Lyrics-With Love Album
JUMP
I've got faith. I've got hope.
I've got grace, in my boat
I've got a paddle
But there’s some waves
Will I go over
Or play it safe
I’ll never know til I jump out that boat
What I’m really made of
Or who’s hand I hold
So I’m gonna jump out
I’m gonna jump out
I’m gonna jump out
And see if I can swim
Like I believe
And the seas parted
So I could breathe
I’ll swim to shore
I’ll swim to mountaintops
I’ll swim thru canyons
I’ll never stop
I’ll never know til I jump out that boat
What I’m really made of
Or who’s hand I hold
I’m gonna jump out
I’m gonna jump out
I’m gonna jump out
And see if I float
I’ll never know til I jump out that boat
What I’m really made of
Or who’s hand I hold
So I’m gonna jump out
I’m gonna jump out
I’m gonna jump out
And see if I can fly

CIRCLE OF LIGHT
I walked to the edge of the woods
And I stopped and I stared where I stood
You came and you took my hand and said
I’ll walk you to that promised land
A way yay hey
Just watch your foot as it steps onto the ground
We’ll take it so slowly, you won’t need to turn around
I’ve got experience with reluctance you see
Cos just last week that was me
A way yay hey
The circle, the circle, a circle of light
You take the left and I’ll come up right
All knit together, one to the other
Oh sister, ah brother
A circle of light
Your eyes were a luminescent hue
They led me past what I thought I could do
Soon we were there in the forest of dreams
When I heard up above me the loudest of screams
A way yay hey
It said, ‘hey you, hey you, you down there, just got here I see
Well, reach up your hands, I’ll pull you up here with me
Cos once you’re up, you’re never back down
You’ll grab the next one who comes around’
A way yay hey
The circle, the circle, a circle of light
You take the left and I’ll come up right
All knit together, one to the other
Oh sister, ah brother
A circle of light
I saw you out of the corner of my eyes
Down at the edge of the woods, paralyzed
I came up and I took your hand
And I said, I’ll walk you to the promised land
A way yay hey
The circle, the circle, a circle of light
You take the left and I’ll come up right
All knit together, one to the other
Oh sister, ah brother
The circle, the circle, a circle of light
You take the left and I’ll come up right
All knit together, one to the other
Oh sister, ah brother, oh sister, ah brother, oh sister oh brother,
A circle of light, a circle of light, a circle of light

RISE IN JOY
Rise in Joy
Rise in Joy
Raise your hands up
Raise your hands up
Sway in love
Sway in love
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight, tonight
Dance the light on in your heart
Dance the light on. Dance the light on.
Dance the light on. Dance the light on.
Repeat Song

GOD SAYS
God says if you listen to me I’ll get louder
God says if you turn to me I’ll get brighter
God says if you want to know me, I’ll get closer
God says if you give me an inch, I’ll give you everything
God says if you want to be scared, I’ll give you a ledge
God says when it’s time to jump, I’ll throw you a rope
God says if you put in a brick, I’ll build you a home
God says when you feel you’re alone, well you’re never alone, you’re never alone
That’s what God says
That’s what God says
That’s what God said to me to tell you
That’s what God says
God says if you want to be strong, surrender
God says when things fall apart, trust
God says when you try to be tough, I’ll get softer
God says whatever you do, I’ve got you
That’s what God says
That’s what God says
That’s what God said to me to tell you
That’s what God says
And you’re where you need to be, where you need to be,
You’re where you need to be, you’re where you need to be
That’s what God says…
God says if you want to know me, look in the mirror
God says when you help someone in need, you join me
God says when I look at you, I see myself
God says come with me, I’ve got plans for you
That’s what God says
That’s what God says
That’s what God said to me to tell you
That’s what God says

LIFT ME UP
Dear God may I be an instrument of your love
May I rise up to meet the higher ground where you live
Dear God may I be an answer to a prayer
May I hear the whispered cry, when someone’s heart lays bare
Dear God, I’m yours. I am yours
Lift me up that I may be
The one who reaches the one in need
Dear God may I be a paintbrush in your hand
May I trace with lines of grace the colors of your land
May I sing songs of hope that quiet down the noise
May I write wings of light, that travel with your voice
Dear God, I’m yours. I am yours
Lift me up that I may be
The one who reaches the one in need
Use me well. Use me well.
Use me well. Use me well.
Lift me up that I may be
The one who reaches the one in need
Lift us up that we may be
The ones who reach the ones in need

EVERYTHING
Come, my love
Your heart is full
And you don’t know where to go
The life you led
Is empty now
You need a new home to live in
I will build you a house of love
You will be with me
Everything that you ever wanted
That you ever dreamed of is here
You may feel alone now
But this is just the beginning
My arms reach down to hold you as
You walk in my light
I will build you a house of love
You will open the doors
Everything that you ever wanted
You ever dreamed of is here
Every hope
Every prayer
Everything is here

BASKING IN THE GODGLOW
Basking in the Godglow
Basking in the Godglow
Basking in your light
Basking in your light
The Light. The Light.
I love you
But I can’t hold you
You are the breath
That moves through me
Basking in the Godglow
Basking in the Godglow
Basking in your light
Basking in your light
You love me
But I am a whisper
Blowing in the winds
Basking in the Godglow
Basking in the Godglow
Basking in your light
Basking in your light
The Light. The Light.
The Light. The Light.

OUTRUN THE RAIN
Running to the land of the living
Running toward these flashes of light
Running just as fast as I can
I’m gonna outrun the rain
Take me feet where you wanna go
Cos I’m a-ready for to blow
I’ve been more than I can be
To everyone surrounding me
I’m gonna blow, I’m gonna blow
I’m gonna blow, I’m gonna blow
Running to the land of the living
Running toward these flashes of light
Running just as fast as I can
I’m gonna outrun the rain
Take me feet to this new land
Where I can set in the sun and sand
Let these waves wash over me
And I will swim the salty sea
I’m gonna blow, I’m gonna blow
I’m gonna blow, I’m gonna blow
Running to the land of the living
Running toward these flashes of light
Running just as fast as I can
I’m gonna outrun the rain
It may come pouring down on my head
Dry out my shoes and try again
Running to the land of the living
Running toward these flashes of light
Running just as fast as I can
I’m gonna outrun the rain
I’m gonna outrun the rain
I’m gonna outrun the rain

SWEET COMING HOME
Morning has come
Your arms are wrapped around me
You have found me
You have found me
Blessed are the Ones
Whose hearts have overcome
Love's hard won
To this sweet coming home
You said be strong
Balance on the wire
There's nothing wrong
With a little fire
Blessed are the Ones
Whose hearts have overcome
Love's hard won
To this sweet coming home
Lead me up a mountain
Show me the view
I'll go there often
Just to be with you
Blessed are the Ones
Whose hearts have overcome
Love's hard won
To this sweet coming home
Blessed are the Ones
Whose hearts have come undone
Love's begun
The sweet coming home
This sweet coming home
This sweet coming home

LOVED, SAFE, HELD
Gentle one come to me
And I’ll hold you in my arms
You can enter from any direction
And you’ll never be alone
Loved Safe Held
Be my eyes, see the grass grow
See the sunrise red and gold
If you listen behind the voices
You will hear me call your name
Loved Safe Held
Remember we were together
Can you feel me in your heart
Come home now, I am waiting
This is where you’ll always be
Loved Safe Held
