Joy To The World Lyrics by Steven Curtis Chapman 

Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let Earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven and nature sing

Joy to the world, the Savior reigns
Let men, their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy

No more let sins and sorrows grow
Nor thorns infest the ground
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found
Far as the curse is found
As far as the curse is found

So sing for joy from the top of the mountains
Sing for joy from the dark valley floor
To the ends of the Earth
Let the news of His birth ring out loud
Bring joy to the world

He rules the Earth (with truth and grace)
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
Wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
Oh, the wonders of His love

Steven Curtis Chapman - Heaven In The Real World Lyrics

Heaven In The Real World Lyrics by Steven Curtis Chapman

I saw it again today in the face of a little child

Looking through eyes of fear and uncertainty

It echoed in a cry for freedom across the street and across the miles

Cries from the heart to find the missing part

Where is the hope, where is the peace?

That will make this life complete

For every man, woman, boy and girl

Looking for heaven in the real world

To stand in the pouring rain and believe the sun will shine again

To know that the grave is not the end

To feel the embrace of grace and cross the line where real life begins

And know in your heart you’ve found the missing part

There is hope, there is a peace

That will make this life complete

For every man, woman, boy and girl

Looking for heaven in the real world

Heaven in the real world

It happened one night with a tiny baby’s birth

God heard creation crying and He sent heaven to earth

He is the hope, He is the peace

That will make this life complete

For every man, woman, boy and girl

Looking for heaven in the real world

Heaven has come to the real world

Heaven has come, come to the real world

He is the hope, He is the peace

Jesus is heaven, heaven in the real world

He is the hope

He is the heaven in the real world

He is the peace

He is heaven in the real world

Steven Curtis Chapman - Meant To Be Lyrics

re:creation Album Steven Curtis Chapman Lyrics

Meant To Be Lyrics by Steven Curtis Chapman

Long before you drew your first breath

A dream was coming true

God wanted to give a gift to the world

So He wrapped it up in you

Every step that you’ve taken

Every move that you make

Is part of His plan

CHORUS

You were meant to be touching the lives that you touch

And meant to be here making this world so much more

Than it would be without you in it

You were meant to be bringing the gifts that you bring

And singing the songs you’ve been given to sing

You are perfectly, wonderfully

Beautifully meant to be

You were meant to be

Long before you took your first fall

And stumbled to the ground

God started telling the story of you

To the angels gathered around

Every failure and victory

And everything in between

It’s all in His hands

REPEAT CHORUS

You are, you are, you are meant to be

You are, you are, you are meant to be

For every breath that you’re taking

And every move that you make

It’s a meaningful life you’ve been given

So live it well

REPEAT CHORUS

Steven Curtis Chapman - More To This Life Lyrics

re:creation Album Steven Curtis Chapman Lyrics

More To This Life Lyrics by Steven Curtis Chapman

Today I watched in silence as people passed me by

And I strained to see if there was something hidden in their eyes

But they all looked back at me as if to say

Life just goes on

The old familiar story told in different ways

Make the most of your own journey from the cradle to the grave

Dream your dreams tomorrow because today

Life must go on

But there’s more to this life than living and dying

More than just trying to make it through the day

More to this life, more than these eyes alone can see

And there’s more than this life alone can be

Tonight he lies in silence staring into space

And looks for ways to make tomorrow better than today

But in the morning light it looks the same

Life just goes on

He takes care of his family, he takes care of his work

And every Sunday morning he takes his place at the church

And somehow he still feels a need to search

But life just goes on

So where do we start to find every part

Of what makes this life complete

If we turn our eyes to Jesus we’ll find

Life’s true beginning is there at the cross where He died

He died to bring us…

Steven Curtis Chapman - Morning Has Broken & Sing Hallelujah Lyrics (feat. Caleb Chapman)

re:creation Album Steven Curtis Chapman Lyrics

Morning Has Broken Lyrics by Steven Curtis Chapman feat. Caleb Chapman

Morning has broken, like the first morning

Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird

Praise for the singing, praise for the morning

Praise for them springing fresh from the word

Sweet the rain's new fall, sunlit from heaven

Like the first dewfall, on the first grass

Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden

Sprung in completeness where His feet pass

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morning

Born of the one light, Eden saw play

Praise with elation, praise every morning

God's recreation of the new day

re:creation Album Steven Curtis Chapman Lyrics
Sing Hallelujah Lyrics by Steven Curtis Chapman
Sing hallelujah
The sun’s breaking through
To take back the dark sky
And make everything new

We knew joy was coming
But we just had to wait
And now we sing hallelujah
Cause it’s a brand new day.

