DEATH OF ME(Tauren Wells, Michael Fordinal)
This is the death of me, ohThe death of me, ohThe death of me, ohThe death of me, oh
Lost, I was wandering aroundHoping I could ind a placeId be more than just a face in the crowdI heard one day You cameTurned the lost into the savedNow Youre showing me the wayAll along Ive been believing I was living
But now that Im free I inally seeLivings worth dying forBuried with YouYoure making me new The old man's dead and goneThis is the death of me, ohThe death of me, ohThe death of me, ohThe death of me, oh
Your words were just ink on a pageAlways so hard to believeUntil You revealed to me thatYour love stepped into the worldNow my past has been erasedCause You saved me with Your grace, Your graceAll along Ive been believing I was living
No more holding on to all my secretsNo more living with these broken piecesNow my lifes been changedToday is a new dayAnd Ill never be the sameNo, no, no

MAKE A MOVE(Tauren Wells, Blake Hubbard, Chuck Butler, Tony Wood)
Mr. Good Intentions, so much I wanna doMy mouth just keeps on runningBut I never follow throughI heard that true religion is love with hands and feetI wanna ind my own wayTo reach a world in needIve been captured by the unimportantLocked in and now its time to break free
Theres more to lifeOpen my eyesSomeone is needing youSo I gotta make a move
What good are wordsWhen this world hurtsReal faith will come throughWhen I make a move
We dont need permission to go outside of these doorsAnd dream some crazy dreamNo one else has dreamed beforeTo show love and compassionWhatever way it may beTo put faith into actionDo more than just believeWe are hope to those who have been brokenWe were made to make a difference
Ive been captured by the unimportantLocked in and now its time to break freeNow its time to break free

This world is ra raIn a bad romance, going ga gaYou know were gettin played by the love gameAnd hypnotized by all the fameBut I believe we cant back down from the ightIts not okay with me to just be silentWont be silent, silent
No, we wont let them take controlWe wont go with the lowWeve got to stand togetherIts all plastic and I cant be a fakeIts all static, every word that they sayWe wont let them take controlWont let them take control
Life is short, baby tik tokAint got no time for your blah blah (nah nah nah)Cause girl we dont need your drugNo, no, we dont what youre calling loveCause I believe that youre either yes or noYoure hot or coldNo teenage dream could ever be worth your soulNever worth your soul
Burn like a ireShine like a diamondSee a lash when I smileBrighter than KanyesComes to the heartGotta guard what we buyinCant you see they all got you tryinTo fall in love with your stereoSo they control what you think and everywhere you goBut greater is He who lives inside of we knowHe wont lose ightThats right

LOVE IS HERE(Tauren Wells)
Henry, youve been waiting and now this day has arrivedWhy did it take the rock bottom to make you realizeWhat youve been missing is something thats very valuableA timeless gift that will ease your mind and rapture your soulLook with your heart, not your eyes, youll see the miracleThat hope is here and its making itself availableThis is your chanceIf you miss it then you may miss it all Its critical
Love is here (no matter where you are)Love is here (you cant escape your heart)Love is here (its more than we deserve)Love is here (you keep hearing these words)Love is here, love is here, love is here
Faith is waiting and hoping that in time youll arriveAnd though youre walking and breathingHenry, youre not aliveYou know that this way is not the way you were meant to liveWhy do you hold yourself back when you have so much to giveAnd though you run awayMercy can see your every moveIt follows you
And though you run awayMercy can see your every moveIt follows you
Love is here, love is here, love is hereNo, you dont have to look no moreNo, you dont have to look no moreLove like you never felt beforeLove like you never felt before
Love is hereHell never leave, leave you aloneHes all you need, His love will be here
