Like a never ending tug of war We can feel the side that always pulls Just begging us to come and fall in love With all the good we do in our own strength Just know we want so desperately To be loved We all wanna be loved It’s not about what we do or don’t do When the only thing that matters is what’s been done for you Over time we like to make up new rules To make us feel like we’re doing what we need to do Cause oh, if I could find a way to quantify The love that I receive from how I live my life Then all of this would make sense to my human mind But a love like this is not easy to define We try to live on top of the curve But there’s this thing that we don’t deserve And whatever we do, could never earn A grace that’s more than good enough So you don’t have to try and win His love Just overflow from the love He gives You’ve fulfilled the law on our behalf There’s nothing we need to do to add to that Just follow with our hearts let the Spirit lead the Way
2.
Clanging Gong (1 Cor 13) We need to be more than just a clanging gong A noisy cymbal will be our song And no one will listen long if we don’t have love If we don’t have love Words can do more than just impress Or tear a man down like the rest Of all the careless things we’ve ever said I think about what we’ll leave behind If our paths cross another time The planted seed will be a little dry If we don’t have love We need to say more than just what we hate And what we’ll tolerate; it’s not your job to complain Just proclaim the truth that you know Tell the truth in love How will you tell the world their fate? Without offering a hand that saves And a love that never fades Quick to listen, slow to speak Words can strike the heart so deep So reach out with a love that frees us from ourselves If we don’t have love what we have won’t be enough

Overflow 03:39
Overflow You can follow the signs that lead To all the foreclosed properties Screwed by the loans that rose above our means And there’s a trail of change that leads To all the bankrupt companies People losing jobs just as sure as you and me And don’t you think we could figure it out With recovery payments, government handouts Got my stimulus waiting in the mail when I come home But nothing lasts forever working day to day Thinking I can get by once I get paid One thing after another keeping me in debt Can’t keep up with my payments when there’s nothing left There’s a woman across the globe Poverty is all she’s ever known But you wouldn’t know it if you ever saw her Two boys and a girl Her husband’s left its up to her We put our hope in the bank She puts her hope in something higher And maybe she has got it figured all out With the leaky, cracked ceiling on her one room house But a love that overflows like her buckets in the rain Only one thing lasts forever and its not this life So I’ll live like everything is gonna be alright Someone already came and paid my debt I can give and give and give til there’s nothing left
5.
Dry Bones and Broken Lives If You can take dry bones and lift them up out of the dirt Ask me can they live as their bodies come alert Then how much more can You take this stagnant life of mine And breathe new life inside, new life inside You’re the only source of power; No nation, tribe, or man Could change this world with the power of their own hands But You say come to Me and I’ll give you all you need Only believe, only believe, only believe And Hallelujah You have changed the world And Hallelujah You are changing me Hallelujah we have been redeemed Love has come and it has set us free Hearts are often shattered and lives are torn in two Hope is never easy when nothing is in view That’s why we need Your breath to flow inside of us When nothing is enough You are enough
