Verse 1: 
I've heard a thousand stories 
Of what they think You’re like 
But I've heard the tender whisper 
Of love in the dead of night 

And You tell me that You’re pleased 
And that I'm never alone 

Chorus 1: 
You're a Good, Good Father 
It's who You are 
It's who You are 
It's who You are 

And I'm loved by You 
It's who I am 
It's who I am 
It's who I am 

Verse 2: 
I've seen many searching 
For answers far and wide 
But I know we're all searching 
For answers only You provide 

Because You know just what we need 
Before we say a word 

Bridge: 
You are perfect in all of Your ways 
You are perfect in all of Your ways 
You are perfect in all of Your ways to us 

Verse 3: 
Love so undeniable 
I, I can hardly speak 
Peace so unexplainable 
I, I can hardly think 

As You call me deeper still 
Into love, love, love 

Chorus 2: 
You are good, You are faithful 
You are strong, You are able

Good, Good Father (Housefires)

Verse 1: 
I close my eyes 
There's a question deep inside 
Will You guide me through the night? 
Will You calm the storms of my life? 

All these walls I've built are comfortable 
And the world outside is loud 
When the voice I trust is fear and doubt 
God, I need Your guidance now 

Pre-Chorus: 
All my walls and my defenses fall 
Fall to the ground 
When the warmth of Your light 
Shines all around 

Chorus: 
Your love is better 
Than all the world can give 

Verse 2: 
Will You save me from this emptiness? 
Will You lead me in to peace? 
Will You save me from this loneliness? 
Will Your hope my fears release? 

Psalm 63:1-8 

"O God, you are my God; 
earnestly I seek you; 
my soul thirsts for you; 
my whole being longs for you, 
as in a dry and weary land where there is no water. 
I have seen you in your sanctuary 
and gazed upon your power and glory. 
Because your steadfast love is better than life, 
my lips will praise you. 
I will praise you as long as I live, 
in your name I will lift up my hands. 
You satisfy me more than the richest feast. 
I will praise you with songs of joy. 
I lie awake thinking of you, 
meditating on you through the night. 
for you have been my help, 
I sing in the shadow of your wings. 
My soul clings to you; 
your right hand upholds me."

Your Love Is Better (Will Reagan & United Pursuit)

// God of the Unknown //

[December 9, 2015]

A couple years ago, I was journaling one morning, reflecting on a conversation I had with my friend Joshua the day before. Apparently it was one of those good but hard conversations because I wrote that "it was kind of hard to listen to because it’s pushing me more into the unknown...” And then I remember having this moment where I just had to remind myself that if I claim to believe and trust that God is God over what I can see and can know, then I really have to believe and trust even more so that He’s also God over what I can’t see and can’t possibly know because, "We live by faith, not by sight.” (2 Corinthians 5:7)

So I closed the thought with a simple,  "...but hey, You’re the God of the unknown,” and then a melody popped into my head out of nowhere that became the chorus of this song. A couple days later, the rest of the words came as I continued to wrestle with the idea of what it meant for me that God was beckoning me to trust Him more deeply with unknown situations in my life.

So thanks Joshua for a conversation that really challenged me in how I view and trust the Lord. You pretty much wrote this song, if you think about it. Also thanks Christian, Curtis, Tyler, Brad, Joelibeck, Hannah, David, Taylor, (and probably a few others I’m forgetting), for being a part of bringing an idea to life when we got to play it. You each inspired what's in here in some way so you also pretty much wrote it, if you think about it :)

Thanks also to the gracious people who sang it with us at Impact195, Rock Young Adults, the Mingling of Souls Relationship Conference at the Rock Church, and Parkside Church because it was pretty much still being written as we went, lol.

LYRICS

Verse 1: 
I can’t always see 
What You’re doing here 
But I trust You 

One thing that I know 
You are in control 
And You are with me 

Chorus: 
When I can’t see 
When I can’t hear 
I am reminded that You are near 

When the dark falls 
I can still know 
You are the God of the unknown 

Verse 2: 
Even while I wait 
And as I listen for Your voice 
I know You’re moving 

Jesus, have my heart 
My plans and all my dreams 
Do what You want to with me 

Bridge: 
You lead me by still waters 
Into Your mercy 
You call me deeper and further and higher 
Until I see Your glory 
And when I don’t understand 
Still I will follow 
You light my way and You quiet my soul 
As You push me towards the great unknown

God of the Unknown

SONG NO. 5 

// No Fear In Love // 

[April 16, 2016] 

The chorus of this song is another one that came from a moment serving with the team at Rock Church. We were in the song No Longer Slaves which has the line, “I’m no longer a slave to fear. I am a child of God.” From the truth that being loved as a child of God means being set free from fear, came the declaration of a promise of God we find in Scripture - fear simply cannot exist where the love of God resides. 

