REACH OUT TO ME - Michael W. Smith

"the battle is more intense than it has ever been. lord, i need you and want you so desperately. please hang on to me."
Another million miles from the truth now
i know there's peace but i can't seem
to figure out how
to stop this race that's taking over me
i'm under the gun i wait for you to see
Oh, please reach out to me
open my eyes to see
i'm running from you now
come rescue me somehow
Another scar from fighting the truth now
has left me like a stranger to my need now
a masquerade, a game to figure out now
a cruel charade i cannot scream aloud
A narrow stretch of road in the way now
a heavy load still hanging on to me now
i'm in a maze that i can't seem to get out
without a view from these shoulders of doubt

RAGING SEA - Michael W. Smith

Sometimes the journey makes you weary
feels like a long and winding road
sometimes this life can lose it's meaning
but you might be suprised to find some hope
maybe you're wondering where love is
you may fell it's far away from here
maybe you're wondering where i am
you might be surprised to find i'm near

Chorus:
And when your life is tossed and turning
and you are on the raging sea
i'll come and pull you from the water
then you will know that you are free
So if you're stumbling through the valley
or if you're tempted to give up the fight
reach out your hand and i will lead you
i will be your strong arm in the night

PURSUIT OF THE DREAM - Michael W. Smith

Wake up and dream about
the plans you have in store for you
but keep in mind
it's not just what you do
but what you do it for-and who
there are roads to discover
there are stories yet to be told
as you see the big picture
just beginning to unfold (so)
Chorus:
break down the barriers but
don't bend the rules
never forget your roots
as you head for something new
ride thru the shades of desire
letting the light be seen
and he'll steer the heart in the
pursuit of the dream
It's alright to find yourself
thinking now and then
about the way you want your life to be
anticipating what lies
just around the bend
can't wait to see
Comes the time of decision
some you dodge and some you should face
as you see the big picture
there will be some dues to pay (so)

Chorus
Wake up and dream about
the plans you have in store for you
but keep in mind
it's not just what you do
but what you do it for-and who
There are choices that build you
choices that will make you fall
all part of the big picture
one day you will see it all

PURIFIED - Michael W. Smith

Verse1
where the angels see
you are praised as you should be.
but how can i express
my yearning for your holiness.

PRAY FOR ME - Michael W. Smith

Here is where the road divides
here is where we realize
the sculpting of the father's great design
thru' time you've been a friend to me
but time is now the enemy
i wish we didn't have to say goodbye
but i know the road he chose for me
is not the road he chose for you
so as we chase the dreams we're after
chorus:
pray for me and i'll pray for you
pray that we will keep the common ground
won't you pray for me and i'll pray for you
and one day love will bring us back around again
Painted on our tapestry
we see the way it has to be
weaving thru' the laughter and the tears
but love will be the tie that binds us
to the time we leave behind us
memories will be our souvenirs
and i know that thru' it all
the hardest part of love is letting go
but there's a greater love that holds us

RESTLESS HEART - Michael W. Smith

On the street it never changes
there's a chill in the air
icy people, empty faces
not a word, not a soul who cares
do you give up
have you given in to the lie that a heart never changes
don't be fooled by what you see there
another man with another case of
chorus:
one restless heart
who never could find love
too many hurts
to reach out again
how can he know
love still wants to find him
one restless shell of a man
Don't look away
in a moment his life could be new
just a moment and love could break through
oh finally some place to start
for a man with a restless heart
Why the fear then, why the worry
why the walls holding love inside
when you're needed in the fury
in the fighting to save men's lives
don't you give up
don't be giving in to the lie that a heart never changes
if you reach out god'll reach in
bring an end to another case of
Chorus
One restless heart, one restless heart
one restless heart, one restless heart
he's got to know that love still can find him
love can reach any man
Don't look away
in a moment his life could be new
just a moment and love could break through
oh finally some place to start
for a man with a restless heart
Tag:
don't you look away
oh never a stranger again
love has saved a restless man
finally some place to start
for a man with a restless heart
Tag

ALIVE - Superchick

Don't bury me, I'm not yet dead
Not a walking zombie with no head
Not a Stepford wife made to obey
Don't want to go through life that way

I'm alive, I'm alive
That's what I say
I'm alive, I'm alive
Gonna live that way
I'm alive, I'm alive
That's what I say
I'm alive and I'm gonna live today

