Sometimes we all feel like something's missing
And our days start to drag us down
There's an awnser and if we'll listen
It's teeling us peace is found
When we reach out 'cause

Love comes back when we take care of each other
Just like that, it can lifts weight that we're under
There's always enough, no way to give too much 'cause
Love comes back to us

Yeah
You know that we all have moments
When we start to feel alone
but When we lift the ones around us
Suddenly doubt lets go
And we find hope 'cause

Chorus

When we look beyond ourselves we find out
That we can help somebody else feel how

Chorus

Love comes back

Hold On
EFY Songs

There's a call
That echoes in my heart
And I know
That it's been from the start
And my faith grows
Everytime it branches
I know each day's a brand new chance

Chorus:
to believe in the promise He made
My light will not fade
'Cause I'm gonna keep it burning
My hope is forever unshaken
I know that I'll make it home
Hold on

When it's right
Feels like the sunligth on my face
Still at times
All my doubt can keep the light away

But the dawn
Brings a brand new sky
And I know
It always remindso me shy

why I believe in the promise He made
My light will not fade
'Cause I'm gonna keep it burning
My hope is forever unshaken
I know that I'll make it home
Hold on

There's never place Where He can't reach us
Everythingthat He's given is to teach us

I believe in the promise He made
My light will not fade
'Cause I'm gonna keep it burning
My hope is forever unshaken
I know that I'll make it home
Hold on

to the promise He made
My light will not fade
'Cause I'm gonna keep it burning
My hope is forever unshaken
I know that I'll make it home
Hold on

Felicia Sorensen - Which part is mine (Mórmon)

2011-10-03T21:46:00.000-07:00

Which Part Is Mine?
words and music by Michael Mclean

She was only a dairy man's daughter,
she was only a child of thirteen;
but the stars on the radio brightened her nights with a dream.
So she called up her best girlfriend Jenny
'cause she thought they would make quite a pair,
She said, "Let's you and me, try to sing harmony
at the amateur night at the fair."

But she only had the range of an alto,
so the part she knew best went to her friend.
And when Jenny's soprano drowned out the piano
they'd have to start over again.
And the dairyman's daughter would then say,

"Which part is mine?
and Jen, which part is yours?
Could you tell me one more time;
I'm never quite sure.

And I won't cross the line
like I have before.
So please help me learn which part is mine,
and which part is yours."

She grew up and got married to Bobby
kept him working on his MBA
they had two little redheaded children,
and one on the way.

Everybody said she could work wonders,
and she wondered what everyone meant.
She played so many roles, it was taking its toll
and she feared that her time was misspent.

So she opened her heart to her husband.
They discussed everything on her list.
from the kids, to the job,
to her feelings for her Bob.
But what it really boiled down to was this: She said:

"Which part is mine?
and Bob, which part is yours?
Let's review it one more time;
I guess I"m not sure.

And I won't cross the line
like I have before
if we just define which part is mine,
and which part is yours."

Every sleepless night knows many mothers
who are wond'ring if they've done alright.
And the dairyman's daughter knew
more than a few of those nights.

Had she given her son too much freedom?
Had she smothered her two teenage girls?
Did she spoil them too much or not trust them enough
to prepare them for life in this world?

So she opened her heart to the heavens
and she spoke of her children by name.
And the prayer that she prayed
that her kids would be saved had a very familiar refrain.

Which part is mine?
And God, which part is yours?
Could you tell me one more time,
I'm never quite sure.

And I won't cross the line
like I have before.
But it gets so confusing some times.
Should I do more, or trust the divine?
Please, just tell me define which part's mine,
and which part is yours.

Did you hear me?
I can feel you near me.
It is the answer
that I've been longing for;

just to know you hear me,
and to feel you near me.
It's all the answer
that I've been longing for.

Did you hear me?
I can feel you near me.
It is the answer
that I've been longing for;

just to know you hear me,
and to feel you near me
it's all the answer
that I've been longing for...
after I've done my best,
I know you'll do the rest.

Title: Sharing the Light
Words and Music by: Bryce Neubert
Vocals: Bryce Neubert, Vickey Pahnke, Barry Gibbons, Lucie Gibbons, Rich Gibbons, John Canaan, Melissa Pace, Felicia Sorenson, Wanda Lindstrom

Lyrics:

Something inside me keeps lighting my way
Somewhere theres someone whos guiding my day
And though I dont see, still He keeps lifting me
Higher every time

Something keeps burning inside of my heart
It leads me to others still lost in the dark
But the sky clears above, when I share His love
And I show them a better way

Chorus:
Sharing the light, sharing the light
Reflecting all the love He gives to me
It almost seems like heaven, cause we always feel Him there
When were sharing His light somewhere

Sharing the light, sharing the light
Cause someday all the world will see the sun
Im sure that it will be the brightest day we ever see
When we share the light...with everyone.

Sometimes I know its so hard to begin
Youre down and you cant find the strength from within
But the moment you try, its enough to get by
And youll find His light again

And suddenly something will lighten your way
And lead you along to a far better day
And soon you will grow and youll brighten you glow
And youll see it come back to stay...

