What About Today 02:38
lyrics
buy track
In the beginning A long time ago You made the earth and sea All the things I know So beautiful So big and grand The father almighty's Creative hand Long time ago So far away What about today? I dream of heaven So far away Where all the pain is gone And tears are wiped away In God's presence In God's hand Filled with peace and love In a promised land Long time ago So far away What about today? In the ordinary Stuck in time You live in another world Once upon a time A long time ago So far away I need something more To get me through the day Long time ago So far away What about today?

This old heart, is tired and I don’t think I can take anymore This old heart, is lonely, down and out on the floor This old heart, is yours now, I surrender, open the door I don’t understand my own actions I don’t understand the things I do There’s a darkness that whispers in my ear There’s a darkness that knows all my fears This old heart, is tired and I don’t think I can take anymore This old heart, is lonely, down and out on the floor This old heart, is yours now, I surrender, open the door I used to think I didn’t need anyone I used to think I was so strong I was gonna climb that ladder to heaven I was gonna rise up out of my sin This old heart, is tired and I don’t think I can take anymore This old heart, is lonely, down and out on the floor This old heart, is yours now, I surrender, open the door Oh wretched one that I am Who will rescue me from death? “Come to me,” I hear the voice say “Come to me, I will show you the way.” This old heart, is tired and I don’t think I can take anymore This old heart, is lonely, down and out on the floor This old heart, is yours now, I surrender, open the door

Come Away 02:28
lyrics

Come away, come away death And in sad cypress let me be laid Fly away, fly away breath I am slain by a fair cruel maid My shroud of white stuck all with yew Oh prepare it My part of death no one so true Did share it Not a flower, not a flower sweet On my black coffin let there be strown Not a friend, not a friend greet My poor corpse where my bones shall be thrown A thousand, thousand sighs to save Lay me oh where Sad true lover never find my grave To weep there (La da da's) A thousand, thousand sighs to save Lay me oh where Sad true lover never find my grave To weep there

God Will Wipe Away Every Tear From Their Eyes 03:54
lyrics

God will wipe away every tear from their eyes God will wipe away every tear from their eyes Standing at the throne of God all dressed in white Singing alleluia every day and night They hunger no more, they thirst no more The lamb has led them to the waters that pour And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes God will wipe away every tear from their eyes God will wipe away every tear from their eyes Out of the great ordeal and into the light Drinking deep from the springs of the water of life Someone said, "Where'd they come from?" Thousands of people washed in blood And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes God will wipe away every tear from their eyes God will wipe away every tear from their eyes Let anyone who has eyes, see Let anyone who has ears, hear The spirit is talking to you and me The kingdom is filled with the least of these And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes God will wipe away every tear from their eyes God will wipe away every tear from their eyes Standing at the throne of God all dressed in white Singing alleluia every day and night They hunger no more, they thirst no more The lamb has led them to the waters that pour And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes God will wipe away every tear from their eyes God will wipe away every tear from their eyes

Passion Demands Reply 02:50
lyrics
buy track
She starts to cry and the whole world takes notice They look at her and she doesn't even know it Softly she cries, Passion demands reply Tears on her face, like rain from the sky She touches you, and you don't know why Softly she cries, passion demands reply She feels hurt, but no need to hide And you can't run, suddenly the pain's inside Softly she cries, passion demands reply You want to hold her, you want to be held You look in her eyes, how she knows you so well Softly she cries, passion demands reply After she's wept, she finds a smile You find hope, amidst all the tears that you've cried Softly she cries, passion demands reply

