Avalon [Gospel]

I know it's hard to believe
When your eyes just can't see
So lean on Me
I have not disappeared
And I can see you from here
Tears are blinding you from the truth
Oh, I'm right here in front of you

Won't you reach out and take My hand
Don't be afraid of love
Don't be afraid of love
I'll know you'll find your strength again
Don't lose your faith
Don't be afraid

There are questions you face
With no answers in place
So just believe
For tomorrow will come
And with it, the morning sun
Oh, I hope you will let Me in
That's when the healing begins

Won't you reach out and take My hand
Don't be afraid of love
Don't be afraid of love
I'll know you'll find your strength again
Don't lose your faith
Don't be afraid

There's a wall surrounding you
Love alone can make it through
You're caught up in the circle you drew
And when your world starts tumblin' down
I'll pick the pieces off the ground
I wanna be there for you

Won't you reach out and take My hand
Don't be afraid of love
Don't be afraid of love
I'll know you'll find your strength again
Don't lose your faith
Don't be afraid

I'm looking for a sign
To show me how
To cross the distance
And leave this all behind
I want to run
But there's no motion here
Just lifeless moments
Locked outside
And all that's left are tears
To cool the sun

Everything is gray
Tell me is there such a place

Where hearts are never broken
Dreams don't die
Souls are never searching
Crying out for a reason why
And love is everlasting
A place where there are no more fears
Far away from here

Will you reach out to me
Pull me through
A world of sorrow
To where I'm meant to be
From dark to light

Oh, where there is no more gray
Oh, tell me, please tell me is there such a place

I want to go far away from here
I want to go far away from here
I want to fly far away from here

Far away, far away
Far away from here

Dreams will never
Dreams will never die
Souls will never ever wonder why
And we will all be standing in the light

I wonder how it must have felt
When David stood to face Goliath on a hill
I imagine that he shook with all his might
Until you took his hand, and held on tight

'Cause You were there, You were there
In the midst of danger's snare
You were there, You were there always
You were there when the hardest fight
Seemed so out of reach
Oh, You were there, You were always there
You were always there

So there he stood upon that hill
Abraham with knife in hand was poised to kill
But God in all his sovereighnty had bigger plans
ANd just in time, You brought a lamb

'Cause You were there, You were there
In the midst of the unclear
You were there, You were there always
You were there when obedience
Seemed to not make sense
You were there, You were always there
You were always there

So haven't I learned that my ways
Aren't as high as Youres are
and You alone keep the universe
from crumbling into dust
You are God and though we would
not have understood You
there You were

Hanging blameless on a cross
You would rather die than leave us in the dark
every moment, every planned coincidence
Just all makes sense
with Your last breath

You were there, You were there
during history's darkest hour
You were there, You were there always
You were the Victor and the King
You were the power in the David's swing
You were the calm in Abraham
You are the God who understands
You are the strength when we have none
You are the living, Holy one
You were, You are and You will always be
The Risen Lamb of God

You were, You are and You will asways be
The Risen Lamb of God

I wanna tell You things I've never told
And take You into the center of my soul
I wanna run through
The fields of your imagination

Under the blue skies, You're the golden sun
The light in my eyes, I know You are the One
See where my heart lies
As you guide me through the shades of gray

Along the way
I will hang on every single word You say
And never live to see my dying day
I'd walk the aisle a million miles
To see You smile

I wanna know how it feels to believe in something
Ride on the heels of a good thing coming
Run to the one thing I know is something true
I wanna be with You

Want You to show me the wonder of the word
Want You to hear me like no one's ever heard
You have and hold me
Leading me out of the darkest night

Into the light
And never has it ever been so right
And from this moment on You are the sight
I can't erase
I close my eyes, I see Your face

I wanna know how it feels to believe in something
Ride on the heels of a good thing coming
Run to the one thing I know is something true
I wanna be with You

Every day, every night
For the rest of my life
I wanna be where You are
'Cause You're never very far away
I always wanna be with You

I wanna tell You things I've never told
And take You into the center of my soul
I wanna run through
The fields of your imagination

I wanna know how it feels to believe in something
Ride on the heels of a good thing coming
Run to the one thing I know is something true

I wanna live my life like I hold the meaning
Deep inside my soul I hear the music screaming
Eyes wide open I'm awake and dreaming, too
I wanna be with You

Life, lived in the world of chaos
Leaves me feeling lost and so alone
Oh, I'm searching for a reason to hold on
But I know there's new light with every dawn
Where peace beyond my understanding waits
Through the power of the cross
Christ will give new life

Abundantly, more than I could ever know
Where amazing is so ordinary
And mercy overflows
Abundantly, and love will open up my eyes
If I'm willing to believe
Christ will give new life abundantly

