The touch of His hand will let me know
You takes me in and lets me go
If not for love, who would believe
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, in you and me.

Chorus:
We're lifted up by angels
Higher than the world
Strong enough to leave it.
Bound to learn the secrets
Angels never heard
Close enough to heaven
Far above the rain
Darkness cannot reach us.
Let the angels teach us
Only love remains.
We're lifted up by angels

To understand, yet never say
How every plan would fade away
If not for love, where would we be
Ashes to dust, water to rust, eternally.

Chorus:
We're lifted up by angels
Higher than the world
Strong enough to leave it.
Bound to learn the secrets
Angels never heard
Close enough to heaven
Far above the rain
Darkness cannot reach us.
Let the angels teach us
Only love remains.

Bridge:
We're lifted up by angels
Given wings to fly
Leaving life behind us
Trust the light to find us
Even as we rise.

Chorus:
We're lifted up by angels
Higher than the world
Strong enough to leave it.
Bound to learn the secrets
Angels never heard
We're lifted up by angels
Higher than the world
Strong enough to leave it.
Bound to learn the secrets
Angels never heard

When it seems your darkest night,
Wont turn your day into light,
You just hold on, you be strong.
That thorn that’s in your side,
That constant threat of compromise,
You just hold on, you be strong.

Decisions you make they count for life,
Don’t be fooled by their illusions.
Every choice you make is a sacrifice,
Don’t get caught up in the confusion

Chorus:
When you call upon the Lord He will hear you,
He’s always listening to every word you say.
When you call upon the Lord He’s always near you,
And you’ll find the answer  is just a prayer away.

I know from what I speak,
So many times my heart did bleed but I held on in the midst of the storm.
There were times I wanted to take my life
But He is my judge and He gave me life,
Who am I to take it.

So I live my life for each day
I count my every blessing.
My hearts desire and my every aim,
Is to learn from every lesson.

Chorus:
When you call upon the Lord He will hear you,
He’s always listening to every word you say.
When you call upon the Lord He’s always near you,
And you’ll find the answer is just a prayer away.

So many time I have fallen
Short of the path I have chosen
Alone in the dar, with fear in my heart
Let Your love shine through me.

How can we love on another
When we fight brother to brother
I surrender the sword, and turn to you Lord
Let Your love shine through me.

Chorus:
There is only on way to the cross
To give and not count the cost
I will lay down my Heart
And turn into the light
Let Your love shine through me
Let Your love shine through me

Take me sweet Jesus I’ll follow
Walk with me wherever I go
Be my strength inside
For every mountain I’ll climb
Let Your love shine through me.

Bridge:
Let Your love bring us together
And it will shine on forever

Chorus:
There is only on way to the cross
To give and not count the cost
I will lay down my Heart
And turn into the light
Let Your love shine through me
Let Your love shine through me

In the lightning flash across the sky
His mighty power I see
And I know if He can reign on high
His light can shine on me.

When the thunder shakes the mghty hills
And trembles every tree
Then I know a God so great and strong
Can surely harbor me.

Chorus:
I’ve seen it in the lightning
Heard it in the thunder
And felt it in the rain
My Lord is near me all the time
My Lord is near me all the time.

When refreshing showers cool the earth
And sweep across the sea.
Then His rainbow shines within my heart
His nearness comforts me.

Chorus:
I’ve seen it in the lightning
Heard it in the thunder
And felt it in the rain
My Lord is near me all the time
My Lord is near me all the time.

Chorus:
I’ve seen it in the lightning
Heard it in the thunder
And felt it in the rain
My Lord is near me all the time

I’ve cursed this day a thousand times
I’ve played this scene out in my mind
You spread your wings you need to fly
It breaks my heart to say good bye
These arms of mine want to pull you close
But I love you enough to let you go.

My mind goes back to memories
Of Pony rides up on my knee
First day of school your brand new  bike
Football games on Friday night
Through the years I’ve watched you grow
And I love you enough to let you go.

Chorus:
But don’t look back when you drive away
I don’t want change your mind
I know in all your eighteen years
You’ve never seen your daddy cry.

So many things I want to say
You’ll meet new friends you’ll be ok
I’ll pray for you out on your own
And don’t forget your way back home
And though I may not let it show
I love you enough to let you go.

