Matt Maher: Christ is Risen

Let no one caught in sin remain
Inside the lie of inward shame
We fix our eyes upon the cross
And run to him who showed great love
And bled for us
Freely you bled, for us

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake!
Come and rise up from the grave!

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake!
Come and rise up from the grave!

Beneath the weight of all our sin
You bow to none but heavens will
No scheme of hell, no scoffer’s crown
No burden great can hold you down
In strength you reign
Forever let your church proclaim

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake!
Come and rise up from the grave

Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake!
Come and rise up from the grave

Oh death! Where is your sting?
Oh hell! Where is your victory?
Oh Church! Come stand in the light!
The glory of God has defeated the night!

Oh death! Where is your sting?
Oh hell! Where is your victory?
Oh Church! Come stand in the light!
Our God is not dead, he’s alive! he’s alive!

Christ is risen from the dead
Trampling over death by death
Come awake, come awake!
Come and rise up from the grave
Christ is risen from the dead
We are one with him again
Come awake, come awake!
Come and rise up from the grave

Rise up from the grave…

Delirious: Kingdom of Comfort

Save me save me
From the kingdom of comfort where I am king
From my unhealthy lust of material things

I built myself a happy home
In my palace on my own
My castle falling in the sand
Pull me out, please grab my hand
I just forgot where I came from

Save me save me
From the kingdom of comfort where I am king
From my unhealthy lust of material things

I rob myself of innocence
With the poison of indifference
I buy my stuff at any cost
A couple of clicks and I pay the price
Coz what I gain is someone else’s loss

Save me save me
From the kingdom of comfort where I am king
From my unhealthy lust of material things

Instrumental/Lament

Save me save me
From the kingdom of comfort where I am king
To this kingdom of heaven where you are king

Switchfoot: American Dream

When success is equated with excess
The ambition for excess wrecks us
As top of the mind becomes the bottom line
When success is equated with excess

If your time ain’t been nothing for money
I start to feel really bad for you, honey
Maybe honey, put your money where your mouth’s been running
If your time ain’t been nothing but money

I want out of this machine
It doesn’t feel like freedom

This ain’t my American dream
I want to live and die for bigger things
I’m tired of fighting for just me
This ain’t my American dream

When success is equated with excess
When we’re fighting for the Beamer, the Lexus
As the heart and soul breath in the company goals
Where success is equated with excess

‘Cause baby’s always talkin’ ’bout a ring
And talk has always been the cheapest thing
Is it true would you do what I want you to
If I show up with the right amount of bling?

Like a puppet on a monetary string
Maybe we’ve been caught singing
Red, white, blue, and green
But that ain’t my America,
That ain’t my American dream

Newsboys: Miracles

You ever seen a brother or sister who could cure a disease
I hadn’t but I wanted to
Show the world that nothing’s impossible if they can believe
They’re gonna see a miracle

I didn’t know what to do
So I went running to you
To find that cure
Now I know for sure…

I’m done looking around
I finally figured it out
It’s more than metaphysical

You got me up from down
Faith has shattered my doubts
I believe in miracles

I knew what I wanted to do but just like gravity’s pull
I always did the opposite

Life was a meaningless party
I started to fall into a bottomless hole
But then I got a miracle

Some people don’t have a clue
If all of this could be true
But take a look at me
I was blind but now I see

I’m done looking around
I finally figured it out
It’s more than metaphysical

You got me up from down
Faith has shattered my doubts
I believe in miracles

There’s something that’s missing
If we can’t recognize
That our own existence
Is the miracle before our eyes

I’m done looking around
I finally figured it out
It’s more than metaphysical

You got me up from down
Faith has shattered my doubts
I believe in miracles

I’m done looking around
I finally figured it out
It’s more than metaphysical

You got me up from down
Faith has shattered my doubts
I believe in miracles

It’s more than metaphysical

Matt Hammitt: All of Me

Afraid to love
Something that could break
Could I move on
If you were torn away?
And I’m so close to what I can’t control
I can’t give you half my heart
And pray He makes you whole

(Chorus)
You’re gonna have all of me
You’re gonna have all of me
‘Cause you’re worth every falling tear
You’re worth facing any fear
You’re gonna know all my love
Even if it’s not enough
Enough to mend our broken hearts
But giving you all of me is where I’ll start

I won’t let sadness steal you from my arms
I won’t let pain keep you from my heart
I’ll trade the fear of all that I could lose
For every moment I share with you

Chorus

Heaven brought you to this moment, it’s too wonderful to speak
You’re worth all of me, you’re worth all of me
So let me recklessly love you, even if I bleed
You’re worth all of me, you’re worth all of me

Chorus (X2)

It’s where I’ll start

Sidewalk Prophets: Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us

Every journey needs a first step to start
Every fire grows from a single spark
A great symphony begins with just one note
One voice can give the whole world hope
There’s no impossible, nothing we can’t face
The tallest mountains are moved by a seed of faith
Come together, don’t you know that you’re not alone

[Chorus:] We will rise up
For the kingdom come
Lay down our lives
For the sake of love
If God’s with us
We know that
Nothing’s gonna stop us
Nothing’s gonna stop us

He has called you, to all the places you’ll go
He’s the author of every dream that you hold
Come together, don’t you know that the time is now
The time is now

[Chorus]

We will, rise up
for the kingdom come
Lay down, our lives
For the sake of love
If God’s with us
we know that
Nothing’s gonna stop us

No height, no depth
Could ever keep us from the love of God, I know, I know
No life, no death
Could ever separate us from the love of God, I’m sure

[Chorus]

Phillips Craig and Dean: From the Inside Out

A thousand times I’ve failed, still your mercy remains
And should I stumble again, still I’m caught in your grace
Everlasting, Your light when shine when all else fades
Never ending, Your glory goes beyond all fame

chorus:
My heart and my soul, Lord I give you control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

Your will above all else, my purpose remains
The art of losing myself in bringing You praise

chorus 2:
Everlasting, Your light will shine whe nall else fades
Never ending, your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise
From the inside out, Lord my soul cries out
My heart and my soul, I give you control

Everlasting, Your light will shine whe nall else fades
Never ending, your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise
From the inside out, Lord my soul cries out
My heart and my soul, I give you control

Everlasting, Your light will shine whe nall else fades
Never ending, your glory goes beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart is to bring You praise
From the inside out, Lord my soul cries out
My heart and my soul, I give you control

Tenth Avenue North: Satisfy

Before the sun has touched the sky
Colors bursting from Your eyes
Before the flood of the morning light
Before the earth has felt Your heat
Before I stand up to my feet
Before I begin to feel this weak

Satisfy me Lord, oh oh
Satisfy me Lord, oh oh
I’m begging You, to help me see
You’re all I want, You’re all I need
Oh, satisfy me Lord

When the day is closing in
Like the stars in the night I am falling
Into the pull of the earth and it’s affection
In me, oh lord, can you create
A pure heart cuz I’m afraid
That I just might run back to the things I hate

Satisfy me Lord, oh oh
Satisfy me Lord, oh oh
Yeah, I’m begging You, to help me see
You’re all I want, You’re all I need
Oh, satisfy me Lord

You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful
You’re more than all this world can give
You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful
You’re love is all I need to live
You’re beautiful, You’re beautiful
You’re more than all this world can give
You’re beautiful, more beautiful
You’re love is all I need to live
