FRIENDS FOR AWHILE
SHARING LIFE THROUGH A SMILE
GROWING CLOSER EACH DAY
TAKING EACH OTHER'S PAIN AWAY
THEN THE MOMENT CAME
THEY SHARED A KISS
LIFE WAS NEVER QUITE THE SAME

THE SKY WAS SORT OF CLOUDY
WITH SOME SUNSHINE
PEAKING THROUGH
THE BEAUTY OF
THAT SUMMER DAY
ON A RAINBOW AFTERNOON

A SIGN OF GOD'S PRESENCE
A PROMISE THAT HE MADE
HE WILL NEVER LEAVE US
HE WILL BE WITH US ALWAYS

A RAINBOW AFTERNOON
HOW SPECIAL CAN IT BE
A RAINBOW AFTERNOON
FOR YOU AND FOR ME

FUN IN THE SUN
LOOK AT US RUN
HAPPY AND GAY
ENJOYING OUR DAY

WE'LL HAVE FUN
FUN IN THE SUN
FUN IN THE SUN
FUN IN THE SUN

PEOPLE PASSING OUR WAY
SMILE AND SAYING GOOD DAY
LOVING TO PLAY
HAVING FUN
FUN IN THE SUN
FUN IN THE SUN
FUN IN THE SUN

Seasons come
And seasons go
Everyone busy
Moving to and from

In the midst of chaos
Times of trouble
Times of woe

Some angels just need
A little help
To heal us from our woe

An angles' work
Is never done
Helping each and everyone

When trouble arises
Or sickness draws near
Some angels just need
A little help
To drown us from fear

COME TO ME MY CHILDREN
AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST
COME TO ME MY CHILDREN
KNOW YOU ARE THE BEST

FOLLOW MY WAY
EACH AND EVERY DAY
LOVE WILL GUIDE YOU
ALL OF YOUR DAYS

COME TO ME MY CHILDREN
I WILL COMFORT YOU
COME TO ME MY CHILDREN
FEEL MY LOVE FOR YOU

TELL THEM I LOVE THEM
EACH AND EVERY DAY
TELL THEM I LOVE THEM
I AM NOT THAT FAR AWAY

TELL THEM I LOVE THEM
WHEREVER THEY MAY GO
TELL THEM I LOVE THEM
AND I MISS THEM SO

THEY ARE MY CHILDREN
THEY ALL BELONG TO ME
I LISTEN TO THEM PRAYING
I AM THERE FOR ALL ETERNITY

I WILL COME AGAIN TO GET THEM
TAKE THEM TO MY PARADISE
WE WILL BE TOGETHER
AS SURE AS THE SUN WILL RISE

TELL THEM I LOVE THEM
I WON'T LET THEM DOWN
SOON I WILL BE COMING
TO EACH AND EVERY TOWN

TELL THEM I LOVE THEM
WE ARE MEANT TO BE AS ONE
NO ONE CAN SEPARATE US
THE NEW EARTH HAS BEGUN

TELL THEM I LOVE THEM
GET READY I AM ALMOST THERE
TO TAKE THEM TO MY KINGDOM
TO LIVE WITH ME THERE

I MADE A BEAUTIFUL KINGDOM
FOR ALL TO SEE
IT'S SO VERY CLOSE
FOR YOU FOR ME

TOGETHER AT LAST
ALL ONE WITH ME
LET HAPPINESS AND LOVE FLOW
FOR ALL TO SEE

APART FOR SO LONG
TOGETHER ONCE MORE
FOR ALL TO SEE
WHOM I ADORE

LIFT THE VEIL
CROSS THE BRIDGE
BE WITH ME FOREVERMORE
FOR ALL TO SEE

THE TWIGHLIGHT SERENADE
BRINGS A DAY FULL
OF THE SOUNDS OF LIFE
WAITING TO BEGIN ANOTHER DAY

THE BIRDS IN THE TREES
SINGING SWEET MELODIES
GIVING RISE TO A DAY
WHERE LIFE WILL GIVE US
JOYS ABOUNDING

THE DAWN IN ALL IT'S SPLENDOR
BREAKS WITH IT AWE AND WONDER
A NEW DAY BEGINS
AND ALL IT'S CHOICES
WE BEGIN TO FACE TOGETHER

