SIDEWALK PROPHETS LYRICS
album: "Something Different" (2015)
Prodigal
It's been a long time since you felt peace
In the valley you made where you're not meant to be
Where the shame throws shadows on you
But don't you forget
That you're headed to more
But you've settled for less
Don't buy the lie "it's as good as it gets"
The same feet that left you lost and alone
Are the very same feet that can bring you back home
Wherever you are, whatever you did
It's a page in your book, but it isn't the end
Your Father will meet you with arms open wide
This is where your heart belongs
Come running like a prodigal
There will be nights, when you hear whispers
Of the life you once knew, don't let it linger
Cause there's a grace that falls upon you
Don't you forget
In the places your weak
He is very strong
Don't ever believe "you don't deserve love"
The same God that protects you when you're lost and alone
Is the very same God that is calling you home
Wherever you are, whatever you did
It's a page in your book, but it isn't the end
Your Father will meet you with arms open wide
This is where your heart belongs
Come running like a prodigal
Oh…
Let your life be made new
Oh…
As you come into view
Your Father's not waiting, no he's running too
He's running straight to you
Wherever you are, whatever you did
It's a page in your book, but it isn't the end
Your Father will meet you with arms open wide
This is where your heart belongs
Come running like a prodigal [repeat]

Something Different
When we walk down the street
it'd be to a whole 'nother beat
and you would see
a Light in you and me

Some kinda relief
and they'd be like
ooh aah, look at 'em go
whata they know that I don't know
ooh aah every move we make
don't ya know that we can
help see 'em saved
There's something different
something different
and I gotta have it
I can't describe it

but I know that I need it
I don't know what it is
but I need a dose of it
C'mon c'mon c'mon

Yeah we got that spark
it's a break from the dark
so real so right
and they be like
I think I need it in my life
Oooh aaah

It's a feeling like being home
It's always knowing that you're never alone
It's a shock to your sleeping soul
It's a love like you've never known
It's a feeling like being home
It's always knowing that you're never alone
It's Jesus Christ and He's in my soul
There's something different

Everything In Awe
Stars exploding in the wake of your love
Galaxies all turn their heads
The skies are gazing on their one creator
Universe in awe
You sit in throne above the earth's great circle
Mountains reach for you
The ocean waves hum a lullaby
Whole wide world in awe
Can't help but be still
In know you are God
I marvel at you
My eyes catch a glimpse of every sunset
You trace dreams upon my mind
My skin and bones can feel your touch
I shiver
Heart and soul in awe
Can't help but be still
In know you are God
I marvel at you
Frozen in my steps
Like a child in wonder
When I see you move
Everything in awe
Everything in awe
Everything in awe
Everything in awe
Stars exploding in the wake of your love
Galaxies all turn their heads
The skies are gazing on their one creator
Universe in awe
Whole wide world in awe
Heart and soul in awe
Everything in awe
Everything in awe
Everything in awe
Everything in awe

To Live Is Christ
If I rise, let me rise on you
Not on all of my successes, my sting or my pursuits
If I lose, let me lose my life
Cuz if I belong to Jesus, the flesh is crucified
For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ, to die is gain
If I grow, let me grow in You
whilt the seeds of wanting more
ripped and pried out by the roots
and if I'm still, let me hear You speak
Not the tone of my transgressions,
but the song of the Redeemed
For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ, to die is gain
For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ, to die is gain
My great desire is to be with You
But this is the place you chose for me
this is the place you chose for me
to lift my cross and give everything
this is the time you gave to me
this is the time you gave to me
For me to live is Christ, For me to live is Christ
For me to live is Christ, to die is gain
I'll never be the same, I'll never be the same
For me to live is Christ, to die is gain

