Phil Wickham Album

When the first light brightened the dark
Before the breaking of the human heart
There was You and there was me
Innocence was all I knew
'Cause all I had to know was You
We were running underneath the trees

I wanna see you face to face
Where being in your arms is the permanent state
I want it like it was back then
I wanna be in Eden

I remember how You'd call my name
And I would meet You at the garden gate
How the glory of Your love would shine
And I remember when the stars were young
You breathed life into my lungs
Oh I never felt so alive

I wanna see you face to face
Where being in your arms is the permanent state
I want it like it was back then
I wanna be in Eden

To be naked and unashamed
In a sweet down pour of innocent rain
I want it like it was back then
I wanna be in Eden

Where my eyes can see the colors of glory
My hands can reach the heaven before me
Oh, my God I wanna be there with You
Where our hearts will beat with joy together
And love will reign forever and ever
Oh my God I wanna be there with You

I wanna see you face to face
Where being in your arms is the permanent state
I want it like it was back then
I wanna be in Eden

To be naked and unashamed
In a sweet down pour of innocent rain
I want it like it was back then
I wanna be in Eden

I see a battle of love
Lifted over our heads
It's waving in the sky and it's stained in red

From the far away hills
Come the voice in the night
It's ringing in our hearts like a battle cry

Now we're coming alive
We're coming alive
Open your hearts, take what's inside and let it go

We're speaking out for a change
But words are never enough
We could be the hands and the feet of love

You, me, love

Now we're coming alive
Yeah we're coming alive
Open your hearts, take what's inside and let it go

Wake up from your sleeping
Theres something to believe in
The only way to love is to give yourself
Oh-oh-oh give your self

Now we're coming alive
We're coming alive
Open your hearts, take what's inside and let it go

Coming alive
We're coming alive
Open your hearts, take what's inside and let it go

Open your hearts, take what's inside, come on!
Open your hearts, take what's inside and let it go

This is the line we're choosing now to cross
Between heaven and earth, heaven and earth
You're wiping away the tears that start to drop
From my face, from my face.

I'm climbing the fences, I'm crossing the sea, I'll cover the distance,
I just want you to shine on me.

My beating heart is bursting out my skin
To go further up and further in.
Whatever it takes to bring me somewhere higher
Be it rain or be it fire.

I'm climbing the fences, I'm crossing the sea, I'll cover the distance,
I just want you to shine on me.
I'm laying down my life, cause I know what You're worth.
I'm crossing the great line between heaven and earth between heaven and earth.

I hear you calling me and I'll come running, oh I'm falling into love and nothing will stop it, oh I hear you calling me and I'll come running!

I'm climbing the fences, I'm crossing the sea, I'll cover the distance,
I just want you to shine on me.
I'm laying down my life, cause I know what You're worth.
I'm crossing the great line between heaven and earth between heaven and earth.

We're gonna make it, we're gonna make it.

I hear you calling me and I'll come running, oh I'm falling into love and nothing will stop it, oh I hear you calling me and I'll come running to You, to You, to You!

VERSE 1:
The battle line is drawn, it's all in black and white.
Hope is pulling forward, can feel it from behind, it's time.
It's time to make a move, so what will you decide?
The clock is ticking on, don't let it pass you by, it's time.
It's time.
CHORUS:
The time is now, for lifting souls.
The time is now, for letting go.
From your skin, to your core.
Let light, and love, come rushing through the door.
Oh, come rushing through the door.
BRIDGE 1:
You've learned every song, memorized the verse,
took the bread and wine, and even bought the shirt,
it's time.
VERSE 2:
it's time to hold your shield,
it's time to draw your sword,
let's lead the resistance,
oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lord, it's time.
Yeah it's time.
CHORUS:
The time is now, for lifting souls.
The time is now, for letting go.
From your skin, to your core.
Let light, and love, come rushing through the door.

BRIDGE 2:
It's time to make a stand, to put your heart in greater hands,
from your skin, to your core,
Let light, and love, come rushing through the door.
VERSE 3:
Sisters, Brothers, thieves, and lovers,
come on, come on, eternity
turn your faces, with fine eyed places,
heaven's grace will set you free.
CHORUS:
The time is now, for lifting souls.
The time is now, for letting go.
From your skin, to your core.
Let light, and love, come rushing through the door.
BRIDGE 2:
It's time to make a stand, to put your heart in greater hands,
from your skin, to your core,
Let light, and love, come rushing through the door.
instrumental (Strings)
Oh, come rushing through the door...

There is a battle in the distance
I see it flashing in the sky
It's gonna be a long, long night
All that was holding you together
is crumbling apart
and left you with an aching heart
take my hand, here I am

Love is gonna make it right
Just hold on, just hold on
There's mercy in the morning light
When you're weak love is strong
Hold on

There is a river in the desert
I feel the winds about to change
And you won't ever be the same
I'm gonna carry you through fire
I'm gonna hold you in the rain
You don't have to be afraid
Take my hand
Here I am

Love is gonna make it right
Just hold on, just hold on
There's mercy in the morning light
When you're weak love is strong
Hold on

Everybody lift your eyes
Morning light has finally come

And love is gonna make it right
Just hold on, just hold on
There's mercy in the morning light
When you're weak love is strong
Hold on.

