He Wants No Less

All That I Desire

I want to see your face
Put my hand in your hand
Hear you whisper in my ear
Walk beside you through this land

I want to have your blessing
As we walk side by side
Knowing you will never leave me
If with you I abide

Jesus, precious Jesus
You are all that I desire
Your Holy Spirit guiding me
Will set my heart on fire
Help me live a life of mercy
Help me live a life of grace
Because that is what it takes
If I want to see your face

I want to have you smile at me
And tell me job well done
I want your love to flow through me
Reaching everyone

I want to see the nations saved
So all will sing your praise
Because there's nothing more I love
Than worshiping your name

Jesus, precious Jesus
You are all that I desire
Your Holy Spirit guiding me
Will set my heart on fire
Help me live a life of mercy
Help me live a life of grace
Because that is what it takes
If I want to see your face
All For Me

All For Me

Brought before the judgment hall
Though He just did good
Persecuted false was He
Condemned for my sin

Beaten within one last breath
Wore a crown of thorns
Spit and kicked upon was He
Bruised for all my sin

Carried His own cross of death
Fell beneath its weight
Nailed through hands and feet was He
Suffered for my sin

Given vinegar to drink
Sword pierced through His side
Hanging there for me was He
Dying for my sin

High and lifted up was He
High above the ground
Hanging on a cross was He
Taking all my sin

He gave His own life away
To purchase life for me
Placed in borrowed tomb was He
Buried for my sin.

I will lift my voice to Him
And give Him all my praise
For He did all of this for me
I will praise His name
His Great Love For Me

All For Me

He surrendered all in the garden
The garden of Gethsemane
Then He set His sights on the cross
On a hill called Calvary

After living a life filled with wonder
All the healing and deliverance
He now faced the death of a villain
In pain and agony for us

CHORUS
All for us, all for us
He did it all for us
Not a day goes by
I don’t wonder why
He would do this all for us

Covered with scars and blood He walked
Down a road of scorn and shame
He fell down from the weight of the cross
That would be His dying place

CHORUS

All the pain He took for me
The stripes He took for me
The shame He took for me
The cross He took for me (REPEAT)

He suffered to set me free
He died to set me free
He rose again for me
He lives forever for me
He’ll come again for me
All for me, all for me

ALT. CHORUS
All for me, all for me
He did it all for me
Not a day goes by
I don’t wonder why
He would do this all for me
Mercy is His Name

No Boundary

I can do anything when I am nothing
I have more power when I am weak
There is no boundary to what God can do through me
If I will just yield myself to His control

Many a time I have wondered out loud
Why I walk like I’m big and proud
I don’t know anything and I can do nothing
When I walk in my strength out of control

Giving my life to the Lord of my life
Is only a matter of what is right
He is the power and He is the strength
That carries me through every day

I do not know in my own self what is true
This world has lost its way to the truth
When I trust Him I know I will win
Because He is the way, the truth and the life.

Lord, give me strength to walk in my weakness
Lord, give me power to stand and be strong
Lord, take my life as a sweet-smelling sacrifice
Lord, I am yours.  Lord, I am yours.
Beside Me

Beside Me

Here you are right beside me
Through the trial, through the storm
Never leaving, always with me
Even when I feel alone

When I'm walking through the valley
Or climbing up a mountain 
Or drowning in the deepest sea
You are always right there with me
You are always beside me

Lord of heaven, God of wonders 
You have made the stars above 
On your throne in royal splendor 
You pour out to me your live

Help me, Lord, to see your mercy 
Help me recognize your grace 
When I hear your voice within me
Help me see your loving face

Help me know you're here beside me
Through the wind and through the rain 
Help me see your arms wide open
Holding me close once again

When I'm walking through the valley
Or climbing up a mountain 
Or drowning in the deepest sea
You are always right there with me
You are always beside me
