EFY 2002 - In His Embrace



Toes to the water
Sunshine on my face
How did I end up in such a heavenly place?
My smile is immortal
Feels good on my lips
Free of doubt and free of any fear is what this is
How long has it been since I was here

Chorus:
In His embrace
Safe from the cold
I was here all along but my eyes were closed
And I see the light
It lies in me
And I will do whatever it takes
To stay in His embrace

Feet in the quicksand
Moonlight dark and dim
A sad and lonely picture of the place that I was in
But Ive learned a little lesson
From the fury of my past
The times you feel alone are the ones when you forget to ask
For His saving grace
To be

Repeat Chorus:

These arms I cannot see
But they encircle me

EFY 2002 - Come Thou Fount


Come thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing thy grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise

Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount, Im fixed upon it
Mount of thy redeeming love

O to grace how great the debtor
Daily Im constrained to be
Let thy goodness as a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to thee

Prone to wander Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Heres my heart, o tale and seal it
Seal for thy courts above

EFY 2002-Fullness of Time


Its a chance to change for better
Its a life that lives to tell
When the chance comes
Who will take it?
I will

Chorus:
How long will the world wander
And empty hearts long to find
Come see where the cup runs over
Here in the fullness of times

Its a day of new discovery
Its a time with truth revealed
When the call comes
Who will answer?
I will

Repeat Chorus:

Its been a long time coming
With not much left to go
Its my time to tell it
I want to live to let them know

EFY 2002-Fertile Soil


A heart thats open
A simple seed
The word from heaven
Planted in me
As I hope and wait
For things unseen
My desire gives place
For believing

Through the eyes of my faith
I watch and I wait
And tend to the fertile soil of my heart
And the light shines on me
Given light to the seed
Deep in the fertile soil of my heart

Pure and delicious
Precious and sweet
Life everlasting
The fruit of this tree
And I know the seed
Is good and true
Its alive in me
And its taking root

Through the eyes of my faith
I watch and I wait
And tend to the fertile soil of my heart
Living water in me
Gives life to the seed
Deep in the fertile soil of my heart
For the fruit that will be
I will nourish the tree
That spring from the fertile soil
Of my heart

EFY 2002-The Things I Know


I know little babies come from heaven
I know God made those tiny hands and hearts
I know rainbows and roses are no accident
Neither are the sun, moon and stars

Chorus:
So when I doubt
There are things in life I just cant figure out
I trust that God is in control
And I hold on
To the things I know

I know death is not the end of my soul
I know something divine lives in us all
I know there is someone watching over me
I know my prayers are heard beyond the walls

Repeat Chorus:

What Good is a test if all the answers
Are there in front of you
Some things take faith
I know thats true
I know a little baby came from heaven
A promise of the whole human race
I know nothing else can hold a candle
To his power, his mercy and his grace

Repeat Chorus:

Ill hold on
Hold on
To the things I know

EFY 2002-We Believe


If there is anything good out there
We believe
If there is hope in the heat of despair
We believe
If honesty opens an eye to the truth
Wake up the world
And welcome the truth

Chorus:
We believe in one name under heaven
Where all things are given by faith love and hope
We believe
We believe in obedience ringing
Te bell of the free
We believe
And well live
What we know

If there is innocence undefined
We believe
If there a chance to retreat from the wild
We believe
If virtue is one thing you wont be without
We fight with the faithful
Well sing and well shout

Repeat Chorus (2x)

EFY 2002-Stand in Holy Places

In a sea shifting values
Tossed on every wave
While the winds wail around me
I will not be afraid
To call out for my captain
To calm the waves in me
When I stand a little taller
Its only then I finally see

Chorus:
I stand in holy places
Protected from the storm
Anchored safe in harbor
Tough my sails are ripped and worn
I stand in holy places
And I will not move
Until the Lord has come
And says Well done
He is the hope I hold on to
In holy places

There is a harbor in His holy house
An anchor in His grace
That steadies in the waves of doubt
And in every holy places
No matter where I travel
His spirits guiding me
With the Lord as my captain
There is a peaceful port in me

Repeat Chorus:
