Lyrics-God Is Here Album
GOD IS HERE
God is not small
God does not choose
God is not angry
God does not move
God is not human
God does not change
God does not divide us
God does not blame
God is here always, always
God loves you all ways
God is not a country
God’s not the color of your skin
God is not religion
God doesn’t end where you begin
God is here always, always
God loves you all ways
God does not care
How many times you fall
God is holding you
God is holding us all
God is here always, always
God loves you all ways
God is here always, always
God loves you

SO MANY ROADS
So many roads to choose to choose
So many roads to choose to choose
So many roads to choose to choose
So many roads
So many roads to choose to choose
So many roads to choose to choose
So many roads to choose to choose
So many roads
I’m gonna find my way to you
I wanna find my way to you
I’m gonna find my way to you
So many roads to choose
So many roads to choose
You said," Come any way you can get here.
Come, come to me"
But there's so many roads to choose to choose
So many roads to choose to choose
So many roads to choose to choose
So many roads
I wanna give my life to you
I’m gonna give my life to you
I wanna give my life to you
There’s so many roads to choose
So many roads to choose
You said "Come any way you can get here.
Come, come to me.
Come any way you can get here.
Come, come to me"
So many roads to choose to choose
So many roads to choose to choose
So many roads to choose to choose
So many roads to you
So many roads to you
So many roads to you

THUNDER
To have and to hold, circles of gold
His hand in mine felt like home
But day after day, it rained and it rained
Our shelter blew down in the storm
What God joined together
God tore asunder
Let no man come
Between God and his thunder
Split the earth right under my feet
It feels like I’m walking on fire
I can’t stop, I can’t think
I can’t turn back
Got to keep moving on higher
What God joined together
God tore asunder
Let no man come
Between God and his thunder
Thunder oh, Thunder oh
When I get scared
My god is there
Leading me where I need to go
When I feel so alone
What God joined together
God has torn asunder
Let no man come
Between God and his thunder

GOING HOME (ANGIE'S SONG)
There’s something kinda wild
About a motherless child
Who shows up in your life
Ready to fight
It comes right down to choice
And that moment’s tone of voice
She stared at me
Testing out the waters
Won’t you take me home
I’m weary to the bone
I’m young but I feel so old
I don’t want to be alone
I saw the girl
Try to fix a broken world
That never did make sense
In her mind
I tried to hold on strong
So she could walk along
Knowing she had someone
By her side
Won’t you take me home
I’m weary to the bone
I’m young but I feel so old
I don’t want to be alone
Across the world
That’s my girl
Postcards sent
From where she went
It was dark at night
He was too drunk to drive
He pushed the pedal down
Showing off his speed
They say she never knew
But I don’t think that’s true
I think something in her
Must have cried
Won’t you take me home
I’m weary to the bone
I’m young but I feel so old
I don’t want to be alone
I am going home
I’m not weary anymore
I will never grow old
I am not alone
I am going home
I am going home

I WILL NOT FALL
I will not fall, I will not fold, I will not fall
I will not fall, you can push me down, but I will not fall
I won’t go down
I will ride on the fire, I will dive into the rain
I will walk out to the edge, again and again
And my love will pour down on your heartbeat of stone
Singing come home, come home, come home
I will not fall, I will not fold, I will not fall
I won’t go down
I will ride on the fire, I will dive into the rain
I will walk out to the edge, again and again
And my love will pour down on your heartbeat of stone
Singing come home, come home, come home
Come home, come home, come home

PLANT MY FEET
God take me away from this
Put me where you want me
I promise I will listen this time
I will plant my feet in you
God I know I’ve disappointed you
If you could be disappointed
But you can’t, cos you’re god
Maybe I’m just disappointed in myself
I will plant my feet in you
Maybe you’ve got plans for me
That I don’t understand
Here on the ground I can’t see
The view from where you can
I will plant my feet in you
Maybe you’ve got more faith in me
Than I have any reason to receive
You’ve shown your mercy to me
I just need to believe
I will plant my feet in you
Take Me, Oh God Take Me
Take me, I’m yours
God maybe today’s the day I’ll be able to choose you
When it gets tough I won’t lose you to doubt
I’ll trust you when it’s hard to know and I feel alone
And I can’t go home
I’ll be strong for you
I will call for you
I’ll be all for you
I will plant my feet in you
I will plant my feet in you
I will plant my feet in you

