Abide In Me lyrics - Chris August

Abide in me, abide in me
Send Your Holy Spirit, come and abide in me
Whatever it takes, create in me the space
Make my heart a place designed for Thee
Lord, come and abide in me

Abide in me, abide in me
Spirit of truth, come and abide in me
You came to compensate, now the price has all been paid
With the life You freely gave at Calvary
Lord, come and abide in me

Seas could be raging but I'll overcome
And wars could be waging but I'll overcome
No, I won't be shaken if I know You're the one
That's turned my heart into Your home

Into Your home
Lord, I give up
I'm giving You the space
I'm breaking down the walls
And calling this Your place
I confess I've been living for the world
Take it all away
I just need You to come, Jesus
Come, Jesus

Abide in me, abide in me
Without You I have nothing, come and abide in me
Come and restore what You made me for
You waited at the door now here's the key
Come and abide in me

Seas could be raging but I'll overcome
And wars could be waging but I'll overcome
No, I won't be shaken if I know You're the one
That's turned my heart into Your home

Raise me from my grave, Lord, break the stone
I'm giving You my heart to call Your own
Come and abide in me

Available lyrics - Chris August

Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa

What are the reasons you feel I'm qualified?
What are your deepest fears that hold you tight?
Don't wait, hesitate, take a step in faith
Even if it's out on a limb
Just remember we're called to be light

He doesn't need the powerful
He doesn't need the beautiful
He doesn't need the capable
But He'll use the available
He'll give you the words to speak
He'll give you the strength when you are weak
He'll do the incredible
And He'll use the available

Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa
Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, oh-whoa

He calls the unlikely, the ones like you and me
And He'll use the willing to be His hands and feet, oh no
Just don't wait, hesitate, take a step in faith
Even if it's out on a limb
He calls the unlikely, the ones like you and me

He doesn't need the powerful
He doesn't need the beautiful
He doesn't need the capable
But He'll use the available
He'll give you the words to speak
He'll give you the strength when you are weak
He'll do the incredible
And He'll use the available

Who gives a man his mouth and words to speak?
Who lights his way and gives eyes to see?
His power is made perfect in the weak

Don't wait, hesitate, take a step in faith
Even if it's out on a limb

He doesn't need the powerful
He doesn't need the beautiful
He doesn't need the capable
But He'll use the available
(So God I'm making myself available)
Just say the word and I'll speak
And be my strength when I am weak
You are incredible
And I am available

Listen
Have you looked in God's word?
Take a look at the people He chose
It wasn't always the strongest
Or the ones with the most gifts
But it was the ones willing to do His work
The ones that made themselves available, yeah
Whoa-oh, oh-oh
Whoa-oh, oh-oh

Gave You My Heart lyrics - Chris August

I'm tired of feelin' like
I'm a million miles away
From where I began
(Whoa-whoa-oh)
Doin' my best to keep up
Sure, I had good intentions
But I got lost along the way

I don't wanna waste any more of my life
Lookin' to the left, lookin' to the right
So now I'm comin' back to you

Consume me with your love
Set my heart on fire
I lay down everything I've been holdin'
(Everything I've been holdin')
I'll give it all away
You're all I desire
Take me back to the place
Where we started

When I gave you my heart
I gave you my heart

I remember fifteen
And the bus ride to the camp
Where I gave you my life
(Where I gave you my life)
And even though yesterday
Seems so far away
I know you're still by my side
(You're still by my side)

I don't wanna waste any more time
Lookin' to the left, lookin' to the right
And now I'm comin' back to you

Consume me with your love
Set my heart on fire
I lay down everything I've been holdin'
(Everything I've been holdin')
I'll give it all away
You're all I desire
Take me back to the place
Where we started

When I gave you my heart
I gave you my heart

Whoa-oh-oh
I was a blind man
Left by the wayside
Mercy came walkin' us off
For the first time
When I tasted grace
Like I did that day
I ran to the Father
And I gave it all away
I gave you my heart

(Consume me with your love)
All I wanna do is
(Set my heart on fire)
Be consumed by your
(I lay down everything I've been holdin')
I'm layin' down
Everything that
(I'll give it all away)
I'll give it all away
(You're all I desire)
(Take me back to the place)
[?] take my back to the place
(Where we started)
Where I gave you my heart

Consume me with your love
Set my heart on fire
I lay down everything I've been holdin'
(Everything I've been holdin')
(Where I gave you my heart)
I'll give it all away
You're all I desire
Take me back to the place
Where we started

When I gave you my heart
That's when I gave you my heart

Now, I'm comin' back to you
Now, I'm comin' back to the place
That I gave you my heart

Ghost lyrics - Chris August

I was in the corner of a crowded room
Taking up space like the living do
In the light of day, I'm waiting in the dark
For someone like you to see my heart

All I wanna know is
How'd you even find me?
When no one ever noticed before
All I've ever felt is
The spirit of the lonely
Guess I'm not a ghost anymore

Used to walk through the world, a drop in the ocean
Slip through the cracks without even knowing
Yet, God only knows how I caught your eye
But you brought me back to life

All I wanna know is
How'd you even find me?
When no one ever noticed before
All I've ever felt is
The spirit of the lonely
Guess I'm not a ghost anymore

I was haunted, now I'm human
All it took was you believing
Here we are

All I wanna know is
How'd you even find me?
When no one ever noticed before
All I've ever felt is
The spirit of the lonely
Guess I'm not a ghost anymore

God Whispered Your Name lyrics - Chris August

I was so cold and lost
And nothing seemed to ring true
I couldn't bear the cross
For everything I'd been through
And each day, I knew I needed change
But there was no way, no way

And then God whispered your name
And that's when everything changed
And love came out of the rain
And talk about being saved
Suddenly I wanna live
More than I ever did
I'm never gonna be the same
When God whispered your name

I can see the sunshine
For the first time in a while
Girl, it's like I've been baptized
By the warmth of your smile
Call it fate or faith or call it crazy either way
It's amazin', amazin' grace

When God whispered your name
That's when everything changed
Love came out of the rain
Talk about being saved
Suddenly I wanna live
More than I ever did
I'm never gonna be the same
When God whispered your name

