list one song a month to create the soundtrack of my year

“This Could Be The Year” by Ryan Star

This could be the year.
This could be the moment you’ve been waiting your whole life to show the world the cards you’re holding.

It’s one life,
One dream,
One spark.
It’s one chance,
One move,
One shot.
It’s on you
Be cool,
Be real.

This could be the year.
This could be the moment you’ve been waiting your whole life to show the world the cards you’re holding.

It’s one life,
One wish,
One fire.
It’s one choice,
One voice,
Saying get higher.

This could be the year.
This could be the moment you’ve been waiting your whole life to show the world that you are ready.

Hold your head up high and touch the sky, ‘cause you know this is everything, everything.
Take your shot it’s all you’ve gotta be.

This could be the year.
This could be moment.
This could be the year, I know it.

This could be the year.
This could be the moment.
This could be the year, I know it.

“Gotta Move On” by House Red

My eyes are fixed on you
To catch your every move
And follow you
Gotta move on I won’t stay here another day
I can hear you say
To live higher in your ways
And walk with you
Gotta move on I won’t stay here another day

My life’s yours
I’m decided
My heart’s yours
Undivided

My eyes are fixed on you
To catch your every move
And follow you
Gotta move on I won’t stay here another day
I can hear you say
To live higher in your ways
And walk with you
Gotta move on I won’t stay here another day

My life’s yours
I’m decided
My heart’s yours
Undivided

My life’s yours
I’m decided
My heart’s yours
Undivided

You called me to come and I’m gonna run
Gotta move on I won’t stay here another day
You called out my name And I’m not the same now
Gotta move on I won’t stay here another day
You called me to come and I’m gonna run
Gotta move on I won’t stay here another day
You called out my name and I’m not the same now
Gotta move on I won’t stay here another day

My life’s yours
I’m decided
My heart’s yours
Undivided

“Magnificent” by U2

Magnificent
Oh, magnificent

I was born
I was born to be with you 

In this space and time
After that and ever after
I haven’t had a clue

Only to break rhyme
This foolishness can leave a heart
Black and blue


Oh, Oh,

Only love
Only love can leave such a mark

But only love
Only love can heal such a scar


I was born
I was born to sing for you 

I didn’t have a choice
But to lift you up
And sing whatever song you wanted me to
I give you back my voice
From the womb my first cry
It was a joyful noise
Oh, oh

Only love
Only love can leave such a mark
But only love
Only love can heal such a scar


Justified till we die
You and I will magnify

Oh, the magnificent

Magnificent

Only love
Only love can leave such a mark

But only love
Only love unites our hearts



Justified till we die
You and I will magnify
Oh, the magnificent

Magnificent

Magnificent

“Lord (I Don’t Know)” by The Newsboys

You are the Author of Knowledge
You can redeem what’s been done
You hold the present and all that’s to come
Until your everlasting kingdom

Lord, I don’t know where all this is going
Or how it all works out
Lead me to peace that is past understanding
A peace beyond all doubt

You are the God of tomorrow
Turning the darkness to dawn
Lifting the hopeless with hope to go on
You are the rock of all salvation

Lord, I don’t know where all this is going
Or how it all works out
Lead me to peace that is past understanding
A peace beyond all doubt

Oh, Lord, you are the author
Redeeming what’s been done
You hold us in the present
And all that is to come

Lord, we don’t know where all this is going
Or how it all works out
Lead us to peace that is past understanding
A peace beyond all doubt

“Desert Rose” by White Heart

Lost in a windswept land
In a world of shifting sand
A fragile flower stands apart

There in that barren ground
Feel like the only one
Trying to serve Him with all your heart

And you wonder, wonder
Can you last much longer?
This cloud you are under
Will it cover you?

Desert rose, desert rose
Don’t you worry, don’t be lonely
Heaven knows, Heaven knows
In a dry and weary land a flower grows
His desert rose, His desert rose

Sometimes holiness
Can seem like emptiness
When you feel the whole world’s laughing eyes

If it’s a lonely day
Know you’re on the Father’s way
He will hear you when you cry

And He will hold you, hold you
Your Father will hold you
He will love you, love you
For the things you do

Desert rose, desert rose
Don’t you worry, don’t be lonely
Heaven knows, Heaven knows
In a dry and weary land a flower grows
His desert rose, His desert rose

His desert rose, desert rose
Don’t you worry, don’t be lonely
Heaven knows, Heaven knows
In a dry and weary land a flower grows
His desert rose, desert rose

