He's brought me here, where things are clear And trials turn to gold He shared with me, His victory He won in days of old Oh Lord, I don't deserve The riches of your word But You've changed my filthy rags To linen white as snow The view from here is nothing near To what it is for You I tried to see Your plan for me But I only acted like I knew Oh Lord forgive the times I tried to read your mind Cause you said if I'd be still Then I would hear your voice My Lord, my King, my urge to sing And praise the things above No words can say the glorious way You changed me with your love He's brought me low, so I could know The way to reach the heights To forsake my dreams, my self esteem And give up all my rights With each one that I lay down A jewel's placed in my crown Cause His love, the things above Is all we'll ever need He's brought me here, where things are clear And trials turn to gold

To You, Oh Lord, I lift my soul In You, Oh God, I place my trust Do not let me be put to shame Nor let my enemies triumph over me My hope is You Show me Your ways Guide me in truth In all my days My hope is You I am, Oh Lord, filled with Your love You are, Oh God, my salvation Guard my life and rescue me My broken spirit shouts My mended heart cries out

Well I though I depended upon you. At least that used to be what was happening with me. In those times of our first sweet communion, Nothing got in the way, I heard your voice everyday. When I first trusted you, gave my life to you. When I trusted you. Well there's something that needs to be cleared up. I feel so sorry inside, that my first love has died. Cause I've tried in my own strength to follow. When I've known all along, I just couldn't go wrong. If I'd only trusted you, give my life to you. If I'd trusted you. ooh, trusted you. Well I though I depended upon you. At least that used to be what was happening with me. In those times of our first sweet communion, Nothing got in the way, I heard your voice everyday. When I first trusted you, I gave my life to you. When I trusted you.

No, I didn't see this one commin' It suddenly snuck up on me I can't say you didn't tell me so I can't say you didn't warn me Well I can't take the pain, Knowing that I left you And I can't bear the shame Of knowing I was wrong But I'll take the blame for everything that I've done But I can't take the pain of leaving you alone leaving you alone I was there when they accused you But I guess I was too affraid Not just once, and not just twice But three times I denied your name Well I can't take the pain, Knowing that I left you And I can't bear the shame Of knowing I was wrong But I'll take the blame for everything that I've done But I can't take the pain of leaving you alone leaving you alone I never thought I'd get Even a second chance But you've given that, and so much more And then for every time I ever did deny, You asked me if I love you You know I do, Lord So I'm off to follow in your steps It won't be easy, it's safe to say Only two roads I can walk on down The one less traveled is the one you paved But I can't take the pain, Knowing that I left you And I can't bear the shame Of knowing I was wrong But I'll take the blame for everything that I've done But I can't take the pain of leaving you alone leaving you alone Lord, you took the pain Even though I left you And you took the shame, and you made it all your own Why'd you take the blame for everything that I've done? Lord, you took the pain, you and you alone You and you alone.

Create in me a clean heart, oh God And renew a right spirit within me Create in me a clean heart, oh God And renew a right spirit within me Cast me not away from Thy presence, oh Lord And take not Thy holy spirit from me Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation And renew a right spirit within me Create in me a clean heart, oh God And renew a right spirit within me Create in me a clean heart, oh God And renew a right spirit within me Cast me not away from Thy presence, oh Lord Take not Thy holy spirit from me Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation And renew a right spirit within me Create in me a clean heart, oh God And renew a right spirit within me Create in me a clean heart, oh God And renew a right spirit within me Cast me not away from Thy presence, oh Lord Take not Thy holy spirit from me Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation And renew a right spirit within me

