"BRING HIM HOME"

God on high
Hear my prayer
In my need
You have always been there
He is young
He's afraid
Let him rest
Heaven blessed.
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.
He's like the son I might have known
If God had granted me a son.
The summers die
One by one
How soon they fly
On and on

And I am old
And will be gone.
Bring him peace
Bring him joy
He is young
He is only a boy
You can take
You can give
Let him be
Let him live
If I die
Let me die
Let him live
Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home.

“SOMEONE LIKE YOU” written by Jekyll & Hyde. Performed by Bill Fair

I peer through windows,
Watch life go by,
Dream of tomorrow,
And wonder "why"?

The past is holding me,
Keeping life at bay,
I wander lost in yesterday,
Wanting to fly -
But scared to try.

But if someone like you
Found someone like me,
Then suddenly
Nothing would ever be the same!

My heart would take wing,
And I'd feel so alive -
If someone like you
Found me!

So many secrets
I've longed to share!
All I have needed
Is someone there,

To help me see a world
I've never seen before -
A love to open every door,
To set me free,
So I can soar!

If someone like you
Found someone like me,
Then suddenly
Nothing would ever be the same!

There'd be a new way to live,
A new life to love,
If someone like you
Found me!

Oh, if someone like you
Found someone like me,
Then suddenly
Nothing would ever be the same!

My heart would take wing,
And I'd feel so alive -
If someone like you
Loved me...
Loved me...
Loved me!...

“HALLELUJAH” written by John Stephens and Tobias Gad. Performed by Bill Fair feat. Maggie Salley

Ooh, in the winter's chill
Let the candles light the night up from the windowsills
Ooh, as I draw you near
And we whisper all the sweet sounds only we can hear

On the coldest evening in this December
I hold you in the heat of the glowing embers

Let the world stand still, the church bells ring
Silent night as the angels sing
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Let the magic warm the moonlit air
Hear the choirs join in singing everywherе
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Ooh, let thеre be peace on earth
Let the lonely join together, let them know their worth
Ooh, let the children know
There's a brighter day ahead (let's hold on to hope)

And on the coldest evening in this December
Let us pray the spirit of love will linger

Oh, let the world stand still, the church bells ring
Silent night as the angels sing
Hallelujah (Hallelujah), Hallelujah
Let the magic warm the moonlit air
Hear the choirs join in singing everywhere
Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Glory, glory, glory I'm so glad to have you here
And may this Christmas moment last for years

Let the world stand still, the church bells ring
Silent night as the angels sing
Hallelujah (Hallelujah), Hallelujah
Let the magic warm the moonlit air
Hear the choirs join in singing everywhere
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah

Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

“COMFORT YE” Handel’s New Young Messiah

Comfort ye

Comfort ye my people

Comfort ye Comfort ye my people

Saith your God Saith your God

Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem

Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem

And cry unto her

That her warfare

Her warfare is accomplished

That her iniquity is pardoned

That her iniquity is pardoned

“AVE MARIA” Original words and music by Charles Gounod and Johann Sebastian Bach

Ave Maria

Gratia plena

Dominus tecum

Benedicta tu in mulieribus

Et benedictus fructus ventres

Tui Jesus

Sancta Maria, Sancta Maria

Maria

Ora pro nobis

Nobis peccatoribus

Nunc et in hora, in hora

Mortis nostrae

Amen, Amen

“COME WHAT MAY” Original words and music by David Baerwald and Kevin Gilbert

Never knew I could feel like this
Like I'd never seen the sky before
I want to vanish inside your kiss
Every day I love you more and more

Listen to my heart
Can you hear it sing
Telling me to give you everything
Seasons may change
Winter to spring
But I love you
Until the end of time

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you
Until my dying day

Suddenly the world seems such a perfect place
Suddenly it moves with such a perfect grace
Suddenly my life doesn't seem such a waste
It all revolves around you

And there's no mountain too high
No river too wide
Sing out this song and I'll be there by your side
Storm clouds may gather
And stars may collide
But I love you
I love you
Until the end of time

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you
Until my dying day

Come what may
Come what may
I will love you

I love you

"UNDIVIDED"

We draw our lines, we wave our signs

Longing to be recognized

We hold on tight, to the left or right

Demanding to be recognized.

No race or creed deserves less dignity,

We're sacred by design.

Each human heart imprinted by one God,

There's common ground.

Undivided, undivided

The same inside, reflecting the Divine

Undivided, we are images of God.

The path to unity demands a new decree,

To love instead of judge.

Give us eyes to see each other's sanctity,

It's time we realized . . . 

No race or creed deserves less dignity,

We're sacred by design.

Each human heart imprinted by one God,

There's common ground.

Undivided, undivided

The same inside, reflecting the Divine Undivided, we are images of God.

Love is, love is, love's the only way to get us through,

Love is, love is, love's the only way no matter who.

Love is . . . 

No race or creed . . . 

Undivided . . .

"BE STILL, MY SOUL"

Be still my soul, the Lord is on thy side,

Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain.

Leave to thy God to order and provide,

In every change He faithful will remain.

