I Will Sing a New Song
words and music by Joe Choi (2010)
I will sing a new song
Many will come to know and fear the LORD
[twice]
I will shout it
I will shout it out loud
[three times]
I will not keep it hidden within my heart
No...
I will not be ashamed
To call on Your Name and be Your child
[twice]
I will shout it
I will shout it out loud
[three times]
I will not keep it hidden within my heart
No...
For a city, a city on a hill
Was never meant to be hidden
Still why do I try to hide this light
You've put inside?
So I will sing a brand new song
I'll open my lungs and sing
I'm gonna sing
With all I've got
I will shout it
I will shout it out loud
[three times]
I will not keep it hidden within my heart
No...
I will shout it
[some yea yea's and such]
I will not keep it hidden within my heart
No...

Awake
words and music by Joe Choi (2010)
It's that feelin' that I get when You call my name
I come alive every time You remind me of who I am
[twice]
Remind me of who I am...
Awake O my soul
And find
Open arms of love of an Awesome God
Who reminds you, you are never alone
Yes, I am never alone
It's that comfort in Your calm words
That opens these eyes
Your quiet whispers are like thunder in the night
When I need to hear Your voice
[twice]
I need to hear Your voice....

Open arms of love of an Awesome God
Who reminds you, you are never alone

Yes, I am never alone

Your quiet whispers are like thunder in the night
When I need to hear Your voice

Daylight
words and music by Joe Choi (2010)
Daylight creeps in through my windows, under my doorway
And hope comes in shades of color overtaking my black and gray
Vibrantly replacing somehow, all the pain
You are my Morning Star
You are my Sun
Your love, it's what keeps me warm
With You I can face this day
Believe in the promises You made
They're no longer just empty words on a page
Your love keeps me alive
I'm so alive
Your love keeps me alive
The stars roll out like a blanket across my cold black sky
And I feel warmth in my lungs
Gives me a new song that I can sing
Yes You give me a song to sing
You are my Morning Star
You are my Sun
Your love, it's what keeps me warm
With You I can face this day
Believe in the promises You made
They're no longer just empty words on a page
Your love keeps me alive
I'm so alive
Your love keeps me alive
Stars shine opening up windows of light
Daylight comes causing my shadows to flee from the sun
My healing comes on the shoulders, on the wings of the dawn
My new day has come
My new day has come
I'm so alive
I'm so alive
Your love makes me alive
Makes me so alive
I'm so alive
Your love makes me alive
Makes me so alive
Daylight creeps in

This Day
words and music by Joe Choi (2010)
This day, this day is mine
Is mine for the taking
This day, this day is sacred
This day, this day can be
Can be so significant
This day, I must be open
To realize
That this day the LORD has made
I will rejoice
And be glad in it
Glad in it
Glad in it
This day, this day is now
It's not for tomorrow
Nor the days, the days that feel wasted
This day, this day is bright
Even with a clouded sky
This day, we can take it together, and sing!
This day the LORD has made
I will rejoice
And be glad in it
Glad in it
Glad in it
And seize this day, I will
Seize this day, I will
Seize this day, I will
Seize this day, I will
I will

I Choose Joy!
words and music by Joe Choi (2010)
The joy of the LORD is a healing fountain
Opens the eyes, heals the broken mind
The joy of the LORD is an open window
Gives choice for more light and that choice is mine
And I choose joy!
A spring and a fountain
Flowing through the desert
Bringing it back to life
And I choose joy!
Like a river in the mountains
Brings a new perspective
To all who are dry
I choose joy
The joy of the LORD is new beginning
Makes way for the day to start again
The joy of the LORD is Heaven's wisdom
To laugh even when it makes no sense
And I choose joy!
A spring and a fountain
Flowing through the desert
Bringing it back to life
And I choose joy!
Like a river in the mountains
Brings a new perspective
To all who are dry
I choose joy
The choice is before me
The choice is mine
To have joy
To want joy
To see it in my life
The choice is before me
The choice is mine
To have joy
To want joy
To rise above my circumstances
And find the strength I need again to fly
Find the strength I need again to fly
O and fly
And I choose joy!
A spring and a fountain
Flowing through the desert
Bringing it back to life
And I choose joy!
Like a river in the mountains
Brings a new perspective
To all who are dry
I choose joy
I choose joy
[a bunch of times]
Now I've got joy
I've got joy
[bunch of times]
Joy
[lots of joys and joy]

Christina's Song
words and music by Joe Choi (2007)
I heard it takes some time to get to know someone
Well I can't wait, to get to know ya
To spend my life by your side
And watch that time, just fly by
I want to be your best friend
Your confidant
Someone you can always trust
You can tell me your secrets
Share your greatest weakness
You're gonna find acceptance always
I promise
O my love
It is truth
That I love you
It's not just a feeling that will pass away
It's a choice I make everyday
To articulate how to say
"I love you"
I truly do
So let's grow old together and laugh about it
And travel around the world
And tell them how we got through it
Let's make sense together like two pennies
And watch God use us to make some change
O my love
It is truth
That I love you
It's not just a feeling that will pass away
It's a choice I make everyday
To articulate how to say
"I love you"
I truly do
When I say "I do"
It really means I do
I'm gonna love you
Cause I always get to choose to
When I say "I will"
It really means I will
I'm gonna love you
I'm gonna love you
Because I always get to choose to

Mystery
words and music by Joe Choi (2008)
You see right through me
You know all about me
You know me more than I know myself
And you surround me like a blanket
You make these cold bones feel so warm
And O, my Mystery
O how You know me
And O, You come to me
And You never leave
Like the morning sun
Chases the night away
Your love chases all my fears
You open up Your arms
You find me when it's dark
I run to You and I am safe
And O, my Mystery
O how You know me
And O, You come to me
And You never leave
O You come to me
You comfort me
You hold me and You never leave
O Mystery, my Mystery
How You know me
And You love me
[twice]
O
And O, my Mystery
O how You know me
And O, You come to me
And You never leave
O You come to me
You comfort me
You hold me and You never leave
O Mystery, my Mystery
How You know me and You love me

Five Minutes
words and music by Joe Choi (2010)
Five minutes could mean life to these bones
Even just a moment could mean life to this soul
It could mean life
It could mean life
To these bones
To this soul
Just a few words could speak life to these bones
Even just a whisper could scream life into this soul
It could mean life
It could mean life
To these bones
To this soul
Cause I'm so hungry
I'm so thirsty
My soul is crying out
[repeats]
[Most of this from here on is spontaneous...]
Though winter chill tries to freeze me still
I will choose to trust You
And my hope will not become like the dust
Though nothing else lives, I know that will
My eyes are on You
My eyes are on You
What else can I do but keep my eyes on You?
I'm waiting on You
I'm waiting on You
What else can I do but keep my eyes, keep my hope in You
I will taste and see how You are so good
See how blessed I am for finding my refuge in You
I will taste and see how You are so good
See how blessed I am for finding my refuge
Finding my refuge in You
I find my refuge in You
Even if it's just for five minutes
Could mean life to these bones
Even just this moment
Could change my life
Could change my soul

I fly all through the night
