A Prayer For Every Year

Artist: Plus One

Album: Christmas (2002)

Appears on: WOW Christmas: Red

## Lyrics

Do You remember me?

Long ago, on bended knee

I prayed to You With childhood fantasies

Well, I’m all grown up now

Can You still help somehow?

I’m not a child

But my heart still can dream

Please hear my prayer tonight

And help me do what’s right

Not for myself

But for a world in need

(Chorus)

No more lives torn apart

That wars would never start

And time would heal all hearts

And every man would have a friend

And right would always win

And love would never end

This is my prayer for every year

May kindness rule our lives

Not just the strong survive

Sweet tears for all

A thousand years gone by

This is the world I pray

We will share someday

Let me begin

By reaching out my hand, my hand

(Chorus)

What is this illusion called

The innocence of youth

Maybe only in their blind belief

Will we ever find the truth

(Chorus)

## Lyrics

I've got a secrect to tell

A midnight confession

I love the life that I lead

But it's no obsession

(Pre-Chorus)

Because I'm waiting, anticipating

Watching for your return

You'll come and get me

You know I'm ready

Enjoy my stay, but you'll take me away

(Chorus)

Like a thief in the night

Like a runaway train

Like a first class lightning fast hurricane

I'll keep my ear to the ground and my eyes to the sky

I'm ready now but somehow I know you'll take me by surprise

So I'll keep spreading the word to everybody

Until the masses have heard, about this party

(Pre-Chorus)

(Chorus)

I R.SV.P.'d on the invitation

I sent it care of the blood

That saved me on the spot

With the One who will come

(Chorus)

(Chorus)

Can't nobody do me like Jesus

Can't nobody ever come and take His place

Can't nobody do me like Jesus

Northing ever stays the same

Everything changes

Everytime I call His name

Lord I wonder who would cover me

When I found myself standing all alone

The ones I trusted they didn't love me

Cause when I looked around

My family and friends were gone

Mama told me where my help comes from

And when things get rough

I know just where to go

There's a peace that I just can't explain

For those who don't know

It ain't nothing but the Holy Ghost

(I need just a little more Jesus) Hey

I can't keep sayin' everything is wrong

Yes, my life is way too hard

But ain't nothin' too hard for God

Problems at work, problems at home

Won't everybody just leave me alone?

I can't fix you 'cause I'm tryin' to fix me

I'm tryin' to find help so I'm on my know

Gotta ache right here, pain right there

Not enough power, needed way more prayer

Seems like it's so hard to pray

Yes, that's why I lost my way

(Chorus x2)

To help me along the way

To help me along the way

To help me along the way

Appears on: WOW Hits 2001, WOW Gospel 2001 album and WOW Gospel Essentials

## Lyrics

The room grew still as she made her way to Jesus

She stumbles through the tears that made her blind

She felt such pain, some spoke in anger

Heard folks whisper, "There's no place here for her kind"

Still on she came through the shame that flushed her face

Until at last, she knelt before His feet

And though she spoke no words, everything she said was heard

As she poured her love for the Master, from her box of alabaster

(Chorus)

And I've come to pour my praise on Him

Like oil from Mary's alabaster box

Don't be angry if I wash His feet with my tears

And I dry them with my hair

You weren't there the night He found me

You did not feel what I felt

When He wrapped His love all around me and

You don't know the cost of the oil

In my alabaster box

I can't forget the way life used to be

I was a prisoner to the sin that had me bound

And I spent my days, poured my life without measure

Into a little treasure box I'd thought I'd found

Until the day when Jesus came to me

And healed my soul with the wonder of His touch

So now I'm giving back to Him all the praise He's worthy of

I've been forgiven and that's why

I love Him so much

(Chorus)

## Lyrics

I can’t say that everything’s okay

‘Cause I can see the tears you’re crying

And I can’t promise to take the pain away

But you can know I won’t stop trying

(Chorus)

I’ll be the angel by your side

I will get you through the night

I’ll be the strength you can’t provide on your own

‘Cause when you’re down and out of time

And you think you’ve lost the fight

Let me be the angel

The angel by your side

I know it feels like you’re running out of faith

‘Cause it’s so hard to keep believing

But if I can bring a smile back to your face

If for a moment, you’ll forget all about it

(Chorus)

‘Cause this won’t be the last time

You’ll need a little hope

But I want to be the first to let you know

## Lyrics

I could live life alone

And never fill the longings of my heart

The healing warmth of someone's arms

And I could live without dreams

And never know the thrill of what could be

With every star so far and out of reach

I could live without many things

And I could carry on, but...

