Approaching 04:35
Approaching, with reverence and fear in my heart Awakening, Your light shines like fire in the dark Approaching, Your grace beckons me and I come I come, with all my fears and failures in my hands I come, for only in Your grace I'll ever stand Approaching, though I am unworthy You've invited me Called my name and set me in Your family Boldly I'll come running to Your throne Approaching, surrounded by Your love and You've forgiven me I am Yours, Jesus You have set me free Boldly I'll come running to Your throne To Your throne...I'll come running to Your throne

I was lost but now I'm found I was blind but now I see I was dead, now I'm alive Because of Jesus I am free Because of Jesus 3x I'm alive and I am free I was a debtor but I don't owe a thing Because of Jesus I can sing You have given me a song In Your family I belong
3.
Undone 04:53
Holy Spirit burn like a flame in my soul Come burn within, make me new again Oh Oh Oh Oh, I'll never get enough of You 2x When I'm with you my whole world's on fire I'm undone by Your love taking hold Taking hold of me, over me Holy Spirit burn 3x Come burn within Holy Spirit burn 2x Burn away the dross on the inside Making me new again Holy Spirit burn
4.
In Your Love 06:43
Love taking hold of my soul What a mystery of grace You took my place, gave me life In Your love I am alive Hope, what a hope Love poured out On that wooden cross You saved By Your grace, on that day When my sin was washed away Jesus You're lighting up the dark Your love is like a fire in my heart Your majesty it shines perfect as the sun And I will worship You In Your love I find freedom Broken chains that once held me By Your sacrifice, You saved my life And took away my shame In Your Love I'm forgiven Mercy smiled upon my soul With Your perfect life You paid the price And washed away my sin Love like an ocean washing over me Your love like an ocean washing over me Jesus, Your love like an ocean washing over me Your love like an ocean washing over me Oh, Your love like an ocean washing over me 2x

There's gotta be something more than all that I've been living for In a digital prison, I'm a slave in the position of keeping score All of my possessions are weighing me down to the floor You know I've got a problem when all my riches make me poor I want to breathe in deep and feel this air in my lungs To know my creed, my tribe, where I belong Don't want to waste my life in front of a TV screen In a digital prison when I've got these analog dreams In a digital prison I'm addicted to the rhythm and the rhyme I spend my life in motion but I'm standing still all the time Virtual freedom but we're slaves to our own designs I'm screaming on the inside but no sound travels down these lines
6.
Waiting on you, here before You, on our knees again Just to see You, just to hear You, just to know You more Waiting on You 2x Jesus, savior, friend of sinners You have rescued us Praise unending, to Your name be All the glory now
7.
We are the fortunate few The blind given sight again, our eyes are set on You We were the dead but now alive You took us from the grip of death and gave us second life Light the night on fire At the trumpet sound He will split the sky Jesus, You're coming soon We are waiting for You, we are waiting for You You have conquered the grave and death will be defeated On resurrection day Jesus, the first and the last In Your life we find our hope In You alone we stand The day is coming soon When You will split the sky And come back for Your bride You will come and split the sky To take Your church and take Your bride On a white horse riding with fire in Your eyes Jesus, You are the king of kings You'll raise us up and give us wings We'll fly away and live forevermore
8.
Hope 04:08
Hope, all my hope All I have is in Your hands Christ, You gave Your all And my faith is in You Touch this place with Your hands of hope Hold our hearts till we're safely home God, You are my rock You're my shelter in the storm When the dark closes in You're the light that leads us on Everything I have and all I am 3x It's in Your hands 2x
9.
Knees 03:12
I wanna break free from the everyday Just escape from the bleak mundane And fly away, I wanna fly away with you I need to get down to get up again Hit the ground running like my life depends On finding You, and it really does I need to get down to get up again On my knees, that's where you'll find me 2x When I'm on my knees 2x I get stronger When I'm on my knees You make me stronger I'm ready to go
10.
Fill our lungs with the breath of Your life Fill our hearts with the fire of Your love Fill this place with the cloud of Your glory Fill our eyes with Your wonders anew Whoa oh oh, all I want to do is love You Whoa oh oh, all I want to do is sing This is the sound of freedom This is the sound of love in motion This is the sound of redemption This is the sound of praise Fill our ears with the sound of Your grace Fill our souls with the power of Your name Fill our hands with Your love and mercy Fill our lives with more of You Jesus we love You 3x More each day Jesus we praise You 3x More each day This is the sound Let's make it loud This is the sound We'll make it loud Our praise for You This is the sound

Remember when? In that winter wood I walked into your life And asked you darling, "Will you be my wife?" I made promises to keep right from the start That through the bitter and the sweet I'd hold your heart Now we've changed and grown and watched the years go by And here we are still standing side by side As the seasons pass our hearts they beat as one And I will fight for you each day until they're done Let our love be true We'll be together and I'll be here growing old with you by my side How it's meant to be my love, I'll be growing old with you I'll be growing old with you Darling, I'll be growing old with you
