Father God, just for today

Help me to walk, your narrow way

Help me to stand, when I might fall

Give me the strength to heed your call

Chorus:

May my steps be worship

May my thoughts be praise

May my words, bring honor to your name

(repeat 2x)

I’ve got some friends they don’t believe

They don’t believe in Jesus Christ.

They’ve got no plans on where to spend

On where to spend eternal life.

They don’t believe that there’s a God

That there’s a God, he’s way up there.

They’ve never known his grace and love

And quite rankly they don’t care.

The day is coming soon when fortune, fame, it all runs dry.

And all they have is self and then they’ll sit and wonder why-

Chorus:

They keep falling down the stairs

They keep trippin’ o’er their feet

Then they’ll have to stop and search

Just to find their stupid keys

And it’s sad that I--

I can’t impress upon their minds

That all they need is God

When they keep falling down the stairs.

Na na na

I know some folks who won’t receive

They won’t receive the living Christ

Not as their Lord not as their friend

Who’ll bring purpose to their life

They’d rather stumble, trip, and fall

And pin their blunders anywhere

And if you tell them, they won’t hear

They’d rather fall right down the stairs.

The day is coming soon when fortune, fame, it all runs dry.

And all they have is self and then they’ll sit and wonder why-

Chorus (4x)

Uncertain and afraid, I kneel before your throne.

Even though your plan’s been made, to me it’s still unknown.

And though the evidence is plain, hat I should follow you,

I’m bound by my will that wrests control from you.

(Wrests control from you)

Chorus:

So lord release me in the peace that’s found in you.

Lord release me in the faith that you’ll be true.

Lord release me in the knowledge of you-

I will never be at peace til you… til you release me.

Along this ride of life I’ve taken many turns.

Though you’ve said the iron’s hot, I keep getting burned.

So God I ask you now to guide this foolish heart,

When I’m out on my own my life just falls apart.

(Life just falls apart)

Chorus (2x)

Whenever I think about you

I lift up my hands and call on your name, dear Lord

Living by faith and trusting in your love,

Grace and mercy abounding from above.

I know that you, you have delivered me

From the penalty I deserved to see.

Chorus:

Whenever I think about you

I lift up my hands and I call on your name, dear Lord

And I would be lost without you,

and I know in my heart, you’ll always be there, dear Lord.

Hardly a day goes by that I don’t know

Why you love me, yes why you love me so.

But I am grateful for my second chance.

Take my praise, O Lord, let your Spirit dance.

Chorus (3x)

7. Psalm 119

Music and Arrangement: Mitch Fewell

Used by permission.

How can a young man keep his way pure?

By living according to your word.

I seek you with all of my heart.

Don’t let me stray from what is true.

I have hidden your word in my heart,

That I might not sin against you.

And praise be to you Lord

Teach me all of your ways

I am living your word in my heart

I will search you for all my days

I feel the rain, I hear the thunder roll

The earth, it cries a song, and it sings all day long

I’ve seen your light shine in the darkest place when I lift up my eyes,

I see your wonder in the skies

Chorus:

I stand amazed, I stand amazed

The wonders of your hand, I’m lost in love again

I stand amazed, I stand amazed

And I lift up my voice, to praise you and rejoice

I stand amazed

I see the stars, I see the ocean wave

And all around I see your Majesty

I feel the wind, I feel your rays of light

And I know what I feel: my God is drawing near

Chorus

I bring my tears, I bring my broken heart

I surrender all to you, make me clean and brand new

Now that I’ve seen all that you’ve done for me

Let your grace fall like the rain and I’ll praise you again

Chorus (2x)

9. Above All

Lenny LeBlanc & Paul Baloche

Above all powers, above all kings

Above all nature and all created things

Above all wisdom and all the ways of man

You were here before the world began

Above all kingdoms, above all thrones

Above all wonders the world has ever known

Above all wealth and treasures of the earth

There’s no way to measure what you’re worth

Crucified

Laid behind a stone

You lived to die,

Rejected and alone

Like a rose trampled on the ground

You took the fall and thought of me

Above all

10. Forever

His Love endures forever

Sing praise, Sing praise

Sing praise, Sing praise

Chorus:

Forever God is faithful (forever and ever)

Forever God is strong (forever and ever)

Forever God is with us (forever and ever)

Forever and ever

By the grace of God we will carry on

His Love endures forever

Sing praise, Sing praise

Sing praise, Sing praise

Over all the earth,

You reign on high,

Every mountain stream,

Every Sunset Sky,

But my one request,

You Lord my only aim,

Is that you’d reign in me again,

Chorus:

Lord Reign in me,

Reign in your power,

Over all my dreams,

In my darkest hour,

You are the Lord,

Of all I am,

So won’t you reign in me again

Over every thought,

Over every word,

May my life reflect,

The beauty of my Lord,

Cause you mean more to me,

Than any earthly thing,

So won’t you reign in my again

Chorus (3x)

Living by the Spirit’s Fruit

Will keep you near to God.

Love and patience, faithfulness-

Against them there is no law.

Following the Spirit’s call

With gentleness and peace,

Keeps you from the acts of sin

And leads you to eternity.

Chorus:

Keep in step,

Living by the Spirit.

Keep in step,

Living by the Word.

(repeat 2x)

Joy, kindness and self-control,

Goodness is all you need.

You belong to Christ the Lord

And he will make you free.

Chorus

Bridge:

Well Satan works with fear,

But his sinful acts are clear.

Envy and impurity

Drunkenness, idolatry

Jealousy and rage

Selfishness and hate

From these we stay away

And heaven will be our home some day.

Chorus
