Natalie Grant - No Stranger Album Lyrics

Face to Face

My feet are tired from the runnin'
My strength is gone for overcomin'
My lips are silent, I don't know what to pray
So I'll wait, I'll wait for You

My eyes have seen Your hand deliver
My heart remembers You, my help and my defender
My well runs dry, but I've known the taste of rain
So I'll wait, I'll wait for You

Here I am, I'm reachin' out
I need You always, oh, I need You now
I'm comin' close so we can stay
Hand in hand until we stand face to face

I still believe in new beginnings
The battle rages, but I still believe You'll win it
The night will bend to the light that's breakin' through
So I'll wait, I'll wait for You

Here I am, I'm reachin' out
I need You always, oh, I need You now
(Oh, I need You now)
I'm comin' close so we can stay
Hand in hand until we stand face to face

Face to face, You are the light here
When bondage breaks and darkness dies
Face to face, You are the end of fear
Who You are brings Heaven here
Yeah (Who You are, who You are)
Oh, who You are brings Heaven here
Yeah

Here I am, I'm reachin' out
I need You always, oh, I need You now
My hope is found in Your embrace
Hand in hand until we stand face to face
Hand in hand until we stand face to face
Hand in hand till we stand face to face

My Weapon

Let every lie be silenced
And all depression cease
Let every dark assignment
Bow down at Jesus' feet

Let every curse be broken
Let every storm be tamed
And all that come against us
Be bound in Jesus' name

Your presence is my greatest weapon
Pushing back the darkness
Breaking every chain
My worship opens up the heavens
Crushing every stronghold
When I speak Your name
'Cause Your presence is my weapon
Your presence is my weapon

Your strength will not be shaken
Your love will not back down
Death has been defeated
What can stop me now?
Hold on to what You've spoken
You said that I am free
You've given me Your promise
You are my victory

Your presence is my greatest weapon
Pushing back the darkness
Breaking every chain
My worship opens up the heavens
Crushing every stronghold
When I speak Your name
'Cause Your presence is my weapon
Your presence is my weapon

Your word and a melody
Are makin' a way for me
You defeat the enemy
This prison is shakin' now
And these walls are comin' down
Your presence makes me free (I am free, I am free)
I am free (Hallelujah, hallelujah)

Your presence is my greatest weapon
Pushing back the darkness
Breaking every chain
My worship opens up the heavens
Crushing every stronghold
When I speak Your name
'Cause Your presence is my weapon
Your presence is my weapon
Your presence is my weapon

Do It Through Me

I can believe You're alive and awake
And Your spirit still moves in mysterious ways
I know that You're speakin', You live and You breathe
It's just hard to believe You wanna do it through me
But You do it through me
(You do it through me, me, yeah)

I believe we are doin' the work that You've left
That Heaven is walkin' on feet made of flesh
I know human hands carry out the divine
It's just hard to believe that You'd wanna use mine

It's hard to believe
It's hard to believe

You look to the weak and You reach for the small
Trust them in places they might slip and fall
It's hard to believe
But, Lord, I believe

(I do, I do, I do)
Lord, I believe (I do, I do, I do)

So I keep on 'cause You keep on givin' me grace
When I walk in Your will, when I'm runnin' Your race
'Cause You are the King and I'm Yours to be used
It's just hard to believe I'm somebody You'd choose

It's hard to believe
It's hard to believe
You look to the weak and You reach for the small
Trust them in places they might slip and fall
It's hard to believe

Who am I that I have Your DNA?
Who am I that You'd let me wear Your name?
That You wanna use me
Who am I that You'd let me play a part?
Who am I that You'd shine me in the dark?
But You wanna use me
Oh, yeah
Who am I? I have Your DNA
Who am I? Let me wear Your name
But You wanna use me
Who am I? (I have Your DNA)
Who am I? Yeah, You (Let me wear Your name)
Oh, that You wanna use me

