God You're the key to every locked door Cuz You're the only One who opens them When a door stays closed You know why Cuz You've got something better in store Too often I think You don't hear my prayers But You hear every prayer I've ever prayed Even the ones in the deepest of pains You hear the cries and tell me just wait I have something better in store for you If You'll just trust Me I will open a door And that if a door is never opened It is not in my will for Your life or right now Remember everything I do is for My glory And everything has a purpose you cant see I hold the world in My hands and see it all So trust Me I know what's good for you And that I only want what's best for you Cuz You are My beloved and You are mine I loved you enough to send My Son in your place Put Your trust in Me who never fails or changes Whose track record is absolutely perfect

  I Love You Because I Love You It doesn’t take much to realize the gift of Your love There’s nothing I could do to earn any of it Yet here we are and You pour Your love over me Your love is not based on me but on You God It is based on who You are and what You’ve done Because I know I haven’t accomplished anything Thank You that Your affection is based on Your goodness Because I am a sinner, selfish and not good Thank You that it’s not about my performance But that it is about my position as Your daughter Nothing I’ve done to deserve this affection But You cover me in Your sweet and kind love When I was knee deep in my sin You pulled me out Said I love you and I’ve loved before You knew me I remember the day I created you hand knit you I died in Your place so that you could be free No longer covered in the filth of your sin But I took on you sins so that I could clean you My love is unconditional meaning it doesn’t depend on you I love you because I love you nothing else

I see Your beauty in every face that I meet Every person shows the uniqueness of all that You are We each look like You designed in Your image Beautifully handcrafted by the Artist Himself With a seal of Your signature that we are Yours One of a kind masterpiece made by the King Your creativity radiates out of us as we create We are able to exude Your majesty to the world We have all been given gifts to bring You fame What a joy to bring Your glory to the masses Let us never stop worshipping the King of the world Speak out about the goodness of the Father May our lives be a radiant light pointing to Him May we never lose sight of Your grace and love That each day is a gift we have been given Each breath is another chance to speak out To celebrate all that You have done for us You call us worthy in our complete and total lacking You call us righteous and holy how can it be We know it’s not because of us but You You’re the reason for every new

Lord I love our time spent together  When I jump up into Your lap And I get to sit in Your presence Like a child I sit at Your feet Waiting to hear from You Hear words from my Daddy I love our moments alone The times when it’s just us When we can talk about life And Abba Father You listen You’re never far away from me Closer than the air I breathe  You’re with me every step of the way Each and every moment of every day I love our daily walks together Walking next to You every step Laughing and crying together  You are with me wherever I go You’re with me when I work Both driving to and from  You’re with me in the mornings And all during the day time You’re with me when I sleep You never stop walking with me

We don’t have to fear what lies ahead For He already knows We don’t have to doubt who He is Because we already know He’s the God who parted the sea He’s the God who created everything He’s been good and He’s be there Never left us He’s everywhere Hallelujah we’ve never been alone We don’t have to worry about tomorrow Because the Lord is already there We don’t have to fear anymore For the Lord holds the world in His hands

Jesus sees you and knows your weakness Your sickness your blindness and paralysis Even in a crowd of people Jesus is aware of you He knows the cries of your heart and is attuned to us His ears perk up when we cry out to Him He hears even the deepest of heart’s cry The moanings that don’t even make sound  He commands the impossible and makes all things possible Our journey may be long and treacherous  But He is the God who remains near to us Holds us and walks with us on this path

Casting  I am casting my cares on You O Lord This burden is much to heavy to carry I lay my worries and cares at the cross So I can freely walk in Your freedom I surrender I surrender Lay all of me down I am set free set free Running into grace now I am running with my arms wide open Singing praises at the top of my lungs Hallelujah to the King of all my days Thank You O Lord for all this grace I am calling out to You my God Wanting to be all I’ve been called No more fear here no more doubt Help me Lord I am reaching out I surrender I surrender Give You all that I am I’m forgiven forgiven Give every breath I can

