Track Name: Another Year - demo
ANOTHER YEAR

Another trip around the sun
Another walk around the block
And if we only get this one
Then baby, let’s not watch the clock
Unwind, unfurl your heart, little girl
Hair down, laces tight,
Let’s just sing and laugh and love tonight

We’ve only got one life
We’ve only got one shot at this
So grab my hand, hold tight
Come on babe, let’s lock eyes for one more kiss
Track Name: Nations That Long In Darkness Walked - demo
NATIONS THAT LONG IN DARKNESS WALKED
Words: John Barnard, 1753


Nations that long in darkness walked
Have now seen a glorious light
On them who dwelt in shades of death
The light shines heavenly bright

For Lo! The virgin’s Child is born
The Son of God is given
Upon His shoulders shall be laid
The rule of earth and heaven

His name is called Wonderful
The Counselor, the Mighty God
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace
Peace dearly purchased with blood,
Peace dearly purchased with blood

His government shall know no bounds,
But over all extend
And happy peace, the glorious fruits
Of His reign shall know no end
(CHORUS)

Over David’s kingdom, on his throne
To establish it secure
With judgment clear and justice right,
His reign shall forever endure
(CHORUS)
Track Name: Trance - demo
TRANCE

When I’m down girl, it never fails
You smile the wind back into my sails
When there’s tension and troubled minds
You laugh so full with those ocean eyes

The sun rises when you sing
The sound hypnotizes everything
And I’m caught up girl in a willful trance
You make the whole wide world wanna dance
And we say, Oh yeah, Oh whoa yeah!

I’ve watched you sleeping, I’ve seen you cry
I’ve brought you home and I’ve said goodbye
You’re growing older, you’re growing me
You make me younger, you make me see
(CHORUS)
Track Name: Because Of Who You Are - demo
BECAUSE OF WHO YOU ARE

What kind of love was lavished on us,
That we should be called Your children?
What kind of grace stops down, takes our place,
What kind of mercy was given?

We are Yours
Although we ran so far
Your promise endures
Because of who You are

We were afraid, running astray
When You came to fill our emptiness
Now, how can it be, acceptance and peace
Joy, strength and hope and forgiveness
(CHORUS)
Track Name: The Rest - demo
THE REST

I don’t know what tomorrow is going to bring,
Will it be one more sorrow, or will I sing?
This fear is like a shadow in the middle of the night,
There’s so much that you don’t know, and nothing looks quite right

But I know the One who calls out the sun
I may not understand, but I’m always in His hands
And if He’s fine-tuning everything together for my best
Then I don’t need to know the rest

I don’t know what might happen if I follow His lead,
But the fears I could imagine are no match for my King
If fear is just like darkness, then He is this world’s light,
If fear is just like blindness, then He is healing sight
(CHORUS)
Track Name: Time With You - demo
TIME WITH YOU

I used to think I needed
Summers on the Riviera
Dancing, wine, Italian shoes,
Caviar and tailored suits;
I used to think I needed
A private lodge in the Alps for skiing,
A yacht in Spain, a London flat
And cash to pay for all of that

But all I need is time with you
A humble meal at a table set for two
So keep the silk, the diamond rings
And all those other fancy things
Time with you will do

I used to pine away
To see those lights spell out my name,
Adoring fans in love with me,
Unauthorized biographies;
I used to dream about
Wielding power, having clout,
Who knows, but I bet I’d make
A two-term president someday

But all I need is time with you
A humble meal at a table set for two
So keep the pipe-dreams, burn the plans
I’ll be a happy no-name with empty hands
‘Cause time with you will do
Track Name: I've Got Wings - demo
I’VE GOT WINGS

You climb up the ledge, you raise up your arms
You point your face to the sky
You step to the edge and your heart hammers hard
But babe, why do you need to fly?

I’ve got wings enough for you and me, baby
I am shelter from the rain
I’ve got more than you will ever need, honey
So won’t you let me ease the pain

You’re covered in feathers, you jump off and then
You crumple to earth, cry and bleed
You’re wondering whether it’s the wings or the wind
You’re trying so hard not to need me
(CHORUS)

When you get tired of flapping your arms
Then falling like a heap to the ground
And you desire to trade in all that harm
Just know that I will always be around, around
(CHORUS)
Track Name: This I Know - demo
THIS I KNOW

What if my life was a random event,
What if I just happened to happen?
Am I here because of some fluke accident,
Or is there a story I fit in?

