"As The World Slept"

"As The World Slept"


There were no palaces or crowns,
Majestic robes or gowns
Waiting for the coming of the King
They were looking for a sign,
Hope in desperate times
A miracle that only God could bring

Many still were dreaming about the day that He would come
Could it be that Bethlehem held the Chosen One

As the world slept, one silent night
A Savior's born and all creation smiles
As the world slept, one holy night
And to the manger low crept Heaven's Child
O could it really be that Mary did conceive
And bear the holy One, God's only Son
As the world slept

While shepherds watched their flocks by night
Behold, an angel from on high
Proclaimed to them the Prince of Peace had come
A star of wonder led the way
To the stable where He lay
The gift of love from God to everyone

Many still were praying for a kingdom here on earth
Could it be that heaven's answer was in this baby's birth?

"Away In A Manger / God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen"

"Away In A Manger / God Rest Ye, Merry Gentlemen"


Away in a manger,
No crib for His bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head

The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He lay
The little Lord Jesus
Asleep on the hay

Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask You to stay
Close by me forever
And love me, I pray

Bless all the dear children
In Your tender care
And take us to heaven
To live with You there

God rest ye merry, gentlemen
Let nothing you dismay
Remember, Christ, our Saviour
Was born on Christmas day
To save us all from Satan's power
When we were gone astray
O tidings of comfort and joy,
Comfort and joy
O tidings of comfort and joy

"Back Where You Belong"

"Back Where You Belong"


I hear you saying that you're life is an illusion.
There's something missing deep inside.
I think you know that there is only one solution,
You're Father's waiting for you with arms open wide.

If you just believe then you see he's all you need,
Don't you think it's time to come back home,
Back where you belong.
There's more to this life than only trying to survive,
Don't you think it's time to come back home,
Back where you belong.

Only time will tell just what your heart is saying,
The final answer's up to you.
There's no need to play the games that you've been playing,
You've got to give Him everything, it's all thats left to do.

If you just believe then you will see he's all you need,
Don't you think it's time to come back home,
Back where you belong.
There's more to this life than only trying to survive,
Don't you think it's time to come back home,
Back where you belong.

You've been trying for so long to work it out,
Don't you know you need to turn your life around?

If you just believe then you will see he's all you need,
Don't you think it's time to come back home,
Back where you belong.
There's more to this life than only trying to survive,
Don't you think it's time to come back home,
Back where you belong.

"Beauty Of Our God"

"Beauty Of Our God"


See the colors of the rainbow
He painted them by hand
His eye is on the sparrow
And every hair that’s on your head
And did you ever think that nothing has ever slipped His mind
And though He’s got the whole world in His hand
If you call Him He’s got time
He’s the light in the dark place
He’s the smile on a child’s face
Hey you, don’t you know
Good days come and good days go
But He loves you
That’s the beauty of our God
It’s all right, it’s okay
Tomorrow is another day
And He’s been there
That’s the beauty of our God
That’s the beauty of our God
Listen close you’ll hear Him whisper
Surprising you with joy
You can dream about the future
But His plans are so much more
He’s the God of every wonder
Still He knows you by your name
Though He knows sometimes we stumble
He loves us just the same
He’s the light in a dark place
He’s the smile on a child’s face
Hey you, don’t you know?
Good days come and good days go
But He loves you
That’s the beauty of our God
It’s all right, it’s okay
Tomorrow is another day
And He’s been there
That’s the beauty of our God
That’s the beauty of our God

"Before The Day"

"Before The Day"


Last night when I was sleeping
You were watching over me
While I dreamt about tomorrow
You knew my every need
Now another day is waiting
For me to make it through
And there's no way that I could face it without You
Before the day slips away
I want to stop and say
I love You I love You
Before the world rushes in again
I want to stop and say there's none above You
There's none above You
I'll just be still and know You are God
Be still and know You are God
There's something about the morning
The stillness of it all
It calms my heart to hear You
When You gently call
Here I am in Your presence
Where I long to be
Alone with You in the silence
Bring down Your love and Your mercy
Whisper softly to me

"Bellwether"

"Bellwether"


Every shepherd has a sheep
That he calls the bellwether
And everywhere the shepherd goes
He's with him
The bellwether soon understands
The heart of the shepherd
And the bond between them grows every day
In every way

