01/ The Mountains Declare listen LyricsThe Mountains Declare
Audrey Woodhams
On the highest hilltop
Where the evergreens blow in the wind
There is a standing ovation
And every morning it begins again
Out across the valleys
Where the wildflowers decorate the fields
There is a joyful celebration
To see the wonders of God revealed
chorus
The mountains declare,
Declare Your praises, they shout,
“Oh, Praise God, Oh, Praise the Lord!”
The valleys, the seas
They sing in worship, they shout,
“Oh, Praise God, Oh, Praise the Lord!”
And we behold His greatness
In the goodness of all He has made
Strength and beauty collide here
Eternal power and love displayed
For the warmth of the sunshine
And the darkness of clouds o’re the waves
It all speaks He is mighty
And reminds us He’s mighty to save
chorus
instrumental/whoa section
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

On the highest hilltop
Out across the valleys

02/ A Thousand Different Colors listen LyricsA Thousand Different Colors
Audrey Woodhams
The silver white waves
Wash up and bathe my feet
I look out but cannot see the other side
The surface water sways
Azure, gold, and green
Glittering the full spectrum of light
The sea is not blue
The sea is like You
Chorus
A thousand different colors
Moving altogether
More beautiful, more beautiful than words
It’s a symphony of sound
Singing subtly but loud
More beautiful, more beautiful than words
More beautiful, more beautiful than words
The sun goes down and disappears
The clouds wave their goodbyes
In a masterpiece of light and melody
Wind whispers in my ears
And sings a lullaby
As seagulls call and surf the evening breeze
The sky is not blue
The sky is like you
Chorus
Bridge
How great is the expanse of all you are to me
I try but still I can’t describe all your diversity
How you love, how you lead
You’re like the sky, like the sea
Chorus
03/ A Sunrise listen LyricsA Sunrise
Audrey Woodhams
A new day dawning inside of my heart
You struck a match, lit a flame in the dark
Consumed the night, gave me a new start
A new start
(chorus 1)
Like a sunrise, sunrise
Like a sunrise, sunrise
Only one window can fill a room with light
And just one kindness can lift up a life
And just one truth cuts through the lies
Cut through the lies
(chorus 2)
Like a sunrise, sunrise
Like a blue sky, sunrise
(bridge)
His mercies new now every morning
He loves to give them away
There’s time to sleep, yeah, a time for snoring
And a time for coming awake
Awake…
Like a sunrise, sunrise
(chorus 3)
It’s a sunrise, sunrise
It’s a blue sky, blue sky, yeah
Sunrise
It’s a new day, it’s a new day
Like a sunrise, like a sunrise
04/ One Word listen LyricsOne Word
Audrey Woodhams
I come with heartache
And confusion
I come with drowning
Disillusion
I come with overwhelming fear
Cause the world is out of my control
(chorus)
But one word from You will set my heart at ease
One gentle touch will be my soul’s release
You know just what my weariness needs
One word, one word
You spoke to tempest
To the violence
Rebuked the wild waves
And there was silence
For there is no wind or wave
In the world that’s out of Your control
Oh…
chorus
Just one word, one word
(bridge)
And the waves pound upon my heart
And the fear tears my world apart
But you speak a light into the dark
With one word
I come with heartache
And confusion
I come with drowning
Disillusion
But there is no wind or wave
In the world that’s out of your control
Oh…
chorus
From you, just one word, one word
05/ Radiant listen LyricsRadiant
Audrey Woodhams
There is no condemnation
In the place where You are
Just a kind invitation
From a gentle Father’s heart
And no great expectations
In Your throne room above
I come boldly as I am
And You say that it’s enough
(chorus)
And when I look to You
My face is radiant
And I am unashamed
In spirit and in truth
I give my highest praise
And none can separate
Me from Your love
I called out for Your rescue
And You answered my cry
I will make You my refuge
Every moment of my life
You’re the Source of all Wisdom
You’re the Giver of Grace
You’re the Founder of Freedom
The Destroyer of Disgrace
(chorus)
(bridge)
You’ve delivered my soul from death
My eyes from tears
My feet from stumbling
You give me my every breath
You calm my fears
When the world is crumbling
(chorus)
06/ You Will Comfort Me listen LyricsYou Will Comfort Me
Audrey Woodhams
verse 1
I can face any fear
I can cry a thousand tears
For I know that You are here
And You will comfort me
verse 2
You say that blessed are those who mourn
For not a teardrop will be ignored
And Your great love will be my reward
As You comfort me
chorus 1
I am in Your arms, in Your embrace
And I sense a smile upon Your face
You’re beaming love, You’re glowing grace
As You comfort me
verse 3
I can lay my burdens down
I can rest here safe and sound
As all I’ve lost in You is found
As You comfort me
chorus 2
In my deepest heart I am so poor
So now I receive You all the more
For You are mine, and I am Yours
As You comfort me
verse 4
I can face any fear
I can cry a thousand tears
For I know that You are here
And You will comfort me
Yes, You will comfort me
07/ Not My Father listen LyricsNot My Father
