Unashamed - "Reflection" (TND1042)
1. Meet Us Here
It's your kindness that leads to repentance.
It's your love that draws us to you.
It's your life taken in our place,
through your mercy, we are made new.
We praise your name Oh Lord,
for you're worthy to be praised.
To you we cry with one voice.
Come fill the place.
Fill our hearts with your praise.
Meet us here.
Take our eyes off ourselves,
place in us hearts to serve,
send us your Holy Spirit,
wipe our joyful tears,
help us to remain upright,
to walk closer to you,
you are the reason we live,
our lives we give to you.
God we praise you,
mercy, patience, kindness, forgiveness.
2. Strength Within
Time has come.
Time to confront what I have fought with so long.
I have to fight, not conform to myself.
Conform to this world, give into my sin,
only to fall again.
I won't be held down, cause with God I know
I'm strong and I know that I will overcome.
You've brought me this far but each step I take
is getting harder, but with each step I take,
I know I'm getting stronger.
God help me to use this truth you've put inside
cause with your strength I will try.
3. This Dividing Wall
Why do I get so upset?
Letting feelings dictate what is right.
Letting emotions take control,
letting emotions consume my thoughts and my actions.
Give me a blessing, some kind of miracle
and I'll give you my life.
No, it shouldn't work out this way,
selfish humility makes this dividing wall.
Your selfishness drives you away,
your so confused - take forgiveness,
and let him transform your mind,
you offered me eternity,
in return I sacrifice my will for your glory.
4. What Will Become
Deliver me from this Body of Death,
I've found no help from within myself,
I've taken my life and filled it with pain,
take sins hands from around my neck.
Complacent hands are choking me to death.
You said (you'd never leave me)
take my hands (off my eyes)
breath in me (breath of life)
take my soul (take my life)
what will become of this world,
when it all burns,
when it all fades away,
these choices that we make,
mean so much in the end.
I will lift up my hands,
reaching for my security.
5. Reflection
This is a test that I must endure.
A trial which I must preserver.
A chance to let faith come to life,
and let my deeds back up my words.
They will point to my love,
they will tell of my life.
How can I be wronged if my life
remains in your hands?
I find understanding,
in your love I find my reason,
in your eyes I see compassion.
When you look into my heart, what do you see ?
Do you find an image of a man,
or can you see your reflection?
I pray the day will come soon
when we will all stand together.
To bow before you Father and let
your mercy reign inside of me.
We will sing of the Lords love forever,
with our mouth your faithfulness known
through all generations.
We will declare that your love stands firm forever,
that you established your faithfulness in heaven itself.
For who in the skies above can compare with the Lord.
(Psalm 89)
No one.
We will sing of your love forever,
forever we will sing.
6. The Agony of Deceit
instrumental song
7. Separated
Your voices came through the wall,
my ears heard every word that was said.
I sit here with my tears,
knowing tomorrow won't be here,
and I sit, alone with myself,
alone with my thoughts,
surrounded by anger.
You don't think I can hear?
But each word gets louder and clearer.
I feel I am to blame.
I'll take this guilt upon myself,
my life has been shattered.
Torn in two, can I pick up the pieces,
will cracks always remain.
Will I ever be the same.
How can you tear apart my life,
or rule out what I feel inside.
Separated, caught between two sides.
Now I have to find purpose to my life,
now I am not alone, help is by my side.
You have been to me the Father,
that I've never had to turn in my time of pain.
You helped me to get up and to fight against
the evil that tries to take my life.
(If your life has been destroyed by a divorce, God can give you purpose and answers.)
8. Turn
In darkness, they fall asleep, waiting to be devoured.
Grieving like the rest of men who have no hope.
They search for peace in the midst of a storm.
They turn from goodness, to a promise of pain.
This same darkness that took you away,
deceived your mind and left you alone.
Oh God, what went wrong ?
I have so many questions,
to why it's turned out this way.
How can a person so strong, go astray ?
I just can't sit still as you throw your life away.
I won't sit here and let you walk away and get complacent.
I care too much to watch you slip right
through my hands and live in sorrow.
Trading away your faith for something that's going to
fade away and leave you empty, full of pain.
I believe the truth is still at work in you,
I believe it's still inside of you.
I want you back, back in His love,
back in His hands, set apart.
9. Sustained
As I walk through this valley of death,
fear does not hold a grip on me,
for your sake, we face death all day long,
and by your hand, you help us understand,
as the spirit of darkness covers the land,
you hold this child in your hands,
and we know by the promises that you've made,
that your light will guide our faith.
I will not fear this evil,
as darkness covers the land,
I watch the horizon grow dim.
Faithful I will escape, knowing that I've been sustained.
God has sustained me,
He alone has been my hope.
In a world waiting for me to fall,
God has sustained me through it all...
10. Gateway
Enter through the narrow gate,
for wide is the gate and broad is
the road that leads to destruction
and many enter through it,
but small is the gate and narrow
the road that lead to life.
(Matthew 7:13-14)
Will I go past the gate?
Into your righteousness?
I want to be with you.
Help me to live today,
will you find me worthy?
Will you find my heart true?
Make me worthy, make my heart true.
11. Everlasting Father
God is with us,
for to us, a child is born,
to us a son is given,
all authority has been given to Him,
and He will be called
wonderful,
counselor,
mighty God,
Prince of Peace,
Everlasting Father.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord say to me
"who shall I send?"
Lord here am I, send me.
The Lord is the one we regard as Holy,
for He is our sanctuary,
God is with us.
12. Awesome God
Originally performed by Rich Mullins.
You have been a sheltered fort,
to every generation.
Sanctuary from the storm,
to every generation
Our God is an awesome God.
He reigns from heaven above,
with wisdom, power and love.
Our God is an awesome God.
