The day i was born
Felt like leaving home
Into this great night
We all walk alone
Once I did know
A light in my soul
Within the unknown
Calling me home
Light of God
God of Light
Emmanuel
Heaven within
Heaven without
Emmanuel
So black the sea
So dark the night
Starless the sky
And starless my eyes
Without your light
I called into the night
Lord why don't you stay
And I heard from the silence
I am with you always
In the light of your faith
And I opened
And heaven’s light came out
Light of God
God of Light
Emmanuel
Heaven within
Heaven without
Emmanuel

Wandering down the crooked road
I saw the Spirit like a dove
She sang a song I'd not yet heard
She called me out to see the world
What are you looking for?
What are you looking for?
I wonder when the time will come
I pray for fire like the dawn
to burn away my coward thoughts
until I find my child heart
I saw all my hopes get crushed
beneath the weight of wickedness
so blow the ashes till they're lost
unearth the treasures I forgot
What am I living for?
What am I living for?
I wonder when my time will come
I wonder, I wonder
I wonder when my time will come
I wonder, I wonder
What am I dying for?
What am I living for?
What am I waiting for?
What am I looking for?
I wonder when my time will come
I wonder, I wonder
I wonder when my time will come
I wonder, I wonder

Woke up in darkness
Shadow’s only company
In the day of trouble
Alone and afraid
Swept out to sea
Shelter’s but a memory
Waters all around us
Chaos and Monsters
We have seen a great light
As the sun dawns in the sky
You lift us, up from death
Set us up on a rock, we will sing
With sister joy
brother mercy
Spotlights emerging
Even in the thick black air
Light reaching forward
Come follow me there
Searching for answers
You give me a question
Who are you?
Where are you going?
We have seen a great light
As the sun dawns in the sky
You lift us, up from death
Set us up on a rock, we will sing
With sister joy
brother mercy
You said to us
Come follow
Come follow
The light has dawned
For you
For me

Do Justice, Love mercy
Walk humbly with your God
Live righteous, Be faithful
O mortal what is good?
Fear nothing, Love bravely
Blessed are the poor in spirit, they shall have the reign of the divine
Blessed are the ones who mourn, they will know the comfort of God’s love
What does love require of you?
Do Justice, Love mercy
Walk humbly with your God
Live righteous, Be faithful
O mortal what is good?
Fear nothing, Love bravely
Blessed are the humble hearted, they have all the things you cannot buy
Blessed are the pure in heart, they will see the dreams of our God.
What does love require of you?
Do Justice, Love mercy
Walk humbly with your God
(What does love require of you?)
Dream wildly, Shine brightly
Sow God’s joy in all the earth
(What does love require of you?)
Live simply, Breathe easy
Seek God’s goodness in your life
(What does love require of you?)
Love the hated, Lift the lowly
Speak God’s truth to those in power
(What does love require of you?)
Give refuge, Know the other
Sing God’s peace into all hate
(What does love require of you?)
Fear nothing, Love bravely

Oh lord we long for your light
Oh lord we long for your light
Let the oppressed go free
Let the hungry be filled with good things
Let the thirsty be satisfied
Oh lord go before us be our guide
Oh lord we long for your light
Oh lord we long for your light
Break forth into our hearts like the dawn
Rise in the darkness lord we’ve waited for so long
Teach us now to see the hungry in our lives
And not to hide
Not to hide
Oh lord we long for your light
Oh lord we long for your light
Declare to us our sins
Repair our broken walls, rebuild us from within
Restore our streets and raise up what we’ve lost
Oh lord
Oh lord
Oh lord we long for your light
Oh lord we long for your light

Happy are those who are blameless
And who walk in the way of the Lord
Happy are those who have chosen
To be found in the light of his word
Though I wander as I journey
Still his eyes are on my path
God brings life to all
who turn to him
And he leads us safely home
Happy are those who are hopeful
And who trust in the love of the Lord
Who find their strength in God's goodness
And whose light can never be dulled
Though I wander as I journey
Still her light is on my path
God brings life to all
who trust in her
And she leads us safely home
Happy are those who are humble
And who lean on the grace of the Lord
Seeking with all of their hearts
Choosing life and being restored

You said that we should turn the other cheek
You said the earth’s the birthright of the meek
You said your strength is perfect when we are weak
And your grace would be enough
To show the world the power of love
But when we look around it seems the righteous
Are daily losing ground to the unjust
We’re doing all we can to keep believing
But holding out for love has left us bleeding
You told us to forgive
You showed us how to love
But we cause each other so much pain
How can that be enough?
You said you bring not peace but the sword
The rebel and the zealot call you Lord
You told us that violent take your kingdom by force
And those who love you need not fear the grave
Because your name has power to save
But when the soldiers came you did not resist them
And when we tried to fight, you said “forgive them”
Silently you went like a lamb to the slaughter
And we watched your heart break, abandoned by your Father
But even in your pain, you said “forgive them”
And even in your death, you said “forgive them”
Even in your pain, you said “forgive them”
And even in your death, you said “forgive them”
You told us to forgive
You showed us how to love
But we cause each other so much pain
How can that be enough?
(repeat)
Can we learn to turn the other cheek?
Can we have the patience of the meek?
Will your strength be perfect when we are weak?
Is your grace still enough
To show the world the power of love?

The mountain seems cruel, the path scars your feet
And the lights have gone out and the darkness is deep
If reaching the peak is worthwhile in the end
Why are your bones so weak, why won’t your wounds mend
At the ends of the earth
Though you can’t crawl any higher
For whatever it’s worth
Carry the fire, carry the fire
You give it your all, do what you can
You see all the ghosts, where the story began
Then everything’s changed, the light from within
Is covered in cloud, your sight is too dim
At the ends of the earth
Though you can’t crawl any higher
For whatever it’s worth
Carry the fire, carry the fire
There’s a voice in the dark, a stone in the ground
A devouring fire, a glittering cloud
A figure transformed, a secret unsaid
A star in the east, a mountain ahead
At the ends of the earth
Though you can’t crawl any higher
For whatever it’s worth
Carry the fire, carry the fire

The star shines bright
We must pack light
Become a fool
to become wise
In the dark
There lives a spark
In the dark
There lives a spark
Follow the star
Bright in sky
To light our path
With hope and joy
Set out on foot
To find a boy
Bring finest gifts
receive his joy
In the dark
There lives a spark
In the dark
There lives a spark
Follow the star
Bright in sky
To light our path
With hope and joy
You shine so bright
You shine so bright
You shine so bright
You shine so bright
