The minutes dissolve as I fight this fall
I'm learning to crawl, and trembling I call
Restrain my heart, replace it with You
Jesus I deny myself, I will follow You
'Cause there will be a day
When all will fade away and all that will remain
Is loving you face to face
Jesus, I pray that You would come today
Faith will be replaced With loving You face to face
You are the Gate which I entered in
You are the Path in which I'm following
You are the Light that carries me through
You are the guide leading me back to You
'Cause there will be a day
When all will fade away and all that will remain
Is loving you face to face
Jesus, I pray that You would come today
Faith will be replaced With loving You face to face
(With loving You face to face)

Seems like all I can see was the struggle
Haunted by ghosts that lived in my past
Bound up in shackles of all my failures
Wondering how long is this gonna last
Then You look at this prisoner and say to me "son
Stop fighting a fight that's already been won"

CHORUS
I am redeemed, You set me free
So I'll shake off theses heavy chains
And wipe away every stain now I'm not who I used to be
I am redeemed I'm redeemed

All my life I have been called unworthy
Named by the voice of my shame and regret
But when I hear You whisper, "Child lift up your head"
I remember oh God, You're not done with me yet

CHORUS (above)

Because I don't have to be the old man inside of me
'Cause his day is long dead and gone
Because I've got a new name, a new life I'm not the same
And a hope that will carry me home

CHORUS (above) x2
Oh God I'm not who I used to be
Jesus I'm not who I used to be
'Cause I am redeemed Thank God, redeemed

door of hope version

I have a father His name is mercy
He never lets me slide too low
He always lifts me a little higher
His story struck me His face I know

CHORUS: Now I’m redeemed, Thank God, I’m redeemed
Now I’m redeemed, Thank Jesus Christ
By the blood from His hands and His feet
And By the blood that He shed for me
And By the blood from His hands and His feet lord
……………I am redeemed

We have gathered for nothing worldly
No cause of man can make us sing
It’s for the glory of our great savior
That the guitars and trumpets ring

CHORUS (above)

When we reach our home in heaven
Not by our hands, but by the grace of God
He’ll collect our crowns of earthly labor
He’ll receive our eternal applause

CHORUS (above)

You have redeemed my soul From the pit of emptiness
You have redeemed my soul From death
You have redeemed my soul From the pit of emptiness
You have redeemed my soul From death

I was a hungry child A dried up river
I was a burned out forest
And no one could do anything for me

But You put food in my body
Water in my dry bed
And to my blackened branches
You brought the Springtime green of new life
And nothing is impossible for You

You have redeemed my soul From the pit of emptiness
You have redeemed my soul From death
You have redeemed my soul From the pit of emptiness
You have redeemed my soul From death

You have redeemed my soul From the pit of emptiness
You have redeemed my soul From death
You have redeemed my soulFrom the pit of emptiness
You have redeemed my soulFrom death

If I told you my story
You would hear Hope that wouldn't let go

And if I told you my story
You would hear Love that never gave up

And if I told you my story You would hear Life,
but it wasn't mine, If I should speak then let it be

CHORUS:
Of the grace that is greater than all my sin

Of when justice was served and where mercy wins
Of the kindness of Jesus that draws me in
Oh to tell you my story is to tell of Him

If I told you my story You would hear victory over the enemy
And if I told you my story

You would hear freedom that was won for me
And if I told you my story You would hear Life,

overcome the grave If I should speak then let it be

CHORUS (above)

This is my story, this is my song
Praising my savior all the day long x2

CHORUS (above)

Oh to tell you my story is to tell of Him x2

This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long

How great the chasm that lay between us
How high the mountain I could not climb
In desperation, I turned to heaven And spoke Your name into the night
Then through the darkness, Your loving-kindness
Tore through the shadows of my soul
The work is finished the end is written Jesus Christ my living hope

Who could imagine so great a mercy?
What heart could fathom such boundless grace?
The God of ages stepped down from glory
To wear my sin and bear my shame The cross has spoken, I am forgiven
The King of kings calls me His own
Beautiful Savior, I'm Yours forever Jesus Christ, my living hope

CHORUS: (Hallelujah, praise the One who set me free
Hallelujah, death has lost its grip on me
You have broken every chain There's salvation in Your name
Jesus Christ, my living hope x2)

Then came the morning that sealed the promise
Your buried body began to breathe Out of the silence, the Roaring Lion
Declared the grave has no claim on me
Then came the morning that sealed the promise
Your buried body began to breathe Out of the silence, the Roaring Lion
Declared the grave has no claim on me Jesus, Yours is the victory,
whoa!

