GRACE LYRICS BY JONATHAN McREYNOLDS

I needed your grace more
Than I thought I ever would
You forgave more
Than I thought you ever could
I was stronger in my head
But truth is,
I need your grace

I needed your grace more
Than I thought I ever would
You forgave more
Than I thought you ever could
I was stronger in my head
But truth is,
I need your grace

Grace…

I needed your grace more
Than I thought I ever would

CATHEDRAL LYRICS BY JONATHAN McReynolds

I don't have a perfect record
I still have a blemished heart
I don't have much worth without ya
I am good because you are

Take this lump of clay and
Build yourself a place in it

Make a cathedral out of me
Make a cathedral out of me
Make a cathedral out of me
Make a cathedral out of me, aww yea

I feel small just talking to you
Wondering what you think of me
I don't have too much to say but
You still listen when I sing

Take this lump of clay and
Make yourself an instrument

Make a cathedral out of me
Make a cathedral out of me
Make a cathedral out of me
Make a cathedral out of me

You'll see the light in the dark
You make a temple inside of my heart
You see the saint inside every sinner

Take your lump of clay and
Love it 'til it can't resist

Make a cathedral out of me
Make a cathedral out of me
Make a cathedral out of me
Make a cathedral out of me

Make a believer out of me
Make a believer out of me
Make a man of God out of me
Make a worshipper out of me

Make a cathedral out of me
Make this six foot lump of clay
Look more like you every day

SITUATION LYRICS BY JONATHAN McReynolds

I ask for things that I think that I need
I get frustrated when You disagree
You're always listening closely to me
There is a limit to what I can see

So I'm not asking for an outcome
Or praying for results
I'm not hoping that it all goes
Exactly how I want
No, I'm not asking You to do it
Or asking that You don't

I'm just inviting You to my situation
Come through 'cause I want You in my situation
I'm just inviting You-u-u
In my situation, hey, oh

You see the big picture, You hold the frame
Past, present and future, You see the same
I know that it's very human to want everything my way
But if I don't get what I pray for, my hope is in Your name

I'm not just asking for an outcome
Or praying for results
I'm not hoping that it all goes
Exactly how I want
No, I'm not asking You to do it
Or asking that You don't

I'm just inviting You to my situation
Come through 'cause I want You in my situation
I'm just inviting You-u-u
In my situation
I'm just inviting You to my situation
Come through 'cause I want You in my situation
I'm just inviting You-u-u
In my situation

I just want You
I just want You here with me, Lord
I just want You
I just want You here with me, Lord
I just want You
I just want You here with me, Lord
I just want You
I just want You here with me, Lord

I'm just inviting You to my situation
Come through 'cause I want You in my situation
I'm just inviting You-u-u, Jesus
In my situation

Inviting You
Inviting You
Inviting You

HE KNOWS LYRICS BY JONATHAN McReynolds

And He's been so good to you that your words can't say
And you can't help but be different in how you praise

PEOPLE LYRICS BY JONATHAN McReynolds

They are the best and the worst you've created
Loving and hating and opinionated
Loners in basements and those congregated
Deliver me

Far from the peaceful shore I was sinking
Deep in the ocean of thoughts they were thinking
Don't know what validation I was seeking
Deliver me, from

People, people
When you said you could heal me from anything
Did you mean
People, people
Deliver me
I can't point 'em out
I won't say their names
I don't know the damage
Or which one to blame
It's just
People, people
Deliver me

She was the reason I smiled in the morning
He took the last bit of joy I was storing
That's too much power for anything human
Deliver me, from

People, people
I know you can heal me from anything
What about
People, people
Deliver me
I can't point 'em out
I won't say their names
I don't know the damage
Or which one to blame
It's just
People, people
Deliver me

Oh
The hurt are hurting
And the broken are breaking
And the ones who had their joy taken away
Are out here taking
From other

People, people
People, people
Forgive these
People, people
Heal me from
People, people
Crazy
(People, people)
Trollin'
(People, people)
Self-righteous
(People, people)
Entitled
(People, people)
Hatin'
(People)
Lyin'
(People)
Disrespectful
(People, people)
Forgive me when I'm one of those
People, people

TRY LYRICS BY JONATHAN McReynolds

I don't wanna live the crazy life
And I don't wanna pick a crazy wife
And I don't wanna be that crazy guy
Who lost what I had inside, mmh
And I don't want the sinners destiny
And I don't wanna miss what's best for me
So I'm gonna take what's left of me
Swallow pride, at least I...

