New CD - God's Not Done

In His Hand
Words & Music By Greta Brokaw

VERSE 1
I see exhaustion in your eyes,
I hear a spirit bound to break,
I know this road has been so hard,
But God has held you each step of the way,
With mercies new each morning,
And a future that can’t be erased,
Let me tell you where you are,
For though you feel so far away…

CHORUS
God holds you here,
In the palm of His hand,
He’s not forgotten,
He’s not forsaken,
He understands,
And every road that you have traveled,
He has somehow worked into His plan,
Child, you are treasured, and loved beyond measure,
And held forever…in His hand.

VERSE 2
So when this storm passes over,
And you feel the sun on your face,
When the trial of today is a memory,
And you’ve reached a better place,
Just remember the one thing that’s constant,
The promise that still holds true,
Your ever-loving Savior,
Is forever holding you.

BRIDGE
The winds may blow,
The waters rise,
But still I know,
He’s by your side,
Your flesh may fail,
Your friends may flee,
But when all is stripped away, I know you’ll see,

TAG
Child, you are treasured, and loved beyond measure,
And held forever…in His hand.

I’M GONNA PRAY
Words & Music By Greta M. Brokaw

VERSE 1
This mountain’s not moving,
These bones are still dry,
My heart is so heavy,
And nothing feels right,
But my God is able,
And He’ll make a way,
So just move over mountain,
Cause I’m gonna pray.

CHORUS
I’m gonna pray,
I’ve made up my mind,
Though it seems hopeless,
And though I feel helpless,
And I just wanna cry,
My God is still working,
And He’s on the throne,
He has the answer,
And I am His own,
So I’m gonna pray.

VERSE 2
Now Satan is whisp’ring,
He knows all the lies,
That echo around me,
And fill up my mind,
But I know The Life, The Truth, and The Way,
So get out of here, Satan,
Cause I’m gonna pray.

BRIDGE
My life overflows,
With amazing grace,
So I’ll fill my heart,
With a song of praise,
God’s never failed me,
And He never will,
So I will wait, and I will trust, and I will be still.

VERSE 3
When I look around me,
I can’t help but see,
So many problems,
That God fixed for me,
So many blessings,
And strength for today,
So I’m looking ahead now,
And I’m gonna pray.

FINAL CHORUS
I’m gonna pray,
I’ve made up my mind,
When it seems hopeless,
And when I feel helpless,
And I just wanna cry,
My God’s always working,
Always on His throne,
He IS the answer,
And I am His own,
So I’m gonna pray.

TAG
He is the answer,
And I am His own, So I’m gonna pray.

Don’t Take That Road
Words & Music by Greta Brokaw

Verse 1
Remember when, you took that road, 
And you left with so much promise, and your heart was filled with hope. 
But then you found, sin had a price, 
And the life that you had chosen, was killing you inside.
But the Shepherd came and found you, took you back into the fold,
And the Father ran to meet you, at the end of that same road.

Chorus
Don’t take that road. Don’t go that way.
There’s nothing there that’s worth the price you’ll have to pay.
Stay close to God. Stay by His side.
Remember all He gave to save you from that life.
Please don’t believe the lies that you’ve been told.
Don’t take that road.

Verse 2
You’ve come so far. You’ve been so blessed.
And God’s done miracles in spite of your mess.
But now sin lies, outside your door.
Temptations call you to the life you knew before.
There’s a road that beckons to you, but I beg you not to go.
Just stay here with your Father. Let His mercy be your home.

Bridge & Final Chorus
There’s a contest playing out.
And my friend, you are the prize.
There’s a battle that is raging, between death and life.
There’s an enemy who calls you, to a dark and desperate place.
And a God Who wants to hold you, as a trophy of grace.
Just seek His face.
And don’t take that road. Don’t go that way.
There’s nothing there that’s worth the price you’ll have to pay.
Stay close to God. Stay by His side.
Remember all He gave to save you from that life.
Please don’t believe the lies that you’ve been told.
And don’t take that road. Don’t take that road. Don’t take that road.

Tag
Just hold on to the God Who loves you so, And don’t take that road.

He’s Got Me
Words & Music by Greta Brokaw

VERSE 1
I woke up with the need to pray,
Thank you, Lord, for this brand new day,
Pour your mercy into my life,
Change my heart and renew my mind,
Lord, I don’t deserve anything,
But your grace makes me want to sing.

CHORUS
I’ve got a song in my heart,
I’ve got a peace in my soul,
And I don’t know what this day will bring my way,
But I know Who’s in control,
And my life’s overloaded with blessings,
When I count them I’m overwhelmed,
And I don’t know what I’ll have to face today,
But I won’t face it by myself,
Cause I’ve got Jesus,
And He’s got me.

