Saved By Love
Written by Amy Grant, Chris Smith,
and Justin Peters
Sung by Amy Grant
Laura loves her little family,
And she's the kind of woman who loves them with her life.
But sometimes in the evening,
When the world rests on her shoulders
With four walls closing in,
She'll close her eyes.
Oh....
It's not like she misses being younger,
Though she never was in Vogue magazine or on TV;
Her husband loves her dearly,
And the morning shows her clearly,
Kisses her little baby girl.
Laura, she's the queen of the world.
Can't imagine ever leaving now,
Now that she's been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love.
Listen to her quiet heart singing loud.
Laura, she's been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love.
I know that she's been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love.
Saved by love.
There's nothing quite like my family's love to warm me,
And nothing short of death's gonna ever leave me cold.
Well, still at times it's lonely,
But through it all it only
Makes me love Jesus more,
And this is what He came here for.
I can't imagine ever leaving now.
Now that I've been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love.
He's gone and turned my crazy world back around,
And I've been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love.
I know that I've been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love....
Oh, I'm never leaving now,
Now that I've been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love.
He's gone and turned my crazy world back around,
And I've been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love.
Amy, she's been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love....
Saved by love.
I'm saved by love.
That's right.
And nothing I can say,
Nothing I can do, nothing I can say.
We're all just saved by love.
Nothing you can say, nothing you can do.
Only love can say, only love can do,
Only love can say.
Only love can say, only love can do,
Only love can say.
I'm say-yay-yaved by,
I'm saved by, by,
Nothing you can do, nothing you can say,

My stubborn will at last has yielded
I would be Thine and Thine alone
And this a prayer, my lips are bringing
Lord, let in me Thy will be done
Sweet will of God, still fold me closer
'Til I am wholly lost in Thee
Sweet will of God, still fold me closer
'Til I am wholly lost in Thee
I am tired of sin, footsore and weary
The dark some path hath dreary grown
But now a light has risen to cheer me
I find in Thee my star, my sun
Sweet will of God, still fold me closer
'Til I am wholly lost in Thee
Sweet will of God, still fold me closer
'Til I am wholly lost in Thee
Thy precious will, O conquering Savior
Doth now embrace and compass me
The storms have ceased, my peace a river
My soul a prisoned bird set free
Sweet will of God, still fold me closer
'Til I am wholly lost in Thee
Sweet will of God, still fold me closer
'Til I am wholly lost in Thee
Sweet will of God, still fold me closer
We've got our little fingers workin' hard
On the trains and dolls and cars
Hurryin' ''cause Santa's a-waitin'
Soldiers marchin' out the door
Carryin' the toys galore
For Santa's reindeer ride
This is more than just another reindeer ride
Not a practice run in July
We've got to load up all the festive gear
Peace, and hope, and yuletide cheer
For Santa's reindeer ride
Polish the runners, shine Rudolph's nose
Tighten the harness, brush off the snow
We'd love to sing our little working songs,
Wish that we could tag along
Just to see the children's faces
Tonight the world is filled with joy,
Deeper than the games and toys
It's time to load up the sleigh.
Tonight the world is filled with joy,
Deeper than the games and toys
It's time to load up the sleigh. (It's time to load up the sleigh).
Hush now, my baby
Be still love, don't cry
Sleep like you're rocked by the stream
Sleep and remember
My lullaby
And I'll be with you when you dream
Drift on a river
That flows through my arms
Drift as I'm singing to you
I see you smiling
So peaceful and calm
And holding you, I'm smiling, too
Here in my arms
Safe from all harm
Holding you, I'm smiling, too
Hush now, my baby
Be still, love, don't cry
Sleep like you're rocked by the stream
Sleep and remember this river lullaby
And I'll be with you when you dream
Got a ticket coming home
Wish the officer had known
What a day today has been
Then I stumbled through the door
Dropping junk mail on the floor
When will this day end?
But then your letter caught my eye
Brought the hope in me to life
'Cause you know me very well
And I bet you wrote me
Just to tell me
In a little while
We'll be with the father
Can't you see him smile?
In a little while
We'll be home forever
In a while
We're just here to learn to love him
We'll be home in just a little while
Boy, that letter hit the spot
Made me think of all I've got
And all that waits for me
Guess I've known it all day long
Wonder where my thoughts went wrong
When will my heart believe?
Waking half way through the night
Reaching toward the lamp for light
Picking up the word I find
Here's another letter
To remind me
In a little while
We'll be with the father
Can't you see him smile?
In a little while
We'll be home forever
In a while
We're just here to learn to love him
We'll be home in just a little while
Days like these are just a test of our will
Will we walk or will we fall?
Well, I can almost see the top of the hill
And I believe it's worth it all
In a little while
We'll be with the father
Can't you see him smile?
