Come Now Our King lyrics - Chris August

Bethlehem turns in tonight
A town led up by candle lights
All the children tucked in tight
Bethlehem turns in tonight

The Angels start their whispering
About the one they're welcoming
No one knows what's soon to be
Angels start their whispering

[Chorus:]
They sing glory
In the highest
Come now our king
We've been
Waiting
Come now our king

Silence falls
Yet once again
Shepherds leave for Bethlehem
Baby's cry soon welcomes them
Silence falls yet once again

[Chorus:]
They sing glory
In the highest
Come now our king
We've been
Waiting
Come now our king

Glory oh glory
You came here to save
Oh Lord we've been waiting so
Come now our king

Now my night has turned to day
An empty manger, empty grave
Baby born so I could say
Now my night has turned to day

[Chorus:]
Oh oh
We sing glory
In the highest
Come now our king
We've been
Waiting
Come now our king
Oh oh
Come now our king

Jesus, Savior lyrics - Chris August

Once upon a time,
In a town called Nazareth,
Lived an ordinary girl.

Mary was her name,
And she was engaged,
To Joseph the carpenter.

Suddenly an angel came,
Said, "You will have a baby boy.
But don't be afraid,
God is with you.

Just call him Jesus, Savior,
Son of God, the King of Kings."
Our salvation has a name.

Jesus, Savior,
Precious Lord of Everything.
Our whole world's about to change,

Mary was confused.
And Joseph was too,
He thought, "How could this be?

Cause we're not married yet.
And even if this is some miracle,
Why would He choose you and me?"

Then in a dream an angel came,
Said, "Joseph you should marry Mary.
Don't be afraid, this child's the very Son of God.

He is Jesus, Savior,
Son of God, the King of Kings."
Our salvation has a name.

Jesus, Savior,
Precious Lord of Everything.
Our whole world's about to change,

And it will never be the same.

Glory to God, Peace on Earth.
Glory to God, Peace on Earth.
Glory to God,
He came to save the world.

Jesus, Savior,
Son of God, the King of Kings.
Our salvation has a name.

It is Jesus, Savior,
Precious Lord of Everything.
Our whole world's about to change,

It will never be the same.
Our whole world's about to change.

I'll Be Home For Christmas lyrics - Chris August

I'll be home for Christmas

I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree

Christmas eve will find you
Where the love light beams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
I'll be home for Christmas

Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light beams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

I hear the sleigh bells ringing
and the children singing
You know I'm coming home

I hear the sleigh bells ringing
And the children singing
You know I'm coming home

And ooh I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

I'll be home
Imma be home for Christmas

I'll be home
Imma be home For Christmas

I'll be home
Imma be home for Christmas

I'll be home
Imma be home for Christmas

Ooh I can't wait to see
All of my friends and family
This Christmas
I'll be home for Christmas

Ooh I can't wait to see
All of my friends and family
This Christmas

O Holy Night lyrics - Chris August

Oh Holy night
The stars are brightly shining
It is the night of our dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Till He apeared and the soul felt it's worth
A thrill of hope
The weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn

Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angels voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night, oh night divine

Truly He taught us to love one another
His law is love and His gospel is peace
Chains shall He break for the slave is our brother
And in His name all oppression shall cease
Sweet hymns of joy in grateful raise we
Let all within us praise His Holy name

Fall on your knees
Oh hear the angels voices
Oh night divine
Oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine
Oh night divine

Tell Me What You Want For Christmas lyrics - Chris August

I'm so excited
To open the box
It's that time of year now
Ready or not
I slip on the red coat
I glue on the beard
I stuff in some pillows
And there's a line outside sears

My fulltime gig is singing songs
But once a year I've got my side job
So come and sit on my lap
Tell me what you want for Christmas
If you were good and not bad
Tell me what you want for Christmas

A pogo stick, a princess dress
A puppy dog or a Lego set
Before the camera goes snap
Tell me what you want for Christmas

I know what you're thinking
Saint Nick is a fraude
He can't fit down that chimney
With that big belly he's got
And what about Rudolph
And his shiny red nose
And how do you explain all those elfs
Making toys and clothes
You're never too old to believe
So write up your wish and just
Bring it to me

Come and sit on my lap
And tell me what you want for Christmas
Something you've never had
Tell me what you want for Christmas

A giftcard to Golf Galaxy
Or maybe Anthropologie
Anything but cash
Tell me what you want for Christmas
Christmas

One time this kid said:
"That's not Santa, it's Chris"
I said: "Well Santa gets busy this time of year
and he asked me to do this"
So come and sit on my lap
I'm doing Santa's business
Whatcha think about that
Just tell me what you want for Christmas

A saxophone, a trampoline
That brand new Chris August CD
But you already have that
So tell me what you want for Christmas

