Christmas wish

Like little ones, we would bow before the tree

What lovely gifts, what presents are in store for me?

And by the fire, we would do some caroling

Busking in the joy the season brings

I ask You, would You grant me, my christmas wish this year

And suddenly, You make everything so clear

I fall to my knees

I fall to my knees

The greatest gift of all is hanging on the tree for me

As older ones, we would exchange expensive things

It may cost me, but its something I can afford to bring

But what present, what gift, would you bring the king of kings?

In this gift exchange, its a one way game

I ask You, would You grant me, my christmas wish this year

And suddenly, You make everything so clear

I fall to my knees

I fall to my knees

The greatest gift of all is hanging on the tree for me

The greatest gift of all is hanging on the tree for me

The greatest gift hangs there on a tree for me

Like little ones, I bow before the tree...

Ceylon

I am a poor boy, putting on the best that I have
And a sickness, is the only thing I have to bring

I am a poor girl, and to get there I must travel afar
But I won't be late cos I've a meeting with the King of Kings


I am a host, appointed by the heavenly hosts
So by the crashing waves thats where I'll pave the way for the Lord of Lords

I am an addict, addicted to everything wrong
And my only cure is to call upon the name above all names


And I know you won't reject their desperate plea
I know you won't hold back your hand that heals
I know you won't refuse to come down here
Cos the people are hungry here
The people are empty, and you're near

I have reason to believe you'll come
I have reason to believe you'll come
Cos you hear, and have compassion on the broken ones
I have reason to believe you'll come
I have reason to believe you'll come
Cos you heal, and you love the little ones


Hear their cry, and heal their land
Hear our cry, and heal our land

You

Watch how the rain falls on the dry ground, and nourishes
The plants in the fields they rejoice, at the clouds above

Look to the sky without the street lights, and then you'll see
How it was mean't to be the countless stars, in the galaxy


Yet there's none of them compares to you
Theres no shooting star that shines as bright as you

When your dreams they fade and seem so far
Don't look at the signs to find out who you are
Look at me
Look at me

You are you
You are you
Because you're you
Because you're you

I love you, because you're you


Watch how the ocean beats the sand in sheer might, in harmony
They toss and they turn and they make you realize, how small you can be

Feel the earth shake in pure fright, beneath your feet
Cities built in years torn apart, so instantly


Yet my eyes are always fixed on you
There's no flower in the field as beautiful as you

When you're starring at the sea so still
Don't let your reflection tell you what to feel
Look at me
Then you'll see


You are you
You are you
Because you're you
Because you're you

I love you, because you're you

The Ride of your Life

V1
If you wanna be free this is the party to be
C'mon, c'mon
If youve had enough of those morning afters
C'mon, c'mon

So go get your friends along
And we'll dance to the break of dawn
Our hearts still beating strong
And when they ask whats going on
I'll respond

Chorus
How can I comprehend the love given to me
I dont understand and it makes no sense how I am free
So would you take my hand, take my hand tonight
Come on board the ride of your life

v2
If youre done with the temporary fixes
C'mon, c'mon
If you wanna stand up and be counted
C'mon, c'mon

If youre sick of moving with the trends
You think its time to make ammends
To live your life for what its meant
This is your very chance
Your chance, your chance

Chorus
How can I comprehend the love given to me
I dont understand and it makes no sense how I am free
So would you take my hand, take my hand tonight
Come on board the ride of your life


This party is something more
than a drug that leaves you needing more
Its all youve been searching for
All and so much more
Much more, much more

To the Cross

V1
Back to the cross I went
Where we first met, my friend
And I recall how I was lost, but now I stand here with you

Took my place at no cost
Wore my crown of thorns
I'm suppose to be the one, but there you bleed for me

I saw my saviour cry that night
You asked your father was there another way to make my blind eyes see...

Chorus
Then to the cross, on calvery
Tell me was it really worth saving me?
It still remains a mystery
How the King of Kings hangs thiere on a tree
And He thought of me

v2
And I ask which hurt you more?
Was it the nails that you bore?
Or my heart that turned from you, My Lord

Came as a mortal man
Became the one we condemmed
Yet in your last dying breath all you cried was 'Forgive them'

I saw my saviour die that night
And now I'm kneeling at your feet hanging on for my dear life...

Chorus
To the cross, on calvery
Tell me was it really worth saving me?
It still remains a mystery
How the King of Kings hangs thiere on a tree
And how He thought of me

He thought of me, he thought of me?
How can it be, how can it be?
It still remains a mystery
How this precious grace is all for free
And its all for me


Oh that cross, on calvery
How can it be worth saving me?
It still remains a mystery
How the King of Kings hangs there on a tree
And He thought of me...

The storm

I have seen
Blind man see
Dead man rise
They walk free

I have seen miracles
But they don't happen to me
I'm an expired miracle
Just waiting to be

But as I wait
You are here
The storm whispers clear
I need not fear

The waves form a cave around me
The best thing I could do was to lean on your shoulder
The currents are strong as can be
The best thing I can do is to lean on you

I have tried
To trust in me
I have drowned
So helplessly

I am a proud man
But I learn from my mistakes
Whats it gonna take me
Whats it gonna break

To let go
To lose my hold
Close my eyes and hope
That Ill stay afloat

The waves form a cave around me
The best thing I could do was to lean on your shoulder
The currents are strong as can be
The best thing I can do is to lean on you

Better again

This is for the new yr, the years before, and the years ahead.

V1
Hey you, hey you in the corner
Are you the ghost from my past?
Reminding me of who I was before

Why are you, why are you so empty?
Do you see the chance of your life time
Thats knocking on your door

I'm still that boy, just with different voice
I'm still that boy, just with a different choice
To follow You, to follow You

Chorus
And I cant help wanting more
Cos Im higher than I was before

Every year it seems
I get more than what I ask for
I see more than what Ive seen
And this keeps getting better and better

With You!

V2
Hey you, hey you in the back seat
Why are you so queit?
Its as if your mouth has been tamed

Why do you, plunge your fist to the ground
Do you hear the voice around you
Calling out your name

I'm still that boy, just with different voice
I'm still that boy, just with a different choice
To follow You, to follow You

Chorus
And I cant help wanting more
Cos Im higher than I was before

Every year it seems
I get more than what I ask for
I see more than I have seen
And this keeps getting better and better

With You!
