Amanda Cook - Brave New World Album Lyrics

Heroes

Let the heroes rest
Let the striving cease
I lay down my crown
Here at Your feet

I will trust
Here in the mystery
I will trust
In You completely

Awake my soul to sing
With Your breath in me
I will worship
You taught my feet
To dance upon disappointment
And I, I will worship

Let the weary rise
Lift their eyes to see
Your love crushing every lie
Every doubt and fear

I will trust
Here in the mystery
I will trust
In You completely

Awake my soul to sing
With Your breath in me
I will worship
You taught my feet
To dance upon disappointment
And I, I will worship

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
You are making all things new

Awake my soul to sing
With Your breath in me
I will worship
You taught my feet
To dance upon disappointment
And I, I will worship

Shepherd

In the process
In the waiting
You're making melodies over me

And Your presence
Is the process
For I am a pilgrim on a journey

You will lift my head
Above the mighty waves
You are able to keep me from stumbling
And in my weakness
You are the strength that comes from within
Good Shepherd of my soul
Take my hand and lead me on

You make my footsteps
And my path secure
So walking on water is just the beginning

You cause my faith to arise
Stand at attention
For You are calling me to the greater things

You will lift my head
Above the mighty waves
You are able to keep me from stumbling
And in my weakness
You are the strength that comes from within
Good Shepherd of my soul
Take my hand and lead me on

How I love You
How I love You
You have not forsaken me
How I love You
How I love You
With You is where I want to be

You will lift my head
Above the mighty waves
You are able to keep me from stumbling
And in my weakness
You are the strength that comes from within
Good Shepherd of my soul
Take my hand and lead me on

The Voyage

Speak, even if your voice is trembling
Please, you've been quiet for so long
Believe, it'll be worth the risk you're taking

You're afraid, but you can hear adventure calling
There's a rush of adrenaline to your bones
What you make of this moment changes everything

What if the path you choose becomes a road
The ground you take becomes a home
The wind is high, but the pressure's off
I'll send the rain wherever we end up
Wherever we end up

Set your sights, sailing far beyond familiar
In the rising tide, you'll find the rhythm of your heart
And lift your head, now the wind and waves don't matter

What if the path you choose becomes a road
The ground you take becomes a home
The wind is high, but the pressure's off
I'll send the rain wherever we end up
Wherever we end up

I am the wind in your sails
I am the wind in your sails
I am the wind in your sails

Never See The End

Beyond the end and the beginning
You have been and You will be
Who in all the world is like You
Still I'm not beyond your reach

You are perfect in Your very nature
Yet You understand the human mind
Faithful even when I wander
You are patient, You are kind

How deep
How wide
How high
Is Your love for me
I can never see the end

Where can I go from Your presence
Your love surrounds me on all sides
Free from shame, there is no hiding
I am Yours and You are mine

How deep
How wide
How high
Is Your love for me
I can never see the end

---

Mercy

My past embraced
My sin forgiven
I'm blameless in Your sight
My history rewritten

You delight in mercy
Mercy triumphs over judgment

Oh Love, great Love
Fear cannot be found in You
There will never be a day
You're uncertain of the ones You choose

You delight in mercy
Mercy triumphs over judgment

So I will wake
And spend days
Loving the One
Who raised me up
From death to life
From wrong to right
You're making all things beautiful

You delight in mercy
Mercy triumphs over judgment

Kind

You are not a tyrant king
You do not delight in suffering
Your power doesn't compensate for insecurity
Cause you are not a tyrant king

You are not an angry man
You do not treat us with contempt
Your voice is sure
Your eyes are soft
Your smile confident
Cause you are not an angry man

You are kind

Your love is a fury all its own
Sweeping the dust and turning feet towards home
Carrying the orphans and resetting broken bones
Cause your love is a fury all its own

You are kind

Your love is powerful enough
Without the fear of punishment

---

Closer

Your love has ravished my heart
And taken me over
Taken me over
And all I want is to be
With You forever
With You forever

Pull me a little closer
Take me a little deeper
I want to know Your heart
I want to know Your heart
Your love is so much sweeter
Than anything I've tasted
I want to know Your heart
I want to know Your heart

---

Bitter/Sweet

You make all things new, You
You make all things new, You

You turn the bitter into sweet
The bitter into sweet
The bitter into sweet
You turn the winter into spring
The winter into spring
The winter into spring

Highest Praise

To the one who's seated on the throne above all thrones
To the one who saw fit to gather all His children close
To the one I feel in the sunlight on my skin
To the one who shattered every remnant of my sin

To the one who was
The one who is
And is to come

Highest praises

Every ear will hear the story of your furious love
Every eye will see the glory of the coming king
Every knee will bow every tongue confess your name
And with the crowd I will lift my voice
I will lift my voice to sing

To the one who was
The one who is
And is to come

Highest praises

Alleluia
We join with all of Heaven

Highest praises

Brave New World

Instrumental

City Of Hope

Once we were a barren land
Dry from disappointment
But Heaven, like a heavy rain
Revealed Your heart for us

Now we're dusting off our instruments
In You we've found our will to live
What was once a wilderness
Is teeming with new life

You are mending the broken-hearted
You are making all things new
You're rebuilding out of the ruins
A city of hope with the ones You love

Adoption is our heritage
Chosen from the orphanage
The Father's great inheritance
Bestowed upon us all

You are mending the broken-hearted
You are making all things new
You're rebuilding out of the ruins
A city of hope with the ones You love

We're the ones You love
We're the ones You love
We're the ones You love
We're the ones You love

You're rebuilding out of the ruins
A city of hope with the ones You love

You are mending the broken-hearted
You are making all things new
You're rebuilding out of the ruins
A city of hope with the ones You love

Pieces

Unreserved, unrestrained
Your love is wild
Your love is wild for me
It isn't shy, it's unashamed
Your love is proud
To be seen with me

You don't give Your heart in pieces
You don't hide Yourself to tease us

Uncontrolled, uncontained
Your love is a fire
Burning bright for me
It's not just a spark
It's not just a flame
Your love is a light
That all the world will see
All the world will see

You don't give Your heart in pieces
You don't hide Yourself to tease us

Your love's not fractured
It's not a troubled mind
It isn't anxious
It's not the restless kind
Your love's not passive
It's never disengaged
It's always present
It hangs on every word we say
Love keeps its promises
It keep its word
It honors what's sacred
'Cause its vows are good
Your love's not broken
It's not insecure
Your love's not selfish
Your love is pure

You don't give Your heart in pieces
You don't hide Yourself to tease us
