Amy Grant

Twinkling lights
A chill is in the air
And carols everywhere
Close your eyes, it's almost here
Candles and cards
And favorite movie scenes
The smell of evergreen
As special as it's always been
And I have a dream or two
Maybe they will come true

Chorus:
Setting our hopes on a big snow tonight
We'll wake up to a world of white
It's gonna be a christmas to remember
Light up the fire, play some nat king cole


Always sentimental and don't you know that
It's gonna be a christmas to remember

I know it's true
Time doesn't stand still
Many things can change
But we know some things never will
The memories we share
The songs we always sing
The mystery of life
The hopefulness this season brings
And I have a dream or two
Maybe they will come true

Chorus

"After the fire is over
After the ashes cool
After the smoke has blown away
I will be here for you

After the stillness finds you
After the winds of change
All that is good and true between us
This will remain the same

Slowly, Slowly,
We turn the page of life
Growing, Knowing
It comes at quite a price

After the fire is over
After the ashes cool
After the smoke has blown away
I will be here for you

After your time of wandering
Along this lonely road
There will be many voices calling
Mine will say "Welcome Home"

Slowly, Slowly
We turn the page of life
Growing, Knowing
It comes at quite a price

After the fire is over
After the ashes cool
After the smoke has blown away
I will be here for you

I will be here for you"

"After the fire is over
After the ashes cool
After the smoke has blown away
I will be here for you

After the stillness finds you
After the winds of change
All that is good and true between us
This will remain the same

Slowly, Slowly,
We turn the page of life
Growing, Knowing
It comes at quite a price

After the fire is over
After the ashes cool
After the smoke has blown away
I will be here for you

After your time of wandering
Along this lonely road

Mine will say welcome home

Slowly, slowly
We turn the pages of life
Growing, knowing

After the smoke is blown away
I will be here for you
I will be here for you

When the weight of all my dreams
Is resting heavy on my head
And the thoughtful words of help and hope
Have all been nicely said
But I'm still hurting, wondering if I'll ever be the one
I think I am--I think I am.
Then you gently re-remind me
That You've made me from the first
And the more I try to be the best
The more I get the worst.


And I realize the good in me is only there because of who
You are, who You are.
And all I ever have to be is what
You've made me
Any more or less would be a step out of Your plan
As you daily recreate me help me always keep in mind
That I only have to do what I can find
And all I ever have to be
All I have to be
All I ever have to be is what You've made me

When the weight of all my dreams
Is resting heavy on my head
And the thoughtful words of help and hope
Have all been nicely said
But I'm still hurting, wondering if I'll ever be the one
I think I am--I think I am.
Then you gently re-remind me
That You've made me from the first
And the more I try to be the best
The more I get the worst.

Looking out
To the hills, to the setting sun,
I feel a cold wind
Bound to come;
Another change,
Another end I cannot see,
But your faithfulness to me

Is making it all right.
I fall down on my knees;
Tell me that it's all right.
You give me what I need.
Years of knockin' on heaven's door
Have taught me this, if nothing more,
That it's all right, what may come.

I've heard it said,
When the river's running high,
You get to higher ground or you die.
Well, muddy waves of pain
Washed over me,
And it only made me see,

It's gonna be all right.
I, I fall down on my knees;
Tell me that it's all right.
You give me what I need.
Years of knockin' on heaven's door
Have taught me this, if nothing more,
That it's all right, what may come.

When will I learn there're no guarantees?
What strengthens hope, my eyes have never seen,
But it won't be long
Till the faith will be sight,
And the heavens will say,

It's all right.
(All right.)
(All right.)
(All right.)

All right,
I fall down on my knees;
Tell me that it's all right.
You give me what I need.
Years of knockin'...heaven's door,
Have taught me this, if nothing more,
And it's all right.
Whatever comes.

All right,
Fall on my knees,
Tell me that it's all right.
You give me what I need.
(After all these) Years of knockin' on heaven's door,
(Years of knockin' on heavens' door,)
(It's gonna be) All right.
(Oooooh, yeah.) All right.
I fall down on my knees,
Tell me that it's all right,
'Cause you give me what I need,
(After all these years of knockin' on heaven's door,)
Years of knockin' on heaven's door,
(It's gonna be) All right.
Whatever comes, yes sir,
All right.
I fall down on my knees.
All right

Lord, you know it's been a busy day,
And I'm just weary to my bones.
I hope you'll understand if I don't pray,
But I need my rest to carry on.

