It's Not For Nothing:
I need to know beyond a doubt
Where pain is felt, grace abounds
I need to know here and now
Where pain is felt love is found
and that it's not for nothing
no it's not for nothing
There's meaning to all of the suffering
And I need to trust in this I'm offering
And know it's not for nothing
I need to see the reason for
The struggles and the tears I pour
I need to feel a moment of
The consolation yet to come
And that it's not for nothing
no it's not for nothing
There's meaning to all of the suffering
And I need to trust in this I'm offering
And know it's not for nothing
Take my heart to a place
Where it's captured by grace
Oh won't you fill me with faith
When I'm scared keep me safe
When it comes to and end
Never let me forget
That each day of my life is a gift
Help me to know until then
That it's not for nothing
No it's not for nothing
There's meaning to all of the suffering
And I need to trust in this I'm offering and know it's not for nothing
And know it's not for nothing

Strong:
All the hills I have to climb
Are nothing to the mountains that You move
Everything I struggle with
is only everything You want me to
Evil that I’m haunted by
Shows me how to hope in what is true
When I feel like breakin'
I see the reparation that You do
Your ways are above me
So high above me
Love everlasting, more than imagined
When my hope is nearly gone
Your ways are above me
So high above me
Love everlasting, more than imagined
When I’m weak, You make me strong
In You I’m strong! In You I’m strong
When all I hear are endings
You tell me that the best is yet to come
discouraged by my failures
that I know with You, I’ll overcome
Right when I start to think
You don’t love me like before
You hit me with a spirit
That knocks me – flat on the floor
[Chorus]
Why, do I, put all these limits, from my mind
On You, they mean nothing
Cuz you’re even greater than the grave, even greater than the grave
[Chorus (2x)]

Kingdom Come:
My aim is to be like Him, to experience
The power of His graces, pouring over me
To share in His suff’rings, full of righteousness
Oh Spirit come upon me
And His kingdom come
And His kingdom come
Everything I wanted, wasn’t what I thought
Chasing after feelings, to fill the void inside
After He had touched me, all I needed was
Jesus to stay with me
And His kingdom come
His kingdom come
And His kingdom come
His kingdom come
All I need is heavenly
All I need is heavenly
And I will be, soon enough
In His kingdom come
His kingdom come
In His kingdom come
His kingdom come (2x)

Teach Me How To Pray
Lord my God I call, for help, by day
I cry out in the night, for You
Let my prayer come before You, incline Your ear to my cry
For my soul is full of trouble, but through You alone I am new
Teach me how to pray
Teach me how to pray
Teach me how to hear You
Teach me how to pray
Let my prayer be counted, as incense, before You
And lifting up of my hands, a surrender of my soul
Guard the doors of my mouth, of my lips, oh Lord
When my spirit is faint, You know, my way
[Chorus]
For You alone, my soul waits in silence
For my hope, is in You...in You Lord
You are my rock, You're my salvation
You're my fortress, I shall not be shaken, not be shaken
[Chorus]
Lord my God, I call

I am listening
I am listening, to Your word
To Your every sound, that’s placed on my soul
I am listening to Your voice
To Your whispering, that moves this heart
Here I am, come and rescue me
Wash my sin, with your mercy
I am listening, show me Your way
Path to righteousness, blazed by love
I am listening, author of me
Write Your endless love on my restless heart
Here I am, come and rescue me
Wash my sin, with Your mercy
Here I am
I want to know You more (2x)
I am listening to Your voice
To Your whispering, that moves this heart
Here I am, come and rescue me
Wash my sin, with Your mercy

Broken Hearted:
I thought that I could always be strong
But all I feel’s alone
Who knew it could be this hard?
When the greater heart has come and gone away
Away
It’s not like I don’t talk to Him
It’s like I don’t belong
I don’t want to finish this verse
Cuz all I hear is the song of the broken hearted…
The song of the broken hearted
It’s like he knows just what I’m thinking
Going after all my weaknesses
Weaknesses
Now I can’t control my feelings
I say I don’t need Him, but I know I’m wrong
So I’m stuck here singing the song of the broken hearted…
The song of the broken hearted
I know His love, will make me whole,
and lead me home, He knows the way
All I need, is to open my heart again,
cuz I want to stop
[Chorus (2x)]

Division of the Heart
When you think you’ve got it all together, and you never do
When you act live you’re gonna live forever, and it’s never true
It’s never true
If selflessness is all you miss, then that is where you start
For your mouth speaks right out, the abundance of the heart
The abundance of the heart
Lives can come apart
At the division of the heart
No black or white
Just 1000 shades of grey
And even when you’re lost
He’ll help you find your way
What are you gonna say?
What are you gonna say?
You see a poor man in the cold, are you moved within your soul?
Or do you cut across the road and quickly walk away?
Oh do you walk away?
Do you look at someone else, before you see yourself?
How quick are we to always judge, but never take the blame?
Why won’t we take the blame?
[Chorus]
We always feel the need to justify
When our actions are not right, but if we realize
We’re never any better than our enemies or friends,
Clarity is ours again
[Chorus]
