Cross My Heart
Words: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
Music: michael w. smith
Ink and paper, epic offers
Glass moon waltzing on the waters
Horse and carriage
I am courting the marriage
Of dreams in the wings
Of visions unseen
Chorus:
Cross my heart
Only your love will do
Cross my heart over you
Cross my heart
There is room enough for two
Cross my heart over you, over you
Inside, feels like theres a thunder
Spellbound, youve take me under
Gold and diamond
Ever saying that Im in this forevermore
You can be sure

Go West Young Man

Im blazing a trail that leads to vice
So easily enticed
By darker means
When out of the wilderness of choice
I hear that one still voice
Call to me
Chorus:
Go west young man
Go west young man
When the evil go east
Go west young man
Go west young man
Find a heart thats golden
Why must I wander like a cloud
Following the crowd
Well I dont know
But Im asking for the will to fight
To wear the crown of life
And you say go

The mind is weak the heart is frail
When it goes beyond the pale
So unwise

Waiting to be filled

Looking for a reason
Roaming through the night to find

Down on their knees

Can you still hear me
Hear me asking
Where do I belong
Is there a vision
That I can call my own
Show me im

For You
Words: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
Music: michael w. smith
Sittin in the rain
Water on your brain
Got a hole in your boat
Trying to stay afloat
Has got you down
Ive got a wind in my sail
Rubber boots and a pail
Ill throw you a line
Rest assured that i
Wont ever let you drown
Chorus:
cause when youre up against the wall
You know Ill be here for you, for you
When you rise and when you fall
Ill always be here for you, for you
When the plans you make
Fall through and take you
For a loop
Or some bird has flown the coop
And left you stranded
Just lean on me
And together you see
Well carry the load
Even if we dont
Quite understand it

Anna
Michael w. smith/ wayne kirkpatrick
Jack is in the corner
The dish is with the spoon
The sheep is in the meadow
The cow is on the moon
But I am here with you and I believe
Theres no other place Id rather be
And a promise not to leave you
Is a promise I can keep
Youre my muse
Youre my rhyme
Youre the fire warming this heart of mine
When you hear me say I love you
Anna, do you know how much I do?
So I watch you from a distance
Getting lost within your world
You pretend to be a princess
As you flutter and you twirl
Fragile as the flower in your hair
Dancing in your castle, unaware
That a single day without you
Would be more than I could bear
Little anna, little star
That is what you really are
Cross my heart and hope to die
Youre the apple of my eye

You're Alright
Words & music:michael w. smith, wayne kirkpatrick, and chris rodrigues
You're alright
You take a look inside
But you don't like what you see
And so you choose to look away
It doesn't coincide
With how you'd like to be
And each glimpse of hope can easily fade
Chorus:
Down on your confidence
It's a fight that won't let go
(but) you've got to realize
That you're alright
('cause) under your rubble
Lies a heart the father holds
And when you see your life
Thru his eyes
You're alright
To learn how he loves you
Is to learn to love yourself
To live the life he's livin' in you
(and) what others think of you
Could never measure to the wealth
Of what he's paid and given to you

Breathe In Me
Words & music: michael w. smith & wayne kirkpatrick
You breathe in me
And i'm alive
With the power of your holiness
You breathe in me
And you revive
Feelings in my soul
That i have laid to rest
Chorus:
So breathe in me
I need you now
I've never felt so dead within
So breathe in me
Maybe somehow
You can breathe new life
In me again
I used to be
So sensitive
To the light that leads
To where you are
Now i've acquired
These callouses
With the darkness of
A cold and jaded heart

Somewhere Somehow
Michael w. smith / david foster / wayne kirkpatrick / amy grant
Standing in our silence
I hear my heart beating
And if only I could choose
Id stay here with you
But hold me til the train is leaving
Somewhere down the line
After youre gone from sight
Our love will be the same
And, whispering your name,
Ill cling to you with all my might
Let me dream of you
But its true
And wake me up when this is over
Love will be there when this is over and
Chorus:
Somewhere far beyond today
I will find a way to find you
And somehow thru the lonely nights
I will leave a light in the dark
Let it lead you to my heart
Theres a love inside us
Deep down inside
That goes without saying
Dont say a word
But Ill tell you just the same
And that love will fan the flame
And that flame will warm the heart thats waiting
You are mine and Ill wait for you my love
You are mine it may take some time
Even if it takes a lifetime
Tell me youll wait
Chorus
Bridge:
And somewhere alone
I will be praying you home
I know that somehow our love
Our love will lead me to your arms

Seed To Sow

Chorus: (in lugandan)
Kimu nkimaanyi
Buli muntu alina ensiigo
Omutima gwo gukulung aamye
Buli muntu alina ensiigo
Some people quietly reveal
In the manner of the meek
Some people shout the way they feel
To a radical degree
Some people sing it to express
While others hear another call
Some people speak with subtleness
Some dont rely on words at all
But let me tell you bout...
Chorus one thing I know
Everybodys got a seed to sow
Let your heart of hearts
Take you down the road
Everybodys got a seed to sow
We all are pieces of the whole
With different feelings to evoke
Giving distinction to the role
Different players-different strokes
But let me tell you bout...
Chorus
Some people walk
Some people race
Some people vary in their pace
But God can use what you can give
Within the mystery of his ways
Dont underestimate...

