G Bring me back to the beginning C You and I, what's yours is mine Em Erase my sin, the fear, the memories C Restorer: Restore me Valleys slowly devolve to a dead pulse I've lost you; I've lost all hope Suicide's no longer interesting Sex is a distraction I see no point in praying D C Here at the end of me G What have I been doing? I can't say that I want you to find me In the middle of this mess and hurting (chorus) G C Anxiety turns to fear turns to death Em C Panic and terror; heart filled with dread G Chasing safety but C My safe places have all been broken into Em I impress another stranger C To throw myself upon Here looking over my shoulder Did you bring me out here to die? I'm Elijah on the run I'm Jonah in the sun And I've no strength left to go on (Chorus) D C G You're the only one who turns the old to new The only one to wash away the things I've done Knowing fully, only you can heal these bones Only you can raise a garden From the ashes of this ruin //G This is what you do: D You make the old, new Em C You take the tired and you renew This is what you do You take the broken and heal You take the sick and make them well You take the abused and make them whole This is what you do: You embrace the orphan You hold the hand of the anxious The humbled and scattered you use// //D C You restore, rebuild G You renew// D Please come renew (Chorus)

The Rest 03:47
Em C G D Father, Founder Keeper of my heart Provider, protector Safe passage and true North Adopter, Rescuer in the dark Storm-calmer, wave-walker You are my spark and hearth My heart has found no rest But the rest I find in You Pursuer, forgiver Restorer of my heart Renewer and healer Saviour and salve Giver and guard and guide Source of my every good Planner and leader, prayer-answerer Plumb-line and cornerstone My heart has found no rest But the rest I find in You Am I have fled G I have run D I have lost Am I have sinned G I have hurt D I've seen joy I have given up Am G D And I have closed off myself Am G D I have shut down My heart has found no rest But the rest I find in You Am And I have wandered far C I've seen too much G D Walked deserts and jungles and mountains Am I've seen miracles C Met movie stars G D I've been on top and I've fallen hard My heart has found no home But the home I have in You My heart has found no rest But the rest I find in You

Cold 05:32
Cold (Duro) Am G It’s cold…inside I’ve seen things I’ve lost my way Am I don’t know to pray G I don’t know to change F C G Oh I know that I need You F C But I’m afraid that the man G I’ve been lately Am Is who I am F C Come take this mess Em G I don’t know--how to escape F Em All the lies and the addictions Am Inside my heart G Am I know that this was my choice G F And I know that I so want to change C Save me Em Am F I’ve got nowhere left to turn C Em I know that you’re here Am F But you feel so—far away C Come in close Em Come take it all Am I want be Yours It’s cold inside I’ve tried to do the right thing But if I’m honest I don’t believe That I’m in need F C I don’t know how to pray G I’ve lost all feeling F C Help me, I can’t see. G Where are you now? F C Come take my life Em G I don’t know—how to escape F Em My false intentions, my many masks Am The lies and pride G Am I know what I need to do G And I feel so empty without You Save me I’ve got nowhere left to turn I know that You’re here But you feel so—far away C Come down to me Em Come take it all Am F Rescue me from myself C Because I want to Em I want to Am F Be yours

Who am I 03:48
C Am F G Who am I That you notice me I am nothing But still you love me Who am I That you notice me I am weak But you are strong Who am I That you notice me I have fallen Back into the mud Who am I That you look after me I'm not worth your time I'm lost F Am Hold me close F G Your love has found me again F Am Clean me up F G I may be nothing, but I want to be yours Who am I That you notice me You are Holy How can I get close?

If I am Poured Out Asus Bsus If I am poured out like water C#m Let something grow E Where I fall And if I am lost To the briars. Oh Lord Please come and cut me out If I lose my hope and focus Chide and guide Get me back on track If I start to lose my mind Calm the sea Of my emotions If I am stretched thin like wire O then let me be a bridge I don't mind if I'm the one passed over Or stepped on along the way If you brought me out here as fuel Don't feel you must provide some other ram If you brought me out here as seed Give me the peace and grace to be scattered F#m G#m You know I don't need much Asus Give me the humility Bsus To calmly play my part Companionship and hope A pillow on the road C#m Asus I know you won't leave me wanting C#m What's from you? Asus Just help me know And if I am consumed by fire Let them see Your light and warmth And if all of this ends Before my dreams see day I know your dreams are better
7.
G We are lepers C We are the unclean Hopeless sinners And we are free We are the hypocrites And we know better We are sword and fist When we should be forgiveness D C G No outsiders or others here No status, class, or power games None righteous, slave, or free Am Just one body C D Christ in all, Christ is all We are other Called to change We are outsiders In but not of You are alchemist Spinning gold from clay The only other The Logos word (Chorus) You are the Father The bridegroom come We take your name Erase our own You are the Kingdom You are the vine You are the singer You are love Am You are singer C We are your song You are the lost melody Of our hearts Strike a chord Make us one Melt us down Mould us into love—make us love G We want to love like You are love Make us love and make us one Am We want to love like You are love You are love, there is no othe

Give me a Heart for Worship E Give me a heart for worship God A Give me a heart that sings I want to overflow with love And see you as my king And Father-friend You have loved me scandalously Spending far too much Not counting any cost Give me a heart for worship God Give me a good memory You're always on the move and You've done so much for me Lead me when my faith was small Provided when there wasn't money I've always had just enough When I'm following C#m Give me a heart for worship God A Give me eyes that see You for who you are And what it is you're doing Spirit come and fill my lungs Stoke my life to flame We are all leaves in the fire Soon to float away C#m So give me a heart for worship God Bsus Give me the voice to sing Asus Straight and simple thankfulness Retelling all your stories C#m Lead me to the place Bsus Where you are my one song Asus Let me be--lost in your love

G Here I am Em I will go C Am C D Whatever the cost, whatever the call C D G Where you lead me I will go G You called me when a stranger Em You caught me quite off guard C A love so overwhelming D A hope sparked in my heart A purpose that you gave me You showed me how to love If there's a need, if you can use me Let me go--I don't care how far Here I am I will go Whatever the cost, whatever the call Where you lead me I will go G Take my hand Em Take my fear C D I heard you say you would be there C D And that's where I want to be G I will go Sometimes the hardest call Is to walk across the street To love our neighbors as ourselves Sometimes the hardest of all Is to turn from sin and learn To forgive ourselves Am C So break my routine and apathy Show me what a life of repentance means Em D I don't want to be cold Teach me to see Your image deep In everyone I meet And heal me from my iniquities (Chorus)

Kate's Baptism Song A E F#m D I will go down I'll go under the waves Take my sin and shame Wash it all away I will go down I will die with You I leave my sin and my fear I give myself away I will die with You I'll take up my cross I will follow You And deny myself I will go down Take my fear and my pride Wash away the old man Bring me to life And You will raise me up You will wash me clean The old is gone The new has come And You will raise me up You will strengthen and renew And when I die I will rise with You I will go down I will die with You You will raise me up I am Yours, I'll go with You I will go down I'll go under the waves And as waters break I am born anew
