LYRICS

on a hot and dusty day
while Your disciples were away
when the woman came to You
You didn’t turn away
she didn’t see just who You are
and she tried to hide her scars
but You reached out to save her
even though she’d fallen far
when You came to her to show
the Father’s love

You let the blind see the sun
You let the lame jump and run
You fed the thousands from Your hand
and blessed the children one by one
and when an outcast leper came
You showed Your tenderness again
he felt a touch he’d longed for
and thought he’d never feel again
and all because You came to show
the Father’s love

when the boat began to fill
when You told the waves “be still”
the Creator took His place
and all was quiet at Your will
when the storm was on the sea
and when the storm’s too much for me
when You calm the storm, You show
the Father’s love

You taught the people every day
on how to live from day to day
when Your disciples came to you
You taught Your children how to pray
You taught us how we should forgive
You showed us how to live
the Father sent You to us
to show us love through how You lived
You were the only way that He
could send His love

in the garden where You prayed
and when the mob took You away
when You stumbled down the street
as night turned into day
when You offered up Your life
when You gave Yourself to die
there was no greater way to show
the Father’s love

when they thought that you were gone
and didn’t want to carry on
they never understood the plan
they didn’t know that they were wrong
You were just resting for the day
the Father had something to say
Not even death could hold You
No grave could keep Your love away
and when He raised You up, He showed
the Father’s love

when it was time for You to go
when the Father took You home
You said You’d send the Helper down
and that we’d never be alone
You said You’d go prepare our place
and when we get to see Your face
then we’ll never, never leave
the Father’s love

LYRICS

Your desire is over me
and Your mercy sets me free
sets me free to love
with the love You’ve given me
You have brought me to this place
You have led me in Your grace
You will lead me on
until i can see Your face
because You love me

i will sing to You
i will call Your name
i will praise You God
praise You in the rain
You have shown Your love
Your love it stays the same
i will give You all my glory
i will sing to You

my desire is for You
after all You’ve brought me through
You have saved my life
so i give my life to You
times before and time again
from the start and ’til the end
majesty on high
but You still call me friend
because You love me

i will sing to You
i will call Your name
i will praise You God
praise You in the rain
You have shown Your love
Your love it stays the same
i will give You all my glory
i will sing to You

and i lift my hands
and i fall on my knees before You
holy is Your name
and i cast my crowns
down at Your feet
because You love me

i will sing to You
i will call Your name
i will praise You God
praise You in the rain
You have shown Your love
Your love it stays the same
i will give You all my glory
i will sing to You

LYRICS

You walk beside me
You come and guide me
in paths of mercy
toward Your glory
You lift my burden
in the darkness
and in the valley
You stand and guard me
i’ve had my questions
but i’ve found

the answer
You are the answer
time and again
i see You here
through my pain
through my tears
the answer
You are the answer
and when i turn to You
and trust in You
You show me
that the answer is You

i feel You lift me
i see You love me
i know You’re near me
i know You hear me
my questions haunt me
Your power saves me
my doubts are chasing
but You amaze me
as far as i can run
You’re still

the answer
You are the answer
time and again
i see You here
through my pain
through my tears
the answer
You are the answer
and when i turn to You
and trust in You
You show me
that the answer is You

and when i wonder
when i fear that
You don’t hear me call Your name
i won’t stop searching
i know that
Your love remains the same

the answer
You are the answer
time and again
i see You here
through my pain
through my tears
the answer
You are the answer
and when i turn to You
and trust in You
You show me
that the answer is You

LYRICS

You give hope
You save my life
You give me mercy
i don’t know why
You heal me and crown me
with all of Your love and mercy
Your love and mercy
You let me know You
i see Your care
You heal my burdens
You’re always there
and from everlasting
You show me Your love and mercy
Your love and mercy

as high the mountain
as deep the sea
i can’t stop Your love from reaching out and finding me
You show me love in all You do
so all i can do is trust in You
as high as Heaven
beyond the stars
there is nowhere i can run nowhere too far
Your love will find me Your love is true
so all i can do is trust in You

the way is narrow
the path is hard
i know You’re there
though i can’t see far
i look at my past and i know that
You’ve always been with me
always been with me
so each step forward
i turn and see
the love You offer
is lifting me
and one day i’ll see You
and know that You’ve always been with me
always been with me

as high the mountain
as deep the sea
i can’t stop Your love from reaching out and finding me
You show me love in all You do
so all i can do is trust in You
as high as Heaven
beyond the stars
there is nowhere i can run nowhere too far
Your love will find me Your love is true
so all i can do is trust in You
