We Welcome You (Holy Father) lyrics - Cece Winans

Holy father god
We welcome you within this place [x4]
We come to worship you
With all our might
We exalt the o god
The lord most high
And we magnify you
In the earth forever
O lord you are our god

Sing unto the lord
All ye saints of him
And give thanks at the remembrance
Of his holy name
For he is angry for a moment
And his favour is love
Joy comes in the morning
But weeping may endure for a night
So worship him with all of your might

(And) we come to worship you
With all our might
(And) we exalt the o god
The lord most high
And we magnify you
In the earth forever
O lord you are our god

Holy father god
Lord we welcome you within this place [x7]

Forever lyrics - Cece Winans

Lord why would I leave You
There's no other place for me but here
Your Love is so great and sure
Your faithfulness, and mercy, will live on, eternally

Forever I'll lift my voice
Forever, Lord I'll rejoice
Forever I'll sing my heart out to You
I offer all I have
And I want more to give
Forever my life is Yours to use

I can't describe this joy
That I feel when I'm alone with You
Your presence it heals my soul
Your faithfulness, and mercy, will live on, eternally

[Chorus]

Forever worship, forever praise, forever shout Your name
I'll bow down with pleasure, humble myself
I only have eyes for You

[Chorus x2]

Forever I'll walk right, forever I'll talk right, forever for You
Forever I'll live right, forever I'll love right, forever for You

Forever I'll live right, forever I'll love right, forever for You

Forever and ever and ever, ever and ever and ever
Lord Your worthy, oh so worthy
Forever and ever and ever, ever and ever and ever
Lord Your worthy, oh so worthy

Thy Will Be Done lyrics - Cece Winans



Time stand still, as we see the picture
Of a man who takes what is not his
Leaving in his way a broken woman
And a man who hates enough to kill
One by one
Somehow we come to understand what that means
And in desperation's tongue
Pray thy kingdom come, pray thy will be done

Side by side we watch this picture
Even as it grows beyond the screen
Most of us in pain hurting for the victims
But for some of us its more than just a movie scene
As one by one
We become all too aware of what that truly means
And instead of taking guard we embrace the morning sun
Let thy will be done

[CHORUS]
Thy will be done in me
Thy will be done indeed
Thy will be done
But while we're here waiting
Oh let it be
And oh won't you let it begin with me
Oh lord please let it begin with me

Time stand still as we get the picture
Of a man held high upon a hill
Willing to pay though not convicted
Willing to pay for crimes not his
As one by one we all come to understand
What that really means
And pray to the son
Let thy kingdom come, let thy will be done

[CHORUS]
Thy will be done in me
Thy will be done indeed
Thy will be done
But while we're here waiting
Oh, let it be
Oh, thy will be done in me
Thy will be done indeed (let it be, let it be, let it be)
Thy will be done but while we're here waiting
Oh let it be
Oh won't you let it begin with me
Oh won't you let it begin with me
Oh won't you let it begin with me (Thy will be done)
Oh won't you let it begin with me (shower down on us a blessin) [x4]
Time stand still

Worthy lyrics - Cece Winans

(Lord your worthy, oh so worthy) [x5]
And oh my soul
You have not been left alone
For He counted us worthy, so lets be worthy
Just trust and know
He strong enough to carry on
He counted us worthy, so lets be worthy
oh my soul

Your name is written in the book of life
Keep walking in dominion and his might
You serve the son you serve the one
Who knew you long 'fore you begun
And you are worthy, and you are worthy
Go ahead, encourage yourself
Look inside and draw from the well
The water flows and heaven knows
That you can't make it on your own
He said your worthy so lets be worthy

And, oh my soul
You have not been left alone
For he counted us worthy so lets be worthy
Just trust and know your strong enough to carry on
He counted us worthy so lets be worthy, eh
Oh my soul

So a man thinketh so does he believe
Faith is not about what you see
It doesn't matter how you feel
His word is right His love is real
He said you're worthy, so lets be worthy
Don't worry be happy and just say
The light is going to lead me all the way
Speak with authority and see
That even your words are victory
So say you're worthy, say you're worthy

For God so loved the world He gave His only son's life
So that two millenniums later we can go walking in that light
So that nothing and no one can separate us from that right
Let's be worthy (let's be worthy)
Let's be worthy, ooohhh

oh my soul (Oh, my soul)
You have not been left alone
He counted us worthy so lets be worthy
Just trust and know (Trust and know)
You're strong enough to carry on (Strong enough to carry on, OH yeah yeah)
He counted us worthy so lets be worthy,
Oh my soul

[BRIDGE]
Winter winds are blowin (Winter winds are blowin)
We know that Spring is soon to come (Spring is soon to come)
And we sing a song of summer (Sing a song of summer)

And He has made us worthy (And we will walk)
We will walk in heaven's glory (For we know)

It Ain't Over lyrics - Cece Winans

So you got a bad report
And it doesn't look good to you
Put a praise on your lips
This is what you gotta do
Speak to your situation without hesitation
God gave me this revelation just for you

[Bridge 1:]
It ain't over (It ain't over)
No matter what you're going through

And you answered the call
Keep your eyes on the prize
Don't give up the faith

That's why we say

It ain't over (It ain't over)
Weeping may endure for a night
It ain't over (It ain't over)
Joy's gonna come, joy's gonna come
It ain't over

Waging War lyrics - Cece Winans

Anoint my head anoint my feet
Send your angels raining down
Here on the battle ground
For your glory
Were taking territory
Fighting unseen enemies
Like never before
Were Waging War

[Bridge:]
I'm tired of principalities
Messing with me
(Waging war)
I'm tired of the devil
Stealing from me
(Waging war)
I promise he won't get
One more thing
(Waging war)
I'm taking it back
Taking territory
(Waging war)
I'm ready for the battle
I'm ready to win
(Waging war)
My weapon of power
He lives within
(Waging war)
I can't be defeated
The enemy gotta flee
(waging war)
I'm taking it back
Taking territory

