Lyrics to "Anything Worth Saying" by Aaron Shust
Yes, like everybody else I first heard Aaron Shust's music after his first song,
"My Savior, My God" became a big hit. But I received and listened to his whole
album, "Anything Worth Saying", and I really like it. The lyrics are below.
His new album "Whispered and Shouted" is released
on June 5, and can be
pre-ordered for $9.95 with free shipping from aaronshust.com including an autograph and
"Listen Now" online access so you can listen to it right away after ordering!
01. Give Me Words
Give me words to speak
Don't let my spirit sleep
Cause I can't think of anything worth saying
02. Glory To You
Great God of might, great God of wonders
Giver of life, Giver of grace
Creator of everything before us
You had me in mind before the stars were in place
Your love surpasses all by far
We're praising You for all You are
The reason we're here and the reason we sing
Is to thank You, oh God, and give praise to the King
We lift up our hands and we lift up our eyes and sing
You are holy
You are holy
Father of Love, Father of Mercy
What have I done that You would think about me?
You've taken my shame, You've taken my sorrow
Replaced them with life and life abundantly
Your love surpasses all by far
We're praising You for all You are
The reason we're here and the reason we sing
Is to thank You, oh God, and give praise to the King
We lift up our hands and we lift up our eyes and sing
You are holy
The reason we're here and the reason we sing
Is to thank You, oh God, and give praise to the King
We lift up our hearts and we lift up our minds
And we pray that all we do would bring glory to You
You can see inside my heart
You can see inside my mind
So strip away the things
That leave me deaf and blind
The reason we're here and the reason we sing
Is to thank You, oh God, and give praise to the King
We lift up our hands and we lift up our eyes and sing
You are holy
The reason we're here and the reason we sing
Is to thank You, oh God, and give praise to the King
We lift up our hearts and we lift up our minds
And we pray that all we do would bring glory to You
You are holy
03. Matchless
Son of a Man, Great I am, King of heaven,
Son of god, You hold the measure of my days
Holy Lamb, spotless Lamb, You are worthy, I am not
Before Your throne I stand amazed
Every tongue confess and every knee will bow
To Jesus Christ the Lord forever, hear our praises now
Your name is matchless, Your name is priceless
Your name means more than I could know
You're so far above me, the way that You love me
Goes further than any love could go
Wonderful Counselor, Root of David, Morning Star
You are the way, the truth, the life
Lion of the tribe of Judah, Mighty God is who You are
The only perfect sacrifice
Every tongue confess and every knee will bow
To Jesus Christ the Lord forever, hear our praises now
Your name is matchless, Your name is priceless
Your name means more than I could know
You're so far above me, the way that You love me
Goes further than any love could go
In Your name You took the blind man and You gave him back his sight
In Your name You took the dead man and You brought him back to life
In Your name You took this prisoner and You opened up the doors
And I will sing before Your throne forever more
Your name is matchless, Your name is priceless
Your name means more than I could know
You're so far above me, the way that You love me
Goes further than any love could go
Your name is matchless, Your name is priceless
Your name means more than I could know
You're so far above me, the way that You love me
Goes further than any love could go
04. Let the People Praise
Our God is the God of Gods
Our Lord is the Lord of Kings
The Revealer of secrets, of mysteries unknown
Let the people praise our God
Let the people praise our God
His sovereign rule will last forever
His kingdom won't decline or fall
He does as He pleases both in Heaven and Earth
Who am I that I should question Him at all?
