| 01. They Walk On |
 |
 |
There is a lady at the jungle’s edge
She’s got a toddler in tow and a calico dress
She thinks of the father her child will never know
And if she takes this path it just might kill them both
But she smiles with a calm and holds her head high
She walks on. She walks on. She walks on with Heaven in sight
Beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news
And this is for the ones who have given up their lives
And traveled far from home with Heaven in view
They walk on
Counting all things loss
They walk on
Despite the cost
There is an old man in the depths of Nepal
He’s got shackles on his feet, and he’s chained to a wall
They let him go, but they warn him well
That if he keeps on speaking he will be back in this cell
But with a strength in his jaw and a glint in his eye
He walks on. He walks on. He walks on with Heaven in sight
There is a traveler with luggage that’s worn
And he holds in his hand a photo, smudged and torn
He takes just a moment to think of those left behind
Then he closes his eyes as the plane starts to climb
There’s a peace in his heart and a purpose inside
He walks on. He walks on. He walks on with Heaven in sight

02. I Know |
 |
 |
When I look around this troubled land
I don’t always see your plan
So I go out to search the stars
To find the answer to where You are
But in the silence I start to believe
That there’s much more than the eye can see
I know the story’s not through
I know You make all things new
I know things aren’t as they seem
I know You’re working behind the scenes
I know whether I live or I die
I know I’ll walk by faith and not sight
Sometimes I wonder why You take so long
To come and fix all this wrong
But I know it’s because You’re kind
You don’t want anyone left behind
So I remember Your mercy and love
That You pour down on us from above
There are days when I start to doubt
Life gets too hard and I can’t figure it out
But this earth is no paradise
It is a battle of wrong and right
And in the midst I will trust in You
Cause every word that You say is true
There’s a better place
Where evil’s erased
There’s no death or pain
And beauty reigns
|
| 03. Send Me |
 |
 |
Lord I want to be used by You
I’m not that much, but I know the truth
I do the things that I don’t want and don’t things I do
But I still want to be used by You
I want to make a difference for You
For Your Kingdom
For Your Glory
For the sake of Your Name
Send me, here I am
So many people all across the lands
From nation to nation – Africa to Thailand
Living in the darkness yet searching for light
I want to be a part of proclaiming Your life
And if I don’t speak the rocks will cry out
You say if I lose my life for You I’ll find it
Well here it is, please do something with it
Not one who calls upon You will be turned away
But how can they call You if they don’t know Your name
So someone’s got to go to them in the forgotten places
|
| 04. Lay It Down |
 |
 |
Lord I know You want me to forgive
But I don’t think that You know what they did
And I know You say that vengeance is Yours
But couldn’t I just borrow it for a single moment Lord
Oh God, they tore my heart in two
And I don’t know what to do
Lord I know you say to turn the other cheek
But both of mine are bruised and I am feeling so weak
7x70 is what You say we should take
But I think I’m on 71 and I’m about to break
Oh God I’m calling out to You
And I don’t know what to do
Come my child, lay your burdens down
I’ve seen your tears and the pain that surrounds you
You’ll never understand why they did this to you
Maybe they’re just flawed they’re human too
So lay it down, come let it go
And I will give you a new future and a hope
Lay it down
Lord I know You say to love your enemies
But I don’t think You know it’s harder than it seems
And I know You say to bless those who curse
But couldn’t I pray later and repay them first
Oh God, I don’t think I’ll make it through
And I don’t know what to do
Come on and lay it down, leave the past behind
Come and let it go away from your mind
Release them from your heart and set them free
Forgive them as you have been forgiven by Me
|
| 05. Come to Me |
 |
 |
I was there the day you born
And I’ve been planning for a million years
Who you would be and that hope in your soul
I created you with joy and strength
I had a plan from the very beginning
Of the impact you would have on this world
Can you feel the mission that I have placed in you
Can you feel the calling for so much more
Come to me and find who you are
Find the reason I’ve brought you this far
Follow me and find your adventure
Come find the meaning I hid in your heart
Come to Me
Come and See
Who you are
But time has passed and you’ve gotten older
You lost your faith, your hopes, and your dreams
You’ve come to think this is all that life offers
But it’s not too late to reclaim your belief
So wake up, come out of your slumber
I am calling you to open your eyes
Take my hand and enter your future
This is your time, come on arise
All you have to do is take that first step
Just come and talk and be honest with me
I already know your failures and heartbreaks
Don’t be afraid, I can set you free
I know it takes a whole lot of courage
To take that first big leap of faith
If you lose your life, that’s when you find it
Come on your destiny waits
Yes it’s true, I make all things new. I’m just waiting for you.

