my heart this way Though the day may run too swift, I can make it only
if For a moment I could hide away

"Now, O Lord our God, deliver us from his hand, so that all kingdoms on
earth may know that you alone, O Lord, are God." 2 Kings 19:19
and Isaiah 37:20
I’m a-gonna trade my earthly home (trade my earthly home) for a better
one, bright and fair (bright and fair) Christ left to prepare a
mansion for His children in the air (in the air) I’ll join Him in that
land where tears nor sorrows can be found And I’ll receive my mansion
(mansion, robe), robe, and crown
Chorus: Mansion, robe, and a crown (mansion, robe, and crown) (Lord
I want a brand new mansion, robe, and a crown in glory) There love will
always abound (There I know that peace and love will always abound
forever) Let me Your throne surround (let me your throne surround) (Let
me be among the saved to Your throne surround) And
I'll receive my mansion (my mansion) (mansion, robe), robe,
and crown
The weather there is always fair (weather's always fair), there is
sunshine day and night No cold nor rain will fall there (cold nor
rain will fall there), for the sun shines ever bright (sun shines
ever bright) I’ll need no heavy garments (I'll need no heavy garments),
I’ll just wrap my robe around (I'll just wrap my robe around) When I
receive my mansion (mansion, robe), robe, and crown
Repeat Chorus
My head is bowed and bloody (bowed and bloody) from the work I've
tried to do (I've tried to do) But one day I'll be rewarded with a

for there'll be no cause for a frown (no cause for a frown) And

Scriptural Reference:
"And when the Chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the crown of
glory that will never fade away." 1 Peter 5:4
Why did it have to be a friend who chose to betray the Lord Why did
he use a kiss to show them, that's not what a kiss is for Only a friend
can betray a friend, a stranger has nothing to gain And only a friend
comes close enough to ever cause so much pain
And why did there have to be a thorny crown pressed upon His
head When it should have been a royal one made of jewels and gold
instead It had to be a crown of thorns, because in this life that we
live All who would seek to love, a thorn is all that this world has to
give
And why did it have to be a heavy cross He was made to bear And why
did they nail His feet and hands His love would have held Him there
It was a cross, for upon a cross a thief was supposed to pay And
Jesus had come into the world to steal every heart away Yes Jesus had
come into the world to steal every heart away
Jesus
Scriptural Reference:
"While he was still speaking a crowd came up, and the man who was
called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to
kiss him, but Jesus asked him, 'Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man
with a kiss?'" Luke 22:47-48
Sailing down behind the sun Waiting for my prince to come Praying
for the healing rain To restore my soul again Just a poor
man on the run How did I get here? What have I done? When
will all my hopes arise? How will I know him? When I look in my
father's eyes
Chorus 1: (Look into my father's eyes) My father's eyes
(yeah) When I look in my father's eyes (Look into my father's eyes)
My father's eyes (yeah)
Then the light begins to shine (shine) I hear those ancient
lullabies And as I watched this seedling grow Feel my heart start to
overflow Where do I find the words to say? How do I teach
him? What do we play? Bit by bit, I've realized That's when I
need them That's when I need my father's eyes
Chorus 2: (Look into my father's eyes) My father's eyes (yeah)
(that's when I need them) (That's when I need my father's eyes) I look
into my father's eyes (Look into my father's eyes) My father's eyes
(yeah)
When the jagged edge appears Through the distant clouds of
tears I'm like a bridge that was washed away My foundations were
made of clay And as my soul slides down to die How could I lose
him? What did I try? Bit by bit, I've realized That He was here
with me I looked into my Father's eyes
Repeat Chorus 2
I look into my Father's eyes
Repeat Chorus 1
I look into my Father's eyes
Repeat Chorus 2
Scriptural Reference:
"Look on me and answer, O Lord my God. Give light to my eyes, or
I will sleep in death;" Psalm 13:3
Tears are falling (falling), hearts are breaking (breaking) How we
need to hear from God (hear from God) You've been promised (promised),
we've been waiting (waiting) Welcome Holy Child Welcome Holy Child
(Holy Child)
Hope that you don't mind our manger How I wish we would have
known But Long-awaited Holy Stranger Make yourself at home Please
make yourself at home
Bring your peace into our violence Bid our hungry souls be
filled Word now breaking Heaven's silence Welcome to our
world Welcome to our world
Fragile finger sent to heal us Tender brow prepared for
thorn Tiny heart whose blood will save us Unto us is born Unto us
is born
So wrap our injured flesh around you Breathe our air and walk our
sod Rob our sin and make us holy Perfect Son of God Perfect Son
of God Welcome to our world
Scriptural Reference:
"Now when Jesus returned, a crowd welcomed him, for they were all
expecting him." Luke 8:40
I've been kind of down today Kind of like I can't quite make
it The pressure of a fast track world Is hard to handle now and
then I haven't got a lot to say And I resolve that I won't take it
anymore I know that something good is moving in me That's when I
feel the music Soothe the savage beast I hear the love I find
release
Chorus: Turn up the radio And sing a song of sympathy Turn up
the radio Let freedom ring in harmony I hear the healing go To
the secret place only God could know Turn up the radio Turn up the
radio
Don't you know I make mistakes And I can surely feel forsaken The
pressure of a fast paced race Hurts my already broken heart When the
road is headed down and out I desire love's forgiveness His Spirit
calls my name again and again That's when I feel His music Soothe
the savage beast I hear my Lord I find His peace
Repeat Chorus
Let a message of hope sink in Feel a fire of life begin Break out
the chains Sing a sweet refrain
Repeat Chorus (x2)
Turn up, Turn up the radio (Turn up the radio) Turn up, Turn up the
radio (Turn up the radio) Turn up, Turn up the radio (Turn up the
radio) Turn up the radio Turn up the radio

"There I will give her back her vineyards, and will make the Valley of
Achor a door of hope. There she will sing as in the days of her
youth, as in the day she came up out of Egypt." Hosea 2:15