In a little while
We'll be home forever
In a while
We're just here to learn to love him
We'll be home in just a little while
In a little while
We'll be with the father
Can't you see him smile?
In a little while
We'll be home forever
In a while
We're just here to learn to love him
We'll be home in just a little
In a little while
We'll be with the father
Can't you see him smile?
In a little while
We'll be home forever
In a while
We're just here to learn to love him
We'll be home in just a little
In a little while
We'll be with the father
Can't you see him smile?
In a little while
We'll be home forever
In a while
We're just here to learn to love him
We'll be home in just a little
In a little while
We'll be with the father
The sun goes up
The breakfast show
Can't you see me running?
It's crazy, don't you know?
(Don't you know, don't you know?)
The moon is high
I'm workin' through the night
Will somebody tell me
Where do all the hours go?
(I don't know)
Well, it don't stop
No, it's never gonna stop
Why do I have to wear
So many things on my head?
(Hats)
One day I'm a mother
One day I'm a lover
What am I supposed to do?
(Hats)
Working for a livin'
All because I'm driven
To be the very best for you
The water is hot
(So hot)
The phone don't stop
(Hello, good bye)
So how do I manage
To hold on to my sanity
(I don't know, baby, I don't know)
The red dress on
Time for having fun
(Time for having fun)
But can I really be
The girl you think you see me?
The spirit is willing
But the flesh is weak
Why do I have to wear
So many things on my head?
(Hats)
One day I'm a mother
(One day I'm a mother)
One day I'm a lover
(One day I'm a lover)
What am I supposed to do?
(Hats)
Working for a livin'
(Working for a livin')
All because I'm driven
(All because I'm driven)
To be the very best for you
(Hats)
One day I'm a mother
(One day I'm a mother)
One day I'm a lover
(One day I'm a lover)
What am I supposed to do?
(Hats)
Working for a livin'
All because I'm driven
To be the very best for you
This may be a dream come true
This may be poetry in motion
This may be a dream come true
But when it all comes down
It's an often lot to do
It don't stop no it's never gonna stop
Why do I have to wear
Thing on my head?
(Hats)
One day I'm a mother
(One day I'm a mother)
One day I'm a lover
(One day I'm a lover)
What am I supposed to do?
(Hats)
Working for a livin'
(Working for a livin')
All because I'm driven
(All because I'm driven)
To be the very best for you
(Hats)
One day I'm a mother
(One day I'm a mother)
One day I'm a lover
(One day I'm a lover)
What am I supposed to do?
(Hats)
Working for a livin'
All because I'm driven
To be the very best
Very best nah, nah, nah
(Nah, nah, nah)
(Hats)
What am I supposed to do?
(Hats)
Working for a livin'
(Working for a livin')
All because I'm driven
(All because I'm driven)
To be the very best
It don't stop
No, it's never gonna stop
Why do I have to wear?
Why to I have to wear?
(Hats)
One day I'm a mother
One day I'm a lover
What am I supposed to do?
(Hats)
Working for a livin'
Abide with me, fast falls the eventide
The darkness deepens, Lord, with me abide
When other helpers fail and comforts flee
Help of the helpless, O abide with me
I need Thy presence every passing hour
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be
Through the cloud and sunshine, O abide with me
Abide with me
Abide, abide with me
I fear no foe with Thee at hand to bless
Ills have no weight and tears no more bitterness
Where is death's sting? Where, grave, Thy victory?
