You wonder when the Lord will renew the strength within you;
You wonder how, how can He use you as you are.
Seems like you're wasting precious time,
But then a voice comes to remind you (to wait).
[Chorus]
Wait, wait, wait on the Lord;
You will understand in time.
Why you must wait,
Wait, wait, wait on the Lord;
Yes He hears you,
But for now you must wait on the Lord.
Answers come slowly to your cries of desperation,
But time is His tool, teaching the greatest lessons learned;
So let Him do His work in you,
And watch the miracles come true as you (wait).
[Chorus]
And He wants you to know that
They that wait on the Lord
Shall renew their strength;
They will rise up with wings as eagles,
They will run, not get weary.
They will walk and not faint;
That's a promise to us when we (wait).
[Chorus]
Truth Or Consequences lyrics - Steven Curtis Chapman
The T.V. said just make sure you're old enough,
And let your feelings tell you when it's right.
What went wrong? She thought it was really love;
Now she wonders why she just can't sleep at night.
She knew the rules but they were too old fashioned;
Was it worth the price she has to pay.
[Chorus]
It's either truth or consequences, there's no other way;
Put truth aside, the other takes its place.
Well, you can close your eyes but that won't make it go away;
The truth or consequences must be faced.
The headlines say our world's in a lot of pain,
Hurt from all the selfishness and greed.
What went wrong? Like sheep all have gone astray;
We'll reap what we sow, don't be deceived.
His truth's been given and it's there before us,
Written on the page and in our hearts.
[Chorus]
As sure as God made the sun to shine,
He made the rules we must all live by;
He loved us too much to leave us alone
To our own devices.
[Chorus]
And let your feelings tell you when it's right.
What went wrong? She thought it was really love;
Now she wonders why she just can't sleep at night.
She knew the rules but they were too old fashioned;
Was it worth the price she has to pay.
[Chorus]
It's either truth or consequences, there's no other way;
Put truth aside, the other takes its place.
Well, you can close your eyes but that won't make it go away;
The truth or consequences must be faced.
The headlines say our world's in a lot of pain,
Hurt from all the selfishness and greed.
What went wrong? Like sheep all have gone astray;
We'll reap what we sow, don't be deceived.
His truth's been given and it's there before us,
Written on the page and in our hearts.
[Chorus]
As sure as God made the sun to shine,
He made the rules we must all live by;
He loved us too much to leave us alone
To our own devices.
[Chorus]
My Turn Now lyrics - Steven Curtis Chapman
Well it's my turn now
My turn now
Hey, my turn to give my life away
I close the book and I shake my head
Sometimes I can't believe the things I've read
I don't deserve what He did for me
Hey, hey
He gave His love and His life away
And now He's asking me to do the same
So I'm gonna give Him all I am
And all I ever hope to be 'cause
[Chorus]
It's my turn now
Well it's my turn now
My turn to give my life away
I open up the book and look again
I read the stories of the faithful men
Who gave up all they had to follow Him
Yeah, yeah
He used the strong and He used the weak
He even gave the timid words to speak
He called whoever listened then
And now His call goes out again
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
My turn to say "I love Him"
My turn to let Him know
My life is His, so where He leads me that's where I will go
[Chorus Accapella]
My turn now
Hey, my turn to give my life away
I close the book and I shake my head
Sometimes I can't believe the things I've read
I don't deserve what He did for me
Hey, hey
He gave His love and His life away
And now He's asking me to do the same
So I'm gonna give Him all I am
And all I ever hope to be 'cause
[Chorus]
It's my turn now
Well it's my turn now
My turn to give my life away
I open up the book and look again
I read the stories of the faithful men
Who gave up all they had to follow Him
Yeah, yeah
He used the strong and He used the weak
He even gave the timid words to speak
He called whoever listened then
And now His call goes out again
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
My turn to say "I love Him"
My turn to let Him know
My life is His, so where He leads me that's where I will go
[Chorus Accapella]
His Strength Is Perfect lyrics - Steven Curtis Chapman
I can do all things
Through Christ who gives me strength
But sometimes I wonder what He can do through me
No great success to show
No glory on my own
Yet in my weakness He is there to let me know
His strength is perfect when our strength is gone
He'll carry us when we can't carry on
Raised in His power, the weak become strong
His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect
We can only know
The power that He holds
When we truly see how deep our weakness goes
His strength in us begins
Where ours comes to an end
He hears our humble cry and proves again
His strength is perfect when our strength is gone
He'll carry us when we can't carry on
Raised in His power, the weak become strong
His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect
Through Christ who gives me strength
But sometimes I wonder what He can do through me
No great success to show
No glory on my own
Yet in my weakness He is there to let me know
His strength is perfect when our strength is gone
He'll carry us when we can't carry on
Raised in His power, the weak become strong
His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect
We can only know
The power that He holds
When we truly see how deep our weakness goes
His strength in us begins
Where ours comes to an end
He hears our humble cry and proves again
His strength is perfect when our strength is gone
He'll carry us when we can't carry on
Raised in His power, the weak become strong
His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect
First Hand lyrics - Steven Curtis Chapman
Another Sunday morning, same old you,
Hoping that the preacher's preaching's almost through;
Not sure you need to hear this,
Seems like you've heard it all before
A hundred times or more.
