You delivered my soul from condemnation, keep me from stumbling (Psalm 56:13) In the toughest of times, keeping me in line, Through the trials and the oppositional sufferings Losing everything I ever worked for, thinking life is over, so I turned to You Then You showed me that losing everything to gain Christ Is the pinnacle of life, eternal life is knowing You In the midst of my suffering, there You are standing close never remaining afar Giving me child-like faith, I know You'll catch me Father if I let go of the bars There is no other like You, there is no other that's true Faithful with never-ending compassionate lovingkindness in everything that You do! Hosanna, Hosanna, yes, You are mighty to save Hosanna, Hosanna, Hallelujah, You conquered the grave! My Savior, You lift me up when my heavy heart is weary My Redeemer, Your love never fails and is always constantly near me! My Shelter and my refuge, the One who knows my heart For the joy set before You, our salvation, You endured the cross (Hebrews 12:2) So I consider all my sufferings at the present time Unworthy to be compared with the glory that will be revealed to us! (Rom. 8:18) You lift me up Lord Jesus, lift me on eagle's wings You lift me up Lord Jesus, lifting my heart to sing You lift me up Lord Jesus, You are my everything Jesus, apart from You, I can't do anything O Lord, You're incredibly patient; Your love, it overwhelms. Though I mess up every single day you hold me close; In Your house, I choose to dwell. Sometimes my ways are crooked, misguided, or straight up wrong. Often I put up a front, for my friends, that I am strong. I don't wanna show my weakness; I gotta have it all together when I'm talking bout Jesus. I must be perfect; Who wants to listen to a guy who's flawed and conceited? Look at your other brothers with solid discourse and are never flustered; You need to brush up on your speech, it's lacking luster. My best was never good enough; compared to other saints I didn't measure up. I failed again. Man, I feel like giving up. Such an empty life; God, I need Your holy touch. My heart said I didn't need your mercy, but you called my bluff. You saw right through me; I'm just a little kid trying to act all tough. My calloused heart turned fleshy; the walls are crumbling down. I don't need to look a certain way; I don't gotta have a certain style. I've regained my vision and my sin has been exposed. God, thank you for setting me straight back on this narrow road. You lift me up Lord Jesus, lift me on eagle's wings You lift me up Lord Jesus, lifting my heart to sing You lift me up Lord Jesus, You are my everything Jesus, apart from You, I can't do anything

Our love for each other was so pure I looked out for you, you reached out to me We would never be separated by simple aberrations 'Cause of regular collaborations Yes, our times together were so sweet And on the weekends we would have our meetings You were seeking my attention You called me every single day for conversation You were confident even when the problems hit Obstacles and potholes were challenges You trusted me amidst your disarray I hoped you stayed to hear what I had to say My encouragement was your strength to carry on Even though you relied on Dom Perignon You wanted a higher love, I provided You are my bride, why did you fight it? You wanna be together with me for eternity? You turn your head the other way and choose to feed your greed You are my masterpiece I have washed your feet My love for you will never change I will never change No matter what the world says about you Truth will always stand and it'll bear fruit Sometimes you're embarrassed of me And yet so arrogant to your peers like Pharisees Heresy floats on the surface Instead of building on my rock, you decide to throw them You would greet me with a cloaked passion But lacked the compassion, you actor You act up, attracted to blasphe Me, myself, and I mentality The fallacy in that you ain't really worthy You're not the master says Luke 17 I married you, I've tasted the tea you brewed If you ain't hot for me, then you're dispensable I don't care how sweet you were Today make sure you pick up my cross and follow my word You wanna be together with me for eternity? You turn your head the other way and choose to feed your greed You are my masterpiece I have washed your feet My love for you will never change I will never change You're holding out for something big to happen All you really need are my arms to be wrapped in You know that But you refuse to admit that I am the only one that you're lackin' What happened to the passion? You're lazy Letting all the stupid things drive you crazy I told you, I am everything you're ever gonna need So please let go of it all You see the pain that I felt for you then? The gift you received with your every single amen? It's been a few days, months or years Since the last time I took away your fears, your tears I miss you, well did you know that? I paid the price so you never gotta look back All I want is to love and be loved in return You wanna be together with me for eternity? You turn your head the other way and choose to feed your greed You are my masterpiece I have washed your feet My love for you will never change I will never change You wanna be together with me for eternity? You turn your head the other way and choose to feed your greed You are my masterpiece I have washed your feet My love for you will never change I will never change You wanna be together with me for eternity? You turn your head the other way and choose to feed your greed You are my masterpiece I have washed your feet My love for you will never change I will never change

