11-6-64 The sun shone a whole lot brighter
Than ever it had before- smiling down on me At 1:09 PM both hands of time stopped turning And you came waltzing in to change my world for good And I was only 2 years old So really, I don't know Exactly what was going on But I, I bet I laughed and played Harder on that day 'Cause my whole world was changin' on 11-6-64 You breathed your first breath And suddenly living life meant so much more On the day that you were born And I, well I was only 2 So I didn't have a clue Of all that was transpiring But I, I bet the sky was blue And all the world looked new 'Cause everything was changing on 11-6-64 You breathed your first breath And suddenly living life meant so much more On the day that you were born 11-6-64 Suddenly living life meant so much more On the day that you were born. |

Was God smiling
When he spoke the words That made the world And did he cry about the flood What does God’s voice sound like When he sings, when he’s angry These are just a few things That the angels have on me Well I can’t fly At least not yet I’ve got no halo on my head And I can’t even start to picture heaven’s beauty But I’ve been shown the Savior’s love The grace of God has raised me up To show me things the angels long To look into And I know things Angels only wish they knew I have seen the dark and desperate place Where sin will take you I’ve felt loneliness and shame And I have watched the blinding light of grace Come breaking through with a sweetness Only tasted by the forgiven and redeemed Still I can’t fly At least not yet I’ve got no halo on my head And I can’t even start to picture heaven’s beauty But I’ve been shown the Savior’s love The grace of God has raised me up To show me things the angels long to look into And I know things The angels only wish they knew And someday I’ll sit down with my angel friends Up in heaven They’ll tell me about creation And I’ll tell them a story about grace Well I can’t fly At least not yet I’ve got no halo on my head And I can’t even start to picture heaven’s beauty But I’ve been shown the Savior’s love The grace of God has raised me up To show me things the angels long To look into And I know things Angels only wish they knew |

It was the day the world went wrong I screamed til my voice was gone And watched through the tears as everything Came crashing down Slowy panic turns to pain As we awake to what remains And sift through the ashes That are left behind But buried deep beneath All our broken dreams we have this hope Out of these ashes beauty will rise And we will dance among the ruins We will see it with our own eyes Out of these ashes beauty will rise For we know joy is coming in the morning In the morning, beauty will rise So take another breath for now And let the tears come washing down And if you can't believe, I will believe for you Cause I have seen the signs of spring Just watch and see Out of these ashes beauty will rise And we will dance among the ruins We will see it with our own eyes Out of these ashes beauty will rise For we know joy is coming in the morning In the morning I can hear it in the distance And it's not too far away It's the music and the laughter Of a wedding and a feast I can almost feel the hand of God Reaching for my face to wipe the tears away You say it's time to make everything new Make it all new This is our hope This is a promise This is our hope This is a promise It will take our breath away To see the beauty that's been made Out of the ashes, out of the ashes It will take our breath away To see the beauty that He's made Out of the ashes, out of the ashes Out of these ashes Beauty will rise And we will dance among the ruins We will see it with our own eyes Out of this darkness New light will shine And we'll know the joy that's coming in the morning In the morning Beauty will rise Oh, beauty will rise Oh, oh, oh, beauty will rise Oh, oh, oh, beauty will rise Oh, oh, oh, beauty will rise |

Verse 1:
I hear the rumors of another world Like distant voices in the wind They say there is a story being told Bigger than I can comprehend And in the rumors I can hear an invitation calling Chorus: This is the, the big story There is a God who's in control Telling the, the big story And He wants us to know We will find ourselves when we loose ourselves In the bigger story Come and take your place in the story Verse 2: We all live in this place called the here and now We see what's right before our eyes But right here right now heaven's coming down All around God's story is coming alive And in this moment if we listen We can hear Him calling Chorus again Captivating, fascinating, all consuming Never concluding, One and only Ever unfolding, Story of stories The big, big story |

There's a teacher in a school room
Somewhere on the edge of town Telling innocent little children what we used to be They look and listen without a question They see the pictures passed around Making facts out of a theory and they all believe As the lost lead the way Another heart is led astray CHORUS These are the days when the blind lead the blind And there's one narrow way out of here So pray that the light of the world will keep your eyes clear 'Cause it's a dangerous place here where the blind lead the blind There's a preacher in a nice church Anchored in the heart of town People flock to hear his eloquent delivery He talks of Jesus how he can please us But the cross cannot be found Makin' theory out of facts until they're all deceived And the lost lead the way And more hearts are led astray CHORUS This is a dangerous time And the truth is hard to find So let His word light your way And guard every step you take CHORUS |