Now I give you my heart completely
It's the only way that I can truly live
Nothing I have found could ever satisfy
Like giving you all of my life oh, no
And thank you for the grace you showed to me
Through the power of the cross
And the love that I receive

Abundantly, more than I could ever know
Where amazing is so ordinary
And mercy overflows
Abundantly, and love, it will open up my eyes
If I'm willing to believe, I know
Christ will give new life abundantly

See, I was looking for a reason
Someone to carry me through, oh yes
But, oh, I found the Lord in you

Abundantly, more than I could imagine
And so much more than I could ever know
Your love, your love
It's so amazing, yes, it is
And it has opened up my eyes
And now I'm willing to
I'm ready to believe, yes I am
Abundantly
So much more than I could ever know
Abundantly

Creed

I'm broken and battered
I'm desperately searching
For faith to make sense of the fall
The questions keep coming
I'm all out of answers
It's like I can't breathe at all
But I find what I've lost
When I look to the cross
For the truth, for the light guiding me

I believe that God is my Father
And Jesus Your Son
Is living and breathing in me
I believe
Oh, Your Spirit is with us
Giving hope and compassion
This is the Creed, I will live it
I will believe

God hear the prayers
Of someone who needs you
Fill me with Your peace and grace
Help me to cling to the rock of the ages
Every promise, every world I'll embrace
You are my strength
The stream in the desert
You hold my life in Your arms

I believe that God is my Father
And Jesus Your Son
Is living and breathing in me
I believe
Oh, Your Spirit is with us
Giving hope and compassion
This is the Creed, I will live it
I will believe

Each day You bring a morning
Full of your mercies, Your forgiveness
Full of life, brand new

I believe that God is my Father
And Jesus Your Son
Is living and breathing in me
I believe
Oh, Your Spirit is with us
Giving hope and compassion
This is the Creed, I will live it
I will believe

I believe
That He died just to save us
From the cross to the grave
On the third day
He rose
And He's coming again
I will live it 'til then
This is the Creed
This is the Creed, I will live it
I will believe

I've had a world of possibilities
Slip through my hands
And prayers that went unanswered
That I couldn't understand
There's a faith that can move mountains
But I never let it move me
I only trust in things that I could see

So much frustration in trying it alone
I've had the revelation I can't make it on my own

Deep in my heart
Deep in my soul
There was always something missing
Now you've got my full attention
I give you my life
Surrender control
I finally learned to listen to the call
I give you my all

There are moments in the journey
Where I wonder where you are
And sometimes I forget
That you live inside my heart
It's then I hear you whisper
"I've been here all along"
And I'm in the hands of mercy where I belong

A silent conversation when you speak to me
It's the sweetest inspiration and all I'll ever need

Deep in my heart
Deep in my soul
There was always something missing
Now you've got my full attention
I give you my life
Surrender control
I finally learned to listen to the call
I give you my all

Every single day in my life I live
Every little thing that I have to give
Lord I freely give it
Lord I freely give it

Every single day in my life I live
Every little thing that I have to give
Lord I freely give it
Lord I freely give it

Deep in my heart
Deep in my soul
There was always something missing
Now you've got my full attention
I give you my life
Surrender control
I finally learned to listen to the call
I give you my all

I give you my everything
All my life I surrender

They're gonna know that it's true

There were so many people who have walked this earth
Thinking that they know the truth
So they often criticize the way I believe
And they say "Tell me, tell me where is your proof?"
I tell them Jesus was wounded for my transgressions
He was bruised for my iniquities
They're gonna know that it's true

He walked upon the water, oh yes He did
And this same Jesus calmed the raging sea
He healed a man that was lame one day, oh yes He did
And from sinking sand He lifted me
But He was wounded for my transgressions
And He was bruised for my iniquities

They're gonna know that it's true

Jesus, He was sent from the Father
Jesus, the great Messiah
Jesus, He's bread for the hungry
Jesus, and He's water for the thirsty
Jesus, oh, just like He said

Ever knee shall bow, every tongue confess
That Jesus is Lord, that Jesus is Lord

Confiscated from the darkness
And placed the palaces of light
You pursued the very part of me
I didn't want to sacrifice

No, You're the muse my heart is after
You have won the passion of my soul
No, I find it's me that's chasing You
And I never want to let You go

Oh, Savior love
Lost without my Savior love
You'll always be the only One
Oh, my Savior love

I'm in love with Your mystery
And Your supernatural ways
Like when I overstep love's boundary
Only to fall into a bed of grace

Savior love, I am spellbound
At the very mention of Your name
I was set free when You captured me
And I'll never ever be the same

