Song Lyrics: "The Chains Are Gone"

(Verse 1)
I walked alone in shadowed valleys,
Bound by a thirst I couldn't quench.
Every promise turned to ashes,
Leaving my soul tied to the fence.
I cried for help from broken places,
Where shame had written its decree.
Then I heard a voice of graces,
Saying, "My child, come home to Me."


(Chorus)
The chains are gone, my soul is free!
Through Your mighty power, this victory!
What held me captive lost its grip that day,
When I fell on my knees and learned to pray.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!
I am a new creation, finally free!


(Verse 2)
Temptation whispers, old and cunning,
Tries to remind me of my past.
But You provide a way for fleeing,
A grace that's built forever to last.
You're renewing my mind daily,
Transforming what I used to be.
This freedom isn't frail or shaky,
It's the truth that has rescued me.


(Chorus)
The chains are gone, my soul is free!
Through Your mighty power, this victory!
What held me captive lost its grip that day,
When I fell on my knees and learned to pray.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me!
I am a new creation, finally free!


Bridge)
For freedom, You have set me free—I will stand!
No longer burdened by that yoke, I'm held by Your hand.
The Son has set me free, and free indeed I'll stay!
Walking in the promise of Your mercy every day.


(Outro)
Free indeed... free indeed...
My broken heart, You saved and healed.
Free indeed... oh, praise the Lord...
By Your spirit, my life is sealed.
The chains... are gone.

Lyrics: To Love Like You Do


(Verse 1)
I see it in the sunrise, a faithful daily start
I hear it in the whisper that settles in my heart
A presence in the silence, a strong and gentle hand
The patience of a Father who helps me understand
You don't just give me answers, You give me room to grow
You are the steady harbor when my uncertain waters flow.


(Chorus)
So let me love like You do
With a grace that sees it through
Let my arms be a shelter, my words be true
A reflection, however faint, of You
To my daughters, to my sons
Under these moonlit and morning suns
Let me be a father who shows them how it’s done
By loving like You do.


(Verse 2)
For my son, let me be a safe place, strong and sure
A model of a kindness that will in him endure
Teach me when to lead him and when to let him lead
To plant the seeds of character from every word and deed
And for my daughter, let my eyes show her her worth
A mirror of the beauty she’s carried from her birth
Let my love be a compass pointing true and north
To the One who wrote her story before her first step forth.


(Chorus)
So let me love like You do
With a grace that sees it through
Let my arms be a shelter, my words be true
A reflection, however faint, of You
To my daughters, to my sons
Under these moonlit and morning suns
Let me be a father who shows them how it’s done
By loving like You do.


(Bridge)
I will stumble, I will fall short of this perfect light
But in my failing, let them see me seek what’s right
Let them learn forgiveness from a man upon his knees
Finding strength to rise again in humble memories.


(Outro)
To my children…
With every breath I’m given, this is my prayer…
To love…
Just to love a little more…
Like You do.

Lyrics: "The Lowest Ground"

Scriptural Anchor:
*Psalm 40:1-3* – "I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire; he set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand."
*2 Corinthians 7:10* – "Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret."


(Verse 1)
I built my house on shifting sand
With these two tired hands
Chased the wind, caught the rain
Nothing but a harvest of shame
And in the silence of the night
I wrestle with the ghost of what was right
This weight I carry, this debt I owe
Deeper than any heart can know


(Chorus)
But You meet me at the lowest ground
Where my regrets are the only sound
You don't ask for my perfect score
Just my broken pieces, nothing more
You're lifting me from the mud and the mire
Setting my feet on the rock, higher and higher
This godly sorrow, it's leading me home
From the kingdom of shadows, I'm no longer alone


(Verse 2)
I counted all the cost, every loss
Nailed to a splintered cross of "what ifs" and "whys"
The echo of my own goodbyes
I tried to climb out on my own
But this pit is deep, and I'm just bone
So here I stay, in the waiting place
Searching for a glimpse of grace

(
Bridge)
(Spoken gently) "I waited patiently... and He heard my cry."
This is the turning, the great reply
The sorrow that leads to life, not death
The taking of my final breath... of pride
And breathing in Your mercy tide
(Psalm 40, it's true)
You are making all things new


(Chorus)
And You meet me at the lowest ground
Where my regrets are the only sound
You don't ask for my perfect score
Just my broken pieces, nothing more
You're lifting me from the mud and the mire
Setting my feet on the rock, higher and higher
This godly sorrow, it's leading me home
From the kingdom of shadows, I'm no longer alone


(Outro)
The rock is firm beneath me now
Your peace upon my brow
The shadow's grip, it fades away
In the mercies of today
I was lost, but now I'm found
On this solid, holy ground.

Lyrics: "Our Father (The Prayer)"

(Verse 1 - Intimate & Reverent)
Not in a cathedral of stone and glass
But here in the quiet, this moment will pass
So I lift up my heart, with this simple plea
The words that You taught us, to set our hearts free


(Chorus - The Prayer)
Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven


(Verse 2 - Petitions & Need)
Give us this day our daily bread
The strength for the path our feet must tread
And forgive us our debts, our failures and pride
As we forgive others who stand by our side


(Chorus - The Prayer)
Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done
On earth as it is in heaven


(Bridge - Plea & Declaration)
And lead us not into temptation, Lord
But deliver us from the evil one's sword
For Thine is the kingdom... yes, Yours is the power!
And the glory forever! In this triumphant hour!


