When it seems the darkness has overwhelmed my light
You who formed me in the womb will keep me through the night
For You never take Your love away
If my heart should falter and make me lose my way
Still your tender mercies are renewed every day
For You never take Your love away
Your thoughts towards me are more than the oceans full of sand
And You have carved my name in the palm of Your hand
When I fail, when I fall, You’re eager to forgive
Your unchanging, unending love makes me live
For You never take Your love away
You oh Lord are gracious, merciful and kind
All your thoughts and all your ways are higher than mine
And You never take Your love away
You are slow to anger, Your mercy never wanes
It reaches to the heavens for those who fear your name
And You never take Your love away
Your thoughts towards me are more than the oceans full of sand
And You have carved my name in the palm of Your hand
When I fail, when I fall, You’re eager to forgive
Your unchanging, unending love makes me live
For You never take Your love away

Almighty One Unlimited

When we look to the world outside
We see darkness closing in
We are outnumbered, we are surrounded
Confidence grows thin
But when You open our spirit eyes
We have the victory, we won’t lose courage
The battle is the Lord’s
Almighty one, unlimited
Your arm is not too short to save
Almighty one, unlimited
Your name is far above all names
There is no foe that can hold You down
No power can thwart Your plan
You traded grave clothes for robes of glory
There’s fire in Your eyes, and healing in Your hands
You’re the conquering champion
Glorious and exalted one
The First and Last, Ancient of Days
Faithful and True, worthy of praise
You lay bound inside the grave
Till the work was done, the price was paid
You took the keys of Hell away
Now forever and ever you reign
Almighty one, unlimited
Your arm is not too short to save
Almighty one, unlimited
Your name is far above all names

Run Like a Deer
05:24
|

I have taken cover underneath the shelter
Of my own human strength
And I’ve gone to other lovers seeking their protection
I have tirelessly sought them
Now you have brought me to the wilderness
Hemmed me in behind and before
Here I am now broken-hearted empty handed
I wait upon the presence of the Lord
And I run run run like a deer to you
There is no other love that satisfies
I am thirsting for the living water
Only you Lord can provide
I have wandered from the wellspring
Worked all day for nothing, I have chased after wind
And I’ve drunk from foreign rivers
Dug a broken cistern that cannot hold the rain
Day and night I felt your heavy hand
Draining out my will to resist
You forgive me and remove all my rebellion
As far away as east is from the west
So I run run run like a deer to you
There is no other love that satsifies
I am thirsting for the living water
Only you Lord can provide
I will run to you as You run to me Lord
I will run to you as You run to me
I run run run like a deer to you
There is no other love that satisfies
I am thirsting for the living water
Only you Lord can provide
Now you have brought me to the wilderness
Hemmed me in behind and before
And I will worship in the glory of Your presence
Blessed are those who wait upon the Lord
Blessed are those who wait upon the Lord
Blessed are those who wait upon the Lord

Holy Is the Lord
05:45

I look on the Lord clothed in majesty
Seated enthroned in eternity
Humble and glorious, wrapped in your strength
Holiness lights your house, wisdom adorns all your ways
Holy is the Lord, Holy is the Lord
Just like the waters cover the sea
All of the earth is full of your glory
Holy is the Lord
All you’ve established will not be moved
Awesome and mighty, there’s no one like you
Your voice is like thunder, the crash of the waves
With all of creation I lift up your name
Holy is the Lord, Holy is the Lord
Just like the waters cover the sea
All of the earth is full of your glory
Holy is the Lord

Turn Around
04:16
|

All my ways are before You
Every flaw laid bare for you to see
In frailty, in weakness, I lift my hands to Jesus
I lift my hands to Jesus
There’s nothing You can’t do
Nothing You won’t use and
Turn around, turn around for good
No wasted time, Not one moment in my life
You won’t turn around, turn around for good
All my days are before You
Written down before they came to be
If I try to run and hide
You hem me in on every side
You hem me in on every side
There’s nothing You can’t do
Nothing You won’t use and
Turn around, turn around for good
No wasted time, Not one moment in my life
You won’t turn around, turn around for good
There’s nothing You won’t use
No broken thing that you won’t
Turn around, turn around for good
No wasted time, Not one moment in my life
You won’t turn around, turn around…
You search me and You know me
You guide me through the test
You sift through my emotions
My fears and my unrest
You build me as You break me
You steer me with your hand
You work all things for good in ways
That I can’t understand
All my ways are before You
Every flaw laid bare for you to see
In frailty, in weakness, I lift my hands to Jesus,
I lift my hands to Jesus
I lift my hands to Jesus
I lift my hands to Jesus
There’s nothing You can’t do
Nothing You won’t use and
Turn around, turn around for good
No wasted time, Not one moment in my life
You won’t turn around, turn around for good
There’s nothing You won’t use
No broken thing that you won’t
Turn around, turn around for good
No wasted time, Not one moment in my life
You won’t turn around, turn around for good
