Defender

You go before I know

That You've even gone to win my war

You come back with the head of my enemy

You come back and You call it my victory, oh-ooh

You go before I know

That You've even gone to win my war

Your love becomes my greatest defense

It leads me from the dry wilderness

And all I did was praise

All I did was worship

All I did was bow down, oh

All I did was stay still

Hallelujah, You have saved me

So much better Your way

Hallelujah, great Defender

So much better Your way

You know before I do

Where my heart can seek to find Your truth

Your mercy is the shade I'm living in

And You restore my faith and hope again

And all I did was praise, ohhh, oh-ooh

All I did was worship

All I did was bow down, oh

All I did was stay still, stay still

Hallelujah, You have saved me

So much better Your way

Hallelujah, great Defender

So much better Your way

When I thought I lost me

You knew where I left me

You reintroduced me to Your love

You picked up all my pieces

Put me back together

You are the defender of my heart

When I thought I lost me

You knew where I left me

You reintroduced me to Your love

You picked up all my pieces

Put me back together

You are the defender of my heart

When I thought I lost me

You knew where I left me

You reintroduced me to Your love

You picked up all my pieces

Put me back together

You are the defender of my heart

Hallelujah, You have saved me

So much better this way

Hallelujah, great Defender

So much better Your way

So much better Your way

(I know it's so much better)

So much better Your way

(I know it, I know it)

And all I did was praise

All I need to do is worship

Lord, I will just bow down

I'm just gonna stay still

Lord I Need You

Lord, I come, I confess

Bowing here I find my rest

Without You I fall apart

You're the One that guides my heart

Lord, I need You, oh, I need You

Every hour I need You

My one defense, my righteousness

Oh God, how I need You

Where sin runs deep Your grace is more

Where grace is found is where You are

Where You are, Lord, I am free

Holiness is Christ in me

Lord, I need You, oh, I need You

Every hour I need You

My one defense, my righteousness

Oh God, how I need You

So teach my song to rise to You

When temptation comes my way

When I cannot stand I'll fall on You

Jesus, You're my hope and stay

Lord, I need You, oh, I need You

Every hour I need You

My one defense, my righteousness

Oh God, how I need You

You're my one defense, my righteousness

Oh God, how I need You

My one defense, my righteousness

Oh God, how I need You 

Thank You Jesus For The Blood

I was a wretch

I remember who I was

I was lost, I was blind

I was running out of time

Sin separated

The breach was far too wide

But from the far side of the chasm

You held me in your sight

So You made a way

Across the great divide

Left behind Heaven's throne

To build it here inside

And there at the cross

You paid the debt I owed

Broke my chains, freed my soul

For the first time I had hope

Thank you, Jesus for the blood applied

Thank you, Jesus, it has washed me white

Thank you, Jesus, You have saved my life

Brought me from the darkness into glorious light

You took my place

Laid inside my tomb of sin

You were buried for three days

But then You walked right out again

And now death has no sting

And life has no end

For I have been transformed

By the blood of the lamb

Thank You, Jesus, for the blood applied (thank You, Jesus)

Thank You, Jesus, it has washed me white

Thank You, Jesus, You have saved my life

Brought me from the darkness into glorious light

There is nothing stronger

Than the wonder working power of the blood

The blood

That calls us sons and daughters

We are ransomed by our Father

Through the blood

The blood

There is nothing stronger

Of the wonder working power of the blood

The blood

That calls us sons and daughters

We are ransomed by the Father

Through the blood

The blood

Thank You, Jesus, for the blood applied

Thank You, Jesus, it have washed me white

Thank You, Jesus, You have saved my life

Brought me from the darkness into glorious light

Glory to His name

Glory to His name

There to my heart was the blood applied

Glory to His name

Because He Lives

God sent His Son, they called Him Jesus

He came to love, heal and forgive

He lived and died to buy my pardon

An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow

Because He lives, all fear is gone

Because I know He holds the future

And life is worth the living just because He lives

And then one day, I'll cross that river

I'll fight life's final war with pain

And then as death gives way to victory

I'll see the lights of glory, and I'll know He lives

Because He lives, I can face tomorrow

Because He lives, all fear is gone

Because I know He holds the future

And life is worth the living just because He lives

And life is worth the living just because He lives
