"The Water"

"The Water"

Quicksand, my heart is sinking
I try to run but I can't stop thinking
I'm climbin' walls, I'm on the ceilin'
Its gonna take a miracle to heal me

[Chorus:]
I'm starin' down into the quarry
I see a stone for every sorry
I'm on the edge, I'm goin under
And after I die I'm gonna rise from the water

I wanna blast off,
let gravity disappear
I'm tired of fallin, fallin, fallin
from the weight of fear
Come and lift me up
into the clean and clear
I'm waitin' on you Jesus in the water here
So come and wash me clean

The sky is red, there's blood on my hands
Cant deny, you're clear where I stand
The burn of sin, I hear them shoutin'
Send me a river to drown this mountain

[Chorus]

Wash me clean...
Let it wash me, let is wash me, let it wash me clean

[Chorus]

I wanna blast off,
let gravity disappear
Come and lift me up,
into the clean and clear

Let it wash me, let it wash me, let it wash me clean

"There Will Never Be Another"

"There Will Never Be Another"

[Chorus:]
There will never be another who will love me like You
There will never be another who could hold me, mold me
There will never be another who could love me purely
No there will never be another who has loved me like You

And I know that there will never be another love
Who could ever be the love that You are

Cause You had so much to lose but still You gave it up for Your scars-
But that's the way you are
And if I spent my life attending universities,
Educated in the wisdom of men
And if I could even quote a guy like Socrates, even then I couldn't comprehend

[Chorus]

And I know I'll never understand this mystery
If I live to be a hundred and three
How You died to live the love You give to me

[Chorus]

There will never be another who has loved me like You

"Third World Woman"

"Third World Woman"

What if I were that mother staring from my TV
What if that were my brown-eyed baby
Hungry as she could be
What if that were my family
What if that was my world
Waiting on water waiting on a vaccine
Waiting on someone to bring me a bag of beans
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy on me

What of I was that mother and I was waiting on me
The big success so well dressed on the other side of the sea
Living with my distractions
Life's been good to me
Maybe she's praying
Praying for a miracle
Maybe the answer is me

Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy on me

I was born in Georgia where I could do as I pleased
And I can get my hands on just about anything I might need
Who's that third world woman
Maybe she could be
Could be mother, could be daughter
Could be sister to me

Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy on me
Lord have mercy on me

"This Is My Father's World"

"This Is My Father's World"

This is my Father's world, and to my listening ears
All nature sings, and round me rings the music of the spheres.

This is my Father's world, the birds their carols raise,
The morning light, the lily white, declare their Maker's praise.

This is my Father's world: I rest me in the thought
Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas;
His hand the wonders wrought.

This is my Father's world. O let me ne'er forget
That though the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler yet.

This is my Father's world: why should my heart be sad?
The Lord is King; let the heavens ring!
God reigns; let the earth be glad!

This is my Father's world: He shines in all that's fair;
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass;
He speaks to me everywhere.
In the rustling grass I hear Him pass;
He speaks to me everywhere.

"Threaten Me With Heaven"

"Threaten Me With Heaven"

I can see the tears upon your face, no hiding place
You're afraid that soon I will be gone, time will still go on
You're searching for the answers you can find, all in good time

What's the worst thing that can happen, if they say my time is through
Can they take away the love, or they years I've shared with you
What's the worst thing that can happen, what's the worst that they can do
Threaten me with Heaven, if they want to
Threaten me with Heaven, it's all they can do
Threaten me with Heaven, it's true
Threaten me with Heaven, I'll be waiting on you

I hear angels through the window paine, calling my name
Someday when they carve that name in stone, I won't be alone
If by chance a miracle appears, I'll dry these tears

What's the worst thing that can happen, if they say my time is through
Can they take away the love, or they years I've shared with you
What's the worst thing that can happen, what's the worst that they can do
Threaten me with Heaven, if they want to
Threaten me with Heaven, it's all they can do
Threaten me with Heaven, it's true
Threaten me with Heaven, I'll be waiting on you

"Thy Word"

"Thy Word"

