Lyrics from the album 'choose'
Still the one (Old Love) Rebecca Martin
Dedicated to Todd, my husband of 25 years!
Verse 1:
A million memories are our alone
So many highs & lows- oh how we’ve both grown!
The future lays before us, the past is what defined us
There’s no one else I’d rather do my life with
Chorus:
Take my hand again as we walk this road
Remember the love we promised years ago
Through all the trials and tears we’ve grown
I still chose you now, just as I choose you then.
Bridge:
You still make me laugh, you can also make me cry
But you’re still the one I want to hold me til I die
When I think of my life, I can’t imagine it without you
I still do mean those vows I said to you
Verse 2:
I thought I knew back then what the future held
And I was sure our life would be perfect til the end
But our story is much different than we ever imagined
But there’s no one else I’d rather do my life with
FAITHFUL Rebecca Martin
Verse 1
Lord you have freed me from my fears
Dried my eyes from endless tears
You have been faithful through it all
You catch me when I fall
By my side You are my guide
Chorus:
You are faithful, always faithful
I never have to fear when I’m with You
You’ve been there for me- thru my story
You are the one who always gets me through
Verse 2:
Throughout my life you’ve remained true
Despite how often I’ve denied You
Your presence is so near, I have no need to fear
You’re always by my side
Bridge
I’ve traveled the world, Yet never found the end of your grace for me
Seen places far & wide yet never been where you are not there
I’ve run away from, You yet never found the end of Your grace for me
Denied & turned away yet you remain faithful to me.

WORTHY Rebecca Martin
We worship cause He’s worthy, not because of our own worth
We worship cause He’s gracious not because we are good
We worship with our praise & we can worship with our pain
Our focus is on You, Lord You can free me from my chains
God You’re worthy, No matter what we say
Lord, You’re loving, no matter what we do
God You’re holy, You call us to much more
Here & now we declare You are the Lord of us all
Brand plucked from the Fire Rebecca Martin
Verse 1:
Today I saw a house exploded from inside out
Destroyed belongings left as they were in the moment of destruction
Charred & damaged- No use anymore
Months this house has sat the 2 ends complete
The middle gone. Windows blown out
The inside burned up. Not torn down yet not rebuilt
Chorus:
Build strong, Build well for the world will try to tear you down
Stand strong, Choose well, Do right all your days
For the time is coming & the trial is here
Your world is exploding- the end is near
The choices you make will determine the outcome
What will stand, What will last of what you’ve built?
Verse 2:
Today I heard of a life exploded from inside out
Destroyed relationships left as they were
In that moment of destruction damaged & gone.
Months this soul has grieved
Going on with life as if nothing had happened
Yet inside they’re torn & shattered
No direction on how to move forward
Bridge:
Like a brand pulled from the fire
Charred & changed are you
Let the impact of your life
Leave a lasting mark around you
Lead us, Guide us Rebecca Martin
Verse 1:
Lead us to the one (your son) Lead us to your heart
Lead us through the trials and the pain
Guide us in Your ways Guide us to Your truth
Guide us all the days of our lives
Chorus 1:
May we choose to show forgiveness
Even when it is so hard
May we choose to extend kindness
Even when they break our heart
Verse 2:
Lead us to Your truth Lead us to Your purpose
Lead us to follow Your way all our days
Guide us in Your love Guide us in compassion
Guide us with Your word all our ways
Chorus 2:
May we choose to love our neighbor
Even when we disagree
May we choose to obey Your way
Even when our hearts are grieved
Forgiveness Rebecca Martin
Verse 1:
When hearts that were hard are now softened
And walls that were built are now broken
Tears left uncried now stream down your face
Let love and grace and peace enter in
Chorus:
Forgiveness when you’ve been hurt is a hard price to pay
The hurt is deep & the pain is real. Let it go, let them go
Verse 2:
Prayers left unsaid are now spoken
Eyes that were closed are now open
Doors that were shut now swing wide open
As love and grace and peace enter in.
Bridge:
Bitterness held in like a bottle under pressure
It’s only a matter of time before it bursts
Let the offenses go and let peace enter in
Let your enemy go and you release yourself too.
Verse 3:
Hands that were clasped are now opened
Arms that were folded now enfold others
Expressions filled with anger now soften to smiles
As love & grace & peace enter in
ANCHOR Rebecca Martin
Verse 1:
Waves are pounding Lord I’m drowning
I’m being swept far out to sea.
The storm is swirling, I am whirling, in confusion & pain
Chorus:
But God is my anchor. My rescue & savior.
He alone can deliver me. My God has delivered me.
Bridge
Lord save me is my desperate cry- As one more wave crashes over me.
Will I make it? Does He care? I am gasping just for air
Questions pound as hard as waves.
No time to find the answer I must fight to survive.
Then by a miracle God’s own hand reaches down gently lifts me to safety
The boat is destroyed & much is lost I will never be the same again
But I realize the worst is over now & God has been in the storm with me.
Chorus
Verse 2:
Through every trial He has faithfully carried me
Even when I was sure my ship had sunk
Storms have abounded but through every trial
God has always brought back the sun
Sacrifice Rebecca Martin
Verse 1:
Unseen & unknown Always putting others first
You think their needs are more important
Keep giving til there’s nothing left to give.
Verse 2:
Stuff the feelings down inside
Whatever you do don’t let them see you cry
Hold it all together as you silently die
Pre-chorus (A):
You’re strong for those around you-Who will be strong for you?
You give it all for others, who will give it all for you?
Chorus:
Be open, be true to all the feelings inside of you
You are worth it, you are precious, your life is important too
God loves you so much more than you imagine, He’s for you
He gave all to save you, it’s not your job to save the world
He saved the world. (I can’t save the world)
Pre-Chorus (B)
He’s strong for those around you
Will you let Him be strong for you?
He gave it all for others, will you give it all for Him?
