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,
Jerry McPherson
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

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

I have traveled many moonless nights
Cold and weary with a babe inside
And I wonder what I've done
Holy Father you have come
And chosen me now
To carry your son
I am waiting in a silent prayer
I am frightened by the load I bear
In a world as cold as stone
Must I walk this path alone
Be with me now
Be with me now
[Chorus:]
Breath of heaven
Hold me together
Be forever near me
Breath of heaven
Breath of heaven
Lighten my darkness
Pour over me your holiness
For you are holy
Breath of heaven
Do you wonder as you watch my face
If a wiser one should have had my place
But I offer all I am
For the mercy of your plan
Help me be strong
Help me be
Help me
[Chorus 2x]
We dim the light.
We stoke the fire.
We breathe the evergreen.
Young ones wait
While the old ones make up
Tales of how it used to be.
China dolls,
Candy corn,
Painted wooden toys,
Treasures found
To the wondrous sound
Of carolling the savior
Born to us on christmas morn.
Emmanuel, God with us,
Emmanuel!
Emmanuel, God with us,
The son of israel.
And still he calls
Through the night,
Beyond the days of old.
A voice of peace
To the weary ones,
Who struggle with the human soul.
All of us,
Travellers,
Through a given time.
Who can know
What tomorrow holds?
But over the horizon,
Surely you and I will find.
Emmanuel, God with us,
Emmanuel!
Emmanuel, God with us,
The son of israel.
And the years they come,
And the years they go,
Though we may forget somehow
That the child once born in bethlehem
Is still among us now.
(emmanuel....)
(emmanuel, God with us.
The son of israel.)
Emmanuel, God with us,(emmanuel.)
Emmanuel!(emmanuel.)
Emmanuel, God with us,(emmanuel.)
The son of israel.(israel.)
The son of israel.

I've got my hope set high
That's why I came tonight
I need to see the truth
I need to see the light.
I've got my hope set high
That's why I came tonight
I need to see the truth
I need to see the light
And I can do my best
And pray to the Father
But the one thing I ought to know by now
When it all comes down
When it all comes down
If there's anything good that happens in life
It's from Jesus.
You know that when it all comes down
When it all comes down
If there's anything good that happens in life
It's from Jesus.
I've got my hope set high
And like a star at night
Out of the deepest dark
It shines the purest light.
I've got my hope set high
Beyond the wrong and right
I need to see the truth
I need to see the light.
Cause I can do my best
And pray to the Father
But the one thing I ought to know by now
When it all comes down
When it all comes down
If there's anything good that happens in life
It's from Jesus.
I'll tell you when it all comes down
When it all comes down
If there's anything good that happens in life
It's from Jesus.

Your smile lights up a room
Like a candle in the dark
It warms me through and through
And I guess that I had dreamed
We would never be apart
But that dream did not come true
Chorus:
Missing you is just a part of living
And missing you feels like a way of life
I'm living out the life that I've been given
But baby I still wish you were mine
And I cannot hear the telephone
Jangle on the wall
And not feel a hopeful thrill
And I cannot help but smile
At any new of you at all
And I guess I always will
'Cause
(Repeat Chorus)
Hey, yeah
(Repeat Chorus)
I'm living out the life that I've been given
I took a drive along the west bank of the shore
I thought of what you said and then I thought some more
You say your life is all but chiseled out in stone
And all you want is just a taste of the unknown
Think it was yesterday I called you on the phone
You say you need a change, I recognized the tone
Buy me a ticket please, to anywhere I'll go
I'm not saying what is right or what is wrong
I'm just thinking you've been hanging here too long
So why don't we just up and leave it all behind?
Maybe a change would ease your mind
For a time
Leave it all behind
What I really want to do is see you smile
Hear you talk and let me listen for a while
There's too much goin' on to keep it all inside
You try to whisper but you start to scream and shout
What you need is just a place to let it out
So why don't we just up and leave it all behind?
Maybe a change would ease your mind for a time
(Time)
We will see if there's a place that we can go
Someplace that no one else will know how to find
(Find)
Leave it all behind
(Tu tu too, tu tu too)
Try to whisper but you start to scream and shout
(Start to scream and shout)
(Start to scream and shout)
What you need is just a place to let it out
(Let it out)
So why don't we just up and leave it all behind?
