LYRICS:
[Intro: TruDog]
Stories, we all got 'em

[Chorus]
We've been down to the bottom
Stories, we got 'em, when we hit rock bottom
If you been there, put your hands in the air
To let the lost know that someone cares

'Cause we've been down to the bottom
Stories, we got 'em, when we hit rock bottom
If you been there, put your hands in the air
And let somebody know that the Most High cares

[Verse 1: TobyMac]
I never knew that it would feel like this
When the two that raise you up and call it quits
Nobody told me 'bout the emptiness
When the place you call home is closed for business

I push the pain down, I gotta get by (Get by)
Always knowin' in my heart that it ain't gonna fly
Rock bottom's never felt so near before
And if pain is God's megaphone, it's loud and clear

So hold me now, Father, human love ain't enough
I've failed and been failed by the people I love
But Your faithful arms, they surround me
And any other soul who has to sail those seas
Of a broken family

[Chorus]
See, we've been down to the bottom
Stories, we got 'em, when we hit rock bottom
If you been there, put your hands in the air
To let the lost know that someone cares

'Cause we've been down to the bottom
Stories, we got 'em, when we hit rock bottom
If you been there, put your hands in the air
And let somebody know that the Most High cares

[Verse 2: Matt Dally]
Been so many times that I've been close to rock bottom
Tryin' to look for answers, but nobody's got 'em
Like the time my mother looked me in the eye, tryin' not to cry
Tellin' me the cancer might cause her to die

How can this be? I thought that God loved me
So why would He try to take my mother from me?
And as I cry myself to sleep at night, holding on my pillow tight
He spoke to me and said that everything gonna be alright

So I tried to fight all the pain that it caused
I try to move on, and I try to stay strong
So put your hands up (Come on), if y'all are feelin' me
And put your hands up (Come on), for everyone to see
So put your hands up (Come on), we all are family
So put your hands up (Get ‘em up in the air), in unity, it’s unity
[Chorus]
See, we've been down to the bottom
Stories, we got 'em, when we hit rock bottom
If you been there, put your hands in the air (Hands up)
To let the lost know that someone cares

'Cause we've been down to the bottom
Stories, we got 'em, when we hit rock bottom
If you been there, put your hands in the air
And let somebody know that the Most High cares

[Break: TobyMac]
We've been down to the bottom
Stories, we got 'em
If you been there, put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air

[Verse 3: Tricia Brock & TobyMac]
I've been there too (There too)
When everything falls apart and the best you can do is
Get through (Get through) each day
Wonderin', “Will this never end? Is it always gonna be this way?”

And the greatest lie you ever been told is
You're the only one to ever walk on this road
And now you'll never see the light of dawn
So we came together to say (Together to say), "Hold on"
'Cause we've been there and found our way home
I promise you that you're not on your own
One day this will pass, God will see us all through
God will see us all through, God will see us all pass through

[Chorus: TobyMac with Tricia Brock]
(Get ‘em up)
See, we've been down to the bottom (What)
Stories, we got 'em, when we hit rock bottom (What)
If you been there, put your hands in the air (Hands up)
And let somebody know that the Most High cares

'Cause we've been down to the bottom (To the bottom)
Stories, we got 'em, when we hit rock bottom (What)
If you been there, put your hands in the air
And let somebody know that the Most High cares

'Cause we've been down to the bottom
(Stories, we got 'em, when we hit rock bottom) Stories, we got 'em
If you been there, put your hands in the air (Hey)
Put your hands in the air, put your hands in the air

[Outro: TobyMac]
Hey, get a job!
Yeah… (‘preciate it)

I'm gone out on the road again
She's back there all alone again
Wonderin’, “When will it ever end
For her, or for me? For her, for me?”

I'm gone out on the road again
She's back there all alone again
Wonderin’, “When will it ever end
For her, or for me?”

Who’s that man playing guitar?
He just wants people to give him money...

LYRICS:
We have known
The greatness of Your power
And we have seen
Too much too turn back now
We have sung
Countless songs about You
And now
We want more than just a song

Come like a storm
Come like a crashing wave
Oceans will roar
As we lift high Your name
Come like a storm
Come like a storm
Come like a storm
As we lift high Your name

Rushing winds
Usher in Your presence
Heaven's rain
Push away all fear
Mercy flow
Breaking over my heart
Again
How we need more of You

Come like a storm
Come like a crashing wave
Oceans will roar
As we lift high Your name
Come like a storm
Come like a storm
Come like a storm
As we lift high Your name

Wave after wave
Grace after grace
Come have Your way
Come have Your way

Wave after wave
Grace after grace
Come have Your way
Come have Your way

Wave after wave
Grace after grace
Come have Your way
Come have Your way

Come like a storm
Come like a storm
Jesus

Come like a storm
Come like a crashing wave
Oceans will roar
As we lift high Your name
Come like a storm
Come like a storm
Come like a storm
As we lift high Your name

