Redemption

All You

Those moments when I preach so hard I don’t know my words

I hear a voice above the noise, then a flaming tongue of scriptures

All you

I see a rose in bloom in the desert

I stay true no matter the weather

All you

You’re my hope, my way, my light in the darkest valley

You’re my mind, my courage, my strength to talley

All of my good parts, and realize it’s all you

I give all of me so I’d be all you

I give my lies so I’d be all truth

I know I’ll make mistakes there’ll be heartbreaks but there’s hope of

healing in you

I’m unafraid to take big steps

Cause I know I have to make this world less

And more of you

All the glory

The credits to my story

Are all you

In my scars they see your heart

In my eyes they see your life

When it seems like circumstances lead to another moment of dancing

Well that’s all you

You’re my heart, my soul, my will to defeat the trials

You’re my victory, my story, my reason why I’m happy in the meanwhile

I open my eyes and I realize that you’re the reason I’m truly alive

All you

Strength to Fly

I’ve wandered through the darkest hour

I’m not gone because of your power

Even when I didn’t choose you

You were there all the way through

It’s not my will to hang on to You

It’s your will to carry me

You’ve got the biggest arms I’ve ever seen

And I’ve seen the arms of giants

You heal my wounds and broken heart

You give me the greatest strength I’ve witnessed

And I’ve felt the roar of lions

You tore down my walls

Because of you I stroll down the halls

And all of the doors of opportunity are open

Because of you I have a future in sight again

It’s not my will to hang on to You

It’s your will to carry me

You’ve got the biggest arms I’ve ever seen

And I’ve seen the arms of giants

You heal my wounds and broken heart

You give me the greatest strength I’ve witnessed

And I’ve felt the roar of lions

I gave you the smallest bit of trust

You gave me the power to move mountains

I gave you a feeble cry

You gave me the brightness to draw the moths of the night

It’s not my will to hang on to You

It’s your will to carry me

And you’ve got the biggest arms I’ve ever seen

And I’ve the arms of giants

You heal my wounds and broken heart

You give me the greatest strength I’ve witnessed

And I’ve felt the roar of lions

The enemy rules this world

But your hands hold the galaxies

And the heavens are held up on your wings

The destroyer plays with deceiving shadows

But you teach the light that’s true

You have the love that draws the stray to you

Lord, Father, Savior, Teacher, abba Father teach me too

I give you questions and praise

You give me second chances and grace

I give you faith and trust

You breathe life into this pile of dust

It’s not my will to hang on to You

It’s your will to carry me

And you’ve got the biggest arms I’ve ever seen

And I’ve the arms of giants

You heal my wounds and broken heart

You give me the greatest strength I’ve witnessed

And I’ve felt the roar of lions

You’ve
