You Won't Let Me Go

I’ve been trapped 

Caught in a lie

I don’t know how 

I don’t know why

I don’t know where

I don’t understand 

But I know when I’m in despair

When I’m hungry and thirsty

You will not leave me alone

No, you will not leave me alone 

When I’m truly desperate for you

I find you’re promises are all true

Although I’ve been complacent 

You still are so patient 

You show me my heart 

You bring me back to the start

That I might have once again 

That pure devotion 

To you alone, my first love

You’re watching me from above

You won’t let me go

No no

You won’t let me go 

You will break this chain

And demolish the lie that’s filled my brain

You will remove all doubt and fear

And I will find you here

Amidst my hunger and brokenness 

You fill me with your righteousness 

You satisfy my longing heart

You bring me back to the start

You won’t let me go

No no

No you won’t let me go 

You give a desire that you might fill

You give me grace to climb this hill

You grant me purity to see you

You’re working in my heart it’s true

It’s you 

It’s you

You’re everything, everywhere

You’re working in my despair 

And you know what I need before I ask

You tear down this mask

Which was hiding me

So all might see  

It’s not me, everything good in me is you

It’s all you do

I must continually abide

That you might always live inside

Lord fill me

You’re all I need

And don’t let me go

No

No don’t let me go

Although it Seems Impossible

Although it seems impossible 
He will make a way
Impossible just trust and obey 
He’s waiting and watching how will you respond? 
Impossible but He will make a way
Impossible oh trust and obey 
He’ll conform you and mould you 
There’s no other way

You have a plan
Something you hope for
Yet your dreams come crashing to the ground
The day seems to turn
Into darkest night
All your hopes are gone
There is not one left
All your Human Resources 
Have utterly failed
It seems you have no strength left
To follow the Lamb
Lift up your head and sing
Follow wherever He goes
Through failures and trials 
Crushed plans and dreams 
He’s causing you to
Depend on Him more
Leading you closer
Despite the hardships and pain
To truly depend on Him only

Bridge
There is no one I desire 
In heaven and earth
Besides You O Lord
Moment by moment
May I continually 
See my great need of you
May I go in faith and humility
To Your thrown of grace
Finding mercy and grace 
in my time of need
Although it seems impossible 
You will make a way
You’ll help me to trust you
To always obey
It’s only by your grace
You give me Your strength 
Oh thank You my Father
You will make a way

Streams in the Desert

Listen to the streams song

It's always flowing down

Going even father still

Rushing to the lowest place

it's always going down

Chorus

Behold He is doing something new

Now it springs forthDo you not see?

He will make a way in the wilderness

and streams in the desert

Far in the forest tiny flowers bloom

where no one else sees

in the wild blooming bright

yet bringing glory to the Father

no one else may see

Those who wait upon the Lord

Renew their strength

Soaring high above the earth

These earthly things grow dim

The earth growing smaller

While soaring high above

Bridge

We must learn acceptance with joy

wherever we find ourselves

Whether crushed like wheat

refined like gold by fire

Moulded like clay led by the shores of loneliness

or broken as bread to bless a multitude

Always to rejoice

Blooming wherever God has planted us

Ending

Behold He is doing something new

Now it springs forthDo you not see?He will make a way in the wilderness

and streams in the desert

That we might declare His praise

For He is good

Change Me

Oh Lord, please change me, remake me

Conform my perspective on these trials

Oh Lord, I see my attitude is not like yours

May I be more grieved for sinning against you

than for my own worried self and desires

Oh Lord, I will wait for you to transform me

You will change me from glory to glory

Through every trial you bring

Each one so perfectly made

That I might depend on you more

and all else will fade

in the light of your loving kindness

and by the power of your grace

I will see your faithfulness

Thank you Lord, you know whats best for me

And in your time you make all things beautiful

Although now I may not see

Your ways they are perfect

Your plans they are good

You know what I need

You will change me

Your Nature Divine will flow from within

Your blood will cleanse me from sin

Your desires will become my own

As I long to please you

Your promises are true

They will come to pass in me

Although I am empty 

You will fill me up

You are the one on whom I depend

Thank you for all you have already done

to change me

We are Servants

We are servants

God has given us power to do as He desires

According to our faith 

And the gifts He has given us

He is asking us now

To engage in His business 

Until the day He returns

Chorus

Make the most of your time

for the days are evil

Quickly passing by

Make the most of your time

for the days are evil

Be faithful in small or big

Make the most of your time

If we are His servants we 

ought to be engaged in His buisness

Seeking to please Him doing what He desires

He enables us to live as He did

Will we be faithful with the little He's given

that we faithful with much might be?