In the spring of 1519
A Spanish fleet set sail. Cortez told his sailors, "This mission must not fail." On the eastern shore of Mexico, they landed with great dreams, but the hardships of the new life made them restless and weak. Quietly they whisper "Let's sail back to the life we knew" but the one who led them there was saying, "Burn the ships! In the spring of new beginnings a searching heart set sail looking for a new life and a love that would not fail. on the shores of grace and mercy it landed with great joy. but the enemy was waiting to steal kill and destroy Quietly he whispered "sail back to the life you know" But the one who led us here was saying Burn the ships! We're here to stay. There's no way we could go back now that we've come this far by faith Burn the ships. We've passed the point of no return. Our life is here so let the ships burn. Let 'em burn!" |

Throw back our heads and run with the passion Through the fields of forgiveness and grace We carry the eternal flame With an undying hope and a blazing conviction Of a truth that will never We are glowing in the dark Children of the burning heart So come on let's . . .

On the humble side of town There stands a little Christmas tree Looks a lot like Charlie Brown's And underneath there's one little gift for him And one little gift for her After six months on the new job They're still barely getting by So in the way of decorations There's nothing there to catch your eye But both of them Would be the first to say We're together We're gonna have the merriest Christmas Anyway 'Cause Christmas is all in the heart That's where the feeling starts And like a fire inside It touches every heart And even if no white snow falls That's all right because The joy can still be found Wherever you are 'Cause Christmas is all It's all in the heart Two little blonde haired boys with big dreams Tried to sleep but sleep wouldn't come We'd be tearing into presents Long before the break of dawn With Mom and Dad and cameras making sure We'd never forget that day Now I'm the one who's taking pictures In the middle of the night Of my own blonde headed dreamers That just can't wait until daylight And in my sleepy eyes The spark still glows Well I guess there's just some things A kid never outgrows 'Cause Christmas is all in the heart That's where the feeling starts And like a fire inside It touches every part Christmas is all in the heart And even if no white snow falls That's okay because The joy can still be found Wherever you are 'Cause Christmas is all It's all in the heart No, it's not in the snow That may or may not fall And it's not in the gifts Around the tree It's in the love heaven gave The night our Savior came And that same love Can still be found where ever you are 'Cause Christmas is all in the heart It's all in the heart |

A day is coming when all will be fed
There won't be a single hungry mouth begging for bread A day is coming when every disease Will be swept away as mercy floods through every street A day is coming A day is coming A day is coming But until that day comes Let Your kingdom come in me Let Your will be done in me Here on earth as it is and as it will be in Heaven Show Your glory to the world Tell Your story to the world Let my life be a preview of coming attractions Yeah, coming Attractions A day is coming that won't fade to night There'll be no more hatred to endure, no wars to fight There'll be no orphans, no prisoners or slaves And all the tears of death and pain will be washed away This day is coming It's surely coming Jesus, you're coming But until that day comes Let Your kingdom come in me Let Your will be done in me Here on earth as it is and as it will be in heaven Show Your glory to the world Tell Your story to the world Let my life be a preview of coming attractions Shine Your light through me Live Your life through me Let the world see Your kingdom come in me |

Sometimes you wanna laugh,
sometimes you wanna cry You’re just not good enough no matter how you try So you go on but you know something’s wrong You meant it when you asked Him in down on your knees Somehow you lost the thrill and thrills are what you need To let you know where you’re gonna go (You struggle on) trying to earn what He’s given you (You struggle on) He died to give it what more can you do So consider it, consider it done That prize you’re fighting for is already won So consider it, consider it done You’ll find his work’s just begun When you consider it done God helps the ones who help themselves, some people say But are we helping out or getting in His way He wants our best and He’ll do the rest It’s by His grace we’re saved Not by the things we do So we’ve got to serve Him with a thankful attitude And let Him know where He leads we’ll go (From this day on) our hope’s in Jesus and His work’s complete (From this day on) He makes his experience our history So consider it, consider it done That prize you’re fighting for is already won So consider it, consider it done You’ll find his work’s just begun When you consider it done So consider it, consider it done That prize you’re fighting for is already won So consider it, consider it done You’ll find his work’s just begun When you consider it done So consider it, consider it done That prize you’re fighting for is already won So consider it, consider it done You’ll find his work’s just begun When you consider it done |

