If you've been walkin' the same old road for miles and miles
If you've been hearin' the same old voice tell the same old lies
If you're tryin' to fill the same old holes inside
There's a better life
There's a better life
If you've got pain
He's a pain taker
If you feel lost
He's a way maker
If you need freedom or savin'
He's a prison-shaking Savior
If you've got chains
He's a chain breaker
We've all searched for the light of day in the dead of night
We've all found ourself worn out from the same old fight
We've all run to things we know just ain't right
And there's a better life
There's a better life
If you've got pain
He's a pain taker
If you feel lost
He's a way maker
If you need freedom or savin'
He's a prison-shaking Savior
If you've got chains
Oh, He's a chain breaker
If you believe it
If you receive it
If you can feel it
Somebody testify
If you believe it
If you receive it
If you can feel it
Somebody testify, testify
If you believe it
If you receive it
If you can feel it
Somebody testify
If you've got pain
He's a pain taker
If you feel lost
He's a way maker
If you need freedom or savin'
He's a prison-shaking Savior
If you've got chains
He's a chain breaker
Oh, if you need freedom or savin'
He's a prison-shaking Savior
If you've got chains
Oh, He's a chain breaker

Old Church Choir
There's revival and it's spreading
Like a wildfire in my heart
A Sunday morning, Hallelujah
And it's lasting all week long
Can you hear it?
Can you feel it?
It's the rhythm of a gospel song
Oh, once you choose it, you can't lose it
There ain't nothing, there ain't nothing gonna steal my joy
I got an Old Church Choir singing in my soul
I've got a sweet salvation and it's beautiful
I've got a heart overflowing 'cause I've been restored
There ain't nothing gonna steal my joy
No, there ain't nothing gonna steal my joy
When the valleys that I wander
Turn to mountains that I can't climb
Oh, You are with me, never leave me
Oh, 'cause there ain't nothing, there ain't nothing gonna steal my joy
I got an Old Church Choir singing in my soul
I've got a sweet salvation and it's beautiful
I've got a heart overflowing 'cause I've been restored
There ain't nothing gonna steal my joy
No, there ain't nothing gonna steel my joy
(Oh-oh oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh oh-oh-oh, oh-oh oh-oh-oh)
Clap your hands and stomp your feet
'Til you find that gospel beat
'Cause it's all you'll ever need, all you'll ever need
Clap your hands and stomp your feet
'Til you find that gospel beat
'Cause it's all you'll ever need
All you'll ever need
I've got an Old Church Choir, singing in my soul
I got a sweet salvation and it's beautiful
I've got an Old Church Choir singing in my soul
I've got a sweet salvation and it's beautiful
I've got a heart overflowing 'cause I've been restored
There ain't nothing gonna steal my joy
No, there ain't nothing gonna steal my joy
Oh, there ain't nothing gonna steal my joy
Like a wildfire in my heart
A Sunday morning, Hallelujah
And it's lasting all week long
Can you hear it?
Can you feel it?
It's the rhythm of a gospel song
Oh, once you choose it, you can't lose it
There ain't nothing, there ain't nothing gonna steal my joy
I got an Old Church Choir singing in my soul

Survivor
For so long I carried the weight of my past
Cripple by burdens like stones on my back
I thought I had fallen too far from your grace
But you came and showed me the way
When I was lost soul searching
You were the ground beneath my feet
When I was blind man begging
You were the eyes so I could see
When the smoke was rising up
You were the air that I could breath
You gave me hope you gave me something to believe
Now I'm alive and born again
Rescued from the grip of sin
God your love came crashing in
And pulled me out of the fire
I'm a survivor
Now all I can see are the fields of your grace
Wherever I run your leading the way
You shook the shackles off my feet
I found redemption on my knees
You gave me hope you gave me something to believe
Now I'm alive and born again
Rescued from the grip of sin
God your love came crashing in
And pulled me out of the fire
I'm a survivor
Oh I'm a survivor
You're my God
You're my fighter
You make me a survivor
Now I'm alive and born again
Rescued from the grip of sin
God your love came crashing in
And pulled me out of the fire
I'm a survivor
Oh I'm a survivor
You pulled me out of the fire
I'm a survivor
Cripple by burdens like stones on my back
I thought I had fallen too far from your grace
But you came and showed me the way
When I was lost soul searching
You were the ground beneath my feet
When I was blind man begging
You were the eyes so I could see
When the smoke was rising up
You were the air that I could breath
You gave me hope you gave me something to believe
Now I'm alive and born again
Rescued from the grip of sin
God your love came crashing in
And pulled me out of the fire
I'm a survivor
Now all I can see are the fields of your grace
Wherever I run your leading the way
You shook the shackles off my feet
I found redemption on my knees
You gave me hope you gave me something to believe
Now I'm alive and born again
Rescued from the grip of sin
God your love came crashing in
And pulled me out of the fire
I'm a survivor
Oh I'm a survivor
You're my God
You're my fighter
You make me a survivor
Now I'm alive and born again
Rescued from the grip of sin
God your love came crashing in
And pulled me out of the fire
I'm a survivor
Oh I'm a survivor
You pulled me out of the fire
I'm a survivor

