LYRICS:
Verse One
If I Told You What It Takes
To Reach The Highest High
You'd Laugh And Say
"Nothing's That Simple"
But You've Been Told Many Times Before
Messiah's Pointing To The Door
And No One's Had The Guts To Leave The Temple

Chorus
I'm Free, I'm Free
And Freedom Tastes Of Reality
And I'm Waiting For You To Follow Me

Bridge
He Who The Son Sets Free
Is Free Indeed
He Who The Son Sets Free
Is Free

Chorus
I'm Free, I'm Free
I'm Free, I'm Free
And Freedom Tastes Of Reality
And I'm Waiting For You To Follow Me.

How Can We Follow?
How Can We Follow?

LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
I'm gonna live the life I sing about in my song
I'm gonna stand right, always showing the wrong
If I'm in a crowd, if I'm alone, on the streets or in my home
I'm gonna live the life I sing about in my song

[Verse 2]
Well, I'm gonna live the life I sing about in my song
I'm gonna stand right always showing the wrong
If I'm in a crowd, if I'm alone, Lord, on the street or in my home
Gonna live the life I sing about in my song

[Bridge]
Everyday, everywhere, on the busy thoroughfare
Folks may watch me, folks may spot me
Say I'm foolish but I don't care
I can't go to church, shout all day Sunday
Go out and get drunk and raise sand all day Monday
I'm gonna live the life I sing about in my song

[Verse 3]
Mmm, not for gold nor for fame but for the love of Jesus name
I was always up the straight street and narrow way
Jesus told me in the day He will wash all my sins away
Gonna live the life I sing about in my song

[Verse 4]
Sure enough, I'm gonna live, live the life I sing about in my song
Oh, yeah, I'm gonna stand right and always showing the wrong
If I'm in a crowd, if I'm alone, well, on the street, in my home
I'm gonna live the life I sing about, oh, in my song

LYRICS:
I say a prayer every night
Whatever I do, I'll get it right
With no regret, no guilt or shame this time
No not this time

Once I surrender, I won't dare look back
'Cause if I do, I'll get off track
Move ahead in faith, and patiently await your answer
What will it be
Sight beyond what I see

You know what's best for me
Prepare my mind, prepare my heart
For whatever comes, I'm gon' be ready
Strength to pass any test

I feel like I'm so blessed
With you in control, I can't go wrong
'Cause I always know, I'm gonna be ready
I was free to do, what I wanted to
Lost everything, but I still had you
You showed me your grace, now my life's renewed

And I thank you, yes I thank you
So I'll tell anyone who'll listen, I'll testify
About how good you were to me, when so call friends passed me by
The fact that you would show somebody so broke down
So much mercy

Sight beyond what I see
(Beyond what I see)
You know what's best for me
(I know you know what's best for me)

Prepare my mind, prepare my heart
(Prepare my mind and prepare my heart)
For whatever comes, I'm gon' be ready
(For whatever comes, I'm gonna be ready)

Strength to pass any test (Give me the strength to pass any test)
I feel like I'm so blessed (I know that I'm so blessed)
With you in control, I can't go wrong

'Cause I always know, I'm gonna be ready
So use me as you will, I'll pay the price

'Cause you made the ultimate sacrifice
It's all because of you, that I even have life
And I'll give my love, as a tribute, to how great you are
Sight beyond what I see (Sight beyond what I see)
You know what's best for me
(You know, you know what's best for me ohh ohh)
Prepare my mind, prepare my heart
For whatever comes, I'm gon' be ready
Strength to pass any test (I wanna pass this test)
I feel like I'm so blessed
With you in control, I can't go wrong
'Cause I always know, I'm gonna be ready
I'm gonna be ready (This time I'm gonna be)
I'm gonna be ready
('Cause you live deep inside of me)
I'm gonna be ready
(And I know it's in your will for me to be ready, yeah yeah yeah uhh)
I'm gonna be ready
(I'm gonna be ready)

I've gotta get a message off to Santa today
It's gettin' close to Christmas I've got something to say
I've got a list of presents, I ain't askin' for the sky
But it's down to the wire, those reindeer gotta fly
I asked my dad and I asked and I asked my mom
I'm gonna e-mail Santa
I'm gonna e-mail Santa
I'm gonna e-mail Santa
I'm gonna e-mail Santa

Old man Santa's in a brand new age
With a world-wide address and his own webpage
Got a high-tech computer with a million megabytes
Pickin' it up with his global satellite
You've gotta get this letter ASAP
I'm gonna e-mail Santa
I'm gonna e-mail Santa
I'm gonna e-mail Santa

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way

I'm gonna e-mail Santa
I'm gonna e-mail Santa
I'm gonna e-mail Santa

LYRICS:
Jesus, take the beauty from the pain
Jesus, lift these weary hands again
Turn the silence into songs of praise
Jesus, I’m leaning on Your name

I’m leaning on You

When no one else can help me, Jesus can
Every other name is sinking sand
And even when my heart don’t understand
Jesus, I will trust You even then

