You Restore Me
It’s been a long cold winter
In this season of my life
But just as sure as I will see the sunrise
I know the spring is not far behind
Nothing in this world could ever
Keep me from your will for my life
Cause I know you are faithful
Nothing can hold back the spring
All things will become new again
Chorus
You restore me
And I will wait
For the seasons to change
Come to me come to me
My faithful friend
You have been my water
In this desolate place
I have come to know your ways
Are much higher than mine
I can see clearly now
Nothing’s in my way
And nothing can hold back your promise
You will make this heart sing again
Chorus
You restore me
And I will wait
For the seasons to change
Come to me come to me
My faithful friend
Dreamer
I lie here awake thinking 'bout the future
And how I miss the past
And I feel the rain beating on my parade
Though I wish it would disappear
Chorus
Maybe, maybe I'm a dreamer
Trying hard to believe
And lately, I've been losing sleep
Searching all too deep
I lie in despair gathering my thoughts
Of all I had and lost
And I feel the pain, but recognize the healing
Lord I wanna fly, into your arms and cry
Chorus
Bridge
Dreaming dreams of love that would last
Dreaming dreams of heaven here in my sleep
Free
Thought I was gone..so far gone
But conscious of all that I’ve done
Been lost at sea... but you carried me
All of my life you loved me
(CHORUS)
Thought I was gone...oh but now I see
Thought I was gone... You set me free
Lived everyday... drifting astray
But You never turned me away
Lived many a lie...but You came to die
So right into heaven I’d fly
(CHORUS)
Thought I was gone...oh but now I see
Thought I was gone... You set me free...Oh I was gone, but now I’m free
(Solo/Breakdown)
I’ve been in pain...through driving rain
Could not feel the blood through my veins
Thought I was strong... couldn’t hold on
But your love for me was so strong
I thought I’d die running this race
But you sent your son in my place
CHORUS
Here With Me
Dry...you saw these rivers run dry
And I can only thirst for more
Sky... you left your throne for me
You soared beneath the stars to rescue me
You reached beyond your justice to mercy
And I do not deserve, the grace you shined on me
Chorus
Through the storm there's a light I see
Lord I know you're here with me
Your rod and staff they comfort me
Lord I know you're here with me
Love... you showed your love for me
Even when I turn away from you
And I groan, and I groan just to be with you
A heart that once was broken praises you
You gave to me your vision of love
You spoke to me unspoken
Your spirit lives in me
Chorus
I Found You
I’ve been searching for my home
A hiding place that I could call my own
I’ve been to places where I could hide
But they could never fill what’s in my soul
All I feel is you All I want is you
Chorus
On my way through destiny
Your breath of life you gave to me
Forever searching you found me
All I want is more of you
Your words of love they see me through
Through the dark is where I found you
All I feel is you All I want is you
I’ve been searching for a friend
But you called my name and called me son
You light the fire in my heart
And all I ever need is found in you
All I feel is you All I want is you
Chorus
I Need You
In the agony of silence I can hear your still voice
As I search to go deeper I will die to myself
As I strive to get closer I’m chasing after you
Take me to that place
Chorus
I need you, the fire and the rain
I feel you when nothing else remains
I need you
Lord I exalt you as my walls come crashing down
When I go through the fire
Let my mouth be filled with praise
Lord you have shown me the depth of your love
From your holy place
Chorus
I need you, the fire and the rain
I feel you when nothing else remains
I need you
I need you, when my light begins to fade
I need you when all is stripped away
I need you
I Wait For You
Turn to me says the Lord with fasting and weeping.
Pour out your hearts to me that I will heal you O Israel.
My word has gone out in righteousness and will accomplish what it is set out to do; to pierce your hearts with conviction through the power of my spirit- to purify you;
to set you apart.
I am your God and there is no other. Turn from your ways and I will heal you- nothing is hidden from me.
I will cause you to walk in integrity even in your secret places and your hearts shall be pure.
Stand firm for I am coming soon and will return for my spotless bride. Join forces, and be aware of dissensions among you.
Trust in the power of my might and not of your flesh. I am waiting to cleanse you of all righteousness.
I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Return to me, without condemnation, without shame.
I will pour out my compassion on my children, because I love you.
I wait patiently for you, I will not turn you away.
The sacrifice covering of my blood will heal you.
Do not strive of your flesh, but accept my mercy and grace says the Lord of Hosts
If Not For Love
You talk about miracles
You talk about faith
But have you experienced
His love at fist hand
Have you listened for His voice
And not your own
Have you died to yourself
And have you felt His rejection
Chorus
If not for love, love, love
All would be lost
In a sea of confusion
A life without hope
If not for love, love, love
That bled on a cross
We'd remain here as orphans
If not for love
Have you suffered for long
And without complain
Have you felt persecution
While praising His name
You talk about having it hard
On your long, long road
Do you take up your cross
Or give up the fight
Chorus
If not for love, love, love
All would be lost
In world full of hatred
A life without gain
If not for love, love, love
Violence would reign
In the hearts of our children
If not for love
Light My Way
Peace within, no peace without
Come and change me, resurrect me
Come fill me with your love
Rescue me from all that I’m drowning in
Keep me from all that would do me in
Light my way
From the window of the heart is a lifetime of broken dreams
Like a child I run to you when my way is so dark and confused
Send me your angel to carry me throught the night
In the desert I will wait I will wait for the rains to fall
Chorus
Light my way, Savior Lord I will trust in you
Like a child I will follow
I place my soul in your hands Light my way
Deep within only you know the depth of my pain
In the dark you lead me to crosses
When I just can’t find my way home
There’s a light that never fails
It cuts through my darkest despair
Send me you wings like an eagle I will rise above
Chorus
Light my way, Savior
You are my way, truth and my light
Like a child I will follow
I place my soul in your hands, Light my way
Make Me a River
Before the foundations you called my name
When I pass though the waters you will be with me
They will not overtake me they will carry me to the sea
To a depth I could not imagine
To places I could never dream of
Chorus
Help me to believe more than I could see
Let my faith arise to conquer all you have for me
Spirit carry me high against the wind
Lord prepare for me a table before my enemies
Make me a river
Behold you will do a new thing
The time is now
You have made a road for me in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert
Let it flow, let it carry me
Chorus
This Love
I could tell you a world of mysteries
A saving grace you could believe
I thought I knew love before
Until his mercy just blew down my doors
His love is deeper than the cross
And nothing can separate us
Chorus
This love is something to believe
This love is all I ever need
This love is all you need to see
Open up your hearts and believe
that His love is love
I found a love that paid the price for me
Two thousand years ago on Calvary
A love that I can trust
A love that claimed my victory
Time and time I testify
Of this love that just can't be denied
Don’t Walk Away -9-11
I felt the sting of hatred
falling from bitter skies
And I've seen the heroes die in streets of pain
But you just run and hide
Chorus
Don't walk away until you cry
Feel the pain they suffer deep inside
Don't walk away until you cry
Echoes of love still linger
linger through broken walls
Can you hear the desolation
This Thorn
Take this thorn from me
I want to live a life of peace
How I long to just be free again
So many times I've asked you to
release me from these chains
I wonder why you keep me here all this time
Then I realize when I am weak I am strong
Peace cover me
Your holy words I will breathe
Whether this thorn you take away or leave
I will trust in your ways
Although I don't understand
If this thorn should remain
Just take my hand
And let the power of your grace cover me
