nananananana nananana ooo, yea (2x)

Do you feel you've been disowned
left outside
in the cold
and without a home
do you think that no one cares
that you're lost and alone
and without a prayer
don't give in to the lie that there's no one you can turn to
don't lose heart there is hope there is someone who will never desert you

CHORUS:
If this world is a lonely place for you
fall into the arms of love
if this world is a lonely place for you
there's a God that you can trust
he'll comfort you and lift you up

Nanananananana......etc

are you looking for a friend
who will stand by your side till the very end
someone who is always true to his word
be assured He won't turn from you
put your faith in the One who will never let you down
He has proven His love, open up to all He has for you

Chorus

he hears your cry
he sees your tears
he knows your pain
and all your fears
he waits for you
with open arms
he longs to live inside your heart
you'll never be alone again

Chorus
nananananana nanananana ooo yea (4x)

Sometimes I realize, when I gaze in the skies,
This spinning world is not my home.
A place of mystery, a land of destiny
Is where I know one day I'll go.
I dream of beauty I have never seen.
I know the arms of heaven wait for me
And yet I feel it's sweetness here and now
In this live on earth I have found.

Un lugar celestial, (a heavenly place)
Just a little bit of heaven sent from up above.
Un lugar celestial, (a heavenly place)
Where the presence of my father holds me in his love.
Un lugar celestial. (a heavenly place)

When all my skies are gray, I simply steal away
Into my secret hiding place.
When hearts are cold as ice, the breath of paradise
Blows warm and gentle on my face.
I know I need my time alone with him,
His healing waters flowing deep within.
Don't have to wish upon a distant star,
'cause the light of love fills my heart.



Un lugar celestial, (a heavenly place)
Just a little bit of heaven sent from up above.
Un lugar celestial, (a heavenly place)
Where the presence of my father holds me in his love.
Un lugar celestial. (a heavenly place)

Ooo ooo ooo (el cielo me llama) (heaven is calling me)
Ooo ooo ooo (caminando en las nubes) (walking on the clouds)
Ooo ooo ooo (dulce beso de libertad) (sweet kiss of liberty)
Ooo ooo ooo (nubes de gloria) (clouds of glory)
Un lugar celestial. (a heavenly place)
Just a little bit of heaven sent from up above.
Un lugar celestial, (a heavenly place)
Where the presence of my father holds me in his love.
Un lugar celestial, (a heavenly place)
Just a little bit of heaven sent from up above.
Un lugar celestial, (a heavenly place)
Where the presence of my father holds me in his love.
Un lugar celestial. (a heavenly place)

You are the One, there's no one else
Who lifts me up
and gives me water from the well
But there's a hole
that seems to drain it all away
And once again I'm left in fear
and doubt
When all my strength is crying out

CHORUS
So here I am again
Willing to be opened up and broken
Like a flower in the rain
Tell me what have I to do
To die and then be raised
To reach beyond the pain
like a flower in the rain

The evil wind it blows a storm
to rock my world
Just when I think I'm safe and warm
I'm led astray far too easily
It's always hard for me to say I'm wrong
Until I know I can't go on

REPEAT CHORUS

Lord, You have searched me
And know when I sleep and when I rise
You're familiar with all my ways
Even the darkness will shine
like the day
When you look into my heart

REPEAT CHORUS

There are days when I feel the best of me is ready to begin
Then they're days when I feel i'm letting go and soaring on the wind
Cause i've learned in laughter or in pain how to survive

I get on my knees, I get on my knees
There I am before the love that changes me
See I don't know how but there's power when i'm on my knees

I can be in a crowd or by myself or almost anywhere
When I feel there's a need to talk with God, he is Emmanuel
When I close my eyes, no darkness there
There's only light

I get on my knees, I get on my knees
There I am before the love that changes me
See I don't know how but there's power in the blue skies, in the midnight
When i'm on my knees

I get on my knees, I get on my knees
There I am before the love that changes me
See I don't know how but there's power when i'm on my
Oh, When i'm on my
When i'm on my knees

How the mind can wander
How the heart can stray
Suddenly you're on the edge of darkness
How it makes me ponder
How I'm led away
Down a path that leaves me worn and tarnished

Battling with the will within
I have known all along
That I should lean on you
Cause i'm never strong enough to fight it on my own

Chorus:
Shelter me
The ways of the world are at my feet
Shelter me
From the desires that decieve
you are the fortress i need
Shelter me

How the mind can alter
How hte heart can change
When you set your sights on holiness
and though at times you falter
It's the only way
You can find a place of peace to rest

Safe from danger surrounding me
Safe from looming defeat
When temptation is at my door
Lord, I need a harbor be my soul's retreat

Repeat Chorus

You will never leave me stranded fending for myself
When the enemy advances you are there to help
enough to fight it on my own

Repeat chorus

In the desert of my shame
I have found myself to blame
Now I thirst for innocence
And Your blood is there to quench

Pour Your life into my soul
Let the cleansing waters flow
Make me white as snow

Hear me as I pray
Wash my sins away
Draw me in Your grace
Baptize me
As my lips confess
Fill this emptiness
With Your holiness
Baptize me

Touch my eyes and give me sight
Father bathe me in Your light
At Your feet I'll always be
Until the day Your face I'll see

Let Your words consume my heart
Lead me to the deepest part
And the healing starts

Hear me as I pray
Wash my sins away
Draw me in Your grace
Baptize me
As my lips confess
Fill this emptiness
With Your holiness
Baptize me

