Everyday I look for something to give my heart for Cardboard cut-out life is through, there's got to be more I can't hide behind the dark, it's all the same to you I'll take your word under the rain, it's all I can do How precious are Your thoughts about me Like explosions in the sky How wonderful, You've given me A celebration in Your eyes Everyday I look for someone to see right through me The secrets of this life laid bare, and I'll be free So search me out and know my heart and all its weakness Take me on this path of life and I will see this through

The Battle 02:53
I take on my sword and shield for the fight that lies before me I put on my helmet for I know the One who I belong to I put on my breastplate, it is mine but it don't come from me I strap on my belt and leather boots for any ground beneath my feet And I walk out in Your joy And I hold my head up high ‘Cause I got Your strength inside of me And my brothers by my side But I'm holding fast to You Yes I'm holding fast to You And the battle it is hidden It ain't fought between two men And it's out there on the streets And it's underneath my skin

Eagles 06:26
Even the young get tired and stumble and fall Even the strong and the brave will break down and crawl You can take all your courage and still back down Too many times I've been hit by the fading out On eagles' wings I find myself I'm through with trying to be someone else On eagles' wings my hope is found Soaring high above this rugged ground So I wait... Yes I wait... I wait for you to call my name I wait for you to capture me again Only you can change the atmosphere Only you so won't you come by here again Yes I wait for You to come

Praise the Lord, O my soul Everything within me Will praise His holy Name Sing a new song To the Lion and the Lamb Bring your whole life Lay it down at His command Won't you wake up, oh my soul (He is faithful, He is worthy of your life So lay it all down and hand it over Bring everything that's inside To the King of kings On your knees, on your knees man So get down, Get down at the foot of the King And hand it over to Him) (I will praise I will praise And I will lift up my eyes to the king of Kings I will lay it all down So I'm handing it all over to you And now I'm yours, and you are mine)

Hidden 05:04
I look into the eyes of love Who loves me more than I could know I give my heart to a greater heart That is stronger, sweeter than my own I'm bruised and broken But your love covers me and makes me whole You undo me But it's okay, love sees me through and through Love sees me through and through I'm found hidden in You I'm found hidden in You I'm found hidden, hidden in You I'm found hidden in You Seated with you I'm found hidden, hidden in You

I turn my gaze up To the heavens where You are Eyes of fire Bright lights and shining stars are in Your hands You're the finest of the fine Leaving earthly doubts and fears behind, there's no room up here For You are terrifying, or satisfying I can't decide, how can I stand before - What can I say to You? Nothing else compares to You O God Nothing can stop You Nothing can shock You You are Heaven's Champion, Heaven's Champion In a cloud of glory...

There will come a day, a day when all things fade away A time when castles in the sand will crumble to the ground Masks will be stripped down, the secrets of our hearts be known All the kingdoms that we've made replaced the day He comes again! Eventually all the things we so chased after will cease All your highs and lows will culminate in who you follow Justice will be done the mountains and the valleys levelled out We'll be laying down our plastic crowns, the day He comes again! The sun and the stars will make way for You All that we are will be made new Under the Son we'll have all we need We will be one, we will be free, we will be free There will come a day, a day when all things fade away The sky will fold itself in when time is growing old The One behind all things will come back for His bride and everything Face to face we'll be remade to reign the day He comes again!

Beloved 03:51
My beloved, she burns in My heart I'd cross the skies for her She is rugged but I am her Lover My love will make her whole Yes My love will make her whole Fire, fire Waters can't quench this love Fire, fire Waters can't quench this love My beloved like silver and gold She's precious in My hands She's corrupted but I washed her clean Now beautiful she stands Oh beautiful she stands My beloved, I take all the punches I win you back today Bruised and broken yet nothing can stop it I've thrown it all away My beloved, she burns in My heart I crossed the skies for her She is rugged but I am her Lover My love will make her whole Yes My love will make her whole ...My love has made her whole

Oh the bruised and broken hearted Where are You now? Oh the blind those held captive Where are You now? Oh the lost and forgotten Where are You now? Oh the bruised and bitter Where are You now? I know You're better than this So won't You come on down We need You now Oh the bruised and broken hearted Where are You now? Oh the blind those held captive Where are You now? Oh the lost and forgotten Where are You now? Oh the poor and the downtrodden Where are You now?

Hey there, what you looking for? Hey there, what you chasing after? The world is searching for a hope and turning inside out They're chasing after trophies and they're fighting for a crown While we're hanging here, at the bottom of the world We're just hanging here, at the top of everything Hey there, what you hoping for? Hey there, why you rushing like you do? The world is turning upside down, the lowest are on top The highest are brought down and brought back up again by love While we're hanging here, at the bottom of the world We're just hanging here, at the top of everything We need to simplify, simplify, simplify our lives Simplify, simplify, simplify our lives

I've been treading on Your rooftops Running through the rain drops Breathing in Your love I've been handing it all over Eyes wide open The spell that was over me is broken I've been reaching for Your skies Thirsty for new wine I throw myself on You I've been trading in my story Broken for glory I step in time, I step in time with You Beyond the skyline I find my home way Captured by You, free to move Beyond the skyline I find my home way I go where Your feet take me I've been watching I've been waiting Searching for a sign of new life Jack-in-the-box Back where I came from All in a whisper I hear You call my name
