Lyrics to "Anything Worth Saying" by Aaron Shust

Yes, like everybody else I first heard Aaron Shust's music after his first song, "My Savior, My God" became a big hit. But I received and listened to his whole album, "Anything Worth Saying", and I really like it. The lyrics are below.

His new album "Whispered and Shouted" is released on June 5, and can be pre-ordered for $9.95 with free shipping from aaronshust.com including an autograph and "Listen Now" online access so you can listen to it right away after ordering!

01. Give Me Words

Give me words to speak
Don't let my spirit sleep
Cause I can't think of anything worth saying

02. Glory To You

Great God of might, great God of wonders
Giver of life, Giver of grace
Creator of everything before us
You had me in mind before the stars were in place

Your love surpasses all by far
We're praising You for all You are

The reason we're here and the reason we sing
Is to thank You, oh God, and give praise to the King
We lift up our hands and we lift up our eyes and sing
You are holy

You are holy

Father of Love, Father of Mercy
What have I done that You would think about me?
You've taken my shame, You've taken my sorrow
Replaced them with life and life abundantly

Your love surpasses all by far
We're praising You for all You are

The reason we're here and the reason we sing
Is to thank You, oh God, and give praise to the King
We lift up our hands and we lift up our eyes and sing
You are holy

The reason we're here and the reason we sing
Is to thank You, oh God, and give praise to the King
We lift up our hearts and we lift up our minds
And we pray that all we do would bring glory to You

You can see inside my heart
You can see inside my mind
So strip away the things
That leave me deaf and blind

The reason we're here and the reason we sing
Is to thank You, oh God, and give praise to the King
We lift up our hands and we lift up our eyes and sing
You are holy

The reason we're here and the reason we sing
Is to thank You, oh God, and give praise to the King
We lift up our hearts and we lift up our minds
And we pray that all we do would bring glory to You

You are holy

03. Matchless

Son of a Man, Great I am, King of heaven,
Son of god, You hold the measure of my days
Holy Lamb, spotless Lamb, You are worthy, I am not
Before Your throne I stand amazed

Every tongue confess and every knee will bow
To Jesus Christ the Lord forever, hear our praises now

Your name is matchless, Your name is priceless
Your name means more than I could know
You're so far above me, the way that You love me
Goes further than any love could go

Wonderful Counselor, Root of David, Morning Star
You are the way, the truth, the life
Lion of the tribe of Judah, Mighty God is who You are
The only perfect sacrifice

Every tongue confess and every knee will bow
To Jesus Christ the Lord forever, hear our praises now

Your name is matchless, Your name is priceless
Your name means more than I could know
You're so far above me, the way that You love me
Goes further than any love could go

In Your name You took the blind man and You gave him back his sight
In Your name You took the dead man and You brought him back to life
In Your name You took this prisoner and You opened up the doors
And I will sing before Your throne forever more

Your name is matchless, Your name is priceless
Your name means more than I could know
You're so far above me, the way that You love me
Goes further than any love could go

Your name is matchless, Your name is priceless
Your name means more than I could know
You're so far above me, the way that You love me
Goes further than any love could go

04. Let the People Praise

Our God is the God of Gods
Our Lord is the Lord of Kings
The Revealer of secrets, of mysteries unknown
Let the people praise our God
Let the people praise our God

His sovereign rule will last forever
His kingdom won't decline or fall
He does as He pleases both in Heaven and Earth
Who am I that I should question Him at all?

Our God is the God of Gods
Our Lord is the Lord of Kings
The Revealer of secrets, of mysteries unknown
Let the people praise our God
Let the people praise our God

He lifts up kings and brings them low again
He shows us what is right from wrong
God of all time we give You thanks and praise
For You have made us wise and You have made us strong

Our God is the God of Gods
Our Lord is the Lord of Kings
The Revealer of secrets, of mysteries unknown
Let the people praise our God
Let the people praise our God

Everything He does is right and all His ways are just
Those who walk in pride He is able to humble
Everything He does is right and all His ways are just
Those who walk in pride He is able to humble

Our God is the God of Gods
Our Lord is the Lord of Kings
The Revealer of secrets, of mysteries unknown
Let the people praise our God
Let the people praise our God