I triumph still if Thou abide with me
Abide with me
Abide, abide with me
Abide with me
Abide, abide with me
Abide with me
Abide with me
Abide with me
Abide, abide with me
Abide, abide with me
Jingle bell, jingle bell
Jingle bell rock
Jingle bell swing
And jingle bells ring
Snowin' and blowin'
Up bushels of fun
Now the jingle hop has begun
Jingle bell, jingle bell
Jingle bell rock
Jingle bells chime in
Jingle bell time
Dancin' and prancin'
In jingle bell square
In the frosty air
What a bright time
It's the right time
To rock the night away
Jingle bell, time
Is a swell time
To go glidin' in a
One horse sleigh
Giddy-up, jingle horse
Pick up your feet
Jingle around the clock
Mix and mingle
In a jinglin' beat
Love, like a road that never ends
How it leads me back again
To heartache
I'll never understand
Darling, I put my heart up on a shelf
Til the moment was right, and I told myself
The next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do
The next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
It will be with you
Now, as I look into you eyes
Well I wonder if it's wise
To hold you like I've wanted to before
Tonight, I was thinking that you might
Be the one who breathes life in this heart of mine
Next time I fall in love
I know better what to do
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
It will be with you
Next time I'm gonna follow through
And if it drives me crazy
I will know better why
The next time I try
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love with you
Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing, or maybe we've stopped trying
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
It used to be so easy living here with you
You where light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you
But it's too late, baby, it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
Why don't we blow this town
Gas up that car of yours and put the pedal down
I want to own the open road
And have the kind of plans
You make up as you go
Cause you and me are one of a kind
You need your space and I need mine
And I am rich as any queen
And I' m not talking 'bout the money kind of thing
CHORUS:
I got you
And you got me
Some lucky fool's big ship came in
Yours got lost at sea
Me - I've got this funky little boat
And Baby you got me
Let's burn on through the night
Turn up the tunes until it feels just right
I need the cover of the dark
To loosen up my tongue to talk about my heart
To talk about this life
How fast we live, how soon we die
I don't believe it's a contest
Still, I think we made out better than the rest
Cause I got you
And you got me
You may not have the ace of spades
You may not hold the king
But somewhere in those cards you're dealt
Baby you got me
Hey now, I will be praying for you
Hey now, you're gonna pray for me
'Cause what we have been through together
Is changing us now, can change us forever
Hey now, I'm gonna pray for you
Hey now, you're gonna pray for me
And it's gonna be different, yeah
It's gonna be better, yeah
It's gonna be Jesus and all of us in this together
Hey now, I'm gonna pray for you
Hey now, you're gonna pray for me
'Cause what we have been through together
Is changing us now, can change us forever
Hey now, I'm gonna pray for you
Hey now, you're gonna pray for me
And it's gonna be different, yeah
It's gonna be better, yeah
It's gonna be Jesus and all of us in this together
Hey! Hey! Hey! Now
I'm gonna pray for you
Hey now, you're gonna pray for me
And it's gonna be different, yeah
It's gonna be better, yeah
It's gonna be Jesus and all of us in this together
Hey! Hey! Hey! Now, Hey now, Hey now...
Hey! Hey! Hey! Now
I'm gonna pray for you
Hey now, you're gonna pray for me
And it's gonna be different, yeah
It's gonna be better, yeah
It's gonna be Jesus and all of us in this together
Hey! Hey! Hey! Now, Hey now, Hey now...
Gentle Shepherd,
Show us the way
Keep us safe,
On the journey
Give us shelter,
When the day is done
Lead us out,
Out of the darkness
Open our eyes,
When the morning comes
Show us the sun
CHORUS 1
Gentle Shepherd,
Show us the way
Grant us mercy,
Hope for tomorrow, and
Strength for a day
Gentle Shepherd
Show us your grace
When we fall,
Lift us up Lord
When we wander,
Bring us home again
Give us love,
For one another
Show us your power,
Help us understand
Merciful friend
CHORUS 2
Gentle Shepherd,
Show us the way
Grant us mercy,
Hope for tomorrow, and
Strength for a day
Gentle Shepherd,
Show us your grace
Show us your face
Blessed Jesus,
Show us your face
After the fire is over
After the ashes cool
After the smoke is blown away
I will be is for you
After the stillness finds you
After the winds of change
All that is good and true between us
This will remain the same
Slowly, slowly
We turn the pages of life
Growing, knowing
It comes at quite a price
After the fire is over
After the ashes cool
After the smoke is blown away
I will be here for you
After your time of wondering
Along this lonely road
There will be many voices calling
Mine will say welcome home
Slowly, slowly
We turn the pages of life
Growing, knowing
It comes at quite a price
After the fire is over
After the ash is cool
After the smoke is blown away
I will be here for you
Duet with Fernando Ortega
Words by Joseph Hart, Music: Traditional American Melody
Come, ye sinners, poor and needy
Weak and wounded, sick and sore
Jesus ready, stands to save you
Full of pity, love and power
I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in His arms
In the arms of my dear Savior,
O, there are ten thousand charms
Come, ye thirsty, come and welcome
God's free bounty glorify
True belief and true repentance
Every grace that brings you nigh
Come, ye weary, heavy-laden
Lost and ruined by the fall
If you tarry 'til you're better
You will never come at all
I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in His arms
In the arms of my dear Savior,
O, there are ten thousand charms
See Him Prostate in the garden
On the ground your Maker lies
On the bloody tree, behold him
Sinner, will this not suffice?"
Lo! the incarnate God ascended
Pleads the merit of his blood
Venture on him, venture wholly
Let no other trust intrude
I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in His arms
In the arms of my dear Savior,
O, there are ten thousand charms
In my mind I see two childhood friends, weathering the changes that time
inevitably brings. Change is hard. Especially when it includes your
heart. I know.

I Love You
Words & Music by Amy Grant, Michael W.
Smith, and Dan Huff
Sung by Amy Grant
You were pretty crazy,
Back when we fell in love.
Wanting to be everything,
That I would be proud of.
Hours we spent dreaming,
How we'd beat the odds.