All this information second hand;
Is there something more you don't understand?
It's a way of life you're missing,
Where the word becomes a part of you,
Walking everyday with Jesus,
Finding out His promises are true.
Living life first hand,
Learning the truth
Straight from the Father.
Living life first hand,
There's no middle man
When you walk with the Lord
First hand.
It's all in your mind, the world will say,
But this is something
That they can't explain away;
Not just some fancy talking,
Or just some emotion that you feel,
It's a life of first hand walking,
Finding out His promises are real.
Hoping that the preacher's preaching's almost through;

Where the word becomes a part of you,

Weak Days lyrics - Steven Curtis Chapman
Another rainy Monday,
Looks like I'm gonna be late again;
Why does the race I'm runnin' never seem to have an end.
A day away from Sunday,
Feels like I'm already losing ground -
Funny sometimes how quickly my emotions get turned around;
They're letting me down.
[Chorus]
I gotta keep my eyes on Jesus
Through the weak days;
In a world where we really don't belong,
I've discovered if I keep my eyes on Jesus
Through the weak days,
Then even on the weak days He'll make me strong.
The spirit is so willing
When the fellowship is so sweet;
How soon all the good intentions
Find the flesh is weak.
But there's a power waiting,
With no limits to times or space;
All of our doubts and fears disappear without a trace
When we look on His face.
[Chorus]
And when we keep our eyes on Jesus,
We'll gladly follow where He leads us.
[Chorus]
Looks like I'm gonna be late again;

Hiding Place lyrics - Steven Curtis Chapman
In the distance I can see the storm clouds coming my way,
And I need to find a shelter before it starts to rain,
So I turn and run to you, Lord,
You're the only place to go,
Where unfailing love surrounds me,
When I need it most.
You're my hiding place,
Safe in your embrace,
I'm protected from the storm that rages,
When the waters rise,
And I run to hide,
Lord in you I'll find my hiding place.
I'm not asking you to take away my troubles, Lord,
Cause it's through the stormy weather I'll learn to trust you more,
But I thank you for the promise,
And I have come to know,
Your unfailing love surrounds me,
When I need it most.
You're my hiding place,
Safe in your embrace,
I'm protected from the storm that rages.
When the waters rise,
And I run to hide,
Lord in you I'll find my hiding place.
So, let your people seek you,
While you may be found,
Cause you're our only refuge,
When the rain comes pouring down.
You're our hiding place,
Safe in your embrace,
We're protected from the storm that rages,
When the waters rise,
And we run to hide,
Lord, in you we find our hiding place...
Lord, in you we find our hiding place.
Hiding place... hiding place... Lord, you are my hiding place...
And I need to find a shelter before it starts to rain,
So I turn and run to you, Lord,
You're the only place to go,
Where unfailing love surrounds me,
When I need it most.
You're my hiding place,
Safe in your embrace,
I'm protected from the storm that rages,
When the waters rise,
And I run to hide,
Lord in you I'll find my hiding place.
I'm not asking you to take away my troubles, Lord,
Cause it's through the stormy weather I'll learn to trust you more,
But I thank you for the promise,
And I have come to know,
Your unfailing love surrounds me,
When I need it most.
You're my hiding place,
Safe in your embrace,
I'm protected from the storm that rages.
When the waters rise,
And I run to hide,
Lord in you I'll find my hiding place.
So, let your people seek you,
While you may be found,
Cause you're our only refuge,
When the rain comes pouring down.
You're our hiding place,
Safe in your embrace,
We're protected from the storm that rages,
When the waters rise,
And we run to hide,
Lord, in you we find our hiding place...
Lord, in you we find our hiding place.
Hiding place... hiding place... Lord, you are my hiding place...
Run Away lyrics - Steven Curtis Chapman
Strolling past temptation avenue,
You hear so many voices calling you;
Maybe you'll step in and take a quick look around.
Try to walk through it,
And you're gonna fall down.
[Chorus]
You've gotta run away,
Turn around and run the other way;
Don't even look in the direction
of a thought you should not entertain.
You've gotta run away,
It's a prison that is calling your name;
You just can't win if you play,
So run away.
There comes a time when you must stand and fight,
When the darkness tries to overcome the light;
But sin that is dressed up in the color of gray,
Is only defeated
When we run away.
