"11-6-64"

"11-6-64"


11-6-64 The sun shone a whole lot brighter
Than ever it had before- smiling down on me
At 1:09 PM both hands of time stopped turning
And you came waltzing in to change my world for good

And I was only 2 years old
So really, I don't know
Exactly what was going on
But I, I bet I laughed and played
Harder on that day
'Cause my whole world was changin' on

11-6-64 You breathed your first breath
And suddenly living life meant so much more
On the day that you were born

And I, well I was only 2
So I didn't have a clue
Of all that was transpiring
But I, I bet the sky was blue
And all the world looked new
'Cause everything was changing on

11-6-64
You breathed your first breath
And suddenly living life meant so much more
On the day that you were born

11-6-64
Suddenly living life meant so much more
On the day that you were born.

"A Little More Time To Love"

"A Little More Time To Love"


There’s a little boy looking at me in the mirror
He’s asking where the time has gone
Was it here just long enough to draw these lines on my face?
Well I’m not sure I’m much wiser
But some things are clearer
And it’s getting clear that I’m not here for long
So what am I to do with my few minutes here in this place?
And we hear the world sigh with its aches and its pains
We see the grass wither and watch flowers fade

But oh, there’s a day that is coming
When everything will be new
And oh, God will dry every tear
And everything sad will be made untrue
And oh, it’s gonna be a celebration
All of creation longs for
And while we’re waiting for that day to come
We’ve got a little more time to love

There are little ones hungry for love of a family
So many hungry for bread
On the left and the right surrounded by the last and the least
And just down the street and just across the table
Hungry hearts are waiting to be fed
‘Cause deep in our soul we’re all longing to be at The Feast
But until we sit down where there’s more than enough
Let us give as we’ve been given and love as we’ve been loved

There’s a day that is coming
When all the last will be first
Every orphan will be home
And all will be filled who hunger and thirst
It’s gonna be a celebration
All of creation longs for
And while we’re waiting for that day to come
We’ve got a little more time

To do justly and love mercy
And show the love we’ve been shown
For we can only be the hands and feet of Jesus ‘til
He leads us home
He will lead us home

There’s a day that is coming
A day that never will end
There in the light of His glory
Everything broken will be whole again
And this will be the celebration
All of creation longs for
And while we’re waiting for that day to come
We’ve got a little more time to love
Just a little more time to love
We’ve got just a little more time to love
Just a little more time to love

"All About Love"

"All About Love"


We've got CD sets and videos, radio and TV shows
Conferences, retreats and seminars
We've got books and magazines to read on everything from A to Z
And a web to surf from anywhere we are
But I hope with all this information buzzing through our brains
That we will not let our hearts forget the most important thing

Is love, love, love, love, love
It's all about love, love, love, love, love
Everything else comes down to this
Nothing any higher on the list than love
It's all about love

Now they're fighting in the middle east
And they're fighting down on Seventh Street
And there are fights in my own house on given days
It's like something's lurking deep inside
That can't seem to be satisfied
But life was not meant to be lived this way
'Cause it's true for every man and woman
Every boy and girl
That our only hope for living here together in this world

Is love, love, love, love, love
It's all about love, love, love, love, love
Everything else comes down to this
Nothing any higher on the list than love

This is the reason we were made
To know the love of our Creator
And to give the love He's given us away
Yeah, the Maker, and the Father, and the God of everything
He says to love, love, love
He says love, love, love
Love, love, love
'Cause after all, it's all about love

Gods says love, love, love, love, love, yea yea
It's all about love, love, love, love, love (love love love)
Everything else comes down to this
Nothing any higher on the list than love
'Cause after all, it's all about love

That's right, yeah (laugh)
Woo!
It's all about, yea yea
It's all about
All about love, love, love, love, love
It's all about love, love, love
Yea it's all about love love love
It's all about love love love (yea love)

After all don't you know?
That it really all comes down to love
After all don't you know that
Gonna tell you what it's all about, yeah
Yeah, it's all about love
Yeah, it's all about love, yeah
It's all about love,
Love, love, love

"All That's Left"

"All That's Left"


Slowly drawn
Moths to the flame
We think we're strong
We think we're anchored down
Then it comes
The hurricane
Down come the walls
Up come the foundations
We've been building on
And suddenly we'll see

That all that's left is to love
That's all that we have
That's all that we ever really had
And all that's left is to love
That's all that we have
That's all that we'll ever have

So let us look
Into each other's eyes
And read the stories
Written there between the lines
And take a list of all the wrongs we keep
And tear it into pieces
Let mercy be the only thing we're harboring
'Cause eventually
We're gonna see

That all that's left is to love
That's all that we have
That's all that we ever really had
And all that's left is to love
That's all that we have
That's all that we'll ever have

