"Start All Over On Mars"

"Start All Over On Mars"


Sometimes I wonder how You could ever love us
We're never satisfied no matter what You do
You send the rain and we complain there's no sunshine
Yet every breath we take is all because of You

Only heaven knows the pain we put
You through
I don't know what You're thinking Lord
But I know what I would do

I'd start all over on Mars
Create a world that is far away
From our ungratefulness
If I were the God that You are
I would be tempted to walk away
Wash my hands of this crazy mess
Make a world that would follow Your heart
I'd start all over on Mars

Sometimes I wonder will things get any better
Looks like we haven't changed since the dawn of time
You light the way still we stay in darkness
And we try to tell ourselves that we will be just fine

Only heaven knows the pain we put You through
I don't know what You're thinking Lord
But I know what I would do

Lord, I'm sure that You know where this crazy world is headed
And I'm sure You know just what the future holds
Don't give up on us Lord, even though we don't deserve it
It's good to know that You're in control

"Strong City"

"Strong City"


In this world we will have fear and hurt
And you can rest assured
That God has overcome
He will deliver us
He will deliver us
And His greatness will not be shadowed
And His kingdom will last forever

[CHORUS]
We have a strong city
Waiting for us
There is hope
There is peace
There is rest
In this strong city
We can run to His love
We’ll find hope
We’ll find peace
We’ll find rest
Here in this strong city of God
This strong, strong city of God

We all have days that we just can’t escape
Everything we try
Every trial we face
It gets the best of us
Our strength is not enough
But His greatness will not be shadowed
And His kingdom will last forever, forever

[CHORUS]

He’s a refuge and a shelter
For the weak and for the weary
He is healer and protector
For the broken and the needy
He’s a refuge and a shelter
For the weak and for the weary
He is healer and protector
For the broken and the needy
He’s a refuge and a shelter
For the weak and for the weary
He is healer and protector
For the helpless, for the broken and the needy
Strong city, Strong city of God

[CHORUS]

"Swallow The Ocean"

"Swallow The Ocean"


Who can stand apart from Your presence?
Once we have tasted, the goodness of Your love.
Who can change a heart? Only You can.
We're restless and thirsty, for healing from above.
You break the heavens open,
and I'm trying to swallow the ocean.

[Chorus:]
I'm coming alive with You.
I'm coming undone with You.
I'm coming away with You.
With the faith of a child I come.
With my hands lifted high I come.
I'm coming alive with You.

Who can know Your thoughts and Your purpose?
I want to join in, to listen and obey.
Who can do the things that You can?
If its impossible, Lord You know the way.
You break the heavens open,
and I'm trying to swallow the ocean.

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
You make all things new [x5]

[Chorus]

"Talking To You"

"Talking To You"


There's a voice that you alone can hear inside
If you listen, it will be your guide in life
Step by step, helping you along
You don't ever have to be alone, all alone

And it's talking to you
Softly speaking, teaching you the way
And it's talking to you
Can't you hear the voice of the Lord

Holy Spirit, closer than the breath we breathe
Gentle helper prompting every word we speak
Giving peace to all who will obey
Encouraging us on everyday, everyday

And it's talking to you
Softly speaking, teaching you the way
And it's talking to you
Can't you hear the voice of the Lord

He speaks so quietly
So listen closely
His voice is the only one you need to hear

Talking to you
Softly speaking, teaching you the way
And it's talking to you
Can't you hear the voice of the Lord
Can't you hear the voice of the Lord

Softly speaking, teaching you the way
Can't you hear the voice of the Lord
Talking to you

"That's What Mercy Is"

"That's What Mercy Is"


It’s a blue sky morning
It’s a new day dawning
It’s a million miles from a past that’s haunted you forever

It’s a prayer that’s answered
It’s a second chance for
A life you never ever even dreamed that you could live

That’s what mercy is
It’s the hand that reaches down and lifts you up again
No matter where you’ve been
That’s what mercy is
It’s the voice that’s calling out come back home again
You can come back home again
Picture waking up to find that you’re brand new
That’s what mercy is

It’s the word forgiven
Shouted straight from heaven
To a heart that’s broken
From the only one who’ll make it whole again

It’s a song of freedom
Sung for all who’ll listen
There’s a door wide open
Saying all you weary souls come right on in

That’s what mercy is
It’s the hand that reaches down and lifts you up again
No matter where you’ve been
That’s what mercy is
It’s the voice that’s calling out come back home again
You can come back home again
Picture waking up to find that you’re brand new
That’s what mercy is

