Now That You've Come Into My Life
(Mark Schulz)

Now that You've come in
Now that You've come into my life
All that was faded
All that was faded is like a heartbeat
That's been restored
Like a faith that has been reborn

In the end
In the end

(Chorus)
Yeah, we were under the same moon
We were under the same sky
We were searching for something
But I just didn't realize
That all that I needed
All that I needed all this time
You're just what I wanted
Now that You've come into my life

Now that you've come in
Now that you've come into my life
All that was broken
All that was broken is like the way it was meant to be
Like a feeling, Iv'e been set free
In the end
In the end

(Chorus)

Not afraid
Anymore
Anymore
Not afraid

Each night I sit alone
I dial you on the phone
But you're not there
Oh are you there?
Can't keep my heart from breaking
Can't keep my mind from thinking
You're not here
I need you here
CHORUS(*):
But just because you feel alone
It doesn't mean we're letting go
I will be with you 'til the very end...
CHORUS:
So don't close your eyes
Don't say goodbye
Don't let the tears fall
from your eyes
I can't help but think about you night and day
When you stumble
When you fall
I'll help you make it through it all
'Cause when I think of you
I fall in love again
Can't teach my heart to listen
Oh it just keeps on missing how it was
The memories of
You right there by my side oh
Never dreamed of letting go
But now you're gone
It feels so wrong
CHORUS(*)
CHORUS
I believe in faith above
In giving everlasting love
I believe there is a chance for us
CHORUS

I'm down on my knees again tonight
I'm hoping this prayer will turn out right
See there is a boy that needs Your help
I've done all that I can do myself
His mother is tired
I'm sure You can understnad
Each night as he sleeps
She goes in to hold his hand
And she tries not to cry
As the tears fill her eyes

Can You hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can You see him?
Can You make him feel all right?
If You can hear me
Let me take his place somehow
See, he's not just anyone
He's my son

Sometimes late at night I watch him sleep
I dream of the boy he'd like to be
I try to be strong and see him through
But God who he needs right now is You
Let him grow old
Live life without this fear
What would I be
Living without him here
He's so tired and he's scared
Let him know that You're there

Can You hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can You see him?
Can You make him feel all right?
If You can hear me
Let me take his place somehow
See, he's not just anyone
He's my son

Can You hear me?
Can You see him?
Please don't leave him
He's my son

You've got a secret no one knows
Locked away where no one goes
Deep inside your heart
It's tearing you apart

You hide the pain in all you do
Still the shackles binding you
Are heavier than stone
But you are not alone

Pre-

When you're down
Look around
And you'll see...I am with you
Look to Me
And you'll see
I will be...there to guide you
Take My hand
And I can
Lead you on...for you know



I am the answer
I am the way
I am the promise
I have called your name

So you want a brand new start
Asking Me into your heart
Down on bended knee
For the world to see

And the chains around your heart
Fall away and break apart
Suddenly you see
The truth has set you free


Pre-






Surrounded by darkness you stumbled along
Knowing the road that you traveled was long
But I'm here beside you...yes, here all along
The One that will carry you on


Pre-






Oh when you are down
You think no one's around
But I'll be with you both day and night

I know the good times
I'll see you through bad times
Oh you know that I'm here to stay





When you're down
Look around
And you'll see I am with you

I saw the light - I saw the light - Oh I saw the light - He lived in a crowded
Jamaican infirmary - Many were brought there to die - Days of starvation
complete deprivation - And illness had taken his sight - But a doctor came to
the village there - And treated him with the finest care -
Said that time would tell - The doctor went to bed that night - And when he awoke
in the morning light - The man could not be found - He was singing from a hill

Oh I can see - I saw the light - I saw the light - Oh I saw the light -
And he sang Amazing Grace to show - A loving God for all to know -
With love and faith and grace - Oh I can see -

We met and my eyes could not hide how I felt - When I looked at him tattered and torn -
But he captured me with a smile that seems so out of place - From the pain
he'd endured - And he told me of a sacrifice - That had given him eternal life -
He was not alone - He spoke about a greater plan - And I began to understand -
My life was not my own - And I am here to say -

And I sang Amazing Grace to show - A loving God for all to know -
With love and faith and grace - Oh I can see - Amazing Grace how
sweet the sound - That saved a wretch like me oh - I once was lost
but now am found

I'm holding this picture
You drew when you were four
It was one we proudly hung
On our refrigerator door
I found it in the attic
In your old dresser drawer
By a pillow that we made you
And a blanket that you had
When we learned to chase the monsters
From underneath your bed
And I remember
How I learned how to hold you when you cried
I learned how to let you be strong
Learned how to calm you in the dark
Learned how to listen with my heart
I learned how to watch you grow
But how will I learn to let go
And when I walk in your bedroom
The memories that I keep
Are bedtime stories
And rocking you to sleep
And as I held you
You'd drift off to dream
And I know
it might sound crazy
Now that you are grown
But yesterday still feels
Like the day we brought you home
And I remember

