Thrive lyrics - Casting Crowns

Here in this worn and weary land

Where many a dream has died

Like a tree planted by the water

We never will run dry

So living water flowing through

God we thirst for more of You

Fill our hearts and flood our souls

With one desire

Just to know You and

To make You known

We lift Your name on High

Shine like the sun make darkness run and hide

We know we were made for so much more

Than ordinary lives

It's time for us to more than just survive

We were made to thrive

Into Your word we're digging deep

To know our Father's heart

Into the world we're reaching out

To show them who You are

So living water flowing through

God we thirst for more of You

Fill our hearts and flood our souls

With one desire

Just to know You and

To make You known

We lift Your name on High

Shine like the sun make darkness run and hide

We know we were made for so much more

Than ordinary lives

It's time for us to more than just survive

We were made to thrive

Joy Unspeakable, Faith Unsinkable, Love Unstoppable, Anything is possible

Joy Unspeakable, Faith Unsinkable, Love Unstoppable, Anything is possible

Joy Unspeakable, Faith Unsinkable, Love Unstoppable, Anything is possible

Joy Unspeakable, Faith Unsinkable, Love Unstoppable, Anything is possible

Just to know You and

To make You known

We lift Your name on High

Shine like the sun make darkness run and hide

We know we were made for so much more

Than ordinary lives

It's time for us to more than just survive

We were made to thrive

Hey!

We were made to Thrive

All You've Ever Wanted lyrics - Casting Crowns

I just looked up today

And realized how far away I am from where You are

You gave me life worth dying for

But between the altar and the door

I bought the lies that promised more

And here I go again

Lord, I know I let You down

But somehow, I will make You proud

I'll turn this sinking ship around

And make it back to You

But all my deeds and my good name

Are just dirty rags that tear and strain

To cover all my guilty stains

That You already washed away

('Cause) All You've ever wanted, all You've ever wanted

All You've ever wanted was my heart

Freedom's arms are open, my chains have all been broken

Relentless love has called me from the start

And all You wanted was my heart

I was chasing healing when I'd been made well

I was fighting battles when You conquered hell

Living free but from a prison cell

Lord, I lay it down today

So I'll stop living off of how I feel

And start standing on Your truth revealed

Jesus is my strength, my shield

And He will never fail me

No more chains, I've been set free

No more fighting battles You've won for me

Now in Christ, I stand complete

Just Be Held lyrics - Casting Crowns

Hold it all together

Everybody needs you strong

But life hits you out of nowhere

And barely leaves you holding on

And when you're tired of fighting

Chained by your control

There's freedom in surrender

Lay it down and let it go

So when you're on your knees and answers seem so far away

You're not alone, stop holding on and just be held

Your world's not falling apart, it's falling into place

I'm on the throne, stop holding on and just be held

Just be held, just be held

If your eyes are on the storm

You'll wonder if I love you still

But if your eyes are on the cross

You'll know I always have and I always will

And not a tear is wasted

In time, you'll understand

I'm painting beauty with the ashes

Your life is in My hands

So when you're on your knees and answers seem so far away

You're not alone, stop holding on and just be held

Your worlds not falling apart, its falling into place

I'm on the throne, stop holding on and just be held

Just be held, just be held

Lift your hands, lift your eyes

In the storm is where you'll find Me

And where you are, I'll hold your heart

I'll hold your heart

Come to Me, find your rest

In the arms of the God who won't let go

So when you're on your knees and answers seem so far away

You're not alone, stop holding on and just be held

Your worlds not falling apart, its falling into place

I'm on the throne, stop holding on and just be held (stop holding on and just be held)

Just be held, just be held, just be held, just be held

You Are The Only One lyrics - Casting Crowns

One more mother with a broken heart

One more family is torn apart

One more orphan out in the cold

One more fear that takes control

One more tangled in the same old lies

One more shackled to the same old highs

One more scared of what tomorrow brings

And one more chasing yesterday

Lord, let Your kingdom come

Who can right every wrong

You are the only One

Who can calm every storm

You are the only One

You alone are Father, Savior, Spirit, Healer, Redeemer

Lord of all

You are the only One

One more skeptic to believe

One more prisoner has been set free

One more longs to be Your hands and feet

One more standing for the least of these

One more praying in the morning light

One more shining in the darkest night

One more life worth fighting for

No greater love worth dying for

Lord, let Your kingdom come

Lord, let Your will be done

I want to know You more

I want to make You known

I want this world to see

That You're alive in me

Jesus, You're the only One

(Father, Savior, Spirit)

You are the only One

(Redeemer, Lord of all)

You are the only One

Broken Together lyrics - Casting Crowns

What do you think about when you look at me

I know we're not the fairytale you dreamed we'd be

You wore the veil, you walked the aisle, you took my hand

And we dove into a mystery

How I wish we could go back to simpler times

Before all our scars and all our secrets were in the light

Now on this hallowed ground, we've drawn the battle lines

Will we make it through the night?

