MercyMe - The First Time Lyrics

The First Time Songs The Hurt and The Healer  

The First Time Lyrics by MercyMe

Day after day
I try to explain You
Like I can contain You
In so many words

But You are the ocean
And I'm on the shoreline
Thinking I know You
Like You could be learned

It's so amazing
That You'd ever save me

CHORUS
I thought I knew Your face
I thought I'd tasted grace
But I've never felt anything close to this
Just when I'd seen it all
New mercy breaks the dawn
And with my eyes open wide
It feels like the first time

After all of my searching
And all of my reaching
I'm left with nothing
Nothing of worth

You treasure the broken
Over and over
Give me a hope
That can never be earned

It's still amazing
That You'd ever save me

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Your beauty
No eye has seen
Your majesty overwhelming
Your love for me
Is healing oh God

MercyMe - Best Of Me Lyrics

Best Of Me Songs The Hurt and The Healer  

 Best Of Me Lyrics by MercyMe

Why would I want to try and meet You half way
Why would I back down when there's still a fight in me
Why only give You what I hold in my hands
Why would I ever jump with nowhere to land
And why surrender if I won't go to my knees

CHORUS
I won't just give You the best of me
When You want You want my everything

Who am I to give You just the pretty things
Am I the same as the one who gives You nothing
What if nothing was what You chose to do
All because the cost was too much for You
I can't imagine where I would be

CHORUS
I won't just give You the best of me
When You want You want my everything
Won’t You come and take what’s left
And while You're here take the rest
I won't just give You the best of me

BRIDGE
Not just my heart
But my life too
I belong, I belong, I belong to You

MercyMe - Hold On Lyrics

Hold On Songs The Hurt and The Healer  

Hold On Lyrics by MercyMe

Ever have those times
When you feel so small
On a starry night
As you stand in awe

Have you climbed
To the mountain’s edge
And the world you find
Makes you catch your breath

CHORUS
If you think that this
Is the best that it can get
Oh the wonder of it is
You ain't seen nothing yet
Just hold on
Hold on

It's the butterflies
When she says I do
And a baby's cry
In a world brand new

It's the arms
That are holding you
And the moment when
All your dreams come true

CHORUS

BRIDGE
The sweetest sound
Yet to be heard
Still you know you want to hear it more
Oh we long
Long to return
To a home we've never seen before

MercyMe - Don't Give Up On Me Lyrics

Don't Give Up On Me Songs The Hurt and The Healer  

 Don't Give Up On Me Lyrics by MercyMe

Will You find me no matter where I am
Will You forgive time and time again
I feel like a child wondering
It's hard to believe to comprehend
That You would love me in the state I'm in

CHORUS
When I'm falling
When I'm falling down
When it's all stripped away
When my world comes crashing
Crashing down
Will You still be with me

Who am I You'd even say my name
Within the same the same breath as grace
You cross every bridge I have burned
You reach for me when it's undeserved

Wish I could see what You see in me

CHORUS

Oh don't give up on me
Oh don't give up on me

BRIDGE
Be still I'll never leave you
When you're far I am near
My grace will always be greater
Than the sum of all your fears

MercyMe - Take The Time Lyrics

Take The Time Songs The Hurt and The Healer  

Take The Time Lyrics by MercyMe

You can turn around and walk away
Tell yourself there's nothing here to see
Try so hard to look the other way
As if you haven't noticed anything

CHORUS
Do it to the least of these
Do it to Me
You gotta take the time
You gotta take the time

Shallow is the voice of no concern
Running through the bridges that we've burned
You can't even feel your own demise
So how can you pretend to lead the blind

CHORUS

I'm the hungry and the weak
Can you even see me
I'm the stranger all alone
Won't you welcome me home
I'm the naked and ashamed
Won't you look my way

You gotta take the time

You gotta take take take
Take the time

MercyMe - You Are I Am Lyrics

You Are I Am Songs The Hurt and The Healer  

You Are I Am Lyrics by MercyMe

I've been the one
To shake with fear
And wonder if
You're even here

I've been the one
To doubt Your love
I've told myself
You're not enough

I've been the one
To try and say
I'll overcome
By my own strength

I've been the one
To fall apart
And start to question
Who You are

CHORUS
You're the One who conquers giants
You're the One who calls out kings
You shut the mouths of lions
You tell the dead to breathe
You're the One who walks through fire
You take the orphan's hand
You are the One Messiah
You are I Am

I've been the one
Held down in chains
Beneath the weight
Of all my shame

I've been the one
To believe
That where I am
You cannot reach

CHORUS

BRIDGE
The veil is torn
And now I live
With the Spirit inside
The same One
The very same One
Who brought the Son
Back to life

Hallelujah, He lives in me
Hallelujah, He lives in me

MercyMe - To Whom It May Concern Lyrics

To Whom It May Concern Songs The Hurt and The Healer  

The Hurt & The Healer Lyrics by MercyMe 

To whom it may concern when will we learn
We are all the same
Do you really think that you're the first
To fall along the way

It may sound crazy but what if
You don't try to run
Rather than kick our wounded
We could just lift you up

