Ginny Owens - If You Want Me To


The pathway is broken
And the signs are unclear
And I don't know the reason
Why You brought me here
But just because You love me
The way that You do
I'm gonna walk through the valley
If You want me to

'Cause I'm not who I was
When I took my first step
And I'm clinging to the promise
You're not through with me yet
So if all of these trials
Bring me closer to You
Then I will go through the fire
If You want me to

It may not be the way
I would have chosen
When You lead me through a world
That's not my home
But You never said it would be easy
You only said I'll never go alone

So when the whole world turns against me
And I'm all by myself
And I can't hear You answer my cries for help
I'll remember the sufferin' Your love put You through
And I will go through the valley
If You want me to

[...extended...]

'Cause when I cross over Jordan,
I'm gonna sing, gonna shout
Gonna look into your eyes
And see You never let me down
So take me on the pathway
That leads me home to You
And I will walk through the valley
If You want me to

Yes, I will walk through the valley
If You want me to

Third Day - Call My Name



It’s been so long
Since you felt like you were loved
So what went wrong
But do you know
There’s a place where you belong
Here in my arms

When you feel like you’re alone in your sadness
And it seems like no one in this whole world cares
And you want to get away from the madness
You just call my name and I’ll be there
You just call my name and I’ll be there

The pain inside
Has erased your hope for love
But soon you will find
That I’ll give you all
That your heart could ever want
And so much more

You just call my name
You just call my name

Call my name, say it now
I want you to never doubt
The love I have for you is so alive

Call my name, say it now
I want you to never doubt
The love I have for you is so alive

You just call my name
You just call my name
You just call my name now

The love I have for you is so alive
The love I have for you is so alive
You just call my name
You just call my name
You just call my name

NewSong - Thousand Steps


With one eye open I saw her slowing start to stand
Her trembling hands wiped her tears away
She looked so tired and broken
She never lifts her head, she softly says,
I can't make it through another day

I'm as far away from God as I can be
Is there any way that He still loves me
Can He still love me

If there were a thousand steps between you and God
And you could see no way across the great divide
Just take one step towards His loving arms
And He'll take nine hundred and ninety-nine

He slips into the back door and he straightens up his tie
His bloodshot eyes tell of the night before
He comes here every Sunday, but his life is never changed
He's played the game but he knows there's something more

I'm so close but still so far away
I can't live like this another day
Not another day

If there were a thousand steps between you and God
And you could see no way across the great divide
Just take one step towards His loving arms
And He'll take nine hundred and ninety-nine

Maybe you think that there's a place you can go and He won't be there
He won't even care
Didn't you know that there is no depth or height to keep us from
His amazing love

If there were a thousand steps between you and God
And you could see no way across the great divide
Just take one step towards His loving arms
And He'll take nine hundred and ninety-nine
He'll take nine hundred and ninety-nine
Nine hundred and ninety-nine

Take one step