WE'RE CONNECTEDTO EACH OTHER
ALTHOUGH WE MAY NOT SEE
WE'RE ALL SISTERS AND BROTHERS
SPRAWLED OUT FROM SEA TO SEA

SO DIFFERENT YET THE SAME
DON'T KNOW FROM WHENCE WE CAME
DIVIDED EVENLY ACROSS THE SPANCE
OF TIME AND HISTORY

WE'RE CONNECTED BY THE BLOOD
OF HE WHO SET US FREE
SEARCHING FOR EACH OTHER
TO LIVE IN HARMONY

NOW TAKE EACH OTHER'S HAND
SHOW LOVE WHEREVER YOU CAN
TAKE EACH DAY TO SPEND TOGETHER
IN THE CLOSE AND DISTANT LAND

WRAP YOUR LOVE
AROUND ONE ANOTHER
WRAP YOUR LOVE AROUND
YOUR SISTER AND YOUR BROTHER

TAKE SOME TIME EACH DAY
TO TAKE THEIR HURT
AND PAIN AWAY

FILL THEIR LIVES
WITH PURE JOY
EVERY GIRL AND EVERY BOY

OUR BUSY LIVES
KEEP US AWAY
FROM GOD EACH DAY
WE MUST REACH OUT
A LITTLE TO SHOW HIM
WE CARE AND ACKNOWLEDGE
HE IS HERE

HE HAS SO MUCH TO GIVE
EVERYTHING FOR US
SO WE MAY LIVE
LIVES WITH HAPPINESS
JOY AND GRACE
WE LONG TO SEE HIS FACE

IN HIS TIME
HE WILL COME

THERE WERE MILLIONS  OF PEOPLE CREATED
BUT IT ONLY TOOK ONE
THE HEART OF GOD WAS JESUS
HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON

THE PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW HIM
THEY THOUGHT HE WAS A FOOL
IT ONLY TOOK ONE
TO SHOW US THE TRUTH

HE SHOWED US THE WAY
TO LIVE OUR LIVES EACH DAY
HE GAVE US THE LIFE
WHAT A PRICE HE PAID

IT ONLY TOOK ONE
JESUS THE SAVIOR OF ALL
HE WIPED SIN AWAY
IN THE EYES OF GOD

IT ONLY TOOK ONE
TO GIVE US NEW BIRTH
HE IS THE SAVIOR
OF THE WORLD

FRIENDS FOR AWHILE
SHARING LIFE THROUGH A SMILE
GROWING CLOSER EACH DAY
TAKING EACH OTHER'S PAIN AWAY
THEN THE MOMENT CAME
THEY SHARED A KISS
LIFE WAS NEVER QUITE THE SAME

WHAT IS EXPECTED OF US? -  TOO MUCH
WHY SO MANY WARS? -  TOO MUCH
ALL OF THE HURT AND SUFFERING  -  TOO MUCH
HATE OF FELLOW MAN - TOO MUCH
NOT THINKING CLEARLY- TOO MUCH
NOT ENOUGH LOVE -TOO MUCH

CHILDREN HEAR ME SPEAK
YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE WEAK
BUT THROUGH ME
YOU'RE MADE STRONG
THROUGH FAITH AND GRACE
ALL DAY LONG

CHILDREN HEAR ME SPEAK
I AM HERE TO COMFORT YOU
FEEL MY LOVE AND PEACE
LET IT ENVELOP YOU

CHILDREN HEAR ME SPEAK
I'M WITH  YOU EVERY DAY
I WANT TO BE PART OF YOUR LIFE
WON'T YOU LET ME STAY

CROSSING THE REALMS OF TIME
YOU WERE THERE IN THE CHAOS
A FRIEND TO LEAN ON
SOMEONE WHO CARED

I WAS SCARED
YOU PROTECTED ME
I WAS WORRIED
YOU GAVE ME HOPE

WE LAUGHED WE CRIED
WE FELT DEEP LOVE INSIDE
A LOVE FOREVER
LIKE YOU SAID
TO HOLD DEEP IN MY HEART
FOR ALL ETERNITY

I'M BRINGING YOU HOME
FOR ALL ETERNITY
YOU ARE MINE
YOU ALWAYS WILL BE

I'M BRINGING YOU HOME
TO LIVE WITH ME

EVEN WHILE WE WERE
IN OUR MOTHER'S WOMB

NO MATTER WHO
WE CAME TO BE
WE ARE
PRECIOUS IN HIS SIGHT

WE STRIVE EACH DAY
TO DO OUR BEST
NOT REALIZING
WE ARE
PRECIOUS IN HIS SIGHT

WE ARE SO
MARVELOUS AND
WONDERFULY MADE
AN IMAGE OF HIM
OUR FATHER GOD

Reaching out to fill us
With your spirit
Showing us new things

Giving us hope and understanding
Yet another day
Filled with experiences
Far beyond our wildest imagination
Your spirit lives
So we may live

LOOKING OUT MY WINDOW
WONDERING WHAT I'LL SEE
TO MY AMAZEMENT
REAL BEAUTY IS THERE FOR ME

A BIRD FLYING ON THE WING
A CHORUS I HEAR SING
OF BIRDS HIGH UP IN A TREE
SINGING BOLDLY TO GOD AND ME

THE DAWN OF A NEW DAY
RED SKY AT MORNING
BRIGHT HUES STREWN ABOVE
A SYMBOL OF GOD'S LOVE

GETTING READY FOR THE SUN
A NEW DAY HAS BEGUN
WAITING TO START MY DAY
ENJOYING WORK AND PLAY

MAKING MISTAKES ALONG THE WAY
GOD AT MY SIDE ALL OF THE WAY
LEARNING NEW THINGS IN LIFE
FINDING HEALING BETWEEN THE STRIFE

