When I Cry

Makin' a list of all of the good things You've done for me
Lord, I've never been one to complain
But right now I'm lost and I can't find my way
My world's come apart and it's breakin' my heart
But it helps to know Your heart is breakin' too

When I cry, You cry
When I hurt, You hurt
When I've lost someone
It takes a piece of You, too
And when I fall on my face
You fill me with grace
'Cause nothin' breaks Your heart
Or tears You apart
Like when I cry

Alone in the dark, face in my hands, crying out to You
Lord, there's never been a time in my life
There's so much at stake, there's so much to lose
But I trust it to You
You'll bring me through
And it helps me to know that I'm not alone

When I cry, You cry
When I hurt, You hurt
When I've lost someone
It takes a piece of You, too
And when I fall on my face
You fill me with grace
'Cause nothin' breaks Your heart
Or tears You apart
Like when I cry

You're the one who calmed the raging sea
You're the one who made the blind to see
You looked through all of heaven and eternity
And through it all you saw me...

When I cry, You cry
When I hurt, You hurt
And when I've lost someone it takes a piece of You, too
When I fall on my face, You fill me with grace
Nothing breaks your heart, or tears you apart
Like when I cry

No Longer Slaves

 You unravel me with a melody
You surround me with a song
Of deliverance from my enemies
'Til all my fears are gone

I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God

From my mother's womb
You have chosen me
Love has called my name
I've been born again to a family
Your blood flows through my veins

I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God

I am surrounded
By the arms of the Father
I am surrounded
By songs of deliverance

We've been liberated
From our bondage
We're the sons and the daughters
Let us sing our freedom

You split the sea
So I could walk right through it
My fears are drowned in perfect love
You rescued me
And I will stand and sing
I am a child of God

You split the sea
So I could walk right through it
You drown my fears in perfect love
You rescued me
And I will stand and sing
I am a child of God

Yes, I am
I am a child of God
I am a child of God
Yes, I am
I am a child of God
Full of faith
Yes, I am a child of God
I am a child of God

I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I'm no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God

No one but Jesus Christ

Original Spanish Title: Solo Cristo Jesus

On a day like today
I had much on my mind
I wanted to know more
about the wisdom that
I had heard the day before
On a day like today
while reading I had learned
Through Christ I can do all things,
He strengthens me as I walk with Him

No one but Jesus Christ
can take away my sorrow
He can work things out,
there isn’t a problem
that He can’t resolve
No one but Jesus Christ
can give you salvation
He offers you His peace
and He offers you a place
to enter His joy

On a day like today
I would like to sing
telling everyone I meet
that in Christ alone
is where you will find peace
In a day like today
He will work things out
so that all of your dreams
and all that you hoped for
become reality

No one but Jesus Christ
can take away my sorrow
He can work things out,
there isn’t a problem
that He can’t resolve
No one but Jesus Christ
can give you salvation
He offers you His peace
and He offers you a place
to enter His joy

No one but Jesus Christ
can take away my sorrow
He can work things out,
there isn’t a problem
that He can’t resolve
No one but Jesus Christ
can give you salvation
He offers you His peace
and He offers you a place
to enter His joy

Purify me Lord

Original Spanish Title: PurifĂ­came (El Sanctuario Celestial) by Grupo Heme Aqui

Today I draw near unto your throne oh God
Your sanctuary is where I want to be
For there interceding is my advocate
The Lord Jesus Christ ministers there for me

May my prayers ascend to your altar oh God
like a sweet smelling incense unto you, Lord
Lord change my life completely, make it brand new
by the grace and the righteousness of your love

Purify me Lord
through the blood of Jesus the redeeming lamb
May the peace of God
fill my entire soul and my heart today
Oh Lord Jesus, dwell in me
Lord, I want to do Your will

In the judgment before the heavenly throne
You no longer see my sins and all my wrongs
You only see Jesus standing in my place
for it is He who helps me in my great need

May the forgiveness that only you can give
be accepting of me just the way I am
May it transform me through the grace of Your Son
May your Spirit engrave your law in my heart

Purify me Lord
through the blood of Jesus the redeeming lamb
May the peace of God
fill my entire soul and my heart today
Oh Lord Jesus, dwell in me
Lord, I want to do Your will

Purify me Lord
through the blood of Jesus the redeeming lamb
May the peace of God
fill my entire soul and my heart today
Oh Lord Jesus, dwell in me
Lord, I want to do Your will

Oh Lord Jesus, dwell in me
Lord, I want to do Your will

I'm Using My Bible For A Roadmap

I'm using my Bible for a roadmap
The Ten Commandments they tell me what to do
The twelve disciples are my road signs
And Jesus will take me safely through

There'll be no detours in heaven
No rough roads along the way
I'm using my Bible for a roadmap
My last stop is heaven some sweet day

I'm using my Bible for a roadmap
The children of Israel used it too
They crossed the Red Sea of destruction
For God was there to see them through

There'll be no detours in heaven
No rough roads along the way
I'm using my Bible for a roadmap
My last stop is heaven some sweet day

There'll be no detours in heaven
No rough roads along the way
I'm using my Bible for a roadmap
My last stop is heaven some sweet day

The God Who Stays

If I were You I would've given up on me by now
I would've labeled me a lost cause
'Cause I feel just like a lost cause
If I were You I would've turned around and walked away
I would've labeled me beyond repair
'Cause I feel like I'm beyond repair

