Between the Seven Stars

Every dusty road finds its way back home
Every lonely highway its place
So come with me where we can be alone
Oh, come away with me

 

Chorus
O’er horizon, it beckons me on
Calls my heart to His own
So when it’s over and I am gone
Oh, you’ll know I have gone to my home

 

It seems like the more of this world that I see
The more I want to forget
So I set my eyes upon the prize He promised me
And pray for the time that I have left

 

Repeat Chorus

Stay a while and talk about
All the things we live without
The happy thoughts just always out of reach
Then make a wish but hold that thought
There’s just some things that can’t be bought
Whoever said the best things in life are free

 

Chorus
Another time another place
It’s just another act of grace
That keeps me where I know that I should be
I’m on my knees so I try to pray
You know what I need anyway
So I close my eyes and watch you live through me

 

When the day is over and work is done
I count my blessings one by one
Then home for love and time for family
And every night I say my prayers
And thank the Lord for being there
I guess some things in life are really free

 

Repeat Chorus

Roses are red and the sky is always blue
And I often wish that I could be there with you
Just a heartbeat away, it tells me that I might have a good day
With you, alone here with you

 

I pretend that you’re here with me and everything’s fine
Because I know this is how it should be all of the time
I’m too old to cry, it seems like I never know really why
With you, when I’m here with you

 

I wake every morning to find something not right
Because I’m haunted by memories that I am too tired to fight
I try hard to pray to ask you why I’m feeling this way
With you, when it’s just me and you

 

I remember the promise I made if you’d keep me safe
I should have promised the same every day
But now the time is gone and it is time to be moving on
With you, I’m going with you

 

Roses are red and the sky is always blue

There’s a way that seems right to a man
But in the end leads only to death
And for all our brilliant thoughts and perfect plans
We always seem to be left short of breath
So I guess what I am trying to say
The sun will rise to set once again
Each moment has enough worries for each day
So let it go and give it back to Him

 

The heart can cherish more than what it feels
The soul finds shelter as it did before
But to live I know I must take time to heal
To find out what I am really living for
The Jordan calls me to the other side
I know there’s one who gently holds my hand
The waters part and the path leads on to life
So I’ll build my altar in the promised land

 

The older I become the more I see
The less inclined I am to suffer fools
For I know the plans that you have for me
A future that is worth so much more
And if I ever pass by here again
I’ll find the words written on these stones
You alone a broken heart can mend
In You alone I find my way only home

Sit awhile and talk with me
About the differences that we can see
Different hopes and different dreams
Different as different can be

 

Subtract the difference from the status quo
Then multiply and soon you’ll know
Differences as different go
Make all the difference when the difference is so

 

Chorus


Different times and different places
Different lives and different faces
Yet the difference is the difference is still the same

 

Our differences are different than
Who we are or where we’ve been
But how we love and what we give
And why we die and how we choose to live

 

Repeat Chorus


Morning has come and the morning has gone
The longest morning I’ve ever dreamed of
I fled in the night but soon after dawn
I looked all around me but found He was gone

 

Out on the streets a crowd gathered round
I saw him bleeding and fall to the ground
My eyes filled with vain tears as He walked to His death
But then with a small voice He silently said

 

Chorus
Say to the mountains fall
And to the hills come and cover us all
For the time will be
You’ll say blessed are the barren who never conceived
For if men do these while I’m still alive
What will happen when the green tree is dry?
For now we must preserve grace and hope for the day
The mountains will crumble and hills roll away

 

Dark came on fast as if night filled the sky
The darkest morning the moment He died
I ran far away from the pain and the fear
And cried out so loud though no one could hear

 

I fled to the garden where once He had prayed
The red blood of His love all around me was stained
Down on my face I cried “Lord now I see
Why the mountains must fall and hills cover me”

 

Repeat Chorus

It’s not up to me to know the hour
When God’s great goodness will come
So I’ll rest, waiting on You
You’re the author and perfecter of life

 

Chorus
I’ll try to see all the sweetness around me
Given for all to find
And I will sing of the goodness of Jesus
The giver and author of life

 

I’m passing through on my way
And it’s never been quite as I planned
So I’ll wait ‘till I hear from you
You’re the shepherd who shelters my life

 

Repeat Chorus

The night has come
The lamps are aflame
And the virgins wait for their love
Five of them are foolish
Though five of them wise
Each awaits the bridegroom to come

 

Chorus
The bridegroom cometh
His heart song beats in the night
“Come to the wedding hall
Come to my feast one and all”

 

The hour grows late
And hearts grow faint
And soon all asleep on the ground
The oil burns low
The light fades away
As the flames start flickering out

 

Repeat Chorus

 

Time draws near
The call sounds clear
And the bride awakens her heart
The wise have light
But five won’t shine
And soon are left in the dark

 

Repeat Chorus

Snow comes down comes down every winter
It settles there on the ground
And you try hard to remember
What is lost can be found

 

Some things never seem to change
Like shades of color in the snow
Always white and always the same
Yet in the light some color shows

 

Chorus
If you ask me I will tell you
What you really need to know
All that’s lost I will find for you
Like shades of color in the snow

 

Like forgotten hopes, remembered dreams
You can hear their echoes on the wind
All is lost or so it seems
The snow is falling once again

 

Repeat Chorus

Glimpses of a velvet sky, silence of a moonless night
All that I can see, and all you are
Autumn mornings and winter trees, the promise of a longer spring
I cleanse my eyes in tears and hide from me

 

Chorus
And I thought I saw You between the seven stars
And I seem to never find You where You are
And I thought my time had run out
Thought that I had lost You somehow
Just catching glimpses

 

Glancing round on every side, I’m praying that I prayed it right
I catch a sight of you in the corner of my eye
And now I see this side of me that tells me who I’m meant to be
The promise of your love when I am free

 

Repeat Chorus

You and I are standing towards the farthest shore
This tide will take us away
Love now beckons through the open door
As the rhythm of this life takes sway

Every time that I see the signs
I fear the winds of change
Still my heart seeks and finds
That somewhere in between come what may

 

If you should choose to sail with me
I’d take your hand in mine
I sure would be grateful for your company
As together we will navigate this life

Dim star illuminates the passage through
A tempest may change our course
But I won’t mind as long as I’m with you
Together we can reach the farthest shore

 

When we have sailed across the sea
And all has been said and done
We’ll walk together just you and me
From the wreckage of all that once was

Land meets horizon, sky meets the sky
This vessel will sail no more
And in His light we see light
Standing on the farthest shore

Can we talk today?
Will we talk today?
Today, today, it’s another day

Shall we walk today?
Could we walk today?
Today, today, I want you to stay

 

Can you tell me today?
I want to know this day
Today, today, teach me your way

 

Change my heart today
Lord, I have to change today
Today, today, never the same

 

Love me today
I need Your love today
Today, today, don’t take love away

 

Help me today
Lord, I need Your help today
Today, today, is help on the way?

 

Should I hope today?
Is there hope today?
Today, today, I hoped you’d say

 

Could we sing today?
What shall we sing today?
Today, today, a song of praise

 

Shall we go home today?
I want to go today
Today, today, let’s leave right away

 

Today, today, today
