Faith in Christ overcomes.

LORD CAN I WALK ON THE WATER WITH YOU

I FEEL SO FAR AWAY
BEYOND THE SUN
NO SHIP I SEE
ON MY HORIZON

I NEED TO FIND THAT PEACE
SOMETHING THAT'S TRUE
NOT OF THIS EARTH
I NEED TO WALK WITH YOU

CHORUS
WHEN RAINBOWS FADE
AND STORMS WILL RAGE
WHEN I FEEL I'M SINKING DOWN
I'LL NEED A LIFELINE
A HAND TO TAKE MINE
ONE WHO WILL SAVE ME FROM MYSELF

THE SEAS MAY CHURN
MY THOUGHTS MAY TURN
TO THE DARKNESS CHASING ME
MY EYES ARE SEARCH LIGHTS
WHEN YOU ARE IN SIGHT
I WILL BE REACHING FOR YOUR HAND
LORD CAN I WALK...TELL ME
LORD CAN I WALK
ON THE WATER WITH YOU

VERSE
BEEN DOWN A THOUSAND ROADS
THAT HAD NO END
AND CITY STREETS
HOPING TO FIND A FRIEND

THERE IN THAT GREAT SOMEWHERE
MY HOPE ABIDES
MY FAITH HOLDS ON
TILL I'M RECALLED TO LIFE

CHORUS

BORN TO WANDER

SONG IS ABOUT SEARCHING FOR ONESELF.

Maybe I was born to wander
Down roads that never end
Through desert nights
And city lights
And lonely towns
I am nowhere bound

Maybe I was born to wander
And leave the ones I love
So far behind 
Still hear them crying
Over me
May They find peace

Maybe I was born to wander
My heart won't let me stay
In one place too long
I must move on
Turn my back and go
Find that opened road

Maybe I was born to wander
And chase down every dream
From here to there
And everywhere
And in between
Until I find me

BORN TO WANDER

BORN TO WANDER - FULL DEMO

THIS IS A SONG ABOUT THE ENDURING POWER OF CHRIST.

NEVER NEVER CHANGING WORD IN AN 
EVER EVER CHANGING WORLD

SOME PEOPLE SAY THAT THE WORLD HAS CHANGED
JOHN 3:16 IS A DEAD REFRAIN
THOSE DUSTY WORDS THEY DON'T APPLY
THEY'RE RELICS IN THESE MODERN TIMES

I WAS A SHIP ON A DESERT SEA
THOSE ANCIENT WORDS CHANGED THE WORLD AND ME
TWO THOUSAND YEARS STILL GOING STRONG
THOSE WORDS IN RED LIVE ON AND ON AND ON

CHORUS
ITS THE NEVER NEVER CHANGING WORD
IN AN EVER EVER CHANGING WORLD
ITS THE NEVER NEVER FADING LIGHT
IN AN EVER EVER DARKER NIGHT
JESUS IS THE LIGHT

VERSE
THE HEART OF MAN WEARS A THOUSAND MASKS
JUST LIKE HE DID IN THOSE AGES PAST
THAT HASN'T CHANGED DOWN THROUGH THE YEARS
HIS HEART'S ASLEEP UNTIL HE HEARS

CHORUS

BRIDGE
BROTHER DON'T GET LOST IN DARKNESS
SISTER DON'T YOU WALK AWAY
JESUS IS CALLING, CALLING FOR YOU

ONE DAY YOU MAY HEAR A TRUMPET
CHRIST WILL SPLIT THE SKY IN TWO
JESUS RETURNING HE MAY COME SOON

NEVER CHANGING - DEMO - 04

This is a song about being bold and sharing the faith with the world.

START WITH ME

I COULD NEVER TELL MY FRIENDS
OF THE HOPE I HAVE WITHIN
WORDS THEY WOULD JUST RUN AWAY FROM ME

I WOULD HIDE BEHIND MYSELF
SCARED THAT I’D BE THOUGHT LESS OF
I COULD NOT DEFEND WHAT I BELIEVED 

I’VE HAD ENOUGH
I’M STEPPING UP

START WITH ME
JESUS PLEASE
GIVE ME POWER TO STEP IN THE FIRE

I AM WEAK
MAKE ME STEEL
LET ME TELL THE WORLD OF YOUR DESIRE
TO GIVE THEM THE FAITH
TO GIVE THEM THE HOPE
TO SHOW THEM YOUR LOVE
AND FILL UP THEIR SOULS

