"I Lay Me Down"

"I Lay Me Down"


I have found here
Love and mercy
From an infinite supply
I have found here
Living water
From a well that won't run dry

At Your feet
I bow in wonder
At Your feet
I place my crowns
Let surrender be the only sound
At Your feet
I lay me down

Fear and failure
Pride and hatred
You see all I've tried to hide
But sweet mercy
Has embraced me
Wrath has turned to life divine

At Your feet
I bow in wonder
At Your feet
I place my crowns
Let surrender be the only sound
At Your feet
I lay me down
[x2]

Into my emptiness
You speak life and give me breath
I lay me down
Undone by holiness
Take my all and nothing less
I lay me down
[x2]

At Your feet
I bow in wonder
At Your feet
I place my crowns
Let surrender be the only sound
At Your feet
I lay me down
At Your feet
I lay me down

"I Miss The Way"

"I Miss The Way"


Once a true believer
Once there was a fire in your soul
You were the epitome of blessed faith astir
With thirst for holiness
And hunger for the Word
Now you move in other circles
To the beat of different drums
And I see only glimpses of the one you used to be
The inspiration that you were to me

[CHORUS]
I miss the way His love would dance within your eyes
I miss the way His heart was the soul of your life
And somewhere in the saddest part of heaven's room
Our Father sheds a tear for you
He's missing you, too

Some are calling you a prodigal
Some aren't calling you at all
But far away someone is calling you back home
Do you hear it anymore out there on your own

[CHORUS]

Once a true believer...

"I See You"
(originally by Rich Mullins)

"I See You"
(originally by Rich Mullins)



Lord, You're leading me
With a cloud by day
And then in the night
The glow of a burning flame

And everywhere I go I see you
Everywhere I go I see you

And You take my hand
And You wash it clean
I know the promised land
Is light years ahead of me

And everywhere I go I see you
Everywhere I go I see you

And the eagle flies
And the rivers run
I look through the night
I can see the risin' sun

And everywhere I go I see you
Everywhere I go I see you

Well, the grass will die
And the flowers fall
But Your Word's alive
Will be after all

And everywhere I go I see you
Everywhere I go I see you

"I Still Have The Dream"

"I Still Have The Dream"



Said it's sad, said it was a shame
Bet you thought I caught a boat to Bombay
On the line just to let you know
I will be around

Underneath the bridge to nowhere
Like I'm living out a game of solitaire
Going up to a better day
I will be around

Hey world, it's me
I still have the heart, still have the dream

Come on, people
We've got to come together
It's you and me
Hope will make us stronger
Freedom it rings
Do you hear it calling?
Reach out and touch
And love will take us higher

Somebody threw a brick in my vision
Tried to sabotage my mission
Either way, I believe
I will be around
I wanna know, people, are you with me?
Open up your heart, and just believe
Take a step, let me hear you say
I will be around

Hey world, it's me
I still have the heart, still have the dream

Come on, people
We've got to come together
It's you and me
Hope will make us stronger
Freedom it rings
Do you hear it calling?
Reach out and touch
And love will take us higher

For He knows the plans He has for you
A plan to prosper and not harm you
To give you a future and a hope

Come on, people
We've got to come together
It's you and me
Hope will make us stronger
Freedom it rings
Do you hear it calling?
Reach out and touch
And love will take us higher

"I Wanna Tell The World"

"I Wanna Tell The World"



I saw you, and you saw me
And I didn't even know your name
Just one look
That was all it took
And I knew I'd never be the same
If walking on air compares to what I feel
Then how can I keep it sealed, when...

I wanna tell the world
If the smile on my face
Hasn't given me away already
I wanna tell the world
There ain't no way to hide it
Your love has got me flying high

Since the day that you looked my way
I knew we were meant to be together
Now I thank the Lord
For a love like yours
'Cause I know it's gonna last forever
It's hard to believe my dreams have all come true
And I'm so in love with you that...

I wanna tell the world
If the smile on my face
Hasn't given me away already
I wanna tell the world
There ain't no way to hide it
Your love has got me flying high

I just want the world to know
Love has got me good to go
I have got to get it out
She is all I think about
It's something that I need to say
Love has overtaken me

I wanna tell the world
If the smile on my face
Hasn't given me away already
I wanna tell the world
There ain't no way to hide it
Your love has got me flying high

"I Will Be Here For You"

"I Will Be Here For You"


When you feel the sunlight
Fade into the cold night
Don't know where to turn
Don't know where to turn
And all the dreams you're dreaming
Seem to lose their meaning
Let me in your world
Baby, let me in your world

All you need is someone you can hold
Don't be sad, you're not alone

I will be here for you
Somewhere in the night
Somewhere in the night
I'll shine a light for you
Somewhere in the night
I'll be standing by
I will be here for you

In this world of strangers
Of cold, unfriendly faces
There's someone you can trust
Oh there's someone you can trust
I will be your shelter
I'll give you my shoulder
Just reach out for my love
Reach out for my love

Call my name
And my heart will hear
I will be there, there's nothing to fear

I will be here for you
Somewhere in the night
Somewhere in the night
I'll shine a light for you
Somewhere in the night
I'll be standing by
I will be here for you

[guitar solo]

Oh, yeah!