Was just what I needed to hear, baby
Could not have been more loud and clear

When God whispered your name
That's when everything changed
Love came out of the rain (Out of the rain)
And talk about being saved
Suddenly I wanna live
More than I ever did
I'm never gonna be the same
When God whispered your name, oh yeah

(Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah)
Ooh God
(Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah)

Here Is Our Christ lyrics - Chris August

There's a star up in the Western sky
It hangs above our only hope for life
A baby born to be the saving Christ
There is a star up in the Western sky

Saying, "Come, your Lord is here"

Written lifetimes ago
Saying You would arrive
Now You’re here to fill what that prophesied
The Creator and the Maker
Somehow sleeping in a manger
Was written on paper
Now here is our Christ

There's a baby sleeping down the road
Wrapped up inside where the shepherds go
One day He will take what the world was owed
There is a baby sleeping down the road

Come, Lord Jesus, come

Written lifetimes ago
Saying You would arrive
Now You're here to fill what that prophesied
The Creator and the Maker
Somehow sleeping in a manger
Was written on paper
Now here is our Christ

No room for a baby
We pushed You away
Now all these years later
And not much has changed
But Lord there is mercy
Because what You’ve done
And there in that stable
Is how it begun

Written lifetimes ago (Lifetimes ago)
Saying You would arrive
Now You're here to fill what that prophesied
The Creator and the Maker
Somehow sleeping in a manger
Was written on paper
Now here is our Christ
Written lifetimes ago
Saying You would arrive
Now You're here to fill what that prophesied
The Creator and the Maker
Somehow sleeping in a manger
Was written on paper
Now here is our Christ

Here is our Savior
Here is our Christ

Hotel Bible lyrics - Chris August

At the Holiday Inn there's a book in the drawer
With a note that says read me to know of the Lord
But that dust on the cover
Tells me it ain't been opened in years

I shake my head cause isn't it ironic
It's a lot like my heart if I'm being honest
Just seeing it hiding there
Well, that's bout to bring me to tears
Oh, and I know

Just what I need Lord I'm re-dedicatin'
My life so I find those red letters and pray em
You lead the way through the pages
And make this revival
With a hotel bible

70 rooms filled with travelers and maids
Check in leave your bags and just go bout your day
But it seems like the Lord's got something more for me

That dust from the book and that dust on my knees
Fall down to the ground and I say I believe that

You're what I need Lord I'm re-dedicatin'
My life so I find those red letters and pray em
You lead the way through the pages
And make this revival
With a hotel bible

Oh, if this room had an aisle
I'd walk down and pray out
Still holding this bible cause I know

Just what I need Lord I'm re-dedicatin'
My life so I find those red letters and pray em
You lead the way through the pages
And make this revival
You lead the way through the pages
And make this revival
With a hotel bible
With a hotel bible

It Must Be Christmas Time lyrics - Chris August

Gather round the ole fireside
Set your hearts aglow
String the lights up on the tree
Hang the mistletoe

Silver bells, o holy night
Angels we have heard on high
All is calm, all is bright
It must be Christmas time

Stockings up there on the mantle
Youngest to the old
Gathered together
Couldn't get it any better
Everybody's home

Silver bells, o holy night
Angels we have heard on high
All is calm, all is bright
It must be Christmas time

A time to show love
A time to give grace
Nothing like the holidays

Silver bells, o holy night
Angels we have heard on high
All is calm, all is bright
It must be Christmas time

Kids fast alseep
All full of dreams
Middle of the night
A noise on the roof
You know who
It must be Christmas time

Only You lyrics - Chris August

All that glitters isn't gold
And fireworks are ashes after they explode
Might be the latest, but it's not the greatest
If suddenly that something new is something old

You're the something that could never
Be replaced by something better
You're the sun above the weather
Something tried and true
So when it comes to forever
There is only you
There is only you

My short attention got realigned
The focus that was broken now can recognize
You're the contrary to the temporary
And somehow you just keep getting sweeter with time

You're the something that could never
Be replaced by something better
You're the sun above the weather
Something tried and true
So when it comes to forever
There is only you

Everything I would chase was so disposable
Now all I hold onto is only you
My one, my always, my ever is only you

You're the something that could never
Be replaced by something better
You're the sun above the weather
Something tried and true
So when it comes to forever
There is only you

My one, my always, my ever is only you

Only You Can Do It lyrics - Chris August

I'd say I'm sorry
Cause I am
What good is sorry
If I'm probably gonna turn around and then
Repeat the mess ups
Cause I am
Some point I'll step up to the hope
I'll grow up and make a stand

All the will on my own
Still I'm on the fence
Funny when I look to You
Is when it comprehends that

Only You can do it
Only You can do it
When it comes to getting through it
Lord, only You can do it...

When all these prayers start with
Hey, it's me again
Must be a sign that the wrong side of right
Is creeping in
It makes you contemplate
The depth of sin
The devil tricks your apprehensive heart
To staying condemned

All the will on my own
Still I'm on the fence
Funny when I look to You
Is when it comprehends that

Only You can do it
Only You can do it
When it comes to getting through it
Lord, only You can do it...

That's Your mercy
That's forgiveness
Lord, I know I'm a first hand witness
Life in Christ is
How You show that
You're the only way to know that

Only You can do it
Only You can do it
When it comes to getting through it
Lord, only You can do it

Only You can do it
Only You can do it
When it comes to getting through it
Lord, only You can do it

Pieces lyrics - Chris August

Unreserved, unrestrained
Your love is wild, your love is wild for me
It isn't shy, it's unashamed
Your love is proud to be seen with me

You don't give your heart in pieces
You don't hide yourself to tease us

Uncontrolled, uncontained
Your love is a fire burning bright for me
It's not just a spark, not just a flame
Your love is a light that all the world will see
Yeah, the world will see

You don't give your heart in pieces
You don't hide yourself to tease us

Your love's not fractured,
It's not a troubled mind
It isn't anxious,
It's not the restless kind
Your love's not passive,
It's never disengaged
It's always present,
It hangs on every word we say

Love keeps its promises,
It keeps its word
It honors what's sacred,
It's vows are good
Your love's not broken,
It's not insecure
Your love's not selfish,
Yes, your love is pure

Oh, you don't give your heart in pieces
(No you don't, no you don't)
You don't hide yourself to tease us
(You give all of you, ohh)