CHORUS
Oh oh oh We're not throwing stones
Hey hey hey You are not your shame
Oh oh oh You can't go alone
Hey hey hey We won't go away

I can see it's written on your face
It reads with every line
Wishing you could somehow just erase
Or even turn back time

Don't let yourself buy into the lie
That you are too far gone
So let us remind you that you're
Not what you have done

CHORUS

Breathe deep and believe that wherever you go
It don't matter how high, don't matter how low
It comes down to being found and Who you know

The Hurt & The Healer Lyrics by MercyMe

Why?
The question that is never far away
But healing doesn't come from the explained
Jesus please don't let this go in vain
You're all I have, all that remains

So here I am
What's left of me
Where Glory meets my suffering

CHORUS
I'm alive
Even though a part of me has died
You take my heart and breathe it back to life
I fall into Your arms open wide
When the hurt and the Healer collide

Breathe
Sometimes I feel it's all that I can do
Pain so deep that I can hardly move
Just keep my eyes completely fixed on You
Lord take hold and pull me through

So here I am
What's left of me
Where Glory meets my suffering

CHORUS

BRIDGE
It’s the moment when humanity
Is overcome by Majesty

When Grace is ushered in for good
And all our scars are understood

When Mercy takes its rightful place
And all these questions fade away

When out of weakness we must bow
And hear You say "It's over now"

CHORUS

Jesus come and break my fear
Wake my heart take my tears
And find Your glory even here

MercyMe - You Don't Care At All Lyrics

You Don't Care At All Songs The Hurt and The Healer  

You Don't Care At All Lyrics by MercyMe

So many wasted days
Thinking all I've done is all that I am
So many lonely nights on my own
But it's a funny thing
You see my heart so differently
No matter what I feel or where I go

I still don't quite understand

CHORUS
How all of my yesterdays
All of my past mistakes
You've thrown them all away
You don't care at all
You don't care at all
No matter what I do
What I am going through
It's already died with You
You don't care at all
You don't care at all

Old me is out the door
He won't be living here anymore
You simply spoke my name and set me free
I still just can't believe
When I was lost and running away
That You would see a heart worth redeeming

And I'll never quite understand

CHORUS

BRIDGE
How is it that I am Yours and You’re mine
Why would You know me
When I'm so unworthy of mercy and You're divine
You still made me holy

MercyMe - You Know Better Lyrics

You Know Better Songs The Hurt and The Healer  

 You Know Better Lyrics by MercyMe

You'd think I'd know by now
Who's running the show
And what really matters

But I keep picking a fight
With "letting go"
And keep getting hammered

It's a knock down
Drag out
Oh and I am face down
For the count
And I'm reminded
I'm not the one in control

CHORUS
I know You know better so
Why don't I go whenever
You say come follow wherever You lead
So won't you help me

Would You wake me up
And make me aware
Of what You are doing

And from my point of view
It's not very clear
Where this is going

But it's Your call
Help me understand
It's not how I fall
But where I land
So I'm reminded
I'm not the one in control

CHORUS

BRIDGE
Whatever You have in store
Whatever I am in for
I want to trust You more and more

The Hurt & The Healer Lyrics by MercyMe

Why?

The question that is never far away

The healing doesn't come from the explained

Jesus please don't let this go in vain

You're all I have

All that remains

So here I am

What's left of me

Where glory meets my suffering

I'm alive

Even though a part of me has died

You take my heart and breathe it back to life

I've fallen into Your arms open wide

When the hurt and the healer collide

Breathe

Sometimes I feel it's all that I can do

Pain so deep that I can hardly move

Just keep my eyes completely fixed on You

Lord take hold and pull me through

So here I am

What's left of me

Where glory meets my suffering

I'm alive

Even though a part of me has died

You take my heart and breathe it back to life

I've fallen into your arms open wide

When the hurt and the healer collide

It's the moment when humanity

Is overcome by majesty

When grace is ushered in for good

And all the scars are understood

When mercy takes its rightful place

And all these questions fade away

When out of the weakness we must bow

And hear You say "It's over now"

I'm alive

Even though a part of me has died

You take my heart and breathe it back to life

I've fallen into your arms open wide

When The hurt and the healer collide

Jesus come and break my fear

Awake my heart and take my tears

Find Your glory even here

When the hurt and the healer collide [x2]

Jesus come and break my fear

Awake my heart and take my tears

Find Your glory even here

MercyMe - This So Called Love Lyrics

Christian Song - MercyMe Lyrics

This So Called Love Lyrics by MercyMe

I can be there for you

When it can't get much harder

I can cover your head

When life starts to rain

I can hold on tight

When it feels like you're falling

I can bread-crumb the path

When you've lost your way

I can make you laugh

When the whole world is crying

I can build you up

When you're broken in shame

But if all that we do

Is absent of Jesus

Then this so called love

Is completely in vain

Christian Song - MercyMe Lyrics

Won't You Be My Love Lyrics by MercyMe

Verse 1:

When you fall asleep tonight

In your warm and cozy room

Know that I'm awake

And I've got no shelter and no food

Pre-Chorus 1:

I am not alone

My friends are broke and lost

Looking for someone to lead them to my cross

I need your help, I need your help

Chorus 1:

Won't you be My voice calling

Won't you be My hands healing

Won't you be My feet walking into a broken world

Won't you be My chain-breaker

Won't you be My peacemaker

Won't you be My hope and joy

Won't you be My Love

Verse 2:

The other side of the world

She is just a few days old

A helpless little girl

With no family of her own

Pre-Chorus 2:

She is not to blame for the journey she is on

Her life is no mistake

Won't you lead her to My cross?