On the go on a Texas plains
Just a little town that never changed
Until a man rode into town
A ranger known for miles around
He could keep the peace without a gun
From Abilene down to Galveston

Oh woh woh woh
Oh woh woh woh
Oh woh woh woh
In Iverson

Through the doors of the old hotel
A burning fire began to build
People screamin' for their lives
And the first there was John Mcbride
Just as soon as he stepped in
People saw the roof cave-in
Everybody knew that he would not survive

Oh woh woh woh
Oh woh woh woh
Oh woh woh woh
In Iverson

Then a lady right outside
Said her baby boy was trapped inside
Not a man could fight the flames
Ans she knew that it would be to late
When through the smoke and the burning flame
She heard her baby call her name
The boy appeared but no one knew who saved his life

When the boy grew old and gray
He spoke about that fateful day
And the man that saved his life
Texas ranger John Mcbride

Oh woh woh woh
Oh woh woh woh
Oh woh woh woh
In Iverson

Oh woh woh woh
Oh woh woh woh
Oh woh woh woh
In Iverson
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh woh woh woh
Oh woh woh woh
Oh woh woh woh
in Iverson

Still I travel far an wide, yeah
To hear the legend of Mcbride, woh, yeah

You gotta nice job in an office on the
Seventh floor
Oh but you're looking out the window
And you're thinking that there's
something more
You clear your head
You close your eyes
But something deep inside you cries


:
Let's go, let's go to the great unknown
Find the one that rolled away the stone
Let's go to the four inch hole
Find a way to give like we never gave before
Let's go, going far and wide
Pack your bag and leave it all behind
What are we waiting for
Let's go

Back home through the middle of the
parking lot
You give away the car
Give away the money that you've got
Neighbors will talk
And oh they should
Saying something ain't right
in the neighborhood

Remember Me
In a Bible cracked and faded by the years.
Remember Me
In a sanctuary filled with silent prayer

And age to age
And heart to heart,
Bound by grace and peace.
Child of wonder,
Child of God,
I've remembered you,
Remember Me.

Remember Me
When the color of the sunset fills the sky
Remember Me
When you pray and tears of joy fall from your eyes.

And age to age
And heart to heart,
Bound by grace and peace.
Child of wonder
Child of God,
I've remembered you,
Remember Me

Remember Me
When the children leave their Sunday school with smiles
Remember Me
When they're old enough to teach,
Old enough to preach
Old enough to leave.

And age to age
And heart to heart
Bound by grace and peace
Child of wonder,
Child of God,
I've remembered you,
Remember Me.

Age to age
And heart to heart
Child of wonder
Child of God
Remember Me.

First day of recess, they all laughed at me
when I fell off the swing set and scraped up my knee.
The nurse called my momma to say I'd be late,
when she gave me the phone I could hear momma say,

King of Kings
Lord of Lords
Prince of Peace
I am

Early morning, summer's day
At a park, in the city
Kids were playing on a swing
They were black and white
Then a lady walked that way
As she did most every morning
Grocery bags in her hand
She was passing by

She stopped
Stared
Watched their laughter fill the air
She laughed
cried
Because the love of God was color blind...



When you give
When you love
When you serve
You do it unto me

On a cross, up on a hill
Where the world would be forgiven
Was a man,called to make the greatest sacrafice
He lived a life of love,gave away all He'd been given
Sent from the one above,and He gave His life
To love,serve
He came down from Heaven to spread the word
To teach,pray
And this is what He had to say




Give away all you've been given
This is what you're looking for deep inside
Jesus Christ

Take me to the river
Wash in the water
Take me to the river
Dunk me in the water




King of Kings
Lord of Lords
Prince of Peace
I Am

I see it in your eyes
the pain you keep inside
It's slowly tearing you apart
though you've run away
Reminded day by day
You've stumbled and you've fallen
Still He's callin'


:

I believe that he loves you where you are
I believe that you've seen the hands of God
I believe that you'll know it when
You're back in His arms again
I believe that He never let you go
I believe that He's wanting you to know
I believe that He'll lead you 'til
You're back in his arms again.