Hear me as I pray
Wash my sins away
Draw me in Your grace
Baptize me
As my lips confess
Fill this emptiness
With Your holiness
Baptize me

[spoken]
There is a river of life flowing from the throne of God
There is One who came by water and blood
There is a Spirit who testifies to this
Anyone who believes in the Son has this testimony in his heart
Behold the Lamb of God who also washes away the sins of the world
Baptize me
[/spoken]

Hear me as I pray
Wash my sins away
Draw me in Your grace
Baptize me
As my lips confess
Fill this emptiness
With Your holiness
Baptize me

Hear me as I pray
Wash my sins away
Draw me in Your grace
Baptize me
As my lips confess
Fill this emptiness
With Your holiness
Baptize me

Hear me as I pray
Wash my sins away
Draw me in Your saving grace
Baptize me
Baptize me
Baptize me
Baptize me

Crying out to be freed

Lord, you know my heart
And all my desires
And the secret things I'll never tell
Lord you know them well
Though I may be young,
I see and understand
That at times like sheep
We go astray and things get out of hand

Chorus:
So I promise to be true to you
To live my life in purity
As unto you
Waiting for the day
When I hear you say
Here is the one I have created just for you

Until then O lord
I will be content
Knowing that true love
Will come some day
And will only come from you
Cause I have seen the suffering that loneliness can cause
When we choose to give our love away
With out a righteous cause

Chorus

Sometimes you're weak and weary
Feels like your heart is breaking
Nobody close enough to ease your mind
Seems like the night is falling
The darkness has you crawling
You wonder if you'll ever reach the light

But you've got to know
That the Father's always there by your side

Chorus:
We will overcome
Heartache and sorrow
We will overcome
All the pain in the world
We will rise above
The cares of tomorrow
We will overcome

We all get disillusioned
With all of life's confusion
Sometimes we simply have to walk by faith
The road may not be easy
But there is a hope and healing
Remember help is just a prayer away

So don't be afraid
He will give us all the strength that we need

Chorus

When we struggle
Through the hard times
There's a peace that comes from the Lord
Just remember He is faithful
So believe and trust in Him more

And don't be afraid
He will give us all the strength that we need

Chorus

Before the winter chill has gone,
The springtime rivers rise.
Before the setting sun has disappeared,
The moon is rising high.
And time waits for no man;
Seasons come and go.
In the midst of an ever-changing world,
This one thing I know:

You've got to live every moment
As though it was your last,
Before the thief of always
Steals tomorrow from your grasp.
Before the chance to know His love
Has somehow passed you by,
Let your heart reach out, right here, right now,
For the Lord to touch your life.

Before the trees have shed
Their autumn gold to leave the barest bark,
The frost beneath our feet will sparkle bright,
Like crystals under the sky.
And time waits for no man;
Seasons come and go.
In the midst of an ever-changing world,
This one thing I know:

You've got to live every moment
As though it was your last,
Before the thief of always
Steals tomorrow from your grasp.
Before the chance to know His love
Has somehow passed you by,
Let your heart reach out, right here, right now,
For the Lord to touch your life.

Don't ever doubt that God can lift us high.
Allow the flame of Heaven to be our guide.

Live every moment
As though it was your last,
Before the thief of always
Steals tomorrow from your grasp.
Before the chance to know His love
Has somehow passed you by,
Let your heart reach out, right here, right now,
For the Lord to touch your life. Oh...

Chorus:
God so loved the world
That he gave his one and only son
That who so ever believes in him
Will not perish but have everlasting life

Verse 2:
I try so hard to find the words to say
To let you know how great is this God to whom I pray
Nothing can, nor ever, will compare
To the peace that flows in your soul
When He is living there
Oh, I know
You've been through so much
It's hard to contemplate
Letting go
And reaching out for his trust
But I know the simple truth
That love is here for you
So take Him at His word
And see what He can do

Chorus

The promise is yours and mine
Take hold of His love for the rest of your life

But it's time to take a step of faith
Be prepared for Jesus' love to carry you one way

Chorus

(God so loved the world) 4x

He gave his...
He gave his one and only son...
If you just believe
If you just believe
Love will set you free
He loves you so much
He loves you so much
Just believe
Just believe...

Please forgive me
If I come on too strong
I get a little anxious
When I talk about God's love
Hold me back now
Stop me if I start to preach
'Cause I don't want to be the one
To push you out of reach
The way to give love
Is how you live love
That is what I'll do
You cannot fight it
You can't deny it
Love will get to you

Chorus:
Don't wanna get up in your face
Don't wanna put the pressure on
Don't wanna make you run away
Just wanna show you love
Don't wanna beg you to believe
Don't wanna take you for a ride
Don't wanna sell you anything
Just wanna show you love
Show you love
Just wanna show you love

I won't convince you
With anything I say
But maybe you will see His love
In how it is portrayed
An act of kindness
A loving sacrifice
Simple little things that have
The power to change your life
There's no surprises
And no disguises
Just the blessed truth
No obligation
No complication
Just a gift for you.

Chorus

Father, do you hear me?
Cuz I know I hear you
I waited for the answers
While sitting here in my room
I dance to the rythyn
And moved by myself
No one could see through me
Or hear the words I felt..

-CHORUS-
Little voice inside - keeps calling
Little voice inside - it cries
Little voice inside - keeps calling
Little voice - oh won't you be my guide?

I sometimes hear the cho
The pattern of my cry
I sometimes feel the pulling
From a sound that's deep insisde
Quiet are the whispers
And silent are my eyes
No one hears me
That little voice inside you see...

