Calling Heaven
Words & music: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
Chorus:
Calling heaven
Seeking mercy
Tell me theres a place for these
What of the children who have never felt a love
Tender as the morning
Nursing the bruises
And the scars that never seem to go away
What of the babies who have never left the womb
Breathing in the lifeline
Angels in waiting
Gone before they could be given wings to fly
Chorus
What of the noble who are searching for the truth
With truest of intentions
And yet theyre jaded by
Hypocrisies behind cathedral walls
What of the humble and the meek that knew despair
And never got their moment

Purified
Verse1
Where the angels see
You are praised as You should be.
But how can I express
My yearning for Your Holiness.
May it be (that)
Chorus
I will open my heart
Search me in the deepest part.
And I will stand in cleansing fire,
By You, purified,
By You I'm purified.
Verse 2
Savior of my soul
To your strength I yield control.
Purge me of my stain
Sin will lose it's mortal reign.
Make me free (and)
Chorus
I will open my heart

A Little Stronger Everyday
Words & music:michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
I was throwin away what I needed most
It was the father, son and the holy ghost
A little carnal knowledge is a dangerous thing
Itll eat a hole in the brain
Id be the biggest fool in the whole universe
To trade a heavenly blessing for a worldly curse
I was a weaker man til I made my stand
Now I am here to make a change
Chorus:
Im running blind on the wheels of faith
(Im) moving to the beat of a heart that prays
(and) hangin on every word you said
I get a little stronger every day
Aint ganna find any help on the t.v.
Or written down on the pages of people magazine
It takes digging a little deeper into the good book now
For a little sacred advice...oh yah
Chorus

Goin Thru The Motions
Words & music: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
Actions have been justified
All is compromised
Looking for approval there
In someone elses eyes, oh
Dodging all you really are
Becomes your greatest task
Acting out your lonely part
You hide behind your mask
Bridge:
Never true to yourself
Knowing well this is not like you
Fooling yourself
Youre just living a lie
Chorus:
Goin goin
Goin thru the motions
Goin goin
Goin thru the motions
Goin goin

Let Me Show You The Way
Im looking at you, old friend of mine
Theres no use pretending that everythings fine
Now dont be so brave, dont be so proud
I want you to know that Im here for you now
I can see you hurting and its hurting me
It doesnt have to be this way...
Chorus:
(somebody gonna hold your head up)
If you let me hold you closer
(somebody gonna show you the light)
Let me know you
(somebody gonna hold your head up)
Let me show you the way
(somebody gonna see you right)
Im feeling for you, feeling so much
When this heart is big enough for the both of us
Ill give you my love if you give me your pain
Ill hold it inside of me till youre stronger again
Well, I hate seeing you so far away
When not a word can say it enough...

Friends 2003
Music: Michael W. Smith
Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
Can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter in your life is through
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
Chorus:
And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say "never"
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends.
With the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you'll live in

You Need A Saviour
Words:deborah d. smith
Music: michael w. smith
Made a friend last night, or you thought you did
Had a drink, had a talk, took a drive
Shared the night, gave up a part of your soul
Now shes gone and youre a little less alive.
Shake it off, never let your feelings begin
But your defenses are down and the fear is closing in.
Chorus:
Yes, you really need a saviour
Somehow youve known it all along
Yes, you really need a saviour
You know youve heard it for so long
Yes, you really need a saviour
Someone to come and lead you on
You need a saviour
You need a saviour
Its time
Told yourself today just for your own sake
What was lost wouldnt cost anyway

Awesome God
When He rolls up His sleeves
He ain't just puttin' on the Ritz
(our God is an Awesome God)
There is thunder in His footsteps
And lightning in His fists
(our God is an Awesome God)
Well the Lord He wasn't jokin'
when He kicked 'em out of Eden
It wasn't for no reason that He shed His blood
His return is very close and so you better be believin'
That our God is an Awesome God
REFRAIN
Our God (our god) is an Awesome God
He Reigns (he reigns) from heaven above
With Wisdom (with wisdom)pow'r and love
Our God is an Awesome God
When the sky was starless in the void of the night
(our god is an awesome god)
He spoke into the darkness and created the light
(our god is an awesome god)
