I’ve had my share of heartache
I’ve felt the sting of pain
From standing out in the desert
Praying for rain
I’ve seen my lonely teardrops
Fall down my lonely face
Oh how I long to hear the
Thunder roll again

And I want to be
Swept away in Thee
Only You know what I need – so

Open up the sky, rain down Your love
I don’t care if I never get enough
I just want to be caught in that flood
So open up the sky, yeah
Open up the sky

I’ve had my disappointments
I’ve cried a time or two
These showers of love I long for
They only come from You
Now I want to go deeper
Fall in over my head
So send Your Holy downpour
And let the healing begin

And I can’t wait
To be swept away
Only You can stop the pain – so

Wash me away
‘Cause I don’t think I can wait another day

Everyday I sit and pray to God above
That You’ll watch over me and my family
But everyday I seem to pray the same old thing
In the same old way, and I start to think

That maybe I should change
And find something better to say
But I’ve learned to believe
You always hear me when I pray

So I get down on my knees
‘Cause I’m stronger than these
Voices inside of my head
They try to deceive me
And make me believe
That I would be better instead
To take my requests and put them to rest
But You’re already one step ahead
You knew just what I would say
Before it was said

Every night I lie awake wondering
If You’re listening to ever heartbeat
You’ve told me that You know the deepest part of me
And You’ll watch over me and my family

So I guess I shouldn’t change
‘Cause You hear ever word that I say
And I know You are here
When I come to You this way

So I guess I shouldn’t change
‘Cause You hear ever word that I say
And I know You were here
When I knelt down today

I don’t know what to say
That hasn’t already been said
I don’t know what to write
That hasn’t already been read
I don’t know what to play
That You haven’t already heard
So here’s my song, You write the words
Here’s my heart, You write the words

“Amazing Grace” has already been written
“Jesus Saves” has been done before
And the “Hallelujah Chorus”
Has been sung a million times or more
So who am I to make any difference
Tell me why I pour out my heart
And I struggle for the words
That I know might not go very far

There are days when I sing for the masses
When my songs get repeated back to me by thousands
And there are days when I know
That the only one who hears me is You
So what do I do - when

How wide is Your love
That You would stretch Your arms
And go around the world
And why for me would a Savior’s cry be heard

I don’t know
Why You went where I was meant to go
I don’t know
Why You love me so

Those were my nails
That was my crown
That pierced Your hands and your brow
Those were my thorns
Those were my scorns
Those were my tears that fell down
And just as You said it would be
You did it all for me
After You counted the cost
You took my shame, my blame
On my cross

How deep is Your grace
That you could see my need
And chose to take my place
And then for me, these words I’d hear You say

Father no
Forgive them for they know not what they do
I will go
Because I love them so

I've got nowhere to turn,
I've got nowhere to hide,
And I've got no alibi,

You've been following me,
You know my history,
And no matter how hard I try,

I can't explain away
The way I feel today
There's only one thing I can say:

(Chorus)
You, You've found me.
You found me and You called me from the wilderness,
From my cave of emptiness,
Yeah, You, You've found me.
You found me in the places of my lonliness
You told me there was more than this,
You captured me with tenderness,
Yeah, You've found me.

There was so many days,
Trying to figure out ways,
To explain what I feel inside,

I tried to fill up my soul without loosing control,
This desire never did subside,

I'm ready to give in
I know I'll never win
The hide and seek that I've been in

(Chorus)
You, You've found me.
You found me and You called me from the wilderness,
From my cave of emptiness,
Yeah, You, You've found me.
You found me in the places of my lonliness
You told me there was more than this,
You captured me with tenderness,
Yeah, You've found me.

In the pit of despair, I was all alone there.
I wasn't looking for You, but You found me anyway.
You put Your hand on my face, then you changed my ways.
Nothing can separate me from...

(Chorus)
You, You've found me.
You found me and You called me from the wilderness,
From my cave of emptiness,
Yeah, You, You've found me.
You found me in the places of my lonliness
You told me there was more than this,
You captured me with tenderness,
Yeah, You've found me.

I may never be the reason
That people come from miles around
Just to hear that beautiful sound
I may never see the season
Where people love to hear me speak
And everybody wants to be me

Dare I go where I can’t see
And if I do will You go with me
Maybe it’s time that I just learn to believe

That I may never be a millionaire
Funny I don’t think I care
May never see the mountain view
I guess I don’t need to
I may never drive a fancy car
Or be a movie star
But I’ll be, I’ll be, the light of the world

I may never hold the answers
To questions of philosophy
Or even understand what that means
And I may never cure the cancer
That seems to run our busy lives
I guess that I’ll just join in the fight

Dare I go where I can’t see
And if I do will You go with me
Maybe it’s time that I just learn to believe

I may never be a hero
Or set my feet on Wall Street
Or give the evening news
But I believe in what God wants me to be
