past & present & future

All the roads that lie before me
All the struggles I go through
Every second I’m reminded
That it all belongs to you
Now I’m ready
To let it go
To give it away

So strike a match, set fire to the list
Of all my good intentions, all my preconceived ideas
I want to do Your will no matter what it is

do not spare the rod
how i long for faithfulness
tell me once again of Your grace
and woo me in
let not these lovers be more attractive than You, God

It's all Yours, God
My life is Yours, my heart is Yours
My hands and my feet are Yours
Every song that I sing
It's all Yours, all is Yours
All belongs to You
Our gifts are Yours, God
All our dreams are Yours, God
All our plans are Yours, God
The whole earth is Yours, God
Everything is Yours

i was so scared to make my mind up
but God said it was time for me to make my way in the world, this little girl

And I'll be by your side
Wherever you fall
In the dead of night
Whenever you call
And please don't fight
These hands that are holding you
My hands are holding you

No parachutes or safety nets here
One foot on the water to face these fears
I'm coming out strong like I can't be wrong
I said "hey, I won't fall in the middle"

"Something Heavenly" by Sanctus Real

It's time for healing time to move on
It's time to fix what's been broken too long
Time to make right what has been wrong
It's time to find my way to where I belong
There's a wave that's crashing over me
And all I can do is surrender

(Chorus)
Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but somehow there's peace
It's hard to surrender to what I can't see
but I'm giving in to something Heavenly

Time for a milestone
Time to begin again
Reevaluate who I really am
Am I doing everything to follow Your will Or just climbing aimlessly over these hills
So show me what it is You want from me
I give everything, I surrender...
To...

(Chorus)

Time to face up
Clean this old house
Time to breathe in and let everything out
That I've wanted to say for so many years
Time to release all my held back tears

Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but I believe
You're up to something bigger than me
Larger than life something Heavenly

Whatever You're doing inside of me
It feels like chaos but now I can see This is something bigger than me
Larger than life something Heavenly
Something Heavenly

It's time to face up
Clean this old house
Time *to* breathe in and let everything out

wondering...

I'm always pretty happy when I'm just kicking back with you.

To the desperate eyes and reaching hands
To the suffering and the lean
To the ones the world has cast aside
Where you want me I will be

I will go, Lord, send me
To the world, to the lost, to the poor and hungry
Take everything I am, clay within your hands
I will go, send me

Give me eyes to seek the pain
Let the blessing You've poured out on me
Not be spent on me in vain

Can you feel the hearts of the children?
Aching for home, for something of their very own
Reaching hands, with nothing to hold on to,
But hope for a better day, a better day

Crying Jesus, help me
To feel the love again in my own land
But if unknown roads lead away from home,
Give me loving arms, away from harm

Just because everything's changing
Doesn't mean it's never
Been this way before

You'll come back
When it's over
No need to say good bye

Now we're back to the beginning
It's just a feeling and no one knows yet
But just because they can't feel it too
Doesn't mean that you have to forget
Let your memories grow stronger and stronger
'Til they're before your eyes

You'll come back
When they call you
No need to say good bye


I've got my memories
They're always
Inside of me
But I can't go back
Back to how it was

Created for a place
I've never known

And I got my heart
Set on
What happens next

We are miracles
And we're not alone

Even if I fall

Even If I Fall
Mike Cowart & Michelle Valley
(can be heard at http://www.myspace.com/mikecowart)

I may pass through the waters
But one thing I know,
You are with me
I may walk through the fire,
But one thing I know,
You are with me
Though my way seems uncertain,
In You I'll put my trust

(Ladies) -
Even if I fall,
I'll rise again
for You are my God
Even if I fall, You lift me up (rpt)
(Men) -
When You're with me, I will rise up
When You lift me up (rpt)

I may go through some trials
But I will not fear, for You are with me
I will go to the mountain,
And I will press on, for You are with me
Though my way seems uncertain
In You I'll put my trust
(chorus)
