Sandi Patty

I've always heard there is a land
Beyond the mortal dreams of man
Where every tear will be left behind
But it must be in another time
Oh, oh, oh
There'll be an everlasting light
Shining a purest holy white
And every fear will be erased
But it must be in another place
Oh, oh, oh

So I'm wating for another time
and another place
Where all my hopes and dreams
will be captured
With one look and JESUS' face
Oh. my heart's been burnin'
My soul keeps yearnin'
Sometimes I can't hardly wait
For that sweet, sweet someday
When I'll be swept away
To another time and another place

I've grown so tired of earthly things
They promise peace but furnish pain
All of life's sweetest joys combined
Could never match those in another time
Oh, oh, oh
And though I've put my trust in christ
And felt His Spirit move in my life
I know it's truly just a taste
Of His glory in another place
Oh, oh, oh

So I'm wating for another time
and another place
Where all my hopes and dreams
will be captured
With one look and JESUS' face
Oh. my heart's been burnin'
My soul keeps yearnin'
Sometimes I can't hardly wait
For that sweet, sweet someday
When I'll be swept away
To another time and another place

So I'm wating for another time
and another place
Where all my hopes and dreams
will be captured
With one look and JESUS' face
Oh. my heart's been burnin'
My soul keeps yearnin'
Sometimes I can't hardly wait
For that sweet, sweet someday
When I'll be swept away
To another time and another place

Build my world around hope
Build my world where there's mercy and grace
Build my world around love
Build my world around all that is true
Build my world around You

Built upon the rock it will stay

You're not just a part, You're the whole
Nothing else matters if we've not right
You truly are my heart and my soul
You alone are my salvation, You're the best of my life
Lord, You know my world revolves around You

Repeat Chorus

And I believe You'll prepare for me
A resting place when we're through
And I believe You will carry me
For the rest of forever, until we're together
I will build my world around You

Build my world where there's mercy and grace

Repeat Chorus

Hark, how the bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say, throw cares away
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer
To young and old, meek and the bold

Ding-dong ding-dong, that is our song
With cheerful ring, all caroling
One seems to hear words of good cheer
From everywhere, filling the air

Oh, how they pound, raising the sound
O'er hill and dale, telling their tale
Gayly they ring while people sing
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here

Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
(Merry Christmas)

Hark, how the bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say, throw cares away
(The bells seem to say, throw cares away)

Christmas is here, bringing good cheer
To young and old, meek and the bold
(Meek and the bold)
(To young and old)

One seems to hear words of good cheer
From everywhere filling the air

Oh, how they pound, raising the sound
(Oh, how they pound)
O'er hill and dale, telling their tale
Gayly they ring while people sing
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here

Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas

On, on they send, on without end
Their joyful tone to every home
(On without end, their joyful tone to every home)

Gayly they ring while people sing
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here

Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas
(Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas)

Merry, Merry, Merry, Christmas

Hark, how the bells, sweet silver bells
All seem to say, throw cares away
Christmas is here, bringing good cheer
To young and old, meek and the bold

One seems to hear words of good cheer
From everywhere, filling the air

Oh, how they pound, raising the sound
O'er hill and dale, telling their tale
Gayly they ring while people sing
Songs of good cheer, Christmas is here

(Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas)
Merry, Merry, Merry, Merry Christmas

On, on they send, on without end
Their joyful tone to every home

(On, on they send, on without end)
(Their joyful tone to every home)
(Hear the bells, aah)

Hark, have a bell, sweet silver bells
Joyfully ring, boy is the king

Till the bells ring, Christ the saviour is born
Alleluia

He walks upon the wind, He rides above the storm
Lightning flashes from His throne
The eyes of mortal man cannot behold His form
All authority is His alone

Holy and awesome is He
Great is His majesty

Exalt the name of the Lord
He deserves worship from our heart
Exalt the name of the Lord
And offer up a sacrifice of praise
Declare and exalt the name

He rules the universe, yet hears the humble cry
Bringing comfort to a broken heart
The power of His word can split the earth and sky
Yet mend the lives that sin has torn apart

The love of the Lord never ends
Sing His praise once again

Exalt the name of the Lord
He deserves worship from our heart
Exalt the name of the Lord
And offer up a sacrifice of praise
Declare and exalt the name

Exalt the name of the Lord
He deserves worship from our heart
Exalt the name of the Lord
And offer up a sacrifice of praise
Declare and exalt the name
Exalt the name, exalt the name

Verse 1:
All around us things are changing
Seasons come and seasons go
Very few things last forever but
Deep inside our hearts we know

Chorus:
Were forever friends
Bond by love that time can't take away
Forever friends caring in a special kind of way
Heart to heart and hand in hand
We'll stand until the end
Loves forever when your forever friends

Verse 2:
We're all children of the father
In his keeping and his care
And the spirit that he gives us
Is the love we're meant to share

Chorus

Bridge:
And though we know it's time to say goodbye
We will always be together
And here's the reason why.

