Healing Begins
Lyrics by: Tenth Avenue North

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

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

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

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

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

What Faith Can Do
Lyrics by: Kutless

.....

I've seen dreams that move the mountains,
hope that doesn't ever end,
even when the sky is falling
I've seen miracles just happen
silent prayers get answered
broken hearts become brand new
thats what faith can do..

It doesn't matter what you've heard
Impossible is not a word
its just a reason for someone not to try..

everybody's scared to death
when they decide to take that step
out on the water
but it will be alright.

Life is so much more than what your eyes are seeing
you will find your way
if you keep believing.

I've seen dreams that move the mountains,
hope that doesn't ever end,
even when the sky is falling
I've seen miracles just happen
silent prayers get answered
broken hearts become brand new
thats what faith can do..

when the world says you can't

it will tell you that you can.
...
That's what faith can do.​

Before the Morning
Lyrics by: Josh Wilson

Do you wonder why you have to
Feel the things that hurt you?
If there's a God who loves you

Where is He now?


Or maybe there are things you can't see
And all those things are happening
To bring a better ending

Someday, somehow you'll see,
you'll see
Would you dare, would you dare to believe
That you still have a reason to sing?

'Cause the pain that you've been feeling
It can't compare to the joy that's coming
So hold on, you gotta wait for the light
Press on and just fight the good fight

'Cause the pain that you've been feeling
It's just the dark before the morning
My friend, you know how this all ends
And you know where you're going
You just don't know how you'll get there
So say a prayer
And hold on

'Cause there's good for those who love God
But life is not a snapshot
It might take a little time, but you'll see the bigger picture


Would you dare, would you dare to believe
That you still have a reason to sing?

Jesus Is Alive
Lyrics by: Josh Wilson


Sin you have no sting
Hell you have no power
Curse you are no more
this is your final hour

because the son of God
has not left us alone
he'll live and die and rise again
and then he'll bring us home

the old will pass away
and then we will become new
this baby boy is making all
sad things untrue.

Noel Noel Jesus is Alive
Emmanuel Hope is here tonight
So go and tell the world that
death has died.

I forgive you
for being a butthead..

but seriously
i forgive you
i love you​

that just means I forgive you

It doesn't mean I'm trying to be with you
So you don't have to get freaked out by me..

...I don't know what to say..

letting go is best I guess​

am I surprised
that I should cry?
no...I didn't cry
I was impatient and antagonized you and got what I deserved
I guess.

It's not your fault.

It just gets too hard sometimes
with the things you can imagine.

it just..hurts being without that's all.

I don't like being played with


my heart hurts right now


​

Just let me go
and I promise I will never bother
or Harass you

I'll stop writing here I promise.
Im not even going to go see you..
..I was, but I think It'd be too crazy.

I know you want to move on
go ahead.
Just let me go.

If that's what you really want...

You aren't going to chase me
remember?

Don't fight for this
Don't hold onto me
if you don't really want it
..cause I do..

...cause I can't do this alone.

be strong or move on.​

why exactly am I a threat to you?

To anyone?

why hurt me

what have I really done to you?

All Im doing is talking

because this is a spiritual matter

And I need an answer

As to why you keep coming back to me..


If there is freedom in what you do

To 'do what you will'

why the big secret ?

..maybe because you aren't really free.

Maybe because its a lie

That the light keeps exposing.

Maybe it's time

for you to wake up

to the truth.

I trust in God alone, Jesus is Lord forever reigning in my heart
He will never leave me nor forsake me
and his grip on me is stronger

Even If
lyrics by: Kutless

Sometimes all we have to hold on to
Is what we know is true of who You are
So when the heartache hits like a hurricane
That could never change who You are
And we trust in who You are


Even if the healing doesn’t come
And life falls apart
And dreams are still undone
You are God You are good
Forever faithful One
Even if the healing
Even if the healing doesn’t come


Lord we know Your ways are not our ways
So we set our faith in who You are
Even though You reign high above us
You tenderly love us
We know Your heart
And we rest in who You are


Even if the healing doesn’t come
And life falls apart
And dreams are still undone
You are God You are good
Forever faithful One
Even if the healing
Even if the healing doesn’t come


You’re still the Great and Mighty One
We trust You always
You’re working all things for our good
We’ll sing your praise


Even if the healing doesn’t come
And life falls apart
And dreams are still undone
You are God You are good
Forever faithful One
Even if the healing
Even if the healing doesn’t come


You are God and we will bless You
As the Good and Faithful One
You are God and we will bless You
Even if the healing doesn’t come
Even if the healing doesn’t come

My forever questions - the prisoner
by: Lowanla (me)


what exactly am I doing wrong?

That I am not good enough for you.

Because that's really the truth now isn't it.


oh yes would it be that

I could move on

into another's arms,


If I didn't feel spiritually attached

Then maybe it wouldn't feel so wrong.


Is it because I am not gone?

I am still here.

What exactly am I doing so wrong

besides being me.


How do you define happy?

is there any sort of control

or manipulation involved..

How do you define love?

in chains and hidden..​

Maybe I'm being
a bit melodramatic about things.

Loneliness can feel like a prison.
Fear can feel like a bondage in chains.

thoughts can be the bars that keep me back.

"What if they don't..?"

So we don't.

Then anger becomes the food we eat.

We try to get angry,

we try to hate,

we try to push away.

Only making us sick.

Cause we don't want to hate.

It doesn't really help, just makes things worse.

"need nourishment...so hungry..."

Assurance.

Just a little assurance to make it through the day.

To know, I have to know.

Happiness to get me through the day.

Love to break my cold numb heart so I can

miss you.

I'm missing my other side..

where is he..?

What if I went into the storm

looking for you..?

What if I went into the darkness

to find you..?

​

Shock Value

So you think what you say

or how you act adds any shock or surprise to me.

You've all done everything..

how much more shocked am I suppose to get?


...where do I begin..

Would you like me to tell you how brave you really sound?

There is no point...

​

I told you to let me go..

If you hate God

then you hate me.

If you want me

You are going to get God..

Cause God is wherever I go.

Let me go..

let me go

let me go..

and I won't try to fix this mess..​

actually no...

I won't try to fix this mess

...cause I am not the one whose hiding..

let me go.​

let me go...

go run with them

cause they want you

they know whats "best for you"

and they see your side of the story

the whole world is on your side

the thousand against one

one by myself

no one is on my side...

...let me go.
​

Before you go on your God hating rant

on how bad I treated you

remember that I waited for you,

I endured your shame,

I felt the flame,

I was frozen and threatened

(I think I should have died a couple of times there)

I was hurt,

and when you needed me,

I received you

I did my best not to complain,

I tried to understand,

I let you be with me

when you needed me..

even when you mistreated me..

I was there.

you took my peace and I took your pain and fire.

...before you go on your rant


...go ahead.

Tell the world how cruel I was to you..

Tell Them!

I'm the worst person you hate!​

..just let me go.

they are right about me.

Everything every name

they say about me.

Don't hold onto me..

..

please stop holding onto me...

don't hold onto me.

I'm not worth your time.
​

..please just..let me go..

go ahead and agree with them.​