VERSE 2
I woke up and began to read,
Felt your promises strengthen me,
Stored them up for the day ahead,
From the Bible beside my bed,
I have such a long way to go,
But I know that I’m not alone.

BRIDGE
I’m learning, and growing,
I’m not what I should be but I’m not the same,
He’s patient, and faithful,
He’s showing me all that He wants to change,
And He’s changing me. That’s why…

TAG
And He’s got me. And He’s got me. And He’s got me.

I THANK GOD
Words & Music by Greta Brokaw

VERSE 1
I was blind to my own darkness,
And lost in my own way,
Thinking somehow it would all work out at the end of the day,
But all the good that I could do,
Was never good enough,
And I needed a Savior’s love.

CHORUS
And I thank God that someone told me,
Told me I was lost,
And I thank God that someone showed me,
The way to the cross,
I thank God they did not hesitate to pull me from the fire,
And Lord, may the saving of souls, be my greatest desire.

VERSE 2
I never thought that God could love me,
For who I really am,
I never thought that He would take me,
And make me part of His plan,
But Jesus took my place and now He stands in front of me,
And when God looks down that’s all He sees.

BRIDGE
Someone took the time to care,
And someone took my hand,
Came and gave me hope and then they helped me understand.
Jesus came into my life, and ever since that day,
Nothing has been the same.

VERSE 3
So let me be the one to tell you,
Jesus is the Way,
Let me be the one to show you,
That you can be saved.
He’ll take the life you’re living now, And make it all brand new.
He changed me, and He’ll change you, too.

TAG
Oh Lord, may the saving of souls be my greatest desire.

The Mercy I Need
Words & Music by Greta Brokaw

Verse 1
I’m tired of holding onto so much pain,
Tired of always walking in the rain,
I wanna see the sun,
And just be free to run,
But the past won’t let me move on.
And yet I know that God has made a way,
He’s taken all my sin and turned my darkness into day,
But I’m still stuck,
In so much mire and mud,
And the gospel truth is just, that…

CHORUS
I must give the mercy that I need,
Cause that’s the only way I can be freed,
From the chains, and all my broken ways,
That Jesus died to take from me,
And I will live, to serve the One Who died,
Knowing I’m the one who crucified,
God’s only Son,
For everything I’ve done,
He came to give the mercy that I need.

Verse 2
My heart keeps looking for someone to blame,
For all the tears, the loneliness, the guilt, and all the shame.
But I’m the one, that so much sin came from.
And I’ve stayed here far too long.
So I will trust His promises are true,
And all who come to Him will be made new,
The past is past, I can be free at last,
And God has work for me to do, but…

BRIDGE
And every day I have to die to live,
And every day I need His grace to help me forgive,
Cause I can’t keep this bitterness inside,
Knowing that Jesus died, He died…

TAG 
Oh I needed mercy,
So I must give the mercy that I need,
The mercy I need.

He’s That Close
Words & Music by Greta Brokaw

VERSE 1
He shook his head, And closed his eyes,
He was fighting something way down deep inside.
He knew his sin, He knew his need,
But salvation’s plan was too hard to believe,
So much pain, And so much lost,
Could it really all be reckoned by a cross?
Then he spoke, With tears in his eyes,
I can hear his answer echo in my mind.

CHORUS 1
I’m this close, I’m almost there,
But I just can’t believe that God could hear my prayer,
I’m this close, But you don’t know,
Where I’ve been, what I’ve done, where I still go.
I’m not sure that God could save someone like me,
But tell me more, Cause I’m this close.

VERSE 2
I could feel the Savior near,
List’ning in to every word there was to hear,
And I could feel the Spirit plead,
With this broken soul that struggled to believe,
So much pain, On that cross,
To redeem a world that could not see the cost,
But one heart, Was softened now,
And a loving Savior graciously bent down, (And said)

CHORUS 2
I’m this close, to where you are,
There’s no sin that’s gonna take you down to far,
I’m this close, just call My Name,
Let Me in and you will never be the same,
If you think that your salvation is too hard,
Just speak My Name, Cause I’m this close.

BRIDGE
So come a little closer, and see,
The Lamb of God Who died at Calvary,
Come a little closer, and know,
You can have eternal life cause that Jesus rose,
Come a little closer, it’s not too late,
And His precious blood can wash your sins away,
He’s in heaven, On His throne,
But just speak His name and He will come so close.

