There are places in my heart
And corners of my mind
That I?ve hidden from Your light
Like buried treasure deep inside of me
I don?t want You to see, I keep it to myself
But You give Your love to me
You open up Your heart unselfishly
Lord, in Your embrace now I can say
I surrender
Everything I held so precious
Everything I kept away
I give it up, give it up
All for You, I give it all for You
Everything I held as treasure
I give it all for You, I give it all for You
In Your light, I feel a new power coming over me
Calling me to Your surrender, I gotta find the answer
What is this Your love has opened up inside?
Suddenly I cannot hide
You give Your love to me
You open up Your heart unselfishly
Lord, in Your embrace now I can say
I surrender
Everything I held so precious
Everything I kept away
I give it up, give it up
All for You, I give it all for You
Everything I held as treasure
I give it all for You, I give it all for You
?Cause Your love is everything to me
And in Your light I finally see
Oh, I can?t hold it back
Everything I?ve hidden deep inside
Now I surrender
Surrender, Lord, I surrender
I give it all to You
You give Your love to me
You open up Your heart unselfishly
How can I not do the same for You?
I surrender
Everything I held so precious
Everything I kept away
I give it up, give it up
All for You, I give it all for You
Everything I held as treasure
For just a moment I wish I could have been there
To see your first step
To hear your very first word
Tell me did you ever fall and scrape your knee
Did you know your wounds would one day heal the world
For just one moment I wish I could have seen you growing,
Learning the ways of a capenter's son
Just a little boy gazing at the stars
Did you remember creating every one
If you passed by would I see a child or a king
Or would i have known
Chorus:
I wish I could have been there
My only wish is to see you face to face
I wish I could have been there
Just to see you Jesus face to face
For just one moment I wish I could have been there
When you left your footprints upon the waves
To walk along beside you never look away
Just your whisper and the wind and sea obey
To see you feed the people
To feel the healing in your touch
I wish I could have been there
Chorus
To hear you pray in the garden alone
Laying youe will with each tear
To see you walk that lonely road
Willing to die for me
And in that
Moment I know I should have been there
You took my cross and gave your life
But you live again
I wish I could have been there
I wish thatI could have seen you rise again
I wish I could have been there
My only wish is to see you face to face
Someday i'll be there
I'm gonna be there
I'll see your face
Your mercy and grace
Someday
She?s independent and beautiful
Wish I could be like her
She?s got the girls and the boys
So wrapped around her finger
Rumor is she?s some kind of dream
Nobody knows she cries herself to sleep
We are not that different from each other
We just want somebody to discover
Who we really are when we drop our guard
That love has gotta start with you and me
He?s on the top of the social scene
He?s stylish, cool and clever
He?s gotta cool attitude that screams
He?s got it all together
You?d think he?s addicted to himself
But he wishes he could be someone else
Gotta come together
You know you never ever have to be alone
If you got a dream,
Go chase it
If you got a fear,
Then face it
Got a lot of life,
Don't waste it
Sitting on your hands
While the sky is falling
Every single day
That's dawning
Is another perfect morning
Got a lot to do, stop yawning
Listen up, the world is calling
You know you want to make a difference
Break the silence On your feet
Chorus:
People get up
If you wanna be lifted up
If you wanna be looking up
Do you wanna be ready
To take a stand, put your hand up
If you wanna be waken up
Do you wanna be shaken up
If you wanna be right on the money
Everybody get up
Every little thing you're doing
Every little plan you're brewing
Everything you're going through
Gonna make you stronger
Just remember
If you ever trip and stumble
If you ever roll and tumble
If you ever fall and fumble
Dust it off, and get back into the moment
And make a difference
Break the silence
On your feet
Chorus
When you're feeling down
Take a look around
Put your hands up, Put your hands up
When you're feeling low
All you need to know
Put your hands up,
Put your hands up
So if you've got the faith
Let me hear you say
They say I'm too young to really understand
They say I'm too old to be where I am
They say just fit in, you'll be just fine
But I can't buy the lie