I was done hoeing, out in the fields for the day, I was thinking of going, I had to leave right away, My life is just fading, and oh I felt so alone, The nearest young maiden was, a full day's ride from home. My father was reading, the holy books in his room, My heart was just bleeding, I knew I had to go soon, He smiled and pointed at an old wooden chair, I wanted to hold him, but then I just wouldn't dare. I said, father, there's so much to know, There's a world of things to see, And I'm ready to go and make a life for myself If you give me what is mine, I will go, if I can have your blessing, But if you won't bless my journey, I'm gonna leave anyway. Son, I've always tried my best for you, And if you must be leaving home, then go with the blessing of God. Not too many days later, I was well on my way, I met a travelling stranger, who seemed to have much to say, He told me tales of the city, and all the women he'd had, I asked him, wasn't that sinful, He said, no, it isn't that bad. And then a few days later, on an old city road, We were drowning in laughter, and we had women to hold, And this went on quite a long time, my father gave me a lot, But when my pockets were empty, my friends all left me to rot. Then a famine hit and drained the land, Everywhere I looked I saw starvation, and a job was so hard to find, I wandered through the city streets, competing for the food of common beggers, Until then I'd never known hunger, but now I wasn't too proud. I finally found some employment, feeding pigs on a farm, I wasn't treated to kindly, I had to sleep in the barn, I had to eat with the swine, The bread I ate was like stone, It didn't take too much time until, I was dreaming of home. Oh, the servants there are better fed, If I could only have what my father gives them, I would truly need nothing more. Oh, I will go and say to him, I'm no longer worthy to be in your family, Will you take me as your servant, and let me live with them. It didn't take too long to pack my things, I left with only what I wore, As I prayed that I still had a home. I was near home, in site of the house, My father just stared, dropped open his mouth, He ran up the road, and fell to my feet, and cried, and cried, Father I've sinned, heaven ashamed, I'm no longer worthy to wear your name, I've learned that my home is right where you are, Oh father, take me in. Bring the best robe, put it on my son, Shoes for his feet, hurry put them on, This is my son who I thought had died, Prepare a feast for my son's alive, I've prayed and prayed, never heard a sound, My son was lost, oh thank you God he's found, My son was dead and he's now alive, Prepare a feast for my son's alive, My son was dead, My son was lost, My son's returned in the hands of God.

(Note: These are the complete lyrics but for the sake of the space of the song, I only used certain verses) Amazing grace! How sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found; Was blind, but now I see. ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, And grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear The hour I first believed. Through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come; ’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, And grace will lead me home. The Lord has promised good to me, His Word my hope secures; He will my Shield and Portion be, As long as life endures. Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail, And mortal life shall cease, I shall possess, within the veil, A life of joy and peace. The earth shall soon dissolve like snow, The sun forbear to shine; But God, who called me here below, Will be forever mine. When we’ve been there ten thousand years, Bright shining as the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise Than when we’d first begun.

Lord I'm gonna love you, Yes, I'm gonna love you. Oh, I'm gonna love you lord, with all that's in my heart. Lord I'm gonna trust you, Yes, I'm gonna trust you. How I'm gonna trust you lord, with all that's in my soul. Lord I'm gonna thank you, Yes, I'm gonna thank you. How I'm gonna thank you lord, with every thought of mine. Lord I'm gonna praise you, Yes, I'm gonna praise you. Yes, I'm gonna praise you lord, with all my strength and might. Lord I'm gonna follow, follow you. Yes, I'm gonna follow, follow you. Lord, I'm gonna follow you, with all my strength and might, With all that's in my heart and all that's in my soul. Lord, I'm gonna trust you, lord I'm gonna trust you. Lord, I'm gonna love you, lord I'm gonna love you. Lord, I'm gonna follow, follow you.

If you love the lord, you will love his will for you. Instead of questions why, there'll be praise for all he brings you through. And if you love the lord, you will love his holy commands. Delight yourself in them, and everything you do will surely stand. We are his workmanship, created for good works in Christ. He calls us to offer up ourselves a living sacrifice. Well if you love the lord, his discipline you wont despise. Cause it will prove to you, that you're a child in his eyes. And if you love the lord, you'll seek his face with all your heart. And even when you're old, from his holy place you wont depart. We are his workmanship, created for good works in Christ. He calls us to offer up ourselves a living sacrifice.

My eyes are dry My faith is old My heart is hard My prayers are cold And I know how I ought to be Alive to You and dead to me But what can be done For an old heart like mine Soften it up With oil and wine The oil is You, Your Spirit of love Please wash me anew With the wine of Your Blood
