Verse 1
From the day that I was born
my God had a plan
You knew my whole life
right in the palm of Your hand
You put me all together
and You made me just right
So I’ll sing Your praises
‘cause You’re so out of sight
So I’ll Praise You
Praise God for all of my days
Verse 2
My God, You made the heavens
and You made all the earth
The stars and seas and fishes
everything that’s of worth
Keeps Your faith forever,
yea, You’ll never leave me
So I’ll sing Your praises
‘cause You let me be free
So I’ll Praise You
Praise God for all of my days
Verse 3
You fight for the oppressed
and You feed the hungry
Frees the prisoned, lifts the fallen,
lets the blind see see
Loves the friend and stranger
the orphan and bereaved,
So I’ll sing Your praises
‘cause You’re all that I need
So I’ll Praise You
Praise God for all of my days
Verse 4
My God You showed Your love for me
despite of my sin,
Sent Your son to die for me
and let me back in,
Left me with a mission
to show all his great love
So I’ll sing Your praises
‘till I join You above
So I’ll Praise You
Praise God for all of my days
So I’ll Praise You
Praise God for all of my days

Verse 1
You had a plan for me,
before I was born, before I was born
To save my sinful life
with the son of God, the son of God
You sent your son to earth
to die on that cross, die on that cross
So how can I respond
to that great loss? To that great loss?

So I’ll return that love
The love that sets me free

Each day you teach me,
you lead me by hand, lead me by hand

the ways that I live, the ways that I live

Where Could I Go?
04:54
|
|||
Verse 1
When I was younger, I was a fool
Asked Dad for riches, wished he was dead
Then I left, and partied hard,
man I was so cool
I was so glad that I’d fled
Verse 2
When the money ran out,
I slept on the street
Had no-one to turn to
no one to help me out
Found myself feeding pigs slop
Oh, it looked so sweet
Would I live? I started to doubt
Bridge
Where could I go?
Who would love me?
Who did I know
that would let me be free?
Verse 3
I remembered my father’s slaves,
and thought that could be me
They were treated well,
and they had a place to sleep
So I left the pigs and slop
And I started to flee
Would they accept this black sheep?
Bridge
Where could I go?
Who would love me?
Who did I know
that would let me be free?
Verse 4
My father, he was looking,
He saw me from afar,
He ran out to greet me,
from the mob, he saved me
He showed me love and brought me home
treated me as a star
He welcomed me and made me be free
Bridge
Where could I go?
Who would love me?
Who did I know
that would let me be free?
Chorus
When we love God, You bring us home and set us free
When we love God, You welcome us with open arms
When we love God, You love us still in spite of sin
So I’ll love God, and run into Your open arms.
When I was younger, I was a fool.

What Do You See?
04:41
|
|||
Verse 1
I was just nine years old
when the army came to town
The army meant to save us
burned it to the ground
As I hid I saw my friends and family die.
Verse 2
I was just twelve years old
when a man came to our door,
Told my mum he had a job for me
with money food and more,
In the brothel now I know that it was all a lie.
Chorus
When you look at me, what do you see?
Do you see me as a gift, given to a man?
Do you see the years of pain,
of mem’ries trapping me?
Do you see Jesus? Do you see Jesus?
Do you see Jesus in me?
Verse 3
I was just fifteen years old
when I had my first joint,
Thought I was cool
and knew that I had to prove a point
Broken, alone, addicted, who will help me now?
Verse 4
I was thirty four years old
and had done it all before,
Rich and loaded, but one mistake
and I was shown the door
Now I live out on the streets,
and all I see are scowls
Chorus
When you look at me, what do you see?
Do you see me as a gift, given to a man?
Do you see the years of pain,
of mem’ries trapping me?
Do you see Jesus? Do you see Jesus?
Do you see Jesus in me?

You made us out of love
Crafted from above
But we ignored your touch
But you kept calling us
Kept faith in us
Because you loved us all so much

Because you were not done
And you told us to show your love to all
And you told us to show your love to all

Love out loud on heaven and earth
Love out loud cause your name comes first

Faces of a Generation
04:26
|
|||
Verse 1
So much suffering in the world today
Young people getting pulled in every which way
TV and magazines having their say
Some new lie for every new day
Voices yelling at them “Be this, do that”
“You’re too skinny and you’re too fat”
“Fit in this dress, gotta take of that hat”
Well, I’ve had enough of that.
Pre Chorus
I see the faces of a generation
struggling to find their voice.
I long to hear from a new creation
Singing out a brand new verse
Chorus
I am who you made me to be
So I will jump and sing and shout and dance
Cause I am who you made me to be
So I will jump and sing and shout
I am who you made me to be
So I will jump and sing and shout and dance
Cause I am who you made me to be
So I will jump and sing and shout and dance
Verse 2
So many choices fighting for traction
But their worth is only a fraction
Of the voice that tells me that I am loved
And out of that love I cannot be shoved
Depression, disorder, it’s all out of order
It’s not the way you made it to be
But trusting in you, I can go past the border
Find the love that sets me free.
Pre Chorus
I see the faces of a generation
struggling to find their voice.
I long to hear from a new creation
Singing out a brand new verse
Chorus
I am who you made me to be
So I will jump and sing and shout and dance
Cause I am who you made me to be
So I will jump and sing and shout
I am who you made me to be
So I will jump and sing and shout and dance
Cause I am who you made me to be
So I will jump and sing and shout and dance

Verse 1
I’m feeling down, I’m in a fuzz
I can’t seem to sort things out
I wish I could say why, because
I just don’t understand
I’m feeling down, I’m in a fuzz
I can’t seem to sort things out
I wish I could say why, because
I just don’t understand
Pre Chorus
Some days are good, some days are bad.
Some days I’m great, but some days I’m sad
But I can make a choice
Chorus
I can choose to love me Lord
‘cause that’s what you adore
I am who I am
You made me just the way that I am
I can choose to celebrate
To choose to love and not to hate
I can make this choice
So I’ll choose to love me as I am.
Verse 2
Society will tell me that
I need to look a certain way
But no matter how hard I try
I just don’t fit the bill
So instead I try to listen
To your word and not the world
You’re the one, the voice of reason
The one I need to hear
Pre Chorus
Some days are good, some days are bad.
Some days I’m great, but some days I’m sad
But I can make a choice
Chorus
I can choose to love me Lord
‘cause that’s what you adore
I am who I am
You made me just the way that I am
I can choose to celebrate
To choose to love and not to hate
I can make this choice
So I’ll choose to love me as I am.

When I love myself, I give myself the courage
So I can love others, bring them to a place
Where they can love God
and be changed by your love.
When I love God, it makes me want to go
So I can love others, coming from the space
From when I love myself
and become the man I am.
Chorus
Cause I’m Under Construction, you’re working in me
So I can be the man you made me to be
So I’m under construction and I’ll open my heart to you
One day I’ll be the man you made from the start.
