Caedmon's Call Album

I can see Jesus hanging on the cross
I can see Jesus hanging on the cross
I can see Jesus hanging on the cross
He came looking for the lost

Chorus:

And Love has come
Love has come
Love has come
And it's giving me hope to carry on

I can hear Jesus saying "Father forgive"
I can hear Jesus saying "Father forgive"
I can hear Jesus saying "Father forgive"
What a thing he did

Repeat Chorus

I can see Love
Love is all I want to see
Love can make a beggar rich and set a prisoner free
I know it can do it for you
And God knows it did it for me

I can see Love
Love is all I want to show you love
Love's the only way to go
Love
Love is all a man might need to know
Yes, I know

You know Peter put away his sword
I can see Peter puttin' away his sword
I can see Peter, he put away his sword
He won't fight no more

Repeat Chorus

I gotta carry on

Looking back at the road so far
The journey's left its share of scars
Mostly from leaving the narrow and straight

Looking back it is clear to me
That a man is more than the sum of his deeds
And how you've made good of this mess I've made
Is a profound mystery

Chorus:

Looking back you know
You had to bring me through
All that I was so afraid of
Though I questioned the sky now I see why
Had to walk the rocks to see the mountain view
Looking back I see the lead of love

Looking back I can finally see
How failures bring humility
(I'd rather have wisdom and pain)
Brings me to my knees
(Than be a comfortable old fool)
Helps me see my need for thee

Repeat Chorus

There's tarnish on the golden rule
And I want to jump from this ship of fools
Show me a place where hope is young
And a people who are not afraid to love

Chorus:

This world has nothing for me
And this world has everything
All that I could want
And nothing that I need

This world is making me drunk
On the spirits of fear
So when He says who will go
I am nowhere near

Repeat Chorus twice

And the least of these
Look like criminals to me
So I leave Christ on the street

This world has held my hand
And has led me into intolerance
But now I'm waking up
And now I'm breaking up
But now I'm making up
for lost time

Repeat Chorus

.:: Thankful ::.

You know I ran across
An old box of letters
When I was bagging up some clothes for goodwill

But you know I had to laugh
At the same old struggles
That plagued me then are plaguing me still

'Cause I know the road is long
From the ground to glory
But a boy can hope he's getting some place

But you see I'm running from
The very clothes I'm wearing
And dressed like this I'm fit for the chase

You know there is none righteous
Not one who understands
There is none who seeks God no not one
No not one

So I am thankful that I'm incapable of doing any good on my own yeah
Said I'm so thankful that I'm incapable of doing any good on my own yeah

'Cause we're all still-born
Dead in our transgressions
Shackled up to the sin we hold so dear

What part can I play
In the work of redemption
'Cause I can't refuse and I cannot add a thing

'Cause I am just like Lazarus
And I can hear your voice
And I stand and rub my eyes and walk to you
Because I have no choice

'Cause it's by grace I have been saved
And through faith it's not my own
It is a gift of God and not by works
Lest anyone should boast

.:: There You Go ::.

Is this the strange feeling
Of you working all to good
'Cause I am so confused
I don't even ask for what I should

When I asked for and deserved a stone
You broke and gave your body as bread
And even the stone that dropped down and rolled away
Spoke of the one who bled

There you go working good from my bad
There you go making robes from my rags
There you go melting crowns from my calves
There you go working good of all I have
Till all I have's not that bad

When I asked for and deserved a serpent
You gave a net full of fish
And even the serpent that told the lie
When lifted high foretold the gift

For you so loved the unlovable
That you gave the ineffable
That who so believes the unbelievable
Will gain the unattainable

.:: Shifting Sand ::.

Sometimes I believe all the lies
So I can do the things I should despise
And everyday I am swayed
By whatever is on my mind

I hear it all depends on my faith
So I'm feeling precarious
The only problem I have with these mysteries
Is they're so mysterious

And like a consumer I've been thinking
If I could just get a bit more
More than my fifteen minutes of faith
Then I'd be secure

My faith is like shifting sand
Changed by every wave
My faith is like shifting sand
So I stand on grace

I've begged you for some proof
For my Thomas eyes to see
A slithering staff, a leprous hand
And lions resting lazily

A glimpse of your back-side glory
And this soaked altar going ablaze
But you know I've seen so much
And I explained it away

Waters rose as my doubts reigned
My sand-castle faith it slipped away
Found myself standing on your grace
It'd been there all the time

Before there was time
There were visions in Your mind
There was death in the fall of mankind
But there was life in salvation's design
Before there were days
There were nights I could not see Your face
But the night could not keep me from grace
When You came and took my place


So I cry holy only begotten Son of God
Ancient of days
I cry holy only begotten Son of God
And sing the praises
Of the One who saved me
And the promises He made


Before there was time
You counted the hairs on my head
You knew all the words that I've said
And You purchased me back from the dead
Before I was made
You searched me and knew my ways
You numbered all my days
And You set forth the steps I would take


