VERSE 1
I heard You through a friend 
I heard You in His song 
I felt You in the wind 
I have felt You all day long
I saw You in that cloud 
I saw You in that crowd 
I felt You in the rain 
I even felt You in my pain

CHORUS
You’re always here 
You’re always near 
You’re always close enough for me
Always here

VERSE 2
I saw you in that boy 
He sat across from me 
I felt you in His arms 
The way they hung on me 
I hear You in the voice 
And the laughter of my child 
You’re there when I weep 
And You’re always there when I smile

CHORUS
You’re always here 
You’re always near 
You’re always close enough for me (Repeat)

ENDING
And when I realize beyond what I can see without my eyes 
Then I know, 
You are always here

Always Here

Verse 1
I believe that You long for me
More than I long for You
I believe that You died for me
So that I could be close to You
I believe that You love me
More than I want You to
I believe that You believe in me
And I believe in You
And it’s true I need You

Pre-Chorus
I know that there’s more to this
Than meets the eye
I know when I search for You
I’ll always find You

Chorus 
My heart is open
Do whatever You want to do
I’ll do whatever You want me to
My heart is open
Do whatever You want to do
I’ll do whatever You want me to

Tuesday's Song

Kiss The Son
Words and Music by Rob Sperti
©2011

This song comes directly from the end of Psalm 1 and the beginning of Psalm 2.

Therefore Kings be wise
Be warned O rulers of the Earth
Serve the Lord with fear
And rejoice with trembling

And kiss...kiss the son
And kiss...kiss the son
And kiss...kiss the son
And kiss...kiss the son

O Lord You've numbered my foes
Many are they that rise up against me
Many have said of me
My God will not deliver

And kiss...kiss the son
And kiss...kiss the son
And kiss...kiss the son
And kiss...kiss the son

Lord You are a shield about me
The glory and the lifter of my head
I called to You and You answered me
Lord You heard from me
From Your holy hill

And I'll kiss...kiss the son
And I'll kiss...kiss the son
And I'll kiss...kiss the son
And I'll kiss...kiss the son (Repeat)

Kiss The Son

Warm My Heart Again
Words and Music by Rob Sperti
©2011

Light of lights and light of men
Come and warm my heart again
Fire burn with fires flames 
Untouched by wind
Unchanged by rain
Come and warm my heart again
come and warm my heart again

The shadows of my heart are cold and gray
And how I miss the light of Your face
When my striving and stringing cease
Your light breaks through and shines in me
You come and warm my heart again
Jesus come and warm my heart again

Light of lights and light of men
Come and warm my heart again
Fire burn with fires flames 
Untouched by wind
Unchanged by rain
Come and warm my heart again
come and warm my heart again


Warm My Heart Again

Joy to the World the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room

Beyond My Unbelief
Words and Music by Rob Sperti
©2009

VERSE
I’m never satisfied with Your response
To empty prayers rehearsed for years
I hear the words before the silence fall 
Prey to vain language and my practiced tears

PRE CHORUS
You’ve captured me
Now help me see

CHORUS
Beyond my unbelief there’s a truth You’ve spoken
Beyond what I can see, freedom waits for me
Beyond what I conceive, there’s a heart that broken
Help me, believe beyond my unbelief

VERSE 2
Help me discard the contents of my heart
And make a place for You to dwell
My ego’s clamoring for space and time
Unrealized that only You can fill

PRE CHORUS
You’ve captured me
Now help me see

CHORUS
Beyond my unbelief there’s a truth You’ve spoken
Beyond what I can see, freedom waits for me
Beyond what I conceive, there’s a heart that broken
Help me, believe beyond my unbelief


Beyond My Unbelief

And Then You Speak
Words and Music By Rob Sperti
©2009

VERSE 1
Take this burden off of me 
The weight is crushing and I can't find my feet 
The questions flood and feelings seem 
To take my eyes from you till I surrender to my knees 

CHORUS
Then you speak 
Then you speak 
And my heart returns to you 
There's nothing more that I can do 
Until you speak
Then you speak 
There's nothing more that I can do 
I’m surrendered here to You
Until you speak 

VERSE 2
Take this offering that I bring 
Humble as it is I lay it at your feet 
A life well lived will never be 
As sweet a fragrance as the death surrender brings 


And Then You Speak

Well below the surface of my shame 
Here is where You beckon me to find You

Me to lay aside my foolish pride 
Enter in the shelter of Your mercy 
In the shadow of Your glory hide

Trusting in the proven mystery 
In the unknown depths of You

How to hear without the slightest sound 
Yours the only voice I thirst for I long for 
Thundering inside Your truth resounds

Search my heart and You will find me 
Longing to be lost in You 
Trusting in the proven mystery 
In the unknown depths of You

I want to be lost in You, yeah 
Deep inside Your heart

Chorus:
Search my heart and You will find me 
Longing to be lost in You 
Trusting in the proven mystery 
In the unknown depths of You (Repeat)


I Want to Be Lost

Rob and Evangeline “Vangie” Sperti are worship leaders and church planters in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Over the past 18 years, the Spertis have served as worship pastors at Church In The Son (Orlando, Florida) and Winston Salem First (Winston Salem, North Carolina). As passionate worshipers and followers of the Jesus Way, they reflect and share truth through lyric and song. 

Songwriting happens organically, as the couple often writes from times of worship in the home or during corporate worship at church. “Writing together was something that just happened naturally,” Rob explains. “We both worship around the house. Most of the time, either a melody or idea will hit one of us, and we just start worshiping through that. Phrases will come in the middle of a worship time, and then ultimately become a song at some point. But the songs always come out of worship first.”

The two released their first independent studio EP, Robert and Evangeline, in the fall of 2014, and look forward to expanding their songwriting community through Garden City Church. Plans include partnering with Jason Upton’s ministry, Key Of David Ministries, to launch a worship school in the summer of 2015.
