The spotlights are on All eyes are on the stage I don't know how or why But, I'm on display The eyes look expectant But I don't know what to do I need someone to look to Someone to help me through How can I expect to lead others If I don't know what to do Those who lift me up, I'll keep letting down Unless I follow You The spotlights are on All eyes are on the stage I don't know how or why But, I'm on display The eyes look expectant But I don't know what to do I need someone to look to Someone to help me through How can I expect to lead others If I don't know what to do Those who lift me up, I'll keep letting down Unless I follow You How can I expect to lead others If I don't know what to do Those who lift me up, I'll keep letting down Unless I follow You

Though past mistakes are dead and gone Everyone is moving on I feel a weight holding me down Free as a bird trapped in a cage The door's unlocked, I could escape Freedom's smile turned to a frown. But somehow I'm afraid of who I've been You know the trap I'm in Somehow I need to break free Of this forgiven sin I can't go back to who I was I fear I'll break and tear I can't go back, he's six feet under So here's my plan, I'll leave him there Though in the grave he somehow raised To take my joy and give me pain He told me, he'll steer for a while And like a fool I gave him the reigns And all my work was done in vain To keep my past deep underground Now I'm done crying, I need to pick myself up And shake off the dust I'm done lying, I know where I have been And I can't go back again I can't go back to who I was I fear I'll break and tear I can't go back, he's six feet under So here's my plan, I'll leave him there I can't go back, he's six feet under So here's my plan, I'll leave him there

I'm Yours 03:32
Lights out in the cabin, and laying in my bed Thought-provoking, overwhelming thoughts now fill my head Everything I've ever done now plays in repeat This burden to my soul makes it impossible to see Tears threaten to shed blood, as self-hatred takes control Time after time I've screwed up, it seems I'm on a roll This hole inside my soul just won't ever seem to fill It seems I'm drinking cisterns, filled with a broken will But I lift my head up high I know it's no surprised, I'm yours Though today is not my day I'm never my mistakes, I'm cured The past may whisper in my ear But I'm reminded not to fear It's a feeling that insures I'm yours Deer caught in the headlights, I got no clue what I face Decision-making, productive thinking are gone without a trace You'd think it would be easy, knowing what choice to make It seems that giving up control is the hardest path to take But I lift my head up high I know it's no surprised, I'm yours Though today is not my day I'm never my mistakes, I'm cured The past may whisper in my ear But I'm reminded not to fear It's a feeling that insures I'm yours But I lift my head up high I know it's no surprised, I'm yours Though today is not my day I'm never my mistakes, I'm cured But I lift my head up high I know it's no surprised, I'm yours Though today is not my day I'm never my mistakes, I'm cured The past may whisper in my ear But I'm reminded not to fear It's a feeling that insures I'm yours

As I Am 03:45
I'm standing at the edge I cannot see the end I'm trusting in my senses I can hear a voice Telling me it's time to jump. I close my eyes and bite my tongue There is no turning back For I am bound by hands and feet In a prison of my design I see the key within my reach I know freedom can be mine I'm diving into Your arms Afraid to touch the ground I can't do this without You Forgive me for I come as I am My chains have been broken I can finally see the light As I step off of that ledge My faith won't fail this time I jump the cliff that's holding me I'm homeward bound, I'm finally free Forgetting fears to cling to hope I'm finally letting go I'm diving into Your arms Afraid to touch the ground I can't do this without You Forgive me for I come as I am I'm diving into Your arms Afraid to touch the ground I can't do this without You Forgive me for I come as I am

I stand amazed and question how you love me still I've walked away, made countless mistakes, and refused to do Your will Now that is all done I've made my decision I've been on the run Now I'm clearing my vision That You and You alone Are my God in control Make Your needs my wants And clear all my sinful thoughts I may not want to follow But I don't want to be alone For Your ways are higher Than I ever want to know I stand amazed and question how you love me still I've walked away, made countless mistakes, and refused to do Your will Now that is all done I've made my decision I've been on the run Now I'm clearing my vision That You and You alone Are my God in control Make Your needs my wants And clear all my sinful thoughts I may not want to follow But I don't want to be alone For Your ways are higher Than I ever want to know That You and You alone Are my God in control Make Your needs my wants And clear all my sinful thoughts That You and You alone Are my God in control Make Your needs my wants And clear all my sinful thoughts I may not want to follow But I don't want to be alone For Your ways are higher Than I ever want to know That You and You alone Are my God in control Make Your needs my wants And clear all my sinful thoughts I may not want to follow But I don't want to be alone For Your ways are higher Than I ever want to know