You don't give your heart in pieces
Oh you don't hide yourself to tease us
(You don't hide yourself to tease us)

Oh thank you Jesus
Everyone here will see

That you don't give your heart in pieces

The Discount Song lyrics - Chris August

This one right here goes out to all you people
That have ever paid full price for something that is only worth three fourths of that real price that you paid

It's seven in the morning and I'm sitting in the tub
Oh, I'm hungry like a muh, oh, I need me some grub
I said some biscuits nice and hot
Would sure hit the spot
But I'm broke like a joke
So let that discount drop

I pulled up in the drive-thru
Right then I knew
There's no contemplatin'
About my money situation

I have no bacon but I'd like to eat some
You see son hook me up with a free one
I'm broke, I'm broke don't you know
And that's not a joke this brother's poor and cold
I need some meat to complete my week
So hook me up with - what? - combo number three
For five ninety-nine are you outta your mind
For a burger and Sprite and some fries on the side?
And my pocket is thin and your price is too big
So hook me up, oh, with twenty-five percent

I wanna discount
I wanna discount
I wanna di-di-di-di-di-discount
Oh, it would be nice if I could pay full price
But it's not so just stop and let that discount drop

I wanna discount
I wanna discount
I wanna di-di-di-di-di-discount
Oh, it would be nice if I could pay full price
But it's not so just stop and let that discount drop

Now I'm stuck with no money
I need something in my tummy
Cause I'm gettin' really hungry I'm about to die
Have you ever seen a grown man cry?
You ever seen a grown man beg to be hooked up?
Well that's worth a try

Can we help one another?
Come on and hook up a brother
I know I'm not your sister just pretend I am your mother
Cause family discount that's what it's all about

Oh, I need it, I need it, so help a brother out
I'm broke, I'm broke don't poke no fun
I just wanna slim jim or a honey bun
Or how about a pizza for a very special price
And to make it real nice sprinkle red pepper spice

Rah, rah, you're magic ta-dah
Make my price deflate
Don't hate for goodness sake
Be straight and let me take a discount on number eight
I'm in the low money state almost low as my date

I wanna discount
I wanna discount
I wanna di-di-di-di-di-discount
Oh, it would be nice if I could pay full price
But it's not so just stop and let that discount drop

I wanna discount
I wanna discount
I wanna di-di-di-di-di-discount
Oh, it would be nice if I could pay full price
But it's not so just stop and let that discount drop

Alright looky here my brethren
I know there's times when that money's tight
And you just wanna take out that dime piece to a nice dinner
Like the Red Lobster or Applebee's
Heh, I feel you
Well I tell you what you store this message in your little heart
And when you get there you use it
And if and when it works, you might as well go and bless yourself with some dessert too
Alright let's try this out

I wanna discount
I wanna discount
I wanna di-di-di-di-di-discount
Oh, it would be nice if I could pay full price
But it's not so just stop and let that discount drop

I wanna discount
I wanna discount
I wanna di-di-di-di-di-discount
Oh, it would be nice if I could pay full price
But it's not so just stop and let that discount drop

I wanna discount
I wanna discount
I wanna di-di-di-di-di-discount
Oh, it would be nice if I could pay full price
But it's not so just stop and let that discount drop

I wanna discount
I wanna discount
I wanna di-di-di-di-di-discount
Oh, it would be nice if I could pay full price
But it's not so just stop and let that discount drop

This Christmas lyrics - Chris August

This Christmas...

Every winter
I watch it come and go
I see the splendor
But leave it covered in snow
I guess somehow I just allowed
To let my heart grow cold
One half faded, one half jaded
But in this burn out I hope

Of all the stars in this December sky
I need the one that
Led them to You back then
Point it out cause, Lord, I'm done with
All these written wishes
When all I want is forgiveness
Jesus be the star
That leads me back to You this Christmas

Back to You this Christmas
Back to You...

Break the surface
Cause I need more than a play
A Sundays service
With staged up snow and hay
I need the Spirit to remind me
Why You even came
And to thank You that You're still here
When we all turned You away

Of all the stars in this December sky
I need the one that
Led them to You back then
Point it out cause, Lord, I'm done with
All these written wishes
When all I want is forgiveness
Jesus be the star
That leads me back to You this Christmas

Show me to the road
Cause I'm all packed up to go
Lord, I'm walking I'm not stopping
Til I'm face to face with hope

Of all the stars in this December sky
I need the one that
Led them to You back then
Point it out cause, Lord, I'm done with
All these written wishes
When all I want is forgiveness
Jesus be the star
That leads me back to You this Christmas...

"The Maker" (2015)

The Maker lyrics - Chris August

I see You in the sunrise
I see You in the rain
I see You in the laughter
I feel You through the pain

Everything that You have made is beautiful
Oh, my God, I can't believe my eyes
But in all of this to think that You would think of me
Makes my heart come alive

[Chorus:]
Your love is like a mighty fire deep inside my bones
I feel like I could climb a thousand mountains all at once
And I never have to wonder if somebody cares for me
I love the Maker
And the Maker loves me

I see You, You are creation
I see the grandness of Your majesty
The universe is singing all Your glory
I can't believe You live inside of me

Everything that You have made is beautiful
Oh, my God, I can't believe my eyes
But in all of this to think that You would think of me
Makes my heart come alive

[Chorus]

More than just some words upon a page
You've shown me in a million ways
But there is one that stands above them all
Hands of creation on a cross

[Chorus]

I'm In Love With You lyrics - Chris August

This is crazy, unexpected, but it is amazing
It's the very thing that you pray for, been waiting for
Next thing I know you're standing at the door

Now it's open, and you are even more than I was hoping
I waited for the one, and you're my someone right
Through day and night, laughing or fight
I'm staying by your side

Baby, you know that I know that you know it
So maybe it's time to make time now to show it

Right here I wrote a song so I could make it clear
I'm not gonna let another minute pass by
Don't want you to wonder why
So here it is
Baby, I'm in love with you

It's your kindness, you're like a hidden gem, your beauty's timeless
You're everything, my everything, it's me and you
Yeah, it's true, once one is two, now let me follow through

And, baby, I know that you know that I've known it
So maybe it's time, yeah, it's time that I've told it

