I Give You My Heart- MICHAEL W SMITH

I Give You My Heart Lyrics

This is my desire
To honor You
Lord with all my heart
I worship You
All I have within me
I give You praise
All that I adore is in You

Lord, I give You my heart
I give You my soul
I live for You alone
Every Breath I take
Every moment I'm awake
Lord, have Your way in me

I Can Hear Your Voice -MICHAEL W SMITH

I Can Hear Your Voice Lyrics

I'm in the river that flows from your throne
Water of Life
Water of Life
It Covers me and I breath again
Your love is breath to my soul

I can hear Your voice as You sing over me
It's Your song of Hope breathing life into me
I can feel Your touch as I come close to You
And it heals my heart
You restore and renew

I Believe In You Now -MICHAEL W SMITH

I Believe In You Now Lyrics

Once upon a time
I was faithless, strutting blind
Through the valley of the lost
So now you find it rather strange
When you hear me claim the name
Of the one who bears the cross, and I say

[Chorus]
I believe in You now
A new light is showing me how
I used to walk in the shadows of doubt
But I believe in you now

Will there ever come a day
When you follow in the way
Of the truth that sets you free?
To where the thunder of a voice
And the echo of a choice
Will bring you to your knees
No longer running through the night
A conversion to the light
Giving way to disbelief, and you say

[Chorus]

I Am Sure-MICHAEL W SMITH

I Am Sure Lyrics

Looking at the future
Who can tell you what is going on
It seems we have become the generation
Of wars and bombs
And the heart grows weak
And the fear grows strong
That the day may come and it may not be very long
And you want to run
But you don't know where
So where do you go
I know
And I tell you

[Chorus]
I am sure there will be a day
But it will not be like the nations say
The Lord will come when this life is through
And His deep desire is to be with you
Hearts will fly when the new world starts
And joy will rise like the morning star
God will meet every cry of the heart
And it's my prayer
I want you to be there

I like to think about the new creation
Things that God will do
So every now and then I stop and close my eyes
I enjoy the view
And the heart grows strong
And the fear grows weak
And I cannot wait for the new world to come to me
And while I dream
Oh, I pray for you
Cause He wants you to go
I know
And I tell you

[Chorus]

I Can Hear Your Voice-MICHAEL W SMITH

I Can Hear Your Voice Lyrics

I'm in the river that flows from your throne
Water of Life
Water of Life
It Covers me and I breath again
Your love is breath to my soul

I can hear Your voice as You sing over me
It's Your song of Hope breathing life into me
I can feel Your touch as I come close to You
And it heals my heart
You restore and renew

MICHAEL W SMITH-I Am Love

I Am Love Lyrics

I am not passers by, I am not a white lie
I am not left to die, I am love, I am love
I am not feeling sad, I am not a few fad
I am not quickly mad, I am love, I am love

You can try to hide, you can try to run
But you'll never run far enough
This is my flesh, this is my blood
And I am love
You can fly up high, You can dig down deep
You can flee to the west
You can flee to the east
But you can't escape what I've done
I am love

I am not standing by, i am not letting go
I am not leaving you, i am love, i am love
My blood feel like the rain
I did not bleed in vain
But from my veins
I am love

Human Spark-MICHAEL W SMITH

Human Spark Lyrics

God, for the life of me
I don't know why
We hurt each other
In the name of what is right.
God, for the life of me
I don't understand
Echos everyday of man's
Inhumanity to man.
Man's inhumanity to man.

[Chorus]
There's a river of sorrow
Running through my heart.
Through the long night I will follow
The glimmer in the dark.
Lord, you are the human spark.

God, for the life of me
I cannot explain
How people born of love
Lose their way to hate.
Oh, there's gotta be a better way.

[Chorus]

How To Say Goodbye-MICHAEL W SMITH

How To Say Goodbye Lyrics

Tell me when the time we had slipped away
Tomorrow turned to yesterday and I don't know how
Tell me what can stop this river of tears
It's been building up for years for this moment now

Here I stand arms open wide
I've held you close, kept you safe
Till you could fly

Tell me where the road ahead is gonna bend
And how to harness up the wind and how to say goodbye

Tell me why does following your dreams
Take you far away from me and I knew that it would

Tell me how to feel the space you left behind
And how to laugh instead of cry and how to say goodbye

Here I stand arms open wide
I've held you close, kept you safe
Till you could fly

Tell me where the road ahead is gonna bend
And how to harness up the wind and how to say goodbye

How Long Will Be Too Long -MICHAEL W SMITH

How Long Will Be Too Long Lyrics

(Tell me) How long will we grovel at the feet of wealth and power
(Tell me) How long will we bow down to that golden calf
How long will be too long
(Tell me) How long will we curtsy to the whims of new religion
How long will we water down the truth
'Til truth is no more
How long will be too long

[Chorus]
The power of faith and love
Can change the stuff we're made of
But still we wait
(Tell me) How long will be too long

(Tell me) How long will we drink from the chalice of indifference
Neither be hot or be cold
Can a sober soul know
How long will be too long

[Chorus]

Is there not more to us
Than cursed dust to dust
I feel my hope fading
How long will be too long

How long will be too long

(Tell me) How long will we travel from the ways that God intended
Won't it all tumble down if His holy wrath comes
How long will be too long

[Chorus]

The power of faith and love
Can change the stuff we're made of
When will it be too late
How long will be too long
How long will be too long
How long will be too long

Hey You It's Me -MICHAEL W SMITH

Hey You It's Me Lyrics

Hey you
Things to do
Live the life for faith and family
It's tough
With all that stuff
Filling your head
We know
The undertow
Could get us so we don't remember, but
Lest we ever
Lest we ever forget

Hey you, it's me
True lovers are we
Children under the sun
Two spirits in the name of One

Hey me
Got to be
Places to go and people there to see
No space
For back to base
And no time at all
We talk
Walk the walk
Run the race
And climb the ladder, but
If we ever
If we ever should fall

Sometimes the smoke clears
And I see things how they are
I see how we have come so far

Here I Am To Worship-MICHAEL W SMITH

Here I Am To Worship Lyrics

Light of the World
You stepped down into darkness
Open my eyes
Let me see
Beauty that made
This heart adore You
Hope of a life
Spent with You

[Chorus:]
Here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You're my God
You're altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me

King of all days
Oh, so highly exalted
Glorious in Heaven above
Humbly You came
To the earth You created
All for love's sake became poor

[Chorus]

