Lyrics to "All That is Within Me" by MercyMe

I thought "Coming Up To Breathe" was a good album, but for some reason I like "All That Is Within Me" even more. It's hard to put into words but it just feels more "real". My typical complaint of this CD -- too short! Ten tracks?

You can find the lyrics directly on MercyMe.org or here on this page where I typed them out by hand to follow how they are sung on the album (i.e. extra choruses, etc). Their version is embedded in Flash which makes it difficult to copy but mine are easy to grab in a simple HTML file!

01. Goodbye Ordinary

I wonder when we first bought into this
So satisfied with status quo
Have we convinced ourselves that this is all there is
Well all that is within me says we were meant to break free

Live like there's no tomorrow
Love extravagantly
Lead a life to be followed
Goodbye ordinary
Goodbye ordinary

We were never meant to compromise
Settle for mediocrity
This life was never meant to be a waste of time
Well all that is within me says no more just existing

Live like there's no tomorrow
Love extravagantly
Lead a life to be followed
Goodbye ordinary
Goodbye ordinary

No more complacency
No more just settling this time
Goodbye to atrophy
For we were meant to be alive
Alive
Alive

Live like there's no tomorrow
Love extravagantly
Live like there's no tomorrow
Love extravagantly
Lead a life to be followed
Oh, Goodbye ordinary
Goodbye ordinary

02. Time Has Come

There is a season for everything
There is a reason for all things here on earth
Every second of every moment
Seems to have its worth

Rest assured life's not in vain
For all things work here for His fame

Time has come
To raise our hearts as one
And glorify the God of everything
We live our lives
For the renown of Christ
Oh, we are children of the sovereign King

From the moment of our first breath
To the second we bid this world goodbye
And everything that is in between
Was made to magnify

The One who holds all things in place
The ruler over time and space

Time has come
To raise our hearts as one
And glorify the God of everything
We live our lives
For the renown of Christ
Oh, we are children of the sovereign King

Time has come
To raise our hearts as one
And glorify the God of everything
We live our lives
For the renown of Christ
Oh, we are children of the sovereign King

Time has come
To raise our hearts as one
And glorify the God of everything
We live our lives
For the renown of Christ
Oh, we are children of the sovereign King

03. I Know

Where do I begin with what to say
I've played this conversation in my head so many times
I'm certainly not claiming to know everything
But what I do will save your life

I know, I know that God is able
I know, I know that He still reigns
I know, I know that Love has found a way

No matter what it is you're going through
Even if you think you're far beyond where hope can see
I know there is a hand that's reaching out for you
Because He did the same for me

I know, I know that God is able
I know, I know that He still reigns
I know, I know that Love has found a way

It wasn't that long ago when my own world fell apart, it fell apart
And everything inside of me said to let go, you must let go
I found myself crying out to the One who knows my heart, He knows your heart
And holding tight to the few things that I know, few things that I know

I know, I know
I know that Love has found a way

I know, I know that God is able
I know, I know that He still reigns
I know, I know that Love has found a way

Oh
He has made a way

04. God With Us

Who are we
That You would be mindful of us
What do You see
That's worth looking our way

We are free
In ways that we never should be
Sweet release
From the grip of these chains

Like hinges straining from the weight
My heart no longer can keep from singing

All that is within me cries
For You alone be glorified
Emmanuel
God with us

My heart sings a brand new song
The debt is paid these chains are gone
Emmanuel
God with us

Lord You know
Our hearts don't deserve Your glory
Still You show
A love we cannot afford

Like hinges straining from the weight
My heart no longer can keep from singing

All that is within me cries
For You alone be glorified
Emmanuel
God with us

My heart sings a brand new song
The debt is paid these chains are gone
Emmanuel
God with us

Such a tiny offering compared to Calvary
Nevertheless we lay it at Your feet
Such a tiny offering compared to Calvary
Nevertheless we lay this at Your feet

All that is within me cries
For You alone be glorified
Emmanuel
God with us

My heart sings a brand new song
My debt is paid these chains are gone
Emmanuel
God with us

05. Sanctified

Let there be no condemnation
For all who are fully known in Christ
Unspeakable grace for all the nations
By way of holy sacrifice

We worship with the sound
Of broken shackles
Falling to the ground

Sanctified, I have been set free
Grace divine, has swept me off my feet

No greater love has ever been known
Than He who came to find the lost
No greater sacrifice has been shown
Than He who laid upon the cross

Let all creation sing for He has come
And He's changed everything

Sanctified, I have been set free
Grace divine, has swept me off my feet
Yeah, yeah

