Vanity of Vanities
04:39
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I have tasted pleasure
I have made my works great
But when I look on my labor,
I know it all will fade away
Verse 2:
I have strived and toiled
And searched out the world’s wisdom
I tried to eat, drink, and be merry
But those things do not satisfy.
Chorus:
Vanity of vanities (a chasing after the wind)
Vanity of vanities (no profit under the sun)
Vanity of vanities, where’s the meaning, the meaning of life
Verse 3:
I know there’s hope for the future,
Christ will come and rule and reign.
But what’s our purpose in the meantime
In this present evil age?
Chorus
Bridge:
Fear the Lord Your God, and keep His commandments, for this is man’s all
So when the chaff is burned away, you will have fruit that endures
Modified Chorus:
Vanity of vanities (no more chasing after the wind)
Vanity of vanities (all my profit unto the Son)
Vanity of vanities, you’re the meaning, the meaning of life
Jesus You’re the meaning, the meaning of life…

Rather
04:49
|

|
Verse 1:
They say that you are good.
They say that you are kind.
They say that you are right by my side.
Sometimes deep down inside
I ask if this is just a lie
Something that I made in my mind.
Verse 2:
You asked me to follow You,
You asked me to let you choose
All the places You would bring me to.
It’s like You left me to die
Still I’m asking You why.
Did anything catch You by surprise.
Pre-chorus:
It’s not hard to believe that You’re there
It’s just hard to believe that you care.
Chorus:
I know You see me here
Falling on my knees again
But I would rather think
That You were never really there
Than to know You caused my pain
Than to know You watched me cry in vain
Than to know You crushed my faith
Than to know You took it all away.
Verse 3:
They say that life is a gift.
It’s something only You can give.
It’s only by Your will we exist.
You gave us the greatest joy,
The prettiest girl or boy
But now they’re gone and I will bury what has died.
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Chorus 2:
Can You see me here
Falling on my knees again?
Can You help me see
That You were always there for me?
Can You heal my pain
When I call upon Your name?
Can You give me faith
Even when You take it all away?

The Father Song
04:21
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
I was just a child when I went free
Thinking the world was all about me
I left and I saw the tears flow from his eyes
I thought the world’s pleasure would fill me inside
Then came one day, I saw the light
Weeping and crying, I lifted up my eyes
Chorus:
You are the father that welcomes me home
You never forsake or leave me alone
I am Yours, You are mine, Your arms are open wide
Your love and adopt my orphan heart
You never abandon me when it gets hard
I am Yours, You are mine, Your arms are open wide
Verse 2:
I was just a child when my heart broke in two
My worst fears and dreams were coming true
He left and he saw the tears in my eyes
I thought everything was perfectly fine
Then came one day he left us behind
Weeping and crying, I lifted up my eyes
Bridge:
Dance with me, dance with me ‘til all the pain is gone
Sing with me, sing with me ‘til the night is done
You are my father, I am Your son
Laugh with me, laugh with me ‘til my tears are dry
Walk with me, walk with me ‘til we’re side by side
You are my father, I am Your Son

Deliver Me
03:33
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Lord, You know I long to be holy.
But this sinful flesh is warring against me.
I do what I hate, I hate what I do.
Who can deliver me? Only You.
Chorus:
(Oooh, ooh, ooh) Only the man
(Oooh, ooh, ooh) With nail pierced hands
(Oooh, ooh, ooh) Can deliver me
(Oooh, ooh, ooh) Deliver me.
Verse 2:
I used to be slave to my sin.
But now I am a slave of righteousness.
Death once had dominion over me.
But by faith in Christ I’ve been set free.
Chorus
Bridge:
From my sinful heart, deliver me.
From my selfish thoughts, deliver me.
From my wicked ways, deliver me.
Deliver me, deliver me

The Fringe
03:29
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Don’t pass me by
I am broken inside
I’ve been bleeding for years, bleeding for years
I’m desperate for new life
Verse 2:
Don’t let me die
I’ve tried every kind of remedy, of remedy
I have nothing left to try
Chorus:
The fringe is all I need
Verse 3:
Don’t leave my here
I am on my knees
You’re my only hope, my only hope
Where else can I go?
Bridge:
I just ask for one thing
To touch the threads of Your garment
I know my healing’s in Your hand
Just the hem is my deliverance

What Can I Give
04:27
|
|||
|
Verse 1:
Yesterday, I thought I had a lot to offer,
Yesterday, my ministry was sweet.
Yesterday, I didn’t see the pride inside of me.
Pre-chorus:
What can I give to You my king?
I have nothing left to bring to You.
The best that I have are just filthy rags.
The best that I have is nothing.
Chorus:
The only thing that matters is the love I have for You
It’s not about my works and all the things that I can do
God, I want to bear fruit that will not be burned away on that Day.
Verse 2:
Yesterday, I had a plan for my life.
Yesterday, I thought it was a call.
Yesterday, maybe I wasn’t listening after all.
Pre-chorus
Chorus
Bridge:
I give myself, I’ll be a living sacrifice
This is my humble act of worship.
I’m living not for men but only for Your eyes.
This is my humble act of worship.
Chorus

You Know Me

Verse 1:
In this lonely place
No one knows my name.
But, Father, You are here.
And You know me, You love me.
Chorus:
When I sit, when I rise
Before a thought comes to my mind
Oh, You know me.
Every hair on my head
Every word I’ve ever said
Oh, You know me. Still You love me.
Verse 2:
In my mother’s womb
I was made by You
God, You hem me in
And You know me, You love me.
Verse 3:
There’s no place to hide
You turn the dark to night.
Your presence follows me
And You know me, You love me.
Bridge:
And God, I wanna know You
The way, You know me.
To see, no longer dimly
To know, You face to face.
And God, I wanna love You
The way, You love me.
To lay, down my life
The way, You poured our Yours

I Just Want to Know You
03:50
|
|||
|
Chorus
I just want to know You, I just want to be with You again
I just want to know You, I just want to be Your closest friend
Verse 1
There used to be a time
when You and I would climb
the mountains together
You asked me to come
Away with You and run
I said yes, so why are You so distant?
Chorus
Verse 2
I look back upon the days
When my lips were full of praise
And my prayers just felt like conversation
You’d whisper in my ear
Words of love to calm my fear
But it’s been so long since I have heard You
I just want to know You, I just want to hear You again
I just want to know You, I just want to be Your closest friend
Verse 3
I remember long ago
When I felt your presence blow
Through the room
Like Moses by the sea
Your presence followed me.
It still does, but now I cannot feel it.
I just want to know You, I just want to feel You again
I just want to know You, I just want to be Your closest friend
Bridge
Take me back (echo)
Under the apple tree
I’m longing for (echo)
Nearness and intimacy

You’re a good, good Father.
You give good gifts to those who seek.

You’re a good, good potter.
We are the work of Your hands.

Sometimes You marr, but then You will mend.

Your ways are higher than mine.
Your thoughts are higher than mine.

Lead me on good Potter.

Learn to Say

|
Verse 1:
You are the maker of heaven, creator of all the earth
I am dust in Your presence, unworthy to stand before Your throne

You give and You take away
I praise and I will learn to say
Chorus:
I place my trust
I place my hope
I place my faith in You alone
Verse 2:
You are the author of all history, writing the seasons and times
I am just a mere mortal, I cannot understand the reasons why
Bridge:
I lift my hands and praise
The one who holds my days
You don’t owe me anything
You deserve my everything