Once upon a time not so long ago in a land not so far away
Right and wrong were not quite so hard to know And black and white were not so gray Times have changed and now it seems Conscience has gone the way of the dinosaur But I believe it's still alive and well today In the hearts of those who will stand up and say CHORUS I'm dancing with the dinosaur Living my life with conscience and conviction I don't want to see the truth ignored So I've gotta keep on dancing I've gotta keep on dancing with the dinosaur There's a banner waving saying tolerance will set you free, it's the latest thing While the consequences it leaves behind are like a ball and chain But there's a voice in everyone called conscience That's been around since God created man And as we learn to listen to its whispering We'll find the greater freedom when we stand up and sing (Chorus) BRIDGE Right is right and wrong is wrong just like it has been along We cannot sit by and see conscience become history So come on, get up and dance Dance this dance with me (Gonna keep on dancing, gonna keep on dancing with the dinosaur Gonna keep on dancing, gonna keep on dancing with the dinosaur) (Chorus) (Outro) (Gonna keep on dancing, gonna keep on dancing with the dinosaur Gonna keep on dancing, gonna keep on dancing with the dinosaur) |

Now just the other day I overheard a flower talking to the sky
He said you know that I would be nothing without You, oh, oh He said you give me rain, you give the sun a place to shine You're everything that my whole existence comes down to, oh, oh And then the flower started singing a song Before I knew it I was singing along And we sang… This is my declaration of dependence This is my declaration of my need This is my declaration of dependence On the one who gave His life to me Now, let me say that I'm the kind of guy who wants to do it all myself Don't want to ask for help, don't like to stop for directions, oh, oh But in reality I'm nothing on my own It's by God's grace alone that I can make this confession All that I am and all I'm hoping to be Is all and only what He's given to me So I say… And I know this is how my life was meant to be I was made for this dependency On the one who has created me So I'll sing my declaration song For the one I am depending on And I hope you'll sing along |

The long awaited rains
Have fallen hard upon the thirsty ground Have carved their way to where The wild and rushing river can be found And like the rains I have been carried here to where the river flows, yeah My heart is racing and my knees are weak As I walk to the edge I know there is no turning back Once my feet have left the ledge And in the rush I hear a voice That's telling me it's time to take a leap of faith So here I go! I'm diving in I'm going deep In over my head I want to be Caught in the rush Lost in the flow In over my head I want to go The river’s deep The river’s wide The river’s water is alive So sink or swim I'm diving in There is a supernatural power In this mighty river’s flow It can bring the dead to life And it can fill an empty soul And give a heart the only thing Worth living and worth dying for But we will never know the awesome power Of the grace of God Until we let ourselves get swept away Into this holy flood So if you'll take my hand We'll close our eyes and count to three And take the leap of faith Come on let's go! I'm diving in I'm going deep In over my head I want to be Caught in the rush Lost in the flow In over my head I want to go The river’s deep The river’s wide The river’s water is alive So sink or swim I'm diving in |

I’m one of the chosen few
God chose to carry to A hopeless and dying world Good News I’m a disciple of A caring Father’s love A light to the world To show them the way Do they know Can they see Jesus lives in me Do they know Can they see Jesus lives in me A vacant house comes alive When somebody moves inside A light in the window means somebody’s home I say Jesus lives in me But can everybody see The light of His love that shines in my heart Do they know Can they see Jesus lives in me Do they know Can they see Jesus lives in me A cloud of witnesses surrounds us Who long to share what we’ve received Tell me where will they see Jesus If not in you and me So we must let them know Let them see Jesus lives in you and me Let them know let them see He is all they need Jesus is all we need |

I can still hear the prayers you prayed for me all those years
And I see now more than ever what a difference they have made And I can still hear your words Spoken from a heart of great concern Saying keep your eyes on Jesus and love him more than anything I've watched the wind blow hard against you And I have seen your faith get weakened by the pain And I want you to know that I will be prayin' for you To hold on Don't let the fire die The flame has been dimmed by the tears that you cry But I can still see the spark of His love in your eye So don't let the fire, please don't let the fire die This heavy weight you carry around Of letting yourself and everybody down Is pouring water on the passion that use to burn so bright Well I know you've got your reasons for resentment And I know it's more than I can understand So just let me say that I am going to be praying for you To let it all go Don't let the fire die The flame has been dimmed by the tears that you cry But I can still see the spark of His love in your eye And I'm not praying for the fire to burn the way it did before Because I believe the one that started this flame in your heart He wants to give you more So Don't let the fire die Don't let the fire die Don't let the fire die The flame has been dimmed by the tears that you cry But I can still see the spark of His love in your eye So don't let the fire, please don't let the fire die Because I can still see the spark of His love in your eye |

