AARON SHUST – Life Itself

Before the break of dawn
My heart cries out to You
Where I’m surrounded by my night
Here all my weaknesses will wait upon Your mercy
The hope of dawn from black to white
From black to white
I love You more than life itself
Lord, You are so good to me
I need You more with every breath
So won’t You breathe some life in me
Won’t You breathe some life in me
Awakening the dawn, with all my heart
I sing to You
You are the reaSon that I live
Under me, over, all around I know You’re with me
Never condemning: You forgive
No matter where I go
No matter where I stand
Your Spirit always speaks to me
And tells me whose I am
With every breath I take
And every choice I make
My heart will always sing to You

AARON SHUST – Like I Never Felt Before

(Been) training all this time
I’m at the starting line
A marathon I’m gonna have to run
In such a way as if to win the prize
And I believe
Even though I can’t see
All the athletes from days gone by
Are in the stadium surrounding me
And in the days
before the final phase
I sacrificed the things that held me down
And concentratedly I fixed my gaze.
A shot resounds
My heart begins to pound
And I begin to know what it’s like
To run as if I had nobody around
And I feel like I never felt before
I ran through the open door
And I feel like I never felt before
And it seems You’re aware of so much more
Than I gave You credit for
And I feel like I never felt before

Climbing high
I can almost touch the sky
But every time I’m halfway there
I think I’ll never reach the top alive
But I’m aware
I’m safely in Your care
And with Your help I’ll never face a day
That I am unable to bear
You taught me to crawl
You taught be to stand
You taught me run one step at a time
and watch out for the quicksand
You taught me to live
You taught me to die
You taught me to spread My wings and how to fly

AARON SHUST – Live To Lose

Take my life, take it all
I lay it at Your throne
I am rich, satisfied
When I am Yours alone

I have learned to live to lose
I have found my home in You
I count it all as lose, it’s true
‘Cause I have learned to live to lose

Precious One, crucified
Died to set me free
I hold nothing back from You
Who gave it all for me

I have learned to live to lose
I have found my home in You
I count it all as lose, it’s true
‘Cause I have learned to live to lose

Jesus You’re the One, You’re the only One for me
Jesus You’re the One, You’re the only One for me
Jesus You’re the One, You’re the only One for me
Jesus You’re the One, You’re the only One for me

I have learned to live to lose
I have found my home in You
I count it all as lose, it’s true
I have learned to live
Yes, I have learned to live to lose
I have learned to live to lose

AARON SHUST – I Will Wait

When I am tired You bring me comfort
(I will wait; I will wait for You)
When I am weak You give me strength
(I will wait; I will wait for You)
When I can’t walk You give me wings like an eagle
(I will wait; I will wait for You)
When I’m alone You bring me peace
(I will wait)
I will wait for Your mercy
I will wait for Your plan to unfold
I will wait for Your mercies are new every morning
When I am wounded You heal my broken bones
(I will wait; I will wait for You)
And when I sing You fill my heart with joy
(I will wait; I will wait for You)
And when I fear the unknown You give me peace
(I will wait; I will wait for You)
And when I call, You always answer me
(I will wait)
We wait for You like watchmen wait for morning
We wait for You like creation waits for spring
We wait for You knowing sometimes without warning
You reveal Your plan in ways that maybe we don’t understand

AARON SHUST – In Your Name

In Your name You took the blind man
And You gave him back his sight
In Your name You took the dead man
And You brought him back to life

In Your name You took this prisoner
And You opened up the doors
And I will sing before
Your throne forever more

AARON SHUST – Let The People Praise

Our God is the God of gods
Our Lord is the Lord of kings
The revealer of secrets, of mysteries unknown
Let the people praise our God

His sovereign rule will last forever
His kingdom won’t decline or fall
He does as He pleases both in Heaven and Earth
Who am I that I should question Him at all?

