1. "You Found Me"
(Michael Weaver / Jay Weaver / Dave Oillette)
Have you ever had a dynamic encounter with the Living God? I saw a flash of light, and I heard the sound of a voice like thunder shake the ground! When I
first met God, it didn’t look anything like that. But when I relive that moment in my spirit I realize that was truly what it felt like and did to the inside of me. It
wasn’t about me “finding” God, as if He hadn’t been there all along. It was a whole lot more like simply waking up; like He’d reached down into the room and
made Himself known.
I saw three AM come and go again
Another sleepless night, thanks to living my own way
All my great ideas, I've regretted most of them
But that was back long before the day
Chorus:
When I saw a flash of light and I heard the sound
Of a voice like thunder shake the ground
It was the first time I remember ever feeling my heartbeat
And the arms that gripped me felt like grace
And I realized in their embrace
To be held so tight
I've never felt so free
Also know as the day that You found me
My whole life has changed ever since the day You came
The way I see, the things I want, it's everything
Some may call it strange, I don't care what people say
I knew You were the only way
Chorus
I've never known a love like this
You've captured my heart and You brought the sweetest
Peace to my life, brought me into the light
Now I'm all Yours, Jesus, draw me into You
I don't think that I could ever be the same
Who would want to be anyway
Chorus

2. "What Life Would Be Like"
(Michael Weaver / Don Chaffer)
The chorus to this song was birthed whole in seconds. I couldn’t write it down fast enough! I was writing with my friend Don Chaffer, and he is the best I’ve
ever seen in stepping back from a song and really pulling the essence of that song out from your heart. This may be the most honest and transparent I’ve
ever been in the writing process. We often talk about grace and being set free from the law, but there seems to be an underlying message that we still have
to somehow measure up to God’s perfection. The reality is we all fall down, but Grace says we don’t have to stay that way. We can open up our lives and let
the Holy Spirit live there. God’s not looking for folks who will just try a little harder to get it right next time. I hope the honesty of this song will resonate in the
hearts of those who hear it.
I wish I was more of a man
Have you ever felt that way
And if I had to tell you the truth
I'm afraid I'd have to say
That after all I've done and failed to do
I feel like less than I was meant to be
What if I could fix myself
Maybe then I could get free
I could try to be somebody else
Who's much better off than me
But I need to remember this
That it's when I'm at my weakest
I can clearly see
Chorus:
He made the lame walk and the dumb talk
He opened blinded eyes to see
That the sun rises on His time
Yet He knows our deepest desperate need
And the world waits while His heart aches
To realize the dream
I wonder what life would be like if we let Jesus life thru you and me
What if you could see yourself thru another pair of eyes
What if you could hear the truth
Instead of old familiar lies
What if you could feel inside
The power of the hand that made the universe you'd realize
Chorus
All our hearts they burn within us
All our lives we've longed for more
So let us lay our lives before the one who gave His life for us

3. "We Want The World To Hear"
(Chris Kuti)
This was a congregational worship song that was written by my friend Chris Kuti. The song points out how awesome and uniquely holy the Lord is. When you
experience those attributes of God you can’t help but be blown away. You can’t wait for everyone else to know Him. I can’t wait to take this song out on the
road with us.
Eternal King, we bless Your Name
For You were and You are, forever You will be
Praised in this place
And Lord our hearts are yielded
We give them only to You God
Chorus:
There is none righteous
There is none worthy
There is none Holy but You the King
I will live my life to sing of Your wonder
To shout of Your glory so creation will hear God
We want the world to hear
Oh sovereign King this heart is free
From the death that I was born into
You put Your Grace out on display
And in response I can help sing Your praise God
Chorus
Hallelujah we sing
Hallelujah we cry
Hallelujah we're living for Your Name, Jesus
Hallelujah we sing
Hallelujah we cry
Hallelujah we're living for You
Chorus