Going into battle
Going into battle

Be my sword
Be my shield
As we claim the victory
Over the enemy
In your name
You rule and rain
Never being defeat
Anymore
Were waging war

[Bridge]

Send your fire
Send your fire

[Bridge 2:]
Fire by night
Cloud by day
A strong tower
Send the latter rain
Lion of Judah
Lord, God,
Mighty In battle
Since you did
It back then
We know you'll do
It again

Were going into battle
Were going into battle

[Bridge 2]

Waging war

Test Of Time lyrics - Cece Winans


I know your name
I hold your fate
I am the one who created you
I own the world
Yes, it's all mine
So why won't you let me carry you
You won't have to worry
You'll never worry
If you just rest and trust in me
Always remember that I am in control
For I am God
And I shall stand the test of time

[Chorus:]
Now we hear the waters roar
And we see the rainbow snile across the sky
We even smell the trees
And we feel the wind blow as it passes by
Every mountain, every valley
Every star above our head
Should remind us of the one who is in control
For He is God
And He shall stand the test of time
I know your pain
I know your faults
But still I'm here to comfort you
I've seen your ups
I've seen you downs
But it never stopped me from loving you
You won't have to worry
You'll never worry
If you just rest and trust in me
Always remember that I am in control
For I am God and I shall stand the test of time

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Come unto Me
I'll give you peace
And when will you see I'm all you need

[Chorus]

[Vamp:]
I know He'll stand
The test of time [Repeat out]

I'll Live For You lyrics - Cece Winans

You gave me unmerited favor
Indescribable peace
And every morning
New mercies I see
Great is your faithfulness
Great is your love towards me
You bear all my cares and nothing compares you're
Everything to me

And when the storms of life arise
It's your love that makes it alright
You said if we live for you there's nothing you
Would not do
So we come to you

[CHORUS]
So I will live my whole life for you all of my days
I will trust in your power and your holy name
I will love with my heart and give you all the praise
I proclaim I promise to
I proclaim lord I'll live for you

And now it's my turn to offer
You all I have
My heart felt praise
For the rest of my days
I'll lift your name up high
I'll tell the whole world
You bear all my cares and nothing compare you're
Everything to me

You said I could call on you
If I would live for you
You said you would see me through
Whenever I needed
You said I could count on you
If I would live for
For your love it never end I hold on to your promises

Oh Holy Place lyrics - Cece Winans


[Verse 1:]
Oh holy place
What a beautiful place
Like nothing I've ever seen before
Pure rivers flow
From your throne
Weary seas in perfect peace
And appearing
Before my eyes
I see your glory
Too glorious to describe
Oh God
You carried me through the fire
Now you lift me high
And joy over whelms my heart

[Chorus:]
Here in your holy place
Your presence surrounds me
I feel your embrace
Angels all around, and trumpet sound
Here in your arms I'll stay, and melt away
I've never seen such majesty beauty and grace
Oh holy place
Oh holy place

[Verse 2:]
All the spender
Brighter than the sun
Clear as crystal
Where thy will is done
Miraculous wonder
Set me free
A secret place eternally
And I thanked
The holy one
For loving my soul
With all his might
I'm so in love
With you
For your love is pure, and it shall endure
I'll ride on your wings and soar

[Chorus:]
Here in your holy place
Your presence surrounds me
I feel your embrace
Angels all around, and trumpet sound
Here in your arms I'll stay, and melt away
I've never seen such majesty beauty and grace
Oh holy place

You're The One lyrics - Cece Winans

Early morning when I wake
I come in to meet You in our special place
To get alone with You oh
You're the only One my heart beats for

I fell in love with You
When I was just a child I even knew
back then You were my bestfriend by far
You're the only One my heart beats for, beats for

Everything deep within me honors You
I'm grateful that I know the truth
For You are God, God alone
You're the only One my heart beats for
I asked You in my heart
You came in and saved my life forgave me
of all my sins and now I owe You
You're the only One my heart beats for

[Bridge]
No matter where I go or what I do
Your love is there to guide me
And if this world should pass
I know Your love will find me,ohhhhh

I'm happy that You gave me peace
Because I trust Your arms to hold me
When I'm weak, You're always strong
You're the only One my heart beats for
You're the only One

[Bridge]
Help me share with others all about You
And what we have so they
Can experience this love and know why
You're the only One my heart beats for

Time cannot endure
Your word,Your promises are sure
You promise paradise with You
oh You're the only One my heart beats for
My heart beats for
oh You're the only One my heart beats for

Million Miles lyrics - Cece Winans

Crown to the floor, my face to the ground,
Love to the core, and I cant make no sound
Time just fades and I'm lost in your stare.
I'm so amazed. why would I go anywhere, go anywhere.
Better is one day with you
Than a million more, a million miles away.
Better is one day with you.
Than a million more, a million miles away.
Better is one day with you,
Than a million more, a million miles away.
I wanna be with you, gotta be with
I wanna be with you, ouoh, oh oh
I wanna be with you, gotta be with
I wanna be with you, ouoh, oh oh oh oh
Ouoh, oh oh oh oh
Ouoh, oh oh oh oh
Ouoh, oh oh
I'm at rest and my strength is in you,
My heart is set. to journey the trail and love on the truth.
You know I believe , so let your kingdom come.
See the shape in my knees, I'm making space for the one, ...my beautiful one.
Better is one day with you
Than a million more, a million miles away.
Better is one day with you.
Than a million more, a million miles away.

We all have broken hearts, and we all make mistakes
But you showed your right hand, said come with me this way
And I have prepared for you a very special place
I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, wanna be with you oh, oh.
I wanna be with you, gotta be with you, wanna be with you oh, oh.

