Laura Story Album

You give and take away for my good
For who am I to say what I need?
For You alone see the hidden parts of me
that need to be stripped away.

And as You begin to refine
I'm learning to let go and rely
on One who walks with me
As hard as it may be,
You're teaching me all the while to say:

Bless the Lord, Oh my soul
All that's in me bless Your name
Forget not Your power untold
not Your glory or Your fame
For You came to heal the broken
to redeem and make me whole
Bless the Lord, Oh my soul

Immortal, You are not are like a man
That you change Your mind
Or change Your plan
Invisible, our human eyes can't see
The Depths of Your majesty

You're the God of forever and ever amen
The alpha, omega, beginning and end
We sing Hallelujah
We worship in awe
Immortal, invisible God

Immortal, You are not bound by death
You're the living God, my very breath
Invisible You are not bound by space
But Your glory is filling this place
Yes Your glory is filling this place

You're the God of forever and ever amen
The alpha, omega, beginning and end
We sing Hallelujah
We worship in awe
Immortal, invisible God

Immortal yet You once died for me,
To pay my debt to set me free
Invisible You will not always be
Cause You're coming to reign as our king
And the saints will fall down at Your feet

You're the God of forever and ever amen
The alpha, omega, beginning and end
We sing Hallelujah
We worship in awe
Immortal, invisible God

We sing Hallelujah
We worship in awe
Immortal, invisible God
Immortal, invisible God

Everyone needs compassion
A love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me,
Everyone needs forgiveness
The kindness of a saviour,
The hope of nations.

Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My GOD is mighty to save, He is mighty to save,
Forever, author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave,
Jesus conquered the grave.

So take me as you find me,
All my fears and failures,
Fill my life again.
I give my life to follow, Everything I believe in,
Now I surrender,
Yes, I surrender

Saviour, He can move the mountains,
My GOD is mighty to save, He is mighty to save,
Forever, author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave.

Shine your light and let the whole world see,
We're singing for the glory of the risen King, Jesus,
Shine your light and let the whole world see,
We're singing for the glory of the risen King.

Saviour, He can move the mountain,
My GOD is mighty to save, He is mighty to save,
Forever, author of salvation,
He rose and conquered the grave.
Jesus conquered the grave!

You're my saviour, You can move the mountains,
GOD, You are mighty to save, You are mighty to save,
Forever, author of salvation,
You rose and conquered the grave,
Yes, you conquered the grave.

You are mighty to save.

From the highest of heights to the depths of the sea
Creation's revealing Your majesty
From the colors of fall to the fragrance of spring
Every creature unique in the song that it sings
All exclaiming

Indescribable, uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Who has told every lightning bolt where it should go
Or seen heavenly storehouses laden with snow
Who imagined the sun and gives source to its light
Yet conceals it to bring us the coolness of night
None can fathom

Indescribable, uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
All powerful, untamable
Awestruck we fall to our knees as we humbly proclaim
You are amazing God

Indescribable, uncontainable
You placed the stars in the sky and You know them by name
You are amazing God
Incomparable, unchangeable
You see the depths of my heart and You love me the same
You are amazing God

Oh the promises of God,
The rock on which I stand
The Truth to which I cling
His love that knows no bounds
He showers us with grace
Withholding good thing

When I stumble
And my faith is small
I will call your name
Great God who saves

I would have despaired
If I had not believed
That You would come to me
Great God who saves
In my darkest hour
Your mercy and Your power
Are reaching out to me
Great God who saves

Oh the mystery of God,
Who holds all space and time
Yet knows my every need
The vastness of Your power
The strength You give the weak
I soar on eagle's wings

When I stumble
And my faith is small
I will call Your name
Great God who saves

I would have despaired
If I had not believed
That You would come to me
Great God who saves
In my darkest hour
Your mercy and Your power
Are reaching out to me
Great God who saves

And in my pain and in my need
You heard me calling out Your name
When I was blind and could not see
You stepped in and saved a wretch like me
You saved a wretch like me

And I would have despaired
If I had not believed
That You would come to me
Great God who saves
In my darkest hour
Your mercy and Your power
Are reaching out to me
Great God who saves
[repeat]

[Verse 1:]
Lord I come before You
To honor and adore You
For who You are and all that You have done
Lord I am not worthy
My heart is dark and dirty
Still somehow You bid for me to come

[Pre-Chorus:]
So clothe me in humility
Remind me, that I come before a King

[Chorus:]
And there is nothing
There is nothing
More precious, more worthy
May I gaze deeper
May I stand longer
May I press onward to know You Lord

[Verse 2:]
May our time be sweeter
May I be a keeper
Of the promises I make to You in song
Lord may I remember these moments of surrender
And live my life this way from this day on

