Smith Wigglesworth (June 8, 1859 – March 12, 1947), was a British evangelist who was important in the early history of Pentecostalism.
Smith Wigglesworth was born on June 8, 1859 in Menston, Yorkshire, England, to an impoverished family. As a small child, he worked in the fields pulling turnips alongside his mother; he also worked in factories. During his childhood he was illiterate.
Nominally a Methodist, he became a born again Christian at the age of eight. His grandmother was a devout Methodist; his parents, John and Martha, were not practicing Christians although they took young Smith to Methodist and Anglican churches on regular occasions. He was confirmed by a Bishop in the Church of England, baptized by immersion in the Baptist Church and had the grounding in Bible teaching in the Plymouth Brethren while learning the plumbing trade as an apprentice from a man in the Brethren movement.
Wigglesworth married Polly Featherstone on May 2, 1882. At the time of their marriage, she was a preacher with the Salvation Army, and had come to the attention of General William Booth. They had one daughter, Alice, and four sons, Seth, Harold, Ernest and George. Polly died in 1913.

Born in Houston, Texas, Osteen is one of five children of John Osteen and Dolores ("Dodie") Pilgrim.

His half-brother Justin does missionary work out of New York.
After 17 years producing the church's television program, Osteen succeeded his father on October 3, 1999, as pastor of Lakewood Church. He had only preached once in his life, the week before his father's death. Today, Lakewood Church services, led by Pastor Joel Osteen, are seen in over 100 nations around the world. Joel Osteen's first book, Your Best Life Now: 7 Steps to Living at Your Full Potential, was released in October 2004.

Anything is possible
In Him all things are possible
All you do is keep the faith
Don't give up 'cause it's never too late
Anything is possible
In Him all things are possible
You can have whatever you say
Cast your fears away
There is a way
That you can have everything
That you've always dreamed of
There is a way
Just keep your feet on the ground
While you reach for the heavens
There is a way
It may take a little time
But never stray from the vision
Just keep the faith
You can't give up now
Repeat chorus
There is a way
It may be hard for you now,
But it's gonna get better
Your life will change
I've seen it done in the past,
So never say never
Where is your faith
You can speak to the mountain
And it will be moved
That is the way
To receive all He has for you
Consider the kindness of a stranger
That passes by your way
For there are ties that bind us
Together, forever
Touching the broken-hearted friend
Brings healing to the soul within
There's evidence everywhere
Of His love, sweet love
Chorus:
God is all around us
Even when we feel were all alone
I can hear Him whispering my name
Telling me that Im His own
God is all around us
Even when we feel all hope is gone
God is all around
God is all around
They're so many lessons yet to learn
And I don't know where the road will turn
He always finds a way
To guide me, remind me
That if I should fall into the night
He will be there, a shining light
For all the world to see
With open arms for you and me
Chorus
God is all around (Hell hear your prayers)
If you just reach out (Hes everywhere)
God is everywhere
God is all around us
When you feel all alone
Cant you hear Him whispering your name
Telling you that you're His own
For God is all around
On my own I'm weak
On my own I need
A little hang now and then
Just to tunnel me through
Another mountain
On my own I stumble
On my own I crumble
Beneath the weight of worries
Beneath the skies of trouble
Raining over me
But then you come like the morning
Turning my world with a touch
Chorus
Can't nothing come against us
As long as we're together
There's no table we can't turn
There's no problem we can't weather
As a matter of fact
And a matter of trust
We have nothing to fear
As long, as long, as long as we have us
On my own I struggle
On my own I'm not able
Without someone like you
Just to carry me through
Another valley
On my own I'm nothing
On my own I'm just wandering
Without a purpose or goal
Down a lonely road
That's never ending
Until your faith in me
Gave me a reason to believe
Chorus
We can make it
We can make it through anything
If we don't let change break us apart, apart, apart
I'll be that one and only friend
That you can sure depend upon
You'll never find her story in a fairy tale
'Cause she wasn't like, the other women at the well
Her life was full of pain, hurt, rejection
