"Save Me From Myself"

"Save Me From Myself"


[Verse 1]
Lost
My heart is hard as stone
On my own, alone, I carry it home
Gone
I used to waste the days,
so distraught, I thought, I'm changing my ways
now you're changing my ways

[Chorus]
You save me
Save me from myself
There is no one else
I'd lean on
Save me
You save me from myself
There is no one else that sets me free

[Verse 2]
Start
The start of something new
Is what I find, when I'm just looking at you.
Lift
You lift me off the ground,
keep holding my hand
I won't bend or even look down

Don't look down!
Don't look down!

[Chorus]
You save me
Save me from myself
There is no one else
I'd lean on
Save me
You save me from myself
There is no one else that sets me free

[Bridge (Music)]

You save me
Save me from myself
There is no one else
I'd lean on
Save me
You save me from myself
There is no one else that sets me free

"Secret Ambition"

"Secret Ambition"


Young man, up on the hillside
Teaching new ways
Each word, winning them over
Each heart a kindled flame

Old men, watch from the outside
Guarding their prey
Threated by the voice of a paragon
Leading their lambs away
Leading them far away

Nobody knew His secret ambition
Nobody knew His claim to fame
He broke the old rules steeped in tradition
He tore the holy veil away
Questioning those in powerful positions
Running to those who called His name
But nobody knew His secret ambition
Was to give His life away

His rage, shaking the temple
His word to the wise
His hand, healing on the seventh day
His love wearing no disguise

Some say, death to the radical
He's way out of line
Some say, praised be the miracle
God sends a blessed sign
A blessed sign for troubled times

Nobody knew His secret ambition
Nobody knew His claim to fame
He broke the old rules steeped in tradition
He tore the holy veil away
Questioning those in powerful positions
Running to those who called His name
But nobody knew His secret ambition
Was to give His life away...

Ohh... Oh... Oh...

Nobody knew His secret ambition
Nobody knew His claim to fame
He broke the old rules steeped in tradition
He tore the holy veil away
Questioning those in powerful positions
Running to those who called His name
But nobody knew His secret ambition
Was to give His life away

Oooohh...

No, no, no, no
I tell you nobody knew
Until He gave His life away
No!

"Seed To Sow"

"Seed To Sow"


[Chorus in Lugandan]
Kimu nkimaanyi
Buli muntu alina ensiigo
Omutima gwo gukulung 'aamye
Buli muntu alina ensiigo

Some people quietly reveal
In the manner of the meek
Some people shout the way they feel
To a radical degree
Some people sing it to express
While others hear another call
Some people speak with subtleness
Some don't rely on words at all
But let me tell you 'bout...

[Chorus]
One thing I know
Everybody's got a seed to sow
Let your heart of hearts
Take you down the road
Everybody's got a seed to sow

We all are pieces of the whole
With different feelings to evoke
Giving distinction to the role
Different players-different strokes
But let me tell you 'bout...

[Chorus]

Some people walk
Some people race
Some people vary in their pace
But God can use what you can give
Within the mystery of His ways
Don't underestimate...

[Chorus]

Kimu nkimaanyi
Buli muntu alina ensiigo
Omutima gwo
Gukulung 'aamye
Buli muntu alina ensiigo

"She Walks With Me"

"She Walks With Me"


From the first breath of her life
She flew straight into my arms
I used to catch her from the swing
When she was five...
And now she dances on the wind
in a world as hard as stone
She's so anxious to begin
And ready to fly...

