Lyrics
All I ask
(Soroski)
�2000 Hourglass Ministries(ASCAP)
I see the leaves outside are changing I think that I've been changing
too
And it seems that I've been learning So many things I thought I
knew
And I just want to be a servant Just to be a Godly man
To be molded
in Your image This is all I ask
When a man becomes a father
Then he begins to understand
How a little girl becomes a lady
How a little boy becomes a man
And Lord I pray You bless my children
And pray they will be equal to the task
Grant them wisdom and discernment
This is all I ask
I do not ask for a life that's easy
Lord I only ask for strength
I do not ask for all the answers
Lord I only ask for faith
All I ask of You is to be faithful to the promises You've made
Now my wife and I grow quiet As we're turning
out the lights
And we kneel down with our children And say their prayers with
them at night
And their tiny lips speak tiny prayers The words I know that
Jesus understands
May they not outgrow this simple faith This is all I ask

Nothing Without You
(Jason and Jana Soroski)
�2006 Hourglass Ministries (ASCAP)
Everything that I am
Everything that I have
Is Nothing Without You
Nothing Without You
Everything I can give
The best life that I try to live
Everything I do
Shows me my need for You
I'm Nothing Without You
Nothing Without You
Why do I try on my own?
Why am I still on the throne?
When I'm Nothing Without You
Nothing Without You
There's nothing profound I can say
You're still the potter and I'm just the clay
All of my hopes and dreams
All of my best laid schemes
Are Nothing Without You
Nothing Without You
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength
I can even move a mountain by my faith
But the things I do without You are in vain
And my strength comes from the power of Your Name
I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength
I can even move a mountain by my faith
But the things I do without You are in vain
And my strength comes from the power of Your Name
Nothing Without You
Nothing Without You
Oh, Jesus, I am Nothing Without You

Live to Worship You
(Soroski)
�2006 Hourglass Ministries(ASCAP)
Lord I live my life
To worship at Your throne
And Lord I live my life
To follow where You go
Lord I live my life
As a sacrifice of praise
Lord I live my life
To glorify Your Name
You saved me with Your blood
You saved me with Your Love
You have saved my wandring soul
You have changed and made me whole
You saved me through Your grace
Brought me to Your Holy place
How could I not live to worship You?

Come Unto Me
(Soroski)
�2007 Hourglass Ministries(ASCAP)
I'll be your strength when you are weak
I'll be your voice when you can't speak
I'll be a song for you to sing
If you'll Come Unto Me
When life is dark I'll be your light
When things are wrong I'll make it right
When you haven't got a friend in sight
Just Come Unto Me
Enough of the loneliness
No more of the sadness
When you're tired of living life like this
Come Unto Me
When life is cold I'll keep you warm
I'll be the calm inside your storm
I'm everything you're looking for
Just Come Unto Me
Enough of the loneliness
Away with the restlessness
No more of the emptiness
Come Unto Me
Come Unto Me, all you who are weary
And I will give you rest
Come Unto Me, My burden is easy
And I will give you rest
If you're looking for faithfulness
I'm offering forgiveness
A brand new life could start like this
Come Unto Me

But now I've found the way that's right
Cause now I know it's the Narrow Road that leads to life

St. Patrick's Breastplate
(Soroski)
�2006 Hourglass Ministries(ASCAP)
V1 (repeat)Chirst be with me, Christ within me,
Christ behind me, Christ before me,
Christ beside me, Christ to win me,
Christ to comfort and restore me
V2 Christ beneath me, Christ above me,
Christ in quiet, Christ in danger,
Christ in hearts of all that love me,
Christ in words of friend and stranger.
In all things Christ. Christ in all things
Creation singing praise and glory to the King
Christ in my heart. Christ in my eyes
Christ bringing purpose hope and meaning to thislife.
In all things Christ.
(note: there is a story behind the unique title of this song! The lyrics are derived from a prayer traditionally attributed to St. Patrick, although this authenticity is uncertain. Since the ninth century, this has been referred to as the "breastplate" prayer, because the prayer as a whole is a prayer of protection and encouragement in light of Paul's instructions to "put on the breastplate of righteousness." Regardless of whether Patrick wrote them or not, these words are poignant and unique.)