One mile, one week, one day, Its just too far away. its just too far away

Mamma's Kitchen lyrics - Cece Winans

I remember Saturdays helping Mama in her kitchen
Conversations prying, baking with passing down the wisdom
She said babygirl you're a queen and this is how you should be treated
Words she washed with tears and planted in my soul

[Chorus]
Can we just go back to the simple kinda living?
Can we just go back and maybe start from the beginning?
Back to better days, when love was for the giving
Can we just go back to the way we were?

Mama said there was a time when brothers were each others keepers
Sisters held each other close till there was nothing left between them
Back when a song was a song you could sing along didn't matter how long
Just as long as it spoke to ya, sung to ya
Do you know what I mean?

Now I'm chasing rainbows and dreams,
trying hard to believe
this is how it could be
Yesterday was yesterday, tomorrow's just a day away
By then it may be too late, maybe we can start today

You Will lyrics - Cece Winans

Another bird has grown
another part of all of us is gone
Another right has been wronged
Still we go on and on until
The words for each of us are all to real
Still I am not able to feel what you feel
And I cannot say how long, it will take for you to heal

[Chorus]
But I believe you will
And someday your broken hard will mend
I know it will
And you will find your smile again
Take your time, for time is what it's gonna take
And then one morning you'll awake to find there's one less tear
Then you've healed, I believe you will

The world has let you down
And words that could explain could not be found
To say that I understand is not enough
And it's gonna be a little while, before your heart can learn to trust

When you feel like all your hope is gone
Keep holding on till you find your way back to the garden
Find a way to heal you heart again

Pray lyrics - Cece Winans

I know that you think you can't pray after that mistake
but I know it's the only way you can make it better
And I know situations get too much for you to take
and you feel like you're gone break and it makes you say

[Chorus]
I can't take it
When will things get better?
I'm so frustrated, but it's gonna be okay cause
you've got someone in your corner
Who's gonna be there for ya
Just fall on your knees, say a prayer and receive

When the world feels like it's on your shoulders (I pray, you pray, we pray)
When your life seems like its upside down (I pray, you pray, we pray)
When your lonely nights are getting colder (I pray, you pray, we pray)
I pray, you pray no matter how dark the day

I know you think you've gone too far and you waited too late
But I know that He loves you and there's no love greater so
And I know that it's hurting and you want your pain to end
And you feel like you can't win and it makes you say

[Chorus]

Our Father which art in heaven
Hallowed be Thy name
All you gotta do is say

All That I Need lyrics - Cece Winans

You're crying night and day
You wonder how you ever lost your way
Nothing matters, you must survive
You heart is slowly dying and so you cry

[Chorus]
All that I need is love
From the moment I wake
Let me feel your embrace
All that I need is love
Hold me closer each day, every step of the way

Like flowers need the rain to live
A bright beginning Lord, the greatest gift you give
You changed my, life forever
Lover of my life, I realize

When the morning comes and the sun rises to the sky
All my troubles will be over and the way made easy
Until then all I need is to know You'll always hear me
When I call out Your name, call out Your name

Just Like That lyrics - Cece Winans

When he woke her up this morning she saw something on his mind
His eyes were cold and distant and his spirit was unkind
He said I'm off to find myself and I won't be coming back
She said ask the Lord to help you not to act like that
Why don't you just ask the Lord to help you not to act like that?

Now I know a woman burdened by the choices that she's made
Life reflects the consequence of making mistakes
So in her prayers each night she prays perpetually
Lord help me now to be the best that I can be
Father won't you just help me now to be the best that I can be?

[Chorus]
Cause I know there is joy, there is forgiving
There is peace and contentment
There is love and it grows unrelenting
I know my Lord He loves me just like that
I don't have to worry cause I know He loves me just like that

Well you may know some women hurting like the ones I've just described
Who's future seem impossible for them to survive
You can tell them I'm living proof by what He's done for me
The only thing required is that you just believe
All you have to do is simply just believe

Just like that, just like that
Think about it He can make everything change
Just like that
He's giving me love unconditionally
Treating my soul with everything I need
I love the way He loves me just like that

Now have faith in what you hope for and not in what you see
Believe in what I say to you and keep your eyes on Me
Cause I can change your husband's heart and make his love for you come back
Don't doubt what I can do, I love you just like that

You Are Loved lyrics - Cece Winans

[Verse 1:]
When I promised I'd be there and told
you I would always care (Well i ment every word)
And I know it's hard to let me close, those times it really hurts
the most, I'm trying desperatley to be heard
Though you, (though you try to), push me away,
I can feel your sorrow you don't have to be afraid cause you

[Chorus:]
You are loved,
Somebody told me to tell you,
you've been waiting for someone to say.
You are loved, so let your heart be encouraged,
it's gonna be okay cause you are loved

[Verse 2:]
No your not alone you've got a friend (You've got a friend),
to be by your side from the start to the end,
And I will always be around for you (I'll be around for yah)
So whenever, you began to doubt,
Oh my love for you will show just how I'm faithful and that I remain true.
No matter (no matter) what life takes you through,
you see I will be the one that you can always come back to cause you, yeah yeah

[Chorus]

Beleive within your heart from this moment on,
there's someone who love you in a special way,
no matter what you do no matter what you say,
just remeber this everyday

[Chorus]

[Outro:]
Someone told me to tell you.....
Someone told me to say (Told me to say that you)
You are loved (you gotta believe it)
Some one told me to tell you..........someone told me to say.....you are loved
[repeats and the song fades]

Let Everything That Has Breath lyrics - Cece Winans


Lord you set my soul on fire, object of my desire
I finally realize that I need You in my life
Right here by my side, You cover me day and night
And I just wanna thank you
Thank you for your mercies

Hallelujah for saving me
Hallelujah for healing my body
Hallelujah for joy You bring
Let everything that hath breath give you praise (in the morning)
Praise (in the noonday song)
Praise (in the midnight)
Let everything that hath breath give it to You

When You pulled me up out of sin
When my body had done me in
There was nothing until You stepped in and saved me
Now, now that I know the cost
That You paid for me on the cross
I just wanna say thank you
Give You the highest praise

If only one return to tell the story
If only one return to give you glory
With all my mind, body, soul and each breath in me
Let me be the one, let me be the one

Would You let me be the one?
Because of all I have I know I gotta praise Him
Would You let me be the one?
I'll be the first and last to give Him everything
Would You let me be the one?
And if all I had was to give Him all my praise
Would You let me be the one?