Why do I kid myself? You see my heart --
The me I try so to ignore.
And Lord, you see how very weak I am.
I just can't hide it anymore.

But all of a sudden I knew
That I'd never be wanting as long as I'm leaning on you.
Oh, Lord. All that I need is you.

Everytime when the doubting comes,
And I seem to lose my way;
When I cry within,
'Cause I need a friend,
But I just don't say --
You know that I need you --
All at once it's clear
Even though you're here,
I've tried to make it on my own.
I'm not trusting you.

Oh, Lord, you know
That I really need our time together?
Only your strength can see me through,
So talk with me now,
As you walk with me now
In this quiet time.
I'm waiting on you.

'Cause all of a sudden I knew
That I'd never be wanting as long as I'm leaning on you.
Oh, Lord. All that I need is you.

'Cause all of a sudden I knew (I knew)
That I'd never be wanting as long as I'm leaning on you.
Oh, Lord. All that I need is you.
All that I need
All that I need is you!
Is you!
Is you!

Is you.

Lord, you know it's been a busy day,
And I'm just weary to my bones.
I hope you'll understand if I don't pray,
But I need my rest to carry on.

Why do I kid myself? You see my heart --
The me I try so to ignore.
And Lord, you see how very weak I am.
I just can't hide it anymore.

Oh, Lord. All that I need is you.

'Cause all of a sudden I knew (I knew)
That I'd never be wanting as long as I'm leaning on you.
Oh, Lord. All that I need is you.
All that I need
All that I need is you!
Is you!
Is you!

Is you.

Always the winner, baby.
You're always the center, baby.
But don't you ever get lonely at night
When the clouds have gone away?

It's always,
You're showing her the lady,
Always the lady.
You're full of
Yourself, you know,
Gone crazy.

There was a time when you cared for their hearts,
And the need to show them love was tearing you apart.

But you changed, you know,
Become the star of the show.
Now you've got nothing to give;
Where is the truth you once lived?

You're just lonely.
Don't you feel lonely?

Turn out the spotlight, I'm tired. Turn out the spotlight.
My mind will die, Lord, I'm crying.

Oh, I'm to turn my gaze back, Lord, to you,
You're the only one who knows me.
Just mold me back to you.

Take this man to prison
The man heard Herod say
And then four squads of soldiers came
And carried him away
Chained up between two watchmen
Peter tried to sleep
But beyond the walls
An endless prayer was lifting for his keep

Then a light cut through the darkness
Of a lonely prison cell
And the chains that bound the man of God
Just opened up and fell
And running to his people
Before the break of day
There was only one thing on his mind
Only one thing to say

Angels watching over me
Every move I make
Angels watching over me

Angels watching over me
Every step I take
Angels watching over me

God only knows the times
My life was threatened just today
A reckless car ran out of gas
Before it ran my way
Near misses all around me
Accidents unknown
Though I never see with human eyes
The hands that lead me home

But I know they're all around me
All day and through the night
When the enemy is closing in
I know sometimes they fight
To keep my feet from falling
I'll never turn away
If you're asking what's protecting me
Then you're gonna hear me say

Got His Angels watching over me
Every move I make
Angels watching over me

Angels watching over me
Every step I take
Angels watching over me

Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me

Got His Angels watching over me
Every move I make
Angels watching over me

Angels watching over me
Every step I take
Angels watching over me

Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me

Though I never see with human eyes
The hands that lead me home

Lord I'm really glad You're here.
I hope you feel the same when You see all my fear,
And how I fail,
I fall sometimes.
It's hard to walk on shifting sand.
I miss the rock, and find there's nowhere left to stand;
I start to cry.
Lord, please help me raise my hands so You can pick me up.
Hold me close,
Hold me tighter.

I have found a place where I can hide.
It's safe inside
Your arms of love.
Like a child who's helped throughout a storm,
You keep me warm
In Your arms of love.