Voices
Words & music: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
Follow the footsteps
Or travel down your own road
Designing your fate
Hear what your heart says
Still you decide which way to go
Your lifes an open gate
Chorus:
le bon et le mal
These are the voices
We nous somme liberti
We make the choices
Echoes of laughter
Dancing in distant corridors
With the tears of hearts undone
Dreams we chase after
Give us the key to any door
We are what we become
Chorus
Holding and reaching
We face the calm, we face the fear
As we learn to win and lose
Voices are speaking
Still we hear what we want to hear
Our life is ours to choose

Poem: Song to the Holy Cross
The cross of love:
The cross I love:
The cross I'd loved all life;
The wooden cross:
The holy cross:
The cross that bore man's strife.
The oaken cross:
The heavy cross:
The cross Jesus carried;
The cross on which
Christ Lord was nailed:
And bore man's sins indeed.
The cross of death:
The blood-stained cross:
The Savior, man, redeemed;
The cross of life's
Victory o'er death:
That souls on earth must heed.

I'd Cross a Fire
I'd Cross a Fire
I'd Cross a Fire,
To move heaven and earth to keep you by my side!
I'd Cross a Fire,
To climb to a mountain top to shout I love you!
I'd Cross a Fire,
To swim the deepest ocean to see the smile on you!
I'd Cross a Fire,
To walk a thousand miles just to see you!
I'd Cross a Fire,
To keep your love forever in my heart
I'd Cross a Fire,
To keep us bonded together never apart!

Somebody Love Me
Michael w. smith / wayne kirkpatrick
Counting every moment
Biding all my time
Standing out here on my own
Searching for that someone
To heal this heart of mine
And keep me from being alone
But when will it be
And how will I know
I dont want to wait here forever
Chorus:
Somebody love me
Come and carry me away
Somebody need me
To be the blue in their grey
Somebody want me
The way Ive always dreamed it could be
Wont somebody love me, love me
Im waiting for somebody
To dance across the floor
Sweeping me off of my feet
Im looking for the right one
To open up that door
And offer me a tender retreat
Its like wanting to sing
But needing a song
When will I hear the music playing

I Cross My Heart
I cross my heart
Our love is unconditional
We knew it from the start
I can see it in your eyes
You can feel it from my heart>from here on after
Lets stay the way we are right now
And share all the love and laughter
That a lifetime will allow
Chorus:
I cross my heart
And promise to
Give all Ive got to give
To make all your dreams come true
In all the world
Youll never find
A love as true as mine
You will always be the miracle
That makes my life complete
And as long as theres still breath in me
Ill make yours just as sweet
As we look into the future
Its as far as we can see
So lets make each tomorrow
Be the best that it can be

And if along the way we find a day
It starts to storm
Youve got the promise of my love
To keep you warm

Music: michael w. smith
Brother, havent you noticed
Theres a war on the soul of man
Hey there, sister
The world is reaching
It could use a helping hand
So come on
No dues are needed
Just a kind heart will be enough
Theres a hunger
But you can feed it
Sign the card and join the club

We are drawing from an ancient solution
Were embarking on a new regime
We are calling for a new revolution
Be part of the parade
Get on the love crusade

Get together
Do him a favor
Give your love to someone else

Just a little sets the wheels in motion
A little more and we could change the world
You can shine a light if you have the notion
So get out of the shade
Get on the love crusade
Chorus
Rap:
Come on everyone
Theres a lot that can be done
A little love can go a long, long way
So rise to the occasion
Of a radical invasion
(hey) dont let the world go down in flames
Fight the fire with a fire
Push it to the limit
And be a renegade
Light a fuse-make a spark
Try to penetrate a heart
Theres a burning need to fill the world with love
Love is kind, love is sound
It makes the world go round
So it keep it turning
There could never be enough
Hatredll spoil the feast
Thats the nature of the beast
So dont ever let your heart be swayed
Draw the sword, slay the dragon
Get on the bandwagon
And be a fighter on the love crusade

