A Promise Made Is A Promise Kept R. Stonehill & R. Elias We must trust the hands That we cannot see That's how we become Who we're born to be A faith made pure Like a cross of gold Here in a dying world That's the only thing We can ever hold chorus A promise made is a promise kept There is a love so true Just hold on, God is holding on to you Day by day Prayer by prayer Oh, don't you ever forget That a promise made Is a promise kept Through the waiting years And the tears we've cried If our dreams come true Or remain denied The greatest gift Far beyond compare Is to realize when we call on God We will find him there chorus bridge God isn't sleeping Oh you know that He isn't blind And our prayers will be answered In His own way In His own time chorus CAREERS-BMG MUSIC PUBLISHING, INC. (GOSPEL DIVISION)/BMI STONEHILLIAN MUSIC/ASCAP I Turn To You R. Stonehill & C. Keaggy There is a window in my attic Where I have gone so many times Sending my prayers up like a letter Written across a paper sky But as the days turn into seasons And the seasons turn to years I am speaking less and learning how to hear chorus I turn to you Like the night turns into morning I turn to you When I feel like trouble's knocking at my door I turn to you, and through all the years You've never turned away And I am always turning back to you All of the times when I was foolish I've only got myself to blame Oh I have tangoed with temptation Just like a moth drawn to the flame And as I've sifted through these ashes There is one thing I have learned Your healing touch is there When I get burned chorus SPARROW SONG (A DIVISION OF SPARROW CORP.)/BMI STONEHILLIAN MUSIC/ASCAP In Jesus' Name By R.

Stonehill, D. Perkins, & T. Taylor I have a secret I can't tell And I've learned to conceal it well Ah but this disturbing smell Keeps coming from the carpet That's where the old ghosts hide away Down in the darkness and decay I work so hard to make them stay Down beneath the floorboards Oh I needed the perfect plan But it's all gotten out of hand Keep my head in the sand now It's so scary under the rug Bury your sins and they won't survive I told myself 'till the big surprise Down in the dirt is where they thrive Like little poison toadstools Under the rug It's the thing in Pandora's box Biting through all the chains and locks Now the whole house is rocking It's so scary under the rug It's so hairy under the rug Skeleton's dance and I fear they might Rattle their bones in the broad daylight So I wear a poker face Close all the curtains just in case But something lurks in the crawling space Pointing bony fingers I hear the ticking of my telltale heart Like a bomb set to blow my world apart I wish that guilt would make us smart But I'm sweeping all this garbage I have a secret I can't tell And I've learned to conceal it well Under the rug SKY SOUTH MUSIC/ASCAP STONEHILLIAN MUSIC/ASCAP Remember My Name R.

Stonehill chorus That's why, that's why we don't love God Although our lips feign praise Still our hearts are far away That's why, that's why we don't love God We're so consumed with self We can't love anybody else We mask the nakedness Of our mortality Cloaked in this poison pride And the illusion of control We need the gift of grace More than the air we breath But as it draws us near Still it repels our stubborn souls chorus That's why, that's why we don't love God Oh yes our lips feign praise But our hearts are far away That's why, that's why we don't love God I don't want my prayers to be Some meaningless litany Why are we so afraid, guarded and counterfeit Is it because we know all the shadows we conceal And we are so alone Wolves in the winter snow Never imagining That this mercy could be real chorus bridge We say we need a little help We need some new direction Avoid the blessing like a curse We're only lying to ourselves What we need is resurrection What we need is second birth That's why, that's why we don't love That's why, that's why we don't love That's why, that's why we don't love That's why, that's why we don't love God STONEHILLIAN MUSIC/ASCAP When I'm Afraid R.

Stonehill Clinging to this telescope Scanning the horizon Stranded in my little boat On the sea of dreams Running out of time and hope Searching for an island Finding every cruel mirage Is never what is seems chorus Then I sailed to the end of the world And I saw your face Your wonderful face And that's when you Called to my Lazarus heart You rescued my Lazarus heart Called to this Lazarus heart Rise again Rise again Drifting through this veil of mist Blinding an relentless Trying to understand The secret language of my soul Forces in me turn and twist Raging like a tempest Doubt and fear wash over me Like waves that rise and roll But then I sailed to the edge of the world And I saw your face Your wonderful face chorus Suddenly the bells were ringing everywhere And Angels filled the air Like shooting stars across the sky Then I knew forever who you are And tears of joy fell from my eyes You rescued my Lazarus heart You called to my Lazarus heart You rescued my Lazarus heart Called to my Lazarus heart STONEHILLIAN MUSIC/ASCAP
