I call you on the phone
But you're not at home.
Where do you go when you're hurting?
I hear you're down again,
Lost the will to win.
Why do you run when your hurting?
Oh, where do you hide your heart?
Where do you hide your heart?

Leave the hurt behind you
Love has found you now
And He'll never let you go.
Oh, you've got to know
That Jesus will not leave us now,
So leave your cares behind.
Oh, leave your cares behind.

When you're feeling low
Let me let you know,
That we're all sad sometimes.
Jesus carries you,
He's gonna see you through;
He'll never leave 'cause He loves you.
Oh, where do you hide your heart?
Tell me, where do you hide your heart?

Leave it all behind you
Love has found you now
And He'll never let you go.
Oh, you've got to know
That Jesus will not leave us now.
He'll never let you go.
He'll never let you go.

Where do you hide your heart?
Where do you hide your heart?

Leave the hurt behind you
Love has found you now
And He'll never let you go.
It's so good to know
That Jesus will not leave us now.
He'll never let you go.
He'll never let you go.

Consider the lilies of the field,
Solomon dressed in royal robes
Has not the worth of them.
Consider the lilies of the field.
He takes after each and every need.
Leave all your cares behind,
Seek Him and you will find
Your Father loves you so.

Consider the creatures of the air.
For all of the diamonds in all the earth
Have not the wealth of them.
Consider the creatures of the air.
Jehovah loves them with tender hand.
He knows your every care,
His touch is always there
To see you through the night.

And Jehovah I love You so,
And Jesus I want You to know,
All you've done for me to set me free,
I'll never let you go.
And Jehovah I love You so,
And Jesus I want You to know,
All You've done for me to set me free,
I'll never let You go.

Consider the lilies of the field.
For how much more does He love His own,
If Yaweh cares for them.
Consider the creatures of the air.
He takes after each and every need.
If we ask Him for bread,
Will He give us a stone?
Jehovah loves His own.

And Jehovah I love You so,
And Jesus I want You to know,
All you've done for me to set me free,
I'll never let You go.
And Jehovah I love You so,
And Jesus I want You to know,
All You've done for me to set me free,
I'll never let you go.

And Jehovah I love You so,
And Jesus I want You to know,
All you've done for me to set me free,
I'll never let You go.

And Jehovah I love You so,
And Jesus I want You to know,
All you've done for me to set me free,
I'll never let You go.
And Jehovah I love You so,
And Jesus I want You to know,
All you've done for me to set me free,
I'll never let You go.

And Jehovah I love You so,
And Jesus I want You to know,
All you've done for me to set me free,
I'll never let You go.
And Jehovah I love You so,
And Jesus I want You to know,
All you've done for me to set me free,
I'll never let You go.

(Ne'er let You go....)

(Never go....)

"Take this man to prison," the man heard Herod say,
And then four squads of soldiers came and carried him away.
Chained up between two watchmen, Peter tried to sleep,
But beyond the walls an endless prayer was lifting for his keep.
Then a light cut through the darkness of a lonely prison cell,
And the chains that bound the man of God just opened up and fell,
And running to his people before the break of day,
There was only one thing on his mind, only one thing to say:

Angels watching over me, every move I make,
Angels watching over me!
Angels watching over me, every step I take,
Angels watching over me!

God only knows the times my life was threatened just today.
A reckless car ran out of gas before it ran my way.
Near misses all around me, accidents unknown,
Though I never see with human eyes the hands that lead me home.
But I know they're all around me all day and through the night.
When the enemy is closing in, I know sometimes they fight
To keep my fight from falling, I'll never turn away.
If you're asking what's protecting me then you're gonna hear me say:

Got His angels watching over me, every move I make,
Angles watching over me!
Angels watching over me, every step I take,
Angels watching over me....

Angels watching over me....
Angels watching over me.

Got His angels watching over me, every move I make,
Angels watching over me!
Angels watching over me, every step I take,
Angels watching over me!

Angels watching over me,
Angels watching over me,
Angels watching over me,
Angels watching over me!