Maybe a change would ease your mind for a time
(Time)
We will see if there's a place that we can go
Someplace that no one else will know how to find
Oh Lord, how many are Thy works
In wisdom Thou hast made them all
The earth is full of Thy possessions
There is the sea great and broad
In which are swarms without number
Animals both great and small
Oh Lord, Thou hast made them all
In which are swarms without number
Animals both great and small
Who knew love would come walking thru' my door
Turn a light on somewhere down inside
And give me a feeling I'd never had before
It was a long wait
It was just the wrong time
But I hope you'll hold me now
Somewhere within
And when you think about
What might have been
Cry a river
Flood the sea
Cry a river over me
Take the bitter
With the sweet
And cry a river over me
How can you argue with a feeling in your bones
'bout what is and what isn't meant to be
Some things you live with
But you never let it show
Like the pain I felt
The day I watched you leave
But I hope you'll think of me
When tender winds blow
Sit on the shores of love
And just let it go
Written by Amy Grant & Wayne Kirkpatrick
There was this guy, he was down on his luck
He was truly poverty's child
Well, he had no home and he had no car
And he wore a weary smile
Moved out to L.A., knocked around for a while
But he was going nowhere
Then he did this movie and it did really well
Now he's a millionaire
You see life is a curious thing, yeah
You see life, ooh life, is a curious thing
I know a man who could paint the town red
Had a college degree in fun
'Til the doorbell rang and a long lost flame said
"This little boy is your son"
Gave him a suitcase and a bear
And left them in a cloud of dust
Now he's checking out schools and driving car pools
Learning to adjust
He says,
Chorus:
Life is a curious thing, yea
You see life, ooh life is a curious thing
Well I know that it can be demanding
I know that it can be unkind
I don't really understand it
But, Lord sure knows I try
See life is a curious thing, yea
I said life, ooh life, is a curious thing
Let me tell you 'bout a kid I knew
A pudgy girl back in school
She had greasy hair and geeky glasses
The object of ridicule
The other day in the check out line
They were ringing up my rice and beans
There she was just a pretty little face
On the cover of a magazine
Hmm, and I said
(Repeat Chorus)
Just goes to show that you never know
Just what tomorrow may bring
But I'll tell you this that what it is
Is seldom what it seems
'Cause life is a curious thing, yea
I said life, ooh life is a curious thing
I said life is a curious thing
Some people always know the right thing to say
I don't really think I was born that way
And with the gift of charm, they're well endowed
I love to watch them float right through a crowd
I used to think it took a giggly girl
To win some fame in this mixed around world
But I know better now
One day I met a man who showed me love
There standing on His head was a snow white dove
And He said,"Once I came down to this mire for you
But I'm the Son of God, He's your Father too"
It wasn't long before my new walk began
Since I found Jesus, my life is in His hands
Now I have life, no one can take it from me
And I've a home above I'm waiting to see
There're many rooms in the House of the Lord
Why don't you come along and bring someone more?
I used to think it took a giggly girl
To win some fame in this mixed around world
But I know better now
I know better now, I know better now
I know better now, I know better now
I know better now, I know better now
I know better now
I know, I know, I know
He gave me a new song
He really came down here
Himself and sang it for me
In every key
Just for me he gave me a new light,
Now even when clouds hide the sun my life is still bright
'Cause everything's alright
He gave me a new song
He really came down here
Himself and sang it for me
In every key
Just for me
He gave me a love song
Yes it's the first real love song given to me
Father, blessed Father it's morning again
I give You Father, myself Father continue Your plan
I know together we can climb mountains in the sky
No one can stop us when I'm standing by Your side
When trouble's knocking here again
I'll tell him Jesus has me by his hand He'll walk me through
Father, loving Father create in me
A pure love, Father, Your love, Father instill it in me
I remember the nights I've cried for You
Now I only have to die for You
Thank You, Lord, You've made it clear just for me
I see the light it's burning out the night, oh, Father it's morning
Morning, morning, morning, morning
Morning, morning, morning, morning
Morning, morning, morning, morning
I am a small and lonely grape
Clutching to the vine
Waiting for the day when I'll become my Savior's wine
Oh, wouldn't French cuisine just yearn it
I've eternity to ferment
But knowing me I'd end up ripple
In a cellar of cheblis
Are you a small and lonely grape
Clutching to the vine
Waiting for the day when you'll become your Savior's wine?