What lies behind all the beauty we see,
Is there a reason for joy or for pain?
Was there a thought there behind you and me,
Can you justify praise or blame?

What if I believe that God made a man
That He shaped the world according to plan
And what if I hope in a future so bright
That the Maker would bear all our wrong to make right

Does the stuff that I’m made of determine my days,
Am I doomed to just be one more stat?
Or does the Maker of stars set my course with His grace
No matter how many times I fall flat?

What if I believe that God made a man
That He shaped the world according to plan
And what if I hope in a future so bright
That the Maker would bear all our wrong to make right

Was I known? Am I loved?
Does anyone know?

Well, I believe that God made this man
That He shaped my world according to plan
And yes, I hope in a future so bright
That the Maker would bear all my wrong to make right
Oh, I was known, And I am loved
This I know
Track Name: I'm Just One - demo
I’m Just One

The clouds are high in the east end sky
Like a chalk drawing, pink against blue
I’m driving down there to Charlotte-town
In just a few moons to see youhh

When you feast your eyes on your mama’s smile
And in your dad’s arms you’re safe and sound
I’ll be waiting and anticipating
The moment they pass you around

Did you know it will be cold
When you’re out here under our sun
Lots of folks long to hold you
And baby, I am just one, but I’m one

The sun’s gone away for another day
And everyone is down for the night,
But when it’s dark as can be in the Queen’s city
Your eyes will be big and bright!
(CHORUS)
Track Name: Walk With You - demo
WALK WITH YOU

You saw me fall apart, wandering away
You found me in the dark and brought a brand new day
You woke me up to live, You told me I am loved
You freely give and give, Your fullness is enough

One foot in front of the other
With every word You say
If I’m the only one out there
Step by step, day by day

I want to walk with You (girls echo)
To follow You from the start (echo)
I want to see this through (echo)
I want to please Your heart
Track Name: Stay - demo
STAY

You made us for a garden filled with peace and joy and rest
You breathed into our lungs Your life and gave us all Your best
We didn’t have to listen and we chose not to obey
Oh, You made us for a garden, but we did not stay

We walked out of the garden and so far away from You
And every generation since has hated light and truth
Oh, each of us has turned on You, like sheep we’ve gone astray
We drove You out of our lives, but You did not stay

You left Your home in heaven and You took on bone and skin
You lived a life as one of us, we did not take You in
In heaven You were worshiped, but down here You felt our hate
In heaven You were worshiped, but You did not stay

Oh, how can this be; Oh such great love for me?

You carried all our sorrows and You felt all of our grief
You healed us and forgave our sins, but some would not believe
They plotted how to kill You and in silver they would pay
Your betrayer’s at the table, but he will not stay

You’re crying in the garden with the blood upon Your brow
By torches they are marching, Oh they’re coming for You now
They bind You like a criminal, Your friends all run away
They swore they would stand with You, but they did not stay

They treated You like hell all night, they laughed, they made demands,
They drew Your blood, they mocked Your name, they pierced Your feet and hands
And hanging in the dark alone, You could have flown away,
You could have called Your angels, but You chose to stay

Oh, how can this be; Oh such great love for me?

You gave Your last breath for our life, You died upon the cross
Your tomb was sealed tight with a stone, it seemed that all was lost
But Sunday morn, an empty tomb, the stone was rolled away,
They laid You in a grave, but Lord, You did not stay
Track Name: In You - demo
IN YOU

Lord, there are days I don’t know what to do
I feel so ashamed, I think I can’t go to You
And my heart’s underground, cold and hard like a stone
But You chase me down, You won’t leave me alone

When I pull away, You come after
When I run my way, You run faster
What had me bound, You’re unbinding
All that I’ve lost, You are finding
I am loved, I’m secure, I am new
Because I’m in You

Lord, there are times I think You’re just like me
That You change Your mind when You don’t like what You see
But You promised to love no matter what I might do
And You promised with blood, so Your promise is true
(CHORUS)
