I’ll take the road that was paved for me, even if I can’t find a way to escape
Hard not to ask why, it’s been a long ride, I’m working hard to find the faith
Shed just a little more light on me God, ‘cause I need to feel just a little more
Love just a little more on me God, I need you to open that door
Light (just a little more, just a little more) light on me
Love (just a little more, just a little more) love on me
Light (just a little more, just a little more) light on me
Love (just a little more, just a little more)
I feel You smile when I’m tired, working so hard to be a better me
And You know that I give my everything, to everyone, may go unseen, but You, You’re my biggest fan
Shed just a little more light on me God, ‘cause I need to feel just a little more
Love just a little more on me God, I need You to open that door
Light (just a little more, just a little more) light on me
Love (just a little more, just a little more) love on me
Light (just a little more, just a little more) light on me
Love (just a little more, just a little more) love on me
Shed your light on me God (I know You’re right here)
Shed your light on me God (Give me strength)
Shed your light on me God (I need You to take my hand)
And I’ll sing your praise
Light (just a little more, just a little more) light on me
Love (just a little more, just a little more) love on me
Light (just a little more, just a little more) light on me
Love (just a little more, just a little more) love on me

You gave me love, you gave me life. I’ve thanked you a million times
But it’s never enough, never enough, never enough, ‘cause you, gave me life
Thank you for the memories, every day we make
All the laughter fills this home, for that I prayed
Thank you for the smile across my face
It’s love, it’s a life, it’s a family. It’s ‘cause of you
You live your life just like a dream, you take what’s yours, but you give so freely
All of your light, all of your time, all your wisdom, this is not unseen
Thank you for the memories, every day we make
All the laughter fills this home, for that I prayed
Thank you for the smile across my face
It’s love, it’s a life, it’s a family. It’s ‘cause of you
La la la….
Thank you for the memories, every day we make
All the laughter fills this home, for that I prayed
Thank you for the smile across my face
It’s love, it’s a life, it’s a family (3x) It’s ‘cause of you LALALALLLA (3x) It’s ’cause of you

Hey now dry your eyes, ‘cause He- is -here
Life can be a mystery, but this is clear
Everybody needs a guardian angel sometimes
Rest yourself, peace of mind, have faith in the divine
I am blind no more, mistaken once before, open up those eyes, walk through that door
I can see the sun above
I can see the rain fall on
I can see your life, can you feel, can you feel Him
I can see the sun above
I can see the rain fall on
I can see your life, can you feel
Go on reach for Him, ask for what you need
Shout it, get it off your chest, get down on your knees
Gratitude and grace takes us all the way
Help yourself and he’ll help you, to find your way
I am blind no more, mistaken once before, open up those eyes, walk through that door
I can see the sun above
I can see the rain fall on
I can see your life, can you feel, can you feel Him
I can see the sun above
I can see the rain fall on
I can see your life, can you feel
He’s here right now, the ground beneath our feet
Walking and talking and seeing and hearing our children speak
He is here right now, the air that we breathe
Someone to love, the warmth of a home
Then He set you free!
I can see the sun above
I can see the rain fall on
I can see your life, can you feel, can you feel Him
I can see the sun above
I can see the rain fall on, I can see your life, can you feel

Thank you Lord for blessing us with Your miracles….great things come to those who wait, so take Your time, but don’t take too long, but take Your time… or not
One o’clock, two o’clock, three o’clock, wait; Four o’clock, five o’clock, six, have faith
Seven o’clock, eight, nine, ten, we pray; Eleven, Lord give me strength
You see me get down on my knees, You hear me when I beg and plead
I do the work, I plant the seeds, I need Your victory
only You can change our fate, just take Your time, I’ll wait…. tick tock tick tock tick tock
May love open to the door to Your wonder; When it feels like it’s too late, You come through
Lord bless those of us in faith; For Your 11th hour miracle we wait
One o’clock, two o’clock, three o’clock, wait; Four o’clock, five o’clock, six, have faith
Seven o’clock, eight, nine, ten. we pray; Eleven, Lord give me strength
Can You just give a little sign, despite my faith, I’m just so tired
I know You hear me Lord but (sigh), the walls are getting tight