Don't give up hope ye heavy laden
You don't want to be a raisin
There's a grape, grape joy in Jesus
All my life-time plans
I got 'em in my hands
Balancing my fate upon a wire
Got to let it go
Everywhere I turn I see
There's nowhere left to go
All my dreams are far
Too much for me to hold
Still I hate to drop them
Weren't they from you?
What did I do?
You are the one that can see
Into the heart of me
Am I really giving up tomorrow?
Got, got, got to let it go
This is gonna hurt a little
Still it's right I know
(Got to let it)
Even though I fear
Too much of me might show
I can't wait any longer for it
I've had enough
I'll give it up
Lord, here's my heart
I've been keeping it from you
And I got to let it go
Holding on just breaks me, worry
Got to let it go
Come and take it from me, hurry
Got to let it go
(Go to let it go)
Got to let it go
Got to give up all of my control
Holding on too tight
Where do I lose sight?
Where's the lamb that seems to bring for frustration
Go to let it go
The best of dreams can turn to nightmares
When my heart takes hold
How long must I learn?
This lesson's getting old
I've got to catch a clearer vision
I'm in your hands
You're in command
Lord, here's my heart
I've been keeping it from you
And I got to let it go
Got to let it go
Got to let it go
Got to let it go
Lord, here's my heart
(Here's my heart, here's my heart)
I've been keeping it from you
(Keeping it, keeping it)
And I got to let it go
Holding on just breaks me, worry
Got to let it go
Come and take it from me, hurry
Got to let it go
Oh, I've got to let it go
Got to give up all of my control
Lord, here's my heart
(Here's my heart, here's my heart, here's my heart)
I've been keeping it from you
(Keeping it, keeping it)
And I got to let it go
Holding on just breaks me, worry
Got to let it go
Come and take it from me, hurry
Got to let it go
Oh, I've got to let it go
Got to give up all of my control
Lord, here's my heart
(Here's my heart, here's my heart, here's my heart)
I've been keeping it from you
(Keeping it, keeping it)
And I got to let it go
Holding on just breaks me, worry
Got to let it go
Come and take it from me, hurry
Got to let it go
Oh, I've got to let it go
Tell me, does your head keep turnin'
From the feelings churnin' deep inside of you
Tell me, when your mind is racin'
Are the things you're chasin' worth your while
Well, tell me, don't you ever question
Why you're always guessing reasons for your life
Listen, there's no need to waiver
Long ago the Savior died for you, so
Don't run away you're headed nowhere
Keep up the pace you're gonna go there
You'll fell alone who do you know there
Please turn back now
Don't run away, He wants your heart now
Hear what I say and play it smart now
Wise up today and give Him all of your love
Tell me, does the fear of losin'
Keep your heart from choosin' who has hold of you
Tell me, have you felt a yearnin'
Deep inside a burnin' need for love now
Tell me, can you sense the fightin'
Hate is now igniting fear of love in you
Listen, God is still here waitin'
He'll remove the hating part of you, so
Don't run away you're headed nowhere
Keep up the pace you're gonna go there
You'll fell alone who do you know there
Please turn back now
Don't run away, He wants your heart now
Hear what I say and play it smart now
Wise up today and give Him all of your love
Don't run away you're headed nowhere
Keep up the pace you're gonna go there
You'll fell alone who do you know there
Please turn back now
Don't run away, He wants your heart now
Hear what I say and play it smart now
Wise up today and give Him all of your love
Don't run away you're headed nowhere
Keep up the pace you're gonna go there
You'll fell alone who do you know there
Please turn back now
Don't run away, He wants your heart now
Hear what I say and play it smart now
Lord, I'm really glad you're here
I hope you feel the same when you see all my fear
And how I fail
I fall sometimes
It's hard to walk in shifting sand
I miss the rock and find, have nowhere left to stand
I start to cry
Lord, please help me raise my hands so you can pick me up
Hold me close
Hold me tighter
I have found a place where I can hide
It's safe inside
Your arms of love
Like a child who's helped throughout a storm
You keep me warm
In your arms of love
Storms will come and storms will go
Wonder just how many storms it takes until
I finally know
You're here always
Even when my skies are far from gray
I can stay
Teach me to stay there
In the place I've found where I can hide
It's safe inside
Your arms of love
Like a child who's helped throughout a storm
You keep me warm
Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace
Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glory streams from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing alleluia
Christ the Savior is born

Hark the herald angels sing
"Glory to the newborn king
Peace on earth and mercy mild
God and sinners reconciled"
Joyful all ye nations rise
Join the triumph of the skies
With angelic host proclaim