[Pre-Chorus:]
So clothe me in humility
Remind me, that I come before a King

[Chorus:]
And there is nothing
There is nothing
More precious, more worthy
May I gaze deeper
May I stand longer
May I press onward to know You Lord

[Pre-Chorus:]
So clothe me in humility
Remind me... that I come before a King

[Chorus:]
And there is nothing
There is nothing
More precious, more worthy
May I gaze deeper
May I stand longer
May I press onward to know You Lord

May I press onward to know You Lord

When I'm at the point of breaking at the place where I resign,
When I'm at the stage of shaking my head as I look back on my life,
When I'm halfway through the grieving, but not quite through the ache,
When I cannot see the ending, or which road I'm supposed to take,
All I know to do is lift my hands to You...

[Chorus:]
Take all of my life, all of my life,
And make something beautiful.
I open my hand, trusting Your plan.
Make something beautiful so all will see
Your work in me, as You make something beautiful

When I'm tired of pretending, and I can't recall my lines,
Do I say, I'm barely breathing, or just say, I'm doing fine.
I admit there is a yearning, for the hurting to subside,
But not at the risk of missing what You're doing with my life
All I know to do is lift my hands to You...

[Chorus:]
Take all of my life, all of my life,
And make something beautiful.
I open my hand, trusting Your plan.
Make something beautiful so all will see
Your work in me, as You make something beautiful
Make something beautiful

Cause all I know to do is lift my hands to You.
All I know to do is lift my hands to You.

[Chorus:]
Take all of my life, all of my life,
And make something beautiful.
I open my hand, trusting Your plan.
Make something beautiful
Take all of my life, all of my life,
And make something beautiful.
I open my hand, I'm trusting Your plan.
To make something beautiful, so all will see
Your work in me, as You make something beautiful
Make something beautiful
You make it beautiful

My heart is so proud. My mind is so unfocused.
I see the things You do through me as great things I have done.
And now You gently break me, then lovingly You take me
And hold me as my father and mold me as my maker.

[Chorus:]
I ask you: "How many times will you pick me up,
When I keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory,
How far will forgiveness abound?"
And You answer: " My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face,
You'll walk in the power of My daily sufficient grace."

At times I may grow weak and feel a bit discouraged,
Knowing that someone, somewhere could do a better job.
For who am I to serve You? I know I don't deserve You.
And that's the part that burns in my heart and keeps me hanging on.

[Chorus:]
I ask you: "How many times will you pick me up,
When I keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory,
How far will forgiveness abound?"
And You answer: " My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face,
You'll walk in the power of My daily sufficient grace."
You are so patient with me, Lord.

As I walk with You, I'm learning what Your grace really means.
The price that I could never pay was paid at Calvary.
So, instead of trying to repay You, I'm learning to simply obey You
By giving up my life to you For all that You've given to me.

[Chorus:]
I ask you: "How many times will you pick me up,
When I keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory,
How far will forgiveness abound?"
And You answer: " My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face,
You'll walk in the power of My daily sufficient grace."

[Verse 1:]
When I think of sunlight piercing through the clouds
That paint a perfect sky
I think of the silver lining of Your love
And I think of You
When I think of streams that weave through desert lands
As beauty comes alive
I think of the healing fountain of Your grace in my life
In my life

[Chorus:]
And I think of You who shines with endless light
Through broken jars of clay
And I think of You redeeming every part of each day
That you've made
And I think of you

[Verse 2:]
When I think of children laughing full of wonder
And families reconciled
I think of the joy that's found in answered prayer
And it makes me smile
Makes me smile

[Chorus:]
And I think of You who shines with endless light
Through broken jars of clay
And I think of You redeeming every part of each day
That You've made
And I think of You

[Verse 3:]
For redemption's now that story of my soul
‘Cause it was You who paid the highest price
For broken jars of clay
And You still choose to use my life
For Your glory displayed

[Chorus:]
And I think of You who shines with endless light
Through broken jars of clay
And I think of You redeeming every part of each day
That You've made
And I think of You

I think of You

Stay close by My side
Keep your eyes on Me
Though this life is hard
I will give you perfect peace

In this time of trial
Pain that no one sees
Trust me when I say
That I will give you perfect peace

And you'll never walk alone
And you'll never be in need
Though I may not calm the storms around you
You can hide in Me

Burdens that you bear
Offer no relief
Let Me bear your load
'Cause I will give you perfect peace

Stay close by My side
And you'll never walk alone
Keep your eyes on Me
And you'll never be in need
Though this life is hard
Know that I will always give you perfect peace
I will give you perfect peace
