Confession

What’s it like to wear Your shoes?
What’s it like, Lord, to be like You?
Oh, You died for me and You died for the lost
And You gave Your life when You died on the cross
And now You’re calling me to do the same
You’re calling me to die today
Oh, Lord I want to learn to be like You

Chorus
Cause I’m a loser for Jesus Christ
I’ve given my all, yes I’m learning to die
I’m a loser for Jesus Christ
I’m ready to lose my life

So now today I want to be
All that You would want me to be
And I really don’t care what others do
For Lord I just want to be like You
Oh, it’s not in me I know somehow
To want to stand out from the crowd
Oh, what I lose I lose for love of You

Repeat Chorus

So what I’ve gained I’ll count as lost
All that I am for love of the Cross
And You said that I must be like You
Livin’ the way that You would want me to
Oh, and where I go and what I say
I will lose my life, Lord, for You today
Oh, hand in hand I’ll walk right next to You

Repeat Chorus

Dearest Father, teach us to love as we love one another
For love is the meaning of You
So teach us to do what You do

Dearest Teacher, teach us to pray as we pray for each other
And teach us to give from our hearts
For without You our hearts are too hard

Chorus
Show us the way for we’ve all gone astray
But the price that You paid was the life that You gave
You’ve said that we’re Yours so we know that for sure
We can call You our Jesus, we call You our Lord
Yes, we call You our Lord

Holy Maker, give us a clean mind for Your pleasure
And make us pure in heart
So that we may know who You are

Great Creator, create hearts of fire to love You forever
And give to us a steadfast love
And let You be always enough

Repeat Chorus

Lord of love, You’re my comfort in the darkness
And my hope and joy full time
And Lord of life, You’re the One who’s always with me
And gives me strength to do what is right

Chorus
You’re the rock of my salvation
And my constant consolation
Now my heart is ever dancing deep inside

Lord of grace, You said that I could find You
When I seek Your face with all my heart
And Lord of Lords, You give grace to the humble
But every time I fall or stumble there You are

Repeat Chorus

Lord of time, though the clock just keeps on tickin’
While I’ve still got life worth livin’ I’ll tell the truth
And Lord of all, though the road is straight and narrow
You give me hope for my tomorrow to be with You

Repeat Chorus

Set a time, set a place, I will be there if I can
You know I always like to spend time with you
Set an hour, set a date, set a lifetime of forgiveness
For this life that I am missing here with you

Chorus
As I’m growing older I think I realize
Though you’re one foot taller we see eye to eye
And this love that you shown me I’ve seen somewhere before
For this love that’s now in me I found it in the Lord
And all of you I’ve memorized
For you’re the gentle giant in my life

Though you might stand above me in things I may not know
You know I always like to learn things from you
Though there’s things I might be missing in this life that I’ve been living
Still I always like to learn your point of view

Repeat Chorus

You’re the quiet storm that lead me when my heart would deceive me
And tell me to run from the truth
When my silence used to hurt me and when my heart it would not understand
You’d turn around and show the heart in you

Repeat Chorus

Here’s the church, here’s the steeple
And they all come from miles around
Open the doors and see all the people
But they’re just as lost as they are found
Close the doors and hear them pray
But open the doors and they just walk away

Chorus
Answer heaven, answer heaven
Please answer heaven, please answer heaven, please answer

Jesus loves us this we know
And he died to set us free
For the Bible tells us so
Nothing good in you or in me
He is strong and all are weak
But so easily we say, Jesus loves me

Repeat Chorus

Red and yellow, black and white
He’s the maker of us all
Though all are precious in His sight
Most are hard and most will fall
Jesus loves the little children
But we hate the sinner and love our sin

Repeat Chorus

I’ve seen Him turn water into wine
And raise men from the grave
I’ve watched Him feed the hungry and help the poor
Heal the sick and the lame
But today He did something that I’ve never seen before
He turned to the largest crowd and said aloud, “This is from the Lord”

Chorus 1
He said you have to hate your father, and hate your own mother
I don’t understand, I can’t comprehend, then what is love really for?
He said you have to hate your children, and even hate your wife
I don’t want to know, this can’t be so, do I really have to die to my life?

I’ve seen Him dine with the sinner
And rebuke the Pharisee
I’ve seen Him forgive a cheating tax collector
And forgive even me
But today He did something that I’ve never seen before
He turned to us and He said we must, hear the words of the Lord

Repeat Chorus 1

I’ve watched Him walk on the water,
And calm the strongest sea
I’ve seen Him heal a dying leper
And make a man out of me
But today he did something that I’ve never seen before
He gave His life, and was crucified, I know now He’s the Lord

Chorus 2
And so I have to hate my father, and hate my own mother
I now understand I can comprehend this is what love is for
And if I learn to hate my children, and even hate my wife
I will come to know, cause He told me so, what it means to die to my life

To Christ except the Father draw
No wandering sinner goes
Though the tongues of men have ever talked
No saint or sinner has ever known

Chorus
Souls in peril rest in grace
Tis’ His joy and perfect will
To save you from life’s dark disgrace
Safe in His perfect still

Now raise yourself up from the ground
Rescue from the liar’s pit
Though the tempter dared you lost or found
But left you deep in sin

Repeat Chorus

Now make His gladness of love complete
Take no credit for His part
For He’s washed your hands and your feet
Now give Him all your heart

Repeat Chorus

The end of a long day, the start of a new
He climbs into bed in a hotel room
And he opens a Bible and peeks inside
A first in years, the first time in his life

He reads of creation and how we were made
How savior did come so that he could be saved
Then he turns out the light and he stares at the dark
And closes his eyes, and prays from his heart

Chorus
Like a well written symphony the word sinks deep inside
And the author that speaks plays a melody one note at time
Like a well written symphony each word of hope springs to life
And the master that sings, writes the words that bring in one heart at a time

All through the ages, all through history
The Bible was passed down to you and me
Men like Gutenberg and his winepress of words
And Tyndale who gave us every script and every verse

There’s the ones who lived and the ones who died
The women and men who sacrificed their lives
To bring us the story so that we could write
Our message of love and life

Repeat Chorus

Some say You’re John the Baptist alive anew from the grave
Others say that You’re one of the prophets given for us today
Some say that You’re Elijah back again from the dead
But when they ask me who you are, Lord, this is what I’ve I said

Chorus
This is my God and this is my Lord
This is the One I worship, the Jesus I adore
For You are the Son and You have the truth
So where can I go now I know of the life that hides in You?

Some say that You are a demon and others You’re a saint
They call you the Galilean with too much time to waste
Well I don’t know that much about You but I know just who You are
So when they ask me, Lord, about You, I say this from my heart

Repeat Chorus

Some say that You’re nothing special, a carpenter by trade
Just an ordinary person trying to make a name
But when it all comes down to who’s who, You’ve told us loud and clear
The Son of man has come down to serve and that is why You’re here

Repeat Chorus

A thousand summers, a hundred springs
The winters of a life that thought it knew all there was to know
But the answers I have found they seem so very few
Compared to the ones I thought I knew

Chorus
Just a simple prayer to You
What all my doubts and emotions bring me to
And should my heart start to wander
I know You’ll see me through
And this I pray will keep me close to You

The lessons of a humble man, the calamities of pride
They echo through the hollow of my heart
But the prayers of a simpleton have their value
Compared to the pride of a star

Repeat Chorus

So pray your prayers simplistically and let your words be few
For where there’s words sin is never far
Just simply say what you mean and tell Him the truth
For God hears the prayers of the heart

Repeat Chorus