(Outro - A Whisper & an Amen)
Our Father...
Hallowed be Your name...
Amen

Lyrics: "My Broken Hallelujah"

Scriptural Anchor:
Psalm 51:17 – "My sacrifice, O God, is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart you, God, will not despise."
Luke 18:13 – "But the tax collector stood at a distance. He would not even look up to heaven, but beat his breast and said, ‘God, have mercy on me, a sinner.’"
*1 John 1:9* – "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness."


(Verse 1)
This altar that I built is cold
The story of my pride, all told
I brought You deeds and empty noise
The shattered fragments of my poise
I stand here with no plea to make
No ground to take, for heaven's sake
Just this familiar, aching shame
And Your most holy, dreaded name


(Chorus)
God, be merciful to me
A sinner, on bended knee
This is my sacrifice, my only plea
A broken spirit, a heart contrite
A flickering, desperate, failing light
Have mercy, in the stillness of this night
Have mercy on me


(Verse 2)
I trace the lines of where I fell
A prisoner of my own hell
I cannot lift my eyes to see
The grace that might be reaching for me
So I beat upon this chest of stone
And whisper, "God, I am Your own
Lost prodigal, and blackest sheep"
This vigil that my soul will keep


(Bridge)
(Spoken, barely above a whisper)
"A broken heart... You will not despise."
You promise this.
So here it is.
My unworthy, trembling confession...
My only possession.
Purify what is unclean.
Faithful. Just.
In this, I must... trust.


(Chorus)
God, be merciful to me
A sinner, on bended knee
This is my sacrifice, my only plea
A broken spirit, a heart contrite
A flickering, desperate, failing light
Have mercy, in the stillness of this night
Have mercy on me


(Outro)
You are faithful...
You are just...
With this dust...
Have mercy.
Amen.

Lyrics: "A Beggar's Psalm"

Scriptural Anchor:
Psalm 51:1 – "Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions."
*Psalm 130:1-2* – "Out of the depths I cry to you, Lord; Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to my cry for mercy."
Hebrews 4:16 – "Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."


(Verse 1)
My words are hollow, my voice is weak
A whispered plea I cannot speak
The heavens feel like iron and stone
And I am broken here, alone
I’ve made a mess of what You gave
Now I’m just a soul You could save
Or pass by on the other side
In the shadows where I hide


(Chorus)
Oh, don't turn Your face from me
Let Your mercy be my plea
From a heart that's worn and thin
I'm begging You to enter in
I'm holding to the promise, to the blood
The unfailing love, the saving flood
According to Your grace, not my disgrace
Just meet me in this desperate place


(Verse 2)
I’m calling from the lowest deep
Where sorrows wake and demons sleep
No righteousness to claim my own
Just shattered pieces, blood, and bone
I’m not here asking for the throne
Just don't leave me here alone
To face the darkness that I've made
Without the ransom that You paid


(Bridge)

"Have mercy... according to Your unfailing love.
According to Your great compassion...
A broken spirit, You will not despise."
(Psalm 51)
This broken spirit cries...
ATTENTIVE! Let Your ears be
ATTENTIVE! to my cry for mercy!


(Chorus)
Oh, don't turn Your face from me
Let Your mercy be my plea
From a heart that's worn and thin
I'm begging You to enter in
I'm holding to the promise, to the blood
The unfailing love, the saving flood
According to Your grace, not my disgrace
Just meet me in this desperate place


(Outro)
I approach the throne...
The throne of grace...
In my time of need...
I am a beggar, holding empty hands out
For the mercy I've read about...
Oh, God... have mercy.
Have mercy on me.

Lyrics: The Jabbok Limp
(Jacob at the Jabbok)



(Verse 1)
The river's just a whisper in the dead of night
My past is on the far shore, silhouetted in the light
Of Esau's campfires burning, four hundred men deep
And the promises I'm carrying, the vows I couldn't keep
I sent my family on ahead, I'm standing here alone
With just the sound of my own fear, and a heart of stone


(Chorus)
Then a shadow in the darkness, a grip upon my soul
We started dancing, wrestling, for the losing of control
I will not let You go, I will not let You go
Until You bless this broken man, and tell me that You know
My name... my name...


(Verse 2)
We grappled in the dust there 'til the breaking of the dawn
My hip is out of socket, all my strength is almost gone
But my grip is only tighter, my resolve is set in bone
You ask me what I'm fighting for, I'm fighting for my own
For a future not yet stolen, for a blessing not yet lied
For a truth to stand upon, with nowhere left to hide


(Chorus)
This shadow in the darkness, this grip upon my soul
We're still dancing, wrestling, for the losing of control
I will not let You go, I will not let You go
Until You bless this broken man, and tell me that You know
My name... my name...