Repeat Chorus 1

Bridge:

To those I call My own

To those I've set aside

As spotless without blame

The chosen ones My bride

Chorus 2:

We will be Your voice calling

We will be Your hands healing

We will be Your feet walking into a broken world

We will be Your chain-breaker

We will be Your peacemaker

We will be Your hope and joy

We will be Your love

I look around inside these four walls

And I can see this is not my home

Take me prisoner

But I will no fear

'Cause my Deliverer is already here

Nothing can stop Your glory

What may become of me

MercyMe - Back To You Lyrics

Christian Song - MercyMe Lyrics

Back To You Lyrics by MercyMe

Nobody said it would be easy

Nobody said that life's a breeze

Tossin' and turning oh the wind keeps churnin'

Like I'm a little toy boat out on the sea

If I'm down don't count me out

I'll slowly get back on my feet

Stumbling and fumbling but I keep on coming

Just as long as you're not giving up on me

Chorus

When I trip, fall and slow down to a crawl

And feel like I've got nothing left to lose

I may slip, slide, and watch our worlds collide

But I will hit the ground running back to you

There are days my head is spinning

Wishing I could hit the switch and end this ride

If it came to a stop and someone let me off I know

I would just get right back in line

Repeat Chorus

What kind of love would say

I love you anyway

Oh, time and time again

Repeat Chorus

I may slip, slide and watch our worlds collide

But I will, yes I will

Hit the ground running back to you

I hit the ground running back to you

I hit the ground, crashing down, rollin 'round

But I rebound, I get back up and I'll be found

Running, running back to you

MercyMe - Beautiful Lyrics

Christian Song - MercyMe Lyrics

Beautiful Lyrics by MercyMe

Days will come when you don't have the strength

And all you hear is you're not worth anything

Wondering if you ever could be loved

And if they truly saw your heart

They'd see too much

Chorus

You're beautiful, You're beautiful

You are made for so much more than all of this

You're beautiful, You're beautiful

You are treasured, you are sacred, you are His

You're beautiful

Praying that you have the heart to fight

'Cause you are more than what is hurting you tonight

For all the lies you've held inside so long

But they are nothing in the shadow of the cross

Repeat Chorus

Before you ever took a breath

Long before the world began

Of all the wonders He possessed

There was one more precious

Of all the earth and skies above

You're the one He madly loves

Enough to die!

You're beautiful, You're beautiful

In His eyes

You're beautiful!

You are made for so much more than all of this

You're beautiful!

You are treasured, you are sacred, you are His

You're beautiful! You're beautiful!

You are made for so much more than all of this

You're beautiful! You're beautiful!

You are treasured

You are sacred

You are His

MercyMe - All Of Creation Lyrics

Christian Song - MercyMe Lyrics

All Of Creation Lyrics by MercyMe

Separated until the veil was torn

The moment that hope was born

And guilt was pardoned once and for all

Captivated but no longer bound by chains

Left at an empty grave

The sinner and the sacred resolved

Chorus:

And all of creation sing with me now

Lift up your voice and lay your burden down

And all of creation sing with me now

Fill up the heavens let His glory resound

Time has faded and we see Him face to face

Every doubt erased forever we will worship the king

Repeat Chorus:

ohh ah ohhh...ohh ah ohhh

The reason we breathe (ohh ah ohhh)

Is to sing of His glory (ohh ah ohhh)

And for all He has done praise the Father

Praise the Son and the Spirit in One

Repeat Chorus 2x:

And every knee will bow and every tongue

Praise the Father praise the Son and the Spirit in One

MercyMe - Crazy Enough Lyrics

Christian Song - MercyMe Lyrics

Crazy Enough Lyrics by MercyMe

Call me crazy but what if we learned

To love our brother for nothing in return

Oh how the rules would change

Reaching out to the ones who need help

Treating them as you first would treat yourself

Now that would be insane

It may just be crazy enough

To work if we could only love

What if we somehow changed the world

It may just be crazy enough

Is it so strange to think that one day

We will truly see everyone the same

Oh could we be so kind

To sing along when life's playing their tune

To cry with them when their hearts broken in two

And have I lost my mind

It may just be crazy enough

To work if we could only love

What if we somehow changed the world

It may just be crazy enough

Oh, have I gone mad

Believing that love

Still has a chance

It may just be crazy enough

To work if we could only love

What if we somehow changed the world

It may just be crazy enough

It may just be crazy enough

To work if we could only love

What if we somehow changed the world

It may just be crazy enough

It may just be crazy enough

It may just be crazy enough
