Turn the Lights On/Amazing Grace
Verse I
Turn the Lights on this is Heaven,
take off your coat and stay awhile.
We’ve got all the time, round’ here before time runs out.
Say the nations are here, and the atmosphere
is like nothing I’ve ever felt.
I’ve been having me some conversations
in a strange new language,
words coming right outta’ my mouth.
And we’ve all just been signing the most beautiful song; it goes.
Chorus
Hallelujah! Salvation and glory,
honor and power unto the Lord our God.
Verse II
I was welcomed in with a trumpet blast...
A trumpet blast, can you believe that?!
The tears wiped away from my eyes.
There was no more sorrow, no more pain, no more death,
no more brokenness; all the former things had passed away.
And we’ve all just been singing the most beautiful song.
Chorus
Hallelujah! Salvation and glory,
honor and power unto the Lord our God.
Bridge
When we’ve been there, ten thousand years
bright shining as the sun.
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praises
then when we first begun.
Turn the lights on.

Aware
Verse I
I had a feeling we were falling apart
don't you go breakin my heart
I had a dream you were playing with fire
don't you go makin me cry.
I spent a long time shaping you
long time making you.
Verse II
Where'd the time go? It's slipping away
hey, we've got to get going before you change
your mind for good. your mind for bad
Times slipping and you're falling away.
Verse III
I should be fighting fire for you
I'm trying hard for you
I'm giving the best I can
believe in my strength, believe that I am
Aware of you,
I'm aware of you.
I won't back down
till you're safe and sound
track you down, track you down (believe me now? )
Aware of you
I'm aware of you
I'm here, I'm here, i'm here, right here
I'm here, I'm here, right here
Verse IV
I wish you'd find out,
find out for yourself.
(rest 1 bar)
I wish you'd call out, call out,
reach out, stumble out, break down, fall down
and rise back up ,rise back up with Me.
There's only one true, one true Peace.

Dear John (You're on my Mind)
I'm so shot up but my eyes are dry
I'm seeing your face for the very first time.
You are on my mind.
Remembering times when you made us laugh,
living each day like its the last we had.
You are on my mind.
Farewell, goodnight.
So caught up on a September's day
woulda' held you longer if I knew it'd be
the very last time.
There's a little boy here who looks just like dad
one day I'll tell em' bout the times we had.
You are on my mind.
Farewell, goodnight.
I hope when they lay you down in the earth
the sun comes out and shines new like you.
You are on my mind.
Farewell, goodnight.

Goodness
V1
Right and Wrong I've entertained em both.
Gave em the best seats to my lavish show.
Brought em along every time I thought,
holding em hostage at my carnal ball.
Nobody's getting out here alive
(one of those thoughts I kept hostage inside my mind.)
It was a tough way to live but I was living it;
confusion's confusing when you're stuck in it.
V2
Right and Wrong well one's gotta go,
I'll need a miracle just to believe one could.
Help to do right along the way,
remind me the purpose to my every day.
C
Goodness
The best part now is just waking up.
Goodness
In a world gone mad God you're still reaching out.
V3
If there's hope in me it's because of You.
If there's love in me it's only You.
If there's good in me it's the good in You.
The life left in me, it's all for You.
Outro
Surely goodness and mercy will follow me, all the days of my life.

Cover Me
Till the storm is over the wind is silent
Cover me with Your hands
Till the rain stops beating through this ceiling
Cover me with Your hands
Till the power returns, till the daylight dawns
Cover me with Your hands
Till the storm is over, the daylight dawns
Cover me with Your hands
