1.	You Matter to God 05:30	lyrics	buy track
Once upon a time in a pond like yours God dropped a pebble that could change the world And the waves started rippling further out Till the living water reached every thirsty mouth Every rock is a part of the master plan You can never be taken from His hands Are you saintly or a sinner, are you hero or fraud You matter, you matter to God Once upon a time in a pit like yours God lit a match just to keep us warm And the flame was a beacon in a lonely place Till the light told the world all about His grace (Chorus) Wonderfully made (you were formed and fashioned) Wonderfully made (unrepeatable miracle) Wonderfully made (in the image of the most high) Wonderfully made (He loves you He loves you He loves you) Once upon a time when the sky was black God’s boy Jesus felt the whip on his back For the cross of the fallen had a high price But redemption rose when He bought back your life (Chorus) Every rock is a part of the master plan (the stone that the builders rejected) You can never be taken from His hands (He holds you so you’ll be protected) Are you saintly or a sinner, are you hero or fraud (Halleluia) He knows each big and little thing, He wants to talk to you He likes to hear you sing, gonna fill your heart like nothing else, y ou won’t need to strive for this kind of wealth... John 10:27-30
2.	Living Water 04:40	lyrics
I feel like I may never be clean Living water pour onto me My sin has made me unpresentable Until I want to hide I feel like I may never be enough Living water overflow your sacred love My flesh has made me one big shortfall Until I am ashamed But you rush into this desert life I lead You fill the dried up dying places no one else can see Oh, Hallelujah for mercy, my Father Send Your living water It looks like I may never be found Living water soak into this thirsty ground My steps have led me to the wilderness Until I can't get home (Chorus) You’re bringing down the walls of stone I couldn’t move, Living water crash until I’m born to you (Chorus) John 4:13-15
3.	Hold Her Hand 03:44	lyrics
Is anyone out there What is she for Whisper to her heart she was made to be more Than the price pinned on her life Living on the edge of a knife Sovereign God hear me now hold her hand Desperate in the dark Stained in senseless shame She is not forgotten God knows her name And where the devil seems to win Is where we have wounds to mend Sovereign God hear me now hold her hand Hosanna, you are the one who saves Emmanuel, reach out and take her away Jehovah Nissi, bring your victory Speak your spirit so we'll hear it send us to her aid The desecrated temple waits in disrepair A child’s body, spirit and soul broken in this nightmare Until You can make her new O Lord, we have work to do Sovereign God hear me now hold her hand (Chorus) Isaiah 33:2-3, Rev 21:5,23
4.	I'm Yours 04:08	lyrics	buy track
You know what I'm up to You know my ways by heart You know me, you know me Where can I go away from you if you've mapped out all my moves You're with me, you're with me You knit my feet and hands together in the dark... You made me, you made me If I am yours, then I'm okay What a difference it makes To know my reason in the universe My purpose is your love because I'm yours. You know where I wander, You know how I get lost You lead me, you lead me When I look up and the light is gone, The nighttime doesn't close your eyes. You see me, you see me You knit my feet and hands together in the dark... You made me, you made me (Chorus) I belong to you, and I was made by you, and I am dear to you cause I am yours And I am seen by you and I am loved by you, Abba I cry to you Oh I am yours, yours, yours (Chorus) Psalm 139
5.	Make It Beautiful 03:04	lyrics
Let my time be your time Father let it be Make my moments hallowed in humility Let my life be in you I’ll set my watch to you You made me eternal, and I know you’ll see it through You can make it beautiful you can make it beautiful Father make it beautiful in your time Let my time be your time when I’ve nothing left to give let me hand you glory in the way I live Fill my empty heart Lord, with love that comes from you Your Word lives within me Make it show in what I do You can make it beautiful you can make it beautiful Father make it beautiful in your time Ecclesiastes 3:11
6.	Beauty From the Ashes 03:46	lyrics
There was a fire, the kind that takes everything Unholy devastation was left in its path I had lots of nothing- had lots of lonely too My scars left me unrecognizable except, except to You The ashes were my dwelling place- Soon came to fill so much of me The color died and left my face What was the point in trying to be Then you made beauty from the ashes Beauty from the ashes Jesus You called me out from the deep And made beauty from the ashes of me Running from nowhere- hiding from the safety of you Letting my fear be my king, oh I let the Deceiver rule His oppression burned out all my worth What was left of my hope went up in flames I believed the lies so well-rehearsed, but I found only You could give me my name (chorus) Isaiah 61:1-3
7.	Kneeling at the Feet 06:04	lyrics	buy track