This is why our hearts are beating
To love each other
As we have been loved
Everything else is a fleeting shadow
But love endures all things, believes all things
Hopes all things
Love never ends
Love never ends

That all that's left is to love
That's all that we have
That's all that we ever really had
And all that's left is to love
That's all that we have
That's all that we'll ever have
All we really ever had
All we have in the end is love

Oh, the only thing that matters is to love
This is the only lasting treasure
Love endures all things, and believes all things
And hopes all things
Yeah, love endures all things, and believes all things
And hopes all things
(all that's left is to love)

"All Things New"

"All Things New"


Who spoke and made the sunrise, to light up the very first day
Who breathed across the water, to start up the very first wave
It was You

You introduced Your glory, to every living creature on earth
And they started singing the first song to ever be heard
They sang for You

You make all things new
You make all things new

But then the world was broken, fallen and battered and scarred
You took the hopeless, the life wasted, ruined and marred
And made it new

You make all things new
You make all things new
You redeem and You transform
You renew and You restore
You make all things new
You make all things new
And forever we will watch and worship You

You turn winter into spring
You take every living thing
And you breathe the breath of life into it over and over again

You make the sunrise day after day after day
But there's a morning coming when old things will all pass away
And everyone will see

You make all things new (hallelujah)
You make all things new (hallelujah)
Come redeem and come transform
Come renew and restore

You make all things new (hallelujah)
You make all things new (hallelujah)
And forever we will watch and worship You
Now and forever, You are making all things new
You're making all things new

"Amen"

"Amen"


You have given us
A new name
The sons and daughters of your righteousness
You have taking all of our shame
And given us the gift of holiness
Lord we're crying out for faith
To believe the words you say

You say we are loved
You say we belong to you
Your grace is enough
Nothing more that we can do
You say we've been bought by your blood, by your blood
And all that we can say is amen.

You have given us a new hope
An anchor for the soul that shall not fail
Jesus we believe your truth shines
Yes in the darkest night, you shall prevail,
Lord we're crying out for faith
To believe the words you say.

You say we are loved
You say we belong to you
Your grace is enough
Nothing more that we can do
You say we've been bought by your blood, by your blood
And all that we can say is amen.

Amen, your word is true.
Amen, we trust in you.
[x3]

You say we are loved
You say we belong to you
Your grace is enough
Nothing more that we can do
You say we've been bought by your blood, by your blood
And all that we can say is amen.

Amen...

"Angels From The Realms Of Glory"

"Angels From The Realms Of Glory"


Angels from the realms of glory,
Wing your flight o'er all the earth;
Ye who sang creation's story
Now proclaim Messiah's birth

Shepherds, in the field abiding,
Watching o'er your flocks by night,
God with us is now residing;
Yonder shines the infant light

Come and worship, come and worship,
Come and worship, Christ the newborn king.
Come and worship, come and worship,
Come and worship, Christ the newborn king.

Sinners, wrung with true repentance,
Doomed for guilt to endless pains,
Justice now revokes the sentence,
Mercy calls you, break your chains

Come and worship, come and worship,
Come and worship, Christ the newborn king.
Come and worship, come and worship,
Come and worship, Christ the newborn king.

Though an Infant now we view Him,
He shall fill His Father's throne,
Gather all the nations to Him;
Every knee shall then bow down:

All creation, join in praising
God, the Father, Spirit, Son,
Evermore your voices raising
To th'eternal Three in One.

Come and worship, come and worship,
Come and worship, Christ the newborn king.
Come and worship, come and worship,
Come and worship, Christ the newborn king.

"Angels We Have Heard On High"

"Angels We Have Heard On High"


Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
And the mountains in reply
Echo back their joyous strains
Gloria, Gloria

Shepherds, why this jubilee
Why your joyous strains prolong
Say what may these tidings be
Which inspire your heavenly song
Gloria, Gloria

Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo

Come to Bethlehem and see
Him whose birth the angels sing
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord, the new born King
Gloria, Gloria

Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo

We sing gloria
Gloria, in excelsis Deo
Gloria, in excelsis Deo

"Angels Wish"

"Angels Wish"


Was God smiling
When He spoke the words
That made the world
And did he cry about the flood
And what does God's voice sound like
When He sings, when He's angry
These are just a few things
That the angels have on me

[Chorus]
Well, I can't fly
At least not yet
I've got no halo on my head
And I can't even start to picture Heaven's beauty
But I've been shown the Savior's love
The grace of God has raised me up
To show me things the angels long to look into
And I know things
The Angels only wish they knew

I have seen the dark and desperate place
Where sin will take you
I've felt loneliness and shame
And I have watched the blinding light of grace
Come breaking through with a sweetness
Only tasted by the forgiven and redeemed

[Chorus]

And someday I'll sit down with my angel friends
Up in Heaven
They'll tell me about creation
And I'll tell them a story of grace

[Chorus]