I'll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross

[Chorus X2]

Here I Am-MICHAEL W SMITH

Here I Am Lyrics

There's a place where I can go
Where the angels hear me pray
"I want to change
Yes I need Your touch"
I'm waiting here for You

And I fall, at Your feet
I'll give it all, until the day we meet
Here I am
Ready to give up my life for the One
Ready to pour out my heart for the Son
Here I am

Here I come to Your threshing floor
Where the angels fear to tread
I'm waiting here for the King of love
And to hold the hands that bled

And I fall, at Your feet
I'll give it all, until the day we meet

[Repeat x 2]
Here I am
Ready to give up my life for the One
Ready to pour out my heart for the Son

Help You Find Your Way Lyrics-MICHSEL W SMITH

Help You Find Your Way Lyrics

It can be wise
Or it can be a paradox
To seek solace in your solitude
And when it feels
Like you're living in a box
You need someone who believes in you
A promise true when tried
I'll be right here by your side
So whenever your need be
Know that you can lean on me

Chorus:
I'll help you find your way
I'll help you find your way
When you're lost in all the madness
When you're blinded by your doubt
When you need someone to be there for you
I'll help you find your way

Don't keep your thoughts
Locked behind your cellar door
All shrouded in a mystery
Just let them out
That's what friends are for
To give without giving the "third degree"
No need to be ashamed
I've been through' it just the same
So when your path misleads
Know that you can call on me

[Chorus]

MICHAEL W SMITH-Hello, Goodbye Lyrics

Hello, Goodbye Lyrics

Where's the Navigator of your destiny?
Where is the Dealer of this hand?
Who can explain life and its brevity
Cause there is nothing here that I can understand

You and I have barely met
And I just don't want to let go of you yet

[Chorus]
Noah, hello, goodbye
I will see you on the other side
Noah, sweet child of mine
I will see you on the other side

And so I hold your tiny hand in mine
For the hardest thing I've ever had to face
Heaven calls for you before it calls for me
When you get there, save me a place

A place where I can share your smile
And I can hold you for more than just a while

[Chorus]

Healing Rain Lyrics-MICHAEL W SMITH

Healing Rain Lyrics

Healing rain is coming down
It's coming nearer to this old town.
Rich and poor, weak and strong
It's bringing mercy, it won't be long.
Healing rain is coming down
It's coming closer to the lost and found.
Tears of joy and tears of shame
Are washed forever in Jesus' name.

[Chorus]
Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher.
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain.

Lift your heads, let us return
To the mercy seat where time began.
And in your eyes I see the pain.
Come soak this dry heart with healing rain.
And only you, the son of man
Can take a leper and let him stand.
So lift your hands, they can be held
By someone greater, the Great I Am.

[Chorus]

Healing rain is falling down,
Healing rain is falling down,
I'm not afraid.
I'm not afraid.

Healing rain is coming down
It's coming nearer to this old town.
Rich and poor, weak and strong
It's bringing mercy, it won't be long.
Healing rain is coming down
It's coming closer to the lost and found.
Tears of joy and tears of shame
Are washed forever in Jesus' name.

[Chorus]
Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher.
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain.

Lift your heads, let us return
To the mercy seat where time began.
And in your eyes I see the pain.
Come soak this dry heart with healing rain.
And only you, the son of man
Can take a leper and let him stand.
So lift your hands, they can be held
By someone greater, the Great I Am.

[Chorus]

Healing rain is falling down,
Healing rain is falling down,
I'm not afraid.
I'm not afraid.

Hang On Lyrics-MICHAEL W SMITH

Hang On Lyrics

Let the tempest and the flood
Shake your soul and spill your blood
Like an old song
Keep hold'n on
Let the people laugh at you
Call you names and say you're through
Never let go
Keep hangin' on

Hang on, hang on
Can you hear me,
I'm gonna say it again
Hang on, hang on
Never giving up, no, never giving in

Hang on every hopeful word
Even when it seems absurd
Keep holdin' on
If you triumph when you fail
Keep your head when you prevail
Be a hero
Keep hangin' around

Hang on, hang on
Are you listening,
Let me say it again
Hang on, hang on
Never giving up, no,
Never giving in

Hand Of Providence-MICHAEL W SMITH

Hand Of Providence Lyrics

Providence, Providence
See it laying down the cornerstone
The Hand of Providence, it's evident
For we could never make it on our own
Apportioning the power
Weighing all that it entails
Giving us the fulcrum
And a balance to the scales

[Chorus]
Oh, the Hand of Providence
Is guiding us through choices that we make
Oh, the Hand of Providence
Is reaching out to help us on our way

Providence, ever since
Any thesis ever entered man
The Hand of Providence
Has been our best defense
Tho' his ways are sometimes hard to understand
From the dying of a heartbeat
To another soul reborn
From in between and circling
Our thoughts of love and war

[Chorus]

Greater Than We Understand -MICHAEL W SMITH

Greater Than We Understand Lyrics

Summer rains keep coming down
It’s about to swallow up this town
You get the feeling that there's trouble ahead
Folks say they've never seen
The river acting quite this mean
No one can stop it when it needs to be fed

Look at the river
The powerful river
Greater Than We Understand
Awesome in anger
Crazy with hunger
Dragging us under

[Chorus]
But you have the power
The power to heal us
Greater than we understand
Righteous in anger
Awesome with wonder
If we reach out for your hand
Yeah

To many years since the lava flow
This old mountain’s about to blow
Covering anything that gets in it's way
Not a lot that you can say or do
When the mountain wants to roll over you
But gather up the ones you love and start to pray

Look at the mountain
The powerful mountain
Greater than we understand
Awesome in anger
Crazy with hunger
Dragging us under

[Chorus]

Yeah x3

But you have the power
The power to heal us
Greater than we understand
Righteous in anger
Awesome with wonder
Greater than we understand
Yeah

As far as you or I can see
Hard times there will always be
Thank God for answers to the trouble ahead

Great Is The Lord-MICHAEL W SMITH

Great Is The Lord Lyrics

Great is the Lord,
He is holy and just
By His power we trust
In His love
Great is the Lord
He is faithful and true
By His mercy He proves
He is love

[Chorus]
Great is the Lord
And worthy of glory
Great is the Lord
And worthy of praise
Great is the Lord
Now lift up your voice
Now lift up your voice
Great is the Lord

He is holy and just
By His power we trust
In His love
Great is the Lord
He is faithful, and true
By His mercy He proves
He is love