Now the truth has hit us.
Life is very hard.
Life can be so hard.
I love you.
Deeper than I ever dreamed of,
I need you. (I need you.)
Staying here till we can work it out,
I want you.
Knowing that through all the changes,
I love you. (I love you.)
Somehow I just had to tell you now...yeah....
Oh, to stay your princess,
If I only could.
If you never saw the rotten;
Only saw the good.
You'd still be Prince Charming,
But we would never know,
How it's in the darkest times,
True love finally grows.
Come on true love grow.
I love you.
Deeper than I ever dreamed of,
I need you. (I need you.)
Staying here till we can work it out,
I want you.
Knowing that through all the changes,
I love you. (I love you.)
Somehow I just had to tell you now.
You got me, I got you.
Sometimes it takes a little working through,
But I can tell you now....
I love you.
Deeper than I ever dreamed of,
I need you. (I need you.)
Staying here till we can work it out,
I want you.
Knowing that through all the changes,
I love you. (I love you.)
Somehow I just had to tell you,
I love you.
Deeper than I ever dreamed of,
I need you. (I need you.)
Staying here till we can work it out,
I want you.
Knowing that through all the changes,
I love you. (I love you.)
Somehow I just had to tell you.
(I need you.)
(I love you.)
Who can say why she turned and walked away
I can't see but she's gone away
Sometimes love means we have to stand and fight
And everybody runs, everybody hides
No this ain't the movies
Now it's flesh and blood
And this one thing I'm sure of
Hey you little girl running out so fast
Gotta stay put for love to last
Why you gotta say
That love has gone away
It's not like that
Everybody hurts when the feelings fade
If you want 'em back you know you gotta stay
No running and loves coming back
Like only love can do
Love can do things you never thought it could
Mend a hurt so bad, make you feel so good
Loves for fools, wise enough to take a chance
Hear the music girl, let me see you dance
No, this ain't the movies
Now it's give and take
And it's your heart at stake
Hey you little girl running out so fast
Gotta stay put for love to last
Why you gotta say
That love has gone away
It's not like that
Everybody hurts when the feelings fade
If you want 'em back you know you gotta stay
No running, and loves coming back
Like only love can do
Get outta my yard
Hey you little girl running out so fast
Yeah, yeah looking for the love you're sure will last
Why do you have to say it?
Love has gone away, it's not like that
Loves not like that
Everybody hurts when the feelings fade
If you want 'em back you know you gotta stay
No running, and loves coming back
Like only love can do
Hey you little girl running out so fast
Gotta stay put for love to last
Why you gotta say
That love has gone away
It's not like that
Everybody hurts when the feelings fade
If you want 'em back you know you gotta stay
No running, and loves coming back
Hey you little girl running out so fast
Gotta stay put for love to last
Why you gotta say
That love has gone away
It's not like that, no
Everybody hurts when the feelings fade
If you want 'em back you know you gotta stay
No running, for loves coming back
No longer what we were before, but not all that we will be
Tomorrow when we lock the door on all our compromising
When He appears, He'll draw us near
And we'll be changed by His glory
Wrapped up in His glory
We will be like Him
For we shall see Him as He is
No longer what we saw before, but not all that we will see
Tomorrow when we lock the door on all our disbelieving
When He appears, our view will clear
And we'll be changed by His glory
Wrapped up in His glory
But I'm caught in between the now and the not yet
Sometimes it feels like forever and ever
That I've been reaching to be all that I am
But I'm only a few steps nearer
Yet I'm nearer
No longer what we were before, but not all that we will be
Tomorrow when we lock the door on all our compromising
And He appears, He'll draw us near
And we'll be changed by His glory
Wrapped up in His glory
When He appears, He'll draw us near
And we'll be changed by His glory
Wrapped up in His glory
Day by day, dream by dream I fight to find the way to go
Every day opens a different door
Every dream shadows the one before
But slowly I can see the way you've made for me
Straight ahead, I can see your light
Straight ahead, through the dark
Straight ahead, there's no left or right
Straight ahead, to your heart
Carry on through the night when the road is hard to find
Lying lights tell me to turn around
Lying thoughts tell me I'm lost not found
But clearly I can see you're waiting there for me
Straight ahead, I can see your light
Straight ahead, through the dark
Straight ahead, there's no left or right
Straight ahead, to your heart
Straight ahead
(Straight ahead)
Straight ahead
(Straight ahead)
Straight ahead
(Straight ahead)
Straight ahead
(Straight ahead)
Straight ahead, I can see your light
(Straight ahead)
Straight ahead, through the dark
Straight ahead, there's no left or right
Straight ahead, to your heart
Day turns to night, and I turn into bed
Can't get to sleep; somethings in my head
Pacing the floor, I try to force a rhyme
Why do I fear this time?
