Autopilot

I’ve been knocking on the wrong door
going into autopilot
Still can’t see the headlights
reaching out into the darkness
Crying out aloud
I am home now
Rain says I’m alive
I am alive

GROUND CONTROL
I wish I was ground control
Then if you could fly
We could take our eyes from here
Once there was another time where progress had it seemed
Changed our way of thinking from creating death machines
Other worlds were colonised more living things enslaved
Robots built to keep the peace and make sure we behaved
Many ships had travelled far to find the last frontier
But had we travelled in we may have learned to face our fears
And it seems all I can do is dream about the day
Where you and I will find the time to wander through the maze
I wish I was ground control
Then if you could fly
We could take our eyes from here
I looked beneath the wedding gown of compromise and shame
and saw reflections of a world where life was just the same
I thought about embarking on a plan to make some change
But realised as age creeps on it soon falls out of range
Will I now just be content to try and find someone
Who feels the same about it and won’t hold me with a gun
Or should we live as islands with our dreams held in the sky
spun around our eyes so we can always still ask why
Hugh Wilson

Wrong

I guess there's something wrong with me
'cause nothing's as it seems to be
keep pushing this load up hill
if things don't break I feel I will

All along you have always
Always been singing
Singing love
Singing life
And all along you have always
always been bringing
All I’ll need
Grace for today, tomorrow and yesterday
Grace for today, tomorrow and yesterday
Hallelujah Hallelujah
It’s a new day all over again
Hallelujah Hallelujah
We will follow The Way
Hallelujah Hallelujah
It’s a new day all over again
Hallelujah Hallelujah
We will follow The Way

Find the Faith

Summer's come and I'm on my way
Saviour's light and another day
Get up now lose a little control
Face in wind arms open wide
Pray while we still can
Find the faith to stand

God restored us
05:52
|

|
Those he loved watched him die
He expired before their eyes
They said they heard him say “it is finished”
He was the only perfect man
They didn’t yet understand
The reason why he died
But in three days the world would change
As the man who was God would rearrange
The course of human history and the purpose of living
For the stone was rolled rolled away
and night had turned to day
Death had lost it’s sway and the curse was ended
Hallelujah
God restored us
Hallelujah
God is with us
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
God be praised
Women saw the empty tomb
He appeared in an upper room
Hundreds of people saw - he ascended
Even the Doubter had his plea
To touch the wounds in his hands and feet
Realised… and so he proclaimed
“The God of me and The Lord of me”
“The Lord of me and The God of me”
“The God of me and The Lord of me”
“The God of Me”
Hallelujah
God restored us
Hallelujah
God is with us
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
God be praised
He also appeared as a blinding light
Diverting the one who had sought to fight
The very people who died to testify
Testify to the truth and light/life
That Jesus gave when he gave his life
And life eternal is the hope we live for
Hallelujah
God restored us
Hallelujah
God is with us
Hallelujah
He is risen
Hallelujah
He is risen
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
God be praised

Over the waters

In the beginning
You hovered over the waters
Pour down
Pour down like rain

When the laughter fades and the tears have come
Let them flow for soon, the time will come
When the light that fills tomorrow
Greets today with no more sorrow
With waves of joy
That rise from seas of love
Hallelujah
So when you fall put your face toward the sun
What's done is done, that part of the race is run
Keep moving into your tomorrow
Fight the fear and pain and sorrow
With shouts of hope and shouts of love
Hallelujah
When the doubts and fears seem to overrun
Now the night is darkest the time has come
To let the God who made you love you
Let the God who loves you save you
Open up to the God who is three in one
Hallelujah
I believe that God is Father, Spirit, Son
I believe that God he saves, that he is one
Jesus is the light that saves us
Jesus is the hope that saves us
Open up your heart let him shine
Hallelujah

Alive in the light
04:02
|

|
When we’re together it just all makes sense
You keep it all in motion
Sustaining everything
There’s no escaping all the love you bring
The joy in times of sadness
The reason that I sing
There’s nowhere else that I could ever go
I’m standing right beside you
Your love is all I know
Through every peak and valley we’ve been through
The hope in me gets stronger
Stronger
Alive in the light that guides the way
Trusting in all the things we’ve held
Living to see another day
And after everything that we’ve been through
The more I know about you
The more I love about you
I want to live with you in all I do
No time for second guessing
Oh no
Alive in the light that guides the way
Trusting in all the things we’ve held
Living to see another day
