Lyrics to "Whispered and Shouted" by Aaron Shust

I pulled these lyrics directly off AaronShust.com, where you can also buy the album directly for $9.95 with free shipping. The official release was on June 5, 2007. Here are the 12 tracks on the new album which I think is actually better than his first album. I have modified the lyrics here to include all the words and verses he sings on the album.
  1. Long Live the King
  2. Like I Never Felt Before
  3. Create Again
  4. Watch Over Me
  5. Give Me Words To Sing
  6. Life Itself
  7. The Name of Jesus
  8. I Will Wait
  9. Runaway
  10. Can't Hide From Your Love
  11. Come To Me
  12. Worthy/Let All I Do

LONG LIVE THE KING

My heart keeps beating even though I can’t control it.
My lungs keep breathing I admit I don’t know how.
Bring the flood or bring the fire in this lifetime
I’m ready for the altar or the plough

There are always days when I don’t feel like singing
There are always days when I don’t care at all
But I know the King of All Creation reigns completely
Over every moment great and small

Long live the One who gives us
Life and peace and hope for tomorrow
You’ve given everything we needed
From the palm of Your hand
I’ll give my everything to the One
Who pledged to cancel My sorrow
All I have is Yours (Long Live the King)
All I have is Yours (Long Live the King)
All I have is Yours (Long Live the King)

Humbly we approach Your throne of Mercy
Aware that we’re unworthy of Your Grace
(But) You have offered pardon and forgiveness
Grievances are gone without a trace

You restore our lives even though we don’t deserve it
And You’ve given us a love that’s not our own
You assemble all our broken, shattered pieces:
More beautiful than I had ever known

Long live the One who gives us
Life and peace and hope for tomorrow
You’ve given everything we needed
From the palm of Your hand
I’ll give my everything to the One
Who pledged to cancel My sorrow
All I have is Yours (Long Live the King)
All I have is Yours (Long Live the King)
All I have is Yours (Long Live the King)

You Shall Reign Forever and Ever
You Shall Reign Forever and Ever
You Shall Reign Forever and Ever
You Shall Reign Forever and Ever
You Shall Reign Forever and Ever
You Shall Reign, You Shall Reign
Forever and Ever and Ever and Ever and

Long live the One who gives us
Life and peace and hope for tomorrow
You’ve given everything we needed
From the palm of Your hand
I’ll give my everything to the One
Who pledged to cancel My sorrow
All I have is Yours (Long Live the King)
All I have is Yours (Long Live the King)
All I have is Yours (Long Live the King)

2. LIKE I NEVER FELT BEFORE

(Been) training all this time
I’m at the starting line
A marathon I’m gonna have to run
In such a way as if to win the prize

And I believe
Even though I can’t see
All the athletes from days gone by
Are in the stadium surrounding me

And in the days
before the final phase
I sacrificed the things that held me down
And concentratedly I fixed my gaze.

A shot resounds
My heart begins to pound
And I begin to know what it’s like
To run as if I had nobody around

And I feel like I never felt before
I ran through the open door
And I feel like I never felt before
And it seems You’re aware of so much more
Than I gave You credit for
And I feel like I never felt before

Climbing high
I can almost touch the sky
But every time I’m halfway there
I think I’ll never reach the top alive

But I’m aware
I’m safely in Your care
And with Your help I’ll never face a day
That I am unable to bear

And I feel like I never felt before
I ran through the open door
And I feel like I never felt before
And it seems You’re aware of so much more
Than I gave You credit for
And I feel like I never felt before

You taught me to crawl/ You taught be to stand
You taught me run one step at a time/and watch out for the quicksand
You taught me to live/ You taught me to die
You taught me to spread My wings and how to fly
How to fly

And I feel like I never felt before
I ran through the open door
And I feel like I never felt before
And it seems You’re aware of so much more
Than I gave You credit for
And I feel like I never felt before
And I feel like I never felt before
Like I never felt before

3. CREATE AGAIN

Separated from night
You spoke and then there was light
They point to You

Divided water from land
Bowing to Your command
They point to You

The sun that’s blazing at noon
And every phase of the moon
They point to You.

A baby’s cry and the way
A sunset closes the day
They point to You.

