We live in a dream if we really think ev'rything's alright,

Feel the breath of God and the pow'r it brings.
It's time to come together, you and I
And share the love of Jesus Christ.

We can make a diff'rence, we can make a change.

Shine on through the rain.

Do you know a man who's needin' a hand?
Don't ya walk on by, oh.
A sister is sad, lost all that she had.
We gotta take the time, oh.
Look around your world, it will testify.
Some have empty hearts, some have hungry eyes.
God can heal the suff'ring through our hands.
Find compassion, take a stand.

We can make a diff'rence, we can make a change.
We can make the world a better place.
We can make a diff'rence, we can make a change.
We can make the sun shine through the rain,
Shine on through the rain.

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Oh, yeah.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Oh, yeah.

Do you feel you've been disowned,
Left outside in the cold and without a home?
Do you think that no one cares
That you're lost and alone and without a prayer?
Don't give into the lie that there's no one you can turn to.
Don't lose heart, there is hope,
There is someone who will never desert you, oh.

If this world is a lonely place for you,
Fall into the arms of love.
If this world is a lonely place for you,
There's a God who you can trust,
Who'll comfort you and lift you up.

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Oh, yeah.
Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Oh, yeah.

Are you looking for a friend
Who will stand by your side to the very end?
Someone who is always true to His word,
Be assured He won't turn from you.
Put your faith in the One who will never let you down.
He has proven His love.
Open up to all He has for you now, oh.

If this world is a lonely place for you,
Fall into the arms of love.
If this world is a lonely place for you,
There's a God who you can trust,
Who'll comfort you and lift you up.

He hears your cry, He sees your tears,
He knows your pain and all your fears.
He waits for you with open arms,
He longs to live inside your heart.
You'll never be alone again.

If this world is a lonely place for you,
Fall into the arms of love.
If this world is a lonely place for you,
There's a God who you can trust,
Who'll comfort you and lift you up.

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na.
Oh, yeah.

3.Un Lugar Celestial(A Heavenly Place)

Written:Mark Heimermann, Regie Hamm, Bob Farrell, David
Velasquez

Sometimes I realize, when I gaze in the skies,
This spinning world is not my home.
A place of mystery, a land of destiny
Is where I know one day I'll go.
I dream of beauty I have never seen.
I know the arms of heaven wait for me
And yet I feel its sweetness here and now
In this live on earth I have found.

Just a little bit of heaven sent from up above.
Where the presence of my Father holds me in His love.

When all my skies are gray, I simply steal away
Into my secret hiding place.
When hearts are cold as ice, the breath of paradise
Blows warm and gentle on my face.
I know I need my time alone with Him,
His healing waters flowing deep within.
Don't have to wish upon a distant star,
'Cause the light of love fills my heart.

Just a little bit of heaven sent from up above.
Where the presence of my Father holds me in His love.

Just a little bit of heaven sent from up above.
Where the presence of my Father holds me in His love.
Just a little bit of heaven sent from up above.
Where the presence of my Father holds me in His love.


4.Baptize Me

Written:Mark Heimermann, Erik Sundin

In the desert of my shame
I have found myself to blame.
Now I thirst for innocence,
And Your blood is there to quench.
Pour Your life into my soul,
Let the cleansing waters flow,
Make me white as snow.

Hear me as I pray, wash my sins away,
Drown me in Your grace, baptize me.
As my lips confess, fill this emptiness
With Your holiness; baptize me.

Touch my eyes and give me sight.
Father, bathe me in Your light.
At Your feet I'll always be
Until the day Your face I see.
Let Your words consume my heart,
Lead me to the deepest part
And the healing starts.

Hear me as I pray, wash my sins away,
Drown me in Your grace, baptize me.
As my lips confess, fill this emptiness
With Your holiness; baptize me.

