  I'm not looking for my name in lights Not wishing on any starlit nights There's only one I want to praise Wanna show the world His name His name is Savior King He's the reason I sing No other name I'll proclaim Jesus what a beautiful name I wasn't made for song and stage Wasn't my place to be that way There's only one I want to praise Wanna be less so He can be great Never wanted to be on the screen Want people to see Christ not me Theres only one I want to praise Wanna my Lord to receive the fame Lift up His name For He is great Let Him receive the fame

  I look down at these hands cupped before me And I think how could these be used for His glory How can i make a fraction of a difference here When the clouds of doubts surround me with fear Why do I think that I can do what others can That somehow I cant and theyre superman I want to have the faith to move mountains For people to experience God's love like fountains I want the confidence in my God to make blind see To heal the sick and help the captives run free For others to see Christ in the way that I smile But have the boldness to push for the extra mile To not be held back by my own insecurities And not blinded by the thwarting of the enemy But to have daring faith that is willing to stand

  If you told I could have the world If you told me I could have it all If you told me I could run this place I would laugh out loud right in your face I wouldnt trade a day on this earth For a moment spent with my Jesus I wouldn't want to taste a thing more If it meant more time spent with Him I am hungry for Him Need my daily bread I am thirsty for Him Need my living water When I am without Him I am in need A day without and I am already craving The withdrawals from Him so evident I don't want to be in any kind of deficit

  Even when the storms last a long time I am found in you and you are my supply in every season  Come what may Lord be my everything not be just a song that's sung but a daily anthem of truth That brings light and rings truth over my circumstances for in You I am full I no longer need to fill my time with worldly desires my flesh needs to starve So that my soul may feast and bask in your love please God break down the walls I keep building up Release me from the shackles I keep putting my hands and feet because I am set free Remove anything in me and in my life that isn't of you and allow me to be okay If I need to be trimmed or operated on in order for that to be so then let it be Allow my heart to know that even though this may hurt that pain is only temporary But the eternal reward is far greater than any earthly loss whatever it takes please let it be I only want you and I only need you and if that means I have to walk alone for awhile With just You and me then so be it if...

  God I'm a cheater I've cheated on you more times than I can count Too long I've allowed myself to let other things get in the way of our relationship I've let the lies of this world surround me like a head inside a hornets nest Blinded by the stings that this world has to offer I have allowed the lies to become truths Truths that consume my thoughts so deeply that I can't see that you're working in my life I've lost sight of your handiwork and have begun to believe the filthy rags That I keep trying to use those rags to clean up the mess I find myself in I keep digging deeper into my own depression only to find more dirt and more filth Leading me into further depressing thoughts that cloud my judgment and my eyes From seeing the reality of what you are doing in my life and how you are moving My own insecurities and the monsters in my closet seem to be knocking me down every time I find myself standing on my feet pressure seems to build and just when life h...

  Look to You in the calm of the day and the chaos in the night You've given me grace and mercy you've won my hearts fight Surrender isn't something so easily given up for me But in my lacking I find pain and misery My desperation for you is like a runner out of breath Because without You I am bound to eternal death God I need You when life is in abundance And when my joy seems to be in absence Your beauty all around if I only open my eyes I miss out on your opportunities cuz I'm blind When I run out of reasons to forgive myself You remind me of the price of me on the cross You make the most broken pieces beautiful And fill my empty moments and make them full I am in desperation In need of restoration Lord intervene I give myself in consecration This life in dedication Lord for Your glory This life paid by Your life Who am I to serve otherwise Give all I am for You alone Creator of brokeness whole Show me ways to bring you praise

  I look down at these hands cupped before me And I think how could these be used for His glory How can i make a fraction of a difference here When the clouds of doubts surround me with fear Why do I think that I can do what others can That somehow I cant and theyre superman I want to have the faith to move mountains For people to experience God's love like fountains I want the confidence in my God to make blind see To heal the sick and help the captives run free For others to see Christ in the way that I smile But have the boldness to push for the extra mile To not be held back by my own insecurities And not blinded by the thwarting of the enemy But to have daring faith that is willing to stand No matter what the cost I live for the King not man Even if I am called foolish or Im the only one there I want to make His name famous and not care If the whole world reject me or I am alone To know my rewards in heaven my Daddy sits on a throne To look fear in the face and remind it that ...

  Come away with me I wanna show you my glory Come away with me Because I want you to know me Come away come away with me I know everything about you Things you don't realize you do How you really feel when you're new How desperately you want one to know you Here's my invitation I'm handing out  Run into my arms no shadows no doubt Fall at my feet come see what I'm about Your voice no longer silenced stand up shout Come away with me I wanna show you your beauty Come run away with me Want my love to shine brightly Come away come away with me Taste how good that I am for you Come see the amazing things I have to Just be still know that I'm God and I do Wanna give you the desires of your heart too

  Spirit you give me power and you give me strength You are near to me closer than my very next breath You're the still small voice that leads me towards righteousness You show me the way even in my doubtful mess You bind my wandering heart to the path you chose for me So I might become the carrier of your love and glory You give me gifts to use to bless your people here So that people will step out in faith not restrained by fear But will bring the world the salvation that it craves Jesus is waiting for them to see they need to be saved People don't realize how trapped they are Because they believe the lies people placed on their heart Those voids were made to perfectly fit everything he has Freedom is better than staying stuck where you're at This life has so many blessings all you have to do is receive Turn from the hole you've dug and come experience peace His love is not based on anything that you could do He died to take your place that's how much He loves you...

Lord too long and too many lies I've told myself I have them written in a book and placed on my hearts shelf Lies that I've allowed to become truths in this life Instead of ripping them to shreds and cutting them with a knife But no I allow myself to wallow in its dark pools And instead of being wiser I'm left to be the fool The roots of these lie in the past too painful to release Snuck into my mind and slowly stolen my peace Nightmares and restless sleep have become to familiar to me The lies have suctioned onto my mind like a leech Suffocating the very breath I need in order to live Hindering me from taking a step no energy to give These lies have become a tattoo and a staple on my heart To even consider letting them go might rip me apart But no longer can I spend another sleepless night And of course I couldn't defeat this even if I tried Lord I reach out to you and cry out for you to rescue me Rip away the lies that have been strangling me Tear apart the lies of wo...