Here again I stand In Your arms, above the noise I am the spotted lamb I've forgotten my own shepherd's voice Here again I breathe I've tasted what I'd lust to see I am the spotted sheep I drove the nails that made you bleed But I'll come and see What You've prepared for me My great shepherd this I see My wool is spotted, sick, and diseased But now I see Your spotted hands I see you shepherd the spotted lamb Now I finally live I'm the child, born again I'm still the spotted lamb And finally I have strength to stand I've tasted and seen How's He's accepted me My great shepherd this I see My wool is spotted, sick, and diseased But now I see Your spotted hands I see You shepherd the spotted lamb My great shepherd this I know My past is full of filthy woe But now I see Your spotted hands I see You love Your spotted lamb My great shepherd this I know My past is full of filthy woe But now I see Your spotted hands I see You love Your spotted lamb

You unravel me, with a melody You surround me with a song Of deliverance, from my enemies 'Til all my fears are gone I'm no longer a slave to fear I am a child of God I'm not 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 runs through my veins 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 You split the seas so I could walk right through it My fears were drowned in perfect love You rescued me so I could stand and see I am a child of God You split the seas so I could walk right through it My fears were drowned in perfect love You rescued me so I could stand and see I am a child of God You split the seas so I could walk right through it My fears were drowned in perfect love You rescued me so I could stand and see I am a child of God

I sing every week to whatever song plays I sing of Your love, Your refuge and strength I lie to myself, saying "this I believe" And when the storms come, and I'm given your strength I've lost all my joy and I long for Your face I lie to myself, saying "this I believe" Here I am, coming to worship You I wish there was more I could give Here I am, giving my all to You So here is my life, here is my trust Take everything And when the storms come, and I'm robbed of Your joy I've lost all my pride, as depression employs I lie to myself, saying "this is who I am" But you see the truth, and the beauty inside You sent down Your love, in my heart it resides You tell me the truth, saying "This is who I Am" Here I am, coming to worship You I wish there was more I could give Here I am, giving my all to You So here is my life, here is my trust Take everything Here I am, coming to worship You I wish there was more I could give Here I am, giving my all to You So here is my life, here is my trust Take everything

Your Name 04:32
For Your name, raise up and army For Your name, the name that made the sun For Your name, You fight my daily battles For Your name, the battle's already won Your name has brought power Made wine out of water And calmed the storms in me Creation proclaims The name of all names When spoken can set us free So I call on Your name Through Your name, we resist temptation Through Your name, the blind are given sight Through Your name, we have beaten Satan Through Your name, the dead are brought back to life Your name has brought power Made wine out of water And calmed the storms in me Creation proclaims The name of all names When spoken can set us free So I call on Your name Your name has brought power Made wine out of water And calmed the storms in me Creation proclaims The name of all names When spoken can set us free Your name has brought power Made wine out of water And calmed the storms in me Creation proclaims The name of all names When spoken can set us free So I call on Your name

History 04:10
I'm not looking back I'm done with my past It's not my back seat driver I won't play this game I'm done with all my shame And trusting things that won't deliver It's a mystery, how history Can leave the yesterday But history's still history It's time to make it stay I can look away I'm done with all this pain Just look ahead to what comes next I'm not looking back again The past is not my friend But it made me who I am It's a mystery, how history Can leave the yesterday But history's still history It's time to make it stay It's a mystery, how history Can leave the yesterday But history's still history It's time to make it stay When I thought I could do this own my own I knew I was wrong It seemed more worth it in the end To just play along Day after day It never seemed to change So I'll stop playing this game It's a mystery, how history Can leave the yesterday But history's still history It's time to make it stay It's a mystery, how history Can leave the yesterday But history's still history It's time to make it stay
