Dancing 02:12
Heading off to work as I bump through the crowd. Navy blue suit , the traffic is loud. Just another salmon swimming upstream. But I have a funny daydream.... That we are dancing , we lose track of time. That we are singing a Gene Kelly line...but it's not raining , it's gonna be fine 'cause we are dancing. Walkin' down the hall while you're checkin' your phone. Lots of cubicles but you're still all alone. You feel like a number , you just wanna scream . But I have a funny daydream.... That you are dancing, you spin in your chair and your are singing ...your arms in the air and now they're looking...you don't even care ...cause you are dancing. If you wanna dance then you need a song. Suddenly you'll hear it in your head all day long. You might be in the subway, you might be at home. Remember that you're never alone. And that you're dancing ...maybe with me , and you are singing ...you're feeling so free...and you are happy the way it should be ..'cause you are dancing ...won't you dance with me?

Don't you know it? Just when things looked up then you blow it. Skies just open up . Don't you know it? 'Cause they always do . And you show it with your attitude. And your angry voice is a cry for help but the hate you feel only hurts yourself. And the sky is dark and the rain is cold and you wish you had someone warm to hold. How did you get lost? How did you get burned? You've been here before ...what's the lesson learned? Don't you know it? Don't you know it? Don't you know it? Just keep looking up and you'll see it. Clouds are breaking up. Then you'll feel it. It was always there. Don't you know it? Someone really cares. And he'll hear your voice as you cry for help. He will teach you love. You'll forgive yourself. He will shine a light so you know the way. He will hold you close. He will always stay. He will find the lost. He will bring them home. He has known the cross. You are not alone.... Don't you know it? Don't you know it? Instrumental and repeat from second verse....

Epiphany 03:31
There is a reason that there is pain, that there is something to gain in each season if we but look to the light. We must plunge into darkness to find the light, to stop depending on sight for the answers . Stars only come out at night. Don't be afraid to enter the dark, remember that day follows night. Maybe someday you'll be the star leading the others to light. Let's make the journey to find the King, to bring the gift of ourselves as an offering knowing he'll show us the way. Instrumental Don't be afraid to enter the dark, remember that day follows night. Maybe someday you'll be the star leading the others to light. Let's make the journey to find the King, to bring the gift of ourselves as an offering, knowing that we'll find the way. Knowing we will, knowing that still....darkness is conquered by day !

Why am I so angry? Tell me it's not true. She didn't just say cancer. I don't know what to do. I wish that I was with her. Her voice betrays her fear. We'll cling to what God promised , the words we long to hear : " I made you in my image, hid heaven in your heart. Loved you from the beginning. How could we be apart ? " You say that you are with us but I don't hear your voice. I know you chose to suffer...but do we have a choice? First she lost her smile , Lord. Then she lost her hair. She'll never lose our love, Lord. Remind us how you care. You said , " I made you in my image, hid heaven in your heart. Loved you from the beginning. How could we be apart ? " Someday all this darkness will give way to the sun. You'll finally know the blessings I have for everyone... Instrumental ... I'm trying to be hopeful , remember you are near. If heaven's in my heart then I have nothing left to fear... I made you in my image, hid heaven in your heart. Loved you from the beginning. How could we be apart ? " Oh oh, you made me in your image, hid heaven in my heart. Loved me from the beginning, how could we be apart ?

Psalm 34 03:01
I trust you , Lord, no matter what happens. If you are discouraged take heart...he answered me. Sons and daughters come and listen ...let me teach your how to trust. Fear the Lord and practise goodness , he'll be merciful and just. Turn from sin and keep from lying , live at peace with everyone. The Lord is watching and he listens. He will warm you like the sun. For I cried to him and he answered me , he freed me from all of my fears. Oh trust the Lord, He'll answer you. Tell the Lord your heart is breaking . He rescues those who turn from sin. Every man will have his troubles. Seek his refuge , go to him. Trust the Lord and feel his kindness. You'll have everything you need. Even strong, young lions go hungry but you'll be rescued if you heed. For I cried to him and he answered me , he freed me from all of my fears. Oh trust the Lord, He'll answer you. I trust you, Lord, no matter what happens. CAD1VN19

