2. Alive Again
Matt Maher
I woke up in darkness
Surrounded by silence
Oh where, oh where have I gone?
I woke to reality
Losing its grip on me
Oh where, where have I gone?
'Cause I can see the light
Before I see the sunrise
You called and You shouted
Broke through my deafness
Now I'm breathing in and breathing out
I'm alive again
You shattered my darkness
Washed away my blindness
Now I'm breathing in and breathing out
I'm alive again
Late have I loved You
You waited for me, I searched for You
What took me so long?
I was looking outside
As if Love would ever want to hide
I'm finding I was wrong
'Cause I feel the wind
Before it hits my skin
You called and You shouted
Broke through my deafness
Now I'm breathing in and breathing out
I'm alive again
You shattered my darkness
Washed away my blindness
Now I'm breathing in and breathing out
I'm alive again
'Cause I want You,
Yes I want You I need You, and I'll do
Whatever I have to just to get through
'Cause I love You,
Yeah I love You

3. Be Still
Carolyn Arends
Words fail, but I just keep talking
I derail, but there’s just no stopping
The train of my thoughts, it goes faster and faster
This juggernaut is my natural disaster
My “what-ifs” collide with my “wherefores” and “whys”
‘Til the only way that I’ll survive
Is if I will
Be still
And know that You are God
My gears just keep on turning
My fears quickly are burning
My faith down to ashes, my hope up in smoke
I fan the flames and I stand here and choke
‘Til I remember if I want to breathe
Then the only remedy
Chorus
Oh how I need a vacation
‘Cause it’s so exhausting pretending I’m God
There would be much less frustration
If I would let You do Your job
Chorus

4. To Find My Way To You
Bebo Norman
Well I can't find the words to say
Just to make, make this go away
So You just bleed and I can't sleep tonight
'Cause it's hard to see just what you mean
Across the lines that bring your voice to me
But I can hear your every tear when you cry
And, oh love, when you say to me
That your heart breaks every time I leave
I would set out across the sea
Just to find my way to you
Well I don't know which way to go
So I search the stars, basking in the glow
But they all fall down without a sound from the sky
And, oh love, when you say to me
That your heart breaks every time I leave
I would set out across the sea
Just to find my way to you
Well I still can't find the words to say
But you, my love, love me anyway
So just go to sleep, and my heart will keep the time
'Cause, oh love, when you say to me
That my kiss is the breath you breathe
I would wake up from a thousand dreams
Just to find my way
And, oh love, when you say to me
That my kiss is the like the breath you breathe
I would give up on a thousand dreams
Just to find my way to you
Just to find my way to you

5. Free To Be Me
Francesca Battistelli
At twenty years of age I'm still looking for a dream
A war's already waged for my destiny
But You've already won the battle
And You've got great plans for me
Though I can’t always see
(Chorus)
‘Cause I got a couple dents in my fender
Got a couple rips in my jeans
Try to fit the pieces together
But perfection is my enemy
On my own I'm so clumsy
But on Your shoulders I can see
I'm free to be me
When I was just a girl I thought I had it figured out
My life would turn out right, and I'd make it here somehow
But things don't always come that easy
And sometimes I would doubt
(Chorus)
And You’re free to be You
Sometimes I believe that I can do anything
Yet other times I think I've got nothing good to bring
But You look at my heart and You tell me
That I've got all You seek
And it’s easy to believe
Even though
(Chorus)

6. The Words I Would Say
Sidewalk Prophets
Three in the morning, and I'm still awake
So I picked up a pen and a page
And I started writing just what I'd say
If we were face to face
I'd tell you just what you mean to me
Tell you these simple truths
Chorus
Be strong in the Lord
And never give up hope
You're gonna do great things
I already know God's got His hand on You
So don't live life in fear
Forgive and forget
But don't forget why you're here
Take your time and pray
These are the words I would say
Last time we spoke you said you were hurting
And I felt your pain in my heart
I want to tell you that I keep on praying
Love will find you where you are
I know 'cause I've already been there
So please hear these simple truths
Chorus
Say from one simple life to another
I will say come find peace in the Father
Be strong in the Lord
And never give up hope
You're gonna do great things I already know
God's got His hand on You
So don't live life in fear
Forgive and forget
But don't forget why you're here
Take your time and pray
And thank God for each day
His love will find a way
These are the words I would say

7. Something To Say
Matthew West
Wake up
7:32 am
Can't believe it's time to do it over again
Yesterday it took all that you had
And you're wondering if you'll ever get it back
But the whole wide world is waiting for
Waiting for you to step out that door
Come on and let your life be heard today
Chorus
You got something to say
If you're living
If you're breathing
You got something to say
You know if your heart is beating
You got something to say
And no one can say it like you do
God is love and love speaks through you
You got it, you got it
You got something to say
Listen up
I got a question here
Would anybody miss you if you disappeared?
Your life is the song that you sing
And the whole wide world is listening
Well, the answer to the question is
You were created, your life is a gift
And the lights are shining on you today
Repeat Chorus

8. Hold Us Together
Matt Maher
It don't have a job, don't pay your bills
Won't buy you a home in Beverly Hills
Won't fix your life in five easy steps
Ain't the law of the land or the government?
But it's all you need
And love will hold us together
Make us a shelter to weather the storm
And I'll be my brother's keeper
So the whole world would know that we're not alone
It's waiting for you knocking at your door
In the moment of truth when your heart hits the floor
And you're on your knees
And love will hold us together
Make us a shelter to weather the storm
And I'll be my brother's keeper
So the whole world would know that we're not alone
This is the first day of the rest of your life
This is the first day of the rest of your life
'Cause even in the dark you can still see the light
It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright
This is the first day of the rest of your life
This is the first day of the rest of your life
'Cause even in the dark you can still see the light
It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright
Love will hold us together
Make us a shelter to weather the storm
And I'll be my brother's keeper
So the whole world would know that we're not alone

