The Way

Verse 1

Through every battle

Through every heartbreak

Through every circumstance

I believe that You are my fortress

Oh You are my portion

You are my hiding place

Oh I believe You are

Chorus

The Way the Truth the Life

I believe You are

The Way the Truth the Life

I believe (You are)

Verse 2

Through every blessing

Through every promise

Through every breath I take

I believe that You are provider

You are protector

You are the One I love

I believe You are

Bridge

It's a new horizon

And I'm set on You

And You meet me here today

With mercies that are new

All my fears and doubts

They can all come too

Because they can't stay long

(When I'm here with You)

(When I believe You are)

​

Death Was Arrested

Verse 1

Alone in my sorrow and dead in my sin

Lost without hope with no place to begin

Your love made a way to let mercy come in

When death was arrested and my life began

Verse 2

Ash was redeemed only beauty remains

My orphan heart was given a name

My mourning grew quiet

my feet rose to dance

When death was arrested

and my life began

Chorus

Oh Your grace so free washes over me

You have made me new

now life begins with You

It's Your endless love

pouring down on us

You have made us new

now life begins with You

Verse 3

Released from my chains

I'm a pris'ner no more

My shame was a ransom

He faithfully bore

He cancelled my debt

and He called me His friend

When death was arrested

and my life began

Verse 4

Our Savior displayed

on a criminal's cross

Darkness rejoiced

as though Heaven had lost

But then Jesus arose

with our freedom in hand

That's when death was arrested

and my life began

Bridge

Oh we're free free forever we're free

Come join the song of all the redeemed

Yes we're free free forever amen

When death was arrested

and my life began

Tag

When death was arrested

and my life began

When death was arrested

and my life began

​

Yahweh

Verse 1

Spirit of Jesus

Living within us

Never to fail or forsake

Unending promise

Heaven inside us

Whispers the sound of your name

Chorus 1

Holy holy is the Lord

Worthy to be praised

Yahweh

Verse 2

Filled with your wonder

Here I surrender

Held in your mystery of grace

Calling me closer

Waking desire

Coming alive in your name

Chorus 2

Holy holy is the Lord

Worthy to be praised

Yahweh

Fire rising in my soul

All consuming flame

Yahweh

Bridge

He who was and is to come

Is the one who lives in us

The Great I Am

Yahweh
