Come now

As you are
Or as you want to be

Are you ready

Are you ready

Come now

Tired broken
Scared or just in need

Ready or not

It’s alright
Take your time

If nothing else just come

Are you ready

Are you ready



Come now

Bring your hopes
Your dreams

Your doubts
Your scars

Are you ready

Are you ready

Come now

Bring your hurts
Your fears

Your faith
Your heart

Are you ready

Are you ready or not

There’s no place like His presence

There’s no time like the now

Every one two or three of us

Count Him in here and now



He welcomes the broken

He’s alright with your past

He’s not mad at any one of us

But He waits with open arms

Says come

Are you ready

Are you ready

Come now

Leave your inhibitions
At the door

Are you ready

Are you ready

Come now

Lay your burdens down
He’s got them all

Are you ready

Are you ready or not

He’s still faithful to deliver

Mighty as ever to save

He’s still good on His promises

And His love still never fails

He’s not moved by perfection

Or how well we look the part

But He’s wild about the hidden stuff

Like He’s wild about the heart

Come now

For all we’ve seen
We ain’t seen nothing yet

Are you ready

Are you ready

Come now

Bring Him praise
For what He might do next

Are you ready

Are you ready or not

He’s already bought our freedom

He’s already paid our debt

He’s already done the miracle

He’s already conquered death

He’s our light and salvation

He’s our rock solid hope

He’s already done enough for us

He’s already doing more

He’s already seen the ending

He’s already seen us through

He’s already breaking out in us

He’s already on the move

He’s already won our battles

He’s already paved the way

He’s already gone ahead of us

And He is ready when we are

Come now

For all we’ve seen
We ain’t seen nothing yet

Are you ready

Are you ready

Come now

Bring Him praise
For what He’s gonna do next

Are you ready

Are you ready or not

Come

Here’s to the One
Who made the morning bright

Here’s to the One
Who taught the stars to shine

Here’s to the One
Who graced the dead of night

Pulled me from the dark
Set my heart alight

Here’s to the One
Who made my heart to sing

Opened up my eyes
Washed away my sin

Here’s to the One
Who gave His life for mine

Broke all my chains
And set me free alright

To the Way

To the Truth

To the life I live
In the light You give

Jesus here’s to Your Name
Over everything

Here’s to all the things
That Your love has done

Here’s to the way
You wiped away my past

Here’s to the future
And the things to come

Here’s to my Saviour’s
Everlasting love

To the Way

To the Truth

To the life I live
In the light You give

Jesus here’s to Your Name
Over everything

Here’s to Your kindness

Here’s to Your goodness

Here’s to Your freedom

Here’s to the day
I see You Jesus

Here’s to Your glory

Here’s to Your greatness

Here’s to Your kingdom

Here’s to the Name of Jesus

Jesus here’s to Your Name
Over everything

To the Way

To the Truth

To the life I live
In the light You give

Jesus here’s to Your Name
Over everything

Here’s to the Name of Jesus

Time moves in rhythm with His hand

Moment by moment

Beat by beat

Rolling through death

Both kick and snare

No rebel beat out skips His feats

And it might sound wild

But who on earth said our song should be tame

Let now the music chase His heart

Mercy by mercy

Note by note

We lost the pitch

He moved the score

Our wayward notes

His sweet resolve

And it might sound wild

But wild is why my heart sings

Oh sing His praise

Till the other side

'Cause our hope

Came all the way

Imagine heaven where we stand

Not just some distant promised land

More than some hopeful dying dream

Watch it wind up just as He said

And when it does we'll sing

Like we wished we'd known we should back then

And it might sound wild

But we don't have to wait till then

Oh sing His praise

Till the other side

'Cause our hope

Came all the way

Sing my soul

Sing His praise till the end of time

All the way

And all the louder then

La la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la

We'll be singing

La la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la

La la la la la la la la

Let it glorify

Magnify Your Name

Sing His praise till the end of time

All the way

Hold me now

In the hands that created the heavens

Find me now

Where the grace runs deep as Your scars

You pulled me from the clay

Set me on a rock