For You’re the only One worth praising
More radiant than earth and sky
And everyday that I survey Your creation
I see why, I see why

God of everything I see,
Come create again in me
You were yesterday
and You will always be
So take each breath that I breathe
And be the life that I bleed
Create again in me

The storm that’s raging at sea
The little child on her knees
They point to You

Your grace that’s poured out on me
The sacrifice on a tree
They point to You

For You’re the only One worth praising
More radiant than earth and sky
And everyday that I survey Your creation
I see why, I see why

God of everything I see,
Come create again in me
You were yesterday
and You will always be
So take each breath that I breathe
And be the life that I bleed
Create again in me
Create again in me

Your Word vaults across the sky
From sunrise to sunset
Melting the ice, scorching the desert
Warm our hearts to faith
(create again in me)
Warm our hearts to faith
(create again in me)
Warm our hearts to faith
(create again in me)

God of everything I see,
Come create again in me
You were yesterday
and You will always be
So take each breath that I breathe
God of everything I see,
Come create again in me
You were yesterday
and You will always be
So take each breath that I breathe
And be the life that I bleed
Create again in me

4. WATCH OVER ME

I was lonely
You came waltzing over to me
And Your eyes they saw right through me
And You heard each one of my cries for help
And You came to rescue me

I was broken
Every prayer that I had spoken
Reached Your ears and all my tears weren’t cried in vain
You carried all my pain
And put me back together again

You watch over me in the darkest valleys
You watch over me when the night seems long
You help me to see the way before me
You watch over me; You watch over me

Always faithful
To be leading, at this moment
Interceding for Your children
Though I’ve wandered astray from Your infinite ways
You’ve never left me alone -

You watch over me in the darkest valleys
You watch over me when the night seems long
You help me to see the way before me
You watch over me; You watch over me

Take this frozen heart; awaken me
Never once have You forsaken me
Take this frozen heart; awaken me
Never once have You forsaken me

Oh....
You watch over me in the darkest valleys
You watch over me when the night seems long
You help me to see the way before me
You watch over me; You watch over me

You watch over me in the darkest valleys
You watch over me when the night seems long
You help me to see the way before me
You watch over me; You watch over me
You watch over me

Even though I walk through this shadow of death
You will guide and defend me
You’ll guard and protect me
Even though I walk through this shadow of death
You will lead me home

5. GIVE ME WORDS TO SPEAK

Calloused and bruised/ dazed and confused
My Spirit is left wanting something more
Than my selfish hopes/ and my selfish dreams
I’m lying with my face down on the floor
I’m crying out for more
Crying out for more

Give me Words to speak
Don’t let my Spirit sleep
Cause I can’t think of anything worth saying
But I know that I owe You my life
So give me Words to speak
Don’t let my Spirit sleep

Every night, every day/ I find that I have nothing left to say
So I stand here in silence awaiting Your guidance
I’m wanting only Your voice to be heard
Let them be Your Words
Let them be Your Words

Give me Words to speak
Don’t let my Spirit sleep
Cause I can’t think of anything worth saying
But I know that I owe You my life
So give me Words to speak
Don’t let my Spirit sleep

I just don’t understand this life that I’ve been living
I just don’t understand
I just don’t understand
I just don’t understand these lies I’ve been believing
I just don’t understand
I just don’t understand

Give me Words to speak
Don’t let my Spirit sleep
Cause I can’t think of anything worth saying
But I know that I owe You my life
So give me Words to speak
Don’t let my Spirit sleep

Give me Words to speak
Don’t let my Spirit sleep
Cause I can’t think of anything worth saying
But I know that I owe You my life
So give me Words to speak
Don’t let my Spirit sleep
I know I know that I owe You my life
My life, my life
I know I know that I owe You my life
My life, my life

6. LIFE ITSELF

Before the break of dawn
My heart cries out to You
Where I’m surrounded by my night

Here all my weaknesses will wait upon Your mercy
The hope of dawn from black to white
From black to white

I love You more than life itself
Lord, You are so good to me
I need You more with every breath
So won’t You breathe some life in me
Won’t You breathe some life in me

Awakening the dawn, with all my heart
I sing to You
You are the reason that I live

Under me, over, all around I know You’re with me
Never condemning: You forgive
You always forgive

I love You more than life itself
Lord, You are so good to me
I need You more with every breath
So won’t You breathe some life in me
Won’t You breathe some life in me
Won’t You breathe some life in me

No matter where I go
No matter where I stand
Your Spirit always speaks to me
And tells me whose I am

With every breath I take
And every choice I make
My heart will always sing to You

I love You more than life itself
Lord, You are so good to me
I need You more with every breath
So won’t You breathe some life in me

I love You more than life itself
Lord, You are so good to me
I need You more with every breath
So won’t You breathe some life in me
Won’t You breathe some life in me

7. THE NAME OF JESUS

At the name of Jesus every knee will bow
And every tongue confess Him the King of Glory now
It’s the Father’s pleasure that we should call Him Lord
Who from the beginning was the mighty Word

We sing
Glory to the Lord on high
Glory to the Son who came to earth to die
Glory to the Spirit who lifts the name on high:
The Name of Jesus, The Name of Jesus

At His voice creation sprang at once to sight
All the angel faces and all the host of light
Thrones and dominations, stars upon their way
All the heavenly order, in their great array

They sang
Glory to the Lord on high
Glory to the Son who came to earth to die
Glory to the Spirit who lifts the name on high:
The Name of Jesus, The Name of Jesus
The Name of Jesus, The Name of Jesus

