Matchless ~ by Aaron Shust

Son of a Man, Great I Am,
King of heaven, son of God,
You hold the measure of my days
Holy Lamb, Spotless Lamb,
You are worthy, I am not
Before your throne I stand amazed
Every tongue confess and every knee will bow
To Jesus Christ the Lord forever, hear our praises now

(Chorus)
Your name is matchless,
Your name is priceless
Your name means more than I could know
You're so far above me,
The way that you love me
Goes further than any love could go

Wonderful Counselor,
Root of David, morning star
You are the way, the truth, the life
Lion of the tribe of Judah,
Mighty God is who You are
The only perfect sacrifice

In your name You took the blind man
And you gave him back his sight
In your name you took the dead man
And you brought him back to life
In your name you took this prisoner
And you opened up the doors

And I will sing before your throne forever more
(Chorus)

It's Your Life

Album: My Paper Heart
Artist: Francesca Battistelli

This is the moment
It’s on the line
Which way you gonna fall?
In the middle between
Wrong and right
But you know after all

(Chorus)
It’s your life
What you gonna do?
The world is watching you
Every day the choices you make
Say what you are and who
Your heart beats for
It’s an open door
It’s your life

Are you who you always said you would be?
With a sinking feeling in your chest
Always waiting for someone else to fix you
Tell me when did you forget

(Chorus)

To live the way that you believe
This is your opportunity
To let your life be one that lights the way

(Chorus)

Wait and See ~ by Brandon Heath

I was born in Tennessee
Late July humidity
Doctor said I was lucky to be alive
I’ve been trouble since the day that I got here
Trouble till the day that I disappear
That’ll be the day that I finally get it right

Chorus
There is hope for me yet
Because God won’t forget
All the plans he’s made for me
I have to wait and see
He’s not finished with me yet

I never really was that good in school
I talked too much, broke the rules
Teacher thought I was hopeless fool alright
I don’t know how but I made it through
It’s one of those things that you’ve gotta do
But I always had a knack for telling the truth

Chorus
Still wondering why I’m here
Still wrestling with my fear
But oh, He’s up to something
And the farther on I go
I’ve seen enough to know
That I’m, not here for nothing
He’s up to something

So now’s my time to be a man
Follow my heart as far as I can
No telling where I’m ending up tonight
I never slow down or so it seems
But singing my heart it’s one of my dreams
All I gotta do is hold on tight
Chorus

"What You Already Own"

I give You my heart broken and bruised
But still beating strong and wanting to trust You
I know I'm unfaithful, I know I do wrong
Do You protect what You already own

I give You my body, naked and meek,
Burning with passion, human and weak
I try to be faithful, and then I go wrong
Can You protect what You already own
I know I'm unfaithful, I know I do wrong
Do You protect what You already own

I give you my life, precious and rare
Knowing wherever I've been, You were there
Sometimes I'm faithful, sometimes I'm strong
Will you protect what You already own

I will be faithful, help me be strong
Cause you will protect what You already own
You still protect what You already own

When God Ran

Almighty God, the great I Am
Immovable Rock, omnipotent, powerful, awesome Lord
Victorious warrior, commanding King of Kings
Might conqueror, and the only time - the only time I ever saw Him run

CHORUS:
Was when He ran to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said "My son's come home again"
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice He said,
"Son, do you know I still love you?"
He caught me by surprise - when God ran

The day I left home I knew I'd broken His heart
And I wondered then if things could ever be the same
Then one night I remembered His love for me
And down that dusty road ahead I could see
It was the only time - it was the only time I ever saw Him run

And then He ran to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said "My son's come home again"
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice He said,
"Son, do you know I still love you?"
He caught me by surprise as He brought me to my knees
When God ran - I saw Him run to me

BRIDGE:
I was so ashamed, all alone and so far away
But now I know He'd been waiting for this day
I saw Him run to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said "My son's come home again"
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice I felt His love for me again

He ran to me, He took me in His arms
Held my head to His chest, said "My son's come home again"
Lifted my face, wiped the tears from my eyes
With forgiveness in His voice He said "Son", He called me Son
He said "Son, do you know I still love you?"
He ran to me and then I ran to Him
When God ran

This is from the CD by Phillips, Craig and Dean called "Restoration" - it's one of our family's favorites! The music to this song is wonderful, and the lyrics are so meaningful as they speak of our Father's amazing love and forgiveness.