Well I don't wanna' take up anybody's time
I'm just givin' my opinion with a rhythm and a clever rhyme I don't want these words to sound Like I think I've got it all figured out But there are a few things I can say I know without a doubt Chorus: I know there's a God who knows my name And a Son who died to take the blame I believe that Jesus is coming back 'cause promises are promises and facts are facts These days some say there's no one way to believe Just keep it loose, you're free to choose There's no absolute it's all relative you see Calling all defenders of the truth Live a life that spells out God's worldview Let these words be heard in everything you say and do Chorus: I know there's a God who knows my name And a Son who died to take the blame I believe that Jesus is coming back 'cause promises are promises and facts are facts BRIDGE: As sure as there's a law of gravity That says what goes up must come down This is the ultimate reality That God is, and God loves, and God can be found Well I know there's a God who knows my name Promises are promises and facts are facts And a Son who died to take the blame Promises are promises and facts are facts And I believe that Jesus is coming back 'Cause promises are promises and facts are facts (Chorus) Promises are promises and facts are facts (x3) |

It’s a brand new day
and the sun is shining bright Looks like it’s gonna be the very best day of my life So I jump out of bed into a world of opportunities I gotta get movin’, no time to get down on my knees Then the telephone rings It’s the voice of tragedy Now I suddenly find The time to get down on my knees I say, “I love You” I always look to You when trouble calls my name But if I’m gonna say, “I love You” I’ve gotta be faithful too The true test of my love will be Did I follow You consistently Through the good and bad I want to be faithful too Talk is cheap Some words come a dozen for a dime But a real life conversation Will take some precious time And if I give my all Lord that’s the least that I can do Compared to all the faithfulness I have found in You So if tragedy calls Or if everything goes my way I want to be found Faithful to You every day I say, “I love You” I always look to You when trouble calls my name But if I’m gonna say, “I love You” I’ve gotta be faithful too The true test of my love will be Did I follow You consistently Through the good and bad I want to be faithful too I say, “I love You” I always look to you Everyday I say, “I love You” I always look to You when trouble calls my name But if I’m gonna say, “I love You” I’ve gotta be faithful too The true test of my love will be Did I follow You consistently Through the good and bad I want to be faithful too |

I can see the fingerprints of God When I look at you I can see the fingerprints of God And I know it's true You're a masterpiece That all creation quietly applauds And you're covered with the fingerprints of God Never has there been and never again Will there be another you Fashioned by God's hand And perfectly planned To be just who you are And what He's been creating Since the first beat of your heart Is a living breathing priceless work of art... I can see the fingerprints of God When I look at you I can see the fingerprints of God And I know it's true You're a masterpiece That all creation quietly applauds And you're covered with the fingerprints of God Just look at you You're a wonder in the making Oh, and God's not through, no In fact, He's just getting started... I can see the fingerprints of God When I look at you I can see the fingerprints of God And I know it's true You're a masterpiece That all creation quietly applauds And you're covered with the fingerprints of God |

Hoping that the preacher’s preaching’s almost through Not sure you need to hear this Seems like you’ve heard it all before A hundred times or more All this information second hand Is there something more that you don’t understand It’s a way of life you’re missing Where the word becomes a part of you Walking everyday with Jesus Find out His promises are true Living life first hand Learning the truth Straight from the Father Living life first hand There’s no middle man When you walk with the Lord First hand It’s all in your mind the world will say But this is something That they can’t explain away Not just some fancy talking Or just some emotion that you feel It’s a life of first hand walking Finding out His promises are real Living life first hand Learning the truth Straight from the Father Living life first hand There’s no middle man When you walk with the Lord First hand |