Storms will come and storms will go.
Wonder just how many storms it takes until
I finally know
You're here always.
Even when my skies are far from gray,
I can stay;
Teach me to stay there,

In the place I've found where I can hide.
It's safe inside
Your arms of love.
Like a child who's helped throughout a storm,
You keep me warm
In Your arms of love.

I see her as a little girl hiding in her room
She takes another bath and she sprays her momma's perfume
To try to wipe away the scent he left behind
But it haunts her mind.

You see she's his little rag, nothing more than just a waif
And he's mopping up his need, she is tired and afraid
Maybe she'll find a way through these awful years to disappear.

Ask me if I think there's a God up in the heaven
Where did He go in the middle of her shame?
Ask me if I think there's a God up in the heavens
I see no mercy and no one down here's naming names
Nobody's naming names.

Now she's looking in the mirror at a lovely woman face
No more frightened little girl, like she's gone without a trace
Still she leaves the light burning in the hall
It's hard to sleep at all.

Still she crawls up in her bed acting quiet as a mouse
Deep inside she's listening for a creaking in the house
But noone's left to harm her, she's finally safe and sound
There's a peace she's found.

Ask her how she knows there's a God up in the heaven
Where did He go in the middle of her shame?
Ask her how she knows there's a God up in the heavens
She said His mercy is bringing her life again.

Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heaven
(How do you know?)
Where did He go in the middle of her shame
(Where did He go?)
Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heavens
(How do you know?)
She said his mercy is bringing her life again
She's coming to life again.

He's in the middle of her pain
In the middle of her shame
Mercy brings life
He's in the middle
Mercy in the middle.

So ask me how I know
Ask me how I know, yeah
Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heaven
(How do you know?)
Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heavens
(How do you know?)
Yeah, ask me how I know
(How do you know?)
Ask me
Ask me
Ask me how I know
(How do you know?)
There's a God up in the heavens
Ask me how I know there's a God up in the heavens.

Baby I'm so glad that
When I think about you it makes me smile

I'm looking for a way to feel you hold me
Feel your heartbeat
Just one more time
Reaching back trying to touch the moment
Each precious minute
That you were mine

How do you prepare when you love someone this way
To let them go a little more each day

The stars we put in place
The dreams we didn't waste
The sorrows we embraced
The world belonded to you and me
The oceans that we crossed
The innocence we lost
The hurting at the end
I'd go there again
Cause it was beautiful
It was beautiful

Some days missing you is overwhelming
When it hits me
You're not coming back
And in my darkest hours I have wondered
Was it worth it
For the time we had

My thoughts get kind of scattered but one thing I know is true
I blessed the day I found you

The stars we put in place
The dreams we didn't waste
The sorrows we embraced
The world belonded to you and me
The oceans that we crossed
The innocence we lost
The hurting at the end
I'd go there again
Cause it was beautiful
It was beautiful

The rules we stepped aside
The fear we defied
The thrill of the ride
The fire in our hearts that burned
The oceans that we crossed
The innocence we lost
The hurting at the end
I'd go there again
Cause it was beautiful
It was beautiful

I'm looking for a way to feel you hold me
Feel your heartbeat
Just one more time
Reaching back trying to touch the moment
Each precious minute
That you were mine

How do you prepare when you love someone this way

Once my life had
No direction,
I was lost as could be.
I was caught in a whirlpool (caught in a whirlpool)
Spinning around in misery.

I needed a friend,
You took me in,
And you touched my heart
With your song of love
And gave me a brand new start.

Now there's beautiful music
Flowing on through me
Just like you said.
Angels singing,
Joy bells ringing
Inside my head,
Since you came inside me. (Since you came inside me.)
Now I'm lost inside your love.

You gave me just enough
To make hunger
For more of you.
Now I'm hooked on your lovin',
And I don't want to break loose.

With my heart in my hand,
I'm yours to command;
Do what you want me to.
Just never let me go,
Lord, I'm so in love with you.

