I can hear the sound of Heaven
Never heard a better melody
Yeah, I can hear the sound of Heaven
Oh, and it sounds like joy to me

LYRICS:
They told me

I'd never get to tell my story
Too many bullet holes
It would take a miracle
These voices
Inside my head like poison
Trying to steal my hope
Silencing my soul

But my story is only now beginning
Don't try to write my ending
Nobody gets to sing my song

This is the sound of surviving
This is my farewell to fear
This is my whole heart deciding
I'm still here, I'm still here
And I'm not done fighting
This is the sound of surviving

These pieces

The ones that left me bleeding
Intended for my pain
Became the gift You gave me
I gathered those pieces into a mountain
My freedom is in view
I'm stronger than I knew

And this hill is not the one I die on
I'm going to lift my eyes and
I'm going to keep on climbing

This is the sound of surviving
This is my farewell to fear
This is my whole heart deciding
I'm still here, I'm still here
And I'm not done fighting
This is the sound of surviving

I'm still here
Say it to the ache, lying there awake
Say it to your tears
I'm still here
Say it to the pain, say it to the rain
Say it to your fear

This is the sound of surviving
This is my farewell to fear
This is my whole heart deciding
I'm still here, I'm still here
And I'm not done fighting
No, I'm not done fighting
And I am still rising, rising
I'm still rising
And I'm not done fighting
This is the sound of surviving

LYRICS:
I ran away from your love
But you waited for me
Yes you waited for me
And then I heard your song
Singing over me
Singing over me

Now that I hear you Lord
I want to know you more
I want to know you more

Sing your song to me
Oh there's no greater thing
Than to listen to the sound of your voice
When I hear your song
I want to sing along
And listen to the sound of your voice
The sound of your voice

Lord I am calling your name
And I'm waiting for you
Yes I'm waiting for you
So won't you show me your way
And I will follow you
Yes I will follow you

Now that I hear you Lord
I want to know you more
I want to know you more

Sing your song to me
Oh there's no greater thing
Than to listen to the sound of your voice
When I hear your song
I want to sing along
And listen to the sound of your voice

Singing over me
Bringing peace and mercy
With a song that never ends
Singing over me
Marvelous and holy
Lord I want to hear your song again

Sing your song to me
Oh there's no greater thing
Than to listen to the sound of your voice
When I hear your song
I want to sing along
And listen to the sound of your voice
The sound of your voice

I want to hear your song
I want to hear your voice

I ran away from your love
But you waited for me
Yes you waited for me

LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
Welcome to hard times
Back again like its never been, for the first time
It seems to mess with my head
So when I realize what it takes can I relate
With whatever but never will it drive me to hate
Could be the next guy that you take before I wake
Now I lay me down to sleep, eyes tight when I pray
This here is real life, circumstances make you think
Should I be counting my blessings
The next second my eyes blink?

[Chorus]
Here in the Southtown, hey you know that kids don't play
Put it down in the streets, will I see another day
If I make it back this time, gots to hold what is mine
And thank God that I made it alive
Here in the Southtown, hey you know that kids don't play
Put it down in the streets, will I see another day
If I make it back this time, gots to hold what is mine
And thank God that I made it alive

[Verse 2]
One love, its easier said than done
Can I rise above everything that's in my way?
Like words you say
You let your tongue get loose
But when push comes to shove, not used to walking away
I keep on looking up, cause these times, they getting tough
Tomorrow's gone, and its the same old song
Father fill my cup, give me strength to power up
A life to shine, you're the diamond in this rough

[Chorus]
Here in the Southtown, hey you know that kids don't play
Put it down in the streets, will I see another day
If I make it back this time, gots to hold what is mine
And thank God that I made it alive
Here in the Southtown, hey you know that kids don't play
Put it down in the streets, will I see another day
If I make it back this time, gots to hold what is mine
And thank God that I made it alive

[Bridge]
Don't wanna throw up my fist, ain't gots to be like this
Don't wanna throw up my fist, I must resist
Don't wanna throw up my fist, I must resist
Don't wanna throw up my fist, I must resist
Don't wanna throw up my fist, I must resist
It ain't gots to be (Like this)
It ain't gots to be (Like this)
It ain't gots to be (Like this)
It ain't gots to be (Like this)
Like this, ain't gots to be like this (Like this)

Like this, ain't gots to be, like, this (Here in the Southtown!)
Like this
[Chorus]
Here in the Southtown, hey you know that kids don't play
Put it down in the streets, will I see another day
If I make it back this time, gots to hold what is mine
And thank God that I made it alive
Here in the Southtown, you know that kids don't play
Put it down in the streets, will I see another day
If I make it back this time, gots to hold what is mine
And thank God that I made it alive

[Outro]
Here in the Southtown

LYRICS
You can't add a single day by worrying
You'll worry your life away
Oh, don't worry your life away
You can't change a single thing by freaking out
It's just gonna close you in
Oh, don't let the trouble win

You may feel alone
But you're not on your own

(La-la-la, la-la-la-la)
If He can hold the world
He can hold this moment (la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
Not a field nor flower escapes His notice
Oh, even the sparrow
Knows He holds tomorrow
(La-la-la, la-la-la-la) (hey)
(La-la-la, la-la-la-la)

Lean in and it's hard to miss
Everything can change
When you make it his
Oh, He wants to carry it (hey)
Carefree in the care of God
When you let it go
You'll find that He's enough
Oh, you never leave His love