So they knew from the start This road would not lead to fame All they really knew for sure was Jesus had called to them He said "Come follow me" and they came With reckless abandon they came Empty nets lying there at the waters edge Told a story that few could believe and none could explain How some crazy fishermen agreed to go where Jesus lead With no thought for what they would gain For Jesus had called them by name and they answered CHORUS We will abandon it all for the sake of the call No other reason at all but the sake of the call Wholly devoted to live and to die For the sake of the call Drawn like the rivers are drawn to the sea No turning back for the water cannot help but flow Once we hear the Savior's call we'll follow wherever he leads Because of the love He has shown And because he has called us to go we will answer We will abandon it all for the sake of the call No other reason at all but the sake of the call Wholly devoted to live and to die BRIDGE Not for the sake of a creed or a cause Not for a dream or a promise Simply because it is Jesus who calls And if we believe we'll obey CHORUS |

So they knew from the start This road would not lead to fame All they really knew for sure was Jesus had called to them He said "Come follow me" and they came With reckless abandon they came Empty nets lying there at the waters edge Told a story that few could believe and none could explain How some crazy fishermen agreed to go where Jesus lead With no thought for what they would gain For Jesus had called them by name and they answered CHORUS We will abandon it all for the sake of the call No other reason at all but the sake of the call Wholly devoted to live and to die For the sake of the call Drawn like the rivers are drawn to the sea No turning back for the water cannot help but flow Once we hear the Savior's call we'll follow wherever he leads Because of the love He has shown And because he has called us to go we will answer We will abandon it all for the sake of the call No other reason at all but the sake of the call Wholly devoted to live and to die BRIDGE Not for the sake of a creed or a cause Not for a dream or a promise Simply because it is Jesus who calls And if we believe we'll obey CHORUS |

Too many hypocrites, I heard her say
I even saw it in the headlines today How can I follow God when His own people turn away She said, nobody’s perfect but I just want to see Somebody living what they say the believe If they’ve got all this world needs like they say I wonder why won’t they give some away Can she see God for who He really is In what she sees in you and me Can she see God for who He really For who He really is is all she really needs to see He slips into church and he puts up his guard They look so happy but his life’s been so hard He keeps his distance so they won’t see the scars It’s just religion that’s all dressed up in white And God is love as long as you’re living right But does he know that Jesus also has scars And His love can reach him no matter how far Can he see God for who He really is In what he sees in you and me Can he see God for who He really For who He really is, is all he really needs to see The skeptics are watching to see who will fall While those disillusioned search for the truth in it all Maybe today we’ll cross their paths unaware And they’ll stop and look at us. What will be there? Can they see God for who He really is In what they see in you and me Can they see God for who He really For who He really is, is all they really need to see |

from Steven Curtis Chapman - Signs Of Life (1996)
The sun was beating down inside the walls of stone and razor wire
As we made our way across the prison yard I felt my heart begin to race as we drew nearer to the place Where they say that death is waiting in the dark The slamming doors of iron echoed through the halls Where despair holds life within its cruel claws But then I met a man who's face seemed so strangely out of place A blinding light of hope was shining in his eyes And with repentance in his voice he told me of his tragic choice That led him to this place where he must pay the price But then his voice grew strong as he began to tell About the One he said had rescued him from hell, he said . . . I'm free, yeah, oh, I have been forgiven God's love has taken off my chains and given me these wings And I'm free, yeah, yeah, and the freedom I've been given Is something that not even death can take away from me Because I'm free Jesus set me free We said a prayer and said goodbye and tears began to fill my eyes As I stepped back out into the blinding sun And even as I drove away I found that I could not escape The way he spoke of what the grace of God had done I thought about how sin had sentenced us to die And how God gave His only Son so you and I could say . . . And if the Son has set you free, Oh, if the Son has set you free Then you are free indeed, Oh, you are really free If the Son has set you free, Oh, if the Son has set you free Then you are free, really, really, free Oh, we're free, yeah, oh, we have been forgiven God's grace has broken every chain and given us these wings And we're free, yeah, yeah, and the freedom we've been given Is something that not eve |

These words before But every time I say "I love you" The words mean something more I spoke them as a promise Right from the start I said death would be the only thing That could tear us apart And now that you are standing On the edge of the unknown "I love you" means I'll be with you Wherever you must go I will take a heart as nature As to be beat for me alone And fill it up with you Make all your joy and pain my own No matter how deep a valley you go through I will go there with you And I will give myself to love The way love gave itself for me And climb with you to mountain tops Or swim the raging sea To the place where one heart is made from two I will go there with you I will go there with you I see it in your tears You wonder where you are The wind is growing colder And the sky is going dark Though it's something neither of us understands We can walk through this together If we hold each other's hand I said for better or for worse I'd be with you So no matter where you're going I will go there too I know sometimes I've let you down But I won't let you go We'll always be together |

