I wish that morning sun was rising I wish that morning sun would rise It's spirit is so much more Than fire and heavenly home I wish that morning sun was rising. Oh, It hopes for so much in my stead And I hope that it's fire's shot through my head By will a slaven-king Because the power's in 1,2,3 I wish that morning sun was rising. I wish that morning sun was rising That rumor up in the big old sky Cause I wish that I could be him And cleanse the fear within Oh, I wish that morning sun was rising.

Oh, Summer 04:11
Oh, Summer I think I need you Oh, Summer what can I do? And even though, even though you try I’ll never hurt and need you by my side. Oh, Heather I’ve seen all the world And Heather it’s the same as anywhere else But even though, even though you care I can’t think about and treat you like you’re there. And even though There’s love right by my side With this new age My bleeding heart has died. Oh, Jesus you’re the only one around Oh, Jesus is that really how you’re found? But even though, you’ve told about those flames I’ve got other things to think about than there. And even though There’s love right by my side With this new age My bleeding heart has died. I don’t know what I can find myself I need help if I can find myself I don’t know if I can find myself I don’t think about all that I am I need help if I can find myself I need help.

My love mistakes me Every night remakes me But it only happens in my head. It's force of habit This endless passion My endless passion I'm so sorry for what I've done My sorrow's only mine, my one. My love escapes me She seemed so worthy Every time that I just go her way My true love seems to slip away.

Go to sleep my darling 'Cause I'll be in your dreams Don't fall asleep to quickly Lest the night be incomplete. We know it's something special When the moon begins to rise For we know the sun will arise next day And dreams make sweet memory. Have no fear my darling I know it can be hard The seventh day is ending And work again begin. But as long as eyes are closed The world cannot seep in But it cannot be all that bad A world that you are in. We know it's something special When the moon begins to rise For we know the sun will arise next day And dreams make sweet memory.

And when I see things fall apart Before they begin to even start I don't know what to do When I'm with you I feel so down, I feel blue. It's sort of like some romance When I don't even give myself a chance You come so near to me And I to you But I'm far away before it's through. I don't know why, I can fool myself I don't know why, I create my own hell I don't know how, that I can find my way. And when we meet again next week Let me hold you close don't even think I know he's near when I'm So far from you My Lord's so close when you're far too.

Some Word 04:16
All of my life is so self-assured My life is all that I know for sure But I’m still in despair I hope there’s something more. I know my way is just in my head I know my way is as good as dead I fail at so many things My words have no meaning. I can’t seem to shake this shackled phrase The phrase they gave me through words on page But I want out of this life Of figure in my head. When I knew life it was at the start With my new comforts it’s gone apart There must be some word formed There must be some word for me.

I Feel Down 02:07
When I look away When I look outside I feel down I feel down Away And when I'm okay Oh, that's the way I feel down Away from you That's okay That's okay.
8.
That's right I'm not too far away From that which I'm born From that which I'm born will still decay It's all for certain now But I'm not so sure I'm not so sure what's in my head I don't know how I'll be okay. Last night I found someone Someone new Someone new who feels okay I don't know how I know the things I do I wish I could feel the same as you I don't know how I feel okay. I know it's you I know it's you It's all for you It's all for you And when the sun hides away It all goes down in flames, down in flames It's all mine, and you know it too. It's all for you It's all for you I know it too It's all for you But when I feel, feel away It all goes down in flames, down in flames I know it, and you know it too.

New Day 02:55
New day, I think that, that I need you New day, when the night has been run through New day when the earth and sky unmeet Sacred sun, please return and separate me. New day, it's in my head, it's in my mind New day, I don't know what it is i'll find. I don't know about some friends of mine I don't know about some friends of mine I don't know about some friends of mine I don't know, I don't know. New day, I don't know what I need you New day, when the earth can't be run to New day, you don't know how much I need Jesus come, won't you end this life I lead.

Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light And usher in the morn O shepherds, shrink not with affright But hear the angel's warning. This Child, now weak in infancy Our confidence and joy shall be The power of Satan breaking Our peace eternal making. Break forth, O beauteous heavenly light To herald our salvation He stoops to earth, this God of might Our hope and expectation. He comes in human flesh to dwell Our God with us, Emmanuel The night of darkness ending Our fallen race befriending.
