Verse 1
Life is full of light and shadow
O the joy and O the sorrow
O the sorrow

Pre-Chorus
And yet will He bring
Dark to light
And yet will He bring
Day from night

Chorus
When shadows fall on us
We will not fear
We will remember

When darkness falls on us
We will not fear
We will remember

When all seems lost
When we’re thrown and we’re tossed
We’ll remember the cost
We’re resting in the
Shadow of the cross

With every breath I take, every heart beat
Sunrise and the moon lights in the dark street
Every glance, every dance, every note of a song
All a gift undeserved that I shouldn’t have known
Every moment I lie, Every moment I covet
I’m deserving to die, I’m earning your judgment
I, without the cross there’s only condemnation
If Jesus wasn’t executed there’s no celebration
So in times that are good, in times that are bad
For any time I’ve had it all I will be glad
And I will boast in the cross, I boast in His name
I will boast in the sunshine, boast in His reign (rain)
What’s my life if it’s not praising You
Another dollar in my bank account of vain pursuit, I do
That count my life as any value or precious at all
Let me finish my race, let me answer Your call

[Hook]
Go Hard or Go Home(2xs)
Lord Use Me Up(2xs)

[Verse 1: Lecrae]
Lord kill me If I don’t preach the gospel
I’m still in my 20′s- but I’ll die if I got to
Eh man I”m Already dead- man forget my flesh
I done been crossed over, see the full court press
I’m a full court mess if the Lord don’t use me
Running from my trials thinkin’ everythangs groovy
If the Cross don’t move me then I don’t wanna breath no mo
If I ain’t seeing Christ potna I don’t wanna see no mo
Rep Him every day without worrying about bruising
I been to china mayne I seen some real persecution
If U didn’t know Christ would ya life look the same
Can they tell you value Jesus by the way you rep his name?
man what’s the point of living if Im living for myself
Lord empty out my life before I put you on the shelf
So for God I got Hard I don’t wanna die tonight
But It’s too many people living who ain’t heard about the Christ

Go Hard or Go Home(2xs)
Lord Use Me Up(2xs)

[Verse 2: Lecrae]
Went to Asia had to duck and hide-for sharin’ my faith
They tell me water it down when I get back to states
They say tone the music down you might sell a lot a records
But it’s people out here dying and none of em heard the message
Took my wifey on mission trip – in central america
Shared her testimony 40 people stood and stared at her
When she said Jesus shoulda seen it was insane
cause 40 out of 40 never heard of Jesus name
Aw mayne we ain’t focused on the war we just kickin’ it
worried bout our image and our space up on the internet
take me out the game coach I don’t wanna play no mo
If cant give it all I got and leave it out there on the court
Thank you for the Grace for the will and the desire
got me living for your glory stead of living to retire
But I pray I’ll never tire of going hard for Messiah
I don’t need no motivation You the reason I’m inspired.

[Verse 3: Tedashii]
Go Hard for the Lord baby ’til He takes us home
Go Hard for the Father baby go on get it on
That’s what that is baby/that what that mean/that what that mean
That what That is baby/That what that mean/that what that mean
Wha-What that mean?
That mean that we, should be out up in the streets
Not just in houses with our bible’s summarizing what we read
Man this ain’t deep (man this ain’t deep)/why we ain’t doing what we read
Its like we sleep (its like we sleep)
But sinners sleepwalk when they sleep
So why can’t we (so why can’t we)/the redeemed of the LORD
Act out, what He said/and make a scene for the LORD
Action-cut, say what, like we was the director
But you better get a Grip like movie sets, and get to stepping/(Martin)
I know you done it/da-done it, da-done-and heard it all
You was going hard for the Lord before you heard this song
But don’t play yourself to save ya self/and walk in fear
Scripture’s like a mirror/the truth is closer than it appears

Hook:
I could play the background
I could play the background
‘Cause I know sometimes I get in the way
So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
So won’t You take the lead, lead, lead?
And I could play the background, background
And you could take the lead

Verse 1:
It’s evident you run the show, so let me back down
You take the leading role, and I’ll play the background
I know I miss my cues, know I forget my lines
I’m sticking to your script, and I’m reading all your signs (Aye)
I don’t need my name in lights, (Aye) I don’t need a starring role
Why gain the whole wide world, If I’m just going lose my soul?
And my ways ain’t purified, I don’t live according to Your Word
I can’t endure this life without Your wisdom being heard
So word to every dancer for a pop star
‘Cause we all play the background, but mine’s a rockstar
Yeah, so if you need me I’ll be staged right
Praying the whole world would start embracing stage fright
So let me fall back, stop giving my suggestions
‘Cause when I follow my obsessions, I end up confessin’
That I’m not that impressive, matter of fact
I’m who I are, a trail of stardust leading to the superstar

Verse 2:
Yo, I had a dream that I was captain of my soul
I was master of my fate, lost control, and then I sank
So I don’t want to take the lead, ’cause I’m prone to make mistakes
All these folks who follow me, goin’ end up in the wrong place
So just let me shadow you, just let me trace your lines
Matter of fact, just take my pen, here, you create my rhymes
‘Cause if I do this by myself, I’m scared that I’ll succeed
And no longer trust in You, ’cause I only trust in me
And see, that’s how you end up headed to destruction
Paving a road to nowhere, pour your life out for nothin’
You pulled my card, I’m bluffin’, You know what’s in my hand
Me, I just roll and trust you, You cause the dice to land
I’m in control of nothing, follow You at any cost
Some call it sovereign will, all I know is you the boss
And man, I’m so at ease, I’m so content
I’ll play the background, like it’s an instrument

Hook:

Bridge:
I know I’m safest when I’m in Your will, and trust Your Word
I know I’m dangerous when I trust myself, my vision blurred
And I ain’t got no time to play life’s foolish games
Got plenty aims, but do they really Glorify Your name?
And it’s a shame, the way I want to do these things for You, yeah
Don’t even cling to you, take time to sit and glean from You
It seems like You were patient in my ignorance
If ignorance is bliss, it’s ’cause she never heard of this