Glad I found you here
'Cause in between the tears
Something in your eyes shows hope
And I stand before you now
As one that knows about
Coming to Him open
And broken




And I know that He's calling
He's calling you Home




One Life, one love, one way, Home
And when you rise and when you fall
He will see you through it all
He is waiting you are called, back in His arms again

Sitting here on the dock as the sun is setting
Red and gold in a purple sky
And the breeze through the trees keeps them gently rocking
Just like the waves that are keeping time

And I know You are all around me
I'm so glad You came and found me

Out here tonight I'm caught so up in wonder
So many things that I've wanted to say
Thank You for life and for love and for laughter
Thanks for this heart that is finding its way
Back to You

All around, hear the sound of creation singing
Lift their praise up to God on high
I know You're there, know You care, I know You made the moment
I take a breath and I close my eyes

And I know You are all around me

I know that I gotta get on...

A chapter done
Turn the page
And separate roads
Lead separate ways
But as we go, we're not alone
No, we're not alone

Because faith and hope and love
Are waiting for you when we say goodbye
Where would we be without the Faith
Where would we be without the Hope
Where would we be without the Faith
The one that God alone has made

Because faith and hope and love
Are waiting for you when we say
Faith, hope and love
Are waiting for you when we say goodbye

Where would we be without the Faith
Where would we ve without the Hope
Where would we be without the Faith
The one that God alone has made

Because faith, hope and love
Are waiting for you when we say
Faith, hope and love
Are waiting for you when we say goodbye

Yea, though I walk
Down in the valley of the shadow of darkness
I will not fear
I will fear no evil

Because faith, hope and love
Are waiting for you when we say
Faith, hope and love
Are waiting for you when we say goodbye
Because faith and hope and love
Are waiting for you when we say goodbye
Faith and hope and love
Waiting for you when
We'll be praying until then
Waiting for you when we say goodbye

Verse 1:

Gentle friend,
You knew my name.
Yet with Your hand You calmed the storm and healed the lame.
As You spoke,
People came.
And as the crowds would gather 'round they called out,
"Holy One, are You the Holy One, who was sent by God to show the way?"

Verse 2:

I wasn't there,
The night they came:
Those who saw and feared the miracles you made.
You took the nails,
You bore the pain.
And as they hung You on the cross and mocked you,

"Holy One, if You're the Holy One, let your God come save You from the grave."

Verse 3:

I just heard the news today,
I just came to find you but they said You'd gone away.
I just wanted to hear You say, that you had to go
But that You'd be back again.

Verse 4:

Early morn,
Break of day.
Came in time to find the rock You rolled away.
I found Your robe,
An empty grave.
And as I fell upon the ground I cried out,
"Holy One, You are the Holy One, and You came and gave Your life away."

"Holy One, You are the Holy One and You came and gave Your life away."

"I am the life, I am alive, I came to show the way."

In a room without a view, a new mother smiles and holds
the tiny fingers of her brand new baby girl.
Her husband takes her by the hand, so unsure about the future
have no money can they make it in this world?
And they pray, Lord all we have to give is love
then they heard a gentle voice like an echo from above,

I have been there. I know what fear is all about.
Yes, I have been there and I'm standing with you now.
I have been there
And I came to build the
oh so this road could lead you home.
Oh I have been there.

He's been a pastor twenty years
but tonight he sits alone and broken hearted in the corner of the church
He tried to change a fallen world
with his words and with his wisdom but it seems like it is only getting worse
And he cries, Oh Lord I just don't understand
Then he felt the hand of grace, and he heard a voice that said

I have been there, I know what pain is all about
yes I have been there, and I'm standing with you now
I have been there, and I came to build a

oh so this road could lead you home
oh i have been there.

An older man up on a hill
holding flowers but he can't hold back the tears.
oh he has come to say goodbye.
he thinks about the life she lived,
thinks about how hard it's been to live without her
sixty years right by his side
and he cries, oh Lord i loved her till the end
and he heard a gentle voice say you'll see her once again

I have been there
I know what sorrow's all about
yes i have been there and i'm standing with you now
i have been there, and i came to build a

oh so this road could lead her home, the road could lead her home

The wind blows hard against this mountainside
Across the sea into my soul
It reaches in to where I cannot hide
Setting my feet upon the road
My heart is old it holds my memories
This heart it burns a gem like flame
Somewhere between the soul and soft machine
Is where I find myself again

Kyrie Eleison down the road that I must travel
Kyrie Eleison through the darkness of the night
Kyrie Eleison where I go you will follow
Kyrie Eleison on a highway in the light

When I was young I dreamed of growing old
Of what my life would mean to me
Would I have traveled down my chosen road
Or only wish that I could be

He packed his bags when he was just 18
To see a world he thought he'd never seen
But he knew when he met her
That she was the girl
He'd been waiting for

And each night they spent talking on the front porch swing
And like it came straight out of a movie scene
But one night she stepped out as the sun began to set
When she got to the porch she found a letter that read

You're the only girl I'll ever love
And I'd do anything not to give you up
If I could only stop the world
When you're standing by my side
See I'm having the time of my life
Yes, I'm having the time of my life

