Tell Me What To Do
02:56
|
|||
|
your voice remains in the back of my mind
pulling me towards all the new roads that i find
undefined yet persistently there
tell me what to do
how am i to know for sure what's right and what wrong
i want to fit all the places right where they belong
my rules don't apply for me here or anywhere
tell me what to do
yet I hear your call, you know it's steadily there
and i sense your presence here and everywhere
though I may only fail, i will always dare
tell me what to do

All Along The Way
03:42
|
|||
|
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

Tell me who's that writin'?
(John the Revelator)
Tell me who's that writin'?
(John the Revelator)
Tell me who's that writin'?
(John the Revelator)
Wrote the book of the Seven Seals
God walked down in the cool of the day
He called Adam by his name
He refused to answer
Because he was naked and afraid
You know Christ had twelve apostles
And three he led away
He said watch with me awhile
While I go yon and pray
Christ came down on Easter Morning
Mary and Martha came down to see
Go tell my Apostlles
To meet me in Galilee

I Call Out Your Name
04:29
|
|||
|
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

Nothing I Can Do
03:14
|
|||
|
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
I seek
I find
I pray
I hope
I love
You give
You hear me and forgive

Judas In Me
04:45
|
|||
|
Sometimes, I can't help but feel
For the one who betrayed our Lord
Who in the end took his own life
Filled with grief and remorse
And sometimes I wonder if
He had lived three more days
And had been in that room when Jesus came
And know that he too Christ forgave
Tell me do you know
How far God's love goes?
Because like him I see the sin in me
And because of you I know I'm free
I like to believe when i think of him
That in You he found some peace
It's comforting to know no matter how great the sin
We are forgiven if we believe
You know I try sometimes
To be more than I am
And I judge those whom I deem wicked
And forget just who I am

I Was There
04:09
|
|||
|
Didn't you see me
Off in the shadows I was there?
Triumphantly You came
But how cold we know
Fortunes would change so much
Now that triumph has flown
I should have said something
I was only feet away
And I saw the pain on your face
But I looked away
As I watched him wash his hands
As I watched them lead You awy
As I watched You take that final walk
As I watched them nail Your hands
As I watched them hang You high
As I watched You die
I did nothing

The Lens
03:29
|
|||
|
Through or lens
We see the world as an evil place
Where through fear we dare not show our face
For fear of hurt
Through our lens
We see people as less than they are
We judge others and we condemn from afar
Through our lens
Looking through the lense of the Gospel
We see the greatest are the least
The poor are worthy of our greatest feast
And none should be made to suffer
Through our lens
We see a world in need of change
But we'd rather revert to a bygone age
That never was

Call Me
05:03
|
|||
|
Each morning that I rise
Each morning I see
A world in need of change
And that is up to me
We are called to act
We are called to be
Bearer's of God's love
In the Word we shall be free
Call me...
Everything we do
Everything we are
Is meant for greater good
With God we can go far
Learning to let go
And trusting in God's voice
Will teach us what to do
In this we can rejoice
And in the end we'll see
A richer life is sown
As we see beyond ourselves
And that life we call our own
And each day we give
Brings honor to His name
As we strive to share the love
In grace we shall be saved

To Find God
04:21
|
|||
|
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 all 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
|

Who Are We?
03:32
|
|||
|
Sometimes I wonder just how far we will go
To serve our own ends as to what is just
We're always looking for exceptions to the rules
But somehow we always end up playing the Devil's fool
In this world where violence is king
But the time has come for us to try a better way
Vengeance serves no end except to fuel our violent spirits
But who are we to judge?
And who are we to condemn?
And who are we to kill?
Last time I looked all it sayd was you shall not kill
No conditions or exceptions it seemed pretty absolute
But we always want to find exceptions to the rules
To take care of all the people we don't like like you and you and you
In this world where hatred is king

Here In My Heart
04:07
|
|||
|
Trying
To pull it all together again
I sit alone and I look up to the skys
Wondering where to find Your strength
I've got to hold on, got to hold on
I look up to the skys and I find You
I look out on the Earth and I find You
I look into my heart and I find You
Everywhere I look I can find You
Lord I hold you here in my heart
Lord I hold you here in my neart
Closer
I draw Your strength around me like a blanket
I hold the warmth of Your love within me
I radiate Your joy and love for all
When all else fails You are there
Keep me in your care for all time
Keep me in Your Word to live and breathe
Cleanse my heart and free my mind to be
The person that you most see in me

Your Call
05:54
|
|||
|
As we walk in thiis world
Hoping to find out place
Trying to find an answer
Before the end of the race
To take the time for You
Is often very hard
When I feel I'm in control
And holding every card
In these moments that I feel
That I know it all
Your voice comes and leaves me less assured
You keep tugging and pulling at me
Sometimes I don't want to go
But I know your call will endure
As I swam through the dark streams
Hoping to find some purpose
Clinging to my selfishness
Of pride and self and mine
I was unprepared
That You would enter my life
But your presence is still there
And cannot be denied
Sometimes too scared to lose
The control that I think I have
And I have to turn it all
Over to you
Letting go is so hard
I've a lifetime to try to undo
But I know if I stay open
Your call will bring me to You

Ancient Mariners
03:16
|

|
Late in the season
Fall has long since colored the trees
The big lake boils
I feel the power beneath her seas
The spray it catches me
A shot of ice right to my face
I feel the power
Alive here only by God's grace
Ancient mariners all know
As their ghosts haunt these ancient waves
Their voices they cry out
Only Jesus saves
Ancient days
You I marvel at how they've gone
The waves roll past me
And I know this is where I belong

Nothng But The Blood
03:42
|
|||
|
Who can wash away my sin
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
What can make me whole again
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
Oh, precious is the flow
That makes me bright as snow
No other fount I know
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
This is all hope and peace
Nothing but the blood of Jesus
This is all my righteousness
Nothing but the blood of Jesus.
