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

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
3.
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.
4.
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

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, 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 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
13.
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?
15.
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
