"While You Were Sleeping"

Oh little town of Bethlehem
Looks like another silent night
Above your deep and dreamless sleep
A giant star lights up the sky
And while you're lying in the dark
There shines an everlasting light
For the King has left His throne
And is sleeping in a manger tonight

Oh Bethlehem, what you have missed while you were sleeping
For God became a man
And stepped into your world today
Oh Bethlehem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleeping
While you were sleeping

Oh little town of Jerusalem
Looks like another silent night
The Father gave His only Son
The Way, the Truth, the Life had come
But there was no room for Him in the world He came to save

Jerusalem, what you have missed while you were sleeping
The Savior of the world is dying on your cross today
Jerusalem, you will go down in history
As a city with no room for its King
While you were sleeping
While you were sleeping

United States of America
Looks like another silent night
As we're sung to sleep by philosophies
That save the trees and kill the children
And while we're lying in the dark
There's a shout heard 'cross the eastern sky
For the Bridegroom has returned
And has carried His bride away in the night

America, what will we miss while we are sleeping
Will Jesus come again
And leave us slumbering where we lay
America, will we go down in history
As a nation with no room for its King
Will we be sleeping
Will we be sleeping

United States of America
Looks like another silent tonight

"Bring The Rain"

I can count a million times
People asking me how I
Can praise You with all that I've gone through
The question just amazes me
Can circumstances possibly
Change who I forever am in You
Maybe since my life was changed
Long before these rainy days
It's never really ever crossed my mind
To turn my back on you, oh Lord
My only shelter from the storm
But instead I draw closer through these times
So I pray

Bring me joy, bring me peace
Bring the chance to be free
Bring me anything that brings You glory
And I know there'll be days
When this life brings me pain
But if that's what it takes to praise You
Jesus, bring the rain

I am Yours regardless of
The dark clouds that may loom above
Because You are much greater than my pain
You who made a way for me
By suffering Your destiny
So tell me what's a little rain
So I pray

Holy, holy, holy
Is the Lord God Almighty

All in All

You are my strength when I am weak.
You are the treasure that I seek.
You are my All in All.
Seeking You as a precious jewel.
Lord, to give up I'd be a fool.
You are my All in All.

Chorus
Jesus, Lamb of God,
Worthy is Your name.
Jesus, Lamb of God
Worthy is Your name!

Taking my sin, my cross, my shame,
Rising again I bless Your name.
You are my All in All.
When I fall down, You pick me up.
When I am dry, You fill my cup.
You are my All in All!

When the dark pow'rs had done their worst,
Jesus brought vict'ry o'er their curse.
He is our All in All.
Death cannot hold the King of kings.
Now to His heirs new life He brings.
He is our All in All.

Jesus I Love You

Not because I've been so faithful,
not because I've been so good;
You've always been there for me
to provide my every need.

You were there when I was lonely,
You were there in all my pain,
guiding my footsteps,
shelter from the rain.

And it was You who made my life complete,
You are to me my everything
and that is why I sing.

Chorus:
Jesus, I love You because You care,
I couldn't imagine if You weren't there.

Jesus, I love You because You care,
I couldn't imagine if You weren't there.


You are the joy of my salvation,
You're the peace in my storm.
Your loving arms protect me,
You shelter me from harm.

You are Alpha and Omega,
the beginning and the end,
my strong tower, my dearest and best friend.

And it was You who made my life complete,
You are to me my everything
and that is why I sing.

Chorus

Vamp:
Jesus, I love You,
I love You.

Jesus, I love You,
I love You.

Jesus, I love You,
I love You because You care.

Ending:
I love You,
I love You,
(because You are You).

Mercy Came Running

Once there was a holy place
Evidence of God's embrace
And I can almost see mercy's face
Pressed against the veil

Looking down with longing eyes
Mercy must have realized
That once His blood was sacrificed
Freedom would prevail

And as the sky grew dark
And the earth began to shake
With justice no longer in the way

Chorus:
Mercy came running
Like a prisoner set free
Past all my failures to the point of my need
When the sin that I carried
Was all I could see
And when I could not reach mercy
Mercy came running to me

Once there was a broken heart
Way to human from the start
And all the years left it torn apart
Hopeless and afraid

Walls I never meant to build
Left this prisoner unfulfilled
Freedom called but even still
It seemed so far away

