Just light the way and I'll go

You Lead - Jamie Grace

I've got waves that are tossin' me
Crashin' all over my beliefs
And in all sincerity, Lord
I wanna be yours
So pull me out of this mess I'm in
Cause I know I'm wanderin'
Lead my soul back home again
I've always been yours

And this world may push, may pull
But your love it never fails

You lead, I'll follow, Your hands hold my tomorrow
Your grip, Your grace, You know the way
You guide me tenderly

When you lead, I'll follow
Just light the way and I'll go
'Cause I know what you got for me is more than I can see
So lead me on, on, on and on
Just lead me on, on, on and on

As a child I heard your voice
But as a girl I made my choice
There is no other way for me
I'm devoted to you
You're my peace on the heavy days
You're the warmth of an autumn blaze
Your love carries me away
And it's never too soon, no...

And this world may push, may pull
But your mercy never fails

You lead, I'll follow, Your hands hold my tomorrow
Your grip, Your grace, You know the way
You guide me tenderly, yeah
When you lead, I'll follow
Just light the way and I'll go
'Cause I know what you got for me is more than I can see
So lead me on, on, on and on
Just lead me on, on, on and on

Sometimes when I wake up, I don't wanna rise up
Out of my bed, too many thoughts in my head
Don't wanna be who I used to be
Gonna take the back seat and let you lead
And I...
Need to stop, need to stop
'Cause I'm going too fast
And I...
Know my God is still God, and You got my back

You lead, I'll follow, Your hands hold my tomorrow
Your grip, Your grace, You know the way
You guide me tenderly, yeah
When you lead, I'll follow
Just light the way and I'll go
'Cause I know what you got for me is more then I can see

So lead me on...
Lead me on...

And I...
Need to stop, need to stop
'Cause I'm going too fast
And I...
Know my God is still God, and You got my back
You got my back
I know ya got me, I know ya got me
I know ya got me
Lead me on...

Where do I go from here?

For the Moments I Feel Faint - Relient K

Am I at the point of no improvement?
What of the death I still dwell in?
I try to excel, but I feel no movement.
Can I be free of this unreleasable sin?

Never underestimate my Jesus.
You're telling me that there's no hope.
I'm telling you you're wrong.

Never underestimate my Jesus
When the world around you crumbles
He will be strong, He will be strong

I throw up my hands
"Oh, the impossibilities"
Frustrated and tired
Where do I go from here?

Now I'm searching for the confidence
I've lost so willingly
Overcoming these obstacles
is overcoming my fear

Never underestimate my Jesus.
You're telling me that there's no hope.
I'm telling you you're wrong.

Never underestimate my Jesus
When the world around you crumbles
He will be strong, He will be strong

I think I can't, I think I can't
But I think you can, I think you can
I think I can't, I think I can't
But I think you can, I think you can
Gather my insufficiencies and
place them in your hands, place them in your hands, place them in your hands

Enough to light up the darkness

Your Love - Brandon Heath

I felt it first when I was younger
A strange connection to the lie
I tried to satisfy the hunger
I never got it right
I never got it right
So I climbed a mountain and l built an altar
Looked out as far as I could see
And everyday I'm getting older
I'm running outta dreams
I'm running outta dreams

But Your love
Your love
The only the thing that matters is Your love
Your love is all I have to give
Your love is enough to light up the darkness
It's Your love
Your love
all I ever needed is Your love

You know the effort I have given
And you know exactly what it cost
And though my innocence was taken
Not everything is lost
Not everything is lost

But Your love
Your love
The only the thing that matters is Your love
Your love is all I have to give
Your love is enough to light up the darkness
It's Your love
Your love
all I ever needed is Your love

You're the hope in the morning
You're the light when the night is falling
You're the song when my heart is singing
it's Your love
You're the eyes to the blind man
You're the feet to the lame men walking
You're the sound of the people singing
It's Your love

But Your love
Your love
The only the thing that matters is Your love
Your love is all I have to give
Your love is enough to light up the darkness
It's Your love
Your love
all I ever needed is Your love

But Your love
(Your love is all that I needed)
The only the thing that matters is Your love
Your love is all I have to give
Your love is enough to light up the darkness
(Your love is all that I needed)
It's Your love
Your love
It's all I ever needed

It is not yet the end

"Everything will be alright in the end. So, if it is not alright, it is not yet the end."

A thirst this world can't satisfy

Blessings - Laura Story

We pray for blessings
We pray for peace
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep
We pray for healing, for prosperity
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering
All the while, You hear each spoken need
Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things

'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You're near
What if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

We pray for wisdom
Your voice to hear
And we cry in anger when we cannot feel You near
We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love
As if every promise from Your Word is not enough
All the while, You hear each desperate plea
And long that we'd have faith to believe

'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
What if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You're near
And what if trials of this life are Your mercies in disguise

When friends betray us
When darkness seems to win
We know that pain reminds this heart
That this is not, this is not our home
It's not our home

'Cause what if Your blessings come through raindrops
What if Your healing comes through tears
And what if a thousand sleepless nights
Are what it takes to know You're near
What if my greatest disappointments
Or the achings of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst this world can't satisfy
And what if trials of this life
The rain, the storms, the hardest nights
Are Your mercies in disguise

I know I’m not strong enough

Strong Enough - Matthew West

You must, You must think I’m strong
To give me what I’m going through
Well forgive me, forgive me if I’m wrong
But this looks like more than I can do
On my own

I know I’m not strong enough to be
Everything that I’m supposed to be
I give up, I’m not strong enough
Hands of mercy won’t You cover me?
Lord, right now I’m asking You to be
Strong enough, strong enough
For the both of us

Well maybe, maybe that’s the point
To reach the point of giving up
‘Cause when I’m finally, finally at rock bottom
That’s when I start looking up

And reaching out

I know I’m not strong enough to be
Everything that I’m supposed to be
I give up, I’m not strong enough
Hands of mercy won’t You cover me?
Lord, right now I’m asking You to be
Strong enough, strong enough

‘Cause I’m broken
Down to nothing
But I’m still holding on to the one thing
You are God
And You are strong when I am weak

I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength
And I don’t have to be strong enough
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength
And I don’t have to be
Strong enough, strong enough
Oh yeah

I know I’m not strong enough to be
Everything that I’m supposed to be
I give up, I’m not strong enough
Hands of mercy won’t You cover me?
Lord, right now I’m asking You to be
Strong enough, strong enough, strong enough
