"CHRISTMAS DAY" MICHAEL W. SMITH

VERSE 1

Snow covered rooftops

Lights on the trees
The sound of singing

I hear down every street
Families have gathered

From miles away
Oh merry Christmas

It's Christmas day

VERSE 2

You see that old tree down Cotton Lane
Those lights keep shining

It's always the same
We hear the church bells

Ring out to say
Oh merry Christmas

It's Christmas day
Oh merry Christmas

It's Christmas day

CHORUS

String the lights

And hang the stockings
Decorate with green and red
Made the cookies for ol’ Santa
Made a runway for his sled

Singing carols on a sleigh ride
Gather 'round the manger scene
Open presents, read the letters
And together we will sing

VERSE 3

Oh merry Christmas

Joy to the world
For every nation

For every boy and girl
Let's light a candle

For peace we pray
Oh merry Christmas

It's Christmas day

TAG

Let's light a candle

For peace we pray
Oh merry Christmas

It's Christmas day
Oh merry Christmas

It's Christmas day

MICHAEL W. SMITH "THE HEART OF WORSHIP"

VERSE 1

When the music fades

And all is stripped away

And I simply come

Longing just to bring

Something that's of worth

That will bless Your heart

PRE-CHORUS

I'll bring You more than a song

For a song in itself

Is not what You have required

You search much deeper within

Through the way things appear

You are looking into my heart

CHORUS/ENDING

I'm coming back

To the heart of worship

And it's all about You

It's all about You, Jesus

I'm sorry Lord for the thing

I've made it

When it's all about You

It's all about You, Jesus

VERSE 2

King of endless worth

No one could express

How much You deserve

Though I'm weak and poor

All I have is Yours

Every single breath

BRIDGE

It's all about You

it's all about You (4x)

MICHAEL W. SMITH "THE STAND"

VERSE

I'll stand with arms high

And heart abandoned

In awe of the One

Who gave it all

I'll stand my soul

Lord to You surrendered

All I am is Yours

I'll stand with arms high

And heart abandoned

In awe of the One

Who gave it all

I'll stand my soul Lord

To You surrendered

All I am is Yours

I'll stand with arms high

And heart abandoned

In awe of the One

Who gave it all

I'll stand my soul Lord

To You surrendered

All I am is Yours

I'll stand with arms high

And heart abandoned

In awe of the One

Who gave it all

I'll stand my soul Lord

To You surrendered

All I am is Yours

I'll stand with arms high

And heart abandoned

In awe of the One

Who gave it all

I'll stand my soul Lord

To You surrendered

All I am (all I am) is Yours

I'll stand with arms high

And heart abandoned

In awe of the One

Who gave it all

I'll stand my soul Lord

To You surrendered

All I am is Yours

MICHAEL W. SMITH "TAKE MY BREATH AWAY"

VERSE 1

Always so beautiful

The earth displays

Your majesty

How could You ever be

So mindful of someone as me

You captivate

Splendor I have never seen

Nothing else can compare

You're infinite

You're everywhere

CHORUS

You're everything

I can't explain

You set my heart up higher

And here I stand amazed

You take my breath away

You take my breath away

VERSE 2

You've seen me all I am

These empty hands

Are all I can give

That You would die so I live

Sacrifice I can't believe

You fascinate

You stole my heart

I can't forget

And now that I've

Felt Your love

No turning back

I can't get enough

CHORUS 2

You're everything

I can't explain

You set my heart up higher

And here I stand amazed

You take my breath away

The morning breaks

My soul awakes

You are my One desire

And here I stand amazed

You take my breath away

You take my breath away.. yeay..

Whoah..

BRIDGE

With just one word

With just one glance

I'm lost in this devine moment

And every single day

More than I can say

You take my breath away

ENDING

Oh whoah, oh whoah, oh whoah

Take my breath away

Oh whoah, oh whoah, oh whoah

Take my breath away

You take my breath away

MICHAEL W. SMITH "WELCOME HOME"

VERSE 1

I can't believe that I'm here

Having to say goodbye

And I can barely see you

Through these tears I cry

I close my eyes

CHORUS

I can hear the sound

As angels gather 'round

Saying this is

Where you belong

Welcome home

VERSE 2

There are the days

That my heart aches

Wishing you were here

But I know where you are

The hurt and the pain disappear

There's no more tears

ENDING

What a lovely sound

Angels all around

Saying this is

Where you belong

Welcome home (3x)

Saying this is

Where you belong

Welcome home (4x)

MICHAEL W. SMITH "STRAIGHT TO THE HEART"

VERSE 1

When I'm down

When my soul's in need of rest

Come Your words

Of comfort and of hope

I see Your face

Always smiling back at me

A stream of light

Shining straight to the heart

CHORUS

Child of God

Child of Light

There'll be no more

Lonely nights

Cause You have

Brightened up my life

There's a road

That leads me to this place

A path of love running

Straight to the heart

VERSE 2

Over the years I've learned

One important thing

It's that real friends

Shall never truly be apart

You were there

In my darkest time of need

With a hand

Reaching straight to the heart

CHORUS 2

Child of God

Child of Light

There'll be no more

Lonely nights

Cause You have

Brightened up my life

Take this gift

It is all I have to give

A prayer of love forever

Straight to the heart

MICHAEL W. SMITH "WE CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER"

VERSE 1

A silent call

From a distant land

Crying for a helping hand so

How long will it go on

Ignorance and vanity

Supercede humanity so

How long it will go on

I want to know

How long will it go on

CHORUS

We can't wait any longer

They're crying out

Doesn't it matter

We can't wait any longer

No, no, too long in a slumber

Shake it up, wake it up now

We can't wait any longer, no, no..

VERSE 2

Another child is laid to rest

Another day of hopelessness so

How long it will go on

And every day we're on the fence

Brings another fatal consequence so

How long will it go on

I want to know how long will it go on..

BRIDGE

Kuna awezaye kusikia kelio chetu (4x)

(can somebody hear us crying out)

ENDING

Kuna awezaye kusikia kelio chetu (2x)

(Wake up America, wake up the world)

Kuna awezaye kusikia kelio chetu (2x)

(We can't wait, no we can't any longer)

Twaomba msaada wenu (somebody help us)

Aweko, mwenye kuttuoka (somebody save us)

Aweko, mwenye kutupa uhuru (somebody free us)
