1. _ Dying To Reach You
Words and music by geoff thurman & michael puryear
He looked through temples of time
To see you right where you stand
He emptied all of himself
So he could reach out his hand
To give hope and meaning
To the wasted away
And you are one of the ones
That he was dying to save
(chorus)
He was dying to reach you
Trying to meet you
Where you need him most
You've been living in search of
The whole truth and real love
Your whole life through
You can open your heart
'cause he's dying to reach you
He's standing there at the door
You can hear him call you by name
He simply waits to forgive
All of the guilt and the shame
He gave up his own life
And he still bears the scars
He only wants to receive you
So come as you are
(chorus)
Oh, he has waited time and time before
You must be still and know that he is lord

2. _ The Great Divide
Words and music by grant cunningham & matt huesmann
Silence
Trying to fathom the distance
Looking out 'cross the canyon carved
By my hands
God is gracious
Sin would still separate us
Were it not for the bridge his grace
Has made us
His love will carry me
(chorus)
There's a bridge to cross the great divide
A way was made to reach the other side
The mercy of the father, cost his son
His life
His love is deep, his love is wide
There's a cross to bridge the great divide
God is faithful
On my own i'm unable
He found me hopeless, alone and
Sent a savior
He's provided a path a promised
To guide us
Safely past all the sin that would divide us
His love delivers me
(repeat chorus)
The cross that cost my lord his life
Has given me mine
There's a bridge to cross the great divide
There's a cross to bridge the great divide
(repeat chorus)

3. _ God Is With Us
Words and music by robert sterling
A rushing river sweeps around us
Just as dark and cold as night, it surrounds us
But we pass through the water to a safer shore
We're sheltered from the raging river's roar
(chorus)
Though the night is long
And the river's strong
Still god is with us
We can stem the tide
Reach the other side
For god is with us
The river deepens, night grows darker
And the struggle seems to be getting harder
Today has troubles yesterday has never known
But we don't have to face them on our own
(repeat chorus)
And when we face the river's roll
He holds our hand and won't let go

4. _ Love Like No Other
Words & music by john mandeville & ty lacy
Who would've known
This heart would stumble on someone
As great as you
Out of the blue
Who would've guessed
That i would fall so deep
In a hope as true
As the one i found in you
Heaven's hands
Lead me to faith's open door
I'm surrounded by a grace
This soul just can't ignore
(chorus)
Lord, i'm living in a love like not other
Lost in mercy like i've never known
Lord, i'm trusting in a love like no other
To lead me on
Who would've cared
Enough to reach beyond my thin disguise
To heal my life
Who would've dared
To wear the shame i carried deep inside
To be my sacrifice
Saving me
From myself in the nick of time
Forgiveness found
It's way into this heart of mine
(repeat chorus)
Unconditionally
You embrace all that i am
It's beyond all reason
It's a love i'll never understand
(repeat chorus)

5. _ Take Me Back
Words & music by pete strayer & robert sterling
Been too long chasing selfish dreams
Seeking only what my heart desired
I've drifted so far away it seems
From the truth that set my soul on fire
How many times will it take for me to see
That you're the only love my heart will
Ever need
(chorus)
Take me back, take me back, jesus
Take me back
To where i can know your love
Take me back, take me back, jesus
Take me back
Won't you take me back
Take me back, take me back, jesus
Take me back to where i can feel you love
Take me back, take me back, jesus
Take me back
Like the prodigal far from home
Lost inside a world of my own choosing
Tried to make it out on my own
Never realized all i'd be losing
I still remember just how it used to be
Lord, forgive my weakness
Come and rescue me
(repeat chorus)
There's no one else i would turn to
You're the only one who can pull me through
(repeat chorus)

6. _ More Than Anything
Words & music by jon mohr & randall dennis
(chorus)
God loves people more than anything
God loves people more than anything
More than anything he wants
Them to know
He'd rather die than let them go
'cause god love people more
Than anything
God loves the weary
When they're too weak to try
He feels their pain, he knows their shame
He cries with those who cry
He won't give up or walk away
When other people do
'cause god loves people more
Than anything
(repeat chorus)
More than anything he wants us to go
And show the world so they will know
That god loves people more
Than anything

