Third Day

Blackbird, why you wearing that frown?
Don't you know Jesus loves you and me
and the preacher on T.V. you're putting down

Blackbird, how I love to hear your songs
I could spend all of my time in the shade
of the trees and listen all day long

Chorus:
But you're ever hearing, never understanding
ever seeing, not perceiving and your heart
has grown callous
you're in a storm and lost your way
won't you fly to heaven and be saved today

Blackbird, now you're broken your wing
you try to fly high but you know that you
can't go anywhere, you can't do anything

Blackbird, who put you in your cage
tell me, was it God or was it you
was it me? I guess it don't matter anyway

Repeat Chorus

(Bridge) You say you need a remedy
for the thorn in your pride
I think it's such a tragedy
that you have left him behind

you say you'd light your candle
but your love light doesn't shine
you say you talk to angels
well I say it's such a lie

Repeat Chorus

Set this place on fire
Send Your spirit, Savior
Rescue from all the mire
Show Your servant favor

Yesterday was the day that I was alone
Now I'm in the presence of Almighty God

Chorus:
and yes our God, He is a consuming fire
And the flames burn down deep in my soul
Yes our God He is a consuming fire
He reaches inside and He melts down this cold heart of stone

Set this place on fire
Send Your spirit, Savior
Rescue from all the mire
Show your servant favor

Yesterday was the day that I was alone
Now I'm in the presence of Almighty God

and yes our God, He is a consuming fire
And the flames burn down deep in my soul
Yes our God He is a consuming fire
He reaches inside and He melts down this cold heart of stone

Did you realize that inside you there is a flame?
Did you ever try to let it burn?

There was a time in your life
When you wanted the pain to leave
There were tears in your eyes
You were down on your knees
Asking forgiveness. Said you'd do anything
But, did ya mean it?

Chorus
And I know you know the difference
Between a promise and a lie
And I know you know the difference
Between what is wrong and right
I know you said you gave it all to Jesu Christ
You said that someday. Said you'd do anything
But, did ya mean it?

There was a time in your life
When you were so afraid
Nothing could go right
You got on your knees and prayed
You said that someday. You would do anything
But, did ya mean it?
Now the time has come to make yor promise true
But you sit around after all He's done for you
You need forgiveness, you don't do anything
You didn't mean it

(Chorus)

I see a hand
reaching out to help me, but I don't understand
all of your ways
you are still the potter and I am just the clay
and though I know at time I am too proud
to reach for you, to help me out
but if I waited on my self to get it right
I would be waiting here forever

Chorus:
Your grace is never going to change
your faith always will remain
your love is the same yesterday, today, and forever

I see a world
looking for an answer, but I don't know what for
when will we realize
that we're sinners in the hands of a loving God
who came and died, and wants to set us free
oh how he longs to be with you and me
but if we waited on the truth to change
we would be waiting here forever

repeat chorus

I can feel it in the air, I can see Him in this place
and I hope that He never leaves
I'm now without a care, it is something I can't explain
And I feel so free

Holy Spirit, we cry to you
Holy Spirit, in this place
Holy Spirit, we cry to you
Come down on us like a flame

Read about him in the Bible. He was in the men of God
And though I don't deserve it, He is in me
You can feel a new revival. Ask Jesus in your heart.
And you'll feel so free....

Holy Spirit, we cry to you
Holy Spirit, in this place
Holy Spirit, give us compfort
Come down on us like a flame

You've got to fell it, oh to believe it(You've got to fell it, oh to believe it)
You've got to see it, won't you recieve Him
Why don't you believe in....

Holy Spirit, we cry to you
Holy Spirit, in this place
Holy Spirit, give us compfort
Come down on us like a flame(like a flame)

Holy Spirit, we cry to you
Holy Spirit, in this place
Holy Spirit, give us compfort
Come down on us like a flame(like a flame)

Sometimes things don't work out quite the way
that you wanted them to
Sometimes people don't do all the things
that you wanted them to
There are times when
the answers aren't easy to see
Sometimes we're on a road
going back to a place we never wanted to be

CHORUS:
Well that's alright
I'm just fine. Done made up my mind
that I'm livin' for Jesus.

When I'm alone and feeling down
Now, down so deep in my heart
I turn to Jesus and ask Him
for a brand new start
He's the reason for my life
being something better and new
And now I've finally found a love
that is proven tried an true.

CHORUS (repeats)

I've heard it said that a man would climb a mountain
Just to be with the one he loves
How many times has he broken that promise
It has never been done.
I've never climbed the highest mountain
But I walked the hill of Calvary

Chorus:
Just to be with you, I'd do anything
There's no price I would not pay
Just to be with you, I'd give everything
I would give my life away.

I've heard it said that a man would swim the ocean
Just to be with the one he loves
But all of those dreams are an empty emotion
It can never be done
I've never swam the deepest ocean
But I walked upon the raging sea

Repeat chorus

(Bridge) I know that you don't understand
the fullness of My love
How I died upon the cross for your sins
And I know that you don't realize
how much that I gave you
But I promise, I would do it all again.

Just to be with you, I've done everything
There's no price I did not pay
Just to be with you, I gave everything
Yes, I gave my life away.

Lyrics & Music by Mac Powell

From the recording: Third Day, Track #1.