It's gonna take much more than promises this time

Only God can change our minds

Maybe you and I were never meant to be complete

Could we just be broken together?

If you can bring your shattered dreams and I'll bring mine

Could healing still be spoken and save us?

The only way we'll last forever is broken together

How it must have been so lonely by my side

We were building kingdoms and chasing dreams and left love behind

I'm praying God will help our broken hearts align

And we won't give up the fight

It's gonna take much more than promises this time

Only God can change our minds

Maybe you and I were never meant to be complete

Could we just be broken together?

If you can bring your shattered dreams and I'll bring mine

Could healing still be spoken and save us?

The only way we'll last forever is broken together

Maybe you and I were never meant to be complete

Could we just be broken together?

If you can bring your shattered dreams and I'll bring mine

Could healing still be spoken and save us?

The only way we'll last forever is broken together

Love You With The Truth lyrics - Casting Crowns

For the longest time, I believed the lie

That I'm not a strong enough believer

To be the friend that can take your hand

And lead you straight to Jesus

I'm waiting on the preachers, singers, and the teachers

To string the perfect words together

But every single time I have to say goodbye

I wonder will this be the last time

I can't call myself your friend and walk away

When we love, we earn the right to speak the truth

When we speak truth, we show the world we truly love

I'm not pointing my finger, I'm holding out my hand

I lay it all on the line now to see God save my friend

Let my life and my words be the proof

I'm gonna love you with the truth

Gonna love you with the truth

Yes, God is love, but God is just

And we are separated in our darkness

So God let Him who knew no sin

To become sin to make us right with Him

It's not about religion or earning God's forgiveness

Or magic prayers or new behavior

It's all about your heart, He'll meet you where you are

Turn from your sin and trust in Christ as Lord

Jesus is the truth, the life, the way

When we love, we earn the right to speak the truth

When we speak truth, we show the world we truly love

I'm not pointing my finger, I'm holding out my hand

I lay it all on the line now to see God save my friend

Let my life and my words be the proof

I'm gonna love you with the truth

Gonna love you with the truth

How I've prayed for this moment, that you would finally see

That God is more than religion, a stained-glass fantasy

And how I've prayed for the courage, for my silent faith to speak

Or that God would just send you a better friend than me

When we love, we earn the right to speak the truth

When we speak truth, we show the world we truly love

I'm not pointing my finger, I'm holding out my hand

I lay it all on the line now to see God save my friend

Let my life and my words be the proof

I'm gonna love you with the truth

Gonna love you with the truth

This Is Now lyrics - Casting Crowns

Standing at the water's edge

I dropped my dreams when I dropped my nets

No hesitation, no regrets

I followed You

But that was then

And this is now

You washed my feet and You changed my name

I swore I'd never be the same

But just like the tides, I guess people change

Cause that was then

And this is now

I wish I could go back but I don't know how

I remember when I stood my ground

I swore I'd never let You down

I want to be that man again

But that was then

And this is now

I watched the blind man lift his head

And look his Savior in the eyes

I heard a dead man take a breath

Dropped to my knees as I watched him rise

And I felt the sea beneath my feet

As I stepped out on the angry waves

But You saw the storm raging within

You reached out and calmed me then

But this is now

Just when I thought my sin has closed the door

I see my Savior standing on the shore

With arms wide open

Just like the first time You called my name

You said that was then

And this is now

My child, I bore your cross, I wore your crown

When you couldn't come to me, my love came down

So take My hand, I'll lead you out

Cause that was then

And this is now

My child, I bore your cross, I wore your crown

You couldn't come to me so my love came down

Take my hand, Ill lead you out

You'll never be that man again

Cause that was then

And this is now

Dream For You lyrics - Casting Crowns

Hey, David, I hear you've been dreaming

About being a big time shepherd some day

You're gonna prove your brothers wrong

You're gonna sing your shepherd song

To the cattle on a thousand hills

But Ive been thinking

I'm having trouble with a giant down the road

You're the one who's going to face him toe to toe

Wipe that grin right off his face

And whip this army into shape

I'm going to turn the nation back to Me

And David, you're right about one thing

Your little shepherd songs are going to make the whole world sing

And I'm gonna make you king

So come on, let Me dream, let Me dream for you

I am strong when you're weak and I'll carry you

So let go of your plan, be caught by My hand

I'll show you what I can do

When I dream for you

I have a dream for you

Hey Mary, I've heard you've been dreaming

Making plans for your big wedding day

You and Joseph are gonna be

The picture perfect family

Maybe a couple of kids down the road

But I've been thinking

Even before time began

I had a picture perfect plan

Of how to save this broken world

Through the life of just one man

I'm gonna send my only Son

And Mary, you're the one

You were right about one thing

You're gonna have that family

