Run the risk of being hurt when we throw, like a child, to the pigs, precious pearls
We all have to feel a little rejection as we walk along the open road
But would you prefer a little protection of your deep and fragile soul?
This ship’s for turning, this hearts for burning,
this life’s for learning how to love
This soul’s for hire, an altar on fire, I join with the choir up above
Lend an ear, take the time to understand,
Share the joys, calm the fears with open hands
We all my find a touch of happiness as we open up the door
But if we could shine like stars in the universe,
I believe there’s so much more
This ship’s for turning, this hearts for burning,
this life’s for learning how to love
This soul’s for hire, an altar on fire, my greatest desire is up above
Where your treasure is, well there is your heart,
so set your mind on things above
This ship’s for turning, this hearts for burning,
this life’s for learning how to love
This soul’s for hire, an altar on fire, I join with the choir up above
This ship’s for turning, this hearts for burning,
this life’s for learning how to love
This soul’s for hire, an altar on fire,
my greatest desire is up above, up above

The Sword or The Spirit
03:55
|
|||
|
If you live by the sword, you will certainly die by it too
With the weight of the world on your shoulders
now what would you do?
Would you kill for gold and leave the dead to die in the cold?
Would you live by the sword, would you live by the sword?
Will you live by the sword, the sword or the Spirit?
Will they do unto you just as you would have done to them too?
Cos an eye for an eye would make everyone blind, black and blue
If you wear your heart on your sleeve don’t be surprised if you bleed
If you live by the sword, if you live by the sword?
Will you live by the sword, the sword or the Spirit?
Everyone wants to be free but such a high price liberty
Everyone wants to be free
As we learn to be all we can be and conquer all adversaries
Is anyone really free?
If they live by the sword, if you live by the sword?
Will you live by the sword, the sword or the Spirit?
Live by the Spirit

When men's hearts are hard and they love themselves
and hate their neighbours
When a child abused can be ignored
When the masses starve
while their government recline at the table
Another family made of refugees
'where's the justice?'
where's the justice?'
How the media is more concerned
with the rich and famous
than with the persecution of the church
When a precious soul, is sold for gold into slavery
While the criminals are walking free
Are we too cold to even care
or just consumed with our affairs?
To think of those whose only pray
Night and day, they're asking where
Where's the justice?, Will we cry: 'where's the justice?'
God of justice, send your justice
But soon enough, there'll come a time
A judgement call for every crime
The light will dawn, the Son appear
The darkest clouds of sin will clear
God of justice, will send His justice
God of justice, speed your justice!

Stories and Stones
03:30
|
|||
|
How you remember your trial, A way to mark every mile
A monument to a time, an uphill struggle you climb
Share it with stories and stones, tales of strength in dry bones
In every journey there's hope shared through stories and stones
A sacred place you can go, the pain that caused you to grow
with those you've chosen to share, the joys and sorrows you bear
Share them with stories and stones, tales of strength in dry bones
In every season there's hope shared through stories and stones
Though the memory fades the stone still remains
a lesson the next generation can save
And each time we build on the one laid before
the bigger the structure, the stronger the force
The power of stories and stones that speak to flesh and dry bones
In every journey there's hope, share it with stories and stones
Share with stories and stones, share with stories and stones

Omnipresent
03:51
|
|||
|
I wanna feel you all around - omnipresent God
I wanna see you all around - all as holy ground
And as the elders cast down their crowns
Just as the angels, your throne surround
I wanna look in your eyes of fire
Oh Jesus you are my one desire
To follow you, follow you, want to follow you where you lead
I fall down before you, in awe, adore the only God of glory
And if you came back again tonight
Would you find a bride in whom to delight
Would you see people in love with You
Willing to lay down thier lives as a sacrifice
I want to feel you all around
I want to see you al around

You Can't Stop Me
03:07
|
|||
|
You’ve been holding yourself down far too long
Believe you me, it’s up to you to carry on
You’ve dealt your cards,
you’ve wrote your name in the sand
It’ll wash away when you’re playing someone else’s hand
You can’t stop me from where I’m going
Not now
Don’t look too deep into the picture on your wall
The meaning of the dreaming’s what you make it
– it’s your call
The waves of the water pull you down
Listen to good voices, just wake up and hear the sound
You can’t stop me from where I’m going
Not now

Where's The Summer Gone

Where’s The Summer Gone
Where’s the summer gone? When life was golden.
Where’s the summer gone? To the memories hold on.
Sand in between our toes, taking off our clothes
Starting to feel like summer.
Another lazy day, I love to feel this way
But nothing lasts forever.
‘Till the rain comes down, I wanna have a good time, no rain.
Keep my head in the clouds until the weather man brings me down.
Where’s The Summer Gone
Where’s the summer gone? When life was golden.
Where’s the summer gone? To the memories hold on.
It’s not over, not over, not over for me
Not over, not over, not over for me.

No Beauty In The World
04:51
|
|||
|
We’re lost souls in black holes, living every single day
Never see a beautiful sunrise
So cold, we’d grow old, hard of heart and sad of face
Never see the children laugh or smile
If there was no beauty, If there was no beauty,
If there was no beauty...in the world
Ooh…. no beauty in the world
If just cells and nowt else but chemicals and DNA
Share our genes and pass our memes, no meaning
There would be no beauty, There would be no beauty,
There would be no beauty in the world
Ooh…. no beauty in the world
But I know that my soul is singing every single day
Living in the beautiful Son’s eyes

We All Need A Friend
04:53
|
|||
|
There was a man all alone, he had no son, he had no brother.
There was no end to his toil and his eyes weren’t satisfied, though in riches and in pride.
Two hands are better than one,
they will reap a great reward.
When one falls one will pick him up.
When they lie down they will be warm,
defend together in the wars.
Ooh, we all need a friend,
Ooh, we all need a friend
We all need a friend.
A man may have many companions,
where will they be in times of trouble?
Better to be wounded by a friend than to be kissed by enemies.
Even brothers can deceive.

Give Them Heaven
04:08
|
|||
|
When they put a gun in your hand,
tell them you understand
When they tell you to fight for the cause,
tell them love is your weapon of war
May the goodness you've received
reflect in the life that you lead
When you're tempted to run with the crowd
and your conscience is screaming out loud
When they curse you and spit in your face,
time to show them the meaning of grace
Give them Heaven, don't give them hell,
give them heaven.
When they ask you to walk for a while,
keep on going the extra mile
When they take what they didn't work for,
go ahead and give them some more
May your beauty and your peace
leave a trail in the dust from your feet'

The End Of Faith
04:30
|
|||
|
No more waiting, no need for hope
Questions answered or just forgotten
When temporary becomes eternity
Where love and peace are truly universal
The end of faith, the end of faith, the end of faith
Life's in plaster, who knows what's after?
So kamikaze or fear the reaper
Walking on tightrope, zero or a hero: what you gonna be?
Life is a matrix - so much we never see
The end of faith, the end of faith, the end of faith
When all is seen perfectly and every man is free
What a glorious day, the end of faith, a glorious day
What a glorious day when we finish the race and see you face to face
The end of faith, the end of faith, the end of faith
When all is seen perfectly and every man receives
The end of faith, the end of faith, the end of faith
when all is seen perfectly and every man believes
