Declaration lyrics

Imagine this... I get a phone call from Regis
He says, "Do you want to be a millionare?"
They put me on the show and I win with two lifelines to spare
Now picture this... I act like nothing ever happened
And bury all the money in a coffee can
Well, I've been given more than Regis ever gave away
I was a dead man who was called to come out of my grave

Well, who is this angry man I see
In the mirror looking back at me?
It’s a man who’s tired, a man who’s weak
And it’s a man who needs a Savior

And who is this fearful little child
Crying out for home, but lost in the wild?
With a lonely heart that’s fading fast
It’s a child who needs a Savior

And what is this longing in my soul

I will not pretend to feel the pain you're going through
I know I cannot comprehend the hurt you've known
And I used to think it mattered if I understood
But now I just don't know

Well, I'll admit sometimes I still wish I knew what to say
And I keep looking for a way to fix it all
But we know we're at the mercy of God's higher ways
And our ways are so small

(Chorus)

My heart is restless as I wander through this jungle
The trees above refuse to let the sunlight through
And somewhere deep inside I hear the whispered longings
That tell me I was made for more than this

A blinding flash of light falls down into the darkenss
Slowly I notice strange new markings on the trail
The crimson drops are calling out to me come and follow

Now just the other day I overheard a flower talking to the sky

He said you know that I would be nothing without You, oh, oh

He said you give me rain, you give the sun a place to shine

You’re everything that my whole existence comes down to, oh, oh
And then the flower started singing a song

Before I knew it I was singing along

And we sang…

Lord, You know how much
I want to know so much
In the way of answers and explanations
I have cried and prayed
And still I seem to stay
In the middle of life's complications
All this pursuing leaves me feeling
Like I'm chasing down the wind
But now it's brought me back to You
And I can see again

This is everything I want
This is everything I need

I know you’ve heard the stories
But they all sound too good to be true
You’ve heard about a place called home
But there doesn’t seem to be one for you
So one more night you cry yourself to sleep
And drift off to a distant dream

Where love takes you in and everything changes
A miracle starts with the beat of a heart
When love takes you home and says you belong here

I didn’t come lookin’ for trouble
And I don’t want to fight needlessly
But I’m not gonna hide in a bubble
If trouble comes for me
I can feel my heart beating faster
I can tell something’s coming down
But if it’s gonna make me grow stronger then…

Bring it on
Let the lightning flash, let the thunder roll, let the storm winds blow
Bring it on

I never did like the word mediocre
I never wanted it to be said of me (Oh no)
Just point me to the top and I'd go over (over)
Looking for the very best that could be

So
What is this thing I see
Going on inside of me
When it comes to the Grace of God
Sometimes it's like

CHORUS
I'm playing GameBoy standing in the middle of the Grand Canyon
I'm eating candy sitting at a gourmet feast

I guess we have always known
That a day like this one would come
When our children would leave us
And begin to build a home of their own
Lord, all you have taught us
We have gladly passed on to them
But one thing we don't know
Is how to place them back in your arms again

CHORUS:
Lord, help us let go of two
That they might become one
Just like the Father, Spirit, and Son

And the pain falls like a curtain
On the things I once called certain
And I have to say the words I fear the most
I just don’t know

And the questions without answers
Come and paralyze the dancer
So I stand here on the stage afraid to move
Afraid to fall, oh, but fall I must
On this truth that my life has been formed from the dust

CHORUS:
God is God and I am not

Ladis and Gentleman, chlidren of all ages
Anyone listening, I've got an announcement to make
There's been some confusion about a certain someone
A lot of discussion and a lot of debate
So if I may take just a moment to say who Jesus is to me

Jesus is life, yeah, oh, oh, oh
Jesus is life, yeah, oh, oh, oh
The air I'm breathing
Why my heart is beating
Everything I'm needing

Men of courage with your message of peace
What is that look in your eyes?
Why have you come to this faraway place?
What is this story you would lay down your live to tell?
What kind of love can this be?

Chorus
There is no greater love than this
There is no greater gift that can ever be given
To be willing to die so another might live
There is no greater love than this

"This Day"

Yesterday the sky was bright and clear
I could see the sun and I could hear the song
Faith flowed like a river free and deep
And grace was not so hard to be believed
But that was yesterday
And what was close enough to touch
Now seems a world away
So what about this day

This day all His mercies are new
This day every promise is true
Father, help me to believe

Well I first remember the first time
I felt the power of your kiss
It hit me like a bolt of lightning
I said I never will recover from this

And like the words from the mouth of a prophet
I have lived to see those words come true
Just look at me now, I'm still reeling

With every little kiss I'm reminded
How wonderful it is to be in love with you
With every little look

Well you know it's not the first time
And it will not be the last
When you find me here on my knees
Praying for the storm to pass
But what I am really needing
Is much more than just relief
I am crying out for wisdom
Only you can give to me
'Cause it's such a mystery
I'm a clueless man when it comes
To knowing how to love a woman

How do I love her

Verse 1:
How do you explain,
How do you describe,
A love that goes from east to west,
And runs and deep as it is wide?

You know all our hopes
Lord, you know all our fears
And words cannot express the love we feel
But we long for You to hear

Chorus:
So listen to our hearts (oh, Lord, please listen)
Hear our spirits sing (and hear us sing)

I thought a lot of stone
Would be a safe place
To hide away the brokenness and pain
And I was so sure my empty eyes
Would be the last place
The light of love would ever shine again

But then with a miracle
You found me
You did what no one else
Could ever do

Nobody ever loved
The way that you love me
Nobody ever saw
What you brought alive in me
Nobody ever knew

Come in base I´ve landed my ship on a planet here in space
This is the one they say is inhabited by the human race
And I´m going out to look around and see what´s here
And I´ll tell you what I find
Confirmation on the inhabitants they´re running everywhere
And their technology is beyond what I´ve seen anywhere
But I´m trying to communicate and they don´t hear me

Deep in the jungle, up in a tree
In Indiana 1983
Living on pizza and too little sleep
Just me and my animal friends
Then in the distance I saw through the leaves
Creature of beauty like none I had even seen
The trouble started when you smiled at me
And the two words came crashing together
And true love slowly began

I am Tarzan, You are Jane
I am the night, and you are the day