Right here I wrote a song so I could make it clear
I'm not gonna let another minute pass by
Don't want you to wonder why
So here it is
Baby, I'm in love with you

I know that if it has some worth then it takes some work
So I'm working for you
And I know I gotta put you first to make it last

Baby, I know that you know that I waited
But now the time is right and it feels good to say it

Right here I wrote a song so I could make it clear
I'm not gonna let another minute pass by
Don't want you to wonder why
So here it is
Baby, I'm in love with you

You're amazing, and I'm in love with you
Feels good to say it, oh, I'm in love with you
I'm in love
Ooh, baby, I'm in love with you, with you, with you

He's Still Here lyrics - Chris August

Two-thousand years ago He walked the earth, just flesh and bone
He used to heal the sick, make broken hearts turn beautiful,
But today we don't believe in miracles
Tell me when did we start thinking God stopped movin' when He does?
And why do we beleive that He has somehow lost His touch?
Oh, what's wrong with us?

He's still here
Still movin' after all these years
And He never disappeared
Our God yesterday is our God today
He's still here
He's still here

Let me tell the truth to you, sometimes I doubt what I can't see
But, then I look at this evidence - Your hands, Your breath on everything
And I believe, oh, silly me
Tell me when did I start thinking God stopped movin' when He does?
Why do I beleive The Savior stopped showin' up?
'Cause He's just as near as He ever was

He's still here
Still movin' after all these years
And he never disappeared
Our God yesterday is our God today
He's still here
He's still here

He was never gone
He didn't stay in the grave
His love is the one
He's still with us today
So break your chains!

He's still here
Still movin' after all these years
(Still movin' after all these years)
And he never disappeared
Our God yesterday (Our God yesterday) is our God today
He's still here
And He's movin', yeah, He's movin'
He's not in the grave
(He's still here)
He's still movin'
And His love is lovin' us today
Our God yesterday (Our God yesterday) is our God today
He's still here
Two-thousand years ago He walked the earth, just flesh and bone
They layed Him in a grave, but He wasn't there when they moved the stone, no
And He's still here

Drop Your Stone lyrics - Chris August

See the man with the bruises on his arm
He's had a hard life, can't seem to keep a job
He reaches out his arm, looking for another dollar bill
See the woman, she's weeping on the ground
She has four kids, no fathers to be found
Living on welfare, probably always will
Why are we so quick to judge?
Think of all the mercy that's been given to us

If we're pointing the finger
Three are pointing back at us, back at us
Do you not remember
Where we were before His love, before his Love?
Whatever you were gonna throw
Now's the time to let it go, drop your stone

See the lovers with their love out on parade
Proclaiming freedom while they're living as a slave
Everybody's born with their own depravity
See their eyes lost and lonely looking back
Well, I remember when I used to look like that
Until the day that Your grace came and rescued me

If we're pointing the finger
Three are pointing back at us, back at us
Do you not remember
Where we were before His love, before his Love?
Whatever you were gonna throw
Now's the time to let it go, and drop your stone

Why are we so quick to judge?
Just think about the mercy that's been given to us
Yes, God has demonstrated His great love
While we were yet sinners, the cross was big enough
The cross is enough

And if we're pointing the finger
Three are pointing back at us, right back at us
Oh God, I remember
Where I was before Your love, before Your Love
So whatever you were gonna throw
Now's the time to let it go, and drop your stone
Just drop your stone
Before you throw
Just drop your stone

Paradise lyrics - Chris August

Throwing water balloons, catching fireflies
Crazy how the time goes by
I miss you, oh, I miss you
Every year on the 4th of July
Watching fireworks lighting up the night
I miss you, oh, I miss you

We're not here to stay, it's temporary
There's a better place where we won't carry
Sickness, pain, our every tear
All of this will be left here
This is not goodbye
I'll see you in paradise
I'll see you in paradise

You often spoke of saving grace
But more than words, you lived your faith
Thank you, oh, I thank you
Looking around at the lives you touched
We all knew that we were loved
So thank you, oh, we thank you

We're not here to stay, it's temporary
There's a better place where we won't carry
Sickness, pain, our every tear
All of this will be left here
This is not goodbye
I'll see you in paradise
I'll see you in paradise

Death is just a part of life
That ushers in the Savior's bride

We're not here to stay, it's temporary
There's a better place where we won't carry
Sickness, pain, our every tear
All of this will be left here
This is not goodbye
I'll see you in paradise
I'll see you in paradise

Yeah, I'll see you in paradise
Oh, it's so hard to let you go
But in the end, I'm finding home
No, I'll see you in paradise

Gotta Be A Change lyrics - Chris August

I'm not the way I was meant to be
I carry chains though I've been set free
I'm a broken man healing, a sinner now believing
That I'm not the way I was meant to be

There's gotta be a difference, there's gotta be a change
You love me as I am, but You called me from the grave
Now that I've met Your mercy, I can't just stay the same
There's gotta be a difference, there's gotta be a change

I need holiness to consume my life
Want a softer heart, wanna lose my pride
Let every single action be filled with Your compassion
Oh, holiness, consume my life

There's gotta be a difference, there's gotta be a change
You love me as I am, but You called me from the grave
Now that I've met Your mercy, I can't just stay the same
There's gotta be a difference, there's gotta be a change
There's gotta be a difference, there's gotta be a change

Redemption's calling, calling out my name
Was born into my sin, but that's not where I have to stay
I don't need excuses, oh, but what I need is grace
To be only Yours today

There's got to be a change
There's got to be a change

There's gotta be a difference, there's gotta be a change
You love me as I am, but You called me from the grave
Now that I've met Your mercy, I can't just stay the same
There's gotta be a difference, there's gotta be a change

There's gotta be a change
Gotta be a difference in me
There's gotta be, oh, there's gotta be a change
Oh, there's gotta be a change

Find You To Find Me lyrics - Chris August

Just 25, I'm a quarter of a lifetime
Still trying to figure out who I really am inside
Oh, yes I am
Heard I should look in every religion
Heard I should look on the streets of LA
But the more time passes, the more I'm understanding

Don't have to dive to the bottom of the ocean
Don't have to climb to the highest peak
Been looking hard, now I finally see
I gotta find You if I wanna find me