The voices of the crowd always try to keep me down
But I've had enough and now I'm stepping out
Unafraid
‘Cause I know who You are
Unafraid
Staring life in the face
‘Cause I know who I am is who You made
So here I stand
Unafraid
You say I'm Your own, an orphan found
You say I am home, those lies are lonely now
You're proud of me, and I am safe
And my fears begin to fade
Your voice is drowning everybody out
I'm gonna live my life (unashamed)
Living my life (untamed)
For the sake of Your Name
Most live a lifetime and never see
The soul of tomorrow in someone's eyes
Some give up on all of their dreams
One second before they materialize
But love broke through walls of stone
It was You, it was You alone
You crack the sky like broken glass
You rescued me when my chance had passed
Sometimes things aren't as hard as you may think
Because all you need is just a touch of faith
Some never ever turn a key
To the door of their heart's desires
Too afraid to fall somewhere in between
Tomorrow's fears and the pressure's fire
Your love broke through walls of stone
It was You, it was You alone
You crack the sky like broken glass
You rescued me when my chance had passed
Sometimes things aren't as hard as you may think
Because all you need is just a touch of faith
Your touch pushed back the clouds just like the sun
Your hand pulled me out of the hardest time
That I've ever known, that I ever knew
Oh Lord, that was all because I met You
Your love broke through walls of stone
It was You, it was You alone
You crack the sky like broken glass
You rescued me when my chance had passed
Sometimes things aren't as hard as you may think
You crack the sky like broken glass
You rescued me when my chance had passed
Sometimes things aren't as hard as you may think
Because all you need is just a touch of faith
You crack the sky like broken glass
You rescued me when my chance had passed
Sometimes things aren't as hard as you may think
In all that I have found
Your evidence abounds
I've always sensed Your fingerprints
If I just look around
And yet this grand display
Will all soon pass away
So I hold onto the mighty truth
That Your love is here to stay
The love of the Lord endures
The love of the Lord endures
If there's one thing I can be sure
It's that the love of the Lord endures
Life has let me down
In wealth joy, can't be found
I've searched for peace in all of these
But I have always found
The love of the Lord endures
The love of the Lord endures
If there's one thing I can be sure
The love of the Lord endures
When I stumble, when I fall
When I'm walking ten feet tall
Your love is there day after day
Even at the worst extreme
Or after I have been redeemed
Your love is there
And it won't let me go
The love of the Lord endures
The love of the Lord endures
If there's one thing I can be sure
It's that the love of the Lord endures
The love of the Lord endures
Run, it's always your instinct
Run, it feels like the right thing to turn your back and
Where, where are you going as fast as you can run
Slow down, come on, take a breath
Why don't you rest
What's your hurry
C'mon
Stay
Just stay
You're where you're meant to be
You're no runaway
Why don't you stay
So long, yesterday's gone
So long to all of your worries that won't add a day to
life
Slow down, come on, take a breath
Why don't you rest
What's your hurry
Lay your weary head down in the fields of green
Soak your soul now in the quiet streams
We built a tall, tall tower
Towards the sun, towards the sun
Took some words and built a wall
And called it love, called it love
And somewhere in all the talking
The meaning faded out
Oh, I wonder
When did it all stop making sense?
I don't understand
I remember we were so sure, so innocent
Oh, but that was then
Can we ever go back again?
Can we ever go back?
You're speaking a dead, dead language
You don't sound like yourself
I hope its just lost in translation
So why don't you show? Don't try to tell
And brick by brick we started crumbling
Will I find you when it falls?
Oh, I wonder
When did it all stop making sense?
I don't understand
I remember we were so sure, so innocent
Oh, but that was then
Can we ever go back?
Don't hold your breath
Look around
Try to add it up
Pin it down
But you can't
Oh, I wonder
When did it all stop making sense?
I don't understand
I remember we were so sure, so innocent
Oh, but that was then
Can we ever go back again?
Are you listening
to anything that I say?
'cause I've been prayin'
how many prayers can I pray?
I'm still waiting
maybe you'll show up today
I know your here but I can't feel you
and if your speaking I can't hear you
how much longer will this last?
