(By Your Grace and No Land's Man by Maritza Caldas and James D. Kath)

I Lay Down My Arms I used to think I knew it all, Propelled by my own will I set myself up for a fall, high upon a hill You couldn't try to tell me twice, I'd resist all good advice I lost so much in sacrifice, the best laid plans of men and mice I lay down my arms, and surrender my, imperfect mind I lay down my arms, no greater purpose I could find I finally stopped my false alarms, ...And I lay down my arms My pride came strong before my fall, when I ignored my savior's call I gained nothing after all, but ran head-first into a wall I dove into a steep descent, when all I thought I knew was spent A message to my soul was sent, I knew it was no accident I figured I could win the fight, burning oil day and night In a world of my own right, all I loved had taken flight I paid for, the seeds I'd sown, for thinking I was on my own I learned hard I'd be alone, if I chased Jesus from my home	By Your Grace I'm not sure, Lord, where You're taking me I can't return to where I've been But I will be open, to what You have for me To help free me, from my past sin By Your grace, I will change my ways By Your grace, I know I can For Your grace, I will hope and pray By Your grace, I'll become a better man I want to give You total access To everything it is I lack All the things I've done I now confess Help me please, Lord, to hold nothing back I will surrender all my thoughts to You As bad as sometimes they might be I ask You please, to help, scrub me clean I want to give You, all You want from me
I Call Out To Jesus Just sitting here all on my own, watching clouds and skipping stones When in my mind a dark flash comes, and through my conscious mind it runs A simple thought will set me straight, when I cannot support the weight I call out to Jesus To protect me from the rain I call out to Jesus To rid me of my pain When I need a safe place, where I can put my trust I call out to Jesus It's hard, these days, to tune out all, the images seen great and small To save my senses from the things, that the present era brings But I can send them far away, there's just one thing I need to say When there is no time to lose, no move to make or words to choose I can't count on secret charms to keep me safe from all life's harm So when darkness gets too close to me, there's only one name that I need	God Forgive Me I'm at the bottom of the well, you can't believe how far I fell I'm resigned to let it end, There's no way left for life to mend But up is all that I can see, I've faced the worst and now I'm free A new chance, new beginning dawns, I know I won't be down for long I promise God I'll fix all that I've done, the struggle for my sanity is close to being won I'm finally learning I cannot repeat, the soul-crushing things I do to me I hope that God forgives me for all the things I've done If I'm lucky he'll understand, hopefully some That all of it made so much sense, to me at the time But I guess in retrospect, the only heart I thought about was mine I'm haunted by the things you said, the words are branded in my head I squeeze my eyes and plugs my ears, but your soft plea is all I hear I miss your eyes I miss your touch, I miss your love it's just too much But keep in mind, that given time, Everything will turn out fine
No Land's Man I'm on this journey by Your will, though I've come far, it's farther still And each time my foot touches land, you are with me, where I stand With Your footprints as my guide, I feel Your love in every stride With every step I'm closer to, the me that's only found in You I shed my skin, and everything, that I have ever been I submit myself to your unfailing plan I feel you wash away my pain, and all my earthly sin I follow all that you command, and now I find that I am no land's man I put my trust in rules of man, obtaining everything I can Knowing that I had arrived, to the life that I'd contrived I was a member of the crowd, taking all that life allowed The stack of gold that I had made, nearly led me to the grave I was a child of this earth, but got so lost since my first birth The things I owned became my curse, they turned to dust and lost their worth I walk upon the rock and sand, holding tightly to your hand I feel no tie to manmade plans, I finally see that I am no land's man	Always Watching I had the world upon my back I kept it safe inside my pack I thought the burdon was my own Fighting off the fear alone I knew no other way to be The struggle was all up to me Now when I cannot find my home, or when I'm feeling all alone I will fear not, cause I know my God Is always watching And when I cannot trust my sight, Alone walking through the night I will fear not, cause I know my God Is always watching me Too many choices that I had It was enough to drive me mad Looking nowhere else for hope Driven to the end of rope Now I know a better way To help me make it through the day
I Know It's Only Friday I know it's only friday, but sunday's surely gonna come I say, I know it's only friday, but sunday's surely gonna come And when that morning gets here,my heart will beat just like a drum Friday nights I used to go out, now I stay home and talk to God Yeah, fridays used togo out, nowI stay home and talk to God It's the day that Jesus saved us, cause we're all so flawed I wait all week for friday, cause then sunday's just two days away I wait all week for friday, cause then sunday's just two days away I'll put on my best suit, and I'll get on my knees and pray I know it's only friday, but sunday's surely gonna come I say, I know it's only friday, but sunday's surely gonna come And when that morning gets here,my heart will beat just like a drum	Keep Jesus Near I keep getting letters, telling me how lucky I am That I'd won a million dollars or some other such scam And I get phone calls asking, I put my faith into their plight Then they tried to sell me something, it happens every night But I don't need their credit or their stacks of gold No zero points down payments, I'll just pray as you go And I'll never be lonely, I'll never be unloved The peace that I am seeking I know is right above I'll never know hunger, I'll never know fear Heaven is mine, if I keep Jesus near Now please don't get me wrong, some cash would sure be great But it usually costs me more than my poor heart can take Nothing comes that easy and it never comes for free Plus I can't get destracted, from what God has planed for me I guess I know a little more than I had learned in school I know that I'll be saved if I just follow all the rules The world's become so crazy, it's hard to make some sense Tried to talk to my neighbor but he put up a fence So I stick to the guidelines, I paint inside the lines There's plenty of joy to put had in these simple confines And I'm not scared of dying or dying all alone If I stay close to Jesus, someone will always at home
Thank You, Lord I woke up to His glory, that surrounds me everyday He wants me whole and happy, He's the only way He always keeps my secrets, is always by my side He loves me just the way I am, there's no more need to hide Thank You, Lord for being, my friend and confidant I'm no longer plagued with worry, no longer plaqued with want Thank You, Lord for seeing, what's inside my heart Nowhere else could I find, a chance at a new start I never need to wonder, what he has in store When asks more things of me, I understand Him more I used to worry what's ahead what future I would find Now I know what is to come, is what he had in mind Tell me one place you can find, so filled with love and peace of mind Tell me one place you can go, where faith and hope and trust will grow Show me one safe place on earth, where you can go and feel your worth And what's the one name you can call, to help with anything at all	Someone Should Tell Her Outside sun is shining, there's noise from the park Alone in her bedroom, Beth sits in the dark When was the last time, she felt she belonged She's exiled herself for the things she's done wrong And she sees no option than to pack it all in She thinks it's the only way to shed her sin Someone should tell her that God's always with her Someone should tell her to cross through the gate If she knew the love he's just waiting to show her Someone should tell her before it's too late Rebecca just finished her shift at the store Somehow she thought her life would be more But things took a left turn, no idea how she got In her current position, it's certainly not What she had pictured when she was a child She kicks off her shoes, adds three more bills to the pile Jessica's plane, finally lands in L.A. Seems like she lives in a different, city each day She's forgone a family with all the time her job takes But to her it's all worth it for the money she makes In the hotel room, she sleeps all alone She can barely remember what it's like to be home
Skyward (Instrumental) Sorry, no lyrics, just uplifting music :-)	I Just Can't Imagine I just want to tell you, what your love means to me You have made me stronger, than I could ever be I've found a newborn purpose in everything I do It gives me greater pleasure, when I perform for you And I just can't imagine how I got by before I answered to your knocking and opened up the door And I just can't imagine, the mess I'd still be in If I didn't step aside and let you walk on in
