Amy Grant

Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing, or maybe we've stopped trying

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it

It used to be so easy living here with you
You where light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool

And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it

There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you

But it's too late, baby, it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it

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

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

If these old walls,
If these old walls could speak
Of the things that they remember well,
Stories and faces dearly held,
A couple in love
Livin' week to week,
Rooms full of laughter,
If these walls could speak.

If these old halls,
If hallowed halls could talk,
These would have a tale to tell
Of sun goin' down and dinner bell,
And children playing at hide and seek
>From floor to rafter,
If these halls could speak.

They would tell you that I'm sorry
For bein' cold and blind and weak.
They would tell you that it's only
That I have a stubborn strreak,
If these walls could speak.
If these old fashioned window panes were eyes,
I guess they would have seen it all--
Each little tear and sigh and footfall,
And every dream that we came to seek
Or followed after,
If these walls could speak.

They would tell you that I owe you
More than I could ever pay.
Here's someone who really loves you;
Don't ever go away.
That's what these walls would say.

They would tell you that I owe you
More than I could ever pay.
Here's someone who really loves you;
Don't ever go away.
That's what these walls would say.

That's what these walls would say.

That's what these walls would say

When i was a younger
I used to dream a lot
Staring into my coffee
About how you'd love me
And write me poetry
And want to be with me, yeah
Well, momma done told me
You might wander far, yeah
But nobody warned me
The road would own your heart

And so i'm saying
If you have to go away
I will be waiting by the phone
And if you have to go away
I'll put your records on
Pretend you're still at home

Now that i'm older
I sit at home a lot
With the kid we've got, yeah
The radio's playing
He really loves his wife
I hear the d.j. saying
Well momma done told me
You might wander far, oh
As long as you hold me
More than you hold that guitar

I'll keep on saying
If you have to go away
I'll leave your shoes beside the bed
And if you have to go away
I'll want to be with you
I'll be with me instead
If you have to go away
I won't be sleeping very well
But if you have to go away
I'll be loving you
Till it's cold in hell

Maybe you'll write me this time
Maybe you'll call on a static line
Saying don't you ever worry your pretty mind
Cause you and me are gonna be fine

And so i'm saying
If you have to go away
I will be waiting by the phone
And if you have to go away
I'll put your records on
Pretend you're still at home

If you have to go away
I'll leave your shoes beside the bed
And if you have to go away
I'll want to be with you
I'll be with me instead
If you have to go away
I won't be sleeping very well
But if you have to go away
I'll be loving you
I'll be loving you
If you have to go away

Shoulder to the wheel
For someone else's selfish gain
Here there is no choosing
Working the clay
Wearing their anger like a ball and chain.

Fire in the field
Underneath a blazing sun
But soon the sun was faded
And freedom was a song
I heard them singing when the day was done
Singing to the holy One.

Lead me on
Lead me on
To a place where the river runs
Into your keeping, oh.

Lead me on
Lead me on
The awaited deliverance
Comforts the seeking...lead on.

Waiting for the train
Labelled with a golden star
Heavy hearted boarding
Whispers in the dark
"Where are we going--is it very far?"

Bitter cold terrain
Echoes of a slamming door
In chambers made for sleeping, forever
Voices like thunder in a mighty roar
Cry to the Lord.

Lead me on
Lead me on
To a place where the river runs
Into your keeping, oh.

Lead me on
Lead me on
The awaited deliverance
Comforts the seeking...lead on.

Man hurts man
Time and time, time again
And we drown in the wake of our power
Somebody tell me why.

Lead me on
Lead me on
To a place where the river runs
Into your keeping, oh.

Lead me on
Lead me on
The awaited deliverance
Comforts the seeking...lead on.

Lead me on
Lead me on
To a place where the river runs
Into your keeping, oh.

Lead me on
Lead me on
The awaited deliverance
Comforts the seeking...lead on

Laura loves her little family,
And she's the kind of woman who loves them with her life.
But sometimes in the evening,
When the world rests on her shoulders
With four walls closing in,
She'll close her eyes.

Oh....

It's not like she misses being younger,
Though she never was in Vogue magazine or on TV;
Her husband loves her dearly,
And the morning shows her clearly,
Kisses her little baby girl.
Laura, she's the queen of the world.

Can't imagine ever leaving now,
Now that she's been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love.
Listen to her quiet heart singing loud.
Laura, she's been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love.
I know that she's been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love.
Saved by love.

There's nothing quite like my family's love to warm me,
And nothing short of death's gonna ever leave me cold.
Well, still at times it's lonely,
But through it all it only
Makes me love Jesus more,
And this is what He came here for.

I can't imagine ever leaving now.
Now that I've been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love.
He's gone and turned my crazy world back around,
And I've been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love.
I know that I've been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love....

Oh, I'm never leaving now,
Now that I've been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love.
He's gone and turned my crazy world back around,
And I've been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love.
Amy, she's been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love....
Saved by love.

I'm saved by love.

That's right.
And nothing I can say,
Nothing I can do, nothing I can say.

We're all just saved by love.
Nothing you can say, nothing you can do.
Only love can say, only love can do,
Only love can say.

Only love can say, only love can do,
Only love can say.

I'm say-yay-yaved by,
I'm saved by, by,
Nothing you can do, nothing you can say,
Only love can say

Let me say once more that i love you,
Let me say one time, maybe two,
That i love the way that you love me,
And i wish i knew more of you.

One more time or just maybe two.

For the time i've spent here with you.

You look my way,
It's clear you trust each word i say.
When life is long and problems come,
You'll always be my only one.
So now we're standing face to face,
And with one look my eyes embrace me.
Squeeze away each haunting fear,
And say the words i long to hear.

Tell me that time won't erase
This look of love.

/pre>

There are two of me
One does the right thing,
One cannot see.
Standing back to back,
Who is the strong one
In the last act?
Every path I take,
Roads I go down,
Choices I make,
Take me right between
Patches of light and
Darkness in me.

Oh, we have to keep
A watch on our shadows--
Every move
They secretly make.
We try to be
So close to heaven,
But then our shadows,
They run away.
They pull away.

Oh....

And the shadows prove,
Falling behind,
Tracing each move, oh,
When I do some wrong,
There is no hiding;
Shadows are long.

So we have to keep
A watch on our shadows--
Every move (Every move)
They secret make, yeah, yeah,
We try to be
So close to heaven, (Mmmm....)
But then our shadows,
Pull us away.
They pull away....

We have to keep
A watch on our shadows--
Every move (Ooooh....)
They secretly make, yeah,
We try to be
So close to heaven,
But then our shadows,
They pull us away.

Oh, we have to keep
A watch on our shadows--
Every move (oooh....) they secretly make, yeah,
We try to be
So close to heaven,
But then our shadows
Pull us away.
Pull us away.

Pull us away.

(Ha, hu ha, oh no, cha cha.
Oh no, gotta keep our watch.
Keepin' it under my shadow.
Oh no, gotta keep our watch.
On my shadow.
Oh no, gotta keep our watch.
Keepin' it under my shadow.
Oh no, gotta keep our watch.
Keepin' it under my shadow.
Oh no, gotta keep our watch.
Keepin' it under my shadow.
Oh no, gotta keep our watch.
On my shadow.

I'm laying it all out on the table,
I'm telling you again what I've already told you before:
My love is not a soon forgotten fable;
My heart is not a box with a lock in a five and dime store.

So there's no need to question me and my feelings.
Oh, wondering if I am sure.
Ask me again, and I'll tell you the same,
Over and over.

Sure enough to never want to be without you,
Sure enough, to stay for good,
Sure enough in every little thing about you,
Sure enough.

Developing the art of collaboration,
It's dinner and a movie and a baby or two.
Now we are in the midst of a revelation, mm-hmm,
We're doing what a modern world said we could not do.

And even when our love is mellow and aging,
Oh, even when we're old and wise,
And we know then what we don't know now,
Well, I know I'll still be

Sure enough to never want to be without you,
Sure enough, to stay for good,
Sure enough in every little thing about you,
Sure enough.

(Ah, ha...that's good.)

Sure enough to never want to be without you,
Sure enough to stay for good, oh,
Sure enough in every little thing about you,
Sure enough.

Sure enough to never want to be without you,
Sure enough to stay for good,
Sure enough in every little thing about you,
Sure enough.

You know how...

Sure enough to never want to be without you,
Sure enough, oh, to stay for good,
Sure enough in every little thing about you,
Sure enough

One had vision
One came bringing its doom
One saw napalm
One heard the man in the moon
We were children of promise
We were heirs to their dreams

[Chorus:]
Tell me, why then is the hand slow
And the dog bites, well, I don't know
But the sky will fall
And heads will roll
And it's all that we can do
To wait for the healing

Hungry hearted reason coming of age
Running headlong into the latest rage
Always reaching within us
Claiming the answers are there

[Chorus]

For to carry on
For to stand when all is said and done
In the shadow of the rising sun
Longing, waiting for the healing

We are children of promise
We are heirs to the dream

[Chorus]

For to carry on
For to stand when all is said and done
In the shadow of the rising sun
Longing, waiting for the healing

I went to see my sister.
She was staying with a friend
Who had turned into a preacher
To save the world from sin.
He said, "First deny your body,
And then learn to submit.
Pray to be made worthy,
And tithe your ten percent."
I said, "Is this all there is,
Just the letter of the law?"
Something's wrong.

I went to see my brother
On the 32nd floor
Of a building down on Wall Street;
You could hear the future's roar.
He said, "Here we make decisions,
And we trade commodities;
If you tell me where there's famine,
I can make you guarantees."
I said, "Is this all there is,
Power to the strong?"
Something's wrong.

Something's wrong in heaven tonight.
You can almost hear them cry.
Angels to the left and the right,
Saying, "What about the love?
What about the love?
What about the love?"

I went to see my neighbor.
He'd been taken to a home
For the weak and the discarded
Who have no place to go.
He said, "Here I lack for nothing;
I am fed and I am clothed.
But at times I miss the freedom
I used to know."
I said, "Is this all there is,
When your usefulness is gone?"
Something's wrong.