-CHORUS-
Little voice inside - keeps calling
Little voice inside - it cries
Little voice inside - keeps calling
Little voice - oh won't you be my guide?

Who makes
The sun light up my shadows
When the darkness tries to follow me?
Who makes
The air that brings me life
So I can breathe the love that's given to me?

You make ev'rything good,
Ev'rything wonderful.
You grace my days
And heaven fills my view.
Let's forever sing.
You make ev'rything pure,
Ev'rything beautiful.
You make me see the only thing that's true:
It's You,
It's You.

Who makes
The waters of my sorrow part
And leads the gladness into my heart?
Who makes
The rivers run that wash away
And clean my soul to make a new start?

You make ev'rything good,
Ev'rything wonderful.
You grace my days
And heaven fills my view.
Let's forever sing.
You make ev'rything pure,
Ev'rything beautiful.
You make me see the only thing that's true:
It's You.

You hung the moon;
You placed the stars that shine Your love for me.
I hope all that I do
Will show reflections of You.
All I do, all for You, shine Your love through me.

You make ev'rything good,
Ev'rything wonderful.
You grace my days
And heaven fills my view.
Let's forever sing.
You make ev'rything pure,
Ev'rything beautiful.
You make me see the only thing that's true,
It's You, it's You, it's You.
You're ev'rything pure and beautiful.

Where once the moon
Was just a rock spinning in the sky
Where once the stars
Were only tiny points of light

Now the moon looks like
It's heaven's shining pearl
Now those stars -- they look like
Windows into another world

Look what Love has done to me
Look what Love has done
There's poetry in all I see
Look what Love has done
And my heart is dancing through each day
My soul is running free
Look what Love has done to me.

Where once each breath
Was just a sigh of aching emptiness
Where once I hardly felt
The beating in my chest

Now each breath feels like
A precious kiss of life
Now inside me beat the
Wings of a thousand butterflies

(Chorus 2):
Look what Love has done to me
Look what Love has done
This must be how it's meant to be
Look what Love has done
And my heart is dancing through each day
My soul is running free
Look what Love has done to me

And I can't tell
Was that a violin, or did You say something
Was that lightning striking where I stand
Or did You just reach out and take my hand

You decided long ago
To let me in to your deepest soul
You have given me
A pride of place
Then somehow you let it fade away

I know you so well
And I can tell
When you've been hiding something from me
Just let it go
Let my love flow
Let it bring you release

Chorus
I have come
To breathe new life
Into the heart of a child of mine
I have come
To give you peace
So lift your head and believe

You were made
In a beautiful way
Born to be holy
And sure of your faith
Something inside you
Has led you astray
Now you're locked in a struggle
And it won't go away

I know you have been
Down on your knees
I saw you cryin' for mercy
Well how can I help
When you're still holdin' on
To somethin' more precious than me

Chorus 2
I have come
To breathe new life
Into the heart of a child of mine
I have come
To lift you up
To set you free so you believe

It's all about total surrender
It's all about total surrender
It's all about total surrender
Givin' it up when the goin' gets tough
Givin' it up when the goin' gets rough

What have I to offer
To a world in need
Yet for some unknown reason
You have chosen me

Lord You've set my journey
You've prepared the way
Still, I'm desperate for the words to say

All I am is willing
All I have is in Your hands

Speak for me, this my plea
Say the words I can't express
Sing for me a heavenly melody
That the people will be blessed
Speak for me

Every brief encounter
That You send my way
Is it just to show the love You gave me?
I see their troubled faces
A hunger deep inside
Lord, I depend on You to touch their lives

Light what burns within me
Let Your truth shine through my life

(Bridge 3 & 4)

Sing for me, set me free
And they will see Your holiness
Speak for me

('Cause Your love will lead them on to heaven's gate
Where they can look upon Your face)

Bridge 6

You're all I have to offer to a world in need.

Chorus
I see the glory
There's glory all around in the world
And glory has been found -it surrounds me
And opens my mind and heart

Looking for a meaning
Wandering around with no direction
I'd rush to take that next big step
To make it that much more ahead

I went for the horizon
And I found the glory of Your love

Chorus

We've been through stormy weather
Now I know Your love's with me forever
You're here to take that step with me
You're by my side eternally

I went for the horizon
And I found the glory of Your love

Chorus

I went for the horizon
And I found the glory of Your love

Chorus (x2)

Glory Hallelujah (x2)

It's not a mysterious wind, and
It's not the thunder willing in
It's the spirit that I feel within that's calling
I understand but I can't explain
Now I see love in a different way
And with the sing leap the faith
I'm falling
Into Your loving arms
Showing no resistance
There's a peace that flows over me

Sweet surrender
Love me tender
You have captured my desire and heart completely
Sweet surrender
Yours forever
I will gladly give my all to You
Receive me
Oh Lord I am Yours

Your love of us has no escape
But I don't feel the need to run away
My heart has found a place to stay here with You
Nothing else could satisfy
The deep void that I had inside
From all the multiple battles I had lived through

Now here in Your loving arms
I have gone the distance
I will rest my soul in Your embrace

Sweet surrender
Love me tender
You have captured my desire and heart completely
Sweet surrender
Yours forever
I will gladly give my all to You
Receive me

'Cause I have gone the distance
I will rest my soul in Your embrace

Sweet surrender
Love me tender
You have captured my desire and heart completely
Oh Lord I am Yours
Oh Lord I am Yours

Heart pounds
to the sound
comin' after me
Step back
what is that?
It's a mystery
Is it somethin'
Probably nothing
Still I find a way
to scare my self
'till I remember
this all feels familiar
And I know better.

