Reasons

Some people are dreamers, they live for the future
As if it would work out, just as they dreamed it
Would work out-somehow
Others get caught in, yesterday's papers
Too busy reading, to get on with living
But I live for now
Sometimes it's easy to make up excuses
On the flimsiest pretext and then call them reasons
But where are they now?

Bridge
I'll climb more than a mountain
Swim more than an ocean
Build up an island
Live for a lifetime

Chorus
Just give me a reason Jesus and I'll come running
When I have reasons, I know the way
I'm pointing my feet in the right direction
Give me a reason

Like I'm way too busy, I can't be involved now
And then there's the standby about understanding
But they're wrong somehow
Some people are dreamers, they live for the future
As if it would work out, just as they dreamed it
Would work out somehow


Living in the Light of Your Love

Chorus
I'm living
Living in the light of your love
Deeper than the deepest ocean
Higher than the stars above
Leading me somewhere
Out of the dark right from the start
All you give me is all that I want
To be living
Living in the light of your love

I remember stormy nights
Deep in desperation
I remember emptiness
That would not let me go

Till I found you now, somehow
Two hearts are one now
You and me soul to soul
The look in my eyes should let you know


I Know a Love

Not real sure you can make it till tomorrow
You've got a world of hurt from yesterday
You've prayed this prayer a thousand times before
It seems like nothing will ever change

You find yourself so lost in emotions
Trying to build your faith on how you feel
It seems your life's in a downhill motion
But there's a love that can change your heart for real

Chorus
I know a love
Deeper then the ocean
Greater than the pain
I know a love
Stronger than the feelings
Gives shelter from the rain
I know a love

How much more can you carry on your shoulders
It's all become more than you can bear
How much longer till you lift your heart to Jesus
And find the one who really cares

Bridge
You could keep on searching
But the answer's here for you
I know a love

In this world where the nights
Seem longer than your strength
I know a love


I Got You

Some say that I'm crazy
I'm acting like a fool
Some friends have betrayed me
Since I gave my love to you
But I'd rather wear their labels
Than live out some lie
To know all the answers
While peace is so hard to find

Chorus
I've got you, whenever the storm clouds roll
I've got you, when love steals the joy in my soul
I've got you, when life is a bitter chill
I've got you, a light burning brighter even still

Some say that maybe
It's a phase I'm going through
But their words deny their logic
When they say that I'm the fool
Faith, hope and love will never go away
Instead of getting angry
They will always have me say

Bridge
I've learned that there are no rewards
For facing this lonely world alone
Philosophy and fiction won't change
The fact that you rose
I'm glad to know I've got you


Say it with Love

There's a world full of people looking for the way
They hear a lot of talk, but what do we say?
There's a church on every corner of every town
If you understand the doctrine, then come on down
Oh, it's all so simple yet we've made it so hard
Time to put aside differences, love them as they are

Chorus
You could say it with words
But when push comes to shove
Only one way they'll know
You've got to say it with love
You could write it in the sky
But it wouldn't be enough
Only one way they'll know
Say it with love

There's a heart so lonely, praying for a hand
To take them down the road to the promised land
Well, the path that we are walking is the only one they see
Are we leaving them behind, just within our reach
Oh, let's take them by the hand and open up our hearts
Gotta lead them to the kingdom, you know where to start


Alcatraz

Snap the latch, stay down low
Come outta your cell and follow me close
Down the dark corridors, past the guards
And into the murky moor, down to the rocky shore
To sail away without a trace
He rescued me from hopelessness
I feel like I've escaped from

Chorus
Alcatraz, oh, my life was like
Alcatraz, I could have died in that
Alcatraz, what little hope was fading fast
Then I called His name, Lord, erase this impossible
Past, and before I even knew it
No more Alcatraz

This cruel world, cold and dark
Chained to pain and a criminal heart
Lock and key, guns and dogs
Had to have a miracle to beat the odds
Down to the cold concrete, a desperate cry for help
I found Heaven there on my knees
When he saved me from the hell of

Bridge
He did my time, changed my heart
And set my record straight
He sent me home with a master plan
To help some more escape from


Nothing in All of the World

There are going to be those times
When nothing falls in place
And you feel like running away
Life can be an uphill climb
And sometimes hard to face
When troubles come day after day

Channel
But all it takes is calling out his name in prayer
And faithfully, right on time, he will be right there

Chorus
Cause nothing in all of the world
Could keep his hand from reaching out
To overcome your fear and doubt
Nothing in all of the world
Nothing in all of the world
Could separate us from his love
Comfort us the way he does
Nothing in all the world
Nothing in all the world

Channel
Looking back at all the times he's seen you through
Certainly you know by now how much he cares for you

Bridge
Just remember there's no power on earth
Greater than all the love
The Lord has for us


Stand

Stand, in the end you'll still be you
One that's done all the things you set out to do
Stand, there's a cross for you to bear
Things to go through if you're going anywhere
Stand, for the things you know are right
It's the truth, that the truth makes them so uptight
Stand, all the things you want are real
You have you to complete
And there is no deal

Chorus
Stand, stand, stand everybody
Stand, stand, stand

Stand, you've been sitting much too long
There's a permanent crease in your right and wrong
Stand, there's a midget standing tall
And a giant beside him about to fall

Stand, they will try to make you crawl
And they know what your saying makes no sense at all
Stand, don't you know that you are free
Well at least in your mind if you want to be


The Door

In a world that's lost direction
In a time that's so unsure
I was longing for a refuge
A place my heart could be secure
But, every day would end just like the one before
Until someone took me by the hand
And led me to the door

Chorus
And the door is always open
For all who will come in
Though the path is sometimes hidden
With the darkness caused by sin
And though countless lives have found their way
There's still so many more now it's clear what I'm
on this earth for
To stand here and help them find the door

For every heart that aches for comfort
For every child who longs for love
For lonely nights that last forever
For peaceful days not long enough
For everyone who wonders what they're living for
Got to be someone who cares enough
To lead them to the door

Bridge
Lord help me be the one today
To clearly point the way
Everything they're looking for
Is just inside the door


Draw Me Near

Chorus
Draw me near
Draw me near into your heart
into your arms

Draw me near
Draw me near into your heart
Into your loving arms

Even though my heart has run after
Many a love I know
You're the only one for me
And I know you've waited so long to show
How strong your love will always be

Search me Lord
And rescue me from the emptiness of my soul
Help me find my way to you
Call my name
And I will run after you
With all my heart
With all my heart
