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

Sometimes I find it so easy to give up
But I find it hard to give up the control of my life to you
I will gladly give up the world if it means I can gain you
To live my life for anything other than you is pointless
For the treasures of this world will become worthless
The time to act is now
Teach me to never give up when I spread your word
Teach me to give up on my own
Teach me to lay it at your feet
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me
Teach me to give up my desires
That I may be filled with your desires
That I may be filled with your heart
I give you my secrets that I may be healed
May I never forget your faithfulness
Please clothe me in righteousness
The same righteousness Abraham had
The same power you gave to them is available to
us if we give up the reigns in our lives and
let you steer me, no more holding back secrets I’ve
been prone to hide from you while I give you
what is left. I feel so bad you want all
of my life or none of it, so I offer you
my fears my darkest moments my scariest
concerns my most vulnerable times

Image is not everything, for images can get distorted lost in the confusion
Image the outside persona that the world tells us to portray each day
I have been created in Christ’s image, I am a living representation of my Creator
I love to bring You all I am in You for you.
I have been scarred by the negativity the world has of what has become of image

Self image is what so many people struggle with, and the world tells us we aren’t good enough to look the best
We are created in the image of God. This is the way I was created to live, so much more that you have in store for my life that I can’t see
The image we portray I pray would reflect you
As you illustrate my life, as you work in my heart show me take me to new depths as I grow closer to Jesus
I pray your image would be magnified, never to be distorted never to be abandoned never to be recreated
In your image I was meant to live, that I may be concealed in your love, mercy, your grace

I want my life to be more than a way to build good self image, want my life to count for more
The amount of self, I want to diminish the amount of you evident in my life is something I want more of
Can’t seem to get a hold of the lost picture, when all the images become distorted because of the sin in this world.
It scares me to see the image of God this world has, it is so distorted and clouded over with a sin like haze

I want to live the high life so that your image may be evident. I can’t stand this misinterpretation sin has caused.
It helps me to remember that I am created in your image. I can live because your love has freed me, Your blood has covered my sins so I come before
You clean.

I pour out my heart to you so I can begin healing,
I know oh Lord I have lost all sense of touch and feeling
If I come to you and confess my sins to you let you in on all my deepest hurts and pain
Then I will see your love for me freely pours through your wounds
I can’t believe you are madly in love with me, I am praying for your healing
Don’t know how to deal with all that’s within my life
As I seek your face, show me your undying grace
Pour your love out on me, healing my heart my scariest moments laying in your arms

Pour out your love
Pour out your grace
I long to find true satisfaction
When I look to you and my salvation
I will pour out my heart as you continue to pursue me
I long to be healed for I am a broken man,
When I look to the cross, I see your love for me a broken heart longing to see your will for me

I don’t know the way to go, but as You are guiding me I feel your hand upon me
As I long to be healed, I see true healing flow from your scars
I can’t help but question my self, why do I keep on sinning when my heart I know it is killing my savior
Words can not express, the way I feel when I am resting in your presence.

Pre Chorus:
I have so many questions about what heaven will be like
So many answers lay with in your word and I long to catch a glimpse
Heaven is my eternal place and I rest in the fact you know everything about it
Are there really streets paved with gold and will I able to walk on them

Chorus:
Will I see my king and fall face down to worship Him
Heaven is not like this earth at all I want to know what paradise is like
I long to worship Him in all his righteousness, to see Him in all his greatness
I want to pray and talk to Him and hear His name glorified

Verse 1:
Will I be able to ask a question like why did Jesus love a sinner like me
And why did He choose me and give me the privilege to know Him and praise him
Heaven is so mysterious and yet so many times people have the wrong view
I am asking to make my mind renewed about the Heaven you describe to me

Verse 2:
Will I stand up and sing or will I fall before the lamb
To meet with the one I gave my life to the one the great I AM
I cannot imagine what it will be like because I have lived with sin all my life
In heaven will it be like Eden or will it be better than the garden

Written after my hard drive crashed

Pre Chorus:
Can I feel the waves of life
My emotions are flooding my mind I feel small and at times crushed
No taller than a pop can on the road

Chorus:
I know it is when my life crashes
Those are the times I come running
I see you through the pain
You have lifted me from the ashes

Verse 1:
My life becomes cluttered with worldly things
I feel like everything was lost
Then I realize all I have is you to sustain me
When I am crashing you are my life

Verse 2:
I have everything when I let go of myself
I give you my all please reprogram my priorities
Line them up with your plan and will for my life
Remove everything within me that doesn’t bring you honor