05. Stillness (Speak to Me)

I come to You, oh God, in the stillness of my heart
I need Your healing and Your voice in the stillness of my heart

So speak to me and show me who You are
Rescue me with Your unfailing love and mercy
Speak to me and show me who You are
Hold me tightly in Your arms and never let me go

I hear You calling out my name in the stillness of my heart
Your grace is given me again, now I open my heart

So speak to me and show me who You are
Rescue me with Your unfailing love and mercy
Speak to me and show me who You are
Hold me tightly in Your arms and never let me go

I remember singing praises to Your name every day with all my might
How I long to sing to You again

So speak to me and show me who You are
Rescue me with Your unfailing love and mercy
Speak to me and show me who You are
Hold me tightly in Your arms and never let me go

Speak to me and show me who You are
Rescue me with Your unfailing love and mercy
Speak to me and show me who You are
Hold me tightly in Your arms and never let me go
Hold me tightly in Your arms and never let me
Go

06. More Wonderful

God of unending grace, I come to You on my face
I need to hear You speak to me, won't You make me new right now
God of omnipotent power, visit us in this hour
And may we leave here changed because we've met with You, God

You've been more wonderful to me than I could have ever imagined
You've shown more love than I could show in a thousand years
And although it seems at times like it all means nothing to me
You gotta know that I love You
You gotta know that I need You

God of wisdom and love, settle down from above
Give us all a taste of what Your Holy Spirit can do
Time and time again we've betrayed, but our debt's already been paid
And all that leaves me wanting is to live for You, God

You've been more wonderful to me than I could have ever imagined
You've shown more love than I could show in a thousand years
And although it seems at times like it all means nothing to me
You gotta know that I love You
You gotta know that I need You

When the world crashes down around me
I know You'll be there to pull me out from the rubble
When my enemy surrounds and I call on Your name
You'll be there to deliver me from my troubled soul

You've been more wonderful to me than I could have ever imagined
You've shown more love than I could show in a thousand years

You've been more wonderful to me  (Rescue me from all my selfish ways)
Than I could have ever imagined
 (And thoughts and deeds and plans)
You've shown more love than I could show
 (Lead me in the everlasting way)
In a thousand years
 (And I will follow You there)

And although it seems at times like it all means nothing to me
You gotta know that I love You
You gotta know that I need You
You gotta know that I love You
You gotta know that I need You
You're more wonderful

07. Give It All Away

Search my heart, Search my mind, Search my soul
Make me clean, Make me new, Make me whole

All of my plans, All of my dreams, I lay them down before Your feet
All of my time, All that was mine, I now submit to Your design
Cause You are the one and only one who dared to give it all away to me
You dared to give it all away to me

You are my strength, You are my God, You are my King
You make me laugh, You make me dance, You make me sing

All of my plans, All of my dreams, I lay them down before Your feet
All of my time, All that was mine, I now submit to Your design
Cause You are the one and only one who dared to give it all away to me
You dared to give it all away to me

You gave it all away
Everything inside, everything outside, I give it all away
You gave it all away
You never change, but You rearrange my heart more everyday

All of my plans, All of my dreams, I lay them down before Your feet
All of my time, All that was mine, I now submit to Your design
All of my plans, All of my dreams, I lay them down before Your feet
All of my time, All that was mine, I now submit to Your design

Cause You are the one who can make my life complete
You are the one who can give light to my feet
You are the one and only one who dared to give it all away for me
You dared to give it all away to me
You dared to give it all away
You gave it all away to me
You gave it all away to me

Search my heart, Search my mind, Search my soul

08. Change The Way

King of all the universe
We love You and we come to You now
Asking for Your healing touch
We need You this very hour

Would You help us comprehend, what it means to worship You
Cause we're blinded by our circumstance
Heal our eyes today

May we know Your love, Feel it course through our veins
Encircling our hearts and embracing our souls
We need Your love and grace to remain, to rearrange our hearts
And change the way that we praise

Son of God who took my place
We thank You and may we realize
You've made us righteous in His sight
You took our wrongs and made them right
We owe You all of our lives

Would You help us comprehend, what it means to worship You
Cause we're blinded by our circumstance
Heal our eyes today

