## Lyrics

Well, you came in my life like a ray of light

Shining through the clouds in my heart

I just looked at you and the world was new

It was right right from the start

Whoa, oh, oh, oh you came to me

Whoa, oh, oh, oh with a love so sweet

And I'll never never never be the same

(Chorus)

Everything changes

Nothing looks the same through the eyes of love

Everything changes (Everything changes)

When you love some, love some, love someone

Everything changes

Thought there never would be anyone for me

Then you came and changed everything

Now I shine like new because I've got you

Oh, ain't love a wonderful thing

Whoa, oh, oh, oh you took my blues

Whoa, oh, oh, oh made them yesterday's news

And I'll never, never ever be the same

(Chorus)

Everything changes

Nothing looks the same through the eyes of love

Everything changes (Everything changes)

When you love some, love some, love someone

Everything changes

Standing in the light of a bright new sun

Everything changes (Everything changes)

When you love some, love some, love someone

Everything changes

I'm looking around me

And I'm loving what I see

Cause I found somebody somebody who loves me

Whoa, oh, oh, oh you came to me

Whoa, oh, oh, oh with a love so sweet

And I'll never never never be the same

(Chorus x2)

Everything changes

Artist: Seabird

Appears on: WOW Hits 2011 DVD

## Lyrics

Don't you remember

You were happy when you were younger

Things were so simple, yeah

'Til the day you walked out on your mother

But now you blame yourself because you're by yourself

And you feel like it's not gonna to change

You're crying on the floor 'cause you can take no more

Looking for a way to escape

(Pre-Chorus)

And all this time saying you were fine

And everyone still to blame

Well there you are, you and your broken heart

It's written all over your face

(Chorus)

Don't you know, don't you know that you're beautiful? Yeah

Don't you know, don't you know that you're beautiful?

I see you laughing

But I know inside that you're crying

Just tell me what happened when things went wrong

We'll try to make sense of it all

Please don't blame yourself 'cause you're not by yourself

I've been right here all along

Don't have to be alone because you've always known

Wherever your heart is my home

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

Can't you see what you mean to me?

Can't you see what you mean to me?

(Interlude)

Come out of sadness

From wherever you've been

Come broken hearted

Let rescue begin

Come find your mercy

Oh sinner come kneel

Lift up your face

Oh wanderer come home

You're not too far

So lay down your hurt

Lay down your heart

Come as you are

There's hope for the hopeless

And all those who've strayed

Come sit at the table

Come taste the grace

There's rest for the weary

Rest that endures

Earth has no sorrow

Do You Know Him

## Lyrics

(Chorus)

Do you know Him?

Do you know Him?

Do you know Him, do ya do ya?

He rolled the stone away and He rose again to give me another chance;

Turned water into wine, preached from sea to sea

Saved three brothers from the fire, and delivered me

Tell me who is this man that makes the minimum waves obey His command;

Some say Elijah, some say a prophet, some say a teacher

Tell me do you know who He is?

(Bridge 1)

People talking, people always talking

Everybody's talking 'bout a new thang;

Don't we know that Jesus is the real thang?

Do you know it, you know it, you know it, you know?

Get up

Get up

He stepped out of eternity into time

And to seal on my behalf and to redeem lost man

He spoke and it was, He created dust

By the power of His voice, here's the keys to your life

(Bridge 2 x2)

People talking, people always talking

Everybody's talking 'bout a new thang;

Don't we know that Jesus is the real thang?

Do you know it, you know it, you know it, you know?

When every breath gets harder to breathe

## Lyrics

Look at all the mistakes I made before

I've fallen short and done so much more

But now I realize

How I'm nothing without You on my side

So now Lord here I stand

And I'll never leave You again

(Chorus)

Forever, Forever

With all my heart

Every single part

Forever, Forever

My body and soul

You're all I'm living for

I'm forever Yours

Yes I am

Today I lose myself

And I give You every single breath

With all that I thought I was made of

The greatest gift turns out to be Your love

And now I don't, I don't wanna run no more

I'm taking advantage

Of this open door

(Chorus)

Lord, I’m forever yours

For what it's worth

I don't deserve

This chance You're giving me

Such an oppurtunity

To start again

When it really makes no sense

That You will love me

Inspite of what You've seen

So now Lord, here I stand

And I'll never leave you again

(Chorus)

