01 Walk Toward The Light
Words and music: Joe Grier and Dave Eden Sometimes all I see is darkness My tears flow like rivers in the night I ache inside for peace, can't seem to find it Oh, if I had someone to help me in the fight Then He comes to me and puts His arm around me And we talk of all the hard times in my life Then He turns and takes my hand and leads me onward And together we walk toward the light He says, give to Me your lonely night of sorrow And I'll give to you My morning light of joy I'll carry all your burdens and I'll help you through this night I've come into your darkness, won't you come into My light Jesus came to save the lost sinner Salvation comes in the name of the Lord It's not in works that you may do Whether they might be big or small It's in Jesus Christ crucified He paid it all Then He comes to me and puts His arm around me And we talk of all the hard times in my life Then He turns and takes my hand and leads me onward And together we walk in the light |
02 No Room In The Middle
Words and music: Dave Eden and Greg Duntemann There's no room in the middle There's no room on the fence There's no room in the middle It doesn't make sense To be torn in two pieces Between darkness and light To be talking about Jesus But walking in the night There's no room in the middle Now no man can serve two masters No man could love them both He will split down the middle From such a heavy load When your love isn't hot And your love isn't cold Then you're caught in the middle Where no love can grow Now God in His mercy Helped me make up my heart He said, "Give Me all or nothing But you can't stay where you are Take up the cross, My child And I will end your war Let Me be your everything Let Me be your Lord" I was stuck in the middle It was tearing me apart Serving Jesus and the devil Was breaking God's heart I was living in two kingdoms Between two different kings I was hearing two singers Which song should I sing? |
03 Love Moves In A Different Circle
Words and music: Mike Schmitz Know a man who has a wife Years and years they have shared their life They find delight in each other Never seen two people have such different ways She flits and she flatters and she flutters all day And he's so quiet and thoughtful and wise Says more than most with a blink of his eyes United hearts don't have to agree And lately it's becomin' more clear to see that Love moves in a different circle There's more to life than simply what's comin' to you Love moves in a different circle It goes round and round and round and it comes back to you Oh, comes back to you Yeah, comes back to you Read a story 'bout a priest and a king Story said He gave up everything So He could reach the lowest beggar But sometimes you don't wanna believe that it's true Cause it really implies we should be doin' it too Afraid our life would be in a shambles Oh, don't wanna rock the boat and gamble (They say) What kind of God could be tortured and die It just doesn't make sense until you realize that Love moves in a different circle Wayward hearts and their passions Won't make a love that's true Love moves in a different circle It goes round and round and round and it comes back to you What greater love could you show in the end Than to give your life (give your life) For your brother and your friend It comes back to you Love always comes back to you |
04 The Carpenter
Words and music: Mike Schmitz The Lord showed me David, called from the field From leading his sheep, a sword to wield To lift up a people whose burden was hard And to walk in the way of God But I am a carpenter I am a workman in this town I am a man who lives here But My time is coming around A vision I've seen, a lesson I've learned A path is before Me, a season has turned And this have I known from the opening of My eyes A seed has to die to be life Father, how long, Father My mother I'll leave, My shop I shall board The strands of My soul, weave tightly in a cord And Father, I pray, that not one shall be lost Yes, for them, in joy, I'll pay the cost No longer a carpenter No longer a workman in this town No longer a man living here And My home is not on this ground |
05 I'm Yours
Words and music: Mike Schmitz Like clouds on the mountains You hover over me And spread Your great wings Like the wind on the sea Because You desire me My spirit is free And all I can say is, "I'm Yours" You speak to me softly From deep and inside Your words lift and keep me Where I can reside You show me Your wisdom Whenever I'm tried And all I can say is, "I'm Yours" Hold me, take me far, far away From all that's not part Of Your excellent way We're living Like an act in a play We spend so much time On irrelevant things Forgetting Your counsels Are better than kings Your love is like sunshine Your presence like gold Your word like a pearl That could never be sold The warmth of Your arms Will never grow cold And all I can say is, "I'm Yours" Sometimes in the darkness Sometimes in the night I lay here before You Too weary to fight Then all my great fears Fall apart in Your light The dragons You slay And the roadways you lay And all I can say is, "I'm Yours" |

07 Feelings
Words and music: Dave Eden and Joe Grier Chorus: Martin Luther (1483-1546) Feelings come and feelings go But feelings are deceiving I'll place my faith in the Word of the Lord Nothing else is worth believing Been on this roller coaster too many days Riding in a circus of emotion I get up on the high wire Then down in the lion's cage My feelings have been ruling my devotion I feel like a strong man, I feel like a clown I let my feelings push me up and down Who can help me off this merry-go-round And tell me what is real? Can I trust what I feel? Peanuts and popcorn and I'm feeling okay I get excited when the dancing bear dances But can I serve Him when the band doesn't play Will I trust Him through these changing circumstances If it feels good, they say, "It can't be wrong" But love is more than a calliope song How can I get back to where I belong And get off this ferris wheel I've got to live what is real |
08 Frontline
Words and music: Kirk Henderson I've crossed the line of danger No place of refuge to be found Invading paths of darkness I stumble to the battle ground And I feel the adversary Closing in on every side But knowing who I am Will put me over I'm gonna go to the frontline I'm ready for the fight My armor is on And my sword is shining bright On the frontline The battle's just begun Everybody knows That the victory is won on the frontline Though I walk through the valley I will never be afraid I stand on words of truth And every promise He has made For the weapons of my warfare Are mighty through the Lord To the pulling down of strongholds I will conquer Though I walk through the valley I will never be afraid I stand on words of truth And every promise He has made When I feel the adversary Closing in on every side |
09 Gethsemane
Words and music: Joe Grier Indecision - for My brother Tears like blood for him at night Brother, wake up, give Me comfort Father above, why this fight I see the tempter lending them sleep Oh God, how can your Spirit be so strong In such weak and helpless sheep Oh Lord, what's wrong But Father, as Thou wilt, Thy will be done Make Me strong, make Me strong Betray Me, make Me holy My time is now at hand If I tell you, you will not believe To where I go, you cannot conceive Now the Son, the Son of man Shall be seated at the Lord's right hand This work on this earth is done The work that You gave Me to do Glorify Me in Your own presence Make Me strong, make Me new Make Me strong, make Me new Father in heaven, I praise You |
10 Waitin' On Someday
Words and music: Mike Schmitz and Greg X. Volz All of the hard times that you have Are but your chance to understand That you were made, not yet formed As is planned When you were first led to believe They told you the fullness was received But what are these strangers in your land Sometimes you must wonder, "Can a man's heart really change?" Don't just stand there gazing at the East Just walk that way Haven't you heard that it was done so long ago But you're still waitin' on someday The Son of Man that is inside you Has so much to show But you're still sitting on the runway There is a multitude that needs your love There is no better way to rise above The chains that bind you in an iron glove And this can be your someday There may be more hard times that you'll have There is assurance in God's plan This work that has begun in you, He began So let us bind up our feeble knees Rest in the love that brings us peace We know His kingdom is at hand Haven't you heard that it was done so long ago But you're still waitin' on someday The Son of Man that is inside you Has so much to show But you're still sitting on the runway There is a multitude that needs your love There is no better way to rise above So let the Spirit fill you with His love This can be your someday Go after what you see before your heart And don't look behind Where will you be if you just wait to fly away? |