Hear me as I pray, (a-ay) wash my sins away, (a-ay)
Drown me in Your grace, baptize me.
As my lips confess, (a-ay) fill this emptiness (a-ay)
With Your holiness; baptize me.

There is a river of life flowing from the throne of God
There is One who came by water and blood.
There is the Spirit who testifies to this.
Anyone who believes in the Son has this testimony in his heart.
Behold the Lamb of God, who washes away the sins of the world
Baptize me.

Hear me as I pray, wash my sins away,
Drown me in Your grace, baptize me.
As my lips confess, fill this emptiness
With Your holiness; baptize me.

Hear me as I pray, (a-ay) wash my sins away, (a-ay)
Drown me in Your grace, baptize me.
As my lips confess, (a-ay) fill this emptiness (a-ay)
With Your holiness; baptize me. (a-ay)

Oh, Hear me as I pray, wash my sins away,
Drown me in Your saving grace,
Baptize me, baptize me, baptize me, baptize me.


5.We Will Overcome

Written:Mark Heimermann, Regie Hamm, Bob Farrell

Ooh, ooh, ooh
Sometimes you're weak and weary,
Feels like your heart is breaking,
Nobody close enough to ease your mind.
Seems like the night is falling,
The darkness has you crawling,
You wonder if you'll ever reach the light.
But you've got to know that the Father's always there by your
side.

We will overcome heartache and sorrow.
We will overcome all the pain in this world.
We will rise above the cares of tomorrow.
We will overcome.

We all get disillusioned
With all of life's confusion.
Sometimes we simply have to walk by faith.
The road may not be easy
But there is hope and healing.
Remember, help is just a prayer away.
So don't be afraid, He will give us all the strength that we
need.

We will overcome heartache and sorrow.
We will overcome all the pain in this world.
We will rise above the cares of tomorrow.
We will overcome.

When we struggle through the hard times,
There's a peace that comes from the Lord.
Just remember, He is faithful,
So believe and trust in Him more.
And don't be afraid, He will give us all the strength that we
need.

We will overcome heartache and sorrow.
We will overcome all the pain in this world.
We will rise above the cares of tomorrow.
We will overcome.

Yes, we will overcome heartache and sorrow.
We will overcome all the pain in this world.
We will rise above the cares of tomorrow.
We will overcome.
We will overcome.
We will overcome.


6.Thief Of Always

Written:Chris Eaton

Before the winter chill has gone,
The springtime rivers rise.
Before the setting sun has disappeared,
The moon is rising high.
And time waits for no man;
Seasons come and go.
In the midst of an ever-changing world,
This one thing I know:

You've got to live every moment
As though it was your last,
Before the thief of always
Steals tomorrow from your grasp.
Before the chance to know His love
Has somehow passed you by,
Let your heart reach out, right here, right now,
For the Lord to touch your life.

Before the trees have shed
Their autumn gold to leave the barest bark,
The frost beneath our feet will sparkle bright,
Like crystals under the sky.
And time waits for no man;
Seasons come and go.
In the midst of an ever-changing world,
This one thing I know:

You've got to live every moment
As though it was your last,
Before the thief of always
Steals tomorrow from your grasp.
Before the chance to know His love
Has somehow passed you by,
Let your heart reach out, right here, right now,
For the Lord to touch your life.

Don't ever doubt that God can lift us high.
Allow the flame of Heaven to be our guide.

Live every moment
As though it was your last,
Before the thief of always
Steals tomorrow from your grasp.
Before the chance to know His love
Has somehow passed you by,
Let your heart reach out, right here, right now,
For the Lord to touch your life. Oh...


7.Shelter

Written:Mark Heimermann, Dann Huff, Wayne Kirkpatrick

How the mind can wander, how the heart can stray.
Suddenly you're on the edge of darkness.
How it makes me ponder, how I'm led away
Down a path that leaves me worn and tarnished.
Battling with the will within,
I have known all along that I should lean on You.
'Cause I'm never strong enough to fight it on my own.