Do robots dream of electric sheep?
I need to live my dreams, not just in my sleep
I've been holed up here, but it's time to
leave I need to make my move while I've air to breathe

Don't give me drugs, no Novocaine
I must be alive 'cause I still feel pain
We were born with wings
We were made to fly
We were meant to live while we're still alive

PLACE IN THIS WORLD - Michael W. Smith

The wind is moving
but i am standing still
a life of pages
waiting to be filled
a heart that's hopeful
a head that's full of dreams
but this becoming
is harder than it seems
feels like i'm
chorus:
looking for a reason
roaming through the night to find
my place in this world
my place in this world
not a lot to lean on
i need your light to help me find
my place in this world
my place in this world
if there are millions
down on their knees
among the many
can you still hear me?
hear me asking
where do i belong?
is there a vision
that i can call my own?
show me i'm

PICTURE PERFECT - Michael W. Smith

Pull all your hair up
dab on the make-up
trying hard to look so pristine
like a face in a magazine
those fancy dressers and
media pressure
have got you feeling so plain and small
if you don't look like a paper doll
In a world where the goal is
to be like the joneses
it's guaranteed to drive you wild
keeping up with the latest style
Gaze in the mirror
you want the glamour
and the grace of a movie star
but i like you the way you are
You are the only one i'm dreaming of
'cause baby don't you know that i love
Chorus:
you, girl
you don't have to be picture perfect
to be in my world
girl
you don't have to be picture perfect
to fit the frame
You're tender, you're tactful
girl, you're a natural
you possess a heart that's true
that's what i like about you
One in a million
yea, that's a given
there's a beauty inside of you
and it show on the outside too
No competition, you're way in the lead
and baby, don't you know that i need...

OUT OF THIS WORLD - Michael W. Smith

Take stock of your life
what's wrong and what's right
empty pockets, got no green
don't you know sunshine is free
what breaks have you had
some good and some bad
wanna go but got no car
dreaming dreams can take you far
chorus: you will find that life's worth living
in this world, it's out of this world
with a little love and a little giving
in this world, it's out of this world
Look ot the future
who's in the picture
say your love life's just a dream
still you've got a friend in me
Today, tomorrow
laughter and sorrow
gonna be some lows and highs
might as well enjoy the ride

OPEN THE EYES OF MY HEART - Michael W. Smith

Open the eyes of my heart, lord
open the eyes of my heart
i want to see you
i want to see you
Open the eyes of my heart, lord
open the eyes of my heart
i want to see you
i want to see you
To see you high and lifted up
shinin' in the light of your glory
pour out your power and love
as we sing holy, holy, holy
Open the eyes of my heart, lord
open the eyes of my heart
i want to see you
i want to see you
Open the eyes of my heart, lord
open the eyes of my heart
i want to see you
i want to see you
To see you high and lifted up
shinin' in the light of your glory
pour out your power and love
as we sing holy, holy, holy
(repeat two more times)
Holy, holy, holy
we cry holy, holy, holy
you are holy, holy, holy
i want to see you
Holy, holy, holy
holy, holy, holy
you are holy, holy, holy
i want to see you
Holy, holy, holy
holy, holy, holy
holy, holy, holy,
i want to see you

ON THE OTHER SIDE - Michael W. Smith

I'm not how i used to be
when we hung around
back when it was you and me
tearin' up this town
we used to live our lives running from change
now we don't see eye to eye
i am not the same
chorus:
and you wonder where i've gone
well, i've found where i belong
i'm on the other side
true - i used to walk your shore
but i'm not there anymore
i'm on the other side
Years fade like the setting sun
turning us loose
they give us many ways to run
and many roads to choose
well, i ran into saving grace
headed for nowhere
love showed me another place
and brought me there
Chorus
Why is it hard for you to see
all the changes made in me
here on the other side
oh, i could help you understand
and you could join me where i am
i am on the other side

OLD ENOUGH TO KNOW - Michael W. Smith

In the passion your heart is abused
he is pushing you, you have to choose
oh, rebecca love is never
easy anymore
oh, rebecca so afraid of
losing what is yours
chorus:
are you giving in to the pressure
holding you again, now he tells you
what it takes to be in love
he believes you're old enough
but how you gonna feel tomorrow
when the day reveals
what you believed was for the sake of love
don't you think you're old enough to know
You're a breed of few and far between
holding on to your romantic dream
oh, rebecca, love is patient
love would understand
oh, rebecca, your decision
is your only chance
Chorus
Bridge:
Oh, rebecca don't confuse what love is
with what some say love should be
should be...

