Freedom

Mandisa Freedom歌詞
1.My Deliverer

I was so helpless
Where did the light go
I had no hope left
Deep down in my soul
I was watchin'
I was waitin'
I was prayin'
I was stayin' down on my knees
That's right where You found me

My Deliverer, You rescued me from all that held me captive
My Deliverer, You set me free
Now I'm alive and I can live
So every moment I will give you praise
My Deliverer
Ooh my Deliverer

There's no pretending
I can't do it myself
I'm so dependent
Lord I need Your help
I'll be watchin'
I'll be waitin'
I'll be prayin'
I'll be stayin' down on my knees
That's right where You'll find me

My Deliverer, You rescued me from all that held me captive
My Deliverer, You set me free
Now I'm alive and I can live
And every moment I will give you praise

La la la la la I need You
You know whatever I'm goin' through
I'll be watchin'
I'll be waitin'
I'll be prayin'
I'll be stayin' down on my knees
That's right where You'll find me

My Deliverer, You rescued me from all that held me captive
My Deliverer, You set me free
Now I can live
My Deliverer, I'm no longer captive
My Deliverer, You gave Your life that I might live
So every moment I will give you praise
Yeah my Deliverer
I'm gonna give You praise
My Deliverer


2.How Much

How much, how much
Do you really know how much, how much
Well, let me tell you how much, how much you are loved

These words go out to anyone
who's ever felt so unlovable
I'd just like to say to you
That lie is so not true
This message is for the broken down
They say you can't turn your life around
No matter what you do
Well, that lie is so not true

How much, how much
Do you really know how much, how much
Well, let me tell you how much, how much you are loved

Take the depths of the deepest ocean and go deeper
Take the top of the tallest tower and go higher
Take the best day that you've ever had
Try to imagine better than that
And it still don't come close
To how much you are loved

Don't worry about what you've done
God's love goes out to everyone
And here's the wonderful, beautiful truth
That includes me and you

So, let it find you where you are
Wrap its arms around your weary heart
And all the love you're longing for
You'll find all that love and more

How much, how much
How much, how much
Do you really know how much, how much

Take the depths of the deepest ocean and go deeper
Take the top of the tallest tower and go higher
Take the best day that you've ever had
Try to imagine better than that
And it still don't come close
To how much you are loved

Take the depths of the deepest ocean and go deeper
Take the top of the tallest tower and go higher
Take the best day that you've ever had
Try to imagine better than that
And it still don't come close
To how much you are loved

How much, how much
How much, how much
How much, how much
How much, how much
How much, how much
How much, how much


3.He Is With You

There's a time to live
And a time to die
There's a time to laugh
And a time to cry
There's a time for war
And a time for peace
There's a hand to hold
In the worst of these

He is with you when your faith is dead
And you can't even get out of bed
Or your husband doesn't kiss you anymore
He is with you when your baby's gone
And your house is still, and your heart's a stone
Cryin' God, what'd You do that for
He is with you

There's a time for yes
And a time for no
There's a time to be angry
And a time to let it go
There is a time to run
And a time to face it
There is love to see you
Through all of this

He is with you in the conference room
When the world is coming down on you
And your wife and kids don't know you anymore
He is with you in the ICU
When the doctors don't know what to do
And it scares you to the core
He is with you

We may weep for a time
But joy will come in the morning
The morning light

He is with you when your kids are grown
When there's too much space and you feel alone
And you're worried if you got it right or wrong
Yes He is with you when you've given up
On ever finding your true love
Someone who feels like home
He is with you

When nothing else is left
And you take your final breath
He is with you


4.The Definition Of Me (Feat. Blanca)

Everybody's got an opinion
Of what they want me to be
Everybody's got a condition
That I may never meet

So tired of looking in the mirror
It always says the same thing
I want to be about something different
Something more than the mirror can see

Like joy, peace
Alive in me
When it comes to my identity

I want the love
I want the light
I want the beauty
On the inside
I want the one that you can't see
To be the definition of me
More than the face
More than the girl
More than the voice
More than the world
I want the truth that I believe
To be the definition of me

Pretty is cool for a minute
But it always fades away
Trends are hot for a second
They'll be gone the very next day

So before you get lost in the moment
Let's get one thing clear
Only love will last forever
That's the reason that we're here

It's up to you 『cause everybody's looking
Who do you want them to see?

I want the love
I want the light
I want the beauty
On the inside
I want the one that you can't see
To be the definition of me
More than the face
More than the girl
More than the voice
More than the world
I want the truth that I believe
To be the definition of me

They say I'm cute with the boots
And the trendy attire
You kinda reminiscent of a younger Mariah
But do they see beyond what I got, what I rock
They'd be shocked if they knew it was my soul that was hot
Hot boys don't affect my own self respect (no!)
And neither do the magazines and vanity tests
Yo Disa make a list
Who's fly and what's next
Start it off with love, joy, peace, and end it with blessed
Muah!

