ALBUM LYRICS & CREDITS

EVERY STEP OF THE WAY

Written by Cade Thompson, Benji Cowart, and Micah Kuiper / Produced by Bryan Fowler and Micah Kuiper / Mix Engineered by Bryan Fowler

If I could talk to myself eight years ago
Seeing what I've seen knowing what I know
I would tell that quiet kid
There'll be days ahead
When it doesn't make sense

I would tell him he can trust Your hand
'Cause now I gotta picture of the greater plan
I can see with perfect clarity
It wasn't tragedy
It was what I needed

I couldn't see it then
But now I understand

Every step of the way
You've been You'll be
Working everything for the best for me
So I'll trust in who You are
Every step of the way
You've been You'll be
Fighting and writing Your love in my story
You've held my heart
Every step of the way
Every step of the way

Looking back on my life again
I never thought that I'd be standing in the place I'm in
Took a little faith to see
Gotta chase the dream
That You placed in me

Never thought I would be praying the prayers I prayed
Never thought I would be saying the things I say
But You've been with me

Even in the upside down
Even when it all feels turned around
I know You've got me
Every step of the way

Every step of the way
Every step of the way

SOURCE OF LIFE

Written by Cade Thompson, Ethan Hulse, and Micah Kuiper / Produced by Bryan Fowler and Micah Kuiper / Mix Engineered by Bryan Fowler

Like a wave on the ocean
Going through the motions
I’ve been moving endlessly
Sick of all the striving
Tired of living like a
Song without a melody

Exhausted every single breath
I give till I’ve got nothing left
But in this broken vessel

You fill my lungs when they’re empty
Overflow when my souls running dry
The river of Your grace leads
Back to the source
Back to the source of life
When you speak through the chaos
And tell me that I will be alright
In Your kindness You bring me
Back to the source
You are the source of life

I find the peace of the Father
By the quiet waters
I can hardly understand
As I fall apart You’re
Rebuilding my heart
Much better than I could’ve planned

You are my every single breath
I’ll praise till I’ve got nothing left
Cause with this broken vessel

You fill my lungs when they’re empty
Overflow when my souls running dry
The river of Your grace leads
Back to the source
Back to the source of life

When you speak through the chaos
And tell me that I will be alright
In Your kindness You bring me
Back to the source
You are the source of life

You are where I begin
Where my striving can end
And I know who I am
Cause I know who You are

Forever I’m finding
You are my source
You are my source of life

NEW BEGINNINGS

Written by Jess Cates, Micah Kuiper, and Cade Thompson / Produced by Bryan Fowler and Micah Kuiper / Mix Engineered by Bryan Fowler

Have you ever not got it right
Miss the mark about every time
Welcome to life and what it means to be human
Do you ever just have those days
Where you wanna be is miles away
You stop and think what on earth am I doing

Feel like you should be standing in the back of the line
And you don’t deserve another second chance in life
Well I know
Our God is the God of hope

He’s all about
New beginnings
All about new beginnings
Wherever you are
You’re never too far
For a fresh start
Brother lay down your worries
Sister don’t be discouraged
Wherever you are
Never lose heart
Cause He’s all about new beginnings

Not a door He can’t open up
Not a problem that’s big enough
Yeah that’s what He’s like
Makin’ new life out of ruins
Take your first deep breath of grace
And feel the freedom
He’s got so much planned for you
Just keep believin’

When you feel you should be standing in the back of the line
And you don’t deserve another second chance in life
Look up my friend
There is always hope

ANYTHING YET

Written by Micah Kuiper, Cade Thompson, and Krissy Nordhoff / Produced by Bryan Fowler and Micah Kuiper / Mix Engineered by Bryan Fowler

What if there’s more to this life
Then your eyes can fully see
What if your prayers reach farther
Then your heart knows to believe
And What if, the plan He has, is far beyond what you could dream
I promise you there’s much more to come
And this is just the beginning

You haven’t seen anything yet
Anything yet
Anything yet
You haven’t seen anything yet
Anything yet
Anything yet
I believe every word he said
Greater things are still ahead
You haven’t seen anything yet
Anything yet
Anything yet