Chorus II:
Were sharing the light, sharing the light
Reflecting all the love He gives to me
It almost seems like heaven, cause we always feel Him there
When were sharing His light somewhere

Were sharing the light, sharing the light
Cause one day all the world will see His Son
Were sure that it will be the brightest day we ever see
When He shares His light with everyone

Words/Music/Vocal: Steve James

Album: Sharing the Light in the Wilderness EFY 1993

Lyrics:

Looking to the night

Searching through the darkness

I find some light

It seems to call for me

Feel the warmth enfolding

Its gentle voice is helping me

To see someone is out there

Who answers each prayer

Chorus:

Look to the Light

The hope of heaven I feel inside

Look to the light

The love in my heart

Let it shine

In this world of night

People all around me loosing sight

They seem to call for me

They're crying from the shadows

I raise my voice so they can see

That I know someone is out there

Who answers each prayer

Chorus

And soon

When Morning comes

The sun will rise again

Chorus

His love in my heart let it shine

Look to the Light

Hold on and look to the light

Album: Sharing the Light in the Wilderness
Title: It Happens This Way by Roger Hoffman

Lyrics:

First the light touches one heart.
Then, it reaches two.
It found it's way into my life;
Now I'll come search for you.

Chorus:
And it happens this way again and again
Till it reaches out to all men.
Heart by heart,
The Lord's kingdom grows.

I feel so small in in a call so great,
To share the truth with you,
But the love I have is a shining flame,
The light of truth I'll bring to you.

Chorus:
And it happens this way again and again
Till it reaches out to all men.
Heart by heart,
The Lord's kingdom grows.
Push the stone with all your might.
Live, and rejoice and share the light.
Open your heart and find your fellow man-

The one who goes must someday return,
And thinks his labor's done...
But all around he finds hearts to light,
He suddenly sees he's only begun,

Chorus:
And it happens this way again and again
Till it reaches out to all men.
Heart by heart,
The Lord's kingdom grows.
Push the stone with all your might.
Live, and rejoice and share the light.
Open your heart and find you fellow man-
All over the world.

EFY 2008 - Steady & Sure

2010-10-25T17:13:00.001-07:00

Here I am,

Facing the future,

Where I stand,
I can't see it all,
But I won't let my fear get the best of me,
And I won't let the world bring me down,
As a matter of fact I'm standing my ground,

Chorus-
I'm ready to go for it,
I'm ready to reach for the Northern star,
You gotta know I won't auit,
Cause I wanna be where the faithful are,
I'm gonna hold on,
No matter how long,
Steady and sure.

Throught the night,
The storm is still raging (tempest is raging)
Distant light,
Still guiding my soul.

Now the angry waves are surrounding me,
Try to force my heart to sea,
But I'm fixing my eyes on what I can be.

Chorus

Steady and,
Sure I'll have my days,
Having my ups and downs in so many ways,
But unseen hands wilh love so pure are guiding me upward steady and sure

EFY 2002 -Bring Them In

2010-10-25T17:09:00.003-07:00

Bring Them In

(Song for Martin’s Cove)

November 1856 just west of devils gate

The place the now call Martin’s Cove

Sacred ground of fate

Some hours ago we somehow crossed

Sweetwater sheets of ice

At times it stole away your breath

At times it took your life

The sky is growing dark again

There’s little food to eat

The chilling winds cut to the bone

I cannot feel my feet

I know that Zion lay just ahead

As I rest and close my eyes

Will I wake to see the morn?

May be paradise

Chorus:

Go bring the men from the plains

Go bring them in from the storm

Like a fire the spirit’s burning

Bring them in and keep them warm

Go bring them in front the plains

Go bring them in from the cold

Wrap your loving arms around them

Bring his peace to their souls

And tonight I dream of Kirtland

Zion’s camp’s holy test

I dream of independence

Liberty and Far West

Tonight I dream of Nauvoo

Brother Joseph’s iron will

And tonight I dream of Carthage

And how we miss him still

And tonight I dream oh Bethlehem

Nazareth and Galilee

Tonight I dream of miracles

From our master and our king

So where it starts to whispers

And it turns to shout so clear

Wake up, wake up, it’s not a dream

The valley boys are here

Repeat Chorus

And now it’s me who walks these steps

Just west of Devil’s gate

A place we now call Martin’s cove

Sacred ground of fate

In silence and in reverence

Sweetwater we now cross

And hear the echo of their prayers

Their tears and their loss

And night still needs the light that shines

Its truth we need to share

To honor those who came this way

We’ll lift up and we’ll care

On our backs and in our hearts

We’ll carry and proclaim

And heed a prophet’s call once more

And bring them in from the pains

Repeat Chorus:

To their souls

Bring them on

EFY 2002 - Soul, Heart And Mind

2010-10-25T17:05:00.000-07:00

One solitary question
Open heaven once again
Ringing in the restoration
Piercing veils, parting friends
And we hung on every line
Every point of belief he would define
And love filled the chasm of time and
Began to overflow
Soul, heart and mind

Wading through the persecution
With a glance he caught my eye
For a final contribution
Asked if I for him would die
Then he pierced my very soul
Every motive, thought, intent he seemed to know
In a breath he said, my friend, it is my time
Stay true to the truth
Soul, heart and mind

Chorus:
And I hope he’s smiling down on me
From where his soul is finally free
With a love you can’t define
And I pray that one day we might be
One for all in unity
Live forever bound in time
Soul, heart and mind

With no hint of hesitation
Keeping heaven in his sight
He gave it all for restoration
Made the B-line for the light
And I can’t but think about him
Every chapter, every verse and every line
And praise to his undivided vision
Ever cleaving to the truth
Soul, heart and mind

Repeat Chorus:
Soul, heart and mind

EFY 2002 - I need every Hour

2010-10-25T16:13:00.001-07:00

I Need The Every Hour

I need Thee every hour
Most gracious Lord
No tender voice like Thine
Can peace afford.