Something's wrong in heaven tonight. (Something's wrong.)
You can almost hear them cry. (Cry.)
Angels to the left and the right,
Saying, "What about the love?
What about the love?
What about the love?"

(Yeah, yeah, yeah....)

(Yeah.)

(Yeah.)

I looked into the mirror, (Yeah.)
Proud as I could be, (Yeah.)
And I saw my pointing finger (Yeah.)
Pointing back at me,
Saying, "Who named you accuser? (Yeah.)
Who gave you the scales?" (Yeah.)
I hung my head in sorrow; (Yeah.)
I could almost feel the nails.
I said, "This is how it is
To be crucified and judged
Without love."

Something's wrong in heaven tonight. (Something's wrong.)
You can almost hear them cry. (Cry.)
Angels to the left and the right,
Saying, "What about the love?
What about the love?
What about the love of God?"

Something's wrong in heaven tonight. (Something's wrong.)
You can almost hear them cry. (Cry.)
Angels to the left and the right,
Saying, "What about the love?"
What about the love?
What about the love of God?"

Something's wrong in heaven tonight. (Something's wrong.)
You can almost hear them cry. (Cry.)
Angels to the left and the right,
Saying, "What about the love?
What about the love?
What about the 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, baby
I'm taken with a notion
To love you with
The sweetest of devotion

Baby, baby
My tender love will flow from
The blue sky to the deepest ocean

Stop for a minute
Baby, I'm so glad you're mine
Yeah, you're mine

Baby, baby
The stars are shining for you
And just like me
I'm sure that they adore you

Baby, baby
Go walkin' through the forest
The birds above are singin' you a chorus

Stop for a minute
Baby, they're so glad you're mine
Oh, yeah

And ever since the day
You put my heart in motion
Baby, I realized that there's
Just no gettin' over you

Baby, baby
In any kind of weather
I'm here for you
Always and forever

Baby, baby
No muscle man could sever
My love for you is true
And it will never

Stop for a minute
Baby, I'm so glad you're mine

And ever since the day
You put my heart in motion
Baby, I realized that
There's no gettin' over you

And ever since the day
You put my heart in motion
Baby, I realized that there's
Just no gettin' over you
Over you

Baby, baby
Always and forever
(Baby, I'm so glad)
I'm here for you baby
So glad you're mine
(Baby, I'm so glad)
When I think about you
It makes me smile
Baby, baby, be mine

(Baby, I'm so glad)
Don't stop givin' love
Don't stop, no
(Baby I'm so glad)
Glad that you're mine
Baby, I'm glad

Hear me speak what's on my mind
Let me give this testimony
Reaffirm that you will find
That you are my one and only

No exception to this rule
I'm simple, but I'm no fool
I've got a witness
Happy to say
Every hour, every day

Every heartbeat
Bears your name
Loud and clear they stake my claim
My red blood runs true blue
And every heartbeat belongs to you

Classic case of boy meets girl
Moving in the same direction
You're not asking for the world
I'm not asking for perfection

Just a love that's well designed
For passing the test of time
I'm here to tell you
I'm here to stay
Every hour, every day

Every heartbeat
Bears your name
Loud and clear they stake my claim
Ask anyone and they'll tell you it's true
And every heartbeat belongs to you

Every heartbeat
Bears your name
Loud and clear they stake my claim, yeah
My red blood runs true blue
And every heartbeat belongs to you

Ooooh...

Yeah sure, maybe I'm on the edge
But I love you baby, and like I said
I'm here to tell you
I'm here to stay
Every hour, every day


Every heartbeat
Bears your name
Loud and clear they stake my claim
Ask anyone and they'll tell you it's true
And every heartbeat belongs to you

Every heartbeat
Bears your name
Loud and clear they stake my claim, yeah
My red blood runs true blue
And every heartbeat belongs to you

*repeat until fade*

In the year of 1492
When Colombus sailed the ocean blue
Had he landed on India shore
You may never have come to knock on my door

CHORUS:
Who needs a rhyme or a reason
Some dreams were made to find
So I know that I must follow
Ask me just how much I love you
You are starlight, I'm Galileo
Even on the darkest night
Oh, I will find the shining light of our love

Through the rain clouds, thundering nights
Mr. Franklin stood there holding his kite
He was crazy, always pressing his luck
But he got what he wanted when lightning struck

*CHORUS X2

BRIDGE:
I believe in you
In the special love we could share
And baby one day darlin you'll turn around
And all I really know is I will be there

Who needs a rhyme or a reason
This dream was made to find
So I know that I will follow

Ask me just how much I love you
You are starlight; I'm Galileo
Even on the darkest night oh
I will find the shining light, I will find the shining light
Of our love

(Gospel chorus)
Ask me just how much i love (of our love)
I'm galileo
Even on the darkest night oh
I will find the shining light of our love

Ask me just how much I love you (of our love)
I'm Galileo

You like to dance and listen to the music
I like to sing with the band
You like your hands splashing in the ocean
Well I like my feet on the sand
Does anybody have it any better?
Isn't it easy to see just how well we fit together?

When I start to sing the blues
You pull out my dancing shoes
Oh you could be so good for me
You get brave when I get shy
Just another reason why
I think you could be so good for me
So good

You like to drive like Mario Andretti
I like it taking my time
But let me say wherever you are going
You know it suits me just fine
Does anybody have it any better?
Isn't it easy to see just how well we fit together?

When I start to sing the blues
You pull out my dancing shoes
I think you could be so good for me
You get brave when I get shy
Just another reaon why
I think you could be so good for me
So good.

Could be so good for me
You could be so good
Could be so good
Could be so good for me.

You get brave when I get shy
Another reason why
You could be so good for
Good for me baby
Good for me baby
When I want to sing the blues
Good for me baby
Oh when I want to sing the blues
Good for me baby
You could be so good
Good for me baby
When I want to sing the blues
Good for me baby.

Can't you see me runnin'
It's crazy don't you know

The moon is high
I'm workin' through the night
Will somebody tell me
Where do all the hours go (I don't know)

Well it don't stop, no it's never gonna stop
Why do I have to wear
So many things on my head

(Hats)
One day I'm a mother
One day I'm a lover
What am I supposed to do
(Hats)
Workin' for a livin'
All because I'm driven
To be the very best for you

The water is hot (so hot)
The phone don't stop
So how do I manage to hold on to my sanity
(I don't know baby I don't know)

My red dress on
Time for havin' fun (time for havin' fun)
But can I really be the girl you think you see in me

The spirit is willing
But the flesh is weak
Why do I have to wear
So many things on my head

(Hats)
One day I'm a mother
One day I'm a lover
What am I supposed to do
(Hats)
Workin' for a livin'
All because I'm driven
To be the very best for you
(Hats)
One day I'm a mother
One day I'm a lover
What am I supposed to do
(Hats)
Workin' for a livin'
All because I'm driven
To be the very best for you

This may be a dream come true
This may be poetry in motion
This may be a dream come true
But when it all comes down
It's an awful lot to take

It don't stop, no it's never gonna stop
Why do I have to wear
Things on my head

(Hats)
One day I'm a mother
One day I'm a lover
What am I supposed to do
(Hats)
Workin' for a livin'
All because I'm driven
To be the very best for you
(Hats)
One day I'm a mother
One day I'm a lover
What am I supposed to do
(Hats)
Workin' for a livin'
All because I'm driven
To be the very best, very best

Nah nah nah
What am I supposed to do
Workin' for a livin'
All because I'm driven
To be the very best

It don't stop no it's never gonna stop
Why do I have to wear
Why do I have to wear

(Hats)
One day I'm a mother
One day I'm a lover
What am I supposed to do
(Hats)
Workin' for a livin'
All because I'm driven
To be the very best for you (Fade)

I've got my hope set high
That's why I came tonight
I need to see the truth
I need to see the light.

I've got my hope set high
That's why I came tonight
I need to see the truth
I need to see the light
And I can do my best
And pray to the Father
But the one thing I ought to know by now

When it all comes down
When it all comes down
If there's anything good that happens in life
It's from Jesus.

You know that when it all comes down
When it all comes down
If there's anything good that happens in life
It's from Jesus.

I've got my hope set high
And like a star at night
Out of the deepest dark
It shines the purest light.

I've got my hope set high
Beyond the wrong and right
I need to see the truth
I need to see the light.
Cause I can do my best
And pray to the Father
But the one thing I ought to know by now

When it all comes down
When it all comes down
If there's anything good that happens in life
It's from Jesus.

I'll tell you when it all comes down
When it all comes down
If there's anything good that happens in life
It's from Jesus.

we said our promises by candle light
you held my hands
i was dressed in white
we were young
how can we see that far?
i knew i wanted you like no one else
i told my momma that i found myself in your eyes
how can we see that far?
how can we see that far?
but like you daddy said
the same sun that melts the wax can harden clay
and the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay
and the mighty wind that knocks us down if we lean into it will drive our fears away
and then i woke you in the dead of night
to hold my hands
push away the fright
life had come
how can we see that far?
how can we see that far?
yeah, we were nervous and a little scared
until the music of our baby's cry filled the air
how can we see that far?
how can we see that far?
but like your daddy said
the same sun that melts the wax can harden clay
and the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay
and the might wind that knocks us down if we lean into will drive our fears away
we might die
we might live
we could hurt each other badly
do things, things so hard to forgive
ooh, and if time is not our friend
your mind might forget me before the end
ohh, and i cannot look that far
but like your daddy said
the same sun that melts the wax can harden clay
and the same rain that drowns the rat will grow the hay
and the might wind that knocks us down if we lean into will drive our fears away
how can we see that far?
gotta lean into it
will drive our fears away
it's the same sun, yeah
and the same rain

I will be walking one day
Down a street far away
And see a face in the crowd and smile
Knowing how you made me laugh
Hearing sweet echoes of you from the past
I will remember you.

Look into my eyes while you're near
Tell me what's happening here
See that I don't want to say good-bye
Our love is frozen in time
I'll be your champion and you will be mine
I will remember you.

Later on
When this fire is an ember
Later on
When the nights not so tender
Given time
Though it's hard to remember darlin'
I will be holding
I'll still be holding to you
I will remember you.

So many years come and gone
And yet the memory is strong
One word we never could learn
Good-bye
True love is frozen in time
I'll be your champion and you will be mine
I will remember you
So please remember
I will remember you
I will remember you
I will remember you
I will remember you

Sometimes we make it harder than it is
We'll take a perfect night
And fill it up with words we don't mean
Dark sides best unseen
And we wonder why we're feeling this way.

Sometimes I wonder if we really feel the same
Why we can be unkind
Questioning the strongest of hearts
That's when we must start
Believing in the one thing that has gotten us this far.

Chorus
That's what love is for
To help us through it
That's what love is for
Nothing else can do it.
Melt our defenses
Bring us back to our senses
Give us strength to try once more
Baby, that's what love is for.

Sometimes I see you
And you don't know I am there
And I'm washed away by emotions
I hold deep down inside
Getting stronger with time
It's living through the fire
And holding on we find

Chorus

Believing in the one thing
That has gotten us this far
That's what love is for
To help us through it
That's what love is for
Nothing else can do it.
Round off the edges
Talk us down from the ledges
Give us strength to try once more
Baby, that's what love is for

That's what love is for.
That's what love is for
Melt our defenses
Bring us back to our senses
Give us strength to try once more
Baby, that's what love is for.
That's what love is for.
That's what love is for.
That's what love is for.

I saw you walking by yourself
Your eyes were crying out for help
I know you feel your pain is more
Than anyones been hurt before
I know love hurts when its over
If you wanna cry it's alright
You're like a fallen soldier
But you just can't lay down and die

You've got to remember you're not alone in this world
Always remember you're not alone in this world

The moment that I looked at you
I recognized the killing truth
You really think there's no way out
But if you let me, I can help you now
Through all these shattered emotions
There's a lesson to learn
So come on let me hold you closer
Love can soothe what love has burned

You've got to remember you're not alone in this world
Always remember you're not alone in this world
You've got to remember
never alone, never alone, never, never alone

I got to tell you baby
Through all these shattered emotions
There's a lesson to learn
So come on let me hold you closer
Love can soothe what love has burned

You've got to remember you're not alone in this world
Always remember you're not alone in this world

You've got to remember (got to remember) you're not alone in this world
Always remember (Always remember)
you're not alone in this world
You've got to remember (got to remember) you're not alone in this world
Always remember (Always remember)
you're not alone in this world

Love me tender, love me sweet, never let me go.
You have made my life complete and I love you so.
Love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfill.
For, my darlin', I love you and I always will.

Love me tender, love me long, take me to your heart.
For it's there that I belong and we'll never part.
Love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfill.
For, my darlin', I love you and I always will.

Love me tender, love me dear, tell me you are mine.
I'll be yours through all the years till the end of time.
Love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfill.
For, my darlin', I love you and I always will.

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

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.
Yes, 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.
I'm gonna make it.
I know it's hard for you to see.
Don't give up on me,
I couldn't take it.
If a part of me should keep you from seeing
The part of me that you'd start to believe in,
I'm changin' so please don't give up on me.

Don't give up on me,
Even when I fail so miserably.
Time and again I know
I stumble,
It makes me humble.

Don't give up on me.
But never let your love to be
Hanging on the things you see,
Counting all the times I fail to be
Everything you want from me;
I'm trying.
Hear me crying.

Don't give up on me.
I'm gonna make it.
I know it's hard for you to see.
Don't give up on me,
I couldn't take it.
If a part of me should keep you from seeing
The part of me that you'd start to believe in,
I'm changin' so please don't give up on 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.
I'm gonna make it.
I know it's hard for you to see.
Don't give up on me.
I couldn't take it.
If a part of me should keep you from seeing
The part of me that you'd start to believe in,
I'm changin' so please don't give up on me.

Don't give up one me.
I'm gonna make it.
I know it's hard for you to see.
Don't give up on me.
I couldn't take it.
If a part of me should keep you from seeing
The part of me that you'd start to believe in,
I'm changin' so please don't give up on me.

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.

I may not be every mother's dream for her little girl
And my face may not grace the mind of everyone in the world
But that's all right, as long as I can have one wish I pray
When people look inside my life, I want to hear them say

She's got her Father's eyes
Her Father's eyes
Eyes that find the good in things
When good is not around
Eyes that find the source of help
When help just can't be found

Eyes full of compassion
Seeing every pain
Knowing what you're going through
And feeling it the same

Just like my Father's eyes
My Father's eyes
My Father's eyes
Just like my Father's eyes

And on that day when we will pay
For all the deeds we have done
Good and bad they'll all be had
To see by everyone

And when you're called to stand and tell
Just what you saw in me
More than anything I know
I want your words to be

She had her Father's eyes
Her Father's eyes
Eyes that found the good in things
When good was not around
Eyes that found the source of help
When help would not be found

Eyes full of compassion
Seeing every pain
Knowing what you're going through
And feeling it the same

Just like my Father's eyes
My Father's eyes
My Father's eyes
Just like my Father's eyes
My Father's eyes
My father's eyes
Just like my Father's eyes

I remember many times when I was just a child,
How I played in that old house upon the farm.
With rocking chairs and squeaky stairs, all pieces of her world,
And a fire in her room to keep us warm.

'Cause no one is a stranger in Mimi's house,
'Cause love has made his home there in her heart.
And she's got that infectious way of laughing right out loud
That takes away my pain and lights the dark.

And now we're not as young as when I played there all the time,
And the visits seemed too scarce and far between,
But life goes on at Mimi's house, and in my mind I'm there,
With a fire in her room to keep us warm.

'Cause no one is a stranger in Mimi's house,
'Cause love has made his home there in her heart.
And she's got that infectious way of laughing right out loud
That takes away my pain and lights the dark.

And when I stop and think of how she's aging,
Growing strong and graceful in her God.
Well, you know it takes my fear away from aging;
She seems to know the secret that we'll never be apart.

'Cause no one is a stranger in Mimi's house,
'Cause love has made his home there in her heart.
And she's got that infectious way of laughing right out loud
That takes away my pain and lights the dark.

Yes, she's got that infectious way of laughing right out loud
That takes away my pain and lights the dark.

I love to sing and I love to pray,
Worship the Lord most every day.
I go to the temple, and I just want to stay
To hide from the hustle of the world and its ways.

And I'd
Love to live on a mountain top,
Fellowshipping with the Lord.
I'd love to stand on a mountain top,
'Cause I love to feel my spirit
Soar....

But I've got to come down
>From the mountain top
To the people in the valley below;
They'll never know
That they can go
To the mountain of the Lord.

Now praising the Father is a good thing to do,
To worship the Trinity in spirit and truth.
But if we worshipped all of the time,
Well, there would be no one to lead the blind.

But I'd
Love to live on a mountain top,
Just fellowshipping with the Lord.
And I'd love to stand on a mountain top,
'Cause I love to feel my spirit
Soar.... (Soar....)

But I've got to come down
>From the mountain top
To the people in the valley below;
They'll never know
That they can go
To the mountain of the Lord.

I am not saying that worship is wrong,
But worship is more than just singin' some songs,
'Cause it's all that we say and everything that we do;
It's letting God's Spirit live through you.

Still, I'd
Love to live on a mountain top
Fellowshipping with the Lord.
I'd love to stand on a mountain top,
'Cause I love to feel my spirit
Soar.... (Soar....)

Well, I may not get applause every night when I sing,
And I may not hear the cheers of a crowd.
And my voice can't always rise to make the mountains ring,
And at times I can't even sing out aloud.

But you've got me singing a love song,
Melody and rhyme;
It moves me every time.
You've got me singing a love song,
And it keeps you on my mind, ooooh, on my mind.
Feelin' fine all the time.
It keeps you on my mind.

Sometimes my voice is strained and the strings won't hold a tune.
My back is sore, and I'm just too tired to try,
And I don't want to work or rest or think of you,
Or face the world or even close my eyes.

But you've got me singing a love song,
Melody and rhyme;
It moves me every time; I know that,
You've got me singing a love song,
And it keeps you on my mind, ooooh, on my mind.
Feelin' fine all the time.
It keeps you on my mind.

My broken dreams, they don't bother me,
And hard times in life I don't mind.
I think of things that I'd rather see,
And you give me piece of mind.

Hard times will come and sometimes I won't wanna sing,
But I'll sing with all the love that I can find.
And I'm happy there to hear me in the silence of my song.
I'm gonna sing for you until the end of time.

'Cause you've got me singin' a love song,
Melody and rhyme;
It moves me every time.
You've got me singing a love song,
And it keeps you on my mind, ooooh, on my mind.
Feelin' fine all the time.
It keeps you on my mind.

And it keeps you on my mind.
You've got me singin' a love song.
And it keeps you on my mind.
You've got me singin' a love song....

He calls me to the darkness.
He tries to put some hardness
In my heart,
Pulling us apart.
He tells me that he needs me,
But lies are all he feeds
Into my life,
Day and night.

When I'm losing my sense of direction,
And I'm needing some strength and protection,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You, and when I,
When I think I can't stand any longer,
And I'm crying for someone that's stronger,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You.

There's nothing he can do,
His threat to me is through,
And I go walking away with You.

Lonely overtakes me,
Everyone forsakes me,
Friends are gone.
Pain is on.
Walls around my feelings,
Emptiness concealing
All my views,
All of You.

When I'm needing someone to console me,
Nearly dying for someone to hold me,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You, and when I'm,
When I'm faced with a tricky temptation,
I abandon the whole situation,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You.

Oh, what a fail safe plan,
Just staying hand in hand,
I'll keep on walking away with You.