[Chorus]
Don't put yourself in that position
Where sin can make it's proposition;
And if you find that you have fallen,
You gotta get up, get ready to run
Next time sin comes calling, calling.
[Chorus]
You hear so many voices calling you;
Maybe you'll step in and take a quick look around.
Try to walk through it,
And you're gonna fall down.
[Chorus]
You've gotta run away,
Turn around and run the other way;
Don't even look in the direction
of a thought you should not entertain.
You've gotta run away,
It's a prison that is calling your name;
You just can't win if you play,
So run away.
There comes a time when you must stand and fight,
When the darkness tries to overcome the light;
But sin that is dressed up in the color of gray,
Is only defeated
When we run away.
[Chorus]
Don't put yourself in that position
Where sin can make it's proposition;
And if you find that you have fallen,
You gotta get up, get ready to run
Next time sin comes calling, calling.
[Chorus]
Do They Know lyrics - Steven Curtis Chapman
I'm one of the chosen few
God chose to carry to
A hopeless and dying world
Good News.
I'm a disciple of
A caring Father's love,
A light to the world,
To show them the way.
[Chorus]
Do they know;
Can they see;
Jesus lives in me. [2x]
A vacant house comes alive
When somebody moves inside,
A light in the window means somebody's home;
I say Jesus lives in me,
But can everybody see
The light of His love that shines in my heart.
[Chorus]
A cloud of witnesses surrounds us,
Who long to share what we've received;
Tell me where will they see Jesus,
If not in you and me.
So we must let them know,
Let them see Jesus lives in you and me.
Let them know, let them see;
He is all they need,
Jesus is all we need.
God chose to carry to
A hopeless and dying world
Good News.
I'm a disciple of
A caring Father's love,
A light to the world,
To show them the way.
[Chorus]
Do they know;
Can they see;
Jesus lives in me. [2x]
A vacant house comes alive
When somebody moves inside,
A light in the window means somebody's home;
I say Jesus lives in me,
But can everybody see
The light of His love that shines in my heart.
[Chorus]
A cloud of witnesses surrounds us,
Who long to share what we've received;
Tell me where will they see Jesus,
If not in you and me.
So we must let them know,
Let them see Jesus lives in you and me.
Let them know, let them see;
He is all they need,
Jesus is all we need.
Tell Me lyrics - Steven Curtis Chapman
Whatever happened to Johnny?
He was in church every time the doors were opened;
He gave his time and his money.
Why did he give up the fight?
He was a spiritual her.
Whatever happened to Sharon?
She was the only one
You knew you could always turn to;
How could she be so uncaring?
She turned her back on you;
Who you going to turn to now?
[Chorus]
Tell me, tell me who are you depending on;
Tell me who do you believe.
You lost your faith in so many people,
But is your faith in who it should be.
There's only One who keeps all of His promises;
He is the only solid ground.
Let Jesus be the One you are trusting
To lift you up, cause He'll never let you down.
Whatever happens He's faithful;
Those who depend on him will never be disappointed,
So trust His Word and be thankful
You found the One who's true,
Someone you can turn to now.
He was in church every time the doors were opened;
He gave his time and his money.
Why did he give up the fight?
He was a spiritual her.
Whatever happened to Sharon?
She was the only one
You knew you could always turn to;
How could she be so uncaring?
She turned her back on you;
Who you going to turn to now?
[Chorus]
Tell me, tell me who are you depending on;
Tell me who do you believe.
You lost your faith in so many people,
But is your faith in who it should be.
There's only One who keeps all of His promises;
He is the only solid ground.
Let Jesus be the One you are trusting
To lift you up, cause He'll never let you down.
Whatever happens He's faithful;
Those who depend on him will never be disappointed,
So trust His Word and be thankful
You found the One who's true,
Someone you can turn to now.
Who Cares lyrics - Steven Curtis Chapman
Trapped in simple conversation,
Hard getting past those old familiar lines,
Guarded hearts and with good reason
Say how are you, oh I'm doin' just fine;
They've said all that they can say,
Then they turn and walk away,
And the wounded hearts must wait another day.
[Chorus]
Who cares when they're crying;
Who cares when they're all alone,
And no one knows how much they long
To find someone
Who cares that they're dying,
Who cares that the road is long,
And you could be the one to lead them
To the One who cares.
Captured by the rush of living,
So hard to hear our brothers' quiet cries,
But freedom comes when we are willing
To open up our hearts and realize
They've said all that they can say;
We can't turn and walk away,
'Cause the wounded hearts might not wait another day.
[Chorus]
The Father gave His Son
To show the world how much He cares,
And now it's up to us to let them know
He cares.
[Chorus]
Hard getting past those old familiar lines,
Guarded hearts and with good reason
Say how are you, oh I'm doin' just fine;
They've said all that they can say,
Then they turn and walk away,
And the wounded hearts must wait another day.