I need to look to the healing hand that made me
Ooh, yes I do
I need to look to the only One who saves me, oh
I find my rest in open arms of mercy
I find my voice by speaking Your word
And I find my heart in a love that never leaves

Oh, don't have to dive to the bottom of the ocean
Don't have to climb to the highest peak
Been looking hard, now I finally see
I gotta find you if I want to find me

'Cause You were there when my story began
And the pen's still there in Your hand
So keep calling my name, I'll keep trusting Your plan
And that's how I keep finding out who I am

Don't have to dive to the bottom of the ocean
Don't have to climb to the highest peak
Been looking hard, now I finally see
I gotta find You if I wanna find me, yeah

Don't have to dive to the bottom of the ocean
Don't have to climb to the highest peak
Been looking hard, now I finally see
I gotta find You if I wanna find me
I gotta find You if I wanna find me
I gotta find You if I wanna find me

Just The Same lyrics - Chris August

Who doesn't have a list of regrets
Sins that I wish that I could forget
I've repented for plenty that I would give anything to do over
But in every mistake, there's a lesson to be learned
Favor is favor, it's not something I've earned
Just wanna be like You and each day I'm getting closer

You give me grace to cover everything I've done and I will do
You take my heart and with Your mercies every day, You make it new
You take the good and the bad, when I'm happy or sad
My mistakes of yesterday
And You love me just the same

I know that the cross is not an excuse
To live how I want then confess it to You
I've tried and I'm trying my hardest to do it right, oh

Oh, You give me grace to cover everything I've done and I will do
You take my heart and with Your mercies every day, You make it new
You take the good and the bad, when I'm happy or sad
My mistakes of yesterday
And You love me just the same

Your love doesn't change
It's not here then away
You don't leave when I am wrong
The cross paid the fall
Not some, but it all
You've been here all along
Now I'm right where I belong

You give me grace to cover everything I've done and I will do
You take my heart and with Your mercies every day, You make it new
You take the good and the bad, when I'm happy or sad
My mistakes of yesterday
And You love me just the same
You love me just the same
You love me just the same

Superhero lyrics - Chris August

You make me feel like I'm invincible
Like nothing could keep me down
Like I could stand on top of a bullet
And ride it around, ride it around, baby
Just call me Mr. Incredible
I'll sweep you right off your feet
I'll be your shining knight in the night
So you can see, ooh, you can see

You make me a superhero
Like I am unstoppable
Fly with me into the future
I'll be everything you want

I'll throw my fist through a freight train
I'll pick you up off the tracks
I will avenge every villain
Who broke your heart
And I'll steal it back, I'll steal it back, baby

You make me a superhero
Like I am unstoppable
So fly with me into the future
I'll be everything you want

You are like my kryptonite
I lose my mind every time
Girl, you make me weak in the knees
Can't believe I feel this way
Girl, you are my Lois Lane

You make me a superhero
Like I am unstoppable
So fly with me into the future
I'll be, I'll be everything you want

You make me a superhero, baby
Superhero
Girl, I marvel, and I marvel
I marvel at your ways
Girl, you're driving me insane
Yeah, I marvel, oh I marvel
Yeah, I marvel at your ways
Ooh, you're driving me insane
Oh, I marvel at your ways
You make me a superhero

Muddy Waters lyrics - Chris August

I've got trouble of the heart kind
But I'm giving it up to You
I've got trouble of the heart kind
But I'm giving it up to You
Yes I am
Feels like muddy waters
Is what I've been walking through

I took some pills from the doctor
He told me they would wash away my pain
I took some pills from the doctor
He told me they would wash away my pain
But after six months of a trial run
The prescription didn't change anything
Except for some side effects

I need some help from the Father
Won't You come and save Your son
I need some help from the Father
Won't You come and save Your son
I believe that Your life can make it right
And that the healing's already done
I'm gonna play it like it is

Something lyrics - Chris August

One is one until someone comes
And turns it into two, two
And yeah, two is so much better than

Going through life on my own
I'm ready for that someone
And baby, that someone is
You are my only, my all
Everything means nothing
Unless I've got something with you, you, you, you

Three is complete
It's God, and it's you, and it's me
And before I was yours
Something was missing
But it's not anymore

And going through life on my own
I'm ready for that someone
And baby, that someone is
You are my only, my all
Everything means nothing
Unless I've got something with you, you, you, you

Every single day I've been
Patiently just praying and
Baby, you are more than worth the wait
For the rest of my days
Till my life is through
I want to just spend them with you

I've been going through life on my own
I'm ready for that someone
And baby, that someone is
You are my only, my all
Everything means nothing
Unless I've got something with you, you
Unless I've got something with you, you, you
Baby, my something is you

Posters lyrics - Chris August

I used to hang some posters in my room
I filled the wall with guys I looked up to
If you could dunk the ball form the free throw line
Or a winning shot made just in time
I used to hang your poster in my room

I've kept a record of my dreams
Since I was just a kid in little league
Bottom of the 9th, they chant my name
I swing the bat and win the game
I've kept a record of my dreams

And oh, looking back it's funny
There wasn't any limit to my dreams
And oh, maybe it's just funny
Cause somewhere, they are still inside of me

I used to hang some posters in my room
But now there's just an artsy piece or two
I miss the days of being young
Oh, growing up is not that fun
Maybe I'll get some posters for my room

Drive-In Movie lyrics - Chris August

I remember making mix tapes
Yeah, those were the days
Now everyone just streams my songs
What happened to the Yellow Pages?
I guess everything changes
One minute here and then it's
Gone, gone, gone, gone

Like a drive-in movie
And every other used to be
Everything fades away
Everything fades away
It's cool for a moment
It's summer, then it's snowing
'Cause everything fades away
But You're here to stay

I've fallen in and out of fashion
Yeah, I'm still laughing
At what I wore to senior prom
So much temporary stuff
But faith, hope and love
These three things are never
Gone, gone, gone, gone

Like a drive-in movie
And every other used to be
Everything fades away
Everything fades away
It's cool for a moment
It's summer, then it's snowing
'Cause everything fades away
But You're here to stay