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
With angelic host proclaim
"Christ is born in Bethlehem"
Mild He lays His glory by
Born that man no more may die
Born to raise the sons of earth
Born to give them second birth
Veiled in flesh, the Godhead see
Hail the incarnate Deity
Pleased as man with men to dwell
Jesus, our Immanuel
Pleased as man with men to dwell
Jesus, our Immanuel
Hail the Heaven born Prince of Peace
Hail the Sun of Righteousness
Light and life to all He brings
Ris'n healing in His wings
Christ the highest Heaven adored
Christ the everlasting Lord
Come desire of nations come
Fix in us Thy humble home
Come desire of nations come
O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight
How silently, how silently
The wondrous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts
The blessings of His heaven
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel
No ear may hear his coming
But in this world of sin
Where meek souls will receive Him
Still the dear Christ enters in.
What A Friend We Have In Jesus / Old Rugged Cross / How Great Thou Art
Written by Stuart K. Hine
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,
Love me tender, love me sweet, never let me go.
You have made my life complete and I love you so.
Love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfill.
For, my darlin', I love you and I always will.
Love me tender, love me long, take me to your heart.
For it's there that I belong and we'll never part.
Love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfill.
For, my darlin', I love you and I always will.
Love me tender, love me dear, tell me you are mine.
I'll be yours through all the years till the end of time.
Love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfill.
For, my darlin', I love you and I always will.
Fairest Lord Jesus ruler of all nature
O Thou of God and man the son
Thee will I cherish, Thee will I honor
Thou, my soul's glory, joy and crown
Fair are the meadows, fairer still the woodlands
Robed in the blooming garb of spring
Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer
Who makes the woeful heart to sing
Fair is the sunshine, fairer still the moonlight
And all the twinkling starry host
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer
Be still, my soul: the Lord is on thy side.
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain.
Leave to thy God to order and provide;
In every change, He faithful will remain.
Be still, my soul: thy best, thy heavenly Friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.
Be still, my soul: thy God doth undertake
To guide the future, as He has the past.
Thy hope, thy confidence let nothing shake;
All now mysterious shall be bright at last.
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 old
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
Take us to Heaven
To live with Thee there
[Instrumental]

We believe in God
And we all need Jesus
'Cause life is hard
And it might not get easier
But don't be afraid
To know who you are
Don't be afraid to show it
If you believe in God
If you say you need Jesus
He'll be where you are
And he never will leave you
Sing to me now words that are true
So all in this place can know it...
We believe in God
And we all need Jesus
We believe in God
And we all need Jesus
We believe in God
And we all need Jesus
Sing to me now words that are true
So all in this place can know it...
We believe in God
And we all need Jesus
We believe in God
And we all need Jesus
We believe in God
And we all need Jesus
Got myself in this situation
I'm not sure about
Climbing in where there's temptation
Can I get back out?
I never can quite find the answer
The one I want to hear
The one that justifies my action
Says the coast is clear
Something on the outside
Says to jump on in
But something on the inside
Is telling me again
Better wise up
Better think twice
Never leave room for compromise
You better wise up
Better get smart
And use your head to guard your heart
It's gonna get rough
So you better wise up
Take a look at your intentions
When you have to choose
Could it be that apprehension
Might be telling you
To back off now is better
So take your heart and run
But get your thoughts together
Before they come undone
Better wise up
Better think twice
Never leave room for compromise
You better wise up
Better get smart
And use your head to guard your heart
It's gonna get rough
So you better wise up
You got to wise up
You got to think twice
You got to wise up
You got to, you got to
To back off now is better
So take your heart and run
But get your thoughts together
Before they come undone
Better wise up
Better think twice
Never leave room for compromise
You better wise up
Better get smart
And use your head to guard your heart
It's gonna get rough
So you better wise up
Better think twice
And never leave room for compromise
Oh, you better wise up
Better get smart
And use your head to guard your heart
It's gonna get rough
So you better wise up
You got to wise up
You got to think twice
(Hohh!)
