SONG LYRICS
Million Reasons
Written by: Kimberly Kofoed
Verse 1
You… whispered to me I’m a stranger here, that
Home…was a place that I hold dear but for this
Time…I would learn to walk by faith and trust in what I can’t see, Divine is in me
You…picked me up and gave me reason to
Believe…helped me see the things I couldn’t see and
Truth…opened up my mind and then I
saw the glory, our family’s story
Pre-chorus
I’d stay up late at night,
and look up in the stars
I wonder where I’ve been,
And I wonder where you are
infused with all the wonder
of this galaxy of light
I feel eternity, in awe tonight….
Chorus
There’s a million reasons
Why we are here
There’s a Father pleading
We’ll know He’s near
There’s a Heavenly Mother
reaching out her hand
to feel their love and understand
Verse 2
I…ponder on the beauty of this earth and
Why.. seeing your hand brings new birth
Now I choose..
Faith…trusting in your Holy Son, He is my
Rock, my Shepherd my True Defender and
Life…like the canvas painted in the evening
Sky…lights and colors sweeping hues we use His
Grace…every failure, every triumph
teaches us truth, lifts us higher
Pre-chorus
From the mountaintop,
there’s more than I can see
I try to breathe it in
and grasp eternity
Connecting to my past,
I feel the future burning bright
Heaven’s at the door, it’s in our sights…
Chorus
Last Chorus
There’s a million reasons why I believe
From the greatest ocean to the smallest seed
From all things that witness of your loving
plan
Choose to see……understand
Outro
You
Whispered to me I’m a stranger here, that
Home
Was a place that I hold dear but for this
Time
I would learn to walk by faith and trust in
What I can’t see, Divine is in me
Rescued Me
Written by: Kimberly Kofoed
Verse 1
I was in a dark place
Felt like I couldn’t breathe
Had no one to turn to
Who could understand me
I was left to sort out
All the mess that’d been made
and then I fell, and made my biggest mistake
Now I’m lost
Chorus
Then just like thunder
You came and rescued me
You set me free
my prisoned soul
I was worth fighting for
I was worth dying for
You restored your love
And made me whole
You came and rescued me
Verse 2
I was living both lives
Caught up numbing the regret
Trying to avoid pain
I fueled the demons in my head
Crying, pleading for help
But no words could escape
Never thought I’d break through
So trapped in this charade
So I’m lost
CHORUS
Bridge
You made a trade for my broken heart
Pierced the clouds weighed on my soul
Released the pressure with your light
Gave me breath and made me whole
with all the tears that I ever cried
You came in like rain
washed away my pain
Let me feel again
when just like…

A gentle mother laid her baby

In a manger filled with hay

And Jesus was His name

Shepherds out on a hill

Keeping watch on the still night
(the still night)
Til a messenger came down

And told them of the babe in the tiny town

Halleluia Jesus Christ is born
Halleluia Jesus Christ our Lord
Halleluia Jesus Lord and King
Halleluia to Him all praise we bring

Wise men following a star
(Wise men following a star)
Left their home and traveled far away

And knelt before their Saviors face

Bridge
The world has waited for Him
To save us all from sin
Verse 4
Not so long or far away
(Not so long or far away)
A family kneels down to pray for

That will lead them home to their Savior’s arms
CHORUS
Outro
This is this story of Christmas,
that a child long ago,
in a manger far away
was born out of love to bring us hope…
of a brighter day
He is the hope …
Of a brighter Day! 4X