I’m convinced that nothing can ever
Separate us from God’s love
Neither death, nor life, no power on earth
Can separate us

Oh, I’m confident that nothing can ever
Separate us from God’s great love
Neither death, nor life, no power on earth
You promised us

LYRICS:
[Verse 1: Chris McClarney]
When You speak, confusion fades
Just a word and suddenly I'm not afraid
'Cause You speak and freedom reigns
There is hope in every single word You say

[Chorus: Chris McClarney]
I don't wanna miss one word You speak
'Cause everything You say is life to me
I don't wanna miss one word You speak
Quiet my heart, I'm listening

[Verse 2: Hollyn]
When sorrows roar and troubles rage
You whisper peace when I don't have the words to say
I won't lose hope when storms won't break
You keep Your word, oh and Your promises will keep me safe

[Chorus 2: Chris McClarney & Hollyn]
I don't wanna miss one word You speak
'Cause everything You say is life to me
I don't wanna miss one word You speak
So quiet my heart, I'm listening

[Instrumental]

[Bridge: Hollyn w/ Chris McClarney]
Your ways are higher
You know just what I need
I trust You, Jesus
You see what I cannot see

Your ways are higher
You know just what I need
I trust You, Jesus
You see what I cannot see

Your ways are higher
You know just what I need
I trust You, Jesus
You see what I cannot see

Your ways are higher
You know just what I need
I trust You, Jesus
You see what I cannot see

[Chorus 3: Chris McClarney & Hollyn]
I don't wanna miss one word You speak
'Cause everything You say is life to me
I don't wanna miss one word You speak
So quiet my heart, I'm listening
I don't wanna miss one word You speak
'Cause everything You say is life to me
I don't wanna miss one word You speak
So quiet my heart, I'm listening

[Outro: Chris McClarney w/ Hollyn]
I don't wanna miss one word You speak
'Cause everything You say is life to me
I don't wanna miss one word You speak
So quiet my heart, I'm listening

LYRICS:
Insecure, so unsure
Anyone could ever love me just the way I am
Turned away, so afraid
Shame will come and tell me I’m rejected once again

I’ve thought my worth was lost
But it wasn’t lost on you
Help me believe what is true

You are for me
Not against me
I call on Your name
You silence the shame
You hear me, You’re with me
I know
I’m not alone

You bottle up all my tears
There’s not a one that’s wasted in Your hands
In Your hands
When I feel too weak to fight
Your arms will hold me up and give me strength to stand

When the walls are falling down
When I’m face to face to with doubt
And the lies are getting loud
Help me stand my ground
You say You will never leave
When I’m surrounded by my enemies
You go behind me, before me
Defend me, restore me
I am not alone
No, no, I am not alone
I am not alone
No, no, I am not alone

LYRICS:
If weakness is a wound
That no one wants to speak of
Then cool is just how far we have to fall
And I am not immune
I only want to be loved
But I feel safe behind the firewall

And I will lose my need to impress
If you want the truth

I need to confess
I'm not alright
I'm broken inside
Broken inside
And all I go through
It leads me to you

It leads me to you
Burn away the pride, bring me to my weakness
'till everything to hide behind is gone
And when I'm open wide, with nothing left to cling to
Only you are there to lead me on
Cause honestly, I'm not that strong

I'm not alright, I'm broken inside

Broken inside
And all I go through, it leads me to you
It leads me to you
And now I move
And now I move
And now I move

Closer to you

And now I move
And now I move
Closer to you
And now I move
And now I move
And now I move

Closer to you
And now I move
And now I move
And now I move...
I'm not alright, I'm broken inside
Broken inside
I'm not alright, I'm broken inside
Broken inside
And all I go through, It leads me to you
It leads me to you
I'm not alright
I'm not alright
I'm not alright
That's why I need you

LYRICS:
In a world with pressures onto me
I will keep on pressing into You
You are where I run to draw my strength

In a world that says, don't believe
Help me God, to hold on the truth
I will choose to trust where I can't see

I will give my life to You

I'm not ashamed, I'm not ashamed
I will hold up high Your name
I'm not ashamed, I'm not ashamed
This is where my faith gets brave

And even if it costs me everything
And I will stay in policy
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh oh
And I am not ashamed
Jesus, I am not ashamed

I surrender, here I leave my harms
And I remember how You spread Your arms
Even still, this world stays in the dark

And I will fight the fight
I won't walk the line
You have paid Your life for mine

I'm not ashamed, I'm not ashamed
I will hold up high Your name
I'm not ashamed, I'm not ashamed
This is where my faith gets brave

And even if it costs me everything
And I will stay in policy
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh

And I am not ashamed
Jesus, I am not ashamed

This is my one desire
To burn with holy fire
My life may never fade away
This is my one defence
You're faithful till the end
You take my life and I still live

I'm not ashamed, I'm not ashamed
I will hold up high Your name
I'm not ashamed, I'm not ashamed
This is where my faith gets brave

