Do You Have the Answers 04:32

Do You have the answers? Do You hear my cry? When the world around me shatters, will You be standing by my side? My heart is ever longing for Your pure and perfect peace When my hope is failing, Lord help my unbelief I've heard You're more faithful than the morning That Your words can calm the seas That Your love, too vast to measure, will not be taken from me I've heard that You are listening to every prayer and every cry Lord I need to know, You're at work in my life Lord I need to know everything will be alright Are you my sustainer? Is my life in Your hands? When there seems to be no answers can I trust You with Your plan? In my heart is a desire to give You all of me When life seems so uncertain, will You calm the fears in me? I've heard You're more faithful than the morning That Your words can calm the seas That Your love, too vast to measure, will not be taken from me I've heard that You are listening to every prayer and every cry Lord I need to know, You're at work in my life Lord I need to know everything will be alright Time will always prove that You are faithful, You are True and the answers to my questions will come as I am faithful too I've heard You're more faithful than the morning That Your words can calm the seas That Your love, too vast to measure, will not be taken from me I've heard that You are listening to every prayer and every cry Lord I need to know, You're at work in my life Lord I need to know everything will be alright

Only One Thing is Needed 04:53
lyrics

Sitting here going nowhere fast, I hit a wall I just couldn't get past Every step forward has seemed to mean two more steps back Been trying to live in my own strength Desiring Your paths but not seeking Your face Running in circles, refusing to yield to Your grace Only one thing is needed - that is to sit at Your feet Now I will trust in Your unfailing love Sure of what I hope and certain of what I can't see Oh and nothing can take that from me Letting go of a thousand lies that distracted my heart and caused me to strive Invite me again to rest in Your Truth and abide Let my life be an offering, bringing honour and glory to You my King That begins at Your feet where You give me new songs to sing Only one thing is needed - that is to sit at Your feet Now I will trust in Your unfailing love Sure of what I hope and certain of what I can't see Oh and nothing can take that from me

Here I Am 04:37
lyrics

I cannot see one step in front of me But I'm laying down all my fear here at Your feet You are faithful there's no reason to doubt You Here is my fearful heart, Lead me You are Holy, You are Beauty, and You have captured my heart You are Worthy, You have saved me, Your grace has set me apart Here I am, Here I am, Oh God As the road back gets further behind me Familiar doubts and fears allure me to stray I will remember what it cost to redeem me Your sacrifice becomes my praise You are Holy, You are Beauty, and You have captured my heart You are Worthy, You have saved me, Your grace has set me apart Here I am, Here I am, Oh God

lyrics

Your love is breathing new life into me Death's power is defeated in Your victory On a cross You bore the weight of our sin and shame As was promised You rose to life again You are the King of heaven, our Sovereign Lord The sweetest treasure, You're our greatest reward Your beauty Jesus cannot be compared Our strength, our portion, our richest of fare When abundant life is found in You Where else would we turn to? Your words are speaking new life into me I once was captive but You declared my liberty You turn depression into songs of praise All that was lost You're redeeming it by Your grace You are the King of heaven, our Sovereign Lord The sweetest treasure, You're our greatest reward Your beauty Jesus cannot be compared Our strength, our portion, our richest of fare When abundant life is found in You Where else would we turn to? You are the Truth, the Life, and the Way I choose to follow You all of my days You are the King of heaven, our Sovereign Lord The sweetest treasure, You're our greatest reward Your beauty Jesus cannot be compared Our strength, our portion, our richest of fare When abundant life is found in You Where else would we turn to?

I've grown weary I am tired I've been running from home and now I'm lost I've retreated I've burned bridges I've been running from You, ignored the cost I've been in the fire, I've been in the wind I was on that mountain where my faith grew thin But You were not there so where can I find You You said in the stillness, in the stillness It's in repentance, it's when I return It's in the quiet when I get what I don't deserve It's my salvation, Its my strength It's where I'll find You Jesus, It's where my souls made new In these battles I've all but won I've been fighting too long and can't go on I'm defeated My strengths depleted I cry out "Jesus," be my victory song I've been in the fire, I've been in the wind I was on that mountain where my faith grew thin But You were not there so where can I find You You said in the stillness, in the stillness It's in repentance, it's when I return It's in the quiet when I get what I don't deserve It's my salvation, Its my strength It's where I'll find You Jesus, It's where my souls made new When I turn to You, Your grace it greets me (Turn to You) When I rest in You, Peace is overtaking (Rest in You) Trade my burdens for You, for Your yoke, Your yoke thats easy (Trade it all) I've been in the fire, I've been in the wind I was on that mountain where my faith grew thin But You were not there so where can I find You You said in the stillness, in the stillness It's in repentance, it's when I return It's in the quiet when I get what I don't deserve It's my salvation, Its my strength It's where I'll find You Jesus, It's where my souls made new

Here on bended knees Weary and worn, burdened and weak I lift my gaze, my hope's above And choose to trust in Your unfailing love You are good God, Your grace abounds It pursues me till I am found Mercy welcomes me as Pride and Striving Cease Your Grace is Sufficient for me I will boast in You In Your power and in Your Truth Holding fast to Your promises And in my weakness I'll have confidence You are good God, Your grace abounds It pursues me till I am found Mercy welcomes me as Pride and Striving Cease Your Grace is Sufficient for me In the joy and in the pain In mourning cries and singing praise When laughter breaks and tears they flow Oh I know, I know You are good God, Your grace abounds It pursues me till I am found Mercy welcomes me as Pride and Striving Cease Your Grace is Sufficient for me

You set us Free 04:15
lyrics
buy track
Look at the stars we haven't seen them in awhile Remember the one that we thought shone just for us When did we forget how to trust? Look at the sparrow so simple so small He doesn't store away and yet he has all that he needs When did we let go of Your dreams? God give us faith Help us turn our eyes onto Your face Teach us to trust in the love that pour out on us As we turn to You - You set us free Look at the waves blown and tossed in the sea Such is the heart that will ask then doubt he'll receive Steady our hearts unbelief God give us faith Help us turn our eyes back to Your face Teach us to trust in the love that pour out on us As we turn to You - You set us free We'll fly higher and higher As we let our striving cease You release us in freedom as we open our hands and receive God give us faith Help us turn our eyes onto Your face Teach us to trust in the love that pour out on us As we turn to You - You set us free

Man of Prayer 05:10
lyrics
buy track
I haven't lived too long Only fought a few fights But the life that I treasure comes with a great price To lay down all I have and to risk every dream For a glory much greater, a purpose redeemed To be the man I'm called to be seems just beyond reach On my own its like a weight I can't bear What you'll learn about me as days turn to years Is I long to be a man of prayer I'm always falling from the greatest of heights Choosing self over Jesus, choosing death over life Feeling so hopeless, will I know victory Or continue defeated, aching to live free To be the man I'm called to be seems just beyond reach On my own its like a weight I can't bear What you'll learn about me as days turn to years Is I long to be a man of prayer Grace upon Grace abounds to a sinful man like me Grace upon Grace abounds and it's setting me free I pray to stand strong for the woman I love To follow God's leading, to surrender my all To walk pure and blameless in fear of my King To serve and give wholly of all He's given me To be the man I'm called to be seems just beyond reach On my own its like a weight I can't bear What you'll learn about me as days turn to years Is I long to be a man of prayer When I look my life; my kids and my wife Will they say "He's been a man of prayer"
