## Lyrics

So here we are in the same old spot

Knowing something needs to happen, but our mouths are locked

Tongue tied, closed tight, sealed shut

I tried hard, but it just wouldn't come up

It's on the tip of my tongue, it's in the front of my mind

Yet the words were still so hard to find

Finally, the reality of things to come pushed me to the edge

I jumped off the cliff into the abyss, as I said

(Chorus)

I'm not trying to be a nuisance

I just think we can do better than this

That was simply my two cents

You can, you can take it or leave it

The conversation lingered on and on and

Before I knew it night had turned to dawn and

Were we searching for the truth and all of it

Or are we debating just to win the argument?

Cause none of us want to hear about where we go wrong

This song could easily be from me to you, or me to John

Cause I have the potential to be the guiltiest

My greatest strength is also my strongest weakness

(Chorus x2)

Let's think about this path that we're taking

Let's think about this future we're creating

Let's think about this life that is fading

Think about it, come on, think about it now

Let's think about this time that we're spending

Investing in monetary things that are ending

Let's think about it and let's think together

And let's think about what we can do to make it better

(Chorus x3)

We can and we will do better than this (x8)
Letters from War

Artist: Mark Schultz

Album: Stories & Songs (2003)

Appears on: WOW Hits 2005 album and DVD and WOW #1s DVD

## Lyrics

She run to the mailbox

On that bright summer's day

Found a letter from her son

In a war far away

He spoke of the weather

And good friends that he'd made

Said I'd been thinking 'bout dad

And the life that he had

That's why I'm here today

Then at the end he said

You are what I'm fighting for

It was the first of his letters from war

She started writing

You're good and you're brave

What a father that you'll be someday

Make it home, make it safe

She wrote every night as she prayed

Late in December

A day she'll not forget

Oh, her tears stained the paper

With every word that she read

It said "I was up on a hill

I was out there alone

When the shots all rang out

And bombs were exploding

And that's when I saw him

He came back for me

Though he was captured

A man set me free

That man was your son

He asked me to write to you

I told him I would, oh, I swore"

It was the last of her letters from war

And she prayed he was living

Kept on believing and

Wrote every night just to say

You are good and you're brave

What a father that you'll be someday

Make it home, make it safe

Still she kept writing each day

Then two years later

Autumn leaves all around

A car pulled in the driveway

And she fell to the ground

And out stepped a captain

Where her boy used to stand

He said, "Mom I'm following orders

From all of your letters

And I've come home again"

He ran in to hold her

And dropped all his bags on the floor

Holding all of her letters from war

Bring it home

Bring it home

Bring it home

## Lyrics

How can I thank You for the way that you freely gave

Love so beautiful unconditionally

Had to stop take a break feelin' good today

Everything's wonderful You didn't have to do this for me

But then I look and see all of the suffering

I wanna do something

But something's gotta start with me

I can't give till I live it

Now that my eyes are open

Teach me how to love

(Chorus)

Love God love people

Love my neighbor as myself

My brother, my sister

Everybody love somebody

Love somebody

And now it's time to make a change

Revolution day

Put it into action live compassionately

You take the black and the white

Red yellow brown

Life gets better

We look around and see all of humanity

Waiting on someone

Someone is you and me

(Chorus x2)

(Vamp x2)

You can't give it

Till you live it

You can't live it

Until you give it away

You can't give it

Till you live it

Now that your heart is wide open

You gotta give all of your love

(Bridge)

You can't live without giving love

So let your heart be open

Just reach out and

Just reach out and love

(Chorus)

How can I thank You for the way that you freely gave

Love so beautiful unconditionally

Had to stop take a break feelin' good today

## Lyrics

To all the travelers

Pilgrims longing for a home

From one who walks with you

On this journey called life's road

It is a long and winding road

From one who's seen the view

And dreamt of staying on the mountains high

And one who's cried like you

Wanting so much to lay down and die

I offer this, we must remember this

(Chorus)