(Chorus)

I couldn't face my life tomorrow

Without Your hope in my heart I know

I can't live a day without You

Lord, there's no night and there's no morning

Without Your loving arms to hold me

You're the heartbeat of all I do

I can't live a day without You

I could travel the world

See all the wonders beautiful and new

They'd only make me think of You

And I could have all life offers

Riches that were far beyond compare

To grant my every wish without a care

Oh, I could do anything, oh yes

But if You weren't in it all…

(Chorus)

Oh, Jesus, I live because You live

You're like the air I breathe

Oh, Jesus, I have because You give

You're everything to me

(Chorus x2)

Dodging arrows from my past

I had no hope for tomorrow

I've got my armor now

No fear, no doubt can shoot me down, yeah

No fear, no doubt gonna shoot me

Down, down, down, down, down, down

Now I'm

(Chorus)

Bulletproof, because of You, because of You

And now I'm bulletproof because of You, because of You

Your love made a way, now I'm not afraid

No matter what the world may say or what they do

I am bulletproof because of You, because of You, You, You

I know You got this whole thing under control

My soul is untouchable, because You've already won me

My victory is not in this flesh and bone

It's in the cross and I know nobody's taking it from me

Appears on: WOW Hits 2007 DVD

## Lyrics

Well, I don't know if you remember me or not

I'm one of the kids they brought in from the home

I was the red-haired boy in an old green flannel shirt

You may not have seen me, I was standing off alone

I didn't come and talk to you, 'cause that's never worked before

And you'll prob'ly never see this letter anyway

But just in case there's something you can do to help me out

I'll ask you one more time

(Chorus)

All I really want for Christmas

Is someone to tuck me in

A shoulder to cry on if I lose

Shoulders to ride on if I win

There's so much I could ask for

But there's just one thing I need

All I really want for Christmas is a family

Well, I guess I should go ahead and tell you now

If it's really true about that list you have

Somehow I always seem to end up in a fight

But I'm really trying hard not to be bad

But maybe if I had a brother or a dad to wrestle with

Well, maybe they could teach me how to get along

And from everything I've heard

Sounds like the greatest gift on earth would be a mom

(Chorus)

Is someone who'll be there

To sing me "Happy Birthday"

For the next 100 years

And it's OK if they're not perfect

Well, even if they're a little broken, that's alright

'Cause so am I

Well, I guess I should go

It's almost time for bed

And maybe next time I write you

I'll be at home

(Chorus)

Just a family

That's all I really need

I was lost with a broken heart

You picked me up, now I'm set apart

I'm feeling like the eagle that rises

Flies above the earth and it's troubles

Oh yes, He knows that there are valleys below

But under His wings there's a stronger power

Oh Father

You are my strength

On You I wait upon

Chorus

You make the road rise up to meet me

You make the sun shine warm upon my face

The wind is at my back and the rain falls soft

God i lift You high, You are my Abba

Running in this race to the finish line

The only road for me is the narrow

Not gonna stop or even look to the side

When I fix my eyes on You Jesus

Oh Father

You are my strength

Now more than ever

Chorus

When you've run too far

Can't walk another mile

Hope to Him again

Then you will rise

Gather up your wings and fly

Chorus (x2)

Do you not know?

Have you not heard?

He gives strength to the weary

To those who hope in Him

They will soar like eagles

## Lyrics

Head full of questions, how can you measure up?

To deserve affection, to ever be enough

For this existence

When did it get so hard?

