WHEN I THINK OF YOU When I think of You, I start to smile I’ve got a feeling this’ll last for awhile You are the one who puts the summertime in my heart When I close my eyes, I see your face Just one look is like a warm embrace Somehow you always melt that little place in my heart You, o you, are gentle and true to me O me, I always want to be close to you. When I’m alone, I feel your touch Holding my hand, you tell me so much You put such a ray of sunshine in my heart. You, o you, I’ll follow this through to the end And then I’ll always want to be a friend to you What’s the nature of this steed? Will I fall and will I bleed? Can’t control this feeling in my heart Candle flickers in the dark Will it fade or will it spark? Can it burn these walls guarding my heart. Where’d you come from? I don’t know. Will you stay and make this grow Can you melt away the snow inside my heart.

JUST LIKE JULIET Just like Juliet, I’m in love I once could see but now I’m blinded by the stars above And I don’t understand why my lovig has flown away I’m risking my life just to stay with you tonight. I am the night, the nightingale You are the lark of the morning You are the sight, the sentinel I am the heart that needs a warning to fly away To fly away before the day breaks Fly away before I’m caught in your arms. Just like Juliet, I’m a fool. You stole my heart away and now I’m breaking all the rules You’ve got me lying and crying in my sleep I’m trying to keep my head on straight But I’m in this much too deep Just like Juliet I need a love that won’t threaten my life Well, I believe in sacrifice But I don’t know my Romeo if you are worth the price. Are you worth the price?

Jealousy 04:12
JEALOUSY Look at her, look at her, beautiful hazel eyes It’s no surprise what she has inside Summertime, evergreen, imagination Sparkle and shine in her eyes. Look at me, eyes of mossy green Jealous and greedy, embittered by pride I would give anything to be in her skin To borrow her life for a day. Look at her, look at her, dancing about the room Dispelling all the gloom with her smile What has she got to be so happy for She should try my life for awhile Look at me, desperate for company Lonely and desolate like a lost child I would give anything to be in her skin To borrow her life for a day. Why can’t I see that I’m looking at me The way I could be with the light of the Lord in my eyes 123 it’s as easy as ABC. If I could only accept and believe and commit to follow the Christ. Look at her, look at me. Oh, we could be one If only I could believe She’s got a look in her eye That says she’s alive and she’s happy to be I want it in me

ALWAYS AND NEVER ALONE When I am lost in a clouded world of dreams I don’t see Sunlight can’t get through to me I’m in a forest of desert sands, A million faces , but no one there to hold my hand And I know my mind’s a maze that no one can get through And my heart is filled with feelings no one ever knew But You, oh You. You reach inside my life and set me free Only You can see the secret part of me I’m always and never alone with You You’re with me always, even in my darkest days Always and never alone with You You fill me up and tell me that I’ll be okay Always and never alone. Once I was scaling an endless wall With splintered nails and no one there to catch my fall Scratching the surface for tarnished truths Beneath the burning lies that came and stole my youth Oh, all these puzzled pieces never make me whole When I look into my eyes, I can’t find my soul But you, o You, You open up my eyes so I can see Only You can find the secret heart in me. I’m always and never alone with You You’re with me always, even in my blackest nights Always and never alone with You You lift me up and tell me that I’ll be all right Always and never alone. You, o You, bring light into my life so I can see Only You can silence all the storms that rage in me Oh, You throw open wide the gates and set me free Only You can see the secret part of me

Divine 04:06
DIVINE I watch you move and talk and breathe But all the same I can’t believe That You are real and not a dream When such perfection You do seem It’s a miracle. Why can’t you see yourself the way I do. You might think you’re “normal” But you’re nothing of the kind, you are divine. Divine, God’s image set in you And you are beautiful. For you are you. Flesh from human flesh and every life is precious But the soul that lives inside a man Can not be made by human hands. When I hold you close and feel the life beat in your breast I long to call you my own, but I know you are not mine You are divine, divine. God’s precious, chosen son And you are beautiful For you are one in a million And no one else is like you You are the only one He threw away the mold And I long to be happy with the way He made me And I pray that someday you’ll be happy with the way That He made you. And holy hands formed your flesh And holy hands shaped your soul And I’ve no doubt in my mind That you are divine. You are divine. I see the mirror on my wall I look so big, yet feel so small A picture frames the tangible But nothing can contain my soul Each and every day we grow But some is change we cannot see Know the Potter’s in control And He’s shaping you inside into something divine Divine, His work has just begun and you are beautiful For you are one in a million And no one else is like you You are the only one He threw away the mold And I long to be happy with the way He made me And I pray that someday you’ll be happy with the way That He made you. One day you’ll be happy with the way That He made you.

Too Soon 04:16
TOO SOON Too soon, too young There goes another one Too fast today How can I tell them to wait? The evening sun reaches out across the sky Black and scarlet shadows mingle in my eye This moment may soon be gone Your glory cannot last very long Youthful innocence and curiosity Try to cover up their insecurity I know it, I’ve been there too How can I get them to see my point of vice How can I tell them to wait? Life seems so short at sweet sixteen They’re always in such a hurry So scared of being late When there’s so much to do And there’s so much at stake How can I tell them to wait? Quintessential moments interrupt your peace Heartbeats pound together looking for release No wonder you’re so unsure This decision could change your life forever The evening sun sinks down beyond your view The fire that lit your day is burning inside you Quit fighting, with Him we’ve won the war He’ll show you something that’s worth waiting for

Fool 4 U 02:13
FOOL 4 U I’d rather be a fool for You than be wise in the eyes of the whole wide world I’d rather be blind they buy into the lies that delight a material girl. I’d rather fail at all I try and rest assured that when I die I’d be there on the other side with You I’d rather be a fool for You I’d rather be a fool for You than parade on a stage of all I abhor I’d rather be despised in their eyes then compromise what I stand up for I don’t need praise for all I do, but just to know that when my time is through I can be with You. I’d rather be a fool for You. For the only truly foolish thing that I could ever do Is to be afraid to be a fool for You I’d rather be a fool for You. I’d rather be a fool for You than abjure what is pure for worldly gain. I’d rather lose all my pride than to ride on the laurels of fortune or fame I’d rather run the grueling race then set my own sweet walking pace If at the end I could see your smiling face I’d rather be a fool for You, o Lord. I’d rather be a fool for You.

about

I had lots of words, melodies and ideas. Dave is a brilliant piano player and engineer. This was our freshman attempt, but I'm still amazed at how it blessed so many and changed the course of our lives by helping us really what we really wanted.
