"Do They Know"

"Do They Know"


I'm one of the chosen few
God chose to carry to
A hopeless and dying world
Good News.

I'm a disciple of
A caring Father's love,
A light to the world,
To show them the way.

[Chorus]
Do they know;
Can they see;
Jesus lives in me. [2x]

A vacant house comes alive
When somebody moves inside,
A light in the window means somebody's home;
I say Jesus lives in me,
But can everybody see
The light of His love that shines in my heart.

[Chorus]

A cloud of witnesses surrounds us,
Who long to share what we've received;
Tell me where will they see Jesus,
If not in you and me.

So we must let them know,
Let them see Jesus lives in you and me.
Let them know, let them see;
He is all they need,
Jesus is all we need.

"Do You Hear What I Hear?"

"Do You Hear What I Hear?"


Said the night wind to the little lamb
Do you see what I see?
Way up in the sky little lamb
Do you see what I see?
A star, a star
Dancing in the night
With a tail as big as a kite
With a tail as big as a kite

Said the little lamb to the shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
Ringing through the sky shepherd boy
Do you hear what I hear?
A song, a song
High above the tree
With a voice as big as the sea
With a voice as big as the sea

Said the shepherd boy to the mighty king
Do you know what I know?
In your palace wall mighty king
Do you know what I know?
A Child, a Child
Shivers in the cold
Let us bring Him silver and gold
Let us bring Him silver and gold

Said the king to the people everywhere
Listen to what I say
Pray for peace people everywhere
Listen to what I say
The Child, the Child
Sleeping in the night
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light
He will bring us goodness and light

He’s come to bring us goodness and light
Do you know what I know?
Do you see what I see?
Do you hear what I hear?
Do you hear what I hear?

"Don't Let The Fire Die"

"Don't Let The Fire Die"


I can still hear the prayers you prayed for me all those years
And I see now more than ever what a difference they have made

And I can still hear your words
Spoken from a heart of great concern
Saying keep your eyes on Jesus and love him more than anything

I've watched the wind blow hard against you
And I have seen your faith get weakened by the pain
And I want you to know that I will be prayin' for you
To hold on

Don't let the fire die
The flame has been dimmed by the tears that you cry
But I can still see the spark of His love in your eye
So don't let the fire, please don't let the fire die

This heavy weight you carry around
Of letting yourself and everybody down
Is pouring water on the passion that use to burn so bright

Well I know you've got your reasons for resentment
And I know it's more than I can understand
So just let me say that I am going to be praying for you
To let it all go

Don't let the fire die
The flame has been dimmed by the tears that you cry
But I can still see the spark of His love in your eye

And I'm not praying for the fire to burn the way it did before
Because I believe the one that started this flame in your heart
He wants to give you more

So Don't let the fire die
Don't let the fire die
Don't let the fire die
The flame has been dimmed by the tears that you cry
But I can still see the spark of His love in your eye

So don't let the fire, please don't let the fire die
Because I can still see the spark of His love in your eye

"Dying To Live"

"Dying To Live"


Another case of I wish I wouldn't have;
Another promise not to let Him down again.
Fighting battles in a war I thought was over;
The old man of sin died a long time ago,
But left behind a sinful nature deep within,
So if I want to win this fight,
There's a part of me that must die,
But I'm not gonna cry.

[Chorus]
'Cause I'm dying to live,
Live for Jesus.
Dying to give myself to Him,
And the life that He gives will be mine
If I am dying to live.
Dying to live,
Live for Jesus.
I want to give myself to Him;
Gonna give up - from now on I'm dying to live.

Giving up what I can't keep anyway,
To gain something that I know I'll never lose,
Trading in the temporary for the eternal,
And though it's settled, I'm reminded everyday;
To live or die to self - it's up to me to choose,
So if I want to win the fight there's a part of me
That must die.
Well I've said my goodbyes.

[Chorus]

"Echoes Of Eden"

"Echoes Of Eden"


What is it about a kiss that makes me feel like this...oh oh
What is it that makes my heart beat fast when I'm in your arms...oh oh
What is it about your touch that amazes me so much
How is it that your sweet smile can get me through the hardest mile...oh oh
What's the magic in your eyes that brings the love in me alive...oh oh
What is it about this dance the sweetness of our romance
That makes me feel this way

[Chorus]
These are the echoes of Eden
Reflections of what we were created for
Hints of the passion and freedom
That waits on the other side of Heaven's door
These are the echoes of Eden

How is it the sky turns gray anytime you're far away...oh oh
What is it that makes me sad anytime you're feeling bad...oh oh
What is it about this night the music and the candlelight
That makes me feel this way

[Chorus]

What is it about this night the music and the candlelight
That makes me feel this way...