I don't notice if no one's around me,
When I see that Your loving has found me,
Taken my surprise,
Like sunlight in a clouded sky....
When I'm dancing His light is a favor.
Au revoir to the stormy weather,
Walking from the night.
To a neverending light....

When I'm losing my sense of direction,
And I'm needing some strength and protection,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You, and when I,
When I think I can't stand any longer,
And I'm crying for someone that's stronger,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You.

When I'm needing someone to console me,
Nearly dying for someone to hold me,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You, and when I'm,
When I'm faced with a tricky temptation,
I abandon the whole situation,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You.

When I'm losing my sense of direction,
And I'm needing some strength and protection,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You, and when I,
When I think I can't stand any longer,
And I'm crying for someone that's stronger,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You.

All my my friends are happy to stay
Here in this yard day after day
But something inside me has called me away
I don't understand but I know I can't stay

I'm gonna fly
No one knows where
But I'm gonna fly
I'm lighter than air

Cause I have felt for the first time
I can be myself
No more faces to hide behind
Just a smile and a dream that's mine
Even if I am the only one who wants to fly

I'm gonna fly
No one knows where
But I'm gonna fly
I soar thru the air

All of my life seems I've waited
For the time to start
Being the person inside of me
Unafraid of being me
No more faces to hide behind
Just a smile and a dream that's mine
Even if I'm the only one who wants to fly

If I had my life to live over again
I'd run bare foot, relax a bit more
And I'd talk to more children
And I'd learn how they laugh
And I'd teach them how I've learned to fly

I'm gonna fly
No one knows where
But I'm gonna fly
I'm lighter than air

I'm gonna fly
No one knows where
But I'm gonna fly
I soar thru the air

Cause all of my life seems I've waited
For the time to start
Being the person inside of me
Unafraid of being me
Even if I'm the only one who wants to fly...
I'm gonna fly

Do you have a heavy heart?
'Cause you try to play the part
Of a life that you don't know,
And now it's scaring you?
'Cause you're saying all the right words,
But no one's ever heard
The voice that's crying out
Inside your heart....

Saying, please don't make me die for you.
I've gotta make you see,
That there's a part of me
I never want to lose.
But if I have to die for you,
Somehow let me see,
That you're more than words--
I need a glimpse of you.

But it sunk the church again.
And the habit to pretend
Is stronger than you knew,
Look how it's ruling you.
But it's friends you try to blame.
Oh, I've done it just the same.
'Cause it's easier than answering to Him.

You think that they're playing games,
And leave and never act the same,
And you don't want a part of their show.
Yes, you think there's something more,
But not inside these holy doors,
Well, what are you looking for?

Yes, we have to die for Him,
That's the struggle, don't you see?
'Cause it's the hardest thing
You'll ever have to do.
But no, it's not impossible;
He's been waiting so long for you.
But don't be afraid--
He knows the pain,
Because He had to do it
For you, for you....

(A one...two three four.)

Someone's got to keep it on going,
Just as long as they're folks who haven't heard.
So you can count on me, 'cause He's showing
There's so many ways to spread His Word.

Don't you know that
Someone's got to keep it on going, (keep it going)
Just as long as they're folks who haven't heard.
So you can count on me, 'cause He's showing
There's so many ways to spread His Word.

Don't you really know that
Someone's got to keep it on going, (sooooomeone!) (keep it going)
Just as long as they're folks who haven't heard.
So you can count on me, 'cause He's showing
There's so many ways to spread His Word.

Got to listen to me,
Someone's got to keep it on going, (sooooomeone!) (keep it going)
Just as long as they're folks who haven't heard.
So you can count on me, 'cause He's showing
There's so many ways to spread His Word.

Yeah.

In the morning when I wake
And my feet can find the floor
I stumble down the hall
And I open up the door

Then I look into the mirror
Just like you know you do
Stopping for a moment
I can feel my mind go through

The boundaries of time
Back to a heart without his love inside
I was more than just alone
I was dying on my own
Thinking that nothing was ever gonna save my life

CHORUS
Look what has happened to me
I find it hard to believe
His love has taken my life
This far, so far
Look what has happened to me
My mind can hardly conceive
What I'm beginning to be
Look what, look what

When you stop to think it over
Do you think you're doing well
Are you getting stronger
Can you really tell

If you're truthful with your feelings
Then you'll see there's room to grow
Though we may have found the answer
There is so much more to know

More to this life
You can never stop growing, or you'll start to die
I cannot survive alone
I am nothing on my own
But seeing's believing and if you need to see
Look at me

Repeat CHORUS x 2 and fade

I had laid some mighty plans,
Thought I held them in my hands.
Then my world began to crumble all away.
I tried to build it back again;
I couldn't bear to see it end,
How it hurt to know You wanted it that way.

And I'm so glad,
Glad to find the reason,
That I'm happy-sad
That You've torn it all away,
And I'm so glad,
Though it hurts to know I'm leaving
Everything I ever thought that I would be.
Once I held it in my hand.
It was a kingdom made of sand.
But now You've blown it all away.
I can't believe that I can say,
That I'm glad.

Long before my plans were made,
I know a master plan was laid,
With a power that superseded my control.
And if that truth could pierce my heart,
I wouldn't wander from the start,
Trying desperately to make it on my own.

And I'm so glad,
Glad to find the reason,
That I'm happy-sad
That You've torn it all away,
And I'm so glad,
Though it hurts to know I'm leaving
Everything I ever thought that I would be.
Once I held it in my hand.
It was a kingdom made of sand.
But now You've blown it all away.
I can't believe that I can say,
That I'm glad.

So glad.
Oh, I'm so glad.
So glad....
Oh, I'm so glad....
Yes, I'm glad....
So very, very glad....

La la la....
La la la....
La, la la, la la, la la, la la....
Da da da....

There are burdens that I carry every day,
Sometimes they want to make me cry.
Hopeless feelings harbored deep inside my heart,
And I find it hard to hold my head up high.
In the middle of the darkness in my life,
I find the strength to carry on.
I am holding to a promise Jesus made,
And I know it won't be long till we'll be gone.

In a while, we'll be gone,
And we won't have to cry anymore, no,
All our sorrows left behind,
And that's the day that I am waiting for.
And that's the day that I am longing for.

Oh....

If you feel there is no meaning in your life.
And it seems you've lost your way.
Listen closely to the voice that's deep inside,
And remember what the Savior has to say.

In a while, we'll be gone,
And we won't have to cry anymore, no,
All our sorrows left behind,
And that's the day that I am waiting for.
And that's the day that I am longing for.
And that's the day that I am looking for.

Oh....

Da, da da, da da, da da, da da, da da....
Da, da da, da da, da da....

Well, it's too late for walking in the middle,
Too late to try.
Yes, it's too late for sitting in the balance,
No more middle line.

Oh, it's too late for walking on fences,
Time to choose your side.
Yes, it's too late for flirtin' with the darkness,
Make up your mind.

Oh, the time has come for making a decision,
And you say you've found the light.
But the talk is cheap when I see the way you're living,
Walking in the night.

Well, it's too late for walking in the middle,
Too late to try.
Yes, it's too late for sitting in the balance,
No more middle line.

Oh, it's too late for thinking you can walk the middle line...
Better get wise.

You may think that you can live by your feelings,
Different every night.
But an emotional religion will crumble at our feet,
If we're made to stand and fight.

Well, it's too late for walking on fences,
Time to choose you side.
Yes, it's too late for flirtin' with the darkness,
Make up your mind.

Well, it's too late for thinking you can walk the middle line...
Better get wise.

Well, it's too late for walking in the middle,
Too late to try.
Yes, it's too late for sitting in the balance,
No more middle line.

Oh, it's too late for walking on fences,
Time to choose your side.
Yes, it's too late for flirtin' with the darkness,
Please make up your mind.

Well, it's too late for walking in the middle,
Too late to try.
Yes, it's too late for sitting in the balance,
No more middle line.

Oh, it's too late for walking on fences,
Time to choose your side.
Yes, it's too late for flirtin' with the darkness,
Please make up your mind.

What a difference you've made in my life.
What a difference you've made in my life.
You're my sunshine day and night.
Oh, what a difference you've made
In my life.

What a change you have made in my heart.
What a change you have made in my heart.
You replaced all the broken parts.
Oh, what a change you have made
In my heart.

Love to me was just a word in a song
That had been way overused.
But you gave love a meaning,
So I joined in the singing,
That's why I wanna spread the news.

What a difference you've made in my life.
What a difference you've made in my life.
You're my sunshine day and night.
Oh, what a difference you've made,
(what a difference you've made,)
What a difference you've made in my life.

What a difference you've made in my life.
What a difference you've made in my life.
You're my sunshine day and night.
What a difference you've made.

(What a difference you've made in my life.)
What a difference you've made in my life.
(What a difference you've made in my life.)
Difference you've made in my life.
(You're my sunshine day and night.)
What a difference you've made.

(What a difference you've made in my life.)
Difference you've made in my life.
(Difference you've made in my life.)
You're my sunshine day and night.
What a difference you've made.

(What a difference you've made in my life.)
You've made a difference in me.
(What a difference you've made in my life.)
You've made a change in my life.
You're my sunshine day and night.

You gave me time
When no one gave me time of day
You looked deep inside
While the rest of the world looked away
You smiled at me
When there weren't just friends everywhere
You gave me love
When nobody gave me a prayer

That's why I call you Savior
That's why I call You friend
'Cause You touched my heart
You touched my soul
And helped me start all over again
That's why I love You Jesus
That's why I'll always care
'Cause You gave me love
When nobody gave me a prayer

You gave me laughter
After I'd cried all my tears
You heard my dreams
While the rest of the world just closed its ears
I looked in Your eyes and I found such tenderness there
'Cause You gave me love
When nobody gave me a prayer

That's why I call you Savior
That's why I call You friend
'Cause You touched my heart
You touched my soul
And helped me start all over again
And that's why I love You Jesus
That's why I'll always care
'Cause You gave me love
When nobody gave me a prayer
Yes He gives us love
When nobody gives us a prayer...

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.

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.

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.

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.

