You gave me love, Oh Lord
When I was so unlovable
You gave me peace, Oh Lord
When I was so restless
You gave me a joyful song to sing
When I was so downhearted

Chorus
You gave me life
You are the Lifegiver
You are the Lifegiver

You brought me water to drink
When my throat was parched from the sun
You gave me grace, Sweet Jesus
When I was dead in my transgressions
You gave me brothers and sisters to come along side
Me when I just can't go on, I just can't go on
You give me everything I need
You give me everything I need

Chorus 2x

You gave me love, Oh Lord
When I was so unlovable

Chorus 3x

The things I want are tearing me apart
I knew this from the start
They're daggers to Your heart
Though I desire to trade my will with Yours
I'm shutting open doors and crawling on all fours
I need Your touch, open my eyes
Cut me down to size, I'm dying to rise

Chorus
I promised I'd be less and let You be more
In my attempt to do what I have read
To die is gain, I want to serve the One I adore
But it appears there's too much overhead

I'd rather stay than give my life away
The life that I have made, a price I just can't pay
So I ignore Your calling from the shore
You offer so much more but the cost I can't afford
Short-sighted eyes, my spirit's demise
Listening to lies, dying to rise

Chorus

I need Your touch, open my eyes
Cut me down to size, I'm dying to rise

Chorus

The thunder echoes
From the mountains to the waves
Sometimes I wish I could tell the clouds to behave
Calm the stormy seas
Just by stretching out my hand
But I am just a man, only a man, so I'm…

Chorus
Praying for sunny days to return to me
Seeking the warmth of the solar rays
I'm not just seeing the gray skies in front of me
Praying for sunny days

This torrential downpour has my brain in a trance
I'd get up and move but I just can't dance
Lord, You know that I've done all I can
But I am just a man, only a man, so I'm…

Chorus

Rain, rain, go away, I have faith that you won't stay
I don't care what doubters say
Sunny days will come my way
Then the birds come out to play
By the light of one sun ray
Now I kneel me down to pray,
"Please, God give me sunny days"

Chorus

There will come a time when the skies will open
There will come a time
When all men's hearts are broken
The return of my King draws near
The footsteps of His horses I can almost hear
Pledge to follow Him hereafter
Trade my sorrow for His laughter
O, My Lord don't be too long

Chorus
I'm waiting, watching and I'm wondering
Will You carry us
Right past the lightning and the thundering
In Your Chariot?
I'm waiting, watching and I'm wondering
Will You carry us to Your throne above
In Your Chariot?

There will come a time when the blind will see
There will come a time
When the captives are set free
And all the dead in Christ will arise
My Lord and Redeemer
Will descend from the skies
Pledge to follow Him hereafter
Trade my sorrow for His laughter
O, My Lord don't be too long

Chorus

Swing lo, sweet Chariot
Coming for' to carry me home.
Carry me home!

Searching for my place in this world
Getting lost over and over again
Casting lustrous pearls
Yet you protected my heart
You never let me stray too far
You knew I couldn't pull myself out
By the strength of my arms

Chorus
You've got me right where you want me
You took me and put me in my place
You've got me right where you want me
And I never felt better

All of my words were profane
The only time I called Your Name I took it in vain
Yet You heard my cry, even though I lived a lie
You new that I would be Your servant
'Til the day that I die

Chorus 3x

You've got me right where you want me
You've got me right where you want me
You've got me right where you want me

[No lyrics]

I was afraid to let You in
Would I break Your heart again?
So many times before
I could not keep my promises
But You were dying to forgive
You gave Your life for me to live
And now I know it's time to find out
Who I am in Your eyes, in Your eyes

Come in my heart, come in my home
Come in, You're welcome at Your throne
Come in and take control
I know that I need You to rule my life

Chorus
Free me from within
I am ready for my new life to begin
Take me from this place
Oh Lord I seek Your face, I seek Your face

I've been a fool I've been wrong
I've been alone for too long
I've been thinking that it's time I apologize
You've given life, You've given love
You've given all I can think of
You've given me the time to find out
Who I am in Your eyes

Chorus

I'm falling in again
I don't remember when life was any better
I just need to be held, I'm feeling overwhelmed
Cuz life is so much better
This life is so much better

Free me from within
I am ready for my new life to begin
Take me from this place
Oh Lord I seek Your face
I seek Your face

Conviction stirs within
This is how repentance begins
As He draws me in
I'm sheltered from the wages of my sin

Chorus
With open arms He's welcoming me home
Even though no righteousness I've shown
I am spared by mercy, child of His grace
Received into His favor despite my selfish ways
I am spared by mercy, child of His grace
Received into His favor despite my selfish ways

When I go my way
His perfect will for me my heart evades
He devises ways to bring me
Back into His love's embrace

Chorus

He sentenced His only Son to die by our hands
The price for our sin could not be paid by man
Until He returns and His glory fills the land
For the Lord I will stand

I am spared by mercy, child of His grace
Received into His favor despite my selfish ways
I am spared by mercy, child of His grace
Received into His favor despite my selfish ways

I've been fightin' the good fight
I got the enemy in my sights
And I will never give up until it's over
Ain't gonna see me runnin'
Ain't gonna see me fallin' back
Cuz I will never give up until it's over
I've been fightin the good fight
I got the enemy in my sights
And I will never give up until it's over

Chorus
I fight the good fight, no I can't be deceived
I'd take a bullet for what I believe
No single weapon formed against me will stand
Victory is ours, only One is in command
He's in command

I've been fightin the good fight
I got the enemy in my sights
And I will never give up until it's over
You might see me cryin
But you ain't gonna see me fallin back
Cuz I will never give up until it's over, no, no

Chorus 2x

I've been fightin' the good fight
I got the enemy in my sights
And I will never give up until it's over
Ain't gonna see me runnin'
Ain't gonna see me fallin' back
Cuz I will never give up until it's over
I've been fightin the good fight
I got the enemy in my sights
And I will never give up until it's over

Chorus
I fight the good fight, no I can't be deceived
I'd take a bullet for what I believe
No single weapon formed against me will stand
Victory is ours, only One is in command
He's in command

I've been fightin the good fight
I got the enemy in my sights
And I will never give up until it's over
You might see me cryin
But you ain't gonna see me fallin back
Cuz I will never give up until it's over, no, no

Chorus 2x
