I woke up in darkness surrounded by silence
Oh where, where have I gone?
I woke to reality losing its grip on me
Oh where, where have I gone?
'Cause I can see the light
Before I see the sun rise

You called and you shouted
Rose to my deafness
Now I'm breathing in and breathing out
I'm alive again
You shattered my darkness
Washed away my blindness
Now I'm breathing in and breathing out
I'm alive again

Late have I loved you
You waited for me, I searched for you
What took me so long?
I was looking outside
As if love would ever want to hide
Finding I was wrong
'Cause I can feel the wind
Before it hits my skin

You called and you shouted
Rose to my deafness
Now I'm breathing in and breathing out
I'm alive again
You shattered my darkness
Washed away my blindness
Now I'm breathing in and breathing out
I'm alive again, I'm alive again

'Cause I want you
Yes, I want you
I need you
And I'll do whatever I have to
Just to get through
'Cause I love you
I love you

You called and you shouted
Rose to my deafness
Now I'm breathing in and breathing out
I'm alive again
You shattered my darkness
Washed away my blindness
Now I'm breathing in and breathing out
I'm alive again

You're not like man
That you should lie
You do not falter
Or change your mind
All that you say
Is what you do
All that you promise
You're seeing through

So we wait on you, lord
And we rise to your voice

The shout of the king, the son of god
Your presence now here with us
The sound of praise all in a name
Jesus Christ, the one who saves
All you people rise to the shout of the king

There is no power
No scheme of man
That separates
Us from your hand
We will not move
Far from your gaze
Here in your presence
We will remain

So we stand on you word
And we run to your voice

It's the sound that breaks down strongholds
It's the sound that makes a sinner whole
The sound of freedom falling on the earth
The sound of victory

I flirt with the world
It steals my love for you
My fear grips my faith
And I am left unmoved
But your gaze stops my heart
Your voice fills the dark
Your love is the spark that lights this life
And so we rise

Out of the depths you cry,
"come and be satisfied"
Father, you sing
Father, you sing over your children
Let us see through your eyes
We are your great delight
Father you sing
Father, you sing over your children

You quiet the storm
Inside my shipwrecked soul
Your spirit will lead
It calls the wayward home
At the sound of your name
Our sin is washed away
In Christ we're crucified
In you we die
In you we rise

And we're singing along
Your daughters and sons
We're singing your song
We are your children

It don't have a job
It don't pay all your bills
Won't buy you a home in Beverly Hills
Won't fix your life
In five easy steps
Ain't the law of the land
Or the government
But it's all you need

And love will hold us together
Make us a shelter
To weather the storm
And I’ll be my brother's keeper
So the whole world will know
That we're not alone

It's waiting for you
Knocking at your door
In the moment of truth
When your heart hits the floor
And you're on your knees

This is the first day
Of the rest of your life
This is the first day
Of the rest of your life
'Cause even in the dark
You can still see the light
It's going to be alright
It's going to be alright

For the city, for the world we pray
Let Your light shine down
Come around and live in us
For the city, for the world we pray
Let Your light shine down
Come around and live in us
For the close and the far away
Everywhere You are
Everywhere

We lift high the banner of the cross
There is no greater love than this
No love but this
Jesus Christ laid down His life for us
There is no greater love than His
No love but His

To the city, to the world we go
Set us free, heal the land
You have promised, God, You can
To the last and the least we go
Everywhere You are
Everywhere

In the poor, in the broken
In the crowded city streets
In the towers, in the money
In the strong and in the weak
In the orphans and the widows
In the churches and the bars
You are everywhere
God, You are everywhere

I'm searching for a king and kingdom
Here among the beggars and the weak
The broken and redeemed
I’m finding grace beyond all measure
In flesh and blood He hides His majesty
Inside of you and me
Why would a king do such a thing?

Isn't it beautiful?
Isn't it marvelous?
The God of the universe
He became one of us
We cry out and then
Love comes down again
Faith [Hope] [Love] is found in Him, hallelujah

Glorious beyond all measure
Bending low to wash His traitor's feet
People just like me
Why would a king do such a thing?

Sing, sing for faith
Sing for hope
Sing for what great love has done
What was lost he has found
Shout it out

I met a man who walked on water
And wore His crown like a blue collar
I met a man who welcomed children
Like they were ambassadors to a kingdom

If I saw the world in Your eyes
Would it help me understand
How You see through all our lies
Still You hold us in Your hand
I'm dying to believe
I'm trying just to show
That we're less than perfect
More than flesh and bone

People climbing trees to catch sight of You
Broken and blind looking for the truth
We're crippled by our fears and torments
Oh, Son of man, have pity on Your servants

I wander and I want
Squander the riches of Your love
It's never enough for me
Oh, take this poverty
And nail it to the tree
And let all that’s captive now go free
I’m free

Oh, how could it be
That my God would welcome me
Into this mystery
Say take this bread, take this wine
Now the simple made divine
For any to receive

By Your mercy, we come to Your table
By Your grace, You are making us faithful

Lord, we remember You
And remembrance leads us to worship
And as we worship You
Our worship leads to communion
We respond to Your invitation
We remember You

See His body, His blood
Know that He has overcome
Every trial we will face
None too lost to be saved
None too broken or ashamed
All are welcome in this place

Dying you destroyed our death,
rising you restored our life
Lord Jesus, come in glory.

I stand in awe of You
And everything You’ve done for me
You speak Your words into my life
And where You are is where I want to be

I stand before You, Lord
Humbled by the love You give away
A widow’s mite, my will and pride
It’s all I have to offer anyway

I’m holding on to Your love
I’m letting go of myself
I’ll say so long to everything else

I just want to be in Your arms
I just want to be in Your arms
Moving ever closer to Your heart
To Your heart

Lost.
Everything is lost
And everything I’ve loved before is gone
Alone, like the coming of the frost
And a cold winter's chill in my stony heart

Where were You when all that I’ve hoped for
Where were You when all that I’ve dreamed
Came crashing down in shambles around me
You were on the cross

Pain.
Could You take away the pain
If I find someone to blame
Would it make my life seem easier
Alone, all my friends are asleep
And I can't find anyone to stay awake with me

And where were You when sin stole my innocence
Where were You when I was ashamed
Hiding in a life I wish I’d never made

You were on the cross
My God, my God
All along, all along
You were on the cross
You died for us
All along, all along
You were on the cross
Victorious
All along, all along

You were there in all of my suffering
You were there in doubt and in fear
I'm waiting on the dawn to reappear

Let no one caught in sin remain
Inside the lie of inward shame
We fix our eyes upon the cross
And run to Him who showed great love
And bled for us
Freely You’ve bled for us

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave
Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with Him again
Come awake, come awake
Come and rise up from the grave

Beneath the weight of all our sin
You bowed to none but heaven’s will
No scheme of hell, no scoffer's crown
No burden great can hold You down
In strength You reign
Forever let Your church proclaim

O death, where is your sting?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light
The glory of God has defeated the night

O death, where is your sting?
O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light
Our God is not dead
He's alive! He's alive!

In the cool of the day
You come and meet me
All the blue fades away
The stars are winking
Your love's so strong
I can't recall
What was this thing
They called the fall?

And You walk with me
You never leave
You're making my heart a garden

Oh, why would I hide
Away from Your face
When the light of Your love
Illuminates

Your hand in mine
A steady line
Drawn on my heart
And deep in my mind

All the broken are mending
The mournful rejoicing
Seeing through tears
Of peace overflowing

And You walk with me
You never leave
You're making my heart a garden
You walk with me
You never leave
You're making our world a garden
