All You
Those moments when I preach so hard I don’t know my words
I hear a voice above the noise, then a flaming tongue of scriptures
All you
I see a rose in bloom in the desert
I stay true no matter the weather
All you
You’re my hope, my way, my light in the darkest valley
You’re my mind, my courage, my strength to talley
All of my good parts, and realize it’s all you
I give all of me so I’d be all you
I give my lies so I’d be all truth
I know I’ll make mistakes there’ll be heartbreaks but there’s hope of healing in you
I’m unafraid to take big steps
Cause I know I have to make this world less
And more of you
All the glory
The credits to my story
Are all you
In my scars they see your heart
In my eyes they see your life
When it seems like circumstances lead to another moment of dancing
Well that’s all you
You’re my heart, my soul, my will to defeat the trials
You’re my victory, my story, my reason why I’m happy in the meanwhile
I open my eyes and I realize that you’re the reason I’m truly alive
All you
Strength to Fly
I’ve wandered through the darkest hour
I’m not gone because of your power
Even when I didn’t choose you
You were there all the way through
It’s not my will to hang on to You
It’s your will to carry me
You’ve got the biggest arms I’ve ever seen
And I’ve seen the arms of giants
You heal my wounds and broken heart
You give me the greatest strength I’ve witnessed
And I’ve felt the roar of lions
You tore down my walls
Because of you I stroll down the halls
And all of the doors of opportunity are open
Because of you I have a future in sight again
It’s not my will to hang on to You
It’s your will to carry me
You’ve got the biggest arms I’ve ever seen
And I’ve seen the arms of giants
You heal my wounds and broken heart
You give me the greatest strength I’ve witnessed
And I’ve felt the roar of lions
I gave you the smallest bit of trust
You gave me the power to move mountains
I gave you a feeble cry
You gave me the brightness to draw the moths of the night
It’s not my will to hang on to You
It’s your will to carry me
And you’ve got the biggest arms I’ve ever seen
And I’ve the arms of giants
You heal my wounds and broken heart
You give me the greatest strength I’ve witnessed
And I’ve felt the roar of lions
The enemy rules this world
But your hands hold the galaxies
And the heavens are held up on your wings
The destroyer plays with deceiving shadows
But you teach the light that’s true
You have the love that draws the stray to you
Lord, Father, Savior, Teacher, abba Father teach me too
I give you questions and praise
You give me second chances and grace
I give you faith and trust
You breathe life into this pile of dust
It’s not my will to hang on to You
It’s your will to carry me
And you’ve got the biggest arms I’ve ever seen
And I’ve the arms of giants
You heal my wounds and broken heart
You give me the greatest strength I’ve witnessed
And I’ve felt the roar of lions
You’ve given me the wisdom
And otherworldly strength
To realize that I’ve been leaning on you
So I can stand on my own.
It’s not my will to hang on to You
It’s your will to carry me
And you’ve got the biggest arms I’ve ever seen
And I’ve the arms of giants
You heal my wounds and broken heart
You give me the greatest strength I’ve witnessed
And I’ve felt the roar of lions
You’ve given me strength
Again and again
So I could fly
In this life that was never mine.
I Don’t Deserve This
I shake my fists
I scream at heaven
Dear God I keep yellin’
What did I do to deserve this
I was a pile of dust
Sinful ash
Then you gave my heart a bath
And now I fly with the fire of the horizon
I don’t deserve this
If I could just curb it
I just don’t believe
That you were broke for me
There’s no changing history
Now that it’s a part of me
I don’t understand
How you carry the world in your hands
Then shoulder my boulders and carry me to the promised land
The same voice that taught the sun to rise
Removes every shred of pain from my eyes
With a few words of boundless grace and the love that could never die
The power that conquered death
Has a purpose for every breath
I don’t deserve this
If I could just curb it
I just don’t believe
That you were broke for me
There’s no changing history
Now that it’s a part of me
There’s a strength
To run this world’s length
There’s a kindness
To shine light into the blindness
There’s a grace
To overthrow death’s old chains
Your love, your mercy
Oh God above, I don’t deserve this
Howling with the Wolves
I thought I was normal
I thought I had everything
I thought my life was fine
Then the devil swept in
He took back what I never had
He revealed his tricks and lies
Like a swarm of rats hiding in the shadows
Like a thief in the night