CHORUS
They are only paper tigers following me
In the wild imagination of the make believe
And there's a fighter a survivor
Arising in me
I'm not afraid of paper tigers

Night brings
creepy things
and I hide away
False fears disappear
In the light of day
The sun is rising
I'm realizing
The only thing to fear is fear itself
Now I'm certain
That my best of burden
Isn't worth the worry

REPEAT CHOROUS
...and I won't run away from Paper Tigers...

I never thought of what I could be
Where I'd go
What I'd do

I never thought of what I should be
Until you

You came into my life
When I was all alone
You came down
And saved my soul

Chorus
When I found my world was crashing
And I thought I'd lost my passion
You came and laid a hand
On this little girl
When I thought my dreams were fading
I looked up and saw you waiting
You reached your hand down
And you made my world

I never thought of where I might be
If I turned away from you

I never thought of all I would need
Without you

You came into my life
When I was all alone
You came down
And saved my soul

Chorus

You came down
When I was all alone
You came down
You came down
And saved my soul

Chorus (x2)

Oh, you made my world
You came and changed it all

A new day was beginning
And all the birds were singing
The sun was shining up in the sky
Sometimes the world around me
Is so awesome it astounds me
It leaves me feeling mystified

Oh I just can't believe
All the beauty I see
It takes my breath away
Sometimes I've gotta say



You're my God
What You've created
So many miracles in every day
You're my God
It's so amazing
It's so incredible I've gotta say
You're my God

I can't even imagine
How He made it happen
To see the silver moon from afar
It's almost unbelievable
It's truly inconceivable
To think of all the billions of stars

When I'm watching a rose
How it naturally grows
Just takes my breath away
There's just one thing to say




Oh all the gifts You've given me
Oh what You do's a mystery, just to be,
You got me falling to my knees
Oh I just can't believe

You're my best friend
In spite of flaws
I can't believe You're always there
You hear my prayers
You are my rock
You harbor truth
I can see you're light shine everywhere
Its all around me

You never judge me for my faults
Your love is unconditional
Without you I don't know where I'd be

Chorus
Jesus is...the sweet sweet love
of my soul
Jesus is...the only thing
making me whole
He's everything to me
All I desire to be
That's what Jesus is
That's what Jesus is

Sweet comforter
You ease my mind
Always beside me constantly
You never leave me

And You know me oh so well
Better than I know myself
And Your word is all that I believe

Chorus

Your the spark of heavens light
The stars that shine at night
Here with You
It feels like home

Jesus Is...the healer of my heart
when it breaks
Jesus is...Fogiveness
when I make a mistake
He's all that I believe
He's everything I need
Thats what Jesus is

Chorus

He's all that I believe
He's every breath I breathe
That's what Jesus is
That's what my Jesus is

I know I can be a little stubborn
sometimes

You might say,
A little righteous andtoo proud

I was lookin' for a way to compromise
Thinkin' maybe I could work things out

I thought I had all the answers
Never givin' in

But You loved me all along
And I admit I was wrong

(CHORUS)

All I know is I'm lost without You
I'm not gunna lie

I could never be strong without You
I need you be my side

If I ever thought we'd never be together
'Cause of all my foolish pride

Don't know what I'd do
I'm lost without You

I keep tryin' to find my way
But all I know is

I'm lost without You
I keep tryin' to face the day
I'm lost without You

You're the only one
who gets rid of these blues

When I fall You'll catch me every time

The way You give me clarity
when I'm comfused

Just to hear Your voice
can ease my mind

Oh my world's so cold at night
When I wander far away

Only You can make it right
No I'm not too proud to say

(CHORUS)

I keep tryin' to find my way
But all I know is
I'm lost without You

I keep tryin' to face the day
I'm lost without You

I know that You can hear me now
Make the pain just go away

Stop all the all the tears from
running down my face

Lord
(CHORUS)

I keep tryin' to find my way
But all I know is
I'm lost without You

I keep tryin' to face the day
I'm lost without You

[Verse 1]
Sometimes I'm sadden by the choices I make
So many tears I have cried
Got what I wanted but the dream seemed to fade
Still feeling unsatisfied

But you saved me
Forgave me, how you've shown
You'd never leave me all alone
Oh, Lord

[Chorus]
Everytime I lose my place
The beauty of your grace
Shines a light so I can see
Everytime I lose my way
You make it all okay
I feel your love surrounding me

You are here, calming my fears
You lead me back with your sweet song,
You're where I belong

[Verse 2]
You're always there to guide me through my mistakes,
You've never once, left my side
The way you pick me up each time my heart breaks
The way you always stood by

I'd feel you, you'd move right through my heart
We never really were apart
Oh, Lord

[Chorus]

I will always put my faith in you
'Cause I know you understand
I will try my best to follow you
'Cause I know you've got a plan

Just to have you in my life
Is far more than enough
You are everywhere around me now
I can feel your precious love

All the wonders of your ways
I'm constantly amazed
How you make me safe and sound

Its the way you lift me up
You've given me so much
Only you would never let me down

You are here, calming my fears
You lead me back with your sweet song,
You're where I belong.

