God of the break and shatter
Hearts in every form still matter
In our weakness help us see
That alone we'll never be
Lifting any burdens off our shoulders

If our days could be filled with small rebellions
Senseless, brutal acts of kindness from us all
If we stand between the fear and firm foundation
Push against the current and the fall
The current and the fall

God of the warn and tattered
All of Your people matter
Give us more than words to speak
Cause we are hearts and arms that reach
And love climbs up and down the human ladder

Give us days to be filled with small rebellions
Senseless, brutal acts of kindness from us all
If we stand between the fear and firm foundation
Push against the current and the fall
The current and the fall

The fall

We will never walk alone again
No, we will never walk alone again
No, we will never walk alone again

Give us days to be filled with small rebellions
Senseless, brutal acts of kindness from us all
If we stand between the fear and firm foundation
Push against the current and the fall
Give us days to be filled with small rebellions
Senseless, brutal acts of kindness from us all
If we stand between the fear and firm foundation
Push against the current and the fall
The current and the fall

The fall...

I'll go when you call me
I run when you tell me where to go
We are desert walkers under shady clouds
Your fire shows there's more of you to know

Let our idols fail
Vanity subside
We will see the beauty in our lives
When I hear you call my name
When I hear you call my name
Send me to the edge of the earth
Show me what a life is worth
When I hear you call my name

I will wait in the darkest hour
For you will be a light on this road
Lead me out to the ground I've never walked on
Only to rely on you alone

Let our idols fail
Vanity subside
We will see the beauty in our lives
When I hear you call my name
When I hear you call my name
Send me to the edge of the earth
Show me what a life is worth
When I hear you call my name
When I hear you call my name

This is my Father's world
And to my listening ear
My heart is still at home
When I hear you call my name

When I hear you call my name
When I hear you call my name
When I hear you call my name
When I hear you call my name
When I hear you call my name
When I hear you call my name
When I hear you call my name
When I hear you call my name

. . .


In the shadow of the cross where my first love died
In the valley where we learn how to climb so high
Will you open my heart and reach inside
Till the blood on your hands is yours, not mine
Set us free, trust the mystery
Till our eyes are clear enough to see you

Where you lead us, we will follow
Where you lead us, we will follow you

On the hill of the rich in city of the poor
Where the wealth is in the hands of who needs you more
'Cause there's nothing in our view you haven't made
No one that you've touched that you haven't saved
So set us free to love the mystery
Till our eyes are clear enough to see you

Where you lead us, we will follow
Where you lead us, we will follow
Where you lead us, we will follow you

Open up our hearts and reach inside
Open up our hearts and reach inside

Where you lead us, we will follow
Where you lead us, we will follow
Where you lead us, we will follow
Where you lead us, we will follow (open our hearts and reach inside)
Where you lead us, we will follow (open our hearts and reach inside)
Where you lead us, we will follow (open our hearts and reach inside)
Where you lead us, we will follow (open our hearts and reach inside)
Where you lead us, we will follow (open our hearts and reach inside)
Where you lead us, we will follow (open our hearts)

Talk to me, 'cause I've been talking to myself
Help me get these thoughts out of my own head
I don't believe, most days I don't believe
Mercy is true, it's hard to live with the things I do

So God, bruise the heels we've dug in the ground
That we might move closer to love
Pull out the roots we've dug in so deep
Finish what you started
Help us to believe
Keep our eyes wide open (love is kind and love is daring, everything we need to keep our eyes)
Keep our eyes wide open (love is kind and love is daring, everything we need to keep our eyes)

We can't go on, it seems this conversation's done
It's so hard to win these fights and love you at the same time
So take my hand till grace makes her way to bend
Till the things I've set to ruin only lead to my own end