On and On... she goes
Where she stops no one really knows
Everybody's got a problem so it seems and
She ain't afraid of tellin' me
If you can't say nothin' good, don't say nothin' at all

On and On...he goes
Now look who's playin' the fool
Criticizing, telling lies, putting down
ain't you got nothin' better to do?
If you can't say nothin' good, don't say nothin' at all

Chorus:
'Cause I know that there are times in life
When we just can't keep it to ourselves
but to want is not to make it right
We've got to tame our tongue
If you can't say nothin' good, don't say nothin' at all

On and on...we go
playin the game that never ends
I think it's time that we all realize
a broken heart is hard to mend
If you can't say nothin' good don't say nothin' at all

James 3:5-10

Repeat Chorus

We praise you oh Lord for the love that You give
And the time that You spent on this world for our sins
We lift up Your name in honor and praise
in Jesus we place all our love and our faith

Chorus:
And we know that You are the Saviour
And we know that You are the Son
And we know that You are the Saviour
of everyone

The time is now near when You will appear
When we see Your face and Your voice we will hear
and then we will sing to Jesus the King
The Maker, Creator of everything

Chorus

Repeat Verse 1

Chorus

How many times have I have turned away
The number is the same as the sand on the shore
Every time You've taken me back
And now I pray You'll do it once more

Please take from me my life
When I don't have the strength
To give it away to You
Please take from me my life
When I don't have the strength
To give it away to You, Jesus

How many times have I gone astray
The number is the same as the stars in the sky
Every time You've taken me back
And now I pray You'll do it tonight

I am a thief, I am a murderer
Walking up this lonely hill
What have I done? No, I don't remember
No one knows just how I feel
and I know that my time is coming soon.
It's been so long. Oh, such a long time
Since I've lived with peace and rest
Now I am here, my destination
I guess things work for the best.
and I know that my time is coming soon.
Who is this man? This man beside me
They call the King of the Jews
They don't believe that He's the Messiah
But, somehow I know it's true.
They laugh at Him in mockery,
and they beat Him till He bleeds
They nail Him to the rugged cross,
They raise Him, they raise Him up next to me
My time has come, I'm slowly fading
I deserve what I receive
Jesus when You are in Your kingdom
Could You please, please remember me
and He looks at me still holding on
the tears fall from His eyes
He says I tell the truth
Today, you will live with me in paradise
and I know that my time,yes, my time is coming soon
and I know that my time,yes, my time is coming soon
And I know Paradise,Paradise is coming soon.

Never mind all the things you heard about me
You're never gonna understand it
Every time that I've given you the truth
It's never made a bit of difference

Disappointment takes you
Then the doubt, it breaks you
It's enough to make you cry

Always looking for a sign
Miracles won't change your mind
Tell me how much evidence you need
Turning truth into a lie
Hardened heart and blinded eye
All you need to do is just believe

Never mind what you think that you had seen
It all can change in just a moment
Here before you is sall the proof you need
Why can't you ever just believe it?

No, I didn't see this one commin'
It suddenly snuck up on me
I can't say you didn't tell me so
I can't say you didn't warn me

Well I can't take the pain,
Knowing that I left you
And I can't bear the shame
Of knowing I was wrong
But I'll take the blame for everything that I've done
But I can't take the pain of leaving you alone
leaving you alone

I was there when they accused you
But I guess I was too affraid
Not just once, and not just twice
But three times I denied your name

Well I can't take the pain,
Knowing that I left you
And I can't bear the shame
Of knowing I was wrong
But I'll take the blame for everything that I've done
But I can't take the pain of leaving you alone
leaving you alone

I never thought I'd get
Even a second chance
But you've given that, and so much more
And then for every time I ever did deny,
You asked me if I love you
You know I do, Lord

So I'm off to follow in your steps
It won't be easy, it's safe to say
Only two roads I can walk on down
The one less traveled is the one you paved

But I can't take the pain,
Knowing that I left you
And I can't bear the shame
Of knowing I was wrong
But I'll take the blame for everything that I've done
But I can't take the pain of leaving you alone
leaving you alone

Lord, you took the pain
Even though I left you
And you took the shame, and you made it all your own
Why'd you take the blame for everything that I've done?
Lord, you took the pain, you and you alone

You and you alone.

Look outside, the autumn leaves are falling
Deep inside you hear the road is calling
And I know you want to walk away
And leave it all behind
You're running from nothing
Chasing lies can find you tired and jaded
And in your world the colors have all faded
If you think that you can find a place
To get away from the pain
You're looking for nothing

And I hate to see you leave without a fight

Time will open doors for you
Wishes spent make dreams come true
I promise I'll be there
Don't say goodbye

Take my hand, let's walk a while together
Holding hands won't make love last forever
But I know you probably need someone
To help you work it out
You've gotta do something

You said all that follow you may find
Comfort and pain, blessings in hard times

Were I to leave, where else would I go?
The words of life and of truth you hold

CHORUS:
All I want is love
I confess to this
I will take it, Lord
All you have to give

How great the love lavished on us all
That we can be the children of God

I don't know how to explain it
But I know that words will hardly do
Miracles with signs and wonders
Aren't enough for me to prove to you

Don't you know that I've always loved you
Even before there was time
Though you turn from me
I'll tell you still
Don't you know that I've always loved you
And I always will