Called me by Your Name

And made my heart whole again

Lifted up

And my knees know if s all for Your glory

That I might stand

With more reasons to sing than to fear

You pulled me from the clay

Set me on a rock

Called me by Your Name

And made my heart whole again

Here I stand

High in surrender, I need You now

Hold my heart, now and forever my soul cries out

Hold my heart, now and forever my soul cries out

Once I was broken

But You loved my whole heart through

Sin has no hold on me

'Cause Your grace holds me now

And that grace

Owns the ground where the grave did

Where all my shame remains

Left for dead in Your wake

You crashed those age-old gates

You left no stone unturned

You stepped out of that grave

And shouldered me all the way

So here I stand

High in surrender I need You now

Hold my heart

Now and forever, my soul cries out

Once I was broken

But You loved my whole heart through

Sin has no hold on me

'Cause Your grace holds me now

Healed and forgiven

Look where my chains are now

Death has no hold on me

'Cause Your grace holds that ground

And Your grace holds me now

Your grace holds me now

Your grace holds me now
Your grace holds me now

Here I stand

High in surrender I need You now

Hold my heart

Now and forever my soul cries out

Here I stand

High in surrender
I need You now

Hold my heart

Now and forever
My soul cries out

Here I stand

High in surrender
I need You now

Hold my heart

Now and forever
My soul cries out

So here I stand

High in surrender
I need You now

Hold my heart

Now and forever
My soul cries out

Once I was broken

But You loved my whole heart through

Sin has no hold on me

'Cause Your grace holds me now

Healed and forgiven

Look where my chains are now

Death has no hold on me

'Cause Your grace holds that ground

Your grace holds me now

Your grace holds me now

Your grace holds me now
Your grace holds me now

Healed and forgiven

Look where my chains are now

Death has no hold on me

'Cause Your grace holds that ground

And Your grace holds me now
Your grace holds me now

I’ve been strong
And I’ve been broken within a moment

I’ve been faithful
And I’ve been reckless at every bend

I’ve held everything together
And watched it shatter

I’ve stood tall and I have crumbled
In the same breath

I have wrestled
And I have trembled toward surrender

Chased my heart adrift
And drifted home again

Plundered blessing
Till I’ve been desperate to find redemption

And every time I turn around
Lord You’re still there

I was found
Before I was lost

I was Yours
Before I was not

Grace to spare
For all my mistakes

And that part just wrecks me

And I know I don’t deserve this kind of love

Somehow this kind of love is who You are

It’s a grace I could never add up
To be somebody You still want

But somehow
You love me as You find me

Who am I
To think Your glory needs my praises

But if this borrowed breath is Yours Lord
Take it all

You are faithful and You are gracious
And I’m just grateful

To think You don’t need a single thing
And still You want my heart

I was found
Before I was lost

I was Yours
Before I was not

You wear the scars
For all my mistakes

And that part just wrecks me

And I know I don’t deserve this kind of love

Somehow this kind of love is who You are

It’s a grace I could never add up
To be somebody You still want

But somehow
You love me as You find me

You love me as You find me

You love me as You find me

You love me as You find me

Your love’s too good to leave me here

If You want my heart
I won’t second guess

‘Cause I need Your love
More than anything

I’m in
I’m Yours

Your love’s too good to leave me here

Your love’s too good to leave me

If You want my heart
I won’t second guess

‘Cause I need Your love
More than anything

I’m in
I’m Yours

Your love’s too good to leave me here

Your love’s too good to leave me

If You want my heart
I won’t second guess

‘Cause I need Your love
More than anything

I’m in
I’m Yours

Your love’s too good to leave me here

Your love’s too good to leave me

And I know I don’t deserve this kind of love

Somehow this kind of love is who You are

It’s a grace I could never add up
To be somebody You still want

But somehow
You love me as You find me

If You want my heart
I won’t second guess

‘Cause I need Your love
More than anything

I’m in
I’m Yours

Your love’s too good to leave me here

Your love’s too good to leave me

If You want my heart
I won’t second guess