Now there's beautiful music
Flowing on through me
Just like you said.
Angels singing,
Joy bells ringing
Inside my head,

Flowing on through me
Just like you said.
Angels singing, (Angels singing,)

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique, and a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop-bop

They took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museum
And then they charged all the poeple twenty-five bucks just to see 'em
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop, shoo-bop-bop-bop

Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT now
Give me spots on my apples but leave me the birds and the bees, please
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
I say, they paved paradise and they put up a parking lot

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop

Late last night I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi carried off my old man
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and they put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop

Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop

Oh, now, they paved paradise and they put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop
Hey, steam rolled paradise and put up a parking lot
Shoo-bop-bop-bop-bop

When I think of all of the things He's doin' for me,
It makes me stand in wonder at what He's making me to be.
Tryin' to walk through straight, but getting turned around,
Always makin' the Master take a backseat and wait around.

But I praise the Lord for giving me a brand new start each day,
And I praise His blessed name for guiding me all along the way.
If He didn't, I wouldn't even try.

Well maybe you can't see a change, you know these things can take time.
But now that I've found Jesus, well He's given me peace of mind.
Now ev'ry day's just a chance to grow close to Him,
I may not win all the battles, but it's a victory in Him.

Well I praise the Lord for giving me a brand new start each day,
And I praise His blessed name for guiding me all along the way.
If He didn't, I would surely die.

When I think of all of the things He's doin' for me,
It makes me stand in wonder at what He's making me to be.
Tryin' to walk through straight, but getting turned around,
Always makin' the Master take a backseat and wait around.

But I praise the Lord for giving me a brand new start each day,
And I praise His blessed name for guiding me all along the way.
If He didn't, I wouldn't even try.

Well maybe you can't see a change, you know these things can take time.
But now that I've found Jesus, well He's given me peace of mind.
Now ev'ry day's just a chance to grow close to Him,
I may not win all the battles, but it's a victory in Him.

Well I praise the Lord for giving me a brand new start each day,
And I praise His blessed name for guiding me all along the way.
If He didn't, I would surely die.

I have traveled
Many moonless nights
Cold and weary
With a babe inside
And I wonder
What I've done
Holy Father
You have come
And chosen me now
To carry your son

I am waiting
In a silent prayer
I am frightened
By the load I bear
In a world as cold as stone
Must I walk this path alone
Be with me now
Be with me now

CHORUS
Breath of Heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of Heaven

Breath of Heaven
Light in my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For you are holy
Breath of Heaven

Do you wonder
As you watch my face
If a wiser one
Should have had my place
But I offer all I am
For the mercy of your plan
Help me be strong
Help me be me

CHORUS 2x

I will wait for the bridegroom,
I've awakened early to say,
I will wait for my bridegrooom,
I will wait for Him today.

I will give to him my impatience,
I will give him all of my fear,
I will make my heart very quiet,
I will wait for Him here.

In bright color,
In joyous line,
In morning light,
And lampfire.
I'll make fine my home here,
And trust in my home to come.

La la la, la la la laaa la,
La la la, la la la laaa,
La la la, la la la laaa la,
La la la, la la la laaa.

With loving care and with pleasure,
In the lamp light I will sing,
I will trust in my bridegroom,
I will give Him everything.

In bright color
And in joyous line,
In morning light
And lampfire.
I'll make fine my home here,
And trust in my home to come.

La la la, la la la laaa la,
La la la, la la la laaa,
La la la, la la la laaa la,
La la la, la la la la.

In bright color
And in joyous line,
In morning light
And lampfire.
I'll make fine my home here,
And trust in my home to come.

I will give to him my impatience,
I will give him all of my fear,
I will make my heart very quiet,
I will wait for Him here.

I will wait for the bridegroom,
I've awakened early to say,
I will wait for my bridegrooom,
I will wait for Him today.

Every life, every beating heart
Has a searching soul inside
Ever needing, ever seeking out
The meaning to life

I refuse to believe that we're only here to live and die
In the futile days of a faithless haze
Never asking why, why would I
When I've felt the hand of eternity
It's a legacy I will leave, I want to leave

For the chilrden of the world
Every single little boy and girl
Heaven plants a special seed
And we must have faith for these

I will stand for the truth I've seen
So the truth is seen in me
I will give from the source of love
So all that I believe is handed down
For the road that's yet to be travelled on
By the ones who will carry on, I'll carry on


:
For the chilrden of the world
Every single little boy and girl
Heaven plants a special seed
And we must have faith for these
Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in the Father's eyes
Like the Father may we see
That they have a destiny
And give them the light of love to lead

Through the darkness around us now
To a place where hope is found

Come, thou Fount of every blessing,
Tune my heart to sing thy grace;
Streams of mercy, never ceasing,
Call for songs of loudest praise.

