Behold the bloodied anguished face
In whose eyes are love and endless grace
Who alone truly knows your pain and sorrow
And still clings to hope for a better tomorrow
Leave it all behind
In the hands of the divine
Let loving arms enfold you
As prayers uplift and hold you
Allow peace and rest to enter in
As the healing soon begins

I hear the birds singing in every tree
I know they sing because they are free
But today it seems they're singing for me

What the world needs now is a little faith hope and love
A little tenderness and mercy raining down from above
What the world needs now more than ever before
Is a time to heal and a time to restore
It's a wondrous place, this world that we live in
Let go of the poisonous bitterness and be forgivin'
Carefully place your feet and, upon solid ground, stand fast
Helping each other out is the way we will last
The challenges we go through help us to grow true
Mistakes teach us as hard lessons reach us
And find us stronger and better than we were
Life is tough, but we are too; we will endure
What the world needs now is to give love a chance
To grace a stranger with a more than passing glance
To look into the face of a mortal enemy
And dare to find a place of peace and unity
Let not the sun go down on your anger and hate
There is time to turn around, it is not too late
Perfectly imperfect is what we are
Still beautiful and bright as the evening star
What the world needs now is people who still care
What the world needs now are stories to share
There is one thing the world today seems to lack
We all need to find our way back
To the place of faith, family, and grace
Don't forget where you've been and where you're from
On the way to get where you're going
Lift up your voice and add it to the song
And find that what's been missing
Has been there all along

I am more than the sum of my past mistakes
I am someone who may bend, but will not break
I am special, I am strong, I am brave, I am loved
I am fierce, I am smart, I am beautiful, and rich in love
I am stronger than I know, braver than I believe
Inside my soul, the heart of a warrior beats
I am happy, I am alive, I am built to survive
I will not simply live; I will grow, and I will thrive
I am blessed with His faith, and filled with His power
With love and support, I come through the darkest hour
I am not alone in this fight, I do not walk this path alone
With boldness and courage, I enter the unknown
I choose to count my blessings in the morning
And I give thanks to the good God at night
Bad times do not last, but joy comes in the morning
Sadness and pain will never put out this light
Make every moment count for time is so precious
I ask, Lord, for nothing else, but that you might bless us
Worry not about tomorrow, but have faith in what will be
Let go of the chains that bind you, and be set free
Above all, don't lose hope; God still has a plan
Don't lose sight of the goal even when you don't understand
Faith is daring to go beyond what the eye can see
Believing beyond what the soul can comprehend
Loving and trusting beyond what the heart can fathom
Keep hoping, keep praying, keep going with knowing
That this too shall pass

Your light shines far brighter than the sun
You are a beacon of hope where it seems there is none
Your light is beautiful, shining from the inside out
To gaze upon it only a moment dispels my doubt
Your light may be one, your light may be small
But there may be someone to whom your one light is all
Seek out the light in the darkness of the night
Step into the circle where happiness can be found
Love, and warmth, and peace are all around
Help others to find their special inner glow
Surround yourself with other lights to make it grow
Things may look bleak, the outlook may be grim
But sing color to the gray, sing aloud a hymn
And you will find, in due time, hope start to swell
One day, you'll be able to say, "With my soul, it is well"
Light a candle and set it out for one and all to see
A candle in memory, solidarity, peace and harmony
For all mankind, be a shining illustration
Of love and compassion in any situation
Your light is desperately needed in the world
An open hand when so many fists are curled
We are a light not to be hidden, but be seen
And we believe in the beauty of our dreams

When the world is against me and my backs against the wall
When I get tripped up, and I slip, stumble and fall
It's okay, it's alright I'll be fine; I'm pressing on!

I keep my head up high; I keep my heart beating strong
If I face the sun and lean into the wind, I can't go wrong
With one foot in front of the other; I'm pressing on!

Don't give up the fight; stand up for what's right
We're going to work it out, we're going to talk it out
We are walking together; together, we are pressing on!

We learn what we are capable of when the going gets tough
We find out how and what it means to deeply and truly love
Turning hatred off; compassion we're pressing on!

Reach out your hand for the hand of another
Lend a hand to all your sisters and brothers
Heart to heart and hand to hand; we are pressing on!
