Gotta Serve Somebody ~ Bob Dylan
You may be an ambassador to England or France, You may like to gamble, you might like to dance, You may be the heavyweight champion of the world, You may be a socialite with a long string of pearls
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed You're gonna have to serve somebody, Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord But you're gonna have to serve somebody.
You might be a rock 'n' roll addict prancing on the stage, You might have drugs at your command, women in a cage, You may be a business man or some high degree thief, They may call you Doctor or they may call you Chief
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed You're gonna have to serve somebody, Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord But you're gonna have to serve somebody.
You may be a state trooper, you might be a young Turk, You may be the head of some big TV network, You may be rich or poor, you may be blind or lame, You may be living in another country under another name
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed You're gonna have to serve somebody, Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord But you're gonna have to serve somebody.
You may be a construction worker working on a home, You may be living in a mansion or you might live in a dome, You might own guns and you might even own tanks, You might be somebody's landlord, you might even own banks
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed You're gonna have to serve somebody, Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord But you're gonna have to serve somebody.
You may be a preacher with your spiritual pride, You may be a city councilman taking bribes on the side, You may be workin' in a barbershop, you may know how to cut hair, You may be somebody's mistress, may be somebody's heir
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed You're gonna have to serve somebody, Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord But you're gonna have to serve somebody.
Might like to wear cotton, might like to wear silk, Might like to drink whiskey, might like to drink milk, You might like to eat caviar, you might like to eat bread, You may be sleeping on the floor, sleeping in a king-sized bed
But you're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed You're gonna have to serve somebody, Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord But you're gonna have to serve somebody.
You may call me Terry, you may call me Timmy, You may call me Bobby, you may call me Zimmy, You may call me R.J., you may call me Ray, You may call me anything but no matter what you say
You're gonna have to serve somebody, yes indeed You're gonna have to serve somebody. Well, it may be the devil or it may be the Lord But you're gonna have to serve somebody.

Feels Like Home ~ Chantal Kreviazuk
Somethin' in your eyes, makes me wanna lose myself Makes me wanna lose myself, in your arms There's somethin' in your voice, makes my heart beat fast Hope this feeling lasts, the rest of my life
If you knew how lonely my life has been And how long I've been so alone And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along And change my life the way you've done
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me It feels like I'm all the way back where I come from It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
A window breaks, down a long, dark street And a siren wails in the night But I'm alright, 'cause I have you here with me And I can almost see, through the dark there is light
Well, if you knew how much this moment means to me And how long I've waited for your touch And if you knew how happy you are making me I never thought that I'd love anyone so much
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me It feels like I'm all the way the back where I come from It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong It feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

Snow on the Sahara ~ Anggun
Only tell me that you still want me here When you wander off out there To those hills of dust and hard winds that blow In that dry white ocean alone Lost out in the desert you are lost out in the desert But to stand with you in a ring of fire I'll forget the days gone by I'll protect your body and guard your soul From mirages in your sight Lost out in the desert If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track I'll be the moon that shines on your path The sun may blind our eyes, I'll pray the skies above for snow to fall on the Sahara If that's the only place where you can leave your doubts I'll hold you up and be your way out And if we burn away, I'll pray the skies above for snow to fall on the Sahara Just a wish and I will cover your shoulders With veils of silk and gold When the shadows come and darken your heart Leaving you with regrets so cold Lost out in the desert If your hopes scatter like the dust across your track I'll be the moon that shines on your path The sun may blind our eyes, I'll pray the skies above for snow to fall on the Sahara If that's the only place where you can leave your doubts I'll hold you up and be your way out And if we burn away, I'll pray the skies above for snow to fall on the Sahara

India's Song ~ India.Arie
Too much hypocracy In this old southern town for me Way back in 1619 began This tragic story Thrown into slavery the crime Was the color of skin Never to see the light of the past again
Chorus: I wanna go where the mountains are high enough to echo my song I wanna go where the rivers run deep enough to drown my shame I wanna go where the stars shine bright enough to show me the way And I wanna go where the wind calls my name The wind is calling India India India
It's a typical Savannah day So I take my guitar to the park and I play Sitting up under the live oak tree The strangest feeling came over me Is this the tree where my brother was hung? Is this the ground where his body was burned? God gave to me the gift of song So I dedicate this one
Chorus
Superiority, who have you better than me Wasting precious time on racist mentality This is only the beginning The flesh we'll be pushing up daisies in the end Cause spirit knows no color Either you're a hater or a lover
Chorus