(Pre-Chorus)
I gotta make a sincere effort to be
All that you called me to be, God
I just don't wanna stay here, living beneath
I owe it to me to at least try

(Chorus)
So I'm gonna try
Try, try, try, try
See I'm gonna try
Try, try, try, try
A little harder this time
This time, this time
I'm gonna try
Try, try, try, try
(Verse 2)
See Lord I wanna know Your plan for me
And I gotta follow faithfully, yeah
So teach me to abandon all that
Makes me comfortable, so basically...

(Pre-Chorus)
I gotta make a sincere effort to be
All that you called me to be
I just don't wanna stay here, living beneath
I owe it to me to at least try

(Chorus)
So I'm gonna try
Try, try, try, try
See I'm gonna try
Try, try, try, try

(Outro: Interpolation of "No Gray")
Mmh, 'cause if it's God I'm after
Just can't serve two masters
Before something happens
I gotta turn it all around
'Cause I just can't have my cake and eat it too
'cause it's real easy to stay on the fence and still do you
And itd' be cool if we can love the Lord and still go do our thing
But see it doesn't work like this, we gotta be white or black
I'm gonna try
Try, tr, try, try
See I gotta try
Try, try, try, try
A little harder this time
This time, this time
I'm gonna try
Try, try, try, try

JUST AS SURE LYRICS BY TORI KELLY FT. JONATHAN McREYNOLDS,

Just as sure as the sun
Sets at the end of the day
Then the darkness fades
And the clouds, they roll away
Just as sure as the hands
On the clock keep ticking away the time
And trouble on my mind
Makes it hard for joy to find

Just as sure as winter fades
And then it turns to spring
I believe deliverance, will surely come for me
Just as sure as my heart
Will someday be made anew
I know You love me
Just as I do love You
Mmm, just as I do love You

Just as sure as the test
Is there to make me perfect in Your eyes
It may hurt for a while
But by faith I shall survive
Just as sure as the rain
Falls on me only to make me grow
No matter how I feel
Now I live by what I know

Mmm, just as sure as trials come
To pull me close to You
In Your presence now I see
A God I never knew (A God I never knew)
Just as sure as a touch
From Your hand can turn grey skies to shades of blue
I know You love me
Just as I do love You
Just as I do love You (Ooh)

I love You and I trust You
'Cause You know what's best for me
And even though the crowd sometimes gets loud
And it's hard to hear You speak (Hear You speak)
Just as sure as Your grace
Is faithful even when my faith I lose
I know You love me (I know You love me)
Just as I do love You

I love You and I trust You
'Cause You know what's best for me
Even though the crowd sometimes gets loud
And it's hard to hear You speak, oooh
Just as sure as Your grace
Is faithful even when my faith I lose
I know You love me
Just as I do love You
Just as I do love You

I do love You, yeah, yeah, yeah
I love You ('Cause You first loved me)
(Jesus I love You)
The nights that I cried (You loved me)
When I should've died (You loved me)
And that's the reason why (I do love You)
Forever and ever, forever and ever
Forever and ever
(I do love You)
Forever is a long time
I'm giving You all my life
Jesus, I love You

LOVER OF MY SOUL LYRICS BY JONATHAN McReynolds

There human bones
Always fragile as mine
I have my flaws
But they have the same kind
I was ashamed
Cause I couldn't see
But grace says that they're
In the same boat as me

But what I lack
You are full of
Where I'm broken
You are whole
What I'm doubting
You are sure of
So I'll trust the lover
Lover of my soul
I'm not afraid
Of the air rose by day
nor the darkness that comes
When the sun rose away
Lord you know that
My strength never lest
You make up for
Every weakness I have

What I lack
You are full of
Where I'm broken
You are whole
What I'm doubting
You are sure of
I'll trust the lover
Lover of my so

What I confess
You will cover
What I let go
You ll control
Lord my hope is
In no other
I'll trust the lover
Lover of my soul

