1. God parted the Red Sea
Waters high as we could see
God parted the Red Sea
so we could walk, walk, walk, walk down to the promised land
2. I'll dance in circles all around
Jump my feet up off the ground
Clap my hands and bow down
and walk, walk, walk, walk down to the promised land
3. I'll raise my voice 9n praises high
Lift my hand sup to the sky
Look to heaven, smile wide
and walk, walk, walk, walk down to the promised land

To Emmaus
03:30
|
|||
1 One foot in front of the other
In time with my brother
Down this long, dirt road
Shared misery
How could it be
That our Jesus is gone?
Refrain A:
We said goodbye on the hill
Hand-in-hand, stricken still by disbelief in it all
Now we walk, heads hung low
Going home, home to Emmaus
2 Suddenly, out of the blue
Another man is walking, too
Now we are three on the road
He asks “What’s this story you tell
Of your sad farewell?”
I say, “Our Jesus is gone!”
Refrain B:
“We said goodbye on the hill.
We’re sorrowful, and stricken still by disbelief in it all.”
Now we walk, three on the road
Going home, home to Emmaus
Bridge
Home at Emmaus, we share a meal together
Our new friend breaks the bread in prayer
And with his blessing our eyes are unclouded
And we see, we see!
Refrain C:
Yes, we said goodbye on the hill
Under the moon so dark and still but that was not to be the end
He’s alive here in our hearts, close and near
Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!

CHORUS
I’ve got a gift in my heart for Jesus
I’ve got a gift in my heart
I’ve got a gift in my heart for Jesus
I’ve got a gift in my heart
1 Well, I don’t know how to swim
Or climb the highest tree
And I haven’t figured out how to fly
But I’ve got my working hands
And a smile on my face
And a happy little gift in my heart
Chorus
2 Well, I don’t know how to drive a boat or a train
Or fly an airplane in the sky
But I’ve got my working hands
And a smile on my face
And a happy little gift in my heart
Chorus
Bridge
Lai da di dai oh, Lai da di dai oh
3 I don’t got lotsa diamonds
Or dance in fancy shoes
Or nibble fancy chocolate all day
But I’ve got my working hands
And a smile on my face
And a happy little gift in my heart

Refrain:
Real Love and the Whole Truth
(what’s in your heart?) Compassion and honesty
Real Love and the Whole Truth
(how will you live?) Living with integrity
Two ladies shared a house / How about we call them Alice and Zoe?
They both had babies in the same week / Are you ready for this
strange story?
Well, one night Alice in the middle of the night / rolled over on her
baby son and he died
So Alice she decided to take the dead baby into Zoe’s room / (She
had a plan by the light of the moon)
Now Alice quietly took Zoe’s son away / and she laid her dead baby
down in his place
Took Zoe’s baby back to her own bed with sheets of satin / went back
to sleep like nothing happened
Next morning Zoe came to Alice / said, “You know as well as I do
That’s my boy you have there / and if you lie to me, I’m just gonna
have to sue you
I mean, I’m sorry, my friend, that your baby is gone / but give me back
my son”
But Alice lied and said, “No, no, no way / I think you must be crazy
This one’s mine and that one’s yours / if you’ve got a problem with
that, we can just take it to King Solomon’s court (or if he’s busy, Judge
Judy’s just down the street)
So they went to see King Solomon and tell him the whole story / each
woman said her piece with all of the gory
details- like it was heads or tails- it was up to the King to get the
scoop, ask for proof / Who would he believe and how would he know
who was telling the truth? (Guess he was pretty smart)
Chorus
The King looked at the ladies, said, “Just one thing to do / Someone
get me a sword- we’ll chop this perfectly good baby in two
You heard me right, then you can each have half’.” / Both mamas
gasped
Zoe screamed, “No! Whatever you do- no no! / Don’t hurt the child
because I love him so
That’s a crazy idea of justice you got, King / Just give the baby to
Alice, safe and sound and we’ll forget the whole thing”
Well then Alice had her chance to talk to the king / about his idea of
the guillotine thing
She said, “Yeah, whatever”- see she didn’t really care / course you
know she’d been lying the whole time- she didn’t care what was fair
Well, King Solomon said, “Aha! (‘cause he was mighty wise) / Hold
that sword! The boy doesn’t have to die
Give the baby to Zoe because it’s clear to me / She’s the real Mama,
not Alice, you see
The real mother of the child wouldn’t let no thing / happen to her baby
by a crazy king
That’s my judgment, my decision; that’s my rule / and that’s the story
of real love and the whole truth
Chorus

The Seed Song
03:06
|

1 There’s a seed lying here in the soil,
A tiny seed lying here in the soil.
And in that seed there’s a promise of something great that no
one can see.
2 One day the roots break out and dive down,
Growing deep to hold it in the earth
From the seed that’s lying there in the soil,
And in that seed there’s a promise of something great that no
one can see.
3 Soon a stem pokes up from the earth,
Springing up to sing a little song,
And the roots are growing deep to hold it in the earth,
From the seed that’s lying there in the soil,
And in that seed there’s a promise of something great that no
one can see.
4 Then little buds appear on the stem,
Which stretch into lively little shoots
From the stem that’s sprouted up to sing a little song,
And the roots are growing deep to hold it in the earth,
From the seed that’s lying there in the soil,
And in that seed there’s a promise of something great that
no one can see.
5 Now every shoot bears leafy, leafy leaves
Leafy, lush, big bunches of green
That came from the buds that stretched into shoots
From the stem that’s sprouted up to sing a little song,
And the roots are growing deep to hold it in the earth,
From the seed that’s lying there in the soil,
And in that seed there’s a promise of something great that no
one can see.
Bridge:
Now in time our shrub will grow, grow, grow into a tree with great big
leafy branches reaching to the sky, sky, sky
Which is seen from high above by a family of birds flying ‘round
looking for a home, home, home.
And the birds decide to build their nest in the tree
With the great big branches reaching to the sky
And the lush green bunches of leafy, leafy leaves
That came from the buds that stretched into shoots
From the stem that sprouted up to sing a little song
And the roots are growing deep to hold it in the earth
From the seed that broke open there in the soil
And in that seed was the promise of something great that
no one could see.
Until now.

Once there was a widow who lived with her son
In the land of Zarephath where it’d been years since rain had come.
The fields were dried up so no crops could grow
The families were getting worried ‘cause they had nowhere else to go.
Their cupboards were so bare and they were so hungry,
They thought they would die.
God sent the prophet Elijah to Zarephath to visit the widow
So he followed the path to her door.
He said, “Bring me a vessel of water that I may drink.
And please bring me a tasty morsel of bread that I may eat.
She said, “Our cupboards are so bare and we are so hungry,
I think we might die.”
Elijah said, “Do not be afraid, friend, For you are in God’s hand.
Go and do as I have said and make me a little bread.
There will be enough.
You’ll always have enough.
With God there is always enough.
With God there is always enough.”
So, when you’re feeling doubtful or just a little afraid
If your heart is empty, or maybe you’re just having a bad day.
God is loving you.
When you feel afraid, Friend, remember you’re in God’s hands.
Life with faith as I have said, even when you do not understand.
With God there’s enough.
With God there’s enough.
Oh, with God there is always enough.