Greater love has not a man
Than the one who gives his life to prove
That he would do anything
So that's what I'm going to do for you

Take me from my home
Drag me with a tether
Tell me its all wrong, the things i've always known
Instill in me all that you think will make all of us better
Do just what you want it matters not to me

And I will never bow down
For I know I will be saved from the fire
And I will never compromise
All that I have and everything I own

Called the Son of Man
To show us what You have made
Command us all to fall
The music starts to fade
And everyone from everywhere
Will show You their allegience
But the child of God will faithfully stand tall

And I will never bow down
For I know I will be saved from the fire
And I will never compromise
All that I have and everything I own
Oh no, oh no

I'll never bow down
Oh no, oh no
Aww yeah

And I will never bow down
For I know I will be saved from the fire
And I will never compromise
All that I have and everything I own

And I will never bow down
For I know we will be saved from the fire
And we will never compromise
All that we have and everything we hold
Oh no, oh no no
We'll never bow down

People talkin' like it's the end of time
I look up to the heavens for a sign
Everybody's lookin' at me
But I won't be deceived or afraid
'Cause I know that the son is on the way

Sky falls down
It crumbles into the sea
The sun goes out
He's coming back for me
I'll be found at the place
Where the gravity leaves the ground
I won't be comin' down now

I've heard rumors that war's not far away
If they take me I know just what to say
Everybody's up in arms
But I won't be alarmed or afraid
'Cause I know that the son is on the way

Sky falls down
It crumbles into the sea
The sun goes out
He's coming back for me
I'll be found at the place
Where the gravity leaves the ground
I won't be comin' down down

Lost like a little child
Helpless as a baby
Searchin' desperately to find
Someone who could save me

Then along came from out of nowhere
Precious as the light of day
You gave me something no one could take
away
When you took my place

Chained like a prisoner
From the day I was born
Blamed like a criminal
For the things that I'd done

Then along came from out of nowhere
Precious as the light of day
You gave me something no one could take
away
When you took my place

Repeat

Rich young man, you think you can
Make it through the world on the things
you've got
I'll tell you, I know it's true
You can't get to heaven on things you've
bought

They're going to leave you
They're going to fade away

What good is it a man
To gain the whole world
And forfeit his soul
What good is it a man
To gain the whole world
And forfeit his soul

Poor old soul, he got more
Than the kings of a thousand countries
What he owns ain't silver or gold
This boy is bound for glory

He's going to leave us
He going to fly away

Your Love, Oh Lord
Reaches to the heavens
Your faithfulness
Stretches to the skies
Your righteousness
Is like the mighty mountain
Your justice flows like the ocean's tide

I will lift my voice
To worship You my King
And I will find my strength
In the shadow of Your wings

Your Love, Oh Lord
Reaches to the heavens
Your faithfulness
Stretches to the skies
Your righteousness
Is like the mighty mountain
Your justice flows like the ocean's tide

I will lift my voice
To worship You my King
And I will find my strength
In the shadow of Your wings

Repeat 2x's

Your Love, Oh Lord
Reaches to the heavens
Your faithfulness
Stretches to the skies

As your children gather in peace
All the angels sing in Heaven
In your temple all that I seek
Is to glimpse your holy presence

All the heavens cannot hold you, Lord
How much less to dwell in me?
I can only make my one desire
Holding on to Thee

All the angels exault you on high
What a kingdom to depart
But you left your throne in the sky
Just to live inside my heart

All the heavens cannot hold you, Lord
How much less to dwell in me?
I can only make my one desire
Holding on to Thee

I will always make my one desire
Holding onto Thee

Set this place on fire
Send Your spirit, Savior
Rescue from all the mire
Show Your servant favor

Yesterday was the day that I was alone
Now I'm in the presence of Almighty God

Chorus:
and yes our God, He is a consuming fire
And the flames burn down deep in my soul
Yes our God He is a consuming fire
He reaches inside and He melts down this cold heart of stone

Set this place on fire
Send Your spirit, Savior
Rescue from all the mire
Show your servant favor

Yesterday was the day that I was alone
Now I'm in the presence of Almighty God

and yes our God, He is a consuming fire
And the flames burn down deep in my soul
Yes our God He is a consuming fire
He reaches inside and He melts down this cold heart of stone

Did you realize that inside you there is a flame?
Did you ever try to let it burn?

Who is this King of Glory
That pursues me with his love
And haunts me with each hearing
Of His softly spoken words
My conscience, a reminder
Of forgiveness that I need
Who is this King of Glory
Who offers it to me
Who is this King of Angels,
Oh blessed Prince of Peace
Revealing things of Heaven
And all its mysteries
My spirit's ever longing
For His grace in which to stand
Who's this King of Glory,
Son of God and son of man

Chorus:
His name is Jesus
Precious Jesus
The Lord Almighty
The King of my heart
The King of glory

Who is this King of Glory
With strength and majesty
And wisdom beyond measure
The gracious King of kings
The Lord of Earth and Heaven
The Creator of all things
He is the King of Glory
He's everything to me

Chorus

The Lord of Earth and Heaven
The Creator of all things
Who is this King of Glory
He's everything to me

Chorus

I've heard it said that a man would climb a mountain
Just to be with the one he loves
How many times has he broken that promise
It has never been done.
I've never climbed the highest mountain
But I walked the hill of Calvary

Chorus:
Just to be with you, I'd do anything
There's no price I would not pay
Just to be with you, I'd give everything
I would give my life away.

