Here is the Highway

Don’t cry, don’t you know? It is time to let it go / You love your life but you want the changes / Just trust, you are held
Don’t cry, don’t you see? It is time to be free / You love your ways but cannot continue / Just trust, you are loved
Here is the highway that you must tread / Your every step is measured out / You don’t belong to yourself
Stop struggling to be free. It is time for you to see / Your very soul longs for this, the answer / Just trust, you are His.

Choose Wisely
04:03
|
|||
|
We’re walking the tight rope; we learn as we go / We’ve got to find balance, left heal and right toe / There’s truth on the wire, the Book is our guide / Oh, I’m craving its wisdom / There’s push and there’s pull from each side
Choose wisely, my child, don’t harbour your hurt / It may go against the grain of what your heart wills yes, but / Choose wisely, my child, don’t harbour your hurt / Seek peace and pursue it still / Seek peace and pursue it still / Seek peace and pursue
The days getting shorter, the dark’s drawing in / She cries out aloud in the street, can I hear past this din? / Cross over the Tyne and tread up the dirt track / Mm, the winter sun wakens / It’s gold dust, it’s bringing me back
A moment in time, the pace of life slows / Frenetic days over, we gather our own / Back into our houses, back into our hearts / Still, the birds sing their love songs / It sounds like clean slate and fresh start

Hedgerows
03:10
|
|||
|
Pull the rock / Dig the plot / Mark the boundary line / Dreaming big / Striving still / Not satisfied
Follow him / Follow her / Sense the overload / Phones and films / Distracted wills / Be still and know
The contours and the colours / They give my soul space / I find myself when I’m lost for a day / In the fields / In the river, in the sky / Oh, and the hedgerows go on / Mile after mile
Mother’s heart / Start and start / And start again / Healing hopes / Strings move senses / Words from woes Pull the rock / Dig the plot / Mark the boundary line

Send Me a Translator
05:29
|
|||
|
Before I saw the light, I was blind to all His love provides / And ‘tho’ I know the way; I’m lost in all this day-to-day
Send me a translator or a code breaker / Send me a translator or a code breaker
The beauty of His word, has brought a sword and cut my world / And through the tear He shines / I cannot comprehend divine
I’m too broken to fix and love would be no glue / I reasoned all like this, ‘till you guided me to you, I’m saved
I wanna know you understand / Don’t wanna feel your blood on my hands / He’ll guide you where salvation lies
Sometimes my life gets in my path / You know I really wouldn’t choose this way, I want to do what I will do / It’s just that I have come too far to turn
I wanna know you understand / Don’t wanna feel your blood on my hands / He’ll guide you where salvation lies
I wanna know you understand / Don’t wanna feel your blood on my hands / He’ll guide you where salvation lies / We’ll go the right way
We’ll go the right way

Doves on Her Rooftop
04:21
|

Doves on her rooftop / Does she even know? / For days and days, they freely come and go / Doves on her rooftop / Does she even know? / For days and days, I’ve watched them white as ...
Snow is lying on the Lammermuirs / Golden glow along the ridge / I see them blowing round again / Just like the year that’s been
Oh, will you love me the way my heart needs? / Will you tell me, in words, how you feel? / Will you hold me so close and so long?
Let me know that I belong, to you
Snow is lying and the sky is blue / Ooo / Again, I’ve lost my way to you
Does she know? (Does she know?) / Let me know (Let me know)

Where Only Fools Go
03:22
|
|||
|
If I could see the future for you / Baby I’m in there / I can feel the fear unfolding / Will you heal this pain?
For we feel like we know, and walk on in where only fools go / Walkin’ in
I could let this soul obsession run away with me / Holding fast to the real and the raw, in light I dream
For we feel like we know, and walk on in where only fools go / Walkin’ in
Bitter is all I hear when they talk of you / It’s not about the love now, but in the cradle of my heart I’ll / Hold you anyway
it’s alright / No matter how wrong I’ve been
If I could see the future for you / Baby I’m in there / Give in, give up, give all that you have to me, of you For we feel like we know, and walk on in where only fools go / Walkin’ in