DAWN OF A NEW DAY
A NEW CHAPTER OF LIFE
I WOULDN'T WANT IT
ANY OTHER WAY

ON THAT DAY SO LONG AGO
A MAN WENT TO JERUSALEM
HE WAS BEATEN SO HARD
NOBODY COULD RECOGNIZE HIM
HIS SPLATTERED BLOOD LAY ALL AROUND
HIS BODY FULL OF STRIPES AND SCARRED
HE BLED THAT DAY FOR YOU AND ME
FOR ALL THROUGHOUT ETERNITY
THE SPLATTERED BLOOD WAS ALL IT TOOK
FOR OUR SALVATION TO COME TO BE
JESUS THE SAVIOUR OF ALL MANKIND
HIS SPLATTERED BLOOD WAS THE KEY
THE KEY TO VICTORY

YOU ARE MY VALENTINE
I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH
A LITTLE BIT OF HEAVEN
IN YOUR GENTLE TOUCH

WE LEAD OUR LIVES
TOGETHER IN ALL WE DO
WHAT WOULD I DO
WITHOUT YOU

YEARS HAVE PASSED
WE ARE STILL TOGETHER
CHERISHING EACH OTHER
THROUGH IT ALL

A VALENTINE LOVE
MADE IN HEAVEN ABOVE
CAME DOWN TO EARTH
FOR US TO BE AS ONE
FOR ALL ETERNITY

WE ARE PART OF GOD'S BOUQUET
INTERACTING WITH EACH OTHER
EACH AND EVERY DAY

LOVING ONE ANOTHER
THROUGH THICK AND THIN
ALWAYS GIVING OF OURSELVES
AND TAKING IT ON THE CHIN

FINDING OUR WAY
AND FEELING HIS LOVE
SEEKING HIM
WHO IS ABOVE

ONCE AGAIN I AM BY YOUR SIDE
THROUGH THICK AND THIN'
ONCE AGAIN SORING
TO NEW HEIGHTS
FOR ALL TO SEE
ONCE AGAIN BEING TOGETHER
YOU AND ME

A DAY LIKE NO OTHER
A CHANCE TO START OVER
A DAY TO SHARE
WITH A SISTER OR BROTHER

EYES WIDE OPEN
CHANCES TAKEN
CHAINS BROKEN
A DAY LIKE NO OTHER

PAIN WAS YESTERDAY
TODAY WE CAN BEGIN AGAIN
TO DREAM LIKE NEVER BEFORE
A DAY LIKE NO OTHER

FILLED WITH AWE
AND SPLENDOR
IN A WORLD
WE HAVE YET TO KNOW

IT WAS VALENTINE'S DAY
THE LOVE WAS IN THE AIR
NOBODY COULD IMAGINE
WHAT WOULD BE A HAPPY DAY
WOULD TURN OUT TO BE
A VERY SAD DAY

THE SCHOOL WAS PACKED
OVER 3,000 STUDENTS THERE
ALL OF A SUDDEN
THE EMERGENCY BELL RANG

EVERYONE STARTED FOR THE DOOR
TO GO OUTSIDE
WHAT HAPPENED NEXT
WOULD TURN THE DAY
INTO A VERY SAD DAY

SHOTS RANG OUT
FEAR WAS ALL ABOUT
THE STUDENTS FELL
SO MANY HURT AND MANY DIED

A FELLOW STUDENT
TOOK THEIR LIVES
HE HEARD VOICES THEY SAY
IT WAS A VERY SAD DAY

OUR BUSY LIVES
KEEP US AWAY
FROM GOD EACH DAY
WE MUST REACH OUT
A LITTLE TO SHOW HIM
WE CARE AND ACKNOLEDGE
HE IS HERE

HE HAS SO MUCH TO GIVE
EVERYTHING FOR US
SO WE MAY LIVE
LIVES WITH HAPPINESS
JOY AND GRACE
WE LONG TO SEE HIS FACE

IN HIS TIME
HE WILL COME
THE TRUMPET WILL SOUND
ALL WHO LOVE HIM
WILL GET TO GO HOME

REACHING OUT INTO ETERNITY
HOLDING EACH OTHER
CLOSE IN OUR HEARTS

SHARING THE BAD TIMES
AS WELL AS THE GOOD
BRINGING EACH OTHER
MUCH PLEASURE AND JOY

LOVE SO DEEP
NOTHING CAN PENETRATE
TO CAUSE PROBLEMS TO ARISE
ALWAYS AND FOREVER
TOGETHER AS ONE LOVE

EVERY MOMENT I BREATHE
GIVE ME STRENGTH
TO TOUCH A SOUL

REACH FOR THE HEART
THAT'S HURTING
HELP TO MEND AGAIN
TO TOUCH A SOUL

GIVE LOVE WHERE
IT SEEMS TO BE GONE
HOLDING A DEAR,PRECIOUS
HEART CLOSE
TO TOUCH A SOUL

SAFE FROM CHAOS
HEAL FROM THE INSIDE
MAKE THE HURT GO AWAY
TO TOUCH A SOUL
