Welcome to the Circus

Welcome to the circus
welcome to the stage
we're about to raise the curtain
will you step into my cage?
we're looking for a volunteer
are you equal to the task?
if you don't want to face the music
you can always wear a mask

sometimes you're a sinner
sometimes you're a saint
you make it look so easy
by the picture that you paint
it all depends who's watching you
how you will perform anyone can see
it's just the calm before the storm

but you won't get far
if you don't know who you are
who are you?
who will you be tonight?

but you won't get far
if you don't know who you are
who are you?
who will you be tonight?

sometimes you're the strongman
you're so good at playing the clown
but once the spotlight finds you
it's too late to turn around;
you can trick us with your painted smile
we'll all join in the fun
but when you face the music
don't you know you're on your own

but you won't get far
if you don't know who you are
who are you?
who will you be tonight, tonight?

but you won't get far
if you don't know who you are
who are you?
who will you be tonight?


Take Me Home

I walked away
blinded by my tears
will this be the last time?
so many wasted years

I stood alone
felt the wind across my face
carry me away from here
lose me without a trace

the night is young
oh there's time enough to lose
roll on fast tomorrow
tonight I can't refuse

in the distance - feet approaching
every moment coming closer
suddenly a hand upon my shoulder
then I turn to face You
FATHER!

I've been waiting I'm waiting now
I've been praying I'm praying now
I've been pleading - I'm pleading now
son, come home

I turned away
felt the sorrow in Your gaze
don't know which direction now
I've tried a million ways

Father, how I long to
if You'd only show me how
the fire once burned within me
and now it hardly glows

feel Your breath upon me
feel it moving deep inside
then a fire begins to kindle
and the flames they creep up high

and I cry Father
oh Father - forgive me now
I've been running - I'm turning now
I've been dying - I'm living now
take me home


The Tongue is a Fire

You can kill your enemy with bullets
yet it strikes me as absurd
that to lay low your foe you need a weapon
but you slay your friend with just a word

be careful what you say when you are angry
your tongue can cause such pain
and 'sorry' can't undo the damage
once spoken it can't return again

the tongue is a fire - tongue is a flame
tongue is a curse - tongue is a game
tongue is a knife - leaves you to bleed
tongue is a fire - tongue is your deeds
watch when it burns


have you beard the whispers going round the town
"oh she didn't? yes , she did oh my"
you don't have to help that rumour get around

I don't believe a word of it - but I must tell so and so
just what I thought , wait till you hear what I heard..."
watch what you say, the flames could burn you down

the tongue is a fire - tongue is a flame
tongue is a curse - tongue is a game
tongue is a knife - leaves your to bleed
tongue is a fire - tongue is you deeds
fire - flame
a curse - a game
tongue is a knife - leaves you to bleed
tongue is a fire - tongue is your deeds
watch when it burns


Only Jesus

Who's gonna mend my broken heart
who's gonna give me a brand new start
and when the rocky road is tough
whose love's gonna be enough?

who's gonna turn my night to day
who's the star that lights my way
who understands just how I feel
fills my heart and makes me real?

only Jesus
only Jesus
only You Lord could wash me,
heal me, save me

only Jesus
only Jesus
only You Lord could wash me,
heal me, save me

who'll be the rock to which I cling
who's the reason that I sing
when I was blind and dead and lost
who met the price , who paid the cost

who reaches out and helps me stand
who's gorma. take me by the hand
and when I feel all hope is gone
who lifts me up and leads me on?

only Jesus
only Jesus
only You Lord could wash me,
heal me, save me

only Jesus
only Jesus
only You Lord could wash me,
heal me, save me


Cover Me

The smile that broke to make the world Your own
the word You gave and all was calm, and hearts began
to beat

the love that flowed to touch my day with light
the tenderness that brought me here
and keeps me going on

by the touch of Your love I live
by the breath of Your life I breathe
by the steps that You take I'm walking
is it any wonder I'll always love You?

by the joy in Your eyes I see
light for the way that You lead me on
peace for the times when it's hard to follow
hold me to Your side - and cover me

the tears that flow to make new life begin
in taking all the broken strands and all the wasted years

and by the wound, that heal a dying world
You light a flame to cover me and lead me home to you

by the touch of Your love I live
by the breath of Your life I breathe
by the steps that You take I'm walking
is it any wonder I'll always love You

by the joy in Your eyes I see
light for the way that You lead me on
peace for the times when it's hard to follow
hold me to Your side - and cover me

and when I feel it's all in vain
You will fold me in Your arms
I will hear You whispering , do not fear
-I am here

by the touch of Your love I live
by the breath of Your life I breathe
by the steps that You take I'm walking
is it any wonder I'll always love You

by the joy in Your eyes I see
light for the way that You lead me on
peace for the times when it's hard to follow
hold me to Your side - and cover me