And loneliness she didn't want to show
But Jesus saw the desert in her soul
Chorus:
Drink from this water
Drink from this water
And you will never, you'll never thirst again
Drink from this water
Drink from this water
You will never, you'll never thirst again
Ooooh
We all search for something
To fill us up inside
But it's only an illusion
You know a True Love's hard to find
But I'm here to tell you there's one place
Your thirst is quenched for ever more
You will never leave empty disappointed
You will find what you are looking for
Chorus
And oh Jesus will meet you
At the place of every need
And only He can make the wounded whole
And make the blind man see
Chorus
Chorus
Waitin, waitin
Ohhhh
I know how it feels to be
Just another face in the crowd
To feel like a whisper
In a world that's much too loud
Tryin to find a place to fit in
A dream where u don't understand
And where your dreams begin
Chorus
Don't let it pull you down
Don't let it turn you around
Don't ever forget whose child you are
Though others may fail to see
The diamond that lies beneath
He knows just how priceless you are
While you're waiting in the wings
Underestimated
By everyone that passes you by
Lookin up from the bottom
Like a flower that's reachin for the sky
Waitin for the sun to break through
Waitin for the chance for it
To shine down on you
Chorus
Bridge
I see you standin behind the curtain
Listening to everyone's applause
But remember the first shall be last
And the last shall be first
I watch the moon as it rises on your lovely face
I think of all the places you have yet to go
What a wonder, you will know
In all the things yet to discover
Like the autumn colors
With all your seasons changing in this world
I hung the moon there to shine upon your lovely face
I made the universe to dance when your heart sings
In hope that someday you would see my love uncovered
Like a long lost letter left to lead you home
Never be alone
For I have made a promise
And so it will be
This is a promise everlasting
I belong to you, and you to Me
So ask me once again
And it remains as it was to begin
A promise, and a promise you cannot change
It remains the same
I color life like a painting on your heart and soul
I made the wonder and the mystery you dream of
And if that is not enough - I'll never leave you
Of all the things I've promised you
Remember that love is for always
And I will never change
For I have made a promise
And so it will be
This is a promise everlasting
I belong to you, and you to Me
So ask me once again
And it remains as it was to begin
A promise, and a promise you cannot change
So keep on watching
Keep on waiting
Let your soul ignite and shine it like a candle in the night
So the promise never dies
Keep it alive
I have made a promise
And so it will be
This is a covenant everlasting
I belong to you, and you to Me
So ask me once again
And it remains as it was to begin
Mama always told me, ?Child, a little dab'll do ya

She said, ?Just a little faith is all it takes to prove it

All this time been reaching for the sky
Still won't compromise, no, no, no
What's the price? I'll make the sacrifice
I'm reaching for the prize, yeah, yeah
Everyone won't always understand the why
Behind the passion that I feel inside

To keep moving forward
And don't ever look back, don't look back

Trust and you'll see
All your dreams come true

This courage for each day, oh yes, there is, oh, oh
Looking to the future through the eyes of faith
We'll only try and get the best of me, oh, oh
Mama said, ?You just can't let it happen
You've gone too far and you can't turn back
You can never turn back?
Even though it's just a little further, I can tell ya

It was on a day like no other
Seeking your face when I discovered
My life was no longer my own, but yours
Then I heard you say, Go and tell them
To open your heart, let me in and I will supply your every need
Then I cried, Lord, I don't know if I can do it
You will find your strength in me. Only believe
Then I said, What if I fail? I just couldnt take it
He said, I have given you my ability
Chorus:
For the sake of the call
I am laying down my all
No turning back
Moving straight ahead
Im on the right track
And it's all for the sake of the call
Sister, let me encourage your heart
Brother, leave doubt behind, stay your part
Know that he's with you, yes, he's there all the time
You may feel like you can't go on any longer
Though you are weak, remember he's stronger
Through Him you can do most anything
You might cry Lord I don't know if I can do it
You will find your strength in him only believe
You might say, What if I fail? I just couldnt take it.
