Hourglass

Verse 1:
I hear a ticking, it keeps on ticking
Though it's only inside my head
The light is flicking, and hell is kicking
A believer before its dead

Chorus:
And I'm looking to the hourglass
That's running out of sand
I'm looking through the hourglass
Into another land

Verse 2:
I hear a crying of people dying
And it's taking me to the street
Intensifying a self-denying
That bringing will starve defeat

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
Time is sifting away so fast
Loving...I've got to love what lasts
'Cause where you hide your treasure
You hide your heart
If you hide it in this world
You know it's gonna fall apart

Repeat Chorus

Gina

Verse 1:
Gina, broken soul
Hollywood took its toll
Gina, I wanted to
Let you know God cared for you, but...

Chorus:
I never found the time
Never made my mind up to tell you
And now it's way too late
I never should have waited
Oh, Gina

Verse 2:
Gina, they found you dead
You burned to death, the paper said
Gina, the day before you died
You were on my mind, and I don't know why

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
I wish I could bring you back but I can't
I'd give my life for a second chance
'Cause I wanna find the time
Wanna make my mind up to tell them
But for you it's way too late
I never should have waited
Oh, Gina


Put Your Heart In Me

Verse 1:
I wanna know your feelings
Wanna know what makes you cry
Wanna know how I can love you more

But I don't want hurt you
Don't wanna make you angry at me
'Cause your the one that I am living for

Chorus:
So burn your heart in me
In the deepest part of me
Put your heart in me
In the deepest part of me

Verse 2:
I wanna love the lonely
Wanna heal the broken hearted
Wanna make your righteousness my friend

I wanna feed the hungry
And I wanna fight for justice
And Lord, I wanna serve you until the end

Repeat Chorus
Guitar solo

I'm Finding

Verse 1:
I'm finding that I'm falling
In love with you every day
And I'm finding that I'm finally
Starting to see things your way

It's taken me a long time
To trust you with my heart
But I knew once I did that I'd start
Finding that I'm falling
I'm falling in love with you

Verse 2:
I'm finding that I'm living
Instead of just getting by
And you've given me a purpose
I'm not just waiting to die

It's taken me a long time
To realize you care for me, Lord
Oh, thank you for waiting patiently
And I'm finding that I'm falling
I'm falling in love with you

Bridge:
I can see now who you really are
You're my Lord and
You're the brightest morning star

Ending:
It's taken me a long time
To realize you care for me, Lord
Well, thank you for waiting patiently
And I'm finding that I'm falling
I'm falling in love with you
In love with you
In love with you

Beyond Saturday Night

Verse 1:
What do you see when they finally turn out the light
What do you hear when the music is stopped for the night
Is there an answer
Or just a dancer leaving an empty stage

Chorus:
Did it take you, did it get you beyond Saturday night
Did it take you, did it get you beyond Saturday night

Verse 2:
What can you try when you think that you've tried it all
And where do you lean when you think you're about to fall
Oh, will it sustain you
Or will it chain you to a revolving wheel

Chorus:
Can it take you, can it get you beyond Saturday night
Can it take you, can it get you beyond Saturday night

Verse 3:
Can you believe that the longing you felt inside
Could find its rest in a man who was crucified
Oh, He won't deceive you
And He'll never leave you even when life is through

Chorus:
He can take you, He can get you beyond Saturday night
Oh, He can take you, He can get you beyond Saturday night
Oh, let Him take you, let Him get you beyond Saturday night
Oh, let Him take you, let Him get you beyond Saturday night

Bring Me Through

Verse 1:
I've been in the basement
Groping for a light
But it just goes to show me
I walk by faith and not by sight

But now I feel the walls are closing in
The dark is blacker than it's ever been, Lord

Chorus:
You've got to bring me through
'Cause there's nothing more I can do
You've got to bring me through
I leaving it up to you
Bring me through, I've done all I can do
You've got to bring me through
I need you...to bring me through
I need you...to bring me through

Verse 2:
Yeah, deep inside I'm bleeding
Will nothing ease the pain
Aching memories beating like
A cold pulsating rain

The more I try to fight the more I fail
Condemnation's got me by the tail, Lord

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
I need your power, Lord, to quicken my soul
To come break the evil that's taken hold

Repeat Chorus

Will They Love Him

Verse 1:
What's in the Father's mind
Why does He have to go
And if I can't go with Him
There's one thing I must know

Chorus:
Will they love Him,
Will they love Him like I do?
Will they serve Him,
Take care of Him like I do?

I'm afraid to watch Him go
Afraid their hearts aren't true
Oh, will they love Him,
Love Him like I do?

Verse 2:
What can you say when all is lost
When the light of day has gone away?
Well, that's how it feels to watch him go
Down to earth, to a humble birth
And as he goes away, I hear my heart say

Repeat Chorus

Verse 3:
How can we sing when he is gone
We've lost everything when we've lost our king
And why does he go just like a man
Small and weak, humble and meek
And as he goes away, I hear my heart say

Repeat Chorus

He's Gonna Hear Your Cryin'

Verse 1:
You hate your life, you've watched it fall apart
Suicidal as you kill your broken heart
But Jesus hurt and bled like you inside
So save your life 'cause he's already died

Whoa, when you think no one can feel your heart break
You think no one can see your soul shake, oh but...

Chorus:
He's gonna hear you crying
He's gonna hear you crying
He's gonna hear you crying

Yeah, He's gonna hear you crying
He's gonna hear you crying
He's gonna hear you crying

Verse 2:
Take the blade and let the water run
Find the vein and then you're almost done
But you don't really wanna bleed your life away
You're scared to die but just to proud to say

Whoa, when you think no one can feel your heart break
You think no one can see your soul shake, oh but...

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:
Oh, He can feel your heart break
Ooo, He can feel your soul shake
Oh, yeah, yeah!

Repeat Chorus

Give Back to You

Verse 1:
Always caring for me, always giving
'Til I can't take any more
And you gave me this new life I'm living
The one you thought was worth dying for

I'm wanting you to know I'm grateful to ya
For all the love you've shown
And praises aren't enough to tell
How my love for you has grown

Chorus:
Let me give back to you
Something that is hard to give
Like the desires in my heart
And the way I want to live

Let me give back to you
Something that will cost it all
From the big dreams in my life
Down to the very small

Verse 2:
Never leaving me, Lord, when you could have
After so many failures and doubts
Though you loved me much more than you should have
Even when my faith was worn out

I don't wanna be ungrateful to ya
For all the love you've shown
And that is why I want to serve you, Lord
With all I own

Repeat Chorus