From age to age
You are the same
Yesterday and tomorrow
Your love never fades

Like a drive-in movie
Like every other used to be
Everything fades away
Everything fades away
It's cool for a moment
It's summer, then it's snowing
'Cause everything fades
But You're here to stay

You're here to stay
Everything fades away
Everything fades away

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
I'll be home for 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

A Little More Jesus lyrics - Chris August

It was just last Sunday
I was sitting in the pew
The preacher told some stories
Yeah he spoke about the truth
Something resonated
I heard a million times before
Somehow I needed to hear it once more, he said

[Chorus:]
I could use a little more Jesus
And a little bit less of me
I could be a little more humble
If we're speaking honestly
The more I see this heart inside of me
The more that I believe
I could use a little more Jesus
And a little bit less of me

I try to love my neighbor
And love my enemy
I went down to the homeless shelter and I
Gave them food to eat
It made me feel so good inside
But it did not bring me peace
Turns out there's just one thing that I need

[Chorus]

We've got rules and regulations
Got a stance on everything
It gets so complicated
When all we really need

Is just a little more Jesus
And a little bit less of me
I could be a little more humble
If we're speaking honestly
The more I see this heart inside of me
The more that I believe
That I could use a little more Jesus
And a little bit less of me

[Chorus]

I could use a little more Jesus 3x
And a little bit less of me
I could use a little more Jesus 3x
And a little bit less of me
A little bit less of me

Let The Music Play lyrics - Chris August

People in the church, if you feel these words
Raise a hand if you never got your feelings hurt
Well it’s no surprise, there’s not a hand in sight
Don't ya see, we all need a little work sometimes

So can we just rewind for a minute
'Cause you know we all could use a second pass
Don't matter if you lose or you win it
'Cause all this mess you're in won't last so

[Chorus:]
Hold on ain’t no need to worry 'bout today
Just let the music play
Hold on life is like a song that never fades
So let the music play
Just let the music play
Let the music play

Now insecurity, negativity
Got your head hanging down when it shouldn't be
Ya gotta realign, it's just a frame of mind
'Cause in the end everything is gonna work out fine

So can we just rewind for a minute
'Cause you know we all could use a second pass
Don't matter if you lose or you win it
'Cause all this mess you're in won't last so

[Chorus]

Hold on, hold on
Come on let the music play
Just let the music play

[Chorus]

Water Into Wine lyrics - Chris August

I've been runnin’ round in circles, but I can't do this on my own
To be so far away from perfect, that’s all I've ever known
It's not like I ain't been tryin’, 'cause I've been trying every door
And when they'd open I'd be lyin’ on the floor 'cause I'm always falling short

[Chorus:]
I've been lost chasing dreams of yesterday
Found my heart always leading me astray
So take these broken wings and teach them to fly
'Cause You're changing me from water into wine

I guess I thought that it'd be easy 'cause people always speak of peace
And now I'm picking up the pieces left of me
'Cause I can see that it was You breaking me

I've been lost chasing dreams of yesterday
Found my heart always leading me astray
So take these broken wings and teach them to fly
'Cause You're changing me from water into wine
From water into wine

I knew about the story revealing all Your glory
How You can take the nothing and turn it into something
But now I see my own life changing before my eyes
You saw me at my worst and fulfilled my thirst like water into wine

I've been lost chasing dreams of yesterday
Found my heart always leading me astray
So take these broken wings and teach them to fly
'Cause You're changing me from water into wine
From water into wine

Meant To Be lyrics - Chris August

I ask myself how could this be
It's like we solved the mystery
And I always heard don't hold your breath
But here you are when nothing's left
And I can't replicate this thing inside
What I'm tryin' to say is...

[Chorus:]
There's no rhyme, no reason why
It's just like we were meant to be
Can't explain why I feel this way
Oh you and me were meant to be

What makes this right will make no sense
It's like a planned coincidence
While all good things come to an end
This is just the start, where it all begins
And I can't replicate this thing inside
What I'm tryin' to say is...

There's no rhyme, no reason why
Oh it's just like we were meant to be
I can't explain why I feel this way
Oh you and me were meant to be

Like the river always runs, like the light is to the sun
I may never understand where it's from
And it's not hard to see, it's just meant to be
You're the only one, it's you and it’s me

There's no rhyme, no reason why
It's just like we were meant to be
Can't explain why I feel this way
Oh you and me were meant to be
We were meant to be
Like the river always runs, like the light is to the sun
We were meant to be

Truth Is Still True lyrics - Chris August

What good is a heart livin’ without You, livin’ without You
What good is a song that isn't about You, that isn't about You

So I sing, oh I sing, I sing Your name
Though it seems it’s all in vain
’Cause I know, and I know no matter how I feel
I know Your truth is still true

And what good is the lie that I got it all figured out, I got it all figured out
And oh what good is pretending that I'm not wrecked with doubt
When I'm wrecked with doubt

I sing, oh I sing, I sing Your name
Though it seems it’s all in vain
I know, and I know no matter how I feel
I know Your truth is still

The solid ground I fall on when I'm drowning in my grief
You will not be shaken by my faith or unbelief so I sing

So I sing, oh I sing, I sing Your name
Though it seems it’s all in vain
And I know, I know no matter how I feel
I know Your truth is still true, it is true

And I hid in the darkness, still there I found You, still there I found
There is no kind of song that isn't about You, that isn't about You

"No Far Away" (2010)

You And I lyrics - Chris August

Put your smile on
Today is gonna save us
Let the bridge down
The sun is gonna wake us

'Cause somebody's been
Messing around with me
And I don't know
But I'm, I'm thinking maybe

We can run into summer, the hotter weather's
Always cool when we're together
The sun is brighter when it shines from the sky
Down to you and I, down to you and I
It's brighter when it's you and I
You and I

Let the music play
It's time to start the dancing
Sound the new day
'Cause it's time to take some chances

When somebody's been
Messing around with you
Grab your shoes
'Cause I was thinking maybe

We can run into summer, the hotter weather's
Always cool when we're together
The sun is brighter when it shines from the sky
Down to you and I, down to you and I
It's brighter when it's you and I

On the road, just living life
With dreams as big as the Texas sky
Like a summer breeze in warm July
There's you and I