I've heard it said that a man would swim the ocean
Just to be with the one he loves
But all of those dreams are an empty emotion
It can never be done
I've never swam the deepest ocean
But I walked upon the raging sea

Repeat chorus

(Bridge) I know that you don't understand
the fullness of My love
How I died upon the cross for your sins
And I know that you don't realize
how much that I gave you
But I promise, I would do it all again.

Just to be with you, I've done everything
There's no price I did not pay
Just to be with you, I gave everything
Yes, I gave my life away.

To You, Oh Lord, I lift my soul
In You, Oh God, I place my trust
Do not let me be put to shame
Nor let my enemies triumph over me

My hope is You
Show me Your ways
Guide me in truth
In all my days
My hope is You

I am, Oh Lord, filled with Your love
You are, Oh God, my salvation
Guard my life and rescue me
My broken spirit shouts
My mended heart cries out

I was blinded by the devil, born already ruined
Stone-cold dead as I stepped out of the womb
By His grace I have been touched
By His word I have been healed
By His hand I've been delivered
By His spirit I've been sealed

Now I've been saved by the blood of the Lamb
I'm saved by the blood of the Lamb
And I'm so glad
Yes, I'm so glad
Now I'm so glad (So glad)
I want to thank you, Lord
I just want to thank you, Lord
Thank You, Lord (Thank You, Lord)

By His truth I can be upright
By His strength I can endure
By His power I've been lifted
In His love I am secure
He bought me with a price
Freed me from the pit
Full of emptiness and wrath
And the fire that burns in it

Nobody to rescue me
Nobody was there
I was going down for the last time
But by His mercy I've been spared
Not by works
But by faith in Him who called
For so long I've been hindered
For so long I've been stalled

These thousand hills roll ever on
Footprints of a mighty God
They bring me to my knees in praise
Amazing love, amazing grace

T'was on a hill my Savior died
A broken heart and bleeding side
Hill of the Skull, Mount Calvary
The blood He shed, He shed for me

When Heaven's hills at last I roam
Forever settled in my home
I'll join the saints around your throne
Your kingdom, Lord, rolls ever on

La La La La La La La La ( x7 )

These thousand hills roll ever on
Footprints of a mighty God
They bring me to my knees in praise
Amazing love, amazing grace

These thousand hills roll ever on
Ripples of the coming storm
The morning star precedes the dawn
These thousand hills roll ever on

La La La La La La La La ( x7 )

I am a thief, I am a murderer
Walking up this lonely hill
What have I done? No, I don't remember
No one knows just how I feel
and I know that my time is coming soon.
It's been so long. Oh, such a long time
Since I've lived with peace and rest
Now I am here, my destination
I guess things work for the best.

He says I tell the truth
Today, you will live with me in paradise
and I know that my time,yes, my time is coming soon
and I know that my time,yes, my time is coming soon
And I know Paradise,Paradise is coming soon.

Like the rain that falls to the earth below
Watering the seed to grow
So it is with Your precious word, oh Lord
It won't return until I know that

You're everywhere
You're everywhere

Like the wind that blows no one really knows
From where it comes or where it goes
So it is with Your Holy Spirit Lord
Falling known on us to show that

You're everywhere
Like the rain that's falling
You're everywhere
Like the wind that's blowing
You're everywhere
Like the sun that's on my face
I feel the warmth in Your embrace
Your are everywhere

My Lord, now I truly know
That I could never go from Your presence
My God, You are everywhere
From the lowest depths to the Heavens
You're always there

Your Love, Oh Lord
Reaches to the heavens
Your faithfulness
Stretches to the skies
Your righteousness
Is like the mighty mountain
Your justice flows like the ocean's tide

I will lift my voice
To worship You my King
And I will find my strength
In the shadow of Your wings

Your Love, Oh Lord
Reaches to the heavens
Your faithfulness
Stretches to the skies
Your righteousness
Is like the mighty mountain
Your justice flows like the ocean's tide

I will lift my voice
To worship You my King
And I will find my strength
In the shadow of Your wings

Repeat 2x's

Your Love, Oh Lord
Reaches to the heavens
Your faithfulness
Stretches to the skies

Here I am at what feels like the end
So I come to you, my Lord, again
With this burden buried deep within
This heart that you have made
And in this trial that I'm going through
I don't question 'cause I know it's true
That the sorrow brings me back to you
And you have made me stronger

(Chorus)
It's been 40 days and 40 nights
Down the road of many trials
And I pray it's only for a season
'Cause in the wilderness and in the flood
You're the one I'm thinkin' of
'Cause I know you've brought me for a reason

I have one more thing I've got to say
Before they try to take my life away
Let it be known that I am not afraid
Let your will be done, Lord

(Repeat chorus 2x)

So you think you had me
Had me in your sights
I've got news for you
I'm working over time
To get away from slander
To stay away from lies
I won't listen to you criticize

Chorus:

Get on, get on get away from me
If you're trying to bring me down
If you're trying to bring me down
Get on, get on get away from me
If you're trying to bring me down
If you're trying to bring me down