And worthy of glory
Great are you Lord
And worthy of praise
Great are you Lord
I lift up my voice
I lift up my voice
Great are you Lord
Great are you Lord

Grace -MICHAEL W SMITH

Grace Lyrics

I was lost when ya found me here
You pulled me close and held me near
And I'm a fool but still you love
I'll be your fool for the king of love

He gave me wings so I could fly
And gave me a song to color the sky
And all I have is all from you
And all I want is all of you

It's grace, grace
I'm nothing without you
Grace, your grace
Shines on me

And there've been days when I've walked away
Too much to carry
Nothing left to say
Forgive me Lord when I'm weak and lost
You traded heaven for a wooden cross

And all these years you've carried me
You've been my eyes when I could not see
And beauty grows in the driving rain
Your ode of gladness in the times of pain

It's grace, your grace
I'm nothing without you
Grace, your grace
Your grace, your grace
I'm nothing without you
Grace, your grace
Shines on me oh yeah
Shines on me
Shines on me
I'm everything with you
Shines on me
Shines on me
It's your grace
Shines on me
Your grace

Your grace it shines on me
Your grace
Your grace
Shines on me
Shines on me
Your grace it shines on me
Your grace
It shines on me

Goin' Thru The Motions -MICHAEL W SMITH

Goin' Thru The Motions Lyrics

Actions have been justified
All is compromised
Looking for approval there
In someone else's eyes, oh
Dodging all you really are
Becomes your greatest task
Acting out your lonely part
You hide behind your mask

[Bridge]
Never true to yourself
Knowing well this is not like you
Fooling yourself
You're just living a lie

[Chorus]
Goin' goin'
Goin' through the motions
Goin' goin'
Goin' through the motions
Goin' goin'
Goin' through the motions
Goin' goin'
Goin' through the motions

Victim of the circumstance
Prisoner of the shame
But it's the double standard life
That keeps you in the game
Taken by your own disguise
But when it's wearing thin
You'll do anything it takes
To impress your friends

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

[Chorus]

Go West Young Man Lyrics-MICHAEL W SMITH

Go West Young Man Lyrics

I'm blazing a trail that leads to vice
So easily enticed
By darker means
When out of the wilderness of choice
I hear that one still voice
Call to me

[Chorus]
Go west young man
Go west young man
When the evil go east
Go west young man
Go west young man
Find a heart that's golden

Why must I wander like a cloud
Following the crowd
Well I don't know
But I'm asking for the will to fight
To wear the crown of life
And you say go

[Chorus]

The mind is weak the heart is frail
When it goes beyond the pale
So unwise

[Chorus]

Glorious Grace Lyrics-MICHAEL W SMITH

Glorious Grace Lyrics

Let us praise the One who chose us
Let us thank the One who knows us
Set apart, blameless in His sight
Through the Son, we have faith, we have life
To the praise of His glorious grace
May the God of our Lord, the Almighty Father
Give you wisdom and peace, His comforting spirit
That you may know His hope
You may know His riches
And you may know His mighty strength
To the praise of His glorious grace
To the praise of His glorious grace
Grace and peace to you through Jesus
Our deliverer receives us
Our hearts created for His word
Our salvation was spoken and we heard
To the praise of His glorious grace
May the God of our Lord, the Almighty Father
Give you wisdom and peace, His comforting spirit
That you may know His hope
But you may know His riches
You may know His mighty strength
To the praise of His glorious grace
To the praise of His glorious grace
Amen
Amen
Amen
Amen

Gloria-MICHAEL W SMITH

Gloria Lyrics

Angels we have heard on high
Sweetly singing o'er the pains
And the mountains in reply
Echo back their joyous strains
Gloria O Gloria in excelsis Deo

Come to Bethlehem and see
(Gloria O sing Gloria)
Him whose birth the angels sing
(Gloria O sing Gloria)
Come adore on bended knee
Christ the Lord the newborn King

Gloria O Gloria in excelsis Deo

Angels we have heard on high
(Gloria O sing Gloria)
Sweetly singing o'er the plains
(Gloria O sing Gloria)
Jesus Lord of heav'n and earth
With us sing our Savior's birth

Gloria O Gloria in excelsis Deo

Alleluia

Give It Away Lyrics-MICHAEL W SMITH

Give It Away Lyrics

She asked him for forever
And a promise that would last
He said, "Babe you know I love you
But I can't commit to that"
She said, "Love isn't love
'Till you give it away"

A father lived in silence
Saw his son become a man
There was a distance felt between them
Cause he could not understand
That love isn't love
'Till you give it away
You gotta give it away

[Chorus]
As we live
Moving side by side
May we learn to give
Learn to sacrifice

We can entertain compassion
For a world in need of care
But the road of good intentions
Doesn't lead to anywhere
Cause love isn't love
'Till you give it away
You gotta give it away

[Chorus]

Love is like a river
Flowing down from the giver of life
We drink from the water
And our thirst is no longer denied
You gotta give it away

[Chorus]

There was a man who walked on water
He came to set the people free
He was the ultimate example
Of what love can truly be
Cause his love was his life
And he gave it away
You gotta give it away

From Here On Lyrics-MICHAEL W SMITH

From Here On Lyrics

Michael W. Smith

You must have felt alone
Reaching through your doubt
But I never meant to close you out
While I was building dreams
You were building fears
And I was the cause of all those tears
But can I start over and break new ground?
I know I’ve let you down (oh babe...)

Do you feel the weight of the world
Heavy on your shoulders
Well, let my love take you down another road
And lighten up the load
From here on

Many were the times I failed to follow through
Of pieces of heaven I promised you
It wasn’t paradise, it wasn’t even close
And i hurt the one I love the most
And sorry could never be good enough
But I will make it up to you...