Chorus
I need, oh, I need Thee
Every hour I need Thee
Oh, bless me now, my Savior
I come to Thee

I need Thee every hour
Stay thou nearby
Temptations lose their power
When thou art nigh

Repeat Chorus:

I need Thee every hour
Most holy one
Oh, make me Thine indeed
Thou blessed son

Repeat Chorus:

EFY 2000 - What About

2010-10-25T16:05:00.005-07:00

What About

It’s been said that to live is to sorrow
It’s been said that there’s no road for tomorrow
So men stand there and stare up at the twilight
And they work out each day as it seems right

But, oh, I knew we would shine
So I say “Hallelujah” sometimes
And I think now,
All this time has been on this road

And what about all the September moons?
And what about all the flowers in June?
And what about all the times that I sit here in wonder?

You may think I’m wrong for thinking this way
That I could be wrong every hour of each day
And I think about every moment that I can remember

And they say that a silence is worthy
And they said every young man must grow old
So we work and we reason our times
And it’s quiet all around here at night

But, oh, I knew this would be
And I think there is so much to see
And I think now,
All this time has been passing by

And what about all the mountains in spring?
And what about every choir that sings?
And what about every mother that holds a new child?

And I think about all the times as a child
When I couldn’t keep from laughing out loud
So to catch myself I would go out and stay there a while

And all this could have passed me by
Standing lonely all this time

And what about all the September moons?
And what about all the flowers in June?
And what about all the times that I sit here in wonder

You might think I’m wrong for believing this way
That I could be wrong every hour of each day
And I think about all the times that I sit here in wonder
All the times that I sit here in wonder

EFY 2000 - I know that My Redeemer lives

2010-10-25T16:05:00.003-07:00

I Know That My Redeemer Lives

I know that my redeemer lives

What comfort this sweet sentence gives

He lives; He lives who once was dead

He lives, my ever living head

He lives to bless me with His love

He lives to plead for me above

He lives my hungry soul to feed

He lives to bless in time of need

He lives to grant me rich supply

He lives to guide me with His eye

He lives to comfort me when faint

He lives to hear my soul’s complaint

He lives to silence all my fears

He lives to wipe away my tears

He lives to calm my troubled heart

He lives all blessings to impart

He lives, my kind, wise heav’nly friend

He lives and loves me to the end

He lives, and while He lives I’ll sing

He lives, my prophet, priest and king

He lives and grants me daily breath

He lives and I shall conquer death

He lives, my mansion to prepare

He lives to bring me safely there

He lives! All glory to His name!

He lives, my savior, still the same

Oh sweet the joy this sentence gives

I know that my redeemer lives

He lives! All glory to His name!

He lives, my savior, still the same

Oh, sweet the joy this sentence gives

I know that my redeemer lives

EFY 2000 - Her Garden

2010-10-25T16:04:00.000-07:00

“Like Eve, women of faith carefully nurture their surroundings”

She moves her hand along the ground
Beneath her fingers silent sounds
Of living seeds finding their way
Through fertile soil to light the day

Then as the sky rains heaven’s glow
She toils at weeds that seeds may grow
And she is sure beneath the earth
Her tiny seeds will find rebirth

In every task she undertakes
She cultivates a seed of faith
Within her garden grows a world
For she’s no more a little girl

And with each down she understands
Why heaven’s love gave her the land
For now her offspring in full bloom
Embrace the earth creating too

In earth’s expanse she’ll never know
The endless seeds her life has sown
Yet love still blossoms by her hand
She loves her life
She loves the land

She loves her life
She loves the land

EFY 2000 - Any other Boy

2010-10-25T16:02:00.001-07:00

Any Other Boy (Insults)

The boy never hurt anyone
The boy only wanted to know the truth
The boy only told what he saw and heard

Chorus:
So why do they fight him with insults
Instead of feeding him with love
As they would have any other boy

The preachers all scoff at his words
The words of an obscure, common fourteen-year-old
What threat could he possibly be to them?