Chorus

Make the most of your time

for the days are evil

Quickly passing by

Make the most of your time

for the days are evil

Be faithful in small or big

Make the most of your time

The days are evil 

Quickly passing by

We must be faithful in each moment

Pursing Him our Precious Treasure

Continue in faith, steadfast

Growing in Love we will find

He will fulfill each promise

Even until the end

Yes - even until the end

Free to Live for You

You rescued me from darkest night

Brought me into your glorious light

I was once a slave to sin

Had no room to let you in

until the day I saw my need 

and then you made me free

So I can sing

I am free to do your will 

I am free to live for You

Lord I get to please You 

In all, I say and do 

You'll help me through 

Giving me grace

for whatever I may face

Now I can live for righteousness

Live with joy and faith such blessedness

Your life overflowing

Your radiance glowing

Chorus

Now I know that you've promised

Hardships, tests, trials, suffering

Yet I know nothing can separate

From Your love

You're making us

more than conquerors 

through You; Jesus Christ

Chorus

Thank you for each cross

Thank you for these sufferings

Thank you for all you're doing in my life

Lord be glorified. 

Your Servant

I'm your servant

Here I am 

I want to follow your command

I've said goodbye to this world

May it have no hold

I'm leaving it all behind

to follow the crucified

Chorus:

Lift up the cross

Let the sword fall on our soul

So living waters might flow

then His life will be 

filling our hearts abundantly

Changing us deep within

giving us power over sin

Oh to hear His voice

Above all distractions and noise

He reveals our hearts and our need

To surrender our way and let Him lead

There's no room for selfish ambition

No matter the condition

Let us live always to please Him

Even though the way might be dim

Bridge:

I'm your servant

Here I am

May I be a drink offering

poured out for you

May I be pleasing

in your sight

By your grace

You will help me through

Whatever I may face

Burnt Up

Will our lives be built with wood hay or straw?

At the end it will be made evident

If our life's work is burnt up 

Burnt up

Doing only what is relevant 

Enjoying our comforts

It'll be burnt up burnt up

Or will our lives be tried purified

Like gold refined 

Fiery trials temptations 

Hardships afflictions

Will our lives be purified? 

Pure Gold pure gold

Must go through the fire

Pure Gold pure gold 

Our lives must be radiant 

Reflecting the Lord our Lord

These things the world holds dear

Must have no hold no hold

For we are given not a spirit of fear

But of love and power to be bold 

Despite these fiery trials to come out Gold pure gold 

Sanctified set apart — pure gold

Will we live by God's Spirit 

Enduring the tests these trials

When He lives within us

His life will be abundant 

Or will we do many things 

Just to please ourselves n' others

Looking spiritual 

But in the end we'll be shown 

Our life's worth 

Will our lives be burnt up? 

Pure Gold can withstand the heat

Pure Gold

Pure Gold comes not from ourselves 

Pure Gold

True Gold is only what will endure the fire and come out 

pure gold 

only that which originates in God, 

is done in God’s power, 

for God’s glory,

 is eternal. 

All the rest will perish, 

being reduced to ashes 

By fire at judgment seat of Christ

Come Away

A seed was sown into thorny ground

It grew up until thorns choked its life out 

The worries of this world

Must be rooted out

Or all life will be gone 

Chorus:

Come away and be separate 

Touch no unclean thing

Live in reverence and  fear 

All done out of love for Him

Only the Father dear 

Should have His place in our hearts

For we desire to be close to Him

Jesus is calling out now

Come buy from me gold refined 

By fire true and tried 

Come buy from me He's calling

Clothes that you may wear

His righteousness alone

Our own is like dirty rags 

Come buy from me He's calling 

Salve for your eyes so you may see

A revelation from Him

We are blinded by this world

Chorus

I pray the eyes of our hearts 

Will be wide and open

So the ways of this world 

Will be evident within us

Take your sword, O Lord

Root them out

It may hurt, but in faith

We give these thorns 

These things world holds dear

we long to live in reverence in fear

To glorify your great name

Chorus

We trade these thorns for riches   

May we know the hope of your calling 

There is surpassing power 

For all those who believe .  

