I Choose to Live
by Randy Thompson

I choose to live out of who You made me
I choose to live out of who You say I am
I choose to live this new life You gave me
In You I choose to live

I choose to live where there is no condemnation
I choose to live knowing You are by my side
I choose to live as a new creation
In You I choose to live

In Grace beyond my comprehension In Grace that meets my every need
In Grace that draws my adoration In Grace that sets my spirit free

I choose to live in the glory of Your presence
I choose to live in the wonder of Your love
I choose to live knowing nothing separates us
In You I choose to live

I choose to live knowing You are always for me
I choose to live where I've nothing left to hide
I choose to live where there's nothing that I should be
In You I choose to live

In Grace beyond my comprehension
In Grace that meets my every need
In Grace that draws my adoration
In Grace that sets my spirit free
In Grace that covers all my failings
In Grace that casts my fear away
In Grace that frees my heart to serve You
In Grace beyond what words convey

I Surrender All
by Randy Thompson

 In the morning Lord be near me
I will need Your guiding hand
In the day when I grow weary    
Give me strength to help me stand
In the night when I cannot see
Give me strength to believe
You are here beside me

O, I want to be with You Jesus
I want to be where You are
My life I give You Jesus
O for faith to trust You more

 Lord Though I may fall and stumble
Help me not to loose my way
And though I may choose to wander
Bring me back to You I pray
And if fear ever overtakes me
Or this life breaks me
Remind me of this that

 O, I want to be with You Jesus
I want to be where You are
My life I give You Jesus
O for faith to trust You more

 All to you Jesus I surrender
All to You I freely give
I will ever love and trust Him
In His presence daily live
I surrender all ................
I surrender all ................

I Want To Know
by Randy Thompson

I want to know the power I want to know the joy
I want to know the truth that sets me free
I want to know You in Your sacrifice of love
To know the strength that comes through suffering

I want to know the love You give
I want to know in You I live
I want to know the awesome power of Your resurrection

I want to know Your hope And know the peace
That goes beyond my understanding
To see You do through me Miracles of faith
That only serve to bring You glory
I want to walk beneath the flood
Of Your cleansing blood
To feel Your Holy Spirit living in me

I want to go with You wherever You may go
I want to have the courage Lord to follow
No matter what the cost I want to spend it all in serving You
Knowing that it’s not what I may give up
It’s not what I may loose along the way
Lord it’s true I want to know You

I want to hear Your voice If even in a whisper
When no one else around me knows Your there
To hear You calling me To come and follow
Taking up a cross I freely bear
I want to feel the flame that burns so bright
I want to hear Your voice as it speaks through me
To look into the blinding light and there see You

I'm So Glad
by Randy Thompson

Some people think I'm crazy
And others think I'm just a fool
Sopme people think I'm wasting my time
Believing in You
Well some people don't believe it
And others just don't seem to care
But Lord there's a few who are searching for you
And they just want to know you're there

And I can't help but remember
That there was a time
I did not know You cared

Well some people go their own way
Trying to live their lives on their own
And some people just wander through life all alone
And some people are searching
But they're looking in all the wrong places
Hopeing to find some meaning in life
But they can't seam to make it all rhyme

And I can hardly imagine
Trying to live my life without you now
"Cause there's so many changes
And so many lies
So many things that I don't understand
And there's so much despair
So few people who care
And so little real love to be found

Open Your heart what's the point of waiting
Jesus has paid for it all
Open your heart
Oh, why are you waiting
Open your heart and let Jesus come in it right now

I'm so glad..........