Forever, forever, yeah

With all my heart

Every single part I'm here

Forever, forever Yours

I present myself to You

That's the least I can do

Forever, Forever

I give it all, I give it all to You (forever)

Take complete control

## Lyrics

The long awaited rains

Have fallen hard upon the thirsty ground

And carved their way to where

The wild and rushing river can be found

And like the rains

I have been carried here to where the river flows, yeah

My heart is racing and my knees are weak as I walk to the edge

I know there is no turning back once my feet have left the ledge

And in the rush I hear a voice

That's telling me it's time to take the leap of faith

So here I go

(Chorus)

I'm diving in

I'm going deep

In over my head I want to be

Caught in the rush

Lost in the flow

In over my head I want to go

The river's deep

The river's wide

The river's water is alive

So sink or swim I'm diving in

There is a supernatural power

In this mighty river's flow

It can bring the dead to life

And it can fill an empty soul

And give a heart the only thing

Worth living and worth dying for, yeah

But we will never know the awesome power of the grace of God

Until we let ourselves get swept away into this holy flood

So if you'll take my hand

We'll close our eyes and count to three

And take the leap of faith, come on let's go

(Chorus)

Come on let’s go

(Chorus x2)

So sink or swim I'm diving in

So sink or swim I'm diving in

I'm diving in

I'm diving in

I'm diving in

I’m diving in

Free, free from my past, free from the pain

Free from the guilt that would cause me to be ashamed

Once, once I was blind but now I see clearly

The debt that I owe Jesus paid for me

No more chains are binding me, I'm totally free

Even my human desires, desire to crucify my soul

Could not await the, the fact that You made me whole

Time after time I remind myself that Your mercies each day are new

Help me oh Lord to establish and know that at Calvary I was redeemed

(Chorus)

Even though I was a sinner

You commended Your grace and Your love toward me

Saved me from death and destruction

Gave me life eternally

Not after my sins have You dealt with me, Lord

I'm so grateful for all You do

Iniquity doesn't take my reward

You still love me and tell I am Your own

Don’t Give Up on Jesus

Appears on: WOW Gospel 1999 album

## Lyrics

When your life is tossed and scorned,

And the hope you have is gone,

Don't give up on Jesus.

When you've tried everything you know,

And you're looking for a place to go,

Don't give up on Jesus.

When you've gone past your limit,

And you can't take it another minute,

Don't give up on Jesus.

When this world spins 'round and 'round,

And you can't tell your up from down,

Don't give up on my Jesus.

For He's met all your needs before,

And you dare not doubt, He'll bring you out,

And He'll do it over again.

Just one wink of His eye,

Put the shadows in the sky

For all to see again.

He sits high and He looks low,

He knows the way that I should go.

And the Lord, He has promised

To supply all your needs.

His throne's in heaven and His foot's on earth,

And He controls my destiny,

And He knows the way we should go,

And He knows the way we should go.

Don't give up, no.

Don't you dare give up.

Don't you lose faith,

You just try.

## Lyrics

There's got to be more

Than going back and forth

From doing right to doing wrong

Cause we were taught that's who we are

Come on get in line right behind me

You along with everybody

Thinking there's worth in what you do

(Pre-Chorus)

Then like a hero who takes the stage when we're

On the edge of our seats saying it's too late

Well let me introduce you to amazing grace

(Chorus)

No matter the bumps

No matter the bruises

No matter the scars

Still the truth is

The cross has made

The cross has made you flawless

No matter the hurt

Or how deep the wound is

No matter the pain

Still the truth is

The cross has made

The cross has made you flawless

Could it possibly be

That we simply can't believe

That this unconditional

Kind of love would be enough

To take a filthy wretch like this

And wrap him up in righteousness

But that's exactly what He did

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Take a breath, smile and say

Right here right now that I'm okay

Because the cross was enough

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

No matter what they say

Or what you think you are

The day you called His name

He made you flawless

He made you flawless

No matter the bumps

No matter the bruises

No matter the scars

Still the truth is

The cross has made

The cross has made you flawless

Whenever I call You're always there

Whenever I'm hurting You ease the pain

Never disappointed, never ever let down

Never too busy whenever I'm hurting

To take the time out to stop the pain

Never too hurried

Whenever I'm worried

That's the reason I'll make it known

(Chorus)