God You’re holding me in Your arms as we speak And You’ve got me all wrapped up tight Close to Your heart and in Your embrace As You whisper sweet truths in my ear As I allow myself to slowly fall asleep You sing sweet melodies as I dream You whisper sweet blessings over me Hold me close to Your hearts beat And You watch over me as I sleep In the peace that passes all understanding You sing beautiful songs of love over me You remind me of Your never ending love I can rest in Your sweet and calming embrace And can drift off to sleep as You sing

You were there when I took my first breath You’ll see all the breaths I will ever take And You’ll be there when I take my last one God thank You that You’re always here Watched me take my first step and then fall Heard me speak my first word and gibberish You saw me walk for the very first time You’ve been there through the ups and downs Picked me up when I have fallen down Every minute of my life You’ve written My story You already know the ending You know everything that’s gonna happen From my first breath to my last You’ve been there

Jesus You have overcome it all So how can I fear the unknown I cling to You and take heart Because You hold my future Trials and tribulations will come But You have already overcome Fear and doubt there’s the door You’re not welcome anymore Jesus conquered you once forever So there’s no room for you ever Jesus You took upon the cross Died in my place and rose again Death defeated grace empty Chains were broken lives healed Freedom was offered to us here Because You overcame it all

The Lord will work out His plans for my life What then shall I fear? How then can I doubt? His love is a faithful love that endures forever If He is faithful then why do I still worry? Why do I let anxiety cave in on me? How weak is my trust and foolish my mind To forget that You’re in complete control Every moment that happens is known by You You’ve written every piece of my life’s story And yet here I am doubting and fearing Worrying and anxious but for what Nothing will happened outside of Your hand The plan for my life You already know I surrender all that I am to You King Jesus Lay all of me at Your feet to be used for You Erase my fears and remove my doubts Remind me once again who You are As my mind deceives me and eyes are blind You are God please take the steering wheel Lead me where I am to go and what You have  The Lord will work out his plans for my life— for your faithful love, O Lord, endures forever. Don’t abandon me, for y

Awaken my soul and trust in the Lord Because He has renewed our strength Lean into Him my weary troubled soul And press on towards the heavenly prize Don’t you stop don’t quit keep going No mountain too high to stop His will No valley too low to keep me trapped But continue pursue His plan for us Because He never stops pursuing us Rise and stand for today has new mercies The Son is here with us on the journey There’s nothing to fear or worry about He’s holding your hands and leading us You are not alone but you are known Trust that this is the path set before you God has extraordinary plans for us So surrender the grip you have on your life And release your tightly gripped hand Allow God to place His hand in yours And lead you into the promised land 

Lord I worship You with all that I am Face to the floor heart abandoned to You I can’t bow myself low enough to praise Can’t raise my hands high enough to You Oh King Jesus there aren’t enough words To describe how amazing that You are Words fall so short to describe Your greatness I could sing praises all day long day and night And I would never run out of things to say With all that I am may it bring You glory Every breath both inhale and exhale Every heart beat both the lub and the dub And everything movement to and fro Be used to exalt the name of Jesus Adoration for all that You’ve done Reverence because of who You are Honor for the great things You’re doing May I elevate you with every inch of me Shouting and proclaiming Your goodness

Too many thoughts are running through my mind So many that it has started to take up all my time People saying one thing and others something else How do I determine the truth when everything smells I am reminded that all fear was killed on a cross And that the power of love paid for my own costs So fear you won’t cripple me and the path I’m walking Won’t silence me from the truth and won’t stop talking I seek You first my God and my King You are truth and so I will bring All of me and I lay fear at Your feet So that You replace it with Your peace You have overcome all fear and buried it alive So that I can live without fear and can thrive Peace is what I’ve exchanged my fear for I walk with confidence as I gain more and more
