This is no time for fear
This is a time for faith and determination
Don’t lose the vision here
Carried away by the motion
Hold on to all that you hide in your heart
There is one thing that has always been true
It holds the world together
God is in control
We believe that His children will not be forsaken
God is in control
We will choose to remember and never be shaken
There is no power above or beside Him, we know
God is in control
History marches on
There is a bottom line drawn across the ages
Culture can make its plan
Oh, but the line never changes
No matter how the deception may fly
There is one thing that has always been true
It will be true forever
He has never let you down
Why start to worry now? (2x)
He is still the Lord of all we see
And He is still the loving Father
Watching over you and me
Lately I’ve been winning
Battles left and right
But even winners can get
Wounded in the fight
People say that I’m amazing
Strong beyond my years
But they don’t see inside of me
I’m hiding all the tears
They don’t know that
I go running home when I fall down
They don’t know Who picks me
Up when no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just a while
‘Cause deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child
Unafraid because His armor is the best
But even soldiers need a quiet place to rest
People say that I’m amazing
Never face retreat
But they don’t see the enemies
That lay me at His feet
They don’t know that I go
Running home when I fall down
They don’t know Who picks me
Up when no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just a while
‘Cause deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child
They don’t know that I go
Running home when I fall down
They don’t know Who picks me
Up when no one is around
I drop my sword and look up for a smile
‘Cause deep inside this armor
Deep inside this armor
Deep inside this armor
The Warrior is a Child
Courier valiant, bearing the flame
Messenger noble, sent in His name
Faster and harder, run through the night
Desperate relay, carry the light, carry the light
Runner when the road is long
Feel like giving in, but you’re hanging on
Oh runner, when the race is won
You will run into His arms
Obstacle ancient, chilling the way
Enemy wakened, stoking the fray
Still be determined, fearless and true
Lift high the standard, carry it through, carry it through
Runner when the road is long
Feel like giving in, but you’re hanging on
Oh runner, when the race is won
You will run into His arms
Mindful of many waiting to run
Destined to finish, what you’ve begun
Millions before you cheering you on
Godspeed dear runner, carry it home, carry it home
Runner when the road is long
Feel like giving in, but you’re hanging on
Oh runner, when the race is won
You will run into His arms
Runner when the road is long
Feel like giving in, but you’re hanging on
Oh runner, when the race is won
You will run into His arms
The joy of the Lord will be my strength
I will not falter, I will not faint
He is my Shepherd, I am not afraid
The joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy of the Lord
The joy of the Lord
The joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy of the Lord will be my strength
He will uphold me all of my days
I am surrounded by mercy and grace
And the joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy of the Lord
The joy of the Lord
The joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy of the Lord
The joy of the Lord
The joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy of the Lord will be my strength
And I will not waiver, walking by faith
He will be strong to deliver me safe
And the joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy of the Lord
The joy of the Lord
The joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy of the Lord
The joy of the Lord
The joy of the Lord is my strength
I’m singing the joy of the Lord
The joy of the Lord
The joy of the Lord is my strength
The joy of the Lord
Well, the joy of the Lord
The joy of the Lord is my strength

And King of the heavens
Before there was time
And King of all kings You will be
Faster now than ever, I run to You
Now I know You better, I run to You
I am a little older now, You know it’s true
May be a little wiser too, I run to You
And I can see deeper than I did before
I do believe, never have I been so sure
That I need You every minute, every day
That I need You more than I could ever say
Ooh, I run to You
Ooh, what else would I do?
I run to You
Ooh, I run to You, ooh
Even on the sad days, I run to You
Even on the good days too, I run to You
Even before all else fails, You know it’s true
You are the wind in my sails, I run to You
And I can see deeper than I did before
I do believe, never have I been so sure
That I need You every footstep all the way
That I need You so much more than I can say
Ooh, I run to You
Ooh, what else would I do?
I run to You
Ooh, I run to You, ooh
Ooh, I run to You
Ooh, what else would I do?
I run to You
Ooh, I run to You, ooh
Ooh, I run to You
Ooh, what else would I do?
