Dallas Albert Willard (born September 4, 1935) is an American philosopher also known for his writings on Christian spiritual formation. His work in philosophy has been primarily in phenomenology, particularly the work of Edmund Husserl. He is currently Professor of Philosophy at The University of Southern California.
Willard attended William Jewell College, and later graduated from Tennessee Temple College in 1956 with a B.A. in Psychology, and from Baylor University in 1957 with a B.A. in Philosophy and Religion. He went to graduate school at Baylor University and the University of Wisconsin–Madison, earning a Ph.D. in Philosophy with a minor in the History of Science in 1964.
Willard taught at the University of Wisconsin in Madison from 1960–1965.

Leonard Ravenhill (1907–1994) was an English Christian evangelist and author who focused on the subjects of prayer and revival. He is best known for challenging the modern church (through his books and sermons) to compare itself to the early Christian Church as chronicled in the Book of Acts. His most notable book is Why Revival Tarries which has sold over a million copies worldwide.
Born in Leeds, in Yorkshire, England, Ravenhill was educated at Cliff College in England and sat under the ministry of Samuel Chadwick. He was a student of church history, with a particular interest in Christian revival. His evangelistic meetings during the Second World War drew large crowds. Many converts devoted themselves to Christian ministry and foreign missions.
In 1939, he married an Irish nurse, Martha. The Ravenhills had three sons: Paul, David, and Philip. Paul and David are Christian ministers, and Philip is a teacher.
In 1950, Ravenhill and his family moved from Great Britain to the United States. In the 1960s they traveled within the United States, holding tent revivals and evangelistic meetings.

[Chorus]
When God took His people
To the promised land
He gave them their freedom
He gave a command
He said, West of the Jordan
You can have all you see
But the ware of their idols
Won't be holy to Me
Holiness, holiness
It's the only life
That the Lord can bless
Holiness, holiness
It's the Lord's command
Not the Lord's request
They heard the commandment
But did not obey
They hardened their hearts
And wandered away
From the goodness of God
And the blessings He gave
Through traditions of men
And the yolk of a slave
Holiness, holiness
It's the only life
That the Lord can bless
Holiness, holiness
It's the Lord's command
Not the Lord's request
Holiness, holiness
It's a life apart
From the world's excess
For the people of God
The remains of rest
Holiness, holiness
Jesus is calling you
Come take My hand
I'll lead you away
From the wilderness land
To a place full of goodness
As far as the sea
But remember Who brought you
And be holy to Me
Holiness, holiness
It's not your food or drink
It's not the way to dress
Holiness, holiness
It's to hear the Lord
And answer yes
Holiness, holiness
It's the only life
That the Lord can bless
For the people of God
The remains of rest
For the people of God
The remains of rest
Holiness covers my weaknesses
Melting my selfishness
Cause of you
Try with all my might
But it's your strength inside
Gives me the will to fight the battle through
And it's gotta be the right road
I gotta go where you go
I wanna throw out my arms
And seize the day for you
And it's gotta be the right way
Make sure that you're behind me
Cause you are the breakthrough light
You're my one true sight, oh you
Loneliness plays to my darkness
Caressing my vengefulness
When you're not here
As pressure destroys my mind
You conquer me every time
By mending the brokenness
Behind my fears
And it's gotta be the right road
I gotta go where you go
I wanna throw out my arms
And seize the day for you
And it's gotta be the right way
Make sure that you're behind me
Cause you are the breakthrough light
You're my one true sight, oh you
I can now look up
And face my deepest shades
And the fire across my bow
'Cause you know me
And I know you
And it's gotta be the right road
I gotta go where you go
I wanna throw out my arms
And seize the day for you
And it's gotta be the right way
Make sure that you're behind me
Cause you are the breakthrough light
You're my one true sight, oh you
And it's gotta be the right road
I gotta go where you go
I wanna throw out my arms
And seize the day for you
And it's gotta be the right way
Make sure that you're behind me
Cause you are the breakthrough light
I'll waste my time
I'll be your strength
You will be my blood and my heart
I will bring you down
I will steal your soul
You will be mine, you will be mine
Why can't you see?
You say you are
Ready to get away from
All those who are bringing you down
And you won't
Let me in
I want to know your deepest desires
And your fears
Under my command
You won't be alone and afraid no more
No more.