Your heart is beating, alive and breathing

And there's a reason why

You are essential, not accidental

And you should realize

(Chorus)

You are beloved

I wanted you to know

You are beloved

Let it soak into your soul

Oh, forget the lies you heard

Rise above the hurt

And listen to these words

You are beloved

I want you to know

You are beloved

(Post-Chorus)

You-ou-ou, you-ou-ou, you, you are beloved

Sometimes a heart can feel like a heavy weight

It pulls you under and you just fall away

Is anybody gonna hear you call? (Oh oh)

But there's a purpose

Under the surface

And you don't have to drown

Let me remind you

That love will find you

Let it lift you out

(Chorus)

(Bridge x2)

Don't be afraid

Don't let hope fade

Keep your eyes fixed on the light above

In the heartbreak, in your mistakes

Nothing can separate you from love

You are beloved

## Lyrics

Old man Wrigley lived in that white house

Down the street where I grew up

My momma used to send me over with things

We struck a friendship up

I spent a few long summers

Out on his old porch swing

Says he was in the war in the navy

Lost his wife, lost his baby

I Brokedown and I asked him one time

How ya keep from going crazy

He said: "I'll see my son and wife in just a little while"

I asked him what he meant

He looked at me and smiled, and said

(Chorus)

I raise my hands, bow my head

I'm finding more and more truth in the words written in red

They tell me that there's more to life

Than just what I can see, oh I believe

A few years later, I was off to college

Talkin' to mama on the phone one night

Getting all caught up in the gossip of the small-town life

She said, oh, by the way child, old man Wrigley's died

Later on that night, I laid there thinkin' back

Thought 'bout a couple of long-lost summers

I didn't know whether to cry or laugh

If there was ever anybody who deserved a ticket to the other side

It'd be that sweet old man who looked me in the eye, said

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

I can't quote the book

The chapter or the verse, but

You can't tell me it all ends

In a slow ride in a hearse

You know I'm more and more convinced

The longer that I live

Yeah, this can't be, no, this can't be

No, this can't be all there is

(Chorus)

Oh I, oh I, oh I, oh I

Oh I still believe

Do you believe?

Because I believe

I believe, I believe

I believe, I believe

I still believe

Everyday is a new day

And I don't have to pretend

But I don't want this to end

When I have the chance I want to say to you

I can never take back what I put you through

I'll never do it again

We're like oil and water; still we somehow mix

And what used to be broken is somehow fixed

It's hard to explain

(Pre-Chrous)

I know some people say that opposites attract

If that's the truth then we

We will be together forever

(Chorus)

It's like I got nothing to do but think about you

I've got all the time in the world

If you look in my heart, you'll know from the start

That it's all I can do not to think about you

I gave you good reason, to walk out the door

Let me tell you I've learned a thing or two

And I'm so amazed at the things you do

Now don't let me go, oh no

t’s not everything it seems, the world and its dreams

Slipping like water through my hands tonight

All the things I thought would fill me up inside

Left me empty here and now I know why

You’re something else

All along I was looking for something more

You’re so much more

I finally found what I could never see before

You’ve always been the one that I was looking for

All of my castles in the sand washed away again

And I’m left back where I began tonight

The only thing that can ever fill me up

Has been right in front of me all the time

(Chorus)

I won’t miss you, I won’t miss you this time

I say I want you, yeah I want you in my life

You’re something else

All along I was looking for something more

You’ve always been the one that I was looking for

You’ve always been the one that I was looking for

## Lyrics

From the moment You opened up my eyes

I have seen the world in a different light

From the dawn to the setting sun

I am overwhelmed

By all that You have done

(Chorus)

Adore, Adore, Adore

Jesus I adore You

Adore

Adore, Adore, Adore, adore

Jesus, I adore You

And I lay my life before You, O Lord

There's a union of two becoming one

Deep inside my heart

I know that I belong

You have given everything to me

The least that I can do

Is give it back to You

And all I am and ever will be

Is for You, Lord

And everything within me cries

(Chorus)

(Instrumental break)

Adore, adore, adore

Jesus I adore You

Yes, I adore You

(Chorus)

And I lay my life before You

I long to love and adore You

I lay my life before You, O Lord

I adore You

## Lyrics

We all bleed the same

We're more beautiful when we come together

We all bleed the same

So tell me why, tell me why

We're divided

Woke up today

Another headline

Another innocent life is taken

In the name of hatred

So hard to take (hey!)

And if we think that it's all good

Then we're mistaken

'Cause my heart is breaking

Are you left?

Are you right?

Pointing fingers, taking sides

When are we gonna realize?