I've been doin some thinking
And I think you're wrong
For trying to put down
What I've been working on
So if you want to break me
You better stay away
I won't listen, no
I won't listen to you today

Excuse me if i still question
Carefully all of your intentions
I've decided that I won't listen
Because your words only bring division

(repeat chorus 2x)

Cannot find the words to say I'm sorry
Don't know how to show You I was wrong
Wasted all that You had given me
Now I'm left with nothing and no one
And I find it's my fault
I'm the only one to blame
For the tears and the pain

I don't know what I can say
Or would it matter anyway
'Cause I don't know how you could still forgive me
For all that I have put You through
Is there anything that I can do
I would give my life to find Your mercy
What will I find that You have already
I don't know

All my life has lead to this decision
To return and ask You this one thing
And if I had one chance or if a million
Would it ever be enough for me
To explain what I've done
Now I know that I was wrong
Will you hold me again

I don't know what I can say
Or would it matter anyway
'Cause I don't know how You can still forgive me
for all that I have out You through
Is there anything I can do
I would give my life to find Your mercy
What will it take until You forgive me
I don't know

And I find it's my fault
I'm the only one to blame
For the tears and the pain

I don't know what I can say
Or would it matter anyway
'Cause I don't know how You could still forgive me
For all that I have put You through
Is there anything that I can do
I would give my life to find your mercy
I don't know what I can say
Or would it matter anyway
'Cause I don't know how You could

What kind of song do you want to sing for me?
Is it slow or is it rock and roll?
What kind of day do you want to bring to me?
Rain or shine, I would be just fine

'Cause I've got everything I need
I got everything
I got everything

I got you and you're putting it all together
And it doesn't get any better as far as I can tell
I got you right now and ever after
And it doesn't even really matter
That I've got nothing else
'Cause I got you

Where do I go when I want to know the truth?
It isn't me, well it's only you
When will I know what you have for me to do?
Is it now or is it coming soon?

Be it pleasure or be it pain
I'm ready for whatever life may bring
'Cause I know that in the end
Everything works together
For the good of those who love Him

Your letter said that you were leaving
But you didn't know how long
I have never stopped believing
That one day you would return
And though waiting is the hardest
Part of everything I do
I do confess it's getting better
Knowing I will be with you

CHORUS
It's alright
It's okay
I won't worry about tomorrow
For it brings me one more day
Closer than I was to you

Now the question isn't "will you"
What I want to know is "when"
If it's one day or a million
I will wait for you till 'til then
So I'm holding on to your words
And the promises you've made
There is not one you have broken
There's not one I didn't take

CHORUS

Your letter said that you were leaving
But you didn't know how long
I will never stop believing
I know one day you will return

CHORUS (2x)

I paint a picture, I think it's easier to live that way
But my heart is really broken
I'm not the man you think I am when you see me
each day
Torn apart and then left open

Father come and fill me up
I can't wait for You to overflow my cup

My heart makes me wonder how much longer
'Til You're coming back to take me away
My heart longs for You to fly right through the sky
And take me to the place where I
Will never feel my heart break down again

I search the sky and then I try imagining You there
Looking on anticipating
You're standing by and knowing I will join You in the air
Until then I'll be here waiting

I've heard all the stories
I've seen all the signs
Witnessed all the glory
Tasted all that's fine

Nothing compares to the greatness of knowing You, Lord
Nothing compares to the greatness of knowing You, Lord

I see all the people
Wasting all their time
Building up their riches
For a life that's fine

I find myself just living for today
'Cause I don't know what
Tomorrow's gonna bring
So no matter if I rise or fall
I'll never be alone, oh no

I caught a glimpse of Your splendor
In the corner of my eye
The most beautiful thing I've ever seen
And it was like a flash of lightning
Reflected off the sky
And I know I'll never be the same

Show me Your glory
Send down Your presence
I want to see Your face
Show me Your glory
Majesty shines about You
I can't go on without You, Lord

When I climb down the mountain
And get back to my life
I won't settle for ordinary things
I'm gonna follow You forever
And for all of my days
I won't rest 'til I see You again

Show me Your glory
Show me Your glory
I can't live without You

Sing praises to our God, sing praises
Sing praises to our King, sing praises
Let all the nations sing
Let all the nations sing of His love
Oh, sing praises

So shout for joy all of His children
So shout for joy all of His children
Let all the people sing
Let all the people sing of His love
Oh, sing praises

For You are God and You are worthy
Of all our lives and all our praise
And so we sing to the Most Holy
The Lord, our God
The Lord, our King

Sing Praises to our God, sing praises
Sing Praises to our King, sing praises
For He alone is God
For He alone is worthy of praise
Oh, sing praises

There was a time when I thought that I had You figured out
I told You before and I'll say it once more
Now and then I have my doubts
I'll never pretend to know what You are doing
It's true that You move in mysterious ways

I looked for You in
The fire and in the wind
But You weren't there as far as I could see
I thought I'd hear You shout
But then I figured it out
That all along You're whispering to me
And I'm still listening

Just when I thought that I had caught a glimpse of who You are
You taught me a lesson I needed to learn
Right from the very start
I never will be the man that I quite need to be
But that's alright 'cause You're enough for me