It's not a song till it touches your heart
It's not a song till it tears you apart
After what's left of what's right and what's wrong
Till it gets through to you, it's not a song
Now close your eyes, look into your hand
What do you see?
Life is our song, to give and learn to take
Time will not wait
Oh, won't you please come dance
While the song's still playing
Won't be long till the silence falls
It's not a song till it touches your heart
It's not a song till it tears you apart
After what's left of what's right and what's wrong
Till it gets through to you, it's not a song
First Love
Amy Grant
You are my first love,
Sweet and gentle as the night.
Just being near you now,
Is like a lullaby.
All that I have I give away to follow you,
I can't imagine having life without you, oh....
When all thesee worldly battles,
Seem to never cease,
You simply lift me up,
And rest me in Your peace.
I heard some people say, You're only in my mind.
I hope that someday, You'll choose to find them.
All other loves will slowly fade,
Like dying flame.
Tomorrow, now, and yesterday,
You're still the same.
I wake with a longing heart to see you come again;
It must have happened sometime in the night
No one saw the stone be rolled away
When the grave saw morning light
The skeptics and friends all had to say
It's a miracle, it's a miracle
It's a miracle happened today
It's a miracle, it's a miracle
He took the stone and He rolled it away
My soul is like a tomb in constant night
Till one day the stone was rolled away
Then my heart saw morning light
And no one alive can explain it away
It's a miracle, it's a miracle
It's a miracle happened today
It's a miracle, it's a miracle
He took the stone and He rolled it away
Now, now won't you see
What I'm trying to say?
If you believe, it could happen today
It's a miracle, it's a miracle
It's a miracle happened today
It's a miracle, it's a miracle
He took the stone and He rolled it away
It's a miracle, what a miracle
It's a miracle happened today
It's a miracle, what a miracle
He took the stone and He rolled it away
(It's a miracle)
You know it's really a miracle
A miracle, a miracle
(It's a miracle)
You know it's really a miracle
He took the stone and He rolled it away
(It's a miracle)
You know it's really a miracle
A miracle, a miracle
(It's a miracle)
You know it's really a miracle
Fairytale, my life was just a fairytale
I was letting an illusion
Come into this heart of mine
Fairytale, searchin' for a fairytale
Hiding in a world
Where life was simple all the time
I was just like Peter Pan in Never Never Land
Afraid of what the future might be
Afraid to face the things I couldn't understand
Afraid of things that I couldn't see
But fantasy, I know
There's more to life than a fantasy
There's so much more
That my life was meant to be
So much more than make-believe
Fairytale, it seems just like fairytale
But there's something in my hear
That says this time the story's real
Fairytale, extraordinary tale
Of a King who offers love
So far beyond what I can feel
There's a world out there
That human eyes can never see
But it's just within the reach of the heart
Two princes wages the battle for eternity
But the Victor has been known from the start
Now I can see the truth
Can seem so much like a fantasy
But make-believe was never as real to me
I know this time the story's true
Just like Sleeping Beauty in a Neverland
I was dying under a spell
But then a Prince who comes from the Foreverland
Praise to God whose love was shown
Who sent his Son to earth
Jesus left his rightful throne
Became a man by birth
The virgin's baby son
All creation praised Him
God incarnate come
Come to Bethlehem
Still a higher call had He
Deliverance from our sins
Come to set all people free
From Satan's hold within
For by the sin of man, we fell
By the Son of God
He crushed the power of Hell
Death we fear no more
Now we stand with strength, with power
The sons of God on earth
Faithful to the final hour
Christ's righteousness our worth
And now all praise is given
For the babe, the Son
The Savior King is risen
Christ is Lord indeed
For the babe, the Son
The Savior King is risen
It's a cold, cold world
That we walk in through
Lay down the burden of your heart
But it's warm as toast
Walking two by two
Lay down the burden of your heart
Lay down the burden of your heart
I know you'll never miss it
Show your daddy where it hurts
And let your daddy lift it
It's a fine, fine line
Betwixt love and hate
Why, it's tough to tell the two apart
But you know it's love
That he offers you
Lay down the burden of your heart
Lay down the burden of your heart
I know you'll never miss it
Show your daddy where it hurts
And let your daddy lift it
Lay down the burden of your heart
I know you'll never miss it
Show your daddy where it hurts
And let your daddy lift it
Show your daddy where it hurts
Angel we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plain
And the mountains in reply
Echoing their joyous strain
Gloria
In excellsis deo
Gloria
In excellsis deo
Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ, the Lord, the newborn King
Gloria
In excellsis deo
Gloria
In excellsis deo
Gloria
In excellsis deo
My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine;
For Thee all the follies of sin I resign.
My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
I love Thee because Thou has first loved me,
And purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree.
