I want to be ready
When the Son Almighty comes
To lay claim to Him
And Him, alone
I want to be ready
To stand at His side
For His eyes to gaze upon me
In His glory and might

I want to be ready
I want to be ready
I want to be ready
For Him and Him, alone
I want to be

I want to be ready
To cry out His name
To lay up in His arms
Delight in His fame
I want to be ready
To be embraced by His love
Before Thee Almighty
To take me up above

I want to be ready
I want to be ready
I want to be ready
For Him and Him alone
I want to be ready
I want to be ready
I want to be ready

To gaze upon Your throne
To give You all I own
O My King
To fall upon my knees
To give You all the glory

I want to be ready
I want to be ready
I want to be ready
For You alone
I want to be

Someday I'm gonna see, see the King
Someday I'm gonna see, see the King
Someday I'm gonna see Him
Someday I'm gonna see Him
Someday I'm gonna see, see the King

Someday I'm gonna see the King
Someday I'm gonna see the King

Someday...gonna see the King
Someday...gonna see, see, see, see, see, see the King

As I look into this old mirror
I see my reflection staring back at me
And who is this man I see before me?
And why am I so afraid of what I see?

Please give me reason to love
Please give me reason to breathe, oh, breathe, oh

A dead man walking, a dead man talking, I am
Full of imperfection and full of sin
How did I become like, like this?
Maybe, just maybe it always has been

Please give me reason to love
Please give me reason to breathe, oh, a reason
Please give me reason to love
Please give me reason to breathe, oh, a reason

Please give me reason to love
Please give me reason to breathe, a reason
Please give me reason to love
Please give me reason to breathe, oh, reason
Reason

I feel like the weight of the world is all
Crashing down on me
And some how I just don?t believe this how
It is suppose to be

And all this expectation on
The way I?m suppose to live
Becomes my minds distraction
With nothing left to give

You said your burden is light
And your load is no more
You said your ways are right
And in you I will soar

I want to be free
Free to dance and free to sing
Free to live and love and free
Oh, free to be me

I feel like my heart is being beat
Down into the ground
In you I?m longing for some peace
To be found

I know the heaviness that?s
Making me cold
Is stealing my youthful soul and
Making me old

You said your burden is light
And your load is no more
You said your ways are right
And in you I will soar

I want to be free
Free to dance and free to sing
Free to live and love and free
Oh, free to be me

I want to be free, yeah
Free to dance and free to sing
Free to live and love and free
Oh, free to be me

Wanna be free
Free to dance and free to sing
Free to live and love
And free to be me

Wanna be free, yeah
Free to dance and free to sing
Free to live and love and free
Oh, free to be me

I am nothing without You
Only a fly upon the wall
Listening in, hoping to find something about You
That will keep me from this fall

And sometimes I catch a glimpse
And my heart begins to beat
Day by day awaken me
You put the wind beneath my feet

I don't follow water
That brings life to me
'cause I don't follow truth, oh
That sets man free

I am nothing without You
Only the dirt beneath Your nails
My heart is bruised and it's broken
And my soul is very frail

Please give me a reason
I need to name this man
And no longer this broken treason
Only on You I will stand

I don't follow water
That brings life to me
'cause I don't follow truth, oh
That sets man free (x2)

Please mend these broken wings
And take the scales from my eyes
Without You I am nothing
I will not survive (x2)

I don't follow water
That brings life to me
'cause I don't follow truth, oh
That sets man free (x2)

Pour out your water
That I might take a sip
Your love consumes me
Every drip
It is like Honey
On my lips
Pour out your water
That I might take a sip

Your words
are a lamp unto my feet
when I walk down these
Dark and Lonely streets
You are all I need

Pour out your mercy
and clear this busy mind
your love is like eden
a slice of apple pie
It is like sugar on my toung
So pour out your mercy
clear my busy mind

Your words
are a lamp unto my feet
when I walk down these
Dark and Lonely streets
You are all I need

I've seen enough to say that I know
That this old world is not my home
From lustful eyes and tainted lies, pride to hide the way that I
The way that I feel inside

I am ready to go home
I'm packing my bags and I'm hitting the road
I am ready to go home
I'm packing my bags and I'm hitting the road

I've seen enough to say that I know
That this old world is not my home
From lustful eyes and tainted lies and pride to hide
The way that I feel inside

I am ready to go home
I'm packing my bags and I'm hitting the road
I am ready to go home
I'm packing my bags and I'm hitting the road

Packing my bags and I'm hitting the road
Yes, I'm gonna run, I'm gonna run for my home
To stand in the sight of the Living God
That's where I'm longing to be

I am ready to go home
I'm packing my bags and I'm hitting the road
I am ready to go home
I'm packing my bags and I'm hitting the road

Hitting the road
Hitting the road
Hitting the road

There is no hope up in your eyes,
as if the blue had left your skies,
The sadness fills you cheeks of stone,
Maybe you believe you are alone.