So let’s sing hallelujah
The dark night is gone
Creation is singing
So come join in the song
The Father is calling
To come out and play
So we’ll sing hallelujah
Cause it’s a brand new day

Sing hallelujah
It’s a brand new, beautiful day.

Steven Curtis Chapman - Magnificent Obsession Lyrics

re:creation Album Steven Curtis Chapman Lyrics

Magnificent Obsession Lyrics by Steven Curtis Chapman

Lord, You know how much

I want to know so much

In the way of answers and explanations

I have cried and prayed

And still I seem to stay

In the middle of life’s complications

All this pursuing leaves me feeling like I’m chasing down the wind

But now it’s brought me back to You

And I can see again

This is everything I want

This is everything I need

I want this to be my one consuming passion

Everything my heart desires

Lord, I want it all to be for You, Jesus

Be my magnificent obsession

So capture my heart again

Take me to depths I’ve never been

Into the riches of Your grace and Your mercy

Return me to the cross

And let me be completely lost

In the wonder of the love

That You’ve shown me

Cut through these chains that tie me down to so many lesser things

Let all my dreams fall to the ground

Until this one remains

You are everything I want

And You are everything I need

Lord, You are all my heart desires

You are everything to me

You are everything I want

You are everything I need

I want You to be my one consuming passion

Everything my heart desires

Lord, I want it all to be for You

I want it all to be for You

Steven Curtis Chapman - For The Sake Of The Call Lyrics

re:creation Album Steven Curtis Chapman Lyrics

For The Sake Of The Call Lyrics by Steven Curtis Chapman

Nobody stood and applauded them

So they knew from the start

This road would not lead to fame

All they really knew for sure was Jesus had called to them

He said “Come follow me” and they came

With reckless abandon they came

Empty nets lying there at the waters edge

Told a story that few could believe and none could explain

How some crazy fishermen agreed to go where Jesus lead

With no thought for what they would gain

For Jesus had called them by name and they answered

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call

No other reason at all but the sake of the call

Wholly devoted to live and to die

For the sake of the call

Drawn like the rivers are drawn to the sea

No turning back for the water cannot help but flow

Once we hear the Savior’s call we’ll follow wherever He leads

Because of the love He has shown

And because He has called us to go we will answer

We will abandon it all for the sake of the call

No other reason at all but the sake of the call

Wholly devoted to live and to die

Not for the sake of a creed or a cause

Not for a dream or a promise

Simply because it is Jesus who calls

And if we believe we’ll obey

Live Out Loud Lyrics by Steven Curtis Chapman

I magine this…I get a phone call from Regis

He says, “Do you want to be a millionaire?”