We are not home yet

We are not home yet

Keep on looking ahead

Let you heart not forget

We are not home yet

Not home yet

So close your eyes with me

And hear the Father saying, welcome home

Let us find the strength

In all His promises to carry on

He said, I go prepare a place for you

So let us not forget

(Chorus x2)

I know there'll be a moment

I know there'll be a place

Where we will see our Savior

And fall in His embrace

So let us not grow weary

Or too content to stay

'Cause we are not home yet

We are not home yet

Not home yet

So let us journey on

Artist: Out of Eden

Album: No Turning Back (1999)

Appears on: WOW 2000: The Videos

## Lyrics

Lookin' for love, lookin' for love

Lookin' for, lookin' for, lookin' for love

Lookin' for love, lookin' for love

Lookin' for, lookin' for, lookin' for love

Your heart is broken

And you're wonderin'

What you can do to ease

The hurt and pain you feel

You're lettin' these no ones

Get in closer

Than they need to

'Cause you're lookin' for love

Oh, I've got a feelin'

That no one's told you

No one is bothered at all

To give you what you need

So you're out searchin'

For someone to hold on to

But you don't know it's right there

If you'd only see

(Chorus)

Lookin' for love in all the wrong places

Just to find someone who can erase

The hurt you feel, if you could you'd get a potion

The love of God goes deeper than an ocean

Lookin' for love you know that I can show you

'Cause what I've found goes on and on and on

And you never have to worry about it bein' gone

You're on your own now, doin' your own thing

Say you don't need nobody's help to make it through

But your really wastin' your time

(You're still lonely)

And you know that your gonna find

That you're only left more empty

Then you were before

Oh, but I'm tellin' you

You don't have to look around

Let me tell you 'bout the love that I have found

Everything that your heart needs

It's just right here, right here waitin'

No you don't have to look no more

Real love is knockin' on your door

Everything that your soul needs

It's just right here, right here waitin' for you

(Chorus)

Now, there's puppy love and crushes

Such as girl meets boy

Goin' out and do you like me?

Check her yes or no

Well, I was lookin' for love

In the deepest of all places

Though I found it on a two-way street

Lifted in spaces

The status of a broken heart

Eternity while the phony one

Love is blind, I'm fallin' it

While I'm bumin' into hurdles

Since I got most all love

And we can feel it in this presence

God is closer than close

Why try to reach Him long distance?

Oh, my friend I'm tellin' you

I've been there myself a time or two

When I was just runnin' 'round

To find peace for my heart when it's been broken down

There's somethin' that you need to see

The one who made you loves you please believe

It's all you need to get by and you know somebody

So just tell me why you're

(Chorus x2)

(x2)

Lookin' for love, lookin' for love

Lookin' for, lookin' for, lookin' for love

Lookin' for love, lookin' for love

Lookin' for, lookin' for, lookin' for love

And claim victory's on the way

Because out of your obstacle

Album: Live the Life (1998)

Appears on: WOW 1998

## Lyrics

Another question in me

Out for the powers that be

It's got me thrown and so I

Put on my poker face

And try to figure it out

This undeniable doubt

A common occurrence

Feeling so out of place

Guarded and cynical now

Can't help out wondering now

My heart evolved into a

Rock beating inside of me

So I reel, such a stoic ordeal

Where's that feeling that I don't feel

(Chorus)

There was a boy who had the faith to move a mountain

And like a child he would believe without a reason

Without a trace he disappeared into the void and

I've been searching for that missing person

Under a lavender moon

So many thoughts consume me

Who dimmed that glowing light

That once burned so bright in me

Is this a radical phase

A problematic age

That keeps me running

From all that I used to be

Is there a way to return

Is there a way to unlearn

That carnal knowledge

That's chipping away at my soul

Have I been gone too long

Will I ever find my way home

(Chorus)

He used to want to try to walk the straight and narrow

Ha had a fire and he could feel it in the narrow

It's been a long time and I haven't seen him lately, though

I've been searching for that missing person

(Bridge)

For that missing person

For that missing person

Oh oh, oh oh

(Chorus)

He used to want to try to walk the straight and narrow

Ha had a fire and he could feel it in the narrow

It's been a long time and I haven't seen him lately, though

I've been searching for that missing person

oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Where are you?

