Rise - Selena Gomez

You can stand beside the madness like a falling tear
You can hold onto the sadness like a souvenir
Or you can close your eyes and see your life
Like the air

You can tap into the strength you never knew you had
You can breathe into your faith no matter where you’re at
Just close your eyes and change your life
Like the air

Like the air you can
Rise from the rubble with your mind, you can hover
You can rise like the tide, like the heat in the summer
Yes, I know there are those who will wanna bring you down
But you can rise with your mind and make your higher power proud
You can rise
Like the air you can rise

The earth can pull you down with all its gravity
And the measure of your worth is sometimes hard to see
So just hold on, when the night is done
Like the sun

Like the air you can
Rise from the rubble with your mind, you can hover
You can rise like the tide, like the heat in the summer
Yes, I know there are those who will wanna bring you down
But you can rise with your mind and make your higher power proud
You can rise
Like the air you can
Rise

So even when your bones feel like weights
And it’s hard to lift the smile on your perfect face
You can still find a peaceful place
Close your eyes until you're floating up in outer space
It’ll be alright, they’re just jealous of your highs
So they can knock you down, but

Like the air you can
Rise from the rubble with your mind, you can hover
You can rise like the tide, like the heat in the summer
Yes, I know there are those who will wanna bring you down
But you can rise with your mind and make your higher power proud
You can rise
Like the air
you can rise
Like the air you can rise

Thrive - Switchfoot

Been fighting things that I can't see
Like voices coming from the inside of me and
Like doing things I find hard to believe in
Am I myself or am I dreaming?

I've been awake for an hour or so
Checking for a pulse but I just don't know
Am I a man when I feel like a ghost?
The stranger in the mirror is wearing my clothes

No, I'm not alright
I know that I'm not right
A steering wheel don't mean you can drive
A warm body don't mean I'm alive

No, I'm not alright
I know that I'm not right
Feel like I travel but I never arrive
I wanna thrive not just survive

I come alive when I hear you singing
But lately I haven't been hearing a thing and
I get the feeling that I'm in between
A machine and a man who only looks like me

I try and hide it and not let it show
But deep down inside me I just don't know
Am I a man when I feel like a hoax?
The stranger in the mirror is wearing my clothes

No, I'm not alright
I know that I'm not right
A steering wheel don't mean you can drive
A warm body don't mean I'm alive

No, I'm not alright
I know that I'm not right
Feel like I travel but I never arrive
I wanna thrive not just survive

I'm always close, but I'm never enough
I'm always in line, but I'm never in love
I get so down, but I won't give up
I get so down, but I won't give up
I get so down, but I won; t give up

Been fighting things that I can't see
Like voices coming from the inside of me and
Like doing things I find hard to believe in
Am I myself or am I dreaming?

Am I myself or am I dreaming?
Am I myself or am I dreaming?

Thrive, thrive, thrive, yeaah, thrive

No, I'm not alright
I know that I'm not right
A steering wheel don't mean you can drive
A warm body don't mean I'm alive

No, I'm not alright
I know that I'm not right
Feel like I travel but I never arrive
I wanna thrive not just survive
I wanna thrive not just survive

Yeah yeah
Feel like I travel but I never arrive
I wanna thrive not just survive
I wanna thrive not just survive
I wanna thrive not just survive

Feels like I travel but I never arrive
I wanna thrive not just survive

Good Enough - Lifehouse

It seems the more we talk, the less I have to say,
Lets put our differences aside, wanted to make you proud,
but I just got in your way, I found a place that I can hide,
Now everything is changing, but I still feel the same,
We're running out of time,
What do I have to do?
To try and make you see, that this is who I am, and it's all that I can be,
I try to find myself, looking inside your eyes, you're all that I wanted to be,
There must be something else, behind all the lies, that you wanted me to believe,
now everyone is saying, that I should find a way, to leave it all behind,
What do I have to do? to try and make you see, that this is who I am, and it's all that I can be,
What do I have to do? to try and make you see, trying to be like you,
isn't good enough for me, and I wont let you go, and I wont let you down,
and I wont give you up, don't you give up on me now, what do I have to do?
to try and make you see, that this is who I am, and
It's all that I can be,
What do I have to do? tryin to be like you, isn't good enough for me

You Are My Rescue - Royal Tailor

The sound of silence is all that I can hear
The questions echo between my heart and my tears
Have you left me here
No shaking of earth, just trembling hands
No oceans that part, just You holding my heart
So I would come to know

