"Someday"

"Someday"


Sexual harassment, nuclear reactors.
Natural disasters from here to L.A.
Drug importers, New World Order
Wars over borders, murder on the subway.
The social classes, high rise in taxes.
Diplomats are passing with the promise again.
Talk of recession, people in depression.
Dow Jones, bank loans, the Japanese Yen.

I wait for Kingdom come,
When love will be here to stay.
It will change us everyone.
Someday, Someday.

Violence in the movies, drive-by shootings
Roiting and looting with the boys in the hood.
Cults and religions, deadly premonitions.
Firey opositions, evil battling good.
AIDS awareness, temporary mariage.
PRO LIFE, PRO CHOICE, Roe v. Wade.
Ethics and the media, tabloid tv
The Kennedy conspiracy, the trial of O.J.

I wait for Kingdom come,
When love will be here to stay.
It will change us everyone.
Someday, Someday.
Then Peace will make a stand.
And the anger will fall away.
See the Lion with the Lamb.
Someday, Someday, Someday.

I wait for Kingdom come,
When love will be here to stay.
It will change us everyone.
Someday, Someday.
Then Peace will make a stand.
And the anger will fall away.
See the Lion with the Lamb.
Someday, Someday, Someday.

Someday, Someday.
Then Peace will make a stand.
And the anger will fall away.
See the Lion with the Lamb...

"Somewhere In My Memory"

"Somewhere In My Memory"


Candles in the window
Shadows painting the ceiling
Gazing at the fire glow
Feeling that gingerbread feeling

Precious moments, special people
Happy faces, I can see

Somewhere in my memory
Christmas joys all around me
Living in my memory
All of the music, all of the magic
All of the family, home here with me

Precious moments, special people
Happy faces, I can see

Somewhere in my memory
All of the music, all of the magic
All of the family, home here with me

"Somewhere Somehow"

"Somewhere Somehow"


Standing in our silence
I hear my heart beating
And if only I could choose
I'd stay here with you
But hold me till the train is leaving

Somewhere down the line
After you've gone from sight
Our love will be the same
And, whispering your name,
I'll cling to you with all my might

Let me dream of you
But it's true
And wake me up when this is over
Love will be there when this is over and

[Chorus:]
Somewhere far beyond today
I will find a way to find you
And somehow thru the lonely nights
I will leave a light in the dark
Let it lead you to my heart

There's a love inside us
Deep down inside
That goes without saying
Don't say a word
But I'll tell you just the same
And that love will fan the flame
And that flame will warm the heart that's waiting

You are mine and I'll wait for you my love
You are mine it may take some time
Even if it takes a lifetime
Tell me you'll wait

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
And somewhere alone
I will be praying you home
I know that somewhere our love

Our love will lead me to your arms

[Chorus]

"Sovereign Over Us"

"Sovereign Over Us"


There is strength within the sorrow
There is beauty in our tears
And You meet us in our mourning
With a love that casts out fear
You are working in our waiting
You're sanctifying us
When beyond our understanding
You're teaching us to trust

Your plans are still to prosper
You have not forgotten us
You're with us in the fire and the flood
You're faithful forever
Perfect in love
You are sovereign over us

You are wisdom unimagined
Who could understand Your ways
Reigning high above the Heavens
Reaching down in endless grace
You're the lifter of the lowly
Compassionate and kind
You surround and You uphold me
And Your promises are my delight

Your plans are still to prosper
You have not forgotten us
You're with us in the fire and the flood
You're faithful forever
Perfect in love
You are sovereign over us
[x2]

Even what the enemy means for evil
You turn it for our good
You turn it for our good and for Your glory
Even in the valley, You are faithful
You're working for our good
You're working for our good and for Your glory
[x2]

Your plans are still to prosper
You have not forgotten us
You're with us in the fire and the flood
You're faithful forever
Perfect in love
You are sovereign over us
[x2]

You're faithful forever
Perfect in love
You are sovereign over us

"Straight To The Heart"

"Straight To The Heart"


When I'm down, when my soul's in need of rest
Come your words of comfort and of hope
I see your face always smiling back at me
A stream of light running straight to the heart

Child of God, child of light
There'll be no more lonely nights
'Cause you have brightened up my life

There's a road that leads me to this place
A path of love running straight to the heart

Over the years
I've learned one important thing
It's that real friends
Shall never truly be apart

You were there
In my darkest time of need
With a hand
Reaching straight to the heart

Child of God, child of light
There'll be no more lonely nights
'Cause you have brightened up my life

Take this gift it is all I have to give
A prayer of love
Forever straight to the heart
A prayer of love
Forever straight to the heart

"Take Me Over"

"Take Me Over"


Just to rest in your arms
Close enough to hear your heart
Just to kneel at your feet
Where everything fades away and I sing

Jesus, Jesus, take me over now
I surrender
Everything I have, I lay it down
All of me

With just a glimpse of your face
All my fears melt away
Lost within your embrace
I'm pouring out all my admiration

"Take My Breath Away"

"Take My Breath Away"


Always so beautiful
The earth displays Your majesty
How could you ever be
So mindful of
Someone as me?

You captivate
Splendor I have never seen
Nothing else can compare
You're infinite
You're everywhere

You're everything I can't explain
You set my heart up higher
And here I stand amazed
You take my breath away
You take my breath away

You've seen me all I am
These empty hands are all I can give
That you would die so I live
Sacrifice I can't believe
You fascinate
You stole my heart
I can't forget
And now that I've felt Your love
No turning back
I can't get enough

You're everything I can't explain
You set my heart up higher
And here I stand amazed
You take my breath away

The morning breaks
My soul awakes
You are my one desire

And here I stand amazed
You take my breath away
You take my breath away, yeah-ay
Whoah-oh

With just one word
With just one glance
I'm lost in this devine moment
And every single day
More than I can say
You take my breath away

You're everything I can't explain
You set my heart up higher
And here I stand amazed
You take my breath away

The morning breaks
My soul awakes
You are my one desire
And here I stand amazed
You take my breath away

Sing oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Take my breath away

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Whoah-oh, oh-oh
Whoah-oh, oh-oh
Take my breath away
You take my breath away

"Tearin' Down The Wall"

"Tearin' Down The Wall"


Tearin' down the wall

Tearin' down the wall
Getting closer
Further ever and ever and ever

Tearin' down the wall
Getting closer
Further ever and ever and ever

Tearin' down the wall
Getting closer
Further ever and ever and ever

Tearin' down the wall
Getting closer
Further ever and ever and ever
Tearin' down the wall, the wall, the wall

"The Happiest Christmas"

"The Happiest Christmas"


Oh the happiest Christmas
Is a homecoming Christmas
With the snow fluttering down 'til the world seems new

[Chorus]
Bright candles burning
Old friends returning
The wishes of children coming true
And the happiest wishes are just old fashioned wishes
May your days be merry, your sorrows be small
May the ones you love be near you
That's the happiest Christmas of all

[Repeat chorus]