I may not be every mother's dream for her little girl
And my face may not grace the mind of everyone in the world
But that's all right, as long as I can have one wish I pray
When people look inside my life, I want to hear them say

She's got her Father's eyes
Her Father's eyes
Eyes that find the good in things
When good is not around
Eyes that find the source of help
When help just can't be found

Eyes full of compassion
Seeing every pain
Knowing what you're going through
And feeling it the same

Just like my Father's eyes
My Father's eyes
My Father's eyes
Just like my Father's eyes

And on that day when we will pay
For all the deeds we have done
Good and bad they'll all be had
To see by everyone

And when you're called to stand and tell
Just what you saw in me
More than anything I know
I want your words to be

She had her Father's eyes
Her Father's eyes
Eyes that found the good in things
When good was not around
Eyes that found the source of help
When help would not be found

Eyes full of compassion
Seeing every pain
Knowing what you're going through
And feeling it the same

Just like my Father's eyes
My Father's eyes
My Father's eyes
Just like my Father's eyes
My Father's eyes
My father's eyes
Just like my Father's eyes

Giggle.
Giggle if you want to.
But I know it's still true.
That He's always gonna love me.
So just laugh out...
If you think I'm uncool,
Playin' the part of the fool,

'Cause I love Him!
Don't you know how I love Him?
Oh, well, I do!

When I see somebody cryin',
Some person who's real mean.
I want to quickly walk right by him,
But I'll stop for You.
Dear Lord, but
Must I hug him real tight now?
He smells so bad, I'll faint.
What will my friends think if I kill my pride, I can't.

Well, giggle.
Giggle if you want to.
But I know it's still true.
That He's always gonna love me.
So just laugh out...
If you think I'm uncool,
Playin' the part of the fool,

'Cause I love Him!
Don't you know how I love Him?
Oh, well, I do!

When I'm in a sticky situation,
Sitting in a class at school,
Everyone is talking evolution,
No one talks of You.
My hand goes up,
I don't want to be too pushy.
My arm, it feels like lead,
But there's such a joy they're missing saying, "God is dead."

So giggle.
Giggle if you want to.
But I know it's still true.
That He's always gonna love me.
So just laugh out...
If you think I'm uncool,
Always playin' the part of the fool,

'Cause I love Him!
Don't you know how I love Him?
Oh, well, I do!

(A one...two three four.)

Someone's got to keep it on going,
Just as long as they're folks who haven't heard.
So you can count on me, 'cause He's showing
There's so many ways to spread His Word.

Don't you know that
Someone's got to keep it on going, (keep it going)
Just as long as they're folks who haven't heard.
So you can count on me, 'cause He's showing
There's so many ways to spread His Word.

Don't you really know that
Someone's got to keep it on going, (sooooomeone!) (keep it going)
Just as long as they're folks who haven't heard.
So you can count on me, 'cause He's showing
There's so many ways to spread His Word.

Got to listen to me,
Someone's got to keep it on going, (sooooomeone!) (keep it going)
Just as long as they're folks who haven't heard.
So you can count on me, 'cause He's showing
There's so many ways to spread His Word.

Yeah.

It's a cold, cold world
That we walk in through.
Lay down the burden of your heart.
But it's warm as toast
Walking two by two,
Lay down the burden of your heart.

Lay down the burden of your heart.
I know you'll never miss it.
Show your Daddy where it hurts,
And let your Daddy lift it.

It's a fine, fine line
Betwixt love and hate.
Why, it's tough to tell the two apart.
But you know it's love
That He offers you.
Lay down the burden of your heart.

Lay down the burden of your heart.
I know you'll never miss it.
Ohh-ohh, show your Daddy where it hurts,
And let your Daddy lift it.

Lay down the burden of your heart.
I know you'll never miss it.
Ohh-ohh, show your Daddy where it hurts,
And let your Daddy lift it.

Ohh-ohh, show your Daddy where it hurts,
And let your Daddy lift it.

There's never been a doubt,
But sometimes I feel afraid.
We need to talk it out;
That always makes it okay.

Sometimes friends don't understand
The love I have for you,
But everywhere I go, I know,
I just want more of you.

I will never give you up, Lord,
Not in a million years.
I will never give you up, never give you up,
Not for as long as I live.
I will never give you up, Lord,
Not in a million years,
'Cause you have put this love inside my heart.

(Oooo-oooh, oooo-oooh, oooo-oooh.)

I know you know me well;
You know the struggle that's in my mind.
But since you hold my heart,
I'll leave the struggles behind.

I don't have to understand
This love I have for you,
'Cause everywhere I go, I know,
I just need more of you.

I will never give you up, Lord,
Not in a million years.
I will never give you up, never give you up,
For as long as I live.
I'm so glad I found you. (So glad I found you.)
Want to build my life around you. (Oooo-oooh.)
Oh, you've got to know
That I'll never let go of you. (Never let go.)

Oh, I will never give you up, Lord,
Not for a million years.
I will never give you up, never give you up,
For as long as I live.
I will never give you up, Lord,
Not for a million years,
'Cause you have put this love inside my heart.

(Never give you up, Lord,)
For a million years.
I will (never give you up, never give you up,)
For as long as I live.
I will (never give you up, Lord,)
For a million years,
'Cause you have put this love inside my heart.

(Never give you up, Lord,)
For a million years.
I will (never give you up, never give you up,)
For as long as I live.

There will never be another
Who will love me like You.
There will never be another
Who could hold me, mold me.
There will never be another
Who could love me purely.
No, there will never be another
Who has loved me like You.

And I know that there will never be another love
Who could ever be the love that You are.
'Cause You had so much to lose, but still You gave it up
For your scars.
But that's the way You are.

And if I spent my life attending Universities,
Educated in the wisdom of men,
And if I could even quote a guy like Socrates,
Even then,
I couldn't comprehend

That there will never be another
Who will love me like You.
There will never be another
Who could hold me, mold me.
There will never be another
Who could love me purely.
No, there will never be another
Who has loved me like You.

And I know I'll never understand the mystery
If I live to be a hundred and three,
How You died to live the love you give to me.

That there will never be another
Who will love me like You.
There will never be another
Who could hold me, mold me.
There will never be another
Who could love me purely.
No, there will never be another
Who has loved me like You.

There will never be another
Who has loved me like You.

I never thought I needed someone
Till you came away.
How I ever lived without you
I don't know to this day.

There were times I could have done letter, I know,
But even when I fail you or your love
Would never let go.

You were there (You were there)
When I needed someone to talk to. (Talk to)
You were there (You were there)
When I could not find my way, oh,
You know you could have given up on me
When you'd see that nobody cared.
You were there!
You were there!

You know I've faced the same temptation
Time and again, (Time and again)
But how could someone leave this warmth
To go out in the rain.

No one else could ever offer me more
Then your love and your understanding,
A love I've never known before.

You were there (You were there)
When I needed someone to talk to. (Talk to)
You were there (You were there)
When I could not find my way, oh,
You know you could have given up on me
When you'd see that nobody cared.
You were there! (You were there!)
You were there! (You were there!)
You were there! (You were there!)
You were there.

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

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.
Yes, 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.
I'm gonna make it.
I know it's hard for you to see.
Don't give up on me,
I couldn't take it.
If a part of me should keep you from seeing
The part of me that you'd start to believe in,
I'm changin' so please don't give up on me.

Don't give up on me,
Even when I fail so miserably.
Time and again I know
I stumble,
It makes me humble.

Don't give up on me.
But never let your love to be
Hanging on the things you see,
Counting all the times I fail to be
Everything you want from me;
I'm trying.
Hear me crying.

Don't give up on me.
I'm gonna make it.
I know it's hard for you to see.
Don't give up on me,
I couldn't take it.
If a part of me should keep you from seeing
The part of me that you'd start to believe in,
I'm changin' so please don't give up on 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.
I'm gonna make it.
I know it's hard for you to see.
Don't give up on me.
I couldn't take it.
If a part of me should keep you from seeing
The part of me that you'd start to believe in,
I'm changin' so please don't give up on me.

Don't give up one me.
I'm gonna make it.
I know it's hard for you to see.
Don't give up on me.
I couldn't take it.
If a part of me should keep you from seeing
The part of me that you'd start to believe in,
I'm changin' so please don't give up on me.

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.

Sweet and gentle as the night.
Just being near you now,
Is like a lullaby.

All that I have I give away to follow you,
I can't imagine having life without you, oh....

When all thesee worldly battles,
Seem to never cease,
You simply lift me up,
And rest me in Your peace.

I heard some people say, You're only in my mind.
I hope that someday, You'll choose to find them.

All other loves will slowly fade,
Like dying flame.
Tomorrow, now, and yesterday,
You're still the same.

I wake with a longing heart to see you come again;
Your sweet and tender love will never end.

Do you have a heavy heart?
'Cause you try to play the part
Of a life that you don't know,
And now it's scaring you?
'Cause you're saying all the right words,
But no one's ever heard
The voice that's crying out
Inside your heart....

Saying, please don't make me die for you.
I've gotta make you see,
That there's a part of me
I never want to lose.
But if I have to die for you,
Somehow let me see,
That you're more than words--
I need a glimpse of you.

But it sunk the church again.
And the habit to pretend
Is stronger than you knew,
Look how it's ruling you.
But it's friends you try to blame.
Oh, I've done it just the same.
'Cause it's easier than answering to Him.

You think that they're playing games,
And leave and never act the same,
And you don't want a part of their show.
Yes, you think there's something more,
But not inside these holy doors,
Well, what are you looking for?

Yes, we have to die for Him,
That's the struggle, don't you see?
'Cause it's the hardest thing
You'll ever have to do.
But no, it's not impossible;
He's been waiting so long for you.
But don't be afraid--
He knows the pain,
Because He had to do it
For you, for you....

It must have happened sometime in the night,
No one saw the stone be rolled away.
When the grave saw morning light,
The skeptics and friends all had to say,

It's a miracle,
It's a miracle,
It's a miracle happened today.
It's a miracle,
It's a miracle,
He took the stone, and He rolled it away.