so ok
answer me with silence
it's ok if you don't say a word
your testing me to trust you'll be faithful in this
quiet
So ok
Answer me with silence
Why do I question your intentions for me
When your affection is a proven legacy
Oh father father
Turn my fears into peace
I know your love will never leave
I know you want what's best for me
So ok
Answer me with silence
it's ok if you don't say a word
'cause your testing me to trust you'll be faithful in
this quiet
So ok
Answer me with silence
Yeah
It's ok
It's ok
It's ok
Your testing me to trust you'll be faithful in this
quiet
Oh it's ok
to answer me with silence and it';s ok if you don't say
a word
your testing me to trust you'll be faithfull in this
quiet
So ok answer me with silence
silence with silence
without a word
ahh ahh ahh it's ok
answer me with silence
your testing me
ahhhhhh
my god
ahhh ahhh answer me with silence
it's ok
it's ok
It's ok
Do you ever get the feeling
People think you're crazy
Cause you trust what they can't see
Do you ever get the feeling
People think you&Mac182;re shallow
And you will change what you believe
But I'm not here to argue
About what others think and feel
Cause I'm not ashamed to tell anyone
What I know to be real
I'm serious about the stand I'm taking
Serious about the choice I'm making
Serious about the things that I believe
I'm serious about the talk I'm talking
The evidence is in the walk I'm walking
Serious about love and purity
I'm serious as I can be
I'm not the first to meet with laughter
And resistance from a disbelieving crowd
But I got to meet it head on
I'm just gonna keep on
Won't let it get me down
I'm not here to give up
Jesus didn't give up on me
Even when the goin' gets rough
I've promised God that I'll be
Won't change my mind
Got to close the door
No time for goin' back
To what I had before
I'm so tired of playin' all these games
Cause the more I see what You mean to me
It's so typical I'm always amazed
When it comes to You
Feels so natural To be blown away
When I stop and think of
How your love is etched upon my heart
And how no matter If I laugh, If I hope
If I dream you're a part of me
Wanting You, needing You
Loving You comes to me
It comes like Second Nature like
Breathing in, breathing out
Something I don't think about
It comes like Second Nature
Second Nature
Like an instinct That I can't control
I always turn to You It's a spiritual thing
A thirst in my soul That makes me run
Into your arms and to the place
Our hears collide where
Everything comes clear
And I see, from the start
This is how love was meant to be
It's so obvious I was born for this
Born for a love like this
And I know for sure I've been captured
I saw you today
My familiar stranger
Everything's changed
You have come so far
You're different now
Would you go back, would you want to anyhow
Chorus: Say goodbye, say goodbye
To the you I knew before
Say hello, say hello to a new beginning
Say goodbye, say goodbye
To the you I knew before
This is your genesis
Face to face
The present and past collide
And it's no mistake
I see the future is in your eyes
You seem so free
Like nothing's ever gonna keep you down
Chorus
You're different now
You're different somehow
You're different now
Chorus
I'm Gonna give you no less
Every word that I have ever said
Is it true or just what's in my head
I can say my life is in Your hands
But You're askin' me where do I stand
Will they see if I am serious
When it comes to me who do I really trust
Chorus:
I wanna give my all and no less
I wanna live my life with no regrets
I'll listen to the call 'Cause you gave it all
So when You put me to the test
I'm gonna give You no less
Wanna live the dream inside of me
See the plan for who I'm meant to be
Doing all the things I know I can
Not just wishing that I had
Pushin' on and never givin' up
Any less is never gonna be enough
Chorus x2
You felt so much pain
It's hard to believe
You gave so much away
You came to me with nothing to gain
You offered your best Jesus
You gave Yourself
And now I am giving you no less
Wanna give You everything
Nothing holding back Wanna show
You just what I mean
Doesn't matter what they say
No, I don't care about that
Have you ever doubted what you're made of?
Have you ever fed your fears
Have you ever seemed disconnected?
Has your laughter ever turned to tears?
It's alright, it's alright
You're not the only one
Have you ever made a silly faux pas?
Or kissed another dream goodby?
Have you ever found out when time ran out
You needed one more try?
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Chorus)
Oh yeah, it's okay, God'll bring in a brand new day
Another chance, another choice
Another hope, another possibility
All right, Ok, no more time for yestreday
Open your eyes and you'll find
It's a new day
So wake up, wake up from your bad dream
Ooo, you gotta clear your head
There is opportunity knowcking
When you're hangin by a thread
It's alright, a new sun's gonna rise
Oh yeah, come on!
(Chorus)
No more fear, it's a new day
No more worry, it's a new day
No more doubt, it's a new day
Just believe it, it's a new day
It doesn't matter where your life has been
Put your trust in Him
And let a new day begin, come on!
(Chorus)
Alright, okay
Don't you worry about yesterday
It doesn't matter what you've done wrong
It's gone, gone, gone, gone gone
Everything's gonna be alright
Another chance, another try
Open your eyes cause the sun is about to shine
Open your eyes and you'll find...
It's a new day, come on!
