The Day 03:53
Lord I long to see the day the light of life returns To see your glory break on through For you my spirit yearns ..I’ll bow with pleasure, some will bow with pain But every knee will bow and every tongue proclaim That you alone are Lord that you alone remain That every honour belongs only to your name Lord I long to see you face To behold the gracious King To see the earth just melt away And hear those creatures sing And I will bow with pleasure, some will bow with pain But every knee will bow and every tongue proclaim That you alone are Lord that you alone remain That every honour belongs only to your name Lord I long to see you face To behold the gracious King To see the earth just melt away And hear those creatures sing Whatever happens to the others To father mother sister brothers, I trust in you to end this story Perfect, holy, wrapped in glory And when my life is finally taken I pray my faith will not be shaken I trust in you to end this story Perfect, holy, wrapped in glory And we will bow with pleasure, some will bow with pain But every knee will bow and every tongue proclaim That you alone are Lord that you alone remain That every honour belongs only to your name Lord I long to see the day the light of life returns To see your glory break on through For you my spirit yearns

Elusive 03:41
Where are you now, God, where are you now Is heaven so big that you can't hear these sounds You're everywhere I know, but I still feel quite alone Do you come by sometimes when I'm around Here I am here, God, here I am here Do the millions of voices make it hard to hear I know you're important, I know that you're busy But I'm calling, cos I need you to come near Your majesty, you are wonderful creator all powerful You're a small voice, so elusive Just don't tell me you're exclusive Spaceships couldn't find you And Science cannot prove you Big ships can't defeat you And athletes cannot lose you Thinkers sometimes find you And sinners will deny you But seekers who pursue you Sometimes cannot find you Where are you now, God, where are you now I can't hear your voice and I can't see your cloud I know that you hear me no matter how loud But I want you near me, please come around Your majesty, you are wonderful creator all powerful You're a small voice, so elusive Please don't tell me you're exclusive

I remember how much you inspired me Your passion it never ever tired me Your grace and your love made us know it was real The selfless devotion we could see and could feel You smiled at the tribulations You breathed deep and soldiered on You laughed in the face of danger Like you knew something that we did not Didn't we believe in what was unseen Didn't we look forward to forever Didn't we live for another world Didn't we hope in the invisible Every thought was made captive, every deed an act of worship Every day was treated as a gift and every sleep was worth it Then the conversations we had went to the depths And with every prayer a heart was poured out on the floor Didn't we believe in what was unseen Didn't we look forward to forever Didn't we live for another world Didn't we hope in the invisible I still remember what you said like you spoke to me yesterday Today's another one of those days I Long to hear that voice again Didn't we believe in what was unseen Didn't we look forward together Didn't we live for another world Didn't we hope in the invisible

The Well 03:23
Nothin' but sand, sun and no shore Oasis after oasis after oasis I have no idea where I am anymore And when I hope, the desert takes it I hired this guy, an oasis maker really thought he was a genius He's so good as a dream creator even better at deceiving us Take me back to the well Let me drink your living water Tell me everything I've ever done Show me what's more important I've been wandering this desert so long Hunger, thirst or pain I can't tell Mirage after mirage has got my head spinning Wish I could find my way back to the well Take me back to the well Let me drink your living water Tell me everything I've ever done Show me what's more important
