MIRACLES

If you’re anything like me
You find yourself taking for granted
Everything you see
Things that we just rush right by most everyday

Like how the sun heats the day-
And how it’s so far away
And how it just keeps on burning and burning
And what the skies have to say
Can make the rain go away
And how the world keeps on turning and turning

I believe there are miracles all around us
And I’m so happy that one of them found us
Cause there’s nothing quite like the beautiful sound of love
Love is a miracle

Can you imagine
What life would be without the presence
Of our children’s laughter
These are things that we should hold so dear to our hearts

Instead we’re moving so fast
That we just don’t look around
We’ve learned to just keep on going and going but I
I think we’ve got to slow down
I think there’s more to be found
If we just keep on searching and searching

I believe there are miracles all around us
And I’m so happy that one of them found us
Cause there’s nothing quite like the beautiful sound of love
Love is a miracle

Love can open a heart
Love can sing a new song
Love can change a million minds and conquer something that’’s wrong
As for you and me
Love has definitely
Given us reason to know it’s a miracle

I believe there are miracles all around us
And I’m so happy that one of them found us
Cause there’s nothing quite like the beautiful sound of love
Love is a miracle

 


SWEET PROVIDENCE


I’ve been burning bridges left and right
Losing wars I should not fight
When I thought I was drifting we were bound

Cause your mercy is misunderstood
Where I see flaws you see the good
And lost is just a step away from found

All the damage I have done and left behind
Could you forgive me one more time?

Here I am a broken man
Under water seeking land
Trying to claw my way back to my innocence
Situation critical
Destination where you are
Cause you’re the only thing that’s making any sense
Oh sweet providence

Well I got crossed between the guilt and shame
Won’t ask for help won’t share the blame
Convinced myself I fell from grace with you

Ran a thousand miles to just to get nowhere
I felt my heart was hope impaired
Could not find the light to climb into

All the wreckage that I’ve caused and left behind
Still you forgive me one more time

Here I am a broken man
Under water seeking land
Trying to claw my way back to my innocence
Situation critical
Destination where you are
Cause you’re the only thing left making any sense
Oh come sweet providence

Love is patient
Love bears all things
Hopes, believes, endures

All the troubles that I couldn’t leave behind
I’ve been forgiven all this time

Here I am a broken man
Under water seeking land
Trying to claw my way back to my innocence
Situation critical
Destination where you are
Cause you’re the only thing that’s making any sense
Oh come sweet providence

 


THE ONLY SONG

I see the choir in the robes, the piano player plays
And they all sing hallelujah
All the people in the front and the people in the back
Are singing praises to Ya
And I close my eyes and let the music wash right over me
Just like the blood of the lamb that washed me clean

I'm looking through the book at the hymns
That a thousand men have written for You
“Amazing Grace” and “I'll Fly Away”
And “Joyful We Adore You”
And it occurred to me that the songs I sing, although they're beautiful
They just don't compare to the best one that I know

You are the melody, the words, You're the chorus
Cause You gladly laid Your life down for us
All the blessings that You bring
You're the only song I ever wanna sing.

All the sinners and the saints got something to say
But we know who gave 'em voices
And we're all down here in the atmosphere just making joyful noises
Birds are singing in the air, thunder crashes like a drum
Your song is everywhere; it was my first number 1

You are the melody the words, You're the chorus
Cause You gladly laid Your life down for us
All the blessings that You bring
You're the only song I ever wanna sing.

Sing Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Sing Hallelujah
Hallelujah

You are the melody, the words, You're the chorus
Cause You gladly laid your life down for us

You are the melody, the words, You're the chorus
Cause You gladly laid Your life down for us
All the blessings that You bring
Lord of Lords, and King of Kings
We will let our voices ring
You're the only song we ever wanna sing.
You're the only song I ever wanna sing (hallelujah)
You're the only song I ever wanna sing (hallelujah)
You're the only song I ever wanna sing.

