I came to You.

In my moments of despair.

I came to You.

When the burden was hard to bear.

I came to You,

When my heart was filled with fear

And I felt,

that Your holy prescence was near

 

You took away.

My clothes of mourning.

Led me beside Your peacefull streams.

You gave me rest in the green meadows.

You filled my heart.

With an overwhelming joy.

You sun dispelled the shadows.

 

And now I’m longing for,

Your intimacy.

Let me start over again.

And make me brand new.

I know that You,

have been waiting patiently.

Let me daily lift my hands,

Give You my heart.

 

You took away,

My clothes of mourning.

Led me beside Your peacefull streams.

You gave me rest in the green meadows.

Lord I want,

you to be a part of me.

For my soul is thirsting for You.

For my soul is thirsting for You

4. Nightmares

I was always afraid, scared to be alone

Scared of the dark,

my head was in dangerzone

‘Cause I had these nightmares,

where my family died

They always were killed,

in the middle of the night

 

But than one day, Jesus came to me

He healed my heart and set me free

Now I am happy, peacefull and steady

No longer frightend,

the nightmares are gone

    

God I am thankfull,

You searched and you found me

I’m never alone,

You always surround me

You always surround me

 

So when you’re afraid,

and you can’t see the light

You can always pray,

and He will fight at your site

You’re in a battle, don’t fight it alone

Fight it with Jesus and the angels will join

 

Cause than one day, Jesus came to me

He healed my heart and set me free

Now I am happy, peacefull and steady

No longer frightend, the nightmares are gone

     

God I am thankfull,

You searched and you found me

You always surround me

6. Jerusalem

The road to Jerusalem is simple

Jerusalem’s road is straight

Follow the river and you’ll get there

Come along, don’t be afraid

Come along, don’t you wait

 

Jerusalem, I’m coming Jerusalem

City with streets of gold

I’m coming home

Jerusalem, I’m coming home

Home

 

Alongside the road are many treasures

Diamonds ruby’s gold are all for free

Beware, the river ’s getting smaller

Before you know you can no longer see

 

Jerusalem, where are you Jerusalem

City with streets of gold

Where are you now

Jerusalem, where are you now

Where are you now

 

 People are  gathering their fortunes

They're wandering around with hollow hearts 

Filling their time with earthly pleasures

Don’t drift away and lose sight of the path

 

Jerusalem, I’ve lost you Jerusalem

City with streets of gold

Where are you now

Jerusalem, where are you now

Where are you now, where are you now

The road to Jerusalem is simple

Jerusalem’s road is straight

7. Choices

Every day

Is a challenge

It’s so hard,

To keep the balance

 

Between what is right and wrong

Let me be firm and strong

 

I’m walking the fine line here

I feel I should stop right now

Still I go further and further and further

It’s hard to stand my ground

 

The moment of truth

The point of no return

Open my heart

Let me see more clearly

 

Between what is right and wrong

Let me be firm and strong

 

I’m walking the fine line here

I feel I should stop right now

Still I go further and further and further

It’s hard to stand my ground

                                      

It’s with or against You now

Is this what You would do

Or is it me pushing through, without You

Help me to stay strong

 

What do You think Lord

Of the choices that we make

Fools and mistakes

Is our faith shifting

Crossing borders trough the ages

We try to bend the rules

We say time changes

But You are still the same

 

Between what is right and wrong

let me be firm and strong

 

I’m walking the fine line here

I feel I should stop right now

Still I go further and further and further

It's hard to stand my ground

 

It’s with or against You now

Is this what You would do

Or is it me pushing through, without You

Help me to stay strong

It’s with or against You now

Is this what You would do

Or is it me pushing through, without You

Help me to stay strong

Help me to stay strong

8.  Human

In my deepest pain

I’m crying out to You

The struggle I am going through

My hands are raised towards You

Oh, why

For I

I am human

Flesh and blood

Always asking questions

oh I feel misunderstood

I am human

Flesh and blood

Asking You why

And trying to keep my

faith

 

Did I

Forget about Your Son

My future is set and paved

I am forgiven I am saved

So why “why”

For I

I am human

Flesh and blood

Asking You why

although I’m saved by Jesus blood

 

I am human

Flesh and blood

Asking You why

And wondered by

Your grace 3x

9. I surrender

I am not who I used to be

This is not what I had in mind for me

Not the way how I planned my life

But it’s all right, it is fine

It is all right, it is fine

 

I surrender, my fight is over now

No more worries, no resistance,

Your will be done

I lay it all down, empty handed

And I come before Your throne

 

Every day I kneel down in prayer

Every single day I have to let it go

Lord I need Your strength and

Your guidance now

Then it’s all right, it is fine

Then it’s all right, it is fine

 

I surrender, my fight is over now

No more worries

Your will be done

I lay it all down, empty handed

And I come before Your throne

 

Now it’s time for a new beginning

I lay my sorrow in Your hands

I lay my troubled mind

to rest in Your arms

I ‘m renewed, I found my peace

 

I surrender, my fight is over 

No more worries, Your will be done

I lay it all down, empty handed

And I come before Your throne

 

I surrender, my fight is over now

No more worries, no resistance,

Your will be done

I lay it all down, empty handed

And I come before Your throne

I come before Your throne

I often dream of heavens reality

We sit down at the table of our King

All around there’s happiness and laughter

Breaking the bread

And drinking the wine in harmony

 

Singing glory to Your name

Forever You will reign

We’ll sing and all proclaim

United in Your name

Glory to Your name

Glory to Your name

Glory to Your name

 

At the day of our salvation

We sit down at the table of our King

side by side, so many different people

We will come,

together as one, to the cross

 

Singing glory to Your name

Forever You will reign

We’ll sing and all proclaim

United in Your name

Glory to Your name

Forever You will reign

We’ll sing and all proclaim

United in Your name

 

And  I believe in one church, one community

We"ll all believe, and sing in unity
