Dreams within the still of night
On wings of hope take flight inside of me There upon some distant shore We want for nothing more than what will be And you and I, here we are I wonder as we come this far... If I could only read your mind Tell me the answer I would find Do you dream of me? And when you're smiling in your sleep Beyond the promises we keep Do you dream of me? Love has found a magic space A deep and hidden place where time stands still Now I hold you in my arms You know you hold my heart and always will And you and I, here we are It's a wonder that we've come this far. And after all that we have been through You've leaned on me, I've leaned on you Do you dream on me? And when you're smiling in you're sleep Beyond the promises we keep Do you dream of me? If I could only read your mind Tell me the answer I would find - Do you dream of me? And when you're smiling in your sleep Beyond the promises we keep Do you dream of me? And after all that we've been through You've leaned on me, I've leaned on you. Do you dream of me? |

I remember when you took a stand
With the pearl of wisdom in your hand And a soul of desire You held your own against the world A lion's heart in a little girl So unafraid of the fire But those days don't last Sweet dreams die fast A stumble when you walk on the wire When all your friends Start giving in The flames are burning higher and higher ( ) Don't give up, Andrea Got the whole world at your feet Just keep on - holding on This is where you need to be All the days that you've been spending Spinning while your heart's descending Like a stone in the ocean Sometimes when you think the world is ending It's really just a new beginning The other side of emotion But I've seen your eyes -no compromise When you set your mind on a matter Be strong through the tears And your sight will clear You're gonna get what you're after Don't give up, Andrea Got the whole world at your feet Just keep on - holding on This is where you need to be Don't give up, Andrea Got the whole world at your feet Just keep on - holding on This is where you need to be Don't be surprised when the road divides Just take the one less traveled by Don't give up, Andrea Got the whole world at your feet Just keep on - holding on This is where you need to be Don't give up, Andrea Got the whole world at your feet Just keep on - holding on This is where you need to be Don't give up, Andrea (Andrea) Got the whole world at your feet (I know you're gonna make it) Just keep on - holding on (Andre-a) This is where you need to be-acap |

In the fertile soil of you Can't believe the hopes he's granted Means a chapter in your life is through But we'll keep you close as always It won't even seem you've gone 'Cause our hearts in big and small ways Will keep the love that keeps us strong : And friends are friends forever If the Lord's the Lord of them And a friend will not say "Never" 'Cause the welcome will not end Though it's hard to let you go In the Father's hands we know That a lifetime's not too long To live as friends With the faith and love God's given Springing from the hope we know We will pray the joy you'll live in Is the strength that now you show But we'll keep you close as always It won't even seem you've gone 'Cause our hearts in big and small ways Will keep the love that keeps us strong |

She asked him for forever
And a promise that would last He said, "Babe, you know I love you But I can't commit to that" She said, "Love isn't love 'Till you give it away" A father lived in silence Saw his son become a man There was a distance felt between them 'Cause he could not understand That love isn't love 'Till you give it away You gotta give it away * As we live Moving side by side May we learn to give Learn to sacrifice We can entertain compassion For a world in need of care But the road of good intentions Doesn't lead to anywhere 'Cause love isn't love 'Till you give it away You gotta give it away * Repeat Love is like a river Flowing down from the giver of life We drink from the water And our thirst is no longer denied You gotta give it away * Repeat There was a man who walked on water He came to set the people free He was the ultimate example Of what love can truly be 'Cause his love was his life And he gave it away You gotta give it away * Repeat (2X) |

I was faithless, strutting blind Through the valley of the lost So now you find it rather strange When you hear me claim the name Of the one who bears the cross... and I say... : I believe in You now A new light is showing me how I used to walk in the shadows of doubt But I believe in you now Will there ever come a day When you follow in the way Of the truth that sets you free? To where the thunder of a voice And the echo of a choice Will bring you to your knees No longer running through the night A conversion to the light Giving way to disbelief... and you say... |