Teach me ever to adore thee,
May I still thine goodness prove
While the hope of endless glory
Fills my heart with joy and love

O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to thee.
Never let me wander from thee
Never leave thee God I love
Here's my heart, take and seal it,
Seal it for thy courts above.

Never let me wander from thee
Never leave thee, God I love
Here's my heart, take and seal it,
Seal it for thy courts above.

Who knew love would come walking thru my door
Turn a light on somewhere down inside
Give me a feeling I'd never had before
It was a long wait
It was just the wrong time

But I hope you'll hold me now
Somewhere within
And when you think about
What might have been

Chorus:
Cry a river
Flood the sea
Cry a river over me
Take the bitter
With the sweet
And cry a river over me

And how do you argue with a feeling in your bones
'Bout what is and what isn't meant to be
Some things you live with
And you never let it show
Like the pain I felt
The day I watched you leave

But I hope you'll think of me
When tender winds blow
Sit on the shores of love
And just let it go

(Repeat Chorus)
(Bridge)
(Repeat Chorus Twice

Who knew love would come walking through my door
And turn a light on somewhere down inside?
It gave me a feeling I'd never had before.
It was a long wait and it was just the wrong time.
I hope you'll hold me now, somewhere within.
And when you think about what might have been,

Cry a river.
Flood the sea.
Cry a river over me.
Take the bitter
With the sweet.
And cry a river over me.

How do you argue with a feeling in your bones
About what is and what isn't meant to be?
Some things you live with
And you never let it show.
Like the pain I felt the day I watched you leave.
And I hope you'll think of me when tender winds blow.
Sit on the shores of love and just let it go.

Cry a river.
Flood the sea.
Cry a river over me.
Take the bitter
With the sweet.
And cry a river over me.

Cry a river.
Flood the sea.
Cry a river over me.
Take the bitter
With the sweet.
And cry a river over me.

Cry a river.
Flood the sea.
Cry a river over me.
Take the bitter
With the sweet.
And cry a river over me.

There was this guy,
he was down on his luck
He was truly poverty's child
Well, he had no home and he had no car
And he wore a weary smile
Moved out to l.a.,
knocked around for awhile
But he was getting nowhere
Then he did this movie and it did really well
Now he's a millionaire
See, life is a curious thing
Life, ooh life is a curious thing

I know a man who could paint the town red
Had a college degree in fun
'till the doorbell rang and a long lost flame said
"this little boy is your son"
Gave him a suitcase and a bear
Left 'em in a cloud of dust
Now he's checking out schools and driving carpools
Learning to adjust
He says life is a curious thing
Life, ooh life is a curious thing

Well, I know that it can be demanding
I know that it can be unkind
I don't really understand it
But lord sure knows I try
Life is a curious thing
Life, ooh life is a curious thing

Let me tell you 'bout a kid I knew
A pudgy girl back in school
She had greasy hair and geeky glasses
Object of ridicule
The other day in the check out line
They were ringing up my rice and beans
There she was, a pretty little face
On the cover of a magazine
And I said life is a curious thing
Life, ooh life is a curious thing
(chorus)

Just goes to show that you never know
Just what tomorrow may bring
But I'll tell you this that what it is
Is seldom what it seems
'cause life is a curious thing
Life, ooh life is a curious thing. . .

Do you remember the time your heart was moved to tears?
Can you look back on the moment after all these years?
On the moment love broke through and heaven seemed so near
Do you remember the time your heart was moved to tears?

Do you remember the day you first let Jesus in?
How he gently and tenderely washed away your sin
Don't you know that He still cares the way He did back then?
Do you remember the day you first let Jesus in?

