Album: Changes
"Changes"
WRITTEN BY:
KEVIN JARVIS ©© 2001
The thought of making changes
is scary in itself
Jump into a new skin, the
old one's on the shelf
My map is always changing,
destination is unknown
You claim that these changes
are helping me to grow
CHORUS:
And I know I need them
And I know I fear them
And I hope I reap what's
been sown
The map again is charted,
the destination is unknown
A roadblock or a detour again
is sure to come
And when I stumble upon one,
I will stop and pray
For the Lord to lead me,
he always finds a way
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Change is like an ocean
It just keeps on flowing
You can fight the waves
Or ride them all the way
Leaves are changing colour,
the wind begins to chill
Change is coming to the land
it has and always will
I can't keep on scouring,
sleep my life away
It's time to make some choices
It's time to make a change
CHORUS
"Show Me The
Way"
WRITTEN BY:
KEVIN JARVIS & WILL HAWKSWORTH ©© 2001
I search the one
The source you call God
I am seeking truth
Searching for solid proof
CHORUS 1
Show me the way to know,
I want to see
Show me the way to know,
I want to believe
My eyes can't see the things
that make me believe
In deception it's told
Love is something you can
hold
Faith is believing in what's
seen
Not in a world of dreams
CHORUS 2
Show me the way to know,
I want to see
Show me the way to know,
I want to believe
It is hard to conceive
If seeing is meant to believe
BRIDGE
I'm breathing air that I
can't see
Love unseen burns in me
As I search for ways to reveal
every truth that lies in me
When your eyes fail to show
The things your heart just
knows
Look through the eyes of
faith
And let your heart lead the
way
CHORUS 1
"These Hands"
WRITTEN BY:
WILL HAWKSWORTH ©© 2001
Awaken to the sound of light
How my eyes can see so far
I breathe in the air that's
all around me
Life that we all are part
I feel the wind's strength
on me
How my mind can think so
long
I'm thrown into awe with
all of my surroundings
The sun and the world belong
PRE CHORUS
But this is not enough
We get too caught up with
loss
We take it all in our hands
But we fail to measure the
cost
CHORUS
I find it in my heart and
I'm relieved
I look beyond the culture
we breed
And I will not play God
For only God will let me
see, and be
These hands that of which
I reach
How they can do so much
To give me such strength,
with the gift of choice
What's this life gonna be
Intrigued by the deadly sins
They appeal like a wicked
scent
Envy and greed, and the lust
TV's portraying
How does one ever see?
PRE CHORUS & CHORUS
"Prodigal Son"
WRITTEN BY:
KEVIN JARVIS ©© 2001
I am the lost sheep
Don't bother seeking me
I'm not the mustard seed,
no faith in me
I am the blind fool
Can't even read the golden
rule
Even if I should, I don't
know if I would
CHORUS
Never gonna be the one to
start
Never gonna have a change
of heart
'Cause I'm free to be me
Never gonna be the one to
cry
If I do hey, I'll get by
'Cause you see
It's me
I claim to have one
You see I don't need anyone
Givin' all my treasures away,
nowhere to hide
Hey maybe I'm Job
Like him you won't hear me
sob
Still shaking with fear,
won't shed a tear
CHORUS
It's me... it's me... it's
me...
Oh, it's me
I am the Prodigal Son
No longer on the run
Givin' all my treasures away,
nowhere to hide
Will you take me this way
Naked and wasted away
On my knees I pray, and now
I say...
CHORUS
"Overflow"
WRITTEN BY:
WILL HAWKSWORTH ©© 2001
The cup I hold is filled to
the brim
With common sense that's
self evident
But you keep pouring distilled
liquid
And I don't think I can drink
all of this
CHORUS 1
Maybe I could see with a
beginner's mind
But I don't know
I throw at you my speculations
I'm holding you with my opinions
Yet I'm hanging on to every
word you say
'Cause you're making so much
sense today
CHORUS 2
Maybe I could see with a
beginner's mind
Well, I don't know
But this cup you fill is
not a waste of time
So let it overflow
BRIDGE
I have to put things down
that I cannot comprehend
And hope that they will make
their way to me
I cannot build on what you
already understand
'Til it's fully clear and
meaningful to me
I thought nonsense from reality
was set
That I could sit here and
wager every bet
Ultimately I want to know
the truth
Apart from my judgmental
intellect
CHORUS 2
"Let It Go"
WRITTEN BY:
WILL HAWKSWORTH ©© 2001
Time seems to drill its way
into my mind
Not living for today
There's so much in life to
praise
So much to doubt
At times when I lose my way
I lose sight of love
It's like I almost fade away
CHORUS
I can't perceive how these
thoughts steal my mind
And it's so hard to let them
go
You say, “I can't see through
the weight in your eyes
And you won't let it show
No, you won't let it go”
I really thought that you
were there
One with the sun
You had it all worked out
Take each day by day and
become
But you failed to see Him
in them
And it pulled you down
And now you won't serve
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Become callous to reason
Won't even try to unveil
what is held inside
As they display all the treason,
you lose faith
CHORUS
"Leave A Message
On My Soul"
WRITTEN BY:
KEVIN JARVIS ©© 2001
Through a crowded room, I
make my way
Break through the chaos that
is driving me insane
My soul it drains
Stroll through the office,
the phones are ringing
Soon I'll be anxious as I
know that
I dread to face the day
CHORUS
You try to reach me; leave
a message on my soul
You won't stop trying; knocking
at my door
You keep on coming; I turn
you away
Where can I reach you; In
the eye of the hurricane
Turn off the engine, now you
were speeding
Give me my ticket, I will
fight this
I can't slow down now
Turn on the TV, another shooting
Jump in the shower, a late
night meeting
You will have to wait
CHORUS
Through the green meadow,
I run away
Breakthrough to silence,
the eye of the hurricane is where I pray
Stroll through the forest,
the birds are singing
Soon I'll be peaceful, as
I breathe I feel your presence near
CHORUS

"A
New Light Is Dawning"
WRITTEN BY:
KEVIN JARVIS & WILL HAWKSWORTH © 2001
Boy in a manger; star overhead
Shepherds and Wisemen bear
gifts in their hands
There lay a child on this
somber night
A new light is dawning; shining
so bright
He brought gifts for all
people
He sought light for all people
CHORUS:
A day of rejoice for the
gifts he keeps giving
To a world filled with doubt
Find grace among chaos and
peace beside fury
In search for the holy shroud
Oh sacred night
Oh sacred night
Sit here in silence, on this
Christmas night
Sleigh bells are ringing;
the snow is so white
Sit by the fire; the stockings
are placed
The spirit among us; presence
embrace
And I stand joyfully singing
And I stand joyfully singing
CHORUS
"Let
The Bells Ring Out"
WRITTEN BY:
Michael Sasso © 2001
CHORUS:
Let the bells ring out
And bring Christmas cheer
on in
We don't need to show it
You can feel it all over
Let the bells ring out
CHORUS
Love is in the air
Friends are everywhere
Time has no place here
We all love one another
CHORUS
There are people wrapping
gifts for us
There's mistletoe and holiday
punch
Relax and let the world unwind
Come on, celebrate and have
a good time
Repeat CHORUS
"Christmas
In The Woodshed"
WRITTEN BY:
Morris Labowitch © 2001