Feed the Hungry Heart

Feed the hungry heart till their night has gone
Feed the hungry heart till their night has gone
Feed the hungry heart till their night has gone
Morning star will shine on through
When we see the dawn
Feed the hungry heart

Let the sun pour in to take away the pain
Let the sun pour in to take away the pain
We can bring a dying world
Back to life again
Feed the hungry heart

All it takes is love
Heaven knows the cost
We must open wide our arms
To embrace the lost

All it takes is love
Heaven knows the cost
We must open wide our arms
To embrace the lost

Heal the broken heart, feed the hungry soul
Heal the broken heart, feed the hungry soul
Lord, so many many people
Waiting to be whole

Feed the hungry heart
Feed the hungry heart

Touch, and all is new
Oh what sweet release
We can face the darkest storm
When we know God's peace

Touch, and all is new
Oh what sweet release
We can face the darkest storm
When we know God's peace

We can take his love to the heart of man
I believe we should, I believe we can
I believe we should, I believe we can
Feed the hungry heart
Feed the hungry heart
Feed the hungry heart


Psalm 27 (Wherever I Go, You are there)

Lord , I ask You only this
this is all I need
to be with You all my days
Lord, I want to live with You
to dwell inside Your house
and to follow where You
lead there You will hide me in Your arms
hold me like a child in times of
pain You set me high upon a rock-
strong before my foes
secure above the storm

so I will lift my head up high
my heart will shout for joy
I will sing my song of praise
and now I know, I know that I will live
to see Your glory shine
I will trust in You , have faith in You
will not despair - trust in the Lord

the Lord is my light and my salvation every day
He is the stronghold of my life in every way
if an army were around me even then I would not fear
for You Lord are with me
wherever I go, You are there
the Lord is my light and my salvation every day
He is the stronghold of my life in every way
if an army were around me even then I would not fear
for You Lord are with me
wherever I go, You are there
for You Lord are with me
wherever I go, You are there
for You Lord are with me
wherever I go, You are there


Bathed in Neon

The man at the back says
the man at the front
is really the last in line
but it all hangs on which way you're facing
and how you've been reading the signs

the man at the front tells
the man at he back
there's more than one queue to join
but you make a mistake if you think you can
make up your mind at the toss of a coin

oh you're all bathed in neon
you cling to the light
your faces look strange in the glow
are you waiting for some flashing arrow
to show you which way to go?

oh you all fear the shadow
want out of the night
and you don't care what price is paid
but what will you do when the show is all through
and the lights have all started to fade?

oh you're all bathed in neon
you cling to the light
your faces look strange in the glow
are you waiting for some flashing arrow
to show you which way to go?

don't let it die , don't let the flame die
don't let it die, don't let the flame die
don't let it die, don't let the flame die
don't let it die, don't let it die

oh you're all bathed in neon
you're hungry for light
your faces seem lost in the glow
but there's only one light gonna keep out of the night
and show you which way to go


River, Son and Earth

The river flows
its waters cool
cool and deep - it never ends
I drink, the water gives me life
I drink again I drink again

I am a tree by a river
I may bend in the storm
but I shall not fall
I shall not fall

the earth is stone
her heart is cold as ice
the earth is dust
she'll turn upon you
tile earth will strike you
till you fall further than the night

the Son is glass
you can see just what you are
the Son is fire
but you can touch Him
the Son will burn you
till you shine brighter than a star
for nothing grows in the shadow

the river flows out of the Son
it never ends
I drink the Son
He gives me life I drink again
I drink again
I drink again
I drink again


Alpha and Omega - The Beginning and the End

I was alone, imprisoned and in prayer
the Spirit was upon me , my senses were on fire
suddenly behind me I heard a mighty sound
I turned and there before me stood the Son of Man

His hair was white as newly fallen snow
His eyes they burned right through me
His face it gleamed like gold
His voice it thundered like the waves against the shore
I am Alpha and Omega, I'm alive for evermore

So rejoice , the Holy City comes
oh rejoice, the new Jerusalem
rejoice, be ready now
He comes to take His bride
He is Alpha and Omega, He's alive

I heard the voices, singing forth as one
'holy, holy, holy, glory to the Lamb
worthy is the Lord Who was and is and is to come
for You created all things and now Your work is done'

so rejoice , the Holy City comes
oh rejoice, the new Jerusalem
rejoice, be ready now
He comes to take His bride
He is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end

oh rejoice , the Holy City comes
oh rejoice, the new Jerusalem
rejoice, be ready now
He's coming to take His bride
He is Alpha and Omega, He's alive

oh rejoice the Holy City comes
oh rejoice, the new Jerusalem
rejoice, be ready now
He comes to take His bride
He is Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end

oh rejoice , the Holy City comes
oh rejoice, the new Jerusalem
rejoice, be ready now
He's coming to take His bride
He is Alpha and Omega, He's alive