He lifts up kings and brings them low again
He shows us what is right from wrong
God of all time we give You thanks and praise
For you have made us wise and You have made us strong

Everything He does is right and all His ways are just
Those who walk in pride He is able to humble

AARON SHUST – Glory To You

Great god of might, great god of wonders
giver of life, giver of grace
creator of everything before us
you had me in mind before the stars were in place

Your love surpasses all by far
We’re praising You for all you are

The reason we’re here and the reason we sing
is to thank you oh god and give praise to the king
we lift up our hands and we lift up our eyes and sing
you are holy
The reason we’re here and the reason we sing
is to thank you oh god and give praise to the king
we lift up our hands and we lift up our minds
and we pray that all we do would bring glory to you

father of love. father of mercy
what have I done that you would think about me?
you’ve taken my shame, you’ve taken my sorrow
replaced them with life and life abundantly

you can see inside my heart
you can see inside my mind
So strip away the things
that leave me deaf and blind

AARON SHUST – God So Loved The World

God so loved the world
That He gave His one and only Son
That anybody who believes in Him will have
Everlasting life

God so loved the world
God so loved the world
Every man and woman
Every boy and girl

AARON SHUST – Greater Is He

By the power of Jesus name
Strongholds break, strongholds break
He’s our fortress and our strength
God, we will trust in You

Heaven moves and darkness quakes
When we pray, when we pray
He is strong and He will save
God, we will trust in You

Greater is He that lives in us
Than he that is in the world
There is no power strong enough to fear

He is our firm foundation
And our hope has been secured
Greater is He that lives in us

Here and now we will proclaim it
Our God saves, our God saves
Standing firm, we shout our praises

Pressing on to take the promise
We will praise, we will praise
Nothing here can ever harm us
God we will trust in you

Greater is He that lives in us
Than he that is in the world

Than he that is in the world

AARON SHUST – Give It All Away

Search my heart, search my mind

Make me whole

All of my plans, all of my dreams
I lay them down before Your feet
All of my time, all that was mine

AARON SHUST – Give Me Words To Speak

Give me words to speak
Don’t let my spirit sleep
Cause I can’t think of anything worth saying
But I know that I owe you my life
Give me words to speak Don’t let my spirit sleep…

Just Don’t understand
Just Don’t understand
Just Don’t understand these lies I’ve been believing

Give me words to speak, don’t let my spirit sleep

AARON SHUST – Give Me Words

Give me words to speak
Don’t let my spirit sleep
Cause I can’t think of anything worth saying
But I know that I owe you my life
Give me words to speak Don’t let my spirit sleep…

Just Don’t understand
Just Don’t understand
Just Don’t understand these lies I’ve been believing

Give me words to speak, don’t let my spirit sleep

AARON SHUST – Create Again

Separated from night
You spoke and then there was light
They point to You
Divided water from land
Bowing to Your command
They point to You
The sun that’s blazing at noon
And every phase of the moon
They point to You.
A baby’s cry and the way
A sunset closes the day
They point to You.
For You’re the only One worth praising
More radiant than earth and sky
And everyday that I survey Your creation
I see why I see why
God of everything I see,
Come create again in me
You were yesterday
and You will always be
So take each breath that I breathe
And be the life that I bleed
Create again in me
The storm that’s raging at sea
The little child on her knees
They point to You
Your grace that’s poured out on me
The sacrifice on a tree
They point to You
Your Word vaults across the sky
From sunrise to sunset
Melting the ice, scorching the desert
Warm our hearts to faith
(create again in me)

AARON SHUST – Ever After

I hate to be the one to break the news
To let you down but I can’t lie to you
There’s things about the world I wish weren’t true
I guess by now, you must have had a clue

It seems you’re growing up fast
I tried my best to push back

Would you believe me if I told you

There’s no such thing as Peter Pan
No such place as Never Never Land
I wish we all could have
Those tiny magic wings

But we live in a world with wars
It’s not like it was before
We won’t find our happy ever after here
There’s no such thing

I’ve dreaded this talk for so long
I knew someday you’d wonder what went wrong
We get to be the story of it all
For the Glory of it all and so we move along

This is not where it ends
It’s just where it begins

Would you believe me if I told you

There’s no such thing as Peter Pan
No such place as Never Never Land
I wish we all could have
Those tiny magic wings

But we live in a world with wars
It’s not like it was before
We won’t find our happy ever after here

It’s not where we belong and if it’s feeling wrong
Oh, you must stay strong
‘Cause it was here that I first saw your face
Every night I pray that you’d believe the same