How I need you
Help me make it
Oh, my Savior love
Help me make it through

My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine;
For Thee all the follies of sin I resign;
My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou;
If ever I love Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

I love Thee because Thou hast first loved me,
And purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree;
I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow;
(Oh my savior) If ever I love Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

It is now (if ever I love my Savior, 'tis now etc)
It is now (if ever I love my Savior, 'tis now)

In mansions of glory and endless delight,
I'll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright;
I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow,
If ever I love Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

In a world of broken hearts, love is just a word
Used so often, what is means is blurred
People grow so hungry for a love they can believe
And will they find it here in you and me

Oh you must be care
If it's love you're promising
You can never, never, ever speak lightly
It should cost you everything

If you're gonna call it love
Oh, then let it be forever
Let it be forever
If you're gonna call it love
Oh, then let it be forever

Love has come from God and in this love we share
People see an image of Him there
It can be an invitation that leads to deeper truth
The kind of love they find in me and you

Oh, we can be a witness
Right before their eyes
A living love that's rooted in
The very love of Christ

If you're gonna call it love
Oh, then let it be forever
Oh, then let it be forever
If you're gonna call, if you're gonna call
It love, it love
Oh, then let it be forever

I don't know what this world may think of love
Oh, but let our hearts remain true
To the notion that love goes beyond just emotion
Into faith, into hope, into trust
Call it love
If you're gonna call it love
Call it love
Won't you let it be forever
Won't you let it be, let it be
If you're gonna call it love
Won't you let it be forever

Call it love
Call it love
Call it love
Won't you let it be forever

It's got to be forever
Let it be

Call Me, I'll hear your cry
I'm as close as a prayer
And I'm here to deliver

Saw you standing on the corner of the street that turns to doubt
What were you doing?
Does the running from the questions that persue you wear you out
What are you proving?
You're searching and seeking
You're reaching, you're needing a Savior

Call Me, I'll hear your cry
I'm as close as a prayer
And I'm here to deliver
Don't need to ask Me twice
'Cause I'm here to deliver you

Is it true that you are everywhere but where you want to be
Caught in the fire?
Are you looking for a love that will finally set you free
Is that your desire?

Keep asking and seeking
You're knocking, you're needing a Savior

Call Me, I'll hear your cry
I'm as close as a prayer
And I'm here to deliver
Don't need to ask Me twice
'Cause I'm here to deliver
Deliver My love

Call Me, if you're in need
I'm as close as a prayer
And I'm here to deliver
Don't have to beg or plead
'Cause I'm here to deliver you

It's gonna be alright, ya
Gonna be alright now, you'll see
It's gonna be alright, ya
Gonna be alright, with Me

Keep asking and seeking
Keep knocking, you're needing a Savior

Call Me, I'll hear your cry
I'm as close as a prayer
And I'm here to deliver
Don't need to ask Me twice
'Cause I'm here to deliver
Deliver My love

Overjoyed
By Avalon

Overjoyed
I believe I found the secret everybody's looking for
I found the something that was missing, found my something more
A love that's really real, the only love that's truly true
There's not a moment I don't want to be with You

Every day and every night
Every night I find my way
By the light of Your love
You're like nothing else
And I can't help myself

Whenever we're together
I'm overjoyed over all You do
And my heart is Yours forever
For always I'll be overjoyed over You

Trouble's gonna come and trouble's gonna go, I know it's true
What does it matter, Lord, as long as I can run to You
But for Your grace, where would I be in this crazy life
You give me joy that I could never hide

You're the song in my soul
You make me strong
You make me whole
Lord, I know why I'm here
Now it's coming clear

Whenever we're together
I'm overjoyed over all You do
And my heart is Yours forever
For always I'll be overjoyed over You

Every day and every night
Every night I find my way
By the light of Your love
You're like nothing else
And I can't help myself

Whenever we're together
I'm overjoyed over all You do
And my heart is Yours forever
For always I'll be overjoyed over You

Yours forever

We circle winter, spring, and summer to fall
Spend a lifetime tryin' to make some sense of it all
Trip over questions raised by fallen men
As if there are solutions for the state we're in

In a picture perfect world there would be no crime
In a picture perfect world we'd be free
In a picture perfect word we'd be colorblind
But it's all right, I know we'll be cared for
All right, a place is prepared for
All right, 'cause sooner or later we'll be
In the picture perfect world

Another summer, autumn, winter and spring
We grow accustomed to the nature of things
Do we chase the questions we can't figure out
And overlook what life is all about?