Audrey Woodhams and Dwight Liles
My daddy was the All-Star high school running back
For the hometown academy
And my momma was a city girl, sharp as a tack
First in her class at the university
So I played little league, and I studied hard
Trying to succeed, trying to play the part
(chorus)
But I was not my father
I was not my mother
Even though I had his blue eyes and her smile
I’m thankful for all that’s flowing down the family line
But everything they’ve given me don’t have to be mine
Cause I am not my father
I am not my mother
I was seventeen when Daddy brought home my first guitar
He sat down and had a talk with me
He said you know my momma and my daddy ran the family farm
I thought that was who I had to be
Now for years and years, I’ve worked that land
Yeah, it took some time, but now I understand
chorus
Well, later that same year, Daddy found a job he liked
And his farming days were history
And I packed up my guitar, kissed my mom and dad goodbye
And I made the move to Tennessee
Now on the shoulders of the ones who’ve gone before
A child goes reaching out for just a little more
I am not my father
I am not my mother
08/ Nature of Knowledge listen LyricsNature of Knowledge
Audrey Woodhams
Galileo looked up in the cathedral
He saw the chandelier swinging to and fro
And how’d he know
Priests and scientists they labeled him an outcast
For thinking something no one thought before
An earth not in the center anymore
(chorus)
And isn’t that the nature of the knowledge we’re after
We think one and one is two is how it all fits together
Then revelation comes and blows it all out of the water
And isn’t that the nature of knowledge
Ole Columbus had a hunch he’d find a new way
He sailed his ship out toward the setting sun
He was not the first one
Everybody said he’d fall off of the planet
But he dropped anchor in San Salvador
A whole new world to explore
chorus
That’s just the nature of knowledge
bridge
Things are changing
We lose our bearings
But it’s the way things
Have been and will be
Only God knows
Which way the wind blows
And each discovery shows
Life is still a mystery…still a mystery
It’s just the nature of knowledge
Always something new to blow your mind
chorus
09/ Sow in Sorrow listen LyricsSow in Sorrow
Audrey Woodhams
It’s the end of act two, seems there’s nothing left to do
But cry your tears
But then the plot breaks through, and somehow the happy ending
Still appears
It’s an age-old story
There’s a loss, but the reward is coming soon, and
There’s a cross, but there will be an empty tomb
(chorus)
For those who sow in sorrow, reap with joy and singing
Those who sow in tears, will rejoice bringing in the sheaves
Looking to tomorrow, hoping and believing
Those who sow in sorrow, reap with joy and singing
You have a measure of seed
All your hopes and all your dreams are in your hands
Will you hide it in fear
Or sow and water with tears the barren land?
It’s an ancient mystery
Keep your life and you will lose it all indeed
But loose your life and you will live abundantly
(chorus)
(bridge)
Oh, it’s an ancient mystery
An enduring promise
An age-old story
Seedtime, harvest
Seedtime, harvest
Seed, time, harvest
10/ Wherever You Are listen LyricsWherever You Are
Audrey Woodhams and Don Poythress
It’s a little bit strange walking through this grocery store
Not seeing a single soul I recognize
Back home I couldn’t even get through the front door
Without hello’s and old familiar smiles
(chorus)
But that’s ok with me
Cause wherever you are
Is where I want to be
Baby near or far
As long as we’re together
Home’s wherever
You are with me
All my life home was up near Muddy Creek
Where everybody knew my granddad’s name
Even before I was born my roots ran deep
And I know this new town can never be the same
(chorus)
(bridge)
We may be miles and miles from friends and family
We may be just another number on this street
But I lay my head down on your chest to fall asleep
And I know I’m where I need to be
I need to be…
Wherever you are
Baby near or far
As long as we’re together
Home is wherever
You are with me
As long as we’re together
Home is wherever
You are with me
11/ The World Has So Much Beauty listen LyricsThe World Has So Much Beauty
Audrey Woodhams
There is a pink glow, on the snow
As the sun rises on the Alps in Switzerland
And the church bells ring, hear them sing
Declaring the gift of a brand new day
The cows are grazing on the mountainside
And, God, I’m grateful just to be alive
(chorus)
The world has so much beauty
The world has so much beauty
The world is so beautiful
My little girl, likes to twirl
Around in her favorite dress – she smiles and laughs, falls in the grass
And my boy’s getting dirt, on his shirt
It’s his Sunday best and he’s playing hide and seek with his daddy
That man is more and more the love of my life
And I’m thinking this must be what heaven’s like
(chorus)
(bridge)
The blue skies of Tuscany
The mountains of Tennessee
Every day a masterpiece
In the sunsets on Trenholm Road
In the falling Colorado snow
Creation is singing
(chorus x2)
The blue skies of Tuscany
The mountains of Tennessee
Every day a masterpiece
Every day a masterpiece

