I Still Believe In Forever

Time after time
I’ve come to find
You’re all that I need
Day after day
You show the way
I’ll walk where You lead
Even if every star above should fall from the sky
I will believe
What is unseen
Though my heart questions why

I hear the world say that love can never win
That love has to always have an end (but)

Chorus:
I still believe in forever
I still will trust You with all of my heart
I still believe there’s a Heaven above
I still believe in forever
I still will trust You with all of my heart
I still believe in never ending love

Lie after lie
Hope slowly dies
Your heart’s been deceived
Love after love
Push comes to shove
And somebody leaves
Even if every grain of sand were washed from the sea
You can survive
The lonely nights
If you’ll only believe

I know you’re feeling like love can never win
That love has to always have an end


I Choose To Follow

Voices
I hear them calling for me to come away
Choices
I find them waiting for me with each new day

But when I start to listen
And obey the Voice that knows my heart
It comforts me to know how close You are

Chorus:
I choose to follow
I choose to let You lead
With child-like faith I’ll walk each day
Knowing that You’re all I need
I choose to love You
Because You’ve chosen me
Of all the things that I could choose to do
I choose to follow You.

Questions
You know they flood my mind when I kneel to pray
Lessons
I’ve learned from every answer You’ve brought my way

You patiently remind me
That it is by faith I must be led
Even though I don’t know what’s ahead


River of Light

Another day…I’m feeling’ down again
Where do I turn now that I need a friend

When I’m feeling lonely
I look to the One and Only

Chorus:
River of Light
Drowning my sins forever
Pour over me with cleansing grace
River of Light
Source of my inspiration
Carry me to a brighter place

Another night…tired of the games I play
Don’t wanna keep chasin’ this masquerade

I need somethin’ better
Somethin’ that lasts forever

Chorus

I feel the white water surging thru my veins
I get down on my knees and it lifts me up again

Chorus


Extra Mile

It may be a phone call late at night
That wakes my heart and brings me to my knees
It could be the hurt that’s in your eyes
That shakes my soul from all complacency
Oh…I want you to know
That I will be the one who prays for you

It may be the presence of your past
That haunts your very will to just believe
It may seem the weight of all the world
Has crushed your dreams and laid them at your feet
Oh…I want you to know
That I will be a friend to see you through

Chorus:
For I will walk the extra mile
When the road ahead seems long
I will share those lonely silent nights
That pass without a song
Knowing that the darkness is but for a little while

For you my friend I will walk
I will walk the extra mile

It may be the mention of your name
That brings a smile into my busy day
It could be a place we’ve been before
That Echoes all the tender words you’d say
Oh…I want you to know
That I have never had a friend like you…like you
And though the miles create a distance
That keeps us worlds apart
There’s a road you walk each day
That travels through my heart

For you my friend I will walk
I will walk the extra mile


If We Believe

The work is at hand
A dying world awaits a reason to survive
Through compassionate eyes
We see the needs too great to push the call aside
Now’s the time – we must show them love brings life

Chorus:
If we believe Jesus lives
His power lives within
If we believe Jesus saves
We can lead the lost to Him
If we believe that He is coming
We’ve got to work like it’s tonight
We can change the world by His might – if we believe

The challenge we face
Is not an easy task but still His will remains
He will conquer our fear
When we boldly ask "Lord send us in Your name"
We will go ‘cause His strength is ours to claim

By His spirit we know
God enables the ones He has chosen

Chorus

Yes we believe Jesus lives
His power lives within
Yes we believe Jesus saves
We will lead the lost to Him
Yes we believe that He is coming
We’re gonna work like it’s tonight
We can change the world by His might – it we believe


To Forgive

Well I have never been the kind
To let too many get behind
The wall that I have built around my heart
And now I find myself afraid
And feeling like I’ve been betrayed
By one that I have trusted from the start

But friends are only human and at times they’re gonna fall
But when it hurts the most is when they need you most of all

Chorus:
To forgive
Is to reach out to your brother
As one friend to another
No matter what the cost
To forgive
Is to leave the past behind you
And pray tomorrow finds you
Stronger for the journey
As every day we’re learning
To forgive

It was another place and time
When I had failed a friend of mine
And there was no one else to take the blame
But when He could have turned away
Somehow He found the strength to stay
His love for me was stronger than the pain

In light of all His mercy it’s much easier to see
That even from the cross the Lord was calling you and me

Chorus


The Love We Know

Was it you or was it me
What does it matter anyway
Let’s forgive and forget who’s to blame
‘Cause building walls can tear us down and
Here we draw the line
What we have is hard to find

Chorus:
We’ve gotta hang on to the love we know
Can’t afford to let it go
Give the fire a steady glow
And hang on to the love we know

In a world of push and shove
Love is knocked around
Everybody needs a hide-a-way
I’ll be yours and you’ll be mine and
When the day is done
We will have somewhere to run

Chorus

Got to hang on to the love we know
Let the love we know stay strong
Love is so few and far between, oh
We’ve got to hang on

Chorus


Call Me

Deception
So warm and inviting
You promise your affection
You just love to lie to me
But I found dedication
In the heart of my holy Lord
So I made my confession
And now it’s Jesus that I’m living for
(And He says…)

Chorus
Call Me – when you need assistance
Call Me – when you start to fall
Call Me – when you face resistance
Call Me – we’ll tear down the wall

Temptation
You taste as sweet as honey
Fool with my imagination
You try and blame it all on me
But I changed my direction
Since last time you came calling
And I’m walking with Jesus
And He keeps my feet from falling
(And He says…)

Chorus


Stand Up

I see it all around
There’s a new age on the rise
They’ll try to tear you down
Don’t you believe their lies

It’s in the magazines
Every night on the TV screen
When morals come and go
We need to let them know

Chorus
Stand up for the truth in this world
Stand up, we won’t be afraid
Stand up so everybody can see
Jesus, He is alive in a big, big way

It’s time to finally speak the truth
In this world of compromise
And be the living proof of love
They just can’t deny

Already made my choice
I’m gonna follow Jesus’ voice
I’m gonna do what’s right
It’s time to join the fight


Shine Out The Light

Within the heart of everyone
Who has come to know the Lord
There is a light that’s burning
Where nothing has before
From the kindle of compassion
To the fever of the flame
There’s a God up in Heaven
Who is calling your name

Chorus:
Shine out the light
Shine out the light
Shine out the light to the world
Like a candle in the darkness
Burning through the night
We’ve got to shine out the light to the world

When all your friends are crying out
From the pain that seems too great
It’s up to you to tell them
Before it gets too late
But the words that ring the loudest
Can be spoken with your heart
Cause when the fire’s truly burning
It will cut through the dark

Chorus


That’s What My Father Would Do

The moment my father came in
He saw in my eyes that I’d failed again
But with just a few words and his touch
He said that I was his child and he’d never give up
On the person he knew I could be
Cause my father believed in me

Chorus:
That’s what my Father would do
He’d say my love is stronger
Than anything you’re going through
My arms are waiting for you
And though it seems too good to be true
That’s just my Father
And that’s what my Father would do

All of us wish that we had
The love that we need from that kind of dad
And I’d just like to show you the way
To reach out to the Father who’s waiting today
For the chance just to let you know
That His heart longs to hold you close

Chorus
