Conviction

Atrocities, injustice
The weight of these could crush us
How should we live in light
Of what we know

To reconcile a balance
Let our blessings meet the challenge
To do what's right
And fight what's wrong

When truth exposes horror
And our hearts are brought to sorrow
There's no need waiting
For a call

But I've been watching helpless
The orphans and the oppressed
The problems great
And I'm so small

But helpless is not a word of the redeemed
The power of the Lord's within our means
When we receive Him
His heart aches for those in need
And He is on our side as we proceed
To love them

Guilty by association
Ignoring the abominations
Knowing bears the weight
To do

I will run from indecision
Will not wallow without vision
Jobs are many
But workers few

And helpless is not a word of the redeemed
The power of the Lord's within our means
When we receive Him
His heart aches for those in need
And He is on our side as we proceed
To love them
Oh help us love them

You Are

You are
In control of all of this
All the things that spin around
So wildly, I can't tame

You are
Overseeing all of this
All the things that seem amiss
Are not outside your reign


But I'm about to break
Under the weight of the unknown
It's hard for me to break
Free from the fear that fights you for you throne

But

You are
In control of all of this
All the things that spin around
So wildly, I can't tame

You are
Overseeing all of this
All the things that seem amiss
Are not outside your reign

who am i

i live a small life
you are a great god
i feel incapable
you can do anything

i have a little voice
not heard above the crowd
you shatter silence
with thunder and lightning

but who am i
who am i

who am i to say oh God
that what i have is not enough
for what you've called me to
created me to do
who am i to say

you love the least of these
you love a humble heart
and yet in spite of me
you would use me

i cannot claim a thing
all i have's been given
and i don't understand
why you might choose me

but who am i
who am i

who am i to say oh God
that what i have is not enough
for what you've called me to
created me to do
who am i to say

If our ways are not your ways, won't you thwart them
Confirm the steps we take so we are certain
If our hearts begin to stray
God bring us back to you
So we glorify your name in all we do

In you we move we breathe we have our being
May the fragrance that we raise to you be pleasing
A sacrifice to you 

Our lives we freely give
May others know you Lord because of how we live

Out There

may you feel love
may you feel peace
may you feel surrounded
by the shelter of his wings

may you feel hope
that you can't explain
may you feel joy
in spite of all your pain

somewhere out there, so far from me
somewhere out there, you may be lonely
i shed a tear for what I don't know
but if i knew the raging river would flow
i'm protected here by what has yet been shown
but speed the day you come home

i want to hold you
i want to know you
i want to call you mine
one day i'll hold you
one day i'll know you
and one day you'll be mine

Waiting Song

God I trust you, but I am weary
Here I've stood with open arms but they're still empty
But I know that you are near the broken
So I will wait however long with my arms open

God I need you, when hope is fading
Here I've knelt with faithful heart but I'm still waiting
But I will cling to the words you've spoken
And I will wait however long with my arms open

I've been given a song to sing
And there may be many better
But this is my song to sing
So I will sing my song.
I've been given a song to sing
So perfection doesn't matter
Because this is my song to sing
So I will sing my song.

How many times
Do I think That it's unworthy
How many times
Do I think I shouldn't sing
But though I've tried I cannot be silent
Because I know that this song Is from my King.