People think I've got it all together
With the show of my sweet, sweet smile
But do they know if I've been happy ever
Pull up a chair 'cause this may take a while
Okay, so here's the thing

I've got my bad days
And some are even worse
I can be a blessing
And you know, I can be a curse

I tremble at rejection
I'm scared to be alone
Sometimes I may be selfish
But I always make it home

CHORUS
This is the real me
Am I the girl that you want me to be
This is the real me
With flaws and fears of intimacy
This is the real me

Can you face it
Can you feel it
Can you take it
Can you deal with
The real me

So now you see that I am far from perfect
I will fall and I will make mistakes
But I am here and this has taken courage
Will you abandon me or will you stay

I know that I'm demanding
And sometimes insecure
I think I've got the answers
But then I'm not so sure

I sometimes need attention
A little more than I should
But there is a part of me
That give the whole world if I could

CHORUS

Now that I've gone and let you in
And I no longer will pretend
Will you please still be my friend

CHORUS

Come on in

Sometimes it feels as though my life is like a test
With expectations that i've got to be the best
Feels like everybody's always watchin'
One little slip gets people talkin'
So many unkind words are spoken
You see my heart is hurting
But it's still open

i have no other choice, but to let you see so

Come on in 'cuz i know i can take it
You can throw those stones
Even tho i may be fragile
You're not gonna see me shatter

'Cuz i know who i am and i won't fake it
I'm gonna take a stand
'Cuz it's my faith that keeps me strong
That is all
The light is on
In my glass house
In my glass house

So tomoro morning when we step outside our castle
We think before we let the judgement calls unravel
Our Savior said to love one onother
Why must we go on hurting one another
Though it may be easier to run and hide

I'm gonna let you in
'Cuz i can take it
Even though i maybe fragile
You're not gonna see me shatter, no

'Cuz i know who i am and i won't fake it
I'm gonna take a stand
'Cuz it's my faith that keeps me strong
The light is on

May i always find a way to give compassion
And remember how it hurt
When someone else's world is crashing
Lord, i pray for love, yeah

Come on in 'cuz i know i can take it
You can throw those stones
Even though i may be fragile
You're not gonna see me shatter
No

'Cuz i know who i am and i won't fake it
I'm gonna take a stand
'Cuz it's my faith that keeps me strong
The light is on
In my glass house

Come on in 'cuz i know i can take it
You can throw those stones
Even though i may be fragile
You're not gonna see me shatter
No

'Cuz i know who i am and i won't fake it
I'm gonna take a stand
'Cuz it's my faith that keeps me strong
And it's all
In my glass house

Welcome

If the wind will blow
I will hold you hand
When the sun won't shine,
I will never fade away
When the tears appear
To wipe away you smile
Don't be afraid, I'll be here

Chorus:
I will be your friend, who will always care
I'll be the first to catch you if ever you should fall
And hold you in my arms.
I will be your friend

If you lose your place
In life's crazy race
You can make it through
Cause I will run with you
We'll always pray and
Believe in our hearts
That God will be here by our side

Chorus

God knows our imperfections
And he loves us anyway
A closer friend than I could ever be
But a little piece of heaven
I will do my best to bring
You'll never have to search again

Chorus

I will be your friend, one who always cares
I'll be a little closer when you feel so far away
And hold you in my arms
I will be your friend

How I wonder why
Didn't you feel something?
Wasn't your heart jumping?
Didn't you have chills running down your spine?

Weren't you infatuated?
Weren't you illuminated?
Didn't you hear music playing?
I wonder why

I saw clouds breaking
Felt my whole world changing
So how could you just say it
"Goodbye"

Didn't it mean something
Surely you felt something
How could there be nothing
In your eyes

Come on and say something
Baby, you gotta do something
How could there be nothing
There inside
I wonder why

Footsteps down the hall
Another tear on my face
Words you'll never say
Race through my mind

Didn't it mean something
Surely you had to feel something
How could there be nothing
In your eyes

Come on and say something
Baby, you gotta do something
Don't leave me here all by myself
Didn't it mean something
Surely you had to feel something
How could there be nothing
In your eyes

I saw clouds breaking
Felt my whole world changing
So how could you be saying
"Goodbye"

I hear daily news
People cry out for their freedom
My eyes turn to You
Don't they know Lord
You can lead them

CHORUS
If we all pray for peace
Change will come I believe
As we face the unknown
God heals us when we're broken
He is there, use your voice
Reach for Him
Make a choice
None of us are alone
Don't leave your heart unspoken

God heals us when we're broken
Don't leave your heart unspoken

I pray, save our souls
Help us find a new direction
We're lost in the cold
Let Your arms be our protection

CHORUS

God heals us when we're broken
Don't leave your heart unspoken

Out of the dark
Into the light
He is there for us
With all His might
He has the answers
He hears your prayers
Turn every corner and you'll find Him there

Don't leave your heart unspoken

CHORUS

God heals us when we're broken
Don't leave your heart unspoken

The first breath
A new sky
You hung the stars
And placed the sunrise
Painted colors
Yellow and green
And every other in between

From the dust
Became flesh and bone
The greatest gift I've ever known

Chorus
I'm alive
I'm alive
I feel Your arms around me
Your eyes of love surround me
I'm alive
To shine in pure perfection
And wake up every morning
In Your light
I'm so glad
I'm alive

Bare feet
My first steps
And new dreams
In every sunset
What a gift
That You give me every day
But what a price You had to pay

Chorus

Life traveling on
And when my time has come
To say farewell
From dust to dust
But You bring me safely home

I take my first breath
I see the new sky
I hear the angels
I see my Father's eyes
And I know, I know

Chorus

You will make the change
And you'll begin today
You will turn around and
See the world another way
You'll stand up tall
And move with grace
And you will see yourself
In every face, every face

You'll open up your eyes
Like the sunrise
Your heart will fly and you'll realize
What a gift is to be alive, be alive
Be alive.