You don't walk alone

(La-la-la, la-la-la-la)
If He can hold the world
He can hold this moment (la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
Not a field nor flower escapes His notice
Oh, even the sparrow
Knows He holds tomorrow

There's not a single star that's out of place
There's nothing broken He can't remake
If you long for hope when you're afraid
Oh, look at the sparrow
Look at the sparrow

(La-la-la, la-la-la-la)
If He can hold the world
He can hold this moment (la-la-la, la-la-la-la)
Not a field nor flower escapes His notice
Oh, even the sparrow
Knows He holds tomorrow

(La-la-la, la-la-la-la) even the sparrow knows
He holds tomorrow

LYRICS
The sparrow's not worried about tomorrow
Or the troubles to come
The lily's not thinking about the seasons
The drought or the flood
The tree that's planted by the water
Isn't phased by the fire
So why should I be?

'Cause you take good care of me
You take good care of me
You know what I need before I even ask a thing
And you hold me in your hands
With a kindness that never ends
I'm carried in your love, no matter what the future brings
Yeah, you take good care of me

The sun's not worried about the winter
'Cause soon it will pass
The light's not thinking about the darkness
Or the shadow it cast
A heart that's planted in forgiveness
Doesn't dwell in the past
So why should I be?

'Cause you take good care of me
You take good care of me
You know what I need before I even ask a thing
And you hold me in your hands
With a kindness that never ends
I'm carried in your love, no matter what the future brings
Yeah, you take good care of me

I know there must be more
But I can't get past your kindness
I know there's got to be more
But I can't get past your goodness
I know there must be more
But I can't get past your kindness
I know there's got to be more
But I can't get past your goodness

You take good care of me
You take good care of me
You know what I need before I even ask a thing
You hold me in your hands
With a kindness that never ends
I'm carried in your love, no matter what the future brings
Oh, you take good care of me

LYRICS:
What have I to offer
To a world in need?
Yet for some unknown reason
You have chosen me

Lord You've set my journey
You've prepared the way
Still, I'm desperate for the words to say

All I am is willing
All I have is in Your hands

Speak for me, this my plea
Say the words I can't express
Sing for me a heavenly melody
That the people will be blessed
Speak for me

Every brief encounter
That You send my way
Is it just to show the love You gave me?
I see their troubled faces
A hunger deep inside
Lord, I depend on You to touch their lives

Light what burns within me
Let Your truth shine through my life

Speak for me, this my plea
Say the words I can't express
Sing for me a heavenly melody
That the people will be blessed
Speak for me

Sing for me, set me free
And they will see Your holiness
Speak for me

'Cause Your love will lead them on to heaven's gate
Where they can look upon Your face

Light what burns within me
Let Your truth shine through my life

Speak for me, this my plea
Say the words I can't express
Sing for me a heavenly melody
That the people will be blessed
Speak for me, sing for me
Set me free
And they will see Your holiness
Speak for me

Speak for me, sing for me
Speak for me

You're all I have to offer to a world in need

LYRICS:
Some days, life feels perfect
Other days, it just ain't workin'
The good, the bad, the right, the wrong
And everything in between

Yo it's crazy, amazing
We can turn our heart through the words we say
Mountains crumble with every syllable
Hope can live or die

So speak life, speak life
To the deadest, darkest night
Speak life, speak life
When the sun won't shine and you don't know why
Look into the eyes of the brokenhearted
Watch 'em come alive as soon as you speak hope
You speak love, you speak
You speak life, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You speak life, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Some days, the tongue gets twisted
Other days, my thoughts just fall apart
I do, I don't, I will, I won't
It's like I'm drowning in the deep

Well, it's crazy to imagine
Words from my lips as the arms of compassion
Mountains crumble with every syllable
Hope can live or die

So speak life, speak life
To the deadest, darkest night
Speak life, speak life
When the sun won't shine and you don't know why
Look into the eyes of the brokenhearted
Watch 'em come alive as soon as you speak hope
You speak love, you speak
You speak life, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You speak life, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Lift your head a little higher
Spread the love like fire
Hope will fall like rain
When you speak life with the words you say
Raise your thoughts a little higher
Use your words to inspire
Joy will fall like rain
When you speak life with the things you say

Lift your head a little higher
Spread the love like fire
Hope will fall like rain
When you speak life with the words you say

So speak life, speak life
To the deadest, darkest night
Speak life, speak life
When the sun won't shine and you don't know why
Look into the eyes of the brokenhearted
Watch 'em come alive as soon as you speak hope
You speak love, you speak
You speak life, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You speak life, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You speak life, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
You speak life, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Some days, life feels perfect

LYRICS:
Speak, O Lord, as we come to You
To receive the food of Your holy Word
Take Your truth, plant it deep in us
Shape and fashion us in Your likeness
That the light of Christ might be seen today
In our acts of love and our deeds of faith
Speak, O Lord, and fulfill in us
All Your purposes for Your glory

Teach us, Lord, full obedience
Holy reverence, true humility
Test our thoughts and our attitudes
In the radiance of Your purity
Cause our faith to rise, cause our eyes to see
Your majestic love and authority
Words of pow'r that can never fail
Let their truth prevail over unbelief

Speak, O Lord, and renew our minds
Help us grasp the heights of Your plans for us
Truths unchanged from the dawn of time
That will echo down through eternity
And by grace, we'll stand on Your promises
And by faith, we'll walk as You walk with us
Speak, O Lord, 'til Your church is built
And the earth is filled with Your glory