The months went by it was their wedding day
A church on a hill wedding bells rang away
She looked like a princess
All dressed up in pearls
It was her proudest day

And he stood all alone in a darkened church hallway
He got down on his knees and he started to pray
He thanked the Lord for his family and the perfect bride
But he couldn't hold back what he was feelin' inside
And he said

She's the only girl I'll ever love
And I'd do anything not to give her up
If I could only stop the world
When she's standing by my side
See, I'm having the time of my life
Yes, I'm having the time of my life

Forty years went by and she lived most of God's plan
She stood alone in an attic, wedding dress in her hand
And she held an old letter written so long ago
But she'd never forget it
No matter how old

And as she turned to put the dress away
And pack up the years
He was standing in the doorway
With his eyes full of tears
And he held her

'Cause you're the only girl I'll ever love
And I'd do anything not to give you up
If I could only stop the world
When you're standing by my side
See I'm having the time of my life
Yes, I'm having the time of my life

Packing my bag this morning was the hardest thing to do,
But packing my bag was so easy compared to standing outside your door
right now to say goodbye,

Think of me...
I know you've never seen me cry,
Think of me...
But it's so hard to say goodbye,
Think of me...
what can I say to show you,
I'll never give up on you
I will be waiting for you

I will be there when you call
I will see you through it all
and even in your darkest hour,
I pray that the Lord we found
Will set you on solid ground

(
)
I know that it feels like leaving
is a part of letting go
But I'm praying with hope and believing
That I'll see you once again down this road
I hope that it won't be long

Think of me...
I know God brought you as a friend,
Think of me...
I know he'll bring you back again,
Think of me...
What can I say to show you,
I

Words and Music by Mark Schultz
From the recording: Song Cinema, Track #10.

When I'm calling out can you hear me calling Jesus?
When I'm crying out can you hear me crying Jesus?
Holy Lamb
Great I am

How long, how long? Until we see Jesus

Jesus, Jesus we are calling You
Jesus, Jesus we are calling You

Language: Kituba (Kikongo)
Be to ke lombila Yesu-(we are praying to Jesus)
Yamba ye-(Welcome Him; literally, embrace Him, give Him a hug)
Yangalala-(joy)
Landu Nzila-(follow the path, the path of God to Heaven)
Nzila ya Nzambi nazulu

You stand on the edge You followed the call
No turning back you are risking it all
He whispers your name In a moment of truth
The rocks fall around you
The ground starts to move

You step out on faith It's all that you know
You jump into darkness and hold onto hope

When the mountains fall
When the rivers rise
Security crumbles before your eyes
The one thing you know
In faith you'll find
Something to stand on or
you will be taught to fly

So dream your dreams
And live your life
Knowing there's more than to merely survive
Don't give up, don't give in
Fight through the rain and lean into the wind
'Til you come to the edge of all that you know
Run right through the dark
knowing you're not alone

When you walk through the fire
It will not consume you
Though the water will rise
It won't overtake you
Though the mountains will fall
Oh, still I am with you
I've called you by name
And I will not leave you
I'm learning to trust you
I'm learning to fly

I'm learning to trust you
I'm learning to fly -

I'm trading my sorrows,
I'm trading my shame,
I'm laying them down, for the joy of the Lord
I'm trading my sickness
I'm trading my pain
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord

Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord , yes yes Lord Amen

I am pressed but not crushed,
persecuted not abandoned
Struck down but not destroyed
I am blessed beyond the curse for
His promise will endure
That His joy's gonna be my strength
Through the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning

Closer to me I'm tired and I'm weak
And every breath within me is longing just to be
Closer to You
So I face the road ahead
Cause I know there's no comparing
To what's waiting at the end

So let the rain start falling where it will
And I will run through this valley
Just to climb to that hill
And if they ask why I'm smiling
After all I've been through
It's cause I'm just a day closer to You

Closer to me I hear You whisper on the wind
You say although my life is ending
A new one will begin
Closer to You
And I know I'm not alone
Cause I can hear You in the distance
Saying, you are nearly home

So let the rain start falling where it will
And I will run through this valley
Just to climb to that hill
And if they ask why I'm dancing
Though my days may be few
It's cause I'm just a day closer to You

Closer to me You're in the laughter and the tears
Of the ones I leave behind me
Who have prayed me through the years
Closer to You
And I know it won't be long
Till You're running down the pathway
Just to take me in Your arms

So let the rain start falling where it will
And I will run through this valley
Just to climb to that hill
And if they ask why I'm singing
Though my life's almost through
It's cause I'm just a day closer
I'm just a day closer
I'm just a day closer to You

It's cold tonight,
I heard her say.
She was staring out the window
As I came home late.
She tried to smile
but looked away
Oh I could see the tears were running
Down her face
She said...
You go to work,
You pay the bills.
I stay at home,
And I make the meals

But you don't even know who I am anymore.
You're a million miles away
Though I see you every day
And I've been waiting right here,
Oh for all these years
And sometimes I get so lonely,
I need to know you love me
But do you even know me anymore?