To the Table
Hear the voice of love that's calling
There's a chair that waits for you
And a Friend who understands
Everything you're going through
But you keep standing at a distance
In the shadow of your shame
There's a light of hope that's shining
Won't you come and take your place
And bring it all to the table
There's nothing He ain't seen before
For all your fear, all your sorrow and your sadness
There's a Savior and He calls
Bring it all to the table
He can see the weight you carry
The fears that hold your heart
But through the cross you've been forgiven
You're accepted as you are
So bring it all to the table
There's nothing He ain't seen before
For all your trials, all your worries and your burdens
There's a Savior and He calls
Bring it all to the table
Bring it all
You can bring it all
And come on in, take your place
There's no one who's turned away
All you sinners, all you saints
Come right in and find your grace
Come on in, take your place
There's no one who's turned away
All you sinners, all you saints
Come right in and find your grace
And bring it all to the table
There's nothing He ain't seen before
For all your sin, all your sorrow and your sadness
There's a Savior and He calls
Bring it all to the table
There's a chair that waits for you
And a Friend who understands
Everything you're going through
But you keep standing at a distance
In the shadow of your shame
There's a light of hope that's shining
Won't you come and take your place
And bring it all to the table

Song of Deliverance
Hard times and high waters
On the road that I have wandered
Bridges left burning
A lot of dead-end learning
Stone walls, I've built up
Trapped by the way I've been livin'
I don't wanna be a prisoner
I don't wanna be a prisoner
I will sing a song of deliverance
I will lift my hands and drop these chains
Walk out free in Jesus name
I will sing a song of deliverance
Whoa, Hallelujah
Whoa-ho, I am free
Get behind me, satan
No more fear and no more shame
My debts been paid
I am no longer your slave
I will sing a song of deliverance
I will lift my hands and drop these chains
Walk out free in Jesus name
I will sing a song of deliverance
Whoa, Hallelujah
Whoa-ho, I am free
Oh you know I am free
Hey, I don't wanna be a prisoner
I will sing a song of deliverance
I will lift my hands and drop these chains
Walk out free in Jesus name
I will sing a song of deliverance
Whoa, Hallelujah
Whoa-ho, I am free
Oh you know I am free
On the road that I have wandered
Bridges left burning
A lot of dead-end learning
Stone walls, I've built up
Trapped by the way I've been livin'
I don't wanna be a prisoner
I don't wanna be a prisoner
I will sing a song of deliverance
I will lift my hands and drop these chains
Walk out free in Jesus name
I will sing a song of deliverance
Whoa, Hallelujah
Whoa-ho, I am free
Get behind me, satan
No more fear and no more shame
My debts been paid
I am no longer your slave
I will sing a song of deliverance
I will lift my hands and drop these chains

Fear Is a Liar
When he told you you're not good enough
When he told you you're not right
When he told you you're not strong enough
To put up a good fight
When he told you you're not worthy
When he told you you're not loved
When he told you you're not beautiful
That you'll never be enough
Fear, he is a liar
He will take your breath
Stop you in your steps
Fear he is a liar
He will rob your rest
Steal your happiness
Cast your fear in the fire
'Cause fear he is a liar
When he told you were troubled
You'll forever be alone
When he told you you should run away
You'll never find a home
When he told you you were dirty
And you should be ashamed
When he told you you could be the one
That grace could never change
Fear he is a liar
He will take your breath
Stop you in your steps
Fear he is a liar
He will rob your rest
Steal your happiness
Cast your fear in the fire
'Cause fear he is a liar
Let Your fire fall and cast out all my fears
Let Your fire fall Your love is all I feel
Let Your fire fall and cast out all my fears
Let Your fire fall Your love is all I feel
Let Your fire fall and cast out all my fears
Let Your fire fall Your love is all I feel
Oh, let Your fire fall and cast out all my fears
Let Your fire fall Your love is all I feel
Oh, fear he is a liar
He will take your breath
Stop you in your steps
Fear he is a liar
He will rob your rest
Steal your happiness
Cast your fear in the fire
'Cause fear he is a liar
'Cause fear he is a liar
When he told you you're not right
When he told you you're not strong enough
To put up a good fight
When he told you you're not worthy
When he told you you're not loved

Everything Changed
I was a dead man walking
Digging my own grave
Nowhere to turn bridges burn
Throwing my life away
I was a rebel running
Until I found my end
Right at the place
I heard your grace
Say I could start again
Everything changed
When I fell on my knees
Everything changed
When your love rescued me
From reckless and wild
To faith like a child
I was never the same
Everything changed
Rose up from the water
Free from my sin
Eyes open wide
Hands lifted high
Oh I was born again
I am free forever
Won't turn back no never
I was lost but now I'm found
Digging my own grave
Nowhere to turn bridges burn
Throwing my life away
I was a rebel running
Until I found my end
Right at the place
I heard your grace
Say I could start again
Everything changed
When I fell on my knees
Everything changed
When your love rescued me
From reckless and wild
To faith like a child
I was never the same
Everything changed
Rose up from the water
Free from my sin
Eyes open wide
Hands lifted high
Oh I was born again
I am free forever
Won't turn back no never
I was lost but now I'm found