I went back to the verse in 1 John 4:18 where John writes of that very concept, “There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love.” The Lord was speaking that over me again reminding me that in His love, there is no room for fear, because His love is the greatest love I could ever know - even if I cannot fully comprehend it. 

So my prayer with this song has been that we would be perfected in love and learn to walk in freedom from fear. We have access to the love of God that conquers all fear and death because He laid down His life for us - “Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13)

LYRICS

Chorus 1: 
There is no fear in love 
Your perfect love drives it out from us 

Verse 1: 
O Love that casts out fear 
O Love that covers sin 
Your grace has drawn us near 
Your Spirit lives within 

Pre-Chorus 1: 
I’m holding on to You 
But what matters is You’re holding on to me 
I put my trust in You 
‘cause God You know my every need 
And now I know 

Chorus 2: 
There is no fear in love 
Your perfect love drives it out from us 
And there is no greater love 
You laid Your life down to raise us up 

Verse 2: 
From heaven’s heights You came 
You chose to leave Your throne 
To take my guilt and shame 
Such love I’ve never known 

Pre-Chorus 2: 
I’m so unworthy Lord 
To enter in this grace so free 
But still You chose me Lord 
You came and died to save a wretch like me 
And now I know 

Bridge: 
This love is unexplainable 
I cannot comprehend 
This grace so irresistible 
That You would choose to call me friend 
Your love holds nothing back from me 
Relentless through the years 
You’ve opened up my eyes to see 
There’s nothing left to fear 
Because I know

No Fear In Love

SONG NO. 6

// Worthy //

[April 22, 2016]

In heaven, all around the throne of God, worship is taking place at every moment. Revelation 4 and 5 tells of angels, living creatures, saints, and elders surrounding God, joining with all of creation to give all glory to “Him who sits on the throne.” (Revelation 5:13)
 
This song came out of reading through those chapters. I had sat down with a new pen and a journal and just asked for inspiration and for the Lord’s help to respond to what I’d been reading. Being such a visual thinker, these verses became much more than words on a page - this throne room was a place that I’d gone to and envisioned.

I wrote, “Keep me from striving… keep me in a place of rest and intimacy so that whatever comes is pleasing to You… I want to sing the song that angels sing.”

I looked at the passage and found so many times where the words being sung to God spoke only of His character as worthy and holy and deserving of all the attention. I imagined myself there and this is what I saw and heard.

"Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!" (Revelation 5:12)

LYRICS

Verse 1:
There’s a throne in heaven
Where a Saviour is found
Bursts of lightning and
Rolls of thunder all around
Day and night and night and day
Voices lifting up His praise
The multitudes surround Him
King of glory on display

Chorus 1:
Heaven’s angels sing
Worthy is the slain and risen King

Verse 2:
The King of heaven will descend
On a cloud of glory
All creation sing
Holy, holy, holy 
The Maker of all things
The Risen Son
Returning for His people
Come Lord, Jesus, come

Chorus 2:
All the earth will sing
Worthy is the slain and risen King

Bridge 1:
All the glory
All the power
All the honor is Yours forever

The glory
All the power
All the honor is Yours forever

The glory
All the power is Yours

Chorus 3:
All Your people sing
Worthy is the slain and risen King

SONG NO. 7 

// Hope In You // 

[June 16, 2016] 

Sometimes you just gotta tell your soul to find its hope in God again. 

This one feels a little more vulnerable because it came from a vulnerable place. Here's a piece of what I wrote in my journal from the day that sparked the song: 

"Lord, my heart hurts. Meet with me here today. Speak to my heart like only You can. Give me a reason to keep going. Give me a song to sing through the storm. Jesus, I acknowledge that I need You. I recognize that You're with me. Why, in this moment is that not enough?" 

Then the Lord heard me and spoke into the hurt of that moment, like He always does. He gave me words to sing to Him - words to sing over myself. He reminded me that He was with me and that not only could I lay my burdens at His feet, but He had also specifically placed people around me to help me carry them so I don't have to do it alone. 

He brought me to the words of Psalm 42 that I had been reflecting on just a week before, "Why are you cast down, O my soul, and why are you in turmoil within me? Hope in God; for I shall again praise him, my salvation." (Psalm‬ ‭42:5‬‬) 

This song, having root in the words of that Psalm, became a reminder to me that there is ALWAYS hope and it's found in the name of Jesus. And it also reminds me that sometimes, like the psalmist, you just gotta tell your soul to find its hope in God again. 

