"Guilty" lyrics
"Guilty"
When did it become breaking a rule
To say your name out loud in school
When your name's the only one that sets us free
When did it become incorrect
To speak the truth about life and death
When your life gave us all eternity
Even if it gets me convicted
I'll be on my knees with my hands lifted
If serving you's against the law of man
If living out my faith in you is banned
Then I'll stand right before the jury
If saying I believe is out of line
If I'm judged 'cause I'm gonna give my life
To show the world the love that fills me
Then I wanna be guilty
I'll rise up and honor you
I'll testify to all the good you do
'Cause your grace and your mercy have overtaken me
So even if it gets me convicted
I'll still be on my knees with my hands lifted
If serving you's against the law of man
If living out my faith in you is banned
Then I'll stand right before the jury
If saying I believe is out of line
If I'm judged 'cause I'm gonna give my life
To show the world the love that fills me
Then I wanna be
Guilty by association
Guilty of being a voice proclaiming Your ways
Your truth
Your life
I'll pay the price to be Your light
If serving you's against the law of man
If living out my faith in you is banned
Then I'll stand right before the jury
If saying I believe is out of line
If I'm judged 'cause I'm gonna give my life
To show the world the love that fills me
Then I wanna be
Guilty by association
Guilty of being a voice proclaiming Your ways
Your truth
Your life
I'll pay the price to be Your light
Oh I wanna be guilty

Austin French - "Born Again" (Ooh, ooh)
I was down on my luck, I was stuck, I was running 'round broken-hearted
I was sinking so fast, I couldn't last falling apart and
You could've run away, leaving me there in my shame...
Matt Maher - "Your Grace Is Enough" Great is Your faithfulness, oh God
You wrestle with the sinner's restless heart
You lead us by still waters and to mercy
And nothing can keep us apart
So remember Your people
Remember Your children...
tobyMac - "Love Broke Thru" I was feelin' that, feelin' that breeze
Singin' like a song through the tall oak trees
It was just another summer night
Had to be the last thing on my mind
Yeah, I was all but lost in the moment

Tenth Avenue North - "You Are More" There's a girl in the corner
With tear stains on her eyes
From the places she's wandered
And the shame she can't hide
She says, "How did I get here?
I'm not who I once was.
And I'm crippled by...
Mikeschair - "I Can Wait" Oh, the night is dark and the road is hard
Lord, my heavy heart is about to break!
I'm face to face with a need for faith
Give me eyes to see past today. Cause it's no easy out
Gravity hurts when I...
