The Older I Get

Artist: Skillet



Verse 1:

The walls between
You and I
Always pushing us apart nothing left but scars fight after fight
The space between
Our calm and rage
started growing shorter, disappearing slowly day after day


Refrain:

I was sitting there waiting in my room for you
You were waiting for me too
And it makes me wonder


Chorus:

The older I get
Will I get over it
It's been way too long for the times we missed
I didn't know then it would hurt like this but I think
The older I get
Maybe I'll get over it
It's been way too long for the times we missed
I can't believe it still hurts like this


Verse 2:

The time between
Those cutting words
Built up our defenses never made no sense it just made me hurt
Do you believe
That time heals all wounds
It started getting better but it's easy not to fight when I'm not with you

[Refrain]
[Chorus]

Bridge:

What was I waiting for
I should've taken less and given you more
I should've weathered the storm
I need to say so bad
What were you waiting for
This could have been the best we ever had

[Chorus]

Altro:

I'm just getting older
I'm not getting over you I'm trying to
I wish it didn't hurt like this
It's been way too long for the times we missed
I can't believe it still hurts like this

Everytime I Breathe

Artist: Big Daddy Weave



Verse 1:

I am sure all of heaven's heard me cry
As I tell You all the reasons why
This life is just too hard

But day by day
Without fail
I'm finding everything I need
And everything that You are
To me


Chorus:

Every time I breathe You seem a little bit closer
I never want to leave
I want to stay in Your warm embrace
Oh basking in the glory shining from Your face
And every time I get another glimpse of Your heart
I realize it's true
That You are so marvelous God
And I am so in love with You


Verse 2:

Now how could I after knowing One so great
Respond to You in any way
That's less than all I have to give
But by Your grace I want to love You not with what I say
But everyday
In a way that my life is lived

[Chorus]

Bridge:

Wrapped in Your mercy I want to live and never leave
I am held by how humble
Yet overwhelmed by Your majesty
Captured by grace and now I'm finding
I am free
You are marvelous God
And knowing You is everything

[Chorus]


Jesus Freak

Artist: DC Talk
Album: Jesus Freak


Verse 1:

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've 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 claimed he had a dream


Chorus:

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
Cause there ain't no disguising the truth


Verse 2:

Kamikaze my death it is gain
I've been marked by my maker a peculiar display
The high and lofty they see me as weak
Cause 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 made the people assume
There wasn't too much left in the upper room
With scabs on his back and hair on his face
They thought he was strange by the locusts he ate
The Pharisee's tripped when they heard him speak
Until the king took the head of this Jesus Freak

[Chorus]
[Chorus]

Bridge:

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

[Chorus]
[Chorus]

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)
Cause there ain't no disguising the truth (Jesus is the way)

Defining Moment

Artist: Newsong



Verse 1:

There comes a time in every heart a time of real decision
When we reach the point of choosing how we will live our lives
All our hopes, all our dreams will rise up from that moment
The moment we surrender and choose to follow Christ

He's been waiting all our lives to hear us say
I am Yours, lord, take my hand and lead the way


Chorus:

When you believe He's all you need
That will be your defining moment
As you live your life walking in His light
Trusting Him completely
That will be, that will be your defining moment


Verse 2:

All I have, all I am is resting in His promise
The promise that He'll make me everything that I should be
I will live, I will die, for the cause He's set before me
To take this love inside my heart for all the world to see

All of heaven celebrates when they hear someone say
I am Yours, Lord, take my hand and lead the way

[Chorus]

Bridge:

His amazing grace is such a mystery,
How in an instant it can make your life complete

[Chorus]
[Chorus]

Undo

Artist: Rush Of Fools
Album: Rush Of Fools




Verse 1:

I've been here before, now here I am again
Standing at the door, praying You'll let me back in
To label me a prodigal would be
Only scratching the surface of who I've been known to be


Chorus:

Turn me around pick me up
Undo what I've become
Bring me back to the place
Of forgiveness and grace
I need You, need Your help
I can't do this myself
You're the only one who can undo
What I've become


Verse 2:

I focused on the score, but I could never win
Trying to ignore, a life of hiding my sin
To label me a hypocrite would be
Only scratching the surface of who I've been known to be

[Chorus]

Bridge:

Make every step lead me back to
The sovereign way that You

[Chorus except last line]

You are the only one who can undo
You are the only one who can undo
What I've become