Chorus:

Strange how the great ones
In popular places
In congregations
With twisted faces
Could be so affected
By this common boy
With his uncommon history

He knows what he saw, what he heard
He knows what he witnessed
And learned and lived
His only concern is to give the truth

Chorus:

EFY 2000 - Memory Lane

2010-10-25T16:00:00.001-07:00

Memory Lane

And so

You can think of this journey

As a walk down memory lane

See the rough times

That lead you to the right times

That make it worth all the pain

You hear yourself start to pray

At the end of everyday

And in your heart

You feel a change

Chorus:

The wind still blows the strongest tree

The same wind will carry me

And when I set my fears aside

There’s still a voice inside

When the storms are gone

The sun can find me

Sometimes

You’re not sure where you’re going

‘Cause you’re stuck on memory lane

If we could see the end so clear

We’d surely lose our fears

But when I’m still I feel Him near

Chorus:

Here

It’s not far in the distance

Where you are and where you’ll be

You’re standing taller on your knees

He’s hearing all your pleas

I guess this road is a two-way street

Chorus:

EFY 2000 - The Olive Tree

2010-10-25T15:49:00.001-07:00

The Olive Tree

There’s a call that comes to you and me

Strong and clear to share His truth and light

It’s our time to serve and bring new life

To a waiting, waiting world in need

Each new day we’ll nourish with our worlds

Those who seek direction from above

With our hands we’ll share the master’s touch

With our hearts we’ll spread his endless love

Until he comes and the work is done

We’ll labor and we’ll reap

What joy we’ll find this last time

As we serve the king of kings

Heaven’s eyes smile down as we declare

Words of peace so precious and so rare

As we reap with tenderness and care

Truth and hope bless notions everywhere

EFY 2000 - Forward With Faith

2010-10-25T15:45:00.001-07:00

Forward With Faith

Like the sunlight falls on me

Light from heaven lets me see

And when the mists arise to blind my eyes

Then the truth shines upon me and I see

Fear is a lie

Chorus:

Fear is like the clouds that veil earth from the sun

Faith is like the morning rays that break when night is done

And through the fear inside me says that all my hope is gone

Faith in heaven lifts me up and shouts I’ve just begun

And then I sing a song of praise

For the hope within me raised

From the heights above

Faith and hope are mine

The clouds that covered me and kept me down

Are far behind

Chorus:

Believing leads to truth and lights

Fear can turn the day to night

Even in the dark the way is clear

Always follow faith and never fear

Chorus:

EFY 2000 - Amazing Things

2010-10-25T15:41:00.003-07:00

Amazing Things

What would it be like?

To have faith to move a mountain

Faith to walk on water

Such faith I’ve never known

What would it be like?

To ride a chariot of fire

Or to see the God’s very finger

Write upon a stone

What would it be like?

To sleep among the lions

Or to build an ark

While laughter floods my ears

What would it be like?

Facing death to save my nation

Or be betrayed by my own brothers

And not harbor it for years

Faith the size of a seed

Can do amazing things

Amazing things

What would it be like?

To defeat a mighty giant

Or to see the belly of a whale

And live to tell

What would it be like?

Stripped of every last possession

To remain a true and faithful

Servant still

Faith the size of a seed

Can do amazing things

Amazing things

What would it be like?

To behold the Son and Father

Or see visions of what was

And what will be

What will it be like?

If I drink from heaven’s fountain

Having faith to move a mountain

Faith the size of a seed

Can do amazing things

With faith the size of a seed

What will He do through me?

EFY 1999 - When all is said and done

2010-10-17T10:30:00.003-07:00

WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE

When all is said and done
as the season slips away
when I've taken steps beyond my sight
will I find my strenght in greater light
will my courage grow with every passing day
and will my faith be constant as the setting sun
when all is said and done

When all is said and done
and the years have turned to gold
will my life become a legacy
of the things that matter most to me
will the fire of faith burn bright as I grow old
and will I want to be the person I've become
when all is said and done

When all is said and done
when my eyes can finnally see
will I glory in the sweet release
and will mercy fill my soul with peace
will I knell in wonder at the Savior's feet
will I hear him say 'well done'
when he sees who I've become
will I live with him
when all is said and done

EFY 2002 - The way to Emmaus

2010-10-17T10:30:00.001-07:00

THE WAY TO EMMAUS

In the distance I can see storms begin to grow
darkness out ahead,clouds are moving in
tempting winds they blow

answers here answers there answers everywhere
which way do I go? Then a whisper softly comes
I will let you know
and our hearts burn within us like so many years ago
on the way to Emmaus his words of love and hope
and our hearts burn within us as we walk down this road
take the hand of the Prince of Peace to our Father's home

In the still of the soul the quiet of heart
I bow my heart in humility yearning deep reaching far
Pleading with faith for direction
I want to do His will, then a whisper
softly comes
I am with you still

and our hearts burn within us as we walk down this road
in the hand of the Prince of Peace to our Father's home

and our hearts burn within us as we walk down this road
take the hand of the Prince of Peace to our Father's home

EFY 2001 - When all is said and done

When all is said and done

When the music fades into the past
When my days of life are through
What will be remembered of where I've come
When all is said and done

Will they say I loved my family
that I was a faithful friend
that I lived to tell of God's own Son
When all is said and done

How I long to see the hour
When I will hear that trumpet sound
and rise to seee my Savior's face
See Him Smile and say 'wel done'

You can forget my name and the songs I've sung
every rhyne and every tune
but remember the truth of Jesus' love
When all is said and done