So God, bruise the heels we've dug in the ground
That we might move closer to love
Pull out the roots we've dug in so deep
Finish what you started
Help us to believe
Keep our eyes wide open (love is kind and love is daring, everything we need to keep our eyes)
Keep our eyes wide open (love is kind and love is daring, everything we need to keep our eyes)
Keep our eyes wide open (love is kind and love is daring, everything we need to keep our eyes)
Keep our eyes wide open (love is kind and love is daring, everything we need to keep our eyes)

Draw us in, send us out
Draw us in, send us out
Draw us in, pour us out
Help us to believe

Keep our eyes wide open (love is kind and love is daring, everything we need to keep our eyes)
Keep our eyes wide open (love is kind and love is daring, everything we need to keep our eyes)
Keep our eyes wide open (love is kind and love is daring, everything we need to keep our eyes)
Keep our eyes wide open
Help us to believe

. . .


To all who are looking down
Holding onto hearts still wounding
For those who've yet to find it
The places near where love is moving
Cast off the robes you're wearing
Set aside the names that you've been given
May this place of rest in the fold of your journey
Bind you to hope, you will never walk alone

In the shelter of each other, we will live, we will live (Never walk alone)
In the shelter of each other, we will live, we will live (Your arms are all around us)

If our hearts turned to stone
There is hope, we know the rocks will cry out
And the tears aren't ours alone
Let them fall into the hands that hold us
Come away from where you're hiding
Set aside the lies that you've been living
May this place of rest in the fold of your journey
Bind you to hope that we will never walk alone

In the shelter of each other, we will live, we will live (In the shelter)
In the shelter of each other, we will live, we will live (You will never walk alone)
In the shelter of each other, we will live, we will live (In Your arms are all around us)
In the shelter of each other, we will live, we will live (In Your arms are all around us)

If there is any peace, if there is any hope
We must all believe, our lives are not our own
We all belong
God has given us each other
And we will never walk alone

In the shelter of each other, we will live, we will live (We will never walk alone)
In the shelter of each other, we will live, we will live (In the shelter)

In the shelter of each other, we will live, we will live (Your arms are all around us)
In the shelter of each other, we will live, we will live (In your arms are all around us)

In the shelter of each other, we will live, we will live (In your arms are all around us)
In the shelter of each other, we will live, we will live (In your arms are all around us)

In the shelter of each other, we will live, we will live
In the shelter of each other, we will never walk alone, never walk alone

I wasted the rescue
Abandoned the mission
I failed by my own hand
And watched it all go wrong
You said You could save me
That I couldn't save myself
You said that You loved me
No matter what I've done

When the light is gone
And life is just a dare we take
Still the fight goes on
To give my heart away

And it's out of my hands
It was from the start
In light of what You've done for me
In light of what You've done for me
You lifted my head
Set me apart
In light of what You've done for me
This is what You've done for me
It's out of my hands

You grow where the light is
Like trees in the highlands
We're bent by our own plans
To keep us in the dark
And I act like an orphan
Forget that You found me
But You came like a whisper
And saved me with a spark

When the light is gone
And life is just a dare we take
Still the fight goes on and on
To give my heart away

And it's out of my hands
It was from the start
In light of what You've done for me
In light of what You've done for me
You lifted my head
Set me apart
In light of what You've done for me
This is what You've done for me
It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands

There's nothing in the world that I can offer
Nothing in the world that I can stand apart
Apart from You, apart from You
There's nothing in my life,
Nothing in my life that You haven't given to me

It's out of my hands
It was from the start
In light of what You've done
In light of what You've done
You lifted my head
You set me apart
In light of what You've done
In light of what You've done for me

Oh, it's out of my hand
It's out of my hands
In light of what You've done for me
In light of what You've done for me
You lifted my head,
Set me apart
In light of what You've done for me
This is what You've done for me

It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
Everything I have, Lord
Everything I gave
It's out of my hands
It's out of my hands
Oh, it's out of my hands

. . .