I know you feel the weight of the world
Heavy on your shoulders
Let my love take you down another road
And lighten up the load
From here on

Friends Lyrics-MICHAEL W SMITH

Friends Lyrics

Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
Can't believe the hopes he's granted
Means a chapter in your life is through
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say "Never"
Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long
To live as friends

With the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you'll live in
Is the strength that now you show
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

For You-MICHAEL W SMITH

For You Lyrics

Sittin' in the rain
Water on your brain
Got a hole in your boat
Trying to stay afloat
Has got you down
I've got a wind in my sail
Rubber boots and a pail
I'll throw you a line
Rest assured that I
Won't ever let you drown

[Chorus]
Cause when you're up against the wall
You know I'll be here for you, for you
When you rise and when you fall
I'll always be here for you, for you

When the plans you make
Fall through and take you
For a loop
Or some bird has flown the coop
And left you stranded
Just lean on me
And together you see
We'll carry the load
Even if we don't
Quite understand it

Fly To The Moon -MICHAEL W SMITH

Fly To The Moon Lyrics

Fly to the moon
Well, you could do it if you wanted to
Try flying high
The only limit is the endless sky
So, go on and fly to the moon

Live in the sun
You know your living has just begun
So much ahead
Don't let the night leave you for dead
So, come on, live in the sun

Fly to the moon
And when you find your wings I will celebrate with you
Watch you as you soar
Take the wishes that are yours
And let them fly you to the moon

Dream on a star
You can let it take you near or far
Feet on the ground
Don't let anybody hold you down
So, go on and dream on a star

Fly to the moon
And when you find your wings
I will celebrate with you
Watch you as you soar
Take the wishes that are yours
I know you can fly to the moon
You can do all things
I will celebrate with you
It's hard to let you go
Still, you have to go,
I know

So go on, fly to the moon
And as you spread your wings
I will celebrate with you
Hope we taught you good
Hope you know that if I could
I would fly away with you

Gotta take it all the way
When you follow dreams
Follow far
Flying high and away
You're flying all the way
To the moon

Everybody Free-MICHAEK W SMITH

Everybody Free Lyrics

The longing in my heart has stirred a faded memory
Of my young heart beating fast behind the willow tree
I was counting out loud, and I only peeked a time or two
And the only purpose in my life was finding you
Singing, "Ollie, ollie, everybody free!"
Now was I chasing you or were you chasing me?

We all grow up and put away our childhood games
But deep inside I wonder if we really change
'Cause I'm still seeking, though I've learned to hide so well
And I can still remember how it felt
Singing, "Ollie, ollie, everybody free!"
Will I ever find someone pursuing me?

And then you caught me by surprise
I found my tears are in your eyes
I hear my heart inside of you
At last I've found somebody who
Can free my soul
And love me too

I can't believe we hide so long and run so well
When all the while we're aching to be caught and held
But it's only in surrender that our freedom comes
And so I run abandoned to your waiting arms
Singing "Ollie, ollie, everybody free!"
I belong to you and you belong to me!

Singin' "Ollie, ollie, everybody free

Escape Your Love-MICHAEL W SMITH

Escape Your Love Lyrics

It's like staring at the sky above
When I look in your eyes
Now where in the world did you come from?
You're so beautiful and I know
Oh, I can't escape your love
Escape your love, escape your love
I can't escape your love

Escape your love, escape your love
Every time I turn around you're there
I get a feeling that won't go away
Nothing else in this whole world compares
You're surrounding me and I know
That I can't escape your love
Escape your love, escape your love

I can't escape your love
Escape your love, escape your love
And in the righteous crowd
Your face is all I see
I hope you know by now
That I just can't escape, yeah
Oh, I can't escape your love
Escape your love, escape your love
Oh, I can't escape your love
Escape your love, escape your love
Oh, I can't escape your love
Escape your love, escape your love, oh yeah, ye

End Of The Book-BY MICHAEL W SMITH

End Of The Book Lyrics

On the day
You were saved
Heaven and hell marked you down
Angels praise
Devils raged
Life became a battleground
So when hell starts to move
And the enemy marches on you
Hang on, it's a fight
You've been marked by the army of night
You're a target

When your heart
Loved the dark
Hell could just leave you alone
With your life
Filled with light
You have become quite a foe

So when hell starts to move
And the enemy marches on you
Hang on, it's a fight
It's a battle of darkness and light

[Chorus:]
When things get bad and you can't stand to look
It's time to read to the end of the book
Don't put it down 'til you get to the end
When Jesus come and His Kingdom begins
'Til He comes
God the Son
Teaches us to use the sword
And every fight
Has a light
When you know we win the war

So when hell starts to move
And the enemy marches on you
Hang on, it's a fight
You're a part of the army of light

Emily-MIHAEL.W.SMITH

Emily Lyrics

Caught, in an endless time
Waiting for a sign
To show you where to go
Lost, in a silent stare
Looking anywhere
For answers you don't know

[Chorus:]
On the wire
Balancing your dreams
Hoping ends will meet their means
You feel alone
Uninspired
Well does it help you to
Know that I believe in you
You're an angel waiting for wings...Emily

You, going through this stage
It's a restless age
Young and insecure
Sill, there are doubts to fade
Moments to be made
And one of them is yours

[Chorus]

On the wire
Balancing your dreams
Hoping ends will meet their means
But you feel alone
Uninspired
Oh does it help you to
Know that I believe in you
You're an angel waiting for wings
Oh, you're an angel waiting for wings...Emily

Eagles Fly-MICHAEL.W.SMITH

Eagles Fly Lyrics

I will run and not be weak
Hope has come
Renewed my strength
I have found what I did seek
And I'm ready to fly

All forgiven, all forgot
Heaven waits beyond the plot
Swing low, sweet chariot
Yes, I'm ready to fly

Father come to save my soul
Father come to
Make me whole
There was a price
He paid the toll
Gave me freedom to fly

And every battle, every war
You will be my shield and my sword
You know I'm waiting on You Lord
You give me freedom to fly

Watch the eagles fly
Gonna set your feet on high
On the wind, like a dove
Go on and fly
In the shadow of love

Fly, gonna fly

Yes, I'm watching you fly
He set your feet on high
On the wind, like a dove
Go on and fly
In the shadow of love

Draw Me Close-MICHAEL.W.SMITH

Draw Me Close Lyrics

Draw me close to you
Never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear you say that I'm your friend
You are my desire
No one else will do
'Cause nothing else can take your place
To feel the warmth of your embrace
Help me find the way
Bring me back to you

You're all I want
You're all I've ever needed
You're all I want
Help me know you are near

Don't Give Up-MICHAEL.W.SMITH

Don't Give Up Lyrics

I remember when you took a stand
With the pearl of wisdom in your hand
And a soul of desire
You hold your own up against the world
A lion's heart in a little girl
So unafraid of the fire

But those days don't last
Sweet dreams die fast
A stumble when you walk on the wire
When all your friends
Start giving in
The flames are burning higher and higher

[Chorus]
Don't give up, Andrea
Got the whole world at your feet
Just keep on holding on
This is where you need to be

All the days that you've been spending
Spinning while your heart's descending
Like a stone in the ocean
Sometimes when you think the world is ending
It's really just a new beginning
The other side of emotion

But I've seen your eyes
No compromise
When you set your mind on the matter
Be strong through the tears
And your sight will clear
You're gonna get what you're after

Do You Dream Of Me-MICHAEL.W.SMITH

Do You Dream Of Me Lyrics

Dreams within the still of night
On wings of hope take flight inside of me
There upon some distant shore
We want for nothing more than what will be
And you and I, here we are
I wonder as we've come this far

If I could only read your mind
Tell me the answer I would find
Do you dream of me?
And when you're smiling in your sleep
Beyond the promises we keep
Do you dream of me?

