 A Briefing for the Ascent 

Take a burning spear 
And the Savior's promise 
Ride a horse of air 
Through the burning forest 

With our Father's faith 
And a child's wonder 
Down the halls of grace 
By His mercy go under 

It will seem so sudden 
Yes, but through God's will 
The season will dream and 
Time will stand still (for) 

Hearts in waiting 
Ascending 
Hearts in waiting 

Beneath a crimson sea 
Is a buried treasure 
You will find the key 
That unlocks forever 

Does it seem so sudden 
This sad sweet goodbye? 
This is what you have lived for 
Now for this you must die 

Hearts in waiting 
Ascending 
Hearts in waiting 

Prayer: 
Close your eyes 
And rest secure 
Your soul is safe 
Your body sure 
He that loves you 
Is He that keeps 
The One that guards you 
Never slumbers, never sleeps 

Take the greatest care 
To hold onto your vision 
Climb the golden stair 
To the courts of Heaven 
It will seem so sudden 
But you will laugh as you run 
You will wash in the river 
You will shine in the Son 

Hearts in waiting 
Ascending 
Hearts in waiting 
Ascending. . .

Beyond the Wall of Sleep

Hold my hand
I'm here, my old friend
'Til you have gone
Beyond the wildwood's end
Far enough
To join the One you love

Beyond the wall of sleep
You will shine again

In your eyes
Grow the shadows long
The season's ending
And your work is done

Your heart has known
A world to call your home

Beyond the wall of sleep
You will shine again

Beyond the wall of sleep
Beyond the wall of sleep
Beyond the wall of sleep
You will SHINE AGAIN

Kiss me once, and may God be with you.

The Wood Between the Worlds

I  have lost some familiar faces
Some were taken and some departed
I can't go back to the familiar places
I die a little every day I live

I'm in a world I don't belong
I've got a home in the world to come

(Chorus)
I cross the wild wood to my ever after
(Here in the wood between the worlds)
Between the night and the endless day
(Here in the wood between the worlds)

I'm on the lookout for the hidden dangers
The test and trials of this shadow land
To tears and heartache I have been no stranger
I die a little every day I live

I'm in a place called "Here and There"
On the border of far and near

The smiles, the tears
Of boyhood years
The cheerful hearts now broken
The eyes that shone
Now dimmed and gone
How long?
How long?

Changeless

Once upon a lonely hilltop
Where my heart could find no sleep
Rest came down and filled my soul up
From the everlasting deep

Changeless are the stars that shine
Changeless morn succeeds to even
Still the everlasting hill
Changeless watch the changeless heaven

(Chorus)
I need your love
Your changeless love
I need you

I have climbed some lonely hilltops
I have touched the fleeting soul
Dreamt I saw a billion teardrops
Falling down like ice and snow

Changeless breaks the tide to shore
Changeless are the times and seasons
You are the same forever more
I will keep these changeless reasons
(why)

No shadow of turning falls
No promise is broken
No nothing can turn my heart
From the words You have spoken
Changeless Your love
Deep as an ocean

My Love, My Love

You took my heart in hand
My love, my love
Please let me fall
Or let me stand

My broken heart's in your hand
My love, my love
I give it all
All that I am

Let me fall, let me stand
Let me love you
Let me tell you again that I need you

My hopes were written on sand
My love, my love
It's all very clear
Part of the plan

Only you understand
My love, my love
It's time to go on
Believing again

(Chorus)
Oooh, when this dream comes true
I know deep inside
It will last forever

You hold my life in your hand
My love, my love
You won't let me fall
You let me stand

My hopes and dreams in your hand
My love, my love
Now, I'm standing here
Believing again

(Chorus)

My love, my love

Capture Me

Wild horses run
Wild fire in their eyes and slaves to none
Wild winds rage on
Tear the leaves from the trees
Where the frame of God is hung

Through dark nights alone I run
Through a hole in a hand
Where the crimson-stained river flows
Forever serving a means to an end

(Chorus)
'Til You capture me
I surrender to Your sanctity
Then You capture me
I win the freedom of this slavery
Embracing all that you impart
Hear the crying in my heart
And capture me

Wild river runs
To a bottomless sea, deep thunder rolls
Down the forest halls
Tired earth quakes
Lightning breaks
And the vault of heaven falls

In wild woods I call Your name
I am the turbulent air
I am a whirlwind of ice and fire
I flood the world with my fathomless tears

Where Dreams Come True

You came to me in silence of the night
You walk in silence of a dream
You wear the glow of everlasting light
Brighter than sunlight on the stream

Soon fades the memory of finished years
The after mark of love in every tear
(you are)

Where dreams come true
Where I want to be (where I long to be)
Where dreams come true
Where no heart breaks
To be with you
Where dreams come true

The stars come nightly to the ancient sky
The tidal wave rolls through the sea
I know not time, nor space, nor deep, nor high
Can keep Your love away from me

I pray You'll guide me through this shadowland
Unlatch the starry gates and take my hand
(I'll be)

Long, Long, Long

It's been a long, long long time
How could I ever have lost you
When I loved you

It took a long, long, long time
Now I'm so happy I found you
How I love you

So many tears I was searching
So many tears I was wasting, oh, oh

Now I can see you, see you
How can I ever misplace you
How I want you
Oh, I love you
You know that I need you
Ooh, I love you

It's been a long, long long time
It's been a long long, long time

Going Home

Going Home  Going Home
I am going home
Quiet like some still day
I am going home

Jesus calls me home
Jesus calls me home
Jesus calls me
I will follow
Jesus calls me home

Going Home Going Home
I am going home
Quiet like some still day
Jesus calls me home
