When the storm tries to drown out my praise When the fear tries to distract my gaze When the world tries to lower my face When the chaos tries to blow me away  I will sing louder at the top of my lungs Will shout the words of the songs I’ve sung Point my life to Him and all He’s done There is only one God there‘s only one Hallelujah I lift up Your name Hallelujah I will shout Your fame  Blessed Savior You overcame Now I can walk boldly in faith So I’ll never stop singing never stop praising Won’t stop lifting up the name of the King Won’t be silenced my worship I will bring Hallelujah Your praise and glory I sing When the wind tries to bring me to my feet When the enemy tries to remind of my defeat When my head and my hands they meet When the waves try to overcome me

Good morning Daddy it’s a beautiful day The sun is shining our journey is on its way I grab Your hand and we take our first step With You next to me fear runs to the left When I am with You joy fills my heart May we always walk together never apart You are the One who leads me to still water I am Your child and You are my Father Every step I take is in sync with You my King I am never ever alone because You’re with me Even in the quiet spaces and lonely places You’re beside me to calm my heart as it races Every day is more time to spend with just us When I walk on my path it is treacherous Forgive me for walking steps away from You I surrender and jump back on the road with You You are holy and worthy regardless of my vision All I can see is fear and doubt there is collision Remove the blinders that these have given me This life is not mine but I live for Your glory

Do you remember the day God saved you Is it something you think about often Can you remember anything before then I remember being last with no sense of purpose With eyes so selfish so broken so depressed Not able to find the strength to get out bed But then at the right time He called me out Pulled my heart out of the grave into grace Showered mercies and love over all of me Removed the blinders from my selfish eyes Softened my hardened and stubborn heart Erased all the sins of my past with His blood Made me a new creation with no purpose Empowered me to tell my story to the world Gave me direction and called me His own Had a reason to get out of bed every morning Filled me with such joy, peace, hope, and love I was no longer worthless but a worthy vessel Cuz I was now a daughter of the Most High God

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

Humbly approach His throne and lay myself down Burdened with sin and guilt it's weighing me down I repent and I feel the weight falling at my side Blood covers my sins and I am clothed in white No longer a slave to my past my present my sin Through victory in Christ I am a new creation again I lift my eyes and I see grace and mercy flow And I see love poured out and continue to grow My Savior with nail scars on His hands and His feet He says that these marks are of love for me I can barely breathe or comprehend His love But He has defeated death and sin it is done Took my place when I deserved the admission to hell But I saw the love of Christ and in love I fell Brought back to life no longer feeling death inside He offered me salvation and a ticket to eternal life How could I say no to this undeserving love and grace He loved me before I loved Him or even knew His face I stand in freedom with broken chains by my feet Cuz Christ's deat...

You see beauty where I see none Chose me when I wasn’t worth it Captured my heart when I was undone Rescued me from all I’d done Open my eyes to see What You see in me Open my heart to receive What You have for me Cuz face to face is where We will be one day You call me Yours when I feel shame And tell me You erased all of it You tell me You love me by name I am home and will never cry again

What will disrupt your self centered lifestyle How will God pull You out of Your own head And bring You to Himself if your head has caved into itself All you can see is yourself and nothing else How can a blind man suddenly see the world You say with such conviction that there is no God But have you ever tried to look for Him or seek Him out If the answer is no then how can you speak so bluntly Look at the seasons the order of fall winter spring and summer Not chaos not random but by the order of God Look at the human body the many systems working cohesively Created by a God who intricate wove you into existence Look at the sky has there ever been a day without the sun Or a night without the radiance of the moon No cuz God created them and the timing is perfect for what we need Now I could write a million examples but have you researched Have you genuinely tried to look out of your spoon fed culture To realize that the God who created all of these...