7. _ Gather At The River
Words and music by joel lindsey & regie hamm
Sometimes we don't see eye to eye
We don't agree, we don't know why
But jesus prayed that we'd be one
So for the sake of god's own son
Can we put away our differences
Lay down our pride
I think it's time we start turning the tide
(chorus)
Shall we gather at the river of forgiveness
Come together at the waters of love
Flowing like a fountain from the mercy giver
Shall we gather at the river
We have all made enemies of
The ones we're called by christ to love
But there's redemption at the riverside
The water's deep, the water's wide
It can wash away our bitterness
The current is strong
I think we've been out in the desert too long
(repeat chorus)
We can wade into the middle
Where the healing waters flow
It only takes a little
To heal a wounded soul
It will only bring us closer
Than we've ever been before
This is just what jesus was praying for

8. _ The House That Mercy Built
Words & music by grant cunningham & matt huesmann
A light in the distance
Welcomes those wayfaring souls
Come this far
A heart grows tired, faith grows cold
Wandering down the winding road
Just simply knock, the door will open
There is a house that mercy built
There is a place where brokenness is healed
There is a voice saying peace be still
There is a house that mercy built
Mercy will find you
Though you've given up
In the middle of what seems like nowhere
He'll shelter you beneath his wing
His love will cover every need
Just simply seek and you will find
There is a house that mercy built
There is a place where emptiness is filled
There is a voice saying peace be still
There is a house that mercy built
There is a house that mercy built
With blood and tears
We've nothing left to fear
We live in grace
Here in the safe embrace of god
The mercy of god
There is a house that mercy built
There is a place where grace has
Been revealed
There is a voice saying peace be still
There is a house that mercy built
Rest in the hope
Rest in the peace
There is a house that mercy built

9. _ What's He Gonna Say About Me
Words & music by doyle tallent, becky thurman & geoff thurman
Now and then i must admit
I hide behind my shallowness
I must confess i don't begin to say enough
I'll tell you of my lessons learned
But i may never quite express
That god blessed me far beyond
What i deserve
I often miss the chance to show my
Faith in him
By failing to convey what i have seen
And then i wonder while i face eternity
How jesus ever finds a way to intercede
For me
(chorus)
What's he gonna say about me
When he weighs the works that
I have done
Against the words that i have
Failed to speak
What's he gonna say about me
When the chaff is sifted from the wheat
Will there be evidence that i believed
What's he gonna say about me
After this lifetime will come
The thankfulness that i forget
I will regret when i see clearly who he is
Then i'll know all i should have said
So i must choose to not neglect
But resurrect the praise for all he is to me
I often miss the chance to show my faith in him
By failing to convey what i have seen
And then i wonder while i face eternity
How jesus ever finds a way to intercede
For me, oh
(repeat chorus)
If i confess him before men
He will confess me before the
Father in heaven
(repeat chorus)

10. _ The Love He Has For You
Words by dave clark & shelley phillips music by john mandeville
When you're living for the love of
A lifetime
You wonder if the waiting will ever end
And the right from the wrong
That you've guarded so long
Is closer that it's ever been
But sometimes a moment of weakness
Can sacrifice the treasure of time
And cause you to miss the miracle
That god longs for you to find
(chorus)
There's a love he has for you
There's a heart that he's been saving
There's a joy beyond all measure
That only comes from waiting
There's a love he has for you
It's more than the hope you're holding to
And you will find the only love that's true
Is the love he has for you
When you're torn between today
And tomorrow
And holding out for something you
Cannot see
There's a strength you can find
Knowing in god's own time
You'll discover what he meant to be
'cause love like the father intended
Is more than just a state of the heart
So don't give up hope in the holding on
'cause no matter who you are
(repeat chorus)

11. _ Without The Love Of Jesus
Words by robert sterling music by john mandeville
Some think it all comes down to
Fate and circumstance
Life falls somewhere between
Accident and chance
Some seek solutions to the problems
They face
By hoping maybe someday, somehow
It will all fall in place
We keep persisting
Still something is missing
(chorus)
Without the love of jesus
The stars wouldn't shine
Rivers wouldn't run
And hearts beat out of time
Without the love of jesus
Tell me where would we be?
Lost on a lonely sea
Without the love of jesus
There's so much more to life than meets
The naked eye
It's no coincidence, no matter how we try
When we try to deny what we
Don't understand
Maybe that's when we fail to see god's
Providential hand
We keep persisting
Still something is missing
(repeat chorus)
It shouldn't take us a miracle
Before we finally see
That jesus' love is the only thing
That we will ever need
(repeat chorus)
