LYRICS:
I say hello
To anyone who's listening
Put on a show
If that's what makes your ears prick
This microphone
Will take a word and make it bigger
Oh, hello
So here goes

Steppin' right up to the microphone
I say, "Hey man
There's only one way
One God, one body, one faith alone
If you don't know
Then you need to be told"

Steppin' right up to the microphone
I say, "Hey man
There's only one way
One God, one body, one faith alone"
I say, "Hey boy
It's a narrow road"

I say hello
To anyone who's listening
The message ain't nothing new
I don't decide what's true
So when the stones gets thrown
They either miss or they turn to glory
Here's the story
As far as I know

Steppin' right up to the microphone
I say, "Hey man
There's only one way
One God, one body, one faith alone
If you don't know
Then you need to be told"

Steppin' right up to the microphone
I say, "Hey man
There's only one way
One God, one body, one faith alone"
I say, "Hey boy
It's a narrow road"

Steppin' up, I don't step alone
The question is, how do we know what we know?
The answer is so plain for me, so here I go
Tap the mic, "Test, one, two, three"

Steppin' right up to the microphone
I say, "Hey man
There's only one way
One God, one body, one faith alone
If you don't know
Then you need to be told"

Steppin' right up to the microphone
I say, "Hey man
There's only one way
One God, one body, one faith alone"
I say, "Hey boy
It's a narrow road"

Steppin' right up to the microphone
I say, "Hey man
There's only one way
One God, one body, one faith alone
If you don't know
Then you need to be told"

Steppin' right up to the microphone
I say, "Hey man
There's only one way
One God, one body, one faith alone"
I say, "Hey boy
It's a narrow road"

This song by Stephen Paulus is perhaps one of the finest modern examples of madrigal music and so well done by this group. This song is so haunting but at the same time, so hopeful that the road will lead me home.
Stephen Paulus was an American Grammy Award winning composer, best known for his operas and choral music. His style is essentially tonal, and melodic and romantic by nature. Paulus has written over 150 works for chorus ranging from his Holocaust oratorio, To Be Certain of the Dawn, recorded by the Minnesota Orchestra on the BIS label, to the poignant anthem, "Pilgrims' Hymn," sung at the funerals of U.S. Presidents Ronald Reagan and Gerald Ford. Paulus's most popular works may be two short choral anthems, one religious, "Pilgrims' Hymn," and a non-religious but far from nakedly secular composition, "The Road Home."

LYRICS:
Admittedly I can be anxious at times
As I consider the challenges I have to face
Like when I work to get ahead
And still fall behind
I start to wonder if I was meant to win the race
Striving to do things right, but when things go wrong
Tempted to hide

But this time I will be still
This time I will be still

Thankfully it is hard for me
To keep feeling this way, when I consider
Who is on my side
(The Lord is My Help)
Walking with me every step I need to take
On the desperate days and the long dark nights
24-7 He never sleeps (Thank you Father)
And when I remember
It brings me peace

This time I will be still
This time I will be still

And the mountain has to move
The mountain must obey
The words that I speak
And bow down to my faith
Because I got work to do
And I'm gonna see it thru
God showed me the way
And I'm choosing it today

The mountain has to move
The mountain must obey
The words that I speak
And bow down to my faith
Because I got work to do
And I'm gonna see it thru
God showed me the way
And I'm choosing it today

This time I will be still
(This time no mountain can stop me)
This time I will be still
(This time I'm focused and resolute)
This time I will be still
(My help is coming, my help is here in you)
The Lord is my help
The Lord is my help
This time I will be still
And the mountain has to move

LYRICS:
I don't wanna waste just another day
Tell me where I should go, and there I will go
I don't wanna miss, 'cause I'm too afraid
Of what I don't know, oh, I don't

Even in the desert
I'm scared, and I'm tired, and I'm feeling alone
'Cause I don't wanna wait just another day
Tell me where I should go, and there I will

I'm wide awake
I hear You calling my name

After all the things I've been through
Every scar and every bruise
You remind me every time
You're still alive, You're still alive in me

In the beat of my heart
In the light, in all of the dark
All my hope will never die, 'cause
You're still alive, You're still alive (ooh)

You're still alive (ooh)
You're still alive (ooh)
You're still alive, You're still alive in me

I just wanna face what I tend to fear
What I can't control, I give You control
I don't really know what You're doing here
But I give You control, I give You control

I'm wide awake
As I hear You calling my name

After all the things I've been through
Every scar and every bruise
You remind me every time
You're still alive, You're still alive in me

In the beat of my heart
In the light, in all of the dark
All my hope will never die, 'cause
You're still alive, You're still alive (ooh)

You're still alive (ooh)
You're still alive (ooh)
You're still alive, You're still alive in me
You're still alive in me
You're still alive in me

I stand here in Your presence
I'm safe and secure, and I'm never alone

You're still alive, You're still alive
After all things I've been through
Every scar and every bruise (keep the fire burning in my heart)
You remind me every time
You're still alive, You're still alive in me

In the beat of my heart
In the light, in all of the dark
All my hope will never die
'Cause You're still alive, oh, You're still alive (ooh)

You're still alive, yeah (ooh)
You're still alive, (ooh)
(Still alive) You're still alive
(Still alive) You're still alive in me

LYRICS:
God our Father, God our Father
Once again, once again.
We bow our heads and thank You
Bow our heads and thank You
Amen, Amen.