He has given you the ability
Repeat Chorus
Daily I press toward the mark for the prize
Raise your hands and lift your voice
Make some noise
This is your time, come on everybody
Rejoice, come on, rejoice
Life throws us around in circles
That never seem to come to an end
Before you know it you don't know how or when
You lost the joy but you're lost too
The burning fire that burns deep within
But it's never too late to start again
Just because you can't, forget the hurry
It's time to lay it on top
Raise your hands and lift your voice
Sing a new song to the Lord
Give Him thanks and make some noise
This is your time, come on everybody
Rejoice
Come on, rejoice
Rejoice, come on
You don't have to look very far now
To find a reason, to find a rhyme, no
You just got to stop, you got to take the time
To see His glory, feel His mercy
To see the life that He's given to us
All the joy and all the forgiveness
(Before the Lord's mountain)
Before the mountain
Before we start to climb
Raise your hands and lift your voice
Sing a new song to the Lord
Give Him thanks and make some noise
This is your time, come on everybody
Rejoice
Come on, rejoice
Rejoice, come on
Ooh, move over
Make some noise, yeah
Come on, ooh yeah
Hey, hey, hey, hey
God speaks unto you, everybody rejoice
This is the day the Lord has made
And I will rejoice
This is the day the Lord has made
And I will rejoice
This is the day the Lord has made
And I will rejoice
This is the day the Lord has made
Before the rocks, before the mountains
Before we start to climb, oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Raise your hands and lift your voice
Sing a new song to the Lord
Give Him thanks and make some noise
This is your time, come on
Raise your hands and lift your voice
Sing a new song to the Lord
Give Him thanks and make some noise
This is your time, come on everybody
Rejoice
This is the day the Lord has made
And I will rejoice
This is the day the Lord has made
From the moment I met you
It was then that I realized
That you were the only one for me
You put a sparkle in my eye
Oh, how precious is my lady
One who takes away my fears
What a joy to love you with me
Can't imagine you not here
The lovely smile in your eyes
Letting me know that I'm alive
I've never felt the way I do
I'm in love with you
(Chorus)
Ooh, baby
You make my life complete
Oh, ooh my sweet baby
Thank you for lovin' me
Darin' can you remember
The first time I held your hand
It was then I knew forever
By your side I'd always stand
You've proven to be just what I need
No need to fear 'cause I'll never leave, no
When I'm with you I'm so amazed
How I love you
(Chorus)X2
Ooh Baby
It came from the heart
I said the words I do
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you
It took a while but it was about time
Unconditionally I wanna say
The lovely smile in your eyes
Letting me know that I'm alive
I've never felt the way I do
I'm in love with you
I remember the rain on the roof that morning
And all the things that I wanted to say
The angry words
came from nowhere without warning
stole the moment and sent me away
And you standing there at the doorway crying
And me wondering if I'd ever be back
I said I didn't come here to leave you
I didn't come here to lose
I didn't come here believing
I would ever be away from you
I didn't come here to find out
There's a weakness in my faith
I was brought here by the power of love (love)
Love by grace
And I remember the road just went on forever
Just couldn't seen to turn that car around
Till in the distance like a long lost treasure
A phone booth that just could not be found
And you standing there at the doorway waiting
And the moment when we laid back down
I said I didn't come here to leave you
I didn't come here to lose
I didn't come here believing
I would ever be away from you
I didn't come here to find out
There's a weakness in my faith
I was brought here by the power of love...
That was just a moment in time
And one we'll never forget
One we can leave behind
Cause when there was doubt
You'll remember I said
I didn't come here believing
I would ever be away from you
I didn't come here to find out
There's a weakness in my faith, yeah
I was brought here by the power of love
I was brought here by the power of love...
Love by grace
You have walked into my life
You have painted all my dreams
Til the color of your love is the color of me
You can look into my heart
And you can read my mind
You can read about yourself in between the lines
Chorus:
Every good thing I have done
Everything that Ive become
Everything that's turned out right
Is because you're in my life
And if I ever teach a child the way
Ever learn myself to change
Ever become who I want to be
Its not the I but the You in me.
