Closer To Your
Heart

(3:51)

Here I am once again crying out on the floor / Trying

to make sense of this emptiness once more / I cant
do this on my own / Im in too deep / I should have
known / I know Youve made me for so much more
than this // CHORUS: Ive been running so fast trying
to get back to the start / Ive been holding so tight
but it all just comes apart / Pull me in, break me
down / Make me new and bring me / Closer to Your
heart / Closer to Your heart // Help me be unafraid,
find my place where You are / Youve always been
enough, Youre the light in the dark / Afraid of giving
up control, but You are there when I let go / Taking this
broken mess, making it beautiful // CHORUS // Oh oh,
Oh oh, make me complete / Oh oh, Oh oh, Youre all I
need / Oh oh, Oh oh, bring me // Closer to Your heart
/ Closer to Your heart // CHORUS // Closer to Your
heart / Closer to Your heart

hurricane

(3:28)

Oooo / Oooo / Oooo / Oooo // Youre spinning out of

control again / Your life feels like a sinking ship / Youre
wondering how it came to this / Is it too late? Is it too
far? / For Him to reach you / And come to where you
are // CHORUS: Step out on the edge / Dont be afraid
of it / And when you feel the rain, call His name / Hell
find you in the hurricane // Oooo / Oooo // Youre in the
wreckage underneath / Your hope is buried somewhere
deep / Youre wondering how long it will keep / Its never
too late, never too far / For you to reach out / And take
a hold of Love // CHORUS // Dont back down from the
fight / Hell shelter you tonight / Just hold on for the
change, call His name / Hell find you in the hurricane //
Theres a place, theres a place you can run / When you
fall and its all come undone / Youll be safe in the raging
storm / So just let go / Cause you are held in His arms
// CHORUS // And when you feel the rain, call His name
/ Hell find you in the hurricane / Oooo / Oooo

for all of us

(4:49)

Oh grace without exception / How fortunate are we /

That this love without measure / Is able to redeem
/ And without hesitation / Our sin is washed away /
Unforgettable the moment / How glorious the day //
CHORUS: Here at the cross, Your death, the price / Your
agony means life / For all of us / You did it for all of us /
Here at the cross, its finally done / Your victory is won /
For all of us / You did it for all of us // The mystery of the
ages / Unfolded on a hill / With the ringing of a hammer /
Hope is now revealed / The very King of heaven / Comes
as a spotless Lamb / Holding all our guilt and shame

/ In His outstretched hands // CHORUS // Hallelujah,

Hallelujah / Worthy is the Lamb that was slain (x2) //
CHORUS // You did it for all of us

whisper

(3:52)

Always looking for a sign / A burning bush, a flash of

light / To show me what to do / A voice coming from the
clouds / Thatll knock me to the ground / So theres no
doubt its You // You calling my name / You pointing the
way / So I dont have to choose / Theres no need to pray
/ I dont want to wait / On You... // CHORUS: Im always
looking for the lightning / For the thunder crashing down
/ Im always wanting easy answers / Wanna hear You
speak out loud / I keep wanting something bigger /
Sometimes I miss Your whisper // I dont ever slow it
down / Stop the wheels from going round / Cant hear
You through the noise / Youd think I would learn / To
take You at Your word / And know Your still small voice //
Calling my name / Pointing the way / One step at a time /
I know I should pray / I know I should wait on You / But..
// CHORUS // It isnt always obvious / Sometimes Ive
gotta learn to trust / Let it go and listen up // CHORUS //
I dont wanna miss Your whisper

burn bright

(4:22)

This song is for you, Christian. I love you and believe in

you always.
Lately I dont recognize you / The fire in your eyes is
fading into embers / So while youre out there in the
darkness / Im praying youll remember // CHORUS: You
were made to shine / You were made for life / Even if
youve lost your way / Turn and you will hear Love say
/ You were made for more / So much more / Child of
Everlasting Light / Made to blaze away the night / So
baby burn bright / Burn bright // You can rise up from
the ashes / Make something beautiful of all the broken
pieces / And Im believing youll come running / Into
the arms of Jesus // CHORUS // BRIDGE: There will
always be somebody in the dark / Ready to rain down
on your last spark / Trying to blow out your flame again
/ They will do it if you let them / So dont you let them
// CHORUS // Burn bright / Burn bright / Im believing
youll come running into the arms of Jesus

this is love

(3:45)

