Flirting Heart
Back To You

Pain Of Love
You Can't Get There From Here
Who Is Your God?
Show And Tell
Loved To Jesus
This Grace
Reaching back to distant memories as far as I can go
I asked You into my tender heart, I really meant it I know
And with one breath of childlike faith
You flooded my life with Your gift of grace
Chorus:
This grace is overwhelming, this grace is undeserving
This grace is undeniable, nothing can take away this grace
Sometimes I sit and wonder if I'm really any different today
Than I'd be if we'd never met back on that summer day
And all at once You break right through
And show me a side of me I never knew
Chorus
A baby doesn't choose to be born
A dead man doesn't choose to revive
And I am forever grateful that in Christ I've been made alive
Chorus

On The Other Side
Chorus:
Oh the grass is always greener
And the road is always straighter
And the water's always sweeter
On the other side, on the other side
It's four o'clock. She must get home to put his supper on, so
She thanks her for the coffee and hurries herself along
And as she drives she wistfully sighs
She envies her friend who is single again
Chorus
It's 4:05. Her friend just left to put his supper on, well
It must be nice to have someone missing you when you're gone
She thinks of her friend and wishes again
That soon in this life she'll be somebody's wife
Chorus
Some wish their kids were older, or maybe a little bit younger
We've gotta earn more than the folks next door
But why is nobody content anymore
Chorus

Flirting Heart
What was he thinking, why was he smiling
Why did he have that look in his eyes
Retracing each word that they spoke to each other
An innocent meeting
But something's brewing inside her
A feeling she recalls from days gone by
And she closes her eyes to let the dream begin, oh
Chorus:
Look out, look out
You're headed for trouble
Think back, think back
To the vows you made
Give it up, give it up
And never let your mind run off, no, no
With your flirting heart
Now it's late in the evening, she tries not to wake him
She checks on the kids and then tiptoes to bed
And her heart is so full with this would-be romance
With her innocence fleeting
Something's brewing inside her
A feeling growing stronger by the night
And she closes her eyes to let the dream run wild, oh
Chorus
You know it doesn't take much for a dream to become reality
And it doesn't take a lot to tear a world apart
Remember the one who pledged himself faithfully to you
And think of all the lives that hang in the balance between
You and your flirting heart, so
Chorus

Back To You
She seemed to really know You
Way back at the start
She seemed to really love You
When she gave You her heart
We'd talk about Your goodness
And we'd praise You for Your grace
Now I don't understand
How she could turn and walk away, won't You
Chorus:
Chip away at her soul
Break her heart in two
Do whatever it takes, Lord
To bring her back to You
Won't You turn her laughter to tears
Then envelop her in Your arms
Don't let her rest another night
Before giving her life back to You
Now I don't have the answers
To the questions in my mind
Like how could she receive her sight
And yet remain so blind
She thinks she's really living now
And there's nothing left to say
And since only You can change her heart
I will commit to pray that You'll
Chorus
Lord, she needs to come back home
Oh, I will not stop praying for her
Till she's safely back in the fold, won't You
Chorus

Learning To Forgive
I've got something to tell you
Don't mean to take you off-guard
But this has gotta be said although it might be hard
Now I've been trying to forget
What you're calling water under the bridge
My hurt's been hiding all sealed up tight
It nearly drove me to the edge, but I'm
Chorus:
Learning to forgive you
I'm finally getting on with my life
There's no use waiting for apologies that'll never come
I'm learning to forgive, forgive you
Oh, I forgive you
I'm learning to forgive, forgive you
Oh, I forgive you
Now what you did was wrong
Believe what you want to believe
But God's untangling the web I sat and watched you weave
And should it all come out in the open
Without my saying a word
You'd think I'd be glad for the justice
To have compassion seems absurd
But it's because I'm
Chorus
I was forgiven when I knew not what I'd done
And maybe you don't have a clue
But brother, I forgive you
Chorus
We can't love God and hate our brother
We've gotta forgive, gotta pray for one another
We can't love God and hate our brother
We can't love God and hate our brother
We've gotta forgive, gotta pray for one another
We can't love God and hate our brother
I'm learning, I'm learning to forgive you

Pain Of Love
A young girl by the windowsill staring at the sky
Too painful to hold on, she starts to cry
She didn't know her heart could love so much it almost hurt
But, oh the pain of love that's unreturned
This boy was like no other boy in all the junior high
And calling out to Heaven, she cried
Chorus:
Why does love have to hurt
Why does this battle seem to always be in me
Jesus, help me now to know You'll never go
Or leave me alone in the pain of love
An older girl in the autumn chill staring down the road
She wipes a tear and then she turns to go
She'd watched her babies growing up, she'd cherished every day
And now her youngest child has gone away
And she knew the hardest part of love was learning to let go
But this was more than she'd bargained for and so she cried out
Chorus
It's been quite a while since they said 'I do', now looking in his eyes
Funny how things change and how time flies
She didn't know her heart would change, it wasn't in her plans
It's gonna take some work and tears to mend
So she grabs her dusty Bible and she kneels down on the floor
With tears streaming down her face she gives it to the Lord
Chorus
What are we seeking that we do not understand
Love's more than feelings or a ring upon your hand
But it's worth fighting for and never letting go
A lifelong struggle but a miracle
Chorus:
That's why love has to hurt
That's why this battle seems to always be in me
'Cause Jesus helps me now to know He'll never go
Or leave me alone in the pain of love
Chorus
I'm never alone in the pain of love