Forgive Me
(Soroski)
�2005 Hourglass Ministries(ASCAP)
I'd like to sing a song of my devotion
Tales of mountians moved and walking on the ocean
But like Peter I've denied You
Even though I swore I'd fight
And Heaven only knows I'm not the man I claim to be
And I'd love to sing a song of my great faith
Of how I've trusted You
And never went astray
But like Thomas I have doubted
There can be no doubt about it
And Heaven only knows I'm not the man they see in me
So forgive me when I fail You
When the words I speak betray You
Forgive me Jesus just as if
I know not what I do
Forgive me when I don't trust You
When I'm trusting in myself
And there's nowhere left to go but to my knees
Forgive Me
I'd like to sing about my servant's heart
Of the souls I've won, and seas that I've watched part
But like Jonah I've run away
But the trials of life all stay
And Heaven only knows I'm not the man I'm called to be
So forgive me when I fail You
When the words I speak don't praise You
Forgive me Jesus even though
I know exactly what I do
Forgive me when I don't trust You
When I'm trusting in myself
And there's nowhere left to go but to my knees
Forgive Me
What can separate us
From the perfect love of Christ?
My flesh and my heart may fail
but You are the strength Who gives me life
You forgave me though I've failed You
With the pounding of each nail
driven deep through hands of innocence
Just to save a wretch like me
You have laid Your life down for me
You have searched me
Lord You know me
And made me more than I could ever hope to be
You forgave me

There is Nothing
(Soroski)
�2005
Hourglass Ministries(ASCAP)
There is nothing that You do not know
There is nowhere that You cannot go
There is nothing that can separate us
from the love You show
There's no circumstance beyond Your reach
There's no heart Your words can't mold and teach
There is nothing that's impossible
When we put our trust in You
Jesus there is nothing You can't do.
You are Holy
And we Glorify Your Name
You are Faithful
Through the darkest of our days
You are righteous, merciful, compassionate and true
Jesus there is nothing You can't do
There is no wall You cannot bring down
There's no life that You can't turn around
There is nothing that's impossible
When we put our trust in You
Jesus there is nothing You can't do
You are Holy
And we Glorify Your Name
You are Faithful
Through the darkest of our days
You are righteous, merciful, compassionate and true
Jesus there is nothing You can't do

There's one name that brings us power
Just one name that gives us strength

The name by which we might be saved
All my days
I will praise
And sing the Name
The name of Jesus
One name worthy of our worship (Jesus)

Hourglass Lyrics (1997-2001)
Hourglass was a terrific band that was huge around St. Louis back in the day. These lyrics are from our first and only studio album "Don't Let Me Forget", and even now some of them are still pretty good!

Let it flow
(Soroski/Yates)
�2000 Hourglass Ministries (ASCAP)
I've been hot and cold, Been bought
and sold
Where my choices had left me
I've been up and down, Now the lost
one found
When I reached for your hand of mercy
You are the light Breaking
the ice that had formed
Formed on my soul
Faith is a prayer taking me
where my heart,
Heart wouldn't go So let it flow
Let it flow
I've been
filled with doubt Been tossed about
On the waves of deception
But You took
the sin that chained me
When you bought my redemption
You are the light
Breaking the ice that had formed
Formed on my soul
Faith is a prayer
taking me where my heart,
Heart wouldn't go
So let it flow
Let it
flow
You are the light Breaking the ice that had formed
Formed on my
soul
Faith is a prayer taking me where my heart,
Heart wouldn't go
So
let it flow
Let your praises flow

Tell me the stories
(Soroski)
�2000 Hourglass Ministries (ASCAP)
Tell me the stories of a carpenter by trade
He gave his life that the
world might be saved
Cause I wanna know how the multitudes were fed
How he
gave them living water how he gives us living bread
Oh tell me the stories
How Jesus walked across the raging sea
Tell me the stories Of the shepherds
in the fields
and the lepers who were healed By the man who walked the shores
of Galilee
Tell me the stories of the cross of Calvary
how Jesus Christ
was crucifed and rose again for the world to see
Cause I wanna know of the
light that shines on men
How the Son of God is still alive and coming back
again
Oh tell me the stories of a man who once was blind but now can see
O
tell me the stories of the shepherds in the fields
And the lepers who were
healed by the man who walked the shores of Gailee
Tell me the stories how
Jesus walked across the raging sea

Don't Let Me Forget
(Soroski)
�2000 Hourglass
Ministries (ASCAP)
When I wake to each new morning reminded of your mercy and your
grace
Knowing that I'm not consumed knowing I am held by love's
embrace
Yet I find myself distracted and led astray, by all these earthly
things
Yet even when I fall, think I've blown it all
You have not
forgotten me
yet in spite of all my guilt for my sake your blood was
spilt
How can I forget
That in spite of all my shame You took my place,
You bore my pain Don't let me forget
You said the least would be the greatest
blessed are the peaceful and the meek
Yet I trust in my own strength and it's
hard for me to turn the other cheek
So renew in me the passion to fan the
flame that once burned bright in me
Fix my eyes on the crown of life that
waits for those who believe
For in spite of all my guilt for my sake Your
blood was spilt
Your mercy knows no end
And in spite of all my shame You
took my place You bore my pain
Don't let me forget
For in spite of all my
guilt for my sake Your blood was spilt
Don't let me, don't let me forget

