The Great Adventure lyrics

Well normally at this point,You'd hear me singin and

I'd be doin that cue stick guitar thingSo by now yer prob'ly wondrin

What's goin on cause this is really startin to sound like one of those rap songs

so let me tell ya what the boys up to, ya see I like rap music

and the beat box groove but sometimes i gotta admit
I close all the doors, I wave my arms around and I face the floor

I can still feel the prayers you prayed for me all those years
And I see now more than ever what a difference they have made
And I can still hear your words spoken from a heart of great concern
Saying keep your eyes on Jesus and love Him more than anything
And I've watched the wind blow hard against you
And I've seen your faith get weakened by the pain

I prayed a prayer for wisdom just like a farmer prays for rain

'Cause I know that I must have it to survive in this life

And I stared out in the distance 'cause it seemed so far away

And I waited for the lightning But the lightning and the thunder never came
So I took a look beside me to my left and to my right And saw people full of wisdom all around in my life

Jimmy and Mary were quite a pair back in their younger days

They met a married in six weeks time and

That was sixty years ago this May

Four kids made a house a home and a love for Jesus kept them strong
Now every morning at eight A.M. Jimmy takes a drive through town

He spends his days at Mary's side In a home for the old and broken down

There a hole the size of a cruel word In a wounded heart somewhere that's learning to hide the pain

There's a thorn stuck in the conscience of Someone who spoke a word in anger

And they can't wash away the stain, sorry's such a hard word to say

CHORUS

But while it's still called today, won't somebody make it right

Before the day slips into night and the moments waste away

Maria
She's too young to understand
But old enough to feel the pain
Of living where no love can grow
With no hope for change
Maria
Her world is an angry place
But she makes sure the scars don't show
And with every hurt
Her tender heart is growing cold, but...

Who, who's gonna love Maria?
Who, who's gonna touch her
With the tenderness she longs for
Like a desert longs for rain

(saddle up your horses)

Started out this morning in the usual way
Chasing thoughts inside my head
I thought I had to do today
Another time around the circle
Try to make it better than the last
I opened up the Bible
And I read about me
Said I'd been a prisoner
And God's Grace had set me free
And somewhere between the pages,
It hit me like a lightning bolt

I know you've heard me say
These words before
But every time I say "I love you"
The words mean something more
I spoke them as a promise
Right from the start
I said death would be the only thing
That could tear us apart

And now that you are standing
On the edge of the unknown
"I love you" means I'll be with you
Wherever you must go

I will take a heart as nature

A gentle breeze was blowing

The air was heavenly sweet - life was so complete

In a picture perfect garden

While the sun went down you could hear the sound
Of a man and woman crying - saying what have we done

We made our choice and now we're dying

And we've got to leave this place and hide from God's face but this is

CHORUS

This is my heart's cry

I want to know the one who saved me and gave me life

This is my heart's cry to be so close to Him that all my life becomes
A testimony of my Savior's grace and love

This is my heart's cry

This is my heart's cry

Much more than just a great desire - it's like a fire in me

I hear my heart cry each time I think about the cross where Jesus died
