Lyrics–

1.
There is a place my soul awaits
In the presence of Christ, my King.
And though I caused His deepest pain,
I’ll enter in by His suffering.

2.
You paved the way so clear and straight,
But I stumble so easily.
Teach me, Lord, to seek Your face,
And give me strength when I am weak.

CHORUS.
I will lift my praise to the Highest Name
For setting the captive free.
Oh, You paved the way to the highest place
And opened the gates for me.

You Paved The Way - Haden A. Ayers

Lyrics–

1.
Earthly kingdoms pass away:
Every ruler, every reign,
Every crown, and every throne.
God, we trust in Yours alone.

2.
Build Your Kingdom here today
And redeem this earthen race,
Not that we be lifted high,
But that You be glorified.

3.
Earthly governments will fade;
Still, Your Kingdom will remain.
Part Your lips and speak the Truth
They that tremble be removed.

4.
Lo, the gates are open wide!
Child of Adam, come inside!
Give your worship to the King,
For this dust has been redeemed.

Build Your Kingdom - Haden A. Ayers

1.
You fill my heart with songs to sing,
I give it back in praise.
With every breath You give to me,
I give it back in praise. 
You are my Joy, You are my Peace,
I give it back in praise.
My Purpose and my Destiny,
I give it back in praise.
How can I ever repay?

CHORUS.
God, I worship You
As my soul longs to do;
All that I have,
I give it back in praise.
As a sacrifice
I will give my life;
All of my heart
Into Your arms I raise.
All that I have,
I give it back in praise.

2.
You fill my soul with life anew,
I give it back in praise.
And all my darkness runs from You,
I give it back in praise. 
You are my Fortress, safe from sin,
I give it back in praise.
Your kingdom overcomes again,
I give it back in praise.
How can I ever repay?

CHORUS.
God, I worship You
As my soul longs to do;
All that I have,
I give it back in praise.
As a sacrifice
I will give my life;
All of my heart
Into Your arms I raise.
All that I have,
I give it back in praise.

BRIDGE.
God, I fall before You,
I worship and adore You,
I’ve nothing for You but praise
(2x)

CHORUS.
God, I worship You
As my soul longs to do;
All that I have,
I give it back in praise.
As a sacrifice
I will give my life;
All of my heart
Into Your arms I raise.
All that I have,
I give it back in praise.

I Give It Back In Praise - Haden A. Ayers

1.
This is your wake-up call to come and serve the Lord!
Casting the world aside, come in and worship.
Open your heart and mind to share the living word.
Come and worship, worship the King!

2.
Gathered together now, we come to serve You, Lord!
Laying our burdens down, we come to worship.
Growing in love, we vow to praise You more and more!
We will worship, worship the King.
Come and worship, worship the King!

Wake Up Call - Haden A. Ayers

–Lyrics–

1.
We didn't see You when You came
Into this world of sin and death;
We didn't see You live in shame
In that despised Nazareth;
But we believe You walked upon
This earth You made, O Son of God.
Yes, we believe You walked upon
This earth You made, O Son of God.

2.
We didn't see You lifted high
Amid that wild and savage crew;
We didn't hear You when You cried,
"Forgive, they know not what they do!"
But we believe the work was done
That shook the earth and veiled the sun.
Yes, we believe the work was done
That shook the earth and veiled the sun.

3.
We didn't see the open tomb
Where once Your mangled body lay;
We didn't see the "upper room"
Or meet You walking on the way;
But we believe that angels said,
"Why seek the Living with the dead?"
Yes, we believe that angels said,
"Why seek the Living with the dead?"

4.
We weren't among the chosen few
Who saw You from the earth ascend;
Who raised to heav'n their wond'ring view,
Then low to earth in worship bent;
But we believe that human eyes
Beheld that journey to the skies. 
Yes, we believe that human eyes
Beheld that journey to the skies.

CODA.
Amen, amen, (3x)
We have not seen, but we believe!

Lyrics:

v1
Lord, I give you my humble life,
As a sacrifice to Your throne.
I will give you my everything,
And give praise to Your name alone.

In Your grace, I find rest secure,
Guiding me through shadows so dim.
With each breath, I will sing Your praise.
Oh Lord, where do I begin?

v2
In the stillness of dawn’s first light,
I can feel your presence so near.
Through my trials in darkest night,
Your love casts out all my fear.

I surrender my all to You,
All my vanity and my pride.
Drop my idols before you now,
Only in You I confide.

Chorus
Your name is perfect in power.
I’ll give You all of my days.
I’ll shout Your name from the hills,
And I’ll offer You endless praise.

Your love is perfected in me.
I bow before Your great throne.
I give You all of my life,
And give worship to You alone.

Worship To You Alone - Andrew Martin

–Lyrics –

1.
I've always failed to comprehend
A perfect God who'd save imperfect me;
You know my heart, You've seen my sin,
And still You came to set my spirit free.

CHORUS
Lord, You turn me inside out;
You see the parts of me
That no one else can see,
You turn my life around
Till all the world can see is You,
You turn me inside out.

2. 
Your Living Word, the sharpest knife,
It cleaves my soul and cuts my spirit deep.
There's nowhere left for sin to hide;
My heart is on display for You to see.
