THROUGH THE STREETS OF JERUSALEM OVER TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO
HE SHOWED US ALL JUST WHAT WE HAD TO DO
TO GET TO WHERE WE WANNA GO
HE PRAYED FOR STRENGTH TO GET BACK UP
EVERY TIME HE WOULD STUMBLE AND FALL
WITH BLOOD SWEAT AND TEARS RUNNIN' DOWN ON HIS FACE
HE WAS AN EXAMPLE FOR US ALL
TO CARRY THE CROSS, SHOULDER THE WEIGHT
HE SHED HIS BLOOD SO THE WORLD COULD BE SAVED
IF WE WALK IN HIS STEPS WE WON'T GET LOST
AND HE'LL CARRY US WHEN WE'RE NOT STRONG ENOUGH
TO CARRY THE CROSS
DOWN THE STREETS OF OUR NEIGHBORHOODS
SOMEBODY'S SUFFERING EVERYDAY
THE TRIALS TRIBULATIONS OF EVERY DAY LIFE
CAN BE MORE THAN ONE PERSON CAN TAKE
HE GIVES US THE GRACE THAT ALL OF US NEED
TO FACE ALL OUR WORRIES AND FEAR
WHEN I'M DOWN MY KNEES AND I'M PRAYIN' FOR HELP
IT'S HIS LOVING ARMS I FEEL PULLING ME NEAR
TO CARRY THE CROSS, SHOULDER THE WEIGHT
HE SHED HIS BLOOD SO THE WORLD COULD BE SAVED
IF WE WALK IN HIS STEPS WE WON'T GET LOST
AND HE'LL CARRY US WHEN WE'RE NOT STRONG ENOUGH
TO CARRY THE CROSS
SOME ARE BIG SOME ARE SMALL
BUT THEY'RE BLESSINGS FOR US ALL
AS WE FOLLOW IN HIS STEPS TO CALVERY
2. I Turn to You
Written by:
JEFF KOHEN
WHEN THE PROBLEMS OF THE DAY SURROUND
AND MY CROSSES START TO WEIGH ME DOWN
I TURN TO YOU, I TURN TO YOU
WHEN I CAN'T TELL WHAT'S WRONG OR RIGHT
AND THE ANSWER SHOULD BE BLACK AND WHITE
I TURN TO YOU I TURN TO YOU
CHORUS
MY SOURCE OF STRENGTH, MY POINT OF LIGHT
MY RAY OF HOPE MY PEACE OF MIND
THE SILENT VOICE THAT SPEAKS THE TRUTH
WHEN I NEED LOVE I TURN, I TURN TO YOU
WHEN SOMETHINGS BROKEN DEEP WITHIN
AND I NEED WHAT THE WORLD CAN'T GIVE
I TURN TO YOU, I TURN TO YOU
WHEN THIS LIFE BRINGS ME TO MY KNEES
AND I NEED TWO ARMS TO CARRY ME
I TURN TO YOU, I TURN TO YOU
CHORUS
BRIDGE I TURN TO YOU TO CALM THE WIND AND RAIN
TO ACCEPT WHAT I CAN'T CHANGE
TO FEED MY SOUL WITH FAITH

HE CARRIED THE WEIGHT OF THE CROSS ON HIS SHOULDER
ON THE PLACE OF THE SKULL
THEY DROVE THE NAILS THROUGH HIS HANDS AND HIS FEET
HIS PRECIOUS BLOOD SAVED US ALL
THEY SAID THEY HAD KILLED HIM THE WORD QUICKLY SPREAD
JUST THREE DAYS LATER HE ROSE FROM THE DEAD
HES ALIVE HES ALIVE IN ME
HES THE TRUTH THAT SETS MY SOUL FREE
HE IS MERCY AND LOVE THE WAY OF FORGIVENESS
THE SPIRIT THAT MOVES THROUGH OUR LIVES
HES ALIVE HES ALIVE
WHEN YOU FEEL FORSAKEN YOUR LOST AND ALONE
YOU’LL FIND HIM THERE
HIS ARMS ARE WIDE OPEN TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE
IN THE POWER OF PRAYER
JUST LOOK IN THE EYES OF AN INNOCENT CHILD
YOU’LL HEAR HIS LAUGHTER YOU SEE HIS SMILE
HES ALIVE HES ALIVE IN ME
HES THE TRUTH THAT SETS MY SOUL FREE
HE IS MERCY AND LOVE THE WAY OF FORGIVENESS
THE SPIRIT THAT MOVES THROUGH OUR LIVES
HES ALIVE
ALL OF THE ANSWERS ARE THERE IN THE BOOK
HE’S ALL AROUND US IF WE’D ONLY LOOK
HES ALIVE HES ALIVE AND WELL
HE IS THE TRUTH THAT SAVES US FROM HELL

