"In The Bleak Midwinter"

"In The Bleak Midwinter"


In the bleak midwinter
Frosty wind made moan
Earth stood hard as iron
Water like a stone
Snow had fallen, snow on snow
Snow on snow
In the bleak midwinter
Long, long ago

What can I give him
Poor as I am
If I were a shepherd
I would bring a lamb
And if I were a wise man
I would do my part
Yet what can I give Him
Give Him my heart

I’ll give Him my heart
I’ll give Him my heart

And if I were a wise man
I would do my part
Yet what can I give Him
I’ll give Him my heart

Here’s my heart
I will give Him my heart

"In This Little Room"

"In This Little Room"


In this little room I put my pen to the paper,
To write what's in my heart down on a page;
With every line, a silent prayer is being lifted
That the song will somehow find its way
From this little room to your heart.

In this little room with just a microphone to hear me,
I sing what's in my heart while the music plays;
And with every line, a silent prayer is being lifted
That the song will somehow find its way
From this little room to your heart.

I close my eyes imagining your faces;
I see the smiles, the tears, the joys, the pain.
We may be strangers but I can give this song to you,
Because the One who gave me this song knows your name,
He knows your name, He knows your name.

In this little room tonight I'll be praying,
As Jesus comes to meet you where you are,
We'll hear His voice together if we listen,
And we'll find it's really not that far
From this little room, from this little room,
From this little room to your heart.

"It Came Upon A Midnight Clear"

"It Came Upon A Midnight Clear"


It came upon the midnight clear
That glorious song of old
From angels bending near the earth
To touch their harps of gold
"Peace on the earth, good will to men
From Heaven's all gracious King"
The world in solemn stillness lay
To hear the angels sing

Yet with the woes of sin and strife
The world has suffered long
Beneath the angel strain have rolled
Two thousand years of wrong
And man at war with man, hears not
The love-song which they bring
O hush the noise, ye men of strife
And hear the angels sing

And ye, beneath life's crushing load
Whose forms are bending low
Who toil along the climbing way
With painful steps and slow
Look now, for glad and golden hours
Come swiftly on the wing
O rest beside the weary road
And hear the angels sing

Hallelujah, Christ the Savior is born

"Jesus Is Life"

"Jesus Is Life"


Ladies and Gentleman, children of all ages
Anyone listening, I've got an announcement to make
There's been some confusion about a certain someone
A lot of discussion and a lot of debate
So if I may take just a moment to say who Jesus is to me

Jesus is life, yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh
Jesus is life, yeah, oh, oh, oh,oh
The air I'm breathing
Why my heart is beating
Everything I'm needing
Jesus is life
Jesus is life

Imagine the deepest sea without a drop of water
An infinite galaxy without even one single star
That's how I would be...so absolutely empty
Without Jesus' life in me there'd be no life at all
More than just a part, He's the very heart of everything I am

Jesus is life, yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh
Jesus is life, yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh
The air I'm breathing
Why my heart is beating
Everything I'm needing
Jesus is life
Jesus is life

This is my position concerning my condition
This is my position concerning my condition
This is my position my life by definition

Jesus is life
Jesus is life
Jesus is life
Jesus is life

Jesus is life, yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh
Jesus is life, yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh
The air I'm breathing
Why my heart is beating
Everything I'm needing
Jesus is life yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh
Jesus is life, yeah, oh, oh, oh, oh
The air I'm breathing
Why my heart is beating
Everything I'm needing
Jesus is life
Jesus is life
Jesus is life
Yes he is
woo, yeaha

"Jesus Will Meet You There"

"Jesus Will Meet You There"


When you think you've hit the bottom
and the bottom gives way
and you fall into a darkness
no words can explain
and you don't know how you make it out alive
Jesus will meet you there.

When the doctor says, "I'm sorry,
we don't know what else to do."
and you're looking at your family
wondering how they'll make it through...
Whatever road this life takes you down,
Jesus will meet you there.

He knows the way to wherever you are
He knows the way to the depths of your heart
He knows the way cuz he's already been
where you're going
Jesus will meet you there.

When the jury says, "Guilty,"
and the prison doors close
When the one you love says nothing,
just packs up and goes
When the sunlight comes and your world's still dark,
Jesus will meet you there.

When you've failed again and all your
second chances have been used
And the heavy weight of guilt and shame
is crushing down on you...
And all you have is one last cry for help
Jesus will meet you there.

He knows the way to wherever you are
He knows the way to the depths of your heart
He knows the way cuz he's already been
where you're going

When you realize the dreams you've had
for your child won't come true
when the phone rings in the middle
of the night with tragic news...
Whatever valley you must walk through,
Jesus will meet you there.

He will meet you there.

Jesus will meet you there...

