You Turn
When I look back on my life
All I see is Your goodness
I remember all the times that You healed when I cried
For Your anger lasts a moment
But Your favor is a lifetime
And though weeping may endure
My heart You will restore every time
You turn my mourning into dancing
You turn my sorrow into joy
My heart will sing and not be silent
I will forever praise You Lord
Now I stand upon Your truth
That with You nothing is wasted
You’ll redeem all the pain that I’ve had to endure
And You’re picking up the pieces
Of my heart that’s been shattered
I bring a sacrifice of praise
Your will I will embrace every time
You turn my wasteland into gardens
Broken heart’s made new
You turn my ashes into beauty
This what You do (x2)
It’s what You do God
It’s what You do
This is what You do

Faithful (Through It All)
I surrender all my hopes to You
For Your love for me is stronger than these fears of mine
I’ll remember in the waiting
That Your faithfulness is true
Through it all
You are faithful to lead me
You will never leave or forsake me
When it’s dark and I can’t see
You are faithful to be right beside me
I surrender all my hopes to You
For Your ways for me are greater than these plans of mine
I’ll remember in the waiting
That Your promises are true
Through it all
Won’t go till You say go
I’ll trust and I will follow
I will follow
You are faithful to lead me
You will never leave or forsake me
Through the trial, You keep me
Till the end of the age You are with me

Deep Calls to Deep
As the deer pants for the water
So my soul longs for You
I am thirsty I am hungry for more of You
All my enemies they taunt me
Asking if You’re even with me
I am tired I am weary of crying out
And then I hear a voice as
Deep calls to deep
You are calling to me
Still I will praise You
You are my hope
You’re my Savior and my God
Still I will trust You
For You are good
You’re my Savior and my God
At Your feet I will be waiting
Knowing here is where You meet me
And even though my heart is breaking still I will praise
And then I hear a sound as
Deep calls to deep
You are calling to me
All Your waves and breakers
Have swept over me

Tom’s Song
My health may be failing now
My body may be weak
Still my heart is singing out
It’s only You I seek
My wounds and aches they point
Toward a greater story
One that You’re writing in and through me
This is for Your glory
Oh that the nations will see that You are worthy
Lord be glorified in me
You alone are the King, You deserve the glory
May they know Your love through me
The battle’s not mine but Yours
It’s such a great relief
All I need is to stand and watch
So far beyond belief
On that day I will see You and You say
Well done good and faithful servant
Till my last breath I’ll declare Your praises
Nothing will stop me now

One Day
One day I will look back and see
The plan that You have for me
Was perfect all along
One day the things that were veiled from me
Will be as clear as day
I’m trusting in Your ways
You make all things beautiful
In Your time
In Your time
One day my heart will understand
The beauty of Your great plan
And all will be revealed
One day the things that were hard to bear
Will finally be understood
They’re for Your glory and my good
One day I’ll be in Your embrace
I’ll see You face to face
As You wipe the tears from my eyes
One day there will be no more death
All pain will evaporate
The old has passed away
You make all things new