You have looked into my eyes
You have seen what I am
But still, you're by my side
Telling me I can
And there are times Ive caused you pain
And times Ive made mistakes
Somehow you used them all to make the I you made
Repeat Chorus
And if I ever wondered for a hundred, thousand years
I would never understand
How you're in me
And Im in you
And you could say
You are the reason why I am
Sometimes
I think about hearts of angels
Perfect light
To guide their flight away from danger
With their halos of gold
Their wisdom of old
And feathered wings that unfold
[Chorus]
It must have been angels that carried me
When I was too weak to lift my feet
When I was too blind to clearly see
Time is cruel
To youth and grace and flawless beauty
Life is hard
Do unto others - that's our duty
When my soul was in pain
With more loss than gain
I heard an angel speak my name
[Chorus]
It must have been angels that carried me
When I was too weak to lift my feet
When I was too blind to clearly see
[Chorus]
Every day I feel the touch of an angel
With the wind and the rain in my hair
The warmth of the sun will soon appear
It must have been angels that carried me
When I was too weak to lift my feet
When I was too blind to clearly see
Heavenly light shined down on me
Love came down and set me free
It must have been angels
He must have sent angels
I've done all I can to please you
But I can't wipe away that frown
I'm letting go, that's how much I love you
It's in God's hands now
I gave you my heart, forever
And I will keep that solemn vow
But I can't put us back together, no
It's in God's hands now
Lord knows, I've cried and cried
'Cause I don't want to lose you
Oh, I tried, yes, I tried
But if I'm not the one who moves you
I won't hold you down, no, no
My head is in a cloud of sorrow
But my feet are on the ground
There's hope for us, as long as there's tomorrow
It's in God's hands now
Lord knows, I've cried and cried
'Cause I don't want to lose you
Oh, I tried, yes, I tried
But if I'm not the one who moves you
I won't hold you down, no
We're in God's hands now
Each day, I'm learnin' not compare myself
There's always gonna be somebody else who's more successful
Who seems to have my wants from me
I wonder if they feel the same about me
Said we can be surrounded by the finest things and still you're so alone
And everybody has their share of their doubts
Moments of up and downs, turnarounds
It's just a part of life
Come on reach out your hand
Let's join and take a stand
And find a way to make the world a better place
We can't give in from the one thing we must face
We're all in the need of love, all in the need of love
We're all in the need of love
There's always [Incomprehensible]
And there will be tears that fall
People who lose and give it up
There's gonna be sunshine after the rain
As feel their sky is always gonna be a [Incomprehensible]
Said nobody knows what the future holds
All we have is now
And if we put our hearts together
I know we can build the love and rise above
Thats what our dreams made of
Come on reach out your hand
Let's join and take a stand
And find a way to make the world a better place
We can't give in from the one thing we must face
We're all in the need of love, all in the need of love
We're all in the need of love
We need a love that will stretch beyond the measures
We need enough to make it last forever
We need a love, hearts can treasure upon
We need a love to contain you and never part
If you let, if you let, it will be begin
[Incomprehensible]
And you will see what will set you free
And to have another be your guiding light
We're all in the need of love, we're all in the need of love
Hey, everybody, we're all in the need of love
We're all in the need of love
Hey, everybody, we're all in the need of love
We're all in the need of love
Hey, everybody, we're all in the need of love
We're all in the need of love
Verse1
Lift your name on high
I remember the day you found me
I was incomplete
My hope was lost and fading fast
A search we couldn’t find
Then all of sudden I fell out of no where
A rushing mighty wind
It changed my heart
Renewed my mind
And now I peace within
Chorus
I’m gonna lift your name on high
Your presence I can not deny
Tell everybody if I could
Cause I know Lord you been good
(Repeat)
Verse 2
Now every since the day you claimed me
I haven’t been the same
Although I‘ve had many up’s and down’s
Your love for me has never changed
This brand new life that I have in you
Has been thee open door
To peace and joy and happiness
To think there is so much more
Chorus
Bridge
Lord you’ve been good
Like no one else could
You’re more than life to me
My everything
Chorus 2
Lord, I lift your name on high
Your presence I can not deny
Tell everybody if I could
Cause I know Lord you been good
Chorus
Bridge
Chorus 2
Began a new life
Found a love of your own
