Give Us Fire!
03:55
|
|||
In a world grown cold / we need a burning fire
We need a burning flame.
In the race of life / well if you want to win
You have to play the game.
CHORUS: Oh give us fire, O give us power
And from the seed will come the flower.
Give us fire! Give us fire! And whatever love requires
Give us fire! Give us fire! Let the flames grow ever higher.
In a world of hate / we need the fire of love
We need to hold it high
In the human race / let's find no one to hate
No one to crucify.
CHORUS
In a night so long / we need a guiding fire
We need a bonfire light
In the deepest dark / if we will keep it lit
We'll see a dawn so bright
CHORUS

2. |
||||
Flying high like a seabird / on silver wings
Sunlight above me / contentment brings.
Then come the storm clouds / gathering ahead
The utter darkness / I see it spread
But high up in the heavens / the sun is bright
I set my compass / and climb into the light
CHORUS: I will rise above the storm / many wonders to perform
The light still shines and I'll rise above the storm.
On a day when I'm cruising / through sunny skies
Hard to remember / that storms arise
Within the storm clouds / a darkness grows
But up above me / it faintly glows
The radiance of the sunshine / it never fails
Above the tempest / the brilliant light prevails.
CHORUS

Mighty Is the River
01:57
|
|||
Mighty is the river, mighty is the river / that flows down to the sea
Mighty is the power, mighty is the power / of love that sets me free
Take me to the river / wash me in the river / until my soul is clean
Wash away the anger / wash away the sorrow / wash me in the river serene
Mighty is the mountain / mighty is the mountain ./ that reaches to the sky
Mighty is the spirit / mighty is the spirit / that calls my soul to fly
Take me to the mountain / help me climb the mountain / and see things from above
Mighty is the mountain / mighty is the river / wash me in the river of love.

Light of My Soul
02:34
|
|||
Light of my soul, illuminate the path that I take
Give me the wisdom to see the choices I make
O when the darkness comes over me / burn ever brightly to help me see
Light of my soul, keep burning through the dark of the night
Fill me with hope, and keep my spirit burning bright.
Light of my soul, be with me when I walk all alone
Take me to heights where the eagle has flown
I'll be a beacon to guide the one / who has no vision to see the sun
Light of my soul, be with me when the storms fiercely rage
Live in my heart, stay with me till the end of the age.

Mountains
02:57
|
|||
I know faith can move mountains, yeah faith can move mountains
And if faith can move mountains, Lord, won't you move some mountains for me
I've got mountains of grief, I need some relief / from mountains of deep despair
I've got mountains of doubt / oh Lord help me out / And show me that you care
CHORUS: I picked up my shovel and tried to dig
But I need help from somebody big
The weight is oppressing, I need your blessing
Can't move these mountains alone
I feel the Holy Spirit moving, moving,
smoothing each mountain to a little bitty hill
Holy Spirit, moving, moving, I'm completely in Your will
And you're moving mountains of stone.
know faith can move mountains, yeah faith can move mountains
And if faith can move mountains, Lord, won't you move some mountains for me
I've got mountains of pain I cannot contain / and mountains of crushing debt
I've got mountains of guilt, oh, what have I built? But You will save me yet.
CHORUS

Together
02:58
|
|||
You've got a smile / such a beautiful smile
It's only one smile, that's true / but with a million or two
Together we can smile away the blues
Together we'll smile and spread good news.
You've got a heart / overflowing with love
It's only one heart, that's true / but with a million or two
Together all our hearts can beat as one
Together with love we'll get things done.
You've got two hands / and they're shaping the world
They're only two hands, that's true / but with a million or two
Together we can build a peaceful place / together with all the human race.
You've got a voice / and you're singing a song
It's only one voice, that's true / but with a million or two
Together what a chorus we can bring
Together what harmony we'll sing
You've got a dream / such a wonderful dream
It's only one dream, that's true / but with a million or two
Together there is nothing we can't do
Together we'll make your dream come true

Sunday Mornin' Feeling
02:07
|
|||
One more Sunday mornin' meeting as we gather here
Sunday mornin' greetings with a smile of cheer
Open our hearts to worship and praise now / we're together in every way now
On Sunday mornin'; as we start to pray / Feel the Holy Spirit on a blessed day
A song of gladness, a song of freedom / Sunday mornin' feeling today.
One more Sunday mornin' singing with a joyful sound
Sunday mornin' bringing all the love we've found
More than our words can ever express now
Feel the Spirit will come and bless now
On Sunday mornin' on our holy day / Feel the holy Spirit in a whole new way
A song of gladness, a song of freedom / Sunday mornin' feeling today.
CHORUS:
Got that Sunday mornin' feeling, Holy Spirit healing
Giving us all we seek
We need that Sunday mornin' feeling / every single day of the week