Desert rose, don’t be lonely, don’t be lonely
Desert rose, ooh, don’t you worry
Desert rose, don’t you know He’ll be with you
Heaven knows, Heaven knows

He will call your tattered heart on desert rose

“Progress” by Mutemath

Pulling your confidence through
Some courage is well overdue
I believe solely in all your promise
Why waste a second in doubt
You could be helping you out
Keeping your head in the clear

Like an instrument for a song
Like the sun for tomorrow’s dawn
Every moment of time’s just an answer to find
What you’re here for, what you breathe for
What you wake for, what you bleed for

Everyone’s counting on you
Save for yourself what to do
Life is a card that you lay down sometimes
To search for the best way of all
Is finding the best way to fall
Keeping your head in the clear

Every moment of time’s just an answer to find
What you’re here for, what you breathe for
What you wake for, what you bleed for
What you hope for, what you live for
What you’re here for, what you breathe for, what you live for
What you’re here for, what you bleed for, what you live for

“My Soul Longs For You” by Misty Edwards

My soul longs for You my soul longs for you
Nothing else will do nothing else will do

My soul longs for You my soul longs for you
Nothing else will do nothing else will do…

I believe You will come like the rain…

You’ll come like the rain

So let it rain let it rain let it rain let it rain…
Hallelujah Halleljujah You’ll make all things new

“Right Now” by Ryan Star

I’m putting all my things in boxes,
I’m gonna throw it all away.
I think I’ve got a good idea but,
Who am I to say.

I’m burning all the things you gave me,
Erasing all my memories.
I thought you were the one to save me,
I was so naive.

I’m about to lose control
So, I’m gonna let it go

Yesterday is history,
Tomorrow may not come.
I’m gonna run to the horizon,
We are strong,
We are young.
I’m gonna lay on the ground,
Feel the rain that’s coming down.
And there’s nothing anyone,
could do or say to bring me down.

Right Now
Right Now

I think its time I started over.
I think I’ll sail away from here.
I’m gonna make a great escape,
Now watch me disappear.

I’m about to lose control
Now I’m gonna let it go

Yesterday is history,
Tomorrow may not come.
I’m gonna run to the horizon,
We are strong,
We are young.
I’m gonna lay on the ground,
Feel the rain that’s coming down.
And there’s nothing anyone,
could do or say to bring me down.
Right Now
Right Now

All we ever have is Right Now,
And all we’ll ever need is here, Right Now

Yesterday is history,
Tomorrow may not come.
I’m gonna run to the horizon,
We are strong,
We are young.
I’m gonna lay on the ground,
Feel the rain that’s coming down.
And there’s nothing anyone,
could do or say to bring me down.

Right Now
Right Now
Right Now
Right Now

February 2009: “Deliver Me” (David Crowder version)

Deliver me out of the sadness
Deliver me from all the madness
Deliver me courage to guide me
Deliver me Your strength inside me

CHORUS:
All of my life
I’ve been in hiding
Wishing there was someone just like You
Now that You’re here
Now that I’ve found You
I know that You’re the One to pull me through

Deliver me loving and caring
Deliver me giving and sharing
Deliver me this cross that I’m bearing

Oh, deliver me

Jesus, Jesus how I trust You
How I’ve proved You o’er and o’er
Jesus, Jesus precious Jesus
Deliver me
Come and pull me through
Come pull me through

January 2009: “Can’t Stop The World” by Gavin Rossdale

How far will you go
How deep is your love
Your body’s bruised and on fire
Can’t stop the world
Can’t stop desire

And I can’t turn around
And I can’t turn around

Some days I can see the future
Some days you seem so far
I don’t know know what I was thinking
I’ve been gone too long
I’ve been gone too long

Don’t fall to pieces
Don’t give up or give down
Keep your eyes on the road
Can’t stop the world
Can’t stop the phones

And I can’t turn around
And I can’t turn around

Some days i can see the future
Some days you seem so far
I don’t know know what I was thinking
I’ve been gone too long
I’ve been gone too long
Some days I can see the future
Some days you seem so far
I don’t know know what I was thinking
I’ve been gone too long
i’ve been gone…..

The strange life surrounding you
It’s only you
I understand
What can I do to get to you
Oh, what can I do to get to you

How far will you go
How deep is your love
Your body’s so bruised and on fire
Can’t stop the world
Can’t stop desire

Some days I can see the future
Some days you seem so far
I don’t know know what I was thinking
I’ve been gone too long
I’ve been gone too long
Some days I can see the future
Some days you seem so far
I don’t know know what I was thinking
I don’t know what I was thinking
I’ve been gone too long
I’ve been gone too long
