Come After Me

Lyrics

Verse 1:
If you would follow me
You must lay down your life
Take up your cross, and count as loss
Your glory and your pride

Verse 2:
The riches of this world
All power and human praise
Will slip like sand, right through your hands
But my love will remain

Chorus:
Come, come after me, come after me
Don’t lose your life trying to save it
I know it’s hard but it’s worth it, you’ll see
Come after me

Verse 3:
If you would follow me
My way leads first to death
But then to life, my risen life
To lasting joy and rest

I’m the treasure in the field
You must sell your all to buy
But the riches there, beyond compare
It makes the cost seem light

Chorus

Tag (5x):
If I am anything, I must be everything
Come after me

Don’t Want to Miss Your Heart

Lyrics

Verse 1:
I don’t want to be the rich young man, Who went away sad
His knuckles white, from holding tight, 
To everything he had

I don’t want to be that Simon
With his pious air
Let me be the broken woman,
Washing your feet, 
With her tears and her hair

Chorus 1:
I don’t want to miss your heart
No, I don’t want to miss out on the main part
So many missed the good news
But I don’t want to miss out on the heart of you
No I don’t want to miss it... 
I don’t want to miss your heart

Verse 2:
Harsh words for the Pharisees,
Who kept the outside clean
Oh let me be the man in the temple, Beating his chest
Saying “Lord, have mercy on me”                                      

You said “Blessed are the poor in spirit, Blessed are the ones who mourn
Blessed are the pure and meek,
Who hunger for me
The kingdom is yours!”

Chorus

Bridge:
What good is gaining the world if I, Forfeit my very soul?
What good is money and name if I, Can’t take it when I go?
You don’t want my lip service, If my heart is far away
You want my all, my everything
Not a character I play

Find Rest (Matthew 11)

Lyrics

Verse 1:
Are you weary? Are you wearing thin?
Are you tired beneath your heavy load?
Are you weighed down 
And at last convinced?
You cannot carry this burden on your own.

Chorus:
Find rest, find rest for your soul
I’ll walk beside you, you’re not alone
Find rest, find rest for your soul
Light and easy, come take my yoke

Verse 2:
Come to me now, lay your burdens here
Walk with me now, in quietness & trust
I am gentle, cast aside your fear
I’ll befriend you with my steadfast love

Chorus

Bridge:
All the work is done, it is finished
No, you’re not enough, but it is finished
I will lead you on, til at last your home          
Ever to sing this song, “It is finished”

Jesus, Full of Compassion

Lyrics

Verse 1:
I am the outcast leper
Falling helpless to my knees
You are the one who would touch me
Stretch out your hand, To make me clean

Verse 2:
I am the bleeding woman
Desperate reaching for your robes
You are the one who stops for me
You call me daughter, And make me whole

Chorus:
Jesus, full of compassion
With love for the broken
Beating in your heart, Beating in your heart 
(That we’d know the love of God)

Verse 3:
I am like Lazarus buried
While Martha and Mary grieve in pain
You are the one who weeps for me
Tells me to rise up, Come out of the grave

Chorus

Bridge:
I am the haunted man in the graveyard
I am the woman awaiting the stones
I am the prodigal son
You’re like the Father who runs
Wraps me in love and carries me home

I am the crowd that calls for Barabbas
I am Peter denying your name
You take my cross and my death
You give me life instead
Your mercy is speaking right into my shame

Let It Be So With Your Church

Lyrics

Verse 1:
As our Jesus in love touched the leper
Offered grace when they’d cast a stone
As he ate with the outcasts and sinners        
With his church, let it be so 

Verse 2:
As he preached the good news of the kingdom
As he healed them both body and soul
As he gave up his life for God’s children
With his church, let it be so

Chorus:
Let it be so with your church, O God
We are your hands and feet
As Jesus bent low to serve in love
So with us let it be
So with us let it be

Verse 3:
Let us go with our Lord to the margins
To the broken, the poor and the lost
By His Spirit, we’ll push back the darkness
Let his church take up her cross 

