Mary’s Christmas
Gabriel came down from heaven to see a Nazarene
A virgin, favored and troubled by the angel she did see
He said “Mary, Mary, are you listening to me?
I’ve got some information for you.”
You’re going to be the mother of the Son, of the Son of God
Bethlehem, humble beginnings with a manger for a bed
Lay Jesus, king and a savior with no crown upon his head
Mary, Mary are you listening to me
Angels are smiling down upon you
He is Emmanuel the only Son, only Son of God
To shepherds watching their flocks by night an angel did appear
And with the news came praises from heaven for everyone to hear
And they sang “Glory to God, Glory to God in the highest” X4
Jesus came down from heaven to be a Nazarene
The Savior, Messiah and the first one to believe was Mary
All The Things I’m Not
I’m looking over my shoulder
I’m winning races that never could be won
I’m crossing over these borders
I’m singing verses that never have been sung
All these beautiful things cause you’re chasing me
All these wonderful things cause you’re making me
When I’m losing direction and losing a lot
You help me become all the things I’m not
I’ve been out looking for answers
I’m climbing mountains to see what I can see
Why do I need to go higher?
It seems that everything’s clearer on my knees
All these beautiful things cause you’re chasing me
All these wonderful things cause you’re making me
When I’m losing direction and losing a lot
You help me become all the things I’m not
Am I pushing my luck?
Am I messing this up?
Am I losing control, or am I saving my soul?

Love In Action
I’ve got a new love; it’s got me spinning like a wheel
And I can’t tell you the way it makes me feel
I’ve got a lot of reasons to walk away
But none are more compelling than the one that makes me want to stay
And this is just my satisfaction, for You to see my love in action
I heard You calling, I heard You calling out my name
But I was blinded to the fact I’d never be the same
When tears are falling, when tears are falling down like rain
Why won’t You bend, break me, make me want to be the change
And this is just my satisfaction, for You to see my love in action
I’ve got a new love; it’s got me spinning like a wheel
And I can’t tell you the way it makes me feel
And this is just my satisfaction
Not a big overreaction
You can see my love in action
And I can’t tell you the way it makes me feel

Patience of Job
I may not comprehend why my life is a mess
Is it plain bad luck, a curse or a test?
And try as I might, to compile lists of blame
After many attempts, I can’t get past my name
So I will wait here, with the patience of Job
Til I become what You want me to be
You can test me, but I’ll surely shine through
Cause I’m never really shining alone
No I’m never really shining alone
I’ve been swimming too long in a criminal sea
Slowly drowning myself in my own apathy
While I’m missing the point, what this life’s all about
While I’m taking it in, should be giving it out
So I will wait here, with the patience of Job
Til I become what You want me to be
You can test me, but I’ll surely shine through
Cause I’m never really shining alone
No I’m never really shining alone
Oh, can’t you see it shine; can’t you feel it rise up inside of you?
Though it may take a while, I’m going to see You’re smiling face
So I will wait here, with the patience of Job
Til I become what You want me to be
You can test me, but I’ll surely shine through
Cause I’m never really shining alone
No I’m never really shining alone