My soul is like a tomb in constant night;
Till one day the stone was rolled away.
Then my heart saw morning light,
And no one alive can explain it away.

It's a miracle,
It's a miracle,
It's a miracle happened today.
It's a miracle,
It's a miracle,
He took the stone, and He rolled it away.

Now, now won't you see,
What I'm trying to say?
If you believe, it could happen today!

It's a miracle,
It's a miracle,
It's a miracle happened today.
It's a miracle,
What a miracle,
He took the stone, and He rolled it away.

It's a miracle,
What a miracle,
It's a miracle happened today.
It's a miracle,
What a miracle,
He took the stone, and He rolled it away.

(It's a miracle,) You know it's really a miracle,
A miracle, a miracle,
(It's a miracle,) You know it's really a miracle,
He took the stone, and He rolled it away.

(It's a miracle,) You know it's really a miracle,
A miracle, a miracle,
(It's a miracle,) You know it's really a miracle,
He took the stone, and He rolled it away.

In the morning when I wake
And my feet can find the floor
I stumble down the hall
And I open up the door

Then I look into the mirror
Just like you know you do
Stopping for a moment
I can feel my mind go through

The boundaries of time
Back to a heart without his love inside
I was more than just alone
I was dying on my own
Thinking that nothing was ever gonna save my life

CHORUS
Look what has happened to me
I find it hard to believe
His love has taken my life
This far, so far
Look what has happened to me
My mind can hardly conceive
What I'm beginning to be
Look what, look what

When you stop to think it over
Do you think you're doing well
Are you getting stronger
Can you really tell

If you're truthful with your feelings
Then you'll see there's room to grow
Though we may have found the answer
There is so much more to know

More to this life
You can never stop growing, or you'll start to die
I cannot survive alone
I am nothing on my own
But seeing's believing and if you need to see
Look at me

Repeat CHORUS x 2 and fade

(Ohhh....)

Let me say once more that I love you,
Let me say one time, maybe two,
That I love the way that you love me,
And I wish I knew more of you.

Let me say once more that I love you,
Let me say one time, maybe two,
That I love the way that you love me,
And I wish I knew more of you.

Tell me that time can't erase
This look of love on your face.

Let me say once more that I need you,
One more time or just maybe two.
Oh, my life will always be richer
For the time I've spent here with you.

Let me say once more that I love you,
Let me say one time, maybe two,
That I love the way that you love me,
And I wish I knew more of you.

Tell me that time won't erase
The way that my heart sees your face.

I call your name,
You look my way,
It's clear you trust each word I say.
When life is long and problems come,
You'll always be my only one.
So now we're standing face to face,
And with one look my eyes embrace me.
Squeeze away each haunting fear,
And say the words I long to hear.

Tell me that time won't erase
This look of love.

Ohhhh....

Let me say once more.
I love you.
I do, I do, I do, I do, I do.

Let me say once more that I love you,
Let me say one time, maybe two,
That I love the way that you love me,
And I wish I knew more of you.

Let me say once more that I love you,
One more time or just maybe two,
That I love the way that you love me,
And I want to know more of you.

I had laid some mighty plans,
Thought I held them in my hands.
Then my world began to crumble all away.
I tried to build it back again;
I couldn't bear to see it end,
How it hurt to know You wanted it that way.

And I'm so glad,
Glad to find the reason,
That I'm happy-sad
That You've torn it all away,
And I'm so glad,
Though it hurts to know I'm leaving
Everything I ever thought that I would be.
Once I held it in my hand.
It was a kingdom made of sand.
But now You've blown it all away.
I can't believe that I can say,
That I'm glad.

Long before my plans were made,
I know a master plan was laid,
With a power that superseded my control.
And if that truth could pierce my heart,
I wouldn't wander from the start,
Trying desperately to make it on my own.

And I'm so glad,
Glad to find the reason,
That I'm happy-sad
That You've torn it all away,
And I'm so glad,
Though it hurts to know I'm leaving
Everything I ever thought that I would be.
Once I held it in my hand.
It was a kingdom made of sand.
But now You've blown it all away.
I can't believe that I can say,
That I'm glad.

So glad.
Oh, I'm so glad.
So glad....
Oh, I'm so glad....
Yes, I'm glad....
So very, very glad....

La la la....
La la la....
La, la la, la la, la la, la la....
Da da da....

There are burdens that I carry every day,
Sometimes they want to make me cry.
Hopeless feelings harbored deep inside my heart,
And I find it hard to hold my head up high.
In the middle of the darkness in my life,
I find the strength to carry on.
I am holding to a promise Jesus made,
And I know it won't be long till we'll be gone.

In a while, we'll be gone,
And we won't have to cry anymore, no,
All our sorrows left behind,
And that's the day that I am waiting for.
And that's the day that I am longing for.

Oh....

If you feel there is no meaning in your life.
And it seems you've lost your way.
Listen closely to the voice that's deep inside,
And remember what the Savior has to say.

In a while, we'll be gone,
And we won't have to cry anymore, no,
All our sorrows left behind,
And that's the day that I am waiting for.
And that's the day that I am longing for.
And that's the day that I am looking for.

Oh....

Da, da da, da da, da da, da da, da da....
Da, da da, da da, da da....

Well, it's too late for walking in the middle,
Too late to try.
Yes, it's too late for sitting in the balance,
No more middle line.

Oh, it's too late for walking on fences,
Time to choose your side.
Yes, it's too late for flirtin' with the darkness,
Make up your mind.

Oh, the time has come for making a decision,
And you say you've found the light.
But the talk is cheap when I see the way you're living,
Walking in the night.

Well, it's too late for walking in the middle,
Too late to try.
Yes, it's too late for sitting in the balance,
No more middle line.

Oh, it's too late for thinking you can walk the middle line...
Better get wise.

You may think that you can live by your feelings,
Different every night.
But an emotional religion will crumble at our feet,
If we're made to stand and fight.

Well, it's too late for walking on fences,
Time to choose you side.
Yes, it's too late for flirtin' with the darkness,
Make up your mind.

Well, it's too late for thinking you can walk the middle line...
Better get wise.

Well, it's too late for walking in the middle,
Too late to try.
Yes, it's too late for sitting in the balance,
No more middle line.

Oh, it's too late for walking on fences,
Time to choose your side.
Yes, it's too late for flirtin' with the darkness,
Please make up your mind.

Well, it's too late for walking in the middle,
Too late to try.
Yes, it's too late for sitting in the balance,
No more middle line.

Oh, it's too late for walking on fences,
Time to choose your side.
Yes, it's too late for flirtin' with the darkness,
Please make up your mind.

He calls me to the darkness.
He tries to put some hardness
In my heart,
Pulling us apart.
He tells me that he needs me,
But lies are all he feeds
Into my life,
Day and night.

When I'm losing my sense of direction,
And I'm needing some strength and protection,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You, and when I,
When I think I can't stand any longer,
And I'm crying for someone that's stronger,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You.

There's nothing he can do,
His threat to me is through,
And I go walking away with You.

Lonely overtakes me,
Everyone forsakes me,
Friends are gone.
Pain is on.
Walls around my feelings,
Emptiness concealing
All my views,
All of You.

When I'm needing someone to console me,
Nearly dying for someone to hold me,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You, and when I'm,
When I'm faced with a tricky temptation,
I abandon the whole situation,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You.

Oh, what a fail safe plan,
Just staying hand in hand,
I'll keep on walking away with You.

I don't notice if no one's around me,
When I see that Your loving has found me,
Taken my surprise,
Like sunlight in a clouded sky....
When I'm dancing His light is a favor.
Au revoir to the stormy weather,
Walking from the night.
To a neverending light....

When I'm losing my sense of direction,
And I'm needing some strength and protection,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You, and when I,
When I think I can't stand any longer,
And I'm crying for someone that's stronger,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You.

When I'm needing someone to console me,
Nearly dying for someone to hold me,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You, and when I'm,
When I'm faced with a tricky temptation,
I abandon the whole situation,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You.

When I'm losing my sense of direction,
And I'm needing some strength and protection,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You, and when I,
When I think I can't stand any longer,
And I'm crying for someone that's stronger,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with 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

If you see the moon,
Rising gently on your fields.
If the wind blows softly on your face.
If the sunset lingers,
While cathedral bells peal,
And the moon has risen to her place,

You can thank the Father
For the things that He has done.
And thank Him for the things he's yet to do.
And if you find a love that's tender,
If you find someone who's true,
Then thank the Lord --
He's been doubly good to you.

If you look in the mirror,
At the end of a hard day,
And you know in your heart you have not lied.
And if you gave love freely,
If you earned an honest wage,
And if you've got Jesus by your side,

You can thank the Father
For the things that He has done.
And thank Him for the things He's yet to do.
And if you find a love that's tender,
If you find someone who's true,
Thank the Lord --
He's been doubly good to you.

You can thank the Father
For the things that He has done.
And thank Him for the things He's yet to do.
And if you find a love that's tender,
If you find someone who's true,
Thank the Lord --
He's been doubly good to you....

Thank the Lord --
He's been doubly good to you.

Day turns to night, and I turn into bed.
Can't get to sleep; something's in my head.
Pacing the floor, I try to force a rhyme.
Why do I fear this time?

It's not a song till it touches your heart.
It's not a song till it tears you apart.
After what's left of what's right and what's wrong,
Till it gets through to you,
It's not a song.

Now close your eyes; look into your hand.
What do you see?
Life is our song, to give and learn to take.
Time will not wait.

Oh, won't you please come dance,
While the song's still playing,
Won't be long till the silence falls.

It's not a song till it touches your heart. (It's not a song.)
It's not a song till it tears you apart.
After what's left of what's right and what's wrong,
Till it gets through to you,
It's not a song.

It's not a song till it touches your heart. (It's not a song.)
It's not a song till it tears you apart.
After what's left of what's right and what's wrong,
Till it gets through to you,
It's not a song.

