Lyrics:
Chorus:
Give me your strength
Give me your truth
Give me a
faith of my own
Give me your strength
Give me your truth
Give me
a faith of my own
When I was a boy not so long ago
I believed in You, but the faith
was not my own
I know You’re by my side, but now I feel alone
Lost
in this world where I’ve been thrown
I am not a child, I strive to be the man
Where faith is not just
what I believe, it’s who I am
Help me to look on high, help me to take
a stand
Lead me down the path to find your plan
Repeat Chorus
I need a faith of my own
What now?
Would you think that I’m grown
up now?
Would you think that I’ve blown up now?
After what He has
shown us
How could you think it would last?
Think it would not be a
flash in the pan?
Think you would not need to ask of the Man?
Take a
lasting grasp of His hand
So I’m wondering
How could He see in
me?
How could His spirit be in me?
How could He use me just to
see
That I need to be in His presence to truly see
That His message
seeps into me
It holds fast, a slash through the heart of me?
My
faith has got to last
And blast way past the place where I used to
be
Strugglin’ with the faith I’ve been given
Confusin’ fantasy with the
life I’ve been livin’
How can my faith be truly blessed
Unless it’s
been tested and perfected
Give me a way to see
The chosen path
You’ve laid before me
Give me the strength to lean on You
No matter
where I’ve been or what I’ve been through
Faith (give me a
faith)
That’s truly grown (I need a faith)
Faith
That I can just
call my own
Bring me back to the place and the path and the life to
me
That You’ve truly shown
Repeat Chorus
Now I am not a child, I strive to be the man
Where faith is not just
what I believe, it’s who I am

Lyrics:
There are places in my heart and corners of my mind
That I’ve hidden
from your light
Like buried treasure deep inside of me
I don’t want
You to see, I keep it to myself
But You give your love to me
You
open up your heart unselfishly
Lord, in your embrace now I can say (I
can say) I surrender
Chorus:
Everything I held so precious
Everything I kept away
I
give it up, give it up
All for You, I give it all for You
Everything
I held as treasure
I give it all for You
I give it all for You
In your light, I feel a new power coming over me
Calling me to your
surrender
I gotta find the answer
What is this your love has opened
up inside?
Suddenly I cannot hide
You give your love to me
You
open up your heart unselfishly
Lord, in your embrace now I can say (I
can say) I surrender
Repeat Chorus
’Cause your love is everything to me, yeah
And in your light I
finally see, yeah
Oh, I can’t hold it back
Everything I’ve hidden
deep inside
Now I surrender
I surrender all
Repeat Chorus (x2)

"When Jesus heard this, he said to him, 'You still lack one thing. Sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.'" Luke 18:22

Lyrics:
Free your mind
Let Me show you, let Me show you
Let Me show you
Me
Well I know you've heard about Me
Who I am, about divinity
And
I'm sure you think you know Me
For all the things you've read about
Me
Oh, but I'm trying hard to show you Me
Standing before you so
that you can see
Chorus 1:
Open up your mind (open up your mind), try to understand
(try hard to understand)
There's much more to Me (there's much more) I
want you to see
Let me show you Me (let me show you Me)
Open up your
mind (can you, can you try), try to understand (try hard to
understand)
There's much more to Me (there's much more to Me) I want
you to see (I want you to see)
Let me show you Me (let me show you
Me)
Show you (how much you mean to me)
Show you (My joy can set you
free)
Show you (that you're in touch with power)
Show you (like you
have never known)
How I want for you to see Me
To be amazed at what you could
be
Never more My face do you hide
Because you're here right by My
side
I have been longing just to be your friend
So that the
laughter I give you won't end
Chorus 2:
Open up your mind (open up your mind), try to understand
(try to understand)
There's much more to Me I want you to see (I want
you to see)
Let Me show you Me (let Me show you Me)
Open your mind
(please open up), try to understand (try to understand, try to
understand)
There's much more to Me I want you to see (I want you
to see)
Let Me show you Me (let me show you Me)
There's much more to
Me (there's so much more to me) I want you to see (that I want you to
see)
Let Me show you Me (set my spirit free)
Open up your mind