When the rain comes it seems that everyone has
gone away
When the night falls you wonder if you shouldn't
find someplace
To run and hide
Escape the pain
But hiding's such lonely thing to do

(Chorus)
I can't stop the rain
From falling down on you again
I can't stop the rain
But I will hold you 'til it goes away

When the rain comes you blame it on the things
that you have done
When the storm fades you know that rain must fall
on everyone
So rest awhile
It'll be alright
No one loves you like I do

(Chorus) (x2)

When the rain comes
I will hold you

I can't do anything
I can't do anything without You
But You can do everything
You can do everything You want
I just can't believe
I can't believe that You would love me
After everything
After everything I've done

And I want to love You
Love You more than life itself
And I want to hold You
Even though You can't be held
Because You're so much more
Than everything I've ever known
Anything, anything

I'd give anything
I would give anything to hold You
I want to live for You
For You alone I want to live
When I see Your face
I would do anything to know You
You gave everything
You gave all You have to give

Halle, hallelujah
Halle, hallelujah
Halle, hallelujah

I believe in God the Father
Almighty Maker of Heaven and Maker of Earth
And in Jesus Christ His only begotten Son, our Lord
He was conceived by the Holy Spirit
Born of the virgin Mary
Suffered under Pontius Pilate
He was crucified and dead and buried

Chorus:
And I believe what I believe is what makes me what I am
I did not make it, no it is making me
It is the very truth of God and not the invention of any man

I believe that He who suffered, was crucified, buried, and dead
He descended into hell and on the third day, He rose again
He ascended into Heaven where He sits at God's mighty right hand
I believe that He's returning
To judge the quick and the dead of the sons of men

And I believe what I believe is what makes me what I am
I did not make it, no it is making me
It is the very truth of God and not the invention of any man

I believe it, I believe it
I believe it
Yes, I believe it
Oh, I believe it

I believe in God the Father
Almighty Maker of Heaven and Maker of Earth
And in Jesus Christ His only begotten Son, our Lord
I believe in the Holy Spirit
One Holy Church, the communion of Saints
The forgiveness of sin
I believe in the resurrection
I believe in a life the never ends

And I believe what I believe is what makes me what I am
I did not make it, no it is making me (x3)
It is the very truth of God and not the invention of any man

I believe it, I believe it...

Magnificent, holy father
I stand in awe of all i see
Of all the things you have created
Still you choose to think of me

And who am I that you should suffer
your very life to set me free
the only thing that i can give you
is the life you gave to me

Chorus
This is my offering, dear Lord
this is my offering to you, God
I will give you my life
for its all i have to give
because you gave your life for me

I stand before you at this altar
so many have given you more
i may not have much i can offer
Yet what i have is truly yours

Chorus

This is my offering
This is my offering, dear Lord
This is my offering to you, God
Well i will give you my life
For its all i have to give
Because you gave your life for me

This is my offering to you, God

Show me Your glory

I can't live without You

I want to sing a song for You, Lord
Lord, for You I want to sing a song
And I want to lift my voice to Heaven
And listen to the angels sing along

A song of Your faithfulness
A song of Your grace
And of Your loving kindness
To the glory of your name
With everything that's in me
Listen to me say
I want to sing a song for You
I want to sing a song

I want to live my life for You, Lord
Lord, for You I want to live my life
I want to praise the name of Jesus
Pray above all things You're glorified

A song of Your faithfulness
A song of Your grace
And of Your loving kindness
To the glory of your name
With everything that's in me
Listen to me say
I want to sing a song for You
I want to sing a song

And I sing about Your mercy
And I sing about Your love
Your goodness, Lord
Your righteousness
I want to sing....

And we'll sing holy, holy, holy
We'll sing holy, holy, holy
We'll shout holy, holy, holy
Are You Lord almighty

Yes, You are Lord

How many times have I have turned away
The number is the same as the sand on the shore
Every time You've taken me back
And now I pray You'll do it once more

Please take from me my life
When I don't have the strength
To give it away to You
Please take from me my life
When I don't have the strength
To give it away to You, Jesus

How many times have I gone astray
The number is the same as the stars in the sky
Every time You've taken me back
And now I pray You'll do it tonight

Ruler of the universe, higher than the kings of earth
Long before the world began, everything was in Your hands
Your glory will forever stand

For You are the Lord and You are God above
Your love goes on and on

You are the Everlasting Father
You are the Everlasting...
You are the Everlasting Light (oh yeah)
Every knee shall bow (every knee shall bow) before You
You are the Everlasting Life

You rule raging of the sea, the hills proclaim your majesty
All these things created for, the glorifying of the Lord
We praise Your name forever more

For You are the Lord and You are God above
Your love goes on and on

You are the Everlasting Father
You are the Everlasting...
You are the Everlasting Light (oh yeah)
Every knee shall bow (every knee shall bow) before You
Lord of Mercy we adore You (we adore You)
You are the Everlasting Life

My heart cries out
My spirit shouts
I'll praise Your name forever more

You are beautiful my sweet, sweet song
You are beautiful my sweet, sweet song
You are beautiful my sweet, sweet song
And I will sing again

You are so good to me
You heal my broken heart
You are my father in Heaven (2x)