Keep holdin' on
Never letting go
We're not far
from the end of the road

Keep holdin' on
Never letting go
We're not far
from the end of the road

In a moment love broke through heaven and heaven seemed so near
Do you remember the moment your heart was moved to tears?
Do you remember the time your heart was moved to tears?

Don't give up on me,
Though I know at times it's hard to see;
All my many weaknesses
Might blind you,
I must remind you,

Don't give up on me,
Even when I act so selfishly,
All my views are all I see.

Time and again I know
I stumble,
It makes me humble.

Hanging on the things you see,
Counting all the times I fail to be
Everything you want from me;

I know much more than you
How very weak I am.
But He believes in me,
And so I know you can.

When all my views are all I see,
Then I know there's still so much of me;
But God is working constantly
To shape me,
He'll remake me.

Don't give up on me.

There you go making mountains
Out of such a little hill
Here I go mixing mortar
For another wall to build
There's a struggle in this life we lead
It's partly you
It's partly me (but)

Every road that's traveled
Teaches something new
Every road that's narrow
pushes us to choose
And I'd be lying if I said
I had not tried to leave a time or two
But every road that leads me
Leads me back to you

Here we stand in the middle
Of what we've come to know
It's a dance, it's a balance
Holding on and letting go
But there is nothing that we can't resolve
When love's at stake
When love's involved

There you go
Making mountains
Out of such a little hill.
Here I go
Mixing mortar
For another wall to build.
There's a struggle in this life we lead.
It's partly you, it's partly me.
But every road that's traveled
Teaches something new.
And every road that's narrow
Pushes us to choose.
And I'd be lying if I said
I have not tried to leave a time or two.
BUt every road that leads me,
Leads me back to you.
Here we stand
In the middle
Of what we've come to know.
It's a dance
It's a balance
Holding on, and letting go.
There is nothing that we can't resolve
When love's at stake
When love's involved.
Cuz every road that's traveled
Teaches something new.
And every road that's narrow
Pushes us to choose.
I'd be lying if I said
I have not tried to leave a time or two.
But every road that leads me,
Leads me back to you.
Every road that's traveled
Teaches something new.
And every road that's narrow
Pushes us to choose.
And I'd be lying if I said
I have not tried to leave a time or two.
But every road that leads me,
Leads me back to you.
Every road that leads me,
Leads me back to you.
Every road...
Leading me back to you.

I was wasting time
Oh so sure to find
Somebody
Who'll never go
How could I know? Oh.

None I found was true
None could be but you
The only one love divine
My heart, my mind
Are yours

Everywhere I go
I see your face through the crowd
(Everywhere I go)
I hear your voice clear and loud
(Everywhere I go)
You are the light that I see
(Everywhere I go)
You have found me

Where could my heart go?
Where you wouldn't know
To find me
Far, far from here
Still you are near
To me

Everywhere I go
I see your face through the crowd
(Everywhere I go)
I hear your voice clear and loud
(Everywhere I go)
You are the light that I see
(Everywhere I go)
You have found me

I have seen you in the evening
In the morning light
You hold me
Closer than the air around me
You surround me always

Everywhere I go
I see your face---through the crowd
I hear your voice clear and loud
You are the light that I see
You have found me

(Everywhere I go)
I see your face through the crowd
(Everywhere I go)
I hear your voice clear and loud
(Everywhere I go)
You are the light that I see
(Everywhere I go)
You have found me

***Fading out***

(Everywhere I go)
I see your face through the crowd
(Everywhere I go)
I hear your voice clear and loud
(Everywhere I go)
You are the light that I see
(Everywhere I go)
You have found me

Well I'd like to figure out where we stand before darkness falls
And I'd like to figure out before too late before hope is lost
Cause the sun that's shining on my face is shining down on you
And the fruit that gives me strength to live is giving you strength too
Can we fin a way to find a compromise though we don't see eye to eye
Eye to eye

Well I'd like to figure out a way to leave a troubled past behind
To forget those angry words and wars we fought across the battle lines
Cause tomorrow we could find the road to peace for you and me
And our children in their innocence will follow what they see
Oh we've got to find a way to live our lives though we don't see eye to eye

