Melissa Otto Lyrics
To struggle along the way I have my friend who always sticks around
Don’t give up, the victory is sure enough I’m completely safe here, I know I belong Since I was young I knew you loved me
For angels fight beside the one And so I’ve known I could always run home to you
Who desires to overcome Verse 1 Through thorny ways I have my old friend
The victory is sure In nothing or no-one else will my whole heart depend
How kind, how gentle, how humble you love Track 5 - Rise again
Don’t be intimidated,
Do not boast over me my enemy Verse 3 Don’t ever leave
For my Father is the victor I need you with me I need you here
Your darkness only makes Him brighter Do not rejoice over me my enemy Father I know
He’ll make me more than a conqueror Every trial makes me stronger That you will never go
When I fall I will rise again Every failure makes me wiser You’ll never leave me here
When I fall I will rise again Chorus I see that we’re tired by a lack of love
When I fall I will rise again But we keep performing to try to keep up
When I fall I will rise again Track 6 - You’ll Never Leave We get so confused because we are so lied to
Verse 2 Verse 1
Verse 3
Do not gloat over me my enemy I feel like a little girl in this fallen world
Disappointments push me deeper And I get terrified unless I know you’re with me We weren’t made for this
Into dependence on my Father It’s a troubled place, but there is beauty too We weren’t made to die
I hold onto Him my helper Wherever we haven’t completely blocked You Only happiness was suppose to make us cry
When I fall I will rise again We are all starving for a world we’ve never known
Chorus
I’m not alone you are near And while You are with me what is there to fear Verse 1
The night might be falling but your light is here For your love is greater than eternity is
It’s constant, it will never fade What better hope is there than this I know how it speaks
And heavens not so far away Soon the earth with its troubles will have all passed away I know the look in its eyes
Its peace and its joy on this journey I’ll take And your grand perfection will take up its place I know that it’s patient
Its help will be with me until morning breaks No heavens not so far away I know that it’s kind
Chorus Chorus 2
Chorus
Chorus 1
I’m sorry, I let fear and doubt in Track 10 - Fallen For You
I know it would give its life for me Chorus You knew I was broken
I know its voice, and what is lovely to me So gentle with my pain and my confusion
Though nothing stronger, it sounds like a melody Why should I be afraid Patiently showing me what true love is
Bridge
Tell me how did we let You go There’s nothing else I could try to do
How did we let You go Would You be close to me, and calm my anxious mind A spark became a fire now I’m consumed
How did we let You go Remind me of your goodness, remove the dark thoughts that You find So deeply in love with You
How did we let You go Would You fill my empty spaces, and strengthen me with real hope
In Your love, in all You’ve promised, in the place You’re preparing for Verse 2
my home
Track 9 -Why should I
And now I see the way that you fought for me
To win my heart, my trust, you fought tirelessly Chorus Verse 2
Until I could see that You truly loved me Track 11 - Take you home You never had the love you needed
Verse 3 You shouldn’t hear those awful words I want to take you home
While I tried to pay for your grace In your heart you’ve made a wall Chorus
While I tried to make up for all my mistakes So life can’t hurt you anymore
Trying to earn Your love, trying to deserve it I want to take you home Bridge
You said, just trust my love for you, please fall deep into it
Where the grass bends gently No saying goodbye to the people you love
My heart breaks by the beauty of Your love As the bright sky goes No troubles to take the joy from life
Nothing spared for my freedom, not even Your Son Where your tears are an old thing
My heart aches, and feels so alive at the same time That you use to know Where there’s horses to ride
I’ll be forever Yours, You’ll be forever mine Oh I want to take you home Over vast mountainsides
Brush your face in his mane Only forever will do Track 13 - Goodnight my Sunny
Verse 2
Take me, take me, take me home I searched for the one I wish I was next to you
