"WooHoo"

"WooHoo"



Request the honor of your presence
The tear gas has blown away
Put down your crumpets and your coffee now
So unfashionably late
Little brother, little sister
Underwater we go
Out of our ordinary selves
Stepping out
To where the people sing

Woohoooooooooo
-and the people sing
-and the times are good

You say I'm acting like a beggar
I call it killing the fool
You carry more baggage
Than a momma's boy
On your first day of school

Let go the light of the t.v.
Drop the hands
The chains that bind me
Turn it all around
Stop, lift you up `n die to self
In a time when the left and the right's the same
When it's all blurred vision in a crazy haze
Send out the invitations!

You say I'm acting like a beggar
I call it killing the fool
To save your life you gotta lose it
So the people sing

"Yo Ho Hero"
(with Steve Taylor)

"Yo Ho Hero"
(with Steve Taylor)



Raise the mast on the steadfast!
Swifter than a bareback sea horse
Sailing the uncharted sea course
Who could survive such a dangerous mission
Alongside pirates with zero ambition

We got the coconuts poured
We drop the hooks overboard
And if you get a little seasick
We play the Haddock for a Hat trick

We got the hammocks on the main deck
(Swingin' low)
We got the butler doin' the hen-peck
(Screamin' so)
He say we shoulda been swabbin' the poop deck
(We dunno)
It's what the other pirates do do
But we're bringin' you

Yo ho heroes
Standin' in the gap
Where'd you put the toys
Time to take a nap

Yo Ho heroes
Flighty as a bird
Easy is the word
Yo, I'm seein' no heroes

We're on a limbo craze
It's a relic from our limber days
Now we're stuck inside the Limbo-Zone
Its where the pirates go with too much time and a missing spine

Yo ho heroes
Standing in the gap
Where'd you put the map
Take another nap

Yo ho heroes
Strike a better pose
That's the way it goes
Yo, I'm seein' no heroes

We're on the Bad Mood Swing
We haven't done one thing
Not even a minimum daily requirement
We got the funk without the Parliament

And if you're feelin' a little seasick
(rize and shine)
And if you wanna get off the guilt trip
(Now's the time)
Because the Captain of the Main Ship
(Rings the chime)
He could be comin' before you know Him
What are you gonna show Him

Go hero
Standing in the gap
Takin' up the slack
Followin' the King's Map

Go hero
Steady as a rock
I know it's a shock
Yo, there be a hero

Go hero
Standin' in the gap
Takin' up the slack
Followin' the King's Map

Go hero
Steady at the wheel
Keep an even keel
Yo, there be the King's hero

"You And Me"

"You And Me"


There was a time
When time was mine
I never lived for you
I couldn't see
That you and me
Were ever meant to be

[Chorus]
You and me were meant to be
You had a plan but I couldn't see
You and me were meant to be
You had a plan but I couldn't see

I looked today
And saw the way
The way I used to be
Your hand reached out
You lifted me
From the miry day

[Chorus]

You and me were meant to be
You got a plan and now I see

"You Are My King (Amazing Love)"

"You Are My King (Amazing Love)"



I'm forgiven because You were forsaken
I'm accepted, You were condemned
I'm alive and well, Your Spirit is within me
Because You died and rose again

Amazing love, how can it be
That You, my King, should die for me?
Amazing love, I know it's true
It's my joy to honor You
In all I do, to honor You

You are my King
You are my King
Jesus, You are my King
You are my King

"You Hold It All (Every Mountain)"

"You Hold It All (Every Mountain)"



From the highest of mountains
To the depths of the sea
From the planets in motion
To the breath that we breathe
From the womb of the barren
To the rich and the poor
To the dreams of the orphan
Every heart beat is Yours
You hold it all
(Every mountain, every valley)
You hold it all
(Every tear drop, every heartbeat)
In my weakness
You’re my victory
In my sickness
You surround me
I believe that You hold it all
It’s in the roar of the lions
It’s in the wind and the waves
It’s in the glory of sunrise
And the lives that You change
You stand alone in splendor
You reign in majesty
Your hands formed all creation
Your hands are holding me
You are my hope forever
You are the sovereign King
You are my friend and Savior
I believe that…
I believe that You hold us all
(Every mother, every father)
You hold us all
(Every son and every daughter)
You hold us all
(Every saint, every sinner)
(You are sovereign)
(You’re forever)
We believe that You hold us all
Yes, You hold us all

"You're Still There"

"You're Still There"


I lay on my bed
I try to sleep
My eyes won't close
My mind so deep

[Chorus]
You're still there
You still care -
Why do you draw me
You never left me

Time after time I've tried to make it alone
I felt like my life was failure prone
But you're still there
You still care
- you wait and see, you cry for me
Why do you draw me
You never left me

And when my life it has come to a close
I've run the good race and defeated my foes
You'll be there and you'll still care
You wait and see you cry for me
Why did you draw me, you never left me
Praise you

"Your Love Is Better Than Life"

"Your Love Is Better Than Life"



I dunno nothing that I haven't been taught,
I dunno why I was born into the family I've got,
I dunno if I ever had an original thought,
maybe not, maybe so, maybe later, I dunno
I dunno how I can end a prayer, then turn on a friend,
I dunno what I was thinking when I just pressed send,
I dunno why I still criticize the things I dunno
I dunno, I dunno, I dunno, but this one thing I know

YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, I'm just a broken machine
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, it's all a mindless routine
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, I'm in another free fall
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, I've got nothing at all

I dunno what goes down the moment we die
Do we get halos & harps? Do we sleep? Do we fly? I dunno
how, when and why this world will finally end,
Speculation's gonna grow, who knows best, I dunno
I dunno if I should push ahead or stop and grieve,
I lie awake and wonder how to make a city believe,
I dunno when it's a ministry and when it's a show
maybe neither, maybe both, I dunno, but this one thing I know

YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, I'm just a broken machine
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your touch I'm not a full human being
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
If I should ever leave, where would I go?
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
I look to you 'cause you're the lover of my soul

HERE'S TO THE LOVER OF MY SOUL
HERE'S TO THE LOVER OF MY SOUL

I dunno when to walk away or stand and fight
just when I've got it wrong, I'm sure I heard you right
and when my arguments are watertight you expose every hole with a flash and a flood and I know
I hear you call in the eye of the storm and I know you've had my back since the day I was born still
stoking my heart
still stirring my head
you're my pillar of fire
you're the wine, you're the bread, and

YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, I'm just a broken machine
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, it's all a mindless routine
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, I'm in another free fall
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
Without your love, I've got nothing at all

YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
I dunno nothing that I haven't been taught, I dunno why I was born into the family I've got,
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
I dunno if I ever had an original thought, maybe not, maybe so, maybe soon, maybe later, I dunno
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
I dunno when I've got it right or wrong, I dunno how I can wrap it in a four minute song, but I know
YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE
My grip is better when I'm not hanging on, your love is making us strong (all along)
Your love is better than life

"Your Love Never Fails"

"Your Love Never Fails"



Nothing can separate
Even if I run away
Your love never fails
I know I still make mistakes
You have new mercy for me everyday
Cause Your love never fails

You stay the same through the ages
Your love never changes
There may be pain in the night
But joy comes in the morning
And when the oceans rage
I don't have to be afraid
Because I know that You love me
Your love never fails

The wind is strong and the water's deep
But I'm not alone here in these open seas
Cause Your love never fails
The chasm is far too wide
I never thought I'd reach the other side
But Your love never fails

You make all things work together for my good
You make all things work together for my good