Always Sisters lyrics - Cece Winans

Always Sisters, Always Friends [repeat]

[Chorus]
Always Sisters, Always Friends
Let's stay real close till the end
Forgiving each other, letting love cover
Always Sisters, Always friends

[Verse]
We have to live in harmony
Even though we may disagree
Fighting each other, is not the answer
But sharing the greatest gift, Oooo
Let's be enriched with peace and love
Having compassion from above
Never forsaking just understanding
Ain't that what families are made of

Always Sisters, Always Friends

[Verse]
No matter what may come or go
We stick together and it shows
This bond between us
Foundation is trust
That's what true family is all about.

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
We really gotta' learn to love each other
I need to stick real close by your side
There's no way that we can live without each other
So why do we try

[Chorus]

Forever and always , I'm always gonna be with you, always
Forever and always, No matter what you're going through, always

I Promise (Wedding Song) lyrics - Cece Winans

I could tell by the way you smile
I could feel it in your touch
And I knew this heart of mine
This time would fall in love

All the hopes and promises given
And the pain that life can bring
Will build our will and commitment to face anything

I will love you faithfully, forever unconditionally
And my love I promise
Everything I have is yours
You're everything I prayed and waited for
And my love I promise you

Now we begin our life today
And though we've only just begun
The quest until we're old and gray is the vow to live as one

Through the desert winds that blow
I'll walk you through the winters cold
I'll be there to keep the fire alive
And when each passage we endure
We will stay strong, we can be sure
Our love survives

Colorful World lyrics - Cece Winans

It's a colorful world it's a beautiful world that we live [repeat]
It's a colorful world

She wears nose rings with weird things floating through her hair
She is slightly embarrassed by everyone who stares
And when she walks away you might say she's a little wild
But she could rule the world when she opens up her mouth and smiles

It's a colorful world that we live in, a colorful world that we live in
It's a colorful world it's a beautiful world that we live in(repeat)

Now he's been cheated, mistreated by the color of his skin
He is rarely contrary over what should not have been
And he holds up his head instead and he wears a smile
What motivates him most is what he finds deep down inside

Celebrate all our differences
Instead of building these lasting fences
What's in your heart matters most of all, most of all

We have millions of children with possibilities
From the streets of Nairobi to the hills of Tennessee
Every hand you touch has a friend with a different name
What makes this world a better place is that we're not the same

A Place Like This lyrics - Cece Winans

Let's Go!

And assess my life, as good as it can be

Purified lyrics - Cece Winans

[Verse 1:]
Life is a winding road that never ends
Oh full of ups and downs and turns
Too many cloudy days and sleepless nights
There's gotta be an answer to this pain inside
So now searching for a hero
Someone who can help me through this rain
And though I've tried I can't erase the shame
Only You can make it happen
I pray that You will make it happen

[Chorus:]
Purified, I want to be purified
I want to be fresh like the rushing water
In the presence of the father
Purified, I want to be pure inside
I want to be fresh like the summer breeze
It's what I wanna be

Yeah, through the living waters I will run
Where I'll find a better place
Oh, I'm longing for a perfect heart
I need for you to make it happen
Only You can make it happen

[Chorus]

[Hook:]
So here me cry as I pour out my heart
Telling you how I feel
You know where it is so I'm asking you to heal me

[Chorus]

He's Concerned lyrics - Cece Winans



God is, just a prayer away
All you need to do is call
He will hear, your faintest cry
He's concerned about you

So while your tears are flowing through
Your time of mourning
He is here to lift your heavy heart
'Cause He's in love with you

He knows
He cares
He sees
He's there
And He'll carry you
He's concerned about you

Weeping may, endure for a night
But the morning will bring joy
He won't give, you more than you can bear
He's concerned about you

He loves you, oh yes
He loves you, ooooo
He loves you, I know He does, He really does
He's concerned about you

He knows
He cares
He sees
He's there
He'll carry you
He's concerned about you

Well, He knows
And He cares
He sees
He's right there
He'll carry you
He's concerned about you
He's concerned about you
He's concerned, about you

How Great Thou Art lyrics - Cece Winans

Oh Lord, my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed

Aah...

When thru the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze

Then sings my soul
My Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art

Then sings my soul
My Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art

When Christ shall come,
With shouts of acclamation
And take me home
What joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration
And there proclaim,
"My God, how great Thou art!"

Then sings my soul
My Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art

Then sings my soul
My Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art
How great Thou art

How great Thou art
How great...Thou art

How great Thou art
Oh Lord, my God

How great Thou art
How great Thou art
Oh Lord, my God

Mercy Said No lyrics - Cece Winans

I was just a child, when I felt the Savior leading
I was drawn to what I could not understand
And for the cause of Christ, I have spent my days believing
That what He'd have me be, is who I am

As I've come to see the weaker side of me
I realize His grace is what I'll need
When sin demanded justice for my soul

[Chorus]
Mercy said no
I'm not gonna let you go
I'm not gonna let you slip away
You don't have to be afraid
Mercy said no
sin will never ever take control
Life and death stood face to face
Darkness tried to steal my heart away carry for 3 beats ...
Thank You Jesus, Mercy said no carry it for 5 beats.....