Impossible
They tell me that I can't
Tell me that I won't
Tell me that I'm washed up
Tell me that I'm broke
They tell me that I don't
Don't have what it takes
Tell me that I'm crazy
Hanging on by faith
Tell me I'm a lost cause
I'm a hopeless soul
Just stand back watch my God do
The impossible, the impossible
Everything is possible
With him everything is possible, is possible
Everything is possible
Everything is possible
Precious God you bring life from death
With your word all of time began
Is possible, the impossible
Everything is possible
Watch our God do the impossible
Some would say it's foolish
Stepping on the ways
Some would say it's over
When you're buried in the grave
We're calling all the dreamers
With passion in their eyes
Calling all believers out into the light
Even when it's hopeless
Out of our control
Just let go, watch our God do
The impossible, the impossible
Everything is possible
With him everything is possible, is possible
Everything is possible
Everything is possible
Precious God you bring life from death
With your word all of time began
Is possible, the impossible
Everything is possible
Watch our God do the impossible
When our God speaks
The mountains roar
The whole earth trembles with the throne
Though this life can be
His glorious break enlights the sun
When our hope is lost
When our strength is gone
He is rising up
We will overcome
The impossible, the impossible
Everything is possible
With him everything is possible, is possible
Everything is possible
Everything is possible
Precious God you bring life from death
With your word all of time began
Is possible, the impossible
Everything is possible
Watch our God do the impossible
When our hope is lost
When our strength is gone
He is rising up
We will overcome
********************************
Come To The Table
We all start on the outside
The outside looking in
This is where grace begins
We were hungry, we were thirsty
With nothing left to give
Oh the shape that we were in
Just when all hope seemed lost
Love opened the door for us
He said come to the table
Come join the sinners who have been redeemed
Take your place beside the Savior
Sit down and be set free
Come to the table
Come meet this mightly crew of misfits
These liars and these thiefs
There's no one unwelcome here
So that sin and shame that you brought with you
You can leave it at the door
Let mercy draw you near
Come to the table
Come join the sinners who have been redeemed
Take your place beside the Savior
Sit down and be set free
Come to the table
Come to the table
To the thief and to the doubter
To the hero and the coward
To the prisoner and the soldier
To the young and to the older
All who hunger, all who thirst
All the last and all the first
All the poppers and the princess
All who fail you've been forgiven
All who dream and all who suffer
All who loved and lost another
All the chained and all the free
All who follow, all who lead
Anyone who's been let down
All the lost you have been found
All who have been labeled right or wrong
To everyone who hears this song
Ooh
Come to the table
Come join the sinners you have been redeemed
Take your place beside the Savior
Sit down and be set free
Oooh
Sit down and be set free
Come to the table
Come to the table
Just sit down and rest a while
Just sit down and rest a while
Come to the table

Closer
(feat. Tamela Mann)
I've been tired and weary
heading back home
Never thought it'd be so hard
walking the narrow road
Through all the toils and trials
Lord You never left me
So I'm finally closer, closer
to where I wanna be
A man's got a worth
but the problem has been
I spent my whole life working
instead of taking Your hand
Lord won't You burn away
all that keeps You from me
I want You here closer, closer than anything
So take me to the center of the fire
take me to the middle of the sea
Take me through the darkest of nights
You can be the lamp to my feet
Walk me over mountains and valleys
'till I'm only hanging by Your prayer
If it brings me closer, closer
You can take me anywhere
What I know about fire
You use it to refine my heart
What I know about the ocean
when You tell it to part it parts
Even though the darkest of nights
it draws me to my knees
And it brings me closer, closer
when I hear You speak
So take me to the center of the fire
take me to the middle of the sea
Take me through the darkest of nights
You can be the lamp to my feet
Walk me over mountains and valleys
'till I'm only hanging by Your prayer
If it brings me closer, closer
You can take me anywhere
There once lived a man
who loved his enemies
The whole world mocked and laughed
'cause of what they couldn't see
He was ...
on the truth that sets us free
He said the poor shall be blessed
and that's what I wanna be
Take me to the center of the fire
take me to the middle of the sea
Take me through the darkest of nights
You can be the lamp to my feet
Walk me over mountains and valleys
'till I'm only hanging by Your prayer
If it brings me closer, closer
You can take me anywhere
Blessed are the broken
Blessed are the weak
Blessed are the hungry and thirsty
Blessed are those that seek
Blessed are the lonely
for they will have a love to spare
Blessed are the poor in spirit
Lord Your kingdom is there
If it brings me closer, closer
take me anywhere
Wanna be closer
Gotta be closer
mmm
oooohhh
oooohhh
oooohhh
We want You closer Lord
We need You closer, closer Lord
We want You closer Lord
How we need You closer, closer Lord
We want You closer
We need You closer
Bring us closer, closer Lord
We want you closer
We need You closer
Lord bring us closer, closer Lord
Bring us closer
Bring us closer
Bring us closer, closer than we'll ever be
Bring us here closer, closer, closer
We need You, Lord we need You
Yeah we need You hear closer, closer
We want You hear closer, closer
Bring us closer, closer
Bring us closer, Lord
Bring us closer
Bring us closer
Closer, closer, closer, closer
Beyond the fear that follows near
Till thorn through darkness that appears
Like sun and moon and sands of time
Something different starts to shine
A flash of faith within the soul
Like little hands it digs a hole
not to bury but to bring new life, new breath, new song to sing
Fast to find it forever know
to glimps to grasp to change and grow
This moment does not linger long
before tomorrow breaks the dawn
The gold will fade and ambers die
Something different will arise

