Verse 1
Empty sky, empty earth, shallow sea and your spirit rolled
You spoke the word, life was birthed, sky lit up and the sea ran deep
Pre-Chorus
And You breathed
Chorus
The Brightest Star by far can not compare to who You are
The Brightest star in the sky can not compare
And the heavens are telling the beauty of your love
And the heavens are declaring the beauty of your Son
Verse 2
Empty eyes, empty heart, shallow soul and your spirit rolled
You spoke the words, and life was birthed, eyes lit up and my spirit free
Bridge
You spoke and I came alive

Verse 1
I’ve got peace like a river as it’s flowing through the mountains in the summer
I’ve got joy like a fountain as it’s rising from the ground up to the sky

Your love so strong just like a tree
Cos’ it’s roots go down so deep and it’s branches cover me
You treat me just like family and even though I don’t deserve it
You give me something that’s unheard of
Chorus
I’m accepted into the hands of the one who made the mountains
I’m accepted into the hands of the one who paints the colors in the sky
Verse 2
I’ve got peace on the inside as your words settle down my soul
I’ve got joy in my spirit as your laughter rises in my heart
Refrain
You gave us life and you brought us in
Brought us in to the Promised Land
Brought us in to the Promised Land and I could not ask for more

Verse 1
I’ve got no hope in this world
I’ve got no hope in this world cause it's lying
I’ve got no hope in myself
I’ve got no hope in myself
Cause I'm dying when I say, "I can live on my own."
Pre-Chorus
oh oh oh, I'm tired of living in all of this fear
oh oh oh, when You are the light of my world
oh oh oh, the grave can’t hold
Chorus
You
You’re the reason I’m alive
You pulled me from the grave
You pulled me from the graveyard
Verse 2
I’ve tried to live on my own
I’ve tried to live on my own but I’m failing
I’ve tried to love by myself
I’ve tried to love by myself but I’m useless, I’m useless
Bridge
Your hand
Lift's me up when I can not stand
Your hand
Raised me from the dead

Verse 1
God my shepherd, I don’t need a thing
You have bedded me down in the meadows
You renew my strength
You find quiet pools for me to drink from
You’re always true to your word, oh God You are
You point me in the right direction and you let me catch my breath
Chorus
Surely your goodness and your love will chase me down
And bring me back home again
Bring me back home again
Bring me back home
Verse 2
Even though I walk through the valley of death
I will not be afraid for You are with me
Your rod and your staff make me feel safe
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies
You honor me as a guest and anoint my head
Till' my cup overflows
Refrain
Hallelujah

Verse 1
Your hands are strong
A harbor in the storm
I can lay down in your arms & find sleep
Your words are strength
They stand when I sink
They keep me anchored to the ground when there’s chaos all around
Pre-Chorus
Sea billows roll
But that’s alright
Cos’ You’re my beacon tonight
Chorus
I’m calling on You
I’m calling on You
I’m calling on You
Cos’ You’re walking on the waves
I’m calling on You
I’m calling on You
I’m calling on You
Cos’ You’re talking to our graves
I’m calling on You
Verse 2
This heart was bruised
Dirty and used
So I locked it in my chest and laid my dreams to rest
But You knew where I’d go
And You found me when I sank low
Your love it was the key
Now my heart
Your treasure shall be
Refrain
This house is built upon the rock and it won’t be shaken
Even if the earth starts quaking it won’t be moved

Love Has Overcome

Verse 1
The sun was down, the sky was dark, & all I could see was my lonely heart
Everything inside my world turned upside down
Then I heard your voice it cut through the trees
Soft and sweet it rushed through the leaves
The words You said as real as life to me
Chorus
Love has overcome
Verse 2
Sitting in the corner of a room, the air is cold, walls are dull
Waiting on the news of how your health has been
With concern on his face he reads off the charts
But that’s ok there's one more report
I hear You louder than the intercom
Verse 3
Can’t hear yourself think through all of the screams
The words they say, they can not mean
Your house is fading like the setting sun
But there is a peace, it’s more than your anger
There is a hope like when you were younger
Let these words mean a little more
Refrain
Death where is your sting
Sin where is your stain
Love has overcome