‘Cause I need Your love
More than anything

I’m in
I’m Yours

Your love’s too good to leave me here

Your love’s too good to leave me

Precious blood
Has left me forgiven

Pure
Like the whitest of snow

Powerful to make sin
And shame retreat

This covenant is making me whole

So I will rise
And lift my head

For by His mercy
My life was spared

The highest Name
Has set me free

Because of Jesus
My heart is clean

Purify my heart
In Your presence

Teach me
To discover the joy

Of holiness that forms
As You draw me close

In You what was lost is restored

So I will rise
And lift my head

For by His mercy
My life was spared

The highest Name
Has set me free

Because of Jesus
My heart is clean

So I will rise
And lift my head

For by His mercy
My life was spared

The highest Name
Has set me free

Because of Jesus
My heart is clean

Because of Jesus
My heart is clean

My soul thirsts
For things I can’t explain

In my bones
A beckoning to pray

If my heart is a battleground
My defences run both ways

The flesh is a beggar
And thief

But there is a Spirit-man
Awakening me

When real life
And peace won’t make amends

When all these starts
Start feeling like these ends

Like the world is unravelling
And I’m bound to come undone

There is a Shepherd
A Priest

There is a Comforter
Who comforts me

And my soul finds rest

Where it makes no sense

There the blood sets me free

All my old regrets

All my brokenness

All my failures redeemed

And it feels like grace

Where I stacked my shame

There the cross stands for me

All the things I’ve done

All the times I’ve run

All my dead ends redeemed

And it looks like hope

Where my heart was broke

And His heart broke for me

Lay your burden down upon
Down upon Him

Lay your burden down

Lay your burden down upon
Down upon Him

Lay your burden down

Lay your burden down upon
Down upon Him

Lay your burden down

Lay your burden down upon
Down upon Him

Lay your burden down

Lay your burden down upon
Down upon Him

Lay your burden down

Lay your burden down upon
Down upon Him

Lay your burden down

Lay your burden down upon
Down upon Him

Lay your burden down

Lay your burden down upon
Down upon Him

Lay your burden down

Jesus my rest in peace

My reconciler

You’re my every good thing

I surrender all

All I’m living for

You’re my every good thing

You’re my amnesty

You’re my split wide sea

You’re my every good thing

All my days and nights

You’re my death to life

You’re the wonder I breathe

You’re my can’t explain

First and last refrain

You’re my every good thing

O how high would I climb mountains

If the mountains were where You hide

O how far I’d scale the valleys

If You graced the other side

O how long have I chased rivers

From lowly seas to where they rise

Against the rush of grace descending

From the source of its supply

Cause In the highlands and the heartache

You’re neither more or less inclined

I would search and stop at nothing

You’re just not that hard to find

I will praise You on the mountain

And I will praise You
When the mountain’s in my way

You’re the summit where my feet are

So I will praise You
In the valleys all the same

No less God within the shadows

No less faithful
When the night leads me astray

You’re the heaven where my heart is

In the highlands
And the heartache all the same

O how far beneath Your glory

Does Your kindness extend the path

From where Your feet rest on the sunrise

To where You sweep the sinner’s past

O how fast would You come running

If just to shadow me through the night

Trace my steps through all my failure

And walk me out the other side

For who could dare ascend that mountain

That valleyed hill called Calvary

But for the One I call Good Shepherd

Who like a lamb was slain for me

I will praise You on the mountain

I will praise You
\When the mountain’s in my way

You’re the summit where my feet are

So I will praise You
In the valleys all the same

No less God within the shadows

No less faithful
When the night leads me astray

You’re the heaven where my heart is

In the highlands
And the heartache all the same

Whatever I walk through
Wherever I am

Your Name can move mountains
Wherever I stand

And if ever I walk through
The valley of death

I’ll sing through the shadows
My song of ascent

Whatever I walk through
Wherever I am

Your Name can move mountains
Wherever I stand

And if ever I walk through
The valley of death

I’ll sing through the shadows
