1. Live and Lose by Chad Markley

Live and Lose Take 2 by chadmarkley

"You can be my net

When I stumble down

You can be my leap, up off the ground

My escape

From the live and lose."

2. Shadowfeet by Brooke Fraser

"Walking, stumbling on these shadowfeet
towards home, a land that i've never seen
I am changing; less and less asleep
made of different stuff than when i began
And I've sensed it all along
fast approaching is the day"

3. One of Those Days by Joy Williams

"It's all mine this kind of life of hurry up and wait"

If my soul one goal to seek
This my solitary vision 'til I only dwell in Thee
That I only dwell in Thee"

5. I Will Show You Love by Kendall Payne

"You will hope in something real that won’t depend on how you feel
When you call my name then I will answer, answer

I am on your side though the wind and waves beat against your faith
You were on my mind when the world was made
Trust in me my child, Trust in me my child"

9. How Deep the Fathers Love For Us by Selah

"I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection"

10. New Soul by Yael Naim

"I'm a new soul
I came to this strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit about how to give and take.
But since I came here
Felt the joy and the fear
Finding myself making every possible mistake

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la...

I'm a young soul in this very strange world
Hoping I could learn a bit bout what is true and fake.
But why all this hate?
Try to communicate
Finding trust and love is not always easy to make."

11. I Stand in Awe by Jeff Johnson

"Who can grasp Your infinite wisdom
Who can fathom the depth of Your love
You are beautiful beyond description
Majesty enthroned above"

"I'm so tired of being alone,
I'm so tired of on-my-own,
...Sometimes late at night I get to wonderin' about you baby"

13. Resurrection by Nicol Sponberg

"You speak and all creation falls to its knees
You raise Your hand and calm the waves of the raging sea
You have a way of turning winter to spring
Make something beautiful out of all this suffering"


14. Unredeemed by Selah.




"Life breaks and falls apart

But we know these are

Places where grace is soon to be so amazing

It may be unfulfilled

It may be unrestored

But when anything that's shattered is laid before the lord

Just watch and see

It will not be unredeemed"

"I am meeting myself and I am ready to see

Truth can break our heart that is when it will start

To set us free"


16. Your Love Will Never Change by Dave Barnes




"And You know they tell me

You've given poor men kingdoms

Handed guilty freedom

Taken on their stains

Your love will never change


So tell me

There's nothing that You can't do

Love me though I've hurt You

You'll take all my blame

Your love will never change"

Humbly at His feet I bow,

Worldly pleasures all forsaken;

Take me, Jesus, take me now."

Fill me with your love

You are all I need

I surrender all of me"

"Standing on the promises that cannot fail

When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail.

By the living word of God I shall prevail.

I’m standing on the promises of God."

Everybody was dancin in the moonlight"
