"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up.  And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.  We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith." Hebrews 12:2

Are you focused on what you should be focused on?

[song starts with simple beat (heart beat)]

Verse 1

I started my life

A lot like this melody.

Just a heartbeat

And a hope

That life might have a purpose.

I didn’t know you,

Oh, but you knew me.

You knew me before time,

Counted the hairs on my head.

But most of all,

You were listening for me.

Chorus

You heard my prayer,

You heard me cry

You head me when I cursed Your name.

But through it all,

You never stopped listening to me.

Verse 2

Now, as I grew older,

I learned a lot of things.

The most special one of all

Was to learn about you.

I learned that all I had to do was call

And you’d be right there…

Listening

Chorus

Verse 3

So now I ask you, oh God

To help me through life,

Take me by the hand,

Lord, lead the way.

I’m down on my knees

Hands of surrender raised to you.

Lord, now I’m listening for you.

Chorus

Bridge

You could take forever

Or even just a moment,

All I long for…is you!

Chorus x2

Repeat Verse 3

Chorus

Phoenix

I was raised from the ashes
to become your servant
I'll dance and I'll sing
and I'll give my everything
You gave me new life,
saved me from my sin
I've been reborn,
like a mighty phoenix.

They said I"d never prosper
and that may be fact,
but one thing I know is this:

I was raised from the ashes
to become your servant
I'll dance and I'll sing
and I'll give my everything
You gave me new life,
saved me from my sin
I've been reborn,
like a mighty phoenix.

I was raised from the ashes
to become your servant
I'll dance and I'll sing
and I'll give my everything
You gave me new life,
saved me from my sin
I've been reborn,
like a mighty phoenix.

I bow my head and pray,
but there's no words I could say,
You're more beautiful than life
throughout every day and night.

I was raised from the ashes
to become your servant
I'll dance and I'll sing
and I'll give my everything
You gave me new life,
saved me from my sin
I've been reborn,
like a mighty phoenix.

I was raised from the ashes
to become your servant
I'll dance and I'll sing
and I'll give my everything
You gave me new life,
saved me from my sin
I've been reborn,
like a mighty phoenix.

Through your blood
I've been redeemed
For you are Holy

I was raised from the ashes
to become your servant
I'll dance and I'll sing
and I'll give my everything
You gave me new life,
saved me from my sin
I've been reborn,
like a mighty phoenix.

Optional Verse
I will now rise from the ashes
Don't call me pretentious
I'm living by yoru rules
and if I fall from your teachings
You'll be down there waiting to carry me

You Are Mine

Today I'm gonna praise,
And my hands I'm gonna raise.
Your name is so great,
I just can't wait.

Alpha, Omega, Father and Son
Holy Spirit and my Rock.
You're amazing and glorious
You're my Savior and my Lord.
The way, the truth, the life
You are love and my light.
God, you are mine.

In my time of trouble
and in my greatest joy,
You're always there.
You'll always be...

Alpha, Omega, Father and Son
Holy Spirit and my Rock.
You're amazing and glorious
You're my Savior and my Lord.
The way, the truth, the life
You are love and my light.
God, you are mine.

Oh God, You're my God
(Repeat)

Alpha, Omega, Father and Son
Holy Spirit and my Rock.
You're amazing and glorious
You're my Savior and my Lord.
The way, the truth, the life
You are love and my light.
God, you are mine.

Overlook Me

On your daily scan

Across all this great land,

You know what’ll happen,

You know who’ll become men.

Oh, and on that daily scan

Across this dear land,

I hope that You’ll see me

As I’m gazing up to You.

Please, God, don’t overlook me.

I kneel before my bed

And I bow my head.

“Oh, God, hear my cry.

I wanna live for You.

Just point me on my way

As I go throughout my day.

Dear Lord, I wanna be here

When You come again.

But please, God, don’t overlook me.”

“Forgive all my sin,

I give it all to You.

I sing my songs of praise

‘cause all I wanna do is say,

‘Please, God, don’t overlook me.’”

I can’t do it all alone,

It’s not possible for me.

I need some help in life,

I just wanna hear you say,

“Don’t overlook me, My Son.

I’m here for you always.

I’ve lived the life before

And I know you’ll be okay.

All you have to do is pray

And I’ll take care of you.”

Don’t overlook me, My Son

(Don’t overlook me, God)

I’m here for you always

(I need some help in life)

All you have to do is pray

(Lord, I give it all to you)

And I’ll take care of you

(As I’m gazing up to you)
