CHORUS Saddle up your horses we've got a trail to blaze Through the wild blue yonder of God's amazing grace Let's follow our leader into the glorious unknown This is a life like no other oh... this is The Great Adventure Yeah... Come on get ready for the ride of your life Gonna leave long faced religion in a cloud of dust behind And discover all the new horizons just waiting to be explored This is what we were created for (Chorus) BRIDGE We'll travel over, over mountains so high We'll go through valleys below Still through it all we'll find that This is the greatest journey that the human heart will ever see The love of God will take us far beyond our wildest dreams Yeah... oh saddle up your horses... come on get ready to ride (Chorus) @SONG: Where We Belong A gentle breeze was blowing The air was heavenly sweet - life was so complete In a picture perfect garden While the sun went down you could hear the sound Of a man and woman crying - saying what have we done We made our choice and now we're dying And we've got to leave this place and hide from God's face but this is CHORUS Where we belong where you and I were meant to be (from now on) all along Made by the Father to live in His love It's the purpose and plan for the heart of man This is where we belong The warm winds of change were blowing After years and years of hopeless tears One man became the doorway That would lead back to the place where life was new A place just like the garden where we walk and talk with God The way creation started Where each heart and soul can come and be whole (this is) (Chorus) BRIDGE Like the stars belong in the sky like a fish belongs in the water Just like children you and I belong in the hands of the Father (this is) (Chorus) @SONG: Go There With You I know you've heard me say these words before But every time I say I love you the words mean something more I spoke them as a promise right from the start I said death would be the only thing that could tear us apart And now that you are standing on the edge of the unknown I love you means I'll be with you wherever you must go CHORUS I will take a heart whose nature is to beat for me alone And fill it up with you - make all your joy and pain my own No matter how deep a valley you go through I will go there with you And I will give myself to love the way Love gave itself for me And climb with you to mountaintops or swim a raging sea To the place where one heart is made from two I will go there with you I see it in your tears - you wonder where you are The wind is growing colder and the sky is growing dark Though it's something neither of us understands We can walk through this together if we hold each other's hand I said for better or worse I'd be with you So no matter where you're going I will go there too CHORUS I will take a heart whose nature is to beat for me alone And fill it up with you - make all your joy and pain my own No matter how deep a valley you go through I will go there with you BRIDGE I known sometimes I let you down But I won't let you go - we'll always be together (Chorus) @SONG: That's Paradise Jimmy and Mary were quite a pair back in their younger days They met a married in six weeks time and That was sixty years ago this May Four kids made a house a home and a love for Jesus kept them strong Now every morning at eight A..M.. Jimmy takes a drive through town He spends his days at Mary's side In a home for the old and broken down With a cane in his lap and a Bible in his hand He reads her stories about the promised land And with tears in their eyes they dream of a place Where everything changes in the light of Jesus' face and CHORUS That's paradise... Hey, that's paradise... When the life breaks through and the old's made new And the joy will never die, that's paradise In another corner of this world, met another man named Jim Told me how twenty years of running from God Had finally gotten the best of him He said all hope was gone and he wanted to die 'Cause what could God do with such a messed up guy So we talked about Jesus, God's love and His plan And when Jim walked away he was a brand new man and (Chorus) Now listen, Well I know the best remains to be seen In a place that's far beyond our wildest dreams But until we see heaven we've got Jesus' world That He'll never leave us and each prayer will be heard (Chorus) @SONG: Don't Let The Fire Die I can still feel the prayers you prayed for me all those years And I see now more than ever what a difference they have made And I can still hear your words spoken from a heart of great concern Saying keep your eyes on Jesus and love Him more than anything And I've watched the wind blow hard against you And I've seen your faith get weakened by the pain And I want you to know that I will be praying for you to hold on CHORUS Don't let the fire die The flame has been dimmed by the tears that you've cried But I can still see the spark of His love in your eyes So don't let the fire, please don't let the fire die This heavy weight you carry around Of letting yourself and everybody down Is pouring water on the passion that used to burn so bright Well I know you've got your reasons for resentment And I know it's more than I can understand So just let me say that I'm gonna be praying for you To let it all go CHORUS Don't let the fire die The flame has been dimmed by the tears that you've cried But I can still see the spark of His love in your eyes BRIDGE I'm not praying for the fire to burn the way it did before 'Cause I believe the one who started this flame in your heart He wants to give you more So don't let the fire die (Chorus) @SONG: Got To B Tru