The wilderness and the dry land shall be glad; the desert shall rejoice and blossom like the crocus; it shall blossom abundantly and rejoice with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the majesty of wCarmel and xSharon. They shall see the glory of the Lord, the majesty of our God. Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees. Say to those who have an anxious heart, “Be strong; fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you.” Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped; then shall the lame man leap like a deer, and the tongue of the mute sing for joy. For waters break forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert; the burning sand shall become a pool, and the thirsty ground springs of water; in the haunt of jackals, where they lie down, the grass shall become reeds and rushes. And a highway shall be there, and it shall be called the Way of Holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it. It shall belong to those who walk on the way; even if they are fools, they shall not go astray. No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast come up on it; they shall not be found there, but the redeemed shall walk there. And the ransomed of the Lord shall return and come to Zion with singing; everlasting joy shall be upon their heads; they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Take Me Away 03:12
Take Me Away You take me away with you And I lose my way Back roads and mountains and cities And I find my way in you I find my way I go back to find my way always in You You are my mountain moving You are my calm on the waves You are my mountain beauty You So take me away with you And I'll lose my way Back roads and mountains and cities And I'll find my way in you I find my way I go back to find my way Always in you

Secret Place I know You know Even more than I do And I can you can Even more than I do Tell it to my heart I know And you know and i know it--It's just the way goes That's the way it goes Tell it to my heart And you know and I'll know And I know it That's the way it goes That's the way it goes What tears cry Groans don't lie I'm there And you there Even more than I know Your spirit And my soul Meet in my heart Tell it to my heart And I know And you'll know I know it--that's the way it goes That's the way it goes Meet in my heart Where you are And I am And I know it--that's the way it goes That's the way it goes What tears cry Groans don't lie

Trail 03:45
On a long dark forgotten trail Oh I found the tree of life Dusty broken lost and lonely there But I felt so alive A few towns find a city there No one cares or knows my name Stop awhile raise a family there But this world is not my home Help me understand You are my home in this world. I am not alone in this world. I am as You are in this world. I am not alone in this world. On a long dark forgotten trail Oh a shell of life is gone Growing up now I know, I am not alone

Everything inside my heart beating like a broken drum Beating inside my heart with no batteries on As the seasons come and go and everything's come and gone Everything inside my heart You already know I take it easy now And then I take it hard I take it to the dump ground again And then I dig it out You roll it up the flag pole, yeah You find it on the back row You walk it up the front row again And say it all again (loud and clear) You are faithful to me Your Word is alive for me today You are faithful Your Word is alive

At Calvary Years I spent in vanity and pride Caring not my Lord was crucified Knowing it not it was for me He died at Calvary Mercy there was great and grace was free Pardon there was multiplied to me There my burdened soul found liberty at Calvary By God's grace at last my sin I learned Then I trembled at the law I'd spurned til my guilty soul imploring turned to Calvary Oh the Love that drew salvation's plan Oh the grace that brought it down to man Oh the mighty gulf that God did span at Calvary
8.
I hear the Savior say, “Thy strength indeed is small; Child of weakness, watch and pray, Find in Me thine all in all.” Jesus paid it all, All to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain, He washed it white as snow For nothing good have I Whereby Thy grace to claim; I’ll wash my garments white In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb. And when before the throne I stand in Him complete, Jesus died my soul to save My lips shall still repeat.
9.
All my life I depended on myself It's too good to be true that you provide for me Spent my days tending all my fears And holding back the tears for the day to come when I would notice what you've already done Look what you provide for me First the law, revealing every sin Then the Lamb who took away all our sin Then the Spirit encouraging me to keep on believing the promise that you will finish what you began All my life I depended on myself It's too good to be true that you provide for me
10.
When I'm up and happy and singing all around me Seems I turn around feel the same old despair When I'm down and thinking nothing's happening for me Five minutes later my heart has a new song to sing So whatever is going on There's no way to judge it that's right My life is in Jesus! My life is in Jesus! When I'm out and successful or laying low with failure And I've done the right thing Or done the wrong Whatever I deserve No other judgement is right My life is in Jesus! My life is in Jesus!