01/ Evidence listen Lyrics“Evidence”
Audrey Hatcher Woodhams/Adam Moritz
Stepped out on the porch on a warm summer night
To hear the crickets singing their love songs
I look up at the stars shining their light
Declaring Your praises all night long
(channel)
And there was a time when I never noticed
Now I’m wondering how I missed this
(chorus)
Evidence of Your glory
All around me, all around
So beautiful, too wonderful for me
This evidence, evidence of Your glory, yeah
Sat down to lunch with a couple of friends
Reminiscing about the old days
And all the things we worried about back then
Are now stories that prove Your faithful ways

02/ Spirit Move listen Lyrics“Spirit Move”
Audrey Hatcher Woodhams
You are the air
I breathe You in
You fill me and everything all around
And when You move
You are the wind
Breathing life into the dust on the ground
Sometimes You are a gentle breeze
Sometimes You bring me down to my knees
But still You’ll find me praying please, please…
(chorus)
Spirit move
Move in me
Come fulfill all that was spoken
Move in power
Set me free
Come restore all that was stolen
Spirit move
There in the dark
Before the age
You hovered over the face of the deep
Now in the light
All that was made
Searches for the mysteries that You keep
You speak in parables and dreams
I wonder over all that it means
Still this will be the song I sing, oh…
chorus
Move in power
Set me free
Come restore all that was stolen
chorus

03/ Liars & Thieves listen Lyrics“Liars and Thieves”
Audrey Hatcher Woodhams/Dwight Liles
We are a rabble of liars and thieves
Drunkards and scalawags
Dead-beats and losers
Failures, abusers
Covered in rags.
We are a mob full of anger and pride
Selectively deaf and blind
Dropouts and quitters
Traitors, pretenders
Sinners of all kinds.
(chorus)
We are making our way to the river
We are diving down deep in the flood
We are coming up clean and forgiven
Liars and thieves washed in the blood.
He is our faithful savior
Filling our cups with His wine
Cleaning our faces
Giving us graces
Dressing us fine.
Oh, and He is our humble shepherd
Seeing and hearing our pain
Healing, confiding
Leading and guiding
Hiding our shame.
chorus
We are making our way
We are diving down deep
We are coming up clean
Liars and thieves…
chorus

04/ Let Me Hear Your Voice listen Lyrics“Let Me Hear Your Voice”
Audrey Hatcher Woodhams/Adam Moritz
What I really want
Is for the voices in my mind to go to sleep
And for all the noise that’s been distracting me
To quiet down
And what I really hope
Is that I’ll endure the silence long enough
To be around when You finally speak up
That gentle sound
(chorus)
Oh, let me hear Your voice
Let me hear Your voice
Rumbling like thunder
Tender as a lover
Let me hear Your voice
For all I really seek
Is to hear You say that You have heard my cry
For Your words to fall like manna from the sky
To feed my soul
For all I really need
Is to enter deep into Your dwelling place
To kneel before You as You teach me Your ways
Your word is life
(chorus 2)
Let me hear You, let me hear You,
Let me hear Your voice
(rpt. 1x)