I know what I want
I want some Chick-fil-a
I want a nice turtle neck sweater
And I want the Dallas Cowboys to win the Superbowl
And that's all I need
And this thermos
And that's all
Hey, there goes Rudolph
Hey, turn your nose on
Merry Christmas
I'm gonna sleep under the Christmas Tree

"The Upside Of Down" (2012)

Center Of It lyrics - Chris August

[VERSE 1]
Some days, I'm feelin' like I
Can't win, can't get it right and
Don't matter how hard I try,
Today is not my day

When it feels like I'm going crazy,
And it looks like nothing's changing,
Come sun, come rainy day,
You are still the same

[CHORUS]
In the dark, in the light,
In the morning and night
In the good, in the hurt,
In the places I hide

When I rise, when I fall,
You'll be there through it all
At the start, at the end,
In the center of, the center of it

[VERSE 2]
Some nights, I lay awake and I
Can't push these thoughts away
I'm worried where I'm gonna go,
Where I'm gonna be, are You gonna
Be there for me?
When it feels like the doors are closin',
Gotta trust that you're doin' somethin'
Come sun, come rainy day,
You are all I need

[CHORUS]
In the dark, in the light,
In the morning and night
In the good, in the hurt,
In the places I hide

When I rise, when I fall,
You'll be there through it all
At the start, at the end
In the center of, the center of it

[BRIDGE]
There will be days I will forget
Everything you've done for me
But when I go back there again,
I'm reminded...

In the dark, In the light,
In the morning and the night...

[CHORUS]
In the dark, in the light,
In the morning and night
In the good, in the hurt,
In the places I hide

When I rise, when I fall,
You'll be there through it all
At the start, at the end
In the center of, the center of it

Yeah, yeah
Oh, the center of it all
Ooohhh, the center of it all

In the loss, in the win,
In the beauty and the sin,
At the start, at the end,
In the center of, the center of it

The Upside Of Down lyrics - Chris August

The downside of being up is my inside is empty of
The one thing my heart truly needs
When I feel invincible a million miles from miserable
It's always all about me

I don't know why I don't love You like I should, like You would
Through bad and good oh

[Chorus:]
Funny how we figure out where happiness is found
In the midst of this sadness I'm closer to You now
And that’s the upside of down, the upside of down
It’s all switched around, I lost and I found
The upside of down

You are more in my less, You are strength in my weakness
I'll never go back again
And then Your sunshine ends the rain and I return to my old ways
Why am I a fair weather friend?

I wanna be the one to love You like I should, like You would
Through the bad and good oh

Funny how we figure out where happiness is found
In the midst of this sadness I'm closer to You now

That’s the upside of tragedies knowing You're holding my heart always, always
I may be down but I'm finding there's joy in the pain, in the pain

Funny how we figure out where happiness is found
In the midst of this sadness I'm closer, I’m closer to You now and oh

[Chorus]

The upside of down
It’s all switched around, I lost and I found
The upside of down

Amen lyrics - Chris August

This world is full of people
The weary and the poor
Waiting for the day
When they will hurt no more
Though this world is full of suffering
These promises are true
We hold on to the hope
That the day is coming soon

So Amen, amen and the people said amen
The troubles of this world
they’re comin' to an end
And all my brothers and my sisters
let me hear it again
The kingdom is comin'
and the people said amen

This world is full of struggles
We're all trying to break free
We fall back to the same things
Cause addiction's our disease
But I'm telling you there's someone
Who will set your spirit free
His name is Jesus
And His blood redeems

Give me more than just religion
Cause it feels like something's missin
That heaven and earth collision
Amen, amen
Lift a hand if you believe it
And if ya feel it then help me sing it
If ya know that ya need it
Then ya know that ya need it
So amen, amen and the people said
Amen

This Side Of Heaven lyrics - Chris August

Everyone’s got their own opinions
There’s nothing they don't know about
But in the end nobody's winning
'Cause nobody's got it figured out

[Chorus:]
Oh the things we think we know
But honestly we really don’t
This side of heaven
Save the worry, stop the hate
It doesn't matter anyway
This side of heaven

You can make your own decision
You can write it on a sign
But when it feels like something’s missing
Listen up and I'll tell you why

[Chorus]

I remember how He showed me
Love is first above all
And that judgment should come slowly
'Cause we all have our faults

Restore lyrics - Chris August

Nobody's growing old together, we've made it easy just to quit
Love has become a negative percentage, why do we bother to commit
We've got a long list of excuses, ways we try to justify
Well, I propose to you the truth is, marriage does not have to die

[Chorus:]
I know you're feeling like it’s falling apart and it can't go on anymore
But God is a God who knows how to heal so just give it up to the Lord
And He will restore

He said with this ring I promise, and with I do she said forever
But right now if they're being honest they don't know if they'll stay together
Let's fast forward to the future after struggling on their own
They finally figured out they needed Jesus in the middle
Now I'm watching God rebuild their home

[Chorus]