In every flood, in every flame
Nothing I fear, can stand in Your way
You, You, You are my rescue
Wherever I am, whenever I fall
You lift me up, You Never let go
You, You, You are my rescue

You were faithful before, you'll be faithful again
Whether high or low, you'll walk with me till the end
I don't have to be afraid

You're never too late, You're never too far away
That you can’t save me, oh Lord you save me

I Will Rest - City Harbor

I try so hard to keep it in
When I'm falling apart
Put up walls to preserve
My fragile heart
But I'm tired cause I know
That I'm not strong enough, strong enough

I make my plans
I try to prosper by the work
Of my own hands
But I stumble cause the truth is
That I can't
And I grow weary cause it seems
The race is never done, never done

I will rest, I will rest
In the promises that You
Have given me
I will rest, I will rest
All Your goodness
And Your mercy follow me
They follow me

I will not fear
I won't forget
That you are always near
Even when the road I walk's unclear
In the waiting I'll be still
And know that You are God, You are God

I will rest, I will rest
In the promises that You
Have given me
I will rest, I will rest
All Your goodness
And Your mercy follow me
They follow me

You're my Shelter, my Refuge
Fortress for my soul
I will trust You
You're my Shepherd, my Rescue
Forever my stronghold
I will trust You, trust You

I will rest, I will rest
In the promises that You
Have given me
I will rest, I will rest
All Your goodness
And Your mercy follow me
They follow me
Follow me

Who You Are - Unspoken

I know that look you're giving,
Like you've got something to prove
'Cause I have walked for miles and miles
In that same pair of shoes

You refuse forgiveness
Like it's something to be earned
Sometimes pain's the only way that we can learn

You can never fall too hard,
So fast, so far
That you can't get back
When you're lost

Where you are is never too late,
So bad, so much
That you can't change
Who you are, ooo-oooh
You can change who you are, ooo-oooh

You believe in freedom,
But you don't know how to choose
You gotta step out of your feelings
That you're so afraid to lose

And everyday
You put your feet on the floor, you gotta walk through the door
It's never gonna be easy
But it's all worth fighting for

You can never fall too hard,
So fast, so far
That you can't get back
When you're lost

Where you are is never too late,
So bad, so much
That you can't change
Who you are, ooo-oooh
You can change who you are, ooo-oooh

So let the ashes fall wherever they land
Come back from wherever you've been
To the foot of the cross
To the feet of Jesus,
The feet of Jesus

You can never fall too hard,
So fast, so far
That you can't get back
When you're lost

Where you are is never too late,
So bad, so much
That you can't change
At the foot of the cross
You can change, yeah
Who you are, at the foot of the cross
You can change, yeah
(Who you are)
You can change who you are, ooo-oooh
You can change

Like I Am - City Harbor

I've got my giants
That I can't take down
I fight with everything I am
But it's hard to stand my ground
I've got my secrets
That I don't let out
I'm afraid the me that no one sees
Is too hard to love right now

So I focus on my shame
And the things that I can't change
I've convinced that perfect's what You want

But somewhere in my desperation
You give me this invitation
To leave the guilt I've carried
To know that You accept me
Even with my complications
Your love has no hesitation
You see the good, You see the bad
And You love me, You love me
Like I am

I am not my failures
I am not my flaws
I am not defined by my mistakes
Only by Your love
But it's a constant battle
To believe what's true
That Your love is unconditional
No matter what I do

Somewhere in my desperation
You give me this invitation
To leave the guilt I've carried
To know that You accept me
Even with my complications
Your love has no hesitation
You see the good, You see the bad
And You love me, You love me
Like I am

And You won't go away
So I won't be ashamed
You are for me
You love me like I am
And it won't ever change

Somewhere in my desperation
You give me this invitation
To leave the guilt I've carried
To know that You accept me
Even with my complications
Your love has no hesitation
You see the good, You see the bad
And You love me, You love me
Like I am
And You love me, You love me
Like I am

Your Love Still Wins - City Harbor

I'm well aware of the place we live in
A world that's lonely and bruised
Yeah I believe that Your plan is perfect
But that isn't easy to do

Sometimes the days go by and I start to wonder
Why pain lives on, Why we have to suffer
I don't understand it, I might not ever
But I do know that You walk among us
And I hold on to the things You've promised
Yeah this world will put up a fight
But You've conquered it
Whatever comes in my life
Your love still wins
Ohhh, Your love still wins
Ohhh, Your love still wins