LYRICS:
Day by day, dream by dream I fight to find the way to go
Every day opens a different door
Every dream shadows the one before
But slowly I can see the way you've made for me

Straight ahead, I can see your light
Straight ahead, through the dark
Straight ahead, there's no left or right
Straight ahead, to your heart

Carry on through the night when the road is hard to find
Lying lights tell me to turn around
Lying thoughts tell me I'm lost not found
But clearly I can see you're waiting there for me

Straight ahead, I can see your light
Straight ahead, through the dark
Straight ahead, there's no left or right
Straight ahead, to your heart

Straight ahead
(Straight ahead)
Straight ahead
(Straight ahead)
Straight ahead
(Straight ahead)
Straight ahead
(Straight ahead)

Straight ahead, I can see your light
(Straight ahead)
Straight ahead, through the dark
Straight ahead, there's no left or right
Straight ahead, to your heart
Straight ahead

LYRICS:
When there's a storm raging in your soul
You gotta thank God that you're still growing old
If them demons you're fighting won't go away
Drop on your knees and pray

Life can get hard sometimes, I know
You got to get up and walk the straight and narrow
When they're chasing you down with an old bloodhound
And you're running through the fields for your life
You got to get up, son, I know they're gunnin' for ya

Don't let the thoughts of yesterday
Crowd out the visions of today
Don't let your past define your name
We will all be judged the same someday

Life can get hard sometimes, I know
You got to get up and walk the straight and narrow
When they're chasing you down with an old bloodhound
And you're running through the fields for your life
You got to get up, son, I know they're gunnin' for ya

When they're chasing you down with an old bloodhound
And you're running through the fields for your life
You got to get up, son, I know they're gunnin' for ya

LYRICS:
(Straight for your heart)
(Straight for your heart)

I see you, I see you so clear
I know you, you wanna disappear
You wonder who would notice
If you gave up the fight
Some days you feel invisible
Out of sight

Right here, right now
Tonight

I'm comin' straight for your heart
I'm bringin' light to the dark
It's gonna catch like a flame
Everything's about to change
All it takes is a spark
To bring hope where you are
'Cause you're never too far
No, you're never too far

I'm comin' straight for your heart
(Straight, straight, straight for your heart)
(Straight, straight, straight for your heart) Straight for your heart
(Straight, straight, straight for your heart)
(Straight, straight, straight for your heart)

You're heart beats, but it's just keeping time
You're living, but you don't feel alive
The world outside is turning
While yours is lying still
In the cycle, spinning spiral
Holding you until

Right here, right now
Tonight

I'm comin' straight for your heart
I'm bringin' light to the dark
It's gonna catch like a flame
Everything's about to change
All it takes is a spark
To bring hope where you are
'Cause you're never too far
No, you're never too far

I'm comin' straight for your heart
(Straight, straight, straight for your heart)
(Straight, straight, straight for your heart) Straight for your heart
(Straight, straight, straight for your heart)
(Straight, straight, straight for your heart)

You don't have to walk this road alone
I'll hold you, hold you
You don't have to live this life alone
I know you, know you
Even in the dark night, I'll be there
Even when you can't fight, I'll be there
I'll be there, I'll be there

I'm comin' straight for your heart
(Straight, straight, straight for your heart)
(Straight, straight, straight for your heart) (Straight for your heart)
(Straight, straight, straight for your heart)

I'm comin' straight for your heart
I'm bringin' light to the dark
It's gonna catch like a flame
Everything's about to change
All it takes is a spark
To bring hope where you are
'Cause you're never too far
No, you're never too far

I'm comin' straight for your heart
(Straight, straight, straight for your heart)
(Straight, straight, straight for your heart) Comin' straight for your heart
(Straight, straight, straight for your heart)
(Straight, straight, straight for your heart) Comin' straight for your heart
(Straight, straight, straight for your heart)
(Straight, straight, straight for your heart) Comin' straight for your heart
(Straight, straight, straight for your heart)
(Straight, straight, straight for your heart)

You don't have to walk this road alone
I'll hold you, hold you
You don't have to live this life alone
I know you

LYRICS:
I'm sure he must have been surprised
At where this road had taken him
Cause never in a million lives
Would he have dreamed of Bethlehem

And standing at the manger
He saw with his own eyes
The message from the angel come to life
And Joseph said

Why me, I'm just a simple man of trade
Why Him with all the rulers in the world
Why here inside this stable filled with hay
Why her, she's just an ordinary girl
Now I'm not one to second guess
What angels have to say
But this is such a strange way to save the world

To think of how it could have been
If Jesus had come as He deserved
There would have been no Bethlehem
No lowly shepherds at His birth