| 06. Arise |
 |
 |
Listen, my Beloved - behold He is coming
Climbing on the mountains, leaping on the hills
My love is like a gazelle or a young stag
He is looking through our windows
Peering into our hearts
Arise my darling my beautiful one
Arise my darling and come along
How beautiful you are, how beautiful you are
Arise my darling and come along
Winter is past the rains are over and gone
The flowers have appeared, and the time has arrived
The vine has given forth the fragrance
The fig tree has ripened and
the turtledove’s been heard in our land
Place me like a seal over your heart
Like a seal upon your arm
For love is as strong as the grip of death
Water cannot quench love
Nor rivers overflow the flame
|
| 07. Throne of a King |
 |
 |
O Lord Almighty God
All the angels bow
You are enrobed in majesty
Over all You are crowned
Who am I, that You’ld notice my call
Who am I, so weak and so small
Who am I, to stand at the throne
Of a king
You created everything
Ice, wind, and thunderbolts
A cloud by day and fire by night
You can make mountains smoke
You are the first and the last
Worthy is the lamb
Who was, and is, and is to come
You hold death and life in your hand
Not a sparrow shall fall without You knowing all
Your thoughts towards me are more than the sands in the sea
You understand all my ways, and ordain the length of my days
You know when I sit or I stand, my name is engraved in Your hand
|
| 08. What if it's True |
 |
 |
I heard a rumor that says there’s a God
Who whispers our names
And knows how we feel and bottles our tears
And wants us to seek His face
What if it’s true?
What if there’s really a God waiting for you
To show you the depths of His love and His purpose for you
What if it’s true?
What if it’s true?
Some people say that He calls us by name
And numbers the hairs on our head
That our lives on this earth are much more than chance
There’s meaning in every breath
I heard a rumor about miracles
And angels on earth in disguise
And a place beyond life where there’s no more tears
We get to see God with our eyes
What if it is true?
What would you do?
What if it is true?
How would that change your view?
|
| 09. Who Else |
 |
 |
Oh my Lord I trust in You
That’s what makes it hurt so bad
Why did You let this happen to me
Couldn’t You have held it back
Now I no longer know what to think
Or what to believe
Maybe its time to just walk away
Maybe it’s time to leave
Who else holds words of life
To whom else shall I go
Who else made stars and sand
Who else but You alone
Who else parted the sea
Who else saved my soul
Who else - I’ll shut my mouth now
Who else is my hope
Maybe If I’d just been warned
I’d have been spared this pain
I thought that You and I were close
I thought I had enough faith
Was it You or this fallen world
I just get so confused
I don’t know where to go now
Or if I can turn to You
Though You slay me I will trust in You
Set my face like flint to follow You
I don’t understand but I’ll believe in You
Believe In You
|
| 10. Mercies |
 |
 |
Your mercies are new every morning
You don’t get tired of forgiving me
Oh thank you God for Your mercy
Maybe one day I’ll be set free
Though your stains are as scarlet, I will wash them white as snow
And though they are as crimson, I will make them white as wool
I will cause your righteousness to shine forth as the dawn
Just commit your ways to Me - I did it all at Calvary
And I am faithful to forgive and cleanse your sin
I don’t why I doubt Your love
It’s the one thing I should be sure of
Sometimes it seems too good to be true
My sin and shame borne by You
Sometimes I try to start and pursue
Ways to become worthy of You
While yet a sinner You died for me
I can’t do nothing to earn what’s free
|
| 11. In Heaven |
 |
 |
Have you ever wondered what it will be like
Will we dance with the angels into the night
Will we wear white robes that reflect light
Will we all get sing in the heavenly choir
Will we wear halos and be able to fly
I don’t know what it will be like
But let me quote my friend Beth Rice
She says this is how I hope it will be
Like waking up from the strangest dream
We’ll laugh and remember our time on earth
And wonder how we would have lived differently
Had we known what we know now
Looking down from heaven’s clouds
Have you ever wondered what it will be like
Will Moses and Paul invite us over for wine
Will we be able to eat anything that we want
Will we get to do things we think are fun
Will we get to sleep till 3pm
Or will we never get tired and just hang out with friends
Will I finally find the answers that I seek
Will God tell me that He was proud of me
Will I finally understand all His ways
Will I fall down when I see His face
Will I care more about Him than me
Will I be a lot nicer suddenly
How can it not change my life
to know that one day all this will be left behind
And we’ll be living in the very home of God
|
| 12. As High As |
 |
 |
As high as the heavens are above the earth, so is Your love for me
Just as a father loves His children, so You love me
And Your love is forever and ever to those who fear Thy name
You’ve removed my sin from me, as far as east is from west
Bless the Lord, O my soul
With all that is within me
I will bless His holy name
I will not forget His goodness
He pardons all iniquities
He heals all disease
He redeems my life from the dark pit
He crowns my head with love and compassion
The Lord has established His throne in the heavens
He reigns over all
Bless the Lord all you who serve Him
Bless the Lord O my soul
