Michael W. Smith - Sovereign Album Lyrics

You Won't Let Go

No shadow comes without the light making a way
No raging storm can ever defy one word of faith
My heart remains sure in the wind, sure in the waves

You are the anchor for my soul
You won't let go
You won't let go
No matter what may come I know
You won't let go

No valley low, changes the truth
So I'm not afraid
You hold me close
You lead me through and light up the way

You are the anchor for my soul
You won't let go
You won't let go
No matter what may come I know
You won't let go
You won't let go

Neither life, neither death,
The highest high, the deepest depth
Nothing can
Nothing can separate
Neither tears, neither trials
Certain as the sun will rise
Nothing can
Nothing can separate
[x2]

You are the anchor for my soul
You won't let go
You won't let go
No matter what may come I know
You won't let go

My heart remains sure in the wind, sure in the waves, always

Heaven Come Down

Oh, Heaven come down tonight
We wanna see Your glory shine
Burnin' like a flame, burnin' like a flame forever

I am broken
Nothin' I can do
I'm callin' out to You
Bringin' You a heart that's open
Come and light a fire
Come and light a fire

In this moment
Hear me cryin' out
I'm reachin' for You now
Bringin' You a heart that's open
And broken

Oh, heaven come down tonight
We wanna see Your glory shine
Burnin' like a flame, burnin' like a flame forever
Break every stronghold
Shatter every wall so we can see
Heaven come down tonight

Oh, we are broken
Here before You now
God we're cryin' out
Bringing You a heart that's open
Come and light a fire
Come and light a fire

Like an ocean
Washin' over us
Strong and glorious
Your love has spoken
And our hearts are open

Oh, heaven come down tonight
We wanna see Your glory shine
Burnin' like a flame, burnin' like a flame forever
Break every stronghold
Shatter every wall so we can see
Heaven come down tonight, tonight, tonight

Oh, heaven come down tonight
We wanna see Your glory shine
Burnin' like a flame, burnin' like a flame forever
Break every stronghold
Shatter every wall so we can see
Heaven come down, Heaven come down tonight

Break every stronghold
Shatter every wall so we can see
Heaven come down, Heaven come down tonight

Miracle

A rebel heart
A restless soul
I lost my sight
I lost control
A cry for hope
Could I be saved
You found a way
You found a way

Your miracle is burning bright in me
I was a slave, and now I'm free
I'm lifting high these broken chains
You always find a way
I am a miracle
I am a miracle

Impossible
The war was lost
Before Your blood
Before the cross
My shame no more
My curse no more
You made a way, yeah
You made a way

Your miracle is burning bright in me
I was a slave, and now I'm free
I'm lifting high these broken chains
You always find a way
I am a miracle
I am a miracle

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
I once was lost
But now I'm found
[x2]

Your miracle is burning bright in me
I was a slave, and now I'm free
I'm lifting high these broken chains
You always find a way
I am a miracle
I am a miracle
I am a miracle
I am a miracle

Sky Spills Over

There's a rose in the desert
Blooming red in the drought
There's a quenching rain
In the wings of the gathering clouds

Lift your eyes
Look to the horizon now
There's still a hope for us
Reach up from the dust
And call it down

Can you hear
Can you hear that thunder
Sing His name, sing it out
'Til the sky spills over

I may just be dry bones
Stripped of sinew and skin
But the wind of His spirit
Will raise me up again

I lift my eyes
I look to the horizon now
Oh, there's still a song to sing
Fall down on your knees and cry aloud

Can you hear
Can you hear that thunder
Sing His name, sing it out
'Til the sky spills over

I hear the rolling thunder
Feel the pouring rain
My heart is filled with wonder
Only You remain
I see a new horizon
Coming up my way

I lift my eyes
I look to the horizon now
Oh, there's still a song to sing
Fall down on your knees and cry aloud

I can hear
I can hear that thunder
I'll sing Your name, sing it out
'Til the sky spills over
Oh, I can hear
I can hear that thunder
I'll sing Your name, sing it out
'Til the sky spills over, over

All Arise

There is only One
Whose majesty is unending
There is only One
The King of Kings, never failing

All, all arise

He's lifted high for the world to see
There is only One
One love alone overwhelms the grave
Yes, Your love alone overwhelms the grave

All, all arise
At the name
Of our Savior
Who is worthy
You are worthy

All praise is Yours
Yours alone
The almighty
Who is worthy
You are worthy

There is power, there is power
At the sound of Your name, Jesus
[x4]

At the sound of Your name

At the name
Of our Savior

All praise is Yours
Yours alone
The almighty
Who is worthy
You are worthy

You Are The Fire

You are the flame that's growing deep inside
You are the blazing passion in my eyes
You are the aching shut up in my bones
You are the longing that won't let me go

Let it burn, let it burn now
From the inside out
Let it rage, let it rage now
You are the fire
You are the fire

You're all consuming, You can't be contained
Never relenting, changing everything
You are the love that overwhelms my heart
You are the fire lighting up the dark

Let it burn, let it burn now
From the inside out
Let it rage, let it rage now
You are the fire
You are the fire
[x2]

Fan the flames 'til the whole world sees us burn
You are the fire
Fan the flames 'til the whole world sees us burn
You are the fire
Fan the flames 'til the whole world sees us burn
You are the fire
Fan the flames 'til the whole world sees us burn

