All you even wanted

I just looked up today And realized how far away I am from where You are You gave me life worth dying for But between the altar and the door I bought the lies that promised more And here I go again Lord, I know I let You down But somehow, I will make You proud I'll turn this sinking ship around And make it back to You But all my deeds and my good name Are just dirty rags that tear and strain To cover all my guilty stains That You already washed away 'Cause All You've ever wanted,  All You've ever wanted was my heart Freedom's arms are open, my chains have all been broken Relentless love has called me from the start And all You wanted was my heart I was chasing healing when I'd been made well I was fighting battles when You conquered hell Living free but from a prison cell Lord, I lay it down today So I'll stop living off of how I feel And start standing on Your truth revealed Jesus is my strength, my shield And He will never fail me No more chains, I'...

You were always there

I remember the moment, I remember the pain I was only a girl, but I grew up that day Tears were falling I know You saw me Hiding there in my bedroom, so alone I was doing my best, trying to be strong No one to turn to That's when I met You All this time, from the first tear cried 'Till today's sunrise And every single moment between You were there, You were always there It was You and I You've been walking with me all this time Ever since that day, it's been clear to me That no matter what comes, You will never leave I know You're FOR me And You're restoring Every heartache and failure, every broken dream You're the God who sees, the God who rescued me This is my story I felt love, I felt Your grace You stole my heart that day

Come as you are

Come out of sadness From wherever you've been Come broken hearted Let rescue begin Come find your mercy Oh sinner come kneel Earth h as no sorrow That heaven can't heal Earth has no sorrow That heaven can't heal So lay down your burdens Lay down your shame All who are broken Lift up your face Oh wanderer come home You're not too far So lay down your hurt Lay down your heart Come as you are There's hope for the hopeless And all those who've strayed Come sit at the table Come taste the grace There's rest for the weary Rest that endures Earth has no sorrow That heaven can't cure
