1.1974
Written:Amy Grant/Gary Chapman/Jerry Mcpherson
We were young
None of us knew quite what to say
But the feeling moved
Among us in silence anyway
Slowly we had made
Quite a change
Somewhere we had crossed a big line
Down upon our knees
We had tasted holy wine
And no one could sway us
In a life time
Purer than the sky
Behind the rain
Falling down all around us
Calling out from a boundless love
Love had lit a fire
We were the flame
Burning into the darkness
Shining out from inside us
Not a word
No one had to say we were changed
Nothing else we lived through
Would ever be the same
Knowing the truth
We had gained
Purer than the sky
Behind the rain
Falling down all around us
Calling out from a boundless love
Love had lit a fire
We were the flame
Burning into the darkness
Shining out from inside us
Stay with me
Make it ever new
So time will not undo
As the years go by
How I need to see
That's still me
Falling down all around us
Calling out from a boundless love
Burning into the darkness
Shining out from inside us
Chorus
2.Lead Me On
Written:Amy Grant/Michael W.Smith/Wayne Kirkpatrick
Shoulder to the wheel
For someone else's selfish gain
Here there is no choosing
Working the clay
Wearing their anger like a ball and chain
Fire in the field
Underneath the blazing sun
But soon the sun was faded
And freedom was a song
I heard them singing when the day was done
Singing to the holy one
Lead me on
Lead me on
To a place where the river runs
Into your keeping, oh
Lead me on
Lead me on
The awaited deliverance
Comforts the seeking...lead on
Waiting for the train Labelled with a golden star Heavy hearted
boarding
Whispers in the dark
'Where are they going--is it very far?'
Bitter cold terrain
Echoes of a slamming door
In chambers made for sleeping
Forever
Voices like thunder in a mighty roar
Cry to the lord
Lead me on
Lead me on
To a place where the river runs
Into your keeping, oh
Lead me on
Lead me on
The awaited deliverance
Comforts the seeking...lead on
Man hurts man
Time and time, time again
And we drown in the wake of our power
Somebody tell me why
Lead me on
Lead me on
To a place where the river runs
Into your keeping, oh
Lead me on
Lead me on
The awaited deliverance
Comforts the seeking...lead on
Chorus
3.Shadows
Written:Karen Peris/Don Peris/Amy Grant
There are two of me
One does the right thing
One cannot see
Standing back to back
Who is the strong one
Int he last act
Every path I take
Roads I go down
Choices I make
Take me right between
Patches of light and
Darkness in me
We have to keep
A watch on our shadows
Every move
They secretly make
We try to be
So close to heaven
But then our shadows
They run away
They pull us away
And the shadows prove
Falling behind
Tracing each move
When I do soemthing wrong
There is no hiding
Shadows are long
We have to keep
A watch on our shadows
Every move
They secretly make
We try to be
So close to heaven
But then our shadows
They pull us away
They pull us away
Chorus
4.Saved by Love
Written:Amy Grant/Chris Smith/Justin Peters
Laura loves her little family
She's the kind of woman
Who loves them with her life
But sometimes int he evening
When the world rests on her shoulders
With four walls closing in
She'll close her eyes
It's not like she misses being younger
Though she never was in Vogue magazine or on T.V.
But her husband loves her dearly
And morning shows her clearly
Kisses her little baby girl
Laura, she's the queen of the world
Can't imagine ever leaving now
Now that she's been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love,
Listen to her quiet heart singing loud
Larua, she's been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love
I know that she's been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love
Saved by love
There's nothing quite like my family's love to warm me
Nothing short of death's gonna ever leave me cold
Still at times it's lonely
But through it all it only
Makes me love Jesus more
This is what he came here for
I can't imagine ever leaving now
Now that I've been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love,
He's gone and turned my crazy world back around
And I've been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love
I know that I've been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love
Saved by love
Oh I'm never leaving now
Now that I've been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love,
He's gone and turned my crazy world back around
And I've been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love
Amy, she's been saved by love,
Saved by love, saved by love
Saved by love
I'm saved by love,
That's right,
There's nothing I can say
Nothing I can do
Nothing I can say
We're all just saved by love
Nothing you can say
Nothing you can do
Only love can say
Only love can do
5.Faithless Heart
Written:Amy Grant/Michael W.Smith
At times the woman deep inside me
Wanders far from home
And in my mind I live a life
That chills me to the bone
A heart, running for arms out of reach
But who is the stranger my longing seeks
I don't know
But it scares me through and through
Cause I've a man at home
Who needs me to be true
Oh faithless heart
Be far away from me
Playing games inside my head
That no one else can see
Oh faithless heart
You tempt me to the core
But you can't have a hold on me
So don't come around anymore
God you know the feelings here
Could wipe my world away
Ravaging the promises
A stronger heart once made
So hold me, I'm falling so fast
And tell me that the fighting inside will pass
As I walk away
And find the strength to choose
The man who waits for me
With a heart that's true
Oh faithless heart
Be far away from me
Playing games inside my head
That only I can see
Oh, faithless heart
You tempt me to the core
But you can't have a hold on me
So don't come around anymore
Faithless heart
Oh, faithless heart
Be far away from me
Playing games inside my head
That only I can see
Oh, faithless heart
You tempt me to the core
But you can't have a hold on me
So don't come around anymore
6.What About the Love
Lyrics:Kye Fleming/Janis Ian
Music:Kye Fleming/Janis Ian
I went to see my sister
She was staying with a friend
Who had turned into a preacher
To save the world from sin
He said 'First deny your body,
Then learn to submit
Pray to be made worthy,
And tithe your ten percent'
I said 'Is this all there is,
Just the letter of the law?'