So I cry holy only begotten Son of God
Ancient of days
I cry holy only begotten Son of God
And sing the praises
Of the One who saved me
And the promises He made


You saved me; You raised me
You saved me; You pulled me from the grave


So I cry holy only begotten Son of God
Ancient of days
I cry holy only begotten Son of God
And sing the praises
I cry holy only begotten Son of God
Ancient of days
I cry holy only begotten Son of God
And sing the praises
Of the One who saved me
And the promises He made

Lord of all creation
Of water earth and sky
The heavens are your tabernacle
Glory to the Lord on high


God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your Majesty
You are holy, You are holy
Lord of heaven and earth
Lord of heaven and earth


Early in the morning
I will celebrate the light
When I stumble in the darkness
I will call Your name by night


God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your Majesty
You are holy, You are holy
Lord of heaven and earth
Lord of heaven and earth


Hallelujah to the lord of Heaven and Earth
Hallelujah to the lord of Heaven and Earth
Halelujah to the Lord of Heaven and Earth


God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your Majesty
You are holy, You are holy

God of wonders beyond our galaxy
You are holy, holy
The universe declares Your Majesty
You are holy, You are holy
Lord of heaven and earth
Lord of heaven and earth

When I was young
You were my breath and heartbeat
Born in the dark
You were the hand that held me
You opened Your arms
Called me to Your salvation
Your infinite love
Echoes in all creation


For who You are
You're the Great I am
For who You are
You're the Son of man
For who You are
I am who I am


Father of grace
I am Your child of mercy
Inside my heart
And all around me I see the glory


Of who You are
You're the Great I am
Of who You are
You're the Son of man
Of who You are
I am who I am


You pulled me out of the darkness
You pulled me out of all my emptiness
You are Your instrument of praise


For who You are
You're the Great I am
For who You are
You're the Son of man
For who You are
I am who I am


For who You are
You're the Great I am
For who You are
You're the Son of man
For who You are
I am who I am

We delight in the law of Your Word
We delight in the Son who was perfect from birth
We delight in the day He's returning to earth
Hallelujah, hallelujah


We will bow our hearts because we are free
As we raise our hands to give You glory
Father of life and love and infinite worth
We're delivered by blood that flows from the tree
Draw us near to You, vessels of Your mercy
Before the invention of man... the glorious trinity


We delight in the law of Your Word
We delight in the Son who was perfect from birth
We delight in the day He's returning to earth
Hallelujah, hallelujah


We will lift our eyes to the clouds and the flame
Lord, You guide our steps and restore us again
The nations of man will rejoice in the God of the wilderness


We delight in the law of Your Word
We delight in the Son who was perfect from birth
We delight in the day He's returning to earth
Hallelujah, hallelujah

Depth of mercy, can there be
Mercy still reserved for me
Can my God, Your wrath forbear
Me, the chief of sinners, spare

It's my only hope
You're my only hope
It's my only hope of Heaven
At the cross forgiven

And I have long withstood Your grace
Long provoked You to Your face
Would not harken to Your calls
Grieved You by a thousand falls

It's my only hope
You're my only hope
It's my only hope of Heaven
At the cross forgiven me

And there for me the Savior stands
Shows His wounds and spreads His hands
And face to face before the Son
And like Isaiah I'm undone

Depth of mercy, vast and free
So much deeper than the sea
And God of love, You heard my cry
Now into Your open arms I fly

It's my only hope
You're my only hope
It's my only hope of Heaven

My only hope
You're my only hope
It's my only hope of Heaven
At the cross forgiven, yeah

Share the well, share with your brother
Share the well my friend
It takes a deeper well to love one another
Share the well my friend

Je Ra Ji Ra, Ji Ra, De Ji Ra, De Ji Ji Ji

Do you think the water knows
Flowing down the mountain thaw
Finally to find repose
For any soul who cares to draw
Some kindred keepers of this Earth
On their way to join the flow
Are cast aside and left to thirst
Tell me know it is not so

Share the well, share with your brother
Share the well my friend
It takes a deeper well to love one another
Share the well my friend

All God's creatures share the water hole
The bleesed day the monsoon comes
And in His image we are woven
Every likeness every one
From Kashmir to Karala
Under every banyan tree
Mothers for their children cry
With empty jar and bended knee

Share the well, share with your brother
Share the well my friend
It takes a deeper well to love one another
Share the well my friend

Je Ra Ji Ra, Ji Ra, De Ji Ra, De Ji Ji Ji

You know I've heard good people say
There's nothing I can do
That's half a world away
Well maybe you've got money
Maybe you've got time
Maybe you've got the Living Well
That ain't every running dry

Share the well, share with your brother
Share the well my friend
It takes a deeper well to love one another
Share the well my friend

Share the well, share with your brother
Share the well my friend
It takes a deeper well to love one another
