1. _ Pursuit Of The Dream
Words & music: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
Wake up and dream about
The plans you have in store for you
But keep in mind
It's not just what you do
But what you do it for-and who
There are roads to discover
There are stories yet to be told
As you see the big picture
Just beginning to unfold (so)
Chorus:
Break down the barriers but
Don't bend the rules
Never forget your roots
As you head for something new
Ride thru the shades of desire
Letting the light be seen
And he'll steer the heart in the
Pursuit of the dream
It's alright to find yourself
Thinking now and then
About the way you want your life to be
Anticipating what lies
Just around the bend
Can't wait to see
Comes the time of decision
Some you dodge and some you should face
As you see the big picture
There will be some dues to pay (so)
Chorus
Wake up and dream about
The plans you have in store for you
But keep in mind
It's not just what you do
But what you do it for-and who
There are choices that build you
Choices that will make you fall
All part of the big picture
One day you will see it all
Chorus

Nothing but the blood of jesus
Nothing but the blood of jesus
Nothing but the blood of jesus

3. _ Emily
Words & music: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
Caught, in an endless time
Waiting for a sign
To show you where to go
Lost, in a silent stare
Looking anywhere
For answers you don't know
Chorus:
On the wire
Balancing your dreams
Hoping ends will meet their means
You feel alone
Uninspired
Well does it help you to
Know that i believe in you
You're an angel waiting for wings...emily
You, going through this stage
It's a restless age
Young and insecure
Sill, there are doubts to fade
Moments to be made
And one of them is yours
Chorus
On the wire
Balancing your dreams
Hoping ends will meet their means
But you feel alone
Uninspired
Oh does it help you to
Know that i believe in you
You're an angel waiting for wings
Oh, you're an angel waiting for wings...emily

4. _ Friends
Words:deborah d. smith
Music: michael w. smith
Packing up the dreams god planted
In the fertile soil of you
Can't believe the hopes he's granted
Means a chapter in your life is through
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
Chorus:
And friends are friends forever
If the lord's the lord of them
And a friend will not say "never"
'cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends.
With the faith and love god's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you'll live in
Is the strength that now you show
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
Chorus

5. _ I Know
Words & music: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
Everybody's talkin' in the homeroom
Plans are being made for after school
Should you tell them how you're really feelin'
Or go along and play it cool
Well, i know, i know
How it feels, i know, i know
Everybody's talkin', about a good time
Something tells you something isn't right
But when you're lonely and the pressure's on you
It's really hard to stand and fight
Well, i know, i know
How you feel
Torn between the mind of the crowd
And the matters of the heart
I know, i know
How you feel, i know, i know
There's a light that holds you in the darkness
There's a candle burning in the wind
And if you can lean upon the father
You can find the strength within
Well, i know, i know
That you can
Now it seems like everybody's against you
And no one realy cares
You don't know who to trust,
You don't know where to turn
Well at least you know you've got a prayer
So reach out for the one who understands you
Oh, he's been there
He knows, he knows
How you feel
Well, i know, that he knows, he knows
I know, i know, that he knows

6. _ You're Alright
Words & music:michael w. smith, wayne kirkpatrick, and chris rodrigues
You're alright
You take a look inside
But you don't like what you see
And so you choose to look away
It doesn't coincide
With how you'd like to be
And each glimpse of hope can easily fade
Chorus:
Down on your confidence
It's a fight that won't let go
(but) you've got to realize
That you're alright
('cause) under your rubble
Lies a heart the father holds
And when you see your life
Thru his eyes
You're alright
To learn how he loves you
Is to learn to love yourself
To live the life he's livin' in you
(and) what others think of you
Could never measure to the wealth
Of what he's paid and given to you
Chorus

7. _ Lamu
Words & music: michael w. smith, wayne kirkpatrick, and amy grant
Here we are on a boat out on the sea
Off the coast of africa
Heading for peaceful shores
With a cast of strangers
To an island hideaway
I hear you telling me
Of the place we soon will be
A rebirth from life's demise
Where the world is still--it's ideal
Anything you dream is real
It's hotel paradise
And you say it's nice
(when you run to)
Lamu--far away
Leave the pain far behind you
Hoping it won't find you in
Lamu--far away
You say it's there that you can run
From the one inside of you
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la
So here we are on an island in the sea
Near the coast of africa
And when it's right--lamu nights,
They can be so inviting
Heaven here on earth
But i hear you telling me
This is everything you need
Well, i don't think it's true
'cause the way you feel isn't real
You attempt to try and fill
The void that's digging thru
And it's killing you (when you run to)
Lamu--far away
Tho' that pain was behind you
It can even find you in
Lamu--far away
Because you never can run
From the one inside of you
I hear you telling me
Of the place we soon will be
A rebirth from life's demise
Where the world is still--it's ideal
Anything you dream is real
It's hotel paradise
And you say it's nice
(when you run to)
Lamu--far away
Leave the pain far behind you
Hoping it won't find you in
Lamu--far away
Tho' that pain was behind you
It can even find you in
Lamu--far away
Because you never can run
From the one inside of you