In a picture perfect world there would be no pain
In a picture perfect world we'd believe
In a picture perfect world love is not in vain
But it's all right, I know we'll be cared for
All right, a place is prepared for
All right, 'cause sooner or later we'll be
In the picture perfect world

We are here but a moment and then the moment's gone
So why spend precious time we can't afford?
We have only one purpose before the curtain's drawn
With all our lives, for the cause of Christ, we must glorify the Lord

In the picture perfect world there will be no pain
In the picture perfect world we'll be free
In the picture perfect world love is not in vain
But it's all right, I know we'll be cared for
All right, a place is prepared for
All right, 'cause sooner or later we'll be
In the picture perfect world

somedays your own resolve is strong
and other days you bend
it's two steps forward, one step back
and a stumble now and then
you wonder if you'll ever really make the difference
tou've prayed that you will

your life waven day by day
is a new design of the glory God displays
on the canvas of creation
though the poem of history
in the pattern of redemption
running though the tepestry
your life in Christ can be
the greatest story ever told

you cannot see the hands of God
or feel the grace that flows
from him though you to those you touch
In ways you'll never know
you cannot measure worth by human standards
That's always a lie
oh, you have to see though haven's eyes how

In the light of eternity
standing face to face you will finally see
for the very first time you'll understand
your perfect place in the master plan and how

I've seen that look a million times
Disenchanted eyes
You don't have to say a word
I know it's love you doubt, but you're lost without it

You hope for one glimpse of heaven
You pray for a sign
But I know where all is forgiven
Let's go where we know love is alive

This love can change a life forever
The only way to start, is giving Him our hearts, yeah
His love will piece us back together
This is the way, this is the life, this love
Oh, this love, oh yeah

It's nothing that we could ever earn
It's unconditional, yeah
It's free because cost Him everything
It's the love we need
It's our road to freedom

So don't underestimate God's love
It's power to heal
Come take a drink from the fountain
Let's go where we now love is alive

This love can change a life forever
The only way to start, is giving Him our hearts, yeah
His love will piece us back together

Dream a little dream, dream a little while
Remembering a day when you were wide-eyed
Gave the Lord your heart, gave Him all your soul
Slowly you have taken back control
.
Now you're somewhere in-between
Your new world and your old routine
.
Dream a little dream, dream a little while
Dream with me of how you think it might be...
.
To give Him all of your heart (give it up give it up)
Give Him all of your life (give it up give it up)
Give Him all of your soul (give it up give it up)
Give it up give it up, oh

mean, you'd have to hear it]

Na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na
.
Your choice is black or white, not a shade of gray
Because in love there's no such thing as halfway
Devotion can't be swayed, emotions can't be torn
He'd rather we be hot or cold than lukewarm
.
Bring the Father all your soul (bring Him all your soul)
There's freedom in the letting go
.
Pray a little prayer, Dream a little dream
Dream with me of how you think it might be (yeah)
.
To give Him all of your heart (give it up give it up)
Give Him all of your life (give it up give it up)
Give Him all of your soul (give it up give it up)
Give it up give it up Oh

Give Him all of your heart (give Him all your heart)
Give Him all of your life (give it up give it up)
Give Him all of your soul (give it up give it up) (give Him all
your soul)

I run, I fall
I walk, I sometimes crawl
I give, I take
I bend and yet somehow I break

I get dizzy from all this spinning 'round
I'm determined but wonder where I'm bound
I've learned to follow the sweet familiar sound of your voice

The straight and narrow twists and turns
I make my way and everyday I live I learn to follow You
You walk me through a maze of grace

I stand, I sway
I reach for you, I push away
I'm spent, I'm saved
I disobey, yet I behave

In my personal struggle to break free
The only peace for the puzzle that I need
Is just to follow the sweet familiar lead of your love

The straight and narrow twists and turns
I make my way and everyday I live I learn to follow You
You walk me through a maze of grace
I'm lost in You and there I'm found
You're gently guiding
Everytime I turn around it's no surprise
To see my life's a maze of grace

1. wonder why

Why, why, tell me do you wonder why
Some can look so hard and miss the truth
Some will stumble over it a hundred times
And never ever see the living proof

Well, there's a kind of love the would could never deny
Let everybody see it in our lives

The world will wonder why
If you and I will shine His light
And hearts discover life when we decide
To let ours go
We've got to give it up
And live the love
That opened our eyes
Live your life
The world will wonder why

Why, why, someone try to tell me why
We would want it any other way
A heart could change before our very eyes
Well, I've seen the difference that love can make

Where is the kind of love this would could never explain
It's time to live the gospel unashamed

If we were living with a passion
What would be the reaction
I know a single heart can change the world
If we were loving with a strong love
Then their eyes would see
And the world might believe
