Your Name Is Near
Lee Black / Gina Boe / Sue C Smith
How can you be so quiet
How can you stay so still
How can you watch in silence
How could this be your will

So much I can’t explain
But even while these questions remain

Your name is near
I call, You’re here
Close enough to hold my heart
Jesus you are never far away
‘Cause your name is near

Darkness is all around me
Sorrow’s an angry sea
But I am not abandoned
And I will never be

Somehow a desperate cry
Brings you running to me every time
​

And there’s power
Power In your name
Jesus, Forever I will say
There is power
Power in your name
Jesus Jesus
Strong enough to save
Why I Sing Hallelujah
J
oseph Habedank / Tony Wood / Gina Boe
There’s a song deep inside me
A melody in my soul
It’s a joy that I’m finding
And it just overflows

There is peace every moment
Strength to keep goin’
Reason for the hope in my heart


That’s why I sing
Why I sing Hallelujah
That’s why I sing
Why I sing Hallelujah
Lookin’ where I was
Seein’ where I am
Knowin’ where I’m goin’
Just does somethin’ to ya
That’s why I sing
Why I sing Hallelujah


I can be so distracted
By what’s right in front of me
And I can get so discouraged
By all the trouble I see


Then the music starts risin’
I get so excited
Gotta praise Him for the hope that’s in me

There’s peace every moment
Strength to keep goin’
Then the music starts risin’
I get so excited
Gotta praise Him for the hope that’s in me


Hope Deserves An Anthem
Gina Boe / Joel Lindsey
How can words and melodies 
Offer any remedy
To weary souls and breaking hearts
How do verses and refrains
Calm a fear or soothe an ache
Or shine a light into the dark

Well I can’t explain this mystery
But I’ve seen it and I’ve felt it and seems to me (that)

Hope deserves an anthem
‘Cause sometimes it's a song
That keeps someone believing
There’s a reason to go on
And people need reminding
Something good is gonna happen
So we sing, we sing
‘Cause hope deserves an anthem
​
Seems like everywhere I turn
Shouts of anger, doubt and hurt
Are ringing out for all to hear
(So) How much louder should the sound
Of love and grace and truth resound
’Til echoes of despair soon disappear

It might as well be me who holds the pen
To tell someone that they can breathe again
But if this is music you’re meant to compose
Then I will sing it loud enough so everybody knows

Hope deserves an anthem
‘Cause sometimes it's a song
That keeps someone believing
There’s a reason to go on
And people need reminding
Something good is gonna happen
So we sing, we sing
‘Cause hope deserves an anthem
God of All Comfort
Lee Black / Sue C. Smith / Karyn Williams
The God that I need today
Is the God of all comfort
I need the hand of grace to rest on me
The God that I need today
Comes when I’m broken
And He whispers life and peace so tenderly

I know He’s holy
I know He’s wise
And it amazes me that God Almighty
Hears me when I cry

The God that I need today
Picks up the pieces
When my broken heart falls to the ground
The God that I need today
Hold me together
Whesn my whole world comes crashing down

I know His power
I trust His hand
And it amazes me that God Almighty
Lifts me up to stand

So come with your tender mercy
Come to the weak and hurting
Come to your people with a hope that only you can bring
And come, draw your children near you
Come, Lord we need to hear you 
Speak your peace inside our hearts

The God that I need today
Is the God of all comfort
The God that I need today is You
The God that I need today
Is the God of all comfort
The God that I need today is You
Whisper of Hope
Kenna West / Jason Cox
I am here, I am still
I'm not letting go until
You speak to my soul
I am desperate, I am longing
I am reaching, I am falling on my knees
Lord, won't you breathe

The whisper of hope, I welcome Your voice
Speak through the chaos and the noise
Follow me now, let mercy rain down until it overflows
As I listen to the whisper of hope

You are God unfailing
You are love never ending
And You are I need
I am broken, I am aching
I am searching, I am waiting on my knees
Lord won't You breathe
The whisper of hope, I welcome Your voice
Speak through the chaos and the noise
Follow me now, let mercy rain down until it overflows
As I listen to the whisper of hope

Oh can you hear it louder than thunder
And gently quiet every doubt

Follow me now, let mercy rain down until it overflows
As I listen to the whisper of hope



Come Near
Jonathan Lee / Gina Boe
The sun hits my face, I'm already weary
Just knowing what this day might bring 
In all of this living it's hard to see clearly
So weighed down by everything
My only hope is holding you close as I cry

Come near, come near
Walk close beside me and I will abide in You
Your love, your love
A faithful companion, You will not abandon me I know
You come near

Life has a way of taking the moments
And chasing our joy away
But I will remember You are the maker
And keeper of all my days
And my only hope is holding You close as I cry

Come near, come near
Walk close beside me and I will abide in You
Your love, your love
A faithful companion, You will not abandon me I know
You come near

No matter how hard my life may become
I lift up my eyes to God's only Son
So now as I'm praying, Lord hear my plea
Reach down from heaven, take hold of me

Come near, come near
Walk close beside me and I will abide in You
Your love, your love
A faithful companion, You will not abandon me I know
You come near


Build
Lee Black / Gina Boe / Donna King
Like a jagged rock shattering a window pane
It broke right through your heart
Now you're standing in the rubble hurting and afraid
From what it tore apart

Life can throw stick and stones, tell you you're through
But you can take all that breaks and turn it into

A tower that rises up from the ruins
A bridge that takes you to the other side
A lighthouse that leads out of the storms and the wreckage
'Cause you were meant to rise
And you will, if you build

When the hammer's heavy and you think your strength is gone
Pick it up anyway
It takes some pushing through to get you to the moving on
But there will come a day

Pain by pain, piece by piece, it all comes together
Brick by brick, stone by stone, you're stronger and better


A tower that rises up from the ruins
A bridge that takes you to the other side
A lighthouse that leads out of the storms and the wreckage
'Cause you were meant to rise
And you will, if you build



Magenta
Lisa Qualsett / Lee Black
Dimly tinted are the days
In shades of stone and sepia
But if it weren't for times like these
​I wouldn't love magenta

If it weren't for tears that fall
And wash the colors colorless
Bleeding fear and joy to one
I wouldn't love magenta

Bursting through the morning sky
Then gone until the end of day
If it burned with every hour
It wouldn't take my breath away

So give me fog and gray sometimes
To keep me grateful for the sun
'Cause if I had a perfect life
I wouldn't love magenta

And how I love magenta

​
Light of Hope
​Gina Boe / Benton Stokes
I've heard the night is darkest just before the dawn
And in my weakest moments you would still be strong
So now when I'm afraid of what I cannot see
I need a glimpse of You through this uncertainty

Light of hope come a break the dawn
Shine your truth to this road that I am on
Show my heart the way through the night of the unknown
'Til I find your mercy in a brand new day
Light of hope


I only need enough Lord to make it one more step
Enough to be reminded You see what's ahead
'Cause I believe You know the way that's best for me
And in the journey I will find You're all the hope I need


Light of hope come a break the dawn
Shine Your truth to this road that I am on
Show my heart the way through the night of the unknown
'Til I find Your mercy in a brand new day
Light of hope