Every time I run to You

Every time I come to You

Every time I call You

You're right there

Every time I reach to You

Anytime I ever needed You

Every time I call to You

You're right there

It's not uncommon at the beginning

For love to be at Your back and call

It's been some time now

And you haven't slowed down

That's the reason I'll make it known

(Chorus)

It's not on purpose the wrong I've done

It's just that my weaknesses caused me to run

But the fear of failure loses it's scare

To the calm of knowing You're always there

I'd love like I'm not scared

Give when it's not fair

Live life for another

Take time for a brother

Fight for the weak ones

Speak out for freedom

Find faith in the battle

Stand tall but above it all

Fix my eyes on you

I learned the lines and talked the talk (everybody knows it, everybody knows it)

But the road less traveled is hard to walk (everybody knows it, everybody knows)

It takes a soldier

Who knows his orders

To walk the walk I'm supposed to walk

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

The things of Earth are dimming

In the light of Your glory and grace

I'll set my sights upon Heaven

I'm fixing my eyes on you

I'm fixing my eyes on you

I'm fixing my eyes

(Chorus)

I fix my eyes on you

I fix my eyes on you

For unto us a Child is born

Unto us a Son is given, unto us

For unto us a Child is born

Unto us a Son is given

Unto us a Son is given

(Chorus)

For unto us a Child is born

He shall be called Prince of Peace

Little shepherd boy

Wrapped in swaddling clothes

He shall be called Mighty One

For unto us a child is born

His Kingdom and throne

Shall be no end

Established to judge

With justice and love

Now and ever more

And, Lord, we implore

And the government shall be upon His shoulders

And his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor

The Mighty God, the Everlasting Father

The Prince of Peace

(Chorus)

Oh, Jesus

For unto us a Child is given

It's Jesus

He was bruised for our transgressions

(For unto us a Child is born)

Wounded for our inequities

Yes, He was, yes, He was

But against, principalities

For God has overcome and delivered me

Victory

## Lyrics

Woke up this morning, jumped out of bed

Hit my head on a lampshade and the clock said

That I'm running late so I'm rushing trying to get on my way

I get to my car and the gauge is on e

Get gas and I pay a dollar ninety-three

Got stopped by the cops 'cause I was speeding

Eighty-nine in a fifty-five, Lord, why me?

(Chorus)

On a day like today

All has gone wrong and my life seems crazy

Gotta hold on, smile on my face

'Cause I know the sun's gonna shine my way

On a day like today

Look up at the sky, you know life's so amazing

And I know I will be okay

'Cause I know the sun's gonna shine my way

It's days like this, there's a lesson learned

When I get up on the wrong side of the world

It's easy to dwell on my situation instead of every good thing

But I know I've been blessed, I gotta say thank you

And though there's stress and I'm so grateful

It's just a test he's more than able to see me through on a day

(Chorus)

I know it wouldn't hurt to smile

It's not as bad as it could be, it will work out in a while

I know it wouldn't hurt to smile

It's not as bad as it could be, it will work out in a while

You can all call me crazy

If we could learn to love our neighbors, yeah

Just like we would love ourselves

We've got to come together

'Cause in the end we can make it- alright

We've got to brave the weather

Through all of the storms

We've got to learn to love

You can call me a dreamer

But these dreams will come true

Yes, I am a firm believer, yeah

In the things that we can do

If we would all just come together

And let the Lord lead our way

There is nothing that we can't do

There is nothing we can't face

(Chorus)

And I know there will come a day

When the Lord will call His own away

To a place that He has made for all of us

But until the day of His return

There's a lesson that we've got to learn

We are brothers and we're sisters

We are one

Oh yeah

You know we've got to learn

You know we've got to

You know we've got to learn to love

## Lyrics

Hidden

So well hidden in this picture

Why can't I be drawn inside these lines?

Willing

Just to vanish in Your shadow

What would wear away this thin disguise?

