I waited for you today
But you didn't show
No no.
I needed you today
So where did you go?
You told me to call
Said you'd be there
And though I haven't seen you
Are you still there?

Chorus
I cried out with no reply
And I can't feel you by my side
So I'll hold tight to what I know
You're here and I'm never alone

And though I cannot see you
And I can't explain why
Such a deep reassurance
You've placed in my life.
We cannot separate
'Cause you're part of me.
And though you're invisible
I'll trust the unseen.

Chorus

She couldn't take one more day
Home was more her prison now
Independence called out
She had to get it

A fight was all she needed
To give her reason
She slammed the door with no goodbye
And knew that it was time

Now she's driving to fast
She didn't care to glance behind
And through her tears she laughed
It's time to kiss the past goodbye

I'm finally on my own
Don't try to tell me no
There's so much more for me
Just watch what I will be

Chorus
She walked away
Couldn't say why she was leaving
She walked away
She left all she had believed in

Not a day goes by
For the ones she's left behind
They're always asking "why?"
And thoughts of her consume her mind

God please let her know
The love we tried to show
We'd promise anything
If you'd just bring her home

Chorus

Bridge
Tell her we love her
Tell her she's wanted
And one more thing God
Tell her please, come home
Please, come home

Chorus (2x)

The choice is yours alone now
Tell me how this story....ends

Mirror, Mirror on the wall; Have I got it?
'Cause Mirror you've always told me who I am
I'm finding It's not easy to be perfect
So sorry, you won't define me
Sorry, you don't own me

Chorus
Who are you to tell me
that I'm less than what I should be?
Who are you? Who are you?
I don't need to listen
to the list of things I should do
I won't try; I won't try
You don't define me; You don't define me

Mirror I am seeing a new reflection
I'm looking into the eyes of He who made me
To Him I have beauty beyond compare
I know He defines me

Chorus

My hands hold safely to my dreams
Clutching tightly not one has fallen.
So many years I've shaped each one
Reflecting my heart, showing who I am.
Now you're asking me to show
What I'm holding Oh so tightly.
Can't open my hand; can't let go
Does it matter?
Should I show you?
Can't you let me go?

Chorus
Surrender, surrender
You whisper gently
You say I will be free
I know but can't you see
My dreams are me, My dreams are me

Say you have a plan for me
And that you want the best for my life.
Told me the world has yet to see
What you can do with one
That's committed to your call.
I know of course what I should do
That I can't hold these dreams forever.
But if I give them now to you
Will you take them
Away forever? Or can I dream again?

Yeah I trust in You
I remember times You led me
This time it's bigger now
And I'm afraid You'll let me down

But how can I be certain?
Will You prove Yourself again?

[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm about to let go
And live what I believe
I can't do a thing now
But trust that You'll catch me
When I let go
When I let go

What is this doubt in me
Convincing me to fear the unknown
When all along You've shown
Your plans are better than my own

And I know I won't make it

Why, why are You still here with me
Didn't You see what I've done?
In my shame I want to run and hide myself
But it's here I see the truth
I don't deserve You

[Chorus:]
But I need You to love me, and I
I won't keep my heart from You this time
And I'll stop this pretending that I can
Somehow deserve what I already have
I need You to love me

I, I have wasted so much time
Pushing You away from me
I just never saw how You could cherish me
'Cause You're a God who has all things
And still You want me

Your love makes me forget what I have been
Your love makes me see who I really am

Grey's my favorite color
Black and white has never been my thing
I'll take my drink lukewarm now
Hot and cold is not the thing for me

Absolutes are hidden
I've buried my convictions

[Chorus:]
I cannot be blind no more
Numb to what I'm living for
Help me stop this compromise that justifies these lies
I need Your passion in this life

I don't want to impose
Who really needs to know what I believe
Cause no one likes rockin' boats
And who would care to see the way I see

So give me the fire, yeah
God give me Your fire

Once again I said my goodbyes
To those I love most
My heart feels that familiar pain
As I long for home

'Cause this road is hard
When I feel so far

God I'm crying out tonight
'Cause I've given you my life
But I'm tired and I'm missing what's behind
So once more here's my life

On the day that you've called my name
All that I knew changed
I found when I said yes that I'd never be the same

Though the call is hard
You are worth it all

God I'm crying out tonight
'Cause I've given you my life
But I'm tired and I'm missing what's behind
So once more

Even when the tears are falling
When I find I fear the calling
You remind me
Words you've spoken over my life
Promises I've yet to see
You comfort me

God I'm crying out tonight
'Cause I've given you my life
But I'm tired and I'm missing what's behind
So once more

God I'm crying out tonight
'Cause I've given you my life
But I'm tired and I'm missing what's behind
So once more here's my life

Here We Go
Round one wasn't what thought it'd be
Round two I'm struggling to breathe
3, 4,5,6,7 times I wondered why I stepped inside this ring

I may be knocked down and so bruised
But I'm here to tell you
That I may be knocked down but not for the count
(1, 2, 3, 4)

Chorus:
So take me one more round
I'll just keep fighting
One more round
You're messing me up but I'm still here
One more round
I'll come out swinging
One more round
I'm telling you know I'm not gonna lose it here

It's so hard to get up off the floor again
But I know that victory is when
I'm pushing through the pain that tries to feed me lies that I won't reach theend

I may be knocked down and so bruised
But I'm here to tell you
That I may be knocked down but not for the count
(1, 2, 3, 4)

Chorus:
So take me one more round
I'll just keep fighting
One more round
You're messing me up but I'm still here
One more round
I'll come out swinging
One more round
I'm telling you know I'm not gonna lose it

I am not defeated
Though you cannot see it
I have never won a battle on my own
I find strength in weakness
I find hope in believing
God is for me, who can bring me down?

