Sing hallelujah
The sun’s breaking through
To take back the dark sky
And make everything new
We knew joy was coming
But we just had to wait
And now we sing hallelujah
‘Cause it’s a brand new day
So let’s sing hallelujah
The dark night is gone
Creation is singing
So come join in the song
The Father is calling
To come out and play
So we’ll sing hallelujah
‘Cause it’s a brand new day
Sing hallelujah
It’s a brand new, beautiful day
STEVEN:
Morning has broken, like the first morning
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning
Praise for them springing fresh from the word
CALEB:
Sweet the rain’s new fall, sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden
Sprung in completeness where His feet pass
STEVEN:
Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
Praise with elation, praise every morning
God’s re•creation of the new day
God’s re•creation of the new day
Morning has broken
Morning has broken
Morning has broken
Long before you drew your first breath
A dream was coming true
God wanted to give a gift to the world
So He wrapped it up in you
Every step that you’ve taken
Every move that you make
Is part of His plan
CHORUS:
You were meant to be touching the lives that you touch
And meant to be here making this world so much more
Than it would be without you in it
You were meant to be bringing the gifts that you bring
And singing the songs you’ve been given to sing
You are perfectly, wonderfully, beautifully meant to be
You were meant to be
Long before you took your first fall
And stumbled to the ground
God started telling the story of you
To the angels gathered around
Every failure and victory
And everything in between
It’s all in His hands
(Chorus)
You are, you are, you are meant to be
You are, you are, you are meant to be
For every breath that you’re taking
And every move that you make
It’s a meaningful life you’ve been given
So live it well
(Chorus)
Lord, You know how much
I want to know so much
In the way of answers and explanations
I have cried and prayed
And still I seem to stay
In the middle of life’s complications
All this pursuing leaves me feeling
Like I’m chasing down the wind
But now it’s brought me back to You
And I can see again
CHORUS:
This is everything I want
This is everything I need
I want this to be my one consuming passion
Everything my heart desires
Lord, I want it all to be for You
Jesus, be my magnificent obsession
Capture my heart again
Take me to depths I’ve never been
Into the riches of Your grace and Your mercy
Return me to the cross
And let me be completely lost
In the wonder of the love
That You’ve shown me
Cut through these chains that tie me down
To so many lesser things
Let all my dreams fall to the ground
Until this one remains
(Chorus)
You are everything I want
Lord, You are everything I need
You are all my heart desires
Lord, You are everything to me
(Choruses)
Nobody stood and applauded them
So they knew from the start
This road would not lead to fame
All they really knew for sure was Jesus had called to them
He said “Come follow me” and they came
With reckless abandon they came
Empty nets lying there at the waters edge
Told a story that few could believe and none could explain
How some crazy fishermen agreed to go where Jesus lead
With no thought for what they would gain
For Jesus had called them by name and they answered
CHORUS
We will abandon it all for the sake of the call
No other reason at all but the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to live and to die
For the sake of the call
Drawn like the rivers are drawn to the sea
No turning back for the water cannot help but flow
Once we hear the Savior’s call we’ll follow wherever he leads
Because of the love He has shown
And because he has called us to go we will answer
We will abandon it all for the sake of the call
No other reason at all but the sake of the call
Wholly devoted to live and to die
BRIDGE
Not for the sake of a creed or a cause
Not for a dream or a promise
Simply because it is Jesus who calls
And if we believe we’ll obey
CHORUS
Imagine this
I get a phone call from Regis – he says, “Do you want to be a millionaire?”
They put me on the show and I win with two lifelines to spare
Picture this
I act like nothing ever happened
And bury all the money in a coffee can
Well, I’ve been given more than Regis ever gave away
I was a dead man who was called to come out of my grave
I think it’s time for makin’ some noise
CHORUS:
Wake the neighbors, get the word out
Come on, crank up the music, climb a mountain and shout
This is life we’ve been given, made to be lived out
So, la, la, la, la, live out loud, you gotta live it out loud
Think about this
Try to keep a bird from singing after it’s soared up in the sky
Give the sun a cloudless day and tell it not to shine
Think about this
If we really have been given the gift of life that will never end
And if we have been filled with living hope, we’re gonna overflow
And if God’s love is burning in our hearts, well ya’ know we’re gonna glow
There’s just no way to keep it in
(Chorus)
Everybody
La, la, la…la, la, la…la, la, la, live out loud
Every corner of creation is a living declaration
Come join the song we were made to sing
Everybody sing
Every corner of creation is a living declaration
Come join the song we were made to sing
(Chorus)
Every corner of creation is a living declaration
Come join the song we were made to sing
Every corner of creation is a living declaration
Come join the song we were made to sing
I saw it again today in the face of a little child
Looking through eyes of fear and uncertainty
It echoed in a cry for freedom across the street and across the miles
Cries from the heart to find the missing part
Where is the hope, where is the peace
That will make this life complete?