(Featuring Bart Millard)

Verse:
To the one who's dreams are falling all apart
And all you're left with is a tired and broken heart
I can tell by your eyes you think your on your own
but you're not all alone

Have you heard of the One who can calm the raging seas
Give sight to the blind, pull the lame up to their feet
With a love so strong and never let you go
oh you're not alone

Chorus:
You will be safe in His arms
You will be safe in His arms
'Cause the hands that hold the world are holding your heart
This is the promise He made
He will be with You always
When everything is falling apart
You will be safe in His arms

Verse 2:
Did you know that the voice that brings the dead to life
Is the very same voice that calls you to rise
So hear Him now He's calling you home
You will never be alone

Bridge:
These are the hands that built the mountains
the hands that calm the seas
These are the arms that hold the heavens
they are holding you and me

These are hands that healed the leper
Pulled the lame up to their feet
These are the arms that were nailed to a cross
to break our chains and set us free

In a world that is falling apart, I have found my hope
Cause the power that brightens the stars, brought to life my soul
Now im calling from roof tops, shouting from mountain peeks
You're everything to me

Forever I'll tell you
Yeah I'll scream until it hurts
That I can't live without you
You are Heaven I am Earth
And even from the moment that you saved my life
That I'll always love you

Hallelujah the battle is won let the church bells ring
Hallelujah salvation has come and it came for me
What was lost now is found, yeah the heart that was bound is free
Your grace amazes me

Forever I'll tell you
Yeah I'll scream until it hurts
That I can't live without you
You are Heaven I am Earth
And even from the moment that you saved my life
That I'll always love you

Oh the glorious day when we arrive
And Heaven's gates are opened wide
All our fear and pain will fade away
When we see You
Face to face

Our Great and Awesome King
You will reign in brilliant light
Forever glorified
In Your city
And we
Your daughters and Your sons
Will see the kingdom come
In Your city

Love will rain and joy will have no end
When the saints go marching in
God we pray that You come soon
'Cause we were made
To be with You

Our Great and Awesome King
You will reign in brilliant light
Forever glorified
In Your city
And we
Your daughters and Your sons
Will see the kingdom come
In Your city

When we've been there for ten thousand years
Our song will be the same
Praise to the One who has brought us here
Jesus is His name
Jesus is His name

You will reign in brilliant light
Forever glorified
In Your city
We
Your daughters and Your sons
Will see the kingdom come
In Your city
My city
This is Your city
My city

Here in the final hour
Hope lifts the tired eyes
Here now we are waiting
For You to arrive
Great things are set in motion
The sky break with a trumpet sound
You call all Your children
To meet You in the clouds

We are waiting
Atticipating

i'm walking through the bright white gates
breathing in and out your grace
all around me melodies rise
that echo with the joy inside
so i start to sing
but i cant sing loud enough
i can't sing loud enough
when i'm singing for You my God
i can't sing loud enough
i can't sing loud enough
when i'm singing for You my God
with a thunder roll and a brilliant light
your glory boasts and the heavens shine
the saints and angels stand in awe
captured by the beauty of it all
so i fall to my knees
but i can't bow low enough
i can't bow low enough
at the vision of You my God
i can't bow low enough
i can't bow low enough
at the vision of You my God
i can't hold it all inside
i'm reaching for the One who brought me out of death and into life
but i can't lift my hands high enough
life my hands high enough
when i'm reaching for You my God
i can't lift my hands high enough
life my hands high enough
when i'm reaching for You my God
oh i'm reaching for You my God
i'm reaching for You
i'm reaching for You
i'm reaching for You my God

You wrote a letter and You signed your name
I read every word of it page by page
You said that You'd be coming, coming for me soon
Oh my God I'll be ready for You

I want to run on greener pastures
I want to dance on higher hills
I want to drink from sweeter waters
In the misty morning chill
And my soul is getting restless
For the place where I belong
I can't wait to join the angels and sing my heaven song

I hear Your voice and I catch my breath
'Well done my child, enter in and rest'
Tears of joy roll down my cheek
It's beautiful beyond my wildest dreams

I want to run on greener pastures
I want to dance on higher hills
I want to drink from sweeter waters
In the misty morning chill
And my soul is getting restless
For the place where I belong
I can't wait to join the angels and sing...

I want to run on greener pastures
I want to dance on higher hills
I want to drink from sweeter waters
In the misty morning chill
And my soul is getting restless
For the place where I belong
I can't wait to join the angels and sing
No, I cant wait to join the angels and sing my heaven song