But Joseph knew the reason
Love had to reach so far
And as he held the Savior in his arms
He must have thought

Why me, I'm just a simple man of trade
Why Him with all the rulers in the world
Why here inside this stable filled with hay
Why her, she's just an ordinary girl
Now I'm not one to second guess
What angels have to say
But this is such a strange way to save the world

Now, I'm not one to second guess
What angels have to say
But this is such a strange way to save the world
This is such a strange way
Such a strange way
A strange way to save the world

LYRICS:
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-ooh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-ooh

I've got all these plans piled up sky-high
A thousand dreams on hold
And I don't know why

I got a front-row seat
To the longest wait
And I just can't see
Past the things I pray
Today

But when I fix my eyes on all that You are
Then every doubt I feel
Deep in my heart
Grows strangely dim

All my worries fade
And fall to the ground
'Cause when I seek Your face
And don't look around
Any place I'm in
Grows strangely dim, dim

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-ooh

Sometimes where I stand
On this narrow road
Is in a raging storm
Or a valley low
But oh

When I fix my eyes on all that You are
Then every doubt I feel
Deep in my heart
Grows strangely dim

All my worries fade
And fall to the ground
'Cause when I seek Your face
And don't look around
Any place I'm in
Grows strangely dim, dim

I don't know, I don't know
What tomorrow may hold
But I know, but I know
That You're holding it all
So no matter what may come

I'm gonna fix my eyes on all that You are
Till every doubt I feel
Deep in my heart
Grows strangely dim

Let all my worries fade
And fall to the ground
I'm gonna seek Your face
And not look around
Till the place I'm in
Grows strangely, strangely, strangely dim

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-ooh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-ooh

LYRICS:
I've got a friend who says
That he's gonna build a house
He's in love with a pretty lady
Now he's ready to settle down
I wonder if he knows
It takes more than wood or stone
To build a house that will stand
When the storms begin to blow

'Cause in the course of a life
Things don't always go as planned
And the dreams that began
With a kiss and a prayer
Can slip right through your hands

It takes a strong determination
A trust that never dies
The courage to forgive
And a heart that reconciles
A life full of devotion
A faith that won't give up
It takes a strong determination
To build a house of love
Whoa-whoa...

Yes, it's been said before
But it's forever true
Good things take a lot of patience
If you're gonna see them through
So much depends on us
And what we invest through the years
When the fire is an ember
When the laughter's touched with tears

'Cause it's easy to love
When you've just fallen in
But the years take a toll
And you've got to hold on
To finish what you begin

It takes a strong determination
A trust that never dies
The courage to forgive
And a heart that reconciles
A life full of devotion
A faith that won't give up
It takes a strong determination
To build a house of love

Whoo-ooh-ooh...

A life full of devotion
A faith that won't give up
It takes a strong determination
To build a house of love...

LYRICS:
You must
You must think I'm strong
To give me what I'm going through
Well, forgive me

Forgive me if I'm wrong
But this looks like more than I can do
On my own

I know I'm not strong enough to be
Everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not strong enough

Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough
Strong enough

For the both of us, yeah

Well, maybe
Maybe that's the point

To reach the point of giving up
'Cause when I'm finally
Finally at rock bottom

Well, that's when I start lookin' up
And reachin' out
I know I'm not strong enough to be
Everything that I'm supposed to be

I give up
I'm not strong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me?
Lord right now I'm asking you to be

Strong enough
Strong enough
'Cause I'm broken
Down to nothing

But I'm still holding on to the one thing
You are God
And you are strong

When I am weak
I can do all things
Through Christ who gives me strength
And I don't have to be
Strong enough
Strong enough

I know I can do all things
Through Christ who gives me strength
And I don't have to be
Strong enough
Strong enough...
Oh...
Yeah...

I know I'm not strong enough to be
Everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not strong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough
Strong enough
Strong enough

LYRICS:
Wrong thoughts and emotions
Have blinded the eyes of faith.
Misguided devotion kept
A pilgrim in dire straits.

Where does one go, where do you turn?
The guilt and fear depression lurks
Just beyond your back door,
Waiting for your decision you live and learn.
Deep in the valley caught
A glimpse of the morning star
If we could just reach you,
Get to know who you really are.

Where does one go, where do you turn?
There's a place, a fortress high
Just beyond your back door,
Waiting for your reception when you arrive.

The name of the Lord, run now,
Is a strong tower.
The name of the Lord, run now,
Is a strong tower.
Where you'll be safe.

Where does one go, where do you turn?
There's a place, a fortress high
Just beyond your back door,
Waiting for your reception when you arrive.

The name of the Lord, run now,
Is a strong tower.
The name of the Lord, run now,
Is a strong tower.
Where you'll be safe.