05/ Mysterious You listen Lyrics“Mysterious You”
Audrey Hatcher Woodhams/Stephen Leiweke
Sometimes things don’t go like I thought they would
I end up feeling confused and misunderstood
Faith is only the voice reminding me
You are good
Sometimes I think I’ve got it all figured out
And then my world takes an unexpected turnabout
I find myself struggling with all those
same old doubts
Oh I know You
But who are You
And I see You
But where are You
(chorus)
Mysterious You
You know I’m hanging on for the ride
Mysterious truth
You know I’m (just) hanging on for life
Cause when an easy answer won’t suffice
In the moments when to praise you is a sacrifice
Somehow still I know your way is worth the price
Oh I’m living
But I’m dying
And I’m falling
But I’m flying
chorus
Cause sometimes things don’t go like I thought they would But I’m hanging on for life
06/ Oh Jesus listen Lyrics“Oh Jesus”
Audrey Hatcher Woodhams
Oh Jesus
I am weary
I’ve been holding up and holding on so long
I’m so tired
And so lonely
And everybody round here needs me to be strong
Oh Jesus
I am fearful
Deep down I’m afraid that I’m not good enough
All this pressure
I have ears full
And I can’t help but wonder if I’ll measure up
I’m trying follow
Trying to be true
All I feel is hollow
Swallowed
Crying out to you
Oh Jesus.
Oh Jesus
I’ve been foolish
Yeah, I have managed to make my share of mistakes
Oh, I know now I can’t do this
Without you and an awful lot of grace
I’m trying follow
Trying to be true
I just feel so hollow
Swallowed
Holding on to you
Oh Jesus.
Oh Jesus
Won’t you hold me
Wrap me up and keep me warm all though the night
Gently whisper while I sleep
That you’re here and everything will be alright
Yeah, you’re here and everything will be alright
Oh, Jesus

07/ Surrounded listen Lyrics“Surrounded”
Audrey Hatcher Woodhams
Why should I be discouraged?
And why should I be afraid
When my God is on my side?
My God is on my side
(chorus)
And He goes before me
He stands behind me
He watches over all my ways
And He walks beside me
He lives within me
I am surrounded in His embrace
Surrounded in His embrace
Why should I feel forsaken?
And why should I feel alone
When my God is on my side?
Yes, my God is on my side
Chorus

08/ I Hear You listen Lyrics“I Hear You”
Audrey Hatcher Woodhams/Brandon Fraley
I made the earth and sky.
I make the eagles fly.
(And) My arm is not to short to save you.
But how easily you fret.
How quickly you forget
All the promises I made you.
I see the sparrow fall.
I’m mindful of it all.
(chorus)
You cry help me and I hear you.
You cry help me and I’ll rescue.
You know I know your need before you call.
When you need me I will provide.
When you need me I’m by your side.
You know I’m never gonna let you fall.
You cry help me and I hear you.
You’ve tried it on your own.
You’ve tried to walk alone.
But I’ve always been right there beside you.
You’ve turned to me for help.
You know there’s no one else.
I am the One who will revive you.
Cast all your care on me.
Trust and believe.
Chorus
I see the sparrow fall.
I’m mindful of it all.

Audrey Hatcher Woodhams/Dwight Liles
You’re beautiful. I know it well
For all creation lives to tell
From ocean depths to mountain peaks
You’re wondrous works cry “Glory!”
All I behold is just the start
More beautiful, Your loving heart
Than ocean waves, than mountain snows
Than all the joys this world bestows
(chorus)
You’re beautiful
Oh Love of my life
You are the source of endless pleasures
My joy, and my delight
The way You love disarms my soul
The way Your mysteries unfold

On all You are for all my days

I will sing my song to the Lord God Almighty
Sing my song, sing my song
I will sing my song to the Lord God Almighty
Sing my song, sing my song

Because He washed me with His blood
And clothed me with His light

By Him who made all things
Because He breathed His breath in my soul
And lifts my voice to sing