CHORUS x2

Jesus Christ, my living hope
Oh God, You are my living hope

Let no one caught in sin remain Inside the lie of inward shame
We fix our eyes upon the cross
And run to Him who showed great love
And bled for us Freely You've bled for us

Christ is risen from the dead Trampling over death by death
Come awake come awake Come & rise up from the grave x2

Beneath the weight of all our sin
You bowed to none but Heaven's will
No scheme of Hell, no scoffer's crown
No burden great can hold You down
In strength You reign Forever let Your church proclaim

Christ is risen from the dead Trampling over death by death
Come awake come awake Come & rise up from the grave x2

O death, where is your sting? O hell, where is your victory?
O church, come stand in the light
The glory of God has defeated the night
Sing it, o death, where is your sting?
O hell where is your victory? O church come stand in the light
Our God is not dead, He's alive, He's alive

Christ is risen from the dead Trampling over death by death
Come awake come awake Come & rise up from the grave x3

He’s alive, He’s alive Our God is not Dead x 3

How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory

Behold the man upon a cross My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

(Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom ) x 2

He is jealous for me, Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realize just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.

CHORUS: And oh, how He loves us oh Oh how He loves us,
How He loves us all

He is jealous for me, Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realize just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.

CHORUS (above)
And we are His portion and He is our prize,
Drawn to redemption by the grace in His eyes,
If His grace is an ocean, we're all sinking.
And heaven meets earth like an unforeseen kiss,
And my heart turns violently inside of my chest,
I don't have time to maintain these regrets,
When I think about, the way

Oh how He loves us Oh oh how He loves us how He loves.
Oh how he loves, Yeah, He loves us, Oh how He loves us,
Oh how He loves us, Oh how He loves. X2

Your love, oh Lord
Reaches to the heavens
Your faithfulness stretches to the sky
Your righteousness is like the mighty

In the shadow on Your wings
Repeat all

Give me hope that I can drink it
Quench my thirst and so much more
Wash my wounds cause Ive been bleeding
I want life worth living for

CHORUS:
Lead me to the well, never runs dry
Fill me again, from the fountain of live
Flood my heart until I’m satisfied
Lead me here to the well, never runs dry

Ive been thirsting for so long,
Need the taste of something new
Bones are aching just to feel strong,
I want to feel this life inside of you

CHORUS (above)

This is life and this is Freedom, this is love that I can tell
You are more than I can take in
Flowing out of me like a living well

Before I call Before I ever cry You answer me
From where the thunder hides I can't outrun
This heart I'm tethered to When every step I collide with You

Like a tidal wave Crashing over me Rushing in to meet me here
Your love is fierce Like a hurricane
That I can't escape Tearing through the atmosphere
Your love is fierce

You cannot fail The only thing I've found
Is through it all You never let me down
You don't hold back Relentless in pursuit
At every turn I come face to face with You

Like a tidal wave Crashing over me Rushing in to meet me here
Your love is fierce Like a hurricane
That I can't escape Tearing through the atmosphere
Your love is fierce

You surround me You chase me down You seek me out
How can I be lost when You have called me found

[You chase me down You seek me out
How can I be lost when You have called me found] x 2

Like a tidal wave Crashing over me Rushing in to meet me here
Your love is fierce Like a hurricane
That I can't escape Tearing through the atmosphere

You never let go Your love is fierce Even now You surround me
Your love is fierce Always, always His love is fierce

It's the beauty of simplicity That brings me down to my knees
I'll Praise You for eternity And Lord I love you
Because you, you first loved me

It's the beauty of simplicity That fills me with eternity
I tasted your divinity And Lord I love you
Because you, you first loved me

And all God's people say, we love you We love you Lord
We love you And we, we love you We love you Lord
We love you We love you

It's the beauty of simplicity That brings me down to my knees
I'll praise you for eternity And Lord I love you
Because you, you first loved...

You gave yourself away Just that I could stay
You took my place in death And rose that I could say
that you are holy And you alone Deserve my praise

And all God's people say
We, we love you We love you Lord
We love you And we, we love you We love you Lord
We love you We love you

And We, we love you We love you Lord
We love you And we, we love you We love you Lord
We love you We love you

Romans 10:9-10
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your
heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved.10 For with the heart

one believes and is justified and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.
2 Corinthians 5:17-19

17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come:[a] The old has
gone, the new is here! 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself
through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation: 19 that God was

reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against
them.

John 6:28-29
28 Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of
God?” 29 Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him

whom he has sent.”
Romans 8:16

16 The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God.