(Chorus)

We all bleed the same

We're more beautiful when we come together

We all bleed the same

So tell me why, tell me why

We're divided

If we're gonna fight

Let's fight for each other

If we're gonna shout

Let love be the cry

We all bleed the same

So tell me why, tell me why

We're divided

Tell me, who are we

To judge someone

By the kind of clothes they're wearing

Or the color of their skin?

Are you black? (black)

Are you white? (white)

Aren't we all the same inside? (the same inside)

Father, open our eyes to see!

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

Only love can drive out all the darkness

What are we fighting for?

We were made to carry one another

We were made for more, said

Only love can drive out all the darkness

What are we fighting for? yeah

We were made to carry one another

We were made for more!

(Chorus)

We all bleed the same (we all bleed the same)

We're more beautiful when we come together (let's stand united!)

We all bleed the same (we all bleed the same)

So tell me why, tell me why

We're divided

If we're gonna fight

Let's fight for each other (fight for each other!)

If we're gonna shout

Let love be the cry (be the cry!)

We all bleed the same(we all bleed the same) (bleed the same)

Let's stand united (let's stand united)

Let's stand united!

(Outro spoken by Kirk Franklin)

So Father God, I pray

That our families will come together right now

And seek Your face

You will forgive our sins

And You will heal our incredible land

In the name of the only Savior, Jesus Christ

Amen

## Lyrics

Sometimes I feel like I'm just existing

I'm not really living

I'm only watching the time slip away

I've forgotten who I am in You

I'm not who I'm meant to be

I'm drifting farther away from my destiny

(Chorus)

Awaken my heart, awaken my soul

Awaken Your power and take control

Awaken the passion to live for You, Lord

Awaken me, oh yeah

My soul is longing, my heart is searching

I'm desperate for You to move

Give me a hunger, pull me closer

I'm crying out to You

(Chorus)

Open my eyes so I can see Your presence

Dwelling inside

Wake me up, 'cause I can't live another minute

If I'm not shining Your light

Awaken my heart, awaken my soul

Awaken the passion in me, oh yeah

Awaken me

Lord, awaken me to live my destiny

Lord, awaken me and shine Your light through me

Lord, awaken me to live my destiny

Lord, awaken me and shine Your light through me

(Chorus)

Wake me up, Lord, yeah

Give me your passion, Jesus

I wanna live for you

## Lyrics

At first your only a whisper

In the back of the crowd

What used to be in the silence

Gets lost in sound

You’re vying for my attention

I'll put my ear to the ground

Searching for some sort of clarity

Am I listening to loud

(Pre-Chorus)

I don't want to be falling away

I don't want to be fading away

I'm reaching out so you'll find away

To save me

You are breaking the noise

And I start to hear your voice

And I'm left with no other choice

But to love you

I'm hanging on to every little word now

I've had enough of the chaos

Inside this audio cloud

I'm lost my sense of direction

And I'm fighting to get out

I hear your heart in the distance

A lover lost in the sound

Recalling some sort of a memory

And I know I'm found

## Lyrics

Call it a reason to retreat

I got some dreams that are bigger than me

I might be outmatched, outsized

The underdog in the fight of my life

Is it so crazy to believe

(Chorus)

That You gave me the stars, put them out of my reach

Call me to waters a little too deep

Oh, I've never been so aware of my need

You keep on makin' me see

It's way beyond me

It's way beyond me

Yeah, it's out of my league

It's way beyond me

It's way beyond me

It's way beyond

Anything that I got the strength to do

In over my head keeps me countin' on You

I'm leaving the sweet spot, sure shot

Tradin' it all for the plans You got

Is it so crazy to believe

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

You take me to the place where I know I need You

Straight to the depths that I can't handle on my own

And Lord I know, I know I need You

So take me to Your great

Take me to Your great unknown

It's way beyond me

Way, way, way beyond me

It's, it's way way beyond me

Way, way, way beyond me

## Lyrics

Dry your eyes the King is come

Death has lost and victory won

You were born to change it all

A warrior though frail and small

Just a baby

Sleeping in a manger

All the world was waiting for You to come

(Chorus)

Holy, Holy, Silent night

Peace has come to all mankind

All of this with me in mind

Under Bethlehem skies

Oh the role You came to play

Born to give Your life away

Soon You'll set the captives free

But tonight's about Your welcoming

I will listen, hear the angels singing

Glory in the highest, the Lord has come

(Chorus)