I want the love
I want the light
I want the beauty
On the inside
I want the one that you can't see
To be the definition of me
More than the face
More than the girl
More than the voice
More than the world
I want the truth that I believe
To be the definition of me


5.Not Guilty

I stand accused
There's a list a mile long
Of all my sins
Of everything that I've done wrong
I'm so ashamed
There's nowhere left for me to hide
This is the day
I must answer for my life

My fate is in the Judge's hands
But then He turns to me and says

I know you
I love you
I gave My life to save you
Love paid the price for mercy
My verdict not guilty

How can it be?
I can't begin to comprehend
What kind of grace
Would take the place of all my sin?

I stand in awe
Now that I have been set free
And the tears well up as I look at that cross
『Cause it should have been me

My fate was in the nail scarred hands
He stretched them out for me and said

I know you
I love you
I gave My life to save you
Love paid the price for mercy
My verdict not guilty

I'm falling on my knees to thank You
With everything I am I'll praise You
So grateful for the words I heard You say

I know you
I love you
I gave My life to save you
I know you
I love you
I gave My life to save you
Love paid the price for mercy
My verdict not guilty


6.Leave It In The Valley

I got your message on the phone
so tell me what's going on?
You say your day started so great
and then it went so wrong
No one ever plans for the bad days,
do they, no
But I am here if you're needing a friend

Hey, don't give up tonight
I know you're going through the valley,
but you're gonna make it out alright
Hey, tell your troubles goodbye
Go on and leave it in the valley,
leave it in the valley tonight

So you think He don't know what He's doing
You think He ain't by your side
Well, God knows when you're broken
And He's loving you, He's holding you so, so tight

So let the rain fall He'll be standing there getting wet with
you
You might get cold but you won't be there alone

Hey, don't give up tonight
I know you're going through the valley,
but you're gonna make it out alright
Hey, tell your troubles goodbye
Go on and leave it in the valley,
leave it in the valley tonight

And when you're hanging by a thread hold on
You know the darkest part is right before the dawn
So when your fear has worn you out
Feels like the sky is on the ground
He ain't gonna let you down
He'll never let you down

Hey, don't give up tonight
I know you're going through the valley,
but you're gonna make it out alright
Hey, tell your troubles goodbye
Go on and leave it in the valley,
leave it in the valley tonight


7.Victorious

If You could send a burning bush to Moses
Lead Your people home through a parted sea
Give a boy the strength to defeat Goliath
I know You will always take care of me

With You on my side, I am victorious
With You on my side, I've got nothing to fear
So I can walk through this valley with confidence
Knowing You will deliver me

If You could raise the dead bones of Lazarus
If You could feed five-thousand
with a couple fish and a loaf of bread
And in the middle of a stormy night
You can walk on water
I know, I know, I know nothing's out of Your hands

With You on my side, I am victorious
With You on my side, I've got nothing to fear
So I can walk through this valley with confidence
Knowing You will deliver me

If You could pull me out of my sin
And give me new life within
And keep all Your promises
And Your Word is true then
I don't have to be afraid
I know this is the day You made
So no matter what comes my way

With You on my side, I am victorious
With You on my side, I've got nothing to fear
So I can walk through this valley with confidence
Knowing You will deliver me


8.Broken Hallelujah

With my love and my sadness
I come before You Lord
My heart's in a thousand pieces
Maybe even more

Yet I trust in this moment
You're with me somehow
And You've always been faithful
So Lord even now

When all that I can sing
Is a broken hallelujah
When my only offering
Is shattered praise
Still a song of adoration
Will rise up from these ruins
I will worship You and give You thanks
Even when my only praise
Is a broken hallelujah

Oh Father, You have given
Much more than I deserve
And I have felt Your hand of blessing
On me at every turn

How could I doubt Your goodness
Your wisdom, Your grace
So Lord hear my heart
In this painful place

When all that I can sing
Is a broken hallelujah
When my only offering
Is shattered praise
Still a song of adoration
Will rise up from these ruins
I will worship You and give You thanks
Even when my only praise
Is a broken hallelujah

Hallelujah
I lift my voice
Your Spirit moves
I raise my hands
I reach for You

When all that I can sing
Is a broken hallelujah
When my only offering
Is shattered praise
Still a song of adoration
Will rise up from these ruins
I will worship You and give You thanks
Even when my only praise
Is a broken hallelujah


9.Freedom Song

Praise to the Lord, our chains are gone
Can't help but sing our freedom song
Praise to the Lord, our chains are gone
Can't help but sing our freedom …