Our God is the God of Gods
Our Lord is the Lord of Kings
The Revealer of secrets, of mysteries unknown
Let the people praise our God
Let the people praise our God
He lifts up kings and brings them low again
He shows us what is right from wrong
God of all time we give You thanks and praise
For You have made us wise and You have made us strong
Our God is the God of Gods
Our Lord is the Lord of Kings
The Revealer of secrets, of mysteries unknown
Let the people praise our God
Let the people praise our God
Everything He does is right and all His ways are just
Those who walk in pride He is able to humble
Everything He does is right and all His ways are just
Those who walk in pride He is able to humble
Our God is the God of Gods
Our Lord is the Lord of Kings
The Revealer of secrets, of mysteries unknown
Let the people praise our God
Let the people praise our God
05. Stillness (Speak to Me)
I come to You, oh God, in the stillness of my heart
I need Your healing and Your voice in the stillness of my heart
So speak to me and show me who You are
Rescue me with Your unfailing love and mercy
Speak to me and show me who You are
Hold me tightly in Your arms and never let me go
I hear You calling out my name in the stillness of my heart
Your grace is given me again, now I open my heart
So speak to me and show me who You are
Rescue me with Your unfailing love and mercy
Speak to me and show me who You are
Hold me tightly in Your arms and never let me go
I remember singing praises to Your name every day with all my might
How I long to sing to You again
So speak to me and show me who You are
Rescue me with Your unfailing love and mercy
Speak to me and show me who You are
Hold me tightly in Your arms and never let me go
Speak to me and show me who You are
Rescue me with Your unfailing love and mercy
Speak to me and show me who You are
Hold me tightly in Your arms and never let me go
Hold me tightly in Your arms and never let me
Go
06. More Wonderful
God of unending grace, I come to You on my face
I need to hear You speak to me, won't You make me new right now
God of omnipotent power, visit us in this hour
And may we leave here changed because we've met with You, God
You've been more wonderful to me than I could have ever imagined
You've shown more love than I could show in a thousand years
And although it seems at times like it all means nothing to me
You gotta know that I love You
You gotta know that I need You
God of wisdom and love, settle down from above
Give us all a taste of what Your Holy Spirit can do
Time and time again we've betrayed, but our debt's already been paid
And all that leaves me wanting is to live for You, God
You've been more wonderful to me than I could have ever imagined
You've shown more love than I could show in a thousand years
And although it seems at times like it all means nothing to me
You gotta know that I love You
You gotta know that I need You
When the world crashes down around me
I know You'll be there to pull me out from the rubble
When my enemy surrounds and I call on Your name
You'll be there to deliver me from my troubled soul
You've been more wonderful to me than I could have ever imagined
You've shown more love than I could show in a thousand years
You've been more wonderful to me
(Rescue me from all my selfish ways)
Than I could have ever imagined
(And thoughts and deeds and plans)
You've shown more love than I could show
(Lead me in the everlasting way)
In a thousand years
(And I will follow You there)
And although it seems at times like it all means nothing to me
You gotta know that I love You
You gotta know that I need You
You gotta know that I love You
You gotta know that I need You
You're more wonderful
07. Give It All Away
Search my heart, Search my mind, Search my soul
Make me clean, Make me new, Make me whole
All of my plans, All of my dreams, I lay them down before Your feet
All of my time, All that was mine, I now submit to Your design
Cause You are the one and only one who dared to give it all away to me
You dared to give it all away to me
You are my strength, You are my God, You are my King
You make me laugh, You make me dance, You make me sing
All of my plans, All of my dreams, I lay them down before Your feet
All of my time, All that was mine, I now submit to Your design
Cause You are the one and only one who dared to give it all away to me
You dared to give it all away to me
You gave it all away
Everything inside, everything outside, I give it all away
You gave it all away
You never change, but You rearrange my heart more everyday
All of my plans, All of my dreams, I lay them down before Your feet
All of my time, All that was mine, I now submit to Your design
All of my plans, All of my dreams, I lay them down before Your feet
All of my time, All that was mine, I now submit to Your design
Cause You are the one who can make my life complete
You are the one who can give light to my feet
You are the one and only one who dared to give it all away for me
You dared to give it all away to me
You dared to give it all away
You gave it all away to me
You gave it all away to me
Search my heart, Search my mind, Search my soul
08. Change The Way
King of all the universe
We love You and we come to You now