Humble and in waiting posture I ponder what I have to offer Gladly would I rest and be still While I listen to discern your will It’s not the time for me to hurry Or rush about with servant’s flurry What I need is just to sit with you Oh my Jesus how you make me new Kneeling at the feet of my Lord- This is where I hear your spirit Kneeling at the feet of my Lord- This is how I long to love you Grounded in your peace, folded in your robes Kneeling at your feet, kneeling at your feet Kneeling at the feet of my Lord Thank you Holy Prince of Glory For stepping down into my story To conquer every fearful night For walking me into your light And as I lay myself down to you I know that when this day is through Like a father’s vigil to a child’s sleep How it blesses me my Abba will keep me (chorus) Psalm 91, Luke 10
8.	If This is What It's Like 03:49	lyrics
Headlines got me beaten and bruised how much further can we fall Don't tell me what you heard on the news Cause I don’t have the hands to hold it all If this is what it's like to follow Jesus I don't know if I want to see real suffering If this is what it’s like to let my heart break If this is what it's like - I’m gonna need some help Trade in what was gain for loss What does it mean to walk the way He went? He said we’d have to count up the cost And I can tell you that I think I’m spent (Chorus) Cry without ceasing, having trouble sleeping walk in the light? I can’t find the light Hide my fear within me, enemies will win me, justice is a promise that is broken tonight Evil’s got the edge I’m hangin’ off the ledge of my hope, open window gonna slam on my hand crash into the dirt with the wolves all in a circle and I’m supposed to take a stand? (don’t hide your face from me, Lord) (Chorus) If this is what it’s like to follow Jesus His feet came to the ground to be real suffering He knows just what it’s like to let His heart break If this is what it’s like, Holy Spirit help Romans 8:11, Matthew 5
9.	Change Me 04:39	lyrics	buy track
Change me, Unchanging One. You are constant- make me different You are older than time. Architect and Carpenter, make me new Tear down all my old walls Build a place in this frame- use it for Your glory Change me. It may hurt when the old self falls away The demolition- of my affliction It may seem dark when I'm waiting in the tomb While You're dealing with my sinful old debris But I believe You can redeem it all Build a place in this frame- use it for Your glory Change me. Halleluia- I'll be free- when I let You change me Halleluia- I'll be free- when I let You change me Change me, Unchanging One. You are constant- make me different You are older than time. Architect and carpenter, make me new Tear down all my old walls Build a place in this frame- use it for Your glory Change me. Tear down all my old walls Build a place in this frame- use it for your glory Change me - change me - change me Change me- change me - change me Romans 12:2
10.	One Little Step 03:22	lyrics
God thank you for making a plan uncovering it for me with your own hand a plan to care for me, not to bring me harm It’s good leaning on the everlasting arms And in hindsight I trace out the road the course you set for me- oh how you gave me Your Word along the way your unfailing love has led me to today Now I know I’m not there yet but you filled me with your spirit and I wanna be obedient to my father You’re able, in control, I’m on my feet, I’m ready to go, make me be your miracle- one little step at a time. As I walk, as I fall, as I try, you promise not to leave when I’m terrified the joy and the power of your grace comes in I can go to you no matter where I’ve been (Chorus) Glory to the King most high, I give my all to Adonai Glory to the King most high, I give my all to Adonai (Chorus) Hebrews 13:20-21
11.	Jesus Loves Me 05:01	lyrics
Jesus loves me, this I know For the Bible tells me so When I fall, He’s holding on I am weak but He is strong Jesus loves me, this I know For his deeds they tell me so Suffering at the hands of men Was punished when I should have been Yes, Jesus loves me Yes Jesus loves me Yes, Jesus loves me The Holy Bible tells me so Jesus loves me, I can see the walking proof inside of me In faith I gave Him back my life with trembling heart I testify Jesus loves me, this I say He’s given me a living way Filled with peace, though it may storm I want my heart to be transformed (Chorus) The moving Spirit tells me so The light inside you tells me so John 3:16
12.	You're Gonna Make It 04:06	lyrics
You’re gonna make it and you don’t have to be perfect all the time You’re gonna make it and you’ll look back on this long weary climb and it’s okay, ‘cause you’re climbing with a friend when you see how it will turn out in the end you’re gonna make it Each time your eraser finds a mistake Don’t you back down, don’t let your confidence break you are worthy of love and dignity created for a purpose for possibility (Chorus) Each time you reach up for something high you might not get it yet let me show you why all that reaching is helping you grow now, it won’t take long, child until you’re running the show (Chorus) Each time it seems you’re all by yourself my love goes with you, you’ll be able to tell cause a warm soft light overcomes the dark when you let people see the person you are (Chorus) Romans 5:5
