ALTAR OF PRAISE
I’m laying down my pride
And the comfort that I bury deep inside
I’m giving up my preference
A willing heart is all that You require
I set aside ambition
Treasures that will fade away with time
I’m walking your freedom
Every step in faith and not by sight
Let my life be an altar of praise
An offering that costs more than words
My life is Yours laid down before you now
Surrendered to the glory of The Lord
I will praise You evermore
I repent of my sin
And the idols that I harbor in my mind
May the words of my mouth
Meditations of my heart bless Your name
I honor Your commandment
To love You Lord with all my heart and soul
I surrender to You now
You are mine and I am Yours to mold
My worship is my response
To who You are and all You've done
Put me to whatever You will
To reflect Your faithful love
SALT + LIGHT
Let my life be as salt on the earth
To uphold what we claim to believe
May Your goodness envelop my heart
Magnify Your love within me
Let my life be a light on a hill
Every valley in reach of Your love
Tether me to Your nature and word
To reveal the kingdom meant for us
If I'm known by how I love
If I'm known by how I love
If I'm known by how I love
Let my life reflect Your love
Set my roots on the banks of your shore
Anchor me to your river of life
Let your spirit arise from within
Overwhelm the dam of comfort and pride
I’ll be the evidence of love
I’ll be the evidence of light
Your glory revealed
Through the gospel fulfilled
I’ll be the evidence of love
THE ONLY ONE
Am I the only boy who hasn’t lost his mind
Am I the only one who feels insane
When did we trade heaven for our preference
And convenience and a paycheck
I swear to God I feel insane
Am I the only one
Tell me I'm not the only one
Am I the only boy who sees what’s going on
When did human rights become so wrong
Why did you label love as hate and discriminate
And wonder why they ran away
I swear to God I feel insane
Am I the only one
Tell me I'm not the only one
Now your hypocrisy it flows
Along the banks to where the money goes
Your good intentions bow
Down to the emperor's clothes
I see you worship your guns in hand
Your narrow pro-life anthem be damned
You just ignore your children's blood
On your American land
While you've been fishing for persecution
I've been wishing for revolution
And the sale of your own soul
It looks a lot like prostitution
Do you remember the words your spoke
"Our God of love, our strength and hope"
It's all gone it's out the door
For your political throne
Am I the only one
Tell me I'm not the only one
POUR MYSELF OUT
I’m known within Your love
Your presence calls me home
Rend my heart O God
Your boundless grace unfolds
I pour myself out
Here at Your feet
I give You my life
You are worthy worthy
All praise to The Lord
My God and my King
I pour myself out
You are worthy worthy
I’m known within Your love
Your presence calls me home
My heart bows at Your name
Your boundless grace unfolds
Sing holy You are worthy worthy
Sing holy You are worthy worthy
NOT BE SHAKEN
You are steadfast You endure
You are with me through the storm
I give You all my praise
Your faithfulness remains
You are patient in my doubt
Everlasting You are sound
I give You all my praise
Your faithfulness remains
My faith will not be shaken
My hope will not be taken
I’ll rest in Your salvation
And faithfulness
My heart has not forgotten
When the night is at its darkest
I stand upon your promise
And faithfulness
You are perfect You are true
Love unending You pursue
I give You all my praise
Your faithfulness remains
In my sorrow in my shame
I find peace within my pain
I give You all my praise
Your faithfulness remains
I’ve got the blood of the lamb
Painted over my heart
I am found in Your love
I know the lion of Judah
Defeated the grave
I’m alive in Your name
You turned a criminal's cross
Into a triumph of love
Now I walk in Your freedom
You bore the weight of our shame
To give us a new name
I am found in Your love
BLESS THE LORD
Let every tongue come and confess
And magnify His righteousness
Let every knee bend and bow down
And gaze upon His great renown
Hallelujah bless The Lord
He is risen from the grave
Sin defeated death has lost
Hallelujah praise His name
Let all the earth in one accord
Walk in the promise of our Lord
Let every voice rise up in faith
The church as one united faith