[Chorus]
Who cares when they're crying;
Who cares when they're all alone,
And no one knows how much they long
To find someone
Who cares that they're dying,
Who cares that the road is long,
And you could be the one to lead them
To the One who cares.
Captured by the rush of living,
So hard to hear our brothers' quiet cries,
But freedom comes when we are willing
To open up our hearts and realize
They've said all that they can say;
We can't turn and walk away,
'Cause the wounded hearts might not wait another day.
[Chorus]
The Father gave His Son
To show the world how much He cares,
And now it's up to us to let them know
He cares.
[Chorus]
Dying To Live lyrics - Steven Curtis Chapman
Another case of I wish I wouldn't have;
Another promise not to let Him down again.
Fighting battles in a war I thought was over;
The old man of sin died a long time ago,
But left behind a sinful nature deep within,
So if I want to win this fight,
There's a part of me that must die,
But I'm not gonna cry.
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm dying to live,
Live for Jesus.
Dying to give myself to Him,
And the life that He gives will be mine
If I am dying to live.
Dying to live,
Live for Jesus.
I want to give myself to Him;
Gonna give up - from now on I'm dying to live.
Giving up what I can't keep anyway,
To gain something that I know I'll never lose,
Trading in the temporary for the eternal,
And though it's settled, I'm reminded everyday;
To live or die to self - it's up to me to choose,
So if I want to win the fight there's a part of me
That must die.
Well I've said my goodbyes.
[Chorus]
Another promise not to let Him down again.
Fighting battles in a war I thought was over;
The old man of sin died a long time ago,
But left behind a sinful nature deep within,
So if I want to win this fight,
There's a part of me that must die,
But I'm not gonna cry.
[Chorus]
'Cause I'm dying to live,
Live for Jesus.
Dying to give myself to Him,
And the life that He gives will be mine
If I am dying to live.
Dying to live,
Live for Jesus.
I want to give myself to Him;
Gonna give up - from now on I'm dying to live.
Giving up what I can't keep anyway,
To gain something that I know I'll never lose,
Trading in the temporary for the eternal,
And though it's settled, I'm reminded everyday;
To live or die to self - it's up to me to choose,
So if I want to win the fight there's a part of me
That must die.
Well I've said my goodbyes.
[Chorus]
Said And Done lyrics - Steven Curtis Chapman
Making promises came easy
Back when they first fell in love.
They talked of how they'd share the years together;
Said we'll work it out whatever comes.
I guess we never know just how it happens;
Vows forgotten that were once so true.
Holding on to broken dreams and promises,
It's time to act on what they said they would do.
[Chorus]
'Cause when it's all said and done,
It's got to be all or none;
Words are no good unless they're backed with actions.
It's easier said than done;
Talk of the race and never run,
But the prize belongs to those who've said and done.
Love is one of many pages
In a story only time will tell;
It's a book of all the words we're saying,
Read by those who see us do as well.
[Chorus]
When it's all said and done,
Have you done what you said.
When it's all said and done,
Have you done what you said you would do.
[Chorus]
Back when they first fell in love.
They talked of how they'd share the years together;
Said we'll work it out whatever comes.
I guess we never know just how it happens;
Vows forgotten that were once so true.
Holding on to broken dreams and promises,
It's time to act on what they said they would do.
[Chorus]
'Cause when it's all said and done,
It's got to be all or none;
Words are no good unless they're backed with actions.
It's easier said than done;
Talk of the race and never run,
But the prize belongs to those who've said and done.
Love is one of many pages
In a story only time will tell;
It's a book of all the words we're saying,
Read by those who see us do as well.
[Chorus]
When it's all said and done,
Have you done what you said.
When it's all said and done,
Have you done what you said you would do.
[Chorus]
My Redeemer Is Faithful And True lyrics - Steven Curtis Chapman
As I look back on the road I've traveled,
I see so many times He carried me through;
And if there's one thing that I've learned in my life,
My Redeemer is faithful and true.
My Redeemer is faithful and true.
[Chorus]
My Redeemer is faithful and true.
Everything He has said He will do,
And every morning His mercies are new.
My Redeemer is faithful and true.
My heart rejoices when I read the promise
'There is a place I am preparing for you.'
I know someday I'll see my Lord face to face,
'Cause my Redeemer is faithful and true.
My Redeemer is faithful and true.
[Chorus]
And in every situation He has proved His love to me;
When I lack the understanding, He gives more grace to me.
[Chorus]
I see so many times He carried me through;
And if there's one thing that I've learned in my life,
My Redeemer is faithful and true.
My Redeemer is faithful and true.
[Chorus]
My Redeemer is faithful and true.
Everything He has said He will do,
And every morning His mercies are new.
My Redeemer is faithful and true.
My heart rejoices when I read the promise
'There is a place I am preparing for you.'
I know someday I'll see my Lord face to face,
'Cause my Redeemer is faithful and true.