It's a new day, it's a new day
It's a new day, come on, come on
A simple offering is all that we bring
We give our lives, claim you as King
We are Your servants and before
You we bow
With every breath we make this vow
CHORUS
We will live to worship, give You praise
With all our hearts for all our days
Father we want to do what You
Created us to
We will live to woship You
Our every moment is a gift of
Your grace
We are all Yours, now and always
More than just words, o Lord
The cry of our hearts
Is to let our lives speak of how
Great you are
CHORUS
You are worthy, You are holy
You alone are deserving
You are holy, You are worthy
You alone are deserving
I wouldn't try to tell you
Everything is perfect in my world
I wouldn't try to kid you
What you see is just an ordinary girl
I'm not delusional
No...'cause I know what's real
So there is no confusion when I say
It's All Good (It's All Good)
Ask me to explain it
And I could (and I could)
I've got the love of my Lord
and I should (and I should)
Trust when I don't understand
Cause even when it seems that it's all bad
It's All Good
I wouldn't try to fool you
I'll be open with this heart of mine
I wouldn't try to trick you
Cause I know you'd see right through me everytime
I'm not invincible
No... but my faith is real
I'm hoping I'll convince you when I say
It's All Good (It's All Good)
Ask me to explain it
And I could (and I could)
I've got the love of my Lord
and I should (and I should)
Trust when I don't understand
Cause even when it seems that it's all bad
It's All Good
So when my days are hardest I refuse
To give up or give in instead I choose
To live with joy that I can't lose
So how can it be
I've been waiting all my life for this morning
Just to wake up next to you holding me
And your head is resting gently on my shoulder
Like you're whispering to me
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
So glad I found you
I'm in love with you
When we're leaving dreams and rolling back the covers
All at once we're getting ready for the day
It's when you look at me in the mirror while you're shaving
Before I go on my way, you say
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
You're the one I choose
‘Cause I'm in love
Love is joy and love is pain
It's kissing in the rain
It's doing dishes when it's late
Isn't it, baby
It's the art of compromise
It's hellos and long goodbyes
It's the picture of our lives
Isn't it crazy
So I'll call you when I get to where I'm going
And I'll tell everyone we know you said hello
And without fail they'll ask me if I miss you
Of course I do, you know I do
‘Cause I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
You're the one I choose
I'm in love
I'm in love with you
I'm in love with you
I love you just the same as I did the day
Pondering mysteries with a girlfriend over tazoberry tea
And an open Bible, yeah, there we were
Asking all deep questions about life, and love, and God
And how it all came to be
And why this, and why that, and why me
And why not, and why, why do I think this way?
I wonder why?
I wonder, wonder, wonder why?
I wonder, wonder why?
All of these questions echo in my mind
I wonder, wonder why?
Throughout the rest of our conversation
I kept coming back to one thing, I don't understand
Why would God leave all of heavens glory
Just to come and live and die as a man?
And why grace, and why mercy, why'd give it all for me
And why, and why does he love this way?
I wonder why?
I wonder, wonder, wonder why?
I wonder, wonder why?
All of these questions echo in my mind
I wonder, wonder why?
Why does he love me like he loves me?
All of these questions echo in my mind
I wonder, wonder why?
Every little thing that my mind can question
Just leads me back to one thing, Gods love for me
Every little thing that my mind can question
Just leads me back to one thing, Gods love for me
I wonder, wonder, wonder why?
I wonder, wonder why?
So many questions
Yeah, I wonder why your love is so amazing
I just can't believe it, ooo
It's so rich and wide, I wonder why?
Every little thing that my mind can question
Just leads me back to one thing, Gods love for me
Every little thing that my mind can question
You breathe and life begins. You speak, and my world
makes
sense. That's how it is, When it comes to you.
Your mercy has no end. You're more than
just a friend. It amazes me, You feel the way you
do. I believe in You, And nothing less. I believe in
You, Can't help myself. You're all the hope, The reason
that I need. I believe in You, Just because. I don't
need no one To prove Your love. For all that I have
seen, It's easier for me To believe in You. You are so
beautiful. You are the miracle, That dries the tears,
And heals the wounded heart. Oh. And it's so clear to
see, your hand
in everything, You were there for me, There to see
me through. I believe in You, And nothing
less. I believe in You, Can't help myself. You're all
the hope, The reason that I need. I believe in You.
Just because. I don't
need no one To prove Your love. For all that I have
seen, It's easier for me To believe in You. Through the
fire and through the rain, I know Your
love for me Will never, never change. Oh. I, I believe
in You. Oh. Oh yes, I do. I
believe, I believe. You're all the hope.
You're all I breathe. You are my love. You are my life.
Everything that i could ever need. I believe in You,
And nothing less. I
believe in You. Can't help myself You're
all the hope, The reason that I need. I
believe in You, Just because. I don't need no
one, To prove your love. For all the things I have
seen, It's easier for me, To believe in You.
