Building Up, Reaching Out
(Words by Erin Martin, Music by Erin & Andrew Martin)
Building up
Up to the Heavens
Reaching Out
Out to the world
It's our job to make sure everybody in our path has heard
About Christ Jesus
The one who freed us
Giving life eternally
Lord knows we can't be ashamed
Or run away from our faith
We've got to build up and reach out
Let's start today
God has chosen us for glory
To tell the good news of His story
Praise His name to all creation
Until we see His Holy Spirit move through all the nations
(c) 2008

In His glory He is gonna bring
His Power to the People

Let It Go
(Words by Erin Martin, Music by Erin & Andrew Martin)
Verse 1:
Do you wake up from nights of restless sleep
With sweat, sweat just pouring down your cheek
Are you afraid of what the day might bring
Feeling hopeless and alone
Verse 2:
Do you fill up your days with busy scenes
Are you missing all that lives and breathes
While you weigh your worth in man-made things
Always afraid of the unknown
Pre-Chorus:
Where has it gotten you, look around
Your empty soul is crying out to be found
Chorus:
Let it go and let God in
You keep holding back from Him
He knows better
It's just whether or not you're ready to, you've gotta
Give it up and take a chance
You're already in His hands
He knows better
It's just whether or not you're ready to release
Verse 3:
Do you spend each day just getting by
Wishing you had control over your life
Are you holding on so tight you can't breathe
Feels like you'll never get relief
Bridge:
You let all your pain and pride get in the way
And worry and doubt and fear won't hesitate to take you over
Let God relieve the burdens and the weights that hold you down today
There's a better way
Ending:
Are you ready to live?

Completely
(Words by Erin Martin, Music by Erin & Andrew Martin)
Verse 1:
Sometimes I let this world get the best of me
Letting each day slip right on by
Without a thought of where I am going to
Forgetting the one who saved my life
Chorus:
There has got to be a change
If I want to fully see
the direction that the Lord
Could be leading me if I believe
Completely
Verse 2:
Sometimes I try doing it on my own
Watching my world as it falls apart
Then I hear a voice
Saying, "I'm always here.
Please let me in to fix your heart"
Chorus 2:
And as soon as I let go
In an instant I am free
All my burdens He will bear
All He wanted was for me to be
Honestly, believing, completely
Bridge:
O Lord, I pray
Your forgiveness when I lose my way
Help me push aside
All my foolish pride
To let you guide me everyday
Verse 3:
What a relief
Knowing I'm not the one
Who's in control of my crazy life
I'll leave it up to the Lord above
Instead of relying on my own might
Chorus 3:
Now I vow to make a change
'Cause I want to fully see
The driection that the Lord is already leading me
As I promise to let go
In an instant I am free
All my burdens He will bear
All He wanted was for me to be
Honestly, believing
Completely

To meet me in Galilee."

May it not be used in vain

Faith Into Action

When God’s given us so much to share

We’ve got to put our Faith Into Action

We can’t keep livin’ with our eyes shut

To put our faith
Our faith into action

There are no deeds
Too meek, too small
For God to be glorified
Give what you’ve got
He’ll take it all
And use it to change a life

It’s not a matter of how much
This is about what’s in our hearts
(Chorus)

What good is saying we believe?
If we never try
To make a difference in this world
It’s time to testify
With more than just our words
But how we live our lives

And in the end
We know it’s love
That makes this world go around
(Chorus)

Turning our thoughts to all those

The weight of the world laid on your shoulders
And you wore it well
Your work here was done as God’s own Son
His grace you lived to tell

I know it is over now
I know it is over now

You took on sin and death for the Kingdom you came to defend

Looking with kindness and mercy on those who were cursing your name
Amazing grace

I know it is over now
I know it is over now
I know it is over, It is over now

The Great Assembly
(Words by Erin Martin, Music by Erin & Andrew Martin)

And leads me by still waters to restore my thirsty soul
To the Morning Star who lights the way as I tread the deepest valleys

To the one who fills my lungs with breath, as long as I have air

All my life a melody of your acclaim
I’ll sing Your praise in the great assembly

And utters words of life sustaining more than daily bread
To the giver of forgiveness whose life and death has earned our entrance

To the one who fills my lungs with breath, as long as I have air

Throw It Down
(Words by Erin Martin, Music by Erin & Andrew Martin)
Verse 1:
If I can hold it in my hands
If I can see it with my eyes
It was made by You
For Your purpose
So many possibilities
What God could do if I believed
He can use anything
To heal a heart
To set his people free
Pre-Chorus:
Why do I take Your word for granted and concede
To a life lived with limits and mediocrity
Chorus:
I, I want the very same power
Moses used to part the sea
Jesus called upon
For Heaven’s victory
Lord, for the moments in my day
To turn the tools You’ve put before me
To mighty instruments
To reveal Your glory
Verse 2:
If it is resting on the earth
If it is hanging in the sky
It was made by You
For Your purpose
So many possibilities
What God could do if we believed
He can use anything
To heal a heart
To set his people free
Pre-Chorus
Chorus
Bridge:
Throw it down, throw it down
Let Your staff become the snake
Throw it down, throw it down
Let God provide the way
Throw it down, throw it down
I can still hear you say
I Am Who I say I Am
I Am Who I say I Am
Who do you say I am?
Chorus