I will be here for you
Somewhere in the night
Somewhere in the night
I'll shine a light for you
Somewhere in the night
I'll be standing by

I will be here for you
Somewhere in the night
Somewhere in the night
I'll shine a light for you
Somewhere in the night
I'll be standing by

I will be here for you
I will be here for you

"I Will Be Your Friend"

"I Will Be Your Friend"



So many memories and so many miles
the road that stretches behind us
We've had some laughter and our share of tears
But all these moments unite us

I'll be your friend for a lifetime
Against the wind and the rain of every season
Won't walk away in the hard times
I will be your friend
I'm saying I will be your friend

Sure as the river runs to the sea
High as the mountain that reaches
You were there by my side till the end
(and) helped me on my feet again

I'll be your friend for a lifetime
Against the wind and the rain of every season
Won't walk away in the hard times
I will be your friend
I'm saying I will be your friend

So in the valley walk on
Don't have to face it alone
Cause in the hard times
We keep growing strong
As we learn, as we live
That we live when we give

I'll be your friend for a lifetime
Against the wind and the rain of every season
Won't walk away in the hard times
I will be your friend
I'm saying I will be your friend

"I Will Carry You"

"I Will Carry You"



Sometimes I wonder if my beating heart has a reason
The thought of breathing only takes my breath away
I've spent so many nights wrestling with this feeling
Do I have the strength to make it through the day
But I was never meant
To walk this road alone
I can always trust you
When you say

I will carry you
Be your strength
And pull you through
Reach for me
And take my hand
We will pray
And we will stand
In a world
Crying out for peace
Let your heart be strong
For when I am weak
You will carry me

Sometimes You wonder if the road you're on has a reason
It's hard to go on, when you just don't know
We can shoulder all the weight of life between us
Until the fear of what we cannot see is gone
Cause we were never meant
to walk this road alone
we are bound together
When we say...

"I'll Be Around"

"I'll Be Around"


Hey boy - did you find out
Whatcha had to know - 'n what it's all about
When you started to move - just a step at a time
You never wanted to fall
You took a chance on the wild side
Hey, girl - can'tcha come down
Are ya way at the top - afraid of somethin' you found
Then you try to go back - not as easy to do
Did you find who you are
From a dance on the wild side

I know sometimes it's hard for you
To keep your feet upon the path that you've chosen
It's not for you to walk alone
Together we can take this road where it's going - hang on

[Chorus 1:]
Stand by me - stand right here
The time has come to say it clear
Now don't give up - but don't give in
We will stand together to the end
And I'll be around - I'll be around, yeah

No joke - the sooner you find
It happens all the same - for every mother's child
when you walk in the dark - then you stumble and fall
It's a part of it all
When we dance on the wild side

But everybody needs someone
Who loves 'em through the toughest times - while they're growing - yah
Who keeps a candle burning
When the darkness covers up the path where they're going - hang on

[Chorus 2:]
Stand by me - stand right here
The time has come to say it clear
Now don't give up - don't give in
We will stand together to the end
And I'll be around - come what may
Heaven hears us when we pray
So don't give up - but don't give in
We will stand together to the end
I will be there, my good friend
And I'll be around

Be around, I'll be around...
I'll walk this road with you
wherever it may wind
And I'll be around

[Chorus 2]

 

[fox69]

"I'll Lead You Home"

"I'll Lead You Home"




Wandering the road of desperate life
Aimlessly beneath the barren sky
Leave it to me
I'll lead you home

So afraid that you will not be found
It won't be long before your sun goes down
Just leave it to me
I'll lead you home

[Chorus:]
Hear me calling
Hear me calling
Just leave it to me- I'll lead you home

A troubled mind and a doubter's heart
You wonder how you ever got this far
Leave it to me
I'll lead you home

Vultures of darkness ate the crumbs you left
You got no way to retrace your steps
Just leave it to me
I'll lead you home

[Chorus 2:]
Hear me calling
Hear me calling
You're lost and alone
Leave it to me
I'll lead you home

So let it go and turn it over to
The one who chose to give his life for you
Leave it to me
I'll lead you home

Leave it to me
I'll lead you home

[Repeat chorus 2]