4. "Revive Us Again"
(Arranged by Michael Weaver)
Every generation requires a fresh expression of worship, and the contemporary church is appropriately embracing modern worship music at an
unprecedented rate. While we love modern worship I think it’s important not to forget where we came from. It’s easy to get caught up in the raw emotion of
worship and lose our focus. I think it is imperative that we tie our passion for God to the Word of God. That’s the only way our worship will ever truly mean
anything. Many of the traditional hymns of the Church are not only rich in theology, but tie us to our spiritual heritage.
We praise You oh God for the Son of Your love
For Jesus who died and is now gone above
We praise You oh God for Your Spirit of Light
Who has shown us our Savior and scattered our night
Chorus:
Hallelujah Thine the glory
Hallelujah, Amen
Hallelujah Thine the glory
Revive us again
All glory and praise to the Lamb that was slain
Who has born all our sin and has cleansed ever stain
Revive us again, fill our hearts with Your love
And may our souls be rekindled with fire from above
Chorus
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Amen

5. "Blue Skies"
(Mike Weaver / Jay Weaver / Andy Cloninger)
The second verse of this song contains some of my favorite lyrics on this record. I’m not trying to say that the Christian life will never be difficult. But I am
saying that blue skies on the inside come even in the lion’s dens and fiery furnaces when we find Emmanuel, God with us!
Yesterday's forecast called for rain and I
Found all my so-called friends to be fair weather kind
Looking for shelter I was standing out in my pain
That's when You came and You changed everything
'Cause April showers bring May flowers like
Only You turn my darkest hour into
Chorus:
Blue skies, blue skies
Not a cloud over head in my life
When it's grey out I don't mind
Cause I've got blue skies
On the inside
Tossed about upon the stormy sea I swayed
Scared to death not at the wind but what I heard You say
It's not every time Your hand the wind will stay
Sometimes You're calling me to walk out on the waves
My perception should be a reflection not of what my eyes see but what Jesus tells me
Chorus
I'm not sayin' I won't ever have a problem
Sometimes life's gonna rain on my parade
But if I know that You're right here with me then
Why should I worry, why should I be afraid
Outside when the rain is pourin' all around
I don't have to let it get me
Chorus

6. "Another Day In Paradise"
(Phil Collins)
I think it’s safe to say that most of us in the band are pretty big Phil Collins fans. Our growing belief in and involvement with World Vision over the past few
years made this song stick out in my mind. I asked my brother Jay if anyone had ever covered it. A few days after that conversation someone from World
Vision called the label and asked, ‘Do you think Big Daddy Weave would consider recording a version of Another Day in Paradise?’ Ooh… chill bumps.
She calls out to the man on the street
Sir, can you help me
Its cold and I've nowhere to sleep
Is there somewhere you can tell me
He walks on, doesn't look back
He pretends he cant hear her
Starts to whistle as he crosses the street
Seems embarrassed to be there
Chorus:
Oh think twice, its another day for
You and me in paradise
Oh think twice, its just another day for you,
You and me in paradise
Just think about it
She calls out to the man on the street
He can see she's been crying
She's got blisters on the soles of her feet
Cant walk, but she's trying
Chorus
Oh Lord, is there nothing more anybody can do
Oh Lord, there must be something you can say
You can tell from the lines on her face
You can see that she's been there
Probably been moved on from every place
Cause she didn't fit in there
Chorus
Think about it
Just think about it
Won't you, won't you please
It's another day, for you and me in paradise
It's just another day for you and me in paradise
It's another day for you and me in paradise
It's just another day for you and me in paradise
In paradise (x4)

