Mark Schultz Album

You've got a secret no one knows
Locked away where no one goes
Deep inside your heart,
It's tearin' you apart.
You hide the pain in all you do,
Still the shackles binding you are heavier than stone,
But you are not alone.

When you're down
Look around
And you'll see I am with you.
Look to Me and you'll see I will be there to guide you.
Take My hand and I can lead you on for you know:

I am the answer,
And I am the way.
I am the promise,
And I have called your name.

So you want a brand new start
Askin' Me into your heart,
Down on bended knee
For the world to see.
And the chains around your heart
Fall away and break apart
Suddenly you see
The truth has set you free.

When you're down
Look around
And you'll see I am with you
Look to Me and you'll see I will be there to guide you
Take My hand and I can lead you on for you know:

I am the answer,
And I am the way.
I am the promise, and
I have called your name.

Surrounded by darkness
You stumbled along
Knowing the road that you traveled was long
But I'm here beside you,
Yes here all along,
The one that will carry you on.

When you're down
Look around
And you'll see I am with you.
Look to Me and you'll see I will be there to guide you.
Take My hand and I can lead you on for you know.

I am the answer,
And I am the way,
I am the promise and
I have called.

Oh when you are down
You think no one's around,
But I'll be with you both night and day.
I know the good times,
I'll see you through bad times,
Oh you know that I'm here to stay.

I am the answer,
And I am the way
I am the promise,
And I have called your name.

You gotta nice job
In an office on the seventh floor,
Oh, but you're lookin' out
The window and you're thinkin;
That there's somethin more.
You clear your head,
You close your eyes,
But somethin' deep inside you cries:
Let's go

Let's go to the great unknown,
Find the one that rolled away the stone.
Let's go to the foreign shore,
Find a way to give
like we never gave before.
Let's go,
Going far and wide,
Pack your bags and leave it all behind.
What are we waiting for?
Let's go.

Back home
through the middle of the parking lot
You give away the car,
Give away the money that you've got.
Neighbors will talk,
And oh they should,
Sayin somethin' ain't right
In the neighborhood!
Let's go,

Let's go
To the great unknown,
Find the one that rolled away the stone.
Let's go to the foreign shore,
Find a way to give
like we never gave before.
Let's go,
Going far and wide,
Pack your bags and leave it all behind.
What are you waiting for?
Now go!'s

Go Yeah!

I'm down on my knees again tonight,
I'm hoppin' this prayer will turn out right.
See, there is a boy that needs Your help.
I've done all that I can do myself
His mother is tired,
I'm sure You can understand.
Each night as he sleeps
She goes in to hold his hand,
And she tries
Not to cry
As the tears fill her eyes.

Can You hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can You see him?
Can You make him feel all right?
If You can hear me
Let me take his place some how.
See, he's not just anyone, he's my son.

Sometimes late at night I watch him sleep,
I dream of the boy he'd like to be.
I try to be strong and see him through,
But God, who he needs right now is You.
Let him grow old,
Live life without this fear.
What would I be
Living without him here?
He's so tired,
And he's scared
Let him know that You're there.

Can You hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can You see him?
Can You make him feel all right?
If You can hear me
Let me take his place some how.
See, he's not just anyone, he's my son.

Can You hear me?
Am I getting through tonight?
Can You see him?
Can You make him feel all right?
If You can hear me
Let me take his place somehow.
See, he's not just anyone.

Can You hear me?
Can You see him?
Please don't leave him,
He's my son.

My first day of recess
They all laughed at me
When I fell off the swing set
And scraped up my knee

The nurse called my Momma
To say I'd be late,
And when she gave me the phone
I could hear Momma say
"I'm so sorry, son.
Oh I think you're' so brave"

And she was smilin when she said:

When you come home,
No matter how far,
Run through the door
And into my arms
It's where you are loved,
It's where you belong
And I will be here
When you come home

I waved good-bye through the window
As I boarded the plane,
My first job in Houston
Was waiting for me

I found a letter from Momma
Tucked in my coat
And as I flew down the runway
I smiled when she wrote:
I'll miss you, son,
You'll be so far away

But I'll be waiting for the day

When you come home
No matter how far,
Run through the door
And into my arms
It's where you are loved,
It's where you belong,
And I will be here
When you come home

Well, I don't think
She can hear you now,
The doctor told me
Your mother is fading,
It's best that you leave

So I whispered,
I love you
And then turned away.
But I stopped at the door
When I heard Momma say,
I love you, son,
But they're callin me away

Promise me before I go

When you come home,
No matter how far,
Run through the door
And into my arms;
It's where you are loved,
It's where you belong,
And I will be here
When you come home,
When you come home.

King of Kings
Lord of Lords
Prince of Peace
I am

Early morning, summer's day
At a park, in the city
Kids were playing on a swing
They were black and white
Then a lady walked that way
As she did most every morning
Grocery bags in her hand
She was passing by

She stopped
Stared
Watched their laughter fill the air
She laughed
Cried
Because of the love of God was color blind...

When you give
When you love
When you serve
You do it unto me

Each night I sit alone
I dial you on the phone
But you're not there
Oh, are you there?
Can't keep my heart from breakin'
Can't keep my mind from thinkin'
You're not here
I need you here

Just because you feel alone
It doesn't mean we're letting go
I will be with you 'til the very end

CHORUS:
Don't close your eyes
Don't say goodbye
Don't let the tears fall from your eyes
I can't help but think about you night and day
When you stumble,
When you fall
I'll help you make it through it all
When I think of you
I fall in love again

Can't teach my heart to listen
Oh, it just keeps on missin'
How it was
Memories of
You right there by my side, oh
Never dreamed of letting go
And now you're gone
It feels so wrong

Just because you feel alone
It doesn't mean we're letting go
I will be with you 'til the very end...

