Graves Into Gardens Elevation Worship,

VERSE 1 I searched the world but it couldn't fill me Man's empty praise and treasures that fade are never enough Then You came along and put me back together And every desire is now satisfied here in Your love

CHORUS Oh, there's nothing better than You There's nothing better than You Lord, there's nothing Nothing is better than You

VERSE 2 I'm not afraid to show You my weakness My failures and flaws, Lord, You've seen them all and You still call me friend 'Cause the God of the mountain is the God of the valley There's not a place Your mercy and grace Won't find me again

BRIDGE 1 You turn mourning to dancing You give beauty for ashes You turn shame into glory You're the only one who can

BRIDGE 2 You turn graves into garden You turn bones into armies You turn seas into highways You're the only one who can

God Of Revival

Verse 1

We’ve seen what You can do oh God of wonders Your power has no end The things You’ve done before in greater measure You will do again

Pre-Chorus

'Cause there’s no prison wall You can’t break through No mountain You can’t move All things are possible There’s no broken body You can’t raise No soul that You can’t save All things are possible (things are possible)

Chorus

The darkest night You can light it up You can light it up Oh Let hope arise Death is overcome You’ve already won Oh God of revival

Verse 2

You rose in victory and now You’re seated Forever on the throne So why should my heart fear what You defeated

I will trust in You alone

Bridge

Come awaken Your people come awaken this city Oh God of revival pour it out pour it out Every stronghold will crumble (I) Hear the chains hit the ground Oh God of revival pour it out pour it out

Interlude

Oh oh God of revival

VERSE 1 I know how it started the walls that we build to separate us Make it wider, stronger, til it's too tall for us to touch Heaviness is on me I don't see, we might be whole again We might be better off in the wake of a bitter end

CHORUS Oh I know I'm gonna rise again Set my sights on where I'm going And my goodbyes to where I've been Oh I know I'm gonna rise again Singing farewell king of the broken So long my friend

VERSE 2 We could always count on the same things The ups and the downs like time We crawl through the abyss then we came through the other side Heaviness is only temporary the daylight will soon break in The sunlight can change a heart in the wake of a bitter end.

BRIDGE I could see us moving on, I can feel that coming on strong We'll never start all over like this and I still can't believe it

Verse 1

I love You Lord Oh Your mercy never fails me All my days I've been held in Your hands From the moment that I wake up Until I lay my head I will sing of the goodness of God

Chorus

All my life You have been faithful All my life You have been so so good With every breath that I am able I will sing of the goodness of God

Verse 2

I love Your voice You have led me through the fire In darkest night You are close like no other I've known You as a father I've known You as a friend I have lived in the goodness of God

Bridge

Your goodness is running after It’s running after me Your goodness is running after It’s running after me With my life laid down I’m surrendered now I give You everything Your goodness is running after It's running after me