Somebody's been
Messing around with us
I don't know
But I'm thinking maybe

We can run into summer, the hotter weather's
Always cool when we're together
The sun is brighter when it shines from the sky
Down to you and I, down to you and I
It's brighter when it's you and I
You and I, you and I

Battle lyrics - Chris August

There's a battle between good and evil
And it's raging inside of me
There's a struggle, it's God and the devil
It's love against the enemy

Oh no, I'm not giving up now, Oh

Life's a fight of wrong and right that's tearing me apart
Oh but what the cross has done
Yeah the world will try to battle for my heart
But the war is already won

There's a snake that's hiding in the garden
There's a beautiful apple tree
There is trouble on the horizon
But I'm claiming victory

Oh no, I'm not giving in now, Oh
Life's a fight of wrong and right
That's tearing me apart
Oh but what the cross has done
Yeah the world will try to battle for my heart
But the war is already won

Won
Won
Mmmmm
Woooahhhhh
I'm not giving up now
Woooahhhhh
I'm not giving in

Life's a fight of wrong and right that's tearing me apart
Oh but what the cross has done
Yeah the world will try to battle for my heart
But the war is already won
Won
Won

Starry Night lyrics - Chris August

From the birds that sing
In the tallest trees
To the human life
Of you and me

From the desert sands
To the place we stand
He's God of all
He is everything

I'm giving my life to the only One
Who makes the moon reflect the sun
Every starry night
That was His design

I'm giving my life to the only Son
Who was and is and yet to come
Let the praises ring
'Cause He is everything
'Cause He is everything

From the autumn leaves
That will ride the breeze
To the faith it takes
To pray and see

From the painted sky
To my plank filled eye
He's God of all
He is everything, whoa

I'm giving my life to the only One
Who makes the moon reflect the sun
Every starry night
That was His design

I'm giving my life to the only Son
Who was and is and yet to come
Let the praises ring
'Cause He is everything
Everything

Hallelujah, hallelujah
I believe, oh, oh
Hallelujah, hallelujah
I believe

I'm giving my life to the only One
Who makes the moon reflect the sun
On that starry night
He changed my life

I'm giving it all to the only Son
Who gave me hope when I had none
So let the praises ring

I'm giving my life to the only One
Who makes the moon reflect the sun
Every starry night
It was His design

I'm giving my life to the only Son
Who was and is and yet to come
Every angel sings
That He is heavenly

So let the praises ring
'Cause He is everything

7x70 lyrics - Chris August

I've been living in this house here
Since the day that I was born
These walls have seen me happy
But most of all they've seen me torn

They've heard the screaming matches
That made a family fall apart
They've had a front row seat
To the breaking of my heart

7 times 70 times
I'll do what it takes to make it right
I thought the pain was here to stay
But forgiveness made a way

7 times 70 times
There's healing in the air tonight
I'm reaching up to pull it down
Gonna wrap it all around

I remember running down the hallway
Playing hide and seek
I didn't know that I was searching
For someone to notice me

I felt alone and undiscovered
And old enough to understand
Just when I'm supposed to be learning to love
You let me doubt again

7 times 70 times
I'll do what it takes to make it right
I thought the pain was here to stay
But forgiveness made a way

7 times 70 times
There's healing in the air tonight
I'm reaching up to pull it down
Gonna wrap it all around

I lost count of the ways you let me down
But no matter how many times
You weren't around
I'm all right now

God picked up my heart and helped me through
And shined a light on the one thing
Left to do
And that's forgive you

I forgive you

7 times 70 times
If that's the cost I'll pay the price

7 times 70 times
I'll do what it takes to make it right
I thought the pain was here to stay
But forgiveness made a way

7 times 70 times
There's healing in this house tonight
I'm reaching up to pull it down
Gonna wrap it all around

Yeah, I'm gonna wrap it all around

I've been living in this house here
Since the day that I was born

Want to Be Real lyrics - Chris August

I've never said this before, I've never opened that door so wide
No one else is around there's no good reason for me to hide
And I, I want to be real

[Chorus:]
So I'm throwing out words I don't fully understand
I could be talking to myself, but I don’t think I am
‘Cause You're always there, through the fight
Saving my heart from the doubt inside

I'm not the man that I was, I used to see You in highs and lows
But now I'll keep on believing, even if I can’t see You
And I, I wanna be real

[Chorus]

And I, I wanna be real, and I, I wanna be real
There's too much at stake and I'm tired of faking
I just wanna be real, I wanna be real
There’s too much at stake and I don't care if I break
I wanna be real, I just wanna be real

No Far Away lyrics - Chris August

When I ran from You, I ran to You
And when I tried to hide, I found You there
And when I told You no, You knew right where I'd go
So when I ran from You, I ran to You

There’s no way to get far away from You
There's no way to get far away from You
There's nowhere I could go that You're not already there
There's no way to get far away from You

There is no height or depth to hold You back
There is no towered veil to hide Your face
Cause You tore it down, now we see You all around
So when we run from You, we run to You

I fell so far I was so far gone
Then I saw You yeah I saw You
I climbed so high that I could not breath then I saw You there
You called me close and my heart gave in and I saw You I saw You
But what matters the most, in the midst of my sin, I saw You there….so

When I ran from You, I ran to You

It's Always Been You lyrics - Chris August

It's always been You
From the day that I saw You
From a heart that was broken
I was changed into something brand new

Like a butterfly learning
How to use my wings to fly like the wind
I gotta make it home again

It's always been You
Seeing deeper than the surface
With a smile You demolish
All my walls You can always break through

To the heart of the matter
No matter what I try to do
When I hide from the sun
You come and change my point of view

And I'm sorry for the things I've done
When You ran to me, I turned to run
But You were waiting when I came undone
And needed something to hold on to

'Cause it's always been You
In the heat of the moment
When the pain was so real
And the scars on my heart were still wounds

I gotta stop hiding
From the one thing that's left to do
I know what I gotta do

And I'm sorry for the things I've done
When You ran to me, I turned to run
But You were waiting when I came undone
And needed something to hold on to
It's always been You

I wake up, I wake up
To the morning light, to Your morning light
I wake up, I wake up
'Cause You shine so bright

I'm sorry for the things I've done
When You ran to me, I turned to run
Yeah, You were waiting, You were waiting

And I'm sorry for the things I've done
When You ran to me, I turned to run
But You were waiting when I came undone
You gave me something to hold on to

