I am a Christian, do you know what that means? It means I'm far from perfect but simply redeemed I was bought with a purpose, purchased by love It's not a form of religion, but a gift from above I am not perfect, I have been redeemed
I am a believer, listen do you know what that means? It means I've pledged my life, I gave Him everything And just to know He loves someone like me 'Cause I am not perfect but I have been redeemed, redeemed
While I was yet in my transgressions Somebody paid the price for me I offered up my life to Him and now I say again I am not perfect but simply redeemed
I am your sister, can I show you the way? We'll walk this road together Yes we will, we'll take it day by day By faith I know we'll make this journey's end Make no mistake about it
You have been redeemed, redeemed Are you a gain of your transgressions Jesus, He payed to set you free So offer up your life to Him accept His love And then you can begin to walk together
I have been redeemed, yes redeemed While I was yet in my transgressions Jesus He died to save you and me So why not give your life to Him, accept His love And then begin to walk together hand in hand
And surely He will heal our land And on that day He comes again And we will find our rest in Him And then we'll be perfect and then we'll be perfect
No more tears and no more pain What a [Incomprehensible] that will be He's held me in His hand, cared by His grace We'll be perfect, [Incomprehensible] his face We will be perfect, we will be perfect Simply redeemed
I was looking for an answer trying to turn the page But always holding onto the past I built these walls around me but somehow You have found me Now I know a joy that will last
'Cause in this love You gave amazing grace And healed my broken soul And from Your mighty throne You held me close And made this wounded whole
You could write a note across the sky Make heaven testify 'cause You are awesome And You could make the mountains shout Your name While the angels sing Your praise
So I wonder how an extraordinary God could love an ordinary me I'll never understand it, how Your love has set me free
I gotta know how can the King of Glory care so much about me? That You would choose to give up Your life With every changing season You love me without reason Everything I have You provide
I fall on my knees and give You praise I will worship You alone You are the only God, the highest power I live to make You known
You could write a note across the sky Make heaven testify 'cause You are awesome And You could make the mountains shout Your name While the angels sing Your praise
Oh, I wonder how an extraordinary God could love an ordinary me
And though I don't deserve this gift of mercy and abounding grace You blessed me with it anyway I'm not ashamed to tell the world about You That You're more than enough for an ordinary girl like me
You could write a note across the sky Make heaven testify 'cause You are awesome And You could make the mountains shout Your name While the angels sing
You could write a note across the sky Make heaven testify You could make the mountains shout Your name While the angels sing Your praise
I will say that an extraordinary God, He loves an ordinary me
You could write a note across the sky Make heaven testify You could make the mountains shout Your name While the angels sing Your praise
I can say that an extraordinary God can love an ordinary girl like me
You could write a note across the sky Make heaven testify You could make the mountains shout Your name While the angels sing Your praise
I'd give you the moon, but you'd never know the warmth of the sunshine, I'd give you the world, but actually what would that do. I'd promise you wings to fly, but how would you ever learn to run, So I wish you all you need, to be more than I can be. This is what I wish for you.
I wish you rainy days, so you can know the beauty of a clear blue sky I wish you falling leaves, so you'll understand that seasons change. Cause, if I gave you the mountains, would you learn to climb, I pray you'll always see; the forest through the trees. And this is what I wish for you, And this is what I wish for you.
If I could I'd say the word and take your fears away, And I'd stay right by your side and show the way you should take. But this your life, this is your story, and we know this, go ahead and say, I hope you live with no regrets.
I wish you ocean breeze, and rivers that can bring you everything you dream, I wish that the air you breathe, is all that you'll ever need. And I wish you nights of love, and days of joy and shoulders when you cry, And just enough helloes, to get you through, goodbye, And this is what I wish for you.
I pray one day you'll have a home, with arms stood open wide, And you'll have someone who loves you, always by your side, And if you lose your will to try, I wish you wings to fly. I wish you wings to fly.
I wish you everything you need.
And this is what I wish for you, And this is what I wish for you.
Father Help Your children And don't let them fall By the side of the road
And teach them To love one another That Heaven might find A place in their hearts
'Cause Jesus is love He won't let you down And I know He's mine forever Oh, in my heart
We've got to walk on Walk on through temptation 'Cause His love and His wisdom Will be our helpin' hand
And I know the truth And His words will be our salvation Lift up our hearts To be thankful and glad
That Jesus is love He won't let you down And I know He's mine Deep down in my soul
Jesus is love Oh, yes, He is He won't let you down And I know He's mine, He's mine, He's mine, He's mine, all mine Forever, oh, in my heart Help me, heart, heart Oh, oh

How can You forgive me when I've often gone astray? How can You think of me when I do things my way? Turning my back from You, the one who loved me first Having my own desires, renewing my worldly thirst
You told me You loved me and I should make up my mind You tell me come back now, but I keep wasting time Feeling so very weak, You say I can be strong But I feel I've gone too far, but You tell me to come home You love me still and I know this is real
And I am running back to You, I see You're standing there for me Your arms are opened wide and I don't have to cry no more You're standing there for me and I am running back to You Why do I go away when I know I am no good when I'm on my own?
You told me You could keep me but I've turned it away I failed You so much now I don't know what to say Using the same excuse that I'm only human But You tell me You have been there And hold your nail scarred hands so I can see Now I know I am free
'Cause You're standing there for me and I am running back to You Why do I go away when I know I am no good? I have taken advantage of Your love and grace Forgive me Lord and take me back home, take me back home
'Cause I'm running to You, Jesus please take me home You see I'm tired of pain and I don't like fear But Lord, I gotta be more sincere
And I am running back to You, I see You're standing there for me Your arms are opened wide and I don't have to cry no more You're standing there for me and I am running back to You I never should have left Your side, no, no Return me to Your guiding light, return me to Your guiding light

Oh, to see the dawn of the darkest day Christ on the road to Calvary Tried by sinful men, torn and beaten then Nailed to a cross of wood
This the power of the cross Christ became sin for us He took the blame, bore the wrath We stand forgiven at the cross
Oh, to see the pain written on Your face Bearing the awesome weight of all my sin Every bitter thought, every evil deed Crowning Your bloodstained brow
This the power of the cross Christ became sin for us He took the blame and bore the wrath We stand forgiven at the cross
Now the daylight flees, now the ground beneath Quakes as its Maker bows His head Curtain torn in two, dead are raised to life Finished the victory cry
This the power of the cross And Christ became sin for us He took the blame and bore the wrath We stand forgiven at the cross
Oh, to see my name written in the wounds For through Your suffering I am free Death is crushed to death and life is mine to live Won through Your selfless love
And this the power of the cross Son of God, slain for us What a love, what a cost We stand forgiven at, we stand forgiven at We stand forgiven at the cross
Our Father who reigns on Zion Mighty and true, give us this day The gift of Your grace Your love and Your righteousness Your love and Your righteousness
Our Father who reigns on Zion Broken we bow, here in this place Come, as we praise The power of Your holy name The Power of Your holy name
Let every voice and nation proclaim That You are the Lord of all Our Fortress and Tower How pure are Your ways In faith we surrender Your call
Giver of life We lay at Your feet Still and complete In awe of Your holiness In awe of Your holiness
