I am so tired…I am so weak…
I need more strength…I need perseverance…
I can’t seem to carry on…Because I am so exhausted…

You give me a second wind…there is something that keeps me going…
When I feel like my body is failing…I can put my hope in you…
When I feel like crying out to you in pain…when I stop living for selfish gain
Then will you use me…then will you strengthen me…
You have heard my cries for help…You have broke the shell I hide in…

You are my deliverer…When I feel abandoned…
I want you…I need you Lord to come and make me new…
There are so many things I need for you to change…but I need to give those to you…
I cannot change this life on my own…I want to be a witness to this love you’ve shown…

Enough is enough, when will it be true…You are drawing your children to you…
I want you to work in me…before you can work through me…
I come with an attitude…of thankfulness…for what you’ve done for me…
Your gift of love is so great…I cannot grasp just how infinite…
You are my song…the reason why I breathe…then will You rise up please heal my heart…

So many emotions…so many heartaches…I am tired of living a life as a fake…
You have become real to me…Teach me to be the man you want me to be…
When I feel like I have strayed away…You are calling me back…into your family…
When I deny you…You don’t deny me…because of your love I am born again free…
You are the music…you are my song…the reason I write is because I want to glorify you…

Emotionally I am drained…Physically I am spent…
My throat is dried…When my flesh has died…
Upon the cross you were killed…we are to die to ourselves…
Stretch me Lord…in areas I am afraid to let others into…
Teach me who I am…on the inside…
Not letting pride get in my way…may I put my hope in you today

I don’t like stepping out of my comfort zone…as I come humbly before your throne…
Teach me what it’s like…to step into the real world…As I am really excited to go…
I am so scared…people will find out…who is underneath this pride…
Under the mask I try to hide behind…when people ask who I am on the inside…
Oh Lord please help me remember that my flesh today has died…

Daily I need to take up my cross…and give you my all…
This is the way to follow you…I lay before you offering you my all…
Everything that hurts, when I feel alone in the dirt…God will sustain me as I come…
Don’t know why…you loved me so much to die…but I can’t believe I am yours…
I love you…no one else will take your place…no one else fills this void…
Others may get annoyed…Others may get angry…may get upset…

I don’t know this love so great…Greater love I have never known…
How is this love…so real to me…so powerful to set me free…
I am scared of where I would…be if you had not captured me…
Don’t stop now…this life is just beginning…Eternally living starts now…
The moment I accept the invitation…let you come in…I love you Lord now…

Bring me to BAR…Burial of my flesh…help resurrect my spirit… I ask you now…
You have made me who I am…You have been my closest friend…when you have stripped everything away…I open up my eyes and I see you cry…Your son to die because of all my sin…

We are the leaders…this world is in search of…
God has given us a task to spread His word to everyone…
I want all to experience the same kind of joy that I have…
This love inside of me…I want the world to know

This is not going to be easy…to step up and take the lead…
We are called to live as leaders…for this generation so lost…
God has blessed us with so many opportunities to make a difference…
Yet God leaves the choice to us…We can take it or let it slip away…

If we want to show God’s love to others…We need to take the lead…
Because so many people…listen to the lies of this world…
People need someone…to follow someone who is different than others…
May my life make a difference in society today…

Lead me in the way I should go…Help me lead others to You…
Lead me in paths of righteousness…Lead I will follow wherever you want me
I am Yours, livin’ for your glory…Livin’ to bring you praise…Livin’ a full life right now…

Don’t know where you’re goin’ to lead me…or where I am going to end up…
I don’t know why…I didn’t have to die, You went through it all for me…
I never seem to give you my all, wonderin’ why you had to take my fall…
I didn’t take you seriously when you offered me your gift…So rich in healing… How can it be true??? You did it all for me to be with me…