Asking for Your healing touch
We need You this very hour
Would You help us comprehend, what it means to worship You
Cause we're blinded by our circumstance
Heal our eyes today
May we know Your love, Feel it course through our veins
Encircling our hearts and embracing our souls
We need Your love and grace to remain, to rearrange our hearts
And change the way that we praise
Son of God who took my place
We thank You and may we realize
You've made us righteous in His sight
You took our wrongs and made them right
We owe You all of our lives
Would You help us comprehend, what it means to worship You
Cause we're blinded by our circumstance
Heal our eyes today
May we know Your love, Feel it course through our veins
Encircling our hearts and embracing our souls
We need Your love and grace to remain, to rearrange our hearts
And change the way that we praise
Love me, Father, for I am Your son
(I am Your daughter)
Love me, Father, for I am Your son
(I am Your daughter)
May we know Your love, Feel it course through our veins
Encircling our hearts and embracing our souls
We need Your love and grace to remain, to rearrange our hearts
And change the way that we praise
(Change the way that we praise)
Rearrange our hearts, and change the way that we praise
09. My Savior My God
I am not skilled to understand
What God has willed, what God has planned
I only know at his right hand
Stands one who is my Savior
I take him at his word and deed
Christ died to save me this I read
And in my heart I find a need
For him to be my Savior
That He would leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my Savior
My Savior loves, my Savior lives
My Savior's always there for me
My God He was, my God He is
My God He's always gonna be
Yes, living, dying, Let me bring
My strength, my solace from this spring
That He who lives to be my King
Once died to be my Savior
That He would leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my Savior
My Savior loves, my Savior lives
My Savior's always there for me
My God He was, My God He is
My God He's always gonna be
My Savior loves, my Savior lives
My Savior's always there for me
My God He was, My God He is
My God He's always gonna be
My Savior lives, my Savior loves
My Savior lives, my Savior loves
10. Stand To Praise
Everybody praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Every nation applaud His name
Everybody praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Every nation applaud His name
For great is His love toward us
The faithfulness of the Lord endures
The faithfulness of the Lord endures forever
We stand to praise the Lord
We stand to praise the Lord

We stand to praise the Lord
Everybody praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Every nation applaud His name

11. In Your Name
In Your name You took the blind man and You gave him back his sight
In Your name You took the dead man and You brought him back to life
In Your name You took this prisoner and You opened up the doors
And I will sing before Your throne forever more
12. One Day
One Day I will leave this body
And I will get a perfect one
That day I will see His glory
Shining like the noon day sun
One day, I'll take a walk with Jesus
He might explain the mysteries of life
Some say, I just can't believe it
But I know that one day
We will gather at the Crystal Throne
All these years we're finally home
I can actually see His face
And all I can do is say,
Holy, Holy is the Lord Almighty,
Who was and is and is to come
We lay our crowns before You
Every heart and soul adore You
The God of gods, Almighty One
One Day, death will be abolished
And sin will have its mastery no more
And I know that we will be astonished
At all that our Creator has in store
One day we will meet our Savior
And He will give each one of us a stone
Engraved with our names upon it
Known by God alone
We will gather at the Crystal Throne
All these years we're finally home
I can actually see His face
I never thought I'd see the day that
We will gather at the Crystal Throne
All these years we're finally home
I can actually see His face
And all I can do is say
Holy, Holy is the Lord Almighty,
Who was and is and is to come
We lay our crowns before You
Every heart and soul adore You
The God of gods, Almighty One
We're singing
Holy, Holy is the Lord Almighty,
Who was and is and is to come
We lay our crowns before You
Every heart and soul adore You
The God of gods, Almighty One
We're singing
Holy, Holy is the Lord Almighty,
Who was and is and is to come
We lay our crowns before You
Every heart and soul adore You
The God of gods, Almighty One
King of kings, God's only Son
Lord of lords
Salvation done
One day...
One day...(ooooh, oh yeah)
One day...(I'll see his face)
One day...(ooh, gonna walk with Him in glory, yeah)
One day...(I will see my Savior)
One day...(mmmmmmmmmmhh)
One day...(one day, yay yeah)
One day...(one day, one day, one day)
One day...(I will have a little talk with Jesus, oh)
One day...(ooh, one day, one day, one day)
One day...(one day, yay yeah)
One day...(oh, no more trials)
One day...(to bear, one day, one day)
One day...
(Is this where I'm not supposed to sing?)
I had to put in all those little words at the end of "One Day" which are pretty cool!