Shelter me, the ways of the world are at my feet.
Shelter me from the desires that deceive.
You are the fortress I need, shelter me.

Well, how the mind can alter, how the heart can change,
When you set your sights on holiness.
And though at times you falter, it's the only way
You can find a place of peace to rest.
Safe from danger surrounding me,
Safe from looming defeat when temptation is at my door,
Lord, I need a harbor, be my soul's retreat.

Shelter me, the ways of the world are at my feet.
Shelter me from the desires that deceive.
You are the fortress I need, shelter me, yeah.

You will never leave me stranded, fending for myself.
When the enemy advances, You are there to help,
Standing in the gap for me whenever I grow weak.
You are my deliverer, the refuge that I seek.
I should lean on You (yeah, oh)
'Cause I'm never strong enough to fight it on my own.

Shelter me, the ways of the world are at my feet.
Shelter me from the desires that deceive.
Oh, You are the fortress I need, shelter me.

Shelter me, shelter me, shelter.


8.Flower In The Rain

Written:Chris Eaton

Aah, la, la, la, ah-la la la la (la la)
Aah, la, la, la, ah-la la la la

You are the one, there's no one else
Who lifts me up and gives me water from the well.
But there's a hole that seems to drain it all away.
And once again I'm left in fear and doubt
When all my strength is crying out.

So, here I am again
Willing to be opened up and broken like a flower in the rain.
Tell me what have I to do to die and then be raised,
To reach beyond the pain like a flower in the rain?

Aah, la, la, la, ah-la la la la

The evil wind, (ooh) it blows a storm to rock my world (aah)
Just when think I'm safe and warm.
I'm led astray far too easily.
It's always hard for me to say I'm wrong,
Until I know I can't go on.

So, here I am again
Willing to be opened up and broken like a flower in the rain.
Tell me what have I to do to die and then be raised,
To reach beyond the pain like a flower in the rain?

Lord, You have searched me and know
When I sleep and when I rise.
You're familiar with all my ways.
Even the darkness will shine
Like the day when You look into my heart.

So, here I am again
Willing to be opened up and broken like a flower in the rain.
Tell me what have I to do to die and then be raised,
To reach beyond the pain like a flower in the rain,
Like a flower in the rain?


9.On My Knees

Written:David Mullen, Nicole Coleman-Mullen, Michael Ochs

There are days when I feel
The best of me is ready to begin.
Then there're days when I feel
I'm letting go and soaring on the wind.
'Cause I've learned in laughter or in pain
How to survive.

I get on my knees, I get on my knees;
There I am before the love that changes me.
See I don't know how, but there's pow'r
When I'm on my knees.

I can be in a crowd
Or by myself, in almost anywhere
When I feel there's a need
To talk with God; He is Emmanuel.
When I close my eyes no darkness there,
There's only light.

I get on my knees, I get on my knees;
There I am before the love that changes me.
See I don't know how, but there's pow'r
In the blue skies, in the midnight
When I'm on my knees.

I get on my knees, I get on my knees;
There I am before the love that changes me.
See I don't know how, but there's pow'r
When I'm on my oh, when I'm on my,
When I'm on my knees.


10.I Promise

Written:Johnny Ramirez, Jaci Velasquez

Lord, You know my heart
And all my desires
And the secret things I'll never tell.
Lord, You know them well.
Though I may be young,
I see and understand
That at times, like sheep, we go astray
And things get out of hand.

So I promise to be true to You,
To live my life in purity
As unto You, waiting for the day
When I hear You say,
'Here is the one I have created
Just for you.'

Until then, O Lord
I will be content
Knowing that true love will come someday.
It will only come from You.
'Cause I have seen the suffering
That loneliness can cause
When we choose to give our love away
Without a righteous cause.

So I promise to be true to You,
To live my life in purity
As unto You, waiting for the day
When I hear You say,
'Here is the one I have created
Just for you.'