It's not a song till it touches your heart. (It's not a song.)
It's not a song till it tears you apart.
After what's left of what's right and what's wrong,
Till it gets through to you,
It's not a song.

It's not a song till it touches your heart. (It's not a song.)
It's not a song till it tears you apart.
After what's left of what's right and what's wrong,
Till it gets through to you,
It's not a song.

Consider the lilies of the field,
Solomon dressed in royal robes
Has not the worth of them.
Consider the lilies of the field.
He takes after each and every need.
Leave all your cares behind,
Seek Him and you will find
Your Father loves you so.

Consider the creatures of the air.
For all of the diamonds in all the earth
Have not the wealth of them.
Consider the creatures of the air.
Jehovah loves them with tender hand.
He knows your every care,
His touch is always there
To see you through the night.

And Jehovah I love You so,
And Jesus I want You to know,
All you've done for me to set me free,
I'll never let you go.
And Jehovah I love You so,
And Jesus I want You to know,
All You've done for me to set me free,
I'll never let You go.

Consider the lilies of the field.
For how much more does He love His own,
If Yaweh cares for them.
Consider the creatures of the air.
He takes after each and every need.
If we ask Him for bread,
Will He give us a stone?
Jehovah loves His own.

And Jehovah I love You so,
And Jesus I want You to know,
All you've done for me to set me free,
I'll never let You go.
And Jehovah I love You so,
And Jesus I want You to know,
All You've done for me to set me free,
I'll never let you go.

And Jehovah I love You so,
And Jesus I want You to know,
All you've done for me to set me free,
I'll never let You go.

And Jehovah I love You so,
And Jesus I want You to know,
All you've done for me to set me free,
I'll never let You go.
And Jehovah I love You so,
And Jesus I want You to know,
All you've done for me to set me free,
I'll never let You go.

And Jehovah I love You so,
And Jesus I want You to know,
All you've done for me to set me free,
I'll never let You go.
And Jehovah I love You so,
And Jesus I want You to know,
All you've done for me to set me free,
I'll never let You go.

(Ne'er let You go....)

(Never go....)

Day by day, dream by dream.
I fight to find the way to go.
Every day opens a different door.
Every dream shadows the one before.
But slowly I can see
The way You've made for me.

Straight ahead, I can see Your light.
Straight ahead, through the dark.
Straight ahead, there's no left or right.
Straight ahead, to your heart.

Carry on through the night,
When the road is hard to find.
Lying lights tell me to turn around.
Lying thoughts tell me I'm lost not found.
But clearly I can see
You're waiting there for me.

Straight ahead, I can see Your light.
Straight ahead, through the dark.
Straight ahead, there's no left or right.
Straight ahead, to your heart.

Straight ahead, (straight ahead),
Straight ahead, (straight ahead),
Straight ahead, (straight ahead),
Straight ahead, (straight ahead).

Straight ahead (straight ahead), I can see Your light.
Straight ahead, through the dark (through the dark).
Straight ahead, there's no left or right.
Straight ahead, to your heart.

Straight ahead....

No longer what we were before,
But not all that we will be.
Tomorrow, when we lock the door,
On all our compromising,
When He appears,
He'll draw us near,
And we'll be changed by His glory,
Wrapped up in His glory....

We will be like Him,
For we shall see Him,
As He is.

(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la....)

No longer what we saw before,
But not all that we will see.
Tomorrow, when we lock the door,
On all our disbelieving,
When He appears (holy, holy),
Our view will clear,
And we'll be changed by His glory,
Wrapped up in His glory....

But I'm caught in between
The now and the not yet;
Sometimes it seems like
Forever and ever,
That I've been reaching to be
All that I am,
But I'm only a few steps nearer,
Yet I'm nearer....

No longer what we were before,
But not all that we will be.
Tomorrow, when we lock the door,
On all our disbelieving,
And He appears (holy, holy),
He'll draw us near,
And we'll be changed by His glory,
Wrapped up in His glory....

When He appears (holy, holy),
He'll draw us near,
And we'll be changed by His glory,
Wrapped up in His glory....

Thy Word
Is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path

Thy Word
Is a lamp unto my feet

When I feel afraid
Think I've lost my way
Still You're there
Right beside me

Nothing will I fear
As long as You are near
Please be near me to the end

Thy Word
Is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path

Is a lamp unto my feet

I will not forget
Your love for me and yet
My heart forever is wandering

And hold me to Your side
And I will love You to the end

Nothing will I fear
As long as You are near
Please be near me to the end

Thy Word
Is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path

Thy Word
Is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path

And a light unto my path
You're the light unto my path

Lay down your failures and excuses,
All of the dreams that never come true;
The past is a crutch you've been using;
Time you broke that thing in two.
Open your eyes to tomorrow.
Open your life to His care.
Open your past to His mercy.
Open your heart, He'll be there.

We've got tomorrow;
There'll be changes made inside.
We've got tomorrow;
Gonna take it all in stride.
If we just follow,
God will lead us to His side.
If this day went wrong
You gotta pick up,
You gotta move on to tomorrow.

Yesterday's gone for forever.
We'll never change a thing we've done.
But the guilt is behind us,
If our heart's moving on.
Never give an inch (never give an inch) to disbelieving;
What God said, He's gonna do,
And He said when He started,
He's never gonna quit until He's through.

We've got tomorrow;
Don't let trouble fill your head.
We've got tomorrow;
You gotta believe what He said.
Just follow. He'll be here until the end,
So keep hanging on,
Until you pick up,
Until you move on to tomorrow.

I know some things can take time.
But I believe He changes minds.
Tell me when are you gonna see?
All you gotta do is believe!

We've got tomorrow;
There'll be changes made inside.
We've got tomorrow;
Gonna take it all in stride.
If we just follow,
God will lead us to His side.
If this day went wrong
You gotta pick up,
You gotta move on to tomorrow (tomorrow).

Don't let trouble fill your head.
We've got tomorrow (tomorrow);
You gotta believe what He said.
And follow (follow). He'll be here until the end,
So keep hanging on,
Until you pick up,
Until you move on until tomorrow (tomorrow).

There'll be changes made inside.
We've got tomorrow (tomorrow);
Gonna take it all in stride.
If we just follow (follow);
God will lead us to His side.
If this day went wrong
You gotta pick up,
You gotta move on to tomorrow (tomorrow).

Don't let trouble fill your head.
Tomorrow (tomorrow).
You gotta believe what He said.
Just follow (follow). He'll be here until the end,
So keep hanging on,
Until you pick up,
Until you move on to tomorrow (tomorrow).

I call you on the phone
But you're not at home.
Where do you go when you're hurting?
I hear you're down again,
Lost the will to win.
Why do you run when your hurting?
Oh, where do you hide your heart?
Where do you hide your heart?

Leave the hurt behind you
Love has found you now
And He'll never let you go.
Oh, you've got to know
That Jesus will not leave us now,
So leave your cares behind.
Oh, leave your cares behind.

When you're feeling low
Let me let you know,
That we're all sad sometimes.
Jesus carries you,
He's gonna see you through;
He'll never leave 'cause He loves you.
Oh, where do you hide your heart?
Tell me, where do you hide your heart?

Leave it all behind you
Love has found you now
And He'll never let you go.
Oh, you've got to know
That Jesus will not leave us now.
He'll never let you go.
He'll never let you go.

Where do you hide your heart?
Where do you hide your heart?

Leave the hurt behind you
Love has found you now
And He'll never let you go.
It's so good to know
That Jesus will not leave us now.
He'll never let you go.
He'll never let you go.

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

You know some days I like me,
Some days I don't
Some days I try with passion,
Sometimes I won't
I might just hold my guard up,
And lock my heart up tight;
But it's the door that's open,
Letting in the light
There's a battle ragin',
Inside of me;
It's a holy struggle,
And it won't let go of me!

No, no, no
I don't wanna stop the fighting
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I just wanna live right

Oh!

I used to sit and ponder,
If I'd be fine
If Jesus lived His own life,
And I lived mine
But love is such a magnet,
It pulled me night and day
Until my needy heart,
Just couldn't stay away
Life can drive you crazy,
Or just about;
But even when it's most frustrating
This kid's not walking out!

No, no, no
I don't wanna stop the fighting
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Sure it's tough but I won't deny it
No, no, no
I don't wanna waste my life hiding
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I just wanna live right

I've made up my mind now,
I don't wanna lose out, (unguarded)
Beginning to see now,
What the fight is about (unguarded heart)
I gotta stay open,
Keep defenses all down (unguarded)
Don't wanna be hiding,
When the love comes round!

No, no, no
I don't wanna stop the fight, now
Whoa, whoa, whoa
I just wanna live right, now

No, no, no...

You tell me your friends are distant
You tell me your man's untrue
You tell me that you've been walked on
And how you feel abused

So you stand here an angry young woman
Taking all the pain to heart
I hear you saying that you want to see changes
But you don't know how to start

Love will find a way
(How do you know?)
Love will find a way
(How can you see?)
I know it's hard to see
The past and still believe
Love is gonna find a way
I know that love will find a way
(A way to go)
Love can make a way
(Only love can know)
Leave behind the doubt
Love's the only out
Love will surely find a way

I know this life is a strange thing
I can't answer all the whys
Tragedy always finds me
Taken again by surprise

I could stand here an angry young woman
Taking all the pain to heart
But I know that love can bring changes
And so we've got to move on

Love will find a way
(How do you know?)
Love will find a way
(How can you see?)
I know it's hard to see
The past and still believe
Love is gonna find a way
I know that love will find a way
(A way to go)
Love can make a way
(Only love can know)
Leave behind the doubt
Love's the only out
Love will surely find a way

If our God His Son not sparing
Came to rescue you
Is there any circumstance
That He can't see you through?

Love will find a way
(How do you know?)
Love will find a way
(How can you see?)
I know it's hard to see
The past and still believe
Love is gonna find a way
I know that love will find a way
(A way to go)
Love can make a way
(Only love can know)
Leave behind the doubt
Love's the only out
Love will surely find a way

You were pretty crazy,
Back when we fell in love.
Wanting to be everything,
That I would be proud of.
Hours we spent dreaming,
How we'd beat the odds.
Now the truth has hit us.
Life is very hard.
Life can be so hard.