8. _ Rocketown
Words & music: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
A friday night affair
Out in the city heat
Always a party there
Along the sordid street
And it was guaranteed
The place to be was rocketown
The drinks were two for one
Inside the crowded bars
The girls would make their run
Out on the boulevard
It was the idol place
We lived the ways of rocketown
Hang around by the street light
In the heart of the night life
There came a certain man
A stranger to the crowd
We didn't understand
What he was all about
He walked a different pace
So out of place in rocketown
They made a fool of him
They teased him when he'd speak
But when they knocked him down
He'd turn the other cheek
He told me i could find
A life outside of rocketown
Hang around by the street light
In the heart of the night life
Chorus:
What was his mission
Where was he going
Why was his heart light
Always glowing
All i was missing
He stood there holding
What was his secret
Could i know it
Some didn't like him near
Some laughed and turned away
But me, i longed to hear
All that he had to say
He had a peace of mind
I couldn't find in rocketown
And when i reached down inside me
I could feel the emptiness
Chorus
He said it's in the heart
This change that comes to be
Now he had done his part
The choice was up to me
As we were standing there
He said a prayer for rocketown
As we were standing there
He said a prayer for rocketown
As we were standing there
He said a prayer for rocketown
He walked off silently
And prayed for me
And rocketown...

9. _ You Need A Saviour
Words:deborah d. smith
Music: michael w. smith
Made a friend last night, or you thought you did
Had a drink, had a talk, took a drive
Shared the night, gave up a part of your soul
Now she's gone and you're a little less alive.
Shake it off, never let your feelings begin
But your defenses are down and the fear is closing in.
Chorus:
Yes, you really need a saviour
Somehow you've known it all along
Yes, you really need a saviour
You know you've heard it for so long
Yes, you really need a saviour
Someone to come and lead you on
You need a saviour
You need a saviour
It's time
Told yourself today just for your own sake
What was lost wouldn't cost anyway
Life's a one night stand, this time you'll win
The up and down, life-long game that you play.
Shake it off, never let your feelings begin
But your defenses are down and the fear is closing in.
Chorus

10. _ Old Enough To Know
Words & music:michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
In the passion your heart is abused
He is pushing you, you have to choose
Oh, rebecca love is never
Easy anymore
Oh, rebecca so afraid of
Losing what is yours
Chorus:
Are you giving in to the pressure
Holding you again, now he tells you
What it takes to be in love
He believes you're old enough
But how you gonna feel tomorrow
When the day reveals
What you believed was for the sake of love
Don't you think you're old enough to know
You're a breed of few and far between
Holding on to your romantic dream
Oh, rebecca, love is patient
Love would understand
Oh, rebecca, your decision
Is your only chance
Chorus
Bridge:
Oh, rebecca don't confuse what love is
With what some say love should be
Should be...

12. _ Could He Be The Messiah
Words:deborah d. smith
Music: michael w. smith
Been here for days, i'm amazed (at) this teacher, carpenter, preacher
Lost in the crowd, i hear him now, he's praying and he's saying, "god feed them all"
Five-thousand men, al of his friends are worried find bread and hurry
Five loaves and fish, what can he wish, he's praying still he's saying, "god feed them all"
Chorus:
Could he be the messiah?
Miracle man, part of the plan
Could he be the messiah?
Life in his hand,
I understand he could be....
Meet for our needs fully he feeds our hunger older and younger
Twelve baskets more, can we ignore, he shows us that he knows us, is he the christ?
God in his eyes, i realize his power, need of the hour
Jesus is his name, they say he came to feed us and to receive us, is he the christ?
Chorus
It is he the messiah!
Miracle man, part of the plan
It is he the messiah!
Life in his hand
I understand it is he

Words:deborah d. smith
Music: michael w. smith
My servant, now your time has come
You have a job to do

And a willing heart in you
So i give you strength and courage
And i'll hide you in my hand
For joshua, you gotta live for your call
Take my people to their land

So be strong and courageous
So be strong and courageous
You know you gotta be strong and courageous
So be strong and courageous
Never should you fear my call

And you know i'll lead you too
Inscribe my law into your soul
And nothing will touch you.