Holy, Holy

Hear the angels sing

Holy, Holy

Come now our King

## Lyrics

I love the way You love like no other

It's got nothing to do

With anything that I do

Time and time again

You forgive me

So this time I chose

To stay here with You

(Chorus)

Hold me, pull me just a little bit closer

I don't wanna lose this moment

Your love has covered me

And now I can't get over You

I can't get over You

I can't get over You

I just can't get over You

Here in the arms of my Father

Only grace can be found

So I lay my fears down

Nothing is the same anymore

You have changed me from the inside out

Now my heart is beating and it's singing

Won't You

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

I can't get over the way

Your love stays the same, oh Lord

I can't get over the way

Your love stays the same

Even through the good and the bad times

You stay the same

So my song will remain

Lord

(Chorus)

I can't get over You

I can't get over You

There is nothing I can do

I just can't get over You

Can't get over You

Can't get over You

Appears on: WOW Gospel 2019

## Lyrics

Sometimes there are obstacles in the road

That can leave you feeling low

And you don't know how to move forward

And sometimes there are turns you wanna take

But the way gets hard to trace

Now you're wondering how did you get here

But don't you give up

Until you see

How God is ordering your steps

So you can walk into your season

(Chorus)

He that has begun

A great work in you

Is faithful to perform it

God is faithful to perform it

He that has begun

A great work in you

Is faithful to perform it

Our God is faithful

I declare

You will know the favor of the Lord

And receive a harvest for your seed

And in due time

God will blow your mind

With what He planted inside of you

To bless the world as it blooms

(Chorus)

So if you ever get discouraged

Speak to yourself and say

(Bridge x2)

God is doing a great work

He's doing a great work

He's doing a great work

In me

God is doing a great work

God is (A great work)

Doing (A great work)

A great work in me

God is doing a great work

He's doing a great work (A great work)

Doing a great work (A great work)

In me

God is doing a great work

Yes he is (A great work)

Looking beyond my faults (A great work)

Loving me into my future (In me)

God is doing a great work

Great work (A great work)

Oh he's doing a great work (A great work)

In me

(Chorus)

He that has begun

A great work in you

Is faithful to perform it

God is faithful to perform it

You wanna encourage somebody (He that has begun)

Show your name (A great work in you)

He's faithful to perform it (He's faithful to perform it)

God is faithful to perform it (Faithful to perform it)

Yesterday, today and forever more

He's faithful (Is faithful to perform it)

Faithful and great (Faithful to perform it)

Great is his faithfulness

Great is his faithfulness

(Vamp)

So what should be considered

As we proceed

Is that this work

Did not begin with you

Our mothers' mothers

And fathers' fathers

Planted seeds

When we were but the faint notion of a dream

In their mind

They hope for a harvest

A legacy, a great work

So may your next step forward

Help us to connect the dots and see

This picture of greatness

In fact I hear God say

That you are his workmanship

His masterpiece

Created for such a time as this

For great works

A great, great, great work

So go be great

Don't get discouraged

Go be great

Don't you get weary

Go be great

Keep marching for justice

Keep pressing toward the mark

In this wonderful world

Where our children laugh and pray

And dream

And see greatness

Exceeding abundantly

More than we can imagine

But let me assure you

That it's great

And our God is faithful

Yes Lord, yes You're great

Yes Lord

## Lyrics

None of us knows and that makes it a mystery

If life is a comedy, then why all the tragedy

Three-and-a-half pounds of brain try to figure out

What this world is all about

And is there an eternity, is there an eternity?

(Chorus)

God if You're there I wish You'd show me

And God if You care then I need You to know me

I hope You don't mind me askin' the questions

But I figure You're big enough

I figure You're big enough

Lying on pillows we're haunted and half-awake

Does anyone hear us pray, "If I die before I wake"

Then the morning comes and the mirror's the other place

Where we wrestle face to face with the image of Deity

The image of Deity

(Chorus)

When I imagine the size of the universe

And I wonder what's out past the edges

Then I discover inside me a space as big

And believe that I'm meant to be

Filled up with more than just questions

(Chorus)

'Cause I am not big enough

## Lyrics

What do you think about when you look at me

I know we're not the fairy tale you dreamed we'd be

You wore the veil, you walked the aisle, you took my hand

And we dove into a mystery

How I wish we could go back to simpler times

Before all our scars and all our secrets were in the light

Now on this hallowed ground, we've drawn the battle lines

Will we make it through the night?