Ain't Nobody (Till You're Loved)
"I was just a young boy" my Father said to me,
"There are three things in this life that you should be:
Be respectful, be grateful, and above all else
Be the love, just be the love"
'Cause you ain't nobody
Till you love somebody
So go on, go out
And give your heart away
'Cause you ain't nobody
Until you're love
Just remember
You're always, always love
Walkin' down a sidewalk, I heard a prophet say
That money is the opposite of love
The more love that you give away
The richer you become
So gather up your love
And spend it all
'Cause you ain't nobody
Till you love somebody
So go on, go out
And give your heart away
'Cause you ain't nobody
Until you're love
Just remember
You're always, always love
Yes, you are
Ha
Du-du-du-du-du-du-du
Whoo-oo-oo
You're always, always, always love
Oh, yeah
Du-du-du-du-du-du-du
Whoo-hoo-hoo
You're always, always, always love
I've climbed up on a mountaintop
Sat beside the sea
No matter where I climb I set my sails
I realize under starry skies
From my head down to my toes
I'm covered by Your love that never fails
'Cause you ain't nobody
Till you love somebody
So go on, go out
Give your heart away
'Cause you ain't nobody
Until you're love
Just remember
You're always, always love
Love is patient, love is kind
It is always by your side
Just remember
You're always, always love
One, two, three
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo

Sisters & Brothers
Sun up, gonna work like a little tin soldier
Marchin' to your own beat, the world on your shoulders
We all struggle and we're not alone
You try and you try, but you never have to do it on your own, no
And I believe, yes I believe
We're all a part of a family
And nothing in this world could come between
'Cause we are, we are, we are
We are, we are, we are
Sisters and brothers
Needin' each other
Father, help us see
That we are, we are, we are
Together with one heart
Sisters and brothers
Needin' each other
We are
So what, who cares?
We're all a bit different
Shout it out, celebrate
What we've been given
The world can tell us that we don't belong, but
Sing together, it's a beautiful, beautiful song
And I believe, yes I believe
We're all a part of a family
And nothing in this world could come between
'Cause we are, we are, we are
We are, we are, we are
Sisters and brothers
Needin' each other
Father, help us see
That we are, we are, we are
Together with one heart
Sisters and brothers
Needin' each other
We are
Because of His love, we'll never live alone
Because of His love, our lives will overflow
Beautifully broken, we are the redeemed
Made to share the love of the coming King
We are, we are, we are
We are, we are, we are
Sisters and brothers
Needin' each other
We are, we are, we are
(We are, we are, we are)
Together with one heart
(Together with one heart)
Sisters and brothers
Needin' each other
We are
We are
