Contemporary Lyrics
I don't need my name in lights
I'm famous in my Father's eyes
Make no mistake
He knows my name
I'm not living for applause
I'm already so adored
It's all His stage
He knows my name
He Knows My Name by Francesca Battistelli
Angels from the realms of Glory
wing your flight o'er all the earth;
ye who sang creation's story
now proclaim Messiah's birth:
Come and worship, come and worship,
worship Christ, the newborn king.
Angels from the Realms of Glory
Jesus Paid it All

We hide pain in the weirdest places
Broken souls with smiling faces

Are scared to say how they really feel, oh
We all need a little honesty
You are Loved by Stars Go Dim

responsive to his call,
to him all majesty ascribe,
and crown him Lord of all.
To him all majesty ascribe,

Hark! The Herald Angels Sing
For all the times I fell down, you showed me how to stand
And when we crossed the ocean, you were my safe place to land
Been on a thousand stages, but when it's all said and done
I hope I make you proud of, of the man that I've become

And there may I, though vile as he,
Wash all my sins away:
There is a Fountain Filled with Blood

21 Years
Beginning, just let that word wash over you
It's alright now, love's healing hands have pulled you through
So get back up, take step one
Leave the darkness, feel the sun
'Cause your story's far from over
And your journey's just begun
Tell Your Heart to Beat Again by Danny Gokey
Be thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight;
Be thou my dignity, thou my delight.
Thou my soul's shelter, thou my high tow'r;
Raise thou me Heav'nward, O Pow'r of my pow'r.
Riches I heed not, nor vain, empty praise;
Thou mine inheritance, now and always.
Thou and thou only, first in my heart,
High King of Heaven, my treasure thou art.
Be Thou my Vision