Hungry I come to You
For I know You satisfy
I am empty but I know
Your love does not run dry
So I wait for You
So I wait for You
I'm falling on my knees
Offering all of me
Jesus You're all
This heart is living for
Broken I run to You
For Your arms are open wide
I am weary but I know Your touch
Restores my life
So I wait for You
How deep the Father's love for us,
how vast beyond all measure
That he should give his only son,
to make a wretch his treasure
How great the pain of searing loss,
the Father turned his face away
As wounds which mark the chosen one,
bring many sons to glory
Behold the man upon a cross,
my sin upon his shoulders
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held him there
until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life;
I know that it is finished
I will not boast in anything:
no gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ;
his death and resurrection
Why should I gain from his reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart:
his wounds have paid my ransom
To anyone who hides behind a smile
To anyone who holds their pain inside
To anyone who thinks they're not good enough
To anyone who feels unworthy of love
To anyone who ever closed the door
Closed their eyes and locked themselves away
You don't have to hide
You don't have to hide anymore
You don't have to face this on your own
You don't have to hide anymore
So come out, come out, come out wherever you are
Anyone who's tryin' to cover up their scars
To anyone who's ever made a big mistake
We've all been there, so don't be ashamed
Come out, come out and join the rest of us
You've been alone for way too long
You don't have to hide
You don't have to hide anymore
You don't have to face this on your own
You don't have to hide anymore, anymore, no
Tonight where are you
And if you feel like no one understands
Come to the one with scars on his hands
'Cause he knows where you are, where you've been
His scars will heal you if you let him
You don't have to hide
You don't have to hide anymore
You don't have to face this on your own
You don't have to hide anymore
You don't have to hide, no
You don't have to hide anymore
You don't have to face this on your own
You don't have to hide anymore
You don't have to
You don't have to hide
You don't have to hide
You don't have to hide
(verse 1)
It's still a mystery to me,
That the hands of God could be so small,
How tiny fingers reaching in the night,
Were the very hands that measured the sky,
(chorus)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Heaven's love reaching down to save the world,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Son of God, Servant King, Here with us,
You're here with us,
(verse 2)
Still a mystery to me,
How His infant eyes have seen the dawn of time,
How His ears have heard an angels' symphany,
But still Mary had to rock her Savior to sleep,
(chorus)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Heaven's love reaching down to save the world,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Son of God, Servant King, Here with us,
You're here with us,
(bridge)
Jesus the Christ born in Bethlehem,
A baby born to save, to save the souls of man,
(chorus)
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Heaven's offering sent down to save the world,
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Son of God, Servant, King Here with us,
(chorus)
Oh, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Heaven's offering sent down to save the world
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Son of God, Servant King, Here with us
You're here with us, You're here with us
You're in one of those seasons
Everything seems to go so wrong
Wish I could give you a reason
But even I'm barely holding on
When it's hard to find the answers
Let this be your hope
God only knows all your broken pieces
Only He knows what you're going through
God only knows what you hide inside
And He's holding onto you
God only knows, God only knows
You've had your fill of questions
There's so much that you need to know
Well I don't blame you for asking
But it's time to let go of control
And I'm sorry for what you're feeling
Please hold on to this hope
God only knows all your broken pieces
Only He knows what you're going through
God only knows what you hide inside
And He's holding onto you
God only knows, God only knows, oh
Come on, come on, He knows your pain
Come on, come on, hold onto faith
Come on, come on, you're on your way
My friend, your struggle has an ending day, yeah oh
God only knows all your broken pieces
Only He knows what you're going through
God only knows what you hide inside
And He's holding onto you, oh
God only knows all your broken pieces
Only He knows what you're going through
God only knows what you hide inside
And He's holding onto you
God only knows, only He knows
We laughed out loud 'til we cried
And the tears were sweet
Midnight melted to morning
A moment faded to memory
All these days just slip away through our fingers, so
Don't let go
Hold onto every moment
Always know
Hold on to every moment that you can
We move on with no regrets to our destiny
Held by the hands of the Father
We share His love and He leads us through
All these days
'Cause they slip away through our fingers, so
Don't let go
Hold onto every moment
Always know
Hold on to every moment that you can
Running through yesterday into tomorrow
Don't let it just drift away
Forget about tying the hands of time
Give every minute to the One who's given today
So don't you ever go
Don't let go
Hold onto every moment
And always know
All alone in an empty bed
Underneath fluorescent lights
All the pain rushing to my head
Cutting off my pulse tonight
Suddenly the road is closing in
I can't see anything
I'm blacking out, I'm barely breathing
It's an emergency, baby come rescue me
The rhythm of my heartbeat's breaking down
It's an emergency, baby drop everything
The rhythm of my heartbeat's breaking down
Want you here now, now, now, now, now.
Want you here now, now, now, now, now.
Want you here now, now, now, now, now.
Want you here now, now, now, now, now.
When I told you I was fine
All the tears running down my face
Ohhh baby baby was a lie
I should've never ever pushed you away
Cause I'm in critical condition and your love is all I need
Without you here, boy it's killing me
It's an emergency, baby come rescue me
The rhythm of my heartbeat's breaking down

Want you here now, now, now, now, now.
Is the face that I see in the mirror the one I want others to see?
