1. BACK TO THE BEGINNING

Words and music Sherri Youngward

  

I thought that I could touch the sky

Straight through to the other side

The moment that I met You

  

Like a flower in the morning light

You came and opened up my life

The moment that I met You

  

Look what’s happened in our lives

And watch the whole world slowly

Slowly spinning by

Take me back to the beginning 

Back where I belong

Back to where I started 

To my first love

  

I have no more questions why

I am alive

Ever since I met You

  

Time no longer takes away my life

There will be no more good-byes

Ever since I met You

  

I was flipping through old photographs

Dusting off dead dreams funny how it seems

I’m always wanting more

Wouldn’t it be crazy or would it just be sad

If everything I’m wanting I already have

2. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE

Words and music Sherri Youngward

  

The first line of this song was inspired by a sermon about Elijah by

Pastor Steve Madsen-

"Now I stand before a Holy God" was inspired by a prayer from Pastor

Konstantin Kretov- Moscow, Russia-The thought overwhelmed me.

  

You make the water fall, from a cloudless sky

You make the rock spring forth

And the sea turn dry

And if that’s not enough, You sent Your only Son

And now I stand, before a Holy God

  

You make the stormy sea, as still as glass

You make the wars to cease

And steady trembling hands

  

And if that’s not enough, You sent Your only Son

And now I stand, before a Holy God

  

Nothing is impossible for You

No one is unreachable to You

Nothing is impossible for You

No one is unreachable to You

  

You bring the lonely one into a family

You make the poor man rich

And hear the widow’s plea

  

And if that’s not enough, You sent Your only Son

And now I stand, before a Holy God

3. I LOVE HOW

Words and music Sherri Youngward

  

I love how the wind blows, everywhere You go

Bending the tall trees, lifting the fallen leaves

Swiftly bringing change

Dying embers burst to flame

I love how the wind blows, everywhere You go

  

I love how Your name feels on the tip of my tongue

It’s like my favorite song, about to be sung

It’s like knowing the surprise, before the guests have arrived

I love how Your name feels on the tip of my tongue

  

I love how Your thoughts come to me,

Outnumbering the sand on the beach

As Your story unfolds, the more that I have to know

I can’t live the same, You made history of my shame

I love how Your thoughts come to me, outnumbering the sand on the beach

  

I love how the world turns around, and no one begins to pin it down

Wise men they try, while the simple are made wise

All nature stops and speaks, to anyone listening

I love how the world turns around, and no one begins to pin it down

4. DRAW ME NEAR

Words and music Sherri Youngward

       

Psalm 43:3-5

  

In Your presence all my questions die away

And all the weakness that surrounds me now 

Pales to Your strength

       

Why do you despair, Oh my soul  

My hope is in God, I will praise Him still

       

Draw me near  Draw me near

Draw me near  Draw me nearer to You

  

In Your presence all my fears die away

And all the weakness that surrounds me now 

Turns to strength

Why do you despair, Oh my soul

My hope is in God, and I will praise Him still

       

Grace falls down like the pouring rain,

Over and over and over again

Over and over, You find me here

Mercy rises like the flowers in spring

Over and over and over again

  

Danny wrote the melody and words to “Grace falls down like the pouring rain”  -Thanks Danny

5. THESE THINGS DON’T CHANGE

Words and music Sherri Youngward

  

Be still my soul

I can see the horizon

A cold cold wind is about to blow

  

Be still my soul

I will not falter  

Faith believes when it cannot see     

This I know

  

Nothing will ever take this love away

The grass will wither and the flower fade

These things don’t change

  

Bless the Lord oh my soul

I’m stepping off of this familiar shore

I’ll put to test the things I know        

This I know

  

By surprise He’ll catch me by surprise

He will burst right through the skies

And we will fly away

  

Height, depth, width, breadth, poverty,

Prosperity, kingdoms, power, 

Persecution, life, death, tribulation, 

Love, hate, chance, fate, angels, demons, sinner, saint, nothing on earth no created thing

6. THE WAY TO JOY

Words and music Sherri Youngward

  

Mary heard the angel speak

about a boy that wasn’t hers to keep

She held the words within her heart 

Knowing suffering would be a part of loving Him

But she wouldn’t trade a minute for a day without Him in it

The cross was on her way to joy

  

In the garden of Gethsemane  

Jesus fell down to His knees

His sweat became like drops of blood

 When He prayed the Father’s will be done and not His own

No one took His life away- it’s the reason that He came

The cross was on His way to joy

  

The cross is on the way to joy, oh the cross is on the way to joy

The cross is on the way to joy, oh the cross is on the way to joy

  

The thief that hung upon the cross thought he’d lost his chance for innocence

He turned his head to his surprise

The Son of God was by his side forgiving him

When he opened up his eyes, he awoke in paradise 

The cross was on his way to joy

  

But I wouldn’t trade a minute for a day without Him in it
