Our Time Is Now


Are you tired of the life
That leaves us begging for more?
We got our heads in the clouds
But our feet on the floor
We tend to chase everything
That ends up leaving us dry
We need a voice, one voice that is amplified

Can you feel momentum shifting?
Can you hear the sound?
We were once among the missing
But we have been found
It starts now

So raise a fist high
This is the first night
The beginning of forever
Now let the old die
Cause there is new life
Forever starts tonight
Our time is now, now, now, now

It only takes one second
To turn it around
We got our minds made up
Let's put our stake in the ground
All the pain, all the shame
Have you had enough of it?
Are you ready for the change?

Can you feel momentum shifting?
Can you hear the sound?
Can you see the darkness lifting now?

So raise a fist high
This is the first night
The beginning of forever
Now let the old die
Cause there is new life
Forever starts tonight
Our time is now, now, now, now

Nothing can divide or take away
That our time is now
We rise from ashes
Kings and queens
Our time is now
Our time is now

So raise a fist high
This is the first night
The beginning of forever
Now let the old die
Cause there is new life
Forever starts tonight
Our time is now, now, now, now
Now, now, now, now

Walk On The Waves


Stop, tell me your name
What are the reasons
For the sorrow on your face?
What broke your heart?
What stole your faith?
You may not believe it
But it won't always feel this way

Life's a boat that won't stop rocking
Don't be scared when you don't feel safe
Listen close, He's calling your name

Saying walk on the waves
Walk on the waves
You've gotta fight the tide
It's do or die today
Open your eyes
Lift up your face
He's got your hands
Your heart, your life
So don't be afraid
To walk on the waves

We, we carry the weight
The weight of our failures
That keep us all enslaved
But what kind of life
Is a life lived in chains
There is a Savior
Who has torn them all away

Saying walk on the waves
Walk on the waves
You've gotta fight the tide
It's do or die today
Open your eyes
Lift up your face
He's got your hands
Your heart, your life
So don't be afraid
To walk on the waves
To walk on the waves

I will choose to follow
There is no other way
So lead me to the water
Give me faith

To walk on the waves
Walk on the waves
You've gotta fight
It's do or die today
Open your eyes
Lift up your face
He's got your hands
Your heart, your life
So don't be afraid
To walk on the waves
Walk on the waves

Life's a boat that won't stop rocking
Don't be scared when you don't feel safe
Listen close, He's calling your name

Anchor


My heart's a ship lost out at sea
I'm drifting further from Your reach
Worn down by the waves and wind
It comes down to sink or swim
You are the one thing that I need
This is my only hope
That You'll never let me go

I need an anchor
To hold me through the storm
I see the danger
Can't fight it on my own
I'm crying out, I'm going down
On the edge and I need You now, my Savior
I need an anchor
I need an anchor

See lightning tearing up the sky
My darkest fears are on the rise
But so is my undying faith
Cause I know You walk on waves
Speak peace be still into our lives

I need an anchor
To hold me through the storm
I see the danger
Can't fight it on my own
I'm crying out, I'm going down
On the edge and I need You now, my Savior
I need an anchor

Save our soul, save our soul, save our soul...

This is my only hope
That You'll never let me go

I need an anchor
To hold me through the storm
I see the danger
Can't fight it on my own
I'm crying out, I'm going down
On the edge and I need You now, my Savior

I need an anchor
To hold me through the storm
I see the danger
Can't fight it on my own
I'm crying out, I'm going down
On the edge and I need You now, my Savior
I need an anchor
I need an anchor

Echo


I've been around but I couldn't tell
Before I fell for You
I was a sound that couldn't get out
Until You pulled me through

Sometimes we miss the things
That life seems to throw our way
Because we haven't tuned our ears
To hear the record playing
Beyond our imperfections
Trying to cut through the noise
I stand a broken man
Who longs to be Your voice

Cause I don't just wanna fall in love with You
No I don't just wanna fall in love with You

I wanna be an echo
I wanna be an echo
I wanna be an echo
I wanna be an echo
Of You

I see it now, I'm out of the clouds
With my radio in tune (You are the song, You are the song)
I hear it loud over the crowd
Teach me to sound like You

Sometimes we miss the things
That life seems to throw our way
Because we haven't tuned our ears
To hear the record playing
Beyond our imperfections
Trying to cut through the noise
I stand a broken man
Who longs to be Your voice

Cause I don't just wanna fall in love with You

I wanna be an echo
I wanna be an echo
I wanna be an echo
I wanna be an echo
Of You

I wanna be an echo
I wanna be an echo
I wanna be an echo
I wanna be an echo
Of You, of You

I wanna be an echo of You

More Of You


I made my castle tall
I built up every wall
This is my kingdom and it needs to fall
I want you and no one else
Empty me of myself
Until the only thing that's left is