I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.
In mansions of glory and endless delight,
I'll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright;
I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow;
Always the winner, baby
You're always the center, baby
But don't you ever get lonely at night
When the clouds have gone away
It's always
You're showing her the lady
Always the lady
You're full of
Yourself, you know
Gone crazy
There was a time when you cared for their hearts
And the need to show them love was tearing you apart
But you changed, you know
Become the star of the show
Now you've got nothing to give
Where is the truth you once lived
You're just lonely
Don't you feel lonely
Turn out the spotlight, I'm tired, turn out the spotlight
My mind will die, lord, I'm crying
Oh, I'm to turn my gaze back, lord, to you
You're the only one who knows me
What a Friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bare!
What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer!
And I'll cherish the old rugged cross
Til' my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to Thee,
How great Thou Art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee,
How great Thou art, how great Thou Art!
Lord, You know it's been a busy day.
And I'm just weary to my bones
I hope You'll understand if I don't pray
But I need my rest to carry on.
Why do I kid myself, You see my heart
The me I try so to ignore.
And Lord You know how very weak i am
I just can't hide it any more.
Chorus:
All of a sudden I knew
That I'd never be wanting
as long as I'm leaning on You.
Oh Lord, all that I need is You.
Everytime when the doubting comes And I seem to lose my way,
When I cry within 'cause I need a friend
But I just don't say You know that I need You.
All at once it's clear, even though You're here
I've tried to make it on my own. I'm not trusting You.
Lord, you know that I really need our time together.
Only your strength can see me through
So talk with me now As You walk with me now in this quiet time
I'm waiting on You Cause...
What About the Love?

Sung by Amy Grant
I went to see my sister.
She was staying with a friend
Who had turned into a preacher
To save the world from sin.
He said, "First deny your body,
And then learn to submit.
Pray to be made worthy,
And tithe your ten percent."
I said, "Is this all there is,
Just the letter of the law?"
Something's wrong.
I went to see my brother
On the 32nd floor
Of a building down on Wall Street;
You could hear the future's roar.
He said, "Here we make decisions,
And we trade commodities;
If you tell me where there's famine,
I can make you guarantees."
I said, "Is this all there is,
Power to the strong?"
Something's wrong.
Something's wrong in heaven tonight.
You can almost hear them cry.
Angels to the left and the right,
Saying, "What about the love?
What about the love?
What about the love?"
I went to see my neighbor.
He'd been taken to a home
For the weak and the discarded
Who have no place to go.
He said, "Here I lack for nothing;
I am fed and I am clothed.
But at times I miss the freedom
I used to know."
I said, "Is this all there is,
When your usefulness is gone?"
Something's wrong.
Something's wrong in heaven tonight. (Something's wrong.)
You can almost hear them cry. (Cry.)
Angels to the left and the right,
Saying, "What about the love?
What about the love?
What about the love?"
(Yeah, yeah, yeah....)
(Yeah.)
(Yeah.)
I looked into the mirror, (Yeah.)
Proud as I could be, (Yeah.)
And I saw my pointing finger (Yeah.)
Pointing back at me,
Saying, "Who named you accuser? (Yeah.)
Who gave you the scales?" (Yeah.)
I hung my head in sorrow; (Yeah.)
I could almost feel the nails.
I said, "This is how it is
To be crucified and judged
Without love."
Something's wrong in heaven tonight. (Something's wrong.)
You can almost hear them cry. (Cry.)
Angels to the left and the right,
Saying, "What about the love?
What about the love?
What about the love of God?"
Something's wrong in heaven tonight. (Something's wrong.)
You can almost hear them cry. (Cry.)
Angels to the left and the right,
Saying, "What about the love?"
What about the love?
What about the love of God?"
Something's wrong in heaven tonight. (Something's wrong.)
You can almost hear them cry. (Cry.)
Angels to the left and the right,
Saying, "What about the love?
What about the love?
Come, Thou Fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing Thy grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me, ever to adore Thee
May I still Thine goodness prove
While the hope of endless glory
Fills my heart with joy and love
Oh, to Grace, how great a debtor
Daily I'm constrained to be
Let Thy goodness like a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to Thee
Never let me wander from Thee
Never leave Thee, God I love
Here's my heart, take and seal it
Seal it for Thy courts above
Never let me wander from Thee
Never leave Thee, God I love
Here's my heart, take and seal it
Do you remember the time your heart was moved to tears?
Can you look back on the moment after all these years?
On the moment love broke through and Heaven seemed so near
Do you remember the time your heart was moved to tears?
Do you remember the day you first let Jesus in?
How He gently and tenderly washed away your sin
Don't you know that He still cares the way He did back then?
You remember the day you first let Jesus in?
