I’m afraid I see nation fighting nation I hear war has gathered in the air Will my child live a life of freedom? And I will I stand true until the end I hold on to the things you said, you said… I’ll be with you, I’ll be with you With you until the end of the world I see fire earthquake and famine I hear men say they are “the one” All these things you said were going to happen I’m still afraid, keep me steady in my heart I’ll be with you when the sun doesn’t shine I’ll be with you at the end of all time I’ll be with you when the stars fall from the sky I’ll be with you forever We hold on to the things you said
You want to know what I see When I pray and I bow on my knees? A grand design, a master plan There’s a sea of broken people An empty church and a crooked steeple They say I’m a fool If I say He’s going to save me Well you say all the world has Rejected truth and all that God has Set aside for us to be And if I am his reflection With all my imperfections I can’t call myself Anything but just forgiven Pray with me one more time tonight Pray we’ll be walking in the light of love And if you say that Jesus is alive Then he’s walking right there by your side Why do you ask WWJD? I want to take the walls of the church Knock them down and build a bridge across The valley we created Man’s religion crucified Him Pray with me one more time tonight Pray we’ll be walking in the light of love Pray that we’re not the ones to judge Pray with me one more time tonight Pray that we all would be one and Pray that our friendships would warm like the sun And pray that we’d stop judging each other We’ve got to hold together A house divided can’t stand the weather We can stand as one
Opened my history book to take a better look At where we came from and where we’re going Without a sense of time You’ve got no ears or eyes I saw a broken rhyme called human learning You know this is serious We’re repeating things we’ve done Do you wanna be a part of the solution? Do you wanna hey hey hey? 2000 years ago the greatest radical Walked the earth and said we are forgiven souls Have we forgotten Him and made religion king? Love and grace is what we should be offering We must be delirious Thinking it’s new under the sun
Well I travel so far to be where you are I’m leaving this sad and lonely place You tell me receive but it’s hard to believe That everyday can be my birthday (That I could live inside this grace) It’s coming true all the things you promised me It’s coming true all the day alive And I believe it’s only time, yeah that’s in my way now And I can leave this crooked line The mystery you are to me All the things you said I don’t understand I realize now that it takes time Uh oh, it’s my birthday Well I cut the cake, blow out the candles I’m staring down at my shoes So tell me why when you sing Happy birthday, receiving is so hard to do Happy birthday to you
I’ve been a tough man, I’ve been a hard man I’ve been a man who’s been willing to start a fight or three I’ve been a harsh man and I’ve been a “get things done” man And I’ve seen a lot of things man But now all I want is I want to be your man I’ve been a young man and I’ve been a foolish man I’ve been a proud man And worse than that I’ve been proud I am I’ve been a loved man and I’ve been a wanted man I’ve been a broken man but now all I want is I want to be wise as a serpent Gentle as a dove I want to be quick to listen And slow to speak above So now I’m giving to you everything I am I give you all that’s in my hands I lay my body down And I’m giving you my heart ‘Cause
I always wanted to be a part of something Eternally And I was searching for you and now I know You were searching too Then I met you, your arms were open wide I’ve been alive on this big blue planet But now I’m living for the first time in my life Your love is something new every day I’m in love with you And I’m connected to the universe And God it’s you Lord I waited for so long for you to answer Now I see where I was wrong For you are the answer You are the way and the truth and the life
Here we are broken in two Here we stand, all our hope in you God of all the universe You sent us one who healed us where we hurt And in the gathering you flow your peace and love To make us one people One holy song Make us one people under the sun Unity we’re praying for Some stand for peace but live a family war So reconcile with God and man Women, child our creator’s plan And in the gathering the holy work is done Sweet communion, unconditional This reunion, forgiveness made us whole Real connection, harmony and home This restoration, you reunite the souls And in the gathering the healing has begun
Who do you say that I am? Am I the One or just a man? What does your heart say is true? How does your mind think it through? Is there peace in what you do? Are you the breath inside of me? Are you the light when I can’t see? I’m on this road to find what’s true Is my destination you? If you’re still you will hear The Spirit’s voice in your ear The storm will pass, the sky will clear Are you the voice inside my heart Telling me that I’m all right? Are you the blood inside these veins Flowing again and again? Are you Messiah Holy One? The promise of what was to come Are you the future and the past? Tell me I’m home at last
Do you know how it feels To bow your head and kneel And feel you connected With something that’s real? Do you know what I’m saying When I say that some people are praying To a God in Heaven But I wonder if they’re listening? Gotta live it, I, I, I gotta live it! You say there is a God who loves the world If you believe it say I, I, I gotta live it! And let it show all around the world I hear people saying To all the people praying Come down to the valley Don’t stay up on the mountain praying Live it and walk it and breathe it and talk it and dream it Receive it, you say that you believe it
Well you say your generation Learnt from all the past mistakes And you build your reputation On your passion to make them pay And you sing your revolution In the message of a song And though you try so hard to change them If they can’t hear the words They can’t sing along All my generation let’s be the ones who see It takes one generation to bend on one knee And take responsibility Or we’re just going to see it go on and on Well the words need re-definition And our minds they need to change We got to face the recognition If you want things to change You can’t stay the same And the sons they need to father In a way they did not receive And the word of this revolution Is to give and not wait to receive
I’m trying to find my place in this great big world Well, I’m trying to find some grace and some loving arms Well, I looked inside my heart and I found a vacant lot Can you tell me where to go when this love runs out? ‘Cause I’m digging in the dirt trying to fill this hole Put my spirit on a billboard saying Save my soul You got to save my soul Tell me where do I turn And what do I know? And who will save my soul? Gurus on the chat show saying “here is life” Movie stars and heroes say “I found myself” But we got to find each other before our time runs out Well I read the daily news and another war broke out I’m scratching on the wall like an angry mole Sent my letter to the paper saying Save my soul
I don’t know my name apart from you Away from you my first love I can’t find my way without you close Without you near to me All the universe it calls your name And speaks of you my God And so I run (into your arms) For you are love (so hold me) All I can do is run into your arms of love Well I tried to be apart from you Away from you my first love And I lost my way without you close Without you near to me All the universe without your name Is so alone my God
Your love is everything to me Your love is everything to me Im so glad you found me Im so glad I found You Im so glad I listened to You Whisper in my ear You told me that you loved me You told me I was lovely You overlooked the ugly And you washed away my fear.
Your love is everything to me, to me Its all I want And its all I have And its all I see And its all I needYour love defines me Builds and refines me Your love is pure and real And holy holy
