Life consists of many different components (12)
Every second help me live for you all the time (12)
Everywhere I look I see time is going fast (12)

Chorus: Every second I try to spread your word (10)
But as each second slips away I can’t (10)
A love so vast I can hardly grasp this (10)
I let too many minutes go to waste (10)

Verse 1: I long to spread this joy you’ve given me Lord (11)
Everyday I seem to waste doing nothing (11)
To advance your word or your love for the lost (11)
I can’t keep watching time slip through the cracks Lord (11)

Verse 2: I break for all the people who have yet to hear (12)
Time consists of many seconds I can’t waste them (12)
Each one is one I can never get back minutes (12)
No time for wasting the time to act is right now (12)

Verse 3: I treasure time on Earth every second I am closer (14)
To seeing my creator face to face as I grow close (14)

The message of the cross we are to spread now (11)
As time seems to be closing in give me strength (11)
As I long to bring you all the glory Lord (11)

There is so much time that has kept my mind anxious (12)
Not knowing what lies ahead in my future life Lord. (12)

Teach me that you are molding me helping me wait (12)
When we wait for your timing it will turn out fine (12)
It will be alright when we wait for something great (12)
When I wait for something better than life on Earth (12)

Refine my heart as I come before you broken (12)
As I see your face may I enter your presence (12)
Clean me of all my hidden sin again you clean (12)

Bridge:
The world is a magnet trying to pull us away from God (15)
We need roots so we don’t get swept away like chaff in the wind (15)
As we grow deeper in our walk with Jesus the sronger the pull (15)
More things Satan uses to try to draw us away from God(15)

Chorus:
Help us Lord today help us outreach, speak through use us to teach(15)
Sharing the message of the cross to the lost in everything (15)

As I long as I strive that I may see your face (12)

Bridge:
You call your children to love the world differently (13)
Through all tping and pranks that are being played on us (13)
You have commanded us to love others all the way (13)
Trusting you to show us how to love differently (13)

Chorus:
I am loved in such a different way than I could ever imagine (18)
I can love the people who try to get us back for all we’ve said or done (18)
Then look back and remember all the times we’ve poked fun at others (18)
And you will teach us to make you number one in in the lives lived (18)
We need to love everyone and in this case the ones who tped our house (18)

Verse 1:
I know you will come through for us in time of need (12)
You have taught us to love all differently (12)
You have placed in our lives those who tease non stop (12)

Sarcasm can kill like a deathly ill disease (12)
So when we learn to love differently we are yours (12)

Verse 2:
Teach me to love in a different way the way you love (13)

Bridge:
Take a leap of faith if you can’t see take a parachute (14)
I can’t see what is coming when my life is so unknown (14)
In the air when I am sailing forever closer to fate (14)
You will catch us in mid air You are my parachute of love (14)
Falling is much safer knowing where you will be going (14)

Chorus:
You are my parachute teach me dear Lord to jump out of the plane (15)
I remember when I am falling catch me in your arms wide (15)
Your arms hold me tight help me rest in complete security (15)
You are gentle you care for your children you are calling me home (15)
You are my loving Father who cares sacrificing your son (15)

Verse 1:
Help me to step out of the things I know so well (11)
Help me step out knowing you’re a parachute Lord (11)
Knowing I will never need to wonder no (11)
Help me step out in faith trusting your arms there (11)
No matter what you will catch me in your love (11)
When I am falling you give me a landing (11)
You are my parachute of healing water (11)

Verse 2:
You will never let me fall to the bottom rung (12)
You are a loving compassionate father (12)
You will protect us and sustain us when all fails (12)
You will provide me with the encouragement I need (12)

I want my life to reflect you every moment (12)
You are there as my acting parachute of love (12)

So many things we can be grateful to you every day (14)

All I have is yours and I commit my life to you now (14)
There is so much I can be grateful for the life I live (14)

Verse 1: You teach me to be grateful when I give you today (11)
The point is crystal clear You are great (11)

The gratefulness I have for all I’ve been through (12)
Help me remember to be grateful for all hard times (12)
Times I need to trust you show me the next step Lord(12)

I wrote this song as I was graduating from Highschool on 11/11/05 I found in the book of Isaiah the exact verse.

Bridge: I look at your hands and I see my name engraved (11)
Show me your wounds that I may find true healing (11)
My name is engraved on the palms of my Lord (11)
Please engrave in my heart your love for the world (11)

Chorus: Please engrave my heart to love with grace (9)
Engrave your characteristics Lord (9)
Within my heart that I may love more (9)
That I may show how vast true love is (9)

Verse 1: May my heart reflect your love for this falling world (12)
Engrave within me a heart for the lost people (12)
It’s hard to see you go through all this pain for me (12)
The pain this sin has caused you really breaks my heart (12)
As you continue to show me how you’ve loved me (12)
The love you have given to me is amazing (12)
As I learn to follow your example Lord (12)

Verse 2: Please give me a heart that hurts for the lost (10)
Teach me to follow you with all my life (10)
I long to be the man you created (10)
As I look at your hands I see your blood (10)
You have washed me clean in your cleansing blood (10)
Please show me that your love is like a flood (10)
I am clean no longer in chains of sin (10)
You have set me free from the sin I’ve done (10)
I rest in your arms I come running home (10)

Bridge:
Flying high in a plane soaring high as an eagle (13)
Then I begin to see different views of the world (13)
Anticipating where and when I will land; take off (13)
But as I read your word then I begin to fly high (13)
Knowing when I depart from this earth I will arrive (13)

Chorus:
My life may be filled with storms and turbulence (11)
But I can no longer face life on a fence (11)
I know that with my arrival in Heaven (11)
Comes complete satisfaction when my life’s done (11)
I don’t want to spend my life up in a plane (11)

Verse 1:
When will I fly like the eagle above the clouds (12)
Just me and my savior most wonderful maker (12)
We will be playing in the sunshine together (12)
As I fall to my knees in awe of your power (12)
I need you to help me level the plane I’m in (12)
This turbulence this thing called sin makes me so sick (12)
The world is lost and confused don’t know what to do (12)

Verse 2:
The way to fly smoothly is to give the control to you (14)
You are the ultimate pilot, true navigating guide (14)
You know my destination by faith I choose precision (14)
You will take me to my final destination Heaven (14)
Teach me to forgive others seventy times seven now (14)
As I know you will take me to my final arrival (14)
As I walk by faith one step at a time as it’s cloudy (14)