I turned around.
To see my son.
Oh, I remember his first birthday,
Now he's twenty-one.
I missed his life.
I missed it all,
Oh, to him I was a man
Just living down the hall.
He said... I learned to live,
Without you Dad
But i'd give it all
Just to have you back.

But you don't even know who I am anymore.
I used to wait at all my games
But still you never came
And I've been waiting right here,
Oh for all these years
From the time you said you'd owe me,
I've wanted you to show me
But you don't even know me anymore?

I've watched my days,
Turn into years
And now I'm wondering how I wound up here.
I dreamed my dreams
I made my plans
But all I've built here is an empty man.

And I don't even know who I am anymore.
Oh, God I'm praying through the tears,
Let me make up for these years
Oh, have I waited too long?
Can I start again,
To be the man you've wanted of me
I'm begging you to show me
But do you even know me anymore?

I was thinking of placing an ad
Inside a magazine so I could find You

I was picking up book after book
Taking a look
At trying to define You

I was lookin' for proof of Your life
Wondering why
I couldn't verify You

Then You came and You spoke to my heart
Now I see
Where You are'

chorus:
You're every
Time I turn around
In every sound
You're in the very air I breathe
You're up above
And now I know
You're in my soul
You're in the very depths of me
And every step I take
I take by faith
Oh and now I see

I believe
I believe
I believe
Yes, I believe
I believe
I believe
That You're everywhere

I was checking the best seller list
For something I missed
To spiritualize me

I was following step after step
Trying my best
To reinvent a new me
I was looking for truth in my life
I even tried
To psychoanalyze me

Now I'm seeing right from the start
You were there
In my heart

chorus

I believe in the power of the Holy Ghost
I believe in the One who has made me whole
I believe with my heart
I believe with my soul
I believe that You laid down Your life for me
I believe that You rose up and set me free
I believe what I know
Oh and I know I believe
You're everywhere

chorus

He Will Carry Me

Mark Schultz

I call, You hear me
I've lost it all
And it's more than I can bear
I fell so empty

You're strong
I'm weary
I'm holdin' on
But I feel like givin' in
But still You're with me

Chorus:
And even though I'm walkin' through
The valley of the shadow
I will hold tight to the hand of him
Whose love will comfort me
And when all hope is gone
And I've been wounded in the battle
He is sll the strength that I will
Ever need
And He will carry me

I know I'm broken
But You alone
CAn mend this heart of mine
You're always with me

(Chorus)

And even though I feel so lonely
Like I've never been before
You never said it would be easy
But You said you'd see me through
The storm

(Chorus)

I know there's a hole inside of me that's nine foot wide
I know cause I've tried to fill it up with foolish pride
And You go and You take my trophies off the ledges
Idols I had kept instead of wanting what was real
I that I've worn a thousand costumes in my life
I know so that no one else could see me deep inside
And You go and peel away from the perfect faces
Dust me off and then You say it's
Time to be yourself

~Chorus~
~And it's been a long time~
~Been a long time~
~Been a long time for me~
~You've opened my eyes~
~And I've realized~
~It's been a long time to see~
~Who I am.....~

I know there's a little boy in me trapped deep inside
I know he's so afraid to fail and so he hides
And You go and You open up a door within me
Take him by the hand and say we need to step outside
(Repeat Chorus)
And like a bird I want to fly away from here
Don't want to look inside this broken heart of mine
It's where You tell me there's so much I have
To give away
So much to give to You
So much I buried deep inside of me
Beyond a wall of memories
You brought me here to set me free
The more I look the more I see that it's

Oh Christ
Had the choice
Oh, to set us free
And He broke through the darkness
And came with a passion
Gave up the Heavens
To take up the fight
He poured out His heart
And He fought for our freedom
Hung on a cross
And then gave up his life

~Chorus~
~Just to know You... fought for me~
~Oh really know You...set me free~
~Just to know You...died for love~
~Oh really know You...God above~

Oh and I
Have a choice
And the choice for me
Is to live life like a man
Who will love with abandon
Follow the promise
And pay any price
I'll give all I can
Just to stand in Your glory
And long for the day
Oh to look in Your eyes
(Repeat Chorus)
I want to live
I want to love
I want to finsh strong
I want to run
Into Your arms
And say I gave it all
(Repeat Chorus)

