Lyrics
What We Know
In a world of confusion
Like a maze with no end
Too many choices for choosing
Lead to paths that are broken
There’s a shadow that’s falling overhead,
Fast approaches the night
No matter however dark it gets
We hold to a beacon of light
We Believe that the family is a sacred gift from above
We Proclaim that this unity brings us closer to our God
And We Know what We Know!
In a time of commotion
It’s hard to hear through the noise
Too many pieces in motion
Distracting from God’s voice
There’s a torrent that’s raging down below
Quickly gathering speed
Anxiously wading through murky waters
We’re desperately sharing this message of peace
We Believe that the family is a sacred gift from above
We Proclaim that this unity brings us closer to our God
And We Know what We Know!
Back To You
There’s a flame so divine within us
And it sparked before our birth
Out of the sky trailing clouds of glory
We arrived with a burning desire to prove our worth
Before this life began we all made a choice
(And we were singing like)
Lord, if you need me to be the salt of this unsavory world-
Then I will go and do
Like a pillar in the night sky there’s a fire within our eyes-
Let it shine for all to view
Father, bring us back to you
There’s a work that’s been set into motion
And a hunger that needs to be filled
There’s a light at the end of the tunnel
And a hope that the promises are real
(And we’ll be praying like)
Lord, if you need me to be the salt of this unsavory world-
Then I will go and do
Like a pillar in the night sky there’s a fire within our eyes-
Let it shine for all to view
Father, bring us back to you
If we can hold fast to our faith
And when we fall short, lean on His grace
When we have fought the fight, finished the race
Father, let us see thy holy face
Lord, if you need me to be the salt of this unsavory world-
Then I will go and do
Like a pillar in the night sky there’s a fire within our eyes-
Let it shine for all to view
Father, bring us back to you
Reaching
I may not have power to part the mighty ocean,
I may not have strength to move a mountain grand.
I may stumble and I may fall
But when I Stand-
I reach for you, You lift me high
You, alone, can light a darkened sky.
Oceans may dry, Mountains be broken
But there will be no end to what you’ve spoken.
I may not have power to rescue every brother
Nor the strength to carry all my fellow man,
But if one should stumble along the way
I can help him Stand-
I reach for you then reach for him,
You, alone, can calm the storms within.
Fierce winds may blow, Faith may be broken
But there will be no end to what you’ve spoken.
You reach for me, I feel your smile ,
With arms outstretched to carry your child
I reach for you, You lift me high
You, alone, can light a darkened sky.
Oceans may dry, Mountains be broken
But there will be no end to what you’ve spoken.
The Choice
Maybe it wasn’t part of your plan to raise me up, guide me by the hand
But somewhere there’s someone who can, and is aching for the chance
So don’t give up on me, I am here but I can’t speak-
Be my voice defend my choice to live and love and breathe-
Don’t give up on me
I know the road ahead seems hard I can hear the fear in your heart
You are stronger than you think you are,
Will you use that strength to give me my start?
So don’t give up on me, I am here but I can’t speak-
Be my voice defend my choice to live and love and be-
Don’t give up on me
I’m driving down the freeway
Looking in my rear view mirror
I’m watching you as you sleep
You rest your head on the car seat
Close your eyes and you look so sweet
Not a worry in the world on your face
There’s something about a baby when they’re sleeping
That makes you wonder why you ever get mad
It makes you wonder where we came from and what we’re doing here
And what we’re all supposed to become
There’s something about a baby when they’re sleeping
A mother out there somewhere was brave enough to let you go
But you’ll probably never get to see her face
She made the choice, gave you a voice
I thank God I get to hear it everyday
In those sweet cries as I rock you to sleep, I think
There’s something about a baby when they’re sleeping
That makes you wonder how the world got so bad
It reminds you where we came from And what we’re doing here
And that every soul is precious in His eyes
Makes me wonder how He blessed me with a miracle like you
And what we’re both supposed to become ..
There’s something about a baby when they’re sleeping
Come Alive
There’s a mother and a father waiting
There’s a daughter and son who want to be together.
There’s a calling and a work we’re here for
Everybody wants a family that can be forever.
They’ll hold on if we reach.
Somebody from the other side
Is trying to wake up with open eyes.
They’re calling my name, they’re calling my name.
Someone from the other side
Is trying to break through to see the light.
They’re calling my name, they’re calling my name
To come alive.
God is asking us to find his children
A generation with a chance now to become perfected.
We are the hands that hold the feeble knees up,
We are the salt to go and flavor all the world, that accepts it.
They’ll hold on if we reach.
Somebody from the other side
Is trying to wake up with open eyes.
They’re calling my name, they’re calling my name.
Someone from the other side
Is trying to break through to see the light.
They’re calling my name, they’re calling my name
To come alive.
With the spirit of Elijah, we bind ourselves to them.