BETTER LYRICS BY JONATHAN McRnolds

There's a misconception

That temptation won't affect us

At all, at all, at all

But just like anyone else

If I let it hit my heart

I'll fall, I'll fall, I'll fall

And I can't act like I don't know how

I beat myself up about it now

But tomorrow just do better better better

Keep on moving closer closer closer

You'll know that all is forgiven

Because he'll help you to do better


See we all have fallen

but you can't stay on the ground for long for long for long

Cos after a while you'll start thinking that recovery's not an option

and you're wrong you're wrong so wrong

and you can't undo what you did Now

So take the clean slate that Grace allows

And tomorrow just do better better better

Keep on moving closer closer closer

You'll know that all is forgiven

Because he'll help you to do better


I  will do better it won't hurt to be a little stronger

as long as we're together after a while I'll notice something different and it started when I decided to do better


So tomorrow just do

better better better

Keep on moving closer closer closer

You'll know that all is forgiven

Because he'll help you to do better

CYCLES LYRICS BY JONATHAN McReynolds

Didn't I conquer this last year?
Tell me what I missed 'cause I fear
That it's coming back up again
Must be something I ate
Some song, some show, some hate

The devil wants to extend the game, free throws
And when it ends he wants to make the sequel
'Cause if he has another chance
He feels like he can take
My joy, my peace, my faith

See the devil, he learns from your mistakes
Even if you don't
That's how he keeps you in cycles, cycles
Cycles, cycles
But I'm not going in cycles, cycles
Cycles, cycles

This will end like I want it to, I win
The enemy will have to lose again
See, I'm a different fighter now
And I have God to thank
'Cause His joy is my strength

See the devil will learn it's a mistake
When I am sure
That I'm not going in cycles
I'm not going in cycles
I'm gonna break these cycles
I'm not going in cycles
I'm gonna break these cycles
I'm not going in cycles
Cycles, cycles
I'm not going in cycles

Ooh, so Lord, help me
Be free from all of my passion
See, Your love is enough
To make me new
And help me in these cycles, cycles
Help me in these cycles, ooh Lord, cycles
I need You to help me in these cycles
I rebuke him in the name of Jesus, oh
Cycles, cycles

See I'm not going in cycles
I refuse it, cycles
I refuse it, cycles
Oh, refuse it, cycles
Oh, woe, depression, cycles
Oh, all I'm saying, cycles
Oh, I'm not going in cycles
Yeah, cycles

See, there is power in the name of Jesus
There is power in the name of Jesus
See, there is power in the name of Jesus
To break every cycle, to break every cycle

See, there is power in the name of Jesus
See, there is power in the name of Jesus
There is power in the name of Jesus
To break every cycle, to break all these cycle
To break all these cycle, to break all these cycle

Generation on cycles, financial cycles
Painful cycles, oh, cycles


NOT LUCKY I'M LOVED LYRICS BY JONATHAN MCREYNOLDS

Maybe I succeed a little
I jumped up from the floor to the middle
You think I want the credit I don’t
Cause the glory, ain’t made for me, no
I know who sits on the throne
Who makes the stage and writes the songs
And I know I, couldn’t do this on my own
And as much as I complain
I’ve seen more sunshine than rain
And I could thank, my lucky stars
But that’s not where, my blessings are
No they come from, the Father’s heart
Not the sky, not chance, but truth is
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
I’m not lucky, I’m loved


Today I’m in a happy place
And I know it didn’t happen by mistake
I love how He wrote my life
And I love how He sees my heart
So I fall to my knees and say that I’m grateful
For every morning start

So I could thank, my lucky stars
But that’s not where, my blessings are
No they come from, the Father’s heart
Not the sky, not chance, but truth is
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
I’m not lucky, I’m loved

From the very beginning
This life that I’m living
Was part of Your plan all along

So I don’t thank, my lucky stars
Cause that’s not where, my blessings are
No they come from, the Father’s heart
Not the sky, not chance, but truth is
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
I’m not lucky, I’m loved


Sing yes, Jesus loves me
Sing yes, Jesus loves me
Sing yes, Jesus loves me
For the bible tells me
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
I’m not lucky, I’m loved

C’mon one more time
Let me hear you sing

Yes, Jesus loves me
Sing yes, Jesus loves me
Yes, Jesus loves me
For the bible tells me so
It tells me so

See I don’t thank, my lucky stars
Cause that’s not where, my blessings are
No they come from, the Father’s heart
Not the sky, not chance, but truth is
I’m not lucky, I’m loved