Keep holding on never letting go
We're not far from the end of the road
Keep holding on never letting go
We're not far from the end of the road
In a moment love broke through and Heaven seemed so near
Do you remember the moment your heart was moved to tears?
I will be walking one day
Down a street far away
And see a face in a crowd and smile
Knowing how you made me laugh
Hearing sweet echoes of you from the past
I will remember you
Look in my eyes while you're near
Tell me what's happening here
See that I don't want to say, good-bye
Our love is frozen in time
I'll be your champion and you will be mine
I will remember
I will remember you
Later on, when this fire is an ember
Later on, when the night's not so tender
Given time, though it's hard to remember darlin'
I will be holding, I'll still be holding to you
I will remember you
So many years come and gone
And yet the memory is strong
One word we never could learn, good-bye
True love is frozen in time
I'll be your champion and you'll be mine
I will remember you
So please remember
I will remember you
I will remember you
I will remember you

Written by Amy Grant, Gary Chapman,

We were young,
And none of us know quite what to say,
But the feeling moved
Among us in silence anyway.
Slowly we had made
Quite a change--
Somewhere we had crossed a big line.
Down upon our knees,
We had tasted holy wine,
And no one could sway us
In a life time.
Purer than the sky,
Behind the rain.
Falling down all around us,
Calling out from a boundless love.
Love had lit a fire;
We were the flame.
Burning into the darkness,
Shining out from inside us.
Not a word.
And no one had to say we were changed.
Nothing else we lived through
Would ever be same the same,
Knowing the truth
That we had gained.
Purer than the sky,
Behind the rain.
Falling down all around us,
Calling out from a boundless love.
Love had lit a fire;
We were the flame.
Burning into the darkness,
Shining out from inside us.
Stay with me.
Make it ever new,
So time will not undo,
As the years go by,
How I need to see
That's still me.
Falling down all around us,
Calling out from a boundless love.
Yeah....
Burning into the darkness,
Shining out from inside us.
Purer than the sky,
Behind the rain.
Falling down all around us,
Calling out from a boundless love.
Love has lit a fire;
I am the flame.
Burning into the darkness,
Shining out from inside us.
Purer than the sky,
Behind the rain.
Falling down all around us,
Calling out from a boundless love. (Ohh....)
Love has lit a fire;
I am the flame.
Burning into the darkness,
Shining out from inside us.
Purer than the sky,
Behind the rain.
Falling down all around us,
(A one...two three four.)
Someone's got to keep it on going,
Just as long as they're folks who haven't heard.
So you can count on me, 'cause He's showing
There's so many ways to spread His Word.
Don't you know that
Someone's got to keep it on going, (keep it going)
Just as long as they're folks who haven't heard.
So you can count on me, 'cause He's showing
There's so many ways to spread His Word.
Don't you really know that
Someone's got to keep it on going, (sooooomeone!) (keep it going)
Just as long as they're folks who haven't heard.
So you can count on me, 'cause He's showing
There's so many ways to spread His Word.
Got to listen to me,
Someone's got to keep it on going, (sooooomeone!) (keep it going)
Just as long as they're folks who haven't heard.
So you can count on me, 'cause He's showing
There's so many ways to spread His Word.
Yeah.
But there are so many
Who don't know the reason
Their lives are wasting away
Just souls without purpose
They wonder in darkness
Without a thought for the day
Well, I'm no savior
I'm just a window
Through which your sweet love light can shine
So clean out the corners of my darkened pane
And fill me with your love again
Fill me with your love again
Fill me with your love again
I open my heart and soul for you to enter me
And fill me with your love again
Fill me with your love again
Fill me with your love again
I open my heart and soul for you to enter me
And fill me with your love again
I open my heart and soul for you to enter me
When I think of all of the things He's doin' for me
It makes me stand in wonder at what He's making me to be
Tryin' to walk through straight but getting turned around
Always makin' my Master take a backseat and wait around
But I praise the Lord for giving me
A brand new start each day
And I praise His blessed name
For guiding me all along the way
If He didn't, I wouldn't even try
Well maybe you can't see a change
You know these things can take time
But now that I've found Jesus
Well He's given me peace of mind
Now every day's just a chance
To grow closer to Him
I may not win all the battles
But it's a victory in Him
So I praise the Lord for giving me
A brand new start each day
And I praise His blessed name
For guiding me all along the way
All of my friends are happy to stay
Here in this yard day after day
But something inside me has called me away
I don't understand but I know I can't stay
I'm gonna fly, no one knows where
But I'm gonna fly, I'm lighter than air
'Cause I have felt for the first time, I can be myself
No more faces to hide behind
Just a smile and a dream that's mine
And even if I am the only one who wants to fly
I'm gonna fly, no one knows where
But I'm gonna fly, I soar through the air
'Cause all my life seems I've waited for the time to start
Being the person inside of me unafraid of being me
No more faces to hide behind
Just a smile and a dream that's mine
And even if I'm the only one who wants to fly
If I had my life to live over again
I'd run bare foot, relax a bit more
And I'd talk to more children
And I'd learn how they laugh
And I'd teach them how I've learned to fly
I'm gonna fly, no one knows where
But I'm gonna fly, I'm lighter than air
I'm gonna fly, no one knows where
But I'm gonna fly, I soar through the air
'Cause all my life seems I've waited for the time to start
Being this person inside of me unafraid of being me
Even if I'm the only one who wants to fly
Giggle, giggle if you want to
But I know it's still true
That He's always gonna love me
So just laugh out, if you think, I'm uncool
Playin' the part of the fool
'Cause I love Him
Don't you know how I love Him?