They put me on the show and I win with two lifelines to spare

Now picture this…I act like nothing ever happened

And bury all the money in a coffee can

Well, I’ve been given more than Regis ever gave away

I was a dead man who was called to come out of my grave

And I think it’s time for makin’ some noise

Wake the neighbors, get the word out

Come on…crank up the music…climb a mountain and shout

This is life we’ve been given made to be lived out

So la la la la live out loud

Live out loud, yeah

Think about this…try to keep a bird from singing

After it’s soared up in the sky

Give the sun a cloudless day and tell it not to shine

Now think about this…if we really have been given

The gift of a life that will never end

And if we have been filled with living hope we’re gonna overflow

And if God’s love is burning in our hearts we’re gonna glow

There’s just no way to keep it in

Everybody, come on

La la la…la la la la

La la la live out loud

I want to hear everybody sing

La la la…la la la la

La la la live out loud, loud, loud

Every corner of creation is a living declaration

Come join the song we were made to sing

Steven Curtis Chapman - Speechless Lyrics

re:creation Album Steven Curtis Chapman Lyrics

Speechless Lyrics by Steven Curtis Chapman

Words fall like drops of rain

My lips are like clouds

I say so many things

Trying to figure You out

But as mercy opens my eyes

My words are stolen away

With this breathtaking view of Your grace

And I am speechless, I’m astonished and amazed

I am silenced by Your wondrous grace

You have saved me

You have raised me from the grave

And I am speechless in Your presence now

I’m astounded as I consider how

You have shown us

A love that leaves us speechless

So what kind of love could this be

That would trade heaven’s throne for a cross

And to think You still celebrate

Over finding just one who was lost

And to know You rejoice over us

The God of this whole universe

It’s a story that’s too great for words

Oh, how great is the love

The Father has lavished upon us

That we should be called

The sons and the daughters of God

We are speechless, so amazed

(We stand in awe of Your grace)

(We stand in awe of Your mercy)

You have saved us

(We stand in awe of Your love)

From the grave

(We are speechless)

We are speechless in Your presence now

(We stand in awe of Your cross)

We’re astounded as we consider how

(We stand in awe of Your power)

You have shown us

A love that leaves us speechless

(We are speechless)

I am speechless

Steven Curtis Chapman - All That’s Left Lyrics

re:creation Album Steven Curtis Chapman Lyrics

All That’s Left Lyrics by Steven Curtis Chapman

Slowly drawn moths to the flame

We think we’re strong we think we’re anchored down

Then it comes, the hurricane

Down come the walls up come the foundations

we’ve been building on

and suddenly....we’ll see that

All that’s left is to love

That’s all that we have

That’s all that we ever really had and

All that’s left is to love

That’s all that we have

That’s all that we’ll ever have

So let us look into each other’s eyes

And read the stories written there between the lines

And take the list of all the wrongs we keep

And tear it into pieces let mercy be the only thing we’re harboring

Cause eventually....we’re gonna see that

All that’s left is to love

That’s all that we have

That’s all that we ever really had and

All that’s left is to love

That’s all that we have

That’s all that we’ll ever have

This is why our hearts are beating

To love each other as we have been loved

Everything else is a fleeting shadow

But love endures all things, believes all things and hopes all things

And love never ends

Love never ends

All that’s left is to love

That’s all that we have

That’s all that we ever really had and

All that’s left is to love

That’s all that we have

That’s all that we’ll ever have

All we really ever have

All we have in the end is love

Oh, the only the thing that matters is to love

This is the only lasting treasure

Love endures all things and believes all things and hopes all things

Love endures all things and believes all things and hopes all things

Steven Curtis Chapman - Dive (Deeper) Lyrics

re:creation Album Steven Curtis Chapman Lyrics

Dive (Deeper) Lyrics by Steven Curtis Chapman

The long awaited rains

Have fallen hard upon the thirsty ground

And carved their way to where

The wild and rushing river can be found

And like the rains

I have been carried here to where the river flows, yeah

My heart is racing and my knees are weak

As I walk to the edge

I know there is no turning back

Once my feet have left the ledge

And in the rush I hear a voice

That’s telling me it’s time to take the leap of faith

So here I go

I’m diving in, I’m going deep in over my head, I want to be

Caught in the rush, lost in the flow, in over my head, I want to go

The river’s deep, the river’s wide, the river’s water is alive

So sink or swim, I’m diving in

There is a supernatural power

In this mighty river’s flow

It can bring the dead to life

And it can fill an empty soul

And give a heart the only thing

Worth living and worth dying for, yeah

But we will never know the awesome power

Of the grace of God

Until we let ourselves get swept away

Into this holy flood

So if you’ll take my hand

We’ll close our eyes and count to three

And take the leap of faith

Come on let’s go

The Great Adventure Lyrics by Steven Curtis Chapman

Saddle up your horses

Started out this morning in the usual way

Chasing thoughts inside my head of all I had to do today

Another time around the circle try to make it better than the last

I opened up the Bible and I read about me

Said I’d been a prisoner and God’s grace had set me free

And somewhere between the pages it hit me like a lightning bolt

I saw a big frontier in front of me and I heard somebody say let’s go!

