Silently the river runs taking my thoughts home
Kissing pebbles sweet good-byes, chasing dreams unknown
As I walk along the shore the meadow pulls my gaze
Black-eyed Susans wave at me in the misty haze.
I breathe flowers of the morning,
Chorus: The grasses they’re adorning
And I breathe, lifting up my face now
I cannot erase how much a part of me
You have become
A simple song revived beneath the sun
(repeat at end)
So I breathe
Quietly the river sings music few can hear
Lovely as she dances on, whispering, “Come near”.
Continuing along the shore, a soft breeze lifts my hair
Thinking I was all alone, but you are everywhere.
Chorus
I see you in the sunlight
The river is singing your song
I feel your touch when I brush the willow
And suddenly I know where I belong

Beautiful Contrast

Milk and marble, ice and fire
Do not mix, but our desire
Pulls us near. Melts our fear… We’re a beautiful contrast (2x)
Silk and sand, cheese and chalk
Might n
Far from you…although it’s true… We’re a beautiful contrast (2x)
Chorus: We’re a beautiful contrast
But we can’t hide
The three things
That deep inside connect us
(And) keep us close
We’re a beautiful contrast
Instrumental:
Like a rainbow in a storm
Faith inspires
Like a daisy in the dirt
There is hope
Like a pearl within a clam
Love surprises
And each of these connects
To our soul.
Chorus: We’re a beautiful contrast
But we can’t hide
The three things
That deep inside connect us
(And) keep us close
We’re a beautiful contrast (repeats 3x at end)
Final Instrumental:

A BRIGHTER TOMORROW
Woman in the window starin’ back at me. I walk by your house , are you
feelin’ lonely?
I wander the streets here all alone just like you
And I wonder if you fear the night like I do
And I pray…..
OOOOh,oooooh,won’t you hear me today
Let the stars shine like the brightest of day
Light up my smile as the memories unfold
Light up my hope for a brighter tomorrow
The truck fumes embraced us as you fumbled with the ring
I giggled and I said, " Yes! " on that summer evening.
Our house by the river Bow became the home we'd always own.
It grew like our love did -..Oh, if only we had known….
That our days were being counted
and our time was near to dusk
That your smile would be a picture in the album of us
The kids are all grown now , they have families of their own
The memories surround me as I walk the streets alone
Fingers of darkness brush my hair like a comb
Overshadowing all the thoughts I have of home…So I pray………

Had to make a decision/a lesson hard to learn/but when I stopped for a moment/ I knew which way to turn/and I know it's you/and I know it's true/in the stillness You will come to me/when my faith is firmly rooted/the ground beneath me moves/when my faith is firmly rooted/ the ground beneath me moves/ driving in my car/ after a day of things gone wrong/ but then You spoke to me/ thin the words of a simple song/ and I know it"s You/ and I know it's true/ in the stillness you will come to me/ when my faith is firmly rooted/ the ground beneath me moves/ when my faith is firmly rooted / the ground beneath me moves/ time I feel so weary, life chills me like December/ problems upset me but that's when I remember / that in my darkest hour I can feel Your power. and rooted in Your love the sun shines through...

Here I am . Awake again. And I know it's two a.m. without a glance . And this shouting in my mind...assures me sleep just doesn't have a chance. And every day is always the same..like balancing on a knife.
Staying the course, keeping on top, sleepwalking through my life.
CHORUS : There was a story that I heard a very long time ago . I remember a man was blind from birth but knew just where to go. Jesus put hands upon his eyes and the man could finally see. Please won't you help this sleepwalker with faith to set me free. With faith to set me free.
Here I am . Alone again. But I think that if I called you'd soon be here. And the dark night of this soul would release its grip and finally disappear.
And maybe someday I'll learn to obey the truth that's in my heart.
And maybe I'll see in reality you've been there from the start.
Chorus