And you're gonna raise a King

I'm stronger than you think I am

I'll take you farther than you think you can

You sing and call me Great I Am

So take your stand

My child, if you only knew

All the plans that I have for you

Just trust me, I will follow through

You can follow Me

Follow Me lyrics - Casting Crowns

At the end of myself

I'm empty and dry

I have nothing to give

But surrender inside

Let down your nets

This is not the end

From now on, you'll be

Fishers of men

Follow Me

Follow Me

Follow Me

Follow Me

At the end of myself

Judgment calls out my name

I've been looking for love

But I'm swallowed by shame

Throw away all your stones

Find forgiveness in Me

Let Me be your new passion

My daughter, you're free

At the end of myself

I've done things my own way

This world gave up on me

Now it's death I do pay

You know who I am

I'm sins sacrifice

Today you will be

In paradise

Who is this man who calmed the seas

And who is this man who loves the least of these

I am the promised One

God gave His only Son

And those who believe

Will live eternally

At the end of yourself, just follow Me

If you lose everything, just follow Me

I will give you new life, just follow Me

Follow Me

If at the end of yourself, just follow Me

You may lose everything, just follow Me

I will give you new life, just follow Me

Follow Me

Heroes lyrics - Casting Crowns

She's on her own, two girls at home

Thirteen years just up and walked away

And left her all alone

With bills to pay and mouths to feed

And every day shes taking care of everybody elses needs

But shes finding her strength in the One love that wont ever leave her

So she works and she prays and she loves and she stays cause they need her

These are the heroes, just ordinary people

Laying down their lives like angels in disguise

They're weak but always willing

They dare to do the hard things

And in the dark and desperate places no one else goes

You'll find the heroes

You'll find the heroes

He walks the halls, against the flow

He sees his high school as his mission field

Hes broken cause he knows

The hopeless road that they are taking

The empty feelings they are chasing only lead to futures wasted

So hes willing to stand alone

He lives what he believes when they all say its not worth believing

Every night on his knees, he prays God, wont You please help me reach them?

You may never know their names

But they're moving mountains just the same

Instead of searching for the spotlight

They'll follow Jesus into the darkest night

Heroes, these are the heroes

In the board room with a Bible

In the classroom praying for revival

In third world countries, in downtown missions

House Of Their Dreams lyrics - Casting Crowns

A corner office was his dream

More like a prison now it seems

Somewhere on the corporate climb

He left his warrior behind

Now hes just a worker at a daily grind

Steals his years and numbs his mind

His strength is fading, his dreams are blind

This is not the life he had in mind

She lies awake cause hes up all night

Staring at a screen that tells him lies

That the grass is greener on the other side

So shes at the gym fighting off the years

To be young again and calm her fears

That shell never be enough for him

Just as a young man catches her eye

Now they're trapped in their own worlds, in their own wars

With their cell phones and the closed doors

Its funny how quiet and peaceful that it seems

But they're all alone together

In the house of their dreams

Little sister, shes a sixteen-year-old princess

Lost somewhere between the swing set

And her brand new crushs chariot awaits

And big brothers rooms glowing with trophies that shout his name

But he'd trade all his high school fame

For some backyard catch with his hero again

So now they're all dressed up in Sunday best

Sit up straight just like the rest

And they sing the songs of peace and rest that Jesus freely gives

And then their kids look up as daddy stands

And he takes his bride with trembling hands

Brother kneels at his fathers side as princess looks in the mothers eyes

Their tears tear down the walls as daddy prays

Were trapped in our own worlds and our own wars

With our cell phones and our closed doors

God, only You can save our family

And on this Rock, well build

On this Rock, well build

The house of our dreams

Waiting On The Night To Fall lyrics - Casting Crowns

There's an old man living in the back of your woods tonight

You forgot he was even there, but you've never slipped his mind

Hes living off of scraps of you you never knew you left behind

And as the sun goes down, he rises with a smile

Hes waiting on the night to fall

The old mans coming to call

You don't see the writing on the wall

Hell never step out in the light

No, hes just biding time

And while you slumber, hes gonna come and take it all

Hes waiting on the night to fall

Hes waiting on the night to fall

He knows you have the answers, but Truth lies dusty on your shelf

And the sword that you could slay him with has become an ornament and nothing else

You could put him back down in his hole in the ground, but he knows you never will

Hes been around so long you got used to the smell

He knows hell never have your soul

But he will gladly rob you blind

While you're feasting at his table, hell tie your hands and numb your mind

Hell take you farther than you wanna go

Hell keep you longer than you wanna stay

And it will cost you more than you ever thought you'd pay

Hes waiting on the night

Hes waiting on the night to fall

The old mans coming to call

But you don't see, you don't see the writing on the wall

Hes waiting on the night

Hes waiting on the night to fall

Hes waiting on the night to fall