Love has found a magic space
A deep and hidden place where time stands still
Now I hold you in my arms
You know you hold my heart and always will

And you and I, here we are
And it's a wonder that we've come this far.

And after all that we've been through
You've leaned on me, I've leaned on you
Do you dream of me?
And when you're smiling in your sleep
Beyond the promises we keep
Do you dream of me?

If I could only read your mind
Tell me the answer I would find
Do you dream of me?
And when you're smiling in your sleep
Beyond the promises we keep
Do you dream of me?
And after all that we've been through
You've leaned on me, I've leaned on you.
Do you dream of me?

You know you hold my heart and always will

Crown Him With Many Crowns Lyrics

Crown Him with many crowns,
The lamb upon the throne:
Hark! How the heav'nly anthem drowns
All Music but its own!
Awake, my soul, and sing
Of Him who died for thee,
And hail him as thy matchless King
Through all eternity.
Crown Him with many crowns
Crown Him with many crowns

Crown Him the Lord of Heav'n:
One with the Father known.
One with the Spirit through Him giv'n
From yonder glorious throne.
To Thee be endless praise.
For Thou hast died for me;
Be Thou, O Lord, through endless days
Adored and magnified

Adored and magnified
Crown Him with many crowns

His glories now we sing,
Who died and rose on high,
Who died eternal life to bring
And, lives that death may die.

Cry For Love Lyrics-MICHAEL.W.SMITH

Cry For Love Lyrics

My life is like a racing car hurtling towards the wall
At the speed of sound
My time has been so finely tuned
But I've never seen a human being so tightly wound
At times it seems beyond belief
I just need a bit of relief
Like a war-weary soldier
Marching up and over the edge
Take my hand and pull me up cause I'm falling too fast
Somehow I've lost my way - I'm cryin' save me

Chorus
Can you hear me...I'm calling out
I'm crying out...a cry for love
I can feel you...you're touching me
You healing me...my cry for love

I will be the first to admit
I don't have the strength to handle it alone anymore
I don't have to fret, don't have to explain
All my worrying's in vain
I'm not alone anymore

Why is this so hard to believe
What is mine is mine to freely receive
Like the changing of seasons
This is the beauty of the word
And for all that I have seen and heard
Oh I want to come home
Somehow I'll make my way - my way home to you

Chorus

Bridge:
Oh Father hear my call (Oh Father hear my call)
I know you'll catch me when I fall
Oh Father hear my call
I know you'll catch me when I fall
Oh I pray that you'll hold me now
Hold me
And take my fear away

I'm cryin' save me
Oh I know that you can hear me
Hear me crying out for love
Oh I know that you can feel my cry for love...ooh...

I can feel you - you're calling out
You're crying out - a cry for love
I can feel you - you're touching me
You're healing me - my cry for love

Cross My Heart -MICHAEL.W.SMITH

Cross My Heart Lyrics

Ink and paper, epic offers
Glass moon waltzing on the waters
Horse and carriage
I am courting the marriage
Of dreams in the wings
Of visions unseen

[Chorus]
Cross my heart
Only your love will do
Cross my heart over you
Cross my heart
There is room enough for two
Cross my heart over you, over You

Spellbound, you've take me under
Gold and diamond
Ever saying that I'm in this forevermore
You can be sure

Could He Be The Messiah-MICHAEL.W.SMITH

Could He Be The Messiah Lyrics

Been here for days, I'm amazed (at) this teacher, carpenter, preacher
Lost in the crowd, I hear him now, He's praying and He's saying, "God feed them all"
Five-thousand men, all of His friends are worried find bread and hurry
Five loaves and fish, what can He wish, He's praying still He's saying, "God feed them all"

[Chorus]
Could He be the Messiah?
Miracle man, part of the plan
Could He be the Messiah?
Life in His hand,
I understand He could be

Meet for our needs fully He feeds our hunger older and younger
Twelve baskets more, can we ignore, He shows us that He knows us, is He the Christ?
God in His eyes, I realize His power, need of the hour
Jesus is His name, they say He came to feed us and to receive us, is He the Christ?

[Chorus]

It is He the Messiah!
Miracle man, part of the plan
It is He the Messiah!
Life in His hand
I understand it is He

Color Blind-MICHAEL.W.SMITH

Color Blind Lyrics

There's not a world of difference
Out in the world tonight
Between this world of people
Red, Yellow, Black and White
But instead of riding a rainbow of love
We still are fighting with prejudice gloves
Of anger
With something to claim
But nothing to gain so

[Chorus]
Why can't we be color blind
You know we should
Be living together
And we'd find a reason and rhyme
I know we would
Cause we could see better
If we could be color blind

Somebody's just assuming
He's up to nothing good
Cause he's not like the others
There goes the neighborhood
What kind of world are we living in
When we judge a man by the tone of his skin
It's crazy
Cause he has a heart
Like you have a heart and

[Chorus]

It'd be so fine
To be color blind
To open our eyes
And see color blind

I know this world would be a better place
The only race would be the human race
All of those barriers would be erased
Why can't we be color blind

Christmastime -MICHAEL.W.SMITH

Christmastime Lyrics

[Chorus]
Ring Christmas bells
Ring them loud with the message bringing
Peace on the earth
Tidings of good cheer
Come carolers
Come and join with the angels singing
Joy to the world
Christmastime is here again

Children gather around and listen
You'll hear the sound
Of angels filling the sky
Telling everyone
Christmas time is here

[Chorus]

Loved ones close to our hearts
and strangers in lands afar
Together share in the joy
Emmanuel
He has come to dwell
With one voice
Let the world rejoice

Christmas Waltz -MICHAEL.W.SMITH

Christmas Waltz Lyrics

Frosted window panes
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree

Santa's on his way
He's filled his sleigh with things
Things for you and for me

It's that time of year
When the world falls in love
Every song you hear seems to say

Merry Christmas
May your New Year's dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too!