You got to wise up
(Oh, yeah!)
You got to, you got to
(So you better wise up, now)
You got to wise up
You got to think twice
(Better wise up, y'all!)
You got to wise up
You got to, you got to
(Oh, yeah!)
You got to wise up
You got to think twice
(Better think sharper)
You got to wise up
(Oh, you better wise up, now)
You got to, you got to
(Ohh, yeah!)
You got to wise up
(Hoo! Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo-hoo!)
You got to think twice
You got to wise up
You got to, you got to
(Oh, got to show yo', yeah!)
You got to wise up
You got to think twice
(Hoaa! Ooww!)
You got to wise up
Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'?
In the lane snow is glistenin'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is the new bird
Who sings a love song as we go along
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say are you married? We'll say no man
But you can do the job when you're in town
Later on, we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid the plans that we've made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Sleigh bells ring, are you listenin'?
In the lane snow is glistenin'
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Walkin' in a winter, walkin' in a winter
Pour me some coffee
I’ve got an hour before I go
Tell me a secret
Tell me something I don’t know
Oh, in this life I need you more than you can know
To hold my hand
To be my friend
To hear you tell me once again
What kind of love is a love that won’t break down
What kind of love honestly knows no bounds
Hopes all things
Believes all things
Never never let me go
What kind of love
I’ve got a new place
You’ve got a baby on the way
Time keeps on moving
Seems like nothing stays the same
Oh, in this life it can be hard to keep the faith
Some truth you own
Some you let go
But in the end you’ve got to know
What kind of love is a love that won’t break down
What kind of love honestly knows no bounds
Hopes all things
Believes all things
Never never let me go
And what kind of love will still be here
When everything else has disappeared
And what kind of love is strong enough
To stand the test of time
What kind of love is a love that won’t break down
What kind of love honestly knows no bounds
Hopes all things
Believes all things
Never never let me go
What kind of love
What kind of love
What kind of love
Tears are falling, hearts are breaking
How we need to hear from god
You've been promised, we've been waiting
Welcome holy child
Welcome holy child
Hope that you don't mind our manger
How I wish we would have known
But long awaited holy stranger
Make yourself at home
Please make yourself at home
Bring your peace into our violence
Bid our hungry souls be filled
World now breaking heaven's silence
Welcome to our world
Welcome to our world
Fragile finger sent to heal us
Tender brow prepared for thorn
Tiny heart whose blood will save us
Unto us is born
Unto us is born
So wrap our injured flesh around you
Breathe our air and walk our sod
Rob our sin and make us holy
Perfect son of god
Perfect son of god
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!