You are beautiful my sweet, sweet song
You are beautiful my sweet, sweet song

You ride upon the clouds
You lead me to the truth
You are the Spirit inside me (2x)

You are my strong melody, yeah
You are my dancing rhythm
You are my perfect rhyme
And I will sing of You forever

You poured out all Your blood
You died upon the cross
You are my Jesus who loves me (2x)

You are my Father in Heaven
You are the Spirit inside me
You are my Jesus who loves me

Give me something
That I can believe
And then I'll share
It with all the world
For everyone to see
Take away the darkeness,
All the pain and sadness
I know it's you that put
This light inside of me

Chorus:
I belive in faith
That's strong
I believe in a hope
That carries on
I belive in these
Thing and more
Most of all,
Most of all
I believe in love

If I had the strength
To move a mountain
Would you be amazed
By all of my abilities?
I guess it would not mean
Much if I didn't have love
And this is what I really
Want you all to see

I wanna tell you
I wanna tell you just how I feel
I will show you
I will show you my love is real

Nobody's ever gonna love you like I am
You never can deny that
Nobody's ever gonna hold you like I am
I'll love you 'til I die


Until the day I die

I said "forever"
I said "forever" and I mean it
I made a promise
And I intend to always keep it

Forever is so far beyond the reach of my mind
So I'll give all I have, my heart, my love, my life

Super Star Billy Brown
Whatcha doin to this town?
Don't cha know that everybody here
Wants to be like you?
All of your adoring fans
Sitting in the seats and stands
Listening to every word you say
Once I saw a sign that said Billy Brown for President

It ain't easy being a star
It ain't easy to be who you are
It ain't easy but you're going far
Well, you say there's nothing to it
But somebody's gotta do it, boy

Super Star Billy Brown
Everybody's screaming out your name
Do they kow the reason why
You point your finger to the sky
We are all watching and expect
That whatever you are doing next
Well, it is gonna be the greatest thing
That we have ever seen

Each and every single day
I was throwing life away with questions
Searching for a better day
Always looking in the wrong direction

My heart I could not trust
'Cause it lies to me too much
And my mind just couldn't
Understand it all

Chorus:
How could I have been
So blind to not see you?
The more that I look the more I find
You've led me to the truth
That I am nothing if I'm without you
You opened my eyes and helped me to find
How could I have been so blind?

I have fallen once again
Evidently made the wrong decision
Stumbling in the dark
Now I need you here to be my vision

My heart I cannot trust
'Cause it lies to me too much
And my mind just couldn't
Understand it all

You took my heart and you changed it
With your words of life
You took my eyes and you opened them
And gave me sight

Come on back to me
Come on back to me
Come on back to me
Come on back to me

You've been hiding out for so long
I never understood why
Running far away from the truth
and all along chasing after lies

I have loved you from the beginning
long before you were mine, yeah
And even though you've broken my heart
I'll love you just the same
I'll love you anyway

Never mind your worries
Never mind your fears
They can only take you far from me
when you feel there's nowhere left for you to turn
I got all you want
and everything you need
come on back to me

Do you believe in second chances
With a love that never fades
Put your faith in what you can't see
just put your hand in mine
I'll show you the way

Never mind your worries
Never mind your fears
They can only take you far from me
when you feel there's nowhere left for you to turn
I got all you want
and everything you need
come on back to me

come on back to me (3x)

Never mind your worries
Never mind your fears
They can only take you far from me
oh when you feel there's nowhere left for you to turn
I got all you want
and everything you need
come on back to me
come on back to me
come on back to me
come on back to me now

come on back, come on back, come on back to me
come on back, come on back, come on back to me now
come on back to me

Give me something
That I can believe
And then I'll share
It with all the world
For everyone to see
Take away the darkeness,
All the pain and sadness
I know it's you that put
This light inside of me

Chorus:
I belive in faith
That's strong
I believe in a hope
That carries on
I belive in these
Thing and more
Most of all,
Most of all
I believe in love

If I had the strength
To move a mountain
Would you be amazed
By all of my abilities?
I guess it would not mean
Much if I didn't have love
And this is what I really
Want you all to see

I got a message
I got a song
Can I get a witness?
Tell me what's going on
I'll show the people
A better way
Maybe I will tomorrow
Maybe I will today

'Cause I got a feeling it won't be long
Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong
But I know one thing for sure
Only time will tell it
I got a feeling coming over me
Nothing else here can set me free
But I know one thing for sure
Well, I've got to show it

I got a mission
I got a sign
Is anybody listening?
I gotta make sure this time
I'll tell the people
What's on my mind
Maybe I will tomorrow
Maybe I will tonight

'Cause I got a feeling it won't be long
Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong
But I know one thing for sure
Only time will tell it
I got a feeling coming over me
Nothing else here can set me free
But I know one thing for sure
Well, I've got to show it
Oh, I got a feeling
Oh, I got a feeling
Oh, I got a feeling

I got a message
I got a song
Everybody help me sing along
I got a message
I got a song
Everybody help me sing along
I got a message
I got a song
Everybody help me sing along
I got a message
I got a song
Everybody help me sing along

I got a feeling it won't be long
Maybe I'm right, maybe I'm wrong
But I know one thing for sure
Only time will tell it
I got a feeling coming over me
Nothing else here can set me free
But I know one thing for sure
Well, I've got to show it

'Cause I got a feeling
Oh, I got a feeling
Oh, I got a feeling
Oh, I got a feeling

Oh it won't be long...