Chorus:
So take me one more round
I'll just keep fighting
One more round
You're messing me up oh but I'm still here
One more round
I'll come out swinging
One more round
I'm telling you know I'm not gonna lose it here

Tell me who'd have thought that we would be so controversial
And stand up against the normal
Are we too outspoken, loud, and messing up the comfortable
Well we've been messed up also
Yeah, yeah

But how can we be silent
When a fire burns inside of us

Chorus :
'Cause we're a million strong and getting stronger still
They'll remember we here
With a million voices breaking silence till
They'll remember we were here

We were made to start the riot, take on the impossible
And we will slay the giants
We are done with fake religion fighting now to find the movement
Won't stop till we find it

How can we be silent
When a fire burns inside of us

Chorus :
'Cause we're a million strong and getting stronger still
They'll remember we here
With a million voices breaking silence till
They'll remember we were here

We're a million strong and getting stronger still
They'll remember we were here
With a million voices breaking silence till
They'll remember we were here

They'll remember we were here

You will remember
Yes you'll remember

You will remember
Yes you'll remember

Hmmm my Baby
Heaven sent you to me
All the worlds been praying
Who will Save?
But who am I
That here tonight
I hold the one
Who'll Bring us life

Hallelujah,
We've been found
A child is born
To save us now
Hallelujah light has come
A Savior who will set us free
A Promise for those who believe

Do you hear the Angels
Sing for you my baby
Men and kings have come to
Bow to you
But here in my arms

So close to me
The son of God
Now all can see

Hallelujah We've been found
A child is born to save us now
Jesus Halleluiah light has come
A savior set us free

So praise to God on high
He has heard our cry

Verse 1
And hope is getting though this night

Bridge

With you here I know
I don't go alone
I am yours and so
Through the fire I go....

Verse 1
tonight the stars are dancing to the song the angels sing
I hear your whisper on the breeze
and every sound echos the rythym of your heart as I begin to fade into
this lovely night, I'm alive

Chorus
our worlds collide
I'm lost in time, heaven kisses me tonight
your heart with mine,
it beats in time and I know why I am alive

Verse 2
now that I've found you I could never let you go away
you've left my life never the same
sing over me and let me hear the words you wrote for me
Whisper the words that set my spirit free, sing to me

Chorus
our worlds collide
I'm lost in time, heaven kisses me tonight
your heart with mine,
it beats in time and I know why I am alive

Oh Tragedy has taken so many
Love lost cause they all
Forgot who you are
And it scares me to think
That I would choose my life over You

My selfish heart divides me from You
It tears us apart

CHORUS 1:
So tell me
What is our ending?
Will it be beautiful, so beautiful?

Oh, why do I let myself let go
Of hands that painted the stars
And hold tears that fall
And the pride of my heart
Makes me forget

It's not me but You
Who makes the heart beat
I'm lost without You
You dying for me

CHORUS 2:
So tell me
What is our ending?
Will it be beautiful, so beautiful?
Will my life find me by Your side?
Your love is beautiful, so beautiful

At the end of it all
I wanna be in Your arms
(x4)

CHORUS 3:
So tell me
What is our ending?
Will it be beautiful, so beautiful?
Will my life find me by Your side?
Your love is beautiful, so beautiful

Wake up, get up, there's no time to waste now
Never shut up, it's out turn to speak out
These streets are dead, just waiting to come alive

Break down the doors of our comfortable room
Tear down the walls we never could see through
Aren't we sick yet of missing out on life?

Do we want more?
Tell me do we want more?

'Cause we've heard the cry and we've come alive
And we'll fight for love and we'll live to die
Because a life that holds no meaning is like a day without the light
So we've come alive tonight

All have been called but so few have listened
Life is too short you don't want to miss this
Make up our mind before life passes by

Now is the time to wake up and see
This world won't revolve around you and me
So let's be the change we've all been waiting for

Do we want more?
Tell me do we want more?

'Cause we've heard the cry and we've come alive
And we'll fight for love and we'll live to die
Because a life that holds no meaning is like a day without the light
So we've come alive tonight

We are the passion
We are the movement
We are the fire
We'll never lose it

We are the passion
We are the movement
We are the fire
We'll never lose it

'Cause we've heard the cry and we've come alive
And we'll fight for love and we'll live to die
Because a life that holds no meaning is like a day without the light
So we've come alive tonight

Why, why are You still here with me
Didn't You see what I've done?
In my shame I want to run and hide myself
But it's here I see the truth
I don't deserve You

[Chorus:]
But I need You to love me, and I
I won't keep my heart from You this time
And I'll stop this pretending that I can
Somehow deserve what I already have
I need You to love me

I, I have wasted so much time
Pushing You away from me
I just never saw how You could cherish me
'Cause You're a God who has all things
And still You want me

Your love makes me forget what I have been
Your love makes me see who I really am
