Once Again (written by Lauren Mickler)

Everywhere I look I see a face uplifted by Your hand

A broken heart mended by Your love

The downcast of the world now clothed in righteousness

The testimony of their lives now says…

(Chorus:)

Look what He's done!

See what He's healed!

Oh how these wounds have been made whole!

Look at the fields—

See the great fruit!

Oh how He's proved Himself faithful once again….once again!

It is our God who does these things

This is the One we serve

And He who began a good work in us will finish it

Though the world may not understand—the changed lives, the mended hearts—

As we live for our King, the song of our lives will sing…

(Bridge:)
My heart anticipates all You'll do in the coming years

And with each new miracle, we'll lift our hands and say…

I Will Not Fear (written by Micah Burgess, Maranatha's sister)

When I sit in darkness,

the Lord shall be a light unto me. (Repeat)

I will not fear

No, I will not fear

For the Lord is my Light and my Defender

I will not fear

No, I will not fear

For the Lord is my Light

Hope for Tommorrow (written by Benjamin Chapman & Lauren Mickler)
You have found a place where you belong
A place where fear and doubt just melt away
So open your heart to the One who really loves you
He will always be here

Oh His love will never go

He is your hope for tomorrow
Your strength for today; the Giver of Life
He is the One you can put your trust in
The One that you can lean on
He holds you close to His side

So no more worry that you will be alone
He is a Father who's arms never fade
So pull down the walls of self-protection
And let His love pour in, just lift your heart and say...

You are my hope for tomorrow
My strength for today; the Giver of Life
You are the One I can put my trust in
The One that I can lean on
You hold me close to Your side

Together we lift our hands
Together we lift our hearts
We look into Your eyes and say...

You are our hope for tomorrow
Our strength for today; the Giver of Life
You are the One we can put our trust in
The One that we can lean on
You hold us close to Your side

Pain is but a Moment (written by Benjamin Chapman and Lauren Mickler)

Pain is but a moment

But the joy is now forever

Though the trials come from every side

We will keep one vision

We will keep one goal

We will press on "in the now"

Fear has no place in me

Doubt has no part of me

For I will find my faith in the Lord

For He is worthy of trust

I can taste the sweetness of Your life

And I can feel Your Spirit here right now... right now

We Bless You (written by Maranatha Chapman)
We bless You

We love You

We lift up our hands to You, Lord

We praise You

Lord, we thank You

We lift up our voice and say…

You are Almighty God, Powerful,
Most Holy One, Our King.
You are Unshakeable, Wonderful,
The Only True God, Our King.

You Have Been Faithful (written by Maranatha Chapman)

Only You can move great mountains,

Only You can calm the sea.

Only You can help the wounded,
Only You can make blind eyes see.

(Chorus:)
You have been faithful.
You have been faithful.
You have been faithful.
You have been faithful.

You have been the One to deliver us,

You have been the One who's strong,

You have been the One with true comfort,

You have been our lasting song.

You have been before and behind us,

You have ordered all our steps.

We rejoice in what You have brought us,

In Your provision we can rest.

(Bridge:)

And no matter has happened,

And no matter what will come,

My song will always be the same.

You're the One who gets the glory,

You're the only One who deserves our praise.

You're the only One worth serving,

You're the One to Whom our hands we raise.

Simeon's Song (from Luke 2:25-30, written by Maranatha Chapman)
I have a stirring… A deep desire…

One that's hard to explain

But it feels like my heart's on fire.

I will not rest… I will not bend my knee…

Until I see Jesus

This is the deepest thing in me.

I want to see
I want to know

I want to experience all that You have.
Do what You want

Lord, take it all

All I know is that I don't want to leave this earth
Until I've truly seen You.

