“THE HEART OF WORSHIP”

THE HEART OF WORSHIP
(by Matt Redman)

VERSE 1
When the music fades
All is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that’s of worth
That will bless Your heart

PRE-CHORUS
I’ll bring You more than a song
For a song in itself
Is not what You have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You’re looking into my heart

CAPTIVATE
(by Starfield)

VERSE 1
You say
Strength is found in weakness
Peace in incompleteness
So why do I hold on?
You look for a heart that’s open
For beauty in the broken
So why am I withdrawn

My soul’s screaming out
To be found in You

CHORUS
Spirit, draw me to my knees
Captivate all of me
All of me
Here before You honestly
Captivate all of me
All of me

VERSE 2
I’m so messy and distracted
Undisciplined and tactless
Here on the inside
I thought age would tell the secrets
But the secrets are still secret
And the years are passing by

My soul’s screaming out
To be found in You

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Teach me to wait in the moments of my need
Teach me to hear the melodies of peace

CHORUS (X2)

SON OF GOD
(by Starfield)

VERSE 1
Son of God
Shaper of the stars

You alone
The dweller of my heart
Mighty King
How beautiful You are
How beautiful

“FROM THE INSIDE OUT”

FROM THE INSIDE OUT
(by Joel Houston)

VERSE 1
A thousand times I’ve failed
Still Your mercy remains
Should I stumble again
Still I’m caught in Your grace

Everlasting, Your light will shine
When all else fails
Neverending, Your glory goes
Beyond all fam

VERSE 2
Your will above all else
My purpose remains

The art of losing myself
In bringing You praise

Everlasting, Your light will shine
When all else fails
Neverending, Your glory goes
Beyond all fame

PRE-CHORUS
In my heart and my soul
I give You control
Consume me from the inside out Lord
Let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love You from the inside out

VERSE 2
Your will above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself
In bringing You praise
Everlasting, Your light will shine
When all else fades
Neverending, Your glory goes
Beyond all fame

PRE-CHORUS

CHORUS
Everlasting, Your light will shine
When all else fades
Neverending, Your glory goes
Beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart
Is to bring You praise
From the inside out
Lord my soul cries out

PRE-CHORUS
CHORUS

Here in Me

No matter where I go,
No matter what I do,
No matter what I think

God knows where I’m going
God knows what I’m going to do
God knows even before I think

He’s going to be there where I go,
He’s going to be there when I do,
He’s going to be there with me.

Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Where can I flee from Your Presence?

I do not have to search high and low
Because He is here in me.