FINAL CHORUS & TAG
He’s that close, to where you are,
There’s no sin that’s gonna take you down too far,
He’s that close, just call His Name,
Let Him in and you will never be the same.
If you think that your salvation is too hard,
If you don’t think God can meet you where you are,
And if you don’t know that He’s loved you from the start,
Then just speak His Name, Cause He’s that close,
He’s that close, just speak His Name, 
Cause He’s that close.

Wrestle With Me, Lord
Words & Music by Greta Brokaw

Verse 1
I’m easily distracted,
And quick to go astray,
And prone to wander down a broad and winding road.
But Lord, you know my heart.
So take hold of my way,
And til you finally see, what you want in me, 
Wrestle with me, Lord.

CHORUS
Wrestle with me, Lord,
Reason with me, God.
Take this stubborn heart and make it all that you desire,
I am such a fool,
So Father, rule,
On the throne of my whole life,
And til you finally see, what you want in me, 
Wrestle with me, Lord.

Verse 2
So full of foolish pride,
With so much to leave behind
But Your Spirit is leading me to climb to higher ground,
So humble me today,
Lord Jesus, have Your way,
And til you finally see, what you want in me, 
Wrestle with me, Lord.

Bridge
Lord, take my life,
And make it Yours,
I know without Your blessing I would surely fall.
Break down my will,
Break down my pride,
Don’t let me leave this place til I surrender all, And…

Tag 
Til you finally see, all You want in me, 
Wrestle with me, Lord.

THE GRAVE IS JUST A DOOR
By Greta Brokaw

VERSE 1
It seemed so final,
When they rolled that stone in place,
Everything that they’d believed in,
Was shut up in that grave,
But three days later, 
That stone would roll again,
And the Savior Who laid down His life,
Would no longer be dead.
The door was open,
For salvation had arrived,
And redemption waited on the other side.

CHORUS
The grave is just a door,
To leave behind what came before,
To step into new life,
And see faith become sight,
And enter into glory,
The grave is not the end,
Because I have a Friend,
A Savior Who arose,
To live and die no more,
Now the grave is just a door.

VERSE 2
So don’t you cry for me,
When I walk on through that door,
With the angels there beside me,
I’ll be waiting to explore,
That land eternal,
Oh the ones I long to meet,
I’ll be shouting “hallelujah”,
And falling at the feet of my precious Jesus,
The One Who went before,
Who left His throne to BE that glorious door.

BRIDGE
No other way,
That’s why He came,
To redeem the souls that sin had bound in darkness,
He paid the price, 
And brought the Light,
And the door was opened wide, 
For a world condemned to die, But now…

TAG
I can see all the ones who’ve gone before.
I can know all that heaven has in store,
And I can live with my Lord forevermore,
Cause the grave is just a door.
Hallelujah, the grave is just a door.

I Have Not Fallen
Words & Music by Greta Brokaw

Verse 1
When I have stumbled,
God is still with me,
His tender mercies,
Are new every day,
Calv’ry still covers my sins with its precious blood,
And when I have failed Him, 
Still I can say…

CHORUS
I have not fallen,
Where He cannot reach me,
I have not broken,
What He can’t repair,
I have not lost what He cannot find for me,
My God still loves me,
And my God’s still there.

Verse 2
Are you in darkness?
Searching for something,
God knows you’re hurting,
He offers His grace,
There is forgiveness and freedom in Jesus,
Come to the cross,
And then you can say…

2ND CHORUS
I have not fallen,
Where He cannot reach me,
I have not broken,
What He can’t repair,
I have not lost what He cannot find for me,
My God still loves me,
My God still loves me,
Praise God He loves me,
And my God’s still there.
He’s still there.

God’s Not Done
Words & Music by Greta Brokaw

VERSE 1
Hold on my child, It’s not the end,
Morning will break through this dark night once again.
God hasn’t left you, Though you can’t see,
How any good could come from this misery,
Make this your story ,Make this your song,
Hold up your head and praise your Savior all day long.

CHORUS
Just take His hand,
Stand on His Word,
Every prayer you’ve prayed has been heard,
Be still and see what your great God is going to do.
Never lose hope,
Rest in His love,
Never stop sending your prayers up.
I know it seems this battle just can’t be won,
But God’s not done.

VERSE 2
He calmed the waves, Said, “Peace, be still,”
He owns the cattle on a thousand hills,
He’s so much bigger, Than circumstance,
He’ll take this from you if you give Him the chance.
Don’t waste your story, Keep singing that song,
Give Him the praise and pow’r and glory all day long.

BRIDGE
This is your story,
And He’ll write the ending,
Trust that whatever was won’t always have to be.
He holds your days,
Give Him the praise,
He’ll walk you through the fire, the rain, and every stormy sea – to victory…

TAG
But God’s not done, But God’s not done, No, God’s not done. God’s not done.