Wings Of Forgiveness ~ India Arie
I just want you to know after everything that we’ve been through I just want you to know that I still love you That I still love you
Had to go across the water Just to find what was here in my heart all along Spent so much time trying to be right That I was dead wrong If Nelson Mandela can forgive his oppressors surely I can forgive you for your passion
You’re only human Let’s shake free this gravity of resentment and fly high (and fly high) You’re only human Let’s shake free this gravity of judgment and fly high on the wings of forgiveness
Had to run to the arms of curiosity Just to find what was here in my life all along I have found that the utter simplicity simply means making peace with your complexity If Gandhi can forgive persecution surely you can forgive me for being so petty
I’m only human Let’s shake free this gravity of resentment and fly high (and fly high) You’re only human Let’s shake free this gravity of judgment and fly high on the wings of forgiveness
I searched for romance, flowers, and affection What I found is a lasting love for you Is that what the game of love is Bout how much you can take That authentic love is about how much you can give
After everything that we’ve been through I just want you to know that I still love you Want you to know that I forgive you (thank you for teaching me how to give) Want to let you know how much you changed my life Want to let you know you taught me how to fly And I wrote this song to tell you this I’m better ‘cause you taught me how to give
I took a swim in the sea of guilt and misery To find myself on an island in the middle of nowhere In my solitude I asked in all the highest truth And what I was told was to thine own self be true If Jesus can forgive crucifixion then surely we can survive and find a resolution
Let’s keep it moving Let’s shake free this gravity of resentment and fly high (and fly high) You’re only human Let’s shake free this gravity of judgment and fly high (and fly high) Let’s keep it moving Let’s shake free this gravity of commitment and fly high on the wings of forgiveness
After everything that we’ve been through I just want you to know that I still love you Want you to know that I still love you (let’s fly high) Want to let you know how much you changed my life Want to let you know you taught me how to fly And I wrote this song to tell you this I’m better ‘cause you taught me how to give
I still love you Want you to know I still love you Want you to know I still love you And I always will love you And I want to let you know I forgive you I want to let you know I still love you Want you to know I still love you
I just want you to know I still love you Want you to know I still love you Want you to know I still love you And I want to let you know I forgive you I want to let you know I still love you I want to let you know I still love you Just want you to know I still love you Just want you to know I still love you Want you to know I still love you And I want to let you know I forgive you

First Day of My Life ~ Melanie C
So I found a reason to stay alive Try a little harder see the other side Talking to myself Too many sleepless nights Trying to find a meaning to this stupid life I don’t want your sympathy Sometimes I don’t know who to be Hey what you're looking for No one has the answer They just want more Hey who’s gonna make it right This could be the first Day of my life
So I found a reason To let it go Tell you that I’m smiling But I still need to grow Will I find salvation in the arms of love
Will it stop me searching will it be enough
I don’t want your sympathy Sometimes I don’t know who to be Hey what you're looking for No one has the answer but you just want more Hey who’s gonna make it right This could be the first day of my life
The first time to really feel alive The first time to break the chain The first time to walk away from pain
Hey what you're looking for No one has the answer we just want more Hey who’s gonna make it right This could be the first day of your life Hey what you're looking for No one has the answer they just want more Hey who’s gonna shine alight? This could be the first day of my life

Better Alone ~ Melanie C
I understand your point of view letting me go But I thought you had more faith Everything I've done for you You made the mistakes and now you throw this in my face And I have worked so hard for you all of this time and you cast me aside I understand your point of view
But I can't seem to get my head around All the things that I feel good about always seem to disappear And every time I think I've got this all worked out Something chews me up and spits me out But there's nothing left to fear I'm better alone my dear
You couldn't pick a better time to give me the news Why don't you kick me when I'm down? I'd always believed in you Defended your name but you have not been true I gave you so much of my life I've compromised and you tell me goodbye You couldn't pick a better time
And I can't seem to get my head around All the things that I feel good about always seem to disappear And every time I think I've got this all worked out Something chews me up and spits me out But there's nothing left to fear I'm better alone my dear
I know I really should thank you for setting me free It's really amazing the changes I'm starting to feel It's not gonna be long till I'm fit and strong Deliverance helped me heal still I wonder if you ever wish you still had me
Will I ever get my head around All the things that I feel good about that always seem to disappear When every time I think I've got this all worked out Something chews me up and spits me out But there's nothing left to fear No No No
I can't seem to get my head around All the things that I feel good about that always seem to disappear No No
And every time I think I've got this figured out Something screws me up and drags me down But there's nothing left to fear I'm better alone my dear

Man After Your Own Heart ~ Gary Chapman (from the "My Utmost for His Highest" album)
O God, Father in heaven and earth I call to You like deep calls to deep over water Show me Your endless measure of grace Let tender mercies shine once again From Your holy face
Deep in my soul there's a craving To please the One who has saved me O God, though I have fallen so far You know that I'm still A man after Your own heart
I am driven by rivers of pride You are my rescue The Maker and Keeper of my life Lead me by the still waters again Use me in spite of the prodigal child That You know I am
Just as a deer runs to water So does my soul to You, Father O God, though I have wandered so far You know that I'm still A man after Your own heart
I'm still a man after Your own heart