And there he stood - a hearty smile You could hear his voice ringing out for a country mile And he could place your mind at ease With his tenderness and a heart That aimed to please A pauper's hands - a farmer's clothes Just a preacher man we called Kentucky rose He worked the soul like he worked the land He spoke in ways that anyone could understand Simple words of simple faith And when it came to love He would go out of his way A helping hand A soothing chat And he practiced what he preached - imagine that And as far as kindness goes There was none compared to old Kentucky rose Evening stroll 'cross Shyler's That's when he saw the boy Trapped below that rocky ridge He knew the danger he would face But it's as if he saved the child Only to take his place For on that ridge of stone and ice Kentucky met his maker in a sacrifice Why he's gone God only knows Maybe for the company of his Kentucky rose So peaceful in his Sunday best He was buried on a hill and laid to rest When people heard they came in droves To say their last good-byes to sweet Kentucky rose Now, on that hill One flower grows They say it's the spirit of Kentucky rose... |

Smith Brother, haven't you noticed There's a war on the soul of man Hey there, sister The world is reaching It could use a helping hand So come on No dues are needed Just a kind heart will be enough There's a hunger But you can feed it Sign the card and join the club Bridge We are drawing from an ancient solution We're embarking on a new regime We are calling for a new revolution Be part of the parade Get on the Love Crusade Chorus: Na na na na Na na na na na Na na na na na na na na Na na na na Na na na na na Na na na na na na na na Jesus said love your neighbor Like you would love yourself Get together Do Him a favor Give your love to someone else Bridge II Just a little sets the wheels in motion A little more and we could change the world You can shine a light if you have the notion So get out of the shade Get on the Love Crusade Chorus Rap: Come on everyone There's a lot that can be done A little love can go a long, long way So rise to the occasion Of a radical invasion (Hey) Don't let the world go down in flames Fight the fire with a fire Push it to the limit And be a renegade Light a fuse-make a spark Try to penetrate a heart There's a burning need to fill the world with love Love is kind, love is sound It makes the world go round So it keep it turning There could never be enough Hatred'll spoil the feast That's the nature of the beast So don't ever let your heart be swayed Draw the sword, slay the dragon Get on the bandwagon And be a fighter on the Love Crusade Bridge I Chorus |

Sometimes I feel like this world
Is just one big, gigantic merry-go-round You gotta hold on tight Or you get hurled thru the air Yea, life is a 3 ring circus With clowns and freaks and camels and such And you never know when you might be Attacked by the bears : Give me love, give me love Love me good Sometimes I feel like I'm afraid of my own shadow and then Sometimes I can feel as bold as Genghis Khan But I could never live in a yurt On a diet of Mongolian barbecue I conquer the world for a moment Then the moment is gone Let us take a moment now to bow our heads and pray If only to give thanks for making it thru another day Sometimes I wish I was in a movie Or some 70s TV thing Where everything gets neatly wrapped by the end of the show Yea, but this ain't Hollywood And this sure ain't the Brady Bunch How this plot's gonna all pan out I don't really know |

If I could I would tell you why
The first time I saw her I could touch the sky I turned to stone...and I could not speak She had the ability to make me weak Always wishing... always hoping That she'll get the message from the Bottom of my heart Let's together...share forever It's just a matter of time I had to wait and just let her breathe That's never been easy for a man to see She moved slow... and she took her time She kept me guessing what was on her mind It's just a matter of time Let's forever...be together It's just a matter of time It's just a matter of time |

Another question in me
One for the powers that be It's got me thrown And so I put on my poker face And try to figure it out This undeniable doubt A common occurrence Feeling so out of place Guarded and cynical now Can't help but wondering how My heart evolved into A rock beating inside of me So I reel Such a stoic ordeal Where's that feeling that I don't feel : There was a boy who had the faith to move a mountain And like a child he would believe without a reason Without a trace, he disappeared into the void and I've been searchin' for that missing person Under a lavender moon So many thoughts consume me Who dimmed that glowing light That once burned so bright in me Is this a radical phase A problematical age That keeps me running From all that I used to be Is there a way to return Is there a way to unlearn That carnal knowledge That's chipping away at my soul I've been gone too long Will I ever find my way home He used to want to try to walk the straight and narrow He had a fire and he could feel it in the marrow It's been a long time and I haven't seen him lately but I've been searchin' for that missing person |