TO LET ME BREAK DOWN 
THE WALLS OF THEIR DOUBT
A STONE AT A TIME
AND LET THE DARK OUT

LORD WE NEED 
VICTORY
HERE AM I
START WITH ME

GOD YOU’VE GIVEN US THE POWER
NOW IT IS THE DAY AND HOUR
TO FIND WHAT WE’RE REALLY FIGHTING FOR

LORD I WANT TO FIGHT FOR YOU
WITH YOUR HOLY WORDS OF TRUTH
TIL THE DAY WHEN I CAN FIGHT NO MORE

IF THAT’S TODAY
I STILL CAN SAY

CHORUS

START WITH ME

This is a song about the Glory and wonder of God.

GLORIOUS DEO
IF THE STARS COULD TELL
ALL THE WONDERS THEY'VE SEEN HOW YOU FULFILLED YOUR DREAMS IN ONLY A FEW DAYS
OUT OF DARKNESS YOU
BROUGHT THE HOPE OF FIRST LIGHT AND THE BEAUTY OF LIFE
MY LORD ALL I CAN SAY...IS

CHORUS
ALL GLORY IS THINE
MAGNIFICENT SAVIOR
YOU'RE THE BREAD AND THE WINE
FATHER OH FATHER
WE'VE SO FAR TO GO
FOR WE ARE YOUR CHILDREN IN YOUR LOVE WE WILL GROW GLORIOUS
GLORIOUS
GLORIOUS
DEO

I CAN SEE THE CLOUDS
BUT I CANT MAKE IT RAIN
I CAN'T MAKE FIELDS OF GRAIN POURED LIKE GOLD ON THE LAND
I CAN FEEL THE LOVE
BUT I CANT MAKE A HEART ONE THAT WONT BREAK APART BUT LORD I KNOW YOU CAN CAUSE YOU'RE
CHORUS

Glorious Deo Mix - 02

WE ARE SAVED BY GRACE NOT WORKS.

SAVING OURSELVES

VERSE
SAVING OURSELVES OH LORD THAT'S A BIG NO CAN DO
NOBODY HAS THAT POW'R LORD ONLY YOU
WE MAY AS WELL TRY TO REACH UP AND TOUCH THE SKY
EVEN A CHILD KNOWS THEY DON'T NEED TO TRY

VERSE
SAVING OURSELVES OH LORD WE HAVEN'T BORE THE CROSS
WE HAVEN'T SHED OUR BLOOD TO SAVE THE LOST
YOU MADE THAT SACRIFICE TO SAVE US FROM OUR SINS
WHEN WE CONFESS THOSE SINS NEW LIFE BEGINS

CHORUS
OUR HEARTS WILL SING ABOUT YOUR LOVE IN SONG AND STORY
AND WE WILL SHOUT HOSANNAS LIVES UNTO YOUR GLORY
WE WILL PRAISE YOUR NAME NOW AND EVER MORE
AND WALK WITH YOU ON THAT OTHER SHORE

VERSE
SAVING OURSELVES OH LORD SOME PEOPLE THINK THEY CAN
THEY COUNT THEIR WORKS BUT THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND
WE ARE NOT SAVED BY WORKS BUT BY YOUR SAVING GRACE
THANK YOU LORD FOR YOUR GOOD LOVE AND SWEET FAITH

SAVING OURSELVES

This is a nostalgic song looking back on childhood love and growing up in a small town.

When I Was Chasing you

Watching a boy playing tag with a girl
That takes me back to a long ago world
When I was chasing you, chasing you

You’d ride around at the Dairy Queen
With some new guy and I wished it were me
Though it broke my heart, I never gave up on you

Chorus

Friends all told me that I was crazy
There’s not a chance you’d be my baby
You drove a beemer and I drove a tractor
But under the moonlight that doesn’t matter
Years have flown by and we’re still together
Looking back now seems like forever
When I was Chasing you, chasing you
When I was Chasing you

I Painted “I love you” on the town water tank
I drove you up there to see what you’d think
I hoped that you would find me really cool

You thought it was funny and we had a good laugh
Got that first kiss and more after that
You said to me that I belong to you

Chorus
Friends all told me that I was crazy
There’s not a chance you’d be my baby
You drove a beemer and I drove a tractor
But under the moonlight that doesn’t matter
Years have flown by and we’re still together
Looking back now seems like forever

