There's
a clever girl
Who wonders what
voice to believe
When she hears all
they have to say
Talking more and
more of trusting Jesus
Is she testing,
treading ,or drinking?
Isn't it apparent
That her thirsting
is inherent?
She has
Chorus:
Every reason
To cup her hands
beneath it
Taste the sweet
release
Every reason
To satisfy and give
her
Every reason to
believe
There's an able girl
On the proving ground
she finally found
The place to wash
her fear away
With the gift of
faith
The Holy Spirit
there in wait
He draws her weary
heart
Here to lose a million
things
Forgotten as the
fountain brings her
Chorus
There's a happy girl
The search for absolutes
is over
A new beginning
under way
Standing by the
stream
A river bold, pure,
and endless
It overflows and
she has

any
other love
m. johnston, m.
deJesus, m. goldman
|
Any
other love
Is imagined
This is real
Infatuation fun
Fades and loses
its appeal
It dims my eyes
To the face
That until now I
could not see
It's starting to
sink in
The deeper I think
in
These terms of eternity
Chorus:
Turn from any other
love
To the only face
of Your love
Any other love
Is misplaced identity
Pairing pride and
shame
With the life it
fakes of me
Faces of familiar
loves
Fall in shadows
on the floor
Chased there by
The light that pours
When you open every
door
Chorus
You're the only face
Of God's love for
us
The one and only
face
Of God's love for
all of us
Any other love
Wants much more
than I can give
I'm telling everyone
This is the way
I choose to live

firefly
m. johnston, m.
goldman

Glowing
eyes
That ask if I would
risk it all
Fight the crowding
dark away
I can't help but
feel that You are searching me
At the dusk of summer's
first day
Fragile wings bring
Little messages
of light
Chorus:
Firefly
Burning inside
I'll fly
With the light inside
of me
Circling free
From a gently opened
jar
With a halo You
show me
A symbol of the
fact that I am carrying
The image of Your
glory
Fragile wings bring
Little messages
of light
Chorus x 2
Bridge:
I burn to know
Your will, Your
ways
Your heart and mind
And learn to love
the way You love
A luminescent speck
Shining at the perfect
time
Tests the temporary
night
And signals other
tiny fires
Time to light up
and fly
Light up, light
up and fly
Chorus |

clean
m. johnston, m.
goldman
|
Clothed
In the common and
profane
And the tendency
for independence
Runs through every
vein
Self aware
Bare before You
at the water side
Afraid to take the
step into the tide
Oh, I feel so obscene
Knowing I am only
Chorus:
Clean
Because You promised
me
I'm clean
Wash me
I am clean
Called apart
Never has meant
loneliness
But it feels that
way
Any day
I'd rather not confess
So take away the
part of me
That forgets the
price of Grace
I have only one
hope to erase
Every failure I
have seen
And I am only
Clean
Because You promised
me
I'm clean
Wash me
I am clean
And ready for the
world
Thank you, thank
you, thank you

the
lust, the flesh, the eyes, and the pride of life
m. roe
|
Well
I feel like I have to feel
Something good all
of the time
With most of life
I cannot deal
But a good feeling
I can feel
Even though it may
not be real
And if a person,
place, or thing can deliver
I will quiver with
delight
Will it last me
for all my life
Or just one more
lonely night
Chorus:
The lust, the flesh,
the eyes, and the pride of life
Drain the life right
out of me
Well I see something
and
I want it, bam,
right now, no questions asked
Don't worry how
much it cost me
Now or later I want
it want it, babe, and I want it now
I'll go to any length
Sacrifice all I
already have, and all that I might get
Just to get something
more that I don't need
And Lord please
don't ask me what for
Chorus
Can I look when folks
look right at me
and what I'm doing
or have done
And lay it on about
how groovy I am
And that I'm looking
grand
And every single
word makes me think
I'll live forever
and ever
Knowing that they
probably won't remember
What they said tomorrow
Tomorrow I could
be dead