Lyrics:
I thought I needed true love to fill the lonely times
I thought
maybe a song would heal this heart of mine
I thought I needed new
friends to put away the past
I thought the answer was good times, but
the good times never last
Nothin’ took away the emptiness
That I’ve known for so long
And
nothin’ gave me peace inside
’Cause with all I’ve done wrong
Chorus 1:
I needed a Savior, a Savior
To do what no one else
could do
I needed a Savior, a Savior
Oh, Jesus, I needed You
I needed You
It was rain in the desert
Like a new day of hope
You offered your
mercy
To my desperate soul
I can’t believe I’m standing
here
Forgiven and free
I can’t believe how far You’d go
To give
life to me
Repeat Chorus 1
Now and forever
Now and forevermore
You are my life
You are my
Lord
Chorus 2:
Savior, Savior
You do what no one else could do
I
needed a Savior, a Savior
Oh, Jesus, I needed You
Chorus 3:
Savior, Savior
To do what no one else could do (no one
else could do)
I needed a Savior, a Savior
Oh, Jesus, I needed
You
I needed You
Oh, Jesus, I needed You (You)
Scriptural Reference:
"It teaches us to say 'No' to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age, while we wait for the blessed hope—the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us to redeem us from all wickedness and to purify for himself a people that are his very own, eager to do what is good." Titus 2:12-14

Lyrics:
As I rest against this cold, hard wall
Will you pass me by?
Will
you criticize me as I sit and cry?
I had fought so hard and thought
that all my battles had been won
Only to find the war had just
begun
Chorus 1:
Is He not strong enough
Is He not pure enough
To
break me, pour me out and start again?
Is He not brave enough
To
take one chance on me?
Oh, can I have one chance to start again?
Will my weakness for an hour make me suffer for a lifetime?
Is there
any way to be made whole again?
If I’m healed, renewed and find
forgiveness, the strength I’ve never had
Will my scars forever ruin all
God’s plans?
Repeat Chorus 1
He took my life into His hands and turned it all around (turned it all
around)
In my most desperate circumstance
It’s there I’ve finally
found
Chorus 2:
That You are strong enough
You are pure enough
To
break me, pour me out and start again
That You are brave enough
To
take one chance on me
Oh, thank You for my chance to start again
Scriptural Reference:
"He will keep you strong to the end, so that you will be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ." 1 Corinthians 1:8

Lyrics:
Never have to worry...
It’s hard to see that
Hard to believe that
I once was all on my
own
’Cause You’ve been faithful
And I’m so grateful that You never
left me alone
(Oh, it’s so good to know)
To know that You’re with me
all of the time
(You’ll never let me go)
And I am walking with You
to stay alive
Chorus 1:
When the mountains fall
When the stars collide
I
know You’ll be there
Standing by my side
Oh-oh-oh
When the river
runs
Overflows the seas
I know You’ll be there
You will still be
lovin’ me
Still love me, yeah
Don’t try to tell me
That there’s another
Something that fulfills
like You do
But I’m not leaving
There’s nothing out there
Not a
thing more precious than You
(I have no need to fear)
My Father
watches over me night and day, yes He does
(The choice is very
clear)
I’m so delighted to be walking your way
Chorus 2:
When the mountains fall
When the stars collide (the
stars collide)
I know You’ll be there
Standing by my
side
Oh-oh-oh
When the river runs
Overflows the seas (into the
sea)
I know You’ll be there
You will still be lovin’ me
Never have to worry
I never have to fear
’Cause You are always
near
Taking good care of me
I never have to worry
I never have to
fear
’Cause You are always near
You will still be lovin’ me
Chorus 3:
When the mountains fall (when the mountains fall)
When
the stars collide (when the stars collide)
I know You’ll be
there
Standing by my side
Oh-oh-oh
When the river runs (when the
river runs)
Overflows the seas (overflows the seas)
I know You’ll be
there
You will still be lovin’ me
Chorus 4:
When the mountains fall (when the mountains fall)
When
the stars collide
I know You’ll be there
Standing by my
side
Oh-oh-oh
When the river runs (when the river runs)
Overflows
the seas (into the sea)
I know You’ll be there
You will still be
lovin’ me
Still love me, yeah

