Make Room
by Community Worship
[Verse 1]
Here is where I lay it down
Every burden, every crown
This is my surrender
This is my surrender
Here is where I lay it down
Every lie and every doubt
This is my surrender

[Chorus]
And I will make room for You
To do whatever You want to
To do whatever You want to
And I will make room for You
To do whatever You want to
To do whatever You want to, oh

[Verse 1]
Here is where I lay it down
Every burden, every crown
This is my surrender
This is my surrender
Here is where I lay it down
Every lie and every doubt
This is my surrender

To do whatever You want to
To do whatever You want to, Jesus
And I will make room for You, for You
To do whatever You want to
To do whatever You want to

Abide
Dwell Music
For my waking breath
For my daily bread
I depend on You
I depend on You

For the sun to rise
For my sleep at night
I depend on You
Yes I depend on You

You’re the way the truth and the life
You’re the well that never runs dry
I’m the branch and You are the vine
Draw me close and teach me to abide

Where the Spirit leads
As I’m following
I depend on You
I depend on You

For the victories
Still in front of mе
I depend on You
I depеnd on You

You’re the way the truth and the life
You’re the well that will never run dry
I’m the branch and You are the vine
Draw me close and teach me to abide

Be my strength, my song in the night
Be my all, my treasure my prize
I am Yours, forever You’re mine
Draw me close and teach me to abide

When I pass through death
As I enter rest
I depend on You
I depend on You

For eternal life
To be raised with Christ
I depend on You
I depend on You

Run to the Father
by Cody Carnes
I’ve carried a burden
For too long on my own
I wasn’t created
To bear it alone
I hear Your invitation
To let it all go
Yeah, I see it now
I’m laying it down
And I know that I need You

I run to the Father
I fall into grace
I’m done with the hiding
No reason to wait
My heart needs a surgeon
My soul needs a friend
So I’ll run to the Father
Again and again
And again and again
Oh, oh, oh

You saw my condition
Had a plan from the start
Your Son for redemption
The price for my heart
And I don’t have a context
For that kind of love
I don’t understand
I can’t comprehend
All I know is I need You

I run to the Father
I fall into grace
I’m done with the hiding
No reason to wait
My heart needs a surgeon
My soul needs a friend
So I’ll run to the Father
Again and again
And again and again

Oh, oh
Again and again
And again and again
Oh, oh (oh)

My heart has been in Your sights
Long before my first breath
Running into Your arms
Is running to life from death
And I feel this rush deep in my chest
Your mercy is calling out
Just as I am You pull me in
And I know I need You now

I run to the Father
I fall into grace
I’m done with the hiding
No reason to wait
My heart needs a surgeon
My soul needs a friend
So I’ll run to the Father
Again and again

I run to the Father
I fall into grace
I’m done with the hiding
No reason to wait
And my heart found a surgeon
My soul found a friend
So I’ll run to the Father
Again and again
And again and again

Oh, oh
Again and again
And again and again
Oh, oh, oh
Again and again

Broken Vessels
Hillsong Worship
[Verse 1]
All these pieces, broken and scattered
In mercy gathered, mended and whole
Empty handed but not forsaken
I’ve been set free, I’ve been set free

[Chorus 1]
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I am found
Was blind but now I see

[Chorus 2]
Oh I can see You now
Oh I can see the love in Your eyes
Laying Yourself down
Raising up the broken to life

[Verse 2]
You take our failure, You take our weakness
You set Your treasure in jars of clay
So take this heart, Lord, I’ll be Your vessel
The world to see, Your life in me

[Chorus 1]
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I am found
Was blind but now I see

[Chorus 2]
Oh I can see You now
Oh I can see the love in Your eyes
Laying Yourself down
Raising up the broken to life

[Instrumental]

[Chorus 1]
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I am found
Was blind but now I see
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I am found
Was blind but now I see

[Chorus 2]
Oh I can see You now
Oh I can see the love in Your eyes
Laying Yourself down
Raising up the broken to life

[Chorus 1]
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I am found
Was blind but now I see
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now I am found
Was blind but now I see

[Chorus 2]
Oh I can see You now
Oh I can see the love in Your eyes
Laying Yourself down
Raising up the broken to life
Oh I can see You now
Oh I can see the love in Your eyes
Laying Yourself down
Raising up the broken to life
Oh I can see You now
Oh I can see the love in Your eyes
Laying Yourself down
Raising up the broken to life

No Longer Slaves
by Bethel Music
You unravel me
With a melody
You surround me with a song
Of deliverance
From my enemies
‘Til all my fears are gone

I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God

From my mother’s womb
You have chosen me
Love has called my name
I’ve been born again
Into Your family
Your blood flows through my veins

I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I’m no longer a slave to fear

I am a child of God

I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God

I am surrounded
By the arms of the Father
I am surrounded
By songs of deliverance
We’ve been be liberated
From our bondage
We’re the sons and the daughters
Let us sing our freedom

Ooh, oooh, Ooh, oooh
Ooh, oooh, Ooh, oooh

You split the sea
So I could walk right through it
My fears are drowned in perfect love
You rescued me
So I could stand and say
I am a child of God

You split the sea
So I could walk right through it
My fears are drowned in perfect love
You rescued me
So I could stand and say
I am a child of God
I am a child of God
Yes, I am a child of God

I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
I’m no longer a slave to fear
I am a child of God