Race of Unseen Treasure (written by Micah Burgess, Maranatha's sister)

Laying down all comfort

Not seeking escape

Choosing to walk in Your grace

Embracing all my trials

Accepting I am weak

Trusting my Savior

Who's gone before Me

(Chorus:)

This race of unseen treasure

Has captured my heart

The King whose eyes are loving

Are cheering me on

With saints and angels singing

The song of victory

I'm one with Christ, my Jesus

My faith is strengthening

Take My Breath Away (written by Amelia Hanks, Maranatha's sister)
I deserve to be left in darkness
I deserve to be cast out in the fire

I deserve to be lost and never found

I deserve the fury in Your eyes

(Chorus:)

Lord, You take my breath away each time You're kind to me

Lord, You take my breath away each time You show mercy

Lord, You take my breath away each time You show me Your love

Oh Lord, You take my breath away

I deserve a deaf ear to my longings

I deserve to be left all alone
I deserve to live in unmet hunger

I deserve the wrath of Your hand

But You did not leave me in darkness

You pulled me out of the fire

Yes, You find me when I'm lost

You reach out Your gentle hand to mine

It was God (written by Maranatha Chapman)

When I first met you I saw a scared and lonely child

Like a thrown-out plant dying, with brown withered leaves

You needed so much water in your heart that was so dry

It was Jesus—yes, Jesus heard your cry

(Chorus:)

It was God who snatched you up, out of the raging sea

It was my Sovereign Lord who unwound your heart completely

It was my sweet Savior who delivered you from death and darkness

My Redeemer rescued you, my Redeemer rescued you

It has been a privilege, a joy, to help nurture you

Watching you take in love and seeing you finally believe

It makes me want to cry and sometimes laugh for my heart overflows

Cause of our Healer—our gentle Healer has brought you to life

As I watch you grow I'm struck by your beautiful green leaves

No longer struggling to live but bearing abundant fruit

And the truth I want to proclaim is that you never have to go back

Because our Bridegroom paid for you with His very life

You never have to be alone; you never have to live shut down

He is the Master Gardener and He will give you what you need

Jesus will heal every memory and all the shame you still feel sometimes

Oh how He loves you—you are His treasure, His precious one

Pour Out Your Holy Spirit (written by Joseph Dappen, music by Maranatha Chapman)

Everything I am

To Thee, Lord, I offer

You have molded me

A willing clay vessel

That this world can't fill

I was made to hold only You

(Chorus:)

Pour out Your Holy Spirit

Until I overflow

I am so fragile

If dropped, I will break

Hold me in Your tender hands

You are big enough

And You are strong enough

You alone are worthy of my praise

Not of this World (written by Maranatha Chapman)
(Chorus:)

Well, I'm not of this world

And I never will be

For my Jesus, my Jesus,

Has set me free (repeat)

He has drawn me to Himself

And I'll never look away

He's redeemed all of my past

And I will live in Him today

I proclaim: "I'm bought, I'm owned!"

I rejoice that I can sing

That my Master is my friend

And I've given everything

Everything this world can offer

Will only lead me to a wide path

Away from Jesus I'm in love with

To the arms of death and wrath

I proclaim: "I'm bought, I'm owned!"

I rejoice that I can sing

That my Master is my friend

And I've given everything

I Want to be Broken (written by Maranatha Chapman)
Sometimes I have to remind myself that life's not about me

It's not for my pleasure, Lord, but only for Yours

But as my legs get tired from standing and my faith starts to wane

I renew my mind that I've been set apart and only what's of Christ will remain

I want to be broken

I want to be open

I want to be wide awake and ready for Your return

I want to be fervent

I want to be your servant

I want to be used up and ready for Your return

Our stay on earth is not very long

We're here today, gone tomorrow

So why do we let the distractions down here consume all our time?

Well I, for one, will not get cozy making all this my home

Have Thine Own Way (written by Adelaide Pollard, musical arrangement by Maranatha Chapman)
Have Thine own way, Lord

Have Thine own way

Thou art the Potter

I am the clay
Mold me and make me
After Thy will
While I am waiting
Yielded and still

Set apart and holy.

Our desire is to be

A place for You to dwell intimately.

(Chorus:)
We're a people who are hungry
And who are seeking,
A people who are following wholehearted after You.
We're a people who've forsaken
All this world has offered.
A people who are in love with their beautiful Groom.

We confess we have nothing,

But You, oh Lord, are our strength.

We confess we have nothing.

And it's only by faith that we can sing.

I Am Just One Small Stone (written by Micah Burgess, Maranatha's sister)

I am just one small stone

In the church, in the temple

Running my race

So The King may have His bride

To see the unseen

And know the freedom

Of this reality...

That my life is not my own

My life is not my own

But set apart for the Kingdom of God