Where are you?

I can't feel You by my side so

I'll hold tight to what I know

You're here

Love is the river than flows through

Love is the arms that are holding you

And love is the place you will fly to

I could move to Hollywood

Get my teeth capped I know I could

Be a big star on the silver screen

Just like James Dean, I could be a star

I could climb the corporate ladder

Buy, sell, and liquidate

Maybe be just like the Beatles

Melodic, rocking heavyweights

I could learn to sing and dance

If I only had a chance

I could be a big rock star

I could be anything I wanted to

I could be anything but one thing's true

Chorus

Never gonna be as big as Jesus

Never gonna hold the world in my hand

Never gonna be as big as Jesus

Never gonna build a promised land

But that's alright okay with me

I could build a tower to Heaven

Get on top and touch the sky

I could write a million songs

All designed to glorify

I could be about as good

Good as any human could

But that won't bet me by

I could be anything I wanted to

I could do anything but one thing's true

## Lyrics

I've been down so long

I've been hurt for so long

There were times I thought I'd never see the break of day

It was hard for me to see your plan for me

And I tried to believe surely it won't last always

But night after night

Night after night

Night after night

I pray Lord, don't take your joy from me (don't take it Father)

Then late one night, then late one night

I read in your love letter that it's gonna get better

(Chorus)

Don't You know that I've been looking for You?

I realize nothing else will satisfy me

I'm so glad I found You

Now that I'm changed no one can keep me away from You

When my enemies, tried to come for me

And they thought that my world was coming to an end (uh)

All the while You knew (that's right)

That I would make it through (uh)

I feel closer to You now than I was when I first began

Hallelujah

Jesus, You are

Jesus, You are

Jesus, You are (you are Jesus)

You are my sunlight after the rain

Wherever You are, Wherever You are (I wanna)

I just wanna be near You

I'm so glad I can hear You

(Chorus x2)

(Vamp)

Oh oh

Oh, oh, oh (that's for the struggle)

Oh oh

Oh, oh, oh (that's for the pain)

Oh oh

Oh, oh, oh (that's for those dark nights)

Oh oh

Oh, oh, oh

Jesus, You are

Jesus, You are

Jesus, You are (you are Jesus)

You are my sunlight after the rain

Wherever You are, wherever You are

I just wanna be near You

I'm so glad I can hear You

(Chorus x2)

Oh oh

Oh oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh oh)

Oh oh

Oh, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

## Lyrics

You think that no one understands

When you don’t feel strong

Hey, I got an answer for you

There’s a way that’s light and easy, it’s true

He knows that when you fall

So get up and go on

And I want you to know that you don’t have to go all alone

Chorus

Even with tears in your eyes

Count it all joy until the time

Until you make it through the storm

Turn from your past say goodbye

Remember you were crucified with Christ

Yea oh ye, so let the weak say I’m strong, yea yea

So read the word renew your mind

When they tried to remind you

The road you use to travel

Can be a distant memory, you decide

The wind and the waves

Stare you in the face

Put on your armour, and don’t run away

I know that Jesus is there

So just cast all your cares

It will be alright

Chorus

And when you know you got a weakness

He will be strong, on that day you will say

You belong in the presence of the Lord

So let Him reign, let Him reign, let Him reign in your heart

In your heart

You lift me up with Your love

You lift me up with Your love

You lift me up with Your love

You lift me up

Waiting for the sunrise

Waiting for the day

Waiting for a sign that I'm

Where You want me to be

You know my heart is heavy

And the hurt is deep

But when I feel like giving up

You're reminding me

That we all fall down sometimes

When I hit the ground

(Chorus)