No Human Hands
02:39
|
|||
No human hands ever built up a mountain
No human paintbrush ever colored the sky
It's only You, Lord, Light of the world / the one Creator who dwells on high
No human mind ever thought up the sunrise
No human passion ever wiped out our sin
It's only You, Lord, Light of the world / the only redeemer who's ever been
BRIDGE: Only You, Lord, only You, Lord
The everlasting fountain flowing
Only You, Lord, only You, Lord
You are the flower ever growing
No human hands ever fashioned a rainbow
No human power put the stars in the sky
It's only You, Lord, Light of the world / the one Creator who dwells on high

Spirit of Life
02:34
|
|||
Spirit of Life, how can I know you? / How can I try to comprehend
Spirit that has no beginning / and surely it has no end.
CHORUS: Spirit of the wind, forever blowing
Spirit of the water forever flowing
Spirit of stars and moon and sun
When will I remember / You are all one.
Spirit of Life, I can hear you singing / Life's ever-changing melody
But if my soul knows the Singer / the song is no mystery.
CHORUS
Spirit of Life, when the wind stops blowing / and all the mighty rivers cease
there will still be a way to find You, a place I can find Your peace.
CHORUS
When will I remember / we are all one.

O What a Joy!
02:27
|
|||
O what a joy it is to gather together in the house of the Lord (repeat)
: CHORUS: Let the Spirit flow to us, Spirit flow through us
Blessing everyone in sight
Let the Spirit come near us, we know that you hear us
For Jesus is our delight
O what a joy it is to welcome each other in the house of the Lord (repeat)
CHORUS
O what a joy it is to pray here together in the house of the Lord (repeat)
CHORUS

12. |
||||
The rivers of compassion all are running dry
The world is like a desert needing rain from on high
CHORUS: So let the raindrops fall / let them bless us all
Let your gentle love rain down / let your love rain down
On a dry and thirsty land
Let your gentle love rain down / let your love rain down
Bringing peace at last to man
I know there is a power to calm the angry sea
So there must be a way of finding peace for you and me
CHORUS

The River Is Deep
03:17
|
|||
I keep on drifting down the river of life / and the river covers all
O Lord, that river, its torrent so big / and it seems like I'm so small
The river is deep! Savior, hold me / don't let me wash away
The river is deep! Savior, bless me / be with me every day
This raging river keeps a-movin' me on / and I never see the end
But You can guide me thru the rapids of life / every time I need a friend
The river is deep! And it scares me / to think I could get lost
The river is deep! Savior, guide me / I know it;s worth the cost
If life's a river, you're my savior and guide / when the current seems too swift
Oh God I need you / 'cause the river's too wide / in the night don't let me drift
The river is deep! And it scares me / to think I could get lost
The river is deep! Jesus with me / I know I'm safe with Him.

One Candle
03:38
|
|||
Can one candle burning in the night / light other candles to make the whole bright?
Can you be that candle tonight?
Can you shine and be that living spark / that leads to world out of the dark?
Can you be that candle tonight?
Can one singer with a simple song / make peace an anthem the world can sing along?
Can you be that singer so strong?
Let your song be glad and full of joy / the music nothing can destroy
Can you be that singer tonight?
Can one baby grow to be a man / with inspiration to show us all we can
Find a better way to plan?
If that babe could lead us and inspire / the spark of love that lights a fire
Can you light that fire tonight? Con you be one candle tonight?

REFRAIN: Bethlehem, Bethlehem, what's goin' on at Bethlehem (repeat)
There's a star up in the sky that we never saw before
Even wise men from afar come to see just what's in store.
REFRAIN
In a stable by the inn, people say a baby's born
To a mother oh so young, very early in the morn.
REFRAIN
Even shepherds flock to see such a tiny baby boy
As the angels sing in praise and the people shout for joy.
REFRAIN
Everybody's bringing gifts and the chorus getting' loud
Life your voice and clap your hands, come and join the happy crowd.
REFRAIN
