Lose Your Blues In The Pews





Hallelujah  Hallelujah


VERSE 1

Amen when it lands just right, Hosanna in my mess,

Glory when the morning breaks, Mercy in distress 

Said every word the saints have said, sung 'em sweet and fine

But they all fall short of something 

Somethin' more divine 


CHORUS

Hallelujah, hallelujah 

Feel it kick and carry through ya,

Amen, glory I ran through 'em,

But they all fall into hallelujah


Hallelujah, hallelujah 

Chains fall off and skies break through ya,

When it hits, it hits you new 

I don't say it I turn into hallelujah


VERSE 2

Tried to keep it clean and lined up, polished every prayer,

But the crack ran through the careful 

And the Word was already there 

Not rehearsed, not contained,

Like a fire finds the air 

Burned beyond the language that I knew 

Till the only true thing standing was hallelujah 


CHORUS

Hallelujah, hallelujah 

Feel it kick and carry through ya,

Amen, glory I ran through 'em,

But they all fall into hallelujah


Hallelujah, hallelujah 

Chains fall off and skies break through ya,

When it hits, it hits you new 

I don't say it I turn into hallelujah


QUARTET

 Some say "Amen"

Amen

Some say "Glory"

Glory

Some cry "Mercy"

Mercy

But when it finds you 

Hallelujah hallelujah


BRIDGE

Let it rise when you're right, let it roll when you're wrong,

Let it run through the weak, let it ring in the strong 

Not a word you can hold, not a line you can prove 

It's the sound of a soul breaking loose 


FINAL CHORUS

Hallelujah, hallelujah 

Fill the floor and flood the pew now,

Clap your hands, let heaven hear you 

Every heartbeat drums hallelujah


Hallelujah, hallelujah 

Old made new and split in two now,

Grace has got a hold on you 

And it won't stop hallelujah


OUTRO

Hallelujah, hallelujah 

Hallelujah, hallelujah 

Till your breath runs out of you 

And your breath becomes hallelujah




Let Me Live Inside Your Love


Verse 1

I ran out of road and I ran out of will

Called on an old promise   He honored it still

He said those who wait on Me rise like the dawn

I was nearly gone Lord but You carried me on


CHORUS

Lift me up, hold me close

You're the One I need the most

Carry me on wings above

Let me live inside Your love


Verse 2

Older than my fear is a line in the Book

Everlasting arms catch you wherever you look

When the floor gives way and there's nothing to stand

Those arms were under the world before the world began


CHORUS

Lift me up, hold me close

You're the One I need the most

Carry me on wings above

Let me live inside Your love


Bridge

Underneath   underneath

The everlasting arms

He'll hold you   He'll keep you

Safe from every harm

Underneath   underneath

Wherever you fall

Those arms were before the world

And they will hold us all


Verse 3

No devil breaks the grip of the nail-scarred hand

What the Father gave the Son will forever stand

Come darkness, come howling, come do your worst

I was bought by the Shepherd who loved me first


CHORUS

Lift us up, hold us close

You're the One we need the most

Carry us on wings above

Let us live inside Your love


Lift us up, hold us close

You're the One we need the most

Carry us on wings above

Let us live inside Your love


Lift us up, hold us close

You're the One we need the most

Carry us on wings above

Let us live inside Your love


Outro

Let us live inside Your love

Let us live inside Your love

Let us live inside Your love



Not I, But Grace


Verse 1

I fought the bold temptations, the sins that shout your name,

Despair in darkened corners, the slow and steady pain.

I spoke the Word like thunder, watched darkness turn and race,

Thought I had won the battles till the serpent changed his face.


Verse 2

No roar, no fire, no fury, no chains to drag me down,

Just quiet congratulations, a soft and subtle sound:

“You’ve walked the road so faithful, you’ve run a holy race

Sure heaven owes you something surely this is grace.”


Chorus

Not I, but grace every step I take,

Not I, but grace for every move I make,

What have I that I didn’t receive?

Even my best is borrowed grace.

Lay every crown down in its place 

It’s not I it’s grace.


