Matthew West - Mercy is a Song

Mercy is a song, singing to my heart
Telling me it's ok, come just as you are
I never heard a melody, like the one they're singing over me
And I just wanna sing along, 'cause mercy is a song

Freedom is a choir, swaying back and forth
Shining in the shadow of a stain glassed Sunday morning
Shouting hallelujah, yesterday is gone
Oh freedom is a choir and mercy is a song

Singing ohhhhh, there is a life for every soul
No matter where you've been just come on home
Let all God's children sing along
Hallelujah chains are gone
Mercy is a song

Guilty is a lie, spoken by a fear
Saying after what you've done, you don't deserve to be free
But I can look him in the eye, and say this time you're wrong
'Cause guilty is a lie, oh but mercy is a song

[Chorus]

A song of the redeemed
I want to set free
A glimpse of what waits for you and me

Heaven is a mansion, a promise in the sky
That one day we will be singing with those angels up on high
That old familiar melody, like we've known it all along
Oh heaven is a mansion and mercy is a song
Heaven is a mansion and mercy is a song
Oh tell me, can you hear it?

Singing ohhhhh, there is a life for every soul
(There is a life for every soul)
No matter where you've been just come along
(No matter where you've been, where you've been)
Let all God's children sing along (sing along)
Hallelujah chains are gone
Let all God's children sing along (sing along)
Hallelujah chains are gone...

Mercy is a song (ohhh) [3x]

David Archuleta - My Little Prayer

Heavenly Father, I am grateful
For your eternal presence
I am learning to be patient
And that you are really there.

Sometimes I am afraid,
And I know that's lacking faith.
But I'm beginning to understand,
That for me you have a plan.


Heavenly Father, I am grateful
For you sending your son
To die so that I live
And for never giving up.

I'm learning everyday
That I won't always have my way.
But I'm beginning to understand
That for me you have a plan.


Heavenly Father, I am grateful
For you hearing my prayer.
I am learning to be patient,
And that you are really there.

There are answers I'm receiving.
No, they're not always immediate.
Sometimes I have felt defeated,
That's when I kneel down in prayer.


You show me you hear my prayer.
I'm amazed by how you care,

Cause you hear
My little prayer.

**Lovely song to listen this Advent time... :)

Hillsong - Even When It Hurts (Praise Song)

Take this fainted heart
Take these tainted hands
Wash me in Your love
Come like grace again

Even when my strength is lost
I'll praise You
Even when I have no song
I'll praise You
Even when it's hard to find the words
Louder then I'll sing Your praise

I will only sing Your praise
I will only sing Your praise
I will only sing Your praise

Take this mountain weight
Take these ocean tears
Hold me through the trial
Come like hope again

Even when the fight seems lost
I'll praise You
Even when it hurts like hell
I'll praise You
Even when it makes no sense to sing
Louder then I'll sing Your praise

I will only sing Your praise
I will only sing Your praise
I will only sing Your praise

And my heart burns only for You
You are all You are all I want
And my soul waits only for You
And I will sing till the morning has come

Lord my heart burns only for You
You are all You are all I want
And my soul waits only for You
And I will sing till the miracle comes

I will only sing Your praise
I will only sing Your praise
I will only sing Your praise

Even when the morning comes
I'll praise You
Even when the fight is won
I'll praise You
Even when my time on earth is done
Louder then I'll sing your praise

I will only sing Your praise

Rachel Platten - Better Place

I'll tell the world, I'll sing a song
It's a better place since you came along
Since you came along
Your touch is sunlight through the trees
Your kisses are the ocean breeze
Everything's alright when you're with me


And I hold my favorite thing
I hold the love that you bring
But it feels like I've opened my eyes again
And the colors are golden and bright again
There's a song in my heart, I feel like I belong
It's a better place since you came along
It's a better place since you came along


I see the whole world in your eyes
It's like I've known you all my life
We just feel so right
So I pour my heart into your hands
It's like you really understand
You love the way I am


Now I'm alright, now I'm alright
Everything's alright...

Rascal Flatts - Bless the Broken Road

I set out on a narrow way many years ago
Hoping I would find true love along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
Wiped my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign pointed straight to you

[Chorus]
Every long lost dream led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart they were like Northern stars
Pointing me on my way into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
(Yes He did)

I think about the years I spent just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan that is coming true.