7. "Right With You"
(Mike Weaver / Jay Weaver / Andy Gullahorn)
When my wife, Kandice, heard the first verse she said, “Steven Curtis Chapman can release an entire record of love songs for his wife, but the first time you
mention me in a song, it’s about us arguing?” What can I say? Sorry, babe.
This song is all about relationships when things aren’t quite right. You don’t always get to be right, but that’s okay. It’s not about who is right; it is about what
is right. What is paramount in marriage is being right with one another. Some of the musical ideas of this song came from time spent with my friend Andy
Gullahorn who, to this day, remains one of my songwriting heroes.
I was with her we were talking over dinner just the other night
When had quite the fight, me and my lovely wife
Arguing over position neither one of us would listen to the other side
A gross display of pride about who was wrong or right
But now it all seems silly
When we know what's important really
It's okay, it's alright if I don't get my way tonight
Just as long as I'm right with you
I was standing looking out across the canyon between You and I
A million miles too wide for me to reach the other side
In deep depression broken over my rejection I failed to realize
To my great surprise, You'd paved a way with Your own life
I accept the invitation
To become Your new creation
It's okay, it's alright if I don't get my way tonight
Just as long as I'm right with You
Either way we'll be fine if we leave this pride behind
Just as long as I'm right with You

8. "Falling Into You"
(Michael Weaver / Jeff Jones)
It can be scary to get to the place of letting Jesus live through us because His Word says that means we’ve got to lose our own lives. But scary or not we
have to come to the point where we can give up and let Him have His way. Letting go that way can feel like jumping off a cliff into the unknown, but
knowing in our hearts that He is there to catch us. If there is such a thing as a traditional Big Daddy Weave song, this is it.
You say, "Don't worry"
I say, "I'll try not to,
But it seems like I'm just pre- disposed"
You say "Just trust me"
I say, "I'd love to but
I keep having trouble letting go"
What I've got might not seem like much
But I'm scared of losing it all
I'm standing on the edge of so much more
And I'm about to take the fall
Chorus:
I'm falling into You
And all Your mysterious ways
Draw me into You
And Your unfailing grace
This is the end of me
My heart is willing but this flesh is weak
It's like I'm paralyzed by what I think I know
I'm waiting on You to come and rescue me
But it's up to me to let you have control
What I've got might not seem like much
But I'm scared of losing it all
I'm standing on the edge of so much more
And I'm about to take the fall
Chorus
This is where I end this is where You begin
This is where I end
I'm letting go of me
I'm trusting You to be all that I need
I'm letting go of me and falling into You
Chorus

9. "From Here"
(Michael Weaver / Mark Schultz)
Buff has been one of our biggest supporters, encouragers, and friends since the beginning of Big Daddy Weave. Buff’s mom died a few years ago. She was
an amazing woman. When Buff got engaged to be married he asked if I’d be willing to write a special song for his wedding that would act as a
remembrance for his mom. I had never written anything like this before. Fortunately, we were on tour with Mark Shultz, who is the master of these types of
songs. He was an amazing teacher and his help on this song has given me even greater respect for the amazing songs he writes.
My child, I've hoped and I've prayed for this very day
Since you were just a little one
And oh how my heart swells with pride
As I watch the man that you've become
But this life offers no guarantees
And though my time on this earth had to end
I'm sure that your heart would know peace
If you could just see where I am
Chorus:
From here, the race has been run and love's already won
I see clearly the end and the start
From here, I'm cheering you on
So live out each breath with all that you've got
And know until I hold you close
I'll be holding you dear in my heart
From here
I've seen your tears as you've waited alone
Longing for that special one
And now all the waiting is done
As you gaze into her eyes
Seeing the reflection of love
Life's road may seem rough up ahead
And for now you see only in part
So hold onto each other and know
That there is an end to the dark
Chorus
Heaven is calling and my heart keeps longing
Looking so forward to the day
When we'll be together forever in eternity
Just you wait and see

