David Phelps

Away in a manger no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus lay down his sweet head
the stars in the bright sky look down where he lay
the little lord Jesus asleep on the hay

Sleep little baby
sleep holy child
sleep little baby
so meek and mild

Be near me lord Jesus I ask you, Please stay
Close by me forever and love me I pray
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care
and keep us for heaven to live with you there
keep us for heaven to live with you there

Where are the signs? Which way should I go? I planned each step but now I don't know Tomorrow is a chasm of uncertainty But, I will fo there, if You'll go with me Chorus Gentle Savior, lead me on Let Your Spirit light the way Gentle Savior , lead me on Hold me close and keep me safe Lead me on, Gentle Savior Why can't I walk away from my regrets And why is forgiveness so hard to accept My past surrounds me like a house I can't afford But You say, "Come with me; don't live there anymore." Chorus And when I reach the valley every soul must journey through I'll remember then how well You know the way, I'll put my hand in Your hand like a trusting child would do And say ... Chorus

Dear Lord, I’m on my knees again
I come to You because You understand
I’ve tried so hard, but I just can’t change myself
That’s why I know I need Your help

(Chorus)
So here I am
This in my plea
My only hope is Your love for me
I’m reaching out
So desperately
Come take my hand; take all of me
Just as I am

Oh Lord, You make what’s broken new
Why can’t I just learn to follow You
I want to know You and feel You in my soul
I surrender all control

(Chorus)

I am not afraid to follow You where You lead me
I can leave the past behind me
I’m forgiven and I’m free

Dear Lord, I’m on my knees again
I come to You because You understand
I’ve tried so hard, but I just can’t change myself
That’s why I know I need Your help

(Chorus)
So here I am
This in my plea
My only hope is Your love for me
I’m reaching out
So desperately
Come take my hand; take all of me
Just as I am

Oh Lord, You make what’s broken new
Why can’t I just learn to follow You
I want to know You and feel You in my soul
I surrender all control

(Chorus)

I am not afraid to follow You where You lead me
I can leave the past behind me
I’m forgiven and I’m free

Watching the surf cover up my toes Breathing the salt air from the coast Ten years old with my eyes pressed closed Life is a church Remembering first love's tender kiss Mourning the loss of my innocence The bittersweet taste of it on my lips Life is a church These are the sacraments This is the altar Love is the spirit Making the blue planet turn Life is a church Chorus Watching my baby being born Written all over you, pain and joy Holding your hand, it's a little boy Chorus Ashes to ashes, earth to earth The preacher throws in the first handful of dirt My little boy asks me, "Does goodbye always hurt?" Chorus

A shooting star tumbles down,
Its flame cannot endure.
A scarlet rose withers brown
To lose its fragrant lure.
The moon illuminates the night
To vanish at the dawn.
Oh, but love, love goes on.

Fortunes fail and disappear,
Like castles in the sand.
Power spoils and causes fear,
But yields to stronger hands.
Fame lasts for a moment,
Then, in a moment, it is gone.
Oh, but love, love goes on.

Beauty fades, and passion wanes,
And faces show their years.
Death steals a lover's touch away,
But time dries up the tears.
Tunes are soon forgotten,
And singers lose their song,
But love goes on.

A baby Boy, a starlit night,
Kings on bended knee.
Healing hands giving sight,
Then tortured on a tree.
A woman sings, rejoicing,
"He is risen, He is gone!"
Because love, love goes on.
Oh, love goes on.