May we know Your love, Feel it course through our veins
Encircling our hearts and embracing our souls
We need Your love and grace to remain, to rearrange our hearts
And change the way that we praise

Love me, Father, for I am Your son
(I am Your daughter)
Love me, Father, for I am Your son
(I am Your daughter)

May we know Your love, Feel it course through our veins
Encircling our hearts and embracing our souls
We need Your love and grace to remain, to rearrange our hearts
And change the way that we praise

(Change the way that we praise)
Rearrange our hearts, and change the way that we praise

09. My Savior My God

I am not skilled to understand
What God has willed, what God has planned
I only know at his right hand
Stands one who is my Savior

I take him at his word and deed
Christ died to save me this I read
And in my heart I find a need
For him to be my Savior

That He would leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my Savior

My Savior loves, my Savior lives
My Savior's always there for me
My God He was, my God He is
My God He's always gonna be

Yes, living, dying, Let me bring
My strength, my solace from this spring
That He who lives to be my King
Once died to be my Savior

That He would leave His place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You count it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my Savior

My Savior loves, my Savior lives
My Savior's always there for me
My God He was, My God He is
My God He's always gonna be

My Savior loves, my Savior lives
My Savior's always there for me
My God He was, My God He is
My God He's always gonna be

My Savior lives, my Savior loves
My Savior lives, my Savior loves

10. Stand To Praise

Everybody praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Every nation applaud His name
Everybody praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Every nation applaud His name

For great is His love toward us
The faithfulness of the Lord endures
The faithfulness of the Lord endures forever

We stand to praise the Lord
We stand to praise the Lord
We stand to praise the Lord
We stand to praise the Lord

Everybody praise the Lord, praise the Lord
Every nation applaud His name
For great is his love toward us
The faithfulness of the Lord endures

We stand to praise the Lord

Be at rest once more my soul for the Lord has been good to you
Be at rest once more, oh my soul
Be at rest once more my soul for the Lord has been good to you
Be at rest once more
Be at rest once more

We stand to praise the Lord

11. In Your Name

In Your name You took the blind man and You gave him back his sight
In Your name You took the dead man and You brought him back to life
In Your name You took this prisoner and You opened up the doors
And I will sing before Your throne forever more

12. One Day

One Day I will leave this body
And I will get a perfect one
That day I will see His glory
Shining like the noon day sun

One day, I'll take a walk with Jesus
He might explain the mysteries of life
Some say, I just can't believe it
But I know that one day

We will gather at the Crystal Throne
All these years we're finally home
I can actually see His face
And all I can do is say,

Holy, Holy is the Lord Almighty,
Who was and is and is to come
We lay our crowns before You
Every heart and soul adore You
The God of gods, Almighty One

One Day, death will be abolished
And sin will have its mastery no more
And I know that we will be astonished
At all that our Creator has in store

One day we will meet our Savior
And He will give each one of us a stone
Engraved with our names upon it
Known by God alone

We will gather at the Crystal Throne
All these years we're finally home
I can actually see His face
I never thought I'd see the day that

We will gather at the Crystal Throne
All these years we're finally home
I can actually see His face
And all I can do is say

Holy, Holy is the Lord Almighty,
Who was and is and is to come
We lay our crowns before You
Every heart and soul adore You
The God of gods, Almighty One

We're singing
Holy, Holy is the Lord Almighty,
Who was and is and is to come
We lay our crowns before You
Every heart and soul adore You
The God of gods, Almighty One

We're singing
Holy, Holy is the Lord Almighty,
Who was and is and is to come
We lay our crowns before You
Every heart and soul adore You
The God of gods, Almighty One

King of kings, God's only Son
Lord of lords
Salvation done

One day...
One day...(ooooh, oh yeah)
One day...(I'll see his face)
One day...(ooh, gonna walk with Him in glory, yeah)
One day...(I will see my Savior)
One day...(mmmmmmmmmmhh)
One day...(one day, yay yeah)
One day...(one day, one day, one day)
One day...(I will have a little talk with Jesus, oh)
One day...(ooh, one day, one day, one day)
One day...(one day, yay yeah)
One day...(oh, no more trials)
One day...(to bear, one day, one day)
One day... (Is this where I'm not supposed to sing?)
I had to put in all those little words at the end of "One Day" which are pretty cool!