EFY 1999 - Distracted

2010-10-17T10:28:00.001-07:00

DISTRACTED

If you could meet me soul to soul
When We are standing face to face
All of my fear would melt away
with only love left in its place

If you could see into my heart
from a forgiving point of view
maybe you would be misled
by all of the awkward things I do

'Cause there's a masterpiece
hidden underneath all imperfection
chisel down to it
let your heart do it
don't be distracted

Sometimes I feel so out of place
when I'm just trying to fit in
will you try to hear what I can say
will you try to see beneath my skin

'Cause there's a masterpiece
hidden underneath all imperfection
chisel down to it
let your heart do it

If you could meet me soul to soul
When We are standing face to face
All of my fear would melt away
with only love left in its place
don't be distracted

EFY 1999 - Fearless heart

2010-10-17T10:27:00.002-07:00

FEARLESS HEART

The war is raging all around me
I'm weary and battle-worn
the forces of the night surround me
threatening to destroy

And the battefield is strewn with broken lives
torn and tattered in the struggle to survive
but I will not be a casualty of this war I didn't start
I'll fight it with a fearless heart

The darkness bids me to surrender
my wakness begs me to retreat
but faith sustains its true defenders
with the promise of relief

Though the battefield is strewnwith broken lives
torn and tattered in the struggle to survive
I will not be a casualty of this war I didn't start
I'll fight it with a fearless heart
fearless heart...
fearless heart...
fearless heart...
fearless heart...

I will not lay my courage down
until the enemy is bound
I will not die

And thought the battefield is strewnwith broken lives
torn and tattered in the struggle to survive
but I will not be a casualty of this war I didn't start
I'll fight it with a fearless heart
fearless heart...
fearless heart...

EFY 1998 - A quiet prayer

2010-10-17T10:27:00.000-07:00

It was simple and fom the heart
A quiet prayer was offered there
before we had to part
the mother kisssed me softly
as she sent me on my way
the school bus picked me up
for my first day
Through the window
I waved goodbye
I saw my mother standing there
and I wanted to cry
but then I started thinking
about that little prayer
asking Him to keep me in His care

I know He loves me
I know He's there
When I am lonley
or feeling scared
be with me Father,
I call His name
I feel his arms around me
He answers me with love
He wacthes over me from up above

And now I'm leaving to testify
Mother holds the tears back
as she kisses me goodbye
I'll serv the Lord with courage
I tell her as I go because a prayer
was answered long ago

EFY 2002 - In His Embrace

2010-10-17T10:26:00.000-07:00

Toes to the water
Sunshine on my face
How did I end up in such a heavenly place?
My smile is immortal
Feels good on my lips
Free of doubt and free of any fear is what this is
How long has it been since I was here

Chorus:
In His embrace
Safe from the cold
I was here all along but my eyes were closed
And I see the light
It lies in me
And I will do whatever it takes
To stay in His embrace

Feet in the quicksand
Moonlight dark and dim
A sad and lonely picture of the place that I was in
But Ive learned a little lesson
From the fury of my past
The times you feel alone are the ones when you forget to ask
For His saving grace
To be

Repeat Chorus:

These arms I cannot see
But they encircle me

Repeat Chorus:

EFY 1997 - TAKING IT HOME WITH ME

2010-09-24T19:25:00.000-07:00

Taking it home with me
Vocal: Efy singers

Living in a world where choice is free
seems hard to make it on my own
at times I need a place where I can feel my heavenly home

walking down the road life offers me
searching for the way to go
at times I make mistakes but that s the way
to learn and grow
learning is for everyone
Especially for youth
somewhere in my heart I know the truth

I know who I am I ll take a stand
for all I beleive
I hope this feeling won t go away
if I let it stay I m taking it home with me

I wonder what tomorow holds for me
in time my story will unfold
what miracles and wonders
we'll see as I grow old
I feel the heavens are not so far away
I know there is a place for me
but now and then I need a friend,someone
to help see

learning is for everyone
Especially for youth
somewhere in my heart I know the truth

I know who I am I ll take a stand
for all I beleive
I hope this feeling won t go away
if I let it stay I m taking it home with me

In this time we share together
with friends we will have forever
and somehow in heart
I feel I'm home

I know who I am I ll take a stand
for all I beleive
I hope this feeling won t go away
if I let it stay I m taking it home with me

I know who I am I ll take a stand
for all I beleive
I hope this feeling won t go away
if I let it stay I m taking it home with me

EFY 1999 - Promises I keep

2010-08-28T13:40:00.000-07:00

If we share this road for a portion of our way
There's something I should tell you in the light of day
Before this goes too far, before I fall too deep
You need to understand about the promises I keep

Because there's strength I want and there's peace I need
In the words I say, in the things I read
From the clothes I wear to the place I choose to sleep
Everything goes back to these promises I keep

It's not that I don't care for you and want to hold you near
When the hour gets late and I say I have to go
Closer to the truth is that I'm honoring the One
Who loves us both more than we know

So you may think I'm wise, or you may think I'm strange
But my mind's made up and my heart won't change
And when the world falls down you can trust in me
Because I trust Him, and there are promises I keep

