Lyrics
It all started when…
Free
Verse 1
We could be free for a moment
if we just stopped to own it
that the moment
holds who we could be
Grow our dreams a little bigger
feet a little quicker
to chase down this destiny
Cause living on the surface
Doesn’t have a purpose
You’ve got to dive deeper to make it worth this
Raging noise
It’s your choice
If you’ll be
Chorus 1
We could be free
The hardest part, hardest part
Is just to breathe
Woah, woah
We could be free
Letting go, letting go
Just to be
Woah, woah
Verse 2
It’s hard to stay free for a while
When fear’s sold in a vial
Under bright lights calling your name
While love is sold down the aisle
With a wink and a smile
That we’re all just playing a game
We’re running round in circles
Jumping over hurdles
Trying to find the pieces to fit this hurt, we’ll
Climb to find there’s more to life than what we see
Verse 3
Aright check this out
Not being free don’t require chains
When we’re in chains by the games we play
The words we say,
Through truths that we flip
And cords that we rip
We become less ourselves
Drip by drip by drip
Till puddles are left
Just to make us slip
But it’s for freedom we’re set free
Not to be slaves once more
But to cut down thorns
choking hopelessness
To make the most of this day, hour, second
To let calling beckon
Let lowered bars reckon
With us, with a love that overcomes
And calls us now to …
Run!

Hold on to the Light
Verse 1
I get lost sometimes
So caught in the lie
Forget who I am
And sink in the sand
Pre-chorus
But when I lose my way
I fall on the grace
That leads me home
Reminds I’m not alone
Chorus
You’ve got to hold on to the light
Hold on to the light
When you can’t tell the day from the night
Just hold on to the light
Verse 2
I can get so numb
All the things I’ve done (things I’ve done)
My heart so hard
That I swallow the dark
Bridge
Shine down, shine your light
Let it live inside, live inside
Shine down, shine your light
Let it be my guide, be my guide

Fly
Intro
Fly!
Verse 1
Gravity holds us down
Lies we’re just stuck here
No way to leave the ground
Just cling to fear
But put your hand in mine
and I know we can fly
Leave fear and doubt behind
Let yourself rise
And come and...
Chorus
Fly!
Come and
Fly!
‘Till the world grows small below
And you can feel your soul
Come alive
Oh come alive
Verse 2
Don’t you know there’s more to us
Than what we see
Not just air and dust
Made for eternity
So our dreams should reach for stars
Miracles waiting for a spark
Close your eyes, begin
To let the fire rush in
And come and…
Bridge
Take my hand, the clouds’ll drift past our feet now
Take my hand - we were made for more
Take my hand - the earth will fade far beneath now
Take my hand - we were made to soar

Love’s Still Shining
Bridge 1
So let hope arise, come and fill the skies
Let it burst forth from the ground
Let lives come alive, light this night
To show the love that we have found
What if we let go?
Verse 1
Like a bride waiting for her groom
Radiant in splendor, knowing she is loved
Like a flower waiting to bloom
Beauty to arise, when called by the sun
Pre-chorus
What if we let go
To caves where we’re hiding
What if we let go
Open up, ‘till we’re shining!
Chorus 1
With love that knows no limits
With hope tearing down the walls
With joy to show what love has done
Love’s still shining bright
Love’s still shining bright
Oh, love’s still shining bright
Verse 2
Why are our lamps dimmed? Wicks cut short?
Wings clipped by the troubles of this day
Stained-glass windows, boarded-in light
With hurricanes raging outside
Bridge 2
So let hope arise, come and fill the skies
Let it burst forth from the ground
Let lives come alive, light this night
To show the love that we have found
Let hope arise, come and fill the skies
Let it burst forth from the ground
Let lives come alive, light this night
To show the love that we have found

Come to Me
Verse 1
Come to me all who are weary of life
Find rest and know you are loved
Come to me all who are broken of heart or body
Be healed and know you are loved
Chorus
Come and weep in my arms
I spread wide to hold you
Come and sleep by my side
That was pierced for you
Verse 2
Come to me all who are lonely, who feel lost
Find peace and know you are loved
Come to me all who are empty, hungry, or thirsty
Be filled and know you are loved
Bridge
Where was I that day
When you were torn, swept away?
I was there at your side
Holding your hand
Wiping away your tears
And I’m still here to hold you
Here to console you
My love for you won’t fade
Don’t hide in your pain, cling to your shame
Just let go
Ending
Come to me
For by my wounds yours are healed
Come to me
For by my wounds yours are healed
Oh come to me
For by my wounds yours are healed
Yours are healed
Yours are healed
You are healed

The Revolution is Love
Verse 1
So you want a revolution? Go change your heart
You say you want to burn it down? Go ignite your dark
We all have places where we shelter in the night
Locked up rooms where no one’s let inside
Don’t close your eyes
Chorus
The revolution is love
The revolution is love
And it starts with us
It starts with
The revolution is love
The revolution is love
And it starts in us
It starts in us
Verse 2
You say the world’s at war, whose side are you on?
What if the wars we wage are just the pawns?
Because our enemies are not the skin you see
It’s the cancer growing in my soul beneath
What can set you free?
Bridge
No matter your color, no matter your creed
No matter your country or what you believe
I will choose to love
No matter the conflict, no matter the pain
If we disagree I’ll love you the same
I will choose to love
Ending
It starts in us
The revolution is love

Blind
Verse 1
This isn’t how it should be
Eyes turned away ‘cause we can’t see
Black and white fade
Ties that bind fray
All just falls apart
And leaves us in the dark
Chorus
If one of us is blind
How will we know?
We don’t know the signs
That tell us where to go
What’s the way the truth
Just turn out the light
Pretend we have sight
And fumble in the dark
Lai la-lai lai la-lai lai lai lai
Lai la-lai lai la-lai lai lai lai lai
Lai la-lai lai la-lai lai lai lai
Lai la-lai la-lai
Lai la-lai la-lai
Verse 2
The battle still rages between the heart and the mind
The heart’s a fickle thing, a chain
Is the mind even worse
Toeing the line when the heart’s about to burst
Bleeding inside
We’re bleeding inside
Bridge
Tossed around in this sea of tears
Drift with the tide but do anchors drown
Hope the waves subside before they crash
Pull us down
Pull us down
Pull us down
Pull us down
Ending
Lai la-lai la-lai

Oceans
Verse 1
You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown where feet may fail
And there I find You in the mystery
In oceans deep my faith will stand
Chorus 1
And I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
When oceans rise
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours and You are mine
Verse 2
Your grace abounds in deepest waters
Your sov'reign hand will be my guide
Where feet may fail and fear surrounds me
You've never failed and You won't start now
Bridge
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made stronger
In the presence of my Savior
Chorus 2
I will call upon Your name
And keep my eyes above the waves
My soul will rest in Your embrace
For I am Yours
And You are mine
