1. BACK TO THE BEGINNING

Words and music Sherri Youngward

I thought that I could touch the sky

Straight through to the other side

The moment that I met You

Like a flower in the morning light

You came and opened up my life

The moment that I met You

Look what’s happened in our lives

And watch the whole world slowly

Slowly spinning by

Take me back to the beginning 

Back where I belong

Back to where I started 

To my first love

I have no more questions why

I am alive

Ever since I met You

Time no longer takes away my life

There will be no more good-byes

Ever since I met You

I was flipping through old photographs

Dusting off dead dreams funny how it seems

I’m always wanting more

Wouldn’t it be crazy or would it just be sad

If everything I’m wanting I already have

2. NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE

Words and music Sherri Youngward

The first line of this song was inspired by a sermon about Elijah by

Pastor Steve Madsen-

"Now I stand before a Holy God" was inspired by a prayer from Pastor

Konstantin Kretov- Moscow, Russia-The thought overwhelmed me.

You make the water fall, from a cloudless sky

You make the rock spring forth

And the sea turn dry

And if that’s not enough, You sent Your only Son

And now I stand, before a Holy God

You make the stormy sea, as still as glass

You make the wars to cease

And steady trembling hands

And if that’s not enough, You sent Your only Son

And now I stand, before a Holy God

Nothing is impossible for You

No one is unreachable to You

Nothing is impossible for You

No one is unreachable to You

You bring the lonely one into a family

You make the poor man rich

And hear the widow’s plea

And if that’s not enough, You sent Your only Son

And now I stand, before a Holy God

3. I LOVE HOW

Words and music Sherri Youngward

I love how the wind blows, everywhere You go

Bending the tall trees, lifting the fallen leaves

Swiftly bringing change

Dying embers burst to flame

I love how the wind blows, everywhere You go

I love how Your name feels on the tip of my tongue

It’s like my favorite song, about to be sung

It’s like knowing the surprise, before the guests have arrived

I love how Your name feels on the tip of my tongue

I love how Your thoughts come to me,

Outnumbering the sand on the beach

As Your story unfolds, the more that I have to know

I can’t live the same, You made history of my shame

I love how Your thoughts come to me, outnumbering the sand on the beach

I love how the world turns around, and no one begins to pin it down

Wise men they try, while the simple are made wise

All nature stops and speaks, to anyone listening

I love how the world turns around, and no one begins to pin it down

4. DRAW ME NEAR

Words and music Sherri Youngward

Psalm 43:3-5

In Your presence all my questions die away

And all the weakness that surrounds me now 

Pales to Your strength

Why do you despair, Oh my soul  

My hope is in God, I will praise Him still

Draw me near  Draw me near

Draw me near  Draw me nearer to You

In Your presence all my fears die away

And all the weakness that surrounds me now 

Turns to strength

Why do you despair, Oh my soul

My hope is in God, and I will praise Him still

Grace falls down like the pouring rain,

Over and over and over again

Over and over, You find me here

Mercy rises like the flowers in spring

Over and over and over again

Danny wrote the melody and words to “Grace falls down like the pouring rain”  -Thanks Danny

5. THESE THINGS DON’T CHANGE

Words and music Sherri Youngward

Be still my soul

I can see the horizon

A cold cold wind is about to blow

Be still my soul

I will not falter  

Faith believes when it cannot see     

This I know

Nothing will ever take this love away

The grass will wither and the flower fade

These things don’t change

Bless the Lord oh my soul

I’m stepping off of this familiar shore

I’ll put to test the things I know        

This I know

By surprise He’ll catch me by surprise

He will burst right through the skies

And we will fly away

Height, depth, width, breadth, poverty,

Prosperity, kingdoms, power, 

Persecution, life, death, tribulation, 

Love, hate, chance, fate, angels, demons, sinner, saint, nothing on earth no created thing

6. THE WAY TO JOY

Words and music Sherri Youngward

Mary heard the angel speak

about a boy that wasn’t hers to keep

She held the words within her heart 

Knowing suffering would be a part of loving Him

But she wouldn’t trade a minute for a day without Him in it

The cross was on her way to joy

In the garden of Gethsemane  

Jesus fell down to His knees

His sweat became like drops of blood

 When He prayed the Father’s will be done and not His own

No one took His life away- it’s the reason that He came

The cross was on His way to joy

The cross is on the way to joy, oh the cross is on the way to joy

The cross is on the way to joy, oh the cross is on the way to joy

The thief that hung upon the cross thought he’d lost his chance for innocence

He turned his head to his surprise

The Son of God was by his side forgiving him

When he opened up his eyes, he awoke in paradise 

The cross was on his way to joy

But I wouldn’t trade a minute for a day without Him in it

7. RESTORE MY SOUL

Words Sherri Youngward

Music Sherri and Ted Morton

In loving memory of Travis Wirth

and for his mother Mary

Lead me beside the water so still

Let me catch my breath

Let me drink my fill

Let me lie in fields of green

Where only gentle breezes blow

I’ll reach out my empty hands

For the cup that over flows

Restore my soul, Restore my soul 

I’ve stood too long here in these shadows

These valley walls are all I see

I need the skilled eyes of my Shepherd

Now my vision’s failing me

Then I will run and not be weary

I will walk and not faint 

I will soar with wings of eagles

In God alone is my strength

Surely goodness and mercy  

Will find their way to me

And I will live with them forever 

I will have no more need

The Lord is my Shepherd

He is my God

I will live with Him forever

I shall not want

8. LET YOUR GLORY FALL

Words and music Sherri Youngward

Written for Tuesday Night Bible Study

We’re lifting up our eyes to heaven

That’s where our help is coming from

We lay our lives before the glorious throne of God

For God so loved the world He gave

And now we want to give to You

We lay our lives before the glorious throne of God 

Let Your glory fall in this place

Let Your glory be heard in our voices

Let Your glory shine in our eyes

Let Your glory fall

Let Your glory fall in this place

Let Your glory be seen on our faces

Let your glory shine on our lives

Let Your glory fall

9. ALL THE WAY HOME

Words Sherri Youngward

Music by Sherri and Ted Morton

We know love by this, that He laid down His life for us

And we ought to lay our lives down for each other

This is what love is, we are so loved

He said, and if I go, I’ll come again

And you will be with Me where I am

Children do not fear, remember the words that He said

I am the way- the truth- the life

And You know the way to where I am going

He said and if I go, I’ll come again

And You will be with me, where I am

I will not leave you here alone

Follow Me, all the way home

10. JOIN WITH THE ANGELS

Words and music Sherri Youngward

Glory and honor, and power and praise

Belong to Jesus, everyday

So join with the angels, surrounding God’s throne

Filling up heaven with a worthy song

Join with the angels, together we bow

Worshiping Jesus, singing out loud

Holy, Holy, Holy Is the Lord our God the Almighty

Every moment of everyday

You are deserving of every praise

Join with the angels, surrounding God’s throne

Filling up heaven with a worthy song

11. HOW DEEP THE FATHER’S LOVE FOR US 

Word and Music by Stuart Townend

How deep the father’s love for us, how vast beyond all measure

That he should give his only son to make a wretch his treasure

How great the pain of searing loss the father turns his face away

As wounds which mar the chosen one bring many sons to glory

Behold the man upon a cross, my sin upon his shoulders

Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that held him there until it was accomplished

His dying breath has brought me life; I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything: no gifts, no power, no wisdom

But I will boast in Jesus Christ: his death and resurrection

Why should I gain from his reward? I cannot give an answer

But this I know with all my heart: his wounds have paid my ransom