Chorus But you quickly solved the riddle Until the sun came up and
Track 12 -All I want is you Of all my love Under the same starry sky
All that you mean to me Your love is like a wooden cabin Then, we’d run around the lake
All that you bring Sitting on the green rolling hills And sit down for breakfast
With the sunlight streaming in through my window I’d get your cereal just the way you like then
Chorus And the sweet smell of pine on the breeze I’d fill your water bottle, look for your keys
Kiss you at the door, and wave I know you’ll hold him through the night
Until I couldn’t see you anymore Your love is much greater than mine Verse 2
Verse 2 Remake me
Verse 1
But, you’re on the other side of the world right now Show me the hope You have for me
And while your day has ended mine’s begun Father, take my whole heart Your belief in who I could be
But, in my heart we’re together Take my whole life If you help me, walk beside me
So, God bless your son Until my heart beats, and my steps meet with Yours
Fill up his heart and mind Teach me Your ways of life Chorus
And would you please give him a hug from me Of how to be Your child Chorus 2
Verse 2
Guide my feet in the ways of peace None tell of troubles or fears Look around, everywhere to see
By Your spirit, by Your might For though we walked through thorny ways Is beauty without stain
Now we walk through fields of flowers For you the Father of life is king
Chorus 1
Verse 1 Chorus 2
Verse 3
Now we walk into endless day Counting us a precious enough BLUE SKY ALBUM
Verse 1
To come down to the earth Track 2 - LIGHT AS A BIRD Light as a bird I could fly
And to lay down His life That’s the way I always feel
And as the sun set Verse 1 When Your love melts away my fears
His blood spilled over the night For You have revived
As He became the black that belonged to you Light as a bird I could fly Breathed new life
His beloved That’s the way I always feel To the dreams You put inside
Chorus For I had been tired, troubled mind Deep inside my mind
As He shattered your dark Light as a bird for You have shown Fear and failure lose their power
To make you the blue of His pure life All my weaknesses you’ve known For in Your eyes I see that You’re still proud
Victorious beams Still You pick me up saying And so the light I want to show
Have raised you up with Him Together we can do it keep running Is how You have loved me perfect
Child I’m not finished yet Your comforts delight my soul
Chorus
Verse 2
To pull me out from the midst of my enemy Oh He holds me so closely I’m afraid that you don’t know
Here He comes And by His grace He is mine That I care for you so much
To vanquish His enemies No power can loosen His grip on me That I try not to so much
Fighting with a fierce love I’m so tightly held by His mighty love But here is my predicament
A love stronger than death That you’re not mine you’re just a friend
Verse 1 Bridge
Chorus
Gentle and quiet Your mercy Oh Lord holds me up So lets keep our hearts secure in our Fathers hands
His voice assured me again In the multitude of my thoughts As we seek and pray for His will and His plans
I will always love you as my brother and my friend It stands like a strong tower As I make this pledge to you
To only bless you in this time is my earnest prayer That no storm could ever shake That my love would be a strong tower
Until we both know which way to go No I’ve never seen your love move That I’ll be forever true
Nor the colours of it fade I’ll give my all to make you happy
Verse 2 Its tones only look deeper Be your support in all you do
I know that you’re a child of His Verse 2 My love will never move
I see how He is making your heart so big My love will never move
I love all the things that make up who you are I know that even if I swayed
I love your raw knowing of your need for God Even if I stumbled Track 6 - ENJOY THE SUNSHINE
Track 5 - NEVER MOVE For in you His heart I see Warm on your skin
Verse 3
Because the lion has no teeth Okay so your presence attracted me like gravity
Smell the fragrance of spring flowers Your fears are not what they seem Okay so you loved me and changed my world eternally
Carry gently on the breeze Your chains aren’t attached to anything Well it’s much more than okay dearest friend forever stay
Track 7 - RUN, RUN On the ground fallen down need healing You are the only one