It's hard to believe
It's hard to believe
You look to the weak and You reach for the small
Trust them in places they might slip and fall
It's hard to believe
But, Lord, I believe

(I do, I do, I do)
Lord, I believe (I do, I do)
I believe

Praise You In This Storm

I was sure by now, God, You would have reached down
And wiped our tears away
Stepped in and saved the day
But once again, I say amen
And it's still raining
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear Your whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
The God who gives and takes away

And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
Cause You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I remember when I stumbled in the wind
You heard my cry You raised me up again
My strength is almost gone, how can I carry on
If I can't find You
As the thunder rolls
I barely hear You whisper through the rain
"I'm with you"
And as Your mercy falls
I raise my hands and praise
The God who gives and takes away

And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
Cause You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

And though my heart is torn
I will praise You in this storm

I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of heaven and earth
I lift my eyes unto the hills
Where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord
The Maker of heaven and earth
You are my help

And I'll praise You in this storm
And I will lift my hands
Cause You are who You are
No matter where I am
And every tear I've cried
You hold in Your hand
You never left my side
And though my heart is torn

I will praise You in this storm
And though my heart is torn
I will praise, I will praise You in this storm
I will praise You in this storm
Praise You in this storm
I will praise You in this storm

Who Else

You are not afraid of the fire
'Cause You can bring these ashes back to life
When I am surrounded by flames
I have this confidence
When nothin' else makes sense
Who else can take a tragedy
And turn it into victory
Who else, who else, who is like You, God?
You take the worst that life can bring
And use it all for Your glory
Who else, who else, who is like You, God?

You are never shaken by the wind
'Cause You can build the broken up again
When I have lost all my strength to stand
Yeah, I have this confidence
When nothin' else makes sense

Who else can take a tragedy
And turn it into victory
Who else, who else, who is like You, God?
You take the worst that life can bring
And use it all for Your glory
Who else, who else?

You never fail
You never will
You're workin' everything together for my good
Oh, You never fail
You never will
You're bringin' turnaround just like You said You would

Who else can take a tragedy
And turn it into victory
Who else, who else, who is like You, God?
All for Your glory
Who else, who else, who is like You, God?

Who else, who else
Nobody like You, God
Nobody like You
Who is like You, God?

Even Louder

(feat. Mr. Talkbox)

Even louder, even louder
Even louder, even louder

Yeah, so undeserving, and yet we worship
Givin' all the praise, just humble servants
Through sweat and tears till no more fears
Singin' the glory of the gospel out to every ear
You cover me with grace and a love so unconditional
It's got me on my face every day, God, ay
Goes the praise of the saints, ay
Goes my praise every day, yeah

Even if the drum stops beatin'
My soul'll keep on singin'
Even louder, even louder
Even when my eyes can't see it
I will sing till I believe it
Even louder, even louder

(Hey, yeah, I will sing it) Till I believe it
Even louder, (Even louder) even louder

Ay, ay, my God is stronger than any sin that I hold (Yeah)
More precious than any silver and gold, yeah
I told myself that my sin made me unworthy, but
Truth is, I'll never be perfect, but Christ took the burden (Hey)
Me, I give my all despite my downfalls
Where many see me fail, only You see me prevail
The bigger depression hits, the louder my praise get
The bigger depression hits, the louder my praise get, come on

Even if the drum stops beatin'
My soul will keep on singin' (Let the church say)
Even louder, (God's people, say) even louder
Even when my eyes can't see it
I will sing till I believe it (Everybody, say)
Even louder, (God's people, say) even louder

When I lift my voice
Heaven comes to earth
When I sing this song
I feel You respond
When I lift my voice (Lift my voice)
Heaven comes to earth (I feel You respond)
When I sing this song (Sing this song)
I feel You respond

Even if the drum stops beatin' (Hey, yeah)
My soul will keep on singin'
Even louder (God's people, say)
Even louder (Let the church say)
Even when my eyes can't see it (I'll sing)

