THESE ARE THE DAYS LYRICS BY CORY ASBURY


Hospital to home was a four minute drive
With a baby on board made it thirty five
We didn’t sleep a wink that night
Just laid by that crib singing nursery rhymes 

These are the days that we’ll want back

At the kindergarten drop off line
His first day of school didn’t even cry
That was when we knew that life
Had a funny way of passing us by

These are the days that we’ll want back

So tell them bed time stories
Give 'em a kiss good night
Before we know it
This old house will be quiet
I know we’re tired right now
Someday we’ll laugh about it
Let’s slow it down & raise a glass
These are the days that we’ll want back

Took us a day to build that bike
Felt like we only got a minute to watch him ride
Juggling dinner, school & practice time
Trying to make it through that glass of cheep wine

These are the days that we’ll want back

All of the countless crazy sleepless night
All of the ‘firsts’ & the ‘lasts’ & the tears that we cried
All of the how does this work Dad & Mom tell me why
Sometimes growing up feel like goodbye

There was time when we were your world
Now you’re moving on to marry your girl
So buy her a house & call it home
Give her a life & some kids of her own

Tell them bed time stories
Give 'em a kiss good night
Cause before we know it
That old house will be quiet
I know your wild right now
But one day we’ll laugh about it
Let’s raise a glass & toast to that
We’ll always be your Mom & Dad
These are the days that we’ll want back

THE FATHER'S HOUSE LYRICS BY CORY ASBURY


Sometimes on this journey
I get lost in my mistakes
What looks to me like weakness
Is a canvas for your strength
And my story isn't over
My story's just begun
And failure won't define me
'Cause that's what my Father does
Yeah, failure won't define me
'Cause that's what my Father does

CH
Ooh, lay your burdens down
Ooh, here in the Father's house
Check your shame at the door
'Cause it ain't welcome anymore
Ooh, you're in the Father's house

V2
Arrival's not the end game
The journey's where you are
You never wanted perfect
You just wanted my heart
And the story isn't over
If the story isn't good
Failure's never final
When the Father's in the room
Failure's never final
When the Father's in the room

BR
Prodigals come home
The helpless find hope
Love is on the move
When the Father's in the room
Prison doors fling wide
The dead come to life
Love is on the move
When the Father's in the room
Miracles take place
The cynical find faith
Love is breaking through
When the Father's in the room

The Jericho walls are quaking
Strongholds now are shaking
Love is breaking through
When the Father's in the room
love is breaking through
When the Father's in the room

BORN AGAIN LYRICS BY CORY ASBURY


Verse 1

Take me by the hand and
Walk with me by quiet streams
I need to hear the wind and
Feel the ground beneath my feet

Pre-Chorus

‘Cause You’re the only friend
Who can set my soul at ease

Chorus

In the quiet pride of my Father’s eyes
I remember who I am
When I feel the warmth of my Father’s smile
Feels like I’ve been born again
I’ve been born again

Verse 2

Realign my heart and
Help me keep the first things first
Let me hear Your whisper and
God, I hang on every word

YOUR LOVE IS STRONG LYRICS BY CORY ASBURY (RECKLESS LOVE ALBUM)


Verse 1

Strong enough to calm the storms
Of fear and unbelief
Fierce enough to break the cords
Of death that clung to me
I have come to know a love
Whose power has overcome every insecurity
Heaven moves and demons flee now
As I lift my voice to sing

Chorus

Oh, Your love is strong
Oh, Your love is strong
Oh, Your love is strong
Oh, Your love is strong

Verse 2

Close enough to hold me near
When fear is crippling
Safe enough to be my home
When my world is crumbling
I have come to know a love
Stronger than the grave, that in my darkest hour
Raised me up from death to life now
In resurrection power

Bridge

Your love, it vanquished all my enemies
It broke the cage that silenced me
And set this songbird free

I sing, for all the love You've given me
Rejoice because You've chosen me
And called this orphan home

DEATH WHERE IS YOUR STING LYRICS BY CORY ASBURY


For God so loved the world, He gave His Son
To bear the weight of sin, He bled for us
From Heaven's highest place, He took a fall
And there was just one life, laid down for all


Death, where is your sting?
Grave, where is your victory?
He's alive, He's alive
He is risen!

Behold the vacant tomb that held our Lord
That grave became the stage for Heaven's glory
And behold the Risen King in open skies
He is the Resurrection, He is the life

Death, where is your sting?
Grave, where is your victory?
He's alive, He's alive
He is risen!

No weapon formed against us will prosper
The gates of hell won't stand
Your Church will rise from glory to glory
In the name of Jesus
No weapon formed against us will prosper
The gates of hell won't stand
And Your Church will rise from glory to glory
In the name of Jesus

Death, where is your sting?
Grave, where is your victory?
He's alive, He's alive
He is risen!
Death, where is your sting?
Grave, where is your victory?
He's alive, He's alive
He is risen!

WATER AND DUST LYRICS BY CORY ASBURY (RECKLESS LOVE)


Verse 1
One part water and one part dust
Yet You’re still making trophies out of us
Making something out of nothing, it’s what You do
Yet Your work is never finished and it’s never past due

Chorus
Gently Your voice like a calming embrace
Calls me from out of the noise
You whisper to me, “Child, forget not your dreams”
As we lie awake in the dark
Just don’t lose heart

Verse 2
From the dirt to a throne with a brand new name
And the blood of the King running through our veins
There’s hidden gold in these jars of clay
All these hidden crowns will be revealed one day
Yeah we’ll lay them down at Your feet one day

Bridge
Don’t lose heart
He’s got your hand
Don’t lose heart
He knows your name
When everything is falling apart
Don’t lose heart

ENDLESS ALLELUIA LYRICS BY CORY ASBURY


Verse 1

In the morning when I rise to meet You
In the morning when I lift my eyes
You're the only One I wanna cling to
You're the first thought on my mind

Chorus

Let our voices rise
All creation cries
Singing out an endless alleluia
From this moment on
Join with Heaven’s song
Singing out an endless alleluia

Verse 2

In the moments where You go unnoticed
In the ordinary day to day
Countless miracles of life around us
Point like arrows to Your name

Bridge

Only a moment to live this life
Like shooting stars burning up the night
Till Heaven’s opened and we arrive
In Your presence Lord
In Your presence

Verse 3

In the evening when I lay my head down
In the evening when I close my eyes
You're still the only One I wanna cling to
You're the last thought on my mind

Tag

There’s nothing better
There’s nothing better
There’s nothing better
Than this right now

RECKLESS LOVE (ACOUSTIC VERSION) BY CORY ASBURY


Verse 1

Before I spoke a word, You were singing over me
You have been so, so good to me
Before I took a breath, You breathed Your life in me
You have been so, so kind to me

Chorus

Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
Oh, it chases me down, fights ‘til I’m found, leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn’t earn it, I don’t deserve it, still You give Yourself away
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God

Verse 2

When I was Your foe, still Your love fought for me
You have been so, so good to me
When I felt no worth, You paid it all for me
You have been so, so kind to me

Bridge

There’s no shadow You won’t light up
Mountain You won’t climb up
Coming after me
There’s no wall You won’t kick down
Lie You won’t tear down
Coming after me