If You Hear Me
by Randy Thompson

Jesus, if You can hear me now
Don't listen to my words for they've betrayed me
Listen to my heart
For there within the deepest part
You know that I believe

Jesus, I don't know if You are here
I don't know if You still love me
Knowing what I've done
That I denied the only one
Whoever gave His life for me

CHORUS
Jesus, if You hear me now
You must know my heart is broken
I said I'd never do
The very thing I've done to You
And now I feel so ashamed

O Lord please hear my prayer
I need to know You're there
For I can't live without You

Jesus, I don't know what to say
I only wish that You were here now
To look into my eyes
And separate the truth from the lies
Like You've done so many times before

CHORUS
Jesus, if You hear me now
You must know how much I love You
I said I'd never do
The very thing I've done to You
And now I feel so ashamed

O Lord please hear my prayer
I need to know You're there
For I can't live without You

In Remembrance
By Randy Thompson

And the blood ran down
As the nails were driven deeper in His hands
No one standing there could understand
Suspended there in space
The blood running down His face
No one saw the battle that was silently raging
Only God could see the cost
Of what was gained and what was lost
Jesus paid the debt I couldn't pay

And the darkness fell
As Jesus hung there slowly dying
And Mary His mother stood there softly crying
His body was broken and torn
By the sin that He had born
This Lamb of God who took the sins of the world
And I've heard that Jesus cried,
"It is finished," and then He died
He paid the debt you and I owed

And the blood ran down
On the face of Jesus as He hung there limply
And the body which was battered and torn
Now was empty
And as they lifted Him from the cross
All they could see was what they'd lost
But Jesus rose again the third day
To proclaim the victory won
The battle over and done
All that matters now is which side you're on
All that matters now is which side you're on

Is There Something I Could Say
by Randy Thompson

Is there something I could say that just might wipe away your doubt
And make you believe it
Is there anything that I could do to finally convince you that it's true
Are you waiting for a miracle to make you change your mind
Or are you just afraid of what it is that you might find
Are you willing now to walk away and leave it all behind

Is there something I could show you that would let you know how much
He really loves you
How can I make you understand there's more to life than only what you see
His love is real and nothing like you've ever known before
Every hurt you ever felt He felt it even more
And in those moments when you'd given up He felt that you were worth His dying for

Jesus showed His love when He displayed it on the cross
Lifted up for all the world to see it
If loving means to give yourself regardless of the cost
Jesus gave it all for you and me

If I could only make you understand
That is's a love that's never ending
If I could only find the words to paint a picture of the change
His love has wrought
I only want for you to have the love He's given me
To open your blinded eyes so you can finally see
That we may share the life in Him the way that it was always meant to be

It Should Have Been Me
by Randy Thompson

Did he cry as he stood and carved on the wood
Upon which Christ would die
Did he gaze very long on the work that his hands had done
And was he satisfied
Did he care that the splinters
Would tear at His flesh as He hung on the mountain side
as He picked Himself up to take His last breath
And His sin scared body died

Was a rough piece of wood wasn't carved very good
That He placed on His back that day
But He never said a word and He carried it as far as He could
Then He fell beneath the weight
And as they nailed Him down
They all stood in wonder at the words my Jesus prayed
And with every drop of blood
The price of my sin was paid

Well the road was long and His strength was gone
As He stumbled through the crowd
And His feet were torn and the bloody thorns
Dug deeper into His brow
And no one saw the tears that He shed fall slowly to the ground
But no greater love than this has ever been found

You see it should have been me
It should have been me
Jesus took my place on Calvary
For I made the nails and the crown
And carved the cross o which He died
And it should have been me
It should have been me

It's By Grace
by Randy Thompson

It's by grace I am saved
It's through faith and not by anything I've done
It's Your love that has bought me
And by your grace you sent your only son
And sometimes Lord I know
That I'm so unworthy
Of all of the love that You've shown to me
Why would you do it
O Lord why go through it for me

It's by grace I am saved
It's through faith and not by anything I've done
It was you who stood by me
When everyone had left me on my own
And sometimes Lord I know
That I don't deserve it
All of these riches at Christ's expense
O God I don't really know why but I'm so glad You did

Your love it surrounds me and God it astounds me
I know you're there
No matter when I falter or how many times I fall Lord
I know you care
And sometimes Lord I know
That I don't understand it
Why You would do this for sinners like us
God why you gave your own Son
To die on the cross

It's by grace I am saved
It's through faith and not by anything I've done
It's by grace I am saved
It's through faith and not by anything I've done
It's by grace I am saved
It's through faith I am saved
It's by grace I am saved