I'll waste my time
I'll be your strength
You will be my blood and my heart
I'll bring you down
I'll steal your soul
You will be mine
You will be my heart
Will be my heart
Will be my blood.
I swear that I will treat you right
If you just tell me your lies
Give me your trust and I won't tell
In your dreams
You will see my face
And finally feel what I mean
There is no truth
I just have a point of view
I wish that you could only see
I will waste my time
I will be your strength
You will be my blood and my heart
I will bring you down
I will steal your soul
You will be mine, You will be mine
You will be my heart
Why can't you see?
We were meant to be together.
In life or death I will be by your side
I will give you my air
You will breathe when I command you to
Nothing in this world
Can make me give up on your love
Even if you don't want to, I will make you
Change your mind and you be.
Will be.
Mine
I will waste my time
I will be your strength
You will be my blood and my heart
I will bring you down
I will steal your soul
You will be mine, You will be mine.
Will be my heart
We were meant to be
I'm not gonna say "I'm sorry"
For the things that I have done
I don't mind if you don't mind
Our time is passing by
I don't know you anymore
And there are no excuses right now
Inside your head, tell me what's going on
Tell me what's going on...
Out of the darkness
Into the light
Feeling my soul
Begging for more
Break all these chains
And take them away
I need to break
What I wanna change
I'm not gonna find a reason
I won't doubt my mistakes
I know that I have changed
I'm not the same
And I can feel that I found my way
Because I won't be there
To catch you when you fall
To hold you when you're down
Out of the darkness
Into the light
Feeling my soul
Begging for more
Break all these chains
And take them away
I need to break
What I wanna change
I won't be there
To catch you when you fall
To hold you when you're down
More and more I see the end
And that feels good
I don't need to try anymore
Out of the darkness
Into the light
Feeling my soul
Begging for more
Break all these chains
And take them away
I need to break
What I wanna change
Out of the darkness
Into the light
Feeling my soul
Begging for more
Break all these chains
And take them away
I need to break
Every time that you take a breath
Are you really trying just to breathe?
All the shadows that surround you
Separating you from all the rest
When the silence is finally broken
And the promises forgotten
But I never forget
I'm counting all the hours
Cause you know our time is running out
Every path you follow
One choice that you don't even see
When the light is blinding your eyes
And you dream while you're awakening
But I'm never dreaming
No, I'm never dreaming...
Time goes by and I'm
Waiting for a change
I know I try
I'm never giving up...
When your fears begin to haunt you
And your words can no longer be heard
I can see the curtains closing
Sometimes I can hear your lonely cry
When you pay for all your mistakes
And your regrets don't let you sleep no more
Are you screaming for help?
When there's nothing left to say and
Everything you wanted seems so far
You can try to run forever
You can live in denial but it won't help
When you think that you are so close
I am always one step ahead
Don't try to forget
Don't try to pretend
Time goes by and I'm
Waiting for a change
I know I try
I'm never giving up
Time goes by and I'm
Waiting for a change
I know I try
I'm never giving up
I know it's not easy to be free
When you're tied to your lies
If you would just open your eyes
Time goes by and I'm
Waiting for a change
I know I try...
(I try)
Time goes by and I'm
Waiting for a change
I know I try
I'm never giving up
Never giving up, never giving up...
Like anyone would be
I am flattered by your fascination with me
Like any hot-blooded woman
I have simply wanted an object to crave
But you
You're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight
Must be strangely exciting
To watch the stoic squirm
Must be somewhat hard-telling
To watch shepherd meet shepherd
But you
You're not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight
Like any unchartered territory
I must seem greatly intriguing
You speak of my love
Like you have experienced love like mine before
But this is not allowed
You're uninvited
An unfortunate slight
I don't think you unworthy
Take your foot off my neck
Take your thoughts out of my head
I'm not who you think I am
I'm so tired, I want to pretend
What I want is to feel
Feel that I can be free
What I want is to feel
Feel that I can be free
No one can stop me now
I felt my soul somehow
No one can stop me now
I felt my soul some...
