I took a strand of courage And wove it with a thread of belief I wrapped a ribbon of hope into the braid of the rope Stole a pattern from the ancient tapestry And then I waited a very long time yes I waited for a very long time Until I heard a voicing praying, "Please, somebody help me Please, someone throw me a line.' So I took my rope and I cast it out Held on tight to the end til I heard that voice shout, "Hallelujah! I am saved." I took the hand that was offered I felt our fingers entwine I let this stranger's embrace warm to friendship Replaced the rope I'd made into the thread of my life For I had waited a very long time Yes I had waited for a very long time Until I heard that voicing praying, "Please, somebody help me Please, someone throw me a line.' And I took my rope and I cast it out Held on tight to the end til I heard that voice shout, "Hallelujah! I am saved."

Your open palm reveals to me a fortune Not one of silver nor of gold An invitation The risk of opportunity Forgiveness for my soul But I don't want to worry you Don't want to cause anymore trouble No I don't want to worry you Don't want to cause anymore trouble No no You've got me for life Your hand in mine and I'll never let go You've got me for life For better or worse To have and to hold Second chances are made for first mistakes But you and I both know We wiped the slate clean No point in counting We let the past go I don't want to worry you Don't want to cause anymore trouble No I don't want to worry you Don't want to cause anymore trouble No no You've got me for life Your hand in mine and I'll never let go You've got me for life For better or worse To have and to hold

Everybody has left somewhere Something or someone Behind them along the way Their choices made That’s how they got here Everybody is in pursuit Of the dreams that they’re chasing And every choice that they make Is steered that way That’s how they got here But if this is the River, where is the Sea?

Say what you mean And mean what you say; The opportunity may never come again. Say what you feel And feel what you say; Knowledge is a fine thing but passions will prevail. Choose your words precisely, No-one knows what “might be” said. A thought of any consequence is worthy of the Word’s respect. Say what you mean. Say what you mean And mean what you say; The moment of attention can end before it starts. Say what you feel And feel what you say; Logic is persuasive but conviction needs a heart. Choose your words precisely, No-one knows what “might be” said. A thought of any consequence is worthy of the Word’s respect. Say what you mean.

Well it’s written in the stars that all we got to do is listen There are signals everywhere You’d have to close your eyes to miss them Time is on my side It’s on your side It’s on our side Something wonderful is gonna happen Sometimes it feels like a little bit of luck takes an awful lot of time Something wonderful is gonna happen Something wonderful Well there’s patterns on your palm where the fortune teller reads predictions But only history reveals the difference between fact and fiction Time is on my side It’s on your side It’s on our side Something wonderful is gonna happen Sometimes it feels like a little bit of luck takes an awful lot of time Something wonderful is gonna happen Something wonderful

If I never got around to saying all the things I should have said We both know the reasons why Maybe we both knew better Maybe it's better late than never We both know the reasons why If I missed an opportunity or two I know you missed your chances too We both know the reasons why Who knows, it could have been the real thing But I know it takes a lot of healing We both know the reasons why I'm not sure and think I ever was So young but we'll never be so old again We both know the reasons why Bur right now, here in this moment We share a past we're still discovering We both know the reasons why Yes, we both know the reasons why

Take my word for it, there’s more than you could ever possibly imagine. Investigation into miracles and magic reveals the science but not the attraction. Life flickers in a single soul But Life burns brightly in us all. Character Witness I call you to the stand to hear your testimony. What price existence? Mortality demands the resurrection of your soul for his glory. Life flickers in a single soul But Life burns brightly in us all. Life burns Life burns brightly Life burns so bright.

Ever On 04:41
This old confidence was never as young As it was when we made all those decisions Age has a way of stripping away The layers of faith we have in us In the cool of spent emotions Here we are Flesh and bone Lasting devotions safe from harm And as this evening passes into memory I catch the wave The endless wave that carries me ever on And so it would seem the ties that bind us Are stronger than those that keep us apart The night and the day are two separate dreams With one obscured by sleep In the cool of spent emotions Here we are Flesh and bone Lasting devotions safe from harm And as this evening passes into memory I catch the wave The endless wave that carries me ever on

The Impending Adorations New Zealand

"The dreamers are the saviours of the world. As the visible world is sustained by the invisible, so men, through all their trials and sins and sordid vocations, are nourished by the beautiful visions of their solitary dreamers."
