1. The heart beats simply to keep on living / People keep living because the time goes by / Human beings live and look for a purpose / like a wave that crashes in the sea. / There is good.

- Covenant (Isaiah 1:10-16, 29:13, 59:2, Jeremiah 31:31-32, Ps 53:4)
When you come to see my face/ who requires of you to do so?/ New moon and Sabbath I ignore. / I hate your appointed feasts / they've become a burden to Me. / Spread out your prayers – I will not listen / You draw near with many words / but your hearts are far from Me / Your iniquities have separated you from Me / I looked for a man whose righteousness is real / No one does good – not even one. / You have broken My covenant – but still, I love you / You've put aside My word – but I am calling you / to a new covenant which I will write on your hearts / a new covenant of grace and of love / a covenant for which I came down to be with you – / to die and rise again, because – my people – I love you.

Maybe it's not objective / but also not genetic / I do have doubts / and happiness is not the first and only thing / but I do know what is love. / God knew before me / so don't tell Him, "no". / Don't build on later / and not on temporary happiness. / Songs do not always have meaning / Life has meaning, but it depends on who is holding the strings... / Chorus.

Before I formed you in the womb – I knew you / And before you were born – I appointed you / I chose you / For I know the plans that I have for you / declares the Lord your God / Plans to prosper you and not to harm you / To give you a future and a hope / For I am your Lord / I am your Lord / You I have chosen / 2. I called upon Your name, came and prayed / and You heard me / I searched You, oh Lord, with all my heart / and I found You, for You are near... / For You know the plans that You have for me / I thank You, my God / Plans to prosper me and not to harm me / You gave me a future and a hope / For You are my Lord / You are my Lord / In You I trust.
1.

Can't find the way / hungry for the truth / searching in books, asking wise men / But where is God? / In a desert, thirsty for water / he thinks that there's no answer / You don't know, but right where you are / look up – there's a God!

Jesus said that He is the Way, the Truth and the Life / He said that He is the Messiah / and also rose from the death / He was the eternal sacrifice for me and for you / He conquered death – enter into His Kingdom! / Chorus.
My God You've chosen me / You have called me / With Your Spirit You have sealed me / You are my Savior, my Redeemer, God / You have renewed my heart. / I bow my knee in prayer / I know You hear my voice / Oh Lord, how mighty are Your works / Praise and thanks are Yours for Your redeeming grace / Help me Lord to run the race / Not my will but Yours be done, dear Lord / Alone I'm lost, without hope / Works and law and deeds do not atone / Justified by faith alone. / Being close to You / always on my knees / A humble tool for Your glory. / Turn my eyes to You also when it's hard / Without conditions I will serve You God. / "Who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time?"

I'm falling at Your feet / when everything is stormy outside / but inside there is a dry desert / I know You can fill me / You see, but You're invisible / and moving everything from a different perspective. / Chorus: / You, who can see to the far distance / who are above all the circumstances / who examines and understands hearts / who identifies with tears / and who enables everyone to see things from your perspective / Chorus.