We were born innocent, open eyes, open hearts, not to judge or lead with fear, just innocent, the way He wanted us to be…
Somewhere in between we lost vision, we saw black and white, creeds were something brought to light, so now it’s real, why can’t we keep it light, the way He….wanted it to be. Just Lead With Love
Dance the way you wanna dance
Sing the way you wanna sing
Miss a beat, sing off key
Be yourself, be real, be free
When did we learn to judge our kin
Isn’t judgement close to sin
Fight for things you’ll never win
When did we learn to plant the seed of hate
It’s time to lead with love
There’s power in a simple hug, reaching out, touching hearts, being kind is just a start
pay a compliment, to anyone just because it feels so right
You can change a million lives, as he said, you can do greater works than I, and so we should
We have the power to be better, do more, to open up the door and Lead With Love
Dance the way you wanna dance
Sing the way you wanna sing
Miss a beat, sing off key
Be yourself, be real, be free
When did we learn to judge our kin
Isn’t judgement close to sin
Compete for things you’ll never win
When did we learn to plant the seed of hate
It’s time to lead with love
Lead with love, Lead with Love, Lead Love
Dance the way you wanna dance
Sing the way you wanna sing
Miss a beat, sing off key
Be yourself, be real, be free
When did we learn to judge our kin
Isn’t judgement close to sin
Compete for things you’ll never win
When did we learn to plant the seed of hate It’s time to lead with love

I have loved you a little bit, I have given you a little of
What I had and what I thought I was, but you deserve a lot more
Your love challenges my head, Your words don’t line up with my thoughts
your light reminds me what my journey left behind, and I know your love I want
Searching through my not so vulnerable soul, I see the angels wrote your name
It took a while for me to come around, so hear the words I say
Your love challenges my head, Your words don’t line up with my thoughts
Your light reminds me what my journey left behind, and I know Your love I want
So love me ‘till the morning light, then love me once again
Wrap Your light around my heart, now I found my sight
Your love challenges my head, Your words don’t line up with my thoughts
Your light reminds me what my journey left behind, and I know Your love I want
I will love You with everything, ‘cause now I found my sight

I’ve been thinking lately ‘bout the way You make me feel, when You comfort me
Rock me in Your loving arms
I can feel You got my back, what I need and what I have, You gave to me,
I won’t take for granted
You’re everything I need and what I pray for. I ask for the moon, I get the stars.
And when I sit myself down to channel this here song, I will speak through You, I feel The Cause
You give me strength, You give me life. When I can’t see, You help me find my way cause …
I am only human
When I’m feeling overwhelmed, pain and anger all I around, I pause, then I
Leave it all to You
You’re everything I need and what I pray for. I ask for the moon, I get the stars
And when I sit myself down to channel this here song, I will speak through You, I feel The Cause
Take my hand….Zero to 90 my heart races on and I get high!
Everything I need and what I pray for. I ask for the moon, I get the stars
And when I sit myself down to channel this here song, I will speak through You, I feel The Cause
Everything I need and what I pray for. I ask for the moon, I get the stars
And when I sit myself down to channel this here song, I will speak through You, I feel The Cause
Rock me in Your loving arms

Nothing but joy, you have given to me
Somehow I lost myself, it’s been a bit hard to breathe
Every night, every day, I get down on my knees
Thank you for, this one chance
Had given up, I lost my dance
I needed someone to hold my hand
And you were there to understand.
So beautiful, life can be
With open eyes, so much to see
Never thought that a single seed
Would turn into my everything
Many years of pain, maybe it was just bad luck
Everything I reached for, seemed to move further up
Took me to a place, where I was on the top
Every night, every day, I get down on my knees
Thank you for, this one chance
Had given up, I lost my dance
I needed someone to hold my hand
And you were there to understand,
So beautiful, life can be
With open eyes, so much to see
Never thought that a single seed
Would turn into my everything
Whatever you do, I know
It’s always for good, you show
You’ll be by my side, for sure
And you do it all, with love
Thank you for, this one chance
Had given up, I lost my dance
I needed someone to hold my hand
And you were there to understand
Thank you for, this one chance
Had given up, I lost my dance
I needed someone to hold my hand
And you were there to understand.
So beautiful, life can be
With open eyes, so much to see
Never thought that a single seed
Would turn into my everything