My Redeemer is faithful and true.
[Chorus]
And in every situation He has proved His love to me;
When I lack the understanding, He gives more grace to me.
[Chorus]
He'll Take Care Of The Rest lyrics - Steven Curtis Chapman
You know, it ain't no use
Banging your head
Up against a cold stone wall
'Cause no one perfect
Except for the Lord--
Even the best's bound to fall
Remember,
He is the vine
And you are the branch
He loves to get you through it if you give him a chance
You just keep doing your best
And pray that it's blessed
And Jesus takes care of the rest
[Chorus]
Yes the Lord said He'll take care of the rest
He's gonna do it!
He'll take care of the rest
He'll see you through it, yeah
He'll take care of the rest
The devil blew it!
(Old pharaoh blew it)
(His neighbors blew it)
Well He'll take care of the--
He'll take care of the rest
You just think about Moses
In front of the burning bush
Barefoot on the holy ground
You know he must've been thinking
"Hey, what's an old dude like me
Gonna tell 'em of when I go down?" (oh yeah, Moses)
But the Lord said
"Hey Mo, don't you worry about goin' down south
'Cause I'll be sayin' every word that comes out of your mouth
You just keep doing your best
And pray that it's blessed
And hey Mo, I'll take care of the rest"
[Chorus]
Just believe
And you'll receive
That comfort you need
You just think about all those lonely people you know
They've got everything they want
But they've got empty souls
But he'll take care of the--
He'll take care of the--
Care of the rest!
You just think about Noah
Shoulderin' his umbrella
When there wasn't a cloud in the sky
All his neighbors would laugh
At his pet giraffe
And they would oh-ho, snicker as he passed by
But the Lord said
"Be cool - you just keep building that boat
It's just a matter of time
'Til they see who's gonna float
You just keep doing your best
And pray that it's blessed
And hey Noah, Ill take care of the rest
I'm THE weather man
[Chorus]
He'll take care of the rest
He's gonna do it!
He'll take care of the rest
Oh, now Jesus will see you through it
He'll take care of the rest
Yes, yes, yes
He'll take care of the--
He'll take care of the--
He'll take care of the rest...
Banging your head
Up against a cold stone wall
'Cause no one perfect
Except for the Lord--
Even the best's bound to fall
Remember,
He is the vine
And you are the branch
He loves to get you through it if you give him a chance
You just keep doing your best
And pray that it's blessed
And Jesus takes care of the rest

Yes the Lord said He'll take care of the rest
He's gonna do it!
He'll take care of the rest
He'll see you through it, yeah
He'll take care of the rest

And pray that it's blessed
And hey Noah, Ill take care of the rest
I'm THE weather man
[Chorus]
He'll take care of the rest
He's gonna do it!
He'll take care of the rest
Oh, now Jesus will see you through it
He'll take care of the rest
Yes, yes, yes
He'll take care of the--
He'll take care of the--
He'll take care of the rest...
Heartbeat Of Hope lyrics - Steven Curtis Chapman
I still remember the taste of my tears
The day I watched you drift away
And I remember before you disappeared
I started hoping for the day
When I'd see your face
And look in your eyes
Feel your embrace
And we'd never say goodbye
I can hear it in the baby's cry
In a mother's lullaby
Every time the morning sky
Begins to glow
I can feel it pounding deep inside
It's keeping faith alive
And I will not let it die
The heartbeat of hope
I am learning, I'm learning as I go
Just how thankful hope can be
The ache of yearning can never let you go
It has become a part of me
But pure are the longings
Holding on and holding out
I'll keep holding to the one thing
I know I can not live without
I can hear it in the baby's cry
In a mother's lullaby
And every time the morning sky
Begins to glow
I can feel it pounding deep inside
It's keeping faith alive
And I will not let it die because it's more
Than something I believe in
It's a song that makes me dance
When my feet refuse to move
It's the wind that bumps the water
That I can not get through
I can hear it in the baby's cry
In a mother's lullaby
And every time the morning sky
Begins to glow
I can feel it pounding deep inside
It's keeping faith alive
And I will not let it die
The heartbeat of hope
I will not let it die
The heartbeat of hope
I will not let it die
It's keeping faith alive
It's the heartbeat of hope
Keep it alive
The heartbeat of hope
I will not let it die
No, I will not let it die
Keep it alive
Keep alive
The heartbeat of hope
The day I watched you drift away
And I remember before you disappeared
I started hoping for the day
When I'd see your face
And look in your eyes
Feel your embrace
And we'd never say goodbye
I can hear it in the baby's cry
In a mother's lullaby
Every time the morning sky
Begins to glow
I can feel it pounding deep inside
It's keeping faith alive
And I will not let it die
The heartbeat of hope
I am learning, I'm learning as I go
Just how thankful hope can be
The ache of yearning can never let you go
It has become a part of me
But pure are the longings
Holding on and holding out
I'll keep holding to the one thing
I know I can not live without
I can hear it in the baby's cry
In a mother's lullaby
And every time the morning sky
Begins to glow
I can feel it pounding deep inside
It's keeping faith alive
