Lyrics to "TOOK IT ALL AWAY"
Made popular by Crossway
From the album: Beautiful Thing
Annie McRae, Christian Taylor Music

I've been numb from the shock of devastation
Left so confused that it paralyzed my prayers
An unexpected pain tore my heart to pieces
And just left my faith hanging there
But I rose up from the ashes of my despair
And with his strength I stood and I declared
Chorus
That if You took it all away
Every gift You ever gave
The sun that shines in my day
The stars that you display
And if You never blessed again
If You gave another trail instead
If the precious thing that I held
Was stripped out of my hands
I would stand and praise You Holy Name
If You took it all away
Verse Two
God I must believe that You are with me
And that You still have a purpose and a plan
And when You have proved and You have tried me
I will shine like gold in Your hands
And I'll rise up from the ashes of my despair
Lord with Your strength I'll stand and declare
Chorus
Verse Three
When I feel like I can't last another day
I'll cry blessed be Your Name, Blessed be Your name
When I can't see the Hope through the pain
I'll cry Blessed be Your Name, Blessed be Your Name
Chorus

This I Know
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqP6-NnR8jk

Even though I've lived a while and learned a lot of things
I won't hesitate to honestly admit
In spite of everywhere I've been and all my eyes have seen
There is still so much I haven't mastered yet
But thankfully it only takes the wisdom of a child
To understand the one thing that makes me want to smile

Chorus
This I know Jesus loves me. This I know for He told me
When He wrote it in His word and on my heart
At the Cross there He showed me just how far He would go
So I could say Jesus loves me, this I know

All the workings of this world confound my simple mind
So I gave up trying to figure out its ways
Instead I try to think of how it is right here where the daily Is divine
And take my chances with the unexplained
'Cause when my faith speaks up for me I say with confidence
With Jesus as my Savior my life makes perfect sense

. No Back Roads
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMq3_2Q1ilA

If you're gonna make that Heaven bound journey!

Well I ran into the preacher just the other day
Told him how I was livin' and how I had a need
Told him what a good person that I was
Had my ticket to Heaven, everything was good

Well he got this funny look all over his face
He said I don't think we're talking' 'bout the same place
He said it's gonna take more than bein' good to get in
Won't ya give me just a minute. Let me tell you my friend

Chorus
Well there's no back roads on the way to Glory
It's a narrow street. It's a one-way only
There's no short cuts mapped out or no side streets to it
It's by the blood and ya gotta go through it
Reservations made by The Great I Am
You must be forgiven and be born again
So if you're gonna make that Heaven-bound journey
There's no back roads on the way to Glory

As I listened to him it was perfectly clear
I knew I wasn't ready. My heart was filled with fear
I said what must I do to get inside the gate
I thought you never asked, let me show you the way

Here's another one. Fill-ins and corrections are appreciated

PRAYIN' FOR DELIVERANCE
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Pnq4P-MwcY

Nebuchadnezzar was in a state 'cause he could not have his way
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego would not bow down and pray
They stood tall for their God knowing of their fate
Trusting Him to deliver them in death or in life that day

So when we're standing in the furnace, praying for deliverance
Take a look around and He'll be there with us
? from the flame and the fire of guilt and shame
Praying for deliverance. Praying for deliverance

Paul and Silas had a message that they had to tell
In it was the key to free the captive soul from Hell
Greater shackles bind the heart of sinful man today
Than the chains that held their feet and hands so they could not run away

So when we're sitting in a prison, praying for deliverance
We can be assured and know that He has given us
Freedom from our sin, peace and rest with Him
Praying for deliverance. Praying for deliverance

When I look around and every side looks like defeat
I turn my eyes toward Heaven and pray Lord deliver me.
Deliver me

Well the Bible tells the comin' of the Son of God is at hand
The time is here when wickedness is spread across the land
A greater need for righteous men this world has never known
But I will not fear for He'll soon appear and I'm ready to go home

I'll be kneeling at the alter, praying for deliverance
Hoping that the Lord will soon be here gettin' us
But until that day when He calls His church away
I'll be clinging to the promise, praying for deliverance
Standing on the rock and knowing He'll deliver us
He's always come through, 'til He comes for me and you
I'll be Praying for deliverance. Praying for deliverance "¦

Composers: Kevin Stokes and Sue C. Smith

Unscarred
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jn91FJSYMU

He lived a life unblemished, unstained by sin
But He wasn't unaffected by the state that we were in
So with uncompromising mercy, unyielding grace
Unashamed He took the cross to take our place

Chorus
'Cause He couldn't see a need and be untouched
He couldn't let us live and die unloved
He couldn't bear our sin with an unbroken heart
So He couldn't leave this world unscarred

He could have gone to Heaven the way that He'd come
Not a wound upon His body, in the end no damage done
But unbelievably He offered to be our lamb
We're the ones who pierced His head, His feet, His hand

Chorus

One day we'll have to ? bodies when we see Jesus there
Yes He'll always bear the nail prints and we'll always be aware