For God so loved the world, that He sent His son to save us
From the cross He built a bridge to set us free
Oh, but deep within our hearts, there is still a war that rages
And makes a sacrifice so hard to see

As midnight fell on crucifixion day
The light of hope seemed oh so far away
As evil tried to stop redemption's flow

[Repeat Chorus]

[Bridge]
And now when heaven looks at me
It's through the blood of Jesus
Reminding me of one day long ago

[Repeat Chorus]

All In Your Name lyrics - Cece Winans

I want is in Your name

You will supply Lord
Whatsoever
I want is in Your name

Whatever I want
It's all in Your name
Whatever I need
It's in Your Holy name

Whenever I call upon Your name
All that I need You will surely bring
It's all in Your name Lord

All in Your name

[Repeat Chorus]

[Repeat Chorus]

If I need peace
Peace, it's in Your name Lord
If I need joy
Joy, it's in Your name Lord
Whatsoever I want is in Your name

No One Else lyrics - Cece Winans

Heavenly father, there is no one greater
How excellent is thy name in all the earth

Got to tell the world about Ya
Gonna lift my voice, make a joyful noise

I'm gonna sing Your praises everyday
Got to tell the world about Ya
Gonna lift my voice, make a joyful noise
And this is why because there's...

No one else (not even mother)
No one else (not even father, no)

Got to tell the world about Ya
Gonna lift my voice, make a joyful noise
Ain't never seen nothing like Ya

I'm gonna sing Your praises everyday
Got to tell the world about Ya
I'm gonna lift my voice, make a joyful noise
And this is why because there's...

A Heart Like Yours lyrics - Cece Winans

I try to reach out for you but I fall
Sometimes you seem so close and yet so far
Oh I need another chance
I need to know your mercy
Just give me the strength to change within
I know that I am not all that I can be
My weakness seems to get the best of me
But as long as you are here
I know that I will make it
Every step along the way
Please hear my prayer

[Refrain]
A heart like yours, is my desire
A heart like yours, is what I am searching for
Full of compassion, nothing wrong within
Please hear me Lord, give me a heart like yours

So much grace, so much kindness
So much faith, for ever true
Strong as the wind, soft as the shadows
If just once, I could be like you

[Refrain]
A heart like yours, is my desire
A heart like yours, is what I am searching for
Full of compassion, nothing wrong within
Please hear me Lord, give me a heart like yours
Please hear me Lord, give me a heart like yours [2x]

Because without You there's no way that I can stay strong
I can't go on any longer on my own so hear me when I say
Heavenly Father, we need Your help today

And if ever there was a time, a time we needed you
Yes if ever there was a time, a time we needed You
You know that it's everyday, everyday
We need You in ever way, ever way
We know that it's everyday

Heavenly Father, You're the one we're waiting on
Because without You there's no way that I can stay strong
I can't go on any longer on my own so hear me when I say
Heavenly Father, we need Your

Heavenly Father, You're the one we're waiting on
Because without You there's no way that I can stay strong
I can't go on and on, on my own so hear me when I say
Heavenly Father, we need Your love, Your love
Need Your love, we need Your love today

Anybody Wanna Pray lyrics - Cece Winans (feat. GRITS)

Do it, do it
Oh, geez
Do it, do it
Anybody wanna pray
Oh, yeah-yeah

Look at the world and all the trouble it's in
We've traded righteousness for pleasures of sin
And now that things have gotten way out of hand
You're wonderin' how and you're wonderin' when

Hate is filtered right into your home (into your home)
Takin' the love that the family once owned (the family once owned)
Mothers against the daughters, dads against sons
The way that it looks seems like Evil has won

[Refrain]
Anybody wanna pray with me
Anybody wanna pray with me, anybody wanna
Anybody wanna pray with me (and chase all these troubles away)
Anybody wanna pray with me
Anybody wanna pray with me, anybody wanna
Anybody wanna pray with me (and chase all these dark clouds away)

I understand just why you'd throw him the towel (throw him the towel)
Where there's no hope, life is not worth the while (is not worth the while)
Why would you choose to (live without me)
What else do you want (What else do you want) when I am all that you need?
(Oh-whoa, oh-whoa, searchin' high and searchin' low ev'ryday)
To find a peace of mind and someone to care
(Hey, what you say?) When all you have to do is (fall on your knees
Take a look at yourself, I'm all that you need
Say it again)

[Refrain]

(And now, it's time to shout) Shout the victory (We win)
If you haven't read the book, come and go with me
There comes a time when (There comes a time when) all jokes aside (Stop playin')
You make up your mind, you
Make up your mind

On bended knees, these petitions get heard
From the throne room to packed arenas you've heard
Known for that, must commence to rock it fat
Crowd react, believe I'll pray for that

Yo', I keep my stance on the rock like this
So, if two, three or mor' decide to lock wrist
You better come strong, faith long like this
‘Cause wit' Grits and Cece, you know, God in the midst

[Refrain, 2 fois]
(recite The Lord's Prayer)
Come on,
It's time to pray
It's time to pray

Say A Prayer lyrics - Cece Winans

I still remember the nights
When there was darkness in my life
But then You came
Something deep inside me changed
And now I pray

I started to trust without fear
Knowing You'd hold me through the tears
Because of You
I've learned there's nothing love can't do
So hear me pray

Just a little help is all we need
Just a little light we can see
Just a little faith leads the way

For everyone who's falling in love
For every child that needs a touch
For all of the hopes and dreams that we share
And for the hearts that cry tonight, I'll say a prayer

How can one voice be heard?
I've got to tell the whole world
How much You care
'Cause no one has to walk alone
So hear me pray

Just a little help is all we need
Just a little light we can see
Just a little faith leads the way

For everyone who's falling in love
For every child that needs a touch
For all of the hopes and dreams that we share
And for the hearts that cry tonight, I'll say a prayer