Do I show in the way that I walk in my life the love that you've given to me?
My heart's desire is to be like you in all that I do, all I am
CHORUS:
Do they see Jesus in me?
Do they recognize your face?
Do I communicate your love and your grace?
Do I reflect who you are in the way I choose to be?
Do they see Jesus, Jesus in me?
Well it's amazing that you'd ever use me, but use me the way you will
Help me to hold out heart of compassion and grace
A heart that your Spirit fills
May I show forgiveness and mercy the same way you've shown it to me
CHORUS
Well I want to show all the world that You are the reason I live and breathe
So You'll be the one that they see when they see me
CHORUS
Eden was perfection a beautiful dream
There was no pretending everything was as it seemed
But she took the lust for life delivered it to man
Caving into the lies all the hiding began
That's part, part of who I am
I'm a child of Eden I'm a child of Eden, I have been
But I won't look back it's just my past
The story doesn't end for this child of Eden
I've had Eve's eyes of jealousy and shame
And Adam's disposition to worry and to blame
But I've had days when I found more in me
Forgiveness and mercy and I was truly free
I know, I know that's who I am
I'm a child of Eden I'm a child of Eden, I have been
But I won't look back it's just my past
The story doesn't end for this child of Eden
Oh, don't let me forget where I was without You
Don't let me forget the pain that You went through
Don't let me forget that I became Yours
When You spread out Your arms for me
I'm a child of Eden I'm a child, child of Eden, I have been
But I won't look back it's just my past
The story doesn't end for this child of Eden
I'm a child of Eden I'm a child of Eden, I have been
I won't look back it's just my past
The story doesn't end for this child of Eden
For this child of Eden
I'm a child of Eden
Child of Eden
Story doesn't end oh all right
I've got a secrect to tell,
A midnight confession.
I love the life that I lead,
But it's no obsession,
Because I'm waiting, anticipating
Watching for your return
You'll come and get me
You know I'm ready
Enjoy my stay,but you'll take me away
Like a thief in the night
Like a runaway train
Like a first class lightning fast hurricane
I'll keep my ear to the ground and my eyes to the sky
I'm ready now but somehow I know you'll take me by surprise
So I'll keep spreading the word to everybody
Until the masses have heard,about this party
Because i'm waiting anticipating
Watching for you return
You'll come and get me
You know I'm ready
Enjoy my stay but you'll take me away
Like a thief in the night
Like a runaway train
Like a first class, lightning fast hurricane
I'll keep my ear to the ground and my eyes to the sky
I'm ready now but some how I know you'll take me by surprise
I R.SV.P.'d on the invitation
I sent it care of the blood
That saved me on the spot
With the One who will come
Like a thief in the night
Like a runaway train
Like a first class lightning fast hurricane
I'll keep my ear to the ground and my eyes to the sky
I thought i did what's right
I thought i had the answer
I thought i chose the surest road
But that road brought me here
So i put up a fight
And told You how to help me
And just when i had given up
The truth has come clear
Chorus
For You know better than I
You know the way
I've let go, the need to know why
Cause You know better than I
If this has been a test
I cannot see the reason
But maybe knowin', I don't know
Is part of gettin through
I try to do what's best
And faith has made it easy
To see the best thing I can do
Is put my faith in You
Chorus
I saw one cloud and thought it was the sky
I saw a bird and thought that I could follow
But it was You who taught them how to fly
If I let you reach me, will You teach me
For You know better than I
You know the way
I've let go, the need to know why
I'll take what answers You supply
Well, I have never been a fashion queen
I wear dresses, I wear jeans
I?ve even been known to wear my heart on my sleeve
I?m just your average kid next door
A plain, simple mystery
I?m a self proclaimed Daddy?s girl
With my share of idiosyncrasies
But You love me for me
And I?m just fine, I see a smile from Heaven
My Father is proud and I know that I am simply
Fearfully and wonderfully made in You
You make it beautiful somehow
I?ve got old fashioned sensibilities
I believe chivalry still exists
And I can be a princess
Even when there ain?t no prince
So, what if I?m right brained
I?ve got half a mind to disagree
I would rather write the book
Than go and read the movie
So even when I may not rhyme
