It's Time
03:44
|

It's time to break down the walls
That let some in and keep others out
It's time to see one human race
And love our neighbor
It's time to reach those who need us
To give a helping hand
It's time to practice what we preach
To live the life he calls
I stand at the door and I knock
Are you ready can I come in
For whoever receives one in my name
Receives me
I am the way, the only way
You can move mountains in my name
I stand at the door and I knock
Are you ready, are you ready
It's time
It's time to take care of this world
This precious gift
It's time to stop
Fighting among ourselves
It's time to love the little ones
To give them back what he gave to us
It's time, wake up and see the signs
Turn this world around
I stand at the door and I knock
Are you ready can I come in
For whoever receives one in my name
Receives me
I am the way, the only way
You can move mountains in my name
I stand at the door and I knock
Are you ready, are you ready
It's time
I stand at the door and I knock
Are you ready can I come in
For whoever receives one in my name
Receives me
I am the way, the only way
You can move mountains in my name
I stand at the door and I knock
Are you ready, are you ready
It's time

Emperor's Clothes
05:23
|
|||
|
somewhere between dream and sleep
in that place where darkness and light meet
they sing a song to wake hope and peace
come into my restless world
somewhere in the storms of the past
a voice calls out for the souls who have been cast
out of hell out of evil’s grasp
do not fear in this crazy world
and i call out to you cause i wanna be with you
three months and still those words ring true
i will not back down it’s time to go
and rid myself of the emperor’s clothes
to see myself for who I am
a child of god and a humbled man
so many years to wear this face
all-american boy
read their minds but have no place to be yourself
it’s just their dreams that you chase
and live in your self-less world
the journey’s all about how you feel
hold a mirror so the prodigal’s heart is revealed
says the voice what you see is real
so come out of your image world
and i see the one inside
cause i fight my sense of pride
that pushes me to run and hide
i will not back down...
somewhere in the life that I lead
dark and light and hope and peace will meet
among the weeds and among the wheat
to live in this blessed world
and i’ll see this journey through
cause i’ll make it back to you
to finally see what love can do
i will not back down...

Prayer
05:25
|
|||
|
if you needed me to take away your hurt and pain
if you called on me to steady winds in times of change
i'd run to you and hold you by the hand
and if you still needed more
i'd stay for awhile and i'd sing you this prayer
and if i needed you to release the demons inside
to help me keep my past
in the days that have already gone by
you'd come to me lead me to a quiet place
smile a smile of love
hold me in your arms and sing me this prayer
tonight i face the moon
the stars and sea the earth and sky
tonight i face the world
and i swear i will not pass it by
and so here i stand
and i absorb creation all around
and though i stand alone i am here with you
and we sing this prayer
give me strength peace of mind
help me find that love will come around
love will always come around

The Angel Inside
05:00
|
|||
|
Seven days
When I listened to what you said
You shared with me
The gifts of your cup and your bread
You touched me
With your action of undying grace
And I asked you to hold me
In an eternal embrace
Sweet song of love and praise
And I had found happiness
To last me for all my days
You were the light that filled me inside
You were the ship
That led me away from the tide
You told me to look for the angel inside
Sailing winds
On the waters that run to the shore
Starry skies
Where I found peace of mind once more
You helped me to heal
The scars that had formed on my heart
And showed me just how
To laugh and rejoice from the start
You held out your hand
I swear I never thought
I could find this love again
Could you be the light in which he abides
Could you carry me on
Help me break down the walls of pride
Could you help me search for the angel inside
Oh, what more can I do
It's crazy how I look
And I find this love in you
You are the light I don't wanna hide
You shine in my heart
And help me break from the tide
Through all the times
When I thought I could not recognize
It was you
You helped me find
The angel inside

Will Not Go Away
04:38
|

|
Will not go away
The river of life runs
Inside your heart
Throughout every day
I still love you
Will not go away
The river of life runs
Inside your heart
Throughout every day
I still love you
Winter brings cold to North Carolina
Young mother, young father
Inside by the fire
Rejoice in their baby
In her arms he cradles
Love like a circle goes round
We hear him say
Will not go away
The river of life runs
Inside your heart
Throughout every day
I still love you
Young woman is crying
Cause her love has left her
The life they were leading
It ceased with no giving
She feels love has left her
Won't be there to save her
And love like a circle goes round
We hear him say
Will not go away
The river of life runs
Inside your heart
Throughout every day
I still love you
I sit on the pier and gaze over the water
The sun shines so brightly
The glow it reminds me
Every day is a blessing
Each moment remembering
That love like a circle goes round
Love like a circle goes round
We hear him say
Will not go away
The river of life runs
Inside your heart
Throughout every day
I still love you