As I try to remain faithful… As I long to be who You have called me to be… I admit I have been unfaithful… I have strayed so far away from home, trying so hard to live this life on my own… You are faithful, You always will be there… When I fall away… You wait for me to come running back… Your faithfulness is all around me… And yet I’ve been so unfaithful, in the midst… You remain faithful, even when I seem to mess my life up… When I look I see You, and I see the old made new… As I chase after You, pursuing You… Give me the strength, to remain faith filled… You are faithful… Even when I come faithless… When I can’t see Your plan for my life… You remind me, that You are faithful… I rest in assurance, You are my strength, You will remain true… When I turn my back on You… It is then You call me back, it is when You embrace me after I come home… That I catch a glimpse of true faithfulness… I long to become the person… You created me to be… As I look at the world around me, may Your presence fill me up… I am so untrue, but I know that is not of You… I want to live faithful, but this world is telling me it doesn’t matter… Whether I am faithful to my values… But I know You are a God of second chances… I know You will be there when I mess up… When I come running, Your arms will be open… Then I truly begin to see, what sacrifice You gave for me…

Bridge:
Take my life and please completely saturate it Lord (13)
Enough with being caught up in my own little world (13)
So many times media tries to saturate our minds (13)
Saturate my heart, that your word may seap in my soul (13)

Chorus:
Here’s my all here’s my life here’s all of my secrets (12)
Please make me a person saturated with Your love (12)
May my life reflect a life of praise and worship (12)
I long to be saturated with Your healing hand upon me (16)

Verse 1:
I can’t seem to find Christians who are on fire Lord (12)
Good news is to be spread and many people are scared to step out (16)
I can’t understand why so many people don’t know how to live (16)
Teach me Lord how to saturate myself with the love that You give (16)

Verse 2:
I need You so I can live a full life of purpose, on fire for You (16)
I don’t care how others view me because I know who I am (16)
In God’s hands I place my spirit, my life, my thoughts, my emotions Lord (16)
I long to look into Your eyes as I lay in Your arms see Your face (16)

Verse 3:
We need to wake up. This generation is falling asleep, (15)
Because we have been fed so many lies, we lose our feeling (15)
I need You Lord to saturate me with Your mercy, Your grace. (15)
So I need to step up, act now. That is the way I was made (15)

Verse 4:
I can’t be passive, because it is for this generation that you died.(17)
People are dying, time is wasting. Days are passing, moments fleeing. (17)
I can’t believe how much it cost You to love me so deeply Jesus. (17)
I don’t know how to thank you, so I offer You my all, my everything. (17)

You are the first and the last
As You tell me the first is the last
Please make myself last so
I can make You first as
I put all my life my trust in You alone
I long to serve others but at times I find it hard
To put myself behind in the line
This is what I need to do
As You say in Your word I am Yours
I live for You and no one else
This world tells me put
yourself first
Think again as I hunger and thirst
As I make others first look how I can
Place myself behind the scenes
I am not wanting to be noticed
Because I want Your name to be known
As I look at the example of your son
I hear Your voice telling me to come
When all is said
When all is done
I am longing to hear You say
Job well done
I long to see You come alive in my life

So many things I can touch and grab onto
Sometimes I let my life slip away day by day
I long for something greater than myself
Please make Yourself real to me
Wake me up open my eyes help me see
You have been my closest friend
You’ve loved me with a love that transcends
So please make Your message real to me
So I can live; have something to grab a hold of
As I grow closer to You wrap me in love
I long to make Your word real in my life,
But only You can open up my heart
I want others to see You’re real to me
This faith I have make it real as I seek You
This world needs to see Your love is real
Something beyond what they feel
When I live I want my faith to show
How real to me You’ve been
Reveal Your love to all the nations
As I look around shouting You’re real to me
May You be real in my life
I want others to see You working through me
Make Yourself known through all things
Please use my life
You’re so real to me

We serve one God, and one God do we praise
I serve one God who thinks about me all the time
I live for one God, doesn’t matter what the world tries to tell me I will serve Him only
Can’t seem to relocate, my GPS is going crazy
God will steer me in the right direction
This song isn’t censored, but you choose the truth at your discretion
I don’t understand the lies people believe,
They think they can get better by taking Alieve
This sin going to desroy us, please don’t destroy us
I live for one purpose, not my own but it isn’t my will
But I can’t get by on my own,
Help me show others the love You’ve shown
One God, one purpose, one reality, one fatality, one person endured all brutality
You did it for me, to pay for my sin, I don’t want to live in this any more free from fatality
I want You in my life, I love You Lord, My God will be there when no one else seems to care
One God, one way, one savior, one truth, one light, one life,
One Flame, One passion, One desire
One God who can rescue me, who can take my pain for me
One God who can make me free, who can change me from within
