Desert Song -- Hillsong

This is my prayer in the desert
When all that's within me feels dry
This is my prayer in my hunger and need
My God is the God who provides

This is my prayer in the fire
And weakness or trial or pain
There is faith proved of more worth than gold
So refine me Lord through the flames

I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain

I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

This is my prayer in the battle
When triumph is still on its way
I am a conqueror and co-heir with Christ
So firm on His promise I'll stand

I will bring praise
I will bring praise
No weapon formed against me shall remain

I will rejoice
I will declare
God is my victory and He is here

All of my life
In every season
You are still God
I have reason to sing
I have a reason to worship

And this is my prayer in the harvest
And favor and providence flow
I know I'm filled to be emptied again
The seed I received I will sow

Gotta Be Somebody -- Nickelback

This time I wonder what it feels like
To find the one in this life
The one we all dream of
But dreams just aren't enough
So I'll be waiting for the real thing
I'll know it by the feeling
The moment when we're meeting
Will play out like a scene straight off the silver screen
So I'll be holdin' my breath
Right up 'till the end
Until that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with

Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that

Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
Somebody else that feels the same somewhere
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Tonight out on the street out in the moonlight
And damn it this feels too right
It's just like déjà vu
Me standin' here with you
So I'll be holdin' my breath
Could this be the end?
Is it that moment when
I find the one that I'll spend forever with?

Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There's gotta be somebody for me like that

Cause nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

You can't give up
When you're lookin' for a diamond in the rough
Because you never know when it shows up
Make sure you're holdin' on
Cause it could be the one, the one you're waiting on

Cause nobody wants to be the last one there
And everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Someone to love with my life in their hands
There has gotta be somebody for me
Ohhhhhh

Nobody wants to go it on their own
And everyone wants to know they're not alone
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There's gotta be somebody for me out there

Nobody wants to be the last one there
Cause everyone wants to feel like someone cares
Is there somebody else that feels the same somewhere?
There has gotta be somebody for me out there

If Today Was Your Last Day -- Nickelback

My best friend gave me the best advice
He said each day's a gift and not a given right
Leave no stone unturned, leave your fears behind
And try to take the path less travelled by
That first step you take is the longest stride

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say good bye to yesterday
Would you live each moment like your last
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you had
If today was your last day

Against the grain should be a way of life
What's worth the prize is always worth the fight
Every second counts cause there's no second try
So live it like you'll never live it twice
Don't take the free ride in your own life

If today was your last day
And tomorrow was too late
Could you say good bye to yesterday
Would you live each moment like your last
Leave old pictures in the past
Donate every dime you had

Would you call old friends you never see
Reminisce old memories
Would you forgive your enemies
Would you find that one your dreamin' of
Swear up and down to God above
That you'd finally fall in love
If today was your last day
If today was your last day

Would you make your mark by mending a broken heart
You know it's never too late
To shoot for the stars regardless of who you are
So do whatever it takes
Cause you can't rewind a moment in this life
Let nothing stand in your way
Cause the hands of time are never on your side