More of you
Less of me
Make me who I'm meant to be
You're all I want all I need
You're everything
Take it all I surrender
Be my king
God I choose
More of you and less of me
I need more of you
More of you

This life I hold so close
Oh, God I let it go
I refuse to gain the world and lose my soul
So take it all I abandon everything I am
You can have it
The only thing that I need is

More of you
Less of me
Make me who I'm meant to be
You're all I want all I need
You're everything
Take it all I surrender
Be my king
God I choose
More of you and less of me
I need more of you
More of you

All to you
I surrender
All to you my blessed savior
I surrender all

All to you
I surrender
All to you my blessed savior
I surrender all

More of you
Less of me
Make me who I'm meant to be
You're all I want all I need
You're everything
Take it all I surrender
Be my king
God I choose
More of you and less of me
I need more of you
More of you

All to you
I surrender
All to you my blessed savior

More of you
I need more of you

Loud And Clear


I've got something to say
But it might not be what you wanna hear
You're seeking someone to blame
So I'll hardly whisper it in your ear
Truth hurts but it heals too
No comfort is comfortable to you

Loud, loud and clear
Can you hear simple truth?
Loud, loud and clear
Can you hear I need you?
I want you not your fear
Is it loud and clear?

Now you're digging a grave
Where you bury all your secrets and lies
Can't mute the sound of your shame
It's the only way you know to survive
Truth hurts but it heals too
No comfort is comfortable to you

Loud, loud and clear
Can you hear simple truth?
Loud, loud and clear
Can you hear I need you?
I want you not your fear
Is it loud and clear?

Loud, loud and clear
Can you hear simple truth?
Loud, loud and clear
Can you hear I need you?
I want you not your fear
Is it loud and clear?

Loud, loud and clear
Can you hear I need you?
I want you not your fear
Is it loud and clear?

Fools Gold


Do you think everything that meets the eye
Is exactly how it seems or a clever disguise
A remedy for apologies to make it right
For clarity to see the means through our eyes

Look to the skies
And you will see it
Tune out the lies

Don't let the people say
There's a higher price to pay
For a smile on your face
It's not a game of give or take
Don't bend and you won't break
There is another way
Take off your blindfold
Don't fall for fool's gold

There's positively definitely gotta be more
Than a life filled with greed behind locked doors
Cause even our most coveted treasures
Are really only temporary pleasures

Look to the skies
And you will see it
Tune out the lies

Don't let the people say
There's a higher price to pay
For a smile on your face
It's not a game of give or take
Don't bend and you won't break
There is another way
Take off your blindfold
Don't fall for fool's gold

Don't fall for fool's gold

Misconceptions
False impressions
Smoke and mirrors
Of self-deceptions

Don't let the people say
There's a higher price to pay
For a smile on your face
It's not a game of give or take
Don't bend and you won't break
There is another way
Take off your blindfold
Don't fall for fool's gold
Take off your blindfold
Don't fall for fool's gold

Dare To Believe


I was just a kid when I heard about the stories
Of the prophets, teachers
Priests, kings, and queens
Of water turned to wine
How You brought the dead to life
They were more than words
They were truth to me

We get older, life gets harder
We grow farther away
And lose the faith we fought so hard to keep

I will dare to believe
That You are the Savior
Living in me
And I know You always will be
The God of the impossible
The God of every miracle
Here for the world to see
I dare to believe

If you were just some carpenter from nowhere
An ordinary man with ordinary news
Then we would not be here
Still claiming You all these years
We believe the stories
Because they're true

Some might call me crazy
But I'm no fool

I will dare to believe
That You are the Savior
Living in me
And I know You always will be
The God of the impossible
The God of every miracle
Here for the world to see
I dare to believe

You are the Son of God
You lived and died for us
You're here and You are still alive
You are the Son of God
You lived and died for us
You're here and You are still alive

I will dare to believe
That You are the Savior
Living in me
And I know You always will be
The God of the impossible
The God of every miracle
Is here for the world to see
I will dare to believe

You are the Son of God
You lived and died for us
You're here and You are still alive
(I will dare to believe)
You are the Son of God
You lived and died for us
You're here and You are still alive

Dare to believe
Dare to believe
I dare to believe

Through All Of It


There are days I've taken more than I can give
And there are choices that I made
That I wouldn't make again
I've had my share of laughter
Of tears and troubled times
This is has been the story of my life

I have won and I have lost
I got it right sometimes
But sometimes I did not
Life's been a journey
I've seen joy, I've seen regret
Oh and You have been my God
Through all of it

You were there when it all came down on me
And I was blinded by my fear
And I struggled to believe
But in those unclear moments
You were the one keeping me strong
This is how my story's always gone