We haven’t even scratched the surface
Of all the ways that he can move
And we have only seen a glimpse of
What’s in store for me
And you
So cling to hope
When life is tough
Cuz there is a purpose for everything
I promise you there’s much more to come
And this is just the beginning

We have just begun to taste
The glory the glory
He has just begun to tell
The story the story
We have just begun to taste
The glory the glory
He has just begun to tell
The story the story

You haven’t seen anything yet
You haven’t seen anything yet
You haven’t seen anything yet
Anything yet
Anything yet
You haven’t seen anything yet
Anything yet
Anything yet
I believe every word he said
Greater things are still ahead
You haven’t seen anything yet
Anything yet
Anything yet

EYES OF GOD

Written by Jeff Pardo, Matt Armstrong, and Cade Thompson / Produced by Bryan Fowler and Micah Kuiper / Mix Engineered by Bryan Fowler

The eyes of God saw a future
When I saw ashes on the ground
The eyes of God saw goodness
When no good in me was found
The eyes of God saw beauty
When all I had were scars
And now I can see he was leading me
Through the valley to his heart

No climb’s too steep
No grave’s too deep
There is no one too far gone
Through highs and lows
There is always hope
When you look through the eyes of God
When you look through the eyes of God

If you’re staring at a problem
That you’ve got no strength to solve
Remember our God reigns above all things
And makes those giants fall

No climb’s too steep
No grave’s too deep
There is no one too far gone
Through highs and lows
There is always hope
When you look through the eyes of God
When you look through the eyes of God

From the wound comes the healing
From the fall comes the grace
We know nothing is wasted
God is with us always

No climb’s too steep
No grave’s too deep
There is no one too far gone
Through highs and lows
There is always hope
When you look through the eyes of God
No climb’s too steep
No grave’s too deep
There is no one too far gone
Through highs and lows
There is always hope
When you look through the eyes of God
When you look through the eyes of God
When you look through the eyes of God

NEVER TOO LATE

Written by Benji Cowart, Ethan Hulse, Matt Armstrong, Cade Thompson, and Bryan Fowler / Produced by Matt Armstrong and Bryan Fowler / Mix Engineered by Bryan Fowler

Looking in the mirror all I see are the pieces of the mess that I’ve made
Harder and harder to believe I’m any better than I was yesterday
I’ve been living like I’m my own worst enemy
But You say I can start again forgiven and free

Cause it’s never too late
Never too late
Never too late for grace
Oh no matter how far
No matter how hard I think it’s gonna lead to change
I can see that Your love’s been chasing me down
From the moment that I ran away
Cuz it’s never too late
Never too late
No it’s never too late for grace

Thought that I had come to the end
But You were showing me a brand new start
Healin’ all of my brokenness
Now You have given me a brand new heart
I am finally living cuz You’re living in me
You say I can start again forgiven and free

Nothing I could ever do to earn it
Nothing I could give You to deserve it
That’s why it’s called grace

Nothing I could ever do to earn it
Nothing I could give You to deserve it
And that’s why You say

Cause it’s never too late
Never too late
Never too late for grace
Oh no matter how far
No matter how hard I think it’s gonna lead to change
I can see that Your love’s been chasing me down

From the moment that I ran away
Cuz it’s never too late
Never too late
No it’s never too late for grace

VOICES

Written by Cade Thompson, AJ Pruis, Matthew West, and Matt Armstrong / Produced by AJ Pruis / Mix Engineered by Bryan Fowler

I can't stop looking at my phone
It's always on
My never-measure-up reminder
Somebody else has what I don't
I don't belong
My insecurity definer

Oh you're friends are hanging and they didn't call you
Oh somebody's got a better life than you do

Can't stop looking at my phone
Looking at my phone it's always on

I got all these voices
Stuck inside my head
Stuck inside my head so loud
I got all these choices
Let the lies win
Or listen to your truth right now
You say I'm enough
Deeply and endlessly loved
Yeah I got all these voices
But Your voice is
The only one I wanna hear