The enemy tries to come and divide
Trying to get us to give up the fight
But darkness will always lose out to light
'Cause we've got the power of Christ on our side

I see you growing old together
I pray I find a love like yours

So if you're feeling like it’s falling apart and it can't go on anymore
God is a God who knows how to heal so just give it up to the Lord
And He will restore

Like it was before
You may have strayed off course
But He will restore

Let There Be Light lyrics - Chris August

I'm tired of secret keeping, livin’ in the dark
I'm ready to say the words You were speaking back at the start
Come and flood the corners of my heart

[Chorus:]
I say let there be light, I need mercy tonight
Wanna feel it like the sun is rising
Revealing what the shadow’s hiding
I say let there be light, I need Your mercy to shine
Start living what I've been believing
What I got I want the whole world seein’
Let there be light

I'm feeling something happening, I'm finding hope again
It feels like the walls are finally cracking and Your love is pouring in
I'm seeing this is good just like You did

[Chorus]

I was scared of what the shame would do
If I started coming clean to You
But suddenly it's darkness that's afraid

I say let there be light, I need Your mercy tonight
Wanna feel it like the sun is rising
Revealing what the shadow’s hiding
I say let there be light, I need Your mercy to shine
Start living what I've been believing
What I got I want the whole world seein’
I’m tired of secret keeping
So let there be light, let there be light

I’m tired of secret keeping
Let there be light

I Believe lyrics - Chris August

I don't need a rainbow to know who made the rain
Don't need the waters parted to know who made the way
And I don't need a healing to know who is the cure
Of this I'm sure

[Chorus:]
I believe that there is something more than I can see
I believe that there is someone holding onto me
Sometimes I won't feel it, but that don't change a thing
'Cause it's by faith that I believe

If you had some heartache that made you cry a thousand tears
Then let me tell you now I know just how you feel
And that heavy weight of sorrow that you've carried for so long
Will soon be gone

'Cause I believe that there is something more than I can see
I believe that there is someone holding onto me
Sometimes I won't feel it, but that don't change a thing
'Cause it's by faith that I believe

You might see a miracle and give praises to the Lord
Don’t let a touch from heaven be the thing you're waiting for
Blessed are those who don't see but still believe, do you believe?

I believe that there is something more than I can see
I believe that the arms of Jesus are holding onto me
Sometimes I won't feel it, but that don't change a thing
Cause it's by faith that I believe
I believe, I believe

1989 lyrics - Chris August

Summer day 7 years old and I took a ride on my bicycle
I can still feel my face against the wind
A backpack full of my favorite toys
Singing songs just to make some noise
Is a good way for a day to begin

I remember when life was simple way back then
Now I'm trying to see through those eyes again, through those eyes

[Chorus:]
If I could turn back time I'd go to 1989
Where every day was full of chasin’ dreams
Yeah I may be grown up but maybe I should try
Livin’ like it’s 1989

Deep inside this Texas heart there’s an innocence underneath the scars
Waiting to be called outside to play
Wanna feel like a wide eyed kid, wanna put it all back into perspective
God You're great just because You're great

It is so uncomplicated with You here, with You here
You make the person that I once was reappear, You reverse the years

[Chorus]

I'm sorry that I made it something complicated
I am ready now it’s not too late
Everyday I'm learning it's all about returning
I'm living my life with child-like faith
I'm sorry that I made it something complicated
I am ready now it’s not too late
Everyday I'm learning it's all about returning
I'm living my life like I could

Turn back time and go to 1989
Where every day was full of chasin’ dreams
Yeah I may be grown up but maybe I should try
Livin’ like it’s 1989
I’m livin’ like it’s 1989

Unashamed Of You lyrics - Chris August

I'm really good at dancin’, dancin’ round the point
What's the point of dancing just so people like me
I've wasted chances to speak up and make some noise
Why do I let these moments pass me by
Everybody ought to know

I will sing about Your love, I will shout it to the sky
I will tell of what You've done, when the people ask me why
I live my life this way I'll say that I am unashamed of You

I feel like a preacher, I've got something to say
I'm treating right now like it’s now or never
I could talk about the weather, could talk about nothing all day
I'd rather talk about what lasts forever
Everybody needs to know that

I will sing about Your love, I will shout it to the sky
I will tell of what You've done, when the people ask me why
I live my life this way I'll say that I am unashamed of

The gospel, the cross, the good news for the lost
The blood that spilled down Calvary's Hill
For what Your grace did and what Your grace does
Oh I am unashamed of Your name, Jesus

I will sing about Your love, I will shout it to the sky
I will tell of what You've done and when the people ask me why
I live my life this way I won't deny that I've been changed
I’ll point them to the one who saves, I'll say that I am unashamed of You
Unashamed of You

The Gospel and the cross, there’s some good news for the lost
His name is Jesus

We lift our hands to you, I lift my hands to you