Oh how easy it would be to close the door and walk away
I can't walk out when I believe
You'remy brother and we owe it to each other
We've got to try though we don't see eye to eye
Eye to eye

repeat chorus

Well I'd like to figure out where we stand before darkness falls
And I'd like to figure out before too late before hope is lost
Cause the sun that's shining on my face is shining down on you
And the fruit that gives me strength to live is giving you strength too
Can we fin a way to find a compromise though we don't see eye to eye

Before too late
Before hope is lost

Is giving you strength too
Can we find a way to find a compromise
Tho' we don't see eye to eye

To leave a troubled past behind
To forget those angry words and wars we fought
Across the battle lines
Cause tomorrow we could find a road to peace

Oh, we've got to find a way to live our lives
Tho' we don't see eye to eye

Oh...how easy it would be
To close the door and walk away
I can't walk out when I believe
You are my brother
And we owe it to each other
We've got to try
Tho' we don't see eye to eye
Eye to eye

Before darkness falls...

Fairest Lord Jesus,
Ruler of all nature,
O Thou of God and man the Son,
Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor,
Thou, my soul's glory, joy and crown.

Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands,
Robed in the blooming garb of spring;
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer,
Who makes the woeful heart to sing.

Fair is the sunshine,
Fairer still the moonlight,
And all the twinkling starry host;
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels heaven can boast.

All fairest beauty, heavenly and earthly,
Wondrously, Jesus, is found in Thee;
None can be nearer, fairer or dearer,
Than Thou, my Savior, art to me.

Beautiful Savior! Lord of all the nations!
Son of God and Son of Man!
Glory and honor, praise, adoration,
Now and forever more be Thine.

Fairytale.
My life was just a fairytale.
I was letting an illusion
Come into this heart of mine.
Fairytale.
Searchin' for a fairytale,
Hiding in a world
Where life was simple all the time.

I was just like Peter Pan in Never Never Land,
Afraid of what the future might be.
Afraid to face the things I couldn't understand.
Afraid of things that I couldn't see.

But fantasy,
I know there's more to life than a fantasy.
There's so much more that my life was meant to be.
So much more than make-believe.

Fairytale.
It seems just like fairytale.
But there's something in my heart
That says this time the story's real.
Fairytale.
Extraordinary tale.
Of a King who offers love
So far beyond what I can feel.

There's a world out there that human eyes can never see,
But it's just within the reach of the heart.
Two princes wages the battle for eternity,
But the Victor has been known from the start.

Now I can see
The truth can seem so much like a fantasy,
But make-believe was never as real to me,
I know this time the story's true.

Just like Sleeping Beauty in a neverland,
I was dying under a spell,
But then a Prince who comes from the foreverland
Awakened me from my fairytale.

Well, it seems with You
There is something new
Every time I turn around.
Oh, I never really know quite what to expect,
But it won't get me down.

'Cause I know You bring
Each and everything
Just to teach me how to live.
And the secret of it all is trusting in You,
And the wisdom You give.

So say goodbye to the feelings,
'Cause the feelings go away.
Say goodbye to the people,
'Cause the people never stay.
And say goodbye to the future,
When it blinds you to today.
And say goodbye to the reasoning
That's standing in the way,
Oh, we've got to break away.

Break away to be
Faith-walkin' people,
You can't rely on everything you feel.
Faith-talkin' people,
We must discern what's really real.
Faith-walkin' people,
You can't believe in everything you see.
Faith-talkin' people,
Seems like such a mystery.

Daaa...da ba da dah-dat dah.
Da ba dah...da ba da dah-dat dah.
Da ba lat-dah dat dah.

But in all the earth
There is nothing worth
Half as much as life with You.
'Cause the people and things we're countin' on here,
They're gonna pass away too.

But I don't understand
Everything He's been,
But I don't really have to know.
'Cause He's giving me a joy that's filling my heart,
But I've learned to let go.

So say goodbye to the feelings,
'Cause the feelings go away.
Say goodbye to the people,
'Cause the people never stay.
And say goodbye to the future,
When it blinds you to today.
And say goodbye to the reasoning
That's standing in the way,
Oh, we've got to break away.

Break away to be
Faith-walkin' people,
You can't rely on everything you feel.
Faith-talkin' people,
We must discern what's really real.
Faith-walkin' people,
You can't believe in everything you see.
Faith-talkin' people,
Seems like such a mystery.