Where theres hatred / Show love, show love / Weak and

broken / Lift them up, lift them up // If theres despair
breath in the peace / Help heal the wounds of another /
Where darkness lives, bring forth the light / Release the
chains // CHORUS: This is love, This is love / Let your
life speak out loud / This is love, This is love / Let the
heavens come down // So gi-gi-give it away-ay / Give it
away / Let mercy rain / This is love, This is love // Hope
is rising / There is joy, there is joy / Its in dying / We
are born, we are born // And as we give, so we receive
/ The grace to pardon another / Redeemed by Him who

shatters pain / And shines the way // CHORUS // Be an

instrument of Truth / Live it out let words be few / Let
our lives be living proof / This is love, this is love / This
is love // CHORUS // This is love, This is love // Let our
lives be living proof / This is love, This is love

born to be

(3:57)

(with gary levox)

We have all been afraid / We have all run away / From

the light, wanting more / We forget the love that were
created for / Before we even know / Were so far from
home // CHORUS: Father heal us now / God show us
how / To get back to the life that weve been missing /
Jesus light the way / Teach us today / To be who we
were born to be // We were born then made new / We
were born to be the images of You / Like the sun and
the stars / So beautifully reflecting who You are / Help
us dare to be / The beauty that You see // CHORUS //
BRIDGE: Theres a fire / Deep inside us all / Shaken by
the wind / Drowning in the rain / And only You / Can
keep it burning bright / Only You, only You can light the
way // God show us how / Father heal us now // Jesus
light the way / Teach us today / To be who we were born
to be // CHORUS // Jesus light the way

(3:12)

My hands reach for You / I feel You moving / Youre

making new / These ruins // And hope inside is
rising / All the time, Im finding // CHORUS: You are
the love with a deeper affection / You stole my heart,
Youre my only obsession / Oh, Youve electrified my
soul / And Youre making the dead alive / Im alive
// My voice sings Your praise / The King of glory
/ I wanna be a page / In Your story // Cuz there
is nothing greater / Than Your touch, my Savior //
CHORUS // BRIDGE: With precious blood / My debt
was paid / Crimson love that forgave / Conquered the
grave / Making the dead alive // CHORUS // Im alive
/ And Youre making the dead alive

when I leave
the room

(4:34)

For my angels - Gracie, Bella & Sadie

Goodnight, looks like we made it through the day / The
moon sighs and I know that were okay / Sleep tight, I
love to watch you drift away / I would come with you
but on my knees Ill stay // Goodnight, five little fingers
holding mine / Take flight into your dreams and lullabies
/ Theres nothing more that I can do, but just fall more
in love with you / And ask the angel armies to stand by
/ When I leave the room // Im gonna fail you, I already
have / Ten thousand times I will fall down flat / Youll
have a seat in the front row of everything I dont know /
And all Im trying to be, youll see // Goodnight, there will
be storms that we come through / In time, we will slay
dragons, me and you / Ill always want to hold you tight,
keep you safe with all my might / So I will leave Jesus
next to you / When I leave the room // And you will run
ahead, as if you know the way / And I will pray more than
one should have to pray / There will be words we cant
take back, silences too / And Ill be on my knees, youll
see // One night, when I am old and unsteady / Youll
want me to fight, but Ill tell you that Im ready / When
theres nothing left to do, I will still be loving you / Then
youll fold your fingers into mine / And I will let Jesus
hold you tight / When I leave the room

IN the end

(4:54)

Cant catch a break / Youve had your fill of old clichs,

/ Like life is hard but God is good / And even though
its true / It wont stop what youre going through / I
wish that I could say it would / But Hes outside of what
you feel / It might not make sense, but one day it will
// CHORUS: Theres coming a day the sun will always
shine / Hes gonna wipe away every tear from your eyes
/ Hold on my brother / Things are gonna get better /
Youre gonna smile again / Cuz we win in the end //
oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (x6) // Your standing still / Life has
handed you a bitter pill / Once again youre on your face
/ Youve got questions / Plenty of secret confessions /
Wondering If youve run out of grace / But Hes outside
of what you feel / This life is just a moment / But our
forever is sealed // CHORUS // It wont be about streets
of gold, pearly gates / Harps and wings, diamond lakes
/ All I know is that Hes going to hold you, hold me /
Heartache will disappear/ Questions will become clear
/ Life will all make sense / In the end // oh-oh-oh-ohoh (x6) // CHORUS // oh-oh-oh-oh-oh (x6) // Glory,
glory hallelujah (x6) / We win in the end // Glory, glory
hallelujah (x6) / We win in the end / We win in the end

Slavery still exists. In fact, there are more slaves in the

world today than at any other point in our history. In 2005, I founded
Abolition International to support quality restorative care for victims
of sex trafficking around the world. Since that time, Abolition
International has helped launch, expand, and improve aftercare
programs in India, Moldova, Cambodia, and the United States.

Rescue without quality restorative care is not rescue at all. Be

someones freedom. Invest in quality care for victims of sex
trafficking and bring this travesty to an end. I am on a mission to
abolish sex slavery and human exploitation. Please join me.