My song of ascent

My song of ascent

My song of ascent

From the gravest of all valleys

Come the pastures we call grace

A mighty river flowing upwards

From a deep but empty grave

So I will praise You on the mountain

And I will praise You
When the mountain’s in my way

You’re the summit where my feet are

So I will praise You
In the valleys all the same

No less God within the shadows

No less faithful
When the night leads me astray

You’re the heaven where my heart is

In the highlands and the heartache all the same

This is holy
This is holy ground

You are holy
You are holy God

This is holy
This is holy ground

You are holy
You are with me now

I wait upon You now
Lord I wait upon You now

Let Your presence fill me now

As I wait upon You now

This is holy
This is holy ground

You are holy
You are holy God

This is holy
This is holy ground

You are holy
You are with me now

My heart cries holy

My heart cries holy

This is holy
This is holy ground

My heart cries holy

You are holy
You are holy God

Oh Jesus

This is holy
This is holy ground

You are holy
You are with me now

I wait upon You now

Lord I wait upon You now

Come on
Lets wait upon him

There’s a grace
when the heart is under fire

Another way
When the walls are closing in

And when I look at the space between

Where I used to be and this reckoning

I know I will never be alone

There was another in the fire

Standing next to me

There was another in the waters

Holding back the seas

And should I ever need reminding

Of how I’ve been set free

There is a cross that bears the burden

Where another died for me

There is another in the fire

All my debt left
For dead beneath the waters

I’m no longer a slave
To my sin anymore

And should I fall in the space between

What remains of me and this reckoning

Either way I won’t bow
To the things of this world

And I know I will never be alone

There is another in the fire

Standing next to me

There is another in the waters

Holding back the seas

And should I ever need reminding

What power set me free

There is a grave that holds no body

And now that power lives in me

There is another in the fire

There is another in the fire

There is another in the fire

There is another in the fire

And I can see the light in the darkness

As the darkness bows to Him

I can hear the roar in the heavens

As the space between wears thin

I can feel the ground shake beneath us

As the prison walls cave in

Nothing stands between us
Nothing stands between us

There is no other name
But the Name that is Jesus

He who was and still is
And will be through it all

So come what may in the space between

All the things unseen and this reckoning

I know I will never be alone

I know I will never be alone

There’ll be another in the fire

Standing next to me

There’ll be another in the waters

Holding back the seas

And should I ever need reminding

How good You’ve been to me

I’ll count the joy come every battle

‘Cause I know that’s where You’ll be

And I can see the light in the darkness

As the darkness bows to Him

I can hear the roar in the heavens

As the space between wears thin

I can feel the ground shake beneath us

As the prison walls cave in

Nothing stands between us
Nothing stands between us

Even if he doesn't
I will praise Him

Even if he doesn't
I'll stand tall

Even if he doesn't
I'll praise Him

Even if he doesn't

Even if he doesn't

I'm not bowing to this world

Even if he doesn't

I ain't changing my confession or
my belief or who I believe in

Even if he doesn't

Oh I'm gonna sing louder then ever

I'm stand longer then ever

I can see the light

I can see the light in the darkness

As the darkness bows to Him

I can hear the roar in the heavens

As the space between wears thin

I can feel the ground shake beneath us

As the prison walls cave in

Nothing stands between us
Nothing stands between us

There’ll be another in the fire

Standing next to me

There’ll be another in the waters

Holding back the seas

And should I ever need reminding

How good You’ve been to me

I’ll count the joy come every battle

‘Cause I know that’s where You’ll be

I’ll count the joy come every battle

‘Cause I know that’s where You’ll be

I’ll count the joy come every battle

‘Cause I know that’s where You’ll be

I’ll count the joy come every battle

‘Cause I know that’s where You’ll be

I’ll count the joy come every battle

‘Cause I know that’s where You’ll be