Chorus:
But don’t look back when you drive away
I don’t want change your mind
I know in all your eighteen years
You’ve never seen your daddy cry.

Why do we try to hurt our brothers
When we only hurt ourselves, all the time
We judge the world by color
Never seeing whats inside
Looking through our eyes
Keep your eyes off yourself
Cause there’s only one way

Chorus:
We’re all god’s children
He love us all the same
Yeah, we’re all God children
Red, Yellow, Black and White
We are precious in His sight.

Don’t worry about tomorrow
He’ll take you as you are
No He wont give up.
Like a river flowing touching everything in sight
With unconditional love
If we stand together
He’ll show us the way.

Chorus:
We’re all god’s children
He love us all the same
Yeah, we’re all God children
Red, Yellow, Black and White
We are precious in His sight.

Bridge:
All God’s children, He loves us all the same
We’re all God’s children
If we learn how to forgive
Then we’ll finally learn to live
He will open up our minds
And change our hearts.

Chorus:
We’re all god’s children
He love us all the same
Yeah, we’re all God children
Red, Yellow, Black and White
We are precious in His sight.

Take up thy cross and follow me
I heard my master say
I gave my life to ransom thee
Surrender your all today

He drew me closer to His side
I sought His will to know
And in that will I now abide
Wherever He leads I’ll go

Chorus:
Wherever He leads I’ll go
Wherever He leads I’ll go
I follow my Christ who loves me so
Wherever He leads I’ll go

My heart, my life, my all I bring
To Christ who loves me so
He is my Master Lord and King
Wherever He leads I’ll go

Chorus:
Wherever He leads I’ll go
Wherever He leads I’ll go
I follow my Christ who loves me so
Wherever He leads I’ll go

Wherever He leads I’ll go
Wherever He leads I’ll go
I follow my Christ who loves me so
Wherever He leads I’ll go

I was living in a world created selfishly
Acting like someone I didn’t know who to be
Thought I had every answer
Could do it all by myself
I was wrong

One day it didn’t seem to matter how hard I tried
Couldn’t seem to fill the emptiness inside
Oh, You were the answer that I need to fing
Now the’ll be no more questions all my life

Chorus:
When I look to You
You answer everything
With all the love You bring
I see the Truth
When I look to You
I don’t need anything
With every work I sing
Comes straight from my heart
When I look to You

Now I know the road that walk on everyday
With all my mind, my heart and soul
Oh Lord You know I pray
That You will be with me
Everywhere I may go
Even though I may stumble
I will know

Chorus:
When I look to You
You answer everything
With all the love You bring
I see the Truth
When I look to You
I don’t need anything
With every work I sing
Comes straight from my heart
When I look to You

Some days I don’t want to try
Some days are filled with why’s
That leave me speechless
Those days I crawl back in bed
And cover up my head
And call on Jesus
When words aren’t enough
To voice all the hurt in my soul
I just fall on the trust
That wont let me go

Chorus:
Cause my strength is only as strong
As my faith in You, my faith in You
And my life is built upon
My faith in You
My faith in You

Your life can turn on a dime
Without reason or rhyme
My dreams are shattered
That’s when I find once again
The beauty of your plan
That’s all that matters
There’s nothing else I can do
Just whisper your name
Call on the mercy that proves once again

Chorus:
That my strength is only as strong
As my faith in You, my faith in You
And my life is built upon
My faith in You

Once upon a lifetime
I looked in someone's eyes
And felt the fire burning in my heart
For the very first time
She was scared and young
And had never tasted love
So I took her by the hand
And a boy became a man
Once upon a lifetime

And once upon a lifetime
You hold the queen of hearts
But if you gamble on a diamond
When the dealing starts
You stand to lose it all
As the cards begins to fall
An the lesson learned is hard
You're only dealt the queen of hearts
Once upon a lifetime

Chorus:
So if your taking chances know the chance you take
A broken hearts a high price to pay
Foolish ways will make fools of the wise
And the best thing seldom come along twice

Once upon a lifetime
You know that you've been blessed
When you hold your first born
Tenderly against your chest
The innocent you see
The value of a family
And you feel a special bond
That only comes a long
Once upon a lifetime
Chorus:
So if you taking chances know the chance you take
A broken heart a high price to pay
Foolish ways will make fool's of the wise
And the best things seldom come along twice

And people only find
A love like yours and mine
Once upon a lifetime
