Verse 1:
He wakes up every day the same
Believing he's gonna make a change
Never wonders "if" but "when"
I guarantee he can find a way
To reach out and make somebody's day
'Cause someone took the time with him

Pre-Chorus 1:
He believes it's the little things
That make a great big change

Chorus:
Hey Mr. Lovewell
Doing today what you do every day
No matter how small believing it's all the same
Come on, Mr. Lovewell
Oh we could use a few more just like you
Who care enough to give this life away
'Cause you've been changed
The generous Mr. Lovewell loves today

Verse 2:
It may be a simple, "How do you do?"
The king of thing that can pull them through
A minute or two can mean so much
Or maybe it's the one across the street
He's asking if there's anything they need
'Cause they will know us by our love

Pre-Chorus 2:
It may not mean that much to him
But it's the world to them

Bridge:
We all need more Mr. Lovewells

I'm not about to give up
Because I heard you say
There's gonna be brighter days
There's gonna be brighter days
I wont stop, Ill keep my head up
No, I'm not here to stay
There's gonna be brighter days
There's gonna be brighter days

I just might bend but wont break
As long as I can see your face

[Chorus]
When life wont play along
And right keeps going wrong
And I cant seem to find my way
I know where I am found
So I wont let it drag me down
Oh, I'll keep dancing anyway

I'm gonna move (move)
I'm gonna move (move)
I'm gonna move

Ive got to hold 'er steady
Keep my head in the cage
Everything is about to change
Everything is about to change

This hurt is getting heavy
But I'm not about to cave
Everything's about to change
There's gonna be brighter days

I just might bend but wont break
As long as I can see your face

[Chorus]

No matter what may come
Gotta move to a different drum
No matter what life brings
Gotta move gotta move to a different beat [x2]

I just might bend but wont break
As long as I can see your face

[Chorus x2]

Call me crazy but what if we learn
To love our brother for nothing in return
Oh how the rules would change

Reaching out to the ones who need help
Treating them as you first would treat yourself
Now that would be insane

It may just be crazy enough
To work if we could only love
What if we somehow changed the world
It may just be crazy enough

Is it so strange to think that one day
We will truly see everyone the same
Oh could we be so kind

To sing along when life's playing their tune
To cry with them when their hearts broken in two
And have I lost my mind

It may just be crazy enough
To work if we could only love
What if we somehow changed the world
It may just be crazy enough

Oh, have I gone mad
Believing that love
Still has a chance

It may just be crazy enough
To work if we could only love
What if we somehow changed the world
It may just be crazy enough

It may just be crazy enough
To work if we could only love
What if we somehow changed the world
It may just be crazy enough
It may just be crazy enough
It may just be crazy enough

Separated until the veil was torn
The moment that hope was born
and guilt was pardoned once and for all

Captivated but no longer bound by chains
left at an empty grave
the sinner and the sacred resolved

[chorus:]
and all of creation sing with me now
lift up your voice and lay your burden down
and all of creation sing with me now
fill up the heavens let his glory resound

Time has faded and we see him face to face
every doubt erased forever we will worhip the king

[repeat chorus]

ohh ah ohhh...ohh ah ohhh

the reason we breathe is to sing of his glory
and for all he has done praise the father praise the son and the spirit in one

[repeat chorus 2x]

and every knee will bow oh and every tongue praise the father praise the son and the spirit in one

From the top of the world I will sing
Of the joy that flows from my glorious King
And in my heart
Oh I can see
Your loving arms coming down to me

From the top of the world I will sing
Of the joy that flows from my glorious King
And in my heart
Oh I can see
Your loving arms coming down to me

And by Your blood that washed over me
By Your grace that came down to kiss me
You have cleaned my heart and my soul
For Your glory You made me
Made me beautiful

From the top of the world I will sing
Of the joy that flows from my glorious King
And in my heart
Oh I can see
Your loving arms coming down to me

And by Your blood that washed over me
By Your grace that came down to kiss me
You have cleaned my heart and my soul
For Your glory You made me
Made me beautiful

Giver of grace, filler of souls, anointed One
bring Your healing upon us
Giver of grace, filler of souls, anointed One
coming soon again