No one told me what to do next
You never helped me when I called your name
You know how to choose a better way
Somehow I know what to say
What I want is to feel
Feel that I can be free
What I want is to feel
Feel that I can be free
No one can stop me now
I felt my soul somehow
No one can stop me now
I felt my soul somehow
And now I know where I belong
Now, I know where I belong
I can see the sun, I can feel the wind
No longer in the dark
I can see the sun, I can feel the wind
Every lie you tell
I just can't forget
Why is it so hard to believe you?
And my thoughts go hide
In another place
Where your words can't hurt me again
And now
When can I go home?
I want to know...
(I just want to know...)
I used to believe
In a better life
Now i see that i was dreaming
i just wanna run
Never feel the pain
Wounds on my skin that bleed
Please, show me the way out
Now I'm leaving
And I'm not coming back for more
I will tell you everything I know
But I can't help you now
The message lies between the lines
And only you can find out
Can find out the truth
Every time you lose
You learn to win
Somehow you know it's your turn
When I begin to play, I'll beat you
Now you're inside my game, no need to
Run away from the pain, that's useless
It's all in your mind
I will tell you everything I know
But I can't help you now
The message lies between the lines
And only you can find out
I was lost among my thoughts
Trying to find a way to hide
I wish that I could never see
All the truth behind the lies
Is there anyone who could tell me
All the words I would like hear?
And here you are
By my side
Now I can feel the taste
The taste of not being alone
My thoughts have taken me away
To the place where I belong
Higher than any cloud could be
It's my first time now
Maybe I will see
And here you are
By my side
Can I really trust myself?
Can you really trust me?
Will you take me far away?
Will you let the rain fall and bring...
Can I really trust myself?
Can you really trust me?
Will you take me far away?
Can I really trust myself?
Can I really trust myself?
Can you really trust me?
Will you take me far away?
Will you let the rain fall and bring...
Your light on me
And I have heard what you told me
My world have changed with one world
Everything I thought I have lost
How many times these thoughts won't go away?
I will break these chains today
Maybe you could help me if you just raise your hand
Help me if you raise your hand
Far beyond my dreams I saw your eyes
You where blinding your lies
Maybe you could help me if you say that you'll stay
Help me if you say that you'll stay
I don't want to feel alone
All my hopes and dreams are strong
Take me closer to your side
Tell me the things that you hide
Take me closer to your side
To your side
How many times these thoughts won't go away?
I will break these chains today
Maybe you could help me if you learn how to say
Help me if you learn to say
I don't want to feel alone
All my hopes and dreams are strong
Take me closer to your side
Tell me the things that you hide
Take me closer to your side
To your side
Nothing can change now
The only thing that's right
Nothing can change my mind
Nothing can change my mind
Waiting for the day everything will end
Watching the years go by and keeping my faith
Will you take me, or will I stay and see?
Do I deserv to know if my life has any meaning?
I just want to say
If there's some place to stay
Some holy ground to pray
Someone calling my name
All this must be real
I want to heal all this pain
Want to believe in my fate
Make a promise and stay
We are just a breath in time
Talking to yourself
Are you still afraid?
Time to close your eyes and make a wish
When the night falls, why do you disappear?
Something is telling me you're running from your own
ghosts
Don't deny and say
If there's some place to stay
Some holy ground to pray
Someone calling my name
All this must be real
I want to heal all this pain
Want to believe in my fate
Make a promise and stay
We are just a breath in time
And I will stay with you
I will be here with my fears
Don't deny me this my dear
Everything changes, nothing remains
Why worry? We all have the same sins
We'll be forever in some places
I'll waste my time
I'll be your strength
You will be my blood and my heart
I will bring you down
I will steal your soul
You will be mine, you will be mine
Why can't you see?
You say you are
Ready to get away from
All those who are bringing you down
And you won't
Let me in
I want to know your deepest desires
And your fears
Under my command
You won't be alone and afraid no more
No more.
I'll waste my time
I'll be your strength
You will be my blood and my heart
I'll bring you down
I'll steal your soul
You will be mine
You will be my heart
Will be my heart
Will be my blood.
I swear that I will treat you right
If you just tell me your lies
Give me your trust and I won't tell
In your dreams
You will see my face
And finally feel what I mean
There is no truth
I just have a point of view
I wish that you could only see
I will waste my time
I will be your strength
You will be my blood and my heart
I will bring you down
I will steal your soul
You will be mine, You will be mine
You will be my heart
Why can't you see?
We were meant to be together.
In life or death I will be by your side