Even louder, (Let the church say) even louder

Hey, yeah (I will sing till I believe it)
Even louder, even louder
And even if the drum stops beatin'
My soul will keep on singin'
Even louder, even louder

No Stranger

You are no stranger to the scar
So You can have my wounded heart
You weren't protected from the pain
So You can hold me when I break

You seek me out and find me here
With love that knows the taste of tears
So I will trust in who You are
You're no stranger, no stranger to the scar

You are no stranger to the storm
You have calmed these winds before
Your voice still whispers, "Peace, be still"
And the waves still do Your will

So I won't fear the rising tide
The tempest roars and You arrive
I'll walk on these angry seas
For You're no stranger
You're no stranger, Lord, to me
No stranger, Lord, to me
Oh, You're no stranger to me

Hallelujah, what a Savior
Hallelujah, You are no stranger to me
Hallelujah, what a Father
Hallelujah, You are no stranger to me
You are no stranger to me

You are no stranger to the grave
You laid still beneath its weight
But You have conquered death's domain
You have rescued me from shame

Here I am, a soul You saved
Redemption mine and mine always
I am Yours for all eternity
For I'm no stranger
No stranger, Lord, to Thee
No stranger to Thee

Hallelujah, what a Savior
Hallelujah, You are no stranger to me
Hallelujah, what a Father
Hallelujah, You are no stranger to me
Hallelujah, what a Savior
Hallelujah, You are no stranger to me
Hallelujah, what a Father
Hallelujah, You are no stranger to me
You are no stranger to me

Presence of the King

(feat. Fleurie)

Here I am, I take a step towards You
Touch again the edge of majesty
There is no end, only new beginnings
The wonder of Your mercy changin' me

And I am awake to Your glory
I'm aware You are holy here
I draw near, surrender everything
I find myself in the presence
I find myself in the presence of the King

You say a gift makes a way for the Giver
Takes us into the presence of the King
And I will dwell in Your house forever
Holy Spirit, so alive in me

And I am awake to Your glory
I'm aware You are holy here
I draw near, surrender everything
I find myself in the presence
I find myself in the presence of the King

(Holy)
(Holy)

Holy, holy is the Lord
The Lord, our God (Holy)
Holy, holy is the Lord
The Lord, our God (Holy)
Holy, holy is the Lord (Holy)
The Lord, our God
Holy, holy is the Lord
The Lord, our God (Holy)
Holy, holy is the Lord
The Lord, our God (Holy)
Holy, holy is the Lord
The Lord, our God

And I'm awake to Your glory
I'm aware You are holy here
I draw near, surrender everything
I find myself in the presence
I find myself in the presence
Find myself in the presence
Find myself in the presence of the King

My Weapon (Sacred Version)

Let every lie be silenced and all depression cease
Let every dark assignment bow down at Jesus' feet
Let every curse be broken, let every storm be tamed
And all that come against us be bound in Jesus' name

Pushing back the darkness, breaking every chain
My worship opens up the Heavens
Crushing every stronghold when I speak Your name
'Cause Your presence is my weapon
Your presence is my weapon

Your strength will not be shaken, Your love will not back down
Death has been defeated, what can stop us now?
I hold on to what You've spoken, and You said that I am free
You've given me Your promise and You are my victory, yeah

Your presence is my greatest weapon
Pushing back the darkness, breaking every chain
My worship opens up the Heavens
Crushing every stronghold when I speak Your name
'Cause Your presence is my weapon
Your presence is my weapon (You are my weapon)
Ooh yeah
Ooh-ooh, yeah

Your word and a melody are making a way for me
You defeat the enemy yeah
This prison is shaking now and these walls are coming down
Your presence makes me free, yes (Oh, I am free, oh, I am free)
Oh, I'm free (Hallelujah, hallelujah)

Your presence is my greatest weapon
Pushing back the darkness, breaking every chain
My worship opens up the Heavens
Crushing every stronghold when I speak Your name
Your presence is my weapon
Your presence is my weapon (You are all I need)
Your presence is-
You are my weapon
