Casting Crowns – Joy to the World

Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart, prepare Him room
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and nature sing
And heaven and heaven and nature sing

Joy to the world, the Savior reigns
Let men their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy

He rules the world, with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders of His love
And wonders, wonders of His love

Joy to the world
The wonders of Your love
The wonders of Your love

Casting Crowns – Always Enough

In a dry and weary land
Lord, You are the rain
In a sea of shattered ones
Your love comes rushing in

You hold the world within Your hands
And see each tear that falls
Through every fire and every storm
You’re always enough, always enough

Your love is peace to the broken
Faith for the widow, hope for the orphan
Strength for the weak
Your love is the anthem of nations
Rings out through the ages
And You’re always enough for me

You keep my heart in perfect peace
My life is in Your hands
When confusion hides my way
You’re always enough, always enough

I rejoice for my Savior reigns
I rejoice for He lives in me
God on high, He has set me free
Worthy is the Lord

Casting Crowns – Glorious Day

One day when Heaven was filled with His praises
One day when sin was as black as could be
Jesus came forth to be born of a virgin
Dwelt among men, my example is He
Word became flesh and the light shined among us
His glory revealed

Living, He loved me
Dying, He saved me
Buried, He carried my sins far away
Rising, He justified freely forever
One day He’s coming
Oh glorious day, oh glorious day

One day they led Him up Calvary’s mountain
One day they nailed Him to die on a tree
Suffering anguish, despised and rejected
Bearing our sins, my Redeemer is He
Hands that healed nations, stretched out on a tree
And took the nails for me

One day the grave could conceal Him no longer
One day the stone rolled away from the door
Then He arose, over death He had conquered
Now He’s ascended, my Lord evermore
Death could not hold Him, the grave could not keep Him
From rising again

One day the trumpet will sound for His coming
One day the skies with His glories will shine
Wonderful day, my Beloved One, bringing
My Savior, Jesus, is mine

Third Day – Jesus, Light of the World

The most beautiful night of the year
All the stars light up the sky
And the city is sparkling with silver and gold
From a million points of light
A reflection of something that’s deeper within
Just a flicker of something more

Jesus, light of the world
Shine through the darkness
Bright as the day
Jesus light of the world
Shine in our hearts
Show us the way tonight

Who is this Child in the manger?
Kings bow and angels sing
The Lord of the universe
Has come here to save us a precious offering
All the heavens above and the earth below
Are filled with light of Your love

Chasen – Crazy Beautiful

Everybody’s been there
Everyone’s the same
But mostly we don’t care
Isn’t that a shame

We bring us down
Face after face
The inside is beautiful but the outside we want to change
We want to change

Whoa you’re oh so beautiful
You don’t need anyone’s approval
You’ve got to believe in yourself, you know you are
You’re crazy beautiful

Well every new year
You say you’re gonna change
From the way you live to how much you weigh
We don’t want to change

Take a look it’s all around you
See the world from different views
The way you shine from the inside
I know without a doubt
It’s more than what you’ll be
In the world’s eyes

Chasen – Castaway

I feel destruction running hard through my veins
But I see redemption rushing my way
My victories are bittersweet, and now I can tell
The only place my plans have led me is right where I fell

I’m overboard, too far from shore
A castaway trying to make it home
I catch my breath to save myself but I can’t
In my sight You were just in time
I feel You now You’re by my side
And I know You gave me, a gift of a second chance

I had a dream of a life of my own
And I had a place that I thought was my home
But now I see I just can’t have it any other way
It’s all or nothing, do or die and I’m the price I pay because

A second chance I won’t forget
A second life I won’t regret
A second wind to brave this night
A second more to make it right

Kari Jobe – No Sweeter Name

No sweeter name than the name of Jesus
No sweeter name have I ever known
No sweeter name than the name of Jesus

You are the life to my heart and my soul
You are the light to the darkness around me
You are the hope to the hopeless and broken
You are the only truth and the way

Jesus, Jesus
Jesus, Jesus

Kutless – Everything I Need

When every step is so hard to take
And all of my hope is fading away
When life is a mountain that I cannot climb
You carry me, Jesus carry me

You are strength in my weakness
And You are the refuge I seek
You are everything in my time of need
You are everything, You are everything I need

When every moment is more than I can take
And all of my strength is slipping away
When every breath gets harder to breathe
You carry me, Jesus carry me

I need You
You are everything I need
I love everything about You

Downhere – How Many Kings

Follow the star to a place unexpected
Would you believe after all we’ve projected,
A child in a manger?
Lowly and small, the weakest of all
Unlikeliest hero wrapped in His mother’s shawl
Just a child
Is this who we’ve waited for?

‘Cause how many kings stepped down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least for me?
And how many gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that is torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?

Bringing our gifts for the newborn Savior
All that we have, whether costly or meek
Because we believe
Gold for His honor and frankincense for His pleasure
And myrrh for the cross He’ll suffer
Do you believe?
Is this who we’ve waited for?

Only one did that for me
Oh, all for me, ah
Ah, ah

All for me, all for you
All for me, all for you
All for me, all for you
All for me, all for you

How many kings stepped down from their thrones?
How many lords have abandoned their homes?
How many greats have become the least?
How many gods have poured out their hearts
To romance a world that is torn all apart?
How many fathers gave up their sons for me?

Only one did that for me
Oh, all for me, all for you

Luminate – Come Home

You’re best friends with the word regret
You’re afraid that your life’s been wasted
So why hope if it’s only gonna let you down
You don’t think people really change
That you’re a mess and you’ll always be the same
And you doubt if you’ll ever get it turned around

So (I know) you’ve been running, searching for something
But you’re looking in a place you don’t belong
It’s never too late, you can’t outrun grace
No, mercy doesn’t care what you’ve done
So come home (Oh, oh, oh, oh)
So come home (Oh, oh, oh, oh)

You can try to fix your broken empire
And put bricks on a cracked foundation
But you’d be building castles on the sand
There’s power in the blood of Jesus
Your Father’s screaming just come home
He’s reaching out His hands

From the shadows, from the wrong roads
From the darkness, from the unknown
To redemption, something beautiful
To a new love, to a new home