(Pre-Chorus)

Its going to take much more than promises this time

Only God can change our minds

(Chorus)

Maybe you and I were never meant to be complete

Could we just be broken together?

If you can bring your shattered dreams and I'll bring mine

Could healing still be spoken and save us?

The only way we'll last forever is broken together

How it must have been so lonely by my side

We were building kingdoms and chasing dreams and left love behind

I'm praying God will help our broken hearts align

And we won't give up the fight

## Lyrics

I was drivin' in my car last night

Radio up and came to a stoplight

Had a man who came up to my window and

Asked for a dollar cause he was in a tight jam

I could tell by his eyes he's been

Judged by the world and everyone that's close to him

But I don't see what they see

My heart believes in what he could be

I see life colorblind still

equality gets so hard to find (hard to find)

You and me both one of a kind

Made like a star to shine, let's shine

(Chorus)

Sometimes we're up and sometimes we're down

Sometimes the world goes round and round

And we don't stop to think that

We got a lot in common

Sometimes we have it sometimes we don't

What matters most is not the physical

Just look inside your soul cause

We got a lot in common

I see the sun coming up and I'm feeling the rays

And thinking back on my life and not forgetting the days

When I was a little lost and only trying to get paid

And how my momma always prayed that I would be ok

Then a day soon came when my sky turned grey

And every friend that I had turned and walked away

I never thought that I would see this day

But then I heard a voice crying through the dark

You're my son just pray

And what I said next vexed my heart but nonetheless

Admitted that I was wrong, committed to do my best

Hard times still came but they far from my chest

I breathe easy believe me my soul's at rest

(Chorus)

I can tell in your vision that you can't no more

Your shirt is stained by the tears that nobody ever saw

A slave to solitude handcuffed by people's claws

Who never even noticed the depth of the scars

A fatherless child who never got the chance to hold

Daddy's hand and mommy was always working trying to pay the rent

So your voyage began on a trail to the end

Cause you never knew what love looked like to begin

But I promise that the day will come when you win

And what you thought was once lost will be placed in your hand

Then the days of being second will be lost in the wind

So bear with us and let me hear the chorus again

(Chorus)

Through all the low times

No where to go times

When your world's crashing down

And there's no one around

Don't you worry we can make it

If we just realize we all look the same inside

Get together and come alive

(Chorus x2)

## Lyrics

When I close my eyes and think of You

And reminisce on all the things You do

I can't imagine my life without You

It's like paradise, now I

Know that it's real

It's a mystery

For someone to give their life just for me

What you did on Calvary

Makes me wanna love You more

(Chorus)

I never knew

I could be so happy

I never knew

I'd be so secure

Because of Your love

Life has brand new meaning

It's gonna be a brighter day, brighter day

Never thought that I would smile again

I never thought the dark clouds would end

Never thought that I could have a friend

That would keep me

Never leave me alone

Jesus, You're my everything

The only one that makes my heart sing (heart sing)

Now I know what real love means

It's everlasting, lasting

(Chorus x2)

Nothing can compare

To the joy You bring

An everlasting love affair

Jesus, my life would never be the same

I found someone who truly cares

## Lyrics

I'm sure he must have been surprised

At where this road had taken him

Cause never in a million lives

Would he have dreamed of Bethlehem

And standing at the manger

He saw with his own eyes

The message from the angel come to life

And Joseph said

(Chorus)

Why me, I'm just a simple man of trade

Why Him with all the rulers in the world

Why here inside this stable filled with hay

Why her, she's just an ordinary girl

Now I'm not one to second guess

What angels have to say

But this is such a strange way to save the world

To think of how it could have been

If Jesus had come as He deserved

There would have been no Bethlehem

No lowly shepherds at His birth

But Joseph knew the

Reason love had to reach so far

And as he held the Savior in his arms

He must have thought

(Chorus)

Now, I'm not one to second guess

What angels have to say

But this is such a strange

Way to save the world

Such a strange way, this is

Such a strange way

A strange way to save the world

A strange way to save the world