Even if it costs me everything
And I will stay in policy
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oh

And I am not ashamed
And I am not ashamed

LYRICS:
I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show
I'm not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ

What are we sneaking around for?
Who are we trying to please?
Shrugging off sin, apologizing like we're spreading some kind of disease
I'm saying, "No way, no way"

I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show
I'm not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ

This one says it's a lost cause
Save your testimonies for church time
The other ones state you'd better wait until you do a little market research
I'm saying, "No way, no way"

I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show
I'm not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ

I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show
I'm not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ

I'm not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ

I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show
I'm not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ

I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show
I'm not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ

I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show
I'm not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ

I'm not ashamed to let you know
I want this light in me to show
I'm not ashamed to speak the name of Jesus Christ

LYRICS:
Cutting Edge version:
There was a time as a little boy
When I said I'd follow You
But the years have caused the flame
To burn much stronger now
And I'm not burning down any of my bridges
But I'm burning up inside
To flee from my religion and love my neighbour more, yeah

I'm not ashamed of the gospel
I'm not ashamed of the One I love, no, no
I'm not ashamed of the gospel
I'm not ashamed of the One I love

There were times in my barrenness
When I felt Your pure affection
And You heard my frail petitions
To serve You endlessly
But have I loved the tree that they put You on?
Or my friend who met me at the cross? Thank You
Oh I want to sing again for my brother now
And find my way down this mountain, yeah, yeah
Finding my way down

I'm not ashamed of the gospel
I'm not ashamed of the One I love, no, no. I'm not ashamed, hey, Lord
I'm not ashamed of the gospel
I'm not ashamed of the One I love

Oh, I'm not ashamed, no no

I'm not ashamed of the gospel. I'm not ashamed
I'm not ashamed of the One I love. I'm not., yeah
I'm not ashamed of the gospel
I'm not ashamed of the One I love

I'm not ashamed any more
'Cos I've felt the oil pour down over me
And there's a fire that's burning within me stronger now
It's burning stronger much stronger
Oh I can feel it
For You only for You

I'm not ashamed
Hey
Yeah
Hey

Spoken
I'm not ashamed
Here we go, here we go, here we go

I'm not ashamed of the gospel
I'm not ashamed of the One I love, no, no. I'm not ashamed, hey, Lord
I'm not ashamed of the gospel
I'm not ashamed of the One I love
I'm not ashamed
Here we go
I'm not ashamed

Live & In The Can album version:
There was a time as a little boy
When I said I'd follow You
But the years have caused the flame
To burn much stronger now
And I'm not burning down any of my bridges
But I'm burning up inside
To flee from my religion and love my neighbour more

I'm not ashamed of the gospel
I'm not ashamed of the one I love
Yeah
I'm not ashamed of the gospel
I'm not ashamed of the one I love

There were times in my barrenness
When I felt Your pure affection
And You heard my frail petitions
To serve You endlessly
But have I loved the tree that they put You on?
Or my friend who met me at the cross?
Oh I want to sing again for my brother
And find my way down this mountain
I'm not ashamed of the gospel
I'm not ashamed of the One I love
I'm not ashamed of the gospel
I'm not ashamed of the One I love

Yeah

I'm not ashamed of the gospel
I'm not ashamed of the One I love
Thank You, Jesus
I'm not ashamed of the gospel
I'm not ashamed of the One I love

I'm not ashamed any more
'Cos I've found Jesus
And I've felt the oil pour down
And I've felt the oil pour down me
It's getting stronger
Getting stronger
Can you feel it, it's getting stronger now. Here it comes - spoken
Sing like you're not ashamed

Spoken:
Here comes the oil
Everybody

I'm not ashamed of the gospel
I'm not ashamed of the One I love
Yeah
I'm not ashamed of the gospel
I'm not ashamed of the One I love

Rise up church and sing, everybody - spoken

I'm not ashamed of the gospel
I'm not ashamed of the One I love
We're living for You, Jesus. Thank You. Thank You - spoken
I'm not ashamed of the gospel
I'm not ashamed of the One I love

Hey
Hey, I'm living for You

LYRICS:
I wish you could see me now
I wish I could show you how
I'm not who I was
I used to be mad at you
A little on the hurt side too
But I'm not who I was

I found my way around
To forgiving you some time ago
But I never got to tell you so

I found us in a photograph
I saw me and I had to laugh
You know, I'm not who I was
You were there, you were right above me
And I wonder if you ever loved me
Just for who I was

When the pain came back again
Like a bitter friend, it was all that I could do
To keep myself from blaming you

I reckon it's a funny thing
I figured out I can sing
Now I'm not who I was
I write about love and such
Maybe 'cause I want it so much
I'm not who I was

I was thinking maybe I
I should let you know that I am not the same
But I never did forget your name, hello

Well, the thing I find most amazing
In amazing grace is the chance to give it out
Maybe that's what love is all about

I wish you could see me now
I wish I could show you how
I'm not who I was