Got someone by your side
Now you don't have to be alone
But you find yourself in need of more than what they can give
And it's taking all your strength within to get them to understand
Chorus
Well, there's a place within the soul
There's a place that nobody knows
It's a place where some they come and go
But no one can fulfill the Godspot
A place that's in demand
Need a lot of love someone to understand
It's a place where only He can
'Cause no one can fulfill the Godspot
Always surrounded
By so many many friends
They were like a family
Promised to be there 'til the end
But then you realized you gave too much of your heart away
You put all your trust in them
You thought they would always stay
Chorus
When everyone has let you down
Depend on God, He'll always be around
And when life seems impossible
Trust in Him, and you will find He's able
Yes, He's able, yeah
I'm trying to say that things and people will never satisfy
'Cause there is nothing or anyone who could take the place of God
Chorus
No one can fulfill it, it's a Godspot, yes it is
If i labor God is gonna give me a crown, crown
If i labor God is gonna give me a crown, crown
If i labor in your vineyard, God is gonna give
Me a crown, crown
So i believe i'll work (work) in the vineyard
Sun is going down
If i labor God is gonna give me a crown, crown
If i labor God is gonna give me a crown, crown
So i believe i'll work (work) in the vineyard
Sun is going down
Did the lord not say whatever is right i'll pay
Did the lord not say work while it is day
Did the lord not say he would take us away
If i labor (oh yes) God is gonna give me a crown
So i believe i'll work (work) in the vineyard
The sun is gin down
I believe i'll work (work) in the vineyard
Work in the vineyard
Work in the vineyard
Sun is going down
You are the answer
You are the answer to my prayer
You are the answer
Now I know
You were there all the time
Those nights I thought no one heard
You were embracing my every word
What a shame
Wish I knew all the while
That your love could bring me a smile again
And the hurt would end
Chorus
Your love has given me
A warmth that brings me to my knees
Through kind and desperate times
I know you're there
You are the answer to my prayers
There are still times
I fear I won't make it through
But just as you always do
You carry me when I'm too weak to stand
This is why
I'll walk with you for all my life
Cuz you've given me one more reason to live
To laugh and forgive
Chorus
I want the whole world to find
This kind of love that brings peace of mind
No matter where i am
You always here me pray
Chorus
He's the answer, Jesus is the answer
For the world today
He's the answer, Jesus is the answer
Yeah
Alright, oh yeah
There is a war inside
Between my spirit and mind
I sit here wondering "why oh why"
I find myself confused
Emotions on the loose
I know what's right
But it's often the wrong i choose
Shoulda done it your way, but just like a child
I'm losing my direction, i need you to guide me
Turn me into someone that's faithful and true
Give me the strength to live my life for you.
(Cho)
Tell me why i do what i don't wanna do
And i don't do what i wanna do
Tell me why i do what i don't wanna do.
Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah
I live a double life
Sometimes i compromise
I feel ashamed of the way my heart looks inside
And though i long to obey
Sometimes i drift away
And take for granted your never-ending grace
Help me to remember your love for me
Take me to the river, wash me in your mercy
You're the father of forgiveness time after time
But still there's something messing with my mind
(cho)
Rept cho
Do what i don't wanna do
Ohh ohhh
I remember the time
I turned and walked away
Like a lamb who'd gone astray
My life was filled with grief
And every day i searched for relief
But in the distance i could still hear him say
Chorus
Come unto me
If you are weary
And I will give you rest
Come unto me
If you are worried
I'm all the comfort you need
So come unto me
Come unto me
Now if you may find
Yourself hopeless or in despair
Brokenhearted
Needing someone to care
You can begin to express
All the void and emptiness deep inside
He's waiting with his arms open wide
To receive you today
Chorus
You're covered with sorrow
You can't see a tomorrow
I'm all the comfort all you need
So come, come on come on come on
When the clouds cover up your heart
And the darkness appears before the rain starts
Though the hors turn to may days
The hope that soon it will pass is what you embrace
For the clouds will rain in a season
Healing drops to wash the hurt away
And the sun will give in it's perfect time
A revelation of a brand new day
Take heart this time
Know everything will be alright
Rest assured as soon as the morning comes
We'll go walkin', walkin' in the light
We'll go walkin', walkin' in the light.
