The Gathering Lyrics

Sing Wherever I Go

All my life, all I know
God’s been good, good to my soul
Mountain high, valley low
I’m gonna sing wherever I go

Said all my life, all I know
God’s been good, good to my soul
Mountain high, valley low
I’m gonna sing wherever I go

God is for me, He’s not against me
I will hold to the plans He has for me
When I’m broken, He will fix me
I will call on the name of the Lord

Said all my life, all I know
God’s been good, good to my soul
Mountain high, valley low
I’m gonna sing wherever I go

He’s my heart song in my sorrow
He’s my hope and my strength for tomorrow
And when the storms rise all around me
I will call on the name of the Lord (here we go)

All my life, all I know
God’s been good, good to my soul
Mountain high, valley low
I’m gonna sing wherever I go

Said all my life, all I know
God’s been good, good to my soul
Mountain high, valley low
I’m gonna sing wherever I go

I got joy, joy, joy
Deep in my soul
I will sing, sing, sing
Wherever I go

All my life, all I know
God’s been good, good to my soul
Mountain high, valley low
I’m gonna sing wherever I go

Come As You Are

Come out of sadness
From wherever you’ve been
Come broken hearted
Let rescue begin
Come find your mercy
Oh sinner come kneel
Earth has no sorrow
That heaven can’t heal
Earth has no sorrow
That heaven can’t heal

So lay down your burdens
Lay down your shame
All who are broken
Lift up your face
Oh wanderer come home
You’re not too far
So lay down your hurt
Lay down your heart
Come as you are

There’s hope for the hopeless
And all those who’ve strayed
Come sit at the table
Come taste the grace
There’s rest for the weary
Rest that endures
Earth has no sorrow
That heaven can’t cure

So lay down your burdens
Lay down your shame
All who are broken
Lift up your face
Oh wanderer come home
You’re not too far
Lay down your hurt lay down your heart
Come as you are
Come as you are
Fall in his arms
Come as you are
There’s joy for the morning
Oh sinner be still
Earth has no sorrow
That heaven can’t heal
Earth has no sorrow
That heaven can’t heal

So lay down your burdens
Lay down your shame
All who are broken
Lift up your face
Oh wanderer come home
You’re not too far
So lay down your hurt
Lay down your heart
Come as you are
Come as you are
Come as you are
Come as you are

Your Lord and King adore;

Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
rejoice; again I say, rejoice.

the God of truth and love;
when he had purged our stains,
he took his seat above.
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice;