LYRICS

Verse 1: 
The Living God 
Rock of my life 
I thirst for You 
Jesus, You satisfy 

You’re stirring hope 
Down in my soul 
I trust in You 
Jesus, You’re faithful 

Verse 2: 
My soul finds rest 
Here in Your love 
You’re all I need 
Jesus, more than enough 

My source of joy 
Is who You are 
My everything 
Jesus, my all in all 

Pre-Chorus: 
I remind my soul 
Of all that You’ve done 
Lord I wait for You 
For You alone 

Chorus: 
You’re my hope and my shield 
My salvation 
My refuge and strength 
Firm foundation 

Redeemer, strong tower 
You are my delight 
I will praise Your name 
I will lift You high 

All my hope is in You 
All my hope is in You 

Verse 3: 
Your love pours out 
For all my days 
My hope secure 
Jesus, You never change 

Your song surrounds 
And darkness flees 
My chains undone 
Jesus, You’ve set me free 

Bridge: 
Your name brings hope to every nation 
Your name brings freedom to the broken 
Your name brings peace to every soul 
In Your name 
I find unshakeable hope 

Verse 4: 
When hope seems lost 
My God is near 
Though trials come 
Jesus, You’re with me still 

The voices of the enemy 
Are silenced now 
Jesus, please speak to me 

SELAH 

Tag: 
All my hope is in You

SONG NO. 8 

// Lost Without You // 

[September 3, 2016] 

This one was a simple prayer turned into a simple song that speaks of the truths that, like Joshua and the people of Israel, I have nothing to fear because God promises His presence with me wherever I go (i.e. Joshua 1), and that, like David, God picks me up out of my mess and puts my feet back on solid ground (i.e. Psalm 40). 

My prayer was this: “Jesus, You’ve always been with me. You’ve always gone before me, stood behind me, walked next to me. I would be so lost without You, not knowing where to go or how to get there. BUT, You lead me faithfully, reminding me time and time again that You are enough.” 

And that’s the reality - I would be lost without Him, BUT GOD is the faithful One who leads me. 

PS the word at the top, הָלַל [halal], is a Hebrew word meaning worthy of praise, found in Psalm 18:3, "I call upon the Lord, who is WORTHY to be praised, and I am saved from my enemies." The word at the bottom, ἄξιος [axios] is a Greek word meaning worthy, found in Revelation 4:11, "WORTHY are you, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they existed and were created.

LYRICS

Verse 1: 
I will not fear 
For You are with me 
And You're not going anywhere 

You are my strength 
You’re walking next to me 
You lift my eyes to see Your glory 

Pre-Chorus 1: 
You picked me up and turned my life around 
I once was lost but now my soul is found 
You take me by the hand and lift me up 
You are deserving of all my trust 

Chorus: 
I’d be so lost without You 
I’d be so lost without You 
I’d be so lost without You leading me 
But God, You’re leading me 

Verse 2: 
My past redeemed 
My sins forgiven 
My life forever changed 

You called my name 
O Jesus, You rescued me 
I know I’ll never be the same 

Pre-Chorus 2: 
You gave my heart a new song to sing 
When on the cross You gave up everything 
Now I’ve found a home here in Your love 
In the fullness of Your grace, King Jesus 

Bridge: 
Faithfully, always reminding me 
You are more than enough 

You lead me faithfully 
You’re always reminding me 
You are more than enough

Lost Without You

SONG NO 9. 

// King Most Holy, King Most Worthy // 

[October 13, 2016] 

This song got its start at a team prayer meeting one Thursday morning during my internship at Red Rocks Church with Red Rocks Worship. While we were sitting and praying in the Littleton campus auditorium, the Lord started speaking to me about what it meant to run after His heart like David did (1 Samuel 13:14, Acts 13:22). 

Thoughts and lyrics started to come to mind as I sat there and reflected on how we can really only run after God’s heart because He gives us the faith and the strength to - for “In Him we live and move and have our being.” (Acts 17:28) 

The only reason we can do ANYTHING, is because God gives us the ability to. We sing because HE gives us breath, we love because HE loved us first, we have life because HE gave up HIS life on our behalf. 

So this song became a celebratory song giving thanks to the King who overcomes sin and death. The King who is holy. The King who is worthy. The King who pursued us and invites us to pursue Him in response. 

