Music: Greg Volz |
03 If A Child
Words and music: Greg Volz If a child lives with criticism He learns to condemn If a child lives with shame He learns to feel guilty If a child lives with forgiveness He learns to have patience If a child lives with fairness He learns justice If a child lives with security He learns to have faith There's a love He will give you You can't conceive it, just believe it But you must become as a child To receive it Open up - He will come into your heart Then you will see it If a child lives with Jesus He learns to give love to the world |
04 Babylon
Additional words: Charles Almon and Vern Gibson By the waters of Babylon There we sat down and wept When we remembered, O Zion We hanged our harps upon the willows In the midst thereof And they that carried us away Required of us a song And they that wasted us Required of us mirth Saying Sing us a song of Zion, sing us a song of Zion Sing us a song of Zion, sing us a song of Zion Sing us a song of Zion, sing us a song of Zion Oh, if I forget, O Jerusalem O tell me now If I forget, O Jerusalem Oh, if I forget, O Jerusalem Let my right hand forget her cunning If I forget, oh, if I forget Oh, if I forget, oh, if I forget Oh, if I forget, oh, if I forget Oh, if I forget, oh, if I forget |
05 Empty Hollow Choruses
Words and music: Mike Johnson Hear the echoes in the stately halls Whirring of computers behind sterile walls Diplomatic circles spinning 'round Empty hollow choruses they all call profound "The answer's within you Everything will be all right We could get together If we could just forget to fight" You know somehow it's just not true It could work for others but not for you Then you think that we're alone Man really has no home The earth is just an island in the sea And we dream of what we could never be A peaceful self-governing society There's a part missing from all mankind We're a broken people that cannot find The answer's not in us If it was it's gone away We're a wayward people Blind we've lost our way So we dream of new governments And rely on our accomplishments Empty hollow choruses without honesty We're a dying people, why can't we see Then we feel we do not die To discover the beyond we do not try We imagine a god of our own Empty hollow choruses in the church yard rings Hardly the expectant waiting for their King New life within them has somehow died Somewhere beyond a different voice cries I'm waiting for you My truth is still the same I'll give a true direction If you just call my name I said if you just call my name |
06 The Search
Words and music: Terry Andersen I'm looking for this crazy place To run and hide from this crazy world And if you've found this place to hide And tell me with your words so pure You will take it away in the same sweet breath Cause you're a person just like me But we keep trying, yes, we keep trying I'm feeling lost and quite alone But strange enough, I keep stepping on I don't know where, I'm not sure I care But I'm wondering all the same old things But I'm somehow feeling warm inside Thinking I know nothing But we keep trying, while I keep crying While driving East from West I've seen In graceful nature a color scheme The blackened skies in front of me They're melted gently back to the sea Into crimson, gold, soft ribbons blue Whispering, "I am one with you" But we keep trying, while life is flying Our moods will change From day to night Just sing this tune You'll see I'm right Prophets told of Judgment Day And Jesus says He is the way To take us from this crazy world And give us peace I do believe, I do believe I do believe, I do believe I see the light going by And I hear music in my ear And I hear shouting in the air And I feel the Spirit everywhere I can see where I am by the lights going by And the people are crying hallelujah He is riding down the road To the town in glory Hear the hypocrites Juggling all their stories Some are calling Him the King I see what they are saying In the light and the laughter of love we praise Him All the town is aglow With the news of His coming On this day we are praying The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want He makes me to lie down in green pastures He leads me besides still waters He restores my soul He restores my soul |
07 Journey To Calvary
Words and music: Joe Grier and David Eden For years we've searched to find the Son We've heard he's here, is our search done Although we've traveled many roads We have not found our King You say this man upon that cross Might be the One we seek We heard him cry, "Eli, Eli, My God, why do You forsake me?" He cried again in agony He died before our eyes But now the ground it seems to shake And darkness fills the sky The crowd has fled, the veil is torn And now all nature seems to mourn The earthquake and these things we've seen Have filled our hearts with grief Could this man you've crucified Be God's Son indeed? The crowd has fled, the veil is torn And now all nature seems to mourn Oh, my sweet Lord! He cried again in agony He died before our eyes, yes But now the ground it seems to shake And darkness fills the sky We heard Him cry, "Eli, Eli, My God, why do You forsake me?" |
08 Where Do We Go From Here
Words and music: Charles Almon Here we are Joined together once again Trying to seek an answer From our beginning and to our end We've traveled far and wide By our Lord and Savior's side Must we now confuse our minds By regressing in time How can we start anew Oh, how can we follow through When the one who has taught me and you Is gone, gone, gone, is gone But why, why, oh why Must our conscience leave us in doubt Of the lives that we lived Until the present day But why, why, oh why Are His words so far away All the dreams and memories Seem to fade away Lo and behold, our Jesus has died So where do we go from here He gave us words that promised us life And where to we go from here Oh, lo and behold, our Jesus has died So where do we go from here He gave us words that promised us life And where do we go from here Where do we go from here Oh and where do we go Where do we go Where do we go from here Oh and where do we go Where do we go And where do we go from here And where do we go from here The spinning wheel of time Keeps turning all the while Life's cycle running 'round the sun Till the thread is spun Our lives are so discouraged Cause our Jesus has died What good are his words of wisdom When there's nothing left inside But why, why, oh why Must our conscience leave us in doubt Of the lives that we lived until the present day Memories seem to fade Like the closing of another day The Search - Reprise The Lord is my shepherd I shall not want He makes me to lie down in green pastures He leads me beside still waters He restores my soul He restores my soul |
09 He Is In Me
Words and music: Terry Andersen You ask but do not listen You seek but never hear When people tell you daily That the Lord is very near He's opening his Father's world To those who realize But even now He stands and knocks He's looking in your eyes All the old things pass away And behold He makes all things new He's the Savior, the Creator He's the master of my life I am not He but He is in me I am not He but He is in me Jesus, thank you for my life Jesus, thank you for my life Jesus, thank you for my life Thank you for my life Thank you for my life Thank you for my life I am not He but He is in me I am not He but He is in me Jesus, thank you for my life Jesus, thank you for my life |
10 Because I Am
Words and music: Ron Thomas Because I Am the world began The dust I breathed on became man I forged the mountains and filled the sea I watched you run away from me I come to you with life in hand You're what you are Because I Am Because I Am I come to you To wash you clean and make you new I died your death on the cross you made I took your place - the price is paid I come to you with my life in hand You're what you are Because I Am Because I Am death is undone I rose in glory - God's only Son You are forgiven if you'll only believe I'll live within you - just call on me I come to you with life in hand You're what you are Because I Am Because I Am rivers flow to the sea A thousand oceans respond to me And cleansing rains restore the land All is reborn Because I Am I come to you with life in hand You're what you are Because I Am I come to you with life in hand You're what you are Because I Am |