Verse 1 What’s the use self abuse still screaming Most precious gift of God
Head down heavy heart mind spinning Show me the way of peace Verse 2
And eternity it couldn’t be long enough I’m sure Hopes all things
Verse 1 Chorus
Chorus
Love is patient and is kind Track 11 - THIS IS NOT WHO YOU ARE
Where you dwell let me dwell with you Chorus Sin has stained my guilty heart
May nothing but death separate you and me As dark crimson lost and defiled
May our love grow through all eternity Love love love Just let me be, You can’t fix me
Bridge 2
I’ll love you til forever Does not rejoice in iniquity This is not who you are
In a way that is worthy of You My Lord who fought for my peace Are His most earnest of cares
My path is set Saying I will not rest until she is Mine The Son of God tempted in all points
Just please forget me Until I have clothed her so bright Yet in all points without sin
Chorus
Hear the passion in My cry Who has bought me with His own blood Verse 1
You’re My beauty and My desire The fervent love of my redeemer Oh the sweetness of being here with You
Your loving selfless way For you’ve brought me out into Your marvellous light
Verse 2 Forget the dark places you’ve been Lay your troubles down
For now you are a child of His My shoulders strong enough to hold you
With the old man that I now hate A recreated child of His Lay your troubles down
Let him be nothing else but dead My shoulders strong enough to hold you
To hold you
That I might exist as alive Track 14 - FALLING IN YOUR ARMS AGAIN
Only in Christ I am free
Verse 2
Only in Christ so happy Verse 1
Refining fire, healing my mind
With heavy steps I come to You
Mould me into the image of Love Falling in Your arms again
I see Your smile and I am soothed
The image of Love It doesn’t matter where I am
As I reach out again
Beautiful image of You I can always lean back
You take hold of my hands
Who is Love And find the arms that always calm me down
As tears fill up my eyes
No trouble too much for You
As I hear You lullaby
Verse 3 No tangle you can’t undo
You always find a way
Chorus
Here is the life To stand me up again and send me on my way
Knowing my heart’s cry for freedom From the dark depths of despair I’m by your side and I’ll take good care of you
Longing to flood Your love into the pain of emptiness Love lifted me It’s alright
That gave everything for my freedom Track 2 - It’s Alright And I know all that you go through
No one is like Him And He’ll take good care of me I want you to know
His love unfathomable It’s alright I think more of you than what you could yourself
No love is like His He’s on my side My love is deeper than the oceans
And He knows my every need Wider than the valleys higher than the mountain tops
I was hiding for the shame of my nakedness Oh you of little faith I said,
Trying to cover myself in vain See the sparrows in the sky You formed then fought for my heart
You came to me with your own white garment Unencumbered by the cares of the world Father how great Thou art
You came to me by Your sacrifice I feed even them I know all that You are seems too good but it’s true
I thought surely You’d be ashamed of me by now How much more to Me are you worth than these Love me unconditionally
Surely You’d have given up on me by now I gave My Son for you Father of mine how did You
Give your Son for me Here I am Yet you took me by my hands
Track 3 - All day long When my eyes stay on Your beautiful face Asking lovingly please
All the things of the world quickly fade away Be forever mine
All day long You stretched Your arms out to me It is here you take my sin sick heart
Saying here I am And it is healed by Your consuming love Come baby, come baby, come
All day long I searched for my heart’s longing Now we stay all the day in each other’s arms Come baby, come baby, come here
You said here I am Holding tight, singing in You I abide and You in me I want to make you free
Here I am Now I stay all the day in you Let Me take your rags
You were jealous for my heart In You I abide and You in me Lead you in the way
Aching for the suffering they gave me In You I abide and You in me
Pleading for my heart’s response to your wooing love What patient faithful love Track 5 - Father To The Fatherless
That remained all the day earnestly knocking In You I abide and You in me.