10. "Just Like Somebody Else"
(Michael Weaver)
If we are children of God and covered by the blood of Jesus, then when God looks at us He sees the perfection of the sacrifice of Jesus. When He sees us we
look just like Jesus. For those of us stuck in the same-old same-old, one of the biggest obstacles preventing us from stepping into the new life that Christ
offers is keeping our eyes on our failures of the past. Our challenge is to realize that who we are in Him isn’t the same as who we are in the natural. We are
the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. We can now live lives in the natural that reflect the work that Christ has already accomplished in the Spirit.
Hiding out in this cave for better than forty days
Don't know how much more 'cause it's been just that long
Seasons came and they've gone but still I remain
So sick of singing the same sad song
When the foundation's already been laid
Now all that's left for me to do is to choose to embrace following You
Chorus:
Stepping out from the old into the new
I'll be following right here behind You
You set me free to be myself but
The me in Your heart looks
Just like somebody else
Wasted years of my life worried over how
I could ever meet such expectations
But none of my former fears seem to matter now
That who I am is found within Your Son
My identity has been replaced
Bought with Your blood
I am completely covered by Your grace
To walk by faith
Chorus
Stepping out from the old into the new
I'll be following right here inside You
Who I was just don't mean much
When the me in Your heart looks just like Jesus
I don't want anything from this life that You don't want for me
I don't want anything from this life that You don't want for me
I don't want anything from this life that You don't want for me
So won't you come and make me into just who You want me to be

From the death that I was born into
You put Your Grace out on display
And in response I can help sing Your praise God

Hallelujah we sing

9. "From Here"
(Michael Weaver / Mark Schultz)
Buff has been one of our biggest supporters, encouragers, and friends since the beginning of Big Daddy Weave. Buff’s mom died a few years ago. She was
an amazing woman. When Buff got engaged to be married he asked if I’d be willing to write a special song for his wedding that would act as a
remembrance for his mom. I had never written anything like this before. Fortunately, we were on tour with Mark Shultz, who is the master of these types of
songs. He was an amazing teacher and his help on this song has given me even greater respect for the amazing songs he writes.
My child, I've hoped and I've prayed for this very day
Since you were just a little one
And oh how my heart swells with pride
As I watch the man that you've become
But this life offers no guarantees
And though my time on this earth had to end
I'm sure that your heart would know peace
If you could just see where I am
Chorus:
From here, the race has been run and love's already won
I see clearly the end and the start
From here, I'm cheering you on
So live out each breath with all that you've got
And know until I hold you close
I'll be holding you dear in my heart
From here
I've seen your tears as you've waited alone
Longing for that special one
And now all the waiting is done
As you gaze into her eyes
Seeing the reflection of love
Life's road may seem rough up ahead
And for now you see only in part
So hold onto each other and know
That there is an end to the dark
Chorus
Heaven is calling and my heart keeps longing
Looking so forward to the day
When we'll be together forever in eternity
Just you wait and see

10. "Just Like Somebody Else"
(Michael Weaver)
If we are children of God and covered by the blood of Jesus, then when God looks at us He sees the perfection of the sacrifice of Jesus. When He sees us we
look just like Jesus. For those of us stuck in the same-old same-old, one of the biggest obstacles preventing us from stepping into the new life that Christ
offers is keeping our eyes on our failures of the past. Our challenge is to realize that who we are in Him isn’t the same as who we are in the natural. We are
the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. We can now live lives in the natural that reflect the work that Christ has already accomplished in the Spirit.
Hiding out in this cave for better than forty days
Don't know how much more 'cause it's been just that long
Seasons came and they've gone but still I remain
So sick of singing the same sad song
When the foundation's already been laid
Now all that's left for me to do is to choose to embrace following You
Chorus:
Stepping out from the old into the new
I'll be following right here behind You
You set me free to be myself but
The me in Your heart looks
Just like somebody else
Wasted years of my life worried over how
I could ever meet such expectations
But none of my former fears seem to matter now
That who I am is found within Your Son
My identity has been replaced
Bought with Your blood
I am completely covered by Your grace
To walk by faith
Chorus
Stepping out from the old into the new
I'll be following right here inside You
Who I was just don't mean much
When the me in Your heart looks just like Jesus
I don't want anything from this life that You don't want for me
I don't want anything from this life that You don't want for me
I don't want anything from this life that You don't want for me
So won't you come and make me into just who You want me to be