Is life in vain
Are we ghosts rattling chains
When we get what we want
Are the problems still the same
'Cause my hands can't heal
While I'm holding on so tight
And my heart won't care enough
To pick a better fight

Show me the beauty of a life
Show me the beauty of a life
Show me the beauty of a life

No greater love
No greater love
And you say, there's no greater love

Is it still my turn
I think I'm the last one left to learn
That the life I lose
Is the least of my concerns

Show me the beauty of a life
Show me the beauty of a life
Show me the beauty of a life

No greater love
No greater love
And you say, there's no greater love

No greater love
No greater love
And you say, there's no greater love

So show me the beauty of a life
Show me the beauty of a life
Show me the beauty of a life
Laid down

Show me the beauty of a life
Laid down, laid down
Show me the beauty of a life

No greater love
No greater love
And you say, there's no greater love

No greater love
No greater love
And you say, there's no greater love

So show me the beauty of a life
Show me the beauty of a life
Show me the beauty of a life
Laid down

. . .


I know who I am
Once I was nameless, alone and you found me
You formed my knees to bend
You called me Beloved, I am perfection

All my failures won't condemn me
Or leave me paralyzed and bound
When I'm at my worst
Your Love, it finds me first

By you, I can run in the night
For by you, I can run in the night

For I am such a man
Seized by the power of a great perfection
No matter where I am
Peace spreads below me in every direction

When evil sets the war upon me
I won't stumble, I won't fall
Though they do their worst
Your love has found me first

For by you, I can run in the night
For by you, I can run in the night
For by you, I can run in the night

Hide me in the shelter of
Keep me in the cover of
Lead me in the light of your love
Hide me in the light of your love

For by you, I can run in the night
For by you, I can run in the night (No matter where I am)
For by you, I can run in the night
For by you, I can run in the night
For by you, I can run in the night
For by you, I can run in the night
For by you, I can run in the night
For by you, I can run in the night (Whom shall I fear)
For by you, I can run in the night (Whom shall I fear)
For by you, I can run in the night (Lead me in the light)
For by you, I can run in the night (No matter where I am)
For by you, I can run in the night (Lead me in the light)
For by you, I can run in the night (Lead me in the light)
For by you, I can run in the night

Oh, we'll never be short on people
And we'll never be short on trouble
It's a well-worn path, so how on earth can we feel alone

Why carry on our own what's coming to all men
Why drag your bag of bones to hell and back again
Why carry on our own what's coming to all men
Look around, lay it down

Oh, we'll never be short on good news
And somebody to tell our story to
And we'll never be short on redemption
And light for the dark

Why carry on our own what's coming to all men
Why drag your bag of bones to hell and back again
Why carry on our own what's coming to all men
Look around, lay it down

Why carry on our own what's coming to all men
Look around

Why carry on our own what's coming to all men
Why drag your bag of bones to hell and back again
Why carry on our own what's coming to all men
Look around, lay it down
Look around, lay it down

. . .


Child of all creation, don't let the world define you
And if you can't remember who you are
Let these words remind you

On the path of the empty-handed
He will speak to the heart of the abandoned

These orphan hearts will find a home
Run to these arms, be not alone
Light is leading, love will find us all
Love will find us all

So hard to feel the fires of home when all we see is darkness
We forget we're not our own and grasp for what's around us

Till the dawn starts to break around you
Let all the stars in the night remind you

These orphan hearts will find a home
Run to these arms, be not alone
Light is leading, love will find us all
Love will find us all

These orphan hearts will find a home
Run to these arms, be not alone
Light is leading, love will find us

These orphan hearts will find a home
Run to these arms, be not alone
Light is leading, love will find us all
Love will find us all

Run to these arms, be not alone
Run to these arms, be not alone
Run to these arms, be not alone
Run to these arms, be not alone

Love will find us all
Love will find us all
Love will find us all (Run to these arms, be not alone)
Love will find us all (Run to these arms, be not alone)
Love will find us all
Love will find us all
