you Face to Face I want to see your face, oh
Scriptural Reference:
"Jesus said, 'Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are
doing.' And they divided up His clothes by casting lots." Luke
23:34
Chorus: Know, Know Don’t you wanna know, don’t you wanna
know (I wanna) I gotta know, I’ve got to know Who’s that
man Know, Know Don’t you wanna know, don’t you wanna know (I
wanna) I gotta know, I’ve got to know Who’s that man
He got a different little style than other men today He does His
thing with a swing And everything you see Him do is on a different
wave You never ever seen Him before Well He’s not your ordinary
slick uptown type of brother Don’t think twice ‘cause you’ll never find
another Because the man behind the cross You’ve never ever seen Him
before (you never ever seen Him before)
Repeat Chorus
He’s got the flava, the dude is bad He’s got something everybody
wish they had But something tells me you don’t wanna make Him mad
(no) No you don’t, no you don’t, no no no no no He’s not your
ordinary, slick, uptown type of brother Don’t think twice ‘cause you’ll
never find another Because the man behind the cross You’ve never
seen him before (you never ever seen him before)
Repeat Chorus
Breakdown!
Rap: Christ my idol, the highest title, numero uno The
gospels steady leakin and I’m speakin so that you know And understand
who gives the gift to speech Truly a blessin so listen to message we
teach I’m talking (I’m talking truth ya’ll) truth to truth unto the
poor From the knowledge of the Word it was instilled in my home I’m
kinda young (I’m kinda young) but my trials bring maturity And in the
battle seeking Christ for my security He gets the praise when the
records gets played To put it short, I got it made (sing it again, sing
it again)
Repeat Chorus
Scriptural Reference:
"However, after his brothers had left for the Feast, he went also, not
publicly, but in secret. Now at the Feast the Jews were watching for
him and asking, 'Where is that man?'" John 7:10-11
Chorus: Livin’ a life to surpass imagination Givin’ a call to a
world in desperation Offering all that I am in adoration Lord to be
Yours (Lord to be Yours), Lord to be Yours
Bringin it strong it’s on, I can’t stop the flow (yeah) Because
you’ve changed me rearranged me (gotta take a minute) Nothing I know
can fill me so I gotta let go (let go) and tell you why I’m…
Repeat Chorus
Now you gotta be real and feel it, walk what you talk Be a tower of
living power (of the Holy Spirit) Full of the measure of Jesus
Christ And when His love shows (then you know) then you know
you’re...
Repeat Chorus
Lord to be Yours

of my fears give away to the arms of love

keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our
Lord Jesus Christ." 2 Peter 1:8
Chorus: Lord if Your thoughts are not my thoughts And Your ways
are not my ways I gotta know what You have to say Show me, show
me Lord if Your thoughts are not my thoughts And Your ways are not
my ways I gotta know what You have to say Show me, show me
I’m so tired of watching people find their place Like a less than
perfect sculpture fastened to its perfect base It must be my luck to
end up last in line Or could it be the consequence to this arrogance of
mine
(Sorry I don’t understand) the idea of a master plan
Repeat Chorus
It’s not like I’ve never stumbled here before And it’s not like I’ve
ever chased a dream to end up wanting more My way just seems the
hardest when I try And most likely my resistance or the lack of it is
why
(Take not Your spirit from me) Will You be what I need You to be?
Repeat Chorus
Bridge: Trust in me is what you say Let today worry ‘bout
today I won’t lean on what my mind can understand For You alone are
God and I am just a man
Not my ways
Repeat Chorus
Lord if Your thoughts are not my thoughts (Lord if Your
thoughts) And Your ways are not my ways (Your ways are not my
ways) I gotta know what You have to say Show me, show me
Scriptural Reference:
"Show me your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths." Psalm 25:4
Bienvenidos friend, this is where I’m from Just a few miles south,
the place that I called home Where we fought off hunger daily from a
box with driftwood sides Now I found a house of living hope and a well
that gives me life
Chorus: We all live in the city of children and we all look the
same You’ll find your place in the welcoming faces And all you’ve
lost you’ll gain In the city of children (ooo, in the city), the city
of children (ooo, in the city)
The city of children (ooo, in the city), the city of children (ooo)
May the words you speak (the words you speak) and not a coin or
note Be the bread you give (the bread that you give) to feed a hungry
soul Cause the beauty about love is it’s everywhere I go It’s the
same in any language, so I’m richer than you know
Repeat Chorus
Bridge 1: We will be (we will be) the hands and feet (hands and
feet) So go with me (go with me) to the city of children (city of
children) We will be (we will be) the hands and feet (hands and
feet) So go with me (go with me) to the city of children (city of
children)
Bienvenidos friend (welcome friend), this is where I’m from (where I'm
from) Just a few miles south (where you call home) of the place that
you call home And though I don’t share your language, we share a
greater truth ‘Cause if you belong to Jesus then you belong here,
too
Repeat Chorus
The city of children (ooo, in the city), the city of children (ooo)
Repeat Bridge 1
Bridge 2 (Children Fade In, Adults Fade Out): We will be the hands
and feet So go with me to the city of children We will be the hands
and feet So go with me to the city of children
So go with me, city of children
Scriptural Reference:
"And He said: 'I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like
little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."
Matthew 18:3
I think I drove by you just yesterday I think you were
wearing The same thing you are today I don’t believe
Everyone watches but they’d never show The pain that they’re
feeling And sometimes you just won’t let go We all need to see you
and me
Chorus: ‘Cause everybody needs love Everybody needs love (we all
need love) ‘Cause everybody needs love Everybody needs love (we all
need love)
Some say we’re different, I know we’re the same We both need the
sunshine And I know we both need the rain It helps me to see
you and me
Repeat Chorus
Bridge: Ooo, so many lives (so many lives) searching to find
out what love is But searching is all that they’ll find This is the
love (this is the love) Jesus would give up his life and Carry a cross
that was mine
(We all need love)
Repeat Chorus
We all need love We (we all) all need love We (we all) all need
love We (we all) all need love
Scriptural Reference:

that Listening before each choice I want to be like that
Chorus 1: Father hear my humble plea Help me to be like the ocean
that is under Your command Help me be still, I want to do Your
will Oh Lord, make me a storm
The raging sea did not think twice I want to be like
that Following without a fight I want to be like that
Repeat Chorus 1
Chorus 2: O Father hear my humble plea (hear my plea) Help me to
be like the ocean that is under Your command Help me be still (help me
be still), I want to do Your will Oh Lord, make me a storm

Lord, make me a storm
