All Along The Way
03:54
|

Time is just the measure
By which we gauge where we have been
And how we've grown
Each day brings new changes
We must learn to trust and cope with love
And the seeds it sows
Trust your heart to follow and obey
Trust your ears to heed the call today
Be open to the grace that is ours to share
All along the way
Looking back I see
A growth that is only measured by years
Looking back through time
Growing not by leaps but small steps
Like a child, I learn to trust
And not hold back

To Find God
04:20
|
|||
|
Why is it we live like there's no God
And hold things precious that have no meaning
Speak well on a Sunday, then turn mean on Monday
Leaving behind what we promise to do or say
And I can see...sometimes
That in this world God is hard to find
Unless we try, and I mean really try
To find God
In our world of work and days of pain
God seems distant - without real connection
That we lose sight and so our plight
Begins as we reject the Grace and love around us

Let Them In
03:50
|
|||
|
Our eyes they look, they look up to you
You know that some things don't go the way we want them to
You know we're trying to find a reason whay
And the answers are hard to find
And trusting is the last thing we want to do
But there's so much we can't ignore
Seek the reason we're put here for
Open your heart and don't close the door
We have to let, gotta let them in
I look to find you on the streets
With the homeless and poor that we would meet
Sometimes you seem so far away
And sometimes we often stray
'Cause we don't worry about those who are in need

Nothing I Can Do
03:08
|
|||
|
I can't run
And I can't hide
No matter what I do
Everything
That I have been
Or will be
Is known to you
You are the Way
You are the Truth
You are the Light
Nothing ever can change that
You are my hope
You are my life
The one who always gives back
You are my hope
You are my life
I seek
I find
I pray
I hope
I love
And you give
You hear me and forgive

I Wait For You
02:35
|
|||
|
I wait for you, my love
Down by the garden gate
As the rain falls gently from above
I pray I am not late
I am poor and have no land
Nor jewels or wealth have I
But boldly still, I ask for your hand
And I wait here for your reply
Oh, the rain washes clean my soul
And I feel that I can wait forever
Only with you shall I be whole
I am complete when we are together.

Sheltered Life
03:26
|
|||
|
Sometimes I feel my life is to sheltered
And that I only hide
I turn my eyes from the things that bother me
And turn to my life of pride
It's easy hide and never see
All of the hurt outside
I've never experienced any of the pain
Of having good things denied
I'd like to change, show me how
I want to get more involved
Show me here that with your help
These problems will one day be solved
Give me the strength to realize
I must begin again
To go out and help those in need
I've got to go out and be among them.

I Call Out Your Name
04:28
|
|||
|
As I wait in my darkness hoping for a sign
Lost here in my loneliness to which I must resign
Blinded by my plight, turning inward with my pain
You wash away my wrongs as sweet and soothing rain
And I feel your thunder, and hope for the rain
Soothing as it comes - wash away my pain
As I sit alone here and I call out your name
Keep me from this darkness, I call to you and pray
I call out your name
Master of Forgiveness, Comforter Divine
I only need to call your name, you know this voice of mine
As I'm blinded by my plight, turning inward with my pain
You wash away my wrongs as sweet and soothing rain

Filled with the anger of the world
Alone I cry and alone I try
Filled with fear unable to move
I retreat, I go and hide
Sometimes this pilgrim strays
Far from home, lost today
Sometimes this soul, it weeps
Apart from you, far from free
Keep me from this place where I
Sink into a desperate state
Hold my anger deep inside
Keep me on the narrow way
You know I need to turn to you
When the path is not so clear
Filled with hate, I must purge
My soul for you I hold so dear

Tell Me What To Do
02:53
|
|||
|
Your voice remains in the back of my mind
Leading me toward all the new roads that I find
Undefined, yet persistently there
Tell me what to do
Why can't I know for sure what's right and what's wrong
I want to fit all the pieces right where they belong
My rules don't apply for me here or anywhere
Tell me what to do
You know that I hate it when I try and I fail
The taste of defeat is getting old and stale
Sometimes I wish things would only seem more fair
Tell me what to do
Yet I hear I sense your presence here and everywhere
Though I may only fail I will always dare
Tell me what to do

Not About Me
04:18
|
|||
|
You know that there's a lot of hurt inside
You just don't want to deal with
So you project it all on me
Because I'm the one you're here with
And you equate the things I do
With those you've known before
I'm waiting to make that mistake
That will push me out the door
But I am not like them
And this is not about me
It's the things you carry inside
You don't let others see
And logically I know this
And I know you'll never see
This has to do with you
This is not about me
You know you can't live your life
Always pushing people aside
When they no longer feel comfortable
And they touch your hurt inside
Those from your past are gone
But they still live with you today
Even though you never see them
They never go away
