Human Race                      John Barbour and Bob Wilson

Heaven is made of broken things
Wayward hearts where forgiveness springs
Heaven is where my soul will sing
But I can’t fly there on these broken wings

Trans:
Carry me, it’s hard to walk all alone
Carry me, on the narrow highway to heaven

Chorus:
On and on I run and live by faith
Till I find the finish line in this human race

Verse 2:
Heaven is made of hurts and mistakes
Of drowning all my failure in His amazing grace
Heaven is where I’ll see His face
But broken wings won’t carry me far from this place

All Along The Way         John & Anne Barbour

It’s a long, long journey, so good so far
All along the journey I would tether the nighttime stars

Verse 2:
It’s a long, long journey, we have come so far
Wounded by the journey I’m beginning to love these scars

Trans:
Open my eyes so I can see angels of mercy surrounding me
All along the way, walkin’ on the way
Narrow is the way, all along the way

Chorus:
All of the beauty, all of the sorrow
Joy comes tomorrow all along the way
All of the beauty, undimmed by sorrow
Joy comes tomorrow all along the way

Verse 3:
It’s a long, long journey, we have come so far
My companion on the journey has opened the prison bars

Through The Veil              John Barbour and Bob Wilson

Day by day I commit my way
In all I’m doing I am only human
I’m just trying,
Trying to walk through the fear and find the love
I’m just trying,
Trying to walk through the dark and find the light from above

Chorus:
I see a shadow the light is on
In this place with the curtain drawn
Thru the veil I can tell my tale to you
A silhouette is all I see
A dark divider reminding me
Thru the veil I can tell my tale to you

Verse 2:
Day by day I begin to pray
I do my best to commit my way
Everyday I’m just trying to be a human
I fall short I don’t pass the test
Even when I do my best
Half the time I don’t know what I’m doing
I am just trying,
Trying to walk through the fear and find the love
I’m just trying,
trying to walk through the dark and find the light from above

Real Love        John and Anne Barbour

We are lonely people and we want too much
Reaching out to one another
We’re hurting people and we ask too much
Only love has the answer

Verse 2:
We’re tired people and we long for rest
Reaching out for one another
We’re fearful people and we never rest
Only love has the answer

Chorus:
It’s an open heart and an open hand
An oasis in a dry land
It’s a life laid down for every man
That’s how we know real love
That’s how we know real love

Verse 3:
We’re only human and it’s not enough
Reaching out for one another
Human comforts never been enough
Heaven knows there’s an answer

The Simplest Thought             Anne Barbour

The simplest thought that I have ever had
The easiest thing that I have ever done
Was to look inside myself and know for sure
To know what you’d come to mean to me
And to dream of how the future might be
That for a moment or a lifetime I could say

Chorus:
That I love you
I love you
I love you

Verse 2:
The loveliest words that I have ever heard
The gentlest touch that I have ever felt
They lie within my memory of you
You’ve helped to weather the winter storm
And to lift my spirit when it’s worn
And to understand the meaning when I say….

The Trouble With Forgiveness             Anne Barbour

The trouble with forgiveness
It’s too hard to forget
I’ve see my mirror image
A picture of regret
My own eyes can see
They’re too cruel to tell a lie

Chorus 1:
I would leave everything behind
If I knew how to ease my mind

Verse 2:
There always seems to follow
A shadow from the past
a memory keeping guard against
the light the sun would cast
Light that could warm my heart and heal me
I haven’t felt that for so long

Chorus 2:
I would leave everything behind
If I know how to ease my mind
I would travel the breadth of time
If forgiveness were there to find

Bridge:
Have mercy have mercy
Have mercy have mercy

Verse 3:
I hear your voice of thunder whisper in my ear
I feel your compassion release me from my fear
Are you the hope of real forgiveness
Can you send me on my way

Stony Heart              John and Anne Barbour

It feels like twilight in your heart
It feels stone cold and in the darkness
There you feel a chill to your very soul

Verse 2:
Seasons change but one remains its wintertime
And in the cold gray light you dream a life
Where the warm sun shines
Who tied the weight that pulled you
To the ocean floor

Chorus:
There’s a heart that burns with fire for you
In this icy sea and it burns in me
There’s no need to lay your head
On one more stony heart

Verse 3:
Faith and hope and love
Remain beyond your grasp
And all the while the enemy smiles at the hourglass

Bridge:
I will calm the sea and remove the weight
As you walk on the water to me

Into Everlasting Light             Anne Barbour and Bob Wilson

I am holding on, holding on with all my might
To a lovely dream to take me thru an endless night
I see you standing there holding out your hand
Saying follow me, I will take you to the Promised Land

Refrain:
No one could do what you have done
You brought your love to a lifeless one
Your power pushed aside the night
To lead your children into everlasting light

Verse 2:
I am dreaming on, dreaming of a day beyond
Where in a lightning flash you’ll usher in the endless dawn
I see you standing there bathed in glorious light
Saying come to me, come and know the peace beyond the night

Rain Me a River          John and Anne Barbour

What I wouldn’t do to lay aside this burden
To lay aside the weight of living
What I wouldn’t give to feel a touch of mercy
To feel as if I were forgiven
Innocence, innocence is a storm cloud away
Wash me clean wash me in your river today

Chorus:
Lord, I want to feel the rain come down
Rain me a river
I wanna be where the rain falls all around
Rain me a river

Verse 2:
What I wouldn’t do to have a clearer picture
To see beyond the shadows falling
What I wouldn’t give to hear the sound of freedom
In the distance the river is calling
Innocence, innocence is a storm cloud away
Wash me clean wash me in your river today