I trust in Him, and there are promises I keep

EFY 2001 - Beautiful

2010-08-28T13:38:00.000-07:00

Look at all the signs, Look at all the shows
All the glamorous people who claim to know
What perfection is and what makes beauty stay
But when all the styles go out and the labels fade away

It's what you give that makes you beautiful
It's how you live that makes your dreams come true
Keep your faith in this world,
And let the light of the Lord shine through
That's what makes you beautiful

Nothing burns as bright, nothing shimmers so
As the smile of a friend when hope is running low
And how your hand feels warm when you dry a tear
Love is still in fashion at the end of every year

Chorus

Even roses fade away in the snow
But the beauty in your heart can always grow

EFY 2002 - Fullness of Time

2010-08-28T01:02:00.001-07:00

Fullness of Time

Its a chance to change for better
Its a life that lives to tell
When the chance comes
Who will take it?
I will

Chorus:
How long will the world wander
And empty hearts long to find
Come see where the cup runs over
Here in the fullness of times

Its a day of new discovery
Its a time with truth revealed
When the call comes
Who will answer?
I will

Repeat Chorus:

Its been a long time coming
With not much left to go
Its my time to tell it
I want to live to let them know

Repeat Chorus:

EFY 1999 - A season for courage

2010-08-28T00:59:00.000-07:00

A season for courage

Every road is paved with chances
to step up to higher ground
you can see your destination
but the sun is going down

It's a season for courage wherever you are
satnd up a little taller
it's a season for courage, the time is right now
don't you know you just can't lose
all you have to do is choose
it's a season for courage

There isa more than you imagine
locked behind your disbelief
there is magic in beginning
you just take one step
just one small step

It's a season for courage wherever you are
satnd up a little taller
it's a season for courage, the time is right now
don't you know you just can't lose
all you have to do is choose
it's a season for courage
and choose, and choose

Every moment who you want to be
and as the walls come down
you will see the reason
it's a season for courage

It's a season for courage wherever you are
satnd up a little taller
it's a season for courage, the time is right now
don't you know you just can't lose
all you have to do is choose
it's a season for courage

EFY 1999 - I WILL NOT BE STILL

2010-08-28T00:57:00.000-07:00

I WILL NOT BE STILL

VOCAL: KENNETH COPE

I'VE NEVER BEEN THE KIND TO TESTIFY
I DON'T HAVE THE WORDS HIS TRUTH DESERVES
BUT IT'S A SIMPLE THING HE ASKS
A WORTHY HEART AND WILLING HANDS
HE SAYS IF I'LL MAKE THE CHOICE
HE'LL HELP ME FIND MY VOICE

HE CALLS ME TO SERVE AND I CANNOT FAIL HIM
THE ONE WHO HAS GIVEN ALL THAT I HAVE
I PLACEMY TRUST IN HIM ALONE
HE KNOWS THE YEARNINGS OF MY SOUL
BECAUSE HE BELIEVES IN ME
I WILL GO WILLINGLY

HOW CAN I KEEP THIS GIFT TO MYSELF
WHEN I CAN LIFT SOMEBODY ELSE
I AM A WITNESS OF HIS MIRACLES AND HIS MERCY
I PUT MY FUTURE IN HIS HANDS
KNOWING HE'S MADE ME ALL TAHT I AM
WHEN I PUT MY FAITH IN HIM THE TRUTH BEGINS TO SPEAK
HIS POWER IS REAL
IT MOVES ME UNTIL
I WILL NOT BE STILL

LIFTING THE HANDS THAT HANG DOWN IN SORROW
STREGTHENING KNESS THAT BEND IN DESPAIR
REACHING THE HOPELESS HEARTS WHO DO NOT KNOW HIS LOVE
SEEING THEIR LIVES BEGIN TO CHANGE
I KNOW I'LL NEVER BE THE SAME

HIS POWER IS REAL
I TRUST IN HIS WILL
I WILL NOT BE STILL

EFY 2001 - I'LL BE

2010-08-28T00:19:00.000-07:00

Vocal: John Mcvey

Blessed are the meek I told myself as I walked in
with all of my resevations where would I begin
whispering from his wheelchair fighting hard to say
"I've waited here a long time; what will we do today?"

I'll be your hands I'll be your feet
I'll be whatever you need
you"ll that ray of light and hope
when I can't see
we'll pick up all the pieces
when the world falls apart
I can help with what I have
Will (and) you can help me with my heart

I hardly even noticed an hour turned to three
time had burned the boundaries enough for me to see
I was blinded by my own fears 'til finally clued in
and I knew he did not need me as much as I did him

I'll be your hands I'll be your feet
I'll be whatever you need
you"ll that ray of light and hope
when I can't see
we'll pick up all the pieces
when the world falls apart
I can help with what I have
Will (and) you can help me with my heart

And if I ever get the chance to see his smile again
I hope that it's in heaven and I hope that I fit in

EFY 2002 - Come Thou Fount

2010-08-28T00:16:00.001-07:00

Come Thou Fount

Come thou fount of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing thy grace
Streams of mercy, never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise

Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount, Im fixed upon it
Mount of thy redeeming love

O to grace how great the debtor
Daily Im constrained to be
Let thy goodness as a fetter
Bind my wandering heart to thee