Let it burn, let it burn now
From the inside out
Let it rage, let it rage now
You are the fire
You are the fire
You are the fire

Christ Be All Around Me

As I rise, strength of god
Go before, lift me up
As I wake, eyes of God
Look upon, be my sight

As I wait, heart of God
Satisfy and sustain
As I hear, voice of God
Lead me on, and be my guide
And be my guide

Above and below me
Before and behind me
In every eye that sees me
Christ be all around me
Above and below me
Before and behind me
In every eye that sees me
Christ be all around me
Whoa...Whoa...Christ be all around me

As I go, hand of God
My defense, by my side
As I rest, breath of God
Fall upon, bring me peace
Bring me peace

Your life, Your death
Your blood was shed
For every moment
Every moment

Sovereign Over Us

There is strength within the sorrow
There is beauty in our tears
And You meet us in our mourning
With a love that casts out fear
You are working in our waiting
You're sanctifying us
When beyond our understanding
You're teaching us to trust

Your plans are still to prosper
You have not forgotten us
You're with us in the fire and the flood
You're faithful forever
Perfect in love
You are sovereign over us

You are wisdom unimagined
Who could understand Your ways
Reigning high above the Heavens
Reaching down in endless grace
You're the lifter of the lowly
Compassionate and kind
You surround and You uphold me
And Your promises are my delight

Your plans are still to prosper
You have not forgotten us
You're with us in the fire and the flood
You're faithful forever
Perfect in love
You are sovereign over us
[x2]

Even what the enemy means for evil
You turn it for our good
You turn it for our good and for Your glory
Even in the valley, You are faithful
You're working for our good
You're working for our good and for Your glory
[x2]

Your plans are still to prosper
You have not forgotten us
You're with us in the fire and the flood
You're faithful forever
Perfect in love
You are sovereign over us
[x2]

You're faithful forever
Perfect in love
You are sovereign over us

Hide Myself

I've heard the thunder before
I'm not a stranger to storms
Even in the flood
I can always run
To where You are

I've had to wait in the dark
And hold the truth in my heart
Even in the night
Still You open wide
Your faithful arms

And I hide myself
Where I find my help
And I hide myself
I find only rest
Find only peace
Beneath Your wings

You are the refuge that stands
You hold my world in Your hands
The quiet in the noise
The stillness of Your voice
Will be enough

And I hide myself
Where I find my help
And I hide myself
I find only rest
I find only peace

And I hide myself
Where I find my help
And I hide myself
I find only rest
Find only peace
Beneath Your wings

And it's Your presence alone
That changes all that I know
'Til all that I know
Is just Your presence alone
I'm safe in Your shadow

And I hide myself
Where I find my help
And I hide myself
I find only rest
I find only peace

And I hide myself
Where I find my help
And I hide myself
I find only rest
Find only peace
Beneath Your wings

Even in the flood
I can always run
To where You are

The Same Power

There is power in His name
For the stone has rolled away
Mountains bow down before
Jesus Christ, our risen Lord
Jesus Christ, our risen Lord

Mighty Savior, lifted high
King forever, Jesus Christ
Crowned in glory, raised to life
The same power lives in us

We will rise, stand and sing
Of our great and matchless King
Seated high on the throne
You shall reign forevermore
You shall reign forevermore

Mighty Savior, lifted high
King forever, Jesus Christ
Crowned in glory, raised to life
The same power lives in us

The grave could not contain
The power of His name
Death, You overcame
Once and for all
[x4]

Mighty Savior, lifted high
King forever, Jesus Christ
Crowned in glory, raised to life
The same power lives in us
The same power lives in us

I Lay Me Down

I have found here
Love and mercy
From an infinite supply
I have found here
Living water
From a well that won't run dry

At Your feet
I bow in wonder
At Your feet
I place my crowns
Let surrender be the only sound
At Your feet
I lay me down

Fear and failure
Pride and hatred
You see all I've tried to hide
But sweet mercy
Has embraced me
Wrath has turned to life divine

At Your feet
I bow in wonder
At Your feet
I place my crowns
Let surrender be the only sound
At Your feet
I lay me down
[x2]

Into my emptiness
You speak life and give me breath
I lay me down
Undone by holiness
Take my all and nothing less
I lay me down
[x2]

At Your feet
I bow in wonder
At Your feet
I place my crowns
Let surrender be the only sound
At Your feet
I lay me down
At Your feet
I lay me down

The One That Really Matters

I feel You so close to me
I can hardly move or breathe
I can feel Your presence all around
I fall knees down to the ground

You're the one that really matters
You're the one that really matters
You're the one that really matters
You're the one that really matters

I know that I have been found
The cares of life can't hold me down
'Cause You're the one I want to please
What matters now is what You think

You're the one that really matters
You're the one that really matters
You're the one that really matters
You're the one that really matters

I know that I have been found
The cares of life can't hold me down
'Cause You're the one I want to please
What matters now is what You think

You're the one that really matters
You're the one that really matters
You're the one that really matters
You're the one that really matters
[x2]

And I can't help but scream about the way that You moved in
Chaotic love has messed me up so I could live again
[x2]

You're the one that really matters
You're the one that really matters
You're the one that really matters
You're the one that really matters
[x2]