You always give me reason
I?m just fine, I see a smile from Heaven
My Father is proud and I know that I am simply
Fearfully and wonderfully made in You
You make it beautiful somehow
Got my elbows on the table
My mind up in the clouds
I know I?m getting better
I can almost hear You laugh out loud
The more I trust in You
The more I find
What You create is no mistake
It?s purpose by design
So, I?m just fine, I see a smile from Heaven
My Father is proud and I know that I am simply
Fearfully and wonderfully made in You
You make it beautiful somehow
Beautiful somehow
That is what you do
Beautiful somehow
I've had my forty days and forty nights at sea
I've had forty years in the wilderness, or so to speak
I've walked with sand from the ocean floor on my feet
To turn and say You left me
I'm a doubting Thomas needing to believe
I'm a perfumed sinner just like Magdalene
I am Judas kissing on Your cheek, eager to deceive
I am all of these
I cry, Father, Father, forgive me
You say, Child, I already have
You are Beautiful
Beautiful Redemption
You are Beautiful
Beautiful Redemption
I'm the guilty thief that's hanging by Your side
And my shame is dying with Your sacrifice
And all my fears come crashing down as I look in Your
eyes
I see paradise
Hallelujah (we all, we all, we all fall down)
Hallelujah (we all, we all, we all fall down)
Hallelujah (we all, we all, we all fall down)
Hallelujah (we all, we all, we all fall down)
You are Beautiful
Beautiful Redemption
You are Beautiful
2000 Decembers Ago
Did it feel like a night any different
Then at least a million before
Was there any rare expectation
Like there was some kind of somethin' in store
Did the sky have to hold back the thunder
Did the moon find new reasons to glow
Could the children somehow sense the wonder
2000 Decembers Ago
Were the sheep as amazed as the shepherds
At the new star that lite up the sky
Did the willow trees whisper excitement
To the rivers and streams passing by
Did the joy ricochet off the mountains
'Til it filled up the valleys below
Did all the world sense love abounding
2000 Decembers Ago
Was anyone able to look at the stable
And not see a child but a King
I wish I could hear back over the years
As heaven & nature sing, heaven and nature sing.
Did the walls of the barn start to tremble
With a glory they could not contain
Did anyone wake with the feeling
Of peace that they could not explain
Oh the love must have been overwhelming
As it warmed everyone in it's flow
For all of the earth is still telling
Of 2000 Decembers ago
Was anyone able to look at the stable
And not see a child but a king
I wish I could hear back over the years
As heaven and nature sing, heaven and nature sing
Oh the love must have been overwhelming
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say are you married
We'll so 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 made
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
A travelin' through this land of woe
And there's no sickness, toil or danger
In that bright land to which I go
I'm goin' home to see my mother
I'm goin' home, no more to roam
I am just a goin' over Jordan
I am just a goin' over home
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
A travelin' through this land of woe
And there is no sickness, toil or danger
Thou swell! Thou witty!
Thou sweet! Thou grand!
Wouldst kiss me pretty?
Wouldst hold my hand?
Both thine eyes are cute too;
What they do to me.
Hear me holler I choose a Sweet lollapaloosa in thee.
I'd feel so rich in a hut for two;
Two rooms and a kitchen I'm sure would do;
Give me just a plot of,
Not a lot of land,
What a glorious feeling I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds so dark above
The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase everyone from the place
Come on with the rain, I've a smile on my face
I'll walk down the lane with a happy refrain
And singin' just singin' in the rain
Why am I smilin' and why do I sing?
Why does December seem sunny as Spring?
Why do I get up each morning to start happy
And get up with joy in my heart?
Why is each new task a trifle to do?
Because I am living a life full of you
I'm singin' in the rain, just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling I'm happy again
I'm laughing at clouds so dark above
The sun's in my heart and I'm ready for love
Let the stormy clouds chase everyone from the place
Come on with the rain, I've a smile on my face
I'll walk down the lane with a happy refrain
Goodbye, I hate to see you go
But have a good time
So long, I'll miss you, dear I know
But have a good time
Have your flame began with your new love?