Though I never see with human eyes the hands that lead me home....

. . .



Day by day, dream by dream.
I fight to find the way to go.
Every day opens a different door.
Every dream shadows the one before.
But slowly I can see
The way You've made for me.

Straight ahead, I can see Your light.
Straight ahead, through the dark.
Straight ahead, there's no left or right.
Straight ahead, to your heart.

Carry on through the night,
When the road is hard to find.
Lying lights tell me to turn around.
Lying thoughts tell me I'm lost not found.
But clearly I can see
You're waiting there for me.

Straight ahead, I can see Your light.
Straight ahead, through the dark.
Straight ahead, there's no left or right.
Straight ahead, to your heart.

Straight ahead, (straight ahead),
Straight ahead, (straight ahead),
Straight ahead, (straight ahead),
Straight ahead, (straight ahead).

Straight ahead (straight ahead), I can see Your light.
Straight ahead, through the dark (through the dark).
Straight ahead, there's no left or right.
Straight ahead, to your heart.

Straight ahead....

. . .



Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path.

When I feel afraid,
And think I've lost my way.
Still, You're there right beside me.
Nothing will I fear
As long as You are near;
Please be near me to the end.

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path.

I will not forget
Your love for me and yet,
My heart forever is wandering.
Jesus by my guide,
And hold me to Your side,
And I will love you to the end.

Nothing will I fear
As long as You are near;
Please be near me to the end.

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path.
And a light unto my path.
You're the light unto my path.
Straight ahead....

Day turns to night, and I turn into bed.
Can't get to sleep; something's in my head.
Pacing the floor, I try to force a rhyme.
Why do I fear this time?

It's not a song till it touches your heart.
It's not a song till it tears you apart.
After what's left of what's right and what's wrong,
Till it gets through to you,
It's not a song.

Now close your eyes; look into your hand.
What do you see?
Life is our song, to give and learn to take.
Time will not wait.

Oh, won't you please come dance,
While the song's still playing,
Won't be long till the silence falls.

It's not a song till it touches your heart. (It's not a song.)
It's not a song till it tears you apart.
After what's left of what's right and what's wrong,
Till it gets through to you,
It's not a song.

It's not a song till it touches your heart. (It's not a song.)
It's not a song till it tears you apart.
After what's left of what's right and what's wrong,
Till it gets through to you,
It's not a song.

It's not a song till it touches your heart. (It's not a song.)
It's not a song till it tears you apart.
After what's left of what's right and what's wrong,
Till it gets through to you,
It's not a song.

It's not a song till it touches your heart. (It's not a song.)
It's not a song till it tears you apart.
After what's left of what's right and what's wrong,
Till it gets through to you,
It's not a song.

Guess I've got a lot of learning to do
About the way that You love.
If it had been left up to me,
I'd given up a long time ago.
But You've got a way of wooing me,
Tender and true,
And though I don't deserve it,
I'm falling into Your

Open arms.
Your love has taken hold,
And I can't fight it;
I'm giving in to Your
Open arms.
They pull me to You;
They wrap Your love around me;
I'll rest in Your open arms.

Only yesterday the thought came the to me,
Is Your love as deep as they say?
Wonder where those questions come from.
Soon as I learn, I'll chase them away.
'Cause I've had a taste of tenderness,
Simple and true,
It drives away the doubting
And draws me into Your

Open arms.
Your love has taken hold,
And I can't fight it.
I'm giving in to Your
Open arms.
They pull me to You;
They wrap Your love around me;
I'll rest in Your open arms.

Open arms.
Your love has taken hold,
And I can't fight it.
I'm giving in to Your
Open arms.
They pull me to;
They wrap Your love around me;
I'll rest in Your open,

Open arms.
Your love has taken hold,
And I can't fight it.
I'm giving in to Your
Open arms.
They pull me to You;
They wrap Your love around me;
I'll rest in Your open...(open arms).

I know, I know, I know,
And I can't fight it.
I'm giving in to Your
Open arms.
They pull me to;
They wrap love around me;
I'll rest in Your open arms (open arms).