And the bellwether walks with the lost sheep
Spends his time with those who have roamed
And when he returns to the shepherd
One by one, they follow him home

God's only son left His throne
To become our bellwether
His life He gave to seek and save
The lost sheep
The perfect lamb who knew no sin
Said "here am I, send me"
I'll lead the way so those who strayed
Can follow
Follow me home

And the bellwether walks with the lost sheep
Spends his time with those who have roamed
And when he returns to the shepherd
One by one, they follow him home

Now He waits for me and you
To take them the good news
There is a path that leads them home to safety
They're hurting and they're scared
Scattered everywhere
They need to know with open arms, He's waiting

And the bellwether walks with the lost sheep
Spends his time with those who have roamed
And when he returns to the shepherd
One by one, they follow him home

And the bellwether walks with the lost sheep
Spends his time with those who have roamed
And when he returns to the shepherd
One by one, they follow him home

Follow him home
Follow him home

"Bethlehem Calls"

"Bethlehem Calls"


The star in the East said come
The wise men everyone
Heaven's angel choir said come
Come see the promised One

Christ is the Babe
Who has come to save us all
Save us all

O come let us adore Him
O come let us adore Him
Bethlehem calls
To the great and the small
It's Christmas, won't you come

Now the heart of God says come
To the broken and wounded ones
No matter how far you've run
His mercy calls out to come

He came so we could come
He said come all you're weary ones
Who would have thought
That a king would leave His throne
So we could come

O come let us adore Him [x4]
Bethlehem calls
To the great and the small
It's Christmas, won't you come

"Between The Cross And Crown"

"Between The Cross And Crown"


Not one of us will get through life unscarred
If no wounds upon our body, then our hearts
Lord you work all things by Your plan
And nothing comes without passing through Your hand
[Chorus]
And You are sovereign over all that's been broken by the fall
So give us strength, Lord, here and now
In the days between The Cross and Crown
We long for hope for when this world's restored
When every knee will bow to You, and call You "Lord"
But till then, Your Spirit's here to guide
Our Comforter, Counselor, The Breath of Life
[Chorus]
In the days between The Cross and Crown
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Give us strength, Lord, here and now
In the days between The Cross and Crown
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Lord, give us strength, oh here and now
In the days between The Cross and Crown
In the days between The Cross and Crown
In the days between The Cross and Crown

"Blessed Be Your Name"

"Blessed Be Your Name"


Blessed be Your Name
In the land that is plentiful
Where Your streams of abundance flow
Blessed be Your name
Blessed Be Your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be Your name

Every blessing You pour out
I'll turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say

Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be Your glorious name

Blessed be Your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's 'all as it should be'
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, blessed be Your name

"Can't Keep A Good Man Down"

"Can't Keep A Good Man Down"


Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

He said goodbye to the angels of heaven
And He came to earth as a common man
He taught us how we could love one another
There was healing in His hands
There were those who believed and followed Him
And there were those who wanted Him dead
They thought the grave would silence Him forever
But they found out instead

You can close your eyes
You can say it's a lie
You can stick your head in the sand
You can turn away, even try to explain
He was just another man
When they nailed Him to the cross by His hands and feet
and they put Him in the ground
Three days later everybody found out that you can't
No you can't keep a good man down, no
No you can't keep a good man down

I hear you say that it all sounds crazy
It's a good story but it can't be true
How could a man who was dead and buried
Mean a thing to me and you
Here we are two thousand years later
and still the choice is just the same
You can say that you don't believe it
But it doesn't change a thing

You can close your eyes
You can say it's a lie
You can stick your head in the sand
You can turn away, even try to explain
He was just another man
When they nailed Him to the cross by His hands and feet
and they put Him in the ground
Three days later everybody found out that you can't
No you can't keep a good man down, no
No you can't keep a good man down

I can take you to the hill where they hung Him on the cross
I can take you to the empty tomb
I can tell you He's alive 'cause He lives in me
But the rest is up to you

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

You can close your eyes
You can say it's a lie
You can stick your head in the sand
You can turn away, even try to explain
He was just another man
When they nailed Him to the cross by His hands and feet
and they put Him in the ground
Three days later everybody found out that you can't
No you can't keep a good man down, no
No you can't keep a good man down

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah

Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah
