Far away, I feel your beating heart
All alone, beneathe the crystal stars
Staring into space, what a lonely face
I'll try to find my place with you

Chorus:
What a Beautiful smile
Can I stay for a while
On this beautiful night
We'll make everything right
My beautiful love

Larger then the moon, my love for you
Worlds collide, as heaven pulls us through
The secret of the world is written in the stars
I'm carrying your heart in mine

What a Beautiful smile
Can I stay for a while
On this beautiful night
We'll make everything all right
My beautiful love

Maybe a greater thing will happen
Maybe all will see
Maybe our love will catch like fire
As is burns through me

What a Beautiful smile
Can I stay for a while
On this beautiful night
We'll make everything all right
My Beautiful love

. . .


I lose myself to find in me
The way it really ought to be
It's hard to say I love you
It's hard to say I need you
If all is well it's hard to tell
It hurts to think of someone else
It's hard to say I'll be there
It's hard to say I really, really care

Until the world won't turn
'Till the planets burn
Until the sun dies I'll be there
Until the heavens come
'Til this lie is done
Until the world dies I'll be there

I can't see outside myself
How can I love for someone else
It's hard to say I'm sorry
It's hard to say forgive me
I can't believe you're here with me
Into the future I can't see
It's hard to say forever
It's hard to say I'll never ever go

Until the world won't turn
'Till the planets burn
Until the sun dies I'll be there
Until the heavens come
'Til this lie is done
Until the world dies I'll be there

. . .


Ready or not the years are blurring
Running away the mind is turning
Skip to the end to find the meaning
Theoughts are fading, yet I wonder still
Like it or not your eyes are open
Playing around, the circles going
Face of a child, your mind is old
The clock ran down before I could begin

I wish we all could win
I wish we all could smile
I wish we all could make our mothers proud

Want it or not you ocan't just leave it
Throw it away, I can't believe it
Walking for days, I know you'll see that
Times are changing, soon we'll be the same

I wish we all could win
I wish we all could smile
I wish we all could make our mothers proud

Someday, Someday, Someday
You'll come around
Someday, Someday, Someday
Your time will come
There's nothing more that I can do
I know we all can make throught
I hope that someday you will see

I wish we all could win
I wish we all could smile
I wish we all could make our mothers proud

Someday, Someday, Someday
You'll come around
Someday, Someday, Someday
Your time will come
There's nothing more that I can do
I know we all can make throught
I hope that someday you will see

. . .


Someday I'm gonna go out to the country
I'll drive til the hightway ends
Chasing after picture perfect sunsets
To take my breath away
I'm tired of living in the city
The world's got me tied on a string
Wanderlust has overcome me
Like Lewis and Clark I'll dream
There's a million different ways to go
Only God can know where I will call my home

Love lead me on
Where no one else has gone
Faith keep me strong
Love lead me on

The open road can be so lonely
I'm longing for someone to love
If only I could share my new surroundings
Open the doors above
There's a million different ways to go
Only God can know where I will call my home

Love lead me on
Where no one else has gone
Faith keep me strong
Love lead me on

Faith keep me strong
Love lead me home

. . .


I feel a burning, deep inside of me
I feel your Spirit, it's moving around me
I hear Your voice, You're calling me closer
I know that You're here, You're calling me closer
And I will...

Love You with all of my heart
Jesus I'll love You with all of my mind
Jesus I'll love You with all of my souls
Jesus I'll love You with all that I am

I know that You hear me when I say my prayers
I know that You're with me even when I'm all alone
When I close my eyes, You're calling me close
When I pull away, You're pulling me closer
And I will...

Love You with all of my heart
Jesus I'll love You with all of my mind
Jesus I'll love You with all of my souls
Jesus I'll love You with all that I am

You are holy, Lord God Almighty
You are holy, Lord God Almighty
Who was and is and will soon come again
Lord you are and now You're coming again
Just like you said, You're coming again
And I will...

Love You with all of my heart
Jesus I'll love You with all of my mind
Jesus I'll love You with all of my souls
Jesus I'll love You with all that I am

. . .


Until You came I was just the same
As everybody else
Whoever saw the light and turned away

You love me now
You loved me then
And every now and then
You show me how it would be if I'd gone the other way

After all this time I've come to find my soul's fragility
But You've rectified my frailty by your strength

It's like the sun swallowed up by the earth
Like atomics bombs in reverse
As if a glass could contain the sea
That's the way You are in me
That's the way You are

Now here I stand looking back
To the way things used to be
But I will never be alone again

You're with me
And now I see
What it means to me
To be a part of such a mystery

After all this time I've come to find my soul's fragility
But You've rectified my frailty by your strength

It's like the sun swallowed up by the earth
Like atomics bombs in reverse
As if a glass could contain the sea
That's the way You are in me
That's the way You are

. . .


My heart is as frail as a dove
And my spirit is as weak as a rose
See my sorrow, feel my pain
You're my refuge, You're my reason
My strength in this beautiful place
That's where I find God

You're in my heart, You're in my soul
You are my heaven, You're my home
You're my best friend, You're my true love
You are my treasure, You're my God

I watch as the mountains fall down
And the rivers part at your feet
Your creation sings Your praise
Even wings obey and angels bow down
At Your beautiful voice
That's where I find God

You're in my heart, You're in my soul
You are my heaven, You're my home
You're my best friend, You're my true love
You are my treasure, You're my God

You're in my heart, You're in my soul
You are my heaven, You're my home
You're my best friend, You're my true love
You are my treasure, You're my God
You are my peace, You are my joy
You are my Savior, You're my God

. . .


Time is slipping away
Days go by, fade away
With one eye opened, one closed
I think you know
Love will make you beautiful
Love will make you beautiful
Thoughts swirl, spinning around
Weary, falling down
When out of the darkness a hand
Reach out
Hold fast

Love will make you beautiful
Love will make you beautiful

Turn round this time
Love is there to find
Lift your head and see
Open uo your eyes
Love will make you beautiful
Love will make you beautiful

. . .


Wait
Wait, I can hardly wait
To look into Your face
When the world disappears into Your eyes

Wait, I can hardly wait
To hear your sweet voice say
You've done well, my good and faithful son

Breathe, I can hardly breathe
In anticipation
Waithing for the day to come
When You will shine on me

Wait, I can hardly wait
To bow at Your feet
Kiss the scars that bore my sins away
I can hardly breathe In anticipation
Waiting for the day to come
When You will shine on me

Wait, I can hardly wait

. . .


How could You walk when You went down that dusty street
How could You speak when all your friends checked out
How could You love after the great betrayal
How could You reach out when they nailed You down

Chorus:
True as true can be
That's what they say You are to me when I'm so fake
Does Your heart ache
If I had been the one I would not have been that strong
If I had been the one, yeah, I'd have been long gone

How could You hang on with Your mama crying
How could You keep on breathing in and out
How could You watch while Your whole world was dying
Did it all happen cause we let You down

Repeat Chorus

And all the things we think of as eternal would come undone
All I have to say is when I'm praying
Is "Thank God I'm not the One"