O COME ALL YE FAITHFUL - Michael W. Smith

Sing choirs of angels
sing in exultation
o sing all ye citizens of heav'n above
glory to god
glory in the highest
o come let us adore him
o come let us adore him
o come let us adore him
christ the lord
Yea lord we greet thee
born this happy morning
jesus to thee be all glory giv'n
word of the father

christ the lord

NO EYE HAD SEEN - Michael W. Smith

No eye had seen
no ear had heard
'til hosts on high
proclaimed the birth
and heav'n brough down
(quietly with no one watching)
its only child
(from the womb of perfect peace)
the son of man
(wellspring of our joy delivered)
the world reconciled
(into earthly destiny)
And song broke forth
angelic strain
and none could help
but sing the name
Emmanuel
(kyrie eleison we sing)
Emmanuel
(glory to the newborn king)
Emmanuel
(mortal and immortal voices)
Emmanuel
(endless praises echoing)

NEVER BEEN UNLOVED - Michael W. Smith

One of my favorite wayne lyrics of all time. i still need to hear it.
I have been unfaithful
i have been unworthy
i have been unrighteous
and i have been unmerciful
I have been unreachable
i have been unteachable
i have been unwilling
and i have been undesirable
Chorus:
Sometimes, i have been unwise
i've been undone by what i'm unsure of
but because of you, and all that you went through
i know that i have never been unloved
I have been unbroken
i have been unmended
i have been uneasy
and i've been unapproachable
I've been unemotional
i've been unexceptional
i've been undecided
and i have been unqualified
Chorus:
Unaware, i have been unfair
i've been unfit for blessings from above
but even i can see the sacrifice you made for me
to show that i have never been unloved

MISSING PERSON - Michael W. Smith

Missing person
Still searching for that boy who had the faith to move a mountain. want the fire back.
Another question in me
one for the powers that be
it's got me thrown and so
i put on my poker face
and try to figure it out
this undeniable doubt
a common occurrence
feeling so out of place
Guarded and cynical now
can't help but wondering how
my heart evolved into a
rock beating inside of me
so i reel, such a stoic ordeal
where's that feeling that i don't feel?
Chorus:
There was a boy who had the faith to move a mountain
and like a child he would believe without a reason
without a trace he disappeared into the void and
i've been searching for that missing person
Under a lavender moon
so many thoughts consume me
who dimmed that glowing light
that once burned so bright in me
is this a radical phase
a problematical age
that keeps me running
from all that i used to be
Is there a way to return
is there a way to unlearn
that carnal knowledge
that's chipping away at my soul
i've been gone too long
will i ever find my way home?

Chorus:
There was a boy who had the faith to move a mountain
and like a child he would believe without a reason
without a trace he disappeared into the void and
i've been searching for that missing person
he used to want to try to walk the straight and narrow
he had a fire and he could feel it in the marrow
it's been a long time and i haven't seen him lately but
i've been searching for that missing person

LUX VENIT - Michael W. Smith

Lux venit lux venit
lux venit sursum corda
lux venit lux venit arise
shine for your light has come
by sword by flame
in death solemn ages passed
and voices young
grow old weary
holding fast
hope for the dawning
Lux venit lux venit
lux venit sursum corda
lux venit lux venit arise
shine for your light has come
In grace in might
the babe lay in stable stark
redemptions's light
pierces through the shadows dark
alleluia
Lux venit lux venit
sursum corda
lux venit lux venit arise
shine for your light has come
Lux venit lux venit
lux venit sursum corda
lux venit lux venit arise
shine for your light has come
Alleluia
Lux venit: "the light has come"
sursum corda: "look upwards hearts"

LOVE ONE ANOTHER - Michael W. Smith

I had a dream that i was speaking
with a prophet from the land of wise
in a crowd of people from the land of troubled hearts
i said "we've come here for answers-
a solution to our world's demise"
he said the journey would be long
but here's where you start
chorus:
love one another
love one another
work it in to work it out
there could never be enough
love one another
love one another
'cause you know without a doubt
you can change your world with love
It was a simple conclusion
but i thought that it was rather profound
just a fundamental law that we should all live by
i took it in to tomorrow
yea, i walked the earth but i never found
any corner of the world
where this did not apply
Chorus
Bridge:
and looking out i saw no method to the madness there
like in a vision from the isle of patmos, i was scared
it was a revelation
love is getting rare
The people of the land united
and in my dream we all agreed
that we should start again
and this would be our creed...