Chorus

O, Lord, our Lord
How majestic is Your Name in all the earth
O, Lord, our Lord
How majestic is Your Name in all the earth

O, Lord, we praise Your Name
O Lord, we magnify Your Name
Prince of peace, mighty God
O, Lord God Almighty

He is the captain of a heavenly army
(praise Him, oh praise Him)
My defender no foe can harm me
(praise Him, oh praise Him)
Sheltering me in a mighty fortress
(praise Him, oh praise Him)
Holy is He, merciful and righteous
(praise Him, oh praise Him)
Make a joyful noise

I will rejoice
Til the mountains and the valleys ring
I will rejoice
Til the depths of my soul can sing
God reigns
Let the earth proclaim
Lift high His name
Til the heavens shout back the same
I will rejoice

Sing a song when the battle's raging
(praise Him, oh praise Him)
The Lord will strengthen all those
who praise Him
(praise Him, oh praise Him)
He is the rock of my salvation
(praise Him, oh praise Him)
Every voice in every nation
(praise Him, oh praise Him)
Make a joyful noise

I will rejoice
Til the mountains and the valleys ring
I will rejoice
Til the depths of my soul can sing
God reigns
Let the earth proclaim
Lift high His name
Til the heavens shout back the same
I will rejoice

Praise Him oh praise Him
(I will rejoice)
Praise Him, oh praise Him
(I will rejoice)
Til the mountains and the valleys ring
Make a joyful noise
(I will rejoice
til the depths of my soul can sing)
God reigns
Let the earth proclaim
Lift high His holy name
I will, I will,
I will rejoice
I will lift my voice and rejoice!

I see what people do
I hear what people say
I know there's trouble everywhere
I see it everyday

Some things won't get better
Some people won't get through
But I can dream of a better world
If I want to

If I want to imagine
Peace on every hand, I close my eyes
And dream my dreams
In dreams I make a stand

Any time I start missin'
Human harmony, I listen hard
Until I hear the music inside me

I can sing of a better world
If I want to
I can dream of a better world
If I want to, if I want to

You walk down any street
You don't know what you'll find
Sometimes it takes me all I have
To face a world unkind

And I won't give up tryin'
I won't just let it go
I still believe
You can plant a dream, if you want to

If I want to imagine
Peace on every hand, I close my eyes
And dream my dreams
In dreams I make a stand

And any time I start missin'
Human harmony, I listen hard
Until I hear the music inside me

I can sing of a better world
If I want to
I can dream of a better world
If I want to

I listen hard
Until I hear the music inside me

I can sing of a better world
If I want to
And I can dream of a better world
If I want to

I listen hard
Until I hear the music inside me

I can sing of a better world
If I want to
I can dream of a better world
If I want to and I want to

I see what people do
I hear what people say
I know there's trouble everywhere
I see it everyday

Some things won't get better
Some people won't get through
But I can dream of a better world
If I want to

If I want to imagine
Peace on every hand, I close my eyes
And dream my dreams
In dreams I make a stand

Any time I start missin'
Human harmony, I listen hard
Until I hear the music inside me

I can sing of a better world
If I want to
I can dream of a better world
If I want to, if I want to

You walk down any street
You don't know what you'll find
Sometimes it takes me all I have
To face a world unkind

And I won't give up tryin'
I won't just let it go
I still believe
You can plant a dream, if you want to

If I want to imagine
Peace on every hand, I close my eyes
And dream my dreams
In dreams I make a stand

And any time I start missin'
Human harmony, I listen hard
Until I hear the music inside me

I can sing of a better world
If I want to
I can dream of a better world
If I want to

I listen hard
Until I hear the music inside me

I can sing of a better world
If I want to
And I can dream of a better world
If I want to

I listen hard
Until I hear the music inside me

I can sing of a better world
If I want to
I can dream of a better world
If I want to and I want to

Imagine how God can sing,
How His voice delights the universe
With a range that blends eternally
Into chords of His love.

Imagine how God can dance,
Moving gracefully up to our hearts
To invite us to be intimate
And share in His joy.

Then imagine how God must feel
If we move back away from Him
To design our own destinies,
Shaping lives of desiring and fear.

Then imagine God's happiness
When a wanderer cries out to Him
For the peace that only He can give;
For the strength he grants to truly live;
And when the choice is made to look to Him
And finally draw near.