Up from the grave
Christ rose in victory
Death put to shame
Jesus the King of kings
I've seen The Lord
His Spirit lives in me
The veil was torn
Jesus the King of kings
MODERN DAY SAVIOR
Would a modern day savior
Look anything like me
Would he put on a show
And unwind privately
Would he fight the injustice
Or shrug casually
Would a modern day savior
Look anything like me
Would the birth of a king
Be pushed to the side
Would He need the commotion
And cameras in sight
Would the famous or the homeless
Be first on the scene
Would a modern day savior
Look anything like me
I’ve seen you stick
To your guns over God
I’ve seen you pinned
By the rhetoric of law
I’ve seen you worship
The guy on the news
Would a modern day savior
Look anything like you
Would a modern day savior
Look anything like you
Would he filter the content
To bolster the views
Would he feign persecution
Or enter the tomb
Would a modern day savior
Look anything like you
Would the law and the order
Keep healing at bay
Would a knee on His neck
Teach him to obey
Would he cradle the wealthy
Or bandage the bruised
Would a modern day savior
Look anything like you
Would a modern day savior
Look anything like me
Would he stand in my place
Upon Calvary
Would His love and compassion
See my dignity
Would a modern day savior
Look anything like me
JUST LIKE JESUS
Isn’t it just like Jesus
To speak to the broken
Isn’t it just like Jesus
To sit with the lonely
Isn’t it just like Jesus
To Lead with compassion
To pour out forgiveness
Without a transaction
Isn’t it just like Jesus
To welcome the stranger
Isn’t it just like Jesus
To stand with his neighbor
Isn’t it just like Jesus
To bring peace to violence
To stand in the margins
Give voice to the silenced
You are the God who was
You are the God who is
You will be God forevermore
You are my providence
Your love is evident
It’s woven into Your crown of thorns
Isn’t it just like the Father
To welcome the prodigal
Isn’t it just like the Father
To ransom the criminal
Isn’t it just like the father
To make us in likeness
Embedded with His love
And robed in His kindness
Isn’t it just like the spirit
To loosen division
Isn’t it just like the spirit
To join us all as kin
Isn’t it just like the spirit
To curb our reactions
To challenge the notion
And call us to action
WONDER OF GOD
I’ve seen the wonder of God
Mending and molding my heart
You’re not done with me yet
You’ve just begun
My soul grows tired and weak
But You are a God who redeems
Held up in my shame
But you call me by name
Wake up sleeper light is breaking through
Dry bones come to life and be renewed
I’ve seen your kingdom displayed
Found in a patchwork mosaic
You take what’s been shattered
And You make me new
I sing of all You have done
Praise overflows from my lungs
It’s all because of Your love
All because of Your love
I stand in awe of the God of redemption
I’m overwhelmed by the power of salvation
Why would You give up Your son for my ransom
I’m such a mess who falls short of potential
I stand in awe of the depth of Your goodness
I’m overwhelmed by Your grace and forgiveness
You pour out love undeserved yet relentless
I’m Your beloved Your love is torrential
PAIN YOUR HEART
Does it pain your heart
When you see us fight
We get up in arms
By who’s left and who’s right
Does it pain your heart
When we draw our lines
‘Round the sinners and the saints
And the proud and pained
Does it scar your name
When we draw our sword
If we beat our chest
And shame their choice
Does it scar your name
When we twist your words
‘Round oppression and the poor
And the prisoner and their worth
Do I know your voice
Does it rise above the noise
If you call my name
Will I flee or rush the gate
Will I find you in
In the whisper or mighty wind
Am I found in You
Do I reflect your love and truth
Does it stain Your church
When we raise our fence
If we clutch our pearls
And never build our bridge
Does it stain Your church
If we cloud our lens
To abuse and neglect
To retain and protect
Oh merciful God
We come and confess
We have not done your will
We are lost in distress
We’ve rebelled against love
We’ve denied your name
Our neighbors are strangers
Forgive us we pray
Is it faith or pride
If we elevate law
Over love and care
Of our Savior’s call
Is it faith or pride
That goes before the fall
Are the things we create
The aim of our praise