Surrounded by myself I got so tired of me

But I know, I know what I need

(Chorus)

Wish I could disappear inside You

Disappear

Hidden in the way I was intended to be

Closer to You and further from me

I would disappear, I would disappear

Disappear

Given,

I've been given so much freedom

Grace abounds and I'm the chief abuser

Been living

In a house that I've constructed

Out of anything that makes me feel

Good and safe and right

But the consequence of choices so easily fade

There's an empty place I'd eagerly trade

(Chorus)

Putting focus into myself

Now it's coming clear

Hidden in the way I was intended to be

Closer to You and further from me

I would disappear, I would disappear

Disappear

Putting focus into myself

I got to be somebody else

Coming closer, getting near I'll disappear

And I'm putting focus into myself

I've got to be somebody else

Everything is coming clear I'll disappear

## Lyrics

It feels so good to make it this far

And I didn't think I could take it so long

There were days I wanted to quit

I said surely this is it but I held on

And I watched as so called friends turn and walk away

It hurt so much I didn't have words to say

But even when my day turns to night and nothin' seems just right

Lord, I thank You for, for my life

(Chorus)

For my life, Lord, I thank You

For every victory in You I've seen

And all the moments I know it was You who kept me

So I thank You for, for my life

And I watched you take my family from there to here

And when times where a lil' rough, God, I know You were near

And the moments I thought I'd fail, I was reminded of your nails

So I held on

And if I never live to see another day

There is nothin' I would change or take away

I've had so many ups that they far outweigh my downs

Lord, I thank You for my life

(Chorus)

I realized some didn't make it

I could've been one of the ones who lost my way

And there was times, Lord, I knew I almost went crazy

But I'm still here with my life

(Chorus)

It may not be all that I hope for

And every dream has not yet been realized

And to see Your face one day, God

I know it's all gonna be worth it

So I thank You, thank You for every mountain, every valley

God, everythin' You brought me through, thank You

I know, I know it was You

Just wanna take the time to say thank You Jesus, for my life

We will praise and lift You high, El-Shaddai

Through Your love and through the ram

You saved the son of Abraham

Through the power of Your hand

Turned the sea into dry land

To the outcast on her knees

You were the God who really sees

And by Your might

You set Your children free

(Chorus)

Through the years You made it clear

That the time of Christ was near

Though the people couldn't see

What Messiah ought to be

Though Your Word contained the plan

They just would not understand

Your most awesome work was done

Through the frailty of Your Son

Sometimes you have to encourage yourself

Sometimes you have to speak victory during the test

And no matter how you feel

Speak the word, and you will be healed

Gotta pat your own self on the back

Sometimes you have to speak victory during the test

And no matter how you feel

Speak the word over your life

Speak the word, and you will be healed

Speak over yourself

Encourage yourself in the Lord

Sometimes you have to speak a word over yourself

Depression is all around

But God is present help

Well, the enemy created walls

But remember giants, they do fall

Speak over yourself

Encourage yourself in the Lord

As I minister to you, oh I minister to myself

Life can hurt you so

'Til you feel there's nothing left

(No matter how you feel) no matter how you feel

Speak the word over your life, and you will be healed

You will be healed (speak over yourself)

Sometimes you gotta look yourself in the mirror

And tell yourself, "I can make it" (Speak over yourself)

You gotta remember that's life's a death lock in the power of your own tongue

(Speak over yourself and you will be healed)

Even if nobody tells you, you can run on

You tell yourself (speak over yourself) hey

You gotta remember, I'm more than a conqueror

Hey, where there is weakness in me

I believe everything that the Lord said about me

## Lyrics

The signs are obvious, they are everywhere

All that we hear about is the gloom and despair

Too many would-be prophets saying "It's the end of it all"

'Cause mother earth can't take much more

The hammer's gonna fall

So nature has its needs, that's a lesson learned

But it appears to me there are greater concerns

'Cause we can save the planet

But father time is calling us

To save somebody's life

Chorus

So I won't bend and I won't break

And I won't water down my faith

I won't compromise in a world of depression

What has been I cannot change

But for tomorrow and today

I must be a light for future generations

If we can find a way to preserve our faith

So those who follow us

See the price that was paid

Then maybe when they question

What it's gonna take to survive

They'll find the strength to carry on

In what we leave behind

Chorus

Lookin' in the eyes of the children

Knowing that tomorrow is at stake

When the choice is up to them

Will they have the strength to say

Chorus (x2)

