All the world is a story
All the world is a stage
All the world is a canvas
All the world is a page
All the world is a horizon
All the world is a field of dreams
All the world is an open doorway
All the world is a place for me
(Rit.)
To be Your voice
To be Your touch
To give an answer
To show Your love
To hold out hope
To offer peace
To shine Your light for everyone to see
In all the world
All the world is a someone
All the world is a dance
All the world is a moment
All the world is a chance
(Rit)
You are amazing mercy
You are undying grace
I want the world to see how wonderful You are
Upon my face
(Rit)

For even the most trusting soul
This world can be a scary place
So much that we can't control
In every moment that we face
When a thousand what ifs
Whisper in our ears
We remember who's we are
And watch them disappear
I wanna live with a fearless heart
Courage that's coming from trust in God
It's constantly guiding me though the road may seem dark
I wanna live, wanna live with a fearless heart
There are worries chasing everyone
It's evident in times like these
But I have found the confidence that comes
From time I spend on my knees
There's a truth I'm holding onto
As these days unfold
Greater is He, God is in you
And hear it in the world
I wanna live with a fearless heart
Courage that's coming from trust in God
It's constantly guiding me though the road may seem dark
I wanna live, wanna live with a fearless heart
He's my strength, He's my shelter
He is with me all the way
He's my light and my salvation
Of whom shall I be afraid, of whom shall I be afraid?
I wanna live with a fearless heart
Courage that's coming from trust in God
It's constantly guiding me though the road may seem dark, yeah
I wanna live with a fearless heart
Courage that's coming from trust in God
It's constantly guiding me though the road is dark
I wanna live, wanna live with a fearless heart
With a fearless heart, with a fearless heart
With a fearless heart

[Verse 1:]
Wake up to the sunlight with your windows open
Don't hold in your anger or leave things unspoken
Wear your red dress
Use your good dishes
Make a big mess and make lots of wishes
Have what you want but want what you have
Hmmmmm
And don't spend your life lookin back
[Chorus:]
Turn up the music
Turn it up loud
Take a few chances
And let it all out
Cause you won't regret it
Lookin back from where you have been
Cause it's not who you knew
And it's not what you did
It's how you lived
[Verse 2:]
So go to the ball game
And go to the ballet
Go see your folks more than just on the holidays
Kiss all your children
Dance with your wife
Tell your husband you love him every night
Don't run from the truth cause you can't get away
Oh No...
Just face it and you'll be okay
[Chorus]
[Bridge:]
Ohhhhh
Wherever you are and wherever you been
Now is the time to begin
[Verse 3:]
To give to the needy
And pray for the grieving
Even when you don't think that you can
Cause all that you do is bound to come back to
You
So think of your fellow men
Make peace with God but make peace with yourself
Cause in the end there's nobody else
[Chorus]
Cause it's not who you knew and it's not what
You did
It's how you lived
. . .

Setting out, what a child, my steps ahead of my mind
Not a doubt till You knocked me off my paradigm
Simple me, only trying to see You in the stained glass
I walked right past the unexpected
Anyway You wanna show me all Your glory
Anywhere You choose to speak, tell Your story
In the low or lofty places strangers faces
Anywhere, any way
Doubt that I would have found You there in Bethlehem
No surprise, You changed the world through fishermen
Good to know You would go so far to finally get through
That's just like You and so unlike me
Anyway You wanna show me all Your glory
Anywhere You choose to speak, tell Your story
In the low or lofty places strangers faces
Anywhere, any way
In the alley, on the rooftop
At the end of a rocky road, You don't stop
On a mountain, in a rainstorm
In the eyes of a mother with her newborn
In the back pew, at the Altar
At the well where You gave the woman water
In the chaos, in the holy, in the darkness
Anywhere a heart beats, anywhere a heart beats
Anyway You wanna show me all Your glory
Anywhere You choose to speak, tell Your story
In the low or lofty places strangers faces
Anywhere, any way
Anyway You wanna show me all Your glory
Anywhere You choose to speak, tell Your story
In the low or lofty places strangers faces
Anywhere, any way, any way
. . .

