1.Wonderful Day

V1
When we first met I have to say
You made me smile
And something about you
Is just sparkling inside
And that's no lie

V2
When I'm with you
I want to let you know
What I can see
There's a colour that only you can show
And that to me, is so easy to see

CH
You gotta know it, It's a wonderful day
In every way, and I hope you can see
That where you go it's, Just a wonderful day
In every way, You are precious to me

V3
Do you know that you make me feel this way
Since I met you
Even when we're apart
I think about the things you do
And that's the truth


2.On The Road

(V1)
Hurting people everywhere it seems
The beating heart of life ripped from our dreams
So we try to mend the seams
We hold on desperately to what we've got
Our sex life, drugs, our friends no matter what
So it seems that love is there, life is here
But it's disappeared

(CH)
On the road that I'm going
On the road that I choose today
There's a river that is flowing
Though the road is long
The currents of hope are strong

(V2)
A man called Jesus Christ once strangely said
That life would surely come if we'd be dead
For that reason He bled
Death is when we give up all we've got
Lay down our guns, let Jesus call the shots
Then I know that love comes in, life begins
It'll never end

(BRIDGE)
I could let it slip
I could let it fall
See it slide away
Say âI don't care at all'
See my world come crashing down
And my dreams trampled on the floor
But my mind's made up
I won't go that way any more

(CH2)
On the road that I'm going
On the road that I choose today (it's a narrow way)
There's a river that is flowing
Though there's a price to pay
You're gonna experience pain either way
Why not turn around, see the power of God surround
Turn around


3.Ode To Joy

And the sun is shining on the hills, on the hills
Where once the cold and bitter frost it froze all life away
And I feel Your Spirit coming close, coming close
And it warms this aching body, and fills me through and through
Oh, I need You
Lord, I want You
Lord, I open my heart to You

Oh Jesus won't You stay with me, stay with me
I long to have You closer still, and feel You by my side
These empty dreams that we chase for, what are they for
I long for us to know our Fathers waiting, waiting for us
Oh, I need You
Lord, I want You
Lord, I open my heart to You

I sing for joy, that You are in my life
And Your love it covers me
And I feel, the rushing of Your life
As Your river it flows all over me again

Lord come close, I need You now
These bitter chords that hold me tight
I let them go to You
yeah....
There's a calling
There's a Saviour coming
And these gates are open wide

It flows all over me
It's falling, falling down all over me


4.You're A Star

Lyricist:Matthew J Chapman, Steve King, Bennett Knowles, Mark Millard,
Chris White

I crash landed all alone
My ship was broken down
When I first saw you
A constellation on your own

The space between us was electric
How you brightened up the sky

You're a star
There will never be one like you are
You're a star
Look at you shine, would you be mine?

Rapidly I start to mend
The broken pieces for my journey to you
Your stellar presence draws me in

I've been waiting for this moment
Nearly time for me to fly

Do you feel the same as me
Or is this just astronomy?
But I got this crazy notion, baby
That maybe you would like to be with me


5.Who Is Mikey Trousers?

Lyricist:Matthew J Chapman, Steve King, Bennett Knowles, Mark Millard,
Chris White

I do not believe that I will ever be
A multi millionaire but I can see
I can be someone from where I am
If I get up and run, get up when

I make mistakes, some heinous
Some of them just make me late

But I will always be Mikey Trousers
He is good enough for me 'cos this is who I am
It's not easy but I'll be the best I can

There are times I wish that I was someone else
The best at everything and not myself
In a world of possibilities
I'll take a chance with me, even though

I make mistakes, some heinous
Some of them just make me late


6.Warm

Lyricist:Matthew J Chapman, Paul Cotton, Steve King, Bennett Knowles,
Mark Millard, Chris White

It is cold here the rain is beating down
Cruel and icy the wind is swirling around
Disappointment is blowing overhead
I am frozen by the words they said

And so you find me
Wandering blindly in this driving rain
Trying to find some way through this pain

Losing feeling I think it's taking hold
I keep on walking but I feel so cold

They say that there's a place
Where it's safe and warm
Shelter from the storm inside
A house upon a hill
Your tempest turn to still
Somewhere on the road ahead

Is it real or is it just a dream?
All I know I left the place I've been

Can you find me
Wandering blindly in this winter storm
Trying to find some way to be warm