Broken hearts belong
(Soroski)
�2000 Hourglass Ministries (ASCAP)
A broken family A broken heart A broken promise It's tearing her apart
She
looks for the answers Looks for truth Looks to the Savior to offer any proof
That there's a better life
When it seems that hope is gone
Cause it must
be a cold and lonely place Where broken hearts belong
He was torn for the
broken Beaten for the bruised Mocked for the timid Wearing servants shoes
He
died for the doubting Bearing scars that show Greater love has no man seen nor
shall we ever know
For a life that's gone wrong He's reaching out to lead you
to the place Where broken hearts belong
He died to set the captives free If
only we will just believe the things that He said
He goes to prepare a place
Where every tear is wiped away There will be no more pain
He takes a broken
heart of stone Makes of it a heart of gold Because He loves us so
It's this
kind of love That can change the saddest song
It's this love that leads you
to the place Where broken hearts belong
He's reaching out to lead you to a
place where broken hearts belong

Masquerade
(Soroski)
�2000 Hourglass Ministries (ASCAP)
Money and power ain't gonna buy you love
Someday maybe you'll see it's not
enough
Now don�t you think it's time to change your ways
No more hidin no
No more livin' this masquerade This masquerade
You know your faith is useless
lyin on a shelf
You know that you're not foolin' nobody but
yourself
Choose this day which master you will serve
When you play with
fire you know that you'll get burnt
Treasures of this world will soon be left
behind
Don't you think it's time to make up your mind
Don't waste a life
that Jesus died to save
No more hidin no No more livin' this
masquerade
This masquerade

I Know
(Soroski/Yates)
�2000 Hourglass Ministries (ASCAP)
Jesus said, if I'm lifted up I will draw all men uto Me
Well you know He
was lifted up On the cross for you and me
And I know I need a Savior To fill
this hole in my soul
Now I know I needed Jesus and I have been made
whole
And I know it's not enough that He died to set me free
'cause it
means nothin' if I don't believe
So now you know, yes you know, now will you
just believe?
Once we all were blind, but through Jesus we are free to
see
Don't you know it's not enough that He died to set you free?
'Cause it
means nothin' if you won't believe

Slippin' Away
(Soroski/Yates)
�2000 Hourglass Ministries(ASCAP)
Do you disagree with the things I have to say?
Hard to have an open mind when there's only just one way
Yet you fail to grasp the reason of what I proclaim
Healing can only be found when we call on Jesus name
Time is slippin' away Time is slippin' away
We're here to shine the light on what is said and done
It's time to conform our lives to the image of God's Son
For ours are the hands that will fix the damage done
Lord help us bend our knees and see Your will be done
Time is slippin' away Time is slippin' away like sand
(Return to top)
I Am Here
(Soroski/Yates)
�2000 Hourglass Ministries(ASCAP)
When your world lies in ruin
When love runs out the door
When your heart has no answers
At least the ones you were looking for
When death seems desirable
When surrenders an honorable choice
A gentle word holds no comfort
Listen harder for His voice
I am here
When the world falls down around you
When you're lost, I have found you
I am here, I am here
When you dearest friend betrays you
When no one will hold your hand
When your feet give way beneath you
This is when to stand
When quitting is an option
When you cannot fight at all
When you�re weary from confusion
Take strength when you hear Him call
I am here
When the world falls down around you
When you're lost, I have found you
I am here, let no circumstances bind you
Hear me calling out to guide you, and let My love remind you I am here
There are those who have fallen And there are those on their knees
And we have been chosen And God won't ignore our pleas
I am here
When the world falls down around you
When you're lost, I have found you
I am here, let no circumstances bind you
Hear me calling out to guide you, and let My love remind you I am here

Don't Let Me Forget(Reprise)
(Soroski/Yates)
�2000 Hourglass Ministries(ASCAP)
In a sea of souls living as though they are dead
Emptied out like the grave You left
Crying out for the life I have found
in You alone Longing to be fed
Upon life's winding road where darkness meets Your light
I will proclaim You as Redeemer, Sustainer, Forever my God
Salt and light, striving to fight the good fight
Open my eyes and don't let me forget
