New Years eve, and this is what I see Staring at these faces staring back at me Sometimes insecure, but I know your love is pure I am broken -- mend me Over backwards -- bending For the love you're sending All the places that I've been Still I can't escape this life of sin What I want to do I don't do And what I do I don't want to do I am broken -- mend me Over backwards -- bending For the love you're sending Days have come and days have gone And still I'm under seige Every day decisions made for which side to allege Sometimes I just sit and cry for words I can't erase All I have in this world is the promise of your grace I am broken -- mend me Over backwards -- bending For the love you're sending I am broken -- mend me Over backwards -- bending For the love you're sending I am broken -- mend me I am broken -- mend me I am broken -- mend me |

Don't know where to begin or how to explain This feeling within, there it goes again Just a moment ago I said I wouldn't believe Ah, but you touched my soul And now I couldn't conceive All the things you did just to get through Looking back on my life now it's clear to me How you led me to this place So dear to me Even though it seemed all of the sudden It's been a long time comin' Signs of danger, I can recall Kind words from a stranger seemed like nothing at all People been praying from my childhood to youth Then there's that man who just told me the truth All the things you did just to get through Looking back on my life now it's clear to me How you led me to this place So dear to me Even though it seemed all of the sudden It's been a long time comin' You've brought me this far.

Come on Some people crazy; don't understand There ain't no reason in the heart of man They try and tell me you don't exist They are mistaken; I must insist 'Cause you brought me through the shadow of death How could you love me and still have any left When I've fallen short When I've gone too far Everywhere I go, you are Used to have a soul; used to have a need An appetite for you, Lord, that lived to feed Some men are hungry and strongly willed But at your table I have been filled 'Cause you brought me through the shadow of death How could you love me and still have any left When I've fallen short When I've gone too far Everywhere I go, you are You are in my daytime You are in my night You are everything I need My Lord and my delight Straight out of heaven into my heart And now I know, yeah, we'll never part 'Cause you brought me through the shadow of death How could you love me and still have any left When I've fallen short When I've gone too far Everywhere I go, you are When I've fallen short When I've gone too far Everywhere I go, you are |
If loving God was a crime, I'd be an outlaw I would join the fight They could not shut me down I would stand tall for what I know is right Would you stand with me for the world to see When all is on the line Would you be ashamed of Jesus' name If loving God was a crime The school room, I hear, teaches choices To kids who cannot pray And the unborn, I fear, they have no voice In politics today Would you stand with me for the world to see When all is on the line Would you be ashamed of Jesus' name If loving God was a crime Take a look around What will tomorrow hold It's time to stand our ground We must be bold We must be bold If loving God was a crime, I'd be an outlaw And I would join the fight Will you stand with me for the world to see When all is on the line Will you be ashamed of Jesus' name When loving God is a crime When loving God is a crime When loving God is a crime When loving God is a crime When loving God is a crime I'd be an outlaw When loving God is a crime When loving God is a crime |