Chorus
Shine...Shine on
Shine...Shine on
On and on

You will feel the heat
So soft, so sweet
You will listen long and well
Before you humbly speak
You'll walk that mile
Be the first to smile
To reach out you hand and
Reconcile, reconcile

And in the end you'll make amends
Be a true friend, strong enough to bend
Be grateful when you start again,
Start again
When you start again.

Chorus

In the chill of the night
While the moon gently sleeps
I wander in silence on snow-laden
streets
As I gaze into sunsets over silhouette
mountains
I am amazed that the God who made
all this, made me

As my eyes were open I began
to believe
The mystery of Christmas was truly
revealed
A great host of angels came calling
to me
Taking me back to the pure sacred
peace

Chorus
Singing la, la, lalala, lalalala, lalalalalala
There's a savior born to us today
Singing la, la, lalala, lalalala, lalalalalala
The Messiah, Christ the Lord

In the light of the angels surrounding
my soul
I know for certain I'm never alone
Now let all of your children feel the
love that you gave
And in honor of you give it away

Chorus

*From the album CHRISTMAS*

'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the once I used to know
Where the tree tops glisten
and children listen to hear
sleigh vells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas cards I write.
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmas'es be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas cards I write.
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmas'es be white -

We hang the lights, have snowball
fights
And sing our favorite tunes
All of these are memories
I make each year with you

We decorate the douglas together
And watch "It's A Wonderful Life"
I look forward to every December
Because you're always here by my side

It wouldn't be Christmas without you
The season would just come and go
The holiday cheer would all disappear
Along with the sleigh bells and snow
Santa and eight little reindeer
Might as well pass on through
'Cause baby it wouldn't be Christmas
Without you

*From the album CHRISTMAS*

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 leads
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

Oh, Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light leads
I'll be home for Christmas
If only in my dreams

If only in my dreams...

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 phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two!
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you
You...you...you...you...

O little town of Bethlehem
How still we see thee lie
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep
The silent stars go by
Yet in the dark streets shineth
The everlasting Light
The hopes and fears of all the years are met in thee tonight

For Christ is born of Mary and gathered all above
While mortals sleep, the angels keep
Their watch of wondering love
Oh morning stars together proclaim the holy birth
And praises sing to God the King
And peace to men on earth

How silently, how silently the wonderous gift is given
So God imparts to human hearts the blessings of His heaven
No ear may hear His coming but in this world of sin
Where meeks souls will receive Him still
The dear Christ enters in

O holy Child of Bethlehem
Descend to us we pray
Cast out our sin and enter in
Be born in us today
We hear the Christmas angels
The great glad tidings tell
O come to us, abide with us
Our Lord Emmanuel (Emmanuel...Emmanuel)

Feliz Navidad

Prospero ao y felicidad

You in the mirror
I've been spying on you
I see a girl, whose world
Is broken in two
I get the picture
That you grew up too fast
You've got your dreams, it seems
And more than you asked

Oo you're fading
Oo you're wearing thin
Oo you're breaking

Chorus:
Escuchame - let me save you some pain
Escuchame - I will show you the way
Mirame - you will be me someday
Baby don't make the same mistakes...escuchame

I've got a secret
That'll carry you through


There is a God who loves
To look after you
Hey little sister
Don't worry no more
Just come with me, you see
I've been there before

Oo the heartbreaks
Oo the lessons learned
Oo I know what it takes

Repeat chorus

Bridge:
Words of wisdom
Can you hear them?

Repeat chorus

Words and music by jaci velasquez and mark heimermann

When I'm a sparrow in winter
You are the seed I find
When I'm a heart with a splinter
Your whole blood, keeps me alive
If I could call you a color
You'd be the deepest of blues
If I had my pleasure of anything
You'd be the one that I'd choose

Chorus:
Now it's crystal clear I'm falling for You
Now that I can see the mysteries revealed
Now I'm coming clean
I can feel my fears release
Now it's crystal clear I'm falling for You

I'm soft like clay
Your hands they mold me
For You, I would run away
Just to hear You calling out my name

Chorus

Bridge:
I'm broken and empty
Without You, I'm blinded
I need You,
I need You near me, I need You near me

Oooh...I'm falling

Chorus
Please catch me, I'm falling for you
Please catch me, I'm falling for you
Please catch me, I'm falling for you
Please catch me, I'm falling for...

Chorus:

Everytime I fall a little bit harder
Everytime I fall a little bit further
Everytime I fall
I fall right back into Your Arms

Everytime I try
To explain the reason why
I have let You down
I fall to the ground

What is it You see in me
That makes You believe
No matter how far I stray
I'll still find the way

Just when I think I'm not strong enough
You reach out to me and You lift me up

(Repeat chorus)

Time and time again
When I think I've reached the end
It's Your voice I hear
That draws me near

I don't know what makes You stay
When I act this way
No matter what we've been through
I can turn to You

Just when I think I'm not strong enough
You reach out to me and You lift me up

(Repeat chorus)

You find the beauty in my imperfections
The guiding light in all my misdirection
And when I think You've finally given up
You fill my heart with unconditional love

Everytime I fall
I fall right back into Your Arms

(Repeat chorus 4 x)

Why do I think of you
Far beyond my reach
Why can't I comprehend
The love you have for me
God of all the universe
Of earth and sky and sea
Your desire to own my heart
Is such a mystery

