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
Chorus

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
Chorus

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)
Chorus

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

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

Hallelujah, Christ is Born
Lyrics
Verse 1:
In a tiny town, in the dark of night
From a run-down stable, came a baby’s cry
He was wrapped in rags
And his parents were poor
But the baby in the manger was Christ the Lord
Verse 2:
Ragged shepherds were watching their sheep that night
When the angel chorus filled the sky with light “Good news, great joy to this broken land
For the baby in the manger is Christ the Lamb”
Chorus:
Hallelujah, Christ is born!
Hallelujah, the Savior of the world
This is the one we’ve waited for!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Christ is born
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Christ is born
Verse 3:
See the wise men journey
From those countries far
Over deserts and mountains,
Followin’ that star
And they gave him their gifts
And bowed on their knees
For the baby in the manger was Christ the King
Chorus 2x
Verse 4:
Come and bow in wonder and prepare him room
Come and sing with joy
Over God’s good news
Go tell it on the mountain
And in countries far
That the baby in the manger is the King of our hearts

Joy (As Far As the Curse Is Found)
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Eternal God, there at the beginning
Stepping into time, into the world
All for love, the infinite descending
To kick inside the womb of a girl
Verse 2:
A king is born, far from any palace
Bending low to serve instead
Majesty, He’s given up his status
Robed in the weakness of the flesh
Pre-chorus:
Unto us a child is born
Heaven coming down to earth
Joy to all the weary world
The human soul will feel it’s worth
Chorus:
Joy to the world Good, good news
O come let us adore Him
Joy to the world
It’s breaking through
He’s come and he will come again
Verse 3:
Let’s go with the wise men
Laying down our treasures
Falling on our knees to give him praise
With the angel choir
Singing to the shepherds
Glory to God in the highest place
Pre-chorus:
Unto us a child is born
Heaven coming down to earth
Joy to all the weary world
The human soul will feel it’s worth
It’s worth!
Chorus:
Joy to the world Good, good news
O come let us adore Him
Joy to the world
It’s breaking through
He’s come and he will come again
Bridge:
As far as the curse is found
As far as the curse is found
As far as the curse is found
As far as the curse is found
(Joy to the world)
As far as the curse is found
(Let earth receive her king)
As far as the curse is found
(Let all creation sing)
As far as the curse is found
(And let his blessings flow)
As far as the curse is found
(Til the whole world knows!)

Only the Sick Need a Physician
Lyrics
Verse 1:
Who is this man who sits with the sinners
Who dines with the drunkards
And loves the unclean
Oh who is this man who won't cast a stone
But honors the harlot
Who washes his feet, sayin’
Chorus:
Come, scarlet letters
You outcasts and debtors
I will call you my friends
I'll sit at your table
You broken and fatal
‘Cause only the sick need a physician
Oooooh
Verse 2:
Who is this man who calls God a father
The son of a blue collar carpenter man
Who calls us unclean, like tombs full of bones
We keep our religion,but whitewash our sin
Sayin’ be born again
Chorus
Verse 3:
And what kind of God would hang on a tree
Despised and rejected and nailed to the wood
You saved all the others, but can’t save yourself?
We don’t need you Jesus,we’re well and we’re good
And you're nailed to the wood
We never understood
There is none who is good! So

The Two Lost Sons (Luke 15)
Lyrics
Verse 1:
I have been the younger son
Chase my pleasure, chase my fun
Build castles in the sand
My own Promise Land
When my kingdoms crumble down
The famine comes, I bottom out
Well I can hear your voice Call for yourlittle boy
Pre-Chorus 1:
But you were more of a means than a Father
You were drownin’ my dreams underwater
Chorus:
My child, my child I’ll run out to meet you
Come into my house What’s lost can be found
My child, my child come into the party
All I have is yours Don’t stand outside my door
All I have is yours
Verse 2:
I have been the elder son
Slavin’ til the work is done
Just tryin’ to earn my keep
Nothing comes for free
Bitterness was in my blood
From all this tryin’ to be enough
But you love that wayward son
Oh but look at what I’ve done
Pre-Chorus 2:
You were more of a means than a Father
I acted like an employee,
Not a son,not a daughter
Chorus
Bridge:
Don’t let your pride get in the way
You don’t need to earn my love
Don’t let your guilt get in the way
You don’t need to earn my love
All of those rules that you keep or you break
You don’t need to earn my love
There is a Son that has already paid
You don’t need to earn it
You don’t need to deserve it
Come home, come home!
Chorus
Outro:
Come into my joy!
All I have is yours