It's the same mighty power  

The power that rose Jesus from the dead

Raising Him above all rulers and authorities 

Seating Him at the Fathers right hand  

Now we can go to Him in faith

To have Him take this worldliness      

So His mighty power may live in us

Chorus:

He is Able to Save

When Jesus came to live on the earth

He offered up prayers 

He offered up petitions 

With loud crying and tears 

To the only One who can

Only to Him who saves from death

Chorus:
He is able to save completely 

Those who come to God through Him

He is always living now

To intercede 

He is Able to save

Jesus cries were heard because 

With reverence He Submitted

with fear to His Father

Although He was a son

He learned obedience from what he suffered 

Now made perfect He is

The way of eternal salvation

For all who obey 

He is mighty to save us 

          A victorious warrior           

There's no need to be 

discouraged 

He is merciful, loving, so faithful 

He will save us completely 

As we willingly come to Him

Walking in His light 

He shows us our hearts

Our failures  

To show us our need of Him

He is a victorious warrior, 

mighty to save

quietens us in His love

rejoices over us with singing 

2x
Chorus

A Chance to Die

Temptation comes our way

It's been a challenging day
Something appealing
At the moment it may seem right
There’s two paths
Which way should we go
The easy way or the narrow?

A chance to die
take our  cross
no matter the cost
that You might reign not us
Fill us to the uttermost
May You have all the glory

In the spur of the moment
when everything seems to go wrong
it’s easier to complain
than to give thanks and sing a song
But its His will  by His grace
He’ll help us through what’ver we may face

A chance to die
take our  cross
no matter the cost
that You might reign not us
Fill us to the uttermost
May You have all the glory

Disappointments or a loss
What does it matter
His ways are better
He’s ransomed us
Can’t we suffer one hour or two
He delights in us
He’s using this to conform us

Bridge:
Lord we long to live by your Spirit
Fill us up awaken our ears
Help us to hear 
we need your power to obey
Everything you say
Cleanse our hearts from sin
purify us from deep within 
Make us pure before you
For we long to know your ways
to be led by your Spirit 
Thank you oh Father may Your will be done

Encourage One Another

In the last days, men will be

Lovers of pleasure, lovers of self

Rather than lovers of God

Chorus:

So encourage one another

As the days draw near

Challenge one another

In Gods Holy Word

For sin is deceitful

Pray it won't captivate you

Chorus

In the last days, men will be

Divided against each other

Their love will grow cold

Daughter will be, divided against

Her own mother, son against his father

All men will seek their own

Chorus

In the last days, wickedness shall increase

Darkness shall be, throughout the whole land

Yet there will be, a remnant pure

Who will follow Christ as He lived

Loving as He loved

Serving as He served

Rivers of living water will flow

From their innermost beings

Trouble shall increase

Yet he who endures unto the end

Will be saved

Chorus

It is not enough to know it all

It is not enough to go to church

Knowing Christ, obeying Him, loving Him, fearing Him, laying down our lives, living like Christ

It is enough to know Him, to love Him, to fear Him, to lay down our lives for Him bearing fruit for His Name

Chorus

Lord teach me to, to know your ways

I want to love like you have loved us

I want to serve you, because I love you

Help me to, to surrender all

Because I love you, no other reason

((Purify our hearts

Show us your ways oh Lord

Make us more like you

In everything we say - and do 2x))

Fill us with your, Holy Spirit

Oh Lord, help us to love like you

This World is a Frozen Place

This world is a frozen place

Many don’t love here

They don’t know what true love is

They’re all just seeking their own

Hating arguing

They don’t know what they’re doing

Frozen eyes shut tight

They’re all caught under an enticing lie

I once was caught

Until the day that I cried

Chorus

Father open up my eyes

I need your love

God please show me your ways

Help me to be love

Dying to my own will

Taking up my cross

Following wherever you lead

God is love

But many don’t know this

Others refuse to believe

Doing whate’er they please

Making money having fun

Their eyes are frozen shut

They need to know what true love is

Chorus

We must show the world

What true love is

Denying our own will

Taking up our crosses

We must be different

Be a light in this dark world

Maybe they’ll want love

For they’ll know what true love is

Chorus
