"Beyond Understanding"

Saints and seekers...they don't know
Brave and dreamers...they don't know
Teachers, scholars...they don't know
Preachers and presidents...they don't know
Prostitutes and prayers...they don't know
Orange pickers, brick layers...they don't know

Some say that they do
Some claim that it's true
If they only knew...

The love of Jesus
It's beyond understanding

All together we can find
The power to grasp love devine
Upon the foundation of his love
Rooted in mercy from above
I'm convinced that as we grow
We will know what we can't know

"After You"

I know that You love me
And I love You too
But it's hard sometimes
To show that I do
But with you in my heart
It's hard to run from you
And I thank you for your grace

Even in the hard days
When your peace is hard to find
I give you my worries
And I leave them far behind
Because I know that You love me
And I know that you are kind
And I thank you for your grace...
And the joy you put on my face

I want to serve You
With all of my life
I want to love You
With all of my heart
And my soul and my mind
I want to worship You
In everything I do
My heart longs after You