Your face is shone with quiet despair,
as if this was what you chose to wear,
Your sin you strap upon your chest,
as if there was no longer rest, longer rest.

Take hold, don't give up.
You gotta make the best of what you got,
Give it all you best shot,
Take hold, don't give up.

Your heart seems to have hit the floor,
but I do believe you're meant to soar,
The enemy's wounds, they must go deep,
but I pray the Lord your soul to keep.

There is no taking back those days a gone,
But now it's your chance just to move on.
Make the best of the life you live,
'Cause before Him you soon will give.
You soon will give

Would You open up my eyes,
And show me the light,
Take me away, from this place,
Would You open up my eyes and show me the light,
'Cause I cannot make it alone,
I need, I need You,
I need, yes, I need You,
To free me

Hey, little sister
Why do you cry?
Holdin' your head so low
May I ask you why?

And don?t you know that He loves you?
And don?t you know that He cares?
And He will never leave you, no
And never leave you there

?Cause you are perfect
You are perfectly, perfectly done

And hey, little brother
I know life has been rough
But I believe in you
?Cause in God, you are tough

You must stand tall
And leave it all
Never let this whole world
Take away your soul

?Cause you are perfect
You are perfectly, perfectly done
You are perfect, yes, you are perfectly done

Can I sing you a song
about what happens when you're gone
my whole world seems to fall
and I dont feel like myself at all

I must confess that its true
that I'm nothing without you
We're two souls turning to one
cuz without you I feel undone

Can I sing you a song
about what happens when you're gone
everything aroung comes crashing down
I find myself on the ground

[No lyrics]

Just the other day went walking
Down to the corner and I saw a man
Sitting with a cup in his hand
Saying, "Hey won't you give me something
Won't you give me something to eat?"

I took a look into his eyes and
I saw he had a story to tell
But I walked away with my pockets full, full of change
And I said, "I got nothing for you"

It's time to confess that I need a little more
Jesus inside of me, Jesus inside of me

Don't you see, Jesus was homeless
Walking from city to city
Teaching people how to love
Giving them grace and mercy
Giving them grace and mercy

Now, Jesus was a friend to the friendless
Loving on all the outcasts
Teaching them that there was more
More than what they're living for
More than what they're living for

Don't you see, if you do not learn love
Then you will be completely nothing
You could be absolutely amazing
But you would be nothing

I run for dear life
to you my God
and I never live to regret
Do what you do so well
Do what you do so well
Get me out of this mess
Upon to my feet

You my salvation
You my fortress
You my salvation
with whom I trust

Put your ear to the ground
and listen
Give me space for this salvation
Be a guess room where I can entree
You said, Your door was always open
It's always open

You my salvation
You my fortress
You my salvation
with whom I trust

My God free me from
the grip of the wicked
from the clutch of the bad and the boogie
Oh My God free Me
Free Me

You my salvation
You my fortress
You my salvation
with whom I trust

Let me tell you a story
Of a little boy who had lost his way
In search for something to make it a better day,
But all he seemed to find
Was a world of hurt and pain
And a place that didn't seem to care that he'd lost his way.
So the boy began to cry.
Yes, the boy began to cry.

Does anyone love?
Does anyone care?
Is anyone out there?
That finds me lovely
That fnds me lovely
That finds me lovely?

Just when the little boy had lost all hope
Well, along came a man that usshered him in.
He held him to his chest
And He said, "Little boy, it's time that you rest"
He opened up His arms
And said, "I've been searching for you for some time.
Now, Little Boy, you have found a home
And now longer shall you roam"
Then the man began to cry.
Yes, the man began to cry.

Don't you know I love you?
Don't you know I care?
And I will always be here,
And I find you lovely.
Yes, I find you lovely.
Yes I find you so so lovely.
I find you lovely...
Yes, I find you lovely