I have been unfaithful
I have been unworthy I have been unrighteous And I have been unmerciful I have been unreachable I have been unteachable I have been unwilling And I have been undesirable And sometimes I have been unwise I've been undone by what I'm unsure of But because of you And all that you went through I know that I have never been unloved I have been unbroken I have been unmended I have been uneasy And I've been unapproachable I've been unemotional I've been unexceptional I've been undecided And I have been unqualified Unaware--I have been unfair I've been unfit for blessings from above But even I can see The sacrifice You made for me To show that I have never been unloved It's because of you And all that you went through I know that I have never been unloved |

In the passion your heart is abused
He is pushing you, you have to choose Oh, Rebecca, love is never Easy anymore Oh, Rebecca, so afraid of Losing what is yours ( ) Are you giving in to the pressure Holding you again, now he tells you What it takes to be in love He believes you're old enough But how you gonna feel tomorrow When the day reveals What you believed was for the sake of love Don't you think you're old enough to know You're a breed of few and far between Holding on to your romantic dream Oh, Rebecca, love is patient Love would understand Oh, Rebecca, your decision Is your only chance ( ) Oh, Rebecca don't confuse what love is With what some say love should be Should be... |

Pull all your hair up
Dab on the make-up Trying hard to look so pristine Like a face in a magazine Those fancy dressers and Media pressure Have got you feeling so plain and small If you don't look like a paper doll In a world where the goal is To be like the Joneses It's guaranteed to drive you wild Keeping up with the latest style Gaze in the mirror You want the glamour And the grace of a movie star But I like you the way you are You are the only one I'm dreaming of 'Cause baby don't you know that I love ( ) You, Girl And you don't have to be picture perfect To be in my world Girl You don't have to be picture perfect To fit the frame You're tender, you're tactful Girl, you're a natural You possess a heart that's true That's what I like about you One in a million Yea, that's a given There's a beauty inside of you And it shows on the outside, too No competition, you're way in the lead A baby, don't you know that I need...

The wind is moving
But I am standing still A life of pages Waiting to be filled A heart that's hopeful A head that's full of dreams But this becoming Is harder than it seems Feels like I'm CHORUS: Looking for a reason Roaming through the night to find My place in this world My place in this world Not a lot to lean on I need Your light to help me find My place in this world My place in this world If there are millions Down on their knees Among the many Can you still hear me? Hear me asking Where do I belong? Is there a vision That I can call my own? Show me I'm REPEAT CHORUS |

Here is where the road divides
Here is where we realize The sculpting of the Father's great design Thru' time you've been a friend to me But time is now the enemy I wish we didn't have to say goodbye But I know the road He chose for me Is not the road he chose for you So as we chase the dreams we're after ( ) Pray for me and I'll pray for you Pray that we will keep the common ground Won't you pray for me and I'll pray for you And one day love will bring us back around again Painted on our tapestry We see the way it has to be Weaving thru' the laughter and the tears But love will be the tie that binds us To the time we leave behind us Memories will be our souvenirs And I know that thru' it all The hardest part of love is letting go But there's a greater love that holds us ( ) |

A Friday night affair
Out in the city heat Always a party there Along the sordid street And it was guaranteed The place to be was Rocketown The drinks were two for one Inside the crowded bars The girls would make their run Down on the boulevard It was the idol place We lived the ways of Rocketown Hang around by the street light In the heart of the night life There came a certain man A stranger to the crowd We didn't understand What he was all about He walked a different pace So out of place in Rocketown They made a fool of him They teased him when he's speak But when they knocked him down He turned the other cheek He told me I could find A life outside of Rocketown Hang around by the street light In the heart of the night life ( ) What was his mission Where was he going Why was his heart light always glowing All I was missing He stood there holding What was his secret Could I know it Some didn't like him near Some laughed and turned away But me, I longed to hear All that he had to say He had a peace of mind I couldn't find in Rocketown And when I reached down inside me I could feel the emptiness ( ) He said it's in the heart This change that comes to be Now he had done his part The rest was up to me As we were standing there He said a prayer for Rocketown As we were standing there He said a prayer for Rocketown He walked off silently And prayed for me And Rocketown... |