The Mountains
03:27
|
|||
|
Everybody’s going to the mountains / Everybody seems to need the air and the view / Baby, I’ve been feeling on the flat side / Let’s go up the mountains, mountains too
Record Breaking Runner / Red Bull, The Round / With his canoe, running shoes / Wheels go spinning through / White clouds upside down beyond boggy ground / And he keeps on, keeps on, keeps on, keeps on going up
Victory is waiting / Cousins reach cairns / And fathers stand proud with their sons without cares / Mothers and lovers and friends and then others / Like thrill seeking bikers and rope savvy climbers / And those who are fleeing despair
I to the hills will lift mine eyes / I to the hills will lift mine eyes / From whence cometh mine aid?
I to the hills will lift mine eyes

How We Dream
03:59
|
|||
|
How we dream of, worldly / Love acceptance and praise
Allay that hope, quiet that heart of stone
How we triumph in failure / Delusion and fallacy
Allay that heart, quiet that goal
This soul of mine, that is of you / Grows weary and confused / With bitterness, sharpened Furnish this heart of longing / With the truth of belonging
Your will be done, as in heaven

Warm Island Light
04:57
|
|||
|
There is a story to tell / My friend says she doesn’t remember things well / But oh, oh, I believe she tells it beautifully / She speaks of the isle of her youth / Of how before school she’d walk burdened with pails to the well to
nourish those under her roof
This is life / This is living / That wee girl was just at the beginning
There is a story to tell / My friend says she doesn’t remember things well / But oh, oh, I believe she tells / She speaks of the crofts and the peats / A village where grace was not feigned as they cared for the old, the alone/ good ways taught and gleaned
Warm island light in her eyes into service in Glasgow city / Warm island light in her eyes into marriage and motherhood / She had that warm island light in her eyes even as skies darkened / Those chilling winds blew / Oh, dark waters enslaving her love / Oh, dark waters circling her heart & home / Oh, 20 long years / Oh, in the rise & fall of the perilous squall / Oh, 20 long years / With warm island light in her eyes
At my lowest, He was closest / At my lowest, He was closest This is life / This is living / That wee girl was far from the beginning
Warm island light in her eyes as she sits as my family table / Warm island light in her eyes and the soft, lilting Gaelic on her tongue /
Warm island light in her eyes and I want to thank her for / That warm island light / In our lives

Chocolate Sky

What a delight I’m in heaven to stand in the rain / Ordinarily I wouldn’t give a dime / I was surprised by the showers and light, I was awed / Ordinarily umbrellas would be sought / But you taught me to live in a moment like this / There’s nothing like it
What will they do when I’m not who I used to be? / Ordinarily I would ’a toed the line / Clashes like thunder occur with the people I love / Ordinarily I wouldn’t rock the boat / But this new insight, I am in existence to serve / There’s nothing like it
He won’t go away, not one word will change / Making us high on life and love / Facing the shyness and insecurities and paranoid thoughts and obsession and shame / And here in its place, blood sweet, sacrifice
They say I’m a changed girl. I feel the beauty, an’ I feel the pain / And you’ll feel better, you’ll feel better, you’ll feel better
/ Knowing His sacrifice
What a delight I’m in heaven to stand in the rain
Ordinarily I wouldn’t have the time / I was surprised by the showers and light, I was awed / Ordinarily umbrellas would be sought / But you taught me to live in a moment like this / There’s nothing like it
When He comes to stay, so we must be changed / To live in His perfect light and love / For we believe that He came and He gave and to His name we clave / And our sins He forgave / In sacrifice / Chocolate sky, chocolate sky

We’ll keep on singing ‘til the sighing is no more
I woke this morning to the news that Earl had died / Then came the email that the job had not materialised / Oh, our hearts ache for those who grieve / Oh, disappointment clings to me
They built a house, they raised four kids and all the while / Hoping, trying to heal his body / Find out what’s going on inside / But oh, how long living unseen pain? / Oh, when will sun follow the rain?
I won’t be a pious pretender, no I won’t go there / Because you need me real / You need me just to see the weight your heart has to bear / You are not a burden; we are journeying home / Oh, won’t you let me help you carry this so you know you’re not alone We’ll keep on singing ‘til the sighing is no more
My friend has walked this earth past three score years and ten / And yet the boy within still longs to meet his mother again
Oh, hearts are tender, hearts are sore / Oh, tears come quicker than before
And what a day we’ll have upon the other shore / We’ll laugh and sing and run and tears will be no more / A day of joy when pain is over, stripped away / My brother, sister then the Perfect One will say / Well done, good and faithful well done / Well done, good and faithful
Well done, good and faithful, well done
We’ll keep on singing ‘til the sighing is no more