Something's wrong.
I went to see my brother
On the 32nd floor
Of a building down on Wall Street
You could hear the future's roar
He said 'Here we make decisions,
And we trade commodities;
If you tell me where there's famine,
I can make you guarantees'
I said 'Is this all there is,
Power to be strong?'
Something's wrong.
Something's wrong in heaven tonight
You can almost hear them cry
Angels to the left and the right
Saying 'What about the love
What about the love
What about the love?'
I went to see my neighbor
He'd been taken to a home
For the weak and the discarded
Who have no place to go
He said 'Here I lack for nothing
I am fed and I am clothed,
But at times I miss the freedom
I used to know'
I said 'Is this all there is
When your usefulness is gone?'
Something's wrong.
Something's wrong in heaven tonight
You can almost hear them cry
Angels to the left and the right
Saying 'What about the love
What about the love
What about the love?'
I looked into the mirror
Proud as I could be
And I saw my pointing finger
Pointing back at me
Saying 'Who named you accuser
Who gave you the scales'
I hung my head in sorrow
I could almost feel the nails
I said 'This is how it is
To be crucified and judged
Without love.'
Something's wrong in heaven tonight
You can almost hear them cry
Angels to the left and the right
Saying 'What about the love
What about the love
What about the love?'
Chorus
7.If These Walls Could Speak
Lyrics:Jimmy Webb
Music:Jimmy Webb
If these old walls
If these old walls could speak
Of things that they remembered well
Stories and faces dearly held
A couple in love
Livin' week to week
Rooms full of laughter
If these walls could speak
If these old halls
If hallowed halls could talk
These would have a tale to tell
Of sun goin' down and dinner bell
And children playing at hide and seek
From floor to rafter
If these halls could speak
They would tell you that I'm sorry
For bein' cold and blind and weak
They would tell you that it's only
That I have a stubborn streak
If these walls could speak
If these old fashioned window panes were eyes
I guess they would have seen it all
Each little tear and sigh and footfall
And every dream that we came to seek
Or followed after
If these walls could speak
They would tell you that I owe you
More than I could ever pay
Here's someone who really loves you
Don't ever go away
That's what these walls would say
They would tell you that I owe you
More than I could ever pay
Here's someone who really loves you
Don't ever go away
That's what these walls would say
That's what these walls would say
That's what these walls would say
8.All Right
Written:Amy Grant/Dann Huff/Phil Nash
Looking out to the hills
To the setting sun
I feel a cold wind
Bound to come
Another change
Another end I cannot see
But your faithfulness to me
Is making it all right
I fall down on my knees
Tell me that it's all right
You give me what I need
Years of knocking on heaven's door
Have taught me this if nothing more
That it's all right, what may come
I've heard it said
When the river's running high
You get to higher ground or you die
Well muddy waves of pain
Washed over me
And it only made me see
It's gonna be all right
I fall down on my knees
Tell me that it's all right
You give me what I need
Years of knocking on heaven's door
Have taught me this if nothing more
That it's all right, what may come
When will I learn there're no guarantees
What strengthens hope, my eyes have never seen
But it won't be long
Till the faith will be sight
And the heavens will say
It's all right
Chorus
9.Wait For the Healing
Written:A.Grant/W.Kirkpatrick/G.Chapman/J.Mcpherson
One had vision
One came bringing its doom
One saw napalm
One heard the man in the moon
We were children of promise
We were heirs to their dreams
Tell me, why then is the hand slow
And the dog bites, well, I don't know
But the sky will fall
And heads will roll
And it's all that we can do
To wait for the healing
Hungry hearted reason coming of age
Running headlong into the latest rage
Always reaching within us
Claiming the answers are there
Tell me, why then is the hand slow
And the dog bites, well, I don't know
But the sky will fall
And heads will roll
And it's all that we can do
To wait for the healing
For to carry on
For to stand when all is said and done
In the shadow of the rising sun
Longing, waiting for the healing
We are children of promise