There will never be another
Who will love me like You
There will never be another
Who could hold me, mold me
There will never be another
Who could love me purely
No, there will never be another
Who has loved me like You
And I know that there will never be another love
Who could ever be the love that You are
'Cause You had so much to lose
But still You gave it up for Your scars
But that's the way You are
And if I spent my life attending Universities
Educated in the wisdom of men
And if I could even quote a guy like Socrates
Even then I couldn't comprehend
That there will never be another
Who will love me like You
There will never be another
Who could hold me, mold me
There will never be another
Who could love me purely
No, there will never be another
Who has loved me like You
And I know I'll never understand the mystery
If I live to be a hundred and three
How You died to live the love You give to me
There will never be another
Who will love me like You
There will never be another
Who could hold me, mold me
There will never be another
Who could love me purely
No, there will never be another
Who has loved me like You
There will never be another
I may not be every mother's dream for her little girl
And my face may not grace the mind of everyone in the world
But that's all right as long as I can have one wish I pray
When people look inside my life, I want to hear them say
She's got her father's eyes, her father's eyes
Eyes that find the good in things, when good is not around
Eyes that find the source of help, when help just can't be found
Eyes full of compassion, seeing every pain
Knowin' what you're going through and feeling it the same
Just like my father's eyes, my father's eyes, my father's eyes
Just like my father's eyes
And on that day when we will pay for all the deeds we have done
Good and bad they'll all be had to see by everyone
And when you're called to stand and tell just what you saw in me
More than anything I know, I want your words to be
She had her father's eyes, her father's eyes
Eyes that find the good in things, when good is not around
Eyes that find the source of help, when help just can't be found
Eyes full of compassion, seeing every pain
Knowin' what you're going through and feeling it the same
Just like my father's eyes, my father's eyes, my father's eyes
Just like my father's eyes, my father's eyes, my father's eyes
There's a fire in the sky
The stars are burning like this passion
Tonight, slowly stirring
You and I
A way we've never known
Now we're here, alone
You're the one in my life and
Nothing matters more to me
On this night than
Learning how do I love you
'Til the morning light
Baby, you and I
Hold me close, fill me, breathe
Touch my heart
Set it free and love will lead us
Lay me down, lift me up
Feel the power
Every time we touch
Don't we wait all our lives
For such a moment
Soul to soul, eye to eye
And all our colors run toward one
'Til there's no dividing light
Between you and I
Hold me close, fill me, breathe
Touch my heart
Set it free and love will lead us
Lay me down, lift me up
Feel the power
Every time we touch
Hold onto water, hold to the tide
Love is an ocean
Love washes over
For you and I
As we dream
On the sea of desire
Hold me close, fill me, breathe
Touch my heart
Set it free and love will lead us
Lay me down, lift me up
Feel the power
Every time we touch
I have waited all my life
For this moment
Too many broken hearts have fallen in the river
Too many lonely souls have drifted out to sea,
You lay your bets and then you pay the price
The things we do for love, the things we do for love.
Communication is the problem to the answer
You've got her number and your hand is on the phone
The weather's turned and all the lines are down
The things we do for love, the things we do for love.
Like walking in the rain and the snow
When there's nowhere to go
And you're feelin' like a part of you is dying
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes.
You think you're gonna break up
Then she says she wants to make up.
Ooh you made me love you
Ooh you've got a way
Ooh you had me crawling up the wall.
Like walking in the rain and the snow
When there's nowhere to go
And you're feelin' like a part of you is dying
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes.
You think you're gonna break up
Then she says she wants to make up.
Ooh you made me love you
Ooh you've got a way
Ooh you had me crawling up the wall.
A compromise would surely help the situation
Agree to disagree but disagree the part
When after all it's just a compromise of
The things we do for love, the things we do for love....
When peace like a river attendeth my soul
When sorrows like sea billows roll
Whatever my lot thou hast taught me to say
It is well, it is well with my soul...
You can tell someone you love 'em
From the bottom of your heart
And believe that it's the truest thing you've known
And even if you never break the promises you make
The river's gonna keep on rolling on
And if you haven't got a dollar
Not a penny to your name
Somebody's gonna miss you when you're gone
And even if you never find
Just A Little Peace of Mind
The river's gonna keep on rolling on
Keep on rollin' to the ocean
Keep on rollin' to the sea
Keep on rollin' 'till the love we need
Washes over you and me
God's love is like a river
At every turn and every bend
And faith in Him will turn your heart around
'Cause even though we sin,
There's forgiveness in the end
And the river's gonna keep on rollin' on
Keep on rollin' to the ocean
Keep on rollin' to the sea
Keep on rollin' 'till the love we need
Washes over you and me
Keep on rollin' 'till the love we need
Washes over you and me...
It is well with my soul
It is well, it is well, with my soul.
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos
Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight
They know that Santa's on his way
He's bringing lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple wish
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
They know that Santa's on his way
He's bringing lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple wish
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to you
Sometimes my life just don't make sense at all
And the mountains look so big, and my faith just seems so small
So hold me, Jesus, I'm shakin' like a leaf
You have been king of my glory, won't you be my prince of peace?
And I wake up in the night, and feel the dark
It's so hot inside my soul, there must be blisters on my heart
So hold me, Jesus, I'm shakin' like a leaf
You have been king of my glory, won't you be my prince of peace?
