Praise The Lord - Avalon

When you're up against a struggle
That shatters all your dreams
And your hopes been cruelly crushed
By Satan's manifested schemes.
And you feel the urge within you
To submit to earthily fears
Don't let the faith your standing in
Secede to disappear

Praise the Lord. He can work for those who praise him
Praise the Lord. For our God inhabits praise

Tell me someone, tell me
What is this love about
Help me someone, help me
Figure these feelings out
Strange the way You love me
I'm high on the mystery
My heart is miles above me
Like Your love is setting me free

If I had wings I'd fly
If I could find a way
Give me the faith I'll try
No, no matter what it takes
I long to be by Your side
To show You my heart is true

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy would some day walk on water?
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know
That your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered
Will soon deliver you

Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary, did you know
That your baby boy will calm a storm with His hand?

i used to be the one who would long to hear Your voice
a child who sought to win his Father's heart
but as i carried on, life's got a hold on me
now here i am a son so far from home

chorus:
tell me when did i loose my first love?
where did the fire and passion go?
burn in me Your holy fire give me back my lost desire
and restore in me the love i felt for You

can i remember how it felt ?

spoken:
this love
was my own
in theses true wrords.
i spoke

when i touched your heart
you said i was your star, i was your ray of sunshine
but thats, thats all we can say thats all we want to say
just to be your ray of sunshie
is to be your guided star.

when i touched your heart from far
you said that it was mean to be be like the way
the way we were
i spoke my way around this awkward way

[Bonus track on the Japanese version of 'Stacie Orrico']

I find it so unforgetable when a man knows how to treat a lady
Knows wrong from right , He's never shady

I find it so undeniable when a man's so so reliable (yeah yeah)
The way he outta be
The way he should be
Every night when I close my eyes
I lift my voice to the sky
I pray for this man, My man

I will be hoping for you

what child is this who laid to rest
on marys lap is sleeping?
whom angels greet with anthems sweet
while shepards watch are keeping?

this this this is christ the king
whom shepards guard and angels sing
haste haste to bring him luad
the babe the son of mary

so bring him insence gold and myrrh
come pleasent king to own him

the king of kings salvation brings
the king of kings salvation

Come on, Come on, Come on
Get your feet on the floor (feet on the floor)

Come on, come on, come on, get your feet on the floor
Stomp on it, gonna give you some more
Let me tell you how it was to be
You gotta give it all up to live eternally
Lemmme show you what you have to see
Hold your breath if you want to breathe
Gotta dig, gotta dig real deep
If you wanna find love's simplicities

I've always been a strong girl
My heart has a mind of it's own
Oh People say
'stacie, you shoulda known girl'
But my heart just couldn't leave it alone

He was everything I should have wanted
Even daddy really thought so too
but my heart just wasn't havin' it
after all them things it led me back to you

hey

I have a heart like a child
and my mind's like it's mother