I was bound by the chains
From the wages of my sin
Just when I felt like giving in

repeat chorus

Sometimes I still feel so far
So far from where I really should be
He gently calls to my heart
Just to remind me

"My Life Is In Your Hands"

You don't have to worry
And don't you be afraid
Joy comes in the morning
Troubles they don't last always
For there's a friend in Jesus
Who will wipe your tears away
And if your heart is broken
Just lift your hands and say

Oh
I know that I can make it
I know that I can stand
No matter what may come my way
My life is in your hands

With Jesus I can take it
With Him I know I can stand
No matter what may come my way
My life is in your hands

So when your tests and trials
They seem to get you down
And all your friends and loved ones
Are nowhere to be found
Remember there's a friend in Jesus
Who will wipe your tears away
And if you heart is broken
Just lift your hands and say

Oh
I know that I can make it
I know that I can stand
No matter what may come my way
My life is in your hands

With Jesus I can take it
With Him I know I can stand
No matter what may come my way
My life is in your hands

You Raise Me Up

When I am down
And oh my soul so weary
When troubles come
And my heart burdened be
Then I am still and wait here in the silence
Until you come and sit a while with me

(chorus)
You raise me up
So I can stand on mountains
You raise me up
To walk on stormy seas
And I am strong
When I am on your shoulders
You raise me up
To more than I can be

There is no life
No life without it's hunger
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly
But when you come
And I am filled with wonder
Sometimes I think
I glimpse eternity

(Chorus)

[Pressing-On]

Breathe on Me

In humble adoration
I kneel before Your throne
In brokenness I seek
Your face alone
Above You there’s no other
Who’s able to restore my soul
Come and make me whole

Breathe on me
Power of God come in and change me
You are all I need
Holy Spirit breathe on me

I’m ready to surrender
To give You all my life
No matter what the cost or sacrifice
Reveal to me Your calling
Cleanse me from my prideful ways
Use me now I pray

Breathe on me
Power of God come in and change me
You are all I need
Holy Spirit breathe on me

I will say of the Lord
He is my strong tower
My rock and my fortress in whom I trust
In times of the storm and in tribulation
He is my help and my salvation

Oh breath of God
Restore my soul

I will say of the Lord
He is my strong tower
My rock and my fortress in whom I trust
In times of the storm and in tribulation
He is my help and my salvation

Breathe on me
Power of God come in and change me
You are all I need
Holy Spirit breathe on me

I need Thee how I need Thee
Every hour I need Thee
O Bless me now my Savior
I come to Thee

Crucified With Christ

As I look back on what I thought was living
I'm amazed at the price I choose to pay
And to think I ignored what really mattered
Cause I thought the sacrifice would be too great
But when I finally reached the point of giving in
I found the cross was calling even then
And even though it took dying to survive
I've never felt so much alive.

CHORUS:

For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live
Not I but Christ that lives within me
His Cross will never ask for more than I can give
For its not my strength but His
There's no greater sacrifice
For I am crucified with Christ and yet I live

As I hear the Savior call for daily dying
I will bow beneath the weight of Calvary
Let my hands surrender to His piercing purpose
That holds be to the cross but sets me free
I will glory in the power of the cross
The things I thought were gain I count as loss
And with His suffering I identify
And by His resurrection power I am alive

(CHORUS)

And I will offer all I have
So that His cross is not in vain
For I found to live is Christ
And to die is truly gain

(CHORUS)

Who Am I

Casting Crowns

Who am I, that the Lord of all the earth
Would care to know my name
Would care to feel my hurt
Who am I, that the Bright and Morning Star
Would choose to light the way
For my ever wandering heart

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours, I am Yours

Who am I, that the eyes that see my sin
Would look on me with love and watch me rise again
Who am I, that the voice that calmed the sea
Would call out through the rain
And calm the storm in me

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours

Not because of who I am
But because of what You've done
Not because of what I've done
But because of who You are

I am a flower quickly fading
Here today and gone tomorrow
A wave tossed in the ocean
Vapor in the wind
Still You hear me when I'm calling
Lord, You catch me when I'm falling
And You've told me who I am
I am Yours

I am Yours
Whom shall I fear
Whom shall I fear
'Cause I am Yours
I am Yours