Yeah, it's always been You
Oh, it's always been You
Oh, it's always been You

Winter Time lyrics - Chris August

I'm laying here, waiting for you
Are seasons coming 'round?
The weather's cold, next thing I know
The ice is on the ground

Every year you meet me here
But you never stay

You're like an angel in the snow
I knew you'd come but soon you'll go
You have to leave but believe you'll be
Frozen in my mind and back to life
Come winter time

Night time comes and soon it will go
Hide behind the light
I'll open my eyes and peek outside
The ground is colored white

I hate it when you leave
But I love when you arrive

You're like an angel in the snow
I knew you'd come but soon you'll go
You have to leave but believe you'll be
Frozen in my mind and back to life
Come winter time

And I don't know why
You have to come and go

But when the weather gets warm
And the sun starts to shine
I know it's time to say goodbye
Yeah, whoa, oh

You're like an angel in the snow
I knew you'd come but soon you'll go
You have to leave but believe you'll be
Frozen in my mind and back to life
And back to life, and back to life
Come winter time

Canyons lyrics - Chris August

Mountains and valleys
The ups and the downs I go through
I will rejoice in You, Jesus
No matter the view

So I'm singing out
From the depths of my heart
I'm singing out
At the top of my lungs

I'm in love with You
'Cause canyons will echo my voice
Screaming Hallelujah
Oh, what a beautiful noise

Glory to God in the highest
From down here below
Jesus my Savior, Your name
Is the sound of my hope

So I'm singing out
From the depths of my heart
I'm singing out
At the top of my lungs, lifting You high

I'm in love with You
'Cause canyons will echo my voice
Screaming Hallelujah
Oh, what a beautiful noise

The sound of Your name
I long to hear
It's music to my ears
I'm in love with You

'Cause canyons will echo my voice
Screaming Halle, Hallelujah

I'm in love with You
'Cause canyons will echo my voice
Screaming Hallelujah

Oh, I'm in love with You
'Cause canyons will echo my voice
Screaming Hallelujah
Oh, what a beautiful noise
Oh, what a beautiful noise

What a beautiful noise
What a beautiful noise

Little Lovin' Left To Do lyrics - Chris August

So just the other day
I was stuck in line
Staring off in space
Some things were on my mind
Then she walked right by
I swear I fell in love
Just in a moments time
I knew she was the one

But my nurse came fast
And my words too slow
She walked on by

But I ain't never felt someone that I can't let go
I've never had the feeling that you have when you know
That one sure thing so really so true
Guess that I've got a little lovin' left to do

So there I was again
On a different day
Walkin' down the street
A couple blocks away
And then this girl appeared
I'd never seen before
She must be right for me
Someone I can't ignore

But my nurse came fast
And my words too slow
She walked on by

So I ain't never felt someone that I can't let go
I've never had the feeling that you have when you know
That one sure thing so really so true
Guess that I've got a little lovin' left to do

When will I find my someone
Will I have the heart to tell her
Every line that I have played in my head waiting for this day

I don't wanna have to say
No, no, no, no

That I ain't never felt someone that I can't let go
I've never had the feeling that you have when you know
That one sure thing so really so true
Guess that I've got a little lovin' left
I guess that I've got a little lovin' left
I guess that I've got a little lovin' left
To do
Little lovin' left to do
Yeahhhhh,
Woahhh

The Campfire Song lyrics - Chris August


When It's Cold Outside, Count On Me to keep you warm.
And When we arrive, there I'll be to hold the door.
Mmmm. When we talk at night, I promise I'm all ears.
I will turn into your prince if you kiss me here.
Oh oh oh. You love music, and the smell of summer rain.
Well I have this old guitar and a pocket full of change.
So. I might be what your lookin' for.
What your lookin for.
When your day goes blue, I find a way to make it bright.
When you need a laugh.
I'll bring a smile right to you, to you.
When we're all alone, and I'll be the sweetest man.
You will fall into my arms, or at least that's my plan.
Oh oh
You love sweaters, and the feel of linen sheets.
Well I'm not begging you, no I'm not that hard to please.
So, I might be what your lookin' for.
Well at night I watch the sky to find a shootin star.
If that's what I have to do to be right where you are.
Whoa- oh oh oh oh.
Whoa- oh oh oh oh oh.
You love fairytales and the thought of growing old.
And we'll have a happy life that's how our story goes.
So I might be what your lookin for.
Just might be what your lookin for.
I might be what your lookin for.
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh whoa oh.
What your lookin for.

Faithfully lyrics - Chris August

You draw me cause You're holy
Your light will never fade
Even when I run You know the way
To guide me home to You
And love me faithfully

Nothing could compare to the gift You gave
A love that ever shines through the lives You save
Your word, it never fails to help me see
God, You've always loved me faithfully

I'll follow where You lead me
I pray I'll learn Your ways
Even when I run You know the way
To guide me home to You
And love me faithfully

With our sins wiped away by the blood on the cross
And our lives have changed from the Son that You lost
You're always there to guide me home to You
And love me faithfully

Stranger lyrics - Chris August

Stranger, till I hear your laughter?
Crazy, cause you're all I'm after.
It's a pleasure, It was nice to have met you.
And I'll remember
To never for get you.

How could I not stop to say hello

[Chorus:]
So hello there,
How are you amazing
It's nice to finally meet you,
Been patiently waiting,
Been waiting just to see you,
To tell you I dreamed you,
Now I found you so call off the search
Cause I found my stranger.

Stranger, till they call your name
It's amazing, it's a simple thing.
I see you walking, don't you walk too far.
I may be neverous but I wanna be where you are.

Cause I found my...

Strangest thing that I ever did feel,
I had to make you smile just to prove it's real,
It was the lack of starving attention?
So if you're feeling the symptoms today
All you gotta do is say...

Hello there,
How are you amazing
It's nice to finally meet you,
Been patiently waiting,
Been waiting just to see you,
To tell you I dreamed you,
Now I found you so call off that search
Cause I found my stranger.

Cause I found my stranger [x2]

Just Close Your Eyes lyrics - Chris August

Letters in the mail and compare us and fail I just need you closer wishing to the stars just to be where you are that’s my life without you