CHORUS

I believe in faith above
In givin' everlasting love
And I believe there is a chance for us....

CHORUS

We watched them runnin' down the aisles,
Children's time, Sunday morning.
The preacher asked them who they loved,
They all smiled and started pointing to their mom,
Their dad,
The teacher from their kindergarten class;
And each and every one
Had just come from

A cloud of witnesses
That would see them through the years
Cheer them with a smile
And pray them through the tears
A cloud of witnesses that would see them to the end,
And shower them with love that never ends
A cloud of witnesses.

They stuck together through the years,
The best of friends faith could foster
So when they found out one of them
Had heard the news
He'd lost his father,
They ran to him
And prayed and put their hands upon his head,
And slowly one by one
They'd all become

A cloud of witnesses
As they sent above a prayer
They took a hold of hands and
circled 'round a friend
A cloud of witnesses with a faith just like a rock,
They helped him give his father back to God
As a cloud of witnesses

So when it comes the time
That heaven calls
They'll come running to see the ones who've gone before,
And made the journey home to find waiting for them at the finish line,
Cheerin happily they will run
and they will see

A could of witnesses
Lined up on a street of gold
As they run the final mile.
That leads them to a throne.
And through the cloud of witnesses
They see God upon the throne.
And as they fall into His arms,
They know they're home in
A cloud of witnesses,
Surrounded by a could of witnesses.

We watched them runnin down the aisles
Children's time
Sunday morning.

I'm holding this picture
You drew when you were four
It was one we proudly hung
On our refrigerator door
I found it in the attic
In your old dresser drawer
By a pillow that we made you
And a blanket that you had
When we learned to chase the monsters
From underneath your bed
And I remember

How I learned how to hold you when you cried
I learned how to let you be strong
Learned how to calm you in the dark
Learned how to listen with my heart
I learned how to watch you grow
But how will I learn to let go

And when I walk in your bedroom
The memories that I keep
Are bedtime stories
And rocking you to sleep
And as I held you
You'd drift off to dream
And I know it might sound crazy
Now that you are grown
But yesterday still feels
Like the day we brought you home
And I remember

I saw the light
I saw the light
Oh I saw the light
He lived in a crowded
Jamaican infirmary
Many were brought there to die
Days of starvation
complete deprivation
And illness had taken his sight
But a doctor came to
the village there
And treated him with the finest care
Said that time would tell
The doctor went to bed that night
And when he awoke
in the morning light
The man could not be found
He was singing from a hill

Oh I can see
I saw the light
I saw the light
Oh I saw the light
And he sang Amazing Grace to show
A loving God for all to know
With love and faith and grace
Oh I can see

We met and my eyes could not hide how I felt
When I looked at him tattered and torn
But he captured me with a smile that seems so out of place
From the pain he'd endured
And he told me of a sacrifice
That had given him eternal life
He was not alone
He spoke about a greater plan
And I began to understand
My life was not my own
And I am here to say

And I sang "Amazing Grace" to show
A loving God for all to know
With love and faith and grace
Oh I can see
Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me oh
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see

Long ago on the Texas Plains
Was a little town
That never changed
Until a man rode into town,
A Ranger known for miles around

Well, he could keep the peace
Without a gun
From Abilene down to Galveston

When he rode by the general store
People crowded through the door
To see the legend and the man called McBride,

And oh, woh, woh,
And oh, woh, woh,
And oh, woh, woh
In Iverson

Through the doors of the old hotel
A burnin' fire began to build
People screamin' for their lives,
And the first one there was John McBride.

And just as soon
As he stepped in
People saw the roof cave in,
And everybody knew
That he would not survive

And oh, woh, woh,
And oh, woh, woh,
And oh, woh, woh
In Iverson

Than a lady right outside,
Said her baby boy was trapped inside
But not a man would fight the flames,
And she knew
That it would be too late

But through the smoke
And burnin flames
She heard her baby
Call her name
The boy appeared
But no one knew
Who saved his life.

And when the boy grew old and gray
He spoke about that fateful day,
And the man that saved his life,
Texas Ranger, John McBride

And oh, woh, woh,
And oh, woh, woh,
And oh, woh, woh
In Iverson

And oh, woh, woh,
And oh, woh, woh,
And oh, woh woh

Still I travel far and wide,
Yeah
To hear the legend of McBride. YEAH

Remember Me
In a Bible cracked and faded by the years.
Remember Me
In a sanctuary filled with silent prayer

And age to age
And heart to heart,
Bound by grace and peace.
Child of wonder,
Child of God,
I've remembered you,
Remember Me.

Remember Me
When the color of the sunset fills the sky
Remember Me
When you pray and tears fall from your eyes.

And age to age
And heart to heart,
Bound by grace and peace.
Child of wonder
Child of God,
I've remembered you,
Remember Me

Remember Me
When the children leave their Sunday school with smiles
Remember Me
When they're old enough to teach,
Old enough to preach
Old enough to leave.

And age to age
And heart to heart
Bound by grace and peace
Child of wonder,
Child of God,
I've remembered you,
Remember Me.

Age to age
And heart to heart
Child of wonder
Child of God
Remember Me.
