Not sure of the bridge, it says what I want it to say but the rhythm doesn't scan well.

Lyrics

My friends called me Sleeping Beauty
As I dreamed my life away
Everything I ever wanted
Was sometime, someday

But someday has come
And there's no Prince to save me
I think he thinks his Princess
Is in another castle

It's time to come back to life
Time to rejoin the fight
Time to leap up into flight
The time for dreaming's over
There's so much still to live for
Time to come back
Time to come back
Back to life

Can I make myself a potion for eternal bliss
Give myself a True Love's Kiss
Heal all these curses
Make up all I missed

You see, someday has come
And there's no Prince to save me
I think it's crass to demand
A ransom for my Kingdom

It's time to come back to life
Time to rejoin the fight
Time to leap up into flight
The time for dreaming's over
There's so much still to live for
Time to come back
Time to come back
Back to life

Is there a cure for kryptonite
I'm so tired of eternal night
Locked away without a key
I guess fairytales don't always end happily
These briars are too thick
For any Prince to even see...
If I want an ever after at all
It's up to me

It's time to come back to life
Time to rejoin the fight
Time to leap up into flight
The time for dreaming's over
There's so much still to live for
Time to come back
Time to come back
Back to life

Deeply affected by this sermon today: http://youtu.be/havd_RVXOEM

Lyrics

If you were here would I know your voice
Would I feel your love
Would I make the choice
Take up my cross
Take up my cross
To walk with you

Some people say you never existed at all
The improbable story of divine birth was grafted onto a Judaic framework
Just another deception from the makers of elitism

The words you gave us were powerful and simple
I know you are more than just a parable
I know you lived
I know you rose

If you were here would I know your voice
Would I feel your love
Would I make the choice
Take up my cross
Take up my cross
To walk with you

Some people say you never rose from the dead
You had a twin brother who took your place
And faked the wounds to save your faith
Just another deception from the makers of elitism

Miracles you gave us were powerful and simple
I know you are more than just a parable
I know you lived
I know you rose

If you were here would I know your voice
Would I feel your love
Would I make the choice
Take up my cross
Take up my cross
To walk with you

Why is this so hard still
After everything I've been through
I've seen the evils of the normal way
Why is it so hard to choose
To suffer for my faith in you
To live by your word and your truth

If you were here would I know your voice
Would I feel your love
Would I make the choice
Take up my cross
Take up my cross
To walk with you

Cookies need no introduction.

Lyrics

Why does the dark side get everything cool
Red lightsabers, black leather and the signature mysterious cloak
Black forest cakes and cookies to make us all drool
Makes the light side look like a joke...

Well...

Someday
I'm gonna bake light side cookies
To make the dark side pay!

(Vengeance leads to the dark side, my young apprentice)

...Oh yeah

Someday
I'm gonna bake light side cookies
To make the people say

I wanna be a Jedi for their cookies
Nobody died to bring me these delicious delights
Almost makes up for the lack of romantic nights
I wanna be a Jedi for their cookies

Well, does the light side get anything cool?
Sure we've got lightsabers - any colour that's not red
(My apprentice, we're the good side, stop playing the fool
The dark side just makes people dead)

Someday
I'm gonna bake light side cookies
Force the dark side to obey

(Aggression leads to the dark side, my young apprentice)

...Oh yeah

Someday
I'm gonna bake light side cookies
For everyone to say

I wanna be a Jedi for their cookies
Nobody died to bring me these delicious delights
Almost makes up for the lack of romantic nights
I wanna be a Jedi for their cookies

(We're welcomed in all coordinates across the galaxies
And there's only once or twice been dark side wookiies
One other thing besides
The cookies are a lie
You think pure evil wouldn't do misleading advertising?!)
The dark side doesn't have cookies?
What do they feed their students - pie? I like pie...

(You don't like pie made from the other students, my young apprentice)

...Oh yeah

(Someday
You're gonna bake light side cookies
And everyone will say)

Aww

I wanna be a Jedi for their cookies
Nobody died to bring me these delicious delights
Almost makes up for the lack of romantic nights
I wanna be a Jedi for their cookies

Lyrics

My redeemer lifted me, gave me strength where I was weak
Formed the stars and the seas
Made the flowers and the bees

[Chorus]
My creator loves me even beyond death
Love gives me breath
What a love that made me
Such a love which saved me
Tenderly, mightily, eternally
My creator

My deliverer made my heart, gave me courage, gave me art
Freedom in a fresh start
From despair I now depart

My provider knows my soul, made me beautiful and whole
For every thing there is a role
From the mountain to the foal

Lyrics

We are made by Holy Hands
Out of dust from stars and strands of DNA
A miracle in the making
Every second of every day

We are born of love
Inheriting glory from above

This promise stands
This promise stands
Alleluia
This promise stands

Life itself is a promise
Out of time we weave meaning to flesh
A miracle from the Maker
For each unfolding moment afresh

We are born of love
Inheriting glory from above

This promise stands
This promise stands
Alleluia
This promise stands

This abiding love is woven throughout eternity
Repent of all sin
Let the Holy Spirit in
Let the Maker make us free

This promise stands
This promise stands
Alleluia
This promise stands

We are born to be free
We are born to be free

This promise stands
This promise stands
Alleluia
This promise stands

Heartmaker (2015)

Heartmaker (01 - Lyrics - Feb 1)

About two years ago I was more than half dead. Prayed to God, and He restored me to life. Although I still have a way to go to be fully healthy and functional, it's getting better every day.

Lyrics

Walking in the beauty of the night
Waking to the song of morning's light
It is written in the rain and sun
It is written

The one who made this made us
The one who made this made us

Creator, you're my heartmaker
I stand in your strength all my days
Creator, you're my heartmaker
Forever I will sing your praise

Touching another's heart
Shows the depth of the Maker's art
It is written in the trees and tides
It is written

The one who made this made us
The one who made this made us

Creator, you're my heartmaker
I stand in your strength all my days
Creator, you're my heartmaker
Forever I will sing your praise

Let the rocks ring out
Let the birds and angels sing
Of the glory of the One
Who made everything

The one who made this made us
The one who made this made us

Creator, you're my heartmaker
I stand in your strength all my days
Creator, you're my heartmaker
Forever I will sing your praise

Looking at the beauty all around
Creation shows a truth most profound
It is written in the wind and stars
It is written

The one who made this made us
The one who made this made us

Creator, you're my heartmaker
I stand in your strength all my days
Creator, you're my heartmaker
Forever I will sing your praise

Creator, you're my heartmaker
I stand in your strength all my days
Creator, you're my heartmaker
Forever I will sing your praise
