“Never Once” by Matt Redman. 10,000 Reasons

MY GRADUATION SONG. I’m so grateful.

Standing on this mountaintop, looking just how far we’ve come

Knowing that for every step, You were with us 

Kneeling on this battle ground, seeing just how much You’ve done 

Knowing every victory was Your power in us 

Scars and struggles on the way but with joy our hearts can say 

Yes, our hearts can say 

.

Never once did we ever walk alone 

Never once did You leave us on our own 

You are faithful, God, You are faithful 

You are faithful, God, You are faithful 

.

Scars and struggles on the way but with joy our hearts can say 

Never once did we ever walk alone 

Carried by Your constant grace, held within Your perfect peace 

Never once, no, we never walk alone 

.

Every step we are breathing in Your grace 

Evermore we’ll be breathing out Your praise 

You are faithful, God, You are faithful 

You are faithful, God, You are faithful

Love this song! On repeat. ♥ ”Hold Me” by Jamie Grace featuring tobyMac

_

I love, I love, I love, I love the way You hold me…

_

I’ve had a long day, I just want to relax

Don’t have time for my friends, no time to chit chat 

Problems at my job, wondering what to do 

I know I should be working but I’m thinking of You 

And just when I feel this crazy world is going to bring me down 

That’s when Your smile comes around 

_

Ooh, I love the way You hold me, by my side, You’ll always be 

And take each every day, make it special in some way 

I love the way You hold me, in Your arms I’ll always be 

You take each and every day, make it special in some way 

I love You more than the words in my brain can express 

I can’t imagine even loving You less, Lord I love the way You hold me 

Whoa, oh, oh… I love the way You hold me, whoa, oh, oh… 

_

Well, You took my day and You flipped it around 

Calmed the tide and wave and put my feet on the ground 

Forever in my heart, always on my mind

It’s crazy how I think about You all of the time 

And just when I think I’m about to figure You out 

You make me want to scream and shout 

_

I’m so grateful and thankful for all You’ve done 

Wish I could tell You in a short story or a poem 

But all I have is my voice and this guitar 

And You have my heart

“You Hold My World” by Israel Houghton. Love God. Love People. 

_

Take my heart

Lord will You take my heart

As I surrender to Your will 

I confess You are my righteousness 

Until You move me I’ll be still 

And know that You are God 

_

You hold my world in Your hands

You hold my world in Your hands

And I am amazed at Your love 

I am amazed that You love me 

You hold my world in Your hands

You hold my world in Your hands 

I’m not afraid 

My world is safe in Your hands 

In Your hands 

_

Take my life 

Lord will You take my life 

You are the reason that I live 

I believe You have forgiven me 

And by Your grace I will forgive

And know that You are God 

And know that You are God 

_

You won’t let go of me

You won’t let go of me

You won’t let go of me 

You won’t let go 

Never let go 

_
You will take care of me… 

_
Won’t let go…