Daaa...da ba da dah-dat dah.
Da ba dah...da ba da dah-dat dah.
Da ba dat-dah dat dah.

At times the woman deep inside me
Wanders far from home,
And in my mind I live a life
That chills me to the bone.
A heart, running for arms out of reach,
But who is the stranger my longing seeks?
I don't know.
But it scares me through and through,
'Cause I've a man at home
Who needs me to be true.

Oh, faithless heart,
Be far away from me.
Playing games inside my head
That no one else can see.
Oh, faithless heart,
You tempt me to the core,
But you can't have a hold on me,
So don't come around anymore.

(The feelings here, God, the feelings here.)

God, you know my feelings here
Could wipe my world away,
Ravaging the promises
A stronger heart once made,
So hold me, I'm falling so fast,
And tell me that the fighting inside will pass
As I walk away,
And find the strength to choose
The man who waits for me
With a heart that's true.

Oh, faithless heart, (faithless heart....)
Be far away from me.
Playing games inside my head
That only I can see.
Oh, faithless heart, (faithless heart....)
You tempt me to the core,
But you can't have a hold on me,
So don't come around anymore.

Faithless heart!

Oh, faithless heart, (faithless heart....)
Be far away from me.
Playing games inside my head
That nobody else can see.
Oh, faithless heart, (faithless heart....)
You tempt me to the core,
But you can't have a hold on me,
So don't come around anymore.

Well, you can't have a hold on me.
So don't come around

Where have you come from?
Where are you going?
Tell me what's brought you here now.
And is your heart singing?
Then share what your bringing;
We all are a part of the show.

'Cause we are all going home,
'Cause we are a family,
And we are all going home.
Are you listening?
We are all going home,
So come join the family,
'Cause we are all going home.

But is your heart quiet?
Is something not right?
Can you tell me what's blocking your way?
Well, just ask the Father;
He knows every problem.
He'll carry that burden away.

'Cause we are all going home,
'Cause we are a family,
And we are all going home.
Are you listening?
We are all going home,
So come join the family,
'Cause we are a family,
And we are all going home.

Yes, we are all going home.

Yes, we are all going home.

I know a man, maybe you know him, too.
You never can tell; he might even be you.
He knelt at the altar, and that was the end.
He's saved, and that's all that matters to him.

His spiritual tummy, it can't take too much.
One day a week, he gets a spiritual lunch.
On Sunday, he puts on his spiritual best,
And gives his language a spiritual rest.

He's just a faaa...
He's just a fat little baby!
Wa, wa, waaaaa....
He wants his bottle, and he don't mean maybe.
He sampled solid foods once or twice,
But he says doctrine leaves him cold as ice.
Ba, ba, ba, ba...ba, ba...ba, ba!

He's been baptized, sanctified, redeemed by the blood,
But his daily devotions are stuck in the mud.
He knows the books of the Bible and John 3:16.
He's got the biggest King James you've ever seen!

I've always wondered if he'll grow up someday.
He's momma's boy, and he likes it that way.
If you happen to see him, tell him I said,
"He'll never grow, if he never gets fed."

He's just a fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fa-at, fat...
Fat, Fat, Fat, Fat, Fat, Fa-at, Fat...
FAT, FAT, FAT, FAT, FAT, FAT, FAAAAAT...
...baby...

Father, blessed Father,
It's morning again.
I give you, Father, myself, Father,
Continue Your plan.

I know together we can climb mountains in the sky.
No one can stop us when I'm standing by your side.

Trouble's knocking here again;
I'll tell him Jesus has me by His hand.
He'll walk me through.

Father, loving Father,
Create in me
A pure love, Father, your love, Father,
Instill it in me.

I remember the nights I've cried for you;
Now I only have to die for you;
Thank you, Lord, you've made it clear just for me.

I see the light;
It's burning out the night.

Oh, Father,
It's morning.
Morning.
Morning.
Morning.
Morning.
Morning.
Morning.
Morning.
Morning.
Morning.
Morning.
Morning.
Morning.
Morning.
Morning.
Morning.
Morning.