And I will not let it die because it's more
Than something I believe in
It's a song that makes me dance
When my feet refuse to move
It's the wind that bumps the water
That I can not get through
I can hear it in the baby's cry
In a mother's lullaby
And every time the morning sky
Begins to glow
I can feel it pounding deep inside
It's keeping faith alive
And I will not let it die
The heartbeat of hope
I will not let it die
The heartbeat of hope
I will not let it die
It's keeping faith alive
It's the heartbeat of hope
Keep it alive
The heartbeat of hope
I will not let it die
No, I will not let it die
Keep it alive
Keep alive
The heartbeat of hope
I See Love lyrics - Steven Curtis Chapman
Some see a teacher
Standing on a hill
Speaking words of wisdom
Some see a healer
Reaching out his hand
To give sight to a blind man
Some see a dreamer
Wasting his life
On what can never be
Some see a fool
Dying for his dreams
But I see love (I see love)
I see love (I see love)
Light of heaven breaking through
Well I see grace (I see grace)
I see God's face (I See Gods face)
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
I see love
Some see a prisoner
Alone before his judge
With no one to defend him
Some see a victim
Beaten and abused
With all the world against him
Some see a martyr
Carrying his cross
For what he believes
Some see a hero
Who set his people free
But I see love (I see love)
I see love (I see love)
Light of heaven breaking through
Well I see grace (I see grace)
I see God's face (I See Gods face)
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
With your last breath
I see love
Through your death
I see life
I see peace in the eyes of the king
I see hope in your suffering (I see love)
I see a calm in the center of the storm
I see a Saviour
I see love
I see love
Light of heaven breaking through (heaven breaking through)
I see grace
I see God's face
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
I see love
When I see you
I see heaven breaking through
See Gods face
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
When I see you
When I see you
I see love
I see love
When I see........you
Some see Him walking from an empty grave...
Standing on a hill
Speaking words of wisdom
Some see a healer
Reaching out his hand
To give sight to a blind man
Some see a dreamer
Wasting his life
On what can never be
Some see a fool
Dying for his dreams
But I see love (I see love)
I see love (I see love)
Light of heaven breaking through
Well I see grace (I see grace)
I see God's face (I See Gods face)
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
I see love
Some see a prisoner
Alone before his judge
With no one to defend him
Some see a victim
Beaten and abused
With all the world against him
Some see a martyr
Carrying his cross
For what he believes
Some see a hero
Who set his people free
But I see love (I see love)
I see love (I see love)
Light of heaven breaking through
Well I see grace (I see grace)
I see God's face (I See Gods face)
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
With your last breath
I see love
Through your death
I see life
I see peace in the eyes of the king
I see hope in your suffering (I see love)
I see a calm in the center of the storm
I see a Saviour
I see love
I see love
Light of heaven breaking through (heaven breaking through)
I see grace
I see God's face
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
I see love
When I see you
I see heaven breaking through
See Gods face
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
When I see you
When I see you
I see love
I see love
When I see........you
Some see Him walking from an empty grave...
I Will Not Go Quietly lyrics - Steven Curtis Chapman
I was born with an angel whispering in my ear
Telling me sacred secrets that God wanted me to hear
And I have lived to tell the mysteries I've been told
And even when they tell me it's my time to go
No I will not, no I will not, not go quietly
No I will not, no I will not, not go quietly
No, no, not go quietly no, no, not go quietly
These things I tell, they are much true
Than the heart of he who speaks
Even so, this humble servant
Cannot help but talk about his king
So I will sing 'cause I can't hold back the song
I shout and scream, until God takes me home
No I will not, no I will not, not go quietly
No I will not, no I will not, not go quietly
No, no, not go quietly no, no, not go quietly
So how can I keep silent?
So how can I not speak?
And tell about the Savior
Who has set this prisoner free?
No I will not, no I will not, not go quietly
No I will not, no I will not, not go quietly
No, no, not go quietly no, no, not go quietly
Telling me sacred secrets that God wanted me to hear
And I have lived to tell the mysteries I've been told
And even when they tell me it's my time to go
No I will not, no I will not, not go quietly
No I will not, no I will not, not go quietly
No, no, not go quietly no, no, not go quietly
These things I tell, they are much true
Than the heart of he who speaks
Even so, this humble servant
Cannot help but talk about his king
So I will sing 'cause I can't hold back the song
I shout and scream, until God takes me home
No I will not, no I will not, not go quietly
No I will not, no I will not, not go quietly
No, no, not go quietly no, no, not go quietly
So how can I keep silent?
