so many lyrics

maybe because worship is what i was made for...maybe because of the season i'm in...maybe a little of both. i find myself overwhelmed by the hope and truth in the songs i've been hearing. the sounds of heaven, the words of the Father, breathing into my brokenness and filling every space with love.

below is a collage of lyrics that are speaking deeply to me as i walk through the darkness, led and held by the hand of a kind, gentle, and gracious Father.

there will be no one like You, and no one beside You.

You alone are worthy of all praise.

~ i will exalt (bethel live's be lifted high)

it's rising, it's rising, a song of hope from us set free, it's rising

it's rising, it's rising up. hallelujah, to you God of the redeemed.

~ God of the redeemed (bethel live's be lifted high)

we have gathered, with one thirst and hunger

we're here to drink of Your glory and wonder

here to cry out, come and fill this place.

we wait for You to come and show Your glory here today.

we wait for You! Hallelujah come!

~ one thirst (bethel live's be lifted high)

Your love never fails, never gives up, never runs out on me.

~ one thing remains (bethel live's be lifted high)

His love is deep, His love is wide and it covers us.

His love is fierce, His love is strong it is furious.

His love is sweet, His love is wild and it's waking hearts to life.

~ furious (bethel live's be lifted high)

we're falling into deeper waters, calling out to You.

we're walking into deeper waters, going after You.

~ deep cries out (bethel live's be lifted high)

my hope is in You God

i am steadfast, i will not be moved

i'm anchored, never shaken

my hope is in You.

~ hope's anthem (bethel live's be lifted high)

with everything, with everything

we will shout for Your glory

with everything, with everything

we will shout forth Your praise

woah

~ with everything (hillsong)

holy are You God, holy is Your Name

with everything i've got

my heart will sing, how i love You.

~ beautiful exchange (hillsong)

don't leave your joy behind, no matter what you find.

~ don't leave your joy (chloe leavers)

fiercely goes the night, i will fear no thing.

i'll kneel down before the King.

i will make it through the woods and i will make it home.

even though there are many voices whispering in the night

even though this darkest darkness tries to steal my light

i will make it home, holding onto Your hand.

~ rhoist i'n oleuni (chloe leavers)

You really do take care of me.

You take off my heavy boots and You wear them for me.

~ heavy boots (chloe leavers)

Jesus, i belong to You

take my life, all my days

with open hands, i come to You

in my life, have Your way.

~ Jesus reign (josh fox)

the heavens declare the glory of the Lord

and we will proclaim 'forever we are Yours'

mighty is our God.

the heavens declare the glory of Your Name

and we will rejoice forever we will sing

mighty is our God.

~ mighty is our God (josh fox)

all things new

hope and love change everything.

somewhere

somewhere in all of this, you see me.

somewhere in all of this, you love me

but my heart is torn

and i don't understand

why such brokenness is part of your plan.

it burns so deep

i feel desperate to run

but somewhere in all of this, i know you are not done.

your healing is coming.

it's coming now.

you promised me freedom

though i can't see the "how"

you remain faithful

and relentless with love

you call out my name

and whisper "look up"

your patient hands hold me

while mine beat your chest

and in the deep space of brokenness

you come with sweet rest

i know i can trust you

though my heart is afraid

but somewhere in all of this, i know you are safe.

and so i step forward

with trembling feet

hoping that in the depths

our faces will meet.

that you'll bring complete healing

to all of my wounds

restoring my soul

making all things new

i break off the lies

and all of the fear

and ask that your voice

be all that i hear.

i am desperate for freedom

restoration and life

and somewhere in all of this, i know they are mine.
