Still Life 02:01
Still life We were always meant to live a still life But somehow we got trapped into the fast life The cast life Where everyone plays a part You lose yourself in the fast life In the fast pace of the rat race Where no one knows who you are And nobody cares If there really is a God And He has something to say We would never hear it 'Cause the noise is in the way Still life We were always meant to live a still life Where everyone can see our real life Be still and know who is God

Can't you see we're close to the end You no longer can laugh and pretend You've been fooled right from the start Why not give i and open your heart Jesus calls you why don't you choose When you've got nothing there's nothing to lose If you turn away from His grace You may never more see His face Don't go searching into the skies He's right here in front of your eyes You don't have to go very far He will come to you right where you are How He loves you and wants you to see The full measure He made you to be With his presence living inside You will never have to live a lie

Sitting by the ocean with nothing to do but talk to you Sitting here listening to the whispering waves telling me it's true Hiking to the top of a mountain Drinking water from a cool clear stream Watching the sunset and talking to God And knowing He loves me These simple pleasures Are everywhere in great measure I just open my eyes and I can see The richest things I have are free I always wished I had a little cabin alone in the north country I'd sit there in the morning writing a song with the fire warming me But it ain't that hard And it's not that far One look in your face and I realize My cabin is in your eyes Everybody's buying and trying to keep up with the cost of life Getting paranoia when the prices annoy you you can't see the light When real simple pleasures Are everywhere in great measure Why just open your eyes and you can see The richest things in life are free

The rocks are in their places The seagulls look for theirs The flowers wait expectantly Forgetting all their cares The curtain clouds roll back to let you know The show has just begun We're about to see the setting of the sun The sky has turned a yellow-gold With fading signs of blue The ocean green has turned to gray With a shining path breaking through A lonely seal swims by the screen Diving just for fun He has come to see the setting of the sun And though the sun must set each day And come back again There will be a new sun soon Whose day will never end He's the maker of it all The light of everyone Soon we'll see the glory of the Son The real one

I'm Human

Kathy Purdy Whoever you are I'd like to know you But it's so hard I want so much to deal with reality But how can I know what's true When I never get to see Each time I learn my lesson And each time I fall Thinking I've got my rights When I've got none at all Don't you know I'm human That means I have to feel All the things a human feels Although the Lord is real I fight with my emotions And usually I win But right now I'm hurting And tempted so to sin I know the Lord is in control I know he'll do what's right But I just must get in this song What's in my heart tonight What I really want to say And what I hope you'll hear: Is you're the best thing past my way In just short of three years But I know the best is from the Lord And what He gives is free. I guess I'd just like to know If He's giving you to me. So I'll just trust Him Like I've done a thousand times before He's been faithful in the past He'll be faithful once more I know the Lord is in control I know He'll do what's right But I just had to get in this song What's in my heart tonight

The world is trying to get it together Trying to help their fellow man Hoping we can make it better Do you really think we can You go to school to find the answers And graduate finding there are none In our youth we fight all kinds of battles But in the end we've never won The history books are all against us Destruction is upon us, still To change, you'll have to find a way To make a river run uphill The people who are optimistic Are really way behind the times The geniuses are all sadistic Just eat and drink and wait to die American Pie Whiskey and rye But something many have forgotten There's more than merely meets the eye A quiet kind of revolution Is coming down on us from the sky You can't read about it in your textbook You can't hear it on your TV screen But just the same it's all around us And what's more it's always been So if you want to know about it There's one book you really ought to read And take a walk in a virgin forest And let the maker let you see The kingdom of God He who has ears let him hear The kingdom of God He who has eyes let him see The kingdom of God Matthew's blues gonna show the news to you Matthew's blues gonna show the news to you

Brightest and best of the sons of the morning Dawn on our darkness and lend us Thine aid Star of the east the horizon adorning Guide where our infant redeemer is laid Cold on His cradle the dewdrops are shining Low lies His head with the beasts of the stall Angels adore Him in slumber reclining Maker and Monarch and Savior of all Say shall we yield Him in costly devotion Odors of Edom and offerings divine Gems from the mountain and pearls from the ocean Myrrh from the forest or gold from the mine Vainly we offer each ample oblation Vainly with gifts would His favor secure Richer by far is the heart's adoration Dearer to God are the prayers of the poor

Love Him in the morning when you see the sun a-rising Love Him in the evening 'cause He took you through the day And in the in-between-time when you feel the pressure coming Remember that He loves you and He promises to stay When you think you've got to worry 'Cause it seems the thing to do Remember He ain't in a hurry He's always got time for you So... Love Him in the morning when you see the sun a-rising Love Him in the evening 'cause He took you through the day And in the in-between-time when you feel the pressure coming Remember that He loves you and He promises to stay

We Are All Together Adam stood in the garden And thought that no one was watching And he was free to do whatever he pleased No one would see But he failed to see That he was part of one humanity And all who came after Would suffer for his own selfish ways All of their days You can't imagine that you have the right To live your own life Thinking you're the only one And no one will care what you do You don't live alone We are all one in the Lord You don't sin alone We must all bear the same load You don't live alone We are all one in the Lord You don't sing alone We must all sing the same chord Don't you know that we are all together Don't you know that we are all together Remember We are all together Don't forget that We are all together in the Lord Rest in Him Rest Rest in Him Your work is through Lean back on His great power He'll work through you