 


THE MISSION FIELD


Oh feet don't fail me now
Lead me where I should go
Oh heaven's light shine down
On the mission field

Oh Father fill my heart
Make me Your vessel true
Oh let me do my part
On the mission field

Eyes are opened fates are sealed
Hope is born here wounds are healed
God is present love revealed
On the mission field

Let every heart that beats
Know that I stand with You.
My enemies, You defeat
On the mission field

Long as my breath is drawn
Let me bear witness to
All those who might be lost
On the mission field

Eyes are opened fates are sealed
Hope is born here wounds are healed
God is present love revealed
On the mission field

 


HOLD ON

I know you’re hanging by a tear drop
I know the walls are caving in
I know it feels just like a bad, bad dream
That never seems to end
I know your faith has taken a beating
But it’s stronger than you know, so
I got a friend & I think its time you meet him
And he will never let you go so…

Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Cause love don’t know how to lose
Love don’t know how to choose defeat
Hold on, keep holding on

I know you wonder if it’s worth it
Why you even try at all
Cause you’ve given every ounce of love you had
And you still can’t move this wall
But there’s something inside that’s keeping you from letting go
That’s the spirit crying, can you hear it crying

Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Cause love don’t know how to lose
Love don’t know how to choose defeat
Hold on, keep holding on

I know that you still believe there is a light
That is waiting for you
Right now you just can’t see it, oh but faith
Will take you there, so

Hold on, hold on, darlin’

Hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on
Cause love don’t know how to lose
Love don’t know how to choose defeat
Hold on, keep holding on
Hold on, keep holding on

 


HEALING


I used to pray for things that I don’t need
Trouble God with all my vanities
Used to pray for things that I shouldn’t want
I meant to give thanks---but I forgot

Now I pray for healing
I pray for peace
I pray for healing
For you and me

I used to pray that all my bills got paid
And that we'd get safely to the shows we played.
I used to think I didn't have enough...
Now I give because I know I have too much

And I pray for healing, Oh God, Send relief
I pray for healing
This time it's not for me

I used to pray my kids would grow up happy
Now I pray that they grow up at all
But I refuse to let these fears devour me
Cause I know it won’t be long
Before we’re standing tall again

I used to pray when things were not so fine
But now I find myself praying all the time
Now all the things that I used to pray for
Suddenly don’t mean a thing no more

Cause now I pray for healing
I pray for peace
I pray for healing for you
And for you
And for you
And for you
I pray for you
So pray for me
Pray for peace

 


I STILL BELIEVE IN LOVE


Ten years have passed and we're right where we were
Some things are better but so much is worse
I wonder sometimes if we're under a curse

What was once laughter has now turned to tears
And it seems now we're all just living in fear
And I can't help wondering how we got here, so far

But I still believe
I still believe in love

So much has happened and so much has changed
But then again I guess it's more of the same
And we have got only ourselves to blame

I think of what life will be like years from now
I hope things get better but I can't see how
When all of the lines that we've crossed can't be found nowhere

But I still believe
I still believe in love
Yes I still believe
I still believe

That God is the one who has made us
And God is the one who can save us
But God is the one we're afraid of believing

While all the world just keeps on fighting
All of out children keep dying
But I believe love just keeps trying to lead

But I still believe
I still believe in love
Yes I still believe
I still believe in love

 


HIGHER CALLING


Everyday’s a brand new day
A chance to undo my mistakes
And be the me I know that I can be

Count my blessings one by one
Grateful for what God has done
Spending more time down upon my knees

And I know I am not alone
To feel like I was made for more, c’mon now

It’s up to you and I to choose
To reach for a higher calling
A higher calling
Oh won’t you spread the news
We were meant for a higher calling
A higher calling

I’ve made my share of mistakes
Bound by chains I could not break
And there’s no one to blame it on but me

But love reigned down when it rained on me
To lift me up on my two feet
Now I live to give my life in return