Frosted window panes
(See them gleaming)
Candles gleaming inside
Painted candy canes on the tree
Just look and you'll see

Santa's on his way
(That's why sleigh bells are ringing)
He's filled his sleigh
(And that's why we're all singing)
With things
Things for you and for me

It's that time of year
(Time for falling)
When the world falls in love
(So in love)
Every song you hear seems to say

Merry Christmas
May your New Year's dreams come true
And this song of mine
In three quarter time
Wishes you and yours
The same thing too!

Christmas Day-MICHAEL.W.SMITH

Christmas Day Lyrics

Snow covered rooftops
Lights on the trees
The sound of singing
I hear down every street

Families have gathered
From miles away
Oh, Merry Christmas
It's Christmas day

You see that old tree
Down Cotton Lane
Those lights keep shining
It's always the same

We hear the church bells
Ring out to say
Oh, Merry Christmas
It's Christmas day
Oh, Merry Christmas
It's Christmas day

Swing the lights and hang the stockings
Decorate with green and red
Made the cookies for old Santa
Made a runway for his sled

Singing carols on a sleigh ride
Gather 'round the manger scene
Open presents, read the letter
And together we will sing

Oh, Merry Christmas
Joy to the world
For every nation
For every boy and girl

Let's light a candle
For peace we pray
Oh, Merry Christmas
It's Christmas day
It's Christmas day
It's Christmas day

Let's light a candle
For peace we pray
Oh, Merry Christmas
It's Christmas day
Oh, Merry Christmas
It's Christmas day

Celebrate and sing Hallelujah
Raise the banner, dance and rejoice

Child In The Manger Lyrics

Child in the manger, Infant of Mary
Outcast and stranger, Lord of all
Child who inherits
All our transgressions
All our demerits on Him fall

Once the most holy
Child of salvation
Genlty and lowly,lived below

Prophets foretold Him
Infant of wonder
Angels behold Him On His throne
Worthy our Savior
Of all our praises
Happy forever
Are His own

Carols sing to the King
Jesus Christ our Saviour
Born this day, angels say
In a lowly manger
He came down to the earth
Bringing us new birth
Carols sing to the King
Jesus Christ our Saviour

Tidings bring! Hail the King!
Shepherds did adore Him
From afar, by the star
Wise men sought and found Him
Son of God, Son of Man
All in all I see
Carols raise His name praise
He shall reign eternally
Carols sing to the King
Jesus Christ our Saviour

Calling Heaven-MICHAEL.W.SMITH

Calling Heaven Lyrics

[Chorus:]
Calling heaven
Seeking mercy
Tell me there's a place for these
What of the children who have never felt a love
Tender as the morning
Nursing the bruises
And the scars that never seem to go away

What of the babies who have never left the womb
Breathing in the lifeline
Angels in waiting
Gone before they could be given wings to fly

[Chorus]

What of the noble who are searching for the truth
With truest of intentions
And yet they're jaded by
Hypocrisies behind cathedral walls

What of the humble and the meek that knew despair
And never got their moment
But sacrificed a life of comfort
So that others knew no pain

[Chorus]

What of the ones who call you Lord
But play the field
with faithless indecision
Forgive us father for we truly
Do not know what we have done

Bridge Over Troubled Water -MICHAEL.W.SMITH

Bridge Over Troubled Water Lyrics

When you're weary feeling small
When tears are in your eyes I'll dry them all all
I'm on your side oh when times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

When you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you ooh
I'll take your part oh when darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
Oh if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind
Yeah yeah

Breathe In Me -MICHAEL.W.SMITH

Breathe In Me Lyrics

You breathe in me and I'm alive
With the power of Your holiness
You breathe in me and You revive
Feelings in my soul that I've laid to rest

So breathe in me, I need You, now
I've never felt so dead within
So breathe in me, maybe somehow
You can breathe new life in me again

I used to be so sensitive
To the light that leads to where You are
Now I've acquired these callouses
With the darkness of a cold and jaded heart

So breathe in me, I need You, now
I've never felt so dead within
So breathe in me, maybe somehow
You can breathe new life in me again

So breathe in me, I need You, now
I've never felt so dead within
So breathe in me, maybe somehow
You can breathe new life in me again

Breathe -MICHAEL.W.SMITH

Breathe Lyrics

This is the air I breathe
This is the air I breathe
Your holy presence living in me

This is my daily bread
This is my daily bread
Your very word spoken to me

And I I'm desperate for you
And I I'm lost without you

Breakdown-MICHAEL.W.SMITH

Breakdown Lyrics

Wasn't it long ago
Wasn't it on a New England coast
Wasn't it the standard - people praying to
The Son and the Father and the Holy Ghost
One nation over God
Is that what we've now become?
The founding fathers left a noble legacy
To their sons and daughters
To their sons and daughters
Look at what we've done
Look at what we've done

Chorus:
Breakdown, breakdown, breakdown
As we learn to bite the hand
That tries to feed us
Breakdown, breakdown, breakdown
If we say that we are free
Who will believe us
If we breakdown, breakdown, breakdown
Breakdown, break

See the powder on the glass
See the pillow on the street
See the charter of a modern love
With no obligations...or promises to meet

Hear the fear of disease
Hear the baby never born
Hear a people crying out
"Somebody save us - oh, please somebody save us
From what we're headed for - from what we're headed for"

[Chorus]

Breakdown, breakdown, breakdown
As we learn to bite the hand
That tries to feed us
Breakdown, breakdown, breakdown

[Chorus]

Be Strong & Courageous-MICHAEL.W.SMITH

Be Strong & Courageous Lyrics

Words:deborah d. smith
Music: michael w. smith

My servant, now your time has come
You have a job to do
I have a people to be led
And a willing heart in you
So I give you strength and courage
And Ill hide you in my hand
For joshua, you gotta live for your call
Take my people to their land
Chorus:
So be strong and courageous
So be strong and courageous
You know you gotta be strong and courageous
So be strong and courageous

Never should you fear my call
Just listen and obey
Discouragement need never fall
Stand on the words I say
You know I led your fathers here
And you know Ill lead you too
Inscribe my law into your soul
And nothing will touch you.