So how can I not speak?
And tell about the Savior
Who has set this prisoner free?
No I will not, no I will not, not go quietly
No I will not, no I will not, not go quietly
No, no, not go quietly no, no, not go quietly
Nobody Ever (Only You) lyrics - Steven Curtis Chapman
I thought a heart of stone would be a safe place
To hide away the brokenness and pain
And I was so sure my empty eyes would be the last place
The light of love would ever shine again
But then with a miracle You found me
You did what no one else could ever do
Nobody ever loved the way that You love me
Nobody ever saw what You brought alive in me
Nobody ever knew how lost I was without You
(Nobody else could ever save me)
Nobody ever, only You
Never have I known this kind of freedom
Like a child dancing in the rain
I didn't even know that I was locked inside a prison
And only You could break me from my chains
No one but You knew where to find me
You gave me life I never had before
Nobody ever loved me like You
Nobody ever loved me like You
Nobody ever saw me
Nobody ever knew me
Nobody ever loved me like You
No one else could ever save me
Only You
To hide away the brokenness and pain
And I was so sure my empty eyes would be the last place
The light of love would ever shine again
But then with a miracle You found me
You did what no one else could ever do
Nobody ever loved the way that You love me
Nobody ever saw what You brought alive in me
Nobody ever knew how lost I was without You
(Nobody else could ever save me)
Nobody ever, only You
Never have I known this kind of freedom
Like a child dancing in the rain
I didn't even know that I was locked inside a prison
And only You could break me from my chains
No one but You knew where to find me
You gave me life I never had before
Nobody ever loved me like You
Nobody ever loved me like You
Nobody ever saw me
Nobody ever knew me
Nobody ever loved me like You
No one else could ever save me
Only You
Out There lyrics - Steven Curtis Chapman
I talk to you, you talk to me
We speak in our own language
These common truths that we believe
Are like a warm, inviting fire we gather round
But there's a danger lurking here
Inside our place of comfort
We've got to go out in the dark
Cause there's a hungry heart
That's longing just to know
That someone cares enough to go
[Chorus]
Out there
Someone needs a friend
Who'll walk against the wind
To a place that's strange and unfamiliar
Out there
Where all of us have been
Until love brings us in
So who will dare to go and be a friend
Cause someone really needs a friend
Out there
So we'll sing for you
You'll sing along
We'll let this song remind us
Poor, hungry beggars all are we
Invited to a feast
That none of us deserves
Filled to go to love and serve
[Repeat Chorus]
Somewhere out beyond the sweet sound
Of amazing grace
Someone needs to see God's love
And mercy face to face
[Repeat Chorus]
We speak in our own language
These common truths that we believe
Are like a warm, inviting fire we gather round
But there's a danger lurking here
Inside our place of comfort
We've got to go out in the dark
Cause there's a hungry heart
That's longing just to know
That someone cares enough to go
[Chorus]
Out there
Someone needs a friend
Who'll walk against the wind
To a place that's strange and unfamiliar
Out there
Where all of us have been
Until love brings us in
So who will dare to go and be a friend
Cause someone really needs a friend
Out there
So we'll sing for you
You'll sing along
We'll let this song remind us
Poor, hungry beggars all are we
Invited to a feast
That none of us deserves
Filled to go to love and serve
[Repeat Chorus]
Somewhere out beyond the sweet sound
Of amazing grace
Someone needs to see God's love
And mercy face to face
[Repeat Chorus]
Remembering You lyrics - Steven Curtis Chapman
I found You in the most unlikely way
But really it was You who found me
And I found myself in the gifts that You gave
You gave me so much and I
I wish You could stay
But I'll, I'll wait for the day
[Chorus]
And I watch as the cold winter melts into spring
And I'll be remembering You
Oh and I'll smell the flowers and hear the birds sing
And I'll be remembering You, I'll be remembering You
From the first moment when I heard Your name
Something in my heart came alive
You showed me love and no words could explain
A love with the power to
Open the door
To a world I was made for
[Chorus]
And I watch as the cold winter melts into spring
And I'll be remembering You
Oh and I'll smell the flowers and hear the birds sing
And I'll be remembering...
The dark night, the hard fight
The long climb up the hill knowing the cost
The brave death, the last breath
The silence whispering all hope was lost
The thunder, the wonder
A power that brings the dead back to life
I wish You could stay
But I'll wait for the day
And though You've gone away
You come back
[Chorus]
And I watch as the cold winter melts into spring
And I'll be remembering You
Oh and I'll smell the flowers and hear the birds sing
And I'll be remembering You
And I'll watch as the sun fills a sky that was dark
And I'll be remembering You
And I'll think of the way that You fill up my heart
And I'll be remembering You
I'll be remembering You
I'll be remembering You
I'll be remembering You
I'll be remembering You
But really it was You who found me
And I found myself in the gifts that You gave
You gave me so much and I
I wish You could stay
But I'll, I'll wait for the day
[Chorus]
And I watch as the cold winter melts into spring
And I'll be remembering You
Oh and I'll smell the flowers and hear the birds sing
And I'll be remembering You, I'll be remembering You
From the first moment when I heard Your name
Something in my heart came alive
You showed me love and no words could explain
A love with the power to
Open the door
To a world I was made for
[Chorus]
And I watch as the cold winter melts into spring
And I'll be remembering You
Oh and I'll smell the flowers and hear the birds sing
And I'll be remembering...