It’s a cross, it’s a grave, it’s a stone that’s rolled away
It’s three nails that held the price for all our sin
It’s a Father, it’s a Son, knowing something must be done
It’s the greatest gift of love that’s ever been
That’s what mercy is

"The Best Christmas Ever"
(feat. Jody King)

"The Best Christmas Ever"
(feat. Jody King)



We finished second in the snowball fight
But some hot chocolate made it all alright
I can finally feel my fingers
It's gonna be the best Christmas ever
We're gonna need a few more lights than we've got
'Cause we just bought the biggest tree in the lot
Yeah we're going all out
It's gonna be the best Christmas ever

When the snow starts falling
Friends come calling
You can feel the love in the air
Singing Carols by the fire
Presents are piling higher
It's your favorite time of the year
Come on let's make this December
One to remember
A feeling we can hold on to
It's gonna be the best Christmas ever
The best Christmas ever with you

The smell of sugar cookies fills the house
Trying to sneak a couple, but they kick me out
I can stop my diet next year
It's gonna be the best Christmas ever
The kids are wide wake
When they should be in bed
They're hoping to catch a peak of the man in red
If they could only see him
That would be the best Christmas ever, yeah

And me, with all our friends and family
Singing joy to the world
Love is come
Let's light a candle
Say a prayer
Peace on earth everywhere
Come on let's get together
For the best Christmas ever...

"The Christmas Blessing"

"The Christmas Blessing"


I remember our first Christmas
We were young and so in love
Nothing to give but we had each other
Somehow it was more than enough

I remember how I held you
And said I'd never let you go
Now here we are another year another Christmas
And there's something you should know

This is my Christmas Blessing
This is my Christmas prayer
No matter where the years may take us
Love will find us there
And this is my Christmas promise
This is my gift to you
Forever we will be together
And God will see us thru and you'll have me and I'll have you

I know that heaven sent you to me
I know our loves a gift from God
And I'm reminded every Christmas
The wonder of it all

This is my Christmas Blessing
This is my Christmas prayer
No matter where the years may take us
Love will find us there
And this is my Christmas promise
This is my gift to you
Forever we will be together
And God will see us thru and you'll have me and I'll have you

Christmas is a time for us to tell the ones we love
Just how much we love them
Because God first loved us

This is my Christmas Blessing
This is my Christmas prayer
No matter where the years may take us
Love will find us there
And this is my Christmas promise
This is my gift to you
Forever we will be together
And God will see us thru and you'll have me and I'll have you

"The Christmas Hope"

"The Christmas Hope"


Her wish this Christmas
Was that Christmas would just pass her by
Nothing could reach her
Or answer her questions why
She feels so alone
And she wonders if all hope is gone
Hope is a candle
A light in the window
Showing the way for
A heart to come home
Hope is a Savior
Who was born in the manger
Sent down from Heaven
To rescue our hearts
Our Christmas hope
She never imagined
That for her there was hope to find
But isn't it amazing
How God brings a heart back to life
She's smiling now she's finding out
What Christmas hope is all about
Hope is a present
A gift freely given
To all who receive
And open their hearts
Hope is a promise
For a better tomorrow
In a world filled with sorrow
We always have hope
Our Christmas hope
Our Christmas hope

"The Christmas Shoes"

"The Christmas Shoes"


It was almost Christmas time
And there I stood in another line
Trying to buy that last gift or two
Not really in the Christmas mood
And standing right in front of me was a
Little boy waiting anxiously
Pacing around like little boys do
And in his hands he held
A pair of shoes

His clothes were worn and old
He was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

[Chorus:]
Sir I wanna buy these shoes
For my mama. please
It's Christmas eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry sir
Daddy says there's not much time
You see,
She's been sick for quite a while And I
know these shoes will make her smile And I
Want her to look beautiful
If mama meets Jesus tonight

They counted penny's for what seemed like years then the
Cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here."
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me and he said
"Mama made Christmas good at our house though
Most years she just did without, Tell me sir,
What am I gonna do?
Some how I gotta buy her these Christmas shoes."

So I laid the money down
I just had to help him out
And I'll never forget the look on his face when he said,
"Mama's gonna look so great."

[Repeat Chorus]

I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love as he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent me that little boy to remind me what Christmas is all about

[Repeat Chorus with children]

[Little girl:]
I want her to look beautiful if mama meets Jesus tonight

"The First Noel"

"The First Noel"


The First Noel, the Angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!

They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the East beyond them far
And to the earth it gave great light
And so it continued both day and night.
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel
Born is the King of Israel!
