Newsboys Album

Turn the page.
Can't turn the light out.
Every word, every line
Carries to my soul.
Dark letters on a page
Singing so loud.
Where did I go wrong
Not to hear You?

Eighteen years,
I guess it was all right.
I let You do the thinking,
I'd just bide my time.
Father to son
Sunday hand-me-down.
Where did I go wrong
Not to hear Your song?

It's a beautiful sound
Moving through the crowd.
Voices lifted up
On high for You.

It's a beautiful song.
We've only just begun to understand.
Rediscovering You.

To have found You, and still be looking for You,
It's "the soul's paradox of love."
You fill my cup, I lift it up for more.
I won't stop now that I'm free.
I'll be chasing You
Like You chase me.

It's a beautiful sound
Moving through the crowd.
Voices lifted up
On high for You.

It's a beautiful song.
We've only just begun to understand.
Rediscovering You.

Oh, something so beautiful.

It's a beautiful sound
Moving through the crowd.
Voices lifted up
On high for You.

It's a beautiful song.
We've only just begun to understand.
Rediscovering You.

It's a beautiful sound
Moving through the crowd.
Voices lifted up
On high for You.

It's a beautiful song.
We've only just begun to understand.
Rediscovering You.

It's a beautiful sound
Moving through the crowd.
Voices lifted up
On high for You.

It's a beautiful song.
We've only just begun to understand.
Rediscovering You.

Something tells me it's all right.
You know it's gonna be all right.

And if I told you there's somebody who loves you
would you say, hey, show me that face
and if I told you that true freedom was actual
would you say, hey, take me to that place

and if I said there is a family
a body that moves as one
oh do you feel the LOVE that invites us,
the LIBERTY that excites us
the DISCO has just begun
it's just begun

- Chorus -
give me love, give me liberty, disco
the place everybody in the family's found
on that day, we will all be happy people
when love, liberty, disco's in town

and as we step into in the light of the lover
we're all the same, there's no rich or poor
and, you know it's never been good for a man to be alone
so come on in your name's on the door
what are we waiting for?

- Chorus -

all our fears are turning 'round
fall down and meet your maker
where our true selves we'll be found
callin' out to every lonely soul

- Chorus (5x) -

i wanna go higher, higher
set it free
there's gotta be more to touch
than what i see
there's a reason we must be
for the love of God, speak it to me

good news for the modern man, yes it is
made by the creator's hands, yes he is
confirmed just who i am
here i stand
the forever man

it's gotta be higher, higher
let it be
carry on from this life's brevity
when this mortal coil is twisting
with the love of mercy carry me

sometimes we lose our sight
open our eyes
no secret here
heaven is near

good news for the modern man, yes it is
eternity in the heart of every man
confirmed just who i am
here i stand
the forever man

and the longer i live
the stronger i feel a creator put us here
and the day will come, gravity will run
and we'll meet you in the air
where face to face we will wonder
as the mysteries come undone
and at the end of all our travels
we find our journey's just begun

here i stand
it's who i am
here i stand
forever man

if i tell you something you need to know
i gotta back it up
i gotta let it show
we could be so loud
if we could write a song that makes us all proud
but without love
it's just a sound

everybody show what we know
and let the good stuff flow
everybody show what we know
and let the good stuff flow

i could speak with tongues of Angels
apologetics in a slick rhetoric
either way without love my words are dead
we have love
we have forgiveness
we have grace without a limit
so if it has been revealed to us
should it not then be contagious?

we got the rhythm
we got the rhyme
print up a t-shirt
throw them a line

but without love we are nothing

find yourself
ya' darkest enemy
you've given up
on what you thought you'd be
Your plans were made
nothing's really changed
be planning on one thing
you're loved just the same

when it all comes 'round
everyone's someone
when it all comes 'round
everyone's someone

kinda look old
like a man with everything
give it all for something real
no you can't take it with you
nothing's forged, nothing's new
do i imagine being you
maker of the rain
lets it fall the same
on me and you

When it all comes down
Everyone's someone

no matter who you are
no matter where you run to
no matter what you do
what you're going through

you've been looking for shelter
on a cloudless day, there's no rain
you're keeping pennies in your pocket
for a bottle full of spare change, just in case
and if the glass ain't half empty then it's broken
it helps you escape from the pain
you throw the baby with the bath water
over and over again
turn the page

you say you need love
tell me where does that get you
when push comes to shove
who you gonna run to
turn your eyes above
he unconditionally loves you
nothing you can say or do
will change his love for you

heard it said you're an accident, biological mistake
so you're a love child, who could say it better
a physical grace, a perfect display

has someone you trusted left you betrayed
has someone who loved you thrown love away
do you see God? does he have a face?
looks like your father's, how does it relate?
you're scared of being let down
tell me

don't be afraid
don't shy away
he'll never leave you
he won't forsake
don't be afraid
don't shy away
he's not gonna leave you

i would give everything
to give nothing more
i would give everything
to give nothing more

walk outside you're standing in the rain
eyes collide we both know i'm to blame
see me cry feel like judas for awhile
absolution i'm feeling so tired

bygones by you took away the blame
this humanity haunts me
everyday i feel ashamed

how long till everything is new
how long till our bodies are renewed
how long till we see you face to face
how long till we reach that perfect place

Don't go thinking I'm crazy
But my fear is it's too late
Won't go making no trouble
Cause I feel like I could break

All of those times I ran away
From all of those things I used to say
All of those plans I had
To give it all

And I feel like I could break
And I feel like I could break
Now it's more than I can take
And I feel like I could break

Don't go thinking I'm crazy
But I'm feeling Your heart ache
Your creation through Your eyes
There is pain
It's no mistake
The closer I get to You I see
Soul's full of hurt
Full of need
The closer I get I see
Less of me

And I feel like I could break
And I feel like I could break
Lord I know it's getting late
Let my heart be broken by Your heart ache

And I feel like I could break
Now it's more than I can take

Cause all of those times I ran away
From all of those things I used to say
And all of those pains I feel
Reveal to me

I feel like I could break
And I feel like I could break
Now it's more than I can take
Let my heart be broken by Your heart ache

Cause I feel like I could break
And I feel like I coul break
Lord I know it's getting late
Let my heart be broken by Your heart ache

Don't go think I'm crazy
But I feel like.....

i surrender all
to the promises you made
and i will give it all
to the maker of the day

no one knows your heart
and no one knows your fears
when no one solves the mysteries
or even wipes away the tears

Chorus:
i surrender all
to the promises you made
and i will give it all
to the maker of the day

can you hear the sound of laughter
from the other side of life?
there are days when i feel like a stranger sometimes
tell me, are there any other fools like me?

(Chorus)

this reliance on another world
has a great effect on this world
this conscience of another world
has a great effect on
grace recollection

he doesn't love us 'cause of who we are
he only loves us 'cause of who he is (x2)

(chorus)

we all were children once
so will we return
so let those days return
let us all return …

seen it all
heard the talk
heart unturned
watch you leaving

some things have to fall on you
some things have to fall on you

i lift you up
pray for grace
love you more
still you run away
and …

what makes a man aware of his need
is it by faith, by words or by deed
for your heart to be broken, to truly be sent home
some things have to fall on you

spirit saves
letter kills
plant the seed
i'll be waiting

some things have to fall on you
spirit has to fall
it's true
