Life Love & Other Mysteries

Words by regie hamm & matt huesmann

They line the wailing wall
The masses fill up st. peter's square
Confessions, emotions
Spill out of desperate prayer
I know they're not alone
They've come to face penitence stone
I hear the voices, the souls in need of you, 'cause

(chorus)
You are the answer
And the meaning of life
To hearts in darkness
You're the source of light
As we walk this human road
Every question will find
You are the answer

Across the playground yard
Another future society
Living and learning
The way it's suppose to be
The days of truth grow dim
Your hand must reach and write them
The message of hope that can only be found in you, 'cause

(repeat chorus)

You shined your light in me
When i had no way
Rescued my dying heart
That i could not save
And not just for me but for the world today

(repeat chorus)

Words & music by douglas mckelvey & steve siler

We were made to love and be loved
But the price this world demands will cost you far too much
I spent so many years just trying to fit in
Now i've found a place in this circle of friends
In a circle of friends we have one father
In a circle of friends we share this prayer
That every orphaned soul will know
And all will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends
If you weep, i will weep with you
If you sing for joy the rest of us will lift our voices too
But no matter what you feel inside there's no need to pretend
That's the way it is in this circle of friends
In a circle of friends
We have one father
In a circle of friends we share this prayer
That we'll gather together no matter how the highway bends
I will not lose this circle of friends
Among the nations, tribes and tongues we have sisters and brothers
And when we meet in heaven we will recognize each other
With joy so deep and love so sweet
Oh we'll celebrate these friends
And a life that never ends
In a prayer
That will not be long before
All will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends
That it will not be long before
All will enter in
To the shelter of this circle of friends

Words and music by regie hamm & joel lindsey

You are lord of life, love and other mysteries
I find in you all i ever need to know
Some say that life is a string of romances
To some it's a series of choices and chances
While some only live for the curious dances
Of whatever music's at hand
And some look for love in the eyes of a stranger
And some love the thrill of the edges of danger
But i have found joy in a world filled with anger
Cause i finally understand

(chorus)
You are lord of life, love and other mysteries
You know my future, you know my history
I find in you all i ever need to know
About life and love and other mysteries

I cannot reason with men in defiance
Or try to explain all the mysteries of science
'cause i'm just a child in the face of these giants
But i never face them alone
Because when it seems that my heart is surrounded
When all of our questions of life have been sounded
I rest in the hope where my faith has been grounded
I do not fear the unknown, 'cause

(repeat chorus)

Your wisdom confounds the wisest of wise
Your mercy is truth in a world full of lies
Your grace saves us all from a certain demise

Words & music by gayla borders, jeff borders & phil maderia

Be still my beating heart, love is whispering your name
There were years stumbling in the dark
Fighting back the tears and pain
But love has kept me safe and sound
Those days that seemed like endless nights cannot be found
They're behind me now

(chorus)
Gone are the dark days
That had me so confused
Now i'm counting the tender ways
That your love has broken through
And through these eyes no longer covered
I see love that's like no other love i've ever known
You'd think i'd know by now that your light will light my way
But if i ever start to doubt and my strength begins to fade
I will be calling out to you
Each day you give reminds me that your love is true
And it comes shining through

(repeat chorus)

And as the ages pass
Until i breathe my last
I will be calling out to you
Each day you give reminds me that your love is true
And it comes shining through

(repeat chorus)

And as the ages pass
Until i breathe my last
I will be calling out to you
Each day you give reminds me that your love is true
And it comes shining through

(repeat chorus)

Gone are the dark days
I saw the light
I saw the light...

Words and music by scott krippayne & tony wood

You tell me no one would love you
If they could see deep inside
You say your friends might desert you
If they knew the truth you hide, well
There's one who knows you better than
You know yourself
And he still loves you more than anyone else

(chorus)

Jesus doesn't care what you've done before
How you've rebelled or slammed the door
No matter how far you've run or how long you've been untrue
Jesus doesn't care

He still offers forgiveness to you
For so long you've run from the father
Into a life of sin
And each time he lovingly called you
You turned your back on him
No matter if your failures are great or small
There's no way to hide them
He already know them all

(repeat chorus)

How many tears will you cry
Till you cry out to the father
An honest plea for mercy he will not deny
Trust him and you're gonna find

(repeat chorus)
