You turned the world on its head with Your words
Said, "the first will be last and the last will be first"
You loved the traitor, those who spat in Your face
And You gave up a throne for a cross and a grave
Oh, I wanna be that radical
Oh, fearless and fanatical
Crazy
I don't care if the whole world calls me
Crazy
I don't care if it looks like I've lost my mind
I'm alive
To live a reckless, righteous, foolish life
Maybe
I was born to be crazy
You said the meek would inherit the earth
And the wise of the world came to call You absurd
You spoke of kingdoms that no eye has seen
And proclaimed You're the way to eternity
Some say strange
Some say odd
I say child of the living God
Some say mad
Some say wrong
I say child of the living God

Hero
I, I wanna follow like a shadow
I don't need no one to see me, I just wanna chase You down
I, I wanna trail like an echo
I don't need no one to hear me, I just wanna make You loud
I'm about one name, one life, one story
I'm alive to bring You glory
You took my blame and You paid the debt I owed
I'm gonna lay me down to lift You up
You're the only king in the kingdom come
If I live, if I die, my life will show
You're my hero
Light shattering the darkness
Taking up a cross, You reached beyond my brokenness
Love overturning all the heartache
Taking on a grave, leaving death powerless
You took the nails
I'm forgiven
Cleared my name
Every sin is
Washed away
It is finished
You're the reason I am free
I'm about Your name, Your life, Your story
You are who You say You are
The evidence is in my heart
I don't need no one to see me, I just wanna chase You down
I, I wanna trail like an echo
I don't need no one to hear me, I just wanna make You loud
I'm about one name, one life, one story
I'm alive to bring You glory
You took my blame and You paid the debt I owed
I'm gonna lay me down to lift You up
You're the only king in the kingdom come
If I live, if I die, my life will show
You're my hero
Light shattering the darkness
Taking up a cross, You reached beyond my brokenness
Love overturning all the heartache
Taking on a grave, leaving death powerless
You took the nails
I'm forgiven
Cleared my name
Every sin is
Washed away
It is finished
You're the reason I am free
I'm about Your name, Your life, Your story
You are who You say You are
The evidence is in my heart

Love Riot
If these streets could talk
They'd tell us things
Of shattered hearts and wars unseen
It's a battle we can't win alone
We need saving desperately
He made a way, said follow Me
Give up your life for something more
Oh, what are we waiting for
Let's take it around the world
We'll start a fight and join the fight
In this love riot
Oh, ready, set, here we go
From London (New York) to Tokyo
You gotta unite and
Join the fight in this love riot
We are an army of the truth
We're on the march to rescue you
Don't have to make it on your own
We're holy rebels and when we yell
The mountains fall, the oceans swell
This is the time to let them know
We'll take to the streets, yeah
We'll take to the streets
Exploding with love
He's already won this, already won this
What are we waiting for
What are we waiting for
They'd tell us things

It's a battle we can't win alone
We need saving desperately

Guilty
When did it become breaking a rule
To say your name out loud in school
When your names the only one that sets us free
When did it become incorrect
To speak the truth about life and death
When your life gave us all eternity
Even if it gets me convicted
I'll be on my knees with my hands lifted
If serving you's against the law of man
If living out my faith in you is banned
Then I'll stand right before the jury
If saying I believe is out of line
If I'm judged cause I'm gonna give my life
To show the world the love that fills me
Then I want to be Guilty
I'll rise up and honor you
I'll testify to all the good you do
'Cause your Grace and your Mercy have overtaken me
So even if it gets me convicted
I'll be on my knees with my hands lifted
If serving you's against the law of man
If living out my faith in you is banned
Then I'll stand right before the jury
If saying I believe is out of line
If I'm judged cause I'm gonna give my life
To show the world the love that fills me
Then I want to be Guilty by association
Guilty of being a voice proclaiming Your ways
Your truth
Your life
I'll pay the price to be your light
If serving you's against the law of man
If living out my faith in you is banned
Then I'll stand right before the jury
If saying I believe is out of line
If I'm judged cause I'm gonna give my life
To show the world the love that fills me
Then I want to be Guilty by association
Guilty of being a voice proclaiming Your ways
Your truth
Your life
I'll pay the price to be your light
Oh I want to be Guilty
To say your name out loud in school
When your names the only one that sets us free
When did it become incorrect
To speak the truth about life and death
When your life gave us all eternity
Even if it gets me convicted
I'll be on my knees with my hands lifted
If serving you's against the law of man
If living out my faith in you is banned
Then I'll stand right before the jury
If saying I believe is out of line
If I'm judged cause I'm gonna give my life

You Hold It All (Every Mountain)
From the highest of mountains
To the depths of the sea
From the planets in motion
To the breath that we breathe
From the womb of the barren
To the rich and the poor
To the dreams of the orphan
Every heart beat is Yours
You hold it all (every mountain, every valley)
You hold it all (every tear drop, every heartbeat)
In my weakness You're my victory
In my sickness You surround me
I believe that You hold it all
It's in the roar of the lions
It's in the wind and the waves
It's in the glory of sunrise
And the lives that You change
You hold it all (every mountain, every valley)
You hold it all (every tear drop, every heartbeat)
In my weakness You're my victory
In my sickness You surround me
I believe that You hold it all
You stand alone in splendor
You reign in majesty
Your hands formed all creation
Your hands are holding me
You are my hope forever
You are the sovereign King
You are my friend and Savior
I believe that You hold it all (every mountain, every valley)
You hold it all (every tear drop, every heartbeat)
In my weakness You're my victory
In my sickness You surround me
I believe that You hold it all