[Chorus]

Now I'm just rolling home
Into my lover's arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.

That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you.

Casting Crowns - Prodigal

Living on my own, thinking for myself
Castles in the sand, temporary wealth
Walls are falling down, storms are closing in
Tears have filled my eyes, here I am again

And I've held out as long as I can
Now I'm letting go and holding out my hand

Daddy, here I am again
Will You take me back tonight
I went and made the world my friend
And it left me high and dry
I drag Your name back through the mud
That You first found me in
Not worthy to be called Your son
Is this to be my end
Daddy, here I am
Here I am again

Curse this morning sun
Drags me in to one more day
Of reaping what I've sown
Of living with my shame
Welcome to my world
And the life that I have made
Where one day you're a prince
The next day you're a slave

Whitney Houston - Greatest Love of All

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

Everybody's searching for a hero
People need someone to look up to
I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs
A lonely place to be
And so I learned to depend on me

Chorus:
I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone's shadows
If I fail, if I succeed
At least I'll live as I believe
No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity
Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me

The greatest love of all
Is easy to achieve
Learning to love yourself
It is the greatest love of all

I believe the children are our future
Teach them well and let them lead the way
Show them all the beauty they possess inside
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be

[Chorus]

And if, by chance, that special place
That you've been dreaming of
Leads you to a lonely place
Find your strength in love


Ps: What a beautiful and powerful song, if only she could hold on to these lyrics and still be alive.

Corrinne May - Just What I Was Looking For

I’ve been beaten down,
I’ve been left for dead
Had my heart trampled
My soul bled
I have sworn I’d never do it again for Love

I believe romance is innocence
I believe in the power of abstinence
I’m afraid I just don’t have the strength for Love

Chorus:
Give me a sign
This is where I’m meant to be
This is where I belong
Could it be time
To seize the opportunity
Could it be
You were just what I was looking for

Am I mistaken or is that a gleam in your eye
The mystique of wondering what we’ll find
When we risk it all just to collide for Love

You were looking ahead
I was looking back
Didn’t know we were both on that one-way track
Oh the sigh of relief to run to the arms of Love

[Chorus]

I can’t believe I’ve waited so long
To say I love you in the words of a love song
No matter where this road will lead us
Hold my hand, till the end
It’s you that I adore

Nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah

You were just what I was looking for

Michaelangelo & Jasmin Cruz - Dreams Come True

Come with me, and we will fly together
To a place, where we can love forever
Take my hand, and we will see tomorrow
Only joy, and no more tears or sorrow

A love I never knew, until I found you
I promise that I do, believe that dreams come true
Miracles will be, look at you and me
heaven helped us to, believe that dreams come true

In this moment,
filled with deep emotion hold me tight
you'll feel my true devotion

A love I never knew, until I found you
I promise that I do, believe that dreams come true
Miracles will be, look at you and me
Heaven helped us to, believe that dreams come true
Believe that dreams come true.
what a sweet couple :)

Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey - When You Believe

Many nights we've prayed
With no proof anyone could hear
In our hearts a hopeful song
We barely understood

Now we are not afraid
Although we know there's much to fear
We were moving mountains long
Before we knew we could

There can be miracles, when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe

In this time of fear
When prayers so often proves in vain
Hope seems like the summer birds
Too swiftly flown away

Yet now I'm standing here
My heart's so full I can't explain
Seeking faith and speaking words
I never thought I'll say

There can be miracles, when you believe
Though hope is frail, it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe

They don't always happen when you ask
And it's easy to give in to your fears
But when you're blinded by your pain
Can't see the way, get through the rain
A small but still, resilient voice
Says hope is very near

There can be miracles
When you believe
Lord, when you believe
Though hope is frail
It's hard to kill

Who knows what miracles, you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
Somehow you will
You will when you believe

You will when you
You will when you believe
Just believe
I believe, I believe
Just believe
You will when you believe~

FM Static - Dear God

Dear God I wrote this letter
To put my thoughts on paper
Sometimes life seems like a criminal
Without a well planned caper
I know You are the answer
But I forget the question
How do I know You love me
When no one else, seems to care