Surrender don't come natural to me
I'd rather fight you for somethin' I don't really want than take what you've
given me
And I've beat my head against so many walls, I'm fallin' down, I'm fallin' on
my knees
And the Salvation Army band is playing this hymn
And your grace rings out so deep, it makes my resistence seem so thin
Oh, hold me, Jesus, I'm shakin' like a leaf
You have been king of my glory, won't you be my prince of peace?
Oh, hold me, Jesus, I'm shakin' like a leaf
I had laid some mighty plans
Thought I held them in my hands
Then my world began to crumble all away
I tried to build it back again
I couldn't bear to see it end
How it hurt to know, you wanted it that way
And I'm so glad
Glad to find the reason
That I'm happy-sad
That you've torn it all away
And I'm so glad
Though it hurts to know
I'm leaving
Everything I ever thought that I would be
Once I held it in my hand
It was a kingdom made of sand
But now, you've blown it all away
I can't believe that I can say that I'm glad
Long before my plans were made
I know a master plan was laid
With a power that superseded my control
And if that truth could pierce my heart
I wouldn't wander from the start
Trying desperately to make it on my own
And I'm so glad
Glad to find the reason
That I'm happy-sad
That you've torn it all away
And I'm so glad
Though it hurts to know
I'm leaving
Everything I ever thought that I would be
Once I held it in my hand
It was a kingdom made of sand
But now, you've blown it all away
I can't believe that I can say that I'm glad
So glad
Oh, I'm so glad
So glad
Oh, I'm so glad
Yes, I'm glad
So very, very glad
La, la, la
La, la, la
La, la la, la la
La la, la la
[Instrumental]
Long time since I've seen Your smile
But when I close my eyes, I remember, I remember
You were no more than a child
But then so was I, young and tender
Time carries on
I guess it always will
But deep inside my heart
Time stands still
Stay for a while
Well, it's good to see Your smile
And I love your company
Stay for a while
And remember the day's gone by
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be
Snowfalls, phone calls, broken hearts
Clear summer days, warm and lazy
Long walks, long talks after dark
We vowed we'd never forget, now it's hazy
Time takes its toll
And time alters our view
It would be nice
To spend some time with you
Oh, stay for awhile
Well, it's good to see Your smile
And I love your company
Stay for a while
And remember the day's gone by
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be
Stay, please stay
Stay, stay, stay
One, two, one, two
Stay for awhile
Well, it's good to see Your smile
And I love your company
Oh, stay for a while
And remember the day's gone by
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be
Stay for a while
Oh, it's good to see Your smile
And I love your company
Won't you stay with me for a while
And remember the day's gone by
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be
The way it used to be, be
The way it used to be
Baby this life can break your heart
Everyone hurts to some degree
But while this world is fallin' apart
Why don't you come be with me?
Don't you know that night can be so cold
When you're without the one you need?
How much longer do I have to go
Waiting for you? Come be with me
Love can be so simple
When you let it flow
Get it in your head, feel it with your heart
Send it from your soul
Look up at the stars burnin' bright
Listen to the wind whisper sweet
Heaven and Earth know the moment is right
Why don't you come be with me?
(Ooh ooh ooh)
Love can be so simple
When you let it flow
Get it in your head, feel it with your heart
Send it from your soul
Look up at the stars burnin' bright
Listen to the wind whisper sweet
Heaven and Earth know the moment is right
(Know the moment's right)
Why don't you come be with me?
Heaven and Earth know the moment is right
(Why?)
Here under heaven's eyes,
down under paradise,
sometimes it seems like we're so small.
Here on the shores that reach
into infinity,
how could we matter much at all?
Would it be enough
if each of us would give our love?
Like sand on a mountain,
rain on a fountain,
shade on a shadow,
a breeze in this tornado,
just do what you can.
Clap with one hand
and shine all your light in the sun.
We live to learn to love.
Oh, mercy from above.
Amazing grace, like rain comes falling down.
We sing our hearts to you,
our song of gratitude.
The voice of ev'ry soul,
how sweet the sound.
We can only trust
all our prayers will all add up.
Like sand on a mountain,
rain on a fountain,
shade on a shadow,
a breeze in this tornado,
just do what you can.
Clap with one hand
and shine all your light in the sun.
Would it be enough
if each of us would give our love?