waterfall
m. johnston, m.
deJesus
|
If
I were a tape recorder
Would you take me
in Your pack?
You could say anything
And I would play
it back
If we took the beach
side down
To where the boardwalk
ends
I would find a way
To introduce You
to my friends
Chorus:
Were You a pool there
on the mountain standing tall
I would be a waterfall
I would carry water
down from depths that run untold
Living water
Walls can't hold
If You were the umbrella
now
And I the driving
rain
I'd wish You were
a bucket
Underneath the window
pane
If I play the field
a while
I might miss the
catch
When I show my colors
I'll be in need
of their match
Chorus
If Your words were
water
Brimming over to
be heard by all
I'd be the drop
there on the edge
The drop that pulls
the waterfall
Pulls the waterfall
I will be the piece
of clay
And You the hands
that mold
You will be the
purchase made
Of everything I've
sold
Chorus |

no
kinder Savior
m. johnston, m.
deJesus

It's
best to meet these things head on, she said
Before too much
gets on your mind
Thoughts like books
are piling up
Sometimes the lessons
don't seem kind
The fighting feelings
will get easier
The ones that make
your mood stay blue
You have believed
the lie for long enough
No kinder Savior
comes for you
Chorus:
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Sing the blessings,
sing them down
For the one who's
ready to give up
No kinder Savior
will be found
I've even tried to
hear from God, he said
Didn't Jesus love
the weak?
She said, he was
willing to give up
That is, the man
who couldn't speak
The story goes that
when his tongue was loosed
Expecting cries
of pent up grief
The crowd astonished
by the spectacle
All heard a song
of new belief
Sing a song about
a higher love
That we would know
it at first sight
Sing it loud and
long enough
He could make it
real tonight
Chorus
There are few who
want this narrow door
Most seekers seek
a broader pass
Hoping somehow they
are living up
To what any god
would ask
And longing for
a kinder Savior
From the tyranny
of days
There already is
a Savior
Yeah, He already
lead the way

beautiful,
scandalous night
d. daugherty, s.
hindalong

Go
on up to the mountain of mercy
To the crimson perpetual
tide
Kneel down on the
shore
Be thirsty no more
Go under and be
purified
Follow Christ to
the holy mountain
Sinner sorry and
wrecked by the fall
Cleanse your heart
and your soul
In the fountain
that flowed
For you and for
me and for all
Chorus:
At the wonderful,
tragic, mysterious tree
On that beautiful,
scandalous night you and me
Were atoned by His
blood and forever washed white
On that beautiful,
scandalous night
On the hillside,
you will be delivered
At the foot of the
cross justified
And your spirit
restored
By the river that
poured
From our blessed
Savior's side
Chorus
Go on up to the mountain
of mercy
To the crimson perpetual
tide
Kneel down on the
shore
Be thirsty no more
Go under and be
purified

that
line
m. johnston
|
Even
when it's eggshells
Even when it's broken
glass
The prophet follows
the path well
And he has feet
that last
I saw them carrying
crosses
They were forming
up that line
There were so many
walking before me
Some helped me pick
up mine
Right in front and
behind
I have all I need
as a sign
Chorus:
I've got to walk
that line
I've got to walk
that line
I've got to walk
that line
No one's thinking
for me
In between commitment
and the prize
The most you can
do is trust
The faith you see
with your own eyes
And my feet are
still tender
Like skin is when
it heals
Chorus
Bridge:
We remember how You
bled
When we all drink
the wine
We're looking for
Your steps
That started up
that line

100
billion watts
m. johnston, d.
stephens, m. deJesus
|
From
the Father's mind
You came to be
Son of Man and Hero
of the fight
Greater than
Loves only enemy
You separate the
darkness from the light
Chorus:
Greater than the
strongest power
Greater than the
love
Of a hundred billion
hearts
Brighter than my
darkest hour
You're burning at
A hundred billion
watts
All creation sighs
Giving witness to
The way our yearning
hearts will return
And find Your mercy
Much greater than
The good we left
undone
A favor human nature
never earned
Chorus
As the thoughts of
God begin to take their shape
The Only Son was
His perfection
From the first
And everyone who
wants to welcome
His embrace
Knows the power
Of the third creation