Sometimes He Comes In The Clouds ~ Steven Curtis Chapman (from the "My Utmost for His Hightest" album)
These are the places I was so sure I'd find him I looked in the pages and I looked down on my knees I lifted my eyes in expectation To see the sun still refusing to shine, But
Sometimes He comes in the clouds Sometimes His face can not be found Sometimes the sky is dark and gray But some things can only be known And sometimes are faith can only grow When we can't see So sometimes he comes in the clouds
Sometimes I see me, a sailor out on the ocean So brave and so sure, as long as the skies are clear But when the clouds to gather I watch my faith turn to fear, But...
Sometimes He comes in the clouds Sometimes His face can not be found Sometimes the sky is dark and gray But some things can only be known And sometimes are faith can only grow When we can't see So sometimes he comes in the clouds Sometimes he comes in the rain And we question the pain And wonder why God can seem so far away But time will show us, he was right there with us, and
Sometimes He comes in the clouds Sometimes His face can not be found Sometimes the sky is dark and gray But some things can only be known And sometimes are faith can only grow When we can't see So sometimes he comes in the clouds

Move In Me ~ Michael W. Smith (from the album "My Utmost for His Highest")
I am only human Struggling to find Confidence in all that I believe You are only holy You are love defined And you have said to ask and Ill recieve So I have come to pray That you will come and fill The hunger here inside me to grow Stronger in the faith Theres a longing and a need To have you ever closer Come fill me
Cause when you move in me Its like a symphony The timeless melody That soothes my soul Though silent I can tell That youre alive and well Cause I can feel you move In me
What they try to tell me Is that your is false And faith is just a way I choose to feel And that there was no meaning To you upon the cross And I should reach for something that is real And when those words are said The questions in me start And I dont have any answers Until I stop thinking with my head And start listening to my heart And there I find my assurance I tell them
Cause when you move in me Its like a symphony The timeless melody That soothes my soul Though silent I can tell That youre alive and well Cause I can feel you move In me

A Heart Like Mine ~ Bryan Duncan (From the "My Utmost For His Highest" album)
Of all the hearts in the world I've only one to give So insecure, a desperate pulse Racing to Your embrace That You could want me and seek me Is more than words could ever say That You would love me and see in me A pearl of price, thrown away
A heart like mine How could it be worthy that You'd find A way to redeem this hardened clay Twisted and broken Oh Father God above The wonder that You'd love a heart like mine
Your holy hands hold me still Shaping my heart anew Once vacant shell now reclaimed Offers its praise to You The one who searched till You found me A wounded lamb whose gone astray You stopped the world to recover me Oh Lamb of God, the price You've paid
A heart like mine How could it be worthy that You'd find A way to redeem this hardened clay Twisted and broken Oh Father God above The wonder that You'd love a heart like mine
I make my promise to Do the one thing I can do with abandon I can give every heartbeat to You
A heart like mine How could it be worthy that You'd find A way to redeem this hardened clay Twisted and broken Oh Father God above The wonder that You'd love a heart like mine
A heart like mine How could it be worthy that You'd find A way to redeem this hardened clay Twisted and broken Oh Father God above The wonder that You'd love a heart like mine

"Illegal" ~ Shakira (featuring Carlos Santana)
Who would have thought That you could hurt me The way you've done it? So deliberate, so determined
And since you have been gone I bite my nails for days and hours And question my own questions on and on
So tell me now, tell me now Why you're so far away When I'm still so close
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry" You said you would love me until you die And as far as I know you're still alive, baby You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry" I'm starting to believe it should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart
I tried so hard to be attentive To all you wanted Always supportive, always patient What did I do wrong? I'm wondering for days and hours It's here, it isn't here where you belong
Anyhow, anyhow I wish you both all the best I hope you get along
But you don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry" You said you would love me until you die And as far as I know you're still alive, baby You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry" I'm starting to believe it should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart
You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry" You said you would love me until you die And as far as I know you're still alive, baby You don't even know the meaning of the words "I'm sorry" I'm starting to believe it should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart
Open heart Open heart It should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart
Open heart Open heart It should be illegal to deceive a woman's heart

No More Chains By Nichole Nordeman, from the album Brave
How did I get locked up inside? What's this that renders me paralyzed? I lost myself in small pieces It happened over time
I traded love for a heavy chain Another link every other day I pulled it up and down a mountain It made me want to say?
No more chains No more chains Big and small, watch them fall away No more chains Big and small, watch them fall away
I wonder now if the choice was mine The door was open, I walked inside Nobody had my arm twisted Nobody made me stay
The face of freedom can show up small A tiny crack in a prison wall A song that rises up from silence A voice that wants to say?
No more chains No more chains Big and small, watch them fall away No more chains Big and small, watch them fall away
I should let you give me wings I should let you set me free
No more chains No more chains Big and small, watch them fall away No more chains Big and small, watch them fall away