All day long you stretched your arms out to me Track 4 - Come Baby You kneel down to teach me
Here I am I would understand if You were angry And I Your true child
All day long I searched for what the world couldn’t give It would make more sense if You
You said here I am Turned away from me It is You who called me out
Of my mother’s womb They would outnumber Goodbye old man
Your ears are opened The grains of sand I hope not to see you again
Abba Father, You walk with me You walk with me The old has gone
Taking me all the way home Taking me all the way home Behold the new has come
When I start to feel weary All the way home With you I never did have fun
You beckon me to that quiet moment with You When I start to feel weary Goodbye old man
I am not alone
Now I know my identity You’re with me all the way home God gave Him who knew no sin to
The child of the one who fashioned me Become sin for us that we might be
Who’s known me from the beginning Track 6 - Goodbye Old Man Reconciled to our Father
You pulled me out of my wandering I thought I walked in liberty His law is the law of liberty
You broke through my blindness They were the very things that binded me Oh the memories with you I’ve had too many
Now I see Goodbye old man But you’ll have no more with me
My everlasting Father You promised you had what would fill me Goodbye old man
How precious are Your thoughts to me Leaving my heart completely empty Track 7 - Cling tight
He opened to me
The blessings of His victory Oh sovereign Lord My love let us not forget
I hear you Who trains my hands for the day of battle This battle is not ours but the Lord’s
Call on My name You rescue me from my strong enemy May we trust Him to lead us all through
I care for you You take me by the right hand and say
Come to me you’re burdened and weary Do not fear I will help you Track 9 - I like it Best
You colour in
Cling tight, dear heart Track 8 - Moses & Zipporah The red of my heart
If you lose all of your might Darling I will stay I like it best when you’re next to me
Dear heart With you as you follow God’s way Most cherished friend
Your King holds on to you May my heart be an expression I pray this love will never end
He gives me freedom Faithful, unstoppable, true I like it best when you’re next to me
And He will complete the good work He began in me Let me comfort your heart Don’t awaken love
When my soul calls for help from a desert When the way’s rough Til it desires
You find me and carry me through it Lift your head up when you’ve had enough A gift from God
Saying breathe, just breathe May I love you with God’s heart for you When it comes
Patience til it does We rejoice in your love I was lost in sin
Learn in the meantime But You reached down and pulled me out
God’s more than enough Track 10 - See With New Eyes To be lost in Your great love
I know that God is full of mercy Trust in your Father’s love Strong and boundless
You’re the most amazing creature that I have ever seen Don’t let doubt enter into your heart Never ending love
And I know that God has brought me to you Every breath that you breathe Never ending love
Most treasured gift ever entrusted to me Track 11 - While you are sleeping
I like it best when you’re next to me Regretting and fretting While you are sleeping
See him watching her (why of all the lovely things) See through new eyes
See him make her laugh (why of all the lovely things) The old self has died Falling asleep
See her make him grin (why of all the lovely things) Do not go back to your old chains To your sweet melody
By the joy she brings Your life cost Him dearly Singing that you’ll be forever with me
We rejoice in your love Even the life of His Son Caressing my head til every troubled thought slips away
That you might be redeemed And I sleep because you’ll be forever with me
And we pray God bless the beautiful union You are forgiven and clean
That they know your love Arise and walk in the freedom he bought for you While you are sleeping
Nothing can snatch you out of my hand Saying good morning Through them runs a river laughing in Your grace
Because child you are Mine Would you spend time with your Maker Night falls as a child kneels by his bed and prays
Track 12 - Patio
Tenderly watching me Lightly on the patio The sun beats down and then I know
Hoping that when I wake The sun beats down and then I know Your love’s irreplaceable
I’ll know that you’re still with me You love’s irreplaceable Too beautiful to let go
To that quiet place Oh I can see the sun it warms everything surrounding me
So you can strengthen my heart I hear the waves splash on the rocky shore There is no greater love than the one I know is holding me
With fresh knowledge of your love Birds fly high, trees sway in time
If I don’t wake up in the morning to spend time with You Night sky transforms to a brilliant blue The sun beats down and then I know
Then please, please wake me Clouds roll by as green grass tries to grow closer to You Your love is so beautiful
Then please, please remind me Lightly on the patio Track 13 - See You When We Get There
The sun came up and kissed the sky Your love’s irreplaceable It doesn’t seem quite right
Courage, courage until we get there We are here for just a little while
Fellow pilgrim
My sister…
