MY LIFE'S SPARED
The Pain of Your Death
Was shown on the cross
Why did it have to be that way?
Perfect You did live
But suffered as though
You did a vicious crime
Even though You were just sublime
Jesus, Thanks for the cross
Thanks for the Blood
Jesus
Upon the cross You cared
Enough to mean my life's spared
The blood that was spilt
From your precious hands
Was done so that you should save our lives
The nails in Your hands
The spear in Your side
So much pain for me
Is that how it had to be?
PICK ME UP
You pick me up, You make me whole again,
And I want to thank You, I want to thank You
You lift me up, You make me whole again
And I want to thank You, Lord
I was alone, and I was down,
But You came and rescued me
You picked me up, and You showed me Your love,
And how my life should be
And I want to thank You,
I want to praise your name.
My life, You shall own, I will give it to you
I will need your guiding light.
You know the way, the way I should go
Can You now give me the sight?
To go the right way,
The way that is led by You
I want to live my life to the full
But to do it all for You.
Cos You gave me life, from the very first breath
To do what I can do.
And I want to thank you,
I want to praise Your name
SUNDAY BEST
Put on your Sunday Best and Smile
But is that the real you?
Put on your Sunday Best and Smile
Are you showing us what is true?
Put on your Sunday Best and Smile
Are you living in Gods way?
Put on your Sunday Best and Smile
But it aint for just one day!
Saturday night was fun,
From the moment that it began
But that was last night, and its time for the holy day.
So you put on your Sunday best
To fit in with all the rest
And with a smile upon your face
Its as if your life is ace!
So you swore a lot at work
And you called your boss a jerk.
But that was OK, cos he made you really mad!
Everyones like that right,
Those sins are only light
And now that Sunday is here
Its time for that Christian cheer!
BRIDGE
Tell the people about Gods love
Its what they need to here
Dont put a mask on for one day,
Cos your mind, it cant be clear.
Sunday best covers you up
It means you are a fake
So live like Jesus every day
Not one, for goodness sake!

I KNOW
I know what you’re thinking of me
I know what you really want to see
I know how you want me to live my life.
I know what you want me to do
I know what I’m going to go through
But can I take the strife?
I am free by You
I believe it’s true
It was done by One
It excludes none.
I know what you’re going to think
I know that you’ve made the right link
I know that you don’t think bad of me.
I know that it didn’t look good
And I know that it’s covered in blood
To mean that I am free
I am free today
What I’m taught to say
I’m walking with You
I’m walking with You
I know all about Your call
I know that you wont let me fall
I know that I’ve got to walk out with trust
I know how its all meant to be
And I know at the end what I’ll see
I know I believe it will be You
I am free by You
I believe it’s true
It was done by One
It excludes none
I am free today
What I’m taught to say
I’m walking with You
I’m walking with You
NOT THERE
When the music fades away,
But the pain is still there.
And you’re standing all alone
And no-one round will care.
CHORUS
They don’t really know you
They don’t really care.
You think that they might love you
But to them, you’re just not there.
You treat them as an idol
You like to copy their hair.
You track their every movement
They’ve got you in their lair.
Each one is like a hero
But what do they achieve.
You think that they might notice
You’ve got to still believe.
I LOVE YOU
I’m getting so frustrated, what’s the point in going on?
I’m running out of patience, All I try is going wrong.
I ask this constant question, “Why is it so hard?”
I try my very best, but they want that extra yard.
CHORUS
But you are there, You’re by my side.
I’ve clung to you, each time that I’ve cried.
You hold my hand, You’ll pull me through,
And that is why I love you.
Life is so mixed up, my morals out the door.
When you take a little bit, it should be a little more.
Should I stay and suffer, should I run away?
Dreading every moment, of ever single day.
I’m finding it so hard to live as I really need
When every single task done, is like a dishonest deed.
It’s cutting right through my soul, like a knife in melted spread.
And why do I feel so down, that I might as well be dead.
BRIDGE
It’s crushing my soul
It’s leaving a hole.
Please come fill me up
Come pour in my cup
Please give me your wine,
The wine so divine.
Only you can lead me through.
Convinced