I would lay me down to sleep
And pray the Lord my soul to keep.
And though I never saw Him there,
I believe He heard each prayer.
For God was great,
And God was good.
And I knew if I spoke the words,
He would be listening.

The years can take us far away
From the simple childlike faith.
But I am longing to return
To the place where I first learned.
That God is great and God is good
So I will speak the words

Chorus:
God our Father, once again
I bow my head to pray.
You are my Father and my Friend,
And You hear every word I say.
A prayer for forgiveness,
A desperate cry for help,
Or praise flowing from a thankful heart.
Like each time before
I come knowing You're still listening.

I will never understand
How the words of mortal man,
Can reach the ears of one so pure
And touch His heart, but they do I'm sure.
For God is great and God is good, and He is love.

Chorus:
God our Father, once again
I bow my head to pray.
You are my Father and my Friend,
And You hear every word I say.
A prayer for forgiveness,
A desperate cry for help,
Praise flowing from a thankful heart.
Like each time before
I come knowing You're still listening.
Still listening

Now I lay me down to sleep,
And pray the Lord my soul to keep.
And though I may not see You there,
I believe You'll hear each prayer.

LYRICS:
Out of the shadows
Bound for the gallows
A dead man walking
'Til love came calling
Rise up (rise up)
Rise up (rise up)

Six feet under
I thought it was over
An answer to prayer
The voice of a Savior
Rise up (rise up)
Rise up (rise up)

All at once, I came alive
This beating heart, these open eyes
The grave let go
The darkness should have known
(You're still rolling, rolling, You're still rolling, rolling, oh)
You're still rolling stones (You're still rolling, rolling, oh)
You're still rolling stones

Now that You saved me
I sing 'cause You gave me
A song of revival
I put it on vinyl
Rise up (rise up)
Rise up (rise up)

I once was blinded
But now I see it
I heard about the power
And now I believe it
Oh, rise up (rise up)
Rise up (rise up)

All at once, I came alive
This beating heart, these open eyes
The grave let go
The darkness should have known
(You're still rolling, rolling, You're still rolling, rolling oh)
You're still rolling stones
(You're still rolling, rolling, oh)
You're still rolling stones

I thought that I was too far gone
For everything I've done wrong
Yeah, I'm the one who dug this grave
But You called my name
You called my name

I thought that I was too far gone
For everything I've done wrong
Yeah, I'm the one who dug this grave
But You called my name
You called my name

All at once, I came alive
This beating heart, these open eyes
The grave let go
The darkness should have known
(You're still rolling, rolling, You're still rolling, rolling, oh)
You're still rolling stones
(You're still rolling, rolling, oh)

Oh, you're still rolling stones
(You're still rolling, rolling oh, You're still rolling, rolling, oh)
Oh, you're still rolling stones
(You're still rolling, rolling, oh)

Oh, you're still rolling stones
You're still rolling, rolling
(You're still rolling, rolling, oh, You're still rolling, rolling, oh)
You're still rolling, rolling
You're still rolling stones

LYRICS:
Dreams, they come, plans, they change
Yeah, we're gonna break, yeah, we're gonna break
Things we face make us who we are
Baby, you're a star shinin' in the dark
Let's go back to the summer, summer when
We dreamed in love, let's go back again
Let's go back again, yeah, back again, my friend
To the summer when

I'm holdin' a picture from seven years back
I smile at the memory, it's smilin' right back at me
And I see
Brown hair and bright eyes, such a beautiful blue
A heart full of laughter with nothin' to lose
That's how I remember you

You were young, you were free, and you dared to believe
You could be the girl who could change the world
Then your life took a turn, and you fell, and it hurt
But you're still that girl, and you're gonna change this world
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
You're still that girl (you're still that girl)
You're still that girl (you're still that girl), oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
You're still that girl (you're still that girl)
You're still that girl (you're still that girl)

Sometimes life don't go the way you planned
And we all have days when we just don't understand
Searching for meaning, it's not always easy
But your story's not over, it's still bein' told
Your sunrise is coming brighter than gold
Let's go back again to the summer when

You were young, you were free, and you dared to believe
You could be the girl who could change the world
Then your life took a turn, and you fell, and it hurt
But you're still that girl, and you're gonna change this world
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
You're still that girl (you're still that girl)
You're still that girl (you're still that girl), oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
You're still that girl (you're still that girl)
You're still that girl (you're still that girl)