G-O-T-T-O-B-T-R-U Well normally at this point you'd hear me sing And I'd be doing that acoustic guitar thing So by now you're probably wondering what's going on 'Cause this is really starting to sound like one of those rap songs Well let me tell you what the boy's up to You see I like rap music and the beat box groove And sometimes I gotta admit I close all the doors And wave my arms around and I pace the floor But then I crack up laughing, I gotta stop And just face the facts the boy don't hip hop You see I grew up in a state where the grass is blue So if it's gonna be believable it's got to b tru CHORUS It's got to b tru I've gotta be living what I say I believe It's got to b tru even when nobody but Jesus is watching me It's got to b tru every single minute of every day If anybody's ever gonna look at me and say hey it's got to b tru You hear me saying that it's got to b tru And no my homeboy Toby wants to talk to you Tru check it out I got a next door neighbor And I can tell he's been watching my behavior Yo he's heard that I'm a Christian guy He wants to know if that's the truth or a lie He's got a list of reasons not to believe Like doubt, dissolution, hypocrisy It's gonna take some living proof to break through those walls Yea, it's got to b tru if he'll believe at all (Chorus) Whoa it's got to b tru, gotta let the light of Jesus' love come shining thru (Chorus) So yo (Chorus) It's got to b tru (3x) I gotta let the light of Jesus' love come shining thru (Chorus) G-O-T-T-O-B-T-R-U @SONG: Walk With The Wise I prayed a prayer for wisdom just like a farmer prays for rain 'Cause I know that I must have it to survive in this life And I stared out in the distance 'cause it seemed so far away And I waited for the lightning But the lightning and the thunder never came So I took a look beside me to my left and to my right And saw people full of wisdom all around in my life And it started to come clearer I began to understand That my prayer was being answered, it's all part of God's plan CHORUS If we walk with the wise we will grow wise ..wo ..wo If we walk in the light then our path will be bright I know There's someone who's already been where we must go In the light of what they've learned we find That we will grow wise if we walk with the wise I've learned to look for answers in those born before my time As I listen to them tell me what they've learned in their lives I talk to friends with understanding much deeper than my own And gain wisdom beyond measure I could never find alone (Chorus) BRIDGE One life can be a candle with wisdom as its fire And every life touches with its flame is set ablaze (Chorus) @SONG: Maria Maria -she's too young to understand, but old enough to fell the pain Of living where no love can grow with no hope for change Maria - her world is an angry place but she makes sure that scars don't show And with every hurt her tender heart is growing cold (but) CHORUS Who, who's gonna love Maria Who, who's gonna touch her with the tenderness she longs for Like a desert longs for rain She's got a hunger deep inside and with every tear she cries She wonders if there's someone out there somewhere Who's gonna love Maria (Maria) she looks in the mirror now and the little girl is gone But still the search for someone's love goes on and on for Maria But does anybody care or even notice her at all Is anyone listening close enough to hear her call (and who) CHORUS Who, who's gonna love Maria Who, who's gonna touch her with the tenderness she longs for Like a desert longs for rain She's got a hunger deep inside and with every tear she cries She wonders if there's someone out there BRIDGE Maria if you can hear me, please know that you're not forgotten Somebody's trying to get to you (Chorus 1) @SONG: Still Called Today There a hole the size of a cruel word In a wounded heart somewhere that's learning to hide the pain There's a thorn stuck in the conscience of Someone who spoke a word in anger And they can't wash away the stain, sorry's such a hard word to say CHORUS But while it's still called today, won't somebody make it right Before the day slips into night and the moments waste away While it is still called today, we've got to say the words That are longing to be heard 'cause tomorrow may be too late Go on and say what you need to say while it is still called today There's a girl who's waiting day after day To hear her daddy say "I love you," now the days have turned to years There's a wall that silence has turned to stone Between a man and woman, she's holding back the tears And he's holding on to his fears (Chorus) BRIDGE 'Cause there's a time when the sun goes down And the flowers are laid on the grave Will the tears that fall to the ground Be the tears of regret for the words someone didn't say (Chorus) @SONG: Heart's Cry This is my heart's cry I want to know the one who saved me and gave me life This is my heart's cry to be so close to Him that all my life becomes A testimony of my Savior's grace and love This is my heart's cry This is my heart's cry Much more than just a great desire - it's like a fire in me I hear my heart cry each time I think about the cross where Jesus died The cross should have been mine but His love broke through time And heard my heart's cry - he heard my heart's cry Now every other hope and dream is lost inside of this one thing To know the one who died for me and live my life for Jesus Christ Is my heart's cry (Instrumental) So let my life become a testimony of my Savior's grace and love Oh - this is my heart's cry - to stand before the Father one day And hear Him say well done - this is my heart's cry