And she walks with me
And she talks with me
And I hold her hand in mine
I know she'll find her way
Like the light of day
Cause it's love that makes her strong

Though I cannot stop the rain
And I cannot turn the tide
And I am sure there will be things
That break her heart
I can only let her know
I am always on her side
And even as I let her go
I'll never be far

And she walks with me
And she talks with me
And I hold her hand in mine
I know she'll find her way
Like the light of day
Cause it's love that makes her strong

And she walks with me
And she talks with me
In my eyes she'll see my prayer
As she turns each page
Through this tender age
It is love that makes her strong
It's her love that makes her strong

"Signs"

"Signs"


You're weighed down with regret
You can't see the road ahead
Or the burden on your back
It seems the trek will never end
The winding paths that still descend
And up above the sky washed black
You just can't bear to look at that

Follow the signs, open your eyes
Read between the lines of what you see
Look into the soul of reality
Open your mind, look at the signs
Never look back at yesterday
Keep your gaze steady on the narrow way

Now you've found the sacred tree
You kneel upon the broken wheat
You watch your burden fall away
And all the things you once sought
Now are counted less than lost
For now you see the light of day
The signs were pointing all the way

Follow the signs, open your eyes
Read between the lines of what you see
Look into the soul of reality
Open your mind, look at the signs
Never look back at yesterday
Keep your gaze steady on the narrow way

Follow the signs, follow the signs
Open your eyes, look at the signs
Open your mind, follow the signs

Follow the signs, open your eyes
Read between the lines of what you see
Look into the soul of reality
Open your mind, look at the signs
Never look back at yesterday
Keep your gaze steady on the narrow way

Follow the signs
Open your mind, follow the signs
Open your eyes, look at the signs
Open your mind, follow the signs

"Silent Night"

"Silent Night"


Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep in heavenly peace

Silent night, holy night!
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories stream from heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing Alleluia!
Christ, the Saviour is born
Christ, the Saviour is born

Silent night, holy night
Son of God, love's pure light
Radiant beams from Thy holy face
With the dawn of redeeming grace
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth
Jesus, Lord, at Thy birth"

"Sky Spills Over"

"Sky Spills Over"


There's a rose in the desert
Blooming red in the drought
There's a quenching rain
In the wings of the gathering clouds

Lift your eyes
Look to the horizon now
There's still a hope for us
Reach up from the dust
And call it down

Can you hear
Can you hear that thunder
Sing His name, sing it out
'Til the sky spills over

I may just be dry bones
Stripped of sinew and skin
But the wind of His spirit
Will raise me up again

I lift my eyes
I look to the horizon now
Oh, there's still a song to sing
Fall down on your knees and cry aloud

Can you hear
Can you hear that thunder
Sing His name, sing it out
'Til the sky spills over

I hear the rolling thunder
Feel the pouring rain
My heart is filled with wonder
Only You remain
I see a new horizon
Coming up my way

I lift my eyes
I look to the horizon now
Oh, there's still a song to sing
Fall down on your knees and cry aloud

I can hear
I can hear that thunder
I'll sing Your name, sing it out
'Til the sky spills over
Oh, I can hear
I can hear that thunder
I'll sing Your name, sing it out
'Til the sky spills over, over

"Somebody Love Me"

"Somebody Love Me"


Counting every moment
Biding all my time
Standing out here on my own
Searching for that someone
To heal this heart of mine
And keep me from being alone
But when will it be
And how will I know
I don't want to wait here forever

Somebody love me
Come and carry me away
Somebody need me
To be the blue in their grey
Somebody want me
The way I've always dreamed it could be
Won't somebody love me, love me

I'm waiting for somebody
To dance across the floor
Sweeping me off of my feet
I'm looking for the right one
To open up that door
And offer me a tender retreat
It's like wanting to sing
But needing a song
When will I hear the music playing?

Somebody love me
Come and carry me away
Somebody need me
To be the blue in their grey
Somebody want me
The way I've always dreamed it could be
Won't somebody love me, love me

Somebody want me
The way I've always dreamed it could be
Somebody love me, love me
Somebody love me

Somebody love me
Come and carry me away
Somebody need me
To be the blue in their grey
Somebody want me
The way I've always dreamed it could be
Somebody love me, love me

Somebody love me
Come and carry me away
Somebody need me
To be the blue in their grey
Somebody want me
The way I've always dreamed it could be
Somebody love me, love me