I run to You
Ooh, I run to You, ooh
I said I belong to You
But in a secret room, I kept a secret list
I said, “Anything for You”
“Anything but this, anything but this”
You knew it all along
You knew it very well
You knew the sturdy walls I hid behind
Were nothing but a prison cell
I am not afraid anymore
You have opened all the windows
Opened all the doors
I am not afraid anymore
I feel the wind of freedom like I never did before
The light is filling up the corners
Dancing on the floor
I am not afraid anymore
You have always been the same
I ran away from You
I ran away from You
Every time You called my name
I tried to hide the truth
I tried to hide the truth
You knew it all along
You knew it very well
You knew the more I covered up my heart
The more I didn’t know myself
I am not afraid anymore
You have opened all the windows
Opened all the doors
I am not afraid anymore
I feel the wind of freedom like I never did before
The light is filling up the corners
Dancing on the floor
I am not afraid anymore
No room for fear
No room, no room
No room for fear
Perfect love is living here
I am not afraid anymore
You have opened all the windows
Opened all the doors
I am not afraid anymore
I feel the wind of freedom like I never did before
The light is filling up the corners
Dancing on the floor
I am not afraid anymore
How beautiful the hands that served
the wine and the bread
and the sons of the earth.
How beautiful the feet that walked
the long dusty roads
and the hills to the cross.
How beautiful
how beautiful
how beautiful is the body of Christ.
How beautiful the heart that bled
that took all my sin
and bore it instead.
How beautiful the tender eyes
that chose to forgive
and never despise.
How beautiful
how beautiful
how beautiful is the body of Christ.
And as He laid down His life
we offer this sacrifice
that we will live just as he died:
willing to pay the price
willing to pay the price.
How beautiful the radient Bride
who waits for her Groom
with His light in her eyes.
How beautiful when humble hearts give
the fruit of pure lives
so that others may live.
How beautiful
how beautiful
how beautiful is the body of Christ.
How beautiful the feet that bring
the sound of good news
and the love of the King.
How beautiful the hands that serve
the wine and the bread
and the sons of the earth.
How beautiful
how beautiful
how beautiful is the body of Christ.
We close our eyes and wonder how much longer
The earth can hold the tears of all its children
We wonder what became of Eden
While we live in the garden we have grown
But there will be hope when we finally understand
We were never meant to make it on our own
The time is now
To hear the call
From the Father of creation
Comes an answer for us all
The time is here
The time for you
If you seek, then you will find Him
And the moment that you do
Seal your heart with a sacred vow
The time is now
We look ahead and try to face the future
But find we have no heart for this tomorrow
There is a vision that is brighter
And if we will believe, it’s not too late
For every decision becomes a destination
And today we face a choice that cannot wait
The time is now
To hear the call
From the Father of creation
Comes an answer for us all
The time is here
The time for you
If you seek, then you will find Him
And the moment that you do
Seal your heart with a sacred vow
Now is the time and today is the day
Now is the time and we cannot delay
This is the moment and this is the place
For the mercy, the power, the love, and the grace
The time is now
To hear the call
From the Father of creation
Comes an answer for us all
The time is here
The time for you
If you seek, then you will find Him
And the moment that you do
Seal your heart with a sacred vow
The time is now
The time is now
Now is the time and today is the day
Now is the time and we cannot delay
Now is the time and today is the day
Now is the time and we cannot delay
Now is the time and we cannot delay
Your only Son, no sin to hide
But You have sent Him from Your side
To walk upon this guilty sod
And to become the Lamb of God
Your gift of love, they crucified
They laughed and scorned Him as He died
The humble King, they named a fraud
And sacrificed the Lamb of God
Oh, Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God
I love the holy Lamb of God
Oh, wash me in His precious blood
My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God
I was so lost, I should have died
But You have brought me to Your side
To be led by Your staff and rod
And to be called a lamb of God
Oh, Lamb of God, sweet Lamb of God
I love the holy Lamb of God
Oh, wash me in His precious blood
My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God
Oh, wash me in His precious blood
My Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God
My lips will praise You
For You are holy
My voice will ever
Rise before Your throne
My heart will love You
For You are lovely
And You have called me
To become Your own
I am Your own
And I will worship You alone
I am Your own
I am Your child
I am Your own
And I will worship at Your throne
I am Your own
And I will love You
My lips will praise You
For You are holy
My voice will ever
Rise before Your throne
My heart will love You
For You are lovely
And You have called me
To become Your own
And You have called me
To become Your own
