    Lyrics

    Verse 1:
    Waking up to manna
    Coming to my senses
    You meet me in my grumbling
    You give me my portion
    Though flesh and heart may fail me
    Your strength is there to hold me
    Keeping my heart steady
    You are my portion

    Pre-Chorus:
    You are my portion

    Chorus:
    You are our daily bread
    You are our daily bread
    And we will seek Your face
    Before we seek Your hand
    You are our daily bread
    You are our daily bread
    And we desire You
    Before the promised land

    Verse 2:
    Whom have I in Heaven
    There is none upon Earth
    There is none beside You
    You give me my portion
    My envy of the boastful
    Lead me to confusion
    Until I realized Jesus

    Pre-Chorus:
    That You are my portion
    You are my portion

    Chorus:
    You are our daily bread
    You are our daily bread
    And we will seek Your face
    Before we seek Your hand
    You are our daily bread
    You are our daily bread
    And we desire You
    Before the promised land

    Bridge:
    It is good for me to draw near my God
    It is good for me to trust in my God
    It is good for me to declare all His works
    It is good for me, You are good for me

    Chorus:
    You are our daily bread
    You are our daily bread
    And we will seek Your face
    Before we seek Your hand
    You are our daily bread
    You are our daily bread
    And we desire You
    Before the promised land

    Bridge:
    It is good for me to draw near my God
    It is good for me to trust in my God
    It is good for me to declare all His works
    It is good for me, You are good for me

    Outro:
    Oh You’re so good
    I draw on You Jesus
    I draw near to You Jesus

    Outro:
    You always meet me here
    You always meet me here
    I love You
    I love You

    So whatever comes next

    I can trust You again

    Heart of it All : Live from Norcross

    Written by Alvymarie Rodriguez, Crystal Hill, Sean Hill



    Lyrics: 



    Verse 1

    We are done with just pretending 

    That religion is still working 

    We don’t want it if it’s missing 

    Jesus at the heart 

    We are desperate for revival 

    Rid this temple of our idols 

    Crush tradition if it rivals 

    Jesus at the heart



    Chorus

    It’s you that we’re after, You that we want Nothing else matters 

    When You’re at the heart of it all 

    You’re at the heart of it all

    Lyrics of "Peace Be Still" by The Belonging Co:

    I don't want to be afraid

    Every time I face the waves

    I don't want to be afraid

    I don't want to be afraid

    I don't want to fear the storm

    Just because I hear it roar

    I don't want to fear the storm

    I don't want to fear the storm

    Peace be still

    Say the word and I will

    Set my feet upon the sea

    'Til I'm dancing in the deep

    Peace be still

    You are here so it is well

    Even when my eyes can't see

    I will trust the voice that speaks

    I'm not gonna be afraid

    'Cause these waves are only waves

    I'm not gonna be afraid

    No, I'm not gonna be afraid

    And I'm not gonna fear the storm

    You are greater than its roar

    Oh, I'm not gonna fear the storm

    No, I'm not gonna fear at all

    Peace be still

    Say the word and I will

    Set my feet upon the sea

    'Til I'm dancing in the deep

    Peace be still

    You are here so it is well

    Even when my eyes can't see

    I will trust the voice that speaks

    Peace, peace over me

    You speak peace

    Let faith rise up

    O heart believe

    Let faith rise up in me

    Let faith rise up

    O heart believe

    Let faith rise up in me

    Let faith rise up

    O heart believe

    Let faith rise up in me

    Let faith rise up

    O heart believe

    Let faith rise up in me

    Peace be still

    Say the word and I will

    Set my feet upon the sea

    'Til I'm dancing in the deep

    Peace be still

    You are here so it is well

    Even when my eyes can't see

    I will trust the voice that speaks

    Peace, peace over me

    I hear You speaking

    Peace, peace over me

    Peace over me

    You speak peace

    You speak peace

    Over me

    You speak peace

    You speak peace

    You speak peace

    Blessed Assurance, Jesus is mine

    He's been my fourth man in the fire, time after time

    Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood

    And what He did for me on Calvary is more than enough

    I trust in God, my Savior

    The one who will never fail

    He will never fail

    I trust in God, my Savior

    The one who will never fail

    He will never fail

    Perfect submission, all is at rest

    I know the author of tomorrow has ordered my steps

    So this is my story and this is my song

    I'm praising my risen King and Savior all the day long

    I trust in God, my Savior

    The one who will never fail

    He will never fail

    I trust in God, my Savior

    The one who will never fail

    He will never fail

    He didn't fail you then

    He won't fail you now

    I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered

    I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered

    I sought the Lord and He heard and He answered

    That's why I trust Him, that's why I trust Him...