LOVE ME GOOD - Michael W. Smith

Probably the most bizarre and unusual song wayne and i have ever written. a driving song about the craziness of everyday life.
Sometimes i feel like this world
is just one big gigantic merry-go-round
you gotta hold on tight or you get hurled through the air
yeah, life is a three-ring circus
with clowns and freaks and camels and such
and you never know when you might be attacked by the bears
Chorus:
Give me love, give me love, love me good
sometimes i feel like
i'm afraid of my own shadow and then
sometimes i can feel as bold as genghis khan
but i could never live in a yurt
on a diet of mongolian barbecue
i conquer the world for a moment, then the moment is gone
Chorus
Bridge:
Let us take a moment now to bow our heads and pray
if only to give thanks for making it through another day
Sometimes i wish i was in a movie
or some 70's tv thing
where everything gets neatly wrapped by the end of the show
yeah, but this ain't hollywood
and this sure ain't the brady bunch
and how this plot's gonna all pan out, i don't really know

LOVE IN THE LIGHT - Michael W. Smith

Darkness thick and heavy,
black and steady screaming darkness
anyone who hates his brother,
who plans evil for another
walks in darkness
sonlight, warm and shining,
purifying, welcome sonlight
everyone who loves completely
with a heart that opens freely
walks in sonlight

chorus:
Let us love in the light
for love is from god
if we love what is right
we show whose we are
in a world of the dying
we're living our parts
if we love in the light
with all of our hearts
Blindness, terrifying, left for dying, spirit blindness
anyone who thirsts for evil plots
his very own upheaval
lost in blindness
new sight, truth unending, faith unbending, new sight
everyone who seeks the father leaves the world
and all its bother
sees with new sight

LOVE CRUSADE - Michael W. Smith

Brother, haven't you noticed
there's a war on the soul of man
hey there, sister
the world is reaching
it could use a helping hand
so come on
no dues are needed
just a kind heart will be enough
there's a hunger
but you can feed it
sign the card and join the club
bridge
we are drawing from an ancient solution
we're embarking on a new regime
we are calling for a new revolution
be part of the parade
get on the love crusade

Chorus:
na na na na
na na na na na
na na na na na na na na
na na na na
na na na na na
na na na na na na na na
Jesus said love your neighbor
like you would love yourself
get together
do him a favor
give your love to someone else
Bridge ii
just a little sets the wheels in motion
a little more and we could change the world
you can shine a light if you have the notion
so get out of the shade
get on the love crusade

Chorus
Rap:
come on everyone
there's a lot that can be done
a little love can go a long, long way
so rise to the occasion
of a radical invasion
(hey) don't let the world go down in flames
fight the fire with a fire
push it to the limit
and be a renegade
light a fuse-make a spark
try to penetrate a heart
there's a burning need to fill the world with love
love is kind, love is sound
it makes the world go round
so it keep it turning
there could never be enough
hatred'll spoil the feast
that's the nature of the beast
so don't ever let your heart be swayed
draw the sword, slay the dragon
get on the bandwagon
and be a fighter on the love crusade

LORD HAVE MERCY - Michael W. Smith

Jesus, i've forgotten the words that you have spoken
promises that burned within my heart have now grown dim
with a doubting heart i follow the paths of earthly wisdom
forgive me for my unbelief
renew the fire again

Chorus
Lord have mercy
christ have mercy
lord have mercy on me

repeat
I have built an altar where i worship things of god
i have taken journeys that have drawn me far from you
now i am returning to your mercies ever flowing
pardon my transgressions
help me love you again

Chorus

I have longed to know you & your tender mercies
like a river of forgiveness ever flowing without end
i bow my heart before you in the goodness of your presence
your grace forever shining
like a beacon in the night