Saddle up your horses we’ve got a trail to blaze

Through the wild blue yonder of God’s amazing grace

Let’s follow our leader into the glorious unknown

This is a life like no other oh…this is the Great Adventure! Yeah…

Come on get ready for the ride of your life

Gonna leave long faced religion in a cloud of dust behind

And discover all the new horizons just waiting to be explored

This is what we were created for

We’ll travel over, over mountains so high

We’ll go through valleys below

Still through it all we’ll find that

This is the greatest journey that the human heart will ever see

The love of God will take us far beyond our wildest dreams

Yeah…oh saddle up your horses…come on get ready to ride

Steven Curtis Chapman - Long Way Home Lyrics

re:creation Album Steven Curtis Chapman Lyrics

Long Way Home Lyrics by Steven Curtis Chapman

I set out on a great adventure

The day my Father started leading me home

He said there’s gonna be some mountains to climb

And some valleys we’re gonna go through

But I had no way of knowing

Just how hard this journey could be

Cause the valleys are deeper and the mountains are steeper

Than I ever would’ve dreamed

But I know we’re gonna make it

I know we’re gonna get there soon

And I know sometimes it feels like we’re going the wrong way

It’s just a long way home

I got some rocks in my shoes

Fears I wish I could lose

They make the mountains so hard to climb

And my heart gets so heavy with the weight of the world sometimes

There’s a bag of regrets

My should’ve beens and not yets

I keep on dragging around

And I can hardly wait for the day I get to lay it all down

I know that day is coming

I know it’s gonna be here soon

And I won’t turn back even the whole world

says I’m going the wrong way

Cause it’s just a long way home...

And when we can’t take another step

The Father will pick us up and carry us in His arms

And even on the best days

He says to remember we’re not home yet

So don’t get too comfortable

Cause really all we are is just pilgrims passing through

Well I know we’re gonna make it

And I know we’re gonna get there soon

So I’ll keep on singing and believing what all of my songs say

Cause our God has made a promise

And I know that everything He says is true

And I know wherever we go

He will never leave us

Cause He’s going to lead us home

Every single step of the long way home

Keep on, we’re gonna make it

I know we’re gonna make it

We’re just taking the long way home

Steven Curtis Chapman - Do Everything Lyrics

re:creation Album Steven Curtis Chapman Lyrics

Do Everything Lyrics by Steven Curtis Chapman

You’re picking up toys on the living room floor for the…15th time today

Matching up socks and sweeping up lost Cheerios that got away

You put a baby on your hip, color on your lips and head out the door

While I may not know you I bet I know you wonder sometimes

Does it matter at all

Let me remind you it all matters just as long as you

Do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you

Cause He made you

To do every little thing that you do to bring a smile to His face

And tell the story of grace with every move that you make

In every little thing you do

Maybe you’re that guy with the suit and tie

Or maybe your shirt says your name

You may be hooking up mergers or cooking up burgers

But at the end of the day

Little stuff, big stuff, in between stuff

God sees it all the same

While I may not know you I bet I know you wonder sometimes

Does it matter at all

Let me remind you it all matters just as long as you

Do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you

Cause He made you

To do every little thing that you do to bring a smile to His face

And tell the story of grace with every move that you make

In every thing that you do

Maybe you’re sitting in Math Class

Or maybe on a mission in the Congo

Maybe you’re working at the office

Singing along with the radio

Or maybe you’re dining at a five star

Feeding orphans in Myanmar

Anywhere and everywhere you are

Whatever you do it all matters

So do what you do, don’t ever forget

To do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you

Cause He made you

To do every little thing that you do to bring a smile to His face

And tell the story of grace as you

Do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you

Cause He made you

To do every little thing that you do to bring a smile to His face

And tell the story of grace with every move that you make

In every little thing you do

In every little thing you do

In every little thing you do