Grace divine, has swept me off my feet
And I know that I will never be the same
And I know that I will never be the same
And I know that I'll never be the same
And I know that I'll never be the same

Sanctified, I have been set free
Grace divine, has swept me off my feet

And I know that I will never be the same
And I know that I'll never be the same
And I know, yes, I know, I'll never be the same
And I know that I will never be the same

06. You Reign

Even before there was a drop in the ocean
Even before there was a star in the sky
Even before the world was put in motion
You were on Your throne
You were on Your throne

You reign
Glory in the highest
You reign
Let creation testify by Your name
Every knee will bow and every tongue proclaim
That Jesus reigns

Even before Your hand made the heavens
Even before the breath of all mankind
Even before we had to be forgiven
You were on Your throne
You were on Your throne

You reign
Glory in the highest
You reign
Let creation testify by Your name
Every knee will bow and every tongue proclaim
That Jesus reigns

Yesterday, today and forever
You are God who was, and is, and is to come

You reign
Glory in the highest
You reign

You reign
Glory in the highest
You reign
Let creation testify by Your name
Every knee will bow and every tongue proclaim
Let every tongue proclaim
Let every tongue proclaim
That Jesus reigns

07. Grace Tells Another Story

They say don't waste your time
You simply cannot find
An ounce of good within the heart of man

They say we've got to lay
In the bed we've made
And live life without a second chance

But I'm inclined to say
There must be something more

We've been told that the heart is just too far gone to save
But Grace tells us another story
Where glory sends hopelessness away
Oh Grace tells us another story

They say we cannot change
There is no other way
Get used to it cause this is all there is

They say don't raise your voice
Cause we don't have a choice
We're dealt this hand so learn to live with it

Well I have to believe
There must be something more

We've been told that the heart is just too far gone to save
But Grace tells us another story
Where glory sends hopelessness away
Oh Grace tells us another story

And though we may not understand
Why You'd give us another chance
We praise You who lets us start again

We've been told that the heart is just too far gone to save
But Grace tells us another story
Where glory sends hopelessness away
Oh Grace tells us another story

Oh the heart is just too far gone to save
Oh Grace tells us another story
Where glory sends hopelessness away
Oh Grace tells us another story

08. Alright

If you had a dime for every time it rained
On this parade you're marching in called life
You'd start to wonder if someone out there's got your number
Well, hold your head up, breathe in deep, remember

Ooh, ooh, you know it's gonna be alright
Ooh, ooh, you know it's gonna be alright

We're gonna have those days when it all comes crashing in
Wondering if the sun will ever shine
Before you go and convince yourself you cannot make it
Well, hold your head up, breathe in deep, remember

Ooh, ooh, you know it's gonna be alright
Ooh, ooh, you know it's gonna be alright
There's a love much stronger than everything that holds you down right now
Sayin', ooh, ooh, you know it's gonna be alright

So next time when you tell yourself this isn't worth it
Hold your head up, breathe in deep, remember

Ooh, ooh, you know it's gonna be alright
Ooh, ooh, you know it's gonna be alright
Well there's a love much stronger than everything that holds you down right now
Sayin', ooh, ooh, you know it's gonna be alright

Well there's a love much stronger no matter what holds you down right now
Sayin', ooh, ooh, you know it's gonna be alright
Yeah, it's gonna be alright
It's gonna be, it's gonna be alright

Count it pure joy when the whole world comes crashin'
Hold you head up and keep on dancin'

09. My Heart Will Fly

Why this happened I cannot explain
Why write the script with such heartache and pain
Could there not have been an easier way

Watching life through this glass so faded
I cannot see the bigger picture taking place
Oh, to understand one day

My heart will fly
When I finally see You face to face
And my tears will fly
Away, away

It won't be long until we all go home
With all things revealed and on that day we'll finally know
Oh, as we are fully known

My heart will fly
When I finally see you face to face
And my tears will fly
Away, away

And what appears as incomplete
Is still completely Yours
And one day we'll see as we've been seen
And, we'll soar

My heart will fly
When I finally see You face to face
And my tears will fly
Away, away
And my heart will fly

10. Finally Home

I'm gonna wrap my arms around my daddy's neck
And tell him that I've missed him

And tell him all about the man that I became
And hope that it pleased him

There's so much I want to say
There's so much I want you to know

When I finally make it home
When I finally make it home

Then I'll gaze upon the throne of the King
Frozen in my steps

And all the questions that I swore I would ask
Words just won't come yet

So amazed at what I've seen
So much more than this old mind can hold

When I finally make it home
When I finally make it home

And the sweetest sound my ears have yet to hear
Voices of the angels

When I finally make it home
When I finally make it home