In Your hearts enthrone Him; there let Him subdue
All that is not holy, all that is not true
Crown Him as Your Captain, in temptation’s hour
Let His will enthrall You, in its light and power

We sing
Glory to the Lord on high
Glory to the Son who came to earth to die
Glory to the Spirit who lifts the name on high:
The Name of Jesus

We sing
Glory to the Lord on high
Glory to the Son who came to earth to die
Glory to the Spirit who lifts the name on high:
The Name of Jesus, The Name of Jesus
The Name of Jesus, The Name of Jesus

8. I WILL WAIT

When I am tired You bring me comfort
(I will wait; I will wait for You)
When I am weak You give me strength
(I will wait; I will wait for You)
When I can’t walk You give me wings like an eagle
(I will wait; I will wait for You)
When I’m alone You bring me peace
(I will wait)

I will wait for Your mercy
I will wait for Your plan to unfold
I will wait for Your mercies are new every morning

When I am wounded You heal my broken bones
(I will wait; I will wait for You)
And when I sing You fill my heart with joy
(I will wait; I will wait for You)
And when I fear the unknown You give me peace
(I will wait; I will wait for You)
And when I call, You always answer me
(I will wait)

I will wait for Your mercy
I will wait for Your plan to unfold
I will wait for Your mercies are new every morning

I will wait for Your mercy
I will wait for Your plan to unfold
I will wait for Your mercies are new every morning

We wait for You like watchmen wait for morning
We wait for You like creation waits for spring
We wait for You knowing sometimes without warning
You reveal Your plan in ways that maybe we don’t understand

I will wait for Your mercy
I will wait for Your plan to unfold
I will wait for Your mercies are new every morning
For Your mercies are new every morning

9. RUNAWAY

I would leave My world behind
Give up everything that’s mine
If I could know you

I would leave behind My home
Enter your world all alone
If I could find you

It doesn’t matter if you run away
It doesn’t matter if you hide

I would leave my world far behind
This love inside of Me; it’s never gonna die
And I don’t care how far away you roam
No I don’t care how far away you roam

I’ll come running out with open arms to welcome you back home
I’ll come running out with open arms to welcome you back home

I would love to see our name
Engraved upon a picture frame
On my mantle

I would love to see your face
Every morning as you wake up
To see Me

I just wish that I could talk to you
Because I love you more than life

I would leave my world far behind
This love inside of Me; it’s never gonna die
And I don’t care how far away you roam
No I don’t care how far away you roam

I’ll come running out with open arms to welcome you back home
I’ll come running out with open arms to welcome you back home
Won't you come back home?
I would leave my world far behind
This love inside of Me; it’s never gonna die
And I don’t care how far away you roam
I don’t care how far away you roam

I would leave my world far behind
This love inside of Me; it’s never gonna die
And I don’t care how far away you roam
I don’t care how far away you roam

I’ll come running out with open arms to welcome you back home
I’ll come running out with open arms to welcome you back home
I’ll come running out with open arms to welcome you back home
I’ll come running out with open arms to welcome you back home...

10. CAN'T HIDE FROM YOUR LOVE

I was lost and I was blind
I was begging for a sign
that someone
Somewhere heard me
As You whispered in the wind
And You shouted in the waves
That You heard me
That You loved me
And I could finally
Stop resisting

You’re Everything I ever wanted
And never knew I needed
You’re Everywhere I ever go
I can’t hide from Your Love anymore
I can’t hide from Your Love anymore

I begin to drop my guard
Faithful as the Morning Star
You show me tender mercy
I’m surrounded by Your beauty
I get lost in Heaven’s
Symphony
It never changes
Never ending
Unrelenting

You’re Everything I ever wanted
And never knew I needed
You’re Everywhere I ever go
I can’t hide from Your Love anymore
I can’t hide from Your Love anymore

Why would I want to?
I don’t want to

You’re Everything I ever wanted
And never knew I needed
You’re Everywhere I ever go
I can’t hide from Your Love anymore
I can’t hide from Your Love anymore
I can’t hide from Your Love anymore

11. COME TO ME

Come to Me all you who are weary and burdened
And I will give you rest
Come to Me all you who are weary and burdened
And I will give you rest

Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me
For I am gentle and humble in heart
Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me
You will find rest for your soul
You will find rest for your soul

Come to Me all you who are weary and burdened
And I will give you rest
Come to Me all you who are weary and burdened
And I will give you rest

For I am gentle and humble in heart
Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me
You will find rest for your soul
You will find rest for your soul

For My yoke is easy
And My burden is light
For My yoke is easy
And My burden is light

12. WORTHY / LET ALL I DO

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power, wealth and wisdom and strength
Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power, wealth and wisdom and strength

And honor and glory and praise
And praise

Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power, wealth and wisdom and strength
And honor and glory and praise
And praise