Prone to wander Lord I feel it
Prone to leave the God I love
Heres my heart, o tale and seal it
Seal for thy courts above

EFY 1996 - Mercy's arms

2010-08-28T00:13:00.000-07:00

Mercy's arms

Vocal: Marla Bulleigh

The mighty forttrees walls
I have built around my foolish heart
how they crumble and they fall
as I surrender all
to Mercy's Arms

Bathed in holy rain
cleansed from sinner's bitter stain
only love remains
I'm forever changed
by Mercy's Arms
sweet the surrender
sweet the embrace
sweet the forgiveness
to one forever undeserving of his grace
safety encircled
rested and warmed
sweet is the taste of love that awaits
un Mercy's Arms

In the light the life the way
is the key unlocking every chain
sin is lost and freedom gained
the price was paid
by Mercy's Arms

When I reach my journey's end
how I hope that He will call me friend
and reach out for me again
forever spend
in Mercy's Arms

Compositor: Julie de Azevedo

EFY 2000 - A Call I Hear

2010-08-28T00:11:00.001-07:00

A Call I Hear

Se that little hill on the side of the town
Go on up and climb it and turn back around
Catch your breath at miles and miles of fields
And youd feel safe there

And there alone you kneel and you feel indeed
You want to go and help every soul that you see
You want to go and share what you know inside
And show you love them

Out beyond this home so dear
Theres another call I hear
And the river turns to sea
And the stars smile back at me
Little butterflies inside now
And a hope that Ill do well

I remember days when we laughed so hard
We walked along the roads in a country so far
I remember children and sounds in the streets
And we belonged there

And then a broken man in his house one day
He said he wasnt sure if he knew how to pray
Then he tried and said whats in his heart
So pure and easy

Slowly turn around and see
Theres a part of them in me
Now the birds are flying home
Through the hills above the storm
And I know that I should follow
But its hard to say goodbye

And the river turns to sea
And the stars smile back at me
And the butterflies are gone now
But its time to come back home
Im coming back now
Im coming back now
Im coming back now
Im coming home

EFY 2004 - STAND IN THE LIGHT

2010-08-28T00:09:00.000-07:00

STAND IN THE LIGHT

I feel the chill when the shadows grow still
And Im standing too close to the edge
But nothing to ground me
The world swirls around me
Im lost in the mist of despair
I need to run to the light of the sun
Till the warmth of its rays on my face
I need to walk with my feet on the rock
And my heart lifted up in his grace

I will stand in the light
Look to the dawn as it breaks through the night
With courage and strength
I will stand in my place
With the flame of my faith burning bright
I will stand in the light
Hold up the truth
And stand for the right
I can reach so much higher
Im filled with the fire
When I stand
Stand in the light

Steady and still like a light on a hill
It shines for the whole world to see
Chasing the dark washing over my heart
Changing what I want to beat
I feel a brook flooding into my soul
Its river of truth falls through me
Filling me up with conviction enough
To live what I truly believe

EFY 2002 - Fertile Soil

2010-08-28T00:03:00.005-07:00

Fertile Soil

A heart thats open
A simple seed
The word from heaven
Planted in me
As I hope and wait
For things unseen
My desire gives place
For believing

Through the eyes of my faith
I watch and I wait
And tend to the fertile soil of my heart
And the light shines on me
Given light to the seed
Deep in the fertile soil of my heart

Pure and delicious
Precious and sweet
Life everlasting
The fruit of this tree
And I know the seed
Is good and true
Its alive in me
And its taking root

Through the eyes of my faith
I watch and I wait
And tend to the fertile soil of my heart
Living water in me
Gives life to the seed
Deep in the fertile soil of my heart
For the fruit that will be
I will nourish the tree
That spring from the fertile soil
Of my heart

EFY 2003 - It Passes All My Understanding :

2010-08-28T00:01:00.000-07:00

It Passes All My Understanding :

I was sitting on a southbound plane,
I was buried in a magazine
When the man in the next seat over
Wanted to talk to me
He talked about the universe,
He talked about Saturn's rings
He said, "I might be an atheist,
Except for just one thing:

It passes all my understanding
How it all worked out just right
The distance that we live from the sun,
The stars that shine at night
We may prove that it was just an accident
But how did it begin?
It passes all my understanding"

I told him, "You are a scholar;
You know things that I don't know
But I believe a God in heaven
Made everything below
And I know we are his children;
I've known it since I was two
But when it comes to being struck with awe,
I'm just like you

It passes all my understanding,
All the beauty we have here
From the majesty of the canyons
To a tiny baby's ear
And even when I can't believe it,
He still believes in me
It passes all my understanding"

We watched the sun set through the clouds
In a tiny little airplane window
With people sleeping all around
And I thought of how we just expect this world to be
And when the flight attendant passed me by
I threw away my magazine

It passes all my understanding,
Tat the Lord knows both our names
And that He made this world for everyone
That was sitting on that plane
And in spite of all of man's distractions
He offers us His peace
That passes all my understanding