Chorus

Be Lifted High-MICHAEL.W.SMITH

Be Lifted High Lyrics

Sin and its ways grow old
All of my heart turns to stone
And I'm left with no strength to arise
How You need to be lifted high
Sin and its ways lead to pain
Left here with hurt and with shame
So no longer will I leave Your side
Jesus, You'll be lifted high
You'll be lifted high, You'll be lifted high
You'll be lifted high in my life, oh God
And I fall to my knees, so it's You that they see not I
Jesus, You'll be lifted high
And even now that I'm inside Your house
Help me not to grow prideful again
Don't let me forsake sacrifice
Jesus, You'll be lifted high
And if I'm blessed with the riches of kings
How could I ever feel that it was me?
For You brought me from darkness to light
Jesus, You'll be lifted high
You'll be lifted high, You'll be lifted high
You'll be lifted high in my life, oh God
And I fall to my knees, so it's You that they see not I
And Jesus, You'll be lifted high
Oh Jesus, You'll be lifted high, oh, You'll be lifted high
Oh, You'll be lifted high in my life, oh God
And I fall to my knees, so it's You that they see not I
Jesus, You'll be lifted high, yeah, yeah

Awesome God Lyrics-MICHAEL.W.SMITH

When He rolls up His sleeves
He ain't just putting on the ritz
There's thunder in His footsteps
And lightning in His fists
The Lord wasn't joking
When He kicked 'em out of Eden
It wasn't for no reason
That He shed His blood
His return is very close
And so you better be believing that
Our God is an awesome God

Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God

And when the sky was starless
In the void of the night
(God is an awesome God)
He spoke into the darkness
And created the light
(God is an awesome God)
Judgement and wrath He poured out on Sodom
Mercy and grace He gave us at the cross
I hope that we have not
Too quickly forgotten that
Our God is an awesome God

Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God

Our God is an awesome God
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God

Our God is an awesome God (Our God is an awesome God)
He reigns from heaven above
With wisdom, power, and love
Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God (Our God is an awesome God)
He reigns from heaven above (He reigns)
With wisdom, power, and love (With wisdom and power)
God is an awesome God

Our God is an awesome God
Our God is an awesome God

Away In A Manger Lyrics-MICHAEL.W.SMITH

Away In A Manger Lyrics

Away in a manger, no crib for a bed
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down his sweet head
The stars in the sky
Look down where he lay
The little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay

The cattle are lowing
Poor baby awakes
The little Lord Jesus
No crying he makes
I love the Lord Jesus
Look down from the sky
And stay by my craddle
Till morning is nigh

Be near me Lord Jesus
I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever
And love me I pray
Bless all the dear children
From thy tender care
And take us to heaven
To live with thee there.

Anthem For Christmas Lyrics-MICHAEL.W.SMITH

Anthem For Christmas Lyrics

In the space of the beginning
Was the living Word of Light
When this Word was clearly spoken
All that came to be was right
All creation had a language
Words to say what must be said
All day long the heavens whispered
Signing words in scarlet red

Some failed to understand it
So God spoke His final Word
On a silent night in Judah's
Hills a baby's cry was heard

"Glory!" sang the angel chorus
"Glory!" echoed back the night
Love has come to walk among us
Christ the Lord is born this night

All creation sing His praises
Earth and heaven praise His name
All who live come join the chorus
Find the words His love proclaim

Find the words His love proclaim

ANNA-MICHAEL.W.SMITH

Anna Lyrics

Jack is in the corner
The dish is with the spoon
The sheep is in the meadow
The cow is on the moon
But I am here with you and I believe
There's no other place I'd rather be
And a promise not to leave you
Is a promise I can keep

You're my muse
You're my rhyme
You're the fire warming this heart of mine
When you hear me say "I love you"
Anna, do you know how much I do?

So I watch you from a distance
Getting lost within your world
You pretend to be a princess
As you flutter and you twirl
Fragile as the flower in your hair
Dancing in your castle, unaware
That a single day without you
Would be more than I could bear

Little Anna, little star
That is what you really are
Cross my heart and hope to die
You're the apple of my eye

Angels Unaware-MICHAE.W.SMITH

Angels Unaware Lyrics

Maybe there's a light in my soul
Maybe it flickers like a neon sign
Outside an abandoned hotel

Maybe there are things you just can't know
But can you say there are no mysteries
In that house you choose to dwell?
Maybe we are entertaining angels unaware

Maybe there's a place where we will fly
But some, say God is dead like Nietzsche said
And faith has made me a fool

But maybe there is more than meets the eye
Who's that stranger, there, beside you?
Don't be smug and don't be cruel
Maybe we are entertaining angels unaware

Battles of the heart and of the mind
We stay caught in mental purgatory
'Til our existence can be defined

Meanwhile on the shores of parallel
There may be a holy conference held somewhere
Discussing all mankind
Maybe we are entertaining angels unaware

I say maybe we are entertaining angels unaware
Angels unaware

Longing, reaching
Searching, knowing
Loving, caring

Let me take you by the hand
Lead you to the Promised Land
And trust Him with your heart
He'll lead you home

Let me take you by the hand
Lead you to the Promised Land
And trust Him with your heart
He'll lead you home

Let me take you by the hand
Lead you to the Promised Land
Trust Him with your heart
He'll lead you home

Let me take you by the hand
Lead you to the Promised Land
And trust Him with your heart
He'll lead you home

Soaring, somewhere
Longing, reaching
Searching, knowing
Loving, caring

Soaring, somewhere

Ancient Words -MICHAEL.W.SMITH

Ancient Words Lyrics

Holy words long preserved
For our walk in this world,
They resound with God's own heart
Oh, let the Ancient words impart.

Words of Life, words of Hope
Give us strength, help me cope
In this world, where e'er we roam
Ancient words will guide us Home.

[Chorus]
Ancient words ever true
Changing me, and changing you.
We have come with open hearts
Oh let the ancient words impart.

Holy words of our Faith
Handed down to this age.
Came to us through sacrifice
Oh heed the faithful words of Christ.

Holy words long preserved
For our walk in this world.
They resound with God's own heart
Oh let the ancient words impart.

[Chorus:Repeat x4]

We have come with open hearts
Oh let the ancient words impart.

