Solution 02:57
Verse It didn't work The way I want My plans just keep falling apart So now my hope is in You And only You I turn my eyes to the sky And I know You'll come through Chorus You are my solution You never fail So wont You lead me Verse 2 Lets take a break To reset my life You can take control of all of me I see the stars dance with You And only You I turn my eyes to the sky And I know You'll come through Bridge How can I doubt You How can i doubt You When Your glory fills the sky You hold the heavens You hold the earth So I trust That You're holding my life

Take Control 03:29
Verse You give me air Breath in my lungs You make my heart Beat like a drum So I will give up Fall to my face My life is now Yours Yours to invade Pre You gave Your life So I'll give my life away Chorus I give You my soul Now You take control Take control of my atmosphere Take control of me from here on I give You my soul Now You take control Take control of my atmosphere Tell me when to breathe in And when to breathe out Verse 2 You write the lines And I'll just repeat You set the groove And I'll dance to Your beat Break me apart Build me again My life is now Yours Yours till the end

Snow 03:33
Verse If white is a reflection of purity Then I am filthy from the stains of yesterday    If holiness is the standard i need to bring Then I am in debt with no way to pay Pre                               Your grace is stronger Your grace is stronger Chorus Oh the blood Oh the blood Is stronger than the stains of my soul Your crimson flood Oh Your crimson flood Can wash me whiter than snow Verse 2                                                                                 If righteousness is what you desire of me Then I feel inadequate to look upon your face. My ghosts seem stubborn and relentless No matter what I try myself I can’t drive them away Bridge                               Your grace is stronger Your grace is stronger than it all

Verse You look at me like I did you wrong I show my hand but you move along My hand stays cold as you meet and greet I show a smile but you hide your teeth Pre I’m here at the door now please just let me in Chorus Save me a seat and maybe I’ll stay longer Hold my hand and maybe I’ll get stronger I know I’m no greater than the least of these But I hear there’s someone here who died for me So save me a seat at your church please Verse 2 Perfect homes, healthy family trees Your Religion, your prestige Lofty saints in suits and ties Look at me with their judging eyes Verse 3 Three divorces, abuse and pain Got no bachelors to my name Lost all the friends that I call dear Fought through life and barely made it here
5.
Parachute 03:16
Verse I will trust You despite All the doubts in my mind And though I cant see the ground Though I cant see a light I will answer when You call May seem crazy but You're there through it all Chorus You're my parachute I can fall through the sky I can fly through the night with You I can jump from the heights Know that I'll be alright with You Verse 2 You are here with me now And the wind's running wild You said don't be afraid I am right by your side I face my fears and I take this fall May seem crazy, but You're there through it all Bridge Gravity has taken it's toll Still I feel Your embrace I'm glad I jumped I'm living by faith. I’m holding onto You Whats the point of gaining the world          If i lose my soul as I wait for this life to land safe

One Life 04:37
Verse There's a fire in my heart And it burns for the weary I can not rest, I must tell them That my Jesus can save them Chorus You only got one life to live One life to live To tell the world of the one Who died to save your soul I only got one life to live One life to live To tell the world of the one Who died to save my soul Verse 2 There's a fountain in my spirit An ocean of living water I will make waves I'll make splashes And his love will overflow Bridge Everybody thinks they're good to go They're breathing in and out of a broken soul Somebody please just let them know They're walking into a fire Nobody wants to hear a song About the wrath of God Nobody wants to share the other view That they’re saved through the cross               My God! Won't you help us understand That we only get one chance To tell the world about You

Verse He saw sadness in her eyes She was made dance, and made for joy But she had lost her smile There was something about His love Afraid to lose herself, she stopped herself Ashamed of what she brings Pre She tried to lead herself But ended in the dark He did not stand back and watch Chorus Oh what an ending A beautiful finish The way You rescued her heart Oh what an ending A beautiful finish The King has left His throne for the harlot in the dark Verse 2 He desired to give it all To bring her home, To make her whole To redeem her from the fall But she had made her choice not to stay His broken heart was pushed aside As she chose to run away Bridge I tried to lead myself But ended in the dark He did not stand back and watch Chorus 2 Oh what an ending A beautiful finish The way You rescued my heart Oh what an ending A beautiful finish The King has left His throne to save me from the dark

Isaiah 6 03:52
Verse In all your majesty You're seated on the throne Angels surround you they sing to you alone My words unworthy beneath their holy noise The coal has touched my lips So I will raise my voice        Chorus I will go to the ends of the earth Till the whole world has heard The greatest love story I will go to the ends of the earth Till the whole world has heard So here I am, send me Verse 2 Highly exalted King Your presence fills the earth The temple's shaking It cant contain your worth I've seen your glory I won't be silent now You've given me words So here I am send me out Bridge For all my days I'll live to raise My Savior's name In all the earth
9.
Verse There’s a call comes ringing o’er the restless wave Send the light Send the light There are souls to rescue, there are souls to save Send the light Send the light Chorus Send the light, the blessed Gospel light Let it shine from shore to shore Send the light, the blessed Gospel light Let it shine forevermore Verse 2 Let us pray that grace may everywhere abound Send the light Send the light And a Christlike spirit everywhere be found Send the light Send the light Verse 3 Let us not grow weary in the work of love Send the light Send the light Let us gather jewels for a crown above Send the light Send the light
10.
Verse I broke your heart over and over again Yet you remained, You still remained By my side over and over again You're breaking through my darkest night Pre Oh what a Friend I've found in You Chorus There's something about the way You love me I'm longing for a love I cant deny, Your love I cant deny There's something about the way You love me Though I'm broken I know that the sun will rise The warmest morning light Verse 2 A ray is breaking through the clouds To show a way, to make a way My broken past, I could not escape until You dawned on me Bridge You rose up Oh Bright and Morning star, So we could dance the night away. Verse 3 I'm starting over, over again My life begins, the day begins
