Bridge:
I am longing for you to call me home (10)
This earth serves as a resting place (10)
Longing yearning to see you face to face (10)
Heaven is my home for eternity (10)

Chorus:
I want my life to reflect eternal life (11)
Knowing a better place is waiting for me (11)
A place that sin no longer entangles me (11)
In heaven I will be able to live free (11)
Home for breakfast, lunch and dinner I pray (11)
You will lead me to a life of completion (11)

Verse 1:
As I stop and listen I hear you calling (10)
As I listen and grow closer to you (10)
I am forever growing close to home (10)
Each step of faith I take I grow closer (10)
Each time I spend reading your words to me (10)
I slowly understand where my home is (10)
The steps I take today help me see you (10)

Verse 2: You are calling me home when I run away (11)
When I stray from you, You gently call my name (11)
You give me another chance you wash me clean (11)
May I remember I am on fire for you (11)
Tune me in teach me to listen to your call (11)
Home is where I want to be your arms of love (11)
Hidden in Your infinite love so deep (11)

Bridge:
My faith is more than just an act (8)
The way I live is more concrete (8)
I want my life to be inward (8)
The outward way I may be cool (8)

Chorus:
My faith is more than an outward sign (10)
I want others to know Jesus is mine (10)
My life is not all about writing songs (10)
Outward appearance doesn’t really matter (10)
Of course this world could be a safer place (10)

Verse 1:
On the outside things may look alright (9)
This is so typical in the world now (9)
Daily outward appearances deceive (9)
So outward we may look out and see (9)
This outward persona has gotta go (9)
People can only see outwardly (9)

Verse 2:
Faith is more than an outward decision (10)
The outward doesn’t matter in Heaven (10)
Faith is much too strong so you can not see (10)
You never know when you will use your faith (10)
There are so many things to consider (10)
So many options things that we can’t see (10)
You don’t need anymore than a mustard seed (10)
But that faith is a hard thing to grab hold (10)
No asking questions just take a huge leap (10)

Bridge: Before You can use me I need to repent (10)
Before I was saved I had no life purpose (10)
I want to kneel before your throne (10)
Before I leave this world I need to show love (10)
Before I was born you already knew me (10)
Before you made me You have chosen me (10)

Chorus: Before there was this thing called time (9)
I want my life to count for more (9)
You were before all time created (9)
I love you Lord with all my heart (9)
You loved me before I was on Earth (9)

Verse 1: I need you now more than ever before (10)
Every breath I take I want to know you (10)
I love you I want to live now, alive (10)
Before a word is on my lips you know (10)
May the love that you give me overflow (10)

Verse 2: Please help me see you more than before (10)
Living for Jesus is not always easy (10)
To see you working is a lot of fun (10)
I give my life to you in all I do (10)

Verse 3: Help me tell others how much you love them (10)
Please show me how to communicate with you (10)
Others need the answers only you give (10)
After your heart I choose to daily live (10)

So many people do things without thinking (10)
about the example that they are setting (10)
The truth is others watch us as Christians (10)
more than we may realize, but help us use (10)
that opportunity to evangelize, (10)
to show others what you’ve given unto us (10)

Chorus: When we live our daily lives others are always watching (14)
whether you like it or not the best way to show others (14)
truth is to live it everyday and to walk with Jesus (14)

Verse 1: How we act when we are alone is a measure of integrity (15)
and builds character; when we do whats right. While walking with Jesus is (17)
never easy, it is still important in reaching all my friends. (16)

Verse 2: When we live our lives the way you intended for us to live, (15)
when we follow in Your steps, we are actively showing others (15)
the gift of life you give. (6)

Chorus:

Verse 3: The most effective way to show others (10)
the only way to live is to live it out every single day. (16)
To live the way you want us to live is never a cakewalk (15)
but it is the only way to show others we don’t just talk (15)
the talk but we also walk the walk. (9)

Chorus:

Verse 4: You’re calling us to something higher than the standard the world sets. (16)
You’re calling us to run a different race; a race in which you have set the pace. (18)
Won’t you please show us how to run with perseverance the race marked out for us. (19)

Chorus:

Verse 5: No matter what we do, please help us run it first by you (14)
because you are our perfect example and anything that (14)
doesn’t match up with you not setting the bar higher but it is keeping (17)
us on the same level as the other nonbelievers and we (12)

cannot effectively witness if we are not constantly walking the way you want us to, (19)
we are only talking and wasting other’s time if we don’t do what you say. (18)
If our actions don’t back up all we do and say (12)
since we love God let us show others the way we live our lives and show them (18)
the way to live instead of just telling others the way to live. (16)
