The Lord has brought me out
From a mighty long way-and I don't know why He sought me out
I don't know why He raised me up
Why day after day He decided to wake me up
Why on earth would He take me up
In His arms and keep me nice and calm
Keep me from harm despite all my wrongs
When I could never right my wrongs
There were nights I cried all night long
Lord help me, I just can't fight this long
My God, I'm just not that strong
And I'd be speechless, right there in my weakness
He'd take my pieces and make me whole
He restored my soul, taught me how to lose control
Made my enemies loose their hold
Why'd He choose me to let His truths unfolds
I don't know, I just sit back in cruise control-cuz

I know the thoughts I have for you
I desire to see you prosper
I know the thoughts I have for you
To give you a hope and a future
And if I call on you-I'll hear you
And I pray to you-I'll listen
What if I seek you with all my heart
I'll be found by you says the Lord
If I call on you-I will hear you
And if I pray to you-I will listen
What if I seek you with all my heart
I'll be found by you says the Lord

Somebody lied and said it would be alright
Naw, it's gon' be great, see, I've seen the light
And I've been through the darkest valleys
The darkest alleys, with nothing but dark around me
But I thank God that wasn't the finale
My God corralled me and rallied beside me
He hides me in His pavilion
In my day of trouble, I can go in and seek His brilliance
In the secret place of His tabernacle
In the secret place I abide in the shadow
Of the Almighty's wings where the anointing
Breaks the shackles, where He takes the scalpel
Of His Word and He shapes this piece of gravel
Oh, what He can do when He leads yours travels
When He guides your course, now of course
I still fall short, but today I know my source

Though the mountains shall be shaken
And the hills be removed
Yet my unfailing love will not be shaken
Nor my covenant of Peace be removed

I know the thoughts I have for you
I desire to see you prosper
I know the thoughts I have for you
To give you a hope and a future
And if I call on you-I'll hear you
And I pray to you-I'll listen
What if I seek you with all my heart
I'll be found by you says the Lord
If I call on you-I will hear you
And if I pray to you-I will listen
What if I seek you with all my heart
I'll be found by you says the Lord

Says the Lord
Says the Lord
Says the Lord
The Lord who has compassion on you
Says the Lord
The Lord who has compassion on you
Says the Lord