The dark night, the hard fight
The long climb up the hill knowing the cost
The brave death, the last breath
The silence whispering all hope was lost
The thunder, the wonder
A power that brings the dead back to life
I wish You could stay
But I'll wait for the day
And though You've gone away
You come back
[Chorus]
And I watch as the cold winter melts into spring
And I'll be remembering You
Oh and I'll smell the flowers and hear the birds sing
And I'll be remembering You
And I'll watch as the sun fills a sky that was dark
And I'll be remembering You
And I'll think of the way that You fill up my heart
And I'll be remembering You
I'll be remembering You
I'll be remembering You
I'll be remembering You
I'll be remembering You
Soldier lyrics - Steven Curtis Chapman
When you are a soldier I will be your shield
I will go with you into the battlefield
And when the arrows start to fly
Take my hand and hold on tight
I will be your shield, 'cause I know how it feels
When you are a soldier
When you're tired from running
I will cheer you on
Look beside you and you'll see you're not alone
And when your strength is all but gone
I'll carry you until you're strong
And I will be your shield 'cause I know how it feels
When you're a soldier
I will be the one you can cry your songs to
My eyes will share your tears
And I'll be your friend if you win
Or if you're defeated
Whenever you need me I will be here
When you're lost in darkness I will hold the light
I will help you find your way through the night
I'll remind you of the truth
And keep the flame alive in you
And I will be your shield
'Cause I know how it feels
When you are a soldier
I will go with you into the battlefield
And when the arrows start to fly
Take my hand and hold on tight
I will be your shield, 'cause I know how it feels
When you are a soldier
When you're tired from running
I will cheer you on
Look beside you and you'll see you're not alone
And when your strength is all but gone
I'll carry you until you're strong
And I will be your shield 'cause I know how it feels
When you're a soldier
I will be the one you can cry your songs to
My eyes will share your tears
And I'll be your friend if you win
Or if you're defeated
Whenever you need me I will be here
When you're lost in darkness I will hold the light
I will help you find your way through the night
I'll remind you of the truth
And keep the flame alive in you
And I will be your shield
'Cause I know how it feels
When you are a soldier
Sometimes He Comes In The Clouds lyrics - Steven Curtis Chapman
These are the places I was so sure I'd find Him
I looked in the pages and I looked down on my knees
I lifted my eyes in expectation
To see the sun still refusing to shine
But sometimes He comes in the clouds
Sometimes His face cannot be found
Sometimes the sky is dark and gray
But some things can only be known
And sometimes are faith can only grow
When we can't see
So sometimes He comes in the clouds
Sometimes I see me a sailor out on the ocean
So brave and so sure as long as the skies are clear
But when the clouds to gather
I watch my faith turn to fear
But sometimes He comes in the clouds
Sometimes His face cannot be found
Sometimes the sky is dark and gray
But some things can only be known
And sometimes are faith can only grow
When we can't see
So sometimes He comes in the clouds
Sometimes He comes in the rain
And we question the pain
And wonder why God can seem so far away
But time will show us, He was right there with us
And sometimes He comes in the clouds
Sometimes His face cannot be found
Sometimes the sky is dark and gray
But some things can only be known
And sometimes are faith can only grow
When we can't see
So sometimes He comes in the clouds
I looked in the pages and I looked down on my knees
I lifted my eyes in expectation
To see the sun still refusing to shine
But sometimes He comes in the clouds
Sometimes His face cannot be found
Sometimes the sky is dark and gray
But some things can only be known
And sometimes are faith can only grow
When we can't see
So sometimes He comes in the clouds
Sometimes I see me a sailor out on the ocean
So brave and so sure as long as the skies are clear
But when the clouds to gather
I watch my faith turn to fear
But sometimes He comes in the clouds
Sometimes His face cannot be found
Sometimes the sky is dark and gray
But some things can only be known
And sometimes are faith can only grow
When we can't see
So sometimes He comes in the clouds
Sometimes He comes in the rain
And we question the pain
And wonder why God can seem so far away
But time will show us, He was right there with us
And sometimes He comes in the clouds
Sometimes His face cannot be found
Sometimes the sky is dark and gray
But some things can only be known
And sometimes are faith can only grow
When we can't see
So sometimes He comes in the clouds