We Dance 03:39
lyrics

If God is present in emptiness, God must be near And you must be Jesus, Who else would be standing here In the middle of the night at the edge of the world Ready to dance with the boys and girls Holding onto you, holding onto me All of God's children who want to be free In the middle of the night at the edge of the world, Let's dance In the emptiness of life, the beat comes alive, and we dance If God is present in emptiness, God must be near And you must be Jesus, Who else would be standing here In the middle of the night at the edge of the world Ready to dance with the boys and girls Holding onto you, holding onto me All of God's children who want to be free In the middle of the night at the edge of the world, Let's dance In the emptiness of life, the beat comes alive, and we dance If God is present in poverty, God must be poor If the meek will inherit the earth, God must see more Than the pearls around the neck and the Mercedes in the drive God must see the heart that's alive Power ain't power in a world upside down the rich folk are living on the wrong side of town In the middle of the night at the edge of the world, Let's dance In the emptiness of life, the beat comes alive, and we dance If God is present in pain, God must have died Tears must have flowed, broken hearts come alive Walking down the street bitter and cold No one to have and no one to hold Reaching out in love with some strange peace God is present in the least of these In the middle of the night at the edge of the world, Let's dance In the emptiness of life, the beat comes alive, and we dance

It's Time To Believe 03:29

Yesterday is gone tomorrow's yet to come I think today I'll find myself in love It's been so long, waiting on this song I think today I'll stop believing in things to come The road's before me I can't go back to sleep It's time to leave The road's before me yet no angel draws near just a haunting voice that whispers in my ear I take my step, the right foot then the left I walk away from this world not knowing what comes next The road's before me I can't go back to sleep It's time to leave Memories fill my mind, I look back at life and times Though life was cast in stone tears still fill my eyes Today I'm free, wide open scared as can be This is the life of love I was meant to be The road's before me I can't go back to sleep It's time to leave It's time to believe

Touched by love I’ve been drenched in the waters that flow from above Now I’m living wet, reaching out to the little ones Touched by love I see your face In the least of these my brothers and sisters I have found grace Reaching out to find the kingdom Touched by love I’ve been drenched in the waters that flow from above Now I’m living wet, reaching out to the little ones Touched by love I am alive The waters of love are filled to overflowing I am surprised To find my life in simple giving Touched by love I’ve been drenched in the waters that flow from above Now I’m living wet, reaching out to the little ones Touched by love Love one another Watch the rain fall down from heaven When we love one another Fear lets go, it has no power Touched by love I’ve been drenched in the waters that flow from above Now I’m living wet, reaching out to the little ones Touched by love

Eyes For The Sky 03:15

Everybody's walking with their eyes to the ground; Everybody's feeling so low Nobody's got a reason to live; Ain't got no place to go But baby you and I are different than that We got something that shines Baby you and I are different than that We got eyes for the sky Everybody's talking 'bout gravity; No one believes they can fly Stuck on the ground, a built in excuse; Nobody even tries But baby you and I are different than that We got something that shines Baby you and I are different than that We got eyes for the sky And when I hold you and you hold me There is a moment and I believe Everybody's doing the same old thing; Everybody's towing the line Ain't got a vision for tomorrow; Safe and secure they survive But baby you and I are different than that We got something that shines Baby you and I are different than that We got eyes for the sky Everybody's got something nasty to say; About someone else or some place; Confused by fear and the face in the mirror; Just another fall from grace But baby you and I are different than that We got something that shines Baby you and I are different than that We got eyes for the sky And when I hold you and you hold me The sweetest moment and I believe Cause baby you and I are different than that We got something that shines Baby you and I are different than that We got eyes for the sky

Be strong and courageous, all the days of your life For the Lord has promised to stand by you, day and night Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed For the Lord your God is with you along the narrow way Stay in the holy word; keep it deep in your soul Meditate upon it and you will know where to go The place God has prepared for you Be strong and courageous, all the days of your life For the Lord has promised to stand by you, day and night Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed For the Lord your God is with you along the narrow way Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, and mind In service to others, your dream becomes alive The place God has prepared for you Be strong and courageous, all the days of your life For the Lord has promised to stand by you, day and night Be strong and courageous; do not be frightened or dismayed For the Lord your God is with you along the narrow way Amen Amen
