lyrics by Andrew Peterson

"let me sing"

I want to open up my eyes/And see a more beautiful world/Let the hand of God Almighty/Sweep His colors through my life/I want to hold tight to the laughter/And ride it like a child/On the winds that billow joyful/Through the sky

I want to open up my heart/But you know sometimes it's hard to find/Because I've buried it beneath the selfishness/That I've hidden behind/I want to stand my ground unshaken/But I want to tremble when I kneel/And let my song remain unbroken/Through the tears

chorus: So let me sing for the love/Let me love for the lost/Let me lose all I have/For what I found on the cross/Let me trust You with my life/Let me live to give You praise/Lord, let me praise You/For the grace by which I'm saved/Lord, let me sing

I want to open up Your word/And let the thirsty enter in/So they can drink deep of the water/That You've given to them/I want to run the race with vigor/I want to fight the fight with strength/And let my song rise from a whisper to a scream

I want to open up my arms/And embrace that old rugged cross/I want to take pride in the reason/And be humbled by the cause/And when this lisping, stammering tongue/Lies silent in the grave/Then in a nobler, sweeter song/I'll sing Your praise/I'll sing Your praise


"no more faith"

This is not another song about the mountains/Except about how hard they are to move/Have you ever stood before them/Like a mustard seed who's waiting for some proof

pre-chorus: I say faith is a burden/It's a weight to bear/It's brave and bittersweet/And hope is hard to hold to/Lord, I believe/Only help my unbelief

chorus: Till there's no more faith/No more hope/I'll see Your face and Lord, I'll know/When there's no more faith/And no more hope/I'll sing Your praise and let them go/'Cause only love/Only love remains

Have you heard it said that Jesus is the answer/And thought about the many doubts you hide/Have you wondered how He loves you/If He really knows how dark you are inside

So I will drive these roads in thunder and in rain/And I will sing Your song at the top of my lungs/And I will praise You, Lord, in glory and in pain/And I will follow You till this race is won/And I will drive these roads till this motor won't run/And I will sing Your song from sea to shining sea/And I will praise You, Lord, till your kingdom comes/And I will follow where You lead