You're not hearing the answers
You've been praying for
You try and try
Can't find an open door
You're not seeing the miracles
Not a one in sight
And the way you feel
You sure need one tonight
Your faith is crumbling
Your feet are stumbling
It's so hard to believe in Him
But He believes in you
When you're at your weakest
And hope's still burning through the night
But you can't see it
You know in your heart He loves you
But at those moments when you can't believe it's true
He believes in you
Chin deep in the water
You tried walking on
And you reach for Him
And you think He's gone
He's still there beside you
With His stubborn love
No He never left
And He won't give up
He will protect you
Until you're rescued
Oh there's nothing that He can't do
'Cause He believes in you
When you're at your weakest
And hope's still burning through the night
But you can't see it
You know in your heart He loves you
But at those moments when you can't believe it's true
He believes in you
You know in your heart He loves you
But at those moments when you can't believe it's true
He believes in you
. . .

When the sun starts to rise and I open my eyes, you are good, so good
In the heat of the day with each stone that I lay, you are so good
With every breath I take in, I’ll tell you I’m grateful again
When the moon rises high before each kiss goodnight, you are good
When the road starts to turn, around each bend I’ve learned you are good, so good
And when somebody’s hand holds me up, helps me stand you are so good
With every breath I take in, I’ll tell you I’m grateful again
Cause it’s more than enough just to know I am loved and you are good
SO HOW CAN I THANK YOU? WHAT CAN I BRING?
WHAT CAN A POOR MAN LAY AT THE FEET OF THE KING?
SO I’LL SING YOU A LOVE SONG, IT’S ALL THAT I HAVE
TO TELL YOU I’M GRATEFUL FOR HOLDING MY LIFE IN YOUR HANDS
When it’s dark and it’s cold, and I can’t feel my soul you are still good
When the world has gone gray and the rain’s here to stay you are still good
With every breath I take in, I’ll tell you I’m grateful again
And the storm may swell, even then it is well, and you are good
CHORUS
SO I’LL SING YOU A LOVE SONG, IT’S ALL THAT I HAVE
TO TELL YOU I’M GRATEFUL FOR HOLDING MY LIFE IN YOUR HANDS
You are holding my life in your hands.

How clever is my pride
How it deceives my mind
To think I'm in control
When I've really lost it all
How brilliant is my greed
For what it says I need
And then I've come to find I'm empty on the inside
Real
My heart is aching to be
Real
So I'm coming to you
With all of my broken motives
All of my selfish dreams
All of my foolishness
Now I understand where it leads
I want to be in Your love
I want to be so much more
I know You're *reaching* out
So what am I fighting You for
What am I fighting You for
How quick is my doubt
To leave my heart without
The presence of Your peace
So that I scarce believe
How battered is my guilt
To crush the life You've built
To keep me far away from any kind of change
Real
My heart is aching to be
Real
So I'm coming to you
With all of my broken motives
All of my selfish dreams
All of my foolishness
Now I understand where it leads
I want to be in Your love
I want to be so much more
I know You're reaching out
So what am I fighting You for
What am I fighting You for
'Cause only You can save me
And only You can change me
And only You can love me
Here I come, Here I come
So I come to You
With all of my broken motives
All of my selfish dreams
All of my foolishness
Now I understand what it means
I want to be in Your love
I want to be so much more
I know You're reaching out
So what am I fighting You for
What am I fighting You for
With all of my broken motives
All of my selfish dreams
All of my foolishness
Now I understand where it leads
I want to be in Your love
I want to be so much more
I know You're reaching out
I don't want to fight anymore
I don't want to fight