[Chorus:]
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path

When I feel afraid, think I've lost my way
Still You're there right beside me
Nothing will I fear as long as you are near
Please be near me to the end

[Chorus]

I will not forget your love for me
And yet my heart forever is wandering
Jesus be my guide, hold me to Your side
And I will love You to the end

[Chorus]

Nothing will I fear as long as you are near
Please be near me to the end

[Chorus]

And a light unto my path
You're the light unto my path

"Tomorrow"

"Tomorrow"

Lay down your failures and excuses
All of the dreams that never come true
Past is a crutch you've been using
Time you broke that thing in two
Open your eyes to tomorrow
Open your life to His care
Open your past to his mercy
Open your heart He'll be there

[Chorus 1:]
We got tomorrow
There'll be changes made inside
We got tomorrow
Gonna take it all in stride
If we just follow, God will lead us to his side
If this day went wrong
You gotta pick up, you gotta move on to tomorrow

Yesterday's gone forever
We'll never change a thing we've done
But the guilt is behind us
If our heart's moving on
Never give an inch, just believe me
What God said, He's gonna do
And He said when he started
He's never gonna quit till He's through

[Chorus 2:]
We got tomorrow
Don't let trouble fill your head
We got tomorrow
You gotta believe what He said
Just follow, He'll be here till the end
So keep hanging on
Until you pick up, until you move on into tomorrow

I know some things can take time
But I believe each change is nice
Tell me what You're gonna say
All you gotta do is believe

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

[Chorus 1]

[Chorus 2]

"Too Late"

"Too Late"

[Chorus:]
Well, it's too late for walking in the middle
Too late to try
Yes it's too late for sitting in the balance
No more middle line
Oh, it's too late for walking on fences
Time to choose your side
Yes it's too late for flirting with the darkness
Make up your mind

Oh the time has come for making a decision
And you say you found the light
But the talk is cheap when I see the way you're living
Walking in the night

[Chorus]

Well, it's too late for walking in the middle
Too late to try
Yes it's too late for sitting in the balance
No more middle line
Oh, it's too late for thinking you can walk the middle line
Better get wise.

You may think you can live by your feelings
Different every night
But an emotional religion will crumble at our feet
If we're made to stand and fight

Well, it's too late for walking on fences
Time to choose your side
Yes it's too late for flirting with the darkness
Please make up your mind
Well it's too late for thinking you can walk the middle line
Better get wise.

[Chorus]

"Touch"

"Touch"

There's a fire in the sky
The stars are burning
Like this passion tonight
Slowly stirring

You and I
A way we've never known
Now we're here alone

You're the one in my life and
Nothing matters
More to me on this night than
Learning how do I love you
Til the morning light
Baby you and I

Hold me close
Fill me breathe
Touch my heart
Set it free and love will lead us
Lay me down
Lift me up
Feel the power
Every time we touch

Don't we wait all our lives
For such a moment
Soul to soul, eye to eye
And all our colors run
Toward one
Til there's no dividing light
Between you and I

Hold me close
Fill me breathe
Touch my heart
Set it free and love will lead us
Lay me down Lift me up
Feel the power
Every time we touch

Hold onto water
Hold to the tide
Love is an ocean
Love washes over
For you and I
As we dream
On the sea of desire

Hold me close
Fill me breath
Touch my hear
Set me free and love will lead us
Lay me down
Lift me up
Feel the power
Every time we touch

I have waited all my life
For this moment
For this moment

"Turn This World Around"

"Turn This World Around"

We are all the same it seems
Behind the eyes
Broken promises and dreams
In good disguise
All we're really looking for is somewhere
Safe and warm
The shelter of each other in the storm

[Chorus:]
Maybe one day
We can turn and face our fears
Maybe one day
We can reach out through our tears
After all it's really not that far
To where hope can be found
Maybe one day
We can turn this world around

Who can trace the path of time
Not you or me
The twisting road we call our lives
We cannot see
The hunger and the longing everyone of us
Knows inside
Could be the bridge between us if we try

[Chorus]
