Newsboys Album

I found myself looking into the mirror
Knew I wasn't who I wanted to be
I was living life the way that I wanted
But my eyes reminded me I'm not free
Believed a lie so everything that I know
Says I gotta go, tired of going solo
But I'm never gonna go there again

This is what it is
This is who I am
This is where I finally take my stand
I didn't wanna fall
But I don't have to crawl
I met the one with two scarred hands
Giving Him the best of
Everything that's left of
The life inside this man
I've been born again

I see ya walking like you're living in fear
Having trouble even looking at me
Wishing they would give you more than words
Sick of people telling how it should be
What'd ya download? Where'd ya get your info?
You saw that I'm sure
Now you're in the in doe
Gonna tell you what I believe

This is what it is
This is who I am
This is where I finally take my stand
I didn't wanna fall
But I don't have to crawl
I met the one with two scarred hands
Giving Him the best of
Everything that's left of

All around the world
Every boy, every girl's got one shot
Believers let me hear you shout
Hey!
Hey!

You could find me
Living in the city of DC
Found my freedom in the rhythm of the backbeat
Got placed in love inside that I could not control
Beside me, had a brother saying I could sing like Nat King
But all I wanted was to do the rock thing
To roll through every town and spread His love around
Just a little while then I found

All around the world
Every boy, every girl's got one shot
To prove what they're all about
I'm gonna sing about my God
And it doesn't matter what's hot
Believers let me hear you shout
We say there's one way
When push comes to shove
We're gonna sing of His love

Things change
Just like the Twitter that you update
Or your Facebook status on your front page
But there's no comment you can leave to change my mind
Maybe you're a student at the college of the ivy
Or filling up a pop machine with Hi-C
Anywhere you might be
You can help the world see
What His love's about
Believers let me hear you shout

All around the world
Every boy, every girl's got one shot
To prove what they're all about
I'm gonna sing about my God
And it doesn't matter what's hot
Believers let me hear you shout
We say there's one way
When push comes to shove
We're gonna sing of His love

Are we scared to stand out from the crowd?
Make a difference in our own town?
If we stay silent with our voices now
The rocks will cry out
Believers let me hear you shout

All around the world
Every boy, every girl's got one shot
To prove what they're all about
I'm gonna sing about my God
And it doesn't matter what's hot
Believers let me hear you shout
We say there's one way
When push comes to shove
We're gonna sing of His love

All around the world
Every boy and girl
All around the world
Every boy and girl
All around the world...

I've been thinking it's about time
To win the war that fights against all the lies invading my mind
You have brought me to my senses
Even though You built this world to shake
You still love me in a personal way
So I think it's time to leave my doubt behind

There's so much more than meets the eye
Or what's going on inside
I believe in something way beyond myself
Like the wind that moves the leaves
Lord, You move me to my knees
I believe in something way beyond myself

Oh the way we build our empires hoping to impress our friends
We've forgotten how to inspire those who fall to rise again
Oh my God, You've built this world to shake
You still love me in a personal way
So I think it's time to leave my doubt behind

Storms are gonna come my way, I know
Some things are out of our control but there's a hope beyond myself
It's You and You will never let me go
Now I want my life to show You got me thinking beyond myself
Way beyond myself

There's so much more than meets the eye
Or what's going on inside
I believe in something way beyond myself
Like the wind that moves the leaves
Lord, You move me to my knees
I believe in something way beyond myself

I can't see myself without You
With You I get strength to do things I've never ever dreamt in a million years
I'm unstoppable 'cause You're here with me
Unbelievable how I can believe how powerful You've caused me to be, yeah

See only You got me flying with eagles, walking on water
With You I can do the impossible
Jump over mountains with one single bound
I've found out I can do the impossible
Do the impossible

No other soul could have saved me
I feel You in every heartbeat
You're incredible, invincible - so easy to see You've strengthened me
I'm out of this world, oh yeah, now that I'm with You
I'm unbreakable, there ain't no way I can lose

See only You got me flying with eagles, walking on water
With You I can do the impossible
Jump over mountains with one single bound
I've found out I can do the impossible
Do the impossible

'Cause heaven is at the end of this road
Me and You, now I know I'm not alone
You're pierced in my heart, You're not just in my head
This is what makes You the best

See only You got me flying with eagles, walking on water
With You I can do the impossible
Jump over mountains with one single bound
I've found out I can do the impossible
Do the impossible

No other soul could have saved me
I feel You in every heartbeat

When the boys light up, light up
When the boys light up, light up
When the boys light up, light up

Back and forth like a daytime drama
Up and down like a yo-yo mama
Say there's gonna be days like this
Cause light and dark don't coexist

