Yellow Bird

(Verse 1)
She sits on the threshold of what her life might be.
She plays with fulfillment of possibilities.
She turns from a past that she doesn’t want to see.
She picks with abandon, the fruit of a famous tree.
(Pre Chorus)
But when the door slams on all she’s left behind,
has the summer sun burned what’s on the other side?
(Chorus)
Then along comes a little Yellow Bird,
and it sings a new love song, with words she’s already heard.
It seems to know her past and where she’s gone;
and if she listens very carefully she’s gonna learn a new song.
La-la-la-la-la-la-laaa
La-la-la-la-la-laaa
(Verse 2)
She sits on a swing outside where she won’t be,
and dreams of holding hands with one that she can see.
Life suddenly is so full of mystery.
She’s saving all her wisdom; cause the answers, they aren’t free.
(Pre Chorus)
And as the bough breaks that held the swing so high,
if she reaches out for him, will he catch her or just wave goodbye?
(Chorus)
Then along comes a little Yellow Bird,
and it sings a new love song with words she’s already heard.
It helps her choose a path to move along,
and if she listens long enough to hear, she just might learn a new song.
La-la-la-la-la-la-laaa
La-la-la-la-la-laaa
(Bridge)
Of all the falling stars that she’s never seen
She kisses all their scars, but the wounds, they just won’t heal.
And the solid rock that sits in the shadows where he’s been,
now fishes for the words that’ll bring her back again, bring her back again.
(Chorus 2x)
Then along comes a little Yellow Bird,
and it sings a new love song with words she’s already heard.
It tells her why she goes to where she’s drawn
and if she slows enough to listen, she hears a brand new song.
Then along comes a little Yellow Bird,
and it sings a new love song with words she’s already heard.
It gives her all it can and then it’s gone.
Now that she’s taken time to listen, she’s singing a new song.
La-la-la-la-la-la-laaa
La-la-la-la-la-laaa

Closer To Heaven

Verse 1:
How can I describe to you,
the pleasure I get from the things you do?
Every day, every day I've been trying to tell you
how I feel when I'm this close to you.
Chorus:
I feel Closer To Heaven when I'm with you
I feel Closer To Heaven because of the things you do.
I feel Closer To Heaven every time we touch
I feel Closer To Heaven because Gods love is so much....
……a part of you
Verse 2:
You wake me in the morning with a smile
that says, "Honey, I love you."
Your eyes tell me I can survive any trial
if I only lean on you.
Chorus:
And I feel Closer To Heaven when I kiss your lips
I feel Closer To Heaven from the touch of your finger-tips
I feel Closer To Heaven when I see your face
I feel Closer To Heaven anytime, any-place…..I love you
Bridge:
Your smile looks to me like angels watching over me
Your voice sounds like angels singing a song, oh, so sweet
I see heaven in your eyes when you’re looking into mine
With you I've found paradise. So please never let me go.
Chorus:
I feel Closer To Heaven when I'm with you
I feel Closer To Heaven because of the things you do.
I feel Closer To Heaven every time we touch
I feel Closer To Heaven because Gods love is so much....a part of you.
And I feel Closer To Heaven when I kiss your lips
I feel Closer To Heaven from the touch of your finger-tips
I feel Closer To Heaven when I see your face
I feel Closer To Heaven anytime, any-place…..I love you

The Outside Looking In

I don't know how it happened, once again like this
I'm always on the outside, The Outside Looking In
I don't know how it happened once again this way
Our Passion and our love has somehow gone away
And don't you know deep down inside I'm saddened
I'm tired of the pain. I'm ready for a change
So once again it's me on The Outside Looking In
No matter how I've tried I never quite fit in
And if you've ever loved me I don't remember when
Cause I'm always on the outside, The Outside Looking In
Somehow I've been estranged. Simply left out of your life
It doesn't seem to matter that I took you for my
You never ever valued the good inside of me
You only found my faults, that is the one thing you could see
It seems to me you tried to make this happen
I don't need the abuse. I guess it's just no use
So once again it's me on The Outside Looking In
No matter how I've tried I never quite fit in
And if you've ever loved me I don't remember when
Cause I'm always on the outside, The Outside Looking In
You say you cannot take the time it takes to save our love
Well, say no more baby, I think I've heard enough
Forever isn't long enough to fix what we have lost
So I'm walking out the door
And once again it's me on The Outside Looking In
No matter how I've tried I never quite fit in
And if you've ever loved me I don't remember when
Cause I'm always on the outside, The Outside Looking In

The Water

I’ve been searching for a saviour
With the strength to rescue me
A saviour with their arms wide open
One that looks past what they see
And every time I hear the water
I hear the source of my blessing
growing loud as I grow nearer
and my soul joins in as it sings
I’ve been walking by this river
searching for a heart to small to see
and if I find it will it tell me
just where I’m supposed to be
And every time I see the water
I see the way to my cleansing
Reflecting back just like a mirror
The things I’ve tried to hide from me
Now I stand before my father
Standing tall ‘cause he’s watching
And the pain of ice cold water
frees my heart, and it starts to sing
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
I throw my heart back to the river
And see my saviour there waiting
And I release the pain I’ve hidden
to the water flowing fast from me
And every time I feel the water
Inspiration flows through me
And I must go to where it’s sending
For only there can I be free
Doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-doo
Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo

Watch how the Lord transforms this place
Feel how the spirit moves you
See how the love transforms each face
Look around only smiles greet you
And I want to be a part of your mission here Lord
Use me as an instrument to spread your word
The spirit moved within our lives
And brought us together here at Abundant Life
I know the Holy Spirit has never been more alive
Than it is right here at Abundant Life
And I want to be a part of your mission here Lord
Use me as an instrument to spread your word
Abundant Life, Lord that's what you've given me
Morning, noon, and night you're everything I need
Abundant Life, Lord that's what you've given me
Morning, noon, and night you're everything I need
(GTR solo)
The comfort we feel when we come here
We know is a gift of your eternal grace
The melting away of all our fears
Comes when we look around; and everywhere see your face
And I want to be a part of your mission here Lord
Use me as an instrument to spread your word
Abundant Life, Lord that's what you've given me
Morning, noon, and night you're everything I need
Abundant Life, Lord that's what you've given me
Morning, noon, and night you're everything I need
(repeat)
