There You Are

I've been long waiting, to feel like home

I've been scattered and regrown

I've been long hoping, that by now

I'd have found my way somehow

But I have found, I have found, I have found


That it's a lonely world, that leaves a space unfilled

But no matter where I go

Anytime I feel alone

You remind me, in the spaces near and far

There you are


I've been long struggling, on the ground

Felt my wings were tethered down

I've been long needing, to be free

But the one who held me down was me

And I have found, I have found, I have found


That it's a lonely world, that leaves a space unfilled

But no matter where I go

Anytime I feel alone

You remind me, in the spaces near and far

If I fly or if I fall

You will hold me through it all

You will catch me, in the spaces near and far

Cause there you are


And these walls are not my home because my home is you

And the world may whisper lies but I know this is true


That no matter where I go

Anytime I feel alone

You remind me, in the spaces near and far

If I fly or if I fall

You will hold me through it all

You will catch me, in the spaces near and far

Cause there you are

The Name That Saves Us

Open your eyes

The day is dawning

Behold the gift, of mercies new

Weary arise

Your Savior's calling

You onto the path, He's paved for you


Toward the broken you bend

You step into our pain

For the lost and the hopeless

Lord Jesus you came


Though tragedies come

They will not steal our peace

In the hollows laid bare

May your kingdom increase


Jesus, you're the name that saves us

You're the one that calls us from the grave

That breaks the prisoner's chains

Jesus, you're the hope of nations

In you every wrong will be made right

Every soul can find new life


You're the calm in the storm

You are strong when we're weak

You're the healing that comes

When the sorrows run deep


With longing we wait

For all to be restored

As you pour in our lives

Overflow to the world


Jesus, you're the name that saves us

You're the one that calls us from the grave

That breaks the prisoner's chains

Jesus, you're the hope of nations

In you every wrong will be made right

Every soul can find new life


Come you weary

Lift your eyes

In your life, he wants to shine

Come you broken

Lay down your pain

There is healing in his name


Jesus, you're the name that saves us

You're the one that calls us from the grave

That breaks the prisoner's chains

Jesus, you're the hope of nations

In you every wrong will be made right

Every soul can find new life

You Hold Me Now

Six months past December

I’ll wake up to June

Will I remember the sorrowful tune

That I sang through the snow

Which gives birth to the bloom

The struggles forgotten so soon

But I remember them now

Oh I remember them now


But you hold me now

All the pieces of me

You’re putting together

A beautiful picture that I can’t yet see

And you hold me now

Though the fiercest winds blow

A heart that is barren

You are preparing for something to grow


And I am not alone


The death of the winter 

The new life of spring

Have long been the themes

Of the songs that I sing

But there's peace in the storm

That only you bring

And that is the song I will sing

Whatever is happening now

No matter what's happening now


Because you hold me now

All the pieces of me

You’re putting together

A beautiful picture that I can’t yet see

And you hold me now

Though the fiercest winds blow

A heart that is barren

You are preparing for something to grow


And I am not alone

No I am not alone

For you hold me now


(Six months past December

We’ll wake up to June

The frost long forgotten

The flowers in bloom

Let us never forget

What you have brought us through


For you hold us now

All the pieces of us

Crawled from the hollows 

Ran from the shadows

And rose from the dust

And you hold us now

In the calm and the storm

You're the foundation

You're our salvation

And you lead us on


And we are not alone

No we are not alone

For you hold us now)