They say that there's a place
Where it's safe and warm
Shelter from the storm inside
And hope is waiting there
Sitting in his chair
A burning love to welcome me

A hope for the hopeless
A peace in the storm
A love for the loveless
In winter it can be warm


7.Understand

Lyricist:Steve King, Bennett Knowles, Mark Millard, Chris White

When I was nowhere
You knew where that was
I never lost my way
And You were the cause

When I was no one
Gonna end it right there
You stood behind me
I never knew You cared

You heard my heart break
Felt the pain of my fall
You were there to save me
And waited for my call

I lived without You
Like You were not there
You never gave up on me
I never knew You cared

Now I hear You
Now I see You
Now I understand

I wanted everything
That wasn't nailed down
I wanted happiness
But not You around

You see my weakness
And still You're prepared
To let them nail You down
I never knew You cared

I came to Your arms
From where I was then
Broken, You were crucified
It was for me that You died
You're my pride

Now I hear You
Now I see You


8.Supersonic

Lyricist:Matthew J Chapman, Paul Cotton, Steve King, Mark Millard,
Chris White

There's a sound that's goin' â~round
Something I found it's hit the town
(Marvel music sound)

This is it, I can't contain
Can't remain unchanged the same
(Marvel music sound)

Drilled a channel through my ear
Ripped a hole in the veneer
The sound pounding it is changing me
Can anybody hear?

Supersonic high is taking me away
Signal sensitize to another place

It's a sound that's life to pain
To dryness rain brings dancin'
(Marvel music sound)

Like burning fire within my veins
And suddenly I breathe again
(Marvel music sound)

Something is happening to me
Something is happening to me
The sound surrounding with salvation songs
Expose my deepest need


9.Open

Lyricist:Matthew J Chapman, Steve King, Bennett Knowles, Mark Millard,
Chris White

See you waiting through my window pane
Anticipating all my fears again
Been so long since I unlocked the door
Painful memories I cannot ignore
Where do I begin? Can I let you in?

Open up the door, step inside the hall
And welcome to the place that I call home
I've been scared to show, let anybody know
What's been going on inside for oh, so long

Standing in my living room you see
Deep into the very heart of me
Sacrifice my fear to have you close
This is where I know, I need you most
Where do I begin? It's time to let you in

And now you're here and I know it's all I needed
And I'd like you to stay, it's a brand new day


10.International Mystery Man

Lyricist:Matthew J Chapman, Steve King, Bennett Knowles, Mark Millard,
Chris White

Stranger things they have not been seen
Than what I will relate
I was saved like it was a dream
By someone else, outside the usual state

He's supernatural and unpredictable
But it's a certainty
You don't have to believe, but he rescued me
(Yeah)

And he's come to save us
International Mystery Man
From outer space invade us
With his superhuman plan

I've heard the news on the radio
Of sightings all around
People rescued from their foes
When he appeared, the IMM touched down

One day he's coming to
Offer his help to you
You know we can depend
On the IMM


11.Call My Name

Lyricist:Matthew Chapman, Steve King, Bennett Knowles, Mark Millard,
Chris White

Lord I have failed You every day that I remember
I've brought upon You shame and tarnished Your good name
Lord how I've betrayed You every day that I remember
But You don't seem to care, You just love me standing here

Anyone but You, would walk away
Oh, if they really knew

You call my name
You call my name
You call my name
And I'll never be the same

Nothing I can say, could ever make You turn away
You're constant like the ocean, refreshing like the rain
Lord, I want to take You as my Saviour and my King
You don't ask to much, You just want my everything

Take what I've broken
I leave it all with You and start again

You call my name, I have nothing
You call my name, I can give You
You call my name
And I'll never be the same

You call my name, I have nothing
You call my name, I can give You
You call my name
I can't take this love away

Every single day
I'm carried and I'm taken by the way


12.Beetroot Stain

Lyricist:Paul Cotton, Steve King, Bennett Knowles, Mark Millard, Chris
White

I thought I was a loser
That I wasn't good enough
I could not see how you could care about me
Or how I could deserve your love?

But you, you specialize in comebacks
And over time you've made me see
That even though I may not be perfect
You will not give up on me

Your love, love is like a beetroot stain
That never ever goes away from me
Your love, your love is with me everyday
I know your love is here to stay with me

Things can get a bit confusing
But there's one thing that I know
That you will stay, you really care about me
And you will never let me go