And I know I am not alone
To feel like I can do so much more, so much more

It’s up to you and I to choose
To reach for a higher calling
A higher calling
Oh won’t you spread the news
We were meant for a higher calling
A higher calling

And we all know which road to go
We all reap that which we sow
Plant the seeds of love into our hearts and watch them grow

It’s up to you and I to choose
To reach for a higher calling
A higher calling
Oh won’t you spread the news
We were meant for a higher calling
A higher calling

 


COME UNDONE


Somewhere between hello and goodbye
Stuck in the middle of nowhere
Wanting to live but waiting to die
Holding on and on and on

No one to blame and no one to accuse
Nothing we could’ve done better
How can you win when there’s so much to lose
I know, I know, Yes I know

I should’ve seen it in your face
I should’ve felt it in your touch
I should’ve heard it in the words
That you didn’t say much
But of all the clues I missed
I should’ve felt it in your kisses, lately baby
We were one, Now that’s all
Come Undone

We’re getting further away from the shore
Feeling the distance between us
I don’t know if I should try anymore
Or just go, or just go, let it go, let it go

I should’ve seen it in your face
I should’ve felt it in your touch
I should’ve heard it in the words
That you didn’t say much
But of all the clues I missed
I should’ve felt it in your kisses, lately baby
We were one, Now that’s all
Come Undone

Sometimes the writing is there on the wall
But you just can’t make out all the words
Sometimes the truth’s right in front of you
But it’s screaming too loud to be heard

I should’ve seen it in your face
I should’ve felt it in your touch
I should’ve heard it in the words
That you didn’t say much
But of all the clues I missed
I should’ve felt it in your kisses, lately baby
We were one, Now that’s all
Come Undone

 


PRAY FOR YOU


On his way to make a stand
A little boy becomes a man
Another soldier calling home
Just to hear a mother’s voice

In a world made out of sand
He holds the phone tight in his hand
And waits to hear the only words
That can cut right through the noise

I’m gonna pray for you
I ‘m gonna pray for you
Until you’re in my arms
I’m gonna pray for you
I’m gonna wait for you
Until you’re safe from harm
I’m gonna pray for you

In an alley dark and cold
There’s a young girl no one holds
And it’s been a long long time
Since she’s felt anything

There's a father on his knees
Saying someone help her please
Find my little girl who's lost
As he hears the church bell ring

I’m gonna pray for you
I ‘m gonna pray for you
Until you’re in my arms
I’m gonna pray for you
I’m gonna wait for you
Until you’re safe from harm
I’m gonna pray for you

In an alley dark and cold
There’s a Savior no one holds
And it’s been a long long time…

I’m gonna pray for you
I’m gonna pray for you
Until you’re in my Father’s arms
I’m gonna pray for you
I’m gonna wait for you
Yes I will wait
Until you’re safe
Until your faith can lead you home
I'm gonna pray

 


BACK FROM THE DEAD


Close to the edge that’s where I’d stand
Dancing with fire with a match in each hand
Had a mind filled with fear and a heart full of rage
One step from insanity and one step from the grave

But I’m back from the dead
I’m starting all over now
With something to believe in
And something to live for

Gave up the ghost a long time ago
But my heart’s still beating how I don’t know
Fell down on my knees and covered my face
I begged for mercy but instead I got grace

And now I’m back from the dead
And I’m starting all over now
There’s something to believe in
And something to live for
I’m back from the dead
And I feel so much better now
Life is worth living again
Now that there’s something to live for
There’s something to live for

I found something to live for, something to die for
Something to hold on to
Someone who loves me but even more importantly
I finally learned to love myself

I was so lost nowhere to be found
If not for heaven where would I be now?

But I’m back from the dead
Back from that living hell
I know where I’m going now
That there’s something to live for

I’m back from the dead
I’m starting all over now
Life is worth living again
Cause there’s something to live for
There’s something to live for