Be still my soul, thy best, thy heavenly friend,

Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

Be still my soul thy God doth undertake

To guide the future as He has the past.

Thy hope thy confidence let nothing shake.

All now mysterious shall be bright at last.

Be still my soul, the waves and winds still know

His voice who ruled them while He dwelt below.

Be still my soul the hour is hastening on

When we shall be forever with the Lord.

When disappointment, grief and fear are gone.

Sorrow forgot, loves purest joys restored.

Be still my soul, when change and tears are past.

All safe and blessed we shall meet at last."

Peace is falling from the sky.

Trouble here below, ain’t no big surprise you know He said it would be so.

So, don’t you give up hope.  There’s more for you I know He promised it was so.

Like a white dove breaks the clouds and falls on us,

Like the Son He breaks the clouds and falls on us.

Peace is falling from the sky.

Trouble comes and goes, get through it then you’ll know the whole story’s not been told.

So don’t you give up hope.  There’s more for you I know, He promised it was so.

[Rap] 

Trouble comes and goes but I feel peace falling, pushing me to stand like I'm 10 feet tall and 

Battles all around so I plant on solid ground when I hear a trumpet sounding to get me all in.

I know you would never lead me anywhere with intentions to leave me.

Trade my steps for Your steps ‘til I follow Your path and you make it look easy. 

But the truth is it ain't though when they throw shade I'm ignoring the paint coat,

With this armor on as I'm modeling your form in the eye of every storm pressing on in my rain coat.

You promised You would never leave me lonely, 

So my peace comes from You and You only. 

Peace is falling from the sky.

"BRIGHTER"

There's a brand new sun hanging in the sky today, it's been there every morning. But when I pulled back the curtain and opened up the shade, it hit me without warning.

Maybe it's my point of view, but everything has changed since I met you.

Now life is sparkling and love is glistening, I'm finding everything looks a whole lot brighter. Not a day goes by without a clear blue sky, and you're the reason why. Things look a whole light brighter.

The clouds of the past do their best to block the sun, casting shadows. But the light of your love makes the darkness turn and run, Now I stand in its glow.

It's like nothing I've ever seen, it's like the sun is following me.

Now life is sparkling and love is glistening, I'm finding everything looks a whole lot brighter. Not a day goes by without a clear blue sky, and you're the reason why. Things look a whole light brighter.

"BRIGHT LIGHTS, BIG CITY"

Stepping out on streets made of gold, Reaching out, taking your hand to hold, What will it be like?

Hear the sound, voices in holy harmony, Colors surround me, beauty my eyes have never seen, Wheat will it be like, what will it be like?

Bright lights, big city, Flying high, knowing you're with me, My heart's beating faster, looking in your eyes, I've never been so alive, Bright lights, big city.

Looking out on a world I never dreamed, Singing loud melodies to the King, That's what it will be like, That's what it will be like.

(Under those) Bright lights, (Living in the) big city, Feels so right, knowing you're with me. My heart's beating faster, feel like I could fly, I've never been so alive, Bright lights, big city.

No more night, no more pain, No more tears, no more shame, No more doubting what my eyes can see, No more fighting, only peace. No more sin, no more chains, No more lies, no more blame, No more lonely, I'm finally home, No more hate, only love. You are loved...

(Under those) Bright lights, (Living in the) big city. Flying high, knowing you're with me, My heart's beating faster, looking in your eyes, I've never been so alive. Bright lights, big city.

No more night, no more pain, No more lies, no more blame, No more lonely, finally home, No more, no more. Only love. No more hate, only love.

"TALK TO YOU"

Can't call you on the phone, Can't tweet cuz you're not on, Gotta find a way to get through.

Email but no reply, Can't text you know but I, Gotta find a way to get you, I need to talk to you.

Our Father which art in Heaven, Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in Heaven.

Wish I could meet you at my place, See you face to face, Gotta help me make a choice.

Wish I could hear you say my name, Tell me it's ok, God I need to hear your voice. I need to talk to you.

Give us this day our daily bread, And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors, And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

"SWEET SURRENDER"

Father, we are silenced by the darkness on this cold and winding road. This burden of fear that we carry has become too much to hold. Lift us up on wings of comfort, for we need you to hold us through the night.

Sweet surrender, we lay our lives in your hands. Do with them as you will our Father, but hold us still through the night.

Guard our lives from things we can't see, terrors that have torn us from the light. Be our fortress and our counselor, our shelter in this holy fight. Fill us up with words of comfort, for we need you to lead us through the dark.

Sweet surrender, we lay our lives in your hands. Do with them as you will our Father, but hold us still through the night.

We lift our eyes to you.

"STILL"

Is it over yet? Can I finally breathe? Is it tomorrow yet, come to rescue me?

Bright colors fade to gray, Dark clouds, another day, Hanging by a thread, Is it over yet?

When the world's gone crazy and I can't break through, When the fire is faded, still there's you. When my heart is empty and I can't go on, There's a reason to be...still there's you.

There's a plan I know, Answers time will show, Waiting for the light, I know it's gonna be alright.

Show me a life bigger than this, where things make sense, Where there is peace. When the world's gone crazy...