I'm trading my sorrows,
I'm trading my shame,
I'm laying them down, for the joy of the Lord
I'm trading my sickness
I'm trading my pain
I'm laying them down for the joy of the Lord

Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord, yes yes Lord
Yes Lord, yes Lord , yes yes Lord Amen

I am pressed but not crushed,
persecuted not abandoned
Struck down but not destroyed
I am blessed beyond the curse for
His promise will endure
That His joy's gonna be my strength
Through the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning

Myself
I am driving
I am late for work
Spilling coffee down my whitest shirt
While I'm flossing and I'm changing lanes
Oh Yeah

Now I'm driving
Through the parking lot
Doing eighty, hey what the heck why not
Watch it lady, Cuz you’re in my spot
Once again, It's early to work
And here's a surprise, I got a
McMuffin for just 99 cents today
I think they ran a special

CHORUS:
I can't stand still Can I get a witness
Can you hear me Anybody, Anybody
I think I am running just to catch myself

Maybe someday I could fly away
Go to Key Largo or Montego Bay
Sport my Speedo, maybe grab a tan
DREAM VACATION, WILD ELATION
Now I'm running
Straight into my boss
And he's angry, Oh and he calls me Ross
Which is funny, cause that ain’t my name

And that’s lame
I'm still running
Running very late, For a meeting
Wait, that was yesterday
Guess I'm early for the one next week, Oh how sweet
I get on the ladder, I corporately climb
I wave at my life as it passes me by everyday
My name's not Ross!

CHORUS

Life in my cubicle is discreet, Life in my cubicle is neat
I've got some pictures of my friends
Some sharpened pencils...where's my pen
Ten O'clock I'm in a meeting
Paper cut I think I'm bleeding
Check my hair it's still receding, Hey what a life
Break for lunch, there's nothing better
Run outside and don my sweater
Like Fred Rogers let's be neighbors
I've lost my mind
I'm over worked, and underpaid, and non appreciated

It's just a perk of being of being middle class and educated
One... spinning circles in my chair
Two...win a game of solitaire
Three... And I ponder where my stapler's gone
Four O'clock and I stare at the door,
And I stare at my watch, Then I stare at the door
I stand by my desk like I'm going to war
There's just one thing I'll be needing
Grab my paycheck as I'm leaving
Oh oh oh oh oh oh ohhhhhhh
Five O'clock it's time to go
There's crowds to fight and time to blow
It's talking fast on my cell phone
Hey, watch out that’s reckless driving!
Five O'clock

It's time to hit the couch and watch TV
Set the clock and go to sleep
It's 8 a.m. on Monday morning
Again and again and again and again and again
Driving around, no where to go
And so I hang with my lady,
Oh, and chill with my bros
It's okay, in my Cabriolet

CHORUS

When I meet God, I will have a question
I just forgot the question
I think I am running just to catch myself
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

What will you do with the time that's left?
Will you live it all with no regret?
Will they say that you loved till your final breath?
What will you do with the time that's left?

(Chorus)
Oh hallelujah, oh hallelujah
Hallelujah, amen

And what will you with the time that's past?
Oh and all the pain that seems to last?
Can you give it to Jesus and not look back?
What will you do with the time that's past?

(Chorus)

And what will He say when your time has come?
And He takes you into His arms of love
With tears in His your eyes will He say "well done"?
What will you say when your time has come?

(Chorus)
(Verse1)

I've been hearing voices
Telling me that I could
Never be what I wanna be.
They're binding me with lies,
Haunting me at night,
And saying there's nothing to believe.
Somewhere in the quietness,
When I'm overcome with loneliness,
I hear You call my name.
And like a father You are near
And as I listen I can hear You say

Chorus
You are a child of Mine
Born of My own design
And you bear the heart of life.
No matter where you go,
Oh, you will always know
You have been made free in Christ.
You are a child of Mine

And so I listen as You tell me who I am
And who it is I'm gonna be.
And I hang on every word,
Knowing I have heard
I am Yours and I am free
But when I am alone at night
That is when I hear the lie
You'll never be enough
And though I'm giving into fear
If I listen I can hear You say

Chorus

I am calling'
I am calling'
I am calling'

Chorus

I see it in your eyes
the pain you keep inside
It's slowly tearing you apart
though you've run away
Reminded day by day
You've stumbled and you've fallen
Still He's callin'


:

I believe that he loves you where you are
I believe that you've seen the hands of God
I believe that you'll know it when
You're back in His arms again
I believe that He never let you go
I believe that He's wanting you to know
I believe that He'll lead you 'til
You're back in his arms again.