EFY 2002 - Stand in Holy Places

2010-08-27T23:59:00.001-07:00

Stand in Holy Places

In a sea shifting values
Tossed on every wave
While the winds wail around me
I will not be afraid
To call out for my captain
To calm the waves in me
When I stand a little taller
Its only then I finally see

Chorus:
I stand in holy places
Protected from the storm
Anchored safe in harbor
Tough my sails are ripped and worn
I stand in holy places
And I will not move
Until the Lord has come
And says Well done
He is the hope I hold on to
In holy places

There is a harbor in His holy house
An anchor in His grace
That steadies in the waves of doubt
And in every holy places
No matter where I travel
His spirits guiding me
With the Lord as my captain
There is a peaceful port in me

Repeat Chorus:

EFY 2004 - CHILD OF LIGHT

2010-08-27T23:57:00.000-07:00

CHILD OF LIGHT
Mindy Gledhill

Did you ever wonder who you are
do your ever wonder as you stare into the stars
Where you began
And how you got this far
from home?

Have you ever walked along the shore
Have you ever seen the water dancing back and forth
Did you look inside
To see if there was more to life

There’s a dream taking wings
There’s a voice that wants to sing
Even in the deepest darkest night
The Torch is raised to the sky
There are hands that hold it high
You were born to keep it burning bright
You were made to fly you were meant to shine
Child of light

You will never ever stand alone
You were never called to bare your burdens alone
Where there’s fear
Love will take control
And lead you on

There’s a dream taking wings
There’s a voice that wants to sing
Even in the deepest darkest night
The Torch is raised to the sky
There are hands that hold it high
You were born to keep it burning bright
You were made to fly you were meant to shine
Child of light

There’s a dream taking wings
There’s a voice that wants to sing
Even in the deepest darkest night
The Torch is raised to the sky
There are hands that hold it high
You were born to keep it burning bright
You were made to fly you were meant to shine
Child of light

EFY 2000 - Her Garden

2010-08-27T23:53:00.001-07:00

Like Eve, women of faith carefully nurture their surroundings

She moves her hand along the ground
Beneath her fingers silent sounds
Of living seeds finding their way
Through fertile soil to light the day

Then as the sky rains heavens glow
She toils at weeds that seeds may grow
And she is sure beneath the earth
Her tiny seeds will find rebirth

In every task she undertakes
She cultivates a seed of faith
Within her garden grows a world
For shes no more a little girl

And with each down she understands
Why heavens love gave her the land
For now her offspring in full bloom
Embrace the earth creating too

In earths expanse shell never know
The endless seeds her life has sown
Yet love still blossoms by her hand
She loves her life
She loves the land

She loves her life
She loves the land

EFY 2000 - Safe Inside

I can see the storms come round sometimes
In the summer and they fill up the sky
I can hear the wind blow trough my door
Watch the trees as they sway back and forth
But Im safe inside
Of my house each time

I remember out beyond the cape
Theres a harbor where you go to be safe
See the many boats upon the tide
In this weather, theyre safe there inside
And its calm enough
And the waters rough
But when the winds are gone
Help this boat stay strong

So go and see them come for miles
To feel this way a little while
Taking this time, laughing a lot
Thinking of all the things youve got
Hope for tomorrow, tomorrows in place
And as for us here, well go in faith

I can sing our song in time
So many voices here like mine
End of the day, so far from home
All of a sudden Im on my own
Bird on a wire, ship on the sea
Still I can know Hes watching me

And Im heading home
But Ive never felt so sure now
Theres something strong here
And I will take it home

EFY 2009 - You Can Change

(Lowell Alexander/Tyler Castleton)

There are days

You stumble and you fall

And sometimes through it all

You think you'll never stand again

There are times

When choices weigh you down

And bend you to the ground

That's a place that we've all been … but

(Chorus)

You can change

You can turn your heart around

A brand new start can be found

If you'll only take one step

You can change

Wrap your mistakes in a cocoon

And let them die

And emerge a butterfly

You can change

Now it's time

To finally spread your wings

And soar to higher things

You know the limit is the sky

As you go

If you sometimes fail

When your spirit's frail

Remember you were meant to fly

(Chorus)

You can change

Wrap your mistakes in a cocoon

And let them die

And emerge a butterfly

2010-08-27T23:46:00.000-07:00

EFY 2004 - One Voice
I am just one voice
But one voice can still be heard
I have made the choice to seal my witness with my word
Changed by holy fire, that has burned into my soul
Filled with new desire, that calls me down to go

I am just one voice, but one voice can carry far
Rising through the noise, of a world so deaf and dark
Shining bright and clear, to those with eyes to see
Honest hearts will hear, the truth that lives in me

CHORUS
One but not alone, a thousand voices sing
Praises at the throne, of our master and our king
With one voice
One voice

I am just one voice,
But a voice of light and hope
Grateful I rejoice as I share the gifts I hold
I will search with all my strength, for the humble and the meek
Praying, they'll receive the simple truth I speak

CHORUS
One but not alone, a thousand voices sing
Praises at the throne, of our master and our king
With one voice
One voice

He was just one voice, but one voice that changed the earth
Teaching love and peace to a lost and weary world

I am just one voice, but one voice that will be heard
I have made the choice to seal my witness with my word