Like Mary, we can believe that “He who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name.” (Luke 1:49) 
Like David, we can declare that “He is worthy to be praised…” (Psalm 18:13)

LYRICS

Verse 1: 
We believe and we declare 
That freedom is here and now 
We will trust and we proclaim 
That we are no longer bound 

For death has been beaten 
Sin is defeated 
The victory has been won 

The grave could not hold You 
None stand against You 
Jesus, You have overcome 

Chorus: 
So we’re running after Your heart 
Pursuing all that You are 
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! 
A King most holy 

Our confidence is in You 
You are making everything new 
Hallelujah! Hallelujah! 
A King most worthy 

Verse 2: 
Broken lives have been restored 
Shattered hearts have been made whole 
You put Your breath in these dry bones 
Your love revived these weary souls 

You gave up Your life 
You made us alive 
You took our place to call us Your own 

The cross is our freedom 
Gift of salvation 
Open arms that welcome us home 

Bridge: 
The reason we pursue You 
Jesus, You pursued us first 
(You made a way) 

The reason we have freedom 
You have broken evil’s curse 
(We’re no longer slaves) 

The reason we are singing 
Is because You give us breath 
(We worship You) 

The reason we are living 
Is because You conquered death 
(In spirit and truth) 

Tag: 
Holy is Your name 
Worthy of all praise

King Most Holy, King Most Worthy

// Healed (You’re Not Done) // 

[November 10, 2016] 

Sometimes we go through things that hurt us. Then God steps in and mends what's broken. Yet still, even after our the healing of our hearts, there can be moments that remind us of what we've come through and it hurts all over again. 

We need not doubt our having been healed, but instead have to remember that healing can sometimes look like a process of continually opening our hearts to allow the Healer to restore us and make us whole in His way and His timing. 

I was in a place where I needed to be reminded that even though I felt the sting of past heart pains, I could still stand on the truth that God had made my heart whole. I clung to God's promises over my momentary feelings -- 

He's not done with you yet. He is still working. He’ll finish what He starts. He won’t leave you broken. “He who began a good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ." (Philippians 1:6) 

The process of making you whole is under the careful watch of a Faithful Father. "He who calls you is faithful; he will surely do it." (1 Thessalonians 5:24) ”Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful." (Hebrews 10:23) 

So hold on to your hope. You are fully known even when you can’t see it just yet (1 Corinthians 13:12). 

LYRICS

Verse 1: 
I’ve gone through heartache 
I’ve gone through pain 
But You never left my side 
Your love remained 

Even when I thought I couldn’t go on 
You taught my heart to sing a different song 

Chorus: 
I have been healed 
But You are still healing me 
I’ve been set free 
These chains keep on falling 

I know I am loved 
‘Cause Jesus, You keep on loving me 
This I know 
You are still working 
And You’re not done with me yet 

Tag: 
Your work in me is not complete 
You’re not done with me yet 
Open up my eyes to see 
You’re not done with me yet 

Verse 2: 
A dim reflection in a mirror 
What we see is not always clear 
But when we see You face to face 
All things will be revealed 

I believe there’s still hope for tomorrow 
Still today I will trust in Your love 
The only hope that I know 

Bridge: 
My purpose, my future is set and secure 
By the God who sees what my heart longs for 
What You’ve begun, You will carry it through 
For all things find their fulfillment in You 

The One who calls me is faithful 
And what He says, it is final 
He calls me redeemed and He calls me His own 
My heart is restored I have been made whole

Healed (You're Not Done)

// My Father Says // 

[December 12, 2016] 

I got to hear Christine Caine speak at a church event not too long ago and it stirred something in my heart that led to this song. She spoke about the story of humanity’s fall in Genesis 3. After Adam and Eve had been deceived into sin by the serpent in the garden of Eden and realized their nakedness, they felt shame and hid from God. When God met them and spoke with them, He asked them, “Who told you that you were naked?” Rather than a voice of condemnation, we find a Father who lovingly disciplines and covers our shame. (Genesis 3:21) 

The same can be true with us - we are constantly bombarded with lies from the enemy, from other people, and a lot of times from ourselves. Believing these lies most often leads us to feelings such as shame and guilt. 

How can we fight off the lies that enter our minds? We have to be so in tune with what God says about us that the second a lie tries to make its way in, we are able to run from it and cling to what is true about us instead. 

Who told you that you’re not worthy? 
Who told you that you’re not good enough? 
Who told you that you’re defined by your past mistakes? 
God surely didn’t. 

The single most important voice in your life is the voice of Your Father in heaven. He is the One who spoke your very life into existence - whatever He says about you must be true. 

May we choose to believe what God says about us over anything contrary. 

