I wonder when we first bought into this so satisfied with status quo have we convinced
ourselves that this is all there is well all that is within me says we were meant to break
free.

[chorus]
live like there's no tomorrow love extravagantly lead a life to be followed goodbye ordinary
goodbye ordinary

We were never meant to compromise settle for mediocrity this life was never made to b a waste
of time well all that is within me says no more just existing. [back to chorus]

No more complacency no more just settling this time goodbye to atrophy for we were meant to be
alive.
[back to chorus]

There is a season for everything there is a reason for all things here on earth every second
of every moment seems to have its worth rest assured life's not in vain for all things work
here for His fame.

[chorus]
Time has come to raise our hearts as one and glorify the God of everything we live our lives
for the renown of Christ oh we are children of the sovereign King.

From the moment of our first breath to the second we bid this world goodbye and everything
that is in between was made to magnify The One who holds all things in place The Ruler over
time and space.
[back to chorus]

Where do i begin with what to say I've played this conversation in my head so many times I'm
certainly not claiming to know everything but what i do will save your life.

[chorus]
i know, i know that God is able i know, i know that He still reigns i know, i know that love
has found a way.

No matter what it is you're going through even if you think you're far beyond where hope can
see i know there is a hand that's reaching out for you because He did the same for me [back to chorus]

it wasn't that long ago when my own world fell apart, it fell apart and everything here inside
of me said to let go, you must let go i found my self crying out to the One who knows my heart,
He knows your heart and holding tight to the few things that i know [back to chorus]

Who are we that You would be mindful of us what do You see that's worth looking our way we are
free in ways that we never should be sweet release from the grip of these chains like hinges
straining from the weight my heart no longer can keep from singing.

[chorus]
all that is within me cries for You alone be glorified Emmanuel God with us my heart sings a
brand new song the debt is paid these chains are gone Emmanuel God with us.

Lord You know our hearts don't deserve Your glory still You show a love we cannot afford like
hinges straining from the weight my heart no longer can keep from singing. [back to chorus]

Such a tiny offering compared to Calvary nevertheless way law it at your feet. [back to chorus]

Let there be no condemnation for all who are fully known in Christ unspeakable grace for all
the nations by way of holy sacrifice we worship with the sound of broken shackles falling to
the ground.

[chorus]
Sanctified i have been set free grace divine has swept me off my feet.

No greater love has ever been known than He who came to find the lost no greater sacrifice has
been shown than He who laid upon the cross let all creation sing for He has come and He's
changed everything. [back to chorus]

And i know that i will never be the same. [back to chorus]

Even before there was a drop in the ocean even before there was a star in the sky even before
the world was put in motion You were on Your throne You were on Your throne.

[chorus]
You reign glory in the highest You reign let creation testify by Your name every knee will bow
and every tongue proclaim that Jesus reigns.

Even before Your hand made the heavens even before the breath of all mankind even before we
had to be forgiven You were on Your throne You were on Your throne. [back to chorus]

Yesterday, today and forever Your are God who was, and is and is to come. [back to chorus]

They say don't waste your time You simply cannot find an ounce of good within the heart of man
they say we've got to lay in the bed we've made and live this life without a second chance but
I'm inclined to say there must be something more.

[chorus]
We've been told that the heart is just too far gone to save but grace tells us another story
Where glory sends hopelessness away oh grace tells us another story.

They say we cannot change there is no other way get used to it cause this is all there is they
say don't raise your voice cause we don't have a choice we're dealt this hand so learn to live
with it well i have to believer there must something more. [back to chorus]

And though we may not understand why You'd give us another chance we praise You who lets us
start again. [back to chorus]

If you had a dime for every time it rained on this parade you're marching in called life You'd
start to wonder if someone out there's got your number well, hold your head up, breath in deep,
remember.

ooh ooh you know it's gonna be alright ooh ooh you know it's gonna be alright.

We're gonna have those days when it all comes crashing in wondering if the sun will ever shine
before you go and convince yourself you cannot make it hold you head up, breath in deep,
remember.

[chorus]
ooh ooh you know it's gonna be alright ooh ooh you know it's gonna be alright there's a love
much stronger than everything that holds you down right now sayin' ooh ooh you know it's gonna
be alright.

So next time when you tell yourself this isn't worth it hold you head up breathe in deep
remember. [back to chorus]

Count it pure joy when the world come crashin' hold your head up and keep on dancin'

Why this happened i cannot explain why write the script with such heartache and pain could
there not have been an easier way watching life through this glass so faded i cannot see the
bigger picture taking place oh to understand one day.

[chorus]
When i finally see you face to face and my tears will fly away, away.

It won't be long until we all go home with all things revealed and on that day we'll finally
know oh, as we are fully known. [back to chorus]

And what appears as incomplete is still completely Yours and one day we'll see as we've been
seen and we'll soar. [back to chorus]

I'm gonna wrap my arms around my daddy's neck and tell him that I've missed him and tell him
all about the man that i became and hope that it pleased him there's so much i want to say
there's so much i want you to know.

[chorus]
When i finally make it home when i finally make it home.

Then I'll gaze upon the throne of the King frozen in my steps and all the questions that i
swore i would ask words just won't come yet so amazed at what I've seen so much more than this
old mind can hold. [back to chorus]

And the sweetest sound my ears have yet to hear voices on angels. [back to chorus]