Glad I found you here
'Cause in between the tears
Something in your eyes shows hope
And I stand before you now
As one that knows about
Coming to Him open
And broken




And I know that He's calling
He's calling you Home




One Life, one love, one way, Home
And when you rise and when you fall
He will see you through it all
He is waiting you are called, back in His arms again

I'm down on my knees again tonight
I'm hoping this prayer will turn out right
See there is a boy that needs your help
I've done all that i can do myself
His mother is tired
I'm sure you can understand
Each night as he sleeps
She goes in to hold his hand
And she tries not to cry
As the tears fill up her eyes


~
Can you hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can you see him?
Can you make him feel all right?
If you can hear me
Let me take his place somehow
See he's not just anyone
He's my son

Sometimes late at night I watch him sleep
I dream of the boy he'd like to be
I try to be strong and see him through
But God who he needs right now is You
Let him grow old
Live life without this fear
What would I be
Living without him here
He's so tired and he's scared
Let him know that You're there




Can you hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can you see him?
Can you make him feel all right?
If you can hear me
Let me take his place somehow
See he's not just anyone
He's my son

Can you hear me?
Can you see him?
Please don't leave him
He's my son

You've got a secret no one knows
Locked away where no one goes
Deep inside your heart
It's tearing you apart

You hide the pain in all you do
Still the shackles binding you
Are heavier than stone
But you are not alone

Pre-

When you're down
Look around
And you'll see...I am with you
Look to Me
And you'll see
I will be...there to guide you
Take My hand
And I can
Lead you on...for you know



I am the answer
I am the way
I am the promise
I have called your name

So you want a brand new start
Asking Me into your heart
Down on bended knee
For the world to see

And the chains around your heart
Fall away and break apart
Suddenly you see
The truth has set you free


Pre-






Surrounded by darkness you stumbled along
Knowing the road that you traveled was long
But I'm here beside you...yes, here all along
The One that will carry you on


Pre-






Oh when you are down
You think no one's around
But I'll be with you both day and night

I know the good times
I'll see you through bad times
Oh you know that I'm here to stay





When you're down
Look around
And you'll see I am with you

In a room without a view, a new mother smiles and holds
the tiny fingers of her brand new baby girl.
Her husband takes her by the hand, so unsure about the future
have no money can they make it in this world?
And they pray, Lord all we have to give is love
then they heard a gentle voice like an echo from above,

I have been there. I know what fear is all about.
Yes, I have been there and I'm standing with you now.
I have been there
And I came to build the
oh so this road could lead you home.
Oh I have been there.

He's been a pastor twenty years
but tonight he sits alone and broken hearted in the corner of the church
He tried to change a fallen world
with his words and with his wisdom but it seems like it is only getting worse
And he cries, Oh Lord I just don't understand
Then he felt the hand of grace, and he heard a voice that said

I have been there, I know what pain is all about
yes I have been there, and I'm standing with you now
I have been there, and I came to build a

oh so this road could lead you home
oh i have been there.

An older man up on a hill
holding flowers but he can't hold back the tears.
oh he has come to say goodbye.
he thinks about the life she lived,
thinks about how hard it's been to live without her
sixty years right by his side
and he cries, oh Lord i loved her till the end
and he heard a gentle voice say you'll see her once again

I have been there
I know what sorrow's all about
yes i have been there and i'm standing with you now
i have been there, and i came to build a

oh so this road could lead her home, the road could lead her home
oh i have been there, You know I overcame the cross, yes i have b

I'm trading my sorrows,

Struck down but not destroyed

Through the sorrow may last for the night
His joy comes with the morning

Remember Me
In a Bible cracked and faded by the years.
Remember Me
In a sanctuary filled with silent prayer

And age to age
And heart to heart,
Bound by grace and peace.
Child of wonder,
Child of God,
I've remembered you,
Remember Me.

Remember Me
When the color of the sunset fills the sky
Remember Me
When you pray and tears of joy fall from your eyes.

And age to age
And heart to heart,
Bound by grace and peace.
Child of wonder
Child of God,
I've remembered you,
Remember Me

Remember Me
When the children leave their Sunday school with smiles
Remember Me
When they're old enough to teach,
Old enough to preach
Old enough to leave.

And age to age
And heart to heart
Bound by grace and peace
Child of wonder,
Child of God,
I've remembered you,
Remember Me.

Age to age
And heart to heart
Child of wonder
Child of God

(Verse1)

First day of recess, they all laughed at me
when I fell off the swing set and scraped up my knee.
The nurse called my momma to say I'd be late,
when she gave me the phone I could hear momma say,

King of Kings
Lord of Lords
Prince of Peace
I am

Early morning, summer's day
At a park, in the city
Kids were playing on a swing
They were black and white
Then a lady walked that way
As she did most every morning
Grocery bags in her hand
She was passing by

She stopped
Stared
Watched their laughter fill the air
She laughed
cried
Because the love of God was color blind...