Amazing Love-MICHAEL.W.SMITH

Amazing Love Lyrics

My steps were wandering
My lips were hungry
My heart was thundering
For something more than all those things

My words were crying out
My faith was darkened out
My life lost without
This one amazing love

Washing over me like rain
Conquering the fear and pain
My broken path was not in vain
Glory Hallelujah, glory Hallelujah
Glory Hallelujah, glory Hallelujah

Washing over me like rain
Taking all the fear and pain
My broken path was not in vain
Glory Hallelujah, glory Hallelujah

I lift my blinded eyes
Towards the souls denied
And saw the One who died
For one amazing love
Hallelujah

One amazing love
Just one amazing love
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Just one amazing love
Just one amazing love

Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) -MICHAEL.W.SMITH

Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone) Lyrics

Amazing grace
How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

[Chorus]
My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy rains
Unending love, Amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures

[Chorus: x2]

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God, Who called me here below
Will be forever mine
Will be forever mine
You are forever mine

All You're Missing Is A Heartache-MICHAEL.W.SMITH

All You're Missing Is A Heartache Lyrics

It's over the line - a shadow of doubt
From outside looking at the "In Crowd"
(Tempting voices are calling you)
They look mighty fine - a sight to behold
But all that glitters is not gold
(Still those voices are calling you)

(CHORUS)
All your missin' is a heartache
A disillusion for a keepsake
A life of living with your own mistake
All you're missin' in a heartache

The water is high - you're out on a limb
Well, if you take the fall then it's "sink or swim"
(Clouds of reason will follow you)
You're kissing the dark
You're courting your pride
You wonder is it greater on the other side
(But they have nothing to offer you)

(CHORUS)

All Year Long-MICHAEL.W.SMITH

All Year Long Lyrics

This Christmas season I wish you joy
The wonder in every girl and boy
I wish you gladness, the one [Incomprehensible]
Have good friends and family gathered near
May children's laughter in falling snow
Rekindle those sweet scenes from long ago
May every carol, each candle bright
Remind you why angels sang that night
If trouble finds you, this is my prayer
May peace come into your hearts and make you strong
And I wish you luck, the kind to last all year long

All Is Well-MICHAEL.W.SMITH

Born is now Emmanuel
Born is our Lord and Savior
Sing Alleluia
Sing Alleluia

All In The Serve -MICHAEL.W.SMITH

All In The Serve Lyrics

Never gave you nothin'
People couldn't explain away
Never gave you nothin'
Without something to gain
Never could slow down enough
To study a face, but now
I wanna know your name

[Chorus]
Hold my feet to the fire
'Til I'm breaking a sweat
'Til I never forget
Your calling
Keep me on the line
Give me the nerve
Here it's all in the serve

Locked in the diamond lane
I kept driving past it
Better to be safe than learn
What you're about
Give me another chance
To go where you're going now
I'm here to walk it out
I'm here to walk it out
I'm here to walk it out

[Chorus: x2]

It's all in the serve
It's all in the serve
Here it's all in the serve

All I Need To Say-MICHAEL.W.SMITH

All I Need To Say Lyrics

Words & music:gary chapman, amy grant, and michael w. smith
Sad goodbye
Never quite got said
Now the time is gone
We're movin' on
Even though it hurts so bad
If I could I'd turn back the days
And I'd love again
To be your friend
In a hundred different ways
But we can't turn back the time
The days

Chorus:
So if I never said
All I needed to say
I'll say it now
You know I loved you once
I love you stronger today
Please love find me a way
Words I still need to say
But I don't know how
Can't stand still
Still I can't move on
Lord I need your strength
Need you in me
'cause a part of me is gone
In time I will know
What I've yet to see
That through all the pain
You hurt the same
And you're standing here with me
And more than anything it's you I need
Chorus

All About You-MICHAEL.W.SMITH

All About You Lyrics

When the music fades
And all is stripped away
And I simply come
Longing just to bring
Something that's of worth
That will bless your heart

I'll bring you more than a song
For a song in itself, is not what you have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
You're looking into my heart

(Chorus)
I'm coming back to the heart of worship
And it's all about you, it's all about you Jesus
I'm sorry Lord, for the thing I've made it
When it's all about you, it's all about you Jesus

King of endless worth
No one could express
How much you deserve
Though I'm weak and poor
All I have is yours
Every single breath

I'll bring you more than a song
For a song in itself, is not what you have required
You search much deeper within
Through the way things appear
Your looking into my heart

(Chorus)

MICHAEL.W.SMITH-ABOVE ALL

Above all powers
Above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began

Above all kingdoms
Above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth

Crucified
Laid behind the stone
You lived to die
Rejected and alone

Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all

Above all powers
Above all kings
Above all nature and all created things
Above all wisdom and all the ways of man
You were here before the world began

Above all kingdoms
Above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known

You took the fall
And thought of me
Above all

MICHAEL.W.SMITH-A WAY

A Way

Caught in a dream of where I want to be wrapped in a web of where I am
I feel a wall between what is and what should be
You find me waiting for a miracle You hear me praying for a plan
You are the only one prepared to rescue me

Then You take away the distance found between the truth and me
And You give a simple reason to my restless rhyme
Whoa, hide me in the heaven You have held within your hand
And make a way to find a way to soothe my mind

There is a way that might seem right to me
A dim reflection of what's good just an illusion of the best that I can be
But there's another path You offer me I wish I always understood
Some way You see right through my thoughts and know my needs

Then You take away the distance found between the truth and me
And You give a simple reason to my restless rhyme
Whoa, hide me in the heaven You have held within your hand
And make a way to find a way to soothe my mind
Please come soothe my mind

You alway take away the distance found between the truth and me
And You give a simple reason to my restless rhyme
And You hide me in the heaven You have held within your hand
You always make a way to find a way to soothe my mind

Yeah, You take away the distance found between the truth and me
And You give a simple reason to my restless rhyme
And You hide me in the heaven You have held within your hand
You always make a way to find a way to soothe my mind

Yeah, You take away the distance found between the truth and me
And You give a simple reason to my restless rhyme
And You hide me in the heaven You have held within your hand
You always make a way to find a way to soothe my mind

MICHAEL.W.SMITH-A Little Stronger Everyday

I was throwin' away what I needed most
It was the Father, Son and the Holy Ghost
A little carnal knowledge is a dangerous thing
It'll eat a hole in the brain
I'd be the biggest fool in the whole universe
To trade a heavenly blessing for a worldly curse
I was a weaker man 'til I made my stand
Now I am here to make a change

[Chorus:]
I'm running blind on the wheels of faith
(I'm) moving to the beat of a heart that prays
(And) hangin' on every word you said
I get a little stronger every day


[Chorus ]

[Bridge:]
Gettin' strong, a stronger now, every day
Gettin' strong, a stronger now, every day
I'm getting stronger