I'll close my eyes
While I'm down on my knees
It gives me courage to believe
So I'll keep on believing, I'll keep on believing

For everyone who's falling in love
For every child that needs a touch
For all of the hopes and dreams that we share
And for the hearts that cry tonight

For everyone who's falling in love
For every child that needs a touch
For all of the hopes and dreams that we share
And for the hearts that cry tonight

For everyone who's falling in love
For every child that needs a touch
For all of the hopes and dreams that we share
And for the hearts that cry tonight, I'll say a prayer

I'll say a prayer
I'll say a prayer
I'll say a prayer

More Than What I Wanted lyrics - Cece Winans

I wasn't looking
All the colors were gray
It's hard to notice
When You're out in the rain

All of a sudden
Colors are starting to change
You brought the light
Now the darkness is gone

The search is over now I know You are the one
Somebody tell me
Where did an angel come from?
'Cause You're more than just the one

Yeah, You're more than what I wanted
Everything I never had
Gotta get right to Your heart
You can show me where it's at

You are the miracle I needed so bad
You're more than what I wanted
Everything I never had

Somethin' about You, can't say what it is
Thought You should know that
You are the reason I live
I would do anything to make you
Believe me somehow
So I'm telling you now

That You're more than what I wanted
Everything I never had
Gotta get right to Your heart
You can show me where it's at

You are the miracle I needed so bad
You're more than what I wanted
Everything I never had

Just let me say I would die for You
Give all I have to prove my love is true
And I'll never let you go

More than what I wanted
Everything I never had
Gotta get right to Your heart
You can show me where it's at

You are the miracle I needed so bad
You're more than what I wanted
Everything I never had

Looking Back At You lyrics - Cece Winans

What can I do? What wish can I make come true?
Because you mean so much to me
The love I have for you is so strong, this is where I belong
My arms are open wide, so let me hold you

I will be the rock for you, the rain for you
The sun that lights the way across the dark, no matter where you are
I'm never very far away, night and day my love will lead you through
Look into your heart, I'll be looking back at you

It took some time, but finally you're all mine
It was the hardest road that brought you here
Now whatever comes will be alright, I'll never leave your side
So give me your hand and don't let go

I will be the rock for you, the rain for you
The sun that lights the way across the dark, no matter where you are
I'm never very far away, night and day my love will lead you through
Look into your heart, I'll be looking back at you

We'll find our way through every storm together now
Just look into your heart, I'll be there

I will be the rock for you, the rain for you
The sun that lights the way across the dark, no matter where you are
I'm never very far away, night and day my love will lead you through
Look into your heart, I'll be looking back at you
Look into your heart, I'll be looking back at you, you

More Than Just A Friend lyrics - Cece Winans

Hello, Mr. Busy

I wonder could you share a little time
Let me introduce you to abundance
All that you need I will supply
I wanna be everything, I wanna be more

Already know about the secrets
Already heard about the past
I didn't come to hold the guilt up over
Only want to share the love I have
All I wanna be is everything
I wanna be more than just your friend

Let me be the one to hold you through the night
Then I can take your enemy and win the fight

I wanna be more than just your sister
I wanna be more than next of kin
Gotta be more than just your brother
I wanna be more than just a friend
All I wanna be is everything, I wanna be more

Stay close to me
Be ready to hear my next words
I've got a lot of grace to deliver
And in case you haven't heard
I wanna be everything, I wanna be more

Many places I can take you
Many promises to fill
But in order to receive them
We've got to make this clear
I've got to be everything
I want to be more than just your friend

Let me be the one to love you when you're wrong
Then I can be the lyrics to a happy song

I wanna be more than just your sister
I wanna be more than next of kin
Gotta be more than just your brother
I wanna be more than just a friend
All I wanna be is everything, I wanna be more

No One lyrics - Cece Winans


I whisper words about You endlessly
Mostly to myself 'cause You make me believe
No one could ever love me like You could
There wouldn't be a day I'd be alone
And never would there be a time I didn't know
'Cause no one could ever love me like You could

You have been the one who fulfills my dreams
I'll never let You go
If you stay with me
I promise, You would know

(No one)
Of all the times, I've reached out for You
(No one)
Oh, can't You see how I adore You
I couldn't spend my life without You
Please believe me, I would never doubt You

You've been the one to answer all my prayers
Anytime I need You, I know that You'll be there
'Cause no one could ever love me like You could
I'm hoping that you'll hear these prayers of mine
I'm hoping that we'll be together for all times
'Cause no one could ever love me like You could

You have been the one who fulfills my dreams
I'll never let You go
If You stay with me
I promise, You would know

(No one)
Of all the times, I've reached out for You
(No one)
Oh, can't You see how I adore You
I couldn't spend my life without You
Please believe me, I will never doubt You

Oh, I would do anything for You
To share that place in my heart
Please let me be the one
It would mean everything
There'll be no one to keep us apart

(No one)
Of all the times, I've reached out for You
(No one)
Oh, can't You see how I adore You
I couldn't spend my life without You
Please believe me, I will never doubt You

(No one)
Of all the times, I've reached out for You
(No one)
Oh, can't You see how I adore You
I couldn't spend my life without You
There is no one who could love me like You do

(No one)
Of all the times, I've reached out for You
(No one)
Oh, can't You see how I adore You
I couldn't spend my life without You
There is no one who could love me like You do

(No one)
Of all the times, I've reached out for You
(No one)
Oh, can't You see how I adore You
I couldn't spend my life without You
There is no one who could love me like You do

For Love Alone lyrics - Cece Winans

Do you sit by yourself
And wonder what life is all about?
If there's a purpose or a plan
Or does it happen by chance?