Fallen For You
05:42
|
|||
|
If I could see beyond the walls
That limit my vision
And keep me guessing
Of the ways you touch my soul
I'd gaze for a moment on your face
And if I could stand on this mountaintop
And look over creation
To find a reason
For the life that's brought me here
Maybe your presence would fill up this place
And I'd shout from the mountain
So all of the world
Could hear down below me
I've fallen for you
Hopelessly, helplessly
Head over heels
I've fallen
Fallen for you
And if I could comfort this restless moving
That's built up inside me
All my makings fall flat to the ground
And I long for new bread and wine
Still you love me
And you hold me close to you
And you whisper in your still small voice
That everything's gonna be fine
And I'd shout from the valley
So all of the world
Could hear up above me
I've fallen for you
Delight me, excite me
You really surprise me
And I've fallen, fallen, fallen
For all the empty lies
I used to feed myself
For all the tears I've cried before
Now you have come here
To love me and guide me
Be there to heal the heart
Broken inside me
Carry your cross there
Your arms open wide for me
And I'd shout with the angels
So this broken world
Could hear all around me
I've fallen for you
In a world that rejects me
You hold and embrace me
The wonder of grace
I've fallen for you
Hopelessly, helplessly
Head over heels
You lift me up high
And I've fallen for you

Jade's Lullaby
05:28
|
|||
|
The time has come, my child
The evening is at play
The sun has left us now
To prepare for another day
As I lay me down to sleep
I pray to the Lord
That he will always watch over me
Count your blessings
And close your tired eyes
I’ll sing to you
Sweet little angel
Won’t you sleep, little angel
Sweet little angel
Sleep tonight
And when you rest in slumber
I pray you’ll dream awhile
Of unicorns and sunsets
Of God’s great creation
Things that make you smile
Joy and laughter in a song
All the happiness in life
Eternal peace that can’t go wrong
And when your journey’s through
Come home to my arms
Sweet little angel
Won’t you sleep, little angel
Sweet little angel
Sleep tonight
And when you wake in the morning
You’ll never be alone
For the love that surrounds you here
Is the love that we call home
God guide you through your day
And bring you back again
Sweet little angel
Won’t you sleep, little angel
Sweet little angel
Sleep tonight

The Invisible Man
06:00
|
|||
|
I am a nameless man
Invisible to your eyes
You do not notice me
You look my way
While blind to who's inside
I guard the life I live
From your precious china world
I’m too scared to let you in
To bear my soul
Then have you crush my world
I’m the invisible man
Catch me if you can
My life is not like yours
I’m damned for my great crime
But my heart burns deep within
And beats in tune
With all of humankind
Once clothed in living water
And embraced in community
Now you spit me out your mouth
Amazing how
Selective your doctrines can be
I’m the invisible man
Run to me if you can
Where in the world
Do I fit in your master plan
Tell me where is the resting place
For the invisible man
I am the crucified
The sacrifice for my time
Hung on this cross of love
Arms spread out
While all will curse my life
You deny I stand among you
You obliterate my soul
I am trapped by who I am
Helpless as the nail drives into wood
I’m the invisible man
Harder to see
The more you misunderstand
How long will you push me away
With God’s own hand
Tell me when will you open your eyes
To the invisible man

Carry Me
04:02
|
|||
|
sometimes when the road gets rough
and darkness is all around
i look to see your footprints in the sand
but only mine can be found
and so I wonder why in times of need
i feel like I'm all alone
and it's then you remind me that
your love will carry me home
carry me across the shifting sands
carry me to more solid land
carry me along the winding road
and put me on my feet again
carry me and never let me fall
carry me keep me standing tall
carry me and help me find the strength
to stand up on my feet again
on my feet again
and so when you feel like
there's no one by your side
just turn your eyes to the one above you
let him be your guide
carry me...