Lyrics:
Chorus 1:
I need to see you
Show me the real you
Why can’t you
be you?
Repeat Chorus 1
I know that you see this puzzled look on my face
I’m trying to
figure out that dangerous game that you play
It’s Monday morning, have
you already forgotten Him?
Sunday is not the only day He died for your
sin
My God is not a prop that you can use in this show
This mask
that you wear for people has got to go
Christ would live in your heart
if He could open the door
But He can’t fit inside thanks to your pride
and your ego
Chorus 2:
I need to see you
Show me the real you (I wish you'd
show me the real you)
Why can’t you be you (why can't you be you)?
What you say is not what you do
What you do is not what you
say
You pretend to lead them, but they can’t really see
A
whitewashed tomb, a slave to hypocrisy
I wish you’d show me the real you
I wish you’d show me the real
you
Do you even know the real you?
'Cause I’ve seen who you can be
He can see your heart
Look for
the real you
He’ll show you where to start (where to start)
Chorus 3:
I need to see you
Show me the real you (why can't you
show me the real you)
Why can’t you be you (I wish you'd be you, I wish
you'd be you, I wish you'd show me the real you)?
Chorus 4:
I need to see you (I need to see you)
Show me the real
you (I wish you'd show me the real you)
Why can’t you be you (why can't
you be you, why can't you be you, I wish you'd show me the real you)?

Lyrics:
I was standing in a grave, barely alive
Needing someone to heal this
torn heart of mine
Walking a line between my love for God and my
desires
Darkness pounding 'round me on every side (Jesus Christ who God
has given)
Even through my death I still have life (I still have life,
I still have life)
I will survive (I will survive) 'cause Jesus showed
me how to die
Chorus:
If you die with Christ (You will live with Him)
Since He
paid the price (For real life to begin)
Put to death the old man (now
to join a new friend)
If you die with Christ (You will live with Him)
Lost without a friend to call my own
In my quest for freedom, I
found myself so alone, so alone
Since then I've grown, I must put to
death the life I know
Living life today, it's not a game
Satan's out
to destroy you in every single way
You must not sway, believe me there
is a better way (there's a better way)
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
(Just as Christ was raised from the dead, He'll
give)
He'll give you life eternally (you life)
Trust that if you die
with Him
He will then set you free!
Repeat Chorus
You will live with Him

This song includes a
portion of "Who Is Gonna Tell the Child?" from Rescue
by Acappella.
Lead: Kody King
Lyrics:
See that little girl standing there in the street light?
The look of
loneliness upon her face
She doesn’t think she’s got a future in this
life
Cardboard boxes are her living space
What help can you give to
this child (to this child)?
She wants to stop crying for a while
She needs Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
She needs Jesus
She needs Jesus,
Jesus, Jesus
She needs Jesus
You see that boy crying there on the playground (crying there)?
You
wonder why the tears fall from his face (from his face)
He’s looking
for his daddy who cannot be found
He wonders where to go from this
lonely place
What help can you give to this child (to this
child)?
He wants to stop crying for a while
He needs Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
He needs Jesus
He needs Jesus,
Jesus, Jesus
He needs Jesus
Bridge:
(There is only one) Jesus, there's only one way we can reach
them (only one)
There's only one thing we can do
(Show them love)
Somebody's got to show them what love is
I think it's up to me and you,
think about it, yeah
You see that child running away from his problems
He thinks that his
pain is just too much to bear
If only he knew the Father loved
him
If only he knew that the Father was there
People, why can’t you
understand?
We’ve got to lend a helping hand
(Tell this child) 'Cause we need to tell the child about Jesus
We
need to tell the child about God (who's going to tell them)
'Cause they need Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
They need Jesus
They need
Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
They need Jesus

Lyrics:
[Spoken Intro]
How could I possibly be inconspicuous
When the way He changed me is
so ridiculous
“That’s quite an accent”
Well, I’m from the
south
And the praise of Christ flows out my mouth
I get stares when
I’m clappin’ up in God’s house
So I might as well give ’em somethin’ to
talk about
I bust a rap to make a blind man believe in the Lord,
yeah
So if you came here to move this evening, then come on, Holla
Chorus:
Now we’re getting done
(Holla) Now we’re getting
done
Call me ’cause we’re getting done
I’ll be around
(Holla) Now
we’re getting done
(Holla) Now we’re getting done
Call me ’cause
we’re getting done
I’ll be around
You see these words here they come from the heart
You best believe
that Christ is in charge
When the beat hits, you know we go hard
And
that’s how we do it round these parts
Repeat Chorus
Spoken Vocals:
Man, we’re just hanging out here having a good
time
Praising God the only way we know how
Where the spirit of the
Lord is, there is freedom, you feel me? Yo
So when it comes to
worshipping God, come just as you are
Be you, praise Him with your
whole heart
Follow Him and the rest will come natural
(The Spirit
will lead you)
And remember, no matter where you’re at, I’ll be around,
Holla
Repeat Chorus (with spoken stepouts)
Closing:
Oh, no
It’s Big J-Rock and K-Dog
Oh, no
If you
ain’t here to party, whatcha come here for?
Repeat Closing (x3)