There’s no such thing as Peter Pan
No such place as Never Never Land
I wish we all could have
Those tiny magic wings

But we live in a world with wars
It’s not like it was before
We won’t find our happy ever after here
There’s no such thing
There’s no such thing

I hate to be the one to break the news
To let you down but I can’t lie to you

AARON SHUST – Forevermore

Long before the earth
Before there was light
Lord You were
Endless are You God
No time can contain all you are

There’s no other God before You
There is no other one to replace you
You are forevermore
And there’s no other God I call to
You are the One I cling to
You are forevermore

Faithful are You God
You never change
Lord You are
Only You are God
Forever You reign above it all

There’s no other God before You
There is no other one to replace You
You are forevermore
And there’s no other God I call to
You are the One I cling to
You are forevermore

There’s no other
No on Greater
There is none like You
There’s no other
No on Geater
There is none like You

There’s no other God before You
There is no other one to replace you
You are forevermore
And there’s no other god I call to
You are the one I cling to
You are forevermore

There’s no other God before You
There is no other one to replace you
You are forevermore
And there’s no other god I call to
You are the one I cling to
You are forevermore

You are forevermore

AARON SHUST – Can’t Hide From Your Love

I was lost and I was blind
I was begging for a sign
that someone
Somewhere heard me
As You whispered in the wind
And You shouted in the waves
That You heard me
That You loved me
And I could finally
Stop resisting
You’re Everything I ever wanted
And never knew I needed
You’re Everywhere I ever go
I can’t hide from Your Love anymore
I begin to drop my guard
Faithful as the Morning Star
You show me tender mercy
I’m surrounded by Your beauty
I get lost in Heaven’s
Symphony
It never changes
Never ending
Unrelenting
Why would I want to?
I don’t want to

AARON SHUST – Change The Way

King of all the universe
We love You and we come to You know
Asking for Your healing touch
We need You this very hour

Would you help us comprehend what it means to worship You
’cause we’re blinded by our circumstance
Heal our eyes today

May we know Your love; feel it course through our veins
Encircling our hearts and embracing our souls
We need Your love and grace to remain, to rearrange our hearts
And change the way we praise

Son of God who took my place
We thank You and may we realize
You’ve made us righteous in His sight
You took our wrongs and made them right
We owe You all of our lives

Love me, Father, for I am Your son
(and I am Your daughter)

AARON SHUST – Come And Save Us

The edge of a cliff, the dead end signs
That we’ve been ignoring all this time
All our mistakes and crossing lines
That sinking feeling that’s not far behind

We’re less than more
We’re falling short
No matter how we try

There’s nothing we can do
Nothing we can do
Father, we need You
To come and save us

If we could see behind the veil
Just a glimpse of how
You love us when we fail
Maybe we would finally see
Your mercy never ends

There’s nothing we can do
Nothing we can do
Father, we need You
To come and save us

There’s nothing we can do
Nothing we can do
Father, we need You
To come and save us

It’s all been done
It’s all been done
You have come
All for love

There’s nothing we can do
Nothing we can do
Father, we need You
To come and save us

There’s nothing we can do
Nothing we can do
Father, we need You
To come and save us

Father, we need You
To come and save us
Father, we need You
To come and save us
To come and save us

AARON SHUST – Breathe In Me

Mercy, in Your tender mercy
Look on me, look on me
Frailty, even in my frailty
Welcome me, welcome me

Father this my invocation
That You would come and meet me once again

Breathe in me, breath of God
Mend in me this wounded heart
That I may know You’ve made Your peace with me
Breathe in me

Burden, take away this burden
Set me free, set me free
Calling, I heard You calling
Out for me, You shout for me

Father this my invocation
That You would come and meet me once again
And I know that You will hear my pleading
And You will find me ever once again

Breathe in me, breath of God
Mend in me this wounded heart
That I may know You’ve made Your peace with me
Breathe in me

Empty, empty
Fill me, Father fill me
Empty, I am empty
Won’t You fill me once again?

Breathe in me, breath of God
Mend in me this wounded heart
That I may know You’ve made Your peace

That I may know You’ve made Your peace
That I may know You’ve made Your peace with me
Breathe in me

Grateful, I’m forever grateful