You lift me up when I am weak

Your arms wrap around me

Your love catches me so I'm letting go

You heart's all that I need

Your love carries me so I'm letting go

And when I lose my way

And when I'm crying out and fallen down

You are here to

Sometimes I feel like this world is just one big gigantic merry-go-round

You gotta hold on tight or you get hurled through the air

Yeah, life is a 3 ring circus with clowns and freaks and camels and such

And you never know when you might be attacked by the bears

(Chorus x2)

Give me love, give me love

Love me good

Give me love

Give me love, give me love

Love me good

Love me good

Sometimes I feel like I'm afraid of my own shadow and then

Sometimes I can feel as bold as Genghis Khan

But I could never live in a yurt on a diet of Mongolian barbecue

I conquer the world for a moment then the moment is gone

(Chorus x4)

Let us take a moment now to bow our heads and pray

If only to give thanks for making it through another day

Sometimes I wish I was in a movie or some 70's TV thing

Where everything gets neatly wrapped by the end of the show

Yeah, but this ain't Hollywood and this sure ain't the 'Brady Bunch'

And how this plot's gonna all pan out I don't really know

(Chorus x2)

Oh, love me good

Give me love

Yeah, love me good

Oh, I need Your love

Oh, love me good

Oh, You gotta give me love

Yeah, love me good

Love me

Oh, I need Your love

I give my love to You

Oh, love me good

Yeah, love me good

Oh, love me good

Yeah, love me good

Love me good, yeah hey

Love me, love me, love me good

Did you know that your baby boy

Has walked where angels trod

And when you kissed your little baby

You've kissed the face of God

Will one day rule the nation

Did you know that your baby boy

## Lyrics

You’ve done what you promised that you’d never do

Your innocence gone and your fears coming true

How did you end up like this, feeling so lost?

Like your life is in pieces too broken to fix

And chains got you tied to a weight you can’t lift

But the biggest mistake that you made

Isn’t too big

(Chorus)

You’re not beyond repair

Grace meets you anywhere

And the mess of your heart

Is where love’s gonna start

Cause you are, never beyond repair

You’re never beyond repair

For all of your pain there’s a father who hurts

For all of your hurt there’s a healer who works

You’re never too far from his reach

So just believe, just believe

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

The moment you gave up

He gave up his life for you

The savior is able

His forgiveness is the proof

(Chorus x2)

Never beyond repair

You’re never beyond repair

## Lyrics

Shoulder to the wheel

For someone else's selfish gain

Here there is no choosing

Working the clay

Wearing their anger like a ball and chain

Fire in the field

Underneath the blazing sun

But soon the sun was faded

And freedom was a song

I heard them singing when the day was done

Singing to the Holy One

(Chorus)

Lead me on, lead me on

To a place where the river runs

Into Your keeping, oh

Lead me on, lead me on

The awaited deliverance

Comforts the seeking, lead on

Waiting for the train

Labeled with a golden star

Heavy hearted boarding

Whispers in the dark

"Where are we going, is it very far?"

Bitter cold terrain

Echoes of a slamming door

Chambers made for sleeping forever

Voices like thunder in a mighty roar

Cryin' to the Lord

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Man hurts man

Time and time, time again

And we drown in the wake of our power

Somebody tell me why

(Chorus x2)

(Lead me on)

Lean on me

Lead on, lead on

(Lead me on)

It's the comfort I'm seeking

(Lead me on)

It's time for letting go

All of our if only's

'Cause we don't have a time machine

Would we really want to use it

Would we really want to go change everything

Cause we are who and where and what we are for now

And this is the only moment we can do anything about

(Chorus)

So breathe it in and breathe it out

And listen to your heartbeat

There's a wonder in the here and now

It's right there in front of you

And I don't want you to miss the miracle of the moment

There's only One who knows

What's really out there waiting

And all the moments yet to be

And all we need to know

Is He's out there waiting

To Him the future's history

And He has given us a treasure called right now

And this is the only moment we can do anything about

(Chorus)

And if it brings you tears

Then taste them as they fall

Let them soften your heart

And if it brings you laughter

Then throw your head back

And let it go

Let it go, yeah

You gotta let it go

And listen to your heartbeat