(Bridge)
The sun is touching Jordan, the night has had its say
"You've wrestled with both God and man, and you have won the fray."
And as You speak the words, I feel the old identity
Crumble like a prison, and You set the real man free
"You will no more be Jacob, the supplanter, the deceit"
"Your name is Israel now, for you have struggled and not been beat!"


(Outro)
And I crossed the Jabbok at the morning's early rim
With a blessing and a new name, and a lasting, holy limp...
a reminder of the struggle...

a reminder of the grace...
I saw my brother's face... and I was not the same.
I saw my brother's face... and I was not the same.

Lyrics: "The Furrows of My Brow"

(Verse 1)
The smoke from my brother's altar climbed so straight and true
Mine just smoldered on the ground, nothing I could do
I tilled the stubborn, dusty ground with sweat and with my hands
He just watched his flocks and followed his own commands
I saw the favor in Your eyes, the pleasure in Your gaze
And a cold and bitter seed was planted in those days


(Chorus)
Oh, the anger in the field, a whisper in my ear
"Why does he get everything while I am struggling here?"
My offering was not enough, my labor and my vow
Are written in the furrows, the furrows of my brow


(Verse 2)
You pulled me aside and asked me, "Son, why is your face so dark?"
"The sin is at your doorway, a waiting, hungry spark."
"You must master it," You told me, with mercy in Your tone
But I turned and walked away, feeling utterly alone
I called him to the field, beneath the sun's cruel eye
The tool I used for nurturing was the tool I'd use to die


(Chorus)
Oh, the anger in the field, a scream inside my ear
"He has everything, my Lord, and I have only fear!"
My offering was not enough, my labor and my vow
Are written in the furrows, the furrows of my brow


(Bridge)
And the voice of his blood cries out from this ground
It's a sound I can't escape, it's the only sound I've found
You marked me not for vengeance, but so all would see my shame
A restless, wandering soul who has no one else to blame


(Outro)
A farmer... a keeper...
My brother's... keeper...
And I am... lost...
Beneath the furrows of my brow.

The House of the Lord Lyrics (Based on Psalm 84)



(Verse 1)
My soul is aching, a dry and weary land
My heart is crying out for the touch of Your hand
A single day within Your courts, a glimpse of Holy grace
Means more to me than all the wealth this world could ever place


(Chorus)
How lovely is Your dwelling place, O Lord of Heaven's Armies!
My soul is longing, it's fainting for You, my heart and flesh sing out!
For a day within Your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere!
I'd rather be a doorkeeper, than dwell in tents of wickedness!


(Verse 2)
Blessed are the ones whose strength is found in You alone
Whose hearts are set upon the road that leads them to Your throne
They pass through valleys, weeping, making springs of blessing flow
Their strength increasing, seeing You, from glory onto glory go


(Chorus)
How lovely is Your dwelling place, O Lord of Heaven's Armies!
My soul is longing, it's fainting for You, my heart and flesh sing out!
For a day within Your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere!
I'd rather be a doorkeeper, than dwell in tents of wickedness!


(Bridge)
For the Lord God is a sun and shield, He gives us grace and glory!
No good thing does He withhold, from those who walk in righteousness!
O Lord of Heaven's Armies! Blessed is the one who trusts in You!
My heart is home, my soul can rest, in every promise proven true!


(Final Chorus - Elevated)
How LOVELY is Your dwelling place, O Lord of Heaven's Armies!
My soul is SINGING, I'm dancing for You, my heart and flesh cry out!
For a day within Your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere!
I have found my home right here, in the house of my God!


(Outro)
Here in Your presence...
I am home...
Here in Your presence...
I am home.

Keep Holding On (Eyes of Faith) Lyrics


(Verse 1)
The world faded to a silent grey
Shadows took the place of day
You wonder if the dawn you’ll ever see
But in the dark, a whispered plea
A story told from long ago
Where healing waters used to flow


(Chorus)
Hold on, hold on to the promise He made
In the dark, His light won’t fade
From John chapter nine, verse three
His works in you, the world will see!
Hold on, through the tears and the trial
Walk that extra faith-filled mile
Your story isn't finished being told
Keep holding on, and be bold!


(Verse 2)
Remember Bartimaeus on the road
He cast aside his heavy load
He cried, "Son of David, have mercy on me!"
And Jesus said, "Your faith has set you free!"
(Mark 10:46-52, that’s the truth)
He's the same for me and you


(Bridge)
Isaiah said the eyes of blind He'll open wide
(Isaiah 35:5, in Him confide)
It might not be the way we think or choose
But in His time, His power we cannot lose
For now we walk by faith and not by sight
(2 Corinthians 5:7) His word, our guiding light


(Chorus)
Hold on, hold on to the promise He made
In the dark, His light won’t fade
From John chapter nine, verse three
His works in you, the world will see!
Hold on, through the tears and the trial
Walk that extra faith-filled mile
Your story isn't finished being told
Keep holding on, and be bold!


(Outro)
Keep holding on...
Keep holding on...
Your faith will lead you through the night
Into His glorious, healing light.
Keep holding on.