For every man, woman, boy and girl
Looking for heaven in the real world
To stand in the pouring rain and believe the sun will shine again
To know that the grave is not the end
To feel the embrace of grace and cross the line where real life begins
And know in your heart you’ve found the missing part
And there is a hope, and there is a peace
That will make this life complete
For every man, woman, boy and girl
Looking for heaven in the real world
Looking for heaven in the real world
It happened one night with a tiny baby’s birth
God heard creation crying and He sent heaven to earth
He is the hope, and the peace
That will make this life complete
For every man, woman, boy and girl
Jesus is the hope, and the peace
That will make this life complete
For every man, woman, boy and girl
Jesus is heaven in the real world
Jesus is heaven in the real world
Yes He is
Jesus is heaven, He is heaven in the real world
Slowly drawn moths to the flame
We think we’re strong we think we’re anchored down
Then it comes, the hurricane
Down come the walls up come the foundations
We’ve been building on
And suddenly….we’ll see that
CHORUS:
All that’s left is to love
That’s all that we have
That’s all that we ever really had and
All that’s left is to love
That’s all that we have
That’s all that we’ll ever have
So let us look into each other’s eyes
And read the stories written there between the lines
And take the list of all the wrongs we keep
And tear it into pieces let mercy be the only thing we’re harboring
‘Cause eventually….we’re gonna see that
(Chorus)
This is why our hearts are beating
To love each other as we have been loved
Everything else is a fleeting shadow
But love endures all things, believes all things, and hopes all things
And love never ends
Love never ends
(Chorus)
All we really ever have
All we have in the end is love
Oh, the only the thing that matters is to love
This is the only lasting treasure
Love endures all things and believes all things and hopes all things
Love endures all things and believes all things and hopes all things
I set out on a great adventure
The day my Father started leading me home
Said theres gonna be mountians to climb
And valleys were gonna go through
But I had no way of knowing
Just how hard this journey could be
Cause the mountians are steeper
And the valleys are deeper than I ever would had dreamed
But I know were gonna make it
And I know were gonna get there soon
And I know sometimes it seems like, were going the wrong way
But its just the long way home
Some rocks on my shoes
Fears I wish I could lose
That make the mountians so hard to climb
And my heart gets so heavy with the weight of the world sometimes
There’s a bag of regrets,
Should’ve beens, and not yets
That keep on dragging around
And I can hardly wait till the day I get to lay them all down
I know that day is coming
I know its gonna be here soon
I won’t turn back even if the whole world says I’m going the wrong way
Cause its just the long way home
When we cant take another step
The Father will pick us up and carry us in His arms
And even on the best days, He says to remember were not home yet
So don’t get too comfortable
Cause we are just pilgrams passing through
I know that day is coming
I know were gonna be there soon
I keep on singing and believing
What all of my songs say
Cause our God has made a promise
And I know everything He says is true
He promised He would never ever leave us
He’s gonna lead us
He’ll lead us home
Every single step of the long way home
So keep on, were gonna make it
Were just taking the long way home
So keep on, were gonna make it
I know, were gonna make it
Its just the long way home
Your picking up toys on the living room floor for the fifteenth time today
Matching up socks
Sweeping up lost cheerios that got away
You put a baby on your hip
Color on your lips and head out the door
While I may not know you,
I bet I know you
Wonder sometimes, does it matter at all?
Well let me remind you, it all matters just as long
(CHORUS)
As you do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you,
Cause he made you,
To do
Every little thing that you do
To bring a smile to His face
Tell the story of grace
With every move that you make
And every little thing you do
(VERSE)
Maybe your that guy with the suit and tie
Maybe your shirt says your name
You may be hooking up mergers
Cooking up burgers
But at the end of the day
Little stuff
Big stuff
In between stuff
God sees it all the same
While I may not know you
I bet I know you
Wonder sometimes, does it matter at all?
Well let me remind you, it all matters just as long
As you do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you,
Cause he made you
To do
Every little thing that you do
To bring a smile to His face
Tell the story of grace
With every move that you make
And every thing you do
(BRIDGE)
Maybe your sitting in math class
Or maybe on a mission in the Congo
Or maybe your working at the office
Singing along with the radio
Maybe your a down and out rock star
Or feeding orphans in the Myanmar
Anywhere and everywhere that you are
Whatever you do
It all matters
So do what you do
Don’t ever forget
To do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you,
Cause He made you
To do
Every little thing that you do
To bring a smile to His face
And tell the story of grace
As you do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you,
Cause he made you
To do
Every little thing that you do
To bring a smile to His face
And tell the story of grace
With every move that you make
And every little thing you do
In every little thing you do
In every little thing you do
Today I watched in silence as people passed me by
And I strained to see if there was something hidden in their eyes
But they all looked back at me as if to say,
“Life just goes on…”
The old familiar story told in different ways
Make the most of your own journey from the cradle to the grave
Dream your dreams tomorrow because today
Life just go on
CHORUS:
But there’s more to this life than living and dying
More than just trying to make it through the day
More to this life, more than these eyes alone can see
And there’s more than this life alone can be
Tonight he lies in silence staring into space
And looks for ways to make tomorrow better than today
But in the morning light it looks the same
Life just goes on
He takes care of his family, he takes care of his work
And every Sunday morning he takes his place at the church
And somehow he still feels a need to search
But life just goes on, and on and on and on…
(Chorus)
So where do we start to find every part
Of what makes this life complete?
If we’ll turn our eyes to Jesus we’ll find
That life’s true beginning is there at the cross where He died
He died to bring us…
(Chorus)