Chours:
You're not there
Way out there
Wandering in your great unknown
You are here ever near
In my heart you've found a home
You are living
You are breathing
I can feel your presence in me

All the prayers to the saints
Every votive burned
But now I know from within
Your loving voice is heard

You sent your spirit
The promised one
To be with me forever

(Repeat Chorus)

You are living
You are breathing
You are loving
I am needing

From the moment You opened up my eyes
I have seen the world in a different light
From the dawn to the setting sun
I am overwhelmed
By all that You have done

Adore, Adore, Adore
Jesus I adore You,
Adore,
Adore, Adore, Adore, adore
Jesus, I adore You
And I lay my life before You, O Lord

There's a union of two becoming one
Deep inside my heart
I know that I belong
You have given everything to me
The least that I can do
Is give it back to You

And all I am and ever will be
Is for You, Lord
And everything within me cries

Adore, Adore, Adore
Jesus I adore You,
Yes I Adore You
And I lay my life before You
Adore, Adore, Adore, Adore
Jesus, I adore you

And I lay my life before You
I long to love and adore You
I lay my life before You, O Lord
I adore You

He's the sunlight in my sky, He's the moon that shines at night
He's the rainbow over me, the river running to the sea
The music and the poetry, the beauty that my eyes can see
Still His love means so much more to me

Chorus:
He's my savior and everything within me
Wants to tell the world it's true
He's my savior if only you could open up your heart
You would know Him, too

He's the fire in my soul, He melts my heart
and makes me whole
He's the air upon my breath
the gentle touch of holiness
Just for me He gave His life and
in that moment paid the price
For all I've ever done and that is why

Chorus:
He's my savior and everything within me
Wants to tell the world it's true
He's my savior the moment that you open up your heart
You will know Him, too

Bridge:
I can take you there but I can't cross the line
It's my deepest prayer that this will be your time

I will vow, yeah
I will vow, yeah

Just for me He gave His life and in the moment paid the price
For all I've ever done and that is why

Chorus:
He's my savior my best friend
He's my savior He's my savior, He saved me
He's my savior and everything within me wants to
Tell the world it's true
He's my savior the moment that you open up your heart
You will know Him, too

*From the Album |Crystal Clear|*

You know my motives
You know my heart
No matter what I'm doin'
You see my secrets
Right through the dark
Who do I think I'm foolin'?
You watch me runnin'
You let me hide
'Cause You know where I'm goin' to
Seeking me
Reaching me
Keeping me in Your care, Lord
I can't escape it

1st Chorus:
You don't miss a thing I do
You see every move I make
But You know everything I need
You don't let a care get by You
You don't miss a thing, do You?

When my heart's broken
You dry my tears
'Cause You know what I'm feeling
When I am frozen
You melt my fears
Your gentle love is healing
You feed my hunger
You quench my thirst
'Cause You are my provider
Leading me
Teaching me
Keeping me in Your care, Lord
I can't escape it

2nd Chorus:
You don't miss a thing I do
You see every move I make
You know everything I need
You don't let a care get by You
You hear every word I say
I will never go unnoticed
'Cause You don't miss a thing, do You?
(repeat)

You don't miss a thing... no, no ,no...

As long as stars shine down from heaven
And the rivers run into the sea
Till the end of time forever
You're the only love I'll need

In my life You're all that matters
In my eyes the only truth I see
When my hopes and dreams have shattered
You're the one that's there for me

When I found You I was blessed
And I will never leave You
I need You

Imagine me without You
I'd be lost and so confused
I wouldn't last a day without
You there to see me through
Imagine me without You
Lord You know it's just impossible
Because of You it's all brand new
My life is now worthwhile
I can't imagine me without You

When You caught me I was falling
You're love lifted me back on my feet
It was like You heard me calling
And You rushed to set me free

When I found You I was blessed
And I will never leave You
I need You

Imagine me without You
I'd be lost and so confused
I wouldn't last a day without You there to see me
through
Imagine me without You
Lord You know it's just impossible
Because of You it's all brand new
My life is now worthwhile
I can't imagine me without You

You are the reason
For blue in the sky
Yes, you are the reason why
Snow covers winter
And melts into spring
And rivers meet the sea

God is here for you
And you were made for him
He'll give you more of everything
Cause he has always loved you
His promises are true
So true if you

Chorus:
Come as you are
Don't change a thing
Open your heart
He'll walk right in
Come as you are
No alibis
His love for you
Will never die

There is a heaven
Open your eyes
There you have no disguise
He'll never leave you
No need to hide
He's always by your side

If you just believe
There is a way you'll see
It's just one step to eternity
And he will always love you
This promise will be true
So true if you

(Repeat Chorus)

Tears that fell like rain
Streamed down from my heart
Colors turned to gray
Emptiness led the way
Until I fell apart

You came to save me
To show me that

Chorus:
You're just a prayer away
No matter where I am
I know in my heart
You're never too far
When I'm losing my way
You're just a prayer away
My strength is in my faith
I'm never alone
I'm never afraid
Cause you're just a prayer away

When I close my eyes
Lord, I call your name
And the dark subsides
Nothing can take the place
Of the peace I find

You came to save me
To show me that

Repeat Chorus:

Whenever I need to find you
I just fall on my knees
In you I find the strength that I need to live
To believe

Repeat Chorus:

I'm Not Looking Down

I sit around
Waiting for the world
To come and let me down
And when I've come undone
You meet me where I am
But I cannot pretend
That everything makes sense