We are heirs to the dream
Tell me, why then is the hand slow
And the dog bites, well, I don't know
But the sky will fall
And heads will roll
And it's all that we can do
To wait for the healing
For to carry on
For to stand when all is said and done
In the shadow of the rising sun
Longing, waiting for the healing
10.Sure Enough
Written:Wayne Kirkpatrick/Mike Brignardello/Shane Keister
I'm laying it all out on the table
I'm telling you again what I've already told you before
My love is not a soon forgotten fable
My heart is not a box with a lock in a five and dime store
So there's no need to question me and my feelings
Oh, wondering if I am sure
Ask me again and I'll tell you the same
Over and over
Sure enough to never want to be without you
Sure enough to stay for good
Sure enough in every little thing about you
Sure enough
Developing the art of collaboration
It's dinner and a movie and a baby or two
Now we are in the midst of a revelation
We're doing what a modern world said we could not do
And even when our love is mellow and aging
Oh, even when we're old and wise
And we know then what we don't know now
Well, I know I'll still be
Sure enough to never want to be without you
Sure enough to stay for good
Sure enough in every little thing about you
Sure enough
11.If You Have to Go Away
Written:Amy Grant/Jerry Mcpherson
When I was younger
I used to dream a lot
Staring into my coffee
About how you'd love me
And write me poetry
And want to be with me, yeah
Well, momma done told me
You might wander far, yeah
But nobody warned me
The road would own your heart
And so I'm saying
If you have to go away
I will be waiting by the phone
And if you have to go away
I'll put your records on
Pretend you're still at home
Now that I'm older
I sit at home a lot
With the kid we've got, yeah
The radio's playing
He really loves his wife
I hear the D.J. saying
Well momma done told me
you might wander far, oh
As long as you hold me
More than you hold that guitar
I'll keep on saying
If you have to go away
I'll leave your shoes beside the bed
And if you have to go away
I'll want to be with you
I'll be with me instead
If you have to go away
I won't be sleeping very well
But if you have to go away
I will be loving you
Till it's cold in hell
Maybe you'll write me this time
Maybe you'll call on a static line
saying don't you ever worry your pretty mind
Cause you and me are gonna be fine
And so I'm saying
If you have to go away
I will be waiting by the phone
And if you have to go away
I'll put your records on
Pretend you're still at home
If you have to go away
I'll leave your shoes beside the bed
And if you have to go away
I'll want to be with you
I'll be with me instead
If you have to go away
I won't be sleeping very well
But if you have to go away
I will be loving you
I will be loving you
If you have to go away
12.Say Once More
Lyrics:Amy Grant/Gardner Cole
Music:Amy Grant/Gardner Cole
Let me say once more that I love you
Let me say one time maybe two
That I love the way that you love me
And I wish I knew more of you
Let me say once more that I love you
Let me say one time maybe two
That I love the way that you love me
And I wish I knew more of you
Tell me that time can't erase
This look of love on your face
Let me say once more that I need you
One more time or just maybe two
Oh my life will always be richer
For the time I spent here with you
Let me say once more that I love you
Let me say one time maybe two
That I love the way that you love me
And I wish I knew more of you
Tell me that time won't erase
The way that my heart sees your face
I call your name
You look my way
It's clear you trust each word I say
When life is long and problems come
You'll always be my only one
So now we're standing face to face
And with one look your eyes embrace me
Squeeze away each haunting fear
And sayt he words I long to hear
Tell me that time won't erase
This look of love
Let me say once more that I love you
Let me say one time maybe two
That I love the way that you love me
And I wish I knew more of you
Let me say once more that I love you
One more time or just maybe two
That I love the way that you love me
And I want to know more of you
I love you, I do
I need you
I want you more and more and more
Let me say once more that I love you
Let me say one time maybe two
That I love the way that you love me
And I wish I knew more of you