What if the picture is bigger than you see
And God has you right where He wants you to be?
Just listen to your heart, He's tellin' you with every beat
You're still that girl
(You're still that girl, you're still that girl)

You were young, you were free, and you dared to believe
You could be the girl who could change the world
Don't you know? Don't you see? All you need is to believe
That you're still that girl, and you're gonna change this world
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
You're still that girl (you're still that girl)
You're still that girl (you're still that girl), oh
Whoa, oh, oh, oh
You're still that girl (you're still that girl)
You're still that girl (you're still that girl)

I see in your eyes, I see in your smile
You're still that girl
You're still that girl

Leanna Crawford, composer of this song, said “My hope and prayer with this song is that you will feel peace with these lyrics and are inspired to hold God’s word deeply in your heart. "

LYRICS:
I'm a fugitive
Running from the life that I was meant to live
Looking for somewhere that I can lay my head
I'm lucky if I make it through the night

But I can't sleep
Knowing that You're one more step ahead of me
I'm a fool for ever thinking You'd just let me go
That's not the way it's ever gone before, I'm Yours

You catch me like a thief in the night
You hold me when I put up a fight
You chase me when I run from Your light
Because You love, You won't give up

'Til my heart is stolen
(My heart is stolen)
'Til my heart is stolen away
(My heart is stolen away)

I'm trying to understand that life comes after dying
To embrace that I'm a slave until I'm captured
But You would never use a lock or a key
'Cause I am free

You catch me like a thief in the night
You hold me when I put up a fight
You chase me when I run from Your light
Because You love, You won't give up

'Til my heart is stolen
(My heart is stolen)
'Til my heart is stolen away
(My heart is stolen away)

'Til my heart is stolen
(My heart is stolen)
My heart is stolen

I could change my name, cover all my tracks
But I'm wrong to think I could lose the past
'Cause You found me here and You took me back
Once a criminal, now a prodigal

You catch me like a thief in the night
You hold me when I put up a fight
You chase me when I run from Your light
Because You love, You won't give up

'Til my heart is stolen
(My heart is stolen)
'Til my heart is stolen away
(My heart is stolen away)

'Til my heart is stolen
(My heart is stolen)
My heart is stolen away
(My heart is stolen away)

This is a Gospel, Christian rap, Funk, Hip Hop, R&B song

LYRICS:
Hey, Mr. Churchill comes over here
To say we're doing splendidly
But it's very cold out here in the snow
Marching to and from the enemy
Oh I say it's tough, I have had enough
Can you stop the cavalry?

I have had to fight almost every night
Down throughout these centuries
That is when I say, oh yes yet again
Can you stop the cavalry?

Mary Bradley waits at home
In the nuclear fallout zone
Wish I could be dancing now
In the arms of the girl I love

Dub-a-dub-a-dum-dum
Dub-a-dub-a-dum
Dub-a-dum-dum-dub-a-dum
Dub-a-dub-a-dum
Dub-a-dub-a-dum-dum
Dub-a-dub-a-dum
Dub-a-dum-dum-dub-a-dum
Dub-a-dub-a-dum
Wish I was at home for Christmas

Bang! That's another bomb on another town
While the Tsar and Jim have tea
If I get home, live to tell the tale
I'll run for all presidencies
If I get elected I'll stop
I will stop the cavalry

Dub-a-dub-a-dum-dum
Dub-a-dub-a-dum
Dub-a-dum-dum-dub-a-dum
Dub-a-dub-a-dum
Dub-a-dub-a-dum-dum
Dub-a-dub-a-dum
Dub-a-dum-dum-dub-a-dum
Dub-a-dub-a-dum
Wish I was at home for Christmas

Wish I could be dancing now
In the arms of the girl I love
Mary Bradley waits at home
She's been waiting two years long

Wish I was at home for Christmas

LYRICS:
The T.V. is talking
The telephone's ringing
The lights are all on and the radio's screaming
A million distractions are stealing my heart from You

I'm tired and empty
This life is relentless
It weakens my knees and it breaks my defences
It's wearing me down
And I'm desperate to hear from You

Stop the world, I wanna get out
I need an escape away from this crowd
Just to hear You speak to me

I need to be still before I make a move
And I need to be humble with nothing to prove
And I need Your Word to show me the truth
I need time, precious time

Stop the world, I wanna get out
I need an escape away from this crowd
Just to hear You speak to me

Stop the world, I'm ready to listen
Show me a sign, just give me a vision of heaven
That I can hold on to
Stop the world, I need some time with You

Before I can find my voice
I need to hear Your voice
Above all the senseless noise

Stop the world, I wanna get out
I need an escape away from this crowd
Just to hear You, I need to hear You, Lord

Stop the world, I'm ready to listen
Show me a sign, give me a vision of heaven
That I can hold on to
Stop the world, I need some time with You
Stop the world, I need some time with You