My heart is restless as I wander through this jungle
The trees above refuse to let the sunlight through And somewhere deep inside I hear the whispered longings That tell me I was made for more than this A blinding flash of light falls down into the darkenss Slowly I notice strange new markings on the trail The crimson drops are calling out to me come and follow 'I am the God who made you, let Me show you how to live' And I cry... I want to be a God follower I want to go wherever He leads I want to be a God follower I want to walk the trail He's marked for me And be a God follower (More than anything) A now I journey on with the purpose and and with passion Just like a dead man who's been given breath again And though this path can still grow dark with tears and sorrow I know He will never leave me So with everything I am I will say... I want to be a God follower I want to go wherever He leads I want to be a God follower I want to walk the trail He's marked for me And when I reach God's place I will look into His face And then I'll look for you Will I find you there? Can you say with me... I want to be a God follower I want to be a God follower I want to be a God follower I want to be a God follower |

And the pain falls like a curtain
On the things I once called certain And I have to say the words I fear the most I just don't know And the questions without answers Come and paralyze the dancer So I stand here on the stage afraid to move Afraid to fall, oh, but fall I must On this truth that my life has been formed from the dust CHORUS: God is God and I am not I can only see a part of the picture He's painting God is God and I am man So I'll never understand it all For only God is God And the sky begins to thunder And I'm filled with awe and wonder 'Til the only burning question that remains Is who am I Can I form a single mountain Take the stars in hand and count them Can I even take a breath without God giving it to me He is first and last before all that has been Beyond all that will pass CHORUS Oh, how great are the riches of His wisdom and knowledge How unsearchable for to Him and through Him and from Him are all things So let us worship before the throne Of the One who is worthy of worship alone CHORUS |

Her house was where the family gathered every Christmas eve;
A feast was set on the table and gifts were placed beneath the tree. Everything was picture perfect, Grandpa would laugh and say, That woman spends the whole year getting ready for this day. One year the leaves began to fall and her health began to fade; We moved her to a place where they could watch her night and day. But she kept making plans for Christmas from her little room; She told everyone, I'll miss you but I'll be leaving soon. I'm going home for Christmas and I'm going home to stay; I'm going home for Christmas and nothing's gonna keep me away. I'll be with the ones I love to celebrate the Savior's birth; This gift will be worth more to me than anything on earth. I'm going home, home for Christmas. All the leaves outside have fallen to be covered by the snow; The family comes with food and gifts and Grandpa comes alone. There's a sadness in our silence as the Christmas story's read, And with tears, Grandpa reminds us of the words that Grandma said. I'm going home for Christmas and I'm going home to stay; I'm going home for Christmas and nothing's gonna keep me away. She'll be face to face with Jesus as we celebrate His birth, And this gift will be worth more to her than anything on earth, 'Cause she'll be home. And as we sing 'Joy to the World' I can't help thinking Of the joy that's in her eyes right now. And though our hearts still ache, we know that as we celebrate, She's singing with the herald angels and heaven's glowing on her face. And now she's home for Christmas and now she's home to stay; She's home for Christmas, and nothin' could've kept her away. She'll be face to face with Jesus, as we celebrate His birth, And this gift will be worth more to her than anything on earth. She's home, she's home for Christmas. She is home, she's home for Christmas. |

Well normally at this point you'd hear me sing And I'd be doing that acoustic guitar thing So by now you're probably wondering what's going on 'Cause this is really starting to sound like one of those rap songs Well let me tell you what the boy's up to You see I like rap music and the beat box groove And sometimes I gotta admit I close all the doors And wave my arms around and I pace the floor But then I crack up laughing, I gotta stop And just face the facts the boy don't hip hop You see I grew up in a state where the grass is blue So if it's gonna be believable it's got to b tru CHORUS It's got to b tru I've gotta be living what I say I believe It's got to b tru even when nobody but Jesus is watching me It's got to b tru every single minute of every day If anybody's ever gonna look at me and say hey it's got to b tru You hear me saying that it's got to b tru And no my homeboy Toby wants to talk to you Tru check it out I got a next door neighbor And I can tell he's been watching my behavior Yo he's heard that I'm a Christian guy He wants to know if that's the truth or a lie He's got a list of reasons not to believe Like doubt, dissolution, hypocrisy It's gonna take some living proof to break through those walls Yea, it's got to b tru if he'll believe at all (Chorus) G-O-T-T-O-B-T-R-U |