I've tried everything I thought
Might help me understand things
And it didn't tell me anything
Or even play my heart strings
So I'm writing You this letter
To wait for Your reply
I am so tired of not believing
I'll give You a try

I don't know, but I got this feeling
That today's gonna be my turning point
Everyday I get a little bit closer
It feels so good to finally be over
I don't know, but I think I'm learning
This type of thing
Never been my calling card
Sometimes you just gotta look closer
Instead of searchin' so hard

So when I start to get down
And the world fills up around me
And my head starts spinnin' like a top
From the way my heart beats pounding
I can look up for a second
And know that I'm alright
I spent so long, not believing
It's my turn to fly

I don't know, but I got this feeling
That today's gonna be my turning point
Everyday I get a little bit closer
It feels so good to finally be over
And I don't know, but I think I'm learning
This type of thing, never been my calling card
Sometimes you just gotta look closer
Instead of searchin' so hard
"If I can live only loving God alone, I'll do it."

The Steadfast Love of the Lord

(Mike Fay and Tom Coomes, chorus by Edith McNeill)

As we gather may Your Spirit work within us
As we gather may we glorify Your name
Knowing well that as our hearts begin to worship
We'll be blessed because we came

The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases,
His mercies never come to an end,
They are new every morning, new every morning
Great is Thy faithfulness (Oh Lord)
Great is Thy faithfulness

You have called us by Your Spirit into worship
In this temple You have set our hearts aflame
As we lay our hearts upon Your holy altar
We'll be blessed in Jesus' name

Let us cleanse our hearts as we begin to worship
Let us fill our hearts with love for You and sing
Open up our eyes so we may come to know You
And unto us the Spirit bring

This song is stuck in my mind.

Tenth Avenue North - Healing Begins

So you thought you had to keep this up
All the work that you do
So we think that you're good
And you can't believe it's not enough
All the walls you built up
Are just glass on the outside

So let 'em fall down
There's freedom waiting in the sound
When you let your walls fall to the ground
We're here now

Chorus:
This is where the healing begins, oh
This is where the healing starts
When you come to where you're broken within
The light meets the dark
The light meets the dark

Afraid to let your secrets out
Everything that you hide
Can come crashing through the door now
But too scared to face all your fear
So you hide but you find
That the shame won't disappear

So let it fall down
There's freedom waiting in the sound
When you let your walls fall to the ground
We're here now
We're here now, oh

(Chorus)

Sparks will fly as grace collides
With the dark inside of us
So please don't fight
This coming light
Let this blood come cover us
His blood can cover us

(Chorus)

Corrinne May - Your Song

Silent, wordless
Everything was still
You breathed us, yearned for us
Our hearts began to thrill
A brand new creation
A symphony
Written from above
Written out of Love

Chorus:
Let me be Your instrument
Let me be Your voice
Let me be the reservoir
Where thirsty hearts rejoice
Let me be the hand
That wipes the tears away
Oh Lord,
If it be Your will
Let me be Your Song

A violin, a piano
Each one has a role
Major or minor
Or just a single note
So take the time to stay in tune
Cause we’ll never know
When we’re called to play
It could be today

(Chorus)

A song of hope for the hopeless
A song of comfort for the pain
A song that warms the frozen hear that
It might beat again

For what am I but a single breath
That only You sustain
The less I get in the way,
The more the Master can let the music play

(Chorus)

Oh Lord,
If it be Your will
Let me be Your Song

Libera - Song of Life

There’s a whisper in the dark
As a new life comes to be.
Then a song begins to form
As it finds the harmony.

With a chorus of sound
Of the world all around
Now it blends in the tune
Joining the endless song of life.

We shall never be alone
As we link our hearts in one
Joining voices from above,
All in the miracle of life.
Through the ages we will grow
Only time will ever know,
As our voices magnify,
All in the miracle of life.

Love plays along in our lives yet to come
As we join the song of life.

Now the music starts to build
As the words begin to rhyme
Then another lends a tune
As their voices now combine

With the chorus of sound
Of the world all around
Now they blend their tune
Sharing the endless song of life.