Chorus

Bridge:
Come help us, Lord Jesus
To love as you loved (Oh, let it be so)
We remember your gospel
How you first loved us (Oh, let it be so)

To seek justice, love mercy
And care for the weak (Oh, let it be so)
To live now in light of
The kingdom we seek (Oh, let it be so)

The Year of His Favor (Isaiah 61)

Lyrics

Verse 1:
The Spirit of the Lord is on you
A King anointed for the cross
To the helpless you bring good news
You come to bind the broken heart

Verse 2:
Speaking freedom to the captive
Comfort to the ones who grieve
To the downcast, you bring justice
To the needy one, relief

Chorus:
You give beauty for ashes
You pour out the oil of gladness
The year of his favor comes
The year of his favor

You give to the weak and faint 
A garment of joy and praise
The year of his favor comes...

Verse 3:
You come to raise up what’s been ruined
Rivers in a desert waste
You are the Lord and you will do this
For the glory of your name

Chorus

Turn:
Come, Lord! Come, Lord! Come, Lord! Come, Lord!

Bridge:
The broken dance, the blind will see
The sick are healed, the mute will sing
The dead alive, the sinner free
The kingdom’s here, At last, the King!

Turn the Tables

Lyrics

Verse 1:
You exploit the ones who would worship
Use devotion to make a dime
Sell the sacred to turn a profit
Make the holy into merchandise

When all the world tries to get in the building
They can’t get in the door cause it’s
Overcrowded with goods and salesmen
In the holy house of the Lord

Verse 2:
Jesus comes in turning over tables
Flies into a righteous rage
Makes a whip and drives out the idols
He’s jealous for His Father’s name

When all the world tries to get in the building
He’ll stand like an open door ‘cause in
Three days gonna raise a signal
This way to the house of the Lord

Chorus:
Turn the tables, turn the tables over
Turn the tables, turn the tables over

Verse 3:
Do you want to make a cut on the story
Do you want to see your name in lights
Do you want a percentage of the glory
It’s not something you commodify

Don’t you know that your heart is a temple
He’s knocking down your door so
Let Him in and he’ll turn over tables
Make your heart a house for the Lord

Chorus 2x

Turn the tables, turn the tables,

Who Is This Jesus?

Lyrics

Verse 1:
I saw his face shine like the sun, On the mountainside
Elijah and Moses were there, Pale in his glorious light
And a voice came like thunder 
And I trembled all over
Said “This, my beloved child.”
Who is this Jesus, but the Son of God?

Verse 2:
I saw him walk on the waves, I saw him still the storm
I saw the demons afraid, But the children safe in his arms
He said Lazarus rise up
Wake from your sleep
And his dead heart started to beat!
Who is this Jesus, but the Son of God?

Verse 3:
I leaned my head, back on his chest, For he was my friend
He poured the wine, he broke the bread, It was near the end
I saw them take him
Beat him, try to break him
And hang him on the cross

They laughed, they mocked him
He said “God, forgive them
It’s finished, now it is done!”

The sky black as ink
The earth shook with grief
As he breathed his last and was gone

Who is this Jesus? Who is this Jesus?
Who is this Jesus, but the Son of God?
Who is this Jesus, but the Son of God?

Verse 4:
I saw the stone rolled away
I saw his empty tomb
I saw the scars in his hands
There in the upper room

Your Heart Was Set

Lyrics

Verse 1:
Humble Jesus
I see you stumblin’ through the wilderness
Your body achin’ to be fed
Just to lay down and rest
So tired and human

Verse 2:
I hear a voice sweet-talkin’
Like a siren singing to ya
Turn these stones into bread
Do it your way instead
Cause what are they to ya

Chorus:
But your heart was set
On the hard road ahead
Though you’d pay such a heavy price

Now my table is set
With the wine and the bread
And your joy it is somehow mine

Verse 3:
Humble Jesus
I see you prayin’ in the garden 
I see the blood and tears fallin’ 
As you face all the darkness
And you take my cup

Chorus

Verse 4:
Dying Jesus
I see you hanging on that tree now
People laughing sayin’ come down, 
The nails in your hands now   
But love made you stay