Young man up on the hillside
Teaching new ways Each word winning them over Each heart a kindled flame Old men watch from the outside Guarding their prey Threatened by the voice of the paragon Leading their lambs away Leading them far away : Nobody knew His secret ambition Nobody knew His claim to fame He broke the old rules steeped in tradition He tore the holy veil away Questioning those in powerful position Running to those who called His name But nobody knew His secret ambition Was to give His life away His rage shaking the temple His word to the wise His hand healing on the seventh day His love wearing no disguise Some say, "Death to the radical He's way out of line." Some say, "Praise be the miracle God sends a blessed sign. A blessed sign for troubled times." |

(chorus in Lugandan)
Kimu nkimaanyi Buli muntu alina ensiigo Omutima gwo gukulung 'aamye Buli muntu alina ensiigo Some people quietly reveal In the manner of the meek Some people shout the way they feel To a radical degree Some people sing it to express While others hear another call Some people speak with subtleness Some don't rely on words at all But let me tell you 'bout... (chorus) One thing I know Everybody's got a seed to sow Let your heart of hearts Take you down the road Everybody's got a seed to sow We all are pieces of the whole With different feelings to evoke Giving distinction to the role Different players-different strokes But let me tell you 'bout... (chorus) Some people walk Some people race Some people vary in their pace But God can use what you can give Within the mystery of His ways Don't underestimate... (chorus) Kimu nkimaanyi Buli muntu alina ensiigo Omutima gwo Gukulung 'aamye Buli muntu alina ensiigo |

A silent call from a distant land
Crying for a helping hand, so How long will it go on? Ignorance and vanity Supercede humanity, so How long it will go on? I want to know how long will it go on? We can't wait any longer They're crying out, doesn't it matter We can't wait any longer No, no. Too long in a slumber Shake it up,wake it up now. We can't wait any longer. No, no. Another child is laid to rest Another day of hopelessnes, so How long it will go on? And every day we're on the fence brings Another fatal consequence, so How long will it go on? I want to know, how long will it go on? Yuko awezayo kusikia kilio chetu? (Can somebody hear us crying out?) Twaomba msaada wenu (Somebody help us) Aweko mwenye kuttuoka (Somebody save us) Aweko mwenye kutupa uhuru (Somebody free us) |

from Michael W. Smith - Yo Me Rindo A El [single] (2009)
All to Jesus I surrender,
All to Him I freely give. I will ever love and trust Him, In His presence daily live. I surrender all, I surrender all. All to Thee, my blessed Saviour, I surrender all. All to Jesus I surrender, Humbly at His feet I bow. Worldly pleasures all forsaken, Take me, Jesus, take me now. All to Jesus I surrender, Lord, I give myself to Thee. Fill me with Thy love and power, Let Thy blessing fall on me. All to Jesus I surrender, Now I feel the sacred flame. O the joy of full salvation, Glory, glory to His name. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ - Todo A Cristo Yo Me Rindo Todo a Cristo yo me rindo, Con el fin de serle fiel. Para siempre quiero amarle, Y agradarle solo a El. Yo me rindo a El, Yo me rindo a El. Todo a Cristo yo me entrego, Quiero serle fiel. Todo a Cristo yo me rindo, A sus pies postrado estoy. Los placeres he dejado, Y le sigo desde hoy. Todo a Cristo yo me rindo, Si, de todo corazon. Yo le entrego alma y cuerpo, Busco hoy su santa uncion. Todo a Cristo yo me rindo, Siento el fuego de su amor. ¡Oh, que gozo hay en mi alma! Gloria, gloria a mi Senor |