LIVE THE LIFE - Michael W. Smith

We're passengers aboard the train
silent little lambs amidst the pain
that's no longer good enough
and when it's time to speak our faith
we use a language no one can explain
that's no longer good enough
And god knows it's a shame
as we look to pass the flame
we are not the worthy bearers of his name

Chorus:
For the world to know the truth
there can be no greater proof
than to live the life, live the life
there's no love that's quite as pure
there's no pain we can't endure
if we live the life, live the life
be a light for all to see
for every act of love will set you free
There's something beautiful and bold
the power of a million human souls
come together as one
and each in turn goes out to lead
another by his word, his love, his deed
now the circle is done
It all comes back to one
for it is he and he alone
who has lived the only perfect life we've known

LIVE AND LEARN - Michael W. Smith

Never should have tasted that forbidden fruit
tell me why do i always do
what i don't want to do
now, i'm the only reaper of the seeds that i sow
and when i walk the field of my stubborn will
it's a hard row to hoe
there's a price for getting smarter
so i pay what i owe
while bridges burn
let the shadow fall behind me
i am wiser i know
we live and learn
always living and learning
always living and learning
is it out of the fire, back in to the pan
is once enough to let it all sink in-or will i do it again
a time for understanding has now come of age
so i heed the word of the counselor and the voice of the sage
try to see the meaning
read between every line
when pages turn
there'll be no room for explaining what has been well-defined
we live and learn
always living and learning
always living and learning
An engaging temptation had me doing time
'cause when it starts a fire under strong desire
we are partners in crime
but hindsight is clearer
i can where i've gone and never return
it's a new man in the mirror
it's a new freedom song to live and learn
always living and learning
always living and learning

LET ME SHOW YOU THE WAY - Michael W. Smith

I'm looking at you, old friend of mine
there's no use pretending that everything's fine
now don't be so brave, don't be so proud
i want you to know that i'm here for you now
I can see you hurting and it's hurting me
it doesn't have to be this way...

Chorus:
(somebody gonna hold your head up)
if you let me hold you closer
(somebody gonna show you the light)
let me know you
(somebody gonna hold your head up)
let me show you the way
(somebody gonna see you right)
I'm feeling for you, feeling so much
when this heart is big enough for the both of us
i'll give you my love if you give me your pain
i'll hold it inside of me 'till you're stronger again
Well, i hate seeing you so far away
when not a word can say it enough...

Chorus
Bridge:
I'll be your rock for this day
when i hear you calling out my name
'cause i know you'd only do the same for me

LET IT RAIN (ESPAÑOL) - Michael W. Smith

Deja que llueva, deja que llueva
abre las compuertas del cielo

(Repetir)
El Señor reina, dejen que la tierra se alegre,
dejen que las costas lejanas se regocijen
las nubes y una profunda oscuridad lo rodean
La rectitud y la justicia son los fundamentos de Su Trono
Un fuego va delante de Él y consume a Sus enemigos a cada lado
Su relámpago ilumina el mundo

La tierra ve y tiembla
Las montañas se derriten como cera delante del Señor
Delante del Señor de toda la tierra
Los Cielos proclaman Su rectitud
Y todas las personas verán Su Gloria
Queremos ver Tu Gloria Señor!!!!
Querés ver Su Gloria
Levanten sus voces, levanten sus manos

Deja que llueva, deja que llueva
Abre las compuertas del cielo

LET IT RAIN - Michael W. Smith

Let it rain, let it rain.
open the floodgates of heaven
repeat
The lord reigns, let the earth be glad
let the distance shores rejoice
clouds and thick darkness surround him
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne
a fire goes before him and consumes his foes on every side
his lightning lights up the world
the earth sees and trembles
the mountains melt like wax before the lord
before the lord of all the earth
the heavens proclaim his righteousness
and all peoples will see his glory
We want to see your glory, god!
do you want to see his glory?
lift your voices, lift your hands!
Let it rain, let it rain.
open the floodgates of heaven

IN MY ARMS AGAIN - Michael W. Smith

I really wanna see you
i really wanna touch you
if only i could hold you in my arms again
i really wanna reach you
forever to be with you
if only i could hold you in my arms again
It was written in the stars
on the pages of my heart
oh, that someday i would find
the love i feel for you tonight
On the ocean of our dreams
like a prayer you came to me
and the longing that had been
found its ending in your eyes
and i am missing you tonight