How ya gonna see through this fog
How ya gonna get back on course
Ya ain't never gonna feel the force
If ya don't connect to a power source
Cause ya been swappin out day for night
But ya see a lamp light burnin bright
If ya get your flip-flops off the porch
We're passin you the torch

When the boys light up, ya know
Who gets the praise who owns the show
When the boys light up, it's on
We ain't stopping till we're done
We ain't nothin but the conduits
He's got the power, He'll flip the switch
Leaving the dark behind
Light up and let it shine

When the boys light up, light up
When the boys light up, light up

I was feelin all overcome
Had a faith gone dim and then some
Gotta call from a band of brothers
Turn the mic on, flash the Nikons
All the doubters, I heard ‘em say,
Now the band's gonna fade away
But the boys are back for a second act
No excuses, we're lightin fuses
You're in the dawn of your finest hour
So get wired to the highest power
If you're down pick any sight
Get ready to ignite

When the boys light up, ya know
Who gets the praise who owns the show
When the boys light up, it's on
We ain't stoppin till we're done
If we ain't nothin but the conduits
He's got the power, He'll flip the switch
Leavin the dark behind
Light up and let it shine

When we walk in His footsteps
It's a brighter day
When we follow His word
He lights the way
When we lift up His banner
and raise it high
We light up the sky


When the boys light up, light up
When the boys light up, light up

When the boys light up, ya know
Who gets the praise who owns the show
When the boys light up, it's on
We ain't stoppin till we're done
We ain't nothin but the conduits
He's got the power, He'll flip the switch
Leaving the dark behind

When the boys light up, ya know
Who gets the praise who owns the show
When the boys light up, it's on
We ain't stopping till we're done
We ain't nothing but the conduits
He's got the power, He'll flip the switch
Leaving the dark behind
Light up and let it shine

We've been crumbled, we've been crushed
City walls have turned to dust
Broken hands and blistered feet
We walk for miles to find relief

When the thief takes, when our hopes cave
You build us back
You build us back
When the earth shakes, when the world breaks
You build us back
You build us back

We are scared, we are poor
All our safety nets are torn
We've been humbled to our knees
From these ruins, we believe

Redeemer, redeem us
Restorer, restore us
Oh build us back
Though the mountains be shaken, the hills be removed
Your unfailing love remains
After all that's been taken, Your promise, still sacred
You build us back with precious stones

You're being tempted by the same ol', you say it's under control
Just remind me how you see so clearly face down in a hole
Press toward the light and the light will ground you
Go with the flow and the flow will drown you
Hey now, there's always an out

But if you get up, get up, get up
You can breakaway
And if you get out, get out, get out
Nothing can overtake
Don't wait… escape

We get beaten by the same sticks until we start to crack
We get deceived by the same tricks
That's why the devil's bringing ‘em back
(He's bringing ‘em back)

Don't believe the hype
It's such a letdown

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

There's something that's missing if we can't recognize that our own existence
Is the miracle before our eyes

Somebody told me about a place
Oh I can it
But I've got to change my ways
Day after day it's the same old thing
I keep repeating, the reason I stay this way

I know what I have to do
Get back to what I know is true

When everything is broken,
There's a door wide open
You'll find me running through
More than just emotion
My broken heart has chosen,
Jesus I'm running to You
I'm running to You

I'm running, running to you
I'm running, running to you

I can see the tear on your face
You feel defeated
Wondering what are you living for
Selfish dreams left you time and time
Empty-handed
There's got to be something more
You know what you have to do
Get back to Who you know is true

You're the only one
Who can fix what I've become
Oh God, I believe in your love

When everything is broken,
There's a door wide open
You'll find me running to You
More than just emotion
My broken heart has chosen,
Jesus I'm running to You

Lately she's been thinking what her daddy said
How when you're winning, you got more friends
But are they your friends if you fall they're gone
Something about those kind of people seems wrong
Who's gonna be there when the phone call knocks her down?
All of the steeples but she can't hear a bell sound
Jumps on a bus to head downtown
And picks up a paper that's been blowing around
It says..

When your heart breaks
He'll hurt for you
Dreams are out of reach
He'll pull you through
When you lose hope
All you gotta do
Is get on your knees again
Not long now and you're gonna see
No mountain's too high for you or for me
Or fall too far if you can believe
And get on your knees
On your knees again

She pulls up her paper and puts in her bag
Knows she really needs a savior like that
Walkin past her church just up the street
Says "maybe it's time to get on my knees"
Cause He was there when no one was around
All of the people but no one made a sound
Thinks of her brother who's been feelin down
Pulls out her paper and reads it aloud..