9. A Ride Back Home
John Mellencamp
Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home?
I've been out here in this world too long on my own
I won't bother you no more
If you can just get me in the door
Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home?
When I started out I was so young and so strong
I just let it roll off my back when things went wrong
Now it's starting to get to me
All of this inhumanity
Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home?
You wouldn't know it by looking at me now
But I was showing some promise once upon a time
But it's gone now
And it ain't coming back
My time's come and gone
It's as simple as that
Hey Jesus this world is just too troublesome for me
I try to fight off all these devils but I'm just too weak
When I'm out here walking all alone
I feel like taking my life but I won't
Too big a coward, can you give me a ride back home
Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home?
Hey Jesus can you give me a ride back home?

10. If I Could Talk To God
Alice Peacock
If I could talk to God - I’d have a million questions
If we could sit down face to face
I’d inquire how He likes to spend his days
And if he has any regrets about this world he made
Everywhere I look children hungry, people hurting
Is it working?
Does it really have to be this way?
I think he might say
Chorus
Hey, it’s really very simple
Follow my example,
People, it’s not so hard living the right way
Learn to love each other, Your sister and Your brother
If I could talk to God, I wonder if that’s what He’d say
If I could talk to God – I’d look Him in the eye and
Ask Him about my destiny
Shouldn’t I spend my time on grander things
And does it even make a difference anyway
In a world full of confusion
Am I part of the solution?
And will it take a revolution for the world to change?
I think he might say
Children you’re not there for a long long time
Is it so hard, to just play nice?
Repeat Chorus

11. Somewhere In the Middle
Casting Crowns
Somewhere between the hot and the cold
Somewhere between the new and the old
Somewhere between who I am and who I used to be
Somewhere in the middle, You'll find me
Somewhere between the wrong and the right
Somewhere between the darkness and the light
Somewhere between who I was and who You're making me
Somewhere in the middle, You'll find me
Just how close can I get, Lord, to my surrender without losing all control?
Fearless warriors in a picket fence, reckless abandon wrapped in common sense
Deep water faith in the shallow end and we are caught in the middle
With eyes wide open to the differences, the God we want and the God who is
But will we trade our dreams for His or are we caught in the middle
Are we caught in the middle
Somewhere between my heart and my hands
Somewhere between my faith and my plans
Somewhere between the safety of the boat and the crashing waves
Somewhere between a whisper and a roar
Somewhere between the altar and the door
Somewhere between contented peace and always wanting more
Somewhere in the middle You'll find me
Just how close can I get, Lord, to my surrender without losing all control?
Lord, I feel You in this place and I know You're by my side
Loving me even on these nights when I'm caught in the middle

12. Save A Place For Me
Matthew West
Don’t be mad if I cry
It just hurts so bad sometimes
´Cause everyday it’s sinking in
And I have to say goodbye all over again
You know I bet it feels good to have the weight of this world off Your shoulders now
I’m dreaming of the day when I’m finally there with You
Save a place for me
Save a place for me
I’ll be there soon
I’ll be there soon
Save a place for me
Save some grace for me
I’ll be there soon
I’ll be there soon
I have asked the question why
But I guess the answer’s for another time
So instead I’ll pray with every tear
And be thankful for the time I had You here
And I wanna live my life just like You did
Make the most of my time just like You did
And I wanna make my home up in the sky
Just like You did
Oh but until I get there
Until I get there

13. Nothing Compares
Third Day
I've heard all the stories
I've seen all the signs
Witnessed all the glory
Tasted all that's fine
Nothing compares to the greatness of knowing You, Lord
Nothing compares to the greatness of knowing You, Lord
I see all the people
Wasting all their time
Building up their riches
For a life that's fine
I find myself just living for today
'Cause I don't know what
Tomorrow's gonna bring
So no matter if I rise or fall
I'll never be alone, oh no
Nothing compares to the greatness of knowing You, Lord
Nothing compares to the greatness of knowing You, Lord

14. Twice As Good
Sara Groves
When I am down and need to cry till morning
I know just where I am going
When I'm in need of sweet commiseration
To speak out loud
Raise a glass to friendship and to knowing
You don't have to go alone
We'll raise our hearts to share each others burdens
On this road
With every burden I have carried
With every joy it's understood
Life with you is half as hard
and twice as good
With my good news you’re dancing on the table
Babies born to celebration
The joy of life oh what a sweet communion
shared with you
I know we're growing older
Can you imagine what that will bring
It's all a mystery to me now
but this one thing
Will be half as hard, and twice as good

15. Never Say Goodbye
Carolyn Arends
I know when You were here
You spoke a lot of words
To disturb the comfortable
And comfort the disturbed
But those who knew You best
Must have wondered why
You never said good-bye
You said “Lo, I’m with you always
Always know that I’m
Making preparations
In a world beyond all time
Where we never say good-bye”
I know when You were here
The people gathered ‘round
To hear You tell of prodigals
And treasures lost and found
And some folks understood
And some folks didn’t try
Still, You never said good-bye
Chorus
I know when You were here
Whenever You would speak
The lame would walk, the blind would see
Your talk was never cheap
And when the time had come
You said You had to die
But You never said good-bye
Chorus
