Staring at this empty canvas,
waiting for the next stroke of my life.
It seems to go by so fast.
Another day I've wasted wondering,
How it all ends up instead of resting,
that it's all in Your hands.
My only piece is waiting before You.
My praise to You,
Drowning noise around me.
[Chorus:]
I wish I could slow down time,
I wish I could wait here at your feet.
'Cause with you is the only place that I wanna be.
I know I should take it all in stride.
I know you are there with every reach.
'Cause with you is the only place that I wanna be.
On my own I always fade out fast,
On the run my every step will last.
I'm resting in your words that never fail.
Your searching every part of me.
I need to stop so I could hear You speak.
I long for you so here I am so thirsty.
My only piece is waiting before You.
My praise to You,
Drowning the noise around me.
[Chorus]
It's where I wanna be,
The greatness of your presence always leaving me here speechless.
I've given up on making this life my home.
In the fullness of your glory is beyond my comprehension.
There's no greater joy then being with you my King.
[Chorus x2]
. . .

You search inside the deepest parts
You radiate the darkness in my heart
I can't hide no more
You took this life that once was frail
And gave a strength where hopelessness won't prevail
And there's life more abundantly
Your beauty Lord I know it captures me
Your sweet embrace it brings me to my knees
Oh you capture me oh Lord you capture me
You opened up my heart and made a home in me
You lifted up the weight the world has placed on me
Oh you capture me oh Lord you capture me
You brought me joy that words can't speak
You gave a truth where lies will never reach
I won't fight no more
You gave me peace from this life of fear
Never alone at every grasp you were near
Now there's life more abundantly
I can feel your touch, I can feel your heart
And your fullness flowing over
Your waves of mercy over me
Your beauty Lord I know it captures me
Your sweet embrace it brings me to my knees
Oh the love you show it pours all over me
Oh you capture me oh Lord you capture me
You opened up my heart and made a home in me
You lifted up the weight the world has placed on me
Oh you capture me oh Lord you capture me

Speaking Louder Than Before
Hear now this declaration
From out across the nations
We need to wake up and understand
Many hurting hearts are crying
But our voices seem to be dying
Can you see the battle raging on?
We are the light to reach this world
We are the salt preserving these souls
Let's show them the love that we've received now
We are, we are in desperation
We need to reach this generation
We are speaking louder than before
We are the hope that's been forgotten
We have the love that will be brought and
We are speaking louder than before
Take every chance that you can
Move together taking a stand
Never losing heart, we'll speak as one
We need to be the image of Christ
Show love and serve at all times
We can make a difference in these lands
We are the light to reach this world
We are the salt preserving these souls
Let's show them the love that we've received now
We are, we are in desperation
We need to reach this generation
We are speaking louder than before
We are the hope that's been forgotten
We have the love that will be brought and
We are speaking louder than before
Everything's so surreal
But this urgency I feel
We should be reaching out to all these desperate pleas
Oh, the meek's as cold as you feel (??)
Let's call it revolution
My beating heart is breaking for them
That's why I'm speaking now
That's why I'm speaking now
We are, we are in desperation
We need to reach this generation
We are speaking louder than before
We are the hope that's been forgotten
We are the love that will be brought and
We are speaking louder than before
We are, we are, we're speaking louder
We are, we are, we're speaking louder
We are speaking louder than before
We are speaking louder than before
Oh, yeah
. . .

I try to hold on to this world with everything I have
But I feel the weight of what it brings, and the hurt that tries to grab
The many trials that seem to never end, His word declares this truth,
that we will enter in this rest with wonders anew
But I hold on to this hope and the promise that He brings
That there will be a place with no more suffering
[Chorus]
There will be a day with no more tears, no more pain, and no more fears
There will be a day when the burdens of this place, will be no more, we'll see Jesus face to face
But until that day, we'll hold on to you always
I know the journey seems so long
You feel you're walking on your own
But there has never been a step
Where you've walked out all alone
[Chorus]
Troubled soul don't lose your heart
Cause joy and peace he brings
And the beauty that's in store
Outweighs the hurt of life's sting
I can't wait until that day where the very one I've lived for always will wipe away the sorrow that I've faced
To touch the scars that rescued me from a life of shame and misery this is why this is why I sing
. . .

I try so hard but I always fall short.
So I've Faced the truth of my weakness.
There's nothing good that I can bring forth, but I stand in the strength of Your presence.
I've wasted time always trying to face hings alone, but I wait here now and I lay it all down.
I know who I am and I know I'm not able to stand on my own.
I can't live all alone.
So I'm taking my hands and I'm reaching them out.
And I fall down, I fall down for you.
And I fall down.
In times f brokenness always You show the depth of love that You bring me.
I'm kneeling down in Your presence I know.
Your source of life I'm receiving.
I place myself in Your arms that will always lead me.
And I won't let go caue there's nowhere else to go.
I don't know why the things I want to do I always ran from now,
Because I know apart from You there's nothing I can do where life will become new.
And I know who I am and I know I'm not able to stand on my own.
I can't live all alone.
So I'm taking my hands and I'm reaching them out, and I know that I'll take everything that's in me.
And I fall down, I fall down for you. And I fall down for you.

