Come stay with me now
for the rain comes too fast
I need you dear Sun
to be round me long last
I hear the thunderstorm
and lightning in the distance warn
- But I trust you
I can feel the energy
the winds of change are changing me
Come wrap me in warmth
and lead me in light
I need you dear Sun
To make day out of night
I hear the thunderstorm
and lightning in the distance warn
- But I trust you
I can feel the energy
the winds of change are changing me
The Sun has begun to shine on me
The Sun has begun to shine on me
Wind blowing the trees
trick the leaves... to fall down
But I can't believe
that it can.. bring me down
The Sun has begun to shine on me
The Sun has begun to shine on me

Maybe this time its different
though it feels the same
Maybe what I knew as love
now has another name
Maybe I was waiting
not so long ago
Looking round for something
I had never known
But I'll Go On
I'll Go On
I'll Go On Tonight
I somehow feel you've held me
a thousand times before
But I know its the first time
you've walked through that door
Even if you let you
and I let go of you
When everything is changing
One thing is true
I'll Go On
I'll Go On
I'll Go On Tonight
Seems so simple, feels so right
being with you tonight
Seems so simple, feels so right
being with you tonight
But I'll Go On
I'll Go On
I'll Go On Tonight
And I thought I'd never trust again
and I thought I'd never love again
And I thought I'd never feel again
and I thought I'd never live again
and I thought I'd never see tonight

Ringing loudly in my ears I'll tell the story
of how I learned to love and why I give you glory
God of all the universe we give you praise
throughout all time from age to age
You make me still
You were
you are
you'll always be
My one victorious
The love I find that set me free
you are my glorious
In you who is the Son of God and Son of Man
a love too deep to understand
You make me still
You make me still
Oh You make me still
You make me...
ooooo ohhhhh
When all else fades away
when all else fades away
You make me still
You make me still
Oh you make me still, still
You make me...

I saw the child in need with such a hungry mouth to feed
They said "please lend a hand, it seems like you might understand me"
But my hands are tied there's nothing left, you know I've tried to do my best
And I'm not sure if what I did, could change the life of this young kid
when he said...
when you say..
Please... Help Me!
When you say
Please Help Me.
Justice! He's a person too, just tell me God what I should do
Speak out for the innocent, the poor as well are heaven sent
You know its true
when you say..
Please... Help Me!
Yeah you say
Please Help Me.
Oh you know you know you say
Please Help Please help
When you say
Please help Please
But I ain't no Savior,
And I ain't no Saint
You're lookin for something yeah
Looking for change change change!
Ohhhhh if you just believe
that you can be the change you want to see.
Please... Help Me!
Please Help Me
Oh why don't ya
Please Please Please
Help Me!
ohhhh ooo
They're looking for something...
<spoken>
Make me instrument..
Where there is hatred let me so love
Where there is doubt, faith
where there is despair, hope
where there is darkness, light
where there is sadness, joy

What have I done,
what I have I done
what have I done
leaving You so far behind
And why did I run
why did I run
why did I run
when I was so lost and blind
Speak
Tell me the truth
Tell me the truth
Tell me the truth
Did I miss out when I left
And how could you love
how could you love
how could you love
how could you love me til the death?
Speak to me
Cause I need to hear You speak
at the end of the day You wash me in grace
and I'm made clean again
I'm made clean
at the end of the day
You wash me in grace
and I'm made clean again
I'm made clean again
I'm made clean
oooohhhhh ooooohooo
Look what You've done
Look what You done
Look what You've done
I am new
because of You!
Speak to me
Cause I need
yeah I need to hear You

AS IF YOU HAD WINGS
by Marcus Eaton
The first time I ever saw Marcus play live my jaw hit the floor at the first song and I picked up my jaw 40 minutes later after his set was done. yeah. A ridiculous talent who tours with David Crosby.