There are times in my days when around me comes a wave of doubt I just want to scream out loud "What the heck am I doing here?" "God, why does it seem like You're really just ignoring my tears?" I thought that when I'm founded in You I'd kiss my fears a sweet farewell too But why can't I go out and defend Your name While the world is attacking all the ones who hold faith? I save face, instead of willing to be despised And I forget that there's only one set of eyes Looking down upon me, with a heart full of love No matter how much I fall, you still say "Enough" "My child, I've already won the battle for you" "All you need to do is to cling to my truth" Lord, while I'm climbing this slope Please help me to keep You as my only hope When I struggle in the storm, I choose to rejoice When I'm weak and feeling helpless, I choose rejoice Even though my situation isn't getting better I will choose to rejoice and praise my Lord When I feel like I'm alone, I choose to rejoice Whenever I get spit on, I choose to rejoice Even though my situation isn't getting better I will choose to rejoice and praise my Lord There's hope through addiction, hope through affliction Hope when everything seems emptied and missing Tears of sorrow pouring down your cheeks like waterfalls Last memories of happiness difficult to recall Scarred and hardened by the challenges we face in life Broken hearted 'cause nothing ever seems to go right Hope has lost its meaning, attitudes are shifting Pessimistic perspectives has birthed a state of drifting Discouragement steering the sails above depressing waters No matter where you look, sorrow and pain appearing larger The walls are closing in, escape is looking dim But there is Someone reaching through the mess your drowning in He's the lover of your soul, He'll never let you go Knowing the times are hard, but perseverance builds and molds Shaping the shattered clay, scraping the matters away Hope in His grace can bring rejoicing through the rain When I struggle in the storm, I choose to rejoice When I'm weak and feeling helpless, I choose rejoice Even though my situation isn't getting better I will choose to rejoice and praise my Lord When I feel like I'm alone, I choose to rejoice Whenever I get spit on, I choose to rejoice Even though my situation isn't getting better I will choose to rejoice and praise my Lord Face to the floor, hands held high Can't take it anymore, Lord, I'm tired Will I see Your joy coming in the morning sky? Will I see Your joy coming in the morning sky? Face to the floor, hands held high Can't take it anymore, Lord, I'm tired Will I see Your joy coming in the morning sky? Will I see Your joy coming in the morning sky? I heard of many victorious stories Rising like a phoenix from the ashes of a burnt glory That stood up in the past, columns were pretty sturdy They were all the big shots something like Robert Horry They boasted about the bricks they built upon the sand Stood in a band of thirty men with similar plans Then the tsunami arrived and washed away their kingdoms Their castles and accolades demolished in an instant But amidst all the horror, there was the redemption Exemption from the debt, the past wasn't even mentioned Healing of the hurt, cleaning of the dirt Rays of light were beaming on the surface of their shirts I thought that the grass was greener on the other side Now I see my struggles are vital for me to thrive God calls me His beloved every single day No matter the circumstances my hope will never sway When I struggle in the storm, I choose to rejoice When I'm weak and feeling helpless, I choose rejoice Even though my situation isn't getting better I will choose to rejoice and praise my Lord When I feel like I'm alone, I choose to rejoice Whenever I get spit on, I choose to rejoice Even though my situation isn't getting better I will choose to rejoice and praise my Lord Face to the floor, hands held high Can't take it anymore, Lord, I'm tired Will I see Your joy coming in the morning sky? Will I see Your joy coming in the morning sky? Face to the floor, hands held high Can't take it anymore, Lord, I'm tired Will I see Your joy coming in the morning sky? Will I see Your joy coming in the morning sky? Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me But he said to me "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness" Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses So that Christ's power may rest on me That is why, for Christ's sake, I delight in weaknesses In insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties For when I am weak, then I am strong
