Pour Out My Heart
Here I am once again
I pour out my heart
For I know that you hear
Every cry you are listening
No matter what state my heart is in
For you are faithful to answer
With words that are true
And a hope that is real
As I feel your touch
You bring a freedom
To all that's within
So in the safety of this place
Lord I'm longing to...

Pour out my heart
To say that I love you
Pour out my heart
To say that I need you
Pour out my heart
To say that I love you
Pour out my heart
To say that you're wonderful

Chorus
Though I feel alone
I am never alone
Though I feel alone
I am never alone
For you are with me...
You are with me...
Oh my Lord

In the nighttime while I'm on my bed
I will let every thought be of you
For you are good
You take all those who will come to you

Chorus

In the morning as I face the day
I will let every thought be of you
For you are good
You take all those who will come to you

Chorus

You take all those who will come to you
You take all those who will come to you

Chorus

Smellin' Coffee
by Chris Rice
Last thing I remember, saying bye to yesterday
Glad to see it over pullin' covers over my head
But what were You doin' while I dreamt the night away
I can tell that somethin's different and my eyes ain't even open yet

Chorus
I'm smellin' coffee
Birds are singin' just outside
Here comes Your mercy streamin' in with the morning light
My heart is racing waking up to Your smile
It's a good morning, yeah
It's a good morning

Well I remember readin' You're the God who never sleeps
And while I've been dreamin' You've been singing over me, yeah
Singin' about my freedom, wakin' me up to hear Your song, and now I can't dance hard enough
'Cause yesterday is gone, gone, gone!

Chorus

Every little breath, every heartbeat is a gift of love that You give to me
You keep givin' even when I'm asleep 'cause I know You never stop watching over me
I wake up, my past is gone
'Cause Your mercy's new with the mornin' sun
I'm forgiven, I'm free, it's a brand new day
'Cause Your faithfulness in the greatest! (hey!)

Chorus

Hold Me Jesus
by Rich Mullins
Sometimes my life just don't make sense at all
And the mountains look so big
And my faith just seems so small

Chorus
So hold me Jesus
I'm shaking like a reed
You've been my King of Glory
Won't you be my Prince of Peace

And I wake up in the night and feel the dark
It's so hot inside my soul
I swear there must be blisters on my heart

Chorus

Surrender don't come natural to me
I'd rather fight you for something I don't really want
Than take what you give that I need
And I beat my head against so many walls
And I'm falling down
I'm falling on my knees

And the Salvation Army Band is playing this hymn
And your Grace rings out so deep
It makes my resistance seem so nil

Chorus

The Heart of Worship
by Matt Redman
When the music fades
And all is stripped away, and I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless Your hear

Chorus
I'll bring you more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Though the way things appear
You're looking into my heart
 
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it
When it's all about You
It's all about You Jesus

King of endless worth
No one could express
Hoe much You deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is Yours, every single breath

Chorus




Some Songs of My Own

Here with You
(At the School of the Cross we would have morning prayer together, and during one such morning, while we were praying at Cottage Grove Chruch, I was outside walking around ina bad mood. Praise God that he came and help me that day at again compassed me about with a song of not only deliverance but also yielding (Psalm 32:7). I added the bridge later; consider it optional.)
Here I stand in your presence
Here I rest under your wings
Your promises to me are unfailing
And your mercy I receive

Here I am
Here I am
Mark me with your blood
Hold me with your love
Let me be Lord as softened clay

Here with you I will rest each and everyday
Here with you I will sit at your feet and play (X2)

To Go On
(Like several other of my songs I got this one after struggling. Back home I go to Condry Chapel, a traditional Full Gospel church, and something that is said frequently during testimony service is "I want to go on for him." Well, like I said, I had been struggling and wasn't at any Spiritual high, when one night at church Sister Betty Moss said something like the quote above. The song began to swell up in me, and the Lord compassed me about with a song of deliverance (Psalm 32:7).)
Some days on those quiet, tired days
When I fear weak and doubt the grace to stand
I feel myself, let myself slip from the unchanging hands
But now this heart turns back to Thee
Indeed it cries out to Thee
Help me least I die
This soul cries out that it needs Thee more
To be Your servant and Your bride
Lord, I want...

Chorus
To go on, each day I'm longing
To go on, though You've seen I've fallen
To go on, that why I'm calling
Come to me, Sup with me
To go on, each day I'm longing
To go on, though You've seen I've fallen
To go on, that why I'm calling
Forgive me, Cleanse me
Take me as Your own

So yesterday's come and gone to past
My sins are washed and now I'm free at last
With freedom I turn to His throne
Raise my hands and worship unashamed
Yet still knowing there's so much more
I pray the Lord whom I adore
Help me surrender all
Help me mature and seek Your face
Help me teach others through Your Grace
Lord, I need...

Chorus

Gracious God of Heaven
(A simple praise sung to the King while in my room at the School of the Cross.)
God, to whom belongs all might
God, who's victorious in the fight
Gracious God of heaven, help me stand
I learned that you make all things new
I learned to turn it all to you
Gracious God of heaven, make me a man
With tear-filled eyes I seek your face
Leaning on your amazing grace
Gracious God of heaven, thru' you I can

Gracious God of heaven, Holy One, Souvereign King
Eternal One Almighty, to you alone the angels sing
With heart of thankfulness for your grace
I bow before you the seek your face
Lord, Savior, Deliever...
Gracious God of heaven, help me stand