Oh, but somehow You don't see me like I do
Somehow You're still here

You're the God who stays
You're the God who stays
You're the one who runs in my direction
When the whole world walks away
You're the God who stands
With wide open arms
And You tell me nothing I have ever done can separate my heart
From the God who stays

I used to hide
Every time I thought I let You down
I always thought I had to earn my way
But I'm learning You don't work that way

'Cause somehow You don't see me like I do
Somehow You're still here

You're the God who stays (You're the God who stays)
You're the God who stays (You're the God who stays)
You're the one who runs in my direction
When the whole world walks away
You're the God who stands (You're the God who stands)
With wide open arms (With wide open arms)
And You tell me nothing I have ever done can separate my heart
From the God who stays

My shame can't separate
My guilt can't separate
My past can't separate
I'm Yours forever
My sin can't separate
My scars can't separate
My failures can't separate
I'm Yours forever
No enemy can separate
No power of hell can take away
Your love for me will never change
I'm Yours forever

You're the God who stays (You're the God who stays)
You're the God who stays (You're the God who stays)
You're the one who runs in my direction
When the whole world walks away
You're the God who stands (You're the God who stands)
With wide open arms (With wide open arms)
And You tell me nothing I have ever done can separate my heart
From the God who stays
You're the God who stays
You're the one who runs in my direction
When the whole world walks away
You're the God who stands
With wide open arms
And You tell me nothing I have ever done can separate my heart
From the God who stays

Alone Yet Not Alone

Lyrics by Bruce Broughton

I'm alone, yet not alone
God's the light that will guide me home
With His love and tenderness
Leading through the wilderness
And wherever I may roam
I'm alone, yet not alone

I will not be bent in fear
He's the refuge I know is near
In His strength I find my own
By His faithfulness He's shown
That so mighty is His shield
All His love is now revealed

When my steps are lost
And desperate for a guide
I can feel his touch
A soothing presence by my side

Alone, yet not alone
Not forsaken when on my own
I can lean upon His arm
And be lifted up from harm
If I stumble, or if I'm thrown
I'm alone, yet not alone

When my steps are lost
And desperate for a guide
I can feel his touch
A soothing presence by my side
By my side!

He has bound me with His love
Watchful angels look from above
Every evil can be braved
For I know I will be saved
Never frightened on my own
I'm alone, yet not alone

I'm alone, yet not alone

He Took Your Place

Upon the rugged cross of Calvary
Was there my blessed Savior cried
Forgive them for they know not what they do
Oh, sinner friend, for thee he died

His hands are gently knocking on your door
Outside he's pleading to come in
His heart is breaking as he waits for you
To wash you free from every sin

Those cruel thorns they pierced my Savior's head
The blood was flowing down his face
In shame, forsaken there he hung and died
Oh, sinner friend, he took you place

His hands are gently knocking on your door
Outside he's pleading to come in
His heart is breaking as he waits for you
To wash you free from every sin

Someday he's coming back to claim his own
We'll fly to Heaven's golden shore
A crown of life he gives on that glad day
With him we'll live forever more

His hands are gently knocking on your door
Outside he's pleading to come in
His heart is breaking as he waits for you
To wash you free from every sin

I’ve Been Redeemed (Grascals)

Like a thief in the night 
Our Lord, He will come 
The ransom's been paid 
And the victory's been won 
Through the blood's cleansing power 
In glory I'll be, praising my Savior 
In His choir I'll sing 

He desires all 
That would come to be saved 
Let your heart not be troubled 
For a place He has made 
For that mansion is waiting 
The King of Kings I will see 
‘Cause I'll praise you Lord 
I've been redeemed 

At times I have struggled 
When my faith's been weak 
God's grace and His Spirit 
Was a refuge I'd seek 
On hands and knees 
Lord I seek Your face 
Teach me and guide me, 
This, God, I pray 

 One day all His glory 
I'll finally see 
In all heaven's splendor 
My Lord pleads for me 
I was shackled by sin, 
Calvary set free 
He took the sting from death 
Yes, I've been redeemed 

He desires all 
That would come to be saved 
Let your heart not be troubled 
For a place He has made 
For that mansion is waiting 
The King of Kings I will see 
‘Cause I'll praise you Lord 
I've been redeemed

The Best Day You've Ever Had

I can still recall when I was just a boy
I used to think that the best things were candy, gifts, and toys
But when I heard that Jesus was given just for me
That's when life became the best its ever been for me

This could be the best day you've ever had
Take the gift of Jesus and you will be glad
He'll give you His good life and take away the bad
This could be the best day you've ever had

A long, long time ago, when God gave His dear Son
Jesus sent from God the Father was the chosen One
Giving life to all of us, if in Him we believe
Jesus is the greatest gift you ever could receive

This could be the best day you've ever had
Take the gift of Jesus and you will be glad
He'll give you His good life and take away the bad
This could be the best day you've ever had

The things we get on earth we might have for today
But we can't keep a single thing when we go away
Take the gift of Jesus, just open your heart's door
The life He gives to you will last forevermore

This could be the best day you've ever had
Take the gift of Jesus and you will be glad
He'll give you His good life and take away the bad
This could be the best day you've ever had

This could be the best day you've ever had