Like sand on a mountain,
rain on a fountain,
shade on a shadow,
a breeze in this tornado,
just do what you can.
Clap with one hand

kissed him. -- Luke 15:20
I face the day again
Against the window pane.
I remain your closest friend,
And wish you back again.
You wonder how I feel;
You think you've pushed too far.
If only you could see this pen
Scribbling down my heart.
I'll be waiting.
I may be young or old and gray,
Counting the days,
But I'll be waiting,
And when I finally see you come,
I'll run when I see you--
I'll meet you.
But still the days drag on.
Why did you decide to go?
Did you only need to see
What only time can show?
I'll be waiting.
I may be young or old and gray,
Counting the days,
But I'll be waiting,
And when I finally see you come,
I'll run when I see you.
And even if
You never do return,
Still I will have learned
How to love you better.
I'll be waiting.
I may be young or old and gray,
Counting the days,
But I'll be waiting,
And when I finally see you come,
I'll run to meet you.
I'll be waiting.
I may be young or old and gray,
Counting the days,
I'll be waiting,
And when I finally see you come,
Rock of ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
Rock of ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
Let the water and the blood
From thy riven side which flowed
Oh, be of sin the double cure
Cleanse me from its guilt and power
Nothing in my hand I bring
Simply to Thy cross I cling
Nothin' in my hand I bring
Simply to Thy cross I cling
Naked, come to Thee for dress
Helpless, look to Thee for grace
Vile, I to the fountain fly
Wash me Savior or I die
Rock of ages cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
Rock of ages, cleft for me
When all goodbyes
Are said and done
And nighttime finds you home
Are you all right
To spend a night
Of being all alone?
And do you hide
Between the lines
Of conversations past?
A wall of words
A heart unheard
That hides behind a mask?
I'm raining on the inside
My heart wells up with tears that start to pour
I'm raining on the inside
But then your cries of love break through
And I fall in love with you once more
When friends who care
Can't be there
To ease away my pain
And peace of mind
It's hard to find
Like sunlight in the rain
God sees my heart
The deepest part
Inside this lonely me
And reachin' in
His love begins
To heal the heart in me
I'm raining on the inside
Oh, my heart wells up with tears that start to pour
I'm raining on the inside
But then your cries of love break through
And I fall in love with you once more
Sometimes we're raining on the inside
And our hearts well up with tears that start to pour
But when we're raining on the inside
Let his cries of love break through
Know that he loves you, once more
Sometimes I'm raining on the inside
But then your cries of love break through
O Master, let me walk with Thee
In lowly paths of service free
Tell me Thy secret, help me hear
The strain of toil, the fret of care
Teach me Thy patience, still with Thee
In closer, dearer company
In work that keeps faith sweet and strong
In truth that triumphs over wrong
O Master let me walk with Thee
In dearer, closer company
O Master let me walk with Thee
Let me walk with Thee
In hope that sends a shining ray
Far down the future's broadening way
In peace that only Thou canst give
With Thee, O Master let me live
I can't relive my life
I can't retrace my tracks
I can't undo what's done
There is no going back
I chased a selfish dream
Did not survey the cost
Illusions disappeared
I've found my innocence lost
Some say it's lessons learned
Some say it's a living life
I say it's choices made
Knowing wrong from right
One night I fought to sleep
In my slumber I turned and tossed
I woke to a cloudy day
And found my innocence lost
Innocent child is a beautiful thing
Secure in her father's arms
Sleeps while a mother sings
There's no way to know
All the harm this world can bring
I miss my innocence
Oh, to be innocent
My heavenly Father
The way of eternal love
That overflows with grace
I can completely trust
My broken heart repaired
And all my sin forgot
I can be pure again
In spite of my innocence lost
In his eyes I'm a newborn child
'cause I accept his love
I have a newfound hope
Though I've found my innocence lost
I can be pure again
O love that will not let me go
I rest my weary soul in thee
I give thee back the life I owe
That in thine ocean depths its flow
My richer, fuller be
O light that followest all my way
I yield my flickering torch to thee
My heart restores its borrowed ray
That in thy sunshines glow its day
May brighter, fairer be
O joy you seek me through the pain
I cannot close my heart to thee
I trace the rainbow through the rain
And feel the promise is not vain
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