You Can't Get There From Here
Let me tell you a story about a guy named Ed
He goes to church every Sunday, they keep him real well-fed
Assumes he's going to Heaven but it's never been clear
But church-going don't cut it 'cause, baby
You can't get there from here
And then there's Jackie, she gives love away
She volunteers at the shelter most every day
She doesn't worry 'bout Heaven
She's really got no fear
But love's not the answer 'cause, Jackie
You can't get there from here
Chorus:
But Jesus, He's the One
The only way to Heaven
When all is said and done
Left on our own
We haven't got a prayer
'Cause when it comes to Heaven, without Him
You can't get there from here
We're funny people, we don't wanna be told
Don't wanna touch 'closed-mindedness' with a ten-foot pole
And so we keep on searching while the truth's right there
That if you're looking for Heaven, without Him
You can't get there from here
Chorus

Who Is Your God?
Chorus:
Who is your God
Who calls your name in the still of the night
Who is your God
Who holds you up when you can't stand and fight
Who is your God
Where do you turn when you just need a friend
Who is your God
Another Sunday afternoon, the kids are vying for his time
But he's got e-mail to return and a client on the line
Daddy's got his job
But he doesn't understand
That the meaning of this life
Isn't drawn in deeds and plans
And someday he'll discover his god will not deliver
Chorus
She's driving home in pouring rain, what a day today has been
She just can't wait to get back home and find security again
Only one thing on her mind
As she stumbles through the door
And she pours herself a drink
And she pours herself some more
And it'll slowly kill her, but Heaven longs to fill her
Chorus
Everyone is serving someone
Something rules our minds
What consumes your inner being
Who controls your time
Chorus
return to top
That's What You're Looking For
Annie's got her hands full
Every Sunday you can find her down the hall
A couple babies in her lap playing paper doll
She don't really mind it
That her clothes get wrinkled kneeling on the floor
'Cause she knows what's going on down the corridor
Moms and dads are meeting the Divine
Hearing about God's love for them for the very first time
Chorus:
Lord, help us see
When we're willing to dirty our knees
And give up any pride or prestige
That's what You're looking for
People willing to do
Whatever You're calling us to
When there's nobody watching but You
That's what You're looking for
Susan's got her hands full
She carries out the trash on Tuesday nights
She mops the floor, replaces broken lights
She don't really mind it
Giving up her every Saturday afternoon
Though she knows her deeds will be undone quite soon
She knows first impressions mean a lot to some
And while Susan's losing free time
Souls are being won, oh
Chorus
He's looking for faithful ones to carry out His plan
To secretly extend a helping hand
Chorus

Show And Tell
Here I am once again
Wondering which direction to follow
I trust Your faithful, guiding hand
You're the Dreamer and Designer of my soul
Chorus:
This life I live belongs to You
Now I'm not sure which path to choose
Oh, Your love has led me to this fork in the road
So show and tell me, Lord
Which way to go
As I look back on my life
I am so amazed at where You've brought me
You've led me safely through the night
To prepare me for the place I am today
Chorus
'Cause any road without You
Is a desperate life to lead
I won't move until I know
It's Your Spirit moving me
Chorus
I need to know
Please show and tell me, Lord
Which way to go

Loved To Jesus
She's always there on Thursdays
Stacking cans in aisle five
She's the meanest looking woman you've ever seen
So you quickly pass on by
You hear her cussing and complaining
Of how it's hard to make ends meet
And the muttering continues
Till you're safely out of reach
And she doesn't need a brand new Cadillac
A new job or fancy clothes
What the woman needs more than any of these is
To be loved to Jesus
He stands at the intersection
At the corner of Main and Rhodes
No matter the weather or the time of the day
You make sure your window's closed
The same old sign he's held for weeks
It says he'll work for food
And you wonder when somebody'll help him
As you drive off in your solitude
And he doesn't really need a resume, a clean shave or even a job
What the man needs more than any of these is
To be loved to Jesus
We are His feet, we are His hands
We need to radically love this world till they finally understand
Down at the corner clinic
They're handing out horrendous advice
And they're passing out condoms in the name of safe sex
While the unborn baby dies
And you are rightly filled with fury
Every time that you pass by
But you holler obscenities over the phone
Hoping to save a life
But they don't need bombs in the name of the Lord
Or hatred or unrighteous rage
What the people need more than any of these is
To be loved to Jesus
There in the Oval Office
The power that rests in his hands
He could use some Divine wisdom
As he attempts to lead this land
But so often we sit and complain now
And we wonder how much worse it'll be
But it's never too late for God to change a heart
We've gotta be on our knees
'Cause no matter if they work in a grocery store
Or an office on Capitol Hill
What the world needs more than any of these is
To be loved to Jesus
We've gotta love them to Jesus