We shall never be alone
As we link our hearts in one
Joining voices from above,
All the miracle of life,
Through the ages we will grow
Only time will ever know,
As our voices magnify,
All in the miracle of life.

Love plays along in our lives yet to come
As we join in the song of life.

As we join in the song of life.

Il Divo and Leona Lewis - Somewhere

There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us somewhere

There's a time for us
Some day a time for us
Time together and time to spare
Time to learn, time to care

Some day, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere

There's a place for us
Somewhere a place for us
Time together and time to spare
Time to learn, time to care

Some day, somewhere
We'll find a new way of living
We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere

Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow, some day
Somewhere

Il Divo and Celine Dion - I Believe in You (Je Crois En Toi)

Lonely, the path you have chosen
A restless road, no turning back
One day you will find your light again
Don't you know
Don't let go be strong

Follow your heart
Let your love lead through the darkness
Back to a place you once knew
I believe, I believe, I believe in you
Follow your dreams
Be yourself, an angel of kindness
There's nothing that you cannot do
I believe, I believe, I believe in you

Tout seul
Tu t'en iras tout seul
Coeur ouvert
A l'univers
Poursuis ta quête
Sans regarder derrière
N'attends pas
Que le jour
Se lève

Suis ton étoile
Va jusqu'où ton rêve t'emporte
Un jour tu le toucheras
Si tu crois, si tu crois, si tu crois
En toi

Suis ta lumière
N'éteins pas la flamme que tu portes
Au fonds de toi souviens-toi
Que je crois, que je crois, que je crois
En toi

English Translation
Alone
You will go alone
with an open heart
to the world
Acheive your quest
Without looking back
Don't wait
For the day
To come

Follow your star
Go wherever your dream leads you
One day you will make it real
If you believe, if you believe, if you believe
In you

Follow the light
Don't let the flame inside of you go out
Inside of you remember
That I believe, I believe, I believe
In you

Someday I'll find you
Someday you'll find me too
And when I hold you close
I know that it's true

Follow your heart
Let your love lead through the darkness
Back to a place you once knew
I believe, I believe, I believe in you
Follow your dreams
Be yourself an angel of kindness
There's nothing that you cannot do
I believe, I believe, I believe in you
I believe, I believe, I believe in you
I believe, I believe, I believe in you

Clay Crosse - I Cannot Hide From You

You have looked into my heart
You know everything about me
You see my deepest thoughts
And every corner of my soul

Each single step I take
And all my words before I speak them
Every place that I have been
And every place that I will go

Chorus:
I cannot hide from You
You know me all too well
There's no story of my life
That Your memory could not tell
I can ride the morning wings
Till I'm completely out of view
But whether in dark or light
I cannot hide from You

Long before I drew first breath
You already knew my secrets
You watched as I was formed
Out of sight from human eyes

Your Spirit is with me
And I am always in Your presence
When I sit and when I stand
When I sleep and when I rise

(Chorus)

Turn my heart from wicked ways
Search the whispers of my mind
And lead me on the road
That will take me home
To everlasting life

(Chorus)

Every moment of my life
I cannot hide from You


*Yes Lord, I can't hide from You.
Beautiful song :) perfectly describes about our Lord.

It Only Takes A Spark

It only takes a spark,
to get a fire going.
And soon all those around,
can warm up it it's glowing.

Chorus:
That's how it is with God's love,
once you've experienced it,
it's fresh like spring,
you want to sing, you want to pass it on.

What a wondrous time is Spring
When all the trees are budding.
The birds begin to sing,
the flowers start their blooming.

[Chorus]

I wish for you my friend
this happiness that I've found
You can depend on Him
It matters not where your bound.

I'll shout it from the mountain tops
I want the world to know
The Lord of Life has come to me
I want to pass it on.

sometimes, it only takes someone who says "I believe in you"
then suddenly you can see the sunshine ray from the dark cloud.

Don Moen - Jesus, we enthrone You

Jesus, we enthrone You
We proclaim You are King
Standing here, in the midst of all
We raise You up with our praise

And as we worship fill the throne
And as we worship fill the throne
And as we worship fill the throne
Come Lord Jesus and take Your place