Chorus
Across the waves, across the sea
separating you from me
here's a promise and it's mine
i will love you for all time
i'm wishing you were here tonight

I WILL CARRY YOU - Michael W. Smith

"we were never meant to walk this road alone. let's begin to stand in the gap for one another."
Sometimes i wonder if my beating heart has a reason
the thought of breathing only takes my breath away
i've spent so many nights wrestling with this feeling
do i have the strength to make it through the day
but i was never meant
to walk this road alone
i can always trust you
when you say
I will carry you
be your strength
and pull you through
reach for me
and take my hand
we will pray
and we will stand
in a world
crying out for peace
let your heart be strong
for when i am weak
you will carry me
Sometimes you wonder if the road you're on has a reason
it's hard to go on when you just don't know
we can shoulder all the weight of life between us
until the fear of what we cannot see is gone
'cause we were never meant
to walk this road alone
we are bound together
when we say...

I WILL BE YOUR FRIEND - Michael W. Smith

"thank you to all of my closest friends and comrades for being consistent and not giving up on me."
So many memories and so many miles
the road that stretches behind us
we've had some laughter and our share
of tears
but all these moments unite us
I'll be your friend for a lifetime
against the wind and the rain of every season
won't walk away in the hard times
i will be your friend
i'm saying i will be your friend
Sure as the river runs to the sea
high as the mountain that reaches
you were there by my side till the end
(and) helped me on my feet again
So in the valley walk on
don't have to face it alone
cause in the hard times
we keep growing strong
as we learn, as we live
that we live when we give

I WILL BE HERE FOR YOU - Michael W. Smith

When you feel the sunlight
fade into the cold night
don't know where to turn
i don't know where to turn
and all the dreams you're dreaming
seem to lose their meaning
let me in your world
baby, let me in your world
all you need is someone you can hold
don't be sad, you're not alone

chorus:
I will be here for you
somewhere in the night
somewhere in the night
i'll shine a light for you
somewhere in the night
i'll be standing by
i will be here for you
In this world of strangers
of cold and friendly faces
someone you can trust
oh there's someone you can trust
i will be your shelter
i'll give you my shoulder
just reach out for my love
reach out for my love
call my name and my heart will hear
i will be there, there's nothing to fear

I WANNA TELL THE WORLD - Michael W. Smith

I saw you
and you saw me
and i didn't even know your name
just one look
that was all it took
and i knew i'd never be the same
if walkin' on air compares to what i feel
then how can i keep it sealed when...

chorus:
I wanna tell the world
if the smile on my face
hasn't given me away already
i wanna tell the world
there ain't no way to hide it
your love has got me flyin' high
since the day
That you looked my way
i knew we were meant to be together
now i thank the lord
for a love like yours
'cause i know it's gonna last forever
it's hard to believe my dreams have all come true
and i'm so inlove with you that...

Chorus

Bridge:
I just want the world to know
love has got me good to go
[i wanna tell the world, i wanna tell the world]
i have got to get it out
she is all i think about
[i wanna tell the world, i wanna tell the world]
it's something' that i need to say
love has overtaken me

I STILL HAVE THE DREAM - Michael W. Smith

"don't you ever forget that he has given us a future and a hope."
Said it's sad, said it was a shame
bet you thought i caught a boat to bombay
on the line just to let you know
i will be around
Underneath the bridge to nowhere
like i'm livin' out a game of solitaire
goin' up to a better day
i will be around
Hey world, it's me
i still have the heart, still have the dream
Come on, people
we've got to come together
it's you and me
hope will make us stronger
freedom it rings
do you hear it calling
reach out and touch
and love will take us higher
Somebody threw a brick at my vision
tried to sabotage my mission
either way, i believe
i will be around
I wanna know, people are you with me
open up your heart and just believe
take a step, let me hear you say
i will be around
Hey world, it's me
i still have the heart, still have the dream
For he knows the plans he has for you
a plan to prosper and not to harm you
to give you a future, and a hope

El Señor es mi Rey - Cantos Varios

El Señor es mi rey
mi todo...

El Señor es mi luz my Rey!

El me hace vibrar de gozo
el guia mis pasos, que extiende sus brazos, el Creador de los cielos...

El Señor es mi rey
mi todo...