Now it seems having been here before
One would know by now when to yield the floor
To the One who created time and space
Knowing sometimes the message is simply to wait
For our faith is not what could happen
Or the evidence of what we can't see
But hope is what you can still hold to
Never letting go of what you believe
Repeat chorus
Should you ever need someone just call me
It's no a question if I'm here for you
I'm right by your side
Through the test of time
People are talkin' '
Bout the way I'm walkin'
Troubled by the change in my stride
Everyone's askin' 'Bout the way I'm actin'
Bothered by the look in my eyes
They can see a difference In my way of livin'
But they don't know the reason why I can't wait to tell them what is wrong with me
Love without condition
This is my addiction
It's a need that only God can fill
Once I got to taste it
Nothing could replace it
Now I've let it overtake my will I admit my weakness
Craving it's sweetness I have givin' into it's control
Love has got a hold on me and won't let go
(chorus) I'm under, under the influence I'm under, under the influence I'm under the influence of love
Used to feel empty
Now I have plenty
Ever since I drank from the fountain
With the Spirit in me And the strength it gives me
A little faith can move mountains
Take my life, use me Lord Shine Your light through me for
All the world to see that I am not my own
(chorus)
(bridge) What the world needs is love sweet love
When the night is long
And the dreams you've been holdin' seem all but gone
When you're tired, cold and weak
And you can't stop your mind, no you can't even sleep.....
I know that you're worried
And you're in such a hurry
But you know you're never alone
You're never alone.....
So wherever you go let my love shine a light
Down every road be it left or right
May it always get you through
These are the things, all the things I wish for you.....
In my eyes, in my heart
Oh, you shine like a diamond brighter than the stars
The whole world waits for you
Just be sure to find joy in whatever you choose.....
And don't look so worried, darlin'
There's no need to hurry
Always know, I believe in you
I believe in you....
And wherever you go let my love shine a light
Down every road be it left or right
May it always get you through
These are the things, I wish, I wish that
Music and laughter would fill your days.........
And whatever you're after is on it's way
To make all your dreams come true
These are the things, all the things I wish for you.......
Just wanna see you happy, little one
I wanna see you smile that smile......
Go on and spread your little wings-fly, fly, fly.....
And wherever you go let my love shine a light
Down every road be it left or right
May it always get you through
These are the things, I wish, I wish that........
Music and laughter would fill your days
And whatever you're after is on it's way
To make all your dreams come true
These are the things, all the things I wish for you.....
Oh, and may all your dreams come true
I don't love you like i used to
When nothing came between my God and me
And somehow it seems i've lessened my dependence
And wonder why it's not the way it used to be
(Cho)
But i'm ready to learn how to faithfully love you
With my heart, my soul, and my mind
Take me back
(take me back to) the time i fell in love.
I don't serve you like i used to
'cause i'm too busy serving me
And i don't spend the time with you i need to
And wonder why my soul cannot find peace
(Cho)
But i'm ready to learn how to faithfully serve you
With my hands, my life, and my time
Take me back
(take me back to) the time i fell in love
Take me back, take me back, take me back there
(in love) take me back, take me back, take me back there
(i fell in love) take me back, take me back, take me back there
(in love)
I don't love you like i used to
When nothing came between my God and me
But i'm ready to learn how to faithfully love you
With my heart, my soul, and my mind
Oh yeah, yeah
Take me back (oh Lord)
Take me back to
The time i fell in love
I had it all, living on cloud nine
I was losing myself in having a good time
There was no need for anyone
I simply closed my eyes
Then I woke up with my heart aching
And that's when I realized
Chorus
Something was missing
Somethign was wrong
How could I think that I could get along
Without you?
My eyes could see the sun
It was shining
But I only felt the rain
'Cause something was missing
Until I let you in my life again.
Verse 2
You were there waiting
Watching from the sidelines
Standing there wondering
When I'd come around
It took so long for me to see
That without you, I wouldn't be
I couldn't breathe
And without you my life would have no meaning
Bridge
Until I let you in my life again
Something was missing
You try to say that nothing's wrong
But my heart can feel right through your camaflouge
Don't try to tell me you'll be strong
I've been there too I know this road is hard oh yeah
When the ache feels stronger
Than the strength you feel inside
It's there in your weakness
His grace will abide
Just let me send out a prayer, a cry
For help to heaven from me
Just let me send out a prayer,
Speak hope into despair for you
Let me send out a prayer for you
We're to help each other, weather these storms together
In the name of love.