Sometimes the night starts closing in
And I've lost my way home again
I'm running out of places I can turn
Enemies on every side
Not a friend around for miles
That's the time it really starts to hurt

PRE-CHORUS:
Beat me up and drag me down
I'll never be afraid

CHORUS:
I will hold my head high
Lift my hands to the sky
Rise above all who try to bring me down
I will hold my head high

I know you said it'd be okay
Sometimes I question just the same
I wonder if my problems are too small
Then I look back and realize
All your pain and sacrifice
Oo, and how you suffered for us all

PRE-CHORUS/CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Beat me up and drag me down
And lock me in or keep out
Whatever they may throw at me
I'll turn in to a song for you

CHORUS x2

It seemed like I had run out of second chances
And they sentenced me to die
And I was just like a dead man walking
I was running out of time
But you came to me and opened my eyes
You gave me a brand new life

Chorus:
I am innocent and I have been set free
I no longer have chains around my feet
And no matter where I go or what they say
I am innocent

Many years have past since the day that I met you
But your words are still the same
And everytime i find myself with joy or sadness
I am calling out your name
'Cause you came to me and opened my eyes
You gave to me a brand new life

I hate to be the one
Who's given up
And feels that all our hope is gone
But what I thought was a miracle
Just turned into the same old
Problem that it was

She longs for better days
She's always been afraid

Chorus:
It's a shame, oh it's a shame
That you are throwing your whole life away
It's a shame, oh it's a shame
I wonder if you're ever going to change
It's a shame

Ever since I can recall
She has been so afraid
Of you losing it all
What do you want?
Do you even know?
And is it worth the pain?
We all have to endure

She longs for better days
She's always been afraid

You left her without leaving
You hit her without swinging
You took away without giving a thing
Except for pain and sorrow
I'm praying that tomorrow
You will open up your eyes and see

words by Mac Powell / music by Third Day

I wanna be a rock star
But, I ain't got what it takes
The drive and the determination
And the lucky breaks
I wanna be a rock star
But, I ain't got the face
I wanna be a rock star
But, I ain't got what it takes

Seeing my face up on the TV
Hearing my songs on the radio
People waiting all day in line to see me
Doing my pose for Rolling Stone

Well, it's alright, yeah it's alright

Living lifestyles of the rich and famous
Turning all heads in the music scene
Flying in my own jet plane to Vegas
Riding in a big black limousine

Well, it's alright, yeah it's alright

No, I ain't got nothing
But, to you I'm something
Something so much more

Forever seems so distant
Much further than today
You turn around and in an instant
You find that you were just as far from yesterday
The day it feels like winter
The night it feels like a storm
You turn around and you remember
When you're surrounded you can still feel so alone

But it's in between the start and end
I find myself once again questioning this place
Calling out your name

CHORUS:
San Angelo, what do you know?
And tell me, do you have something to say?
Don't get me wrong
I miss my home
And it feels like I'm a million miles away
San Angelo

Why do I ask these questions
How come I have these doubts
Cause I found every situation
It always seems to have it's way of working out

But it's in between the start and end
I find myself once again questioning this place
Calling out your name

CHORUS

I'm a million miles away
I miss my home

CHORUS

Don't get me wrong
I miss my home
And it feels like I'm a million miles away

I'm a million miles away

San Angelo
San Angelo

Turn on the spotlight
Strike up the band
Everyone's looking my way
You came to see the excitement first hand
Hear all that I've got to say
And oh it makes me wonder
What if I slip will they catch me
Or watch me fall

CHORUS:
I am walking on a wire
Tiptoeing through the fire
Never looking down to see
And I am walking on a wire
The pressure's getting higher
But I don't look around

Everyone roots for the winner
The others, well maybe next time
The time at the top only last fifteen minutes
Then they'll just leave you behind
Oh it makes me wonder
What if I slip will they catch me
Or watch me fall

CHORUS

It's so far to the ground

Will you catch me
If I fall
Will you catch me
If I fall

What if I slip will they catch me
Or watch me fall

CHORUS

It's so far to the ground
I'm never looking down

Come on back to me
Come on back to me
Come on back to me
Come on back to me

You've been hiding out for so long
I never understood why
Running far away from the truth
and all along chasing after lies

I have loved you from the beginning
long before you were mine, yeah
And even though you've broken my heart
I'll love you just the same
I'll love you anyway

Never mind your worries
Never mind your fears
They can only take you far from me
when you feel there's nowhere left for you to turn
I got all you want
and everything you need
come on back to me

Do you believe in second chances
With a love that never fades
Put your faith in what you can't see
just put your hand in mine
I'll show you the way

Never mind your worries
Never mind your fears
They can only take you far from me
when you feel there's nowhere left for you to turn
I got all you want
and everything you need
come on back to me

come on back to me (3x)

Never mind your worries
Never mind your fears
They can only take you far from me
oh when you feel there's nowhere left for you to turn
I got all you want
and everything you need
come on back to me
come on back to me
come on back to me
come on back to me now

come on back, come on back, come on back to me
come on back, come on back, come on back to me now
come on back to me