I know that we are all broken people
Born into struggle and sin
You never said You would keep us from heartache
I know You stood where we stand

Sometimes the days go by and I start to wonder
Why pain lives on, Why we have to suffer
I don't understand it, I might not ever
But I do know that You walk among us
And I hold on to the things You've promised
Yeah this world will put up a fight
But You've conquered it
Whatever comes in my life
Your love still wins

There's still hope in the night
When the lights have all gone out
Come what may You remain
Here with us now

So when the days go by and I start to wonder
Why pain lives on, Why we have to suffer
I don't need to understand it
Cause I do know that You walk among us
And I hold on to the things You've promised
Yeah this world will put up a fight
But You've conquered it
Whatever comes in my life
Your love still wins
Ohhh, Your love still wins
Ohhh, Your love still wins
Your love still wins

Heartbeat - City Harbor

I remember the first time
That I felt You in my life
I was different for good
I started seeing the world with
New eyes, a new hope, a new mind
And that's when I finally understood

You are the center of everything
And You are moving inside of me
You are the heartbeat
You are the heartbeat
You are the heartbeat
Oh, You put the light inside my eyes
You make me come alive
You are the heartbeat
You are the heartbeat
You are the heartbeat
And You always will be

You are there on the good days
The bad days, the seasons of heartache
Somehow Your love never fades
I can't live without You
I need You, so why would I try to
I'm better off walking with You
Than walking away

You are the center of everything
And You are moving inside of me
You are the heartbeat
You are the heartbeat
You are the heartbeat
Oh, You put the light inside my eyes
You make me come alive
You are the heartbeat
You are the heartbeat
You are the heartbeat
And You always will be

You're the road I travel on
You're my hope when I have none
You're the race that I will run
You are the real thing
If there's any good in me
You're the heartbeat

You are the center of everything
And You are moving inside of me
You are the heartbeat
You are the heartbeat
You are the heartbeat
Oh, You put the light inside my eyes
You make me come alive
You are the heartbeat
You are the heartbeat
You are the heartbeat
And You always will be
You always will be
You always will be

Somebody Tell Him - City Harbor

There's a child on the subway
His story's written on his face
The pain he's felt is enough to fill a lifetime
He doesn't know any other way

Somebody tell him that the lost are saved
Somebody tell him that his debt's been paid
And let him know love is calling out his name
Somebody tell him he's a child of the King
And there's an end to the suffering
And hope that never fades
Through grace He's made a way
Somebody tell him, somebody tell him now

You can see it on the TV
Or in the middle of a crowded room
There's a sea of broken hearts that are longing
To be washed away by an ocean of truth

Somebody tell them that the lost are saved
Somebody tell them that their debt's been paid
And let them know love is calling out their name
Somebody tell them they're a child of the King
And there's an end to the suffering
And hope that never fades
Through grace He's made a way
Somebody tell them, somebody tell them now
Oh, somebody tell them, somebody tell them now

Too many times we've all held back
The truth from those put in our path
So let us be the voice of love to them
Somebody tell them, somebody tell them now
Oh somebody tell them, somebody tell them now

Somebody tell them that the lost are saved
Somebody tell them that their debt's been paid
And let them know love is calling out their name
Somebody tell them they're a child of the King
And there's an end to the suffering
And hope that never fades
Through grace He's made a way
Somebody tell them, somebody tell them now
Oh, somebody tell them, somebody tell them now

I Still Believe - City Harbor

Even when the ocean rises high
And I can't see the sunshine in the sky
Even when hope is hard to see
I still believe
When I'm down a road I wish I didn't take
Cause I thought I knew a better way
And the only way out's through the valley deep
I still believe

In a love that's true
In a love that's real
In a love I know is here
Even when that's not how I feel
In a love that's fair
In a love that's right
In a love that will get me
Through the darkest of all nights
I still believe, I still believe

Even when my heart is breaking down
And the pain it stings and its all around
No I won't give in to the doubt in me
I still believe (I still believe)
Even when I don't know where to go
And I'm in a place that isn't home
I know somewhere that welcomes me
So I still believe

In a love that's true
In a love that's real
In a love I know is here
Even when that's not how I feel
In a love that's fair
In a love that's right
In a love that will get me
Through the darkest of all nights
I still believe, I still believe