I felt so overwhelmed with guilt
I don't know how many times that I'd fight it
I'd try it and barely survived it
I fell in the nearest pool of shame
Took the blame and everything that surrounds it
Well i found it and I drowned in it
Oh i never thought that I'd erase this or replace this feeling down
Oh but my whole life changed when you saved me and forgave me now
I'm alive I'm alive like i've never been
Been revived from the lies that were deep within
it's the past now it's the past
Cause Christ has given life where i'll never thirst again
I lost everything I had
But I'm glad cause I would never have found you
Well it rings true the words that spoke through
You've given more than I can say
And I know that I could never repay you but I thank you
I can't wait to embrace you
Oh I spun around for a long time and I always felt so blind
I never thought I could feel it well I feel it now
Oh i can feel it now every time I turn around
Knowing I have been set free from the pain and misery
I will make the most, of this hope I have
. . .

I begin the day with the faith you fashion my ways
And I cannot escape for your hand it leads
Your right hand holds me
When I wake you will be there
When the sun goes down in the night you will be there
My life has been ordained
You have formed this very frame
And I am fearfully made
For I was made in that secret place
How precious are your thoughts all over me
They're more than the sands of the sea
. . .

I have seen the many faces,
I fear in the pain.
I have watched the tears fall plenty,
From heart ache and strength.
So if life's journey, Has you weary and afraid.
There's rest in the shadow of his wings.
I have walked through the valleys,
The mountains and plains.
I have held the hand of freedom,
It washes all my stains.
If you feel the weight of many trials,
And burdens from this world.
There's freedom in the shelter of the Lord.
[Chorus:]
I have seen,
The healing hand of God,
Reaching out and mending broken hearts.
Taste and see the fullness of His peace,
And hold on to what's being held out.
The healing hand of God.
I have touched the scars upon His hands,
To see if they were real.
He has walked the road before me,
He knows just how I feel.
When you feel there is not anyone,
Who understands your pain,
Just remember all of Jesus' suffering.
[Chorus]
Cast all your cares on Him,
For He cares for you.
He's near to the broken and confused.
By His stripes,
Our spirit is renewed.
So enter in the joy prepared for you.
[Chorus]
The healing hand of God [x2]
And hold on to what's being held out [x2]
The healing hand of God
Oh Oh Oh Oh

So many times I've fallen
So many ways I've failed you
So many times I've stepped out on my own
I know I'm undeserving
But I feel You are preserving
The only good that I have shown
The only word that I can bring
Are these very words I sing
To sing to You now
[Chorus]
Cause I am so in love with You
There's nothing else I choose
You've stolen my heart
Yes, I'm all for You
Nothing can separate me
From the grace that You gave free
I know You'll never let me go
Even though You know my frailties
Every single thing about me
You show the greatest love that's known
The only word that I can bring
Are these very words I sing
I sing to You now
[Chorus]
I am so in love with You
There's nothing else I choose
You've stolen my heart
Yes, I'm all for You
[Chorus]
I am so in love with You
There's nothing else I choose
You've stolen my heart
Yes, I'm all for You now
[BRIDGE]
Time and time again You show
The depth and love that You bestow
I never fully understand
It's too great for me to know
But I always try to bring
I try to bring You everything
[Chorus]
I am so in love with You
There's nothing else I choose
You've stolen my heart
Yes, I'm all for you now
[Chorus]
I am so in love with You
There's nothing else I choose
You've stolen my heart
Yes, I'm all for You now
. . .

I can feel it coming over me
All the weight of what this fear can bring
I know on my own I can't survive and I'm fading fast now
I'm closing in on what's in store for me
All the rest in your security
I'm holding on to the words you speak and your speaking clear
I'm running fast to seek your face
Head first i dive into your grace
You are my fortress you are the refuge where i hide
You are the strength when I can't fight
You are the only one I rest my life in
You are the only hope i find
You are my only peace of mind
You are the only one I rest my life in
I'm taking hold of what's in front of me
A place where I can rest my weary feet
There's no other place that I can go so I'm waiting here now
I'm letting go what the world will bring a sanctuary that will never breathe
I found my heart in that place before but I'll never go back
I get lost within that place
The place where I'll always wish I stay
. . .

I felt like I was spinning.
Didn't know what was up from down.
I tried to fix what I had broken.
It was scattered all around.
It seems that every time I try walking by myself,
I end up on my face with nowhere else to go.
So I surrender all my ways.
Take all of these impurities.
I'm giving you this wretched soul.
I'm giving you these insecurites...
Giving you all control.
I'm placing both my feet on the floor
Making sure I won't make that mistake anymore.
I've tasted all the emptiness around me,
And I'm never going back.
I'd set myself up for the lies that this world satisfies,
But you're all that I need.
And I have peace inside
So keep tearing out all of my pride.
Take all of these impurities.
I'm giving you this wretched soul.
I'm giving you these insecurites...
Giving you all control.
I'm taking all my fears and layin' em at your feet now.
I'm resting in the fact that everything is safe now,
When I let go of all the things I know will fade out.
Every word that you have said I know I'll never doubt.
. . .

Purify this tainted soul
I'm tired of living life a fool
Soften up this hardened clay
To be a servant this I pray
A reflection of you I long to be
So your kingdom I will seek
I surrender to your throne
I surrender to your throne
I will make my heart your home
I surrender to your throne
I've taken things I thought my own
Only to reap all I've sown
You've given back the years I've fought
Unending love and grace you've brought
Eternal hope and peace you bring
So forever unto you I will sing
Forever unto you I'll sing
Forever unto you I'll sing
I surrender
Soften up this hardened clay
To be a servant this I pray
. . .
