Caught in a dream of where I want to be
Wrapped in a web of where I am
I feel a wall between what is and what should be
You find me waiting for a miracle
You hear me praying for a plan
You are the only one prepared to rescue me
Chorus:
Then You take away the distance
Found between the truth and me
And You give a simple reason to my restless rhyme
Whoa, hide me in the heaven
You have held within Your hand
And make a way to find a way to soothe my mind

There is a way that might seem right to me
A dim reflection of what's good
Just an illusion of the best that I can be
But there's another path You offer me
I wish I always understood
Some way You see right through my thoughts
And know my needs

Chorus

Words & Music: Mike Hudson and Michael W. Smith

Looking at the future
Who can tell you what is going on
It seems we have become the generation
Of wars and bombs
And the heart grows weak
And the fear grows strong
That the day may come and it may not be very long
And you want to run
But you don't know where
So where do you go
I know
And I tell you
Chorus:
I am sure there will be a day
But it will not be like the nations say
The Lord will come when this life is through
And His deep desire is to be with you
Hearts will fly when the new world starts
And joy will rise like the morning star
God will meet every cry of the heart
And it's my prayer
I want you to be there

I like to think about the new creation
Things that God will do
So every now and then I stop and close my eyes
I enjoy the view
And the heart grows strong
And the fear grows weak
And I cannot wait for the new world to come to me
And while I dream
Oh, I pray for you
'Cause He wants you to go
I know
And I tell you

Chorus

Words & Music: Mike Hudson and Michael W. Smith

On the day
You were saved
Heaven and hell marked you down
Angels praise
Devils raged
Life became a battleground
So when hell starts to move
And the enemy marches on you
Hang on, it's a fight
You've been marked by the army of night
You're a target

When your heart
Loved the dark
Hell could just leave you alone
With your life
Filled with light
You have become quite a foe

So when hell starts to move
And the enemy marches on you
Hang on, it's a fight
It's a battle of darkness and light

Chorus:
When things get bad and you can't stand to look
It's time to read to the end of the book
Don't put it down 'til you get to the end
When Jesus come and His Kingdom begins
'Til He comes
God the Son
Teaches us to use the sword
And every fight
Has a light
When you know we win the war

So when hell starts to move
And the enemy marches on you
Hang on, it's a fight
You're a part of the army of light

Chorus

Words & Music:Mike Hudson and Michael W. Smith

I am holding to the joy of my salvation
I am glad to have a life that always grows
And if the Word of God is any indication
I am doing even better than I know
I am doing even better than I know
There's a joy that even people of the world find
In every good and perfect gift the Father sends
So I thank the Lord that I was born the first time
But I thank Him more that I was born again
Oh, I thank Him more that I was born again

Chorus:
I am up
Like the sun is up
I can feel my life on a rise
I am up
Like the stars at night
I get up on bein' alive
I am up
Like the Lord is up
And my life is filled with His life
I was freed and I am saved
I am up
I am up

There are times life is so fine I can't contain it
Everywhere I look I see what God had done
And I don't have to work and worry to sustain it
When I walk with God His joy will always come
When I walk with God His joy will always come

Chorus

Words & Music: Deborah D. Smith and Michael W. Smith

Let us praise the One who chose us
Let us thank the One who knows us
Set apart, blameless in His sight
Through the Son, we have faith, we have life
To the praise of His glorious grace
Chorus:
May the God of our Lord the Almighty Father
Give you wisdom and peace, His comforting Spirit
That you may know His hope
You may know His riches
And you may know His mighty strength
To the praise of His glorious grace
To the praise of His glorious grace

Grace and peace to you through Jesus
Our Deliverer receives us
Our hearts created for His Word
Our salvation was spoken and we heard
To the praise of his glorious grace

On the street it never changes
There's a chill in the air
Icy people, empty faces
Not a word, not a soul who cares
Do you give up
Have you given in to the lie that a heart never changes
Don't be fooled by what you see there
Another man with another case of
Chorus:
One restless heart
Who never could find love
Too many hurts
To reach out again
How can he know
Love still wants to find him
One restless shell of a man

Don't look away
In a moment his life could be new
Just a moment and love could break through
Oh finally some place to start
For a man with a restless heart

Why the fear then, why the worry
Why the walls holding love inside
When you're needed in the fury
In the fighting to save men's lives
Don't you give up
Don't be giving in to the lie that a heart never changes
If you reach out God'll reach in
Bring an end to another case of

Chorus

One restless heart, one restless heart
One restless heart, one restless heart
He's got to know that love still can find him
Love can reach any man

Don't look away
In a moment his life could be new
Just a moment and love could break through
Oh finally some place to start
For a man with a restless heart

Tag:
Don't you look away
Oh never a stranger again
Love has saved a restless man
Finally some place to start
For a man with a restless heart

Tag

Sad goodbye
Never quite got said
Now the time is gone
We're movin' on
Even though it hurts so bad
If I could I'd turn back the days
And I'd love again
To be your friend
In a hundred different ways
But we can't turn back the time
The days
Chorus:
So if I never said
All I needed to say
I'll say it now
You know I loved you once
I love you stronger today
Please love find me a way
Words I still need to say
But I don't know how

Can't stand still
Still I can't move on
Lord I need Your strength
Need You in me
'Cause a part of me is gone
In time I will know
What I've yet to see
That through all the pain
You hurt the same
And you're standing here with me
And more than anything it's You I need