"Joy To The World"

"Joy To The World"


Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let Earth receive her King
Let every heart prepare Him room
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven and nature sing
And Heaven and nature sing

Joy to the world, the Savior reigns
Let men, their songs employ
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy

No more let sins and sorrows grow
Nor thorns infest the ground
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found
Far as the curse is found
As far as the curse is found

So sing for joy from the top of the mountains
Sing for joy from the dark valley floor
To the ends of the Earth
Let the news of His birth ring out loud
Bring joy to the world

He rules the Earth (with truth and grace)
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
Wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
Oh, the wonders of His love

Sing joy to the world

"Just Have To Wait"

"Just Have To Wait"


Well, I can't wait to see your smile again
The one when your eyes disappear along with all my troubles
And I can't wait to hear you sing a song
Maybe Jesus loves me or a song you learned up there

But I, oh, I'll just have to wait
'Cause I know that day is coming
So I, oh, I'll just have to wait

I can't wait to hear your mama laugh
The way that only you can make her laugh when you get silly
And I can't wait to see you in her arms
I know the wound so deep inside her heart is healed for good

But I, oh, I'll just have to wait
'Cause I know that day is coming
So I, oh, I'll just have to wait, oh, ohh

And I can't wait to dance with you again
Knowing that this time we dance
We'll never have to end

Oh, I, oh, I'll just have to wait
'Cause I know that day is coming
So I, oh, I'll just have to wait

And I can't wait to see your sisters play
The way they do when all of you are playing all together
I can't wait to watch your brother's face
When he can finally see with his own eyes everything's okay

And I just have to wait
'Cause I know that day is coming
And I just have to wait

"King Of The Jungle"

"King Of The Jungle"


Well, the day has just begun
And I'm already running late
With too many irons in the fire
And too much on my plate
I'd be pulling out my hair
If I could just get one hand free
And I'd stop this world
If I could find the key

What I feel
Is telling me I'm going crazy
But what is real
Says God's still on His throne
What I need
Is to remember one thing:
That the Lord of the gentle breeze
Is Lord of the rough and tumble
And He is the King of the jungle

People say this world's a jungle
And sometimes I must admit
I'd be scared to death
If I did not know who was king of it
But the truth is God created
This whole world with His own hand
So everything is under His command, and...

What I feel
Is telling me this world's gone crazy
But what is real
Says God's still on His throne
What I need
Is to remember one thing:
That the Lord of the gentle breeze
Is Lord of the rough and tumble
And He is the King of the jungle

K-i-n-g of the j-u-n-g-l-e
He's king of creation
K-i-n-g of the j-u-n-g-l-e
Ruler of all of the sky and the sea
K-i-n-g of the j-u-n-g-l-e
He's always in control
K-i-n-g of the j-u-n-g-l-e
He is the King of kings
K-i-n-g of the j-u-n-g-l-e
He's sitting on the throne
K-i-n-g of the j-u-n-g-l-e
He is the King of kings

"Land Of Opportunity"

"Land Of Opportunity"


Another day is off and running
And I hear somebody pounding on my door
It's opportunity knocking
Says what I need is just a little bit more
Every time I turn around I'm finding
Another chance to climb a little higher up
But it's never what I thought once I get there
And I'm left wondering "How much is enough?"

I can live like a prisoner to all that could be
I'm living in the land of opportunity
But a heart pure and simple
Is a heart that stays free
Living in the land of opportunity
I'm living in the land of opportunity

This is a world full of options
It's like a never ending buffet line
While all that I'm really needing
Is living water and the bread of life
So as I'm walking through this life making choices
There is one thing I must never forget
This land of opportunity has one God
If I seek Him first He'll take care of the rest

Seek ye first the kingdom of God
Seek ye first the kingdom of God

Seek ye first the kingdom of God
So many choices, so much it could be
Seek ye first the kingdom of God
Living in the land of opportunity

"Last Day On Earth"

"Last Day On Earth"


[Verse 1:]
I pull over to the side of the road
And I watch the cars pass me by
The headlights and the black limousines tell me
Someone is saying goodbye

I bow my head and I whisper a prayer,
"Father, comfort their broken hearts"
And as I drive away there's a thought that I
I cannot escape, no I, cannot escape this thought
I can't get away

[Chorus:]
Oh, if this should be my last day on this earth
How then shall I live?
Oh, if this should be the last day that I have

Before I breathe the air of Heaven
Let me live it with abandon to
The only thing that remains
After my last day here on earth

[Verse 2:]
If this should be my last day here on earth
If this should be my last day here on earth
If this should be my last, last day here on earth

And if tomorrow comes to find me
Looking in the face of Jesus
Will I hear Him say the words "well done"?

If this should be my last day here on earth
If this should be my last, my last day here on earth
Cause if this could be my last, this could be my last
This could be my last day