On God's green earth the ocean swims in brilliant blues
The yellow sun warms me and you
'Til it's chased by an iridescent moon
On God's green earth
On God's green earth the mountains climb with purple haze
Against a sky of stormy grays
There are ebony nights and silver days
On God's green earth
We live, we laugh and love and dance
'Cause God makes all things beautiful and perfect in His hands
We rise from the ashes of our past
'Cause we've learned the truth at last
Love is not blind
Every color shines
On God's green earth
On God's green earth...if eery color was the same
And every child had just one name
There'd be no beauty for each of us to claim
On God's green earth
We see the scars of yesterday
Of wars that we cannot erase
But we can walk hand in hand in healing grace
On God's green earth
We live, we laugh and love and dance
'Cause God makes all things beautiful and perfect in His hands
We rise from the ashes of our past
'Cause we've learned the truth at last
Love is not blind
Every color shines
On God's green earth
(bridge)
What if only rivers raged and hatred melted all away?
We can live in peace today!
On God's green earth
We live, we laugh and love and dance
'Cause God makes all things beautiful and perfect in His hands
We live, we laugh and love and dance
'Cause God makes all things beautiful and perfect in His hands
We rise from the ashes of our past
'Cause we've learned the truth at last
Love is not blind
Every color shines
On God's green earth

I used to wish that I could rewrite history
I used to dream that each mistake could be erased
Then I could just pretend
I never knew me back then
I used to pray that You would take this shame away
Hide all the evidence of who I've been
But it's the memory of
The place You brought me from
That keeps me on my knees
And even though I'm free
Heal the wound but leave the scar
A reminder of how merciful You are
I am broken, torn apart
Take the pieces of this heart
And heal the wound but leave the scar
I have not lived a life that boasts of anything
I don't take pride in what I bring
But I'll build an altar with
The rubble that You've found me in
And every stone will sing
Of what You can redeem
Heal the wound but leave the scar
A reminder of how merciful You are
I am broken, torn apart
Take the pieces of this heart
And heal the wound but leave the scar
Don't let me forget
Everything You've done for me
Don't let me forget
The beauty in the suffering
Heal the wound but leave the scar
A reminder of how merciful You are
I am broken, torn apart
Take the pieces of this heart
And heal the wound but leave the scar
. . .

I tried to walk quickly past the water's edge
Didn't wanna see my own reflection
But I just stepped off the highest ledge
And fell into the sea of imperfection
Just like every other time before
I washed up in pieces on the shore
You found beauty in this broken thing
Made angels dance with wounded wings
I can't imagine anything more beautiful
You took the damaged part of me
Restored what little dignity was left inside
This broken thing
Yeah I was wading in deep despair
Wandering with no sense of direction
Thinking prayers just vanished in the air
'Cause I got myself in this situation
And just like every other time before
You made the pieces into so much more
I know I'm not worthy of
This never ending perfect love
. . .

Infinite beauty, humbly and faint
In a mortal and breakable body You came
To rescue our souls from the debts they were in
Because of, in spite of, to cover my sins
Master and servant together in one
Come to redeem what our hearts had undone
Saviour of all, come to gather his kin
Because of, in spite of, to cover my sins
Holy, unbreakable, infinite God
Ever unchanging in all that You are
Light of the world and the sun and the stars
You are I am and I am because You are
Shepherd and pastured a wandering sheep
Gave up His life so our own we could keep
Soldier in battle for souls He might win
Because of, in spite of, to cover my sins
Holy, unbreakable, infinite God
Ever unchanging in all that You are
Light of the world and the sun and the stars
You are I am and I am because You are
Humbly forsaking His heavenly seat
Beaten, bloodied and washing my feet
Opened our eyes to what loving it means
The blood on my hands is what washes me clean
Holy, unbreakable, infinite God
Ever unchanging in all that You are
Light of the world and the sun and the stars
You are I am and I am because You are
Holy, unbreakable, infinite God
Ever unchanging in all that You are
Light of the world and the sun and the stars
You are I am and I am
You are I am and I am because You are
. . .

Before the throne of grace I come
Humble and repentant one
With sorrow for the deeds I've done
Before the throne of grace I come
Before the throne of grace I fall
With a trembling voice I call
For pardon from the Lord of all
Before the throne of grace I fall
I love the Lamb Who took my sin
Whose Mercy makes me clean again
Before the throne of grace I hear
Your debt is paid your name is clear
Such precious words of life so dear
Before the throne of grace I hear
I love the Lamb Who took my sin
Whose Mercy makes me clean again
I rise with words of grateful praise
Knowing now the only way
Before the throne of grace I stand
Is all because the Son of Man
Bears my wounds in His Feet and Hands
So before the throne of grace I stand
Before the throne of grace I stand
Before the throne of grace I stand
. . .