I have won and I have lost
I got it right sometimes
But sometimes I did not
Life's been a journey
I've seen joy, I've seen regret
Oh and You have been my God
Through all of it
Through all of it

And this is who You are
More constant than the stars up in the sky
All these years of our lives
I, I look back and I see You
Right now I still do
And I'm always going to

I have won and I have lost
I got it right sometimes
But sometimes I did not
Life's been a journey
I've seen joy
I've seen regret
Oh and You have been my God
Through all of it
Oh and You have been my God
Through all of it
Oh and You have been my God
Through all of it

Limitless


Too young, too old
Too shy, too bold
Too average
To make a difference
The world's too big
And you're too small
If you try to fly
You're gonna fall
They're shouting
But we won't listen

We are limitless, limitless
Limitless, limitless
The power of love
Alive in us
Is limitless, limitless
Unstoppable and nothing less
No nothing can hold us down
We're limitless

No more impossible
So much for too difficult
We know that our God is greater
Oh wake up you dreamers
Become a believer
This is who we are

We are limitless, limitless
Limitless, limitless
The power of love
Alive in us
Is limitless, limitless
Unstoppable and nothing less
No nothing can hold us down
We are limitless

Take away the limitations
When we fix our eyes on You
Flood our hearts with expectations
Lord, there's nothing You can't do

Doubt sees a mountain, no way around it
Faith sees a victory, no doubt about it
Fear sees a ceiling, hope sees the stars
Love be the light inside of our hearts
[x2]

We are limitless, limitless
Limitless, limitless
The power of love
Alive in us
Is limitless, limitless
Unstoppable and nothing less
No nothing can hold us down
Cause we are limitless

Doubt sees a mountain, no way around it
Faith sees a victory, no doubt about it
Fear sees a ceiling, hope sees the stars
Love be the light inside of our hearts
(We are limitless)

Doubt sees a mountain, no way around it
Faith sees a victory, no doubt about it
Fear sees a ceiling, hope sees the stars
We're limitless
Cause You're limitless

Back To Life

I feel you break through the night like a flame in the dark
I feel my whole world shake as You awaken my heart
Only You can resurrect the part of me that's died
Only You can bring us back to life

Black, I watched it all fade to black
Yeah this is where my heart was at
Broken and bleeding
Red, every part of me was dead
No part of me innocent
I was desperately needing
Someone to follow
Someone to save my soul
I need a hero, I need a hero

I feel You break through the night like a flame in the dark
I feel my whole world shake as You awaken my heart
Only You can resurrect the part of me that's died
Only You can bring us back to life

You showed up in the nick of time
I didn't think I'd survive
Now my heart is beating
You, everything points to You
I could try to save myself but it's no use
Without You I'm sinking
I'm down to zero
With a God-shaped hole
I need a hero, I need a hero

I feel You break through the night like a flame in the dark
I feel my whole world shake as You awaken my heart
Only You can resurrect the part of me that's died
Only You can bring us back to life

Revive me, revive me
Bring us back to life
Bring us back to life

I'm down to zero
With a God-shaped hole
I need a hero, I need a hero

I feel You break through the night like a flame in the dark
I feel my whole world shake as You awaken my heart
Only You can resurrect the part of me that's died
Only You can bring us back to life

Revive me, revive me
Bring us back to life
Bring us back to life
Bring us back to life

This Isnt The End

I know it hit you without warning
You weren't ready for letting go
Only left with questions out of hope
(Don't know where to go)
Every promise turned to heartache
In a moment you lost control
Try to ride this storm out on your own
(You are not alone)

So don't fall back, keep fighting
Out of your ashes rising
I'm right here
I want you to know

This isn't the end
It's a chance to start again
When the smoke clears, you'll be home
This isn't the end
It's a war you're gonna win
Out of the fire, a new life begins
This isn't the end

There's a pain that makes you stronger
There's a faith that holds you close
Don't be afraid to let your weakness show
(You're not made of stone)

One chapter, sinks lower
But your story isn't over
I'm right here
I want you to know

This isn't the end
It's a chance to start again
When the smoke clears, you'll be home
This isn't the end
It's a war you're gonna win
Out of the fire, a new life begins
This isn't the end

This isn't, this isn't the end
This isn't, this isn't the end
This isn't, this isn't the end
This isn't, this isn't the end

This isn't, this isn't the end
This isn't, this isn't the end
This isn't, this isn't the end
This isn't, this isn't the end

So don't fall back, keep fighting
Out of your ashes rising
I'm right here
I want you to know

This isn't the end
It's a chance to start again
When the smoke clears you'll be home
This isn't the end
It's a war you're gonna win
Out of the fire
A new life begins
This isn't the end