Verse 3

It almost sounded righteous, it almost felt like peace,

A lie dressed up in Sunday clothes that never seemed to cease.

Till truth cut through the flattery like lightning through the night:

“You are what you’ve been given not a word of it you write.”


Verse 4

The breath behind my speaking, the strength beneath my stand,

Was never mine to gather, was never mine to plan.

If I have walked the narrow, if I have kept the pace,

It’s mercy in the motion it’s mercy, it’s grace.


Chorus

Not I, but grace every step I take,

Not I, but grace for every move I make,

What have I that I didn’t receive?

Even my best is borrowed grace.

Lay every crown down in its place 

It’s not I it’s grace.


Bridge

And when the fight gets bitter, and when the pressure’s on,

It’s not because you’re losing it’s ‘cause his time is gone.

If he can’t steal your future, he’ll try to shake your peace,

But grace outlasts the shaking grace will never cease.

No, he can’t claim your ending, he can’t erase your name,

He only throws distractions at a losing game.

So stand when you are wounded, and sing it to his face 

You didn’t earn your victory


It’s grace!

It’s grace!

It’s grace!


Chorus

Not I, but grace when I rise or fall,

Not I, but grace still it covers all,

Every breath and every heartbeat trace

Back to the mercy I can’t replace.

All of my life one truth I’ll say:

It’s not I it’s grace.



We Are All God's Children


Intro

We Are All God’s Children

We Are All God’s Children

We Are All God’s Children

Every wandering, wondering one.


Verse 1

Look around at the faces that pass in the street,

The stumbling, the striving, the strong and the beat,

The Potter don’t fashion two vessels the same,

Some are fresh from the fire, some still in the flame  

Not one of them landed here broken by chance,

Every child of the Father deserves one more glance.


Chorus

We are all God’s children,

Every last cracked and glorious one,

Some are walking in the shadow,

Some are walking in the sun  

Some have lost their way a little,

Some are just now finding grace,

But the Father keeps on watching,

Love is written on every face  

We are all God’s children,

Every wandering, wondering one.


Verse 2

Some opened a door to the wrong kind of night,

Some are tangled in darkness and can’t find the light  

But the hardest of hard is to look at that face

And still see the image of God in its place.

You’re allowed to feel weary, allowed to be tried  

But love isn’t love if it only loves the qualified.


Chorus

We are all God’s children,

Every last cracked and glorious one,

Some are walking in the shadow,

Some are walking in the sun  

Some have lost their way a little,

Some are just now finding grace,

But the Father keeps on watching,

Love is written on every face  

We are all God’s children,

Every wandering, wondering one.


Bridge

When your patience runs thin and the day runs long,

When the right feels heavy but the wrong feels strong,

When that face right in front of you’s hard to forgive,

And you ain’t got the mercy you’re supposed to give  


Chorus

We are all God’s children,

Every last cracked and glorious one,

Some are walking in the shadow,

Some are walking in the sun  

Some are lost and calling out,

Some don’t even know His name,

But the Father’s out there running,

Calling every one the same  

We are all God’s children,

Every wandering, wondering one.


Choir lift

We are all God’s children,

We are all God’s children,

We are all God’s children,

Every wandering, wondering one.


Outro

We are all God’s children

Every last one

Every last one.