I know that it is not the end
On the day that I take my last breath
You will be there to welcome me
Forever for eternity
And that's the reason I believe
The reason I believe

The reason I believe
The reason I believe
The reason I believe

Come However You Are - City Harbor

To anyone walking down a hard road
Worn out with blisters on your feet
To anyone with a heart that's shattered
Doing your best to hold it together
With no prayer to pray and no song left to sing

Whatever pain you're dealing with
Let me offer this

Come however you are
Come with all your heart breaks
Come with all the mistakes you've made
Lay them down at the cross
Give them to the God who loves you
Hurt, scarred, falling apart
Come however you are

To the girl who never had a father
To the guy who thinks he'll never
Amount to much of anything
To those of us who feel unwanted, unneeded, Unloved and desperately incomplete

Come however you are
Come with all your heart breaks
Come with all the mistakes you've made
Lay them down at the cross
Give them to the God who loves you
Hurt, scarred, falling apart
Come however you are

Come with your regrets
Come with the things you can't take
Come with all your fears and all your shame
With everything
Come with the pieces of
Your bruised and broken heart
Don't wait, don't wait

Whatever pain you're dealing with
Let me offer this

Come however you are
Come with all your heart breaks
Come with all the mistakes you've made
Lay them down at the cross
Give them to the God who loves you
Hurt, scarred, falling apart
Come however you are

Come however you
Come however you are
Come however you
Come however you are
Come however you
Come however you are
Come however you are

What Faith Can Do - Kutless

Everybody falls sometimes
Gotta find the strength to rise
From the ashes
And make a new beginning

Anyone can feel the ache
You think it's more than you can take
But you're stronger
Stronger than you know

Don't you give up now
The sun will soon be shining
You gotta face the clouds
To find the silver lining

I've seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn't ever end
Even when the sky is falling
I've seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That's what faith can do

It doesn't matter what you've heard
Impossible is not a word
It's just a reason
For someone not to try

Everybody's scared to death
When they decide to take that step
Out on the water
It'll be alright

Life is so much more
Than what your eyes are seeing
You will find your way
If you keep believing

I've seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn't ever end
Even when the sky is falling
I've seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That's what faith can do

Overcome the odds
You don't have a chance
(That's what faith can do)
When the world says you can't
It'll tell you that you can

I've seen dreams that move the mountains
Hope that doesn't ever end
Even when the sky is falling
And I've seen miracles just happen
Silent prayers get answered
Broken hearts become brand new
That's what faith can do
That's what faith can do

Even if you fall sometimes
You will have the strength to rise

Take Me Away - Lifehouse

This time what I want is you
There is no one else
Who can take your place
This time you burn me with your eyes
You see past all the lies
You take it all away
I've seen it all
And it's never enough
It keeps leaving me needing you

Take me away
Take me away
I've got nothing left to say
Just take me away

I try to make my way to you
But still I feel so lost
I don't know what else I can do
I've seen it all
And it's never enough
It keeps leaving me needing you

Take me away
Take me away
I've got nothing left to say
Just take me away

Don't give up on me yet
Don't forget who I am
I know I'm not there yet
But don't let
Me stay here alone

This time what I want is you
There is no one else
Who can take your place
I've seen enough and it's never enough
It keeps leaving me needing you

Take me away
Take me away
I've got nothing left to say
Just take me away

Take me away
Take me away
I've got nothing left to say
Just take me away

Broken - Lifehouse

The broken clock is a comfort, it helps me sleep tonight
Maybe it can stop tomorrow from stealing all my time
I am here still waiting though i still have my doubts
I am damaged at best, like you've already figured out

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
With a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain, there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on
I'm barely holdin' on to you

The broken locks were a warning you got inside my head
I tried my best to be guarded, I'm an open book instead
I still see your reflection inside of my eyes
That are looking for a purpose, they're still looking for life

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
with a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain (in the pain), is there healing
In your name (in your name) I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin')
I'm barely holdin' on to you

I'm hangin' on another day
Just to see what you throw my way
And I'm hanging on to the words you say
You said that I will be OK

The broken lights on the freeway left me here alone
I may have lost my way now, haven't forgotten my way home

I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing
with a broken heart that's still beating
In the pain(In the pain) there is healing
In your name I find meaning
So I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'),
I'm barely holdin' on to you

I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'), I'm holdin' on (I'm still holdin'),
I'm barely holdin' on to you