Do you ever think why
Things always turn out right
No matter how bad
You find your way again

I've learned how to keep it all together
And now I know, nothing else matters

For love alone, I live my life
And from this moment on I vow
To never lose sight
If I ever doubt the reason why I'm here
I'll start questioning my fears
And know, it's for love alone

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Time flies so fast
Live each day like it's the last
(Live each day like it's the last)

Cherish what you have
When it's gone you can't go back
'Cause at the end of the day
When we are face to face
I won't be afraid, I am glad to say

I've learned how to keep it all together
And now I know nothing else matters

For love alone, I live my life
And from this moment on I vow
To never lose sight
If I ever doubt the reason why I'm here
I'll start questioning my fears
And know it's for love alone

What I have inside
(What I have inside will never)
It will never die
(Never die)

For love alone, I live my life
And from this moment on I vow
To never lose sight
If I ever doubt the reason why I'm here
I'll start questioning my fears
And know it's for love alone

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
For love alone
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
For love alone, for love alone

Bring Back The Days Of Yea And Nay lyrics - Cece Winans (feat. Marvin Winans)

A time of innocence and love
Could we go back to how it was?
I remember when life was so simple
You did or you didn't

You would or you wouldn't
But it ain't like that anymore
I remember when life was so easy

People said what they meant
They were either for it or against
But it ain't like that anymore
Somewhere we lost the score

Bring back the days of yea and nay
When we could plainly see the way
Then it was up to us to choose
Whether to win or to lose

Bring back the times when we could see
What it was we were to be
Caught in the midst of complexity
We search for yea and nay

I remember when life was so simple
Parents were a light
Through them, we saw what was right
But it ain't like that anymore

I remember when life was so easy
Boys grew into men, little girls to women then
But it ain't like that anymore
Somewhere we lost the score

Bring back the days of yea and nay
When we could plainly see the way
Then it was up to us to choose
Whether to win or to lose

Bring back the times when we could see
What it was we were to be
Caught in the midst of complexity
We search for yea and nay

We knew where we belonged
What was right and what was wrong

Bring back the days of yea and nay
When we could plainly see the way
Then it was up to us to choose
Whether to win or to lose

Bring back the times when we could see
What it was we were to be
Caught in the midst of complexity
We search for yea and nay

Need a simple yes or no
Should I stay or should I go
Life has become so advanced
Wish I had a second chance
To go back if I could

See what was bad and what was good
Now I'm here and what I fear
Is, we won't find yea or nay

Out My House lyrics - Cece Winans

I been sittin' here thinking
And I've come to conclude
That you've been takin' things that really don't belong to you
Sit down, better yet get out

And now you actin' up
'Cause you know that I'm on to you
And now I'm 'bout to tell you what you're gonna do
Get out, get out, out my house

Don't want you on my porch no more
Stop looking through my window open
'Cause you're my enemy and not my friend
(Not my friend)
I can see clearly and I don't

Wanna hear you on my radio
Don't wanna see you on my TV screen
Don't wanna read you in my magazine
(Movie scene)
You need to hear me

(You know you're wrong)
Tryin' to run them games on me
(And you know you're wrong)
Tryin' to put them chains on me
(I need you gone gone gone gone gone)

I need you gone, gone, I need you gone
So now you're gonna have to yield the floor
And one thing more
I'm gonna have to show you to the door
And when you go
(And when you go please stay away)

(Get out my house)
I don't ever want to have to see your face round here no more
(Get out my house, out my house, out my house)
(You need to get out my house)
I don't ever want to have to see you come around here no more
(Get out my house, out my house, out my house)

Stop messin' with my family
I'm takin' back what you stole from me
'Cause now, I'm living in victory
And you don't scare me, I'll tell you why

God is for me so I'm not afraid
My escape is already made
And His life it was the price He paid
(Price He paid)
And now you're under my feet

(You know you're wrong)
Tryin' to run them games on me
(And you know you're wrong)
Tryin' to put them chains on me
(I need you gone gone gone gone gone)

I need you gone, gone, I need you gone
So now you're gonna have to yield the floor
And one thing more
I'm gonna have to show you to the door
And when you go
(And when you go please stay away)

I need you gone, gone, gone, gone, gone

I just really need you gone, gone, gone, gone
So now I have to tell you so long
It was all wrong and what I don't want
Is you to ever come back 'cause I'm

Not in the mood to negotiate, I know
God is for me and I'm not afraid
Gone, gone, gone, gone
And when you go and when you go please stay away

(You know you're wrong)
Tryin' to run them games on me
(And you know you're wrong)
Tryin' to put them chains on me
(I need you gone gone gone gone gone)

I need you gone, gone, I need you gone
So now you're gonna have to yield the floor
And one thing more
I'm gonna have to show you to the door
And when you go
(And when you go please stay away)

It's Gonna Get Better lyrics - Cece Winans

It's gonna get better
It's gonna get better, better

You're feeling all alone
Your pain is very real
It seems to be no way out
Just look above and deep inside
You can survive

It's gonna get better
Don't give up now please

Weeping may endure for a night
But joy will come
There's hope so will you stay

You've worth much more than gold
Even though you weren't told
Each day is a gift so live

The sun is going to shine again
Hang in there and you'll be much stronger
You will survive

It's gonna get better
Don't give up now please
It's gonna get better
Just stick around

Weeping may endure for a night
But joy will come
There's hope so will you stay
It's gonna get better
It's gonna get better
Please don't throw your life away

Love has brought you this far
And it will lead you to that light

It's gonna get better
Don't give up now please
It's gonna get better
Just stick around

Weeping may endure for a night
But joy will come
There's hope so will you stay
It's gonna get better
It's gonna get better
Please don't throw your life away




Better Place lyrics - Cece Winans



[Verse I]
We have days very long
We have days very hard
We're given up our lives for the sake of the call
And in those times when we thought
We were not gonna make it
We would remind ourselves that our reward is in heaven