Fear Not


Intro

Fear not

Fear not

Fear not, child, fear not


Verse 1

Fear not  

He knew your name before you drew your breath

Fear not  

He walked you through the valley floor of death

Fear not  

He's in the deep water, He's on the mountain high

Fear not  

No place you go He hasn't been there first, so

Fear not  

When the dark comes rolling in like a tide

Fear not  

He was standing in that darkness by your side

Fear not  

You can't drag Him somewhere He don't already know

Fear not  

He was there before you even let go, so


Chorus

Fear not, fear not

He will not let you fall

Fear not, fear not

He already heard your call

Fear not, fear not

Grace is bigger than it all

Fear not  

Fear not  

FEAR NOT


Verse 2

Fear not  

I do the very thing I hate and still

Fear not  

Grace came running hard before I could stand still

Fear not  

The good I meant to do and never found

Fear not  

He already covered all that broken ground, so

Fear not  

When you think you've gone too far down the road

Fear not  

There's a Father at the window, watching home

Fear not  

He ain't standing at the door with arms all crossed

Fear not  

He was running toward you long before you got lost, so


Chorus

Fear not, fear not

He will not let you fall

Fear not, fear not

He already heard your call

Fear not, fear not

Grace is bigger than it all

Fear not  

Fear not  

FEAR NOT


Bridge

Darkness isn't dark to Him

Night shines bright as day

Can't go anywhere He isn't

Can't run far enough away

So stop running, stop hiding

Stop calling it the end

He's already in the valley

He'll walk you out again


Verse 3

Fear not  

Three hundred sixty five times in the Word

Fear not  

Every single morning that's a promise to be heard

Fear not  

Not the fear that drives you running from His face

Fear not  

That's the fear of a child who's finally found his place, so


Chorus

Fear not, fear not

He will not let you fall

Fear not, fear not

He already heard your call

Fear not, fear not

Grace is bigger than it all

Fear not, fear not

He is in the storm

Fear not, fear not

From the deep to the height

Fear not, fear not

He has been there every night

Fear not  

Fear not  

FEAR NOT


Outro

FEAR NOT



I’m Living Out


Verse 1

Out of the dark where the shadows held doubt,

Out of the pit where there was no way out,

Out of the mud where my feet spun about,

Out by His hand He pulled me out.


Out of my fear that was shouting so loud,

Out of the storm in the middle of clouds,

Out of the weight that was bending me down,

Out into mercy no longer bound.


Chorus

Out cold, out back, out front, no doubt,

Out lost, out tossed, but He pulled me out,

Out fast, I pass from the old to the new 

Out loud, I shout what His love can do.


Verse 2

Out of my heart now the rivers run free,

Out of my mouth comes a new melody,

Out of my chest where the chains used to be,

Out flows a life that was planted in me.


Out on the road where the broken hearts roam,

Out in the wide but I’m never alone,

Out in His will, yeah He’s leading me home,

Out in His grace I finally belong.


Chorus

Out cold, out back, out front, no doubt,

Out lost, out tossed, but He pulled me out,

Out fast, I pass from the old to the new 

Out loud, I shout what His love can do.


Bridge

Out goes the fear when His love draws near,

Out goes the lie that I used to hear,

Out of the grave, yeah it’s crystal clear 

Out now in life, I’m standing here.


Chorus

Out cold, out back, out front, no doubt,

Out lost, out tossed, but He pulled me out,

Out fast, I pass from the old to the new 

Out loud, I shout what His love can do.


Outro

Out loud, I shout I’m living out.



Heal My Hardened Heart


Verse 1

I've been walking through the motions,

Going through the moves,

Singing all the right words

But nothing's in the groove.

Something in me has gone silent,

Something turned to stone  

Lord, I'm standing in Your temple

But I feel so far from home.


Chorus

Lord, I need You like the morning

Needs the rising of the sun  

Make me tender, make me willing,

Let Your mercy overcome.

I've been torn apart by distance,

Lord, I need a brand new start  

OH LORD, HEAL MY HARDENED HEART.

And bring me back to life.


Verse 2

I remember when Your nearness

Was the breath inside my chest,

When I came to You with nothing

And You gave me all the rest.

But the years have built a wall up,

Stone by stone by stone  

Lord, You shattered what was hopeless,

Don't leave this one alone.


Chorus

Lord, I need You like the morning

Needs the rising of the sun  

Make me tender, make me willing,

Let Your mercy overcome.

I've been torn apart by distance,

Lord, I need a brand new start  

OH LORD, HEAL MY HARDENED HEART.

And bring me back to life.


Chorus

Lord, I need You like the morning

Needs the rising of the sun  

Make me tender, make me willing,

Let Your mercy overcome.

I've been torn apart by distance,

Lord, I need a brand new start  


OH LORD   HEAL   MY   HARDENED   HEART.

And bring me back  

Bring me back  

BRING ME BACK TO LIFE.



It All Comes Down To One


Intro

Before the first word broke the silence,

before the light outran the dark,

before the stars were hung in balance 

there was One with just one heart.

