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

Loving You Is Easy lyrics - Chris August

Loving You is elementary
Easier than 1, 2, 3

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