El Señor es mi luz my Rey!

El me hace vibrar de gozo
el guia mis pasos, que extiende sus brazos, el Creador de los cielos...

I SEE YOU - Michael W. Smith

Lord, you're leading me
with a cloud by day
and then in the night
the glow of a burning flame
And everywhere i go i see you
everywhere i go i see you
And you take my hand
and you wash it clean
i know the promised land
is light years ahead of me
And everywhere i go i see you
everywhere i go i see you
And the eagle flies
and the rivers run
i look through the night
i can see the risin' sun
And everywhere i go i see you
everywhere i go i see you
Well, the grass will die
and the flowers fall
but your word's alive
will be after all
And everywhere i go i see you
everywhere i go i see you

I MISS THE WAY - Michael W. Smith

Once a true believer
once there was a fire in your soul
you were the epitome of blessed faith astir
with thirst for holiness
and hunger for the word
now you move in other circles
to the beat of different drums
and i see only glimpses of the one you used to be
the inspiration that you were to me

chorus:

I miss the way his love would dance within your eyes
i miss the way his heart was the soul of your life
and somewhere in the saddest part of heaven's room
our father sheds a tear for you
he's missing you, too
Some are calling you a prodigal
some aren't calling you at all
but far away someone is calling you back home
do you hear it anymore out there on your own
Chorus
Once a true believer...

I KNOW YOUR NAME - Michael W. Smith

Who is the you that no one else can see
in your heart, a lonely one afraid to be
lost again, need a friend
You hide your soul to keep the hurt inside
all alone, your tears call out into the night
is he there, does he care

Chorus

Yes, i know your name
every prayer you pray
i'm the one who brought you to this place
the voice who sings to you
the hand that clings to you
oh my child, i've always known your name... known your name
I hold you close to me, close to heart
and this kind of love will find you anywhere you are
never fear, i am here

I HEAR LEESHA - Michael W. Smith

Seems like it was only yesterday
she was living here
yea, she was living here
lord knows why he's taken her away
it isn't very clear, no it isn't very clear
into every life a little rain must fall
and losing one you love is like a storm
but storms are passing

chorus:

I hear leesha
singing in heaven tonight
and in between the sadness
i hear leesha
telling me that she's alright
life goes on even after life
that's what i believe
yea, that's what i believe
leesha's gone, but she will still survive
in a memory that i'm keeping here with me
silencing the voice of mortal tragedy
listening to whispers of the soul
all is peaceful

I GIVE YOU MY HEART - Michael W. Smith

This is my desire
to honor you
lord with all my heart
i worship you
all i have within me
i give you praise
all that i adore is in you
Lord, i give you my heart
i give you my soul
i live for you alone
every breath i take
every moment i'm awake
lord, have your way in me

I CAN HEAR YOUR VOICE - Michael W. Smith

I'm in the river that flows from your throne
water of life
water of life
it covers me and i breath again
your love is breath to my soul
I can hear your voice as you sing over me
it's your song of hope breathing life into me
i can feel your touch as i come close to you
and it heals my heart
you restore and renew

I AM SURE - Michael W. Smith

Looking at the future
who can tell you what is going on
it seems we have become the generation
of wars and bombs
and the heart grows weak
and the fear grows strong
that the day may come and it may not be very long
and you want to run
but you don't know where
so where do you go
i know
and i tell you
chorus:
i am sure there will be a day
but it will not be like the nations say
the lord will come when this life is through
and his deep desire is to be with you
hearts will fly when the new world starts
and joy will rise like the morning star
god will meet every cry of the heart
and it's my prayer
i want you to be there
I like to think about the new creation
things that god will do
so every now and then i stop and close my eyes
i enjoy the view
and the heart grows strong
and the fear grows weak
and i cannot wait for the new world to come to me
and while i dream
oh, i pray for you
'cause he wants you to go
i know
and i tell you

HELP YOU FIND YOUR WAY - Michael W. Smith

It can be wise
or it can be a paradox
to seek solace in your solitude
and when it feels
like you're living in a box
you need someone who believes in you
a promise true when tried
i'll be right here by your side
so whenever your need be
know that you can lean on me

chorus:

I'll help you find your way
i'll help you find your way
when you're lost in all the madness
when you're blinded by your doubt
when you need someone to be there for you
i'll help you find your way
Don't keep your thoughts
locked behind your cellar door
all shrouded in a mystery
just let them out
that's what friends are for
to give without giving the "third degree"
no need to be ashamed
i've been thru' it just the same
so when your path misleads
know that you can call on me

HELLO, GOODBYE - Michael W. Smith

Where's the navigator of your destiny?
where is the dealer of this hand?
who can explain life and its brevity
'cause there is nothing here that i can understand
You and i have barely met
and i just don't want to let go of you yet

Chorus:

Noah, hello, goodbye
i will see you on the other side
noah, sweet child of mine
i will see you on the other side
And so i hold your tiny hand in mine
for the hardest thing i've ever had to face
heaven calls for you before it calls for me
when you get there, save me a place
A place where i can share your smile
and i can hold you for more than just a while

HEALING RAIN - Michael W. Smith

Healing rain is coming down
It's coming nearer to this old town
Rich and poor, weak and strong
It's bringing mercy, it won't be long

Healing rain is coming down
It's coming closer to the lost and found
Tears of joy, and tears of shame
Are washed forever in Jesus' name

Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain

Lift your heads, let us return
To the mercy seat where time began
And in your eyes, I see the pain
Come soak this dry heart with healing rain
And only You, the Son of man
Can take a leper and let him stand
So lift your hands, they can be held
By someone greater, the great I Am

Healing rain, it comes with fire
So let it fall and take us higher
Healing rain, I'm not afraid
To be washed in Heaven's rain

To be washed in Heaven's rain

Healing rain is falling down
Healing rain is falling down
I'm not afraid
I'm not afraid
[repeat]

HAND OF PROVIDENCE - Michael W. Smith

Providence, providence
see it laying down the cornerstone
the hand of providence - it's evident
for we could never make it on our own
apportioning the power
weighing all that it entails
giving us the fulcrum
and a balance to the scales

Chorus:

Oh, the hand of providence
is guiding us through choices that we make
oh, the hand of providence
is reaching out to help us on our way
Providence, ever since
any thesis ever entered man
the hand of providence
has been our best defense
tho' his ways are sometimes hard to understand
from the dying of a heartbeat
to another soul reborn
from in between and circling
our thoughts of love and war

GREAT IS THE LORD - Michael W. Smith

Great is the lord,
he is holy and just
by his power we trust
in his love
great is the lord
he is faithful and true
by his mercy he proves
he is love

Chorus:

Great is the lord
and worthy of glory
great is the lord
and worthy of praise
great is the lord
now lift up your voice
now lift up your voice
great is the lord
great is the lord
Great is the lord,
he is holy and just
by his power we trust
in his love
great is the lord
he is faithful, and true
by his mercy he proves
he is love

Chorus
Great are you lord
and worthy of glory
great are you lord
and worthy of praise
great are you lord
i lift up my voice
i lift up my voice
great are you lord
great are you lord

GO WEST YOUNG MAN - Michael W. Smith

I'm blazing a trail that leads to vice
so easily enticed
by darker means
when out of the wilderness of choice
i hear that one still voice
call to me

Chorus:

Go west young man
go west young man
when the evil go east
go west young man
go west young man
find a heart that's golden
Why must i wander like a cloud
following the crowd
well i don't know
but i'm asking for the will to fight
to wear the crown of life
and you say go

Chorus
The mind is weak the heart is frail
when it goes beyond the pale
so unwise

GIVE IT AWAY - Michael W. Smith

She asked him for forever
and a promise that would last
he said, "babe you know i love you
but i can't commit to that"
she said, "love isn't love
'till you give it away"
a father lived in silence
saw his son become a man
there was a distance felt between them
'cause he could not understand
that love isn't love
'till you give it away
you gotta give it away

Chorus:
as we live
moving side by side
may we learn to give
learn to sacrifice
we can entertain compassion
for a world in need of care
but the road of good intentions
doesn't lead to anywhere
'cause love isn't love
'till you give it away
you gotta give it away

Chorus
Love is like a river
flowing down from the giver of life
we drink from the water
and our thirst is no longer denied
you gotta give it away

Chorus

There was a man who walked on water
he came to set the people free
he was the ultimate example
of what love can truly be
'cause his love was his life
and he gave it away
you gotta give it away

repeat chorus