When your heart breaks
He'll hurt for you
Dreams are out of reach
He'll pull you through
When you lose hope
All you gotta do
Is get on your knees again
Not long now and you're gonna see
No mountain's too high for you or for me
Or fall too far if you can believe
And get on your knees
On your knees again

Givin everything you've got
Still it's hard to believe
Love comes from the inside out
If you wanna be free
Gotta give your life and never stop
When you're thinkin about givin up
Get on your knees

When your heart breaks
He'll hurt for you
Dreams are out of reach
He'll pull you through
When you lose hope
All you gotta do
Is get on your knees again
Not long now and you're gonna see
No mountain's too high for you or for me
Or fall too far if you can believe
And get on your knees
On your knees again

When you've givin everything you've got
Gotta give your life and never stop
If you wanna be free
On your knees again

(Hillsong cover)

Shine your light and let the whole world see
Shine your light and let the whole world see

Everyone needs compassion, love that's never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness, the kindness of a saviour
The hope of nations

Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever, author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
Shine your light and let the whole world see
Shine your light and let the whole world see

So take me as you find me - all my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow everything I believe in
Now I surrender

We're singing shine your light and let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory of the risen King

Saviour, He can move the mountains
My God is mighty to save
He is mighty to save
Forever, author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave

We're singing shine your light and let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory of the risen king

My Saviour, You can move the mountains
You are mighty to save
You are mighty to save
Forever, author of salvation
You rose and conquered the grave
Oh You conquered the grave

Shine your light and let the whole world see
We're singing for the glory of the risen King

(DC Talk cover)

Separated, I cut myself clean from a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams
Been apprehended by a spiritual force and a grace that replaced all the me I divorced
I saw a man with a tat on his big fat belly
It wiggled around like marmalade jelly
It took me a while to catch what it said, 'cause I had to match the rhythm of his belly with my head
"Jesus Saves" is what it raved in a typical tattoo green
He stood on a box in the middle of the city and he claimed he had a dream...

What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus freak?
What will people do when they find that it's true?
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak - there ain't no disguising the truth
There ain't no disguising the truth
No I ain't into hiding the Truth

Kamikaze, my death is gain - I've been marked by my Maker, a peculiar display
The high and lofty, they see me as weak - but I won't live and die for the power they seek
There was a man from the desert with naps in his head
The sand that he walked was also his bed
The words that he spoke make the people assume there wasn't too much left in the upper room
With skins on his back and hair on his face, they thought he was strange from the locusts he ate
All the Pharisees tripped when they heard him speak until the king took the head of this Jesus freak

What will people think when they hear that I'm a Jesus freak?
What will people do when they find that it's true?
I don't really care if they label me a Jesus freak - there ain't no disguising the truth
No I ain't into hiding the Truth

People say I'm strange, does it make me a stranger that my best friend was born in a manger?

What will people think (what will people think?)
What will people do (what will people do?)
I don't really care (what else can I say?)
There ain't no disguising the Truth (Jesus is the Way)

[No lyrics]

If you're sinking
If you're losing control
And your heartache has taken it's toll
Thinking things you've never thought before
Like you're all alone
Afraid that love won't come home

You will find me
I’m at the point of your breaking
Behind all the noise
When your world is
Darkest I can still see
Cause when there's nothing left
I'll be

I'll be

Like a small town
Talk is getting around
Now that you've found
A friend can still bring you down

And when their faith in you comes crashing down
Know that I'm still yours
I'll be the hope that endures

You will find me
I’m at the point of your breaking
Behind all the noise
When your world is
Darkest I can still see
Cause when there's nothing left
I'll be

I'll be the light to help you find
All the dreams you left behind
Wondering will love come back
I'll be whispering you're still mine
When loneliness invades your mind

And if I sing out in the dark of night
Or praise You in the light of dawn
Hear my song and lift me on Your wings
And if I worship You in solitude
Or join a choir 10,000 strong
Hear my song ‘til all creation sings

Chorus
Glorious, shining so glorious
Though I stumble, though I fall
You remain glorious.
Towards Your light
I come running, I come running
Into Your arms
I come running, I come running.

You have searched me
You have known my heart
You’ve heard my every anxious thought
Hear my song, it’s all I have to bring
And though the battles come
This much is known:
The victory’s won by You alone
Hear my song, my Savior and my King

Singing
Repeat chorus

Every faithless mission
Every false ambition
Here, I lay them at Your feet
As in heaven, as on earth
I will ever sing Your worth
You alone make me complete

Repeat chorus 2 times

Towards Your light
I come running, I come running
Into Your arms
I come running, I come running.