You hold us all (Every son and every daughter)
You hold us all (Every saint, every sinner)
You are sovereign, You're forever
We believe that You hold us all
Yes, You hold us all
To the depths of the sea

No Longer Slaves
You unravel me with a melody
You surround me with a song
Of deliverance, from my enemies
Till 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, into Your family
Your blood flows through my veins
Oh oh oh...
You split the sea
So I could walk right through it
My fears were drowned in perfect love
You rescued me
So I could stand and sing
I am child of God
I am a Child of God
You surround me with a song
Of deliverance, from my enemies
Till 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, into Your family
Your blood flows through my veins
Oh oh oh...
You split the sea
So I could walk right through it
My fears were drowned in perfect love
You rescued me
So I could stand and sing
I am child of God
I am a Child of God

Committed
This is my story, this is my song
I have a hope that's stronger then the dust I'm standing on
This is my anchor, my cornerstone
This is the anthem I'll be singing, till the Kingdom comes
I am committed, I'm not ashamed
I pledge my allegiance to Jesus, My King
I am committed, got nothing to hide
I'm not giving up, not selling out, I'm in this for life
I am committed, to Christ
I am committed, to Christ
For all that He's given, The price that He paid
Forever we're freed by the power of His unshakable grace
For all of His children, His daughters and sons
This is the anthem we'll keep singing from the top of our lungs
To the One who gave it all
To the One who fights for us
To the One who took my suffering
In the name of love
This is our message
Our battlecry
So stand up and sing with me
I am committed
I have a hope that's stronger then the dust I'm standing on
This is my anchor, my cornerstone
This is the anthem I'll be singing, till the Kingdom comes
I am committed, I'm not ashamed
I pledge my allegiance to Jesus, My King
I am committed, got nothing to hide
I'm not giving up, not selling out, I'm in this for life
I am committed, to Christ
I am committed, to Christ
For all that He's given, The price that He paid
Forever we're freed by the power of His unshakable grace
For all of His children, His daughters and sons
This is the anthem we'll keep singing from the top of our lungs
To the One who gave it all
To the One who fights for us
To the One who took my suffering
In the name of love
This is our message
Our battlecry
So stand up and sing with me
I am committed

Earthquake
Time after time
It's all the same
I forget who I am
I take Your place
The bigger I get
The harder I fall
I act like I don't need You at all
And one by one
My bridges burn
Until I've nowhere left to turn
But it's You who's right there for me
And it's You who writes my story
I need an earthquake
To shake me until it breaks me down
I'm giving You everything
My pride's crashing to the ground
Shatter my walls
Let my kingdom fall
I don't wanna wear this crown no more
My heart is Yours to take
It's You that can save me
It's You that can shake me
I need an earthquake
I need an earthquake
I've lived on the edge
For way too long
Walking a tightrope on my own
When out of the dark
I heard You call
Now, into Your hands I surrender all
So take my heart and shape it up
To build me into what You want
'Cause it's You who sees right through me
You're the only one that moves me
I lift my hands
I lift my hands high
My heart is open
My heart is open wide
Show me life
Show me a new life
Where all that's left
Where all that's left is You and I
It's all the same
I forget who I am
I take Your place
The bigger I get
The harder I fall
I act like I don't need You at all
And one by one
My bridges burn
Until I've nowhere left to turn
But it's You who's right there for me
And it's You who writes my story
I need an earthquake
To shake me until it breaks me down
I'm giving You everything
My pride's crashing to the ground
Shatter my walls
Let my kingdom fall
I don't wanna wear this crown no more
My heart is Yours to take
It's You that can save me
It's You that can shake me
I need an earthquake
I need an earthquake
I've lived on the edge
For way too long
Walking a tightrope on my own
When out of the dark
I heard You call
Now, into Your hands I surrender all
So take my heart and shape it up
To build me into what You want
'Cause it's You who sees right through me
You're the only one that moves me
I lift my hands
I lift my hands high
My heart is open
My heart is open wide
Show me life
Show me a new life
Where all that's left
Where all that's left is You and I

What I Want Them To Say
What's a man to do
When every dream he's chased comes true
All the trophies on a wall
Are gonna lose their shine and fall
What's a stage played on
If we don't give You every song
All the cheers and the applause
In the arena they'll be lost
What will they think about the things I did
What will they say about the life I've lived
I want them to say...
He's the one whose faith didn't fade
When everything crashed, he didn't cave
He never lost his awe and wonder
The one that kept me from going under
And he ran a good race
That's what I want, what I want, I want them to say
What if they all know my name
But never see beyond my face
A pointless legacy
There so much more inside of me
He fights for the weak
Has arms that reach out for Jesus
Every word that he speaks
Helps me to believe there's a God that loves us
Oh Lord, I want YOU to say
When every dream he's chased comes true
All the trophies on a wall
Are gonna lose their shine and fall
What's a stage played on
If we don't give You every song
All the cheers and the applause
In the arena they'll be lost
What will they think about the things I did
What will they say about the life I've lived
I want them to say...
He's the one whose faith didn't fade
When everything crashed, he didn't cave
He never lost his awe and wonder
The one that kept me from going under
And he ran a good race
That's what I want, what I want, I want them to say
What if they all know my name
But never see beyond my face
A pointless legacy
There so much more inside of me
He fights for the weak
Has arms that reach out for Jesus
Every word that he speaks
Helps me to believe there's a God that loves us
Oh Lord, I want YOU to say