Yeah yeah you are the only one I wanna hear
Yeah yeah

When they push me to the edge
You pull me from the ledge
And tell me Who I am is Who you made me
But then I'm right back where was
Thinking I don't measure up
I swear sometimes I think I'm going crazy

Oh You're friends are hanging and they didn't call you
Oh Somebody's got a better life than you do

When they push me to the edge
You pull me from the ledge
You pull me from the ledge

You say I'm enough
Deeply and endlessly loved
You say I'm enough
Deeply and endlessly loved
You say I'm enough
Deeply and endlessly loved

I got all these voices
But Your voice is
The only one I wanna hear

BIGGER STORY

Written by Ross King, Jeff Owen, and Cade Thompson / Produced by Bryan Fowler and Micah Kuiper / Mix Engineered by Bryan Fowler

When I look into your eyes I can tell that we are
Feeling the same hurts hiding the same scars
We’ve both got our reasons
For giving up

What could I say that would ever convince you
That every moment all you’ve been through
Is somehow being written
By a God of love

There’s a bigger story
With a better hero
It’s got a greater ending
It’s something only He knows
And the best news
Is you don’t have to
Always be stronger
Than whatever comes at you
You’re in a bigger story
You’ve got a better hero

When you look at your mistakes and it’s got you askin’
Why does God just let it happen
You’d rather be the author
Of your own life
But can’t you see how much you matter
See His love in every page and chapter
If only you could realize

It’s not over
It’s not over
The best is yet to come
It’s not over
It’s not over
Yeah just keep holding on

PROVIDER

Written by Ross King, Carter Frodge, Bryan Fowler, and Cade Thompson / Produced by Bryan Fowler / Mix Engineered by Bryan Fowler

I can't remember
The last time I was content
And now I wonder
How do I get there again

Why am I clutching and grabbing at all the things that I don't have?
When You've given me everything
Why am I stuck in my feelings thinking I know what I deserve?
When the answer is clear to me

'Cause what you give me Lord is more than I desire
You're my Provider
When I lose my way, You lead me through the fire
You're my Provider
Even on my darkest day You show me where the light is
You're my Provider
And when my strength is gone, I know where to find it
You're my Provider, my Provider

I'm not forgotten
I am a child, beloved
What you have given
Has always been enough

Why am I clutching and grabbing at all the things that I don't have?
When You've given me everything
Why am I stuck in my feelings thinking I know what I deserve?
When the answer is clear to me

'Cause what you give me Lord is more than I desire
You're my Provider
When I lose my way You lead me through the fire
You're my Provider
Even on my darkest day, You show me where the light is
You're my Provider
And when my strength is gone, I know where to find it
You're my provider
My Provider

You have always been
You will always be
Your faithful hand is holding onto me
You're my
(Provider)
God, You are my
(Provider)

‘Cause what you give me Lord is more than I desire
You're my Provider
And when I lose my way, You lead me through the fire
You're my Provider (You're my Provider)
Even on my darkest day, You show me where the light is
You're my Provider
And when my strength is gone, I know where to find it
You're my Provider
My Provider

You are, you are
You're my Provider
You are, you are (Provider)
You're my Provider (my Provider)
You are, you are
You are my Provider
Provider
My Provider

NEW NORMAL

Written by Cade Thompson, Christian Hale, Matthew West, Matt Armstrong / Produced by Matt Armstrong and Christian Hale / Mix Engineered by Bryan Fowler

Walking through these high school halls afraid
Locks on the doors but I don't feel safe
Too many guns in the hands of hate
It's the new normal
We're supposed to be young and innocent
But it feels like those days just came and went
World's looking darker than it's ever been
It's the new normal

We're too young for all this hurting
Give us peace, give us peace
We can't carry all this heavy
Give us strength, give us strength
We're so tired of all the anger
Give us love, give us love
We want a new normal
We want a new normal

You're not a stranger to our pain
You see every tear on every face
One day they'll all be wiped away
In a new normal
We're not alone in the in-between
Be our hope when hope is unseen
Give us a glimpse of the greater dream
A new normal

In this world there will be trouble
But take heart, take heart
He has overcome the world
In this world there will be trouble
But take heart, take heart