A never ending link from the living to the dead.
And every single name has a history to learn.
You can feel it if you try and your heart will start to burn.
Somebody from the other side
Is trying to wake up with open eyes.
They’re calling my name, they’re calling my name.
Someone from the other side
Is trying to break through to see the light.
They’re calling my name, they’re calling my name
To come alive.
Love Will Survive
As a girl I used to dream of
The prince that someday I would love
He was strong, dark, handsome, and tall
My dreams, like me, were small.
As I grew older, something changed-
Real love and fairy tales are not the same
So I let go and that became the start
Of a broken but wiser heart, struggling:
For rich or poor, when lives are torn,
Would I give up the fight?
To have and hold if the fire turns cold
Will love survive?
Now here you are, showing me that there is more-
Things I never thought to look for
Our happy ending doesn’t have to wait
Because we choose it every day
For rich and poor, through every storm-
We won’t give up the fight.
To have and hold, heart and soul-
Love will survive!
Hearts may fail, during trying times
If love grows stale, how many say goodbye
The world spins faster enticing greener pastures
But I know that’s a lie.
As we raise children of our own
We’ll teach them how real love is grown
Through tender words and caring deeds each day
We’ll show them the way-
For rich and poor, through every storm-
We won’t give up the fight.
To have and hold, heart and soul-
Love will survive!
Precious
Here’s a story about a wooden man who couldn’t catch a break
Covered in gray dots filled with shame that he couldn’t shake
People worshiped their golden stars but didn’t realize
This little man fumbling by never looked in their eyes
Oh Oh don’t you know how precious you are?
There’s so much more to you than any golden star, golden star.
Glancing up he made a friend bright as a summer day
She shared how she’d shaken off what people think and say
She said: “It’s so simple once you decide to change
Up the hill, The carpenter, our master He awaits.”
Oh Oh don’t you know how special you are?
There’s so much more to you than any golden star,
He knows who you are.
So, timidly he climbed the hill and tiptoed to His place
There he heard a loving voice say “let me see your face,
My child let me show you how precious you are
I will give you gifts greater than all their stars
ake-free.. You know what they think doesn’t matter at all to me
For I know you are special I created you mistake free
Mistake-free, you can be free”
Bewildered but hopeful he started to leave and headed for the door
He looked back into His maker’s eyes as a gray dot fell to the floor
He Knows You
You’re all alone
And you feel like crying
Cause you can’t break free
And your heart feels like dying inside
Well who am I, you say
And what am I doing here?
He knows where the wind blows
And He knows where the rain falls
He knows where the rainbow ends
And where it starts back up again
So why wouldn’t He know you?
You shout God’s name
And wonder how far did it reach?
Cause you hear it echo back
And wonder does he really even know me?
He numbers the sands of the sea
Then why would he forget about me
He knows where the wind blows
And He knows where the rain falls
He knows where the rainbow ends
And where it starts back up again
So why wouldn’t He know you?
He knows you
He knows you
He knows you
He knows you
Do you know Him?
Shine
I took a picture of my life
For the whole world to see,
I was so desperate for acceptance
That got distorted by the filter of deceit
I wasn’t sure just who I was.
But did my best to look the part.
It was the quest for validation,
That kept me searching, yearning, grasping in the dark,
When through the noise a voice spoke to my heart-
You don’t have to give into the darkness,
You don’t have to listen to the lies
You could be the candle that burns brightest
All you have to do is try
Lets get our eyes up off the screen.
There’s so much that we can do.
We are surrounded by our brothers and sisters,
Who need some help from me and you.
You don’t have to give into the darkness,
You don’t have to listen to the lies
You could be the candle that burns brightest
All you have to do is try
To Shine!
Nothing else is ever more important,
nothing else could ever qualify,
When we share the burden of another,
We can change the world with our light!
You don’t have to give into the darkness,
You don’t have to listen to the lies
You could be the candle that burns brightest
All you have to do is try
To SHINE!
One Light
Light up the smile on the face of a child.
Visit the sick and the lonely,
and let ‘em know that they’re worth while.
Shovel your neighbors’ walk when it snows,
And watch how their love grows and grows.
It only takes one light, it only takes one heart,
To light up the world, make something better.
We can make a difference, if we try.
It only takes one
We pray for peace for the broken hearted.
Help an old family friend get his company started.
Smile at a stranger, and just say hello.
Tell your brother “I forgive you”,
Tell your mother, “I’m thinking of you”
And watch their love grow and grow.
It only takes one light, it only takes one heart,
To light up the world, make something better.
We can make a difference, if we try.
It only takes one
There was one before us who showed us the way,
And His one light, it still shines on, even to this day.
It only takes one light, it only takes one
It only takes one light, it only takes one heart,
To light up the world, make something better.
We can all make a difference, if we try.
It only takes one