I am a child from a broken home
Where true love was torn apart
But then I met a Heavenly Father
Who made a home inside my heart

I am a man with the chains of addiction
Dragging me down for way too long
But I came face to face with redemption
And now those chains are gone

Can anybody hear me?
Does anybody know what I'm talking about?
When you've been delivered like that
You've got to shout it out
Lift your hands up in the air
Shout Hallelujah
Lift your hands up in the air
I have been set free
Lift your hands up in the air
Shout Hallelujah
Lift your hands up in the air
I have been set free

I am a sixteen year old daughter
Lost in the mirror, no self esteem
But God made me in His image
And that makes me a beauty queen

I am a wife and the mother of three
Trading my dreams for a busy life
Searching for my lost identity
And I'm happy to announce that I found it in Christ

Can anybody hear me?
Does anybody know what I'm talking about?
When you've been delivered like that
You've got to shout it out
Lift your hands up in the air
Shout Hallelujah
Lift your hands up in the air
I have been set free
Lift your hands up in the air
Shout Hallelujah
Lift your hands up in the air
I have been set free

Praise to the Lord, my chains are gone
Can't help but sing our freedom song
Praise to the Lord, my chains are gone
Can't help but sing our freedom song

Lift your hands up in the air
Shout Hallelujah
Lift your hands up in the air
I have been set free
Lift your hands up in the air
Shout Hallelujah
Lift your hands up in the air
I have been set free


10.Dance. Dance. Dance

Maybe you don't understand why I gotta dance
There was something had me down but it's over now
I'ma throw my hands up
Wave 『em all in the air
『Cause all I wanna do is dance, dance, dance

They told me you ain't good enough
Don't look good enough
Don't sing good enough
Maybe you should give it up
And if I would've then I never could've received
None of the things that He planned for me
So I waited a little longer
Grew a little stronger and then
I realized something was happening
It's so incredible, it's unexplainable
You oughta try Him for yourself and see because

Maybe you don't understand why I gotta dance
There was something had me down but it's over now
I'ma throw my hands up
Wave 『em all in the air
『Cause all I wanna do is dance, dance, dance

Sometimes I think about
How it used to be, and can't help but
Remembering how it was never easy for me, no, no
But the way God works, it's so amazing
He never forgot me, I can't forget Him
That's enough for me to lift my hands and
I'm sorry if you don't understand

Maybe you don't understand why I gotta dance
There was something had me down but it's over now
I'ma throw my hands up
Wave 『em all in the air
『Cause all I wanna do is dance, dance, dance
Maybe you don't understand why I gotta dance
There was something had me down but it's over now
I'ma throw my hands up
Wave 『em all in the air
『Cause all I wanna do is dance, dance, dance

All my tears (it's over now)
And all my pain (it's over now)
All my doubts (it's over now)
They went away (it's over now)
No more fear (it's over now)
And I'm glad (it's over now)
Yes, so glad
『Cause all I wanna do is dance

Maybe you don't understand why I gotta dance
There was something had me down but it's over now
I'ma throw my hands up
Wave 『em all in the air
『Cause all I wanna do is dance, dance, dance
Maybe you don't understand why I gotta dance
There was something had me down but it's over now
I'ma throw my hands up
Wave 『em all in the air
『Cause all I wanna do is dance, dance, dance
Maybe you don't understand why I gotta dance
Maybe you don't understand why I gotta dance


11.You Wouldn't Cry (Andrew's Song)

All you saw was pain
All you saw was rain
But you should see me now
Moments filled with tears
Lasted all those years
Disappeared somehow
You never said goodbye
On your knees you cry
You're still asking why, but

Blue has never been bluer
True has never been truer
Honey never tasted so sweet
There's a song in the breeze
A million voices in praise
A rose has never smelled redder
The sun has never been brighter
If I could find the right words to say
If you could look at my face
If you could just see this place
You wouldn't cry for me today

What you think you see
Isn't really me
I'm already home
You've got to lay it down
『Cause Jesus holds me now
And I am not alone
Your faith is wearing thin
But I am watching Him
And He's holding you too, and

Blue has never been bluer
True has never been truer
Honey never tasted so sweet
There's a song in the breeze
A million voices in praise
A rose has never smelled redder
The sun has never been brighter
If I could find the right words to say
If you could look at my face
If you could just see this place
You wouldn't cry for me today

What may seem like years will just be a moment
Oh, the day will come
when I'll show you where you're going
I can't wait to show you that

Blue has never been bluer
True has never been truer
Honey never tasted so sweet
There's a song in the breeze
A million voices in praise
A rose has never smelled redder
The sun has never been brighter
If I could find the right words to say
If you could look at my face
If you could just see this place
You wouldn't cry for me today
