All song lyrics for "We Are The Monks"

Walking on the Water

I was a fisherman on the open water

These working hands brought life to me

Until the One who said, "Come and follow

And I'll show you life you've never dreamed."

Chorus

Then I found myself walking on the water

Found my heart open like the sea

Fell in love with a holy fire

This long time captive is finally free

Just like Peter we're meant to follow

And find His love so beautiful

So when I call on Jesus every morning

I know all things are possible

Chorus

Bridge

Lord I bow down at Your feet

As I give my all to Thee

Precious is Your love divine

You gave Your life and I give you mine

Chorus

My Help

Grace, hope, love, power and peace
Have come forth to set this captive free!
The evidence of these have clearly shown
That I will never walk this life alone.

Pre-chorus
Where does my help come from?

Chorus
From the Great I Am
The perfect Son of Man
The keeper of my soul
My help comes from the Lord.

Where blinded eyes can now behold the light
Where broken ones can finally feel alive
Where hope is real and peace not far away
An ever present love for all our days

Pre-chorus & chorus

So until the day my Father takes me home
Every breath I'll spend to make Him known
I will not stop until my race is won
Because I know where my help comes from

Chorus 

Stronger

I'm stronger than I was before

When the devil comes around my door I know

I'll still be singing

He'll throw at me all of his sticks and stones

And try to collect all the broken bones but believe me

I won't be breaking

Chorus

'Cause I've been to the river

I've washed in the water and love is making me over

I found my strength in the God of lights where broken hearts can come to life

And love is making me stronger

I know that God is watching over me

Mountains move and so do the seas

I used to run on my own but those days are over

This blessing sitting by my side, with a heart of gold and beautiful eyes

I wouldn't be where I am if I was without her

Chorus

So many things I can't wait to see

Like two of us turning into three

As we write the stories we've always dreamed of

And every day I get down on my knees and pray to God that He sees me

As I do my best to be His reflection

Chorus

Here We Go

Hand in hand and away we go

You've got my heart and I love you so

God with us and the devil cowers

Ain't nothing gonna shake this love of ours

Chorus

Here we go

Hand in hand and we'll never be alone

So much life for you and I to know

Here we go

We hold on tight ready for the ride

As we tackle this world side by side

Across the plains and over the mountains

You and me and the bright horizons

Chorus

Bridge

To places we have yet to see with fire in our eyes

With hopes and dreams enough to fill every corner of the skies

With God watching over us leading all the way

As we make our plans and build our lives each and every day

Here we go

Here we go

Hand in hand and we'll never be alone

Here we go

Side by side we'll make this house into a home

So much love for you and I to grow

Here we go

These Arms

These arms were made to hold you, to comfort and keep you warm

They were made to shelter and love you forever

These arms were made to carry you on

Chorus

So when you go and see, when you do and be, and take this world by storm

You'll always find a place in my warm embrace

'Cause these arms were made to be your home

Oh the roads that you will travel and the things you'll see and do

From the highest mountain to the furthest sea

These arms will always find you

Chorus

So with every second of all my days, until I take my last breath

I will love you no matter where you are

Please don't you ever forget

Chorus



Slow Dance
I grew up in a mobile house
I know all about hand to mouth
But you ain't gonna hear me complain
Our journey can shape and mold
Makes us stronger from head to toe
If you listen and learn along the way

Chorus
On this slow dance, lifelong romance
The highs, the lows and every turn in the road
Can lead you right where you belong
Can lead you right where you belong

I've learned a lot on bended knee
How to hope and how to see
Through the fog and the rain when it comes my way
I've seen God's hand in my story
His amazing grace, His amazing glory
I would never re-write a thing

Chorus

Bridge
All the lines worn in these hands
Have turned this boy into a man
All the things they've lived and seen
You know I would never want to change a thing

Chorus

Heavy Load

When I'm lost in darkness

And cannot find my way

And troubles they just seem to grow

I know I'm not alone You're with me everyday

So You is where I rest my soul

Chorus

Love my love, God of all that is and was!

Healer and my keeper this I know.

When my heart won't sing, from the weight that life may bring,

Please take from me this heavy load.

I know the days will come with winds of pain they blow,

And try to steal my joy away.

But I will be reminded of the hope I know

And in that I will ever stay!

Chorus

So teach me how to pray and show me how to grow,

That I may see more of Your heart.

So I can make you known in places I may go

And the world will see how good You are!

Chorus

Rise

He is waiting with arms opened up
For all who hunger and thirst for more of His peace, truth and love
Hearts afire, we gather in His name
The strong and the weak and all who seek, let us find our song today

Chorus
Hey people rise, lift one voice
Sing, sing it loud, a joyful noise
That our God is alive and here to revive
And mend every wounded soul
Hey people rise, rise and sing

Every sin upon Him was laid
But death could not win He stood up again
And He rolled the stone away
Now all sons and daughters can rest in their souls and be free
So let's go high and low and let our voices grow
Until all have heard and seen

Chorus

Bridge: (3X)
We sing hallelujah all as one
As we lift our voice
Praises to the Holy One
We make a joyful noise