STAR
This is gonna take faith
You don’t know where you’re headed
You’ll have to lean on me
You haven’t been here before
You don’t know the way
You’ll have to follow me
You are a shooting star that flies across the night
You know you are, you are, you are, you are
You can’t figure this out
You can’t do what you’re used to
You’ll have to trust in me
You’ve got love all around you
You’re never alone
You’ll have to believe in me
You are a shooting star that flies across the night
You know you are, you are, you are, you are
A star, a star, a star, a star, a star, a star
This is gonna take faith
You don’t know where you’re headed
You’ll have to lean on me
But you’re gonna make it
You’re gonna be fine
Your light will come from me
You are a shooting star that flies across the night
You know you are, you are, you are, you are
You are a shooting star that flies across the night
You know you are, you are, you are, you are
A star, a star, a star, a star, a star, a star

GOD IS CALLING
The water’s rising
The fire’s burning
The ground is shaking
Underneath me
The winds are blowing
The waves are crashing
The storm is coming
The storm is here
God is calling, God is calling
Evolution
Revolution
We’re breaking it down, we’re waking it up
Hearts coming together
God is Calling, God is calling
God is calling, God is calling
Do you hear the call
Will you answer the call?
Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh
We’ll live as one
Live as one
We’ll live as one
Live as one

DEAR LIFE
Oh god I’m in your hands
Can you help me to understand
'Cos oh this world it makes no sense
But I can feel you there
Oh god I’m walking in the dark
I’ve got to do something with your heart
'Cos I don’t know where to go or where to start
But I know you know
Oh, oh, oh
Cos I’m holding onto you
I’m holding onto you
Holding onto you
Holding on for dear life
Dear life
Oh god there’s another war
Another shooting I don’t know what for
Colors are fighting and children dying
Still you’re there, I know
Ooh, ooh, oh
'Cos I’m holding onto you
I’m holding onto you
Holding onto you
I'm holding on for dear life
Dear Life, I will not waste a day
Dear Life, you’ve given me another chance
Dear Life, I will find a way, find a way to give
This dear life
Holding onto you
I'm holding onto you
Holding onto you
I'm holding on for dear life
Dear life
Dear life
Oooh, ooooh

THE LONG ROAD
Every night I’d say my prayers
They’d say good night and close the door
I’d talk to you alone in my bed
And tell you everything
I was so young, I didn’t know
That every house was not like my own
Small and hiding, holding my breath, holding still
Every sound echoing
I took the long road
And I got lost along the way
I’ve been running round in circles
Just to find you waiting for me
I left home at seventeen wearing the tarnished crown of a fractured dream
Drinking lonely songs, singing men along
Waking up on empty
I took the long road
And I got lost along the way
I’ve been running round in circles
Just to find you waiting for me
Oh I can’t take this
Oh anymore
Oh I’ll just take one more
And close the door, just close the door
Breathe it in, breathe it out
I feel my skin, I feel my heart
Beating with life and beating with hope
I remember you now
I took the long road
And I got lost along the way
I’ve been running round in circles
Just to find you waiting
'Cos I took the long road
And I got lost along the way
I’ve been running round in circles
Just to find you waiting
Just to find you waiting
Just to find you waiting
For me.
Waiting for me.

GOODBYE
I asked for this, asked for this
Cos I thought it was what I wanted
Now I’ve got, now I’ve got, now I’ve got
to go
You dressed in lights, like a knight
And you were looking at me like I wanted
Now I’ve got, now I’ve got, now I’ve got
To go
Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye
Goodbye
Broken hearts don’t lie
Nothing lasts forever
But we made that promise at the time
Now I’ve got, now I’ve got, now I’ve got
to go
Goodbye, Goodbye
Goodbye, Goodbye
Goodbye, Goodbye
Goodbye
Broken hearts don’t lie
Don’t lie. Don’t lie. Don’t lie.
