Deep in a land made of man's toil and trouble, where I fight for my life,
I've found an island of refuge to run to, to escape from the strife,
When tempters arise to destroy me,
when life is much more than one heart can take,
there is someone who protects me.

Living under your wings of love,
Safe in the arms of the mighty God,
Living under your wings of love,

You spoke the words and all the words came into order
You waved your hands and planets filled the empty skies
You placed the woman and the man inside the garden
And though they fell they found compassion in your eyes

Bridge:
Oh Lord I stand amazed at the wonder of your deeds
and yet a greater wonder brings me to my knees

Chorus:
Lord I praise you, because of who you are

In my house there's been a mercy killing.
The man I used to be has been crucified.
And the death of this man was the final way of revealing,
In the spiritual way to live, I had to die.
Now if I let that dead man linger in me,
I might get a little idle in my way.
So, I'm going down to the celebration river,
And take this dead man down to a water grave.

Chorus:
I'm goin' down to the river.

Sail on
When the water gets high
Sail on
When the wind starts to die
Sail on
It's just a matter of minutes
Till His ship comes to get us
And we'll all get in it

When we're all born
We set out to sea
Looking for answers continuously
Then when we find out
To Him we belong
We watch for the signs
And keep sailing on

(chorus)

Cast up your sails
And let the wind blow
Jesus will never

Well there are people
Never receiving
Anything from God at all
Oh, they are shaken
From their believing
When they don't see results
They quickly fall

But don't you waver
Keep on living
In the way God wants you to
Don't get discouraged
Keep on giving
Soon it will come back to you

Chorus:
Keep on casting
Your bread upon the water
Soon it's gonna come back home on every wave
Keep on casting

I got another phone call, a caring friend or two,
They say they have the answers for what I'm going through,
But they don't understand that their ways just won't work for me,
I've got a Lord, who knows my heart, and meets my every need.

Chorus:
Yes Lord, I'd rather believe in You. Yes Lord I'd rather believe in You.
You've always kept your promises, Your Love has never failed.

I listen to the Trumpet of Jesus
While the world hears a different sound
I march to the drumbeat of God Almighty
While the others just wander around
I'm a member of the Holy Ghost traveling band
We're moving on up to a better land
I hear the voice of a Supernatural Singer
Like only those who know Him can

(verse 1:)
One sweet sound makes
A whole world of difference

Chorus:
As long as there is time, and one breath left in me
There will always be one more song for You
And as long as there is room for one more voice in praise
And a need for a word of love and truth, to help my brother through
There'll be one more song for You

You were there with your songs of laughter, words of hope for my fears
But what are songs when no one else will sing them,

From the start You've held a place in my heart
A place that no one else could fill
But sin kept Your spirit from working in me
I couldn't look at life honestly
Until the day my will gave away to the truth that I found in you
I never knew just how good it could be
To stand in Your presence totally free
Now.

I'm forgiven
Now I have a reason for living
Jesus keeps giving and giving

I stood and watched an eagle fly
Spread his wings and soar across the sky
So gracefully he flew
Rising effortlessly
I wanted to know just how to be free

Tiny fingers curled 'round mine
Perfectly formed; new born
The image of two
Infinite mystery
I wanted to know were life comes from

What human intellect can't sway
Must be explained this way
Earth wisdom, religions of men
