You’re indescribable in every way
You searched me out and now I’m caught up in Your grace

That leaves me breathless
My glimpse of heaven
Is life with You

This gracious rhythm
I lift my hands high
In praise to You Now every time I go
I can’t find the words to say
And ooh-ooh-ooh
You’re higher than all my ways
And Lord it’s You
Who opened my eyes to see
And poured out Your heart for me
My God, my God

It’s been a long road, long road
And I’ve been through so much through the years
I’ve had heartbreak, heartbreak
I kept reaching for You through the tearsThinking I don’t know what’s up ahead
I don’t know how it’ll end
But I know that You’ve got a plan for me
Stepping out onto the waves
Haven’t stopped walking by faith
Whatever comes I will still believeThe story’s not over yet
You’ve got it under control
Why would I fear what I know You’ve designed?
The story’s not over yet
You’ve written every word
Can’t wait to see where You go with my life
The story’s not over yetI found Your goodness through pain
Found Your mercy down upon my knees
I’ve learned when life goes sideways
You still got me where I need to be

In the darkness
It should’ve been me

Every scar and every bruise
You remind me every time
You’re still alive, you’re still aliveIn me, in the beat of my heart
In the light, in all of the dark
All my hope will never die, ’cause
You’re still alive, you’re still alive

14. We All Need Jesus

• By: Danny Gokey
• Length: 4:06
• Listen, here

We’re so quick to point a finger
We judge things from our point of view
The things that we say, the trouble it makes
It hurts you and it hurts me too
This is such a fallen world we live in
It’s really not the way it’s supposed to be
What if we could see each other different?
It’d probably change everythingWe’re all broken people, don’t we all need Jesus?
Every moment of our lives, 24, 3-6-5
Our human is equal, don’t we all have our weaknеss? (Hey, hey)
Everybody makеs mistakes, everybody needs that grace
We all need Jesus, mm
Don’t we all need Jesus?
Oh, we all, we all, we all, we allEverybody needs a Savior
Even the ones who think they don’t
We’ve got stuff we hide (hide), deep down inside (inside)
There’s so much that we don’t show (mm)

Wake up and breathe in deeper than yesterday
Take on the morning like your soul’s been remade
Roll down the windows, let your cares fly away
Good things are yours to claim, you don’t have to waitAll across the sky
New mercies rise
And the future’s brightThis is a new day
Everything bursting with hope
Coming alive this moment, moment
You’ve got a freedom (woo)
No looking back anymore
Open your eyes it’s coming, coming
This is a new day
The old has gone away, the old has gone away
This is a new day (woo)
Don’t let it slip away, don’t let it slip away

16. You First

• By: Riley Clemmons
• Length: 3:16
• Listen, here!

If something’s different about me
There’s been a switch in my demeanor
And if you ask me why I’m changing
I found my life when I found grace and it’s amazingNow all I feel is a feeling where you’ve been forgiven
A weight off my shoulders, no longer something missing
I should have come sooner but I’m here with You now
Watching my walls falling downI love how You love me at my best or worst
So that’s why I’m running, I’m always running to You first
I got scars but You call ’em “Beautiful”
‘Cause I’ve been looking at my skin
But You’ve been looking at my soul
I love how You love me when I can’t love me
So I’m gonna run to You first (run to You first)
I’m gonna run to You first (run to You first)

18. Easy

• By: Sarah Reeves
• Length: 3:31
• Listen, here

You’re my downpour
What my soul is thirsting for
The layers of your nature
Filling up my very coreWhat if I decide?
What if I made up my mind to rely on you?I thought I wanted it easy but easy never needed
Never needed you
Just because I’m feeling weak and feeling lonely
Doesn’t make it true
‘Cause I know I’m only human
And I don’t know what I’m doing
I thought I wanted it easy but easy never needed
Never needed youI choose you, I put you first
I love you even when it hurts
The great heights on the rough nights
You’re still the best when I’m the worst

19. Everything I Could Want

• By: Hillsong Young & Free
• Length: 2:18
• Listen, here!

I’ve seen the world a couple of times by now
We’re all the same
People wishing what they’ve got away
We need a change
Are we looking in the wrong place
Finding meaning in the wrong names
If I’m being honest with myselfAll the fame
And all of the faces
All the fake congratulations
Buying stuff to fill the spaces
Is it ever enough
When it never could be
To gain all the world
But never be free
So we singWhat’s the use comparing
Worrying and stressing
Keeping up with everyone
When tryna be somebody
Perfect love reminds me
That I’ve got everything I could want

Your favour waits within the future
My dreams are small compared to Yours
Why should I worry ’bout tomorrow when I know
That all I gotta do is trust You, LordEvery little thing’s gonna be alright
Every little thing’s gonna be just fine
Whether I can see it now
I know You will work it out for good
Every little thing, everything will be alrightBehind the scenes and in the details
You plan the perfect way for me
Why would I dwell upon the road’s uncertainties
When all I gotta do is look to You
Yeah, all I gotta do is look to You
