There's a battle within myself,
Lord help me to lose,
Through my loss, I will find myself,
I'd rather this than to lose you.
Am I just blind, am I a fool?
Why can't I see it and not perceive it?
Lord help me to understand,
Why your ways are so true.
So take this world from me,
The Christ it's you I seek,
Let me not forget,
The times you were there for me.
So there's this battle within myself,
This time I think I'll win,
Oh Lord, lead me to the battle,
Victorious I'll be.
So take this world from me,
The Christ it's you I seek,
May your name be glorified,
So others will see,
So others will see.

Battle
Saturday, November 11, 2006
Before and After
At times like these I try,
To mend it all inside,
By my own I keep falling down aside.
When my worlds collide,
Feel like giving up the fight,
Surrounded by the dark I try to hide.
You are near me now,
You are dear to me,
You are all I need,
You're everything to me.
The scarlet snow turns white,
All the stains are made bright,
So take my hand and show me the way.
The crimson rose nailed tight,
Forgiven, now I know why,
I'll put my cross now, I'm here to stay.
Never leave my side,
Precious one of mine,
I'll give you all of me,
I am yours to keep.
Remind me of the times,
Your gracious plans are made right,
In my life you restore my faith.
When things seemed to have gone wrong,
I'll put my trust in you,
Magnify your faithfulness.
Fill me with your love,
Find myself in you,
And I will follow you,
Jesus Christ my Lord, my Lord.

You Are
When the grass withers and the flowers fall,
And the wind blows and the whirlwind sweeps away,
My glory's all gone, gone with your breath,
You are the one I fear.
Surely I am like a drop in a bucket,
Nothing more than dust on scales,
Lift up my eyes, who made the skies?
You are the one I revere.
Do you not know? Have you not heard? Has it not been told?
You sit above all, above the earth and all enthroned,
To whom shall I compare to you?
You are my only hope.
When I'm tired and weak and out of breath,
It is you that I shall find new strength,
And I will soar, high like the eagles,
You are the one I trust.
You are the everlasting one,
The creator of all the earth,
Incomparable strength and with great power,
And I will soar with you.

In Your Name
It was that time,
When I went mine mine mine,
Unsatisfied,
without you in my whole life,
Now looking back,
At all the silly things that I regret,
Now you're with me,
Show me the way, let your will be done,
It's your love that satisfies,
No other, that makes me smile,
Compel us, with the love of Christ,
In your name, in your name, in your name.
I stand here before you,
Obedience is your delight,
In your name I will,
Tell everyone what you've done in my life.

My Heart Undone
Hear me now, my praise to You,
Humbly seek, to worship You,
I quiet my soul, I still my voice,
I bow before, my heart undone.
I close my eyes, begin to think,
The sacrifice, for saving me,
Amazing love was, truly free,
Glory to the Lord and King.
I love you, I need you
I want you, I adore you.

More than Conquerors
Call my name, I call Your name,
Let the wind whisper the sound of Your name,
Let me see the beauty of Your heart,
Till this day I know we will never be apart.
Neither death, neither life,
Neither angels, rulers,
Neither things within this life,
I can't escape, Your love surrounds me,
Oh no, we will never be apart.
Awake my heart,
Awake my soul,
Who shall separate us from,
The love from heaven above,
Because of You this I know,
We are more than conquerers.
There's no height, there's no depth,
In all creation, there is nothing that could keep,
You away, me from You,
You're the only one that will pull me through.

It's You
When I wake up,
And see the sun again,
Your love shines down on my face.
In silence,
Lord hear my prayer,
Thanking you for your saving grace.
And all I have I give to you,
Cause all I have is from you,
It's you who gave me life,
It's you who paid the price,
It's you who was glorified,
For the son was crucified,
It's you.

Conviction
I'm sitting here, thinking to myself,
What the future holds.
Questions and thoughts fill up my mind,
How I can be sure?
The body wants to go to the left,
But the mind wants to go to right,
Why I'm being torn.
Separation that once exists, the body that was broken for,
Relationship restored.
God of mine, release me,
From the chains of the world,
Spirit inside, live in me,
Let your truth be told, conviction.
I'm holding all these broken pieces,
Of a puzzle that I'm trying to put together,
There's a missing piece that I can't find,
Wondering if it's you, that I'm looking for.
And I will extend my hands,
To the one who gives it all,
All these broken pieces here,
You made it whole.

Because of You
Every night, I dream of you,
Every night, I think of you,
Every night, I read your words,
Because of you.
I see the stars, they shine so bright,
I see the birds, they're flying high,
I see creation, in a beautiful light,
Because of you.
And when I fall,
I'm falling deeper in love with you,
And when I'm down,
I'm down on my knees, in awe of you,
Cause I want to love you more,
Cause I want to be in awe,
You're the one in life,
The one I've been looking for.
Hear these words, I sing to you,
Tell me now, what should I do,
Let me hear, the sound of your name,
Because of you.
-Danny