Oh, well, I do
When I see somebody cryin'
Some person who's real mean
I want to quickly walk right by Him
But I'll stop for You
Dear Lord, but
Must I hug him real tight now?
He smells so bad, I'll faint
What will my friends think if they see me kill my pride, I can't
Well, giggle, giggle if you want to
But I know it's still true
That He's always gonna love me
So just laugh out, if you think, I'm uncool
Playin' the part of the fool
'Cause I love Him
Don't you know how I love Him?
Oh, well, I do
When I'm in a sticky situation
Sitting in a class at school
Everyone is talkin' evolution
No one talks of You
My hand goes up
I don't want to be too pushy
My arm, it feels like lead
But there's such a joy they're missing sayin', "God is dead"
Well, giggle, giggle if you want to
But I know it's still true
That He's always gonna love me
So just laugh out, if you think, I'm uncool
Always playin' the part of the fool
'Cause I love Him
Don't you know how I love Him?
Alleluia, Alleluia
For our Lord God Almighty reigns
Alleluia, Alleluia
For our Lord God Almighty reigns
Alleluia
Holy Holy
Are You Lord God Almighty
Worthy is the Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb
You are Holy , Holy
Are You Lord God Almighty
Worthy is the Lamb
Are you far away from home, this dark and lonely night?
Tell me what best would help to ease your mind
Someone to give direction for this unfamiliar road
Or one who says, "Follow me and I will lead you home"?
How beautiful, how precious the Savior of all
To love so completely, the loneliest soul
How gently, how tenderly He says to one and all
"Child, you can follow me and I will lead you home
Trust me and follow me and I will lead you home"
Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask Thee to stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray
Bless all the dear children in Thy tender care
And take us to heaven to live with Thee there

Every life, every beating heart
Has a searching soul inside
Ever needing, ever seeking out
The meaning to life
I refuse to believe
That we're only here to live and die
In the futile days of a faithless haze
Never asking why, why would I
When I've felt the hand of eternity
It's a legacy I will leave, I want to leave
For the children of the world
Every single little boy and girl
Heaven plants a special seed
And we must have faith for these
I will stand for the truth I've seen
So the truth is seen in me
I will give from the source of love
So all that I believe is handed down
For the road that's yet to be traveled on
By the ones who will carry on, I'll carry on
For the children of the world
Every single little boy and girl
Heaven plants a special seed
And we must have faith for these
Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in the Father's eyes
Like the Father may we see that they have a destiny
And give them the light of love to lead
Through the darkness around us now
To a place where hope is found
For the children of the world
Every single little boy and girl
Heaven plants a special seed
And we must have faith for these
Red and yellow, black and white
They are precious in the Father's eyes
Like the Father may we see that they have a destiny
And give them the light of love to lead
For the children of the world
Every single little boy and girl
Heaven plants a special seed
And we must have faith for these
Red and yellow, black and white

They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a botique, and a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
They took all the trees and put 'em in a tree museum
And then they charged all the people
twenty-five bucks just to see 'em
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey farmer, farmer, put away your DDT now
Give me spots on my apples
but leave me the birds and the bees, please
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Late last night I heard the screen door slam
And a big yellow taxi carried off my old man
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got till it's gone
They paved paradise and put up a parking lot
Hey, they steamrolled paradise... for a parking lot
I'm dreaming tonight of a place I love
Even more than I usually do
And although I know
It's a long road back, I promise you
I'll be home for Christmas
You can count on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents under the tree
Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams
Christmas eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
Rocking around the christmas tree at the christmas party hop
Mistletoe hung where you can see every couple tries to stop
Rocking around the christmas tree, let the christmas spirit ring
Later we'll have some pumpkin pie and we'll do some caroling
You will get a sentimental feeling when you hear
Voices singing let's be jolly, deck the halls with boughs of holly
Rocking around the christmas tree, have a happy holiday
Everyone dancing merrily in the new old-fashioned way
