This is God
Could I please have your attention 
There’s a need for intervention 
Man, I’m disappointed in what I’m seeing 

Hey, This is God 
You fight each other in my name 
Treat life like it’s a foolish game 
Well, I say, you’ve got the wrong idea 

Oh, all I’m asking for is love 
Well, I’ve seen you hurt yourselves enough 
Oh, I’ve been waiting on a change in you 

Ya, this is God 
I’ve given everything to you 
Oh but look at what you do 
To the world that I created 

This is God 
What’s with this attitude and hate 
You grow more ignorant with age 
You had it made 
Now look at all you've wasted 

Oh, all I’m asking for is love 
Well, I’ve seen you hurt yourselves enough 
Oh, I’ve been waiting for a change in you 

I know your every thought 
Your heart and soul, and every move 
There are so many consequences 
 To the things you do 

All I’m asking for is love 
Haven’t you hurt yourselves enough 
Oh, I’ve been waiting for a change in you 
A change in you 
This is God 

When all the dark clouds roll away
And the sun begins to shine
I see my freedom from across the way
And it comes right in on time
Well it shines so bright and it gives so much light
And it comes from the sky above
Makes me feel so free makes me feel like me
And lights my life with love
And it seems like and it feels like
A brand new day!

I was lost and double crossed
With my hands behind my back
I was longtime hurt and thrown in the dirt
Shoved out on the railroad track
I’ve been used, abused and so confused
And I had nowhere to run
But I stood and looked
And my eyes got hooked
On that beautiful morning sun

And the sun shines down all on the ground
And the grass is oh so green
And my heart is still and I’ve got the will
And I don’t really feel so mean
Here it comes, here it comes
Oh here it comes right now
And it comes right in on time
Well it eases me and it pleases me
And it satisfies my mind

He gives beauty for ashes
Strength for fear
Gladness for mourning
Peace for despair

When sorrow seems to surround you
When suffering hangs heavy on your head 
Know that tomorrow brings 
Wholeness and healing
God knows your need
Just believe what He said

He gives beauty for ashes
Strength for fear
Gladness for mourning
Peace for despair

When what you've done keeps you from moving on
When fear wants to make itself at home in your heart
Know that forgiveness brings
Wholeness and healing
God knows your need
Just believe what He said

He gives beauty for ashes
Strength for fear 
Gladness for mourning
Peace for despair

I once was lost but God has found me
Though I was bound
I've been set free
I've been made righteous in His sight
A display of His splendor all can see

He gives beauty for ashes
Strength for fear
Gladness for mourning
Peace for despair
 

You are harvest, You are golden sun
You are cool rain, You are all in one
And in all my deepest thoughts
And in all my battles fought
You are within
You are within

You are crimson, you are midnight blue
You have called me to discover You
You have warmed my heart of stone
You have borne my pain alone
Speak to me now

Breath of heaven, hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven, lighten my darkness
Pour over me your holiness for You are holy
Breath of heaven

I am waiting in a silent prayer
I am longing to be with You there
And with every fading fear
There is healing in my tears
Now I belong, now I am strong
 

 I need you like water
Like breath, like rain
I need you like mercy
From Heaven's gate
There's a freedom in your arms
That carries me through
I need you

You're the hope that moves me
To courage again
You're the love that rescues me
When the cold winds rage
And it's so amazing
'Cause that's just how you are
And I can't turn back now
'Cause you've brought me too far

I need you like water
Like breath, like rain

Hope is an anchor, and love is a ship
Time is the Ocean and life is a trip
You don't know where you're going
Till you know where you're at
And if you can't read the stars
Well you better have a map
A compass and a conscience
so you don't get lost at sea
Around some lonely island, 
where no one wants to be

From the beginning of creation, 
I think our maker had a plan
For us to leave these shores 
and sail beyond the sand
And let the good light guide us 
to the waves and the wind
To the beaches in a world
where we have never been
And we'll climb up on a mountain, 
we'll let our voices ring
Those who've never tried it,
they'll be the first to sing

I'll see you on the other side
If I make it
And it might be a long hard ride
But I'm gonna take it
Sometimes it seems I don't have a prayer
Let the weather take me anywhere
But I know I wanna go
Where the streets are Gold 
Cause You'll Be There

You don't bring anything with you here
And you can't take anything back
I've never seen a hearse with a luggage rack
So I've torn my knees up praying
Scarred my back from falling down
Spent so much time flying high, 
till I'm face first in the ground
So if you're up there watching me, 
can you talk to God and say,
Tell him I might need a hand
to see you both someday

I'll see you on the other side
If I make it
And it might be a long hard ride
But I'm gonna take it
Sometimes it seems I don't have a prayer
Let the weather take me anywhere
But I know I wanna go
Where the streets are Gold 
Cause You'll Be There

The promised one of Heaven
To bring us to Your kingdom
Rescued us from darkness
Praise the Son of God

Jesus, Light of the world
Shine on us, Shine on us
Word of life, spoken for love
Breathe on us, Breathe on us
Light of the world, King Jesus

Darkness will obey your voice
Weakness will in you rejoice
You have bound the broken heart
Praise the son of God

You have shown your father's heart
And to us you will impart
The holiness of all You are
Praise the Son of God

Shine, breathe, live through us
Shine, breathe, live through us

God's beating heart, live through us
Light of the world, King Jesus

She is running
A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction
She is trying
But the canyon’s ever widening
In the depths of her cold heart
So she sets out on another misadventure just to find
She’s another two years older
And she’s three more steps behind

Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?
Or does anybody even knows she’s going down today
Under the shadow of our steeple
With all the lost and lonely people
Searching for the hope that’s tucked away in you and me
Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?

She is yearning
For shelter and affection
That she never found at home
She is searching
For a hero to ride in
To ride in and save the day
And in walks her prince charming
And he knows just what to say
Momentary lapse of reason
And she gives herself away

If judgement looms under every steeple
If lofty glances from lofty people
Can’t see past her scarlet letter
And we never even met her