I'm setting you free
Dance and sing
Pretend that it's true love
Don't worry about me
I know the tears would only drive you farther away
Just go, forget that I'm alive
It's your holiday
When you're tired of being reckless and carefree
Remember that I'm waiting to welcome you home
I'm going to Illinois
Just as fast as I can
You New York women think
You'll make a fool of any man
Play all kinds of games
And you'll cheat if you can
Use love like a tool
Make a man a fool
What a beautiful motto
Got my money, that's it
How can you mind if I split
Going back where a woman
Really knows the way to treat a man
And people are friendly
Without no hidden plan
It's the best in the midwest
It's a real darn city full of
Good folks who come from home
And when I get back
I'll never roam far
From my little Chitown
Goodbye, farewell
I might see you later
Going to Chicago
Sorry but I can't take you
I come from Chitown
Going back to my town
Going to Chicago
Sorry but I can't take you
No use in crying
Tired of your lying
There ain't nothing in Chicago
That a monkey woman can do
I got to quit you
Can't make it with you
When you see me coming, baby
Raise your window high
Hide your window to the sky, yeah
When you see me coming, baby
Raise your window high
Catch me passing on the fly, yeah
But when you see me passing, baby
Hang your head and cry
search your soul and
Wonder why, yeah
Hurry, hurry down sunshine
And see what tomorrow brings
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Hurry, hurry, hurry down sunshine
And see what tomorrow brings
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Well, the sun went down
And tomorrow brought us rain
Tomorrow brought sorrow
You're so mean and evil
You do things you ought not do
My, you're a mean one
first time I've seen one
You're so mean and evil
You do things you ought not do
You used to be cool
Now find a new fool
Got my brand of honey
But I won't have to
Put up with you
Hate you and your town
That's why I got
To put you down
Ev'ry day I'll fall in love all over again with you
I'll never let our love grow old
I'll always keep it new
Ev'ry day I'll let you know that my Valentine is you
We'll live the sweetest story told
Like honeymooners do
And each thing I do I'll do to prove to you
That romance never will die
It may be a word or a sigh, a gift that I'll bring
And as the years go by
Ev'ry day I'll fall in love all over again with you
I'll never let our love grow old
I'll always keep it new
I'll never let our love grow old
I'll always keep it new
We'll live the sweetest story told
Like honeymooners do
And each thing I do I'll do to prove to you
That romance never will die
It may be a word or a sigh, a gift that I'll bring
And as the years go by
Ev'ry day I'll fall in love all over again with you
I'll never let our love grow old
Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you;
Embrace me, you irreplaceable you.
Just one look at you, my heart grew tipsy in me;
You, and you alone, bring out the Gypsy in me.
I love all the many charms about you;
Above all, I want my arms about you.
Don't you be a naughty baby;
(Frank Sinatra version:) Come to papa, come to papa, do,
(Ella Fitzgerald version:) Come to mama, come to mama,
My sweet embraceable you.
(Instrumental)
I love all the many charms about you;
Above all, I want my arms about you.
Don't you be a naughty baby;
(Frank Sinatra version:) Come to papa, come to papa, do,
(Ella Fitzgerald version:) Come to mama, come to mama,
Now, baby please don't go
Now, baby please don't go home
Baby, please don't go
Back to New Orleans
And get your cold ice cream
I b'lieve that a man done gone
I b'lieve that a man done gone
I b'lieve that a man done gone
To the county farm
Now, with his long chain on
Turn your lamp down low
You turn your lamp down low
Turn your lamp down low
I cried all night long
Now, baby please don't go
I begged you night befo'
I begged you night befo'
Begged you night befo'
Turn your lamp down low
Now, baby please don't go
I b'lieve my baby done lied
I b'lieve my baby done lied
I b'lieve my baby she lied
Says she didn't have a man
Now, while I had my time
'Fore I'd be yo' dog
'Play!'
I swore I'd leave your do'
'Fore I'd be yo' dog
I'd pack my trunk this mo'nin, baby
Go back to Rolling Fork, umm
I b'lieve I'll leave, here
I b'lieve I'll leave you here
I b'lieve I'll leaves you here
'Cause you got me way up here
An you don't feel my care
Now, baby please don't go
Oh baby, please don't go, umm
Now, baby please don't go
Back to New Orleans
Even though I love you so
I b'lieve you tryin' just leave me here
Why leave yo' daddy, here?
Why leave yo' daddy, here?
You got me way down here
Now she is gone, my heart is yearning
Her love is cold but mine keeps burning
All my eyes could weep but I've gotta keep them dry
'Cause the man ain't supposed to cry
The days are long, the night are madness
Where there was joy, now there is sadness
Torment and despair, they refused to pass me by
And a man ain't supposed to cry
Caught in a romance that never could be
Lost in a hopeless affair
Slave to her kiss will I ever be free?
I'd run away but where
If yesterday comes back to haunt me
The love I'd lost will ever taught me
Woman's right to tears will be her's until she'll die
But a man ain't supposed to cry
Slave to her kiss will I ever be free
I'd run away but where
If yesterday comes back to haunt me
The love I'd lost will ever taught me
Woman's right to tears will be her's until she'll die
But a man ain't supposed to cry
5 o'clock in the morning
And there is no one on the street but me
Well, it's 5 o'clock in the morning
And there is no one on the street but me
And I am evil, tired and lonely
And you're not where you ought to be
I'd be so happy, baby
If you are where you ought to be
This morning, I'd be so happy, baby
If you were where you ought to be
This morning, my whole world is empty, darling
Because you're not here with me
Don't think that I don't love you
'Cause I don't write you everyday
Don't feel that I don't need you
Because I haven't much to say
I love you and I need you
So bad that I could cry this morning
Until you are here with me, baby