That's what friends are all about. Here to help each other out.
When the push comes to shove. Ohhh.
I'll pray you through anything that you face.
Don't worry about a thing. Cuz I'll plead your case.
Just let me send out a prayer a cry,
For help to heaven from me. (Send down a prayer, send down a prayer)
Just let me send down a prayer
Speak hope into despair for you
No need to worry cuz I'm in your corner.
No matter how the road may turn. (May turn, ooo yeah, mmmm)
I'll pray you through anything that you face
Don't worry about a thing cuz I'll plead your case.
Send out a prayer, a cry
For help to heaven from me. (A prayer away, A prayer away)
Just let me send out a prayer, a cry
For help to heaven from me.(Send out a prayer, send out a prayer)

There is a longing in the heart
There is a hunger in the soul
A thirst that can't be satisfied
And deep inside you know
You long for something that is much more
Than everything that's in your world
Life is a dream and heaven's reality
And I'm caught in between
I know it seems this world has everything
It's nothing more than a dream
'Cos life is a dream and heaven's reality
And if we just hold on
Then we will wake up to the face of God
Half of life's not even lived
There are parts we cannot see
But sometimes we catch a glimpse
As through a glass darkly
What should be, what life really could be
If heaven only could be now
Life is a dream and heaven's reality
And I'm caught in between
I know it seems this world has everything
It's nothing more than a dream
'Cos life is a dream and heaven's reality
And if we just hold on
Then we will wake up to the face of God
There's a need to know and to be known
There's an emptiness that's filled by God alone
Life is a dream and heaven's reality
And I'm caught in between
Life is a dream and heaven's reality
And if we just hold on
Then we will wake up to the face of God
I am dreamin', I am dreamin'
I am dreamin', I am dreamin'
I am dreamin', I am dreamin'
Let earth receive her king.
Joy to the world, the Lord is come,
Let earth receive her king.
Let every heart prepare him room,
Let Heaven and nature sing,
Let Heaven and nature sing.
Joy to the world the savior reigns,
Let men their songs employ,
While fields and floods, rocks, hills, and plains,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy.
He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glory of his righteousness,
And wonders of his love,
And wonders of his love.
He is the King (King of Kings),
That reigns forever,
He's the beginning and the end,
Which was and is,
And soon to come-,
Come...
Adlib:
Heaven and nature sing
Let Heaven and nature sing,
Let Heaven and nature sing...
Joy to the world, the Lord is come,
Let earth receive her king.
Let every heart prepare him room,
Let Heaven and nature sing,
Let Heaven and nature sing.
Joy to the world, the Lord is come,
(Heaven and nature sing)
(Now we sing)
Now you sing
There are so many people who have walked this earth
Thinking that they know the truth
So they often criticize the way I believe
And they say, "Tell me, where is your proof?"