LYRICS

Verse 1: 
Who told me I had to hide in fear and shame? 
When You told me to rest and trust Your holy name 
A thousand voices vying for my attention 
But the only voice I need shouts my redemption 

Chorus 1: 
My Father says I am holy 
My Father says I am loved 
My Father says I’m a new creation 
My Father says I’m enough 

Even when the world says different 
That’s not the voice I’m listening to 
I will still choose to believe 
The words that my Father says 
My Father says I am His 

Verse 2: 
No longer does darkness hide me through the night 
A voice stronger than death has breathed, “let there be light” 
My soul will not be bound by lies of the enemy 
My life is built on truth that sets my heart free 

Bridge: 
I will take You at Your word 
Trusting what You say above all the noise 
I will choose to believe truth declared over me 
All I am is Yours 

For You spoke the world into motion 
And You spoke my life just the same 
So I will choose to believe truth You speak over me 
All I am is Yours 

Tag: 
I will still choose to believe 
The words that my Father says 
My Father says I am His

// Sovereign Over Us / Reign In Us // 

I didn’t write either of these songs in this little medley. 

I was introduced to Sovereign Over Us (Aaron Keyes) by my friend Amy who sent it to me while she studying abroad a few years back and these lyrics immediately made it one of my favorite songs. Reign In Us (Starfield) is a song we would often lead at the young adults group at New Song Community Church back in the day, so it has a special place in my heart as well. Special shout out to my squad Heather, Marcus, and Fallon. 

These are put here at the end of this project as a benediction of sorts for anyone who may listen. My prayer for you and for me is that our hearts would come under the sovereignty of the one true King who reigns over all the earth. I pray that we would make this our prayer: 

"Reign, please reign in us 
Come purify our hearts 
We need Your touch 
Come cleanse us like a flood 
And send us out 
So the world may know You reign 
You reign in us" 

FIN [THE END]

LYRICS

// Sovereign Over Us (Aaron Keyes) // 

Verse 1: 
There is strength within the sorrow 
There is beauty in our tears 
And You meet us in our mourning 
With a love that casts out fear 

You are working in our waiting 
Sanctifying us 
When beyond our understanding 
You're teaching us to trust 

Chorus: 
Your plans are still to prosper 
You have not forgotten us 
You're with us in the fire and the flood 

Faithful forever 
Perfect in love 
You are sovereign over us 

Verse 2: 
You are wisdom unimagined 
Who could understand Your ways? 
Reigning high above the heavens 
Reaching down in endless grace 

You’re the Lifter of the lowly 
Compassionate and kind 
You surround and You uphold me 
And Your promises are my delight 

Bridge: 
Even what the enemy means for evil 
You turn it for our good 
You turn it for our good 
And for Your glory 

Even in the valley, You are faithful 
You’re working for our good 
You’re working for our good 
And for Your glory 

// Reign In Us (Starfield) // 

Chorus: 
O Great and Mighty One 
With one desire we come 
That You would reign 
That You would reign in us 

We’re offering up our lives 
A living sacrifice 
That You would reign 
That You would reign in us 

Bridge: 
So reign, please reign in us 
Come purify our hearts 
We need Your touch 

Come cleanse us like a flood 
And send us out 
So the world may know You reign 
You reign in us

// Just As I Am // 

[February 15, 2017] 

This is a song that was literally written while on my knees. I just needed to spend time with Jesus but I felt like I had nothing to bring. I didn’t have good words for a prayer, or some lofty language to show my love for Him - I just brought myself. As I was. Seeking. Waiting. Trying my best to trust that He was with me. 

In that place, I realized that when it comes to Jesus, it doesn't matter what I bring Him. It’s not a transaction. He just wants time with me. So this song just describes where I was in that moment when I felt the pressure lift off - realizing that the only thing I really need to bring when I come to Him is myself, just as I am.

LYRICS 

Verse 1: 
What could I give to a King 
Who has everything? 
What could I say to the One 
Who’s heard it all? 

You have brought peace to 
All of my questions 
My soul finds rest again 

For You know all things 
You know my heart 
Nothing is hidden 

Chorus 1: 
No matter what I bring 
I bring my all 
I bring my all to You, my God 

I bring my everything 
I bring my everything 
Just as I am 

Verse 2: 
I bring my doubts 
My brokenness 
My insecurities 

But where I am lacking 
You are made stronger 

So no more striving 
All on my own 
There is nothing I can prove to You 

All I have needed 
You have provided 
You’ve done it all 

Chorus 2: 
I bring my all 
I bring my all to You, my God 

I bring my everything 
I bring my everything 
Just as I am 

Bridge: 
I know You turn ashes into beauty 
You turn mourning into dancing 
You turn sorrow into joy 

So I give You all of me 
Just as I am

Just As I Am