If you see the moon,
Rising gently on your fields.
If the wind blows softly on your face.
If the sunset lingers,
While cathedral bells peal,
And the moon has risen to her place,

You can thank the Father
For the things that He has done.
And thank Him for the things he's yet to do.
And if you find a love that's tender,
If you find someone who's true,
Then thank the Lord --
He's been doubly good to you.

If you look in the mirror,
At the end of a hard day,
And you know in your heart you have not lied.
And if you gave love freely,
If you earned an honest wage,
And if you've got Jesus by your side,

You can thank the Father
For the things that He has done.
And thank Him for the things He's yet to do.
And if you find a love that's tender,
If you find someone who's true,
Thank the Lord --
He's been doubly good to you.

You can thank the Father
For the things that He has done.
And thank Him for the things He's yet to do.
And if you find a love that's tender,
If you find someone who's true,
Thank the Lord --
He's been doubly good to you....

Thank the Lord --
He's been doubly good to you.

Lay down your failures and excuses,
All of the dreams that never come true;
The past is a crutch you've been using;
Time you broke that thing in two.
Open your eyes to tomorrow.
Open your life to His care.
Open your past to His mercy.
Open your heart, He'll be there.

We've got tomorrow;
There'll be changes made inside.
We've got tomorrow;
Gonna take it all in stride.
If we just follow,
God will lead us to His side.
If this day went wrong
You gotta pick up,
You gotta move on to tomorrow.

Yesterday's gone for forever.
We'll never change a thing we've done.
But the guilt is behind us,
If our heart's moving on.
Never give an inch (never give an inch) to disbelieving;
What God said, He's gonna do,
And He said when He started,
He's never gonna quit until He's through.

We've got tomorrow;
Don't let trouble fill your head.
We've got tomorrow;
You gotta believe what He said.
Just follow. He'll be here until the end,
So keep hanging on,
Until you pick up,
Until you move on to tomorrow.

I know some things can take time.
But I believe He changes minds.
Tell me when are you gonna see?
All you gotta do is believe!

We've got tomorrow;
There'll be changes made inside.
We've got tomorrow;
Gonna take it all in stride.
If we just follow,
God will lead us to His side.
If this day went wrong
You gotta pick up,
You gotta move on to tomorrow (tomorrow).

Don't let trouble fill your head.
We've got tomorrow (tomorrow);
You gotta believe what He said.
And follow (follow). He'll be here until the end,
So keep hanging on,
Until you pick up,
Until you move on until tomorrow (tomorrow).

There'll be changes made inside.
We've got tomorrow (tomorrow);
Gonna take it all in stride.
If we just follow (follow);
God will lead us to His side.
If this day went wrong
You gotta pick up,
You gotta move on to tomorrow (tomorrow).

Don't let trouble fill your head.
Tomorrow (tomorrow).
You gotta believe what He said.
Just follow (follow). He'll be here until the end,
So keep hanging on,
Until you pick up,
Until you move on to tomorrow (tomorrow).

No longer what we were before,
But not all that we will be.
Tomorrow, when we lock the door,
On all our compromising,
When He appears,
He'll draw us near,
And we'll be changed by His glory,
Wrapped up in His glory....

We will be like Him,
For we shall see Him,
As He is.

(La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la....)

No longer what we saw before,
But not all that we will see.
Tomorrow, when we lock the door,
On all our disbelieving,
When He appears (holy, holy),
Our view will clear,
And we'll be changed by His glory,
Wrapped up in His glory....

But I'm caught in between
The now and the not yet;
Sometimes it seems like
Forever and ever,
That I've been reaching to be
All that I am,
But I'm only a few steps nearer,
Yet I'm nearer....

No longer what we were before,
But not all that we will be.
Tomorrow, when we lock the door,
On all our disbelieving,
And He appears (holy, holy),
He'll draw us near,
And we'll be changed by His glory,
Wrapped up in His glory....

When He appears (holy, holy),
He'll draw us near,
And we'll be changed by His glory,
Wrapped up in His glory....