I tell them Jesus was
(Wounded)
For my transgressions
(Transgressions)
And He was bruised
(Bruised)
For my inequities
(Inequities)
They're gonna know that's true
They're gonna know that's true
They've got to know that it's the truth
They've got to know that it's the truth
That
Jesus
(He was sent from the Father)
Jesus
(He's a great Messiah)
Jesus
(He's bread for the hungry)
Jesus
(He's water for the thirsty)
Jesus
(He's hope for the hopeless)
Jesus
(He arose from the dead)
Jesus
(Just like He said)
Every knee shall bow
Every tongue confess
That Jesus is Lord
That Jesus is Lord
He walked upon the water
And this same Jesus calmed the raging sea
He healed a man that was lame one day
And from sinking sand He lifted me
I tell them Jesus was
(Wounded)
For my transgressions
(Transgressions)
And He was bruised
(Bruised)
For my inequities
(Inequities)
Every knee shall bow
Every tongue confess
That Jesus is Lord
That Jesus is Lord
Jesus is Lord
Bow, bow
Bow, bow
Bow down
I hear you're faced with troubled times
Struggling with life and a past not left behind
You're not alone 'cause you are a friend of mine, yes you are
We need someone who is right by our side
To laugh and joke and to cry with, when we cry
A safer place to go when your heart aches inside
I just want to let you know that I'm here for you
Anytime you're hurting, you know just what to do
I'll be there no matter what you're going through
It's a matter of me, it's a matter of you
It's a matter of us helping each other too
All the matters of life, it's a matter of love
Love is all about faith, faith is all about trust
Trust is all about God taking care of us
As a matter of fact, it's a matter of love
There is a bond between you and me
No one can break this kind of loyalty
Working together is how God meant it to be
So count on me when you feel the need
You have my word, I'll stand by you faithfully
You can believe it when I say I'll never leave
I just want to let you know that I'm here for you
Anytime you're hurting, you know just what to do
I'll be there no matter what you're going through
It's a matter of me, it's a matter of you
It's a matter of us helping each other too
All the matters of life, it's a matter of love

All the matters of life, it's a matter of love
Love is all about faith, faith is all about trust
Trust is all about God taking care of us
As a matter of fact, it's a matter of love
It's a matter, it's a matter
It's a matter
It's a matter, it's a matter
It's a matter, it's a matter
It's a matter
You've been sitting there
While the time flies by
In a corner of despair
With a hundred questions why
You think you've fallen too deep
For anyone to reach your soul
But at the end of your tries
There's something I think you should know
Let me tell you there's grace enough
There's faith enough for you
There's an ocean of mercy
Grace enough, there's faith enough
To pull you through
So no matter how blue your yesterdays were
There's grace enough
There's grace enough for you
You've been a prisoner of your shame
For far too long
You've been lost outside His love
Struggling on your own
But you've been wondering forever
If things will get better here
But there's hope for the asking
Just beyond your fears
Let me tell you there's grace enough
There's faith enough for you
There's an ocean of mercy
Grace enough, there's faith enough
To pull you through
So no matter how blue your yesterdays were
There's grace enough
There's grace enough for you
For you, for you, for you, for you
Grace enough for you
There's an ocean of mercy
Grace enough, there's faith enough
To pull you through
So no matter how blue your yesterdays were
There's grace enough
Consider the kindness of a stranger
That passes by your way
For there are ties that bind us
Together, forever
Touching the broken-hearted friend
Brings healing to the soul within
There's evidence everywhere
Of His love, sweet love
Chorus
God is all around us
Even when we feel were all alone
I can hear Him whispering my name
Telling me that Im His own
God is all around us
Even when we feel all hope is gone
God is all around
God is all around
They're so many lessons yet to learn
And I don't know where the road will turn
He always finds a way
To guide me, remind me
That if I should fall into the night
He will be there, a shining light
For all the world to see
With open arms for you and me
Repeat Chorus
God is all around (Hell hear your prayers)
If you just reach out (Hes everywhere)
God is everywhere
God is all around us
When you feel all alone
Cant you hear Him whispering your name
Telling you that you're His own
For God is all around
There's a spirit moving
All across this land.
Blowin' winds of change
People don't you understand.
Know more time for runnin'
At the devil's pace, no.
He is commandin'
That we run this race
(hook)
Whole-hearted, totally committed.
Tell me why you keep on trippin'
When there's life abundantly, life abundantly.
Love Jesus 'cause the clock is tickin'
You don't know what you'll be missin'
When He sets His children free.
(cho)
Get ready, the Lord is comin'
Get ready, no time for runnin'
Get it together, and get it right
'Cause you never know, it could be tonight
Ow, ooh, yeah
Brothers and sisters
What do you believe?
You better stand for somethin' or you'll fall for anything
And His name is Jesus
Yeah, He is the king
Don't give Him half o' nothin'
Give him all of everything.
(hook)
Whole-hearted, totally committed
Tell me why you keep on trippin'
When there's life abundantly, yeah
Love Jesus 'cause the clock is tickin'
You don't know what you'll be missin'
When He sets all others free
Hee hee