Bridge

I always knew you were the one
And girl you gave me quite a run
When I was chasing you, chasing you, when I was chasing you

WHEN I WAS CHASING YOU

BORN AGAIN

I’m born again
Like a new day
Like an ocean
Makes a brand new wave
Once dead now alive
Let me testify

Chorus
I’m born again
Born again
Born again
I’m born again
Hallelujah Amen
Thank you Lord
I’m born again

These shadows
Chasing me
Want to steal my peace
Want to take my soul
And leave an empty hole
Christ you left it all
Nailed there on the cross

Chorus
I’m born again
Born again
Born again
I’m born again
Hallelujah Amen
Thank you Lord
I’m born again

Bridge
It’s a living thing you give
When I die I know I’ll live
Jesus
Savior
You’re the truth and life
You’re the reason why
I’m born again

BORN AGAIN

HEY THERE CHRISTMAS

LIKE THE BEATING OF A DRUM

Chorus
Listen people can't you feel the rhythm
Strong and steady Christ calls you to come
Come to him you lost and weary soldiers
Hearts in time like the beating of a drum

Hallelujah glory hallelujah 
Shout and sing the victory is won
We are marching to the light eternal
Step by step like the beating of a drum

VERSE
Christ is music for your soul
If you're young or if you're old
Stand up and sing his song
Humm as you walk along
His love for you is always playing on 

Chorus
Listen people can't you feel the rhythm
Strong and steady Christ calls you to come
Come to him you lost and weary soldiers
Hearts in time like the beating of a drum

Hallelujah glory hallelujah 
Shout and sing the victory is won
We are marching to the light eternal
Step by step like the beating of a drum

Verse
We're like notes that make a chord
We're the chorus for the lord
His love's a melody
Nothing sounds quite as sweet
He will keep your life in harmony

Chorus
Listen people can't you feel the rhythm
Strong and steady Christ calls you to come
Come to him you lost and weary soldiers
Hearts in time like the beating of a drum

Hallelujah glory hallelujah 
Shout and sing the victory is won
We are marching to the light eternal
Step by step like the beating of a drum

LIKE THE BEATING OF A DRUM

This song has an old Hymn like sound to it.

ON THE OTHER SIDE

When I cross the Jordan river
There my soul will be delivered
To the one who saved me from myself

I will walk along the shore
In the footsteps of my Lord
He will lead I will be close behind

No more pain and no more sorrow
No more worry bout tomorrow
All my days I will spend praising him

I will see my family there
Mom and dad safe in his care
What a day what a place I'll reside
When I'm home on the other side

Chorus
I will look out over heaven from his mountains
I will drink the waters flowing from his fountains
I will be renewed each day of my life
When I'm home on the other side
I will be renewed each day of my life
When I'm home on the other side

ON THE OTHER SIDE

ON THE OTHER SIDE-REVISED

I NEVER KNEW I COULD FLY

MY DREAMS THEY NEVER SEEMED TO TAKE FLIGHT
THEY CRASHED LIKE A COMET IN THE NIGHT
SILENT THERE IN THE DARK
LIKE ME AND MY LONELY HEART

I LONGED FOR SOMEBODY TO BELIEVE
IN ME AND TO SET MY SPIRIT FREE
YOU CAME OUT OF THE BLUE
I FOUND HOPE I NEVER KNEW

CHORUS
I NEVER KNEW I COULD FLY
I NEVER KNEW I COULD TOUCH THE SKY
I WAS SO UNSURE
FRAID TO SPREAD MY WINGS
YOUR LOVE RAISED ME UP
HIGHER THAN I EVER DREAMED
HIGHER THAN I EVER DREAMED

WHY WOULD I STAY ON THE GROUND
WHEN I'M WITH YOU I AM NEVER EARTH BOUND
FLYING WITH EYES CLOSED
FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE
YOU'RE MY WIND AND WINGS
I NEVER KNEW I COULD FLY
I NEVER KNEW I COUKD FLY

WHEN I LOOK BACK ON WHERE I HAVE BEEN
IT SEEMS LIKE A THOUSAND YEARS SINCE THEN
I'LL GO TEN THOUSAND MORE
IM NOT WHO I WAS BEFORE

CHORUS

BRIDGE
YOU SHOWED ME NEW WORLDS TO SEE
YOU SHOWED ME ALL I COULD BE 
NOW I KNOW I CAN FLY