Chorus:
I love you.
Deeper than I ever dreamed of,
I need you. (I need you.)
Staying here 'til we can work it out,
I want you.
Knowing that through all the changes,
I love you. (I love you.)
Somehow I just had to tell you now.

(Yeah)
Oh, to stay your princess,
If I only could.
If you never saw the rotten;
Only saw the good.
You'd still be prince charming,
But we would never know,
How it's in the darkest times,
True love finally grows.
Come on true love grow.

(Repeat Chorus)

You got me, I got you.
Sometimes it takes a little working through,
But I can tell you now...

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

(I need you.)
(I love you.)
(I need you.)
(I love you.)

They say love is cruel
They say love is rather fragile
But I've found in You
A love of another kind.

They say love brings hurt
I say love brings healing
Understanding first
It's a love of another kind.

(Bridge)
The love I know
Is a love so few discover
They need to know
Jesus' love is like no other.

They save love won't last
I say love is neverending
Cause in You I have
A love of another kind.

They would change their tune
They would add another measure
If they only knew
This love of another kind.

(Repeat Bridge)

Let Him come down to where you are
You can have life that's everlasting
Can't you see this is just the start.

Tell me, tell me, where do you come from (yeah)
Tell me, tell me, why do you pretend to know.

Like it or not
Life is ours for the living.
Only one shot
What's the advice you're getting?
Work hard in school.
Learn the good rule and
Try to make good for you.

No one could see
Hanging within the balance,
Helpless me.
I only want help to hear me
Evil and light
Caught in a fight.
They're trying to capture me.

But you cared about me now
Now and forever!

Chorus:
There'll never be anyone
Who can take the place of you;
There'll never be anyone
Stepping in your shoes.
There'll never be anyone
Giving it all to pull me through;
There'll never be anyone, (there'll never be anyone)
Stepping in your shoes.

Only through you,
Sin on innocent shoulders,
Could you undo
Darkness' power to hold us,
Once for all time,
Choosing to die;
I'll never deserve you.

And you cared about me now
Now and forever!

(Chorus)

Oh....
Oh....

There will never be anyone
Stepping in your shoes.
There will never be anyone
Stepping in your shoes.

(Repeat Chorus Three Times)

I face the day again
Against the window pane.
I remain your closest friend,
And wish you back again.
You wonder how I feel;
You think you've pushed too far.
If only you could see this pen
Scribbling down my heart.

I'll be waiting.
I may be young or old and gray,
Counting the days,
But I'll be waiting,
And when I finally see you come,
I'll run when I see you--
I'll meet you.

But still the days drag on.
Why did you decide to go?
Did you only need to see
What only time can show?

I'll be waiting.
I may be young or old and gray,
Counting the days,
But I'll be waiting,
And when I finally see you come,
I'll run when I see you.

And even if
You never do return,
Still I will have learned
How to love you better.

I'll be waiting.
I may be young or old and gray,
Counting the days,
But I'll be waiting,
And when I finally see you come,
I'll run to meet you.

I'll be waiting.
I may be young or old and gray,
Counting the days,
I'll be waiting,
And when I finally see you come,
I'll run to meet you.

Don't take a ride from a stranger,
No way to know where they go.
You may be left on a long dark road,
Lost and alone.
Don't you recall what your Mama told?
You've got to learn hot from cold.
When you're afraid that you might get burned,
Where do you turn?

You've got to know who to, (who to)
Who not to listen to.
You've gotta know who to, (ooooh....)
Who not to listen to.
Well, you know, they're gonna hit you from all sides,
Better make up your mind
Who to, who not to listen to.

(Who to listen to.)

How can you learn what is true and just?
How to know who to trust?
Here comes a man with a scam to sell.
How can you tell?
You've gotta know there's a bigger plan,
Room to fall, room to stand.
Pray for the plan to begin in you;
Keep your heart true.

You've got to know who to, (who to)
Who not to listen to.
You've gotta know who to,
Who not to listen to. (Who to listen to.)
Well, you know, they're gonna hit you from all sides,
Better make up your mind
Who to, who not to listen to.

It's gonna hit you from all sides,
Better make up your mind
Who to, (who to), who not to listen to.

Everyone will have their words to say....
Find the word to help you find your way....

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...yeah...ah....)

You've got to know who to, (who to)
Who not to listen to.
You've gotta know who to,
Who not to listen to. (Who to listen to.)
Well, you know, they're gonna hit you from all sides,
Better make up your mind
Who to, who not to listen to.

They're gonna hit you from all sides,

(Who to listen to.)

(You've got to know.

(They're gonna hit you from all sides.

Got myself in this situation,
I'm not sure about.
Climbing in where there's temptation,
Can I get back out?
I never can quite find the answer,
The one I want to hear.
The one that justifies my action
Says the coast is clear.
Something on the outside
Says to jump on in,
But something on the inside
Is telling me again,

Chorus:
Better wise up.
Better think twice.
Never leave room for compromise.
You better wise up.
Better get smart.
And use your head to guard your heart.
It's gonna get rough,
So you better wise up.

Take a look at your intentions,
When you have to choose.
Could it be that apprehension,
Might be telling you,
To back off now is better,
So take your heart and run.
But get your thoughts together,
Before they come undone.

(Repeat Chorus)

(You got to wise up.
You got to think twice.
You got to wise up.
You got to. You got to.)

To back off now is better,
So take your heart and run.
But get your thoughts together,
Before they come undone.

(Repeat Chorus)

So you better wise up.
Better think twice.
And never leave room for compromise.
Oh, you better wise up.
Better get smart.
And use your head to guard your heart.
It's gonna get rough,
So you better wise up.

(You got to wise up.
You got to think twice. (Hohhhh!)
You got to wise up. (Oh, yeah!)
You got to. You got to.)

So you better wise up, now....

(You got to wise up.
You got to think twice. (Better wise up, y'all!)
You got to wise up.
You got to. You got to. (Oh, yeah!))

(You got to wise up.
You got to think twice. (Better...)
You got to wise up. (Oh, you better wise up, now....)
You got to. You got to. (Ohhhhh, yeah!!!))

(You got to wise up. (Hoo! Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoooooooo-hoo!!)
You got to think twice.
You got to wise up.
You got to. You got to. (Oh, got to show yo', yeah!))

(You got to wise up.
You got to think twice. (Hoaa!! Oowwwww!!!)
You got to wise up.
You got to. You got to.)

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

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

Everybody needs a helping hand
Take a look at your fellow man
And tell me what can I do today
'Cause everybody needs a helping out
If that ain't what it's all about
Tell me what
What can I do
What can I do today

We've all seen trouble from time to time
There is a mountain ahead
I've got no strength to climb, hey
If you're feeling that you're strong
Reach out to me
I hope this journey won't take long
But won't you please
Have mercy

What can I do today

I'm talking 'bout the soul all alone
Needing the daily bread
Someplace to lay his head, yeah, hey
And I'm talking about the neighbor on your street
Won't you look him in the eye
Take time to speak
That's mercy, yeah, 'cause...

(

)

Love one another
Sister and brother
Love is the only way, hey

(

Twice)

What can I do today
Everybody needs a helpin', helpin'
Everybody needs a helping hand
Everybody needs a helpin', helpin'
Everybody needs a helping hand

Everybody needs a helping hand
Everybody needs it, oh, everybody needs it
Everybody needs a helping hand
Oh, everybody needs it, oh, yeah, oh, everybody needs it
Oh, yeah, everybody needs a helping hand
Everybody needs it, oh, everybody needs it
Everybody needs a helping hand
Everybody needs it

Well, I bet you any amount of money
He'll be coming back to you
Ooh, I know there ain't no doubt about it
Sometimes life is funny
You think you're in your darkest hour
When the lights are coming on in the house of love

Ooh, house of love

You've been up all night
Thinking it was over
He's been out of sight
At least for the moment
But when something this strong
Ooh, Gets a hold on you
The odds are ninety-nine to one
It's got a hold on him too


When the lights are coming on in the house of love

Now when the house is dark
And you're all alone inside
You've gotta listen to your heart
And put away your foolish pride
Though the storm is breaking
And thunder shakes the walls
Love with a firm foundation
Ain't never, never, never gonna fall

Though the storm is breaking
And thunder shakes the walls
Love with a firm foundation
Ain't never, never, never gonna fall

Well, I bet you any amount of money
He'll come back to you
Ooh, I know there ain't no doubt about it
Sometimes life is funny
You think you're in your darkest hour
When the lights are coming, lights are coming on

Well, I bet you any amount of money, baby
He'll be coming back to you
Back to you, back to you
Ooh, I know there ain't no doubt about it
Sometimes life is funny
You think you're in your darkest hour
When the lights are coming on in the house of love
Oooh, yeah
Ooh, I know there ain't no doubt about it
Sometimes life is funny
You think you're in your darkest hour
When the lights are coming on in the house of love

I have found a perfect mystery
Love has a hold on me
Long before my life had come to be
Love had a hold on me
Love has a hold on me

Where do I come from
Where does life mean
Is it not to know the one who made me

As I'm looking down the road ahead
Love has a hold on me
Someday when I breathe my dying breath
Love has a hold on me
Love has a hold on me

Where will I go
When this life is through
Back into the light that made me and you

Love has a hold on me
Something opened up my eyes to see
Love has a hold on me
Love has a hold on me

I don't have answers to all the questions
Running inside of my mind
But I can't help believe that
Understanding comes in time

Love has a hold on me
Something opened up my eyes to see
Love has a hold on me
Love has a hold on me

If I run, if I hide, I know inside
Your love has a hold on me
Tell me yes, tell me no, my heart will follow
Your love has a hold on me

If I run, if I hide
Your love has a hold on me
Your love has a hold on me
Your love has a hold on me
Hold on me