"Facts Are Facts"

"Facts Are Facts"


Well I don't wanna' take up anybody's time
I'm just givin' my opinion with a rhythm and a clever rhyme
I don't want these words to sound
Like I think I've got it all figured out
But there are a few things I can say I know without a doubt

[Chorus:]
I know there's a God who knows my name
And a Son who died to take the blame
I believe that Jesus is coming back
'cause promises are promises and facts are facts

These days some say there's no one way to believe
Just keep it loose, you're free to choose
There's no absolute it's all relative you see
Calling all defenders of the truth
Live a life that spells out God's worldview
Let these words be heard in everything you say and do

[Chorus:]
I know there's a God who knows my name
And a Son who died to take the blame
I believe that Jesus is coming back
'cause promises are promises and facts are facts

As sure as there's a law of gravity
That says what goes up must come down
This is the ultimate reality
That God is, and God loves, and God can be found

Well I know there's a God who knows my name
Promises are promises and facts are facts
And a Son who died to take the blame
Promises are promises and facts are facts
And I believe that Jesus is coming back
'Cause promises are promises and facts are facts

[Chorus]

Promises are promises and facts are facts [x3]

"Faithful"

"Faithful"


I am broken, I am bleeding,
I'm scared and I'm confused,
but You are faithful.
Yes You are faithful.
I am weary, unbelieving.
God please help my unbelief!
Cuz You are faithful.
Yes You are faithful.

I will proclaim it to the world.
I will declare it to my heart
And sing it when the sun is shining.
I will scream it in the dark.

You are faithful!
You are faithful!
When you give and when You take away,
even then still Your name
is faithful!
You are faithful!
And with everything inside of me,
I am choosing to believe
You are faithful.

I am waiting for the rescue
that I know is sure to come,
cuz You are faithful.
Yes You are faithful.
I've dropped anchor in Your promises,
and I am holding on,
cuz You are faithful.
God You are faithful.

I will proclaim it to the world.
I will declare it to my heart
And sing it when the sun is shining.
I will scream it in the dark.

You are faithful!
You are faithful!
When you give and when You take away,
even then still Your name
is faithful!
You are faithful!
And with everything inside of me,
I am choosing to believe You're faithful.

So faithful...

Though I cannot have the answer
that I'm wanting to demand,
I'll remember You are God
and everything is in Your hand.
In Your hands you hold the sun, the moon,
the stars up in the sky,
for the sake of Love, You hung Your own Son
on the cross...to die...

You are faithful...
Yes, You are faithful...
When you give and when You take away,
even then, great is Your faithfulness!
Great is Your faithfulness!

And with everything inside of me,
I am choosing to believe You're faithful!
Oh, oh, oh...
Oh, oh, oh...
When you give and when You take away,
even then still Your name
is faithful!
You are faithful!
And with everything inside of me,
I am choosing to believe...

...You're faithful...

"Faithful Too"

"Faithful Too"


It's a brand new day and the sun is shining bright;
Looks like it's gonna be the very best day of my life.
So I jump out of bed into a world of opportunities;
I gotta get movin', no time to get down on my knees.
Then the telephone rings;
It's the voice of tragedy.
No I suddenly find
The time to get down on my knees.

[Chorus]
I say, "I love You",
I always look to You when trouble calls my name;
But if I'm gonna say, "I love You",
I've gotta be faithful too .
The true test of my love will be
Did I follow you consistently,
Through the good and bad;
I want to be faithful too.

Talk is cheap;
Some words come a dozen for a dime.
But a real life conversation
Will take some precious time,
And if I give my all,
Lord that's the least that I can do,
Compared to all the faithfulness
I have found in You.
So if tragedy calls,
Or if everything goes my way,
I want to be found
Faithful to you every day.

[Chorus]

"February 20th"

"February 20th"


February 20th 2008
On the floor with her mom
Puttin' her shoes on
Getting ready for another day

February 20th
She says, 'Mom, is it true?
Does God really have a big, big house
Does it really have a lot of rooms?'
And she says,
'I really, really want to go there.'
And I said, 'Why don't we just talk to him.'
And that's what we did
On February 20th

February 20th
I did my best to explain
How it is that we all go to be with God
How it was the Savior came

February 20th
If it's true what he said
God himself sang along with the beautiful song
Of rejoicing in heaven
She said, 'Jesus please come and live in my heart.
And someday, can I come live with you?'
We could never have imagined
She'd be going there so soon

So soon

So soon

God only knows
Everything that happened in that moment
God only knows
What he whispered to her heart
God only knows
Just how thankful I will always be
That he gave her mom and me
February 20th

"Feet Of Jesus"

"Feet Of Jesus"


At the feet of Jesus I will lay my burdens down
I will lay my heavy burdens down
In the stillness I can hear my Savior calling out
Come to me and lay your burdens down

So I will lay down my struggles
I will lay down my shame
All the fear I drag around through this life
like a ball and chain
(All my questions and confusion)
I will sing Hallelujah to the One who sets me free
And you will find me at the feet of Jesus

In the arms of Jesus I will find my peace and rest
I hear him calling come to me and rest
Carried by my shepherd cradled tightly to His chest
There and there alone my soul finds rest

So I will rest in the shelter of my Savior’s embrace
Hidden safely in the refuge of His mercy and His Grace
And I Will Sing Hallelujah to the One who sets me free
And you will find me in the arms of Jesus

At the feet of my Savior
At the feet of my King
I will bow down and worship
I will lift my voice and sing
Hallelujah Hallelujah to the One who sets me free
You will find me at the feet of Jesus
