Don’t Wait feat. Angela Birchett
Written by: Phillip O’Rourke
Verse 1
Yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I will not fear
Because I know circumstances and happenstances have brought me here.
Pre-Hook
It doesn’t matter the choices that you make or a careless mistake
There is healing and forgiveness in him.
It doesn’t matter the person that you love because when you look up
All the answers they are all found in him
It doesn’t matter the army that you face you are covered with his grace
And no weapon that’s formed it won’t work.
Keep your eyes on the prize and then you’ll realize
That the devil, all his schemes seem absurd.
Hook
Don’t wait till the battle’s over. Don’t wait till the struggle ends.
Shout now. Shout now. Shout now. Shout now.
Don’t wait till you make it over. Don’t wait till the storm has past.
Shout now. Shout now. Shout now.
Verse 2
In the midst of my life I see all the times that I needed him.
And in the blink of one moment he found me and told me
That I was his friend
So no matter how high the waves or how hard the rain has knocked me down
I am firmly grounded my feet are planted on solid ground.
Pre Hook
Hook
Bridge
If God has done anything for you stop where you are and shout right now.

Better Than You Realize
Lyrics and Arrangement: Phillip O’Rourke (ASCAP)
Verse 1
Sad too far that’s what she told herself seven days a week
I’ve done it now I can’t go back repeats in her mind
Just like a dream
Sometimes you feel that it’s the end
And that your whole world is falling down, completely apart
But it will shine again
Verse 2
She made a choice to finally fall but love let her down
And now she won’t let anyone else in
No love allowed
A frustrated heart can break
But it only take one minute to realize
That everything will be ok.
Hook
If you only get one shot at love hold on don’t give up
Even if you heart it just breaks
If you only get one chance to be everything that you’ve dreamed
Then that’s a chance that you’ve gotta take
If you never do anything else, believe in yourself
And always be willing to try
It may look bad right now
But life’s better than you realize
Verse 2
(Oh love) it just doesn’t play fair
You’ve gotta take a stand
(It’s not over) It’s never too late to start
To begin again
Your destiny awaits
Don’t forfeit what’s to come, don’t just give up
Don’t throw it all away
Hook
Bridge
I know right now it seems hopeless but I promise it gets better
Even if it hurts, in time it will work out and get better
Hold on to the promise when He promised you He’ll make it better
You can make it. You can make it.
So stand up now and declare over yourself it will get better
Don’t give in to what you feel. That’s a lie and you know better
Hold on to the promise when He promised you He’ll make it better
You can make it. You can make it.
Hook

Just Wanna Be With You
Written by: Phillip O'Rourke (ASCAP)
VERSE 1
What I did I sure regret it
Let’s rewind and just forget it
I just wana to be with you
I know enough to know that I know nothing if I let you go
I just wanna be with you
I just wanna be with you x4
CHORUS
I – Oh I just wanna be with you (repeat)
VERSE 2
I’ve been to the other side
The grass ain't greener that’s a lie
I just wanna be with you
Seventy times seven is how much you love
Now I’m forgiven
I just wanna be with you
I just wanna be with you x4
HOOK
BRIDGE
Nothing can separate (our love) -repeat

You
Written by: Phillip O’Rourke (ASCAP)
Verse
I could sit and just pass the time but you still won’t be here
I could write a song, try to think of another line
But you’ll still be there – away from me.
I would get on a plane I’d drive a thousand miles
Just to have another date with you.
So I’ll stay inside and I’ll never go out
So nobody takes your place
The place of you
Hook
You – you’ re the one I’m thinking ‘bout
You – you’re the only one I want around
You – it’s all about you
You
You – you’re making me fall
You – but I don’t mind at all
You – it’s all about you
You – and I’m falling for you
Verse 1
It doesn’t matter how long I’ve known you
Or how many times that I’ve seen you
In my heart you’re home
Ever since I left the city you’ve been on mind
‘Cause I’m crazy for you
You’ve got me keeping my eyes closed just so I can see you
I’m crazy
Hook.

Burdens Down
Written By: Phillip O’Rourke (ASCAP)
VERSE 1
Burdens down I will leave them at the cross
Grace flows down it becomes my crown at the cross
CHORUS 1
There’s rest for the weary heart
Healing for the broken life
There’s mercy against all odds
At the cross. At the cross.
VERSE 2
I’m glory bound. I’m crucified at the cross
Blood flows down when my savior paid it all at the cross
CHORUS 2
There’s love that will not run dry
Acceptance for those cast away
There’s freedom to live not die
At the cross. At the cross
BRIDGE
It was there that I gave my life away
I’m a slave created brand new
It was there by faith I received my sight
At the cross. At the cross.
At the cross. At the cross.
VERSE 1
Burdens down I will leave them at the cross
Grace flows down it becomes my crown at the cross
CHORUS 1
There’s rest for the weary heart
Healing for the broken life
There’s mercy against all odds
At the cross. At the cross.

I MADE IT
Written by: Phillip O’Rourke (ASCAP)
Verse 1
Darkness ruled the day. I stumbled. I lost my way.
But I am here to say that I made it.
All hope was in the past. My dreams were fading fast.
I never thought I’d last but I made it.
Not strong enough to fight. I almost lost my life.
But darkness yields to light and I made it.
My soul was weakening. I had no peace within.
But that was not the end, ‘cause I made it.
Pre-Hook
I made it through the storm and the rain
Through the tears, the hurt, the years of pain
And now I have no choice but to share my life and all it’s faults
Because without His grace I wouldn’t be here at all.
Verse 2
So low I could not stand. I hated who I am
But my life - it had a plan, and I made it.
I was sinking to rise no more. Far from the peaceful shore.
But there was an open door and I made it.
Pre-Hook
Hook
I made it. I made it. I made it. I made it.
I made it. I made it. Oh oh oh oh
I made it. I made it. I made it. I made it.
I made it. I made it. Oh oh oh oh
I made it through the storm (I made it)
Through the rain (I made it)
Past the tears (I made it)
Past the pain (I made it)
I made it. I made it. Oh oh oh oh
Yes, I lived (I made it)
I didn’t die (I made it)
I’m still here (I made it)
I’m alive (I made it)
I made it. I made it. Oh oh oh oh
(Oh’s) I made it
