lyrics

Your laws are wonderful
No wonder I obey them
The teaching of your word gives light
So even the simple can understand
I pant, thirst with expectation
Longing for your commands
Come and show me your mercy
Guide my steps by your word
So I will not be overcome

Your love covers the planets
Fills atmospheres and systems of canyons
It permeates each physical state
Physical constants constantly giving you praise
You’ve given us night time and given us day
You’ve given us laws by your wisdom and grace
You listen to all who petition and pray
So I ask for strength as I commit to your ways
‘Cause I can see it, see it on every side
Bitterness, pain, selfish ambition, envy and pride
Greed and jealousy, indeed the enemy lies
In secret I am weak and pretend to be fine
But all is revealed by your glorious light
I can run from it or step forth and confide in you
Tried and true. We might soar on the heights
But now I’m taking steps, two, three or four at a time with you

You supply my breath
It’s only in you that I find my rest
I can still lose if I try my best
But I’ll know where to move if you guide my steps
You supply my breath
It’s only in you that I find my rest
I can still lose if I try my best
But I’ll know where to move if you guide my steps

Following in my weakness
Dry, barren and thirsty soul
So many places on this land for me to go
Deceived by my own strength that I need to know
I'm nothing, but given something
Lord beset me with gumption
I wanna speak life even when life is crushing
Blushing
'Cause I need faith even when I see nothing

Who are we that you got on your knees
With a basin of water and started washing our feet, Lord
Who am I that you decided to die
In my place on a cross, tossed in with mockers and thieves, Lord
How is it that the ground couldn’t grip you
Neither tomb stone nor gravity was found to resist you
While crowds of misfits astounded witnessed you
Rise to life, then to heaven as you called us to be yours
What can I do, but seek you and serve you
Not to reap what I’ve earned or believe I deserve to
Just in freedom that churns up the deep and spurs me
To learn and to keep and push on to the reward
Lord, I will follow you and
In all the joys and the sorrows that fall in my hands
In all my plans for tomorrow and actions today
My path will demonstrate you are active and great

You supply my breath
It’s only in you that I find my rest
I can still lose if I try my best
But I’ll know where to move if you guide my steps
You supply my breath
It’s only in you that I find my rest
I can still lose if I try my best
But I’ll know where to move if you guide my steps

You speak my name I'll answer the call
Gracefully I want to surrender my all
Listen to the voice that tugs on me calling for justice
To bring this world some substance
They be chasing idols so it's vital that we bring some revival
The Word of the Lord our recital
Worship, love and serve
To bless those who life throws a curve
The challenges that we can bring to balance
But we have challenges too
So how are we going get through
Stand out, hands out, saying I belong to you
Strength and weakness, sunny skies or bleakness
I'm yours
I'm going to watch you work wonders
In your greatness
I'm going to watch you work wonders