We won't bend and we won't break

We won't water down our faith

We won't compromise in a world of depression

What has been we cannot change

For tomorrow and today

We must be a light for future generations

Snow covered rooftops

Lights on the trees

The sound of singing

I hear down every street

Families have gathered

From miles away

Oh, Merry Christmas

It's Christmas day

You see that old tree

Down Cotton Lane

Those lights keep shining

It’s always the same

We hear the church bells

Ring out to say

Oh, Merry Christmas

It’s Christmas day

Oh, Merry Christmas

It's Christmas day

Swing the lights and hang the stockings

Decorate with green and red

Made the cookies for old Santa

Made a runway for his sled

Singing carols on a sleigh ride

Gather 'round the manger scene

Open presents, read the letter

And together we will sing

Oh, Merry Christmas

Joy to the world

For every nation

For every boy and girl

Let's light a candle

For peace we pray

Oh, Merry Christmas

It's Christmas day

It's Christmas day

It's Christmas day

Let's light a candle

For peace we pray

Oh, Merry Christmas

The stars become as lasers

And all the world signs

Sudden sounds like thunder

Come from everywhere

Kicks the countdown on the snare

Across the sea of faces

Shouts of praise begin to roll

As we see the silhouette

Of the King of heart and soul

At the concert of the age

The Great I Am takes center stage

The generations stand amazed

At the concert of the age

Then a voice like a trumpet

Blows through me like the wind

Gabriel cries "Welcome home

We're ready to begin"

We know you heard Beethoven

and the king of rock-n-roll

But on behalf of the Father

We give you the King of heart and soul

You're best friends with the word regret

You're afraid that your life's been wasted

So why hope if it's only gonna let you down?

You don't think people really change

You're a mess and you'll always be the same

And you doubt if you'll ever get it turned around

(Chorus)

So I know you've been running, searching for something

But you're looking in a place you don't belong

But it's never too late, you can't outrun grace

No, mercy doesn't care what you've done

So come home

So come home

You can try to fix your broken empire

Put bricks on a cracked foundation

But you'll be building castles on the sand

There's power in the blood of Jesus

Your father's screaming just come home

And he's reaching out His hands

(Chorus)

From the shadows, from the wrong roads

From the darkness, from the unknown

To redemption, something beautiful

To a new love, to a new home

I must be close to my destiny

Trials and troubles, jealousy and envy

I must be close to what You have for me

Extremely close to my miracle

Because here comes

Confusion, problems and enemies

That I must be close to what You have for me

To whom much is given, so much is required

Be qualified, must go through the fire

But I won't smell like smoke

I'll be better than before

His guidance is in my life

Just to let me know

I must be close... (to my destiny)

Because here comes

(Confusion) and (problems) and (and enemies)

While walking out the steps

That You have planned for me

Living by faith, a bright future I see

I won't be swayed by the obstacles that I face

For my victory is secure, if I stay in the race

That's why... (I just believe)

I Just believe

(That I must be close to what You have for me)

So I'll go through it, I'll go through it

I'll go through it

I just believe, I must be close to it

So close to it, oh, so close to it

(Bridge)

(As long as You're with me, I'll get through it)

I'm gunna get through it (I'll get through it)

It may be hard sometimes (I'll get through it)

But You made me a promise

('Cause I know that I must be close to it)

And the promise is that I'm real close (close to it)

Oh, so close (close to it) extremely close

(As long as You're with me, I'll push through it)

I'm gunna push through the obstacles (I'll get through it)

The trouble and the trials (I'll get through it)

Through every struggle

('Cause I know that I must be close to it)

You are close (close) oh, so close

I just believe, I must be close

To that God has for me

I've been waiting, anticipating (I believe)

That I am close to what You have for me!
Does Anybody Hear Her

Appears on: WOW Hits 2007 DVD

## Lyrics

She is running

A hundred miles an hour in the wrong direction

She is trying but the canyon's ever widening

In the depths of her cold heart

So she sets out on another misadventure just to find

She's another two years older

And she's three more steps behind

Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?

Or does anybody even know she's going down today?

Under the shadow of our steeple

With all the lost and lonely people

Searching for the hope that's tucked away in you and me

Does anybody hear her? Can anybody see?

(Chorus)

She is yearning for shelter and affection

That she never found at home

She is searching for a hero to ride in

To ride in and save the day

And in walks her prince charming

And he knows just what to say

Momentary lapse of reason

And she gives herself away

(Chorus)

(Bridge x2)

If judgment looms under every steeple

If lofty glances from lofty people

Can't see past her scarlet letter

And we've never even met her

(Chorus x2)

He is running a hundred miles an hour

In the wrong direction