And everything that's said and done

it all comes down to One.


Verse 1

He spoke and nothing learned its name,

the dark stood back, the morning came.

The Maker crowned it, called it won 

one word and all of it was done.


Chorus

Oh clap your hands, come everyone,

don't you see what has been done?

From every star to every sun 

it all comes down to One!


Verse 2

One name, one road, one open door,

not a symbol   something more.

Thorns and timber, blood and breath,

one life laid down to swallow death.


Chorus

Oh clap your hands, come everyone,

don't you see what has been done?

From every star to every sun 

it all comes down to One!


Verse 3

The Spirit came and didn't leave,

he moves in ways we can't conceive.

He seals what only God has won,

the flame that burns for everyone.


Chorus

Oh clap your hands, come everyone,

don't you see what has been done?

From every star to every sun 

it all comes down to One!


Verse 4

Father spoke it, Jesus lived it,

Spirit seals it, love revealed it.

Every road, every prodigal run 

the Word made flesh for everyone.


Chorus

Oh clap your hands, come everyone,

don't you see what has been done?

From every star to every sun 

it all comes down to One!


Outro

It all comes down to One

It all comes down to One

It all comes down to One.

Lose Your Blues In The Pews


Intro

Sit down slow, lay your burden loose,

You don’t have to carry what you didn’t choose.

If your heart’s been heavy, if your faith feels used,

There’s a quiet kind of mercy in these pews


Verse 1

You came in tired, wearing Sunday skin,

Smiling on the outside, storming within.

But grace ain’t waiting for you to improve,

It meets you right here no need to prove.


There’s a table set where the lost get found,

No velvet rope, just an open ground,

Where the last walk in and the first step down,

And the broken rise when the chains fall down.


Pre-Chorus

You can bring your questions, bring your doubt,

Bring the thing you’re too ashamed to talk about 

Ain’t a soul in here that ain’t been through,

What you’re carrying in with you


Chorus

Lose your blues in the pews, let the good news move ya,

Came in worn down, walk out hallelujah 

Clap your hands if you’ve been pulled on through,

Leave that weight in the wood of the pew!


Lose your blues in the pews, feel the chains unglue ya,

Tears turn to a testimony you can use, yeah 

If you walked in one way, you don’t have to leave that you,

Lose your blues in the pews!


Verse 2

There’s a fire catching in the back row seat,

Traveling heart to heart, foot to feet,

Started as a whisper, now it won’t stay still,

When the Spirit says “rise,” you rise you will.


No perfect people, just a perfect grace,

Running every rebel to a resting place,

Where the weary dance and the doubters sing,

And the silent shout ‘cause they felt something.


Pre-Chorus

You don’t need a reason, don’t need a cue,

If He found a way to reach me, He’ll reach you 

Go on, stand up, let it break on through,

What He’s starting in this room


Chorus

Lose your blues in the pews, let the good news move ya,

Came in worn down, walk out hallelujah 

Clap your hands if you’ve been pulled on through,

Leave that weight in the wood of the pew!


Lose your blues in the pews, feel the chains unglue ya,

Tears turn to a testimony you can use, yeah 

If you walked in one way, you don’t have to leave that you,

Lose your blues in the pews!


Bridge

From pew to hallelujah,

From barely hanging on to “He brought me through ya” 

From sitting in silence to shouting the truth,

From “I’m not enough” to “He made me new.”


There’s room in the pew come and see for yourself,

Ain’t no shelf for your shame, ain’t no saving yourself,

It’s a gift, not a wage, it’s a door, not a shelf 

Step in with your hurt, walk out with His help!


Chorus

Lose your blues in the pews, let the whole church move ya,

Ain’t nobody leaving like they came in, do ya?

Stomp your feet if you know it’s true,

He did it for me, He’ll do it for you!


Lose your blues in the pews, let the joy run through ya,

Turn a seat into a shouting hallelujah 

If you walked in one way, you don’t have to leave that you,

Lose your blues in the pews!


Outro

Mmm

Lay it down, you don’t have to choose 

Love already chose you

Lose your blues in the pews