When you give
When you love
When you serve
You do it unto me

On a cross, up on a hill
Where the world would be forgiven
Was a man,called to make the greatest sacrafice
He lived a life of love,gave away all He'd been given
Sent from the one above,and He gave His life
To love,serve
He came down from Heaven to spread the word
To teach,pray
And this is what He had to say




Give away all you've been given
This is what you're looking for deep inside
Jesus Christ

Take me to the river
Wash in the water
Take me to the river
Dunk me in the water




King of Kings
Lord of Lords
Prince of Peace
I Am

I've been hearing voices
Telling me that I could

He Will Carry Me Mark Schultz I call, You hear me I've lost it all And it's more than I can bear I fell so empty You're strong I'm weary I'm holdin' on But I feel like givin' in But still You're with me Chorus: And even though I'm walkin' through The valley of the shadow I will hold tight to the hand of him Whose love will comfort me And when all hope is gone And I've been wounded in the battle He is sll the strength that I will Ever need And He will carry me I know I'm broken But You alone CAn mend this heart of mine You're always with me (Chorus) And even though I feel so lonely Like I've never been before You never said it would be easy But You said you'd see me through The storm (Chorus)

We bow our hearts, we bend our knees O Spirit come make us humble We turn our eyes from evil things O Lord we cast down our idols CHORUS: Give us clean hands, give us pure hearts Let us not lift our souls to another Give us clean hands, give us pure hearts Let us not lift our souls to another O God let us be a generation that seeks that seeks your face O God of Jacob O God let us be a generation that seeks that seeks your face O God of Jacob

I would walk 1,000 miles
1,000 miles it’s true
I would walk 1,000 miles
Just to be with You

(Chorus)
‘Cause you’ve got my heart and you’ve got my soul
You’ve got this promise too
I would walk 1,000 miles
Just to be with You

If I could write 10,000 songs
10,000 songs it’s true
If I Could write 10,000 songs
I’d Sing them all for you

(Chorus)
‘Cause you’ve got my heart and you’ve got my soul
You’ve got this promise too
If I could write 10,000 songs
I’d Sing them all for you

If I could live 100 years
Before my life is through
If I could live 100 years
I’d spend them loving You

(Chorus)
Cause You’ve got my heart and you’ve got my soul
You’ve got this promise too
If I could live 100 years
I’d spend them loving You

Lord, I came to the mountaintop
To be with You
I felt Your grace falling down like rain
And I was made new

But there are times like now when I'm all dried out

(Chorus)
And it's like 40 days out in the desert
Feeling like I'm lost forever
And crying out for You
But in these 40 days I'm going to seek You
With my heart because I believe You
Have brought me to this place
These 40 days



Lord, Your ways are not my own
But I trust You
Lord, You say, "You are not alone,
For I am with you"

But there are times like now when You can't be found

(Chorus)

'Cause You are with me
You never leave me
Even when my world turns upside down
'Cause there are times like now when I will
Trust somehow

(Chorus)

I must have felt your tears
When they took me from your arms
I'm sure I must have heard you say goodbye
Lonely and afraid had you made a big mistake
Could an ocean even hold the tears you cried

But you had dreams for me
You wanted the best for me
And you made the only choice you could that night

(Chorus)
You gave life to me
A brand new world to see
Like playing baseball in the yard with dad at night
Mom reading Goodnight Moon
And praying in my room
So if you worry if your choice was right
You gave me up but you gave everything to me

And if I saw you on the street
Would you know that it was me
And would your eyes be blue or green like mine
Would we share a warm embrace
Would you know me in your heart
Or would you smile and let me walk on by
Knowing you had dreams for me
You wanted the best for me
And I hope that you'd be proud of who I am

(Chorus)
You gave life to me
A chance to find my dreams
And a chance to fall in love
You should have seen her shining face
On our wedding day
Oh is this the dream you had in mind
When you gave me up
You gave everything to me

And when I see you there
Watching from heaven's gates
Into your arms
I'm gonna run
And when you look in my eyes
You can see my whole life
See who I was
And who I've become

(Chorus)

God of Life, Lord of all
Hear my prayer
Hear my call
Take this life
Take it all
Let it burn
Let it show

Let this life down here on earth
Echo in return

(Chorus)
I believe in You
I believe in You
God of life
I believe in You
God of life,
Lord of truth
Let me live
To worship You
So all may hear
And all may know
That You are God
The God of hope

Let this life down here on earth
Echo in return

(Chorus)

(Repeat Chorus)

With my heart and with my soul
I will worship You alone
God of Life, Lord of all
Hear my prayer, hear my call

(Chorus)

Let this life show
Let it echo
I believe in You