LIFE CAN TAKE YOU DOWN A DEAD END ROAD
IN A BLINK OF AN EYE IT CAN SPIN OUT OF CONTROL
WHENYOU FEEL LIKE YOUR FORSAKEN AND FEEL LIKE GIVEN UP
WHEN THERES NOTHIN TO BELIEVE IN AND NO ONE CARES ENOUGH
FAITH GIVES YOU HOPE HOPE GIVES YOU STRENGTH
STRENGTH GIVES YOU COURAGE TO GO ON EACH DAY
WHEN YOUR PRAYING FOR ANSWER TO THINGS YOU CAN’T CHANGE
WHEN ITS OUT OF YOUR HANDS YOU HOLD ON TO FAITH
ITS THE REASON THAT A BROKEN HEART CAN MEND
WHY YOU CAN PICK UP ALL THE PEICES AND LEARN TO LIVE AGAIN
YOU CAN’T SEE IT WITH YOUR EYES OR TOUCH IT WITH YOUR HAND
BUT IT MOVES THROUGH THE SOUL OF A WOMAN AND A MAN
FAITH GIVES YOU HOPE HOPE GIVES YOU STRENGTH
STRENGTH GIVES YOU CURRAGE TO STAND UP EACH DAY
WHEN YOUR PRAYING FOR ANSWER TO THINGS YOU CAN’T CHANGE
WHEN ITS OUT OF YOUR HANDS JUST HOLD ON TO FAITH
CAUSE EYES HAVE BEEN OPENED AND CRUTCHES THROWN AWAY
LIVES HAVE CHANGED FOR EVER WITH JUST AN OUNCE

I COULDN’T TELL YOU WHAT WAS MISSING FROM MY LIFE
I JUST KNEW I NEEDED SOMETHING REAL TO MAKE IT RIGHT
I WAS FEELING DISCONNECTED FROM MY SOUL
EVERYDAY I’D WAKE UP THINKING THERE MUST BE SOMETHING MORE
I WAS FILLED WITH QUESTIONS LIKE WHAT AM I LIVING FOR
DIDN’T HAVE A CLUE WHAT TO DO OR WHICH WAY TO GO
I WAS LOST IN MY HEART I SEARCHING IN THE DARK
BUT I COULD NOT FIND THE ANSWERS ANYWHERE
THE ONLY PLACE I HAD TO LOOK WAS THERE INSIDE THAT BOOK
LIFE IS FRAGILE HANDLE WITH PRAYER
IT WAS LIKE A WEIGHT WAS LIFTED I WAS NOT ALONE
THE CONFUSSION THAT I FACED WAS SUDDENLY ALL GONE
I JUST HAD TO LET HIM IN TO FIX ALL THAT WAS WRONG
I WAS LOST IN MY HEART I SEARCHING IN THE DARK
BUT I COULD NOT FIND THE ANSWERS ANYWHERE
THE ONLY PLACE I HAD TO LOOK WAS THERE INSIDE THAT BOOK
LIFE IS FRAGILE HANDLE WITH PRAYER
AND TO THINK SO MUCH COMFORT WAS RIGHT THERE ALL THE TIME
IT TO THINK I COULDN’T SEE IT HOW COULD I BEEN SO BLIND

Sometimes life is a question, you don’t want to ask
Sorting through the lonely broken pieces of your past
When you can’t find a reason, the will or the way
Every second here another breath you know you have to take
The answer’s there hiding in the lies
It’s gonna be alright
Chorus:
When the walls fall down
And you find the truth
Shadows run for cover
Light comes shinning through
Every Chance you take
Could be your saving grace
There’s a calm inside your soul that’s only found
When the walls fall down
Don’t know where you’re going but you see the other side
You’re hearts feeling something that you almost recognize
Yesterday’s gone, tomorrow’s in the wind
Here and now you know it’s where you’re second chance begins
You don’t ask why, there’s hope in your eyes
You’re ready to try
Bridge:
Tears on your face say what you can’t say
What you believe can set you free

Everybody needs somebody to lean on when their not strong enough
When the winds of life blow cold a gentle hand to hold
Can be the wings to help them rise above
It doesn’t matter who you are
If you want to help someone you don’t have to look that far
It’s not how much, it’s not how big or small
Love is measured every time you heal a broken heart
When you do a little, when you do your part
You give hope another day to live
Blessed are the hands that give.
We can’t close our eyes pretend that we don’t see
The lives we need to touch
Were all a part of this the reason we exist
The diference that we make is up to us
Lets wipe a tear off every face
Lets make the choice to make this world a better place
It’s not how much, it’s not how big or small
Love is measured every time you heal a broken heart
When you do a little, when you do your part
You give hope another day to live
Blessed are the hands that give.

HEY GOD I DON’T BELIEVE I EVER THANKED YOU
FOR THE TIME MY BROTHER GOT SICK WASN’T SURE HE’D MAKE IT
THEN HE FINALLY PULLED THROUGH
HEY GOD I WANNA THANK YOU FOR MY FAMILY
THERE HEALTHY AND THERE BEAUTIFUL WE WERE GONNA STOP AT TWO
NOW THERE WAS NUMBER THREE
YOU HAVE YOUR WAYS YOU HAVE YOUR PLAN
SOMETIMES MYSTERIOUS AND HARD TO UNDERSTAND
BUT I’M HUMBLED BY YOUR GRACE
AND EVERYTHING YOU DO
HEY GOD HEY GOD I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU
HEY GOD TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY NEPHEW
HE WAS ONLY NINETEEN SAY HE DIDN’T FEEL A THING
HE WAS ONLY TWENTY-ONE FIGHTING FOR OUR FREEDOM
NOW HES THERE WITH YOU
HEY GOD YOU KNOW WHAT ITS LIKE TO LOOSE
SOMEONEONE WHO YOU TRUELY LOVE
WHEN YOU GAVE YOUR SON TO US
YOU MUST HAVE CRIED THEN TOO
YOU HAVE YOUR WAYS YOU HAVE YOUR PLAN
SOMETIMES MYSTERIOUS AND HARD TO UNDERSTAND
BUT I’M HUMBLED BY YOUR GRACE
AND EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO
HEY GOD HEY GOD I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU
SOMETIMES I FORGET TO STOP AND BOW MY HEAD
AND REMEMBER THAT I HAVE BEEN BLESSED