[Bridge]
We're goin' to a place that is truly blessed
A place where we'll find rest yeah
Prepared for me and you
I'm getting my house in order How about you?
A place that is full of peace
Love it will be over flowing
We'll be there for eternity
I want you there yeah I want you there with me

[Chorus]
Keep your head up he's coming some day to carry us away to a better place [repeat]

[Verse II]
We all have times when we're weak and we have times when we're strong
We don't always do what's right cause sometimes it's easier to do wrong
Well everybody makes mistakes yeah at some point in their lives
You know that nobody's perfect
We're all just reaching for the prize

[Bridge]
We're goin' to a place that is truly blessed
A place where we'll find rest yeah
Prepared for me and you
I'm getting my house in order How about you?
A place that is full of peace
Love it will be over flowing
We'll be there for eternity
I want you there yeah I want you there with me

[Chorus]
Keep your head up he's coming some day to carry us away to a better place [4X]

[Verse III]
White pearly gates that's where the streets are made with gold
His glory illuminates the heavens
Walls of jasper
We'll live there ever after
We'll seek his face
We'll bow down and cry holy holy holy holy

[Chorus]
Keep your head up he's coming some day to carry us away to a better place [4X]

It Wasn't Easy lyrics - Cece Winans

Don't think for a moment
I never felt the pain
You can't imagine
The hurt and the shame
They put the nails through my hands
Pierced my side, please understand
It wasn't easy, but it was worth it

It wasn't easy, it wasn't easy
It wasn't easy but it was worth it
It wasn't easy, it wasn't easy
It wasn't easy but it was worth it

I didn't have to do it
But I did it anyway
'cause I really love you
So much I took your place
I died for your sins
Yes I'm the one
Don't take it lightly
What I've done
It wasn't easy, but it was worth it

I left my throne
My purpose was the cross
Shed innocent blood
I paid all cost

Alabaster Box lyrics - Cece Winans

The room grew still
As she made her way to Jesus
She stumbles through the tears that made her blind
She felt such pain
Some spoke in anger
Heard folks whisper
There's no place here for her kind
Still on she came
Through the shame that flushed her face
Until at last, she knelt before his feet
And though she spoke no words
Everything she said was heard
As she poured her love for the Master
From her box of alabaster

[Refrain]

And I've come to pour
My praise on Him
Like oil from Mary's alabaster box
Don't be angry if I wash his feet with my tears
And I dry them with my hair
You weren't there the night He found me
You did not feel what I felt
When he wrapped his love all around me and
You don't know the cost of the oil
In my alabaster box

I can't forget the way life used to be
I was a prisoner to the sin that had me bound
And I spent my days
Poured my life without measure
Into a little treasure box
I'd thought I'd found
Until the day when Jesus came to me
And healed my soul
With the wonder of His touch
So now I'm giving back to Him
All the praise He's worthy of
I've been forgiven
And that's why
I love Him so much

[Refrain]

And I've come to pour
My praise on Him
Like oil from Mary's alabaster box
Don't be angry if I wash his feet with my tears
And dry them with my hair (my hair)
You weren't there the night Jesus found me
You did not feel what I felt
When He wrapped his loving arms around me and
You don't know the cost of the oil
Oh, you don't know the cost of my praise
You don't know the cost of the oil
In my alabaster box

Comforter lyrics - cece winans

Faithful Friend and Father, I've called You through the years
You've been Great Physician when sickness lingered near
Through distressing moments Your name is new and sweet
You've become Comforter to me

You are Comforter, that's who You are to me
Comforter, a name that fits so perfectly
Peace that passes all understanding
Comforter is who You are to me, it's who You are to me

And to the grieving family who weeps for loved ones gone
The pain of separation consumes another home
But on the waves of sorrow, You walk with perfect ease
Comforter is who the whole world needs

You are Comforter, that's who You are to me
Comforter, a name that fits so perfectly
Peace that passes all understanding
Comforter is who You are to me

Peace Giver, Life Changer
Joy River, Peace Giver
Way Maker, Life Changer
Peace Giver, Joy River

Comforter, that's who You are to me
Comforter, a name that fits so perfectly
Peace that passes all understanding
Comforter is who You are to me
Comforter is who You are to me

Joy River, Peace Giver
Way Maker, Life Changer
Peace Giver, Joy River

Peace Giver, Life Changer
Joy River, Peace Giver
Way Maker, Life Changer

Without Love lyrics - Cece Winans

Without Love
There's no need to prophesy
Without Love
There would be no blue skies
Without Love
We're all just wasting our time
Loves the key to eternal life

Love suffers long and it's kind to all (all the time)
It never fails, helping others (never seeks her own)
Love always bears and endureth all
Without love everything would fall
Love is the greatest gift that (God has given us)
It never leaves, Love is stronger (than anything)

I can have faith to remove mountains
But it means nothin without love
Love is the greatest--God has given us
It never leaves--Than anything
I can have faith to remove mountains

Love is the key
(It's the greatest gift)
Love is the key
(It forgives all things)
Love is the key
(It's the greatest gift of all)
Love is the key

He's Not On His Knees Yet lyrics - Cece Winans

He doesn't know his worth
Wears the saddest smile on earth
But he denies it
Love is reaching out to him
But he won't let it in
He defies it
He defies it

[Refrain]
He's not ready
He's not on his knees yet
He's too strong to be weak
Show him mercy
He's not on his knees yet
Let him break please
Make him better
Put the pieces back together

He thinks that he's alone
I have walked the road the he's on
And I know he's searching
Looking everywhere but up
He can't fill his empty cup
So he keeps hurting
He keeps hurting

[Refrain]
He's not ready
He's not on his knees yet
He's too strong to be weak
Show him mercy
He's not on his knees yet
Let him break please
Make him better
Put the pieces back together
Help him please
He's not on his knees...
