Rising
Somebody Told Me
I Would Have Listened
There's a ring around the moon tonight
And chilling wind
But I don't have to be afraid
Cause we're old friends
There's a heartbeat of our Mother Earth
And it's so deep within
Oh, and I'm never short of company
Cause we're old friends
Chorus:
So let it snow 'til it's ten feet deep
Let the mist roll in
'Til I am too blind to see
Let the waters rise
Encircling me
Old Friends -- we'll always be
And Heaven is a perfect place
At the journey's end
Oh and I'm looking forward to that day
Cause we're old friends
(Chorus)
Old friends ... you and me
Old friends ... we will be
Old friends ... you and me
Old friends ... we will be
Old friends ... you and me
Old friends ... we will be

Boat of Devotion
Mountains high on a crimson tide Reflecting down on the water side All alone, my Lord and I In my boat of devotion All these hills have a tale to tell Of the restless heart we all know so well Join with me for I'm setting sail In my boat of devotion Boat of devotion find me my peace >From the waves of emotion unsettling me Row me away and set my soul free in my boat of devotion In my boat of devotion Wash me with your righteousness Like a mountain spring in the wilderness There I'll drown in your tenderness In my boat of devotion Boat of devotion find me my peace From the waves of emotion unsettling me Row me away and set my soul free in my boat of devotion In my boat of devotion Pure is the sun, refreshing the rain When I feel the hand of forgiveness Great is the hope this sinner has gained Now Heaven is one breath away Heaven't just one breath away Row me away and set my soul free in my boat of devotion In my boat of devotion In my boat of devotion In my boat of devotion written by Chris Eaton & Marty Magahee 1996 Longitude Music Company on behalf of Clouseau/Word Music (ASCAP)
That's What Faith is For
Lay me down by the sea of wisdom Lay me down Lay me down Where your grace is so freely given Lay me down to rest Tie my hands with a blood red ribbon Close my eyes Close my eyes Let me walk where my soul is driven Through the wilderness Give me faith Help me believe there's a way through the storm Faith, to fall in the arms of the one I adore That's what faith is for Through the years I've been taught these lessons Don't hold back Don't hold back Live your life with a boundless passion And your love will grow Give me faith Help me believe there's a way through the storm Faith, love lies in waiting beyond the door That's what faith is for Give me faith Give me hope Give me joy Celebrate, am I really set free? Can I see the land you've given me Give me faith Help me believe there's a way through the storm Faith, to fall in the arms of the one I adore Give me faith I need faith written by Chris Eaton
Shooting Stars
Run with the wild horses Coming down the mountain side Ride the wings of eagles High up in the evening sky See through the eyes of children Waking up on Christmas day Heaven is a place not so far away This is free Unlock your heart Shooting stars Ride the leaves of autumn Falling down like golden rain Taste the snow of winter Just before it melts away Feel the warmth of summer Close your eyes and drift away Come and live the dream Is it so hard to believe? You can be Where you are Shooting stars are all and they all come rushing down Like the passion in your life, never let is pass you by So let go Unlock your heart Shooting stars, they fill the sky Just for a moment, then they die If you see one you will know love is still alive Shooting stars are shining bright Then all at once they're out of sight So if you're looking out tonight, remember, love is still alive written by Chris Eaton
God So Loved the World
God so loved the world That He gave his one and only son That whosoever believes in Him Should not perish but have everlasting life I try so hard to find the words so say To let you know how great is this God to whom I pray For nothing can or ever will compare To the peace that flows in your soul when He is living there Oh I know you've been through so much It's hard to contemplate letting go and reaching out in trust But I know the simple truth That love is here for you So take Him at His word and see what He can do God so loved the world That He gave his one and only son That whosoever believes in Him Should not perish but have everlasting life The promise is yours and mine Today is the very first day Of the rest of your life Well I know you've been through so much It's hard to contemplate letting go and reaching out in trust But it's time to take a step of faith Be prepared for Jesus' love to blow you away God so loved the world That He gave his one and only son That whosoever believes in Him Should not perish but have everlasting life
Ordinary People
It takes ordinary people... Some days you're up with the angels Some days you're down with the devil Some say you'll never be anyone I say you're beautiful It's all of the little things that you do for me You've got the sun You've got to let it shine It takes ordinary people Just like you and me To put a smile on the face of an extraordinary world So let's build a new tomorrow, living for today And let love, love, love pave the way You don't paint but I see a picture You don't write but I'm reading a classic You don't sing but I hear a melody And I just can't get it out of my head It's all of the little things that you do for me You've got the sun You've got to let it shine It takes ordinary people Just like you and me To put a smile on the face of an extraordinary world So let's build a new tomorrow, living for today And let love, love, love pave the way Every day is full of opportunity Just got to appreciate those who are silent They've got so much to say It takes ordinary people Just like you and me To put a smile on the face of an extraordinary world So let's pick up all the pieces, living for today And let love, love, love pave the way And let love, love, love pave the way written by Chris Eaton
Cold is the night
And I am losing my will to fight
But I guess it doesn't give me the right
To ask for your love
Slow burns the fire
Still I have a warm, true desire
For you to pull me out of the mire
To a paradise of love
Chorus:
So won't you
Take my heart away
To a distant shore
Where crying is no more
Take my lonely days
Cause I'll never be alone
When I'm with you
Warm is the sun
When the world and I are at one
And I believe that hope has begun
With every tear you dry
Time disappears
Lost in an ocean of tears
There is no prejudice here
Deep down inside
Out of the blue
Though I can't believe it's true
I am separated from you
And we have to start again
La da de da Never be lonely La da de da Never be lonely
La da de da Never be lonely La da de da Never be lonely
La da de da Never be lonely La da de da Never be lonely La da de da

The sun is rising the day's begun
And with the morning choices come
To live or die
To give or take
To have a vision or lose my faith
To bless my brother and children too
To be this honest and to hide the truth
To search for justice
Or find a way out
To shout or be silent, To trust or to doubt
Chorus:
So for my family and for my friends
And those whose world I spend the briefest moments in
And for myself and for my Saviour
We deserve the Highest Honour
The moon has risen to close the day
And I remember choices made
Was I humble
Or was I proud?
Were my hands open or were they bound?
Was there compassion inside of me?
Or just ambition for selfish need
When I was faced
With compromise
Did I stand my ground or fall through the ice
And so tomorrow and then forever
Let love pass from me
Like a peaceful river
And for myself
And for my Saviour
We all deserve the Highest Honour