The Last Letter
Words & music: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
Sitting alone up in your empty room
In the stillness of the night
Where all the many dreams that used to carry you
Are no longer in sight
You put your feelings down in black and white
A sad, disturbing reply
That you dont really want to face another night
So youre saying goodbye
But do you know that youre saying goodbye
To a lifetime
Chorus:
Well, Ive got to tell you theres another way
To be free to be complete
But, youve got to make it thru another day
And deny your own defeat (dont give in)
And Im here to tell you theres another way
To consume a hungry heart
All the love you need is just a prayer away
Let it in to where you are
Youve made it to the edge of seventeen
Thinking now youve reached the end of the line
But theres so much of life that you have never seen
Now you wont have the time
You say that you dont hear the music play
So youre ready to give up the dance
Now that nothing really matters anyway
Oh, you give up your chance
But do you know that you give up your chance
At a lifetime
Chorus:
Well, Ive got to tell you theres another way
To be free--to be complete
But youve got to make it thru another day
And deny your own defeat (dont give in)
And Im here to tell you theres another way
To consume a hungry heart
Jesus is waiting just a prayer away
Let him in to where you are
You put your feelings down in black and white
A sad, disturbing reply
That you dont really want to face another night
So youre saying goodbye
But do you know that youre saying goodbye
To a lifetime

Old Enough To Know

In the passion your heart is abused
He is pushing you, you have to choose
Oh, rebecca love is never
Easy anymore
Oh, rebecca so afraid of
Losing what is yours
Chorus:
Are you giving in to the pressure
Holding you again, now he tells you
What it takes to be in love
He believes youre old enough
But how you gonna feel tomorrow
When the day reveals
What you believed was for the sake of love
Dont you think youre old enough to know
Youre a breed of few and far between
Holding on to your romantic dream
Oh, rebecca, love is patient
Love would understand
Oh, rebecca, your decision
Is your only chance

With what some say love should be
Should be...

Cross Of Thorns
Dont come closer, cos it aint safe here,
Just turn around now and walk away.
Ive gotta tell you, there are no rules here,
Sometimes I wonder, what goes on there,
Behind those-eyes.
Chorus:
When a promise is broken, and no one trusts you,
Young ones crying with their heads in their hands,
When you talk about saving, the souls of the faithful,
You cant help thinking, youve got blood on your
Hands.
From a cross of thorns.
Tongues of fire always talking, wasted words that
Ring in my ears.
Were still waiting, losing patience, will all the
Lies of, 400 houndred years.
Ive got to tell you, there are no rules here,
Sometimes I wonder, what goes on there,
Behind those-eyes.
Chorus
We gave you yesterday, and now you want to-day,
Oh, from the hands of death we take our daily bread,
Now all we do is choke, and the words that you once
Spoke, fade away.
Look at what youve done, oh, its a cross of thorns.
Take away, this cross of thorns, look at what youve
Done.
Its a cross of thorns, cross of thorns.
When a promise is broken, and no one trusts you,
Youve got blood on your hands, from a cross of
Thorns.

The Other Side Of Me
Words & music: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
If they were to write about
The story of my life
They would have to mention you
With every page they'd write
There's another side to every story told
If i were the ocean
You would be the shore
And one without the other one
Would be needing something more
We are the shadow and the light
Chorus:
Always love me
(and) never leave me now
(and) now you are the other side of me
Always love me
(and) never leave me now
(and) now you are the other side of me
I have known the emptiness
Of feeling out of touch
And living life without you here
Would be living half as much
Cause i've a need that only you can fill
If love was mathematical
You'd understand the sum
To the heart's equation
Where one and one makes one
And lonely equals me minus you

To Love A Woman
(ian hunter)
To love a woman
Lost and lonely through the night
My baby doesnt hear me right
Cross my heart and hope to die
The words wont come although I try
Its there beneath me deep and strong
And when I speak it sounds so wrong
Oh cross my heart and hope to die
Ill never know the reason why
You and I were so in love
And if the sun wont shine
Ill be warm enough for the both of us
To love a woman
To love a woman
To love a woman
To love a woman
Sometimes when Im away from you
I love you more you know its true
Oh cross my heart and hope to die
This loneliness is good sometimes
And youll return smile over me
And I still cant say whats plain to see
But cross my heart and hope to die
Youll never know how hard I try
You and I we fell in love
And if the sun wont shine
Ill be warm enough for the both of us
To love a woman
To love a woman
To love a woman
To love a woman
To love a woman
To love a woman
To love a woman
To love a woman
Loving a woman like you aint hard to do
You know it happens all the time
To love a woman another woman
To love a woman aint never been hard
(cross my heart and hope to die)
To love a woman
To love a woman
To love a woman
To love a woman
To love a woman
To love a woman
To love a woman
So Ill go on through this night
Wishing the words to come out right
Cross my heart and hope to die
This stubborn tongues gonna make me cry
Just accept me as I am
Understand Im a quiet man
Cross my heart and hope to die
I dread the day you say goodbye
You and I we fell in love
And if the sun wont shine
Ill be warm enough for the both of us
To love a woman
To love a woman
To love a woman
To love a woman
To love a woman