Chorus
Help me get my feet back off the ground
All this thinking is killing me
Or am I just afraid to be
Help me to come back around
Either way now I'm not looking down

Underneath
Your sunny sky
I fly and I am floored by You, by You
Every breath you breathe
Has got me feeling free
I'm free indeed
Now everything makes sense

Chorus

Either way, I'm not looking down

To pick up the pieces
Of all my promises
I might as well say I'm good enough
Only when failing
In need of saving
Can I surrender my life to yours

When it's all said and done
Let this be real
This strength from above
I hope they see

Something beautiful
Something wonderful
You are supernatural
The way You change my life
To something beautiful

I've taken chances
I've tried out romances
I want to breath in
All You've given me
Stepping out means I'm
Tripping and falling
Your loving hand would never let me
Let me hit the floor

When it's all said and done
Let this be real
This strengt from above
I hope they see

Sometimes I feel the rain
Fall on the twilight of the day
Watch the world fade away
Through all the stains of time
In the far corner of my mind
All the dreams I left behind
You'll find
But tonight, I'm gonna live in your world
Where the stars come out and find you beautiful
Yeah tonight, I wanna live in your world
Where the stars come out and call you beautiful
Once I felt it all
The fear and freedom of the fall
Empty rooms and barren walls
And now the cold remains
From all the fallout of the day
Let it all fade away
I pray
That tonight, I'm gonna live in your world
Where the stars come out and find you beautiful
Yeah tonight, I wanna live in Your world
Where the stars come out and call you beautiful
Beautiful
Won't you come out
Won't you come out tonight
Tonight, I'm gonna live in your world
Where the stars come out and find you beautiful
Yeah tonight, I wanna live in your world
Where the stars come out and call you beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful

You've been so good to me and maybe that's why
I move so carelessly through the greet and goodbyes
I don't notice all the little things, that's why I'm scared
I have been noticing here and I'm needing You here

I've been thinking it over, I've been thinking it over, and I'd like to
say...

When You hold me, when You hold me
Put Your arms around me more, put Your arms around me more
When You hold me, when You hold me
Put Your arms around me Lord, when I'm not worth waiting for
You're waiting for me

You're all I want to be, and that all I desire
Still I've been running free and I'm getting so tired
'Cause I've been chasing all the little things that take me from You
I've just been noticing I don't know what to do

And I've been thinking it over, I've been thinking it over, and I'd like to
say...

When You hold me, when You hold me
Put Your arms around me more, put Your arms around me more
When You hold me, when You hold me
Put Your arms around me Lord, when I'm not worth waiting for
You're waiting for a€|

When You hold me, when You hold me
Put Your arms around me more, put Your arms around me more
When You hold me, when You hold me
Put Your arms around me Lord, when I'm not worth waiting for
You're waited for...
You've waited for me

there's something more to this
the stories i have heard
of senseless apathy and cases of defeat
the course that we are on
is treacherous and long
sometimes is so unreal
but i know what to feel

chorus:
we are in need
of something real
to prove that life is something, not just nothing
everybody wants to see everyone is here in need
of the reason to believe, the reason to believe
we all want to rise above , yeah we're all in search of love
and the reason to believe, the reason to believe

we're living in an age
of faith and disbelief
and curiousity of how we can be free
the state that we are in
we question everything
but i know right, cause i can see the light

chorus

the reason to believe
yeah yeah
the reason to believe

Ia€?ve been listening
To doubt
She is all around me
Forcing her way
Into my heart
a€?Til I can't resist
Then I feel grace
Make me believe in this
Supernatural thing

Chorus
Supernatural
I'll do anything
To see Your face
Supernatural

Anything

I have read every verse
But yet I still search
To bring down the light
But I'm in the way
And can't comprehend
But You take me back to when
I believed in this

Supernatural
I'll do anything
To see Your face
Supernatural
I'll do anything
Anything

How can I begin to understand
It could take a lifetime
Where did this journey start
And where will it goa€|

Supernatural
I'll do anything
To see Your face
Supernatural
I'll do anything
Anything

Love has got a way
Of making colors fade
No intentions here,prejudice or fear
There are no rules to play
Or judgments to be made
If beauty has grace,Let her stay

Chorus:
Heaven is a place that we can run to
Me and You
In God's eyes we're all the same
So be you and I'll be me
Don't be afraid 'cause in the light
There is no weight
Have faith
This love is for everyone

Silence is a spell
Lose your sense of self
I'm trying to explain
This liberating change
No formula or key
It's all for free

Chorus

Wherevere your faith
Whether you're changed
It's ok there are no conditions
Loving arms will never fail

Chorus

You are the reason
For blue in the sky
Yes, you are the reason why
Snow covers winter
And melts into spring
And rivers meet the sea

God is here for you
And you were made for him
He'll give you more of everything
Cause he has always loved you
His promises are true
So true if you

Chorus:
Come as you are
Don't change a thing
Open your heart
He'll walk right in
Come as you are
No alibis
His love for you
Will never die

There is a heaven
Open your eyes
There you have no disguise
He'll never leave you
No need to hide
He's always by your side

If you just believe
There is a way you'll see
It's just one step to eternity
And he will always love you
This promise will be true
So true if you

(Repeat Chorus)

As long as stars shine down from heaven
And the rivers run into the sea
Till the end of time forever
You're the only love I'll need

In my life You're all that matters
In my eyes the only truth I see
When my hopes and dreams have shattered
You're the one that's there for me

When I found You I was blessed
And I will never leave You
