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

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

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

*Dialogue between Trevor and Ed*
