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
2.
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)
3.
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)
4.
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)
5.
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)
6.
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
7.
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)
8.
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
9.
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)
10.
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

Stay - demo 04:17
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
12.
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)
