8 Christian Folk Songs

1. Reedemed

Artist: Big Daddy Weave

Lyrics:

Seems like all I can see was the struggle

Haunted by ghosts that lived in my past

Bound up in shackles of all my failures

Wondering how long is this gonna last

Then You look at this prisoner and say to me son

Stop fighting a fight that's already been won

I am redeemed You set me free

So I'll shake off theses heavy chains

And wipe away every stain now I'm not who I used to be

I am redeemed

I'm redeemed

All my life I have been called unworthy

Named by the voice of my shame and regret

But when I hear You whisper child lift up your head

I remember oh God You're not done with me yet

I am redeemed You set me free

So I'll shake off theses heavy chains

And wipe away every stain now I'm not who I used to be

Because I don't have to be the old man inside of me

Cause his day is long dead and gone

Because I've got a new name a new life I'm not the same

And a hope that will carry me home

I am redeemed You set me free

So I'll shake off theses heavy chains

And wipe away every stain now I'm not who I used to be

I am redeemed You set me free

So I'll shake off theses heavy chains

And wipe away every stain now I'm not who I used to be

Oh God I'm not who I used to be

Jesus I'm not who I used to be

Cause I am redeemed

Thank God redeemed

2. Beautiful Things

Artist: Gungor

Lyrics:

All this pain

I wonder if I'll ever find my way

I wonder if my life could really change at all

All this earth

Could all that is lost ever be found

Could a garden come out from this ground at all

You make beautiful things

You make beautiful things out of the dust

You make beautiful things

You make beautiful things out of us

All around

Hope is springing up from this old ground

Out of chaos life is being found in You

You make beautiful things

You make beautiful things out of the dust

You make beautiful things

You make beautiful things out of us

Oh You make beautiful things

You make beautiful things out of the dust

You make beautiful things

You make beautiful things out of us

You make me new

You are making me new

You make me new

You are making me new

Making me new

You make beautiful things

You make beautiful things out of the dust

You make beautiful things

You make beautiful things out of us

Oh You make beautiful things

You make beautiful things out of the dust

You make beautiful things

You make beautiful things out of us

You make me new

You are making me new

You make me new

You are making me new

3. I Wish We'd All Been ready

Artist: Larry Norman

Lyrics:

Life was filled with guns and war

And all of us got trampled on the floor

I wish we’d all been ready

The children died the days grew cold

A piece of bread could buy a bag of gold

I wish we’d all been ready

There's no time to change your mind

The Son has come and you've been left behind

A man and wife asleep in bed

She hears a noise and turns her head, he's gone

I wish we’d all been ready

Two men walking up a hill

One disappears and ones left standing still

I wish we’d all been ready

The Father spoke the demons dived

How could you have been so blind?

There's no time to change your mind

The Son has come and you've been left behind

There's no time to change your mind

The Son has come and you've been left behind

I hope we’ll all be ready

You've been left behind

I hope we’ll all be ready

You've been left behind

I hope we’ll all be ready

You've been left behind

5. Wings Of An Eagle

Artist: Steve Bell

Lyrics:

As we hope in the Lord

We will gain our strength

We will run for miles

We will stand up straight

We will not grow weary

We will not grow faint

On the wings of an eagle we will rise

On the wings of an eagle we will rise

On the wings of an eagle we will rise

For our hope is found

In the power of God

On the wings of an eagle we will rise

On the wings of an eagle we will rise

For the Lord who is God

Takes His people home

Not to be afraid

As we journey the road

Hand in hand we’ll be walking

With the Lord our God

On the wings of an eagle we will rise

6. A Page Is Turned

Artist: Bebo Norman

Lyrics:

A page is turned by the wind to a boy in a curly grin

With a world to conquer at the age of ten

But as history unfolds and the storybook is told

He finds salvation but not at the hands of man

And the God of second chance

Picked him up and He let him dance

Through a world that is not kind

And all this time preparing him the One

To hold him up when he comes undone

Beneath the storm beneath the sun

And now a man here you stand

Your day has come

A page is turned in this world to reveal a little girl

With a heart that's bigger as it is unfurled

By the language in her soul that's teaching her to grow

With a careful cover of love that will not fail

And the God of second chance

Picked her up and He let her dance

Through a world that isn't kind

And all this time preparing her the One

To hold her up when she comes undone

Beneath the storm beneath the sun

And grown up tall here you are

Your day has come

Beneath the air of autumn she took him by his hand

And warm within the ardor she took his heart instead

And high upon the mountain he asked her for her hand

Just for her hand

A page is turned in this life he's making her his wife

And there is no secret to the source of this much life

When the grace that falls like rain is washing them again

Just a chance to somehow rise above this land

Where the God of second chance

Will pick them up and He'll let them dance

Through a world that is not kind

And all this time they're sharing with the One

That holds them up when they come undone

Beneath the storm beneath the sun

And once again here you stand

And once again here you stand

Your day has come

7. My One Safe Place

Artist: Andrew Peterson

Lyrics:

You are my oasis

The eye of the hurricane

One look at Your face is

All I need to remember my name

So I run away home

Yes I run away home to You

I was an orphan

Caught in a thunderstorm

You opened the door and welcomed me

Into Your arms

So I run away home

Yes I run away home to You

I believe in the love of the Father and

I believe in the power of grace

I believe that He brought us together and

You are my one safe place

You are a fortress

I am under siege

You are a light in the forest

I am a lost boy out in the trees

So I run away home

Yes I run away home to You

Don't be scared it's alright

It's a weight you were not meant to shoulder

But you bear so much light

And it's brighter each day we get older

And I know that you're broken too

But you are a sacrament God has spoken through

He's spoken through you

I am my beloved's

My beloved is mine

And the banner that hovers over us

Is older than time

So I run away home

Yes I run away home

I believe in the love of the Father and

I believe in the power of grace

I believe that He brought us together and

You are my one safe place

My one safe place

My one safe place

8. My Victory

Artist: Crowder

Lyrics:

You came for criminals

And every pharisee

You came for hypocrites

Even one like me

You carried sin and shame

The guilt of every man

The weight of all I’ve done

Nailed into Your hands

Oh Your love bled for me

Oh Your blood in crimson streams

Oh Your death is hell’s defeat

A cross meant to kill is my victory

Oh Your amazing grace

I’ve seen and tasted it

It’s running through my veins

I can’t escape its grip

In You my soul is safe

You cover everything

Oh Your love bled for me

Oh Your blood in crimson streams

Oh Your death is hell’s defeat

A cross meant to kill is my victory

Behold the Lamb of God

Who takes away our sin

Who takes away our sin

The Holy Lamb of God

Makes us alive again

Makes us alive again

Behold the lamb of God

Who takes away our sin

Who takes away our sin

The Holy Lamb of God

Makes us alive again

Makes us alive again

Oh Your love bled for me

Oh Your blood in crimson streams

Oh Your death is hell’s defeat

A cross meant to kill is my victory