Nobody said it would be easy
Nobody said that life's a breeze
Tossin' and turnin', oh the wind keeps churnin'
Like I'm a little toy boat out on the sea

If I'm down don't count me out
I'll slowly get back on my feet
Stumblin' and fumblin', but I keep on coming
Just as long as you're not giving up on me

When I trip, I fall and slow down to a crawl
And feel like I've got nothing left to lose
I may slip, slide, and watch our worlds collide
But I will
Hit the ground running back to you

There are days my head is spinning
Wishing I could hit the switch and end this ride
If it came to a stop and someone let me off I know
I would just get right back in line

When I trip, I fall and slow down to a crawl
And feel like I've got nothing left to lose
I may slip, slide, and watch our worlds collide
But I will
Hit the ground running back to you

What kind of love would say
I love you anyway
Oh, time and time again

When I trip, I fall and slow down to a crawl
And feel like I've got nothing left to lose
I may slip, slide, and watch our worlds collide
But I will
Hit the ground running back to you
I will
Hit the ground running back to you

I may slip, slide and watch our worlds collide
But I will, yes I will
Hit the ground running back to you
I hit the ground running back to you

I hit the ground, crashing down, rolling round
But I rebound, I get back up and I'll be found
Running, running back to you

I'm running back to you
Back to you
Back to you
Back to you
Running back to you

Verse 1:
Only One never having a beginning
Only One who reigns when everything is ending
High above
Glorious and true

Pre-Chorus:
We sing, Holy, the only uncreated One
Holy, the Light that was before the sun
You shine
And even when the stars have left the sky

Chorus:
You remain
Even when the earth is shaken
You remain
Even when our kings have fallen
Every mountain standing tall will crash into the sea
You were, You are, You will be
Only You remain

Verse 2:
Only One who stood before the universe
Only One authored life with just a word
Lord of all
There is none like You

Bridge:
Eternal
Immortal
Forever the same
(You remain)

Verse 1:
I look around inside these four walls
And I can see this is not my home
Can you hear it now?
From inside these stone walls
My heart cries out
"I'm not where I belong"

Pre-Chorus:
No matter what they do
My heart belongs to You

Chorus:
I am free
The hands that hold the world have set me free
He has broken every chain
So I lift my hands up to the One who saves

Verse 2:
Take me captive
You can lock me away
But my debt is already paid
Take me prisoner
But I will no fear
'Cause my Deliverer is already here

Interlude:
Ohhhh...

Bridge:
This world can have its way
Nothing can stop Your glory
What may become of me
I'll overcome because I'm free

[Verse 1:]
When you fall asleep tonight
In your warm and cozy room
Know that I'm awake
And I've got no shelter and no food

[Pre-Chorus 1:]
I am not alone
My friends are broke and lost
Looking for someone to lead them to my cross
I need your help, I need your help

[Chorus 1:]
Won't you be My voice calling
Won't you be My hands healing
Won't you be My feet walking into a broken world
Won't you be My chain-breaker
Won't you be My peacemaker
Won't you be My hope and joy
Won't you be My Love

[Verse 2:]
The other side of the world
She is just a few days old
A helpless little girl
With no family of her own

[Pre-Chorus 2:]
She is not to blame for the journey she is on
Her life is no mistake
Won't you lead her to My cross?

[Chorus 1:]
Won't you be My voice calling
Won't you be My hands healing
Won't you be My feet walking into a broken world
Won't you be My chain-breaker
Won't you be My peacemaker
Won't you be My hope and joy
Won't you be My Love

[Bridge:]
To those I call My own
To those I've set aside
As spotless without blame
The chosen ones My bride

[Chorus 2:]
We will be Your voice calling
We will be Your hands healing
We will be Your feet walking into a broken world
We will be Your chain-breaker
We will be Your peacemaker
We will be Your hope and joy
We will be Your love

I can be there for you
When it can't get much harder
I can cover your head
When life starts to rain

I can hold on tight
When it feels like you're falling
I can bread-crumb the path
When you've lost your way

I can make you laugh
When the whole world is crying
I can build you up
When you're broken in shame

But if all that we do
Is absent of Jesus
Then this so called love
Is completely in vain