The morning finds me here at heaven's door
A place I've been so many times before Familiar thoughts and phrases start to flow And carry me to places that I know so well But dare I go where I don't understand And do I dare remember where I am I stand before the great eternal throne The one that God Himself is seated on And I, I've been invited as a son Oh I, I've been invited to come and... Believe the unbelievable Receive the inconceivable And see beyond my wildest imagination Lord, I come with great expectations So wake the hope that slumbers in my soul Stir the fire inside and make it glow I'm trusting in a love that has no end The Savior of this world has called me friend And I, I've been invited with the Son Oh I, I've been invited to come and... We've been invited with the Son And we've been invited to come and... Believe the unbelievable Receive the inconceivable And see beyond our wildest imagination Lord, we come with great expectations |

And I saw him standing there The cardboard sign he held Said he was hungry I looked the other way And waited for the light to change As if to say "I'd help, But I'm in such a hurry." These are the moments of truth What would love have me do? Heartbeat of heaven I want you to be my own Heartbeat of heaven I want my life to show The kind of love that comes and goes With the heartbeat of heaven I know sometimes this heart of mine Beats only for itself Full of hopes and dreams, and plans of progress But this heart beating here in me Belongs to Someone else He bought it with His life to show His love This is my prayer, Lord, today Let this heart beat Your way Loving, joyful, peaceful, patient Kind and good, and full of faith Self-controlled and gentle Oh, the heart of heaven beats this way Heartbeat of heaven, beat in me |

The taste of my tears
The day I watched you drift away And I remember Before you disappeared I started hoping for the day When I'd see your face And look in your eyes Feel your embrace And we'd never say goodbye I can hear it in the baby's cry In a mother's lullaby Everytime the morning sky Begins to glow I can feel it pounding deep inside It's keeping faith alive And i will not let it die The heartbeat of hope I am learning I'm learning as I go Just how thankful hope can be The ache of yearning Can never let you go It has become a part of me But pure are the longings Holding on and holding out I'll keep holding to the one thing I know I can not live without I can hear it in the baby's cry In a mother's lullaby Everytime the morning sky Begins to glow I can feel it pounding deep inside It's keeping faith alive And i will not let it die Because it's more Than something I believe in It's a song that makes me dance When my feet refuse to move It's the wind that bumps the water That I can not get through I can hear it in the baby's cry In a mother's lullaby Everytime the morning sky Begins to glow I can feel it pounding deep inside It's keeping faith alive And I will not let it die The heartbeat of hope I will not let it die The heartbeat of hope I will not let it die It's keeping faith alive It's the heartbeat of hope Keep it alive The heartbeat of hope I will not let it die No, I will not let it die Keep it alive Keep alive The heartbeat of hope |

Heaven is the face of a little girl With dark brown eyes That disappear when she smiles. Heaven is the place Where she calls my name Says, “Daddy please come play with me for awhile.” Chorus: God, I know, it’s all of this and so much more, But God, You know, that this is what I’m aching for. God, you know, I just can’t see beyond the door. So right now... Heaven is the sound of her breathing deep, Lying on my chest, falling fast asleep while I sing. And Heaven is the weight of her in my arms, Being there to keep her safe from harm while she dreams And God, I know, it’s all of this and so much more, But God, You know, that this is what I’m longing for God, you know, I just can’t see beyond the door. Bridge: But in my mind’s eye I can see a place Where Your glory fills every empty space. All the cancer is gone, Every mouth is fed, And there’s no one left in the orphans’ bed. Every lonely heart finds their one true love, And there’s no more goodbye, And no more not enough, And there’s no more enemy. Heaven is a sweet, maple syrup kiss And a thousand other little things I miss with her gone. Heaven is the place where she takes my hand And leads me to You, And we both run into Your arms. Oh God, I know, it’s so much more than I can dream. It’s far beyond anything I can conceive. So God, You know, I’m trusting You until I see Heaven in the face of my little girl, Heaven in the face of my little girl. |

Through Christ who gives me strength But sometime I wonder what He can do through me No great sucess to show No glory on my own Yet in my weakness He is there to let me know His strength is perfect when our strength is gone He'll carry us when we can't carry on Raised in His power, the weak become strong His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect We can only know The power that He holds When we truly see how deep our weakness goes His strength in us begins Where ours comes to an end He hears our humble cry and proves again His strength is perfect when our strength is gone He'll carry us when we can't carry on Raised in His power, the weak become strong His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect |

Through Christ who gives me strength But sometime I wonder what He can do through me No great sucess to show No glory on my own Yet in my weakness He is there to let me know His strength is perfect when our strength is gone He'll carry us when we can't carry on Raised in His power, the weak become strong His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect We can only know The power that He holds When we truly see how deep our weakness goes His strength in us begins Where ours comes to an end He hears our humble cry and proves again His strength is perfect when our strength is gone He'll carry us when we can't carry on Raised in His power, the weak become strong His strength is perfect, His strength is perfect |

I have come to this ocean
And the waves of fear are starting to grow The doubts and questions are rising with the tide So I'm clinging to the one sure thing I know I will hold on to the hand of my Savior And I will hold on with all my might I will hold loosely to things that are fleeting And hold on to Jesus I will hold on to Jesus for life I've tried to hold many treasures They just keep slipping through my fingers like sand But there's one treasure that means more than breath itself So I'm clinging to it with everything I am Like a child holding on to a promise I will cling to His word and believe As I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me Hold on for life |

I know that look on your face
I know the secrets you tell You're every mood I can trace I guess I could say I know you well But how can I say I know you well Cause when I look in your eyes I see a million miles across an endless sea I wanna sail the waves and make the great discovery And when I hold you in my arms The beating of your heart is calling out to me I'm holding a mystery How many songs will be sung? How many words will be said? How many stories of love Lie deep within you Waiting to be read And I want your story to be read Cause when I look in your eyes I see a million miles across an endless sea I wanna sail the waves and make the great discovery And when I hold you in my arms The beating of your heart is calling out to me I'm holding a mystery The beating of your heart Is calling out to me Only a God of endless wisdom, love and mercy Could have created such a wonder as you I hear the beating of your heart calling out to me I'm holding a mystery |

Well you know it's not the first time
And it will not be the last When You find me here on my knees Praying for the storm to pass But what I am really needing Is much more than just relief I am crying out for wisdom Only You can give to me Cause it's such a mystery I'm a clueless man When it comes To knowing how to love a woman How do I love her? How do I let her know she Means more than anything to me? How do I love her? Out of all the gifts You've given Besides the very gift of life There is none as precious to me As the treasure of my wife And still all the love in my heart Is like a raindrop to the sea When compared to Your love for her And that's why I ask You please Will You teach me what she needs I'm a earnest man When it comes To learning how to love this woman How do I love her? How do I let her know she Means more than anything to me? How do I love her? Well I know it's gonna to take a lifetime To answer this prayer I pray But that's okay Cause I've given You and her my lifetime anyway How do I love her? How do I let her know she Means more than anything to me? How do I love her? Won't you tell me, tell me please... |

Verse 1:
Aren't you the little one That hid in my arms afraid of the thunder Are these the little hands That held so tight to mine Didn't we both agree you'd never grow up And now here we are, and here you go Of all the things I want to say The thing you really need to know is... Chorus A: I believe in you I believe in you Everything you are Everything you are becoming And I believe in you I believe in you So spread your wings and fly On the winds of knowing I always believe in you Verse 2: So many prayers we've prayed so many dreams to get to this moment Now this is where we stay While you go change the world But I'll be where I have always been Up in the stands cheering you on and singing this song A song the very God who made you Has been singing all along Chorus B: I believe in you Yeah, I believe in you So spread your wings and fly On the winds of knowing I will always believe in you Bridge: And when you rise and when you fall I'll still believe in you Just close your eyes and hear me calling I believe in You Oh, I believe in you |

from Steven Curtis Chapman - Speechless (1999)
Sitting in a traffic jam 11:52 p.m.
Just a few miles south of Cincinnati Ohio I take my pen and start to write The thoughts that fill my head tonight Nothing terribly profound Just these simple words That keep my heart anchored down That keep my restless heart anchored down ~Chorus~ I do, I do, I do, I do believe I know, I know, I know, I know it's true, yeah I do, I do, I do, I do believe Lord, I believe in You I believe in You Now these can be confusing times The skeptics posing as the wise It's hard to see the light Through all the shadows of the doubt But You keep saying all the while It takes the vision of a child Looking through the eyes of faith to see reality So once again I will say I believe You're the life You're the truth, You're the way ~Chorus~ If this faith in You is blind It's not to anything that's true 'Cause Your love opens up my eyes To see that everything I need Is found when I believe in You, yeah ~Chorus~ |