I started out blindly with no place to go. She said, " I'll come with you. " of course I said, " No ". But I couldn't stop her. We boarded that train . And I bought the tickets purchased with pain. Sorrow, you sit right beside me. Sorrow, your dress is so black. Sorrow, although you've denied me ...if I can embrace you I know that I'll find my way back. I'll never forget it ...the call when it came. Completely derailing...hearing his name. Suddenly blinded by memories and tears. Like a symphony of agony playing my fears.... Sorrow, you sit right beside me. Sorrow, your dress is so black. Sorrow, although you've denied me ...if I can embrace you I know that I'll find my way back. You thrive on darkness but taught me to see ...a world far beyond me to others in need. Someday you'll meet her. We all take that train. And I'll be beside you. I too have known pain. We'll exit the tunnel. We'll take a new track. With love as conductor we'll find our way back. Sorrow, you sit right beside me. Sorrow, your dress is so black. Sorrow, although you've denied me ...if I can embrace you I know that I'll find my way back. Yes, if I can embrace you I know that I'll find it , If I can embrace you I know that I'll find it...If I can embrace you I know that I'll find my way back !

I know you. I see you. May I please have a drink . He spoke to me and I didn't know what to think. He sat empty handed but the well was very deep. He smiled at me and I felt my heart leap. He said, If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink- you would be asking me, you would be thanking me, oh woman, you'd finally see : I bring you living water. He said, go bring your husband. But sir, I am not a wife. It was clear that he already knew. 5 former husbands and the man with you now... What the prophet was saying was true. He said, If you knew the gift of God and who it is that asks you for a drink- you would be asking me, you would be thanking me, oh woman, you'd finally see : I bring you living water. Worship the father! Seek the truth ! It's time for you to see. The Christ you wait for : I tell you, I Am HE ! I know you. I see you. Would you please have a drink ?

You're all I have, Oh Lord. You are my light. When even stars are silenced in the endless night. You are my mother, Lord. You are my dad. You are my brother and the friend I never had. You're all I have , Oh Lord, when I am scared. When I'm exhausted, lost or unprepared. You're all I have, Oh Lord. You're all I have. (Repeat.) Even with the world at war you hear my voice. You still the waters and you offer me a choice. A choice to follow you , to finally rest. A chance for happiness with just a simple , ' yes' ! You're all I have, Oh Lord. You are my light. When even stars are silenced in the endless night. You are my mother, Lord. You are my dad. You are my brother and the friend I never had. You're all I have , Oh Lord, when I am scared. When I'm exhausted, lost or unprepared. You're all I have, Oh Lord. You're all I have.

I heard your voice in my head and it said I should slow down and listen to you. I heard your voice in my head but instead I sped up 'cause there's so much to do. Laundry and dishes and diapers and calls, emails and off to the mall . Dinner to plan then I'm home with my man. Then start all over again. I heard your voice in my head and it said I should slow down and listen to you. I heard your voice in my head but instead I sped up 'cause there's so much to do. Why do I feel such an emptiness building? Why should I answer the phone? Why do I feel that the whole thing is pointless? Why do I feel so alone? I heard your voice in my head and I said, I could try. Could it really be true? Are you this Jesus who actually loves me if so then just what do I do? Ahhhhhhhhh.....ooooooohhhhh I hear your voice in the wind in the trees and the leaves as they dance in the breeze. I hear your voice in each kind hearted person, I'm smiling and working with ease. I hear your voice in my head but I listen although I have so much to do . Speaking with you gives my life so much meaning . The joy that I've found feels so new. I heard your voice in my head and it said I should slow down and listen to you. I heard your voice in my head and I said that's exactly what I'm going to do.... Ahhhhhh....oooooohhhhh

Just words on a page. Just words on a page..the light has gone out. We stare into space. They continue to shout. And the stories told could be very old. There is nothing new when anger takes hold. The world has a thirst for bloodshed and tears. We read of the worst and it plays on our fears. And we think we're safe as we turn the page 'cause the coffee's on and they're so far away. How can we breathe like we're all alone? How can we sleep while the sirens drone? Why build our house on this pile of sand? Let's join our hands and pray. Let's take a walk and try to really see. Let's be the change...a tiny step t'ward peace. Let us bring some good to our neighbourhood. Let the stories told show that love's taken hold. Just words on a page ...don't let the light go out.

Heaven 03:59
Though I walk through the valley I will reach for the heights. Though my days may be numbered they will count and delight. How I long for the moment when I'll gaze on your face, all my sins long forgiven by your grace. Heaven will be my home. Let me breathe in the water. Let me drink in the light. Let me into the city , golden streets and no night. Let me laugh with the angels, let me sing with their choirs. Let my shine with the love of your desire. Heaven will be my home. Heaven will be my home. Let me bask in forever . Let me learn all their is. Let me share of my talents . Let me only be his. Let me walk with Our Lady. Let me dance with her song. Let my heart be a light for everyone. Heaven will be my home. Heaven will be my home. Instrumental Heaven will be my home. Heaven will be my home.
