Song Lyrics from "Shelter"

Hear Me Calling

Open the doors of heaven
Shine on us in this place
Let us behold the beauty of your face
Teach us a new communion
Closer with every prayer
Showing us all Your glory that is there

Hear me calling out your name, Hear me calling
Hear me calling out your name, hear me calling
You are the Lord...

Open the doors of heaven
Here is the key to my heart
Take my old nature, tear it right apart
With all my inmost being
I will live in your truth
Here me oh lord I?m calling out to you

Hear me calling out your name, Hear me calling
Hear me calling out your name, hear me calling
You are the Lord, Jesus my Lord
You are the Lord, Jesus my Lord

Where Will I Run

Been on the run to long
Trying to get away from you
Trying to find a way
Of doing it on my own

Then I looked at the stars
And I see you,
I look at the mountains and the sea
At the end of the day
Its all there just for me

So where will I run?
I'll run to you
Where will I hide?
I'll hide in you
Where will I be?
I'll be in you
For as long as you're by my side
I've got something I can't deny
You are who you are
You're right here in front of me

The mystery of your grace
Brings me to my knees
Your everlasting love
Your patience with me

Then I looked at the stars
And I see you
I look at the mountains and the sea
At the end of the day
It's all there just for me

So where will I run?
I'll run to you
Where will I hide?
I'll hide in you
Where will I be?
I'll be in you
For as long as you're by my side
I've got something I can't deny
You are who you are
You're right here in front of me

My words are at a loss
To tell you how I feel
My soul aches to understand
The meaning of it all
I long to touch you, like you touch me
I want to know you, like you know me
I feel the touch of your embrace
Like a father with his newborn baby child

So where will I run...

Isn't He Amazing?

Isn't He amazing?
Steady and unchanging
Isn't He amazing?
His love covers all
He knows all my needs
He knows all my wants

Intimately He gives all I receive intimately
He knows what I need
When trouble comes I believe
He's molding and shaping my way
I look to the cross and receive my daily gift I say

Try as I might I can't roll back the years
And try as I might I can't hold back the tears

G.R.A.C.E.

You know me
You know my heart
You've touched me
You've set me apart
Your mercy, surround me
Your love restores my soul

My life was in tatters
And I didn't know how to fly
Then You picked me up
And carried me on eagles wings
When I look up all I can see is your cross

And I get
God's riches at Christs expense
God's riches at Christs expense

It's a debt I could never repay
Jesus you took my sin and washed it away

Stand

When you know from the deepest part of your soul
That He gave you more than you'll ever know
Then stand
C'mon make a stand
When you can't get past the fact
That you can't make it on your own
When you know without a doubt that you're not alone Then stand
C'mon make a stand

Stand for mystery stand for the way
Stand for the wonder of His grace
Stand for the One who won't let go
Stand for the one who stands alone
Make a break from whatever is holding you down
If it's all you can do, please do stand

If you're tired of sitting down on the fence
Tired and looking for that second chance
Then stand
C'mon make a stand
If it's to let go of the reins
Time to let Jesus rule your heart again
Then stand
C'mon make a stand

Stand for mystery...

It's time for us to make a difference now
It's time to move out with some faith
Take this sense of urgency you feel within your soul tonight
Take a stand for what you believe

Stand for mystery...

Shine On Me

You are my strength, you're my life
Through the day and through the night
You are my source of hope
My source of life, let me be
A shining light

Shine on me Jesus shine on me
Let the world see, your light in me
And give you glory, shine on me

So you let your light shine
And your love flow
Because where you lead me, I will go
You are my source of hope,
My source of life, let me be a shining light

Shine on me Jesus, shine on me
Let the world see, your light in me
And give you glory, shine on me

Father of grace and mercy please
Roll back the clouds that block your presence from me
You were crucified and you died
But you rose again glorified
The price was paid in full and all was done
By your son, come shine on me

Shine on me...

All you Need

Sometimes life just seems so unfair
Misery here, despair there
Some can't seam to catch a break
Some can't lose make no mistake
That my heart breaks when you are down
Yes my heart aches for you to come around

You'll never know Jesus is all you need
Until Jesus is all you have

Oh my my, it seems we've missed it again
Majored on the minors and forget our friends
There's wounded hearts in this place tonight
Sons and daughters broken by lying alibis

Yet my heart breaks when you are down
Yet my hear aches for you to come around

You'll never know Jesus is all you need
Until Jesus is all you have

So listen up close I've got good news my friend
Jesus lived here He's experienced it
You were bought with a price that I cannot explain
His hand-scarred forgiveness he offers again

Because his heart breaks when you are down
Yes his heart aches for you to come around

You'll never know Jesus is all you need
Until Jesus is all you have
You'll never know Jesus is all you need
Until Jesus is all you have

Jesus Be

Lord you're wonderful, almighty God
Creator of all things
You have brought me to
Your throne of grace, unto your throne I bring
My humanness, my brokenness
My body of unbelief
In the disease of my humanity
All I can pray is
Jesus Be

Be my shelter, be my strength
In my weakness, a hiding place
Be my source, for everything
Jesus Be

Be my healer, be my health
In my poverty, be my wealth
Be my source, for everything
Jesus Be

Unfailing Love (One Of Them)

Though you moved my world
I fear I must confess
For I fear what I've become
Is simply one of them
How they walked in the sand and lived their days
Without a care in the world but still they said
Where is our God? I can't see him now
I remember not, but still somehow

Your unfailing love has never failed me yet
Your faithfulness I soon forget
As I fall prey to my old self
Pick me up, and hold me once again
Your unfailing love has never failed me yet
Your faithfulness I soon forget
As I fall prey to my old self
Pick me up, and hold me once again

In their life as in mine, In my daily life you give
You've shown your love divine
In you I want to live
Though you've moved my world
I fear I must confess
For I fear what I've become
Is simply one of them
How we walk in the sand and live our days
Without a care in the world but still we say
Where is our God? I can't see him now
I remember not, but still somehow

Your unfailing love has never failed me yet
Your faithfulness I soon forget
As I fall prey to my old self
Pick me up, and hold me once again
Your unfailing love has never failed me yet
Your faithfulness I soon forget
As I fall prey to my old self
Pick me up, and hold me once again
