1. "Heroes" Standout Lyrics: "These are the heroes, just ordinary people / Laying down their lives like angels in disguise / They're weak but always willing / They dare to do the hard things / And in the dark and desperate places no one else goes / You'll find the heroes." Album:Thrive
2. "Angel" Standout Lyrics: "You're the proof that the Father answers prayers / 'Cause somehow someway / You and I are standing here / With the sacred promise / And a ring that says it all." Album:Come to the Well
3. "The Well" Standout Lyrics: "All who search will find what their souls long for / The world will try, but it can never fill / So leave it all behind, and come to the well." Album:Come to the Well
4. "Blessed Redeemer" Standout Lyrics: "Father, forgive them," my Savior prayed / Even while His lifeblood flowed fast away / Praying for sinners while in such woe / No one but Jesus ever loved so." Album:Until The Whole World Hears
5. "Jesus, Hold Me Now" Standout Lyrics: "Lord, I just looked up today / And realized how far away I am from where You are / I don't know what else to pray / Broken at Your feet I lay / The life I've torn apart / Jesus, hold me now." Album:Until The Whole World Hears
6. "The Word is Alive" Standout Lyrics: "Lord, let Your Word fall on us and bring forth the fruit / You deserve / With eyes wide open, let us see / The Word is alive." Album:The Altar and the Door

10. "Here I Go Again" Standout Lyrics: "Lord, you love him so, you gave your only son / If he will just believe, he will never die / But how then will he know what he has never heard / Lord, he has never seen mirrored in my life / So maybe this time I'll speak the words of life." Album:Casting Crowns
