1. "The World Needs Your Love" (by Cindy Morgan)

Angels in waiting
For hearts breaking tonight

At the end of a hard day 
And a hard life
Well it's a heavy load 
Where do you go to lay it down?
Lay it down

In all of this confusion
There's only one solution
The world needs Your love
The world, the world, the world needs Your love
The world, the world, the world needs Your love

Heaven is with us
Jesus, You give us life
From the bottom of empty
You reached for me 
And gave me a song
Now I sing it on and on 
Night and day, yeah
Night and day

In all of this confusion
There's only one solution
The world needs Your love
The world, the world, the world needs Your love
The world, the world, the world needs Your love

It's hard to believe 
Such a love comes free
Just open up your heart
Step out of the dark 
Into the Light


2. "Good Thing" (by Cindy Morgan and Alex Alzamora)

Bright good morning
See the sun is waiting there
To greet me with a sweet smile
New day dawning
All the colors dance and swirl
And burst into the springtime
All across the world
We live because You give life

Thank You for the life you've given me
And that you were always there to inspire me
Oh you fill me with Your light
You set me free
Wanna give You all my love
Cause Your love's such a good thing
Your love's a good thing

Rainy morning 
When You send a melody
To dance upon the rooftop
Thunder rolling
And a flash that lights the night
We see You with new eyes
All across the world
We live because You give life

Thank You for the life you've given me
And that you were always there to inspire me
Oh you fill me with Your light
You set me free
Wanna give You all my love
Cause Your love's such a good thing
Your love's a good thing

And from heaven comes a flood
That covers all of us
You breathe new life
You breathe in us
In everything You do
And everywhere You move
You show us you are good


3. "Elementary" (by Cindy Morgan)

Do you want to know what I'm thinking
When I talk to You really listen
When I go away do you miss me
Do You think that You could live without me?

It's the 123's of LOVE
It's elementary, it's elementary
ABC's of You and me
It's elementary, it's elementary

Do I really care how Your day went
Is time spent with You time that's well spent
Is Your heart the first thing on my list
Do You have a smile I cannot resist

Where ever you are
God sees your heart
He'll show you where you belong
Make your love stronger

It's elementary, it's elementary
Back to the basics of love
It's elementary, it's elementary


4. "Love Can" (by Cindy Morgan)

Far away 
You seem so far away
Holding the hourglass
And it's pouring out so fast
Would you say
After these years and all this pain
That we could make a change
And you could meet me halfway
To lay it down right here
Meet me at the river
Where the water's clear

Love can save us
And love can free us
And what we cannot forgive
Love can

So I will pray
Sending my fragrance into the air
Bitter and sweet perfume
All of my life consumed
To be good enough
Is there a place where we'll see love
For what it was meant to be
Just a gift that's free
To lay it down right here
Meet me at the river
Where the water's clear

Love will catch us when we fall
And love will hear our faintest call
And dry these tears that stain my face
And lead us to a peaceful place


5. "New World" (by Cindy Morgan and Andrew Ramsey)

Walking the narrow line
Between the dark and light
It seems you spend your time
Running away from the past

All of your bridges burned
The hard ways the way you've learned
Are you sure the tide won't turn
Before it's too late to go back

Let the water cleanse you
Let it set you free
Let Him show you all
That life was meant to be

You're going to shine
You're gonna see
You're gonna find
What happiness means
You're gonna have
A new song to sing
When you (yeah, yeah)
Step into the new world
Into the new world

Too much you can't explain
So hard to face the pain
But that's the only way
To find some peace at last
With such a heavy load
You've got to let it go
But God will be there you know
To help lay it down

Let the water cleanse you
Let it set you free
Let Him show you all
That life was meant to be


6. "Believe" (by Cindy Morgan and Brent Bourgeois)

Take a ride
Take a nice long holiday
From the fear
That's been keeping you at bay
Into a warm place
Smile shines on your face
Fall into the arms of heaven

Faith is believing
In all you've been dreaming
The sky is the limit
If your heart is in it
Believe oh believe 

I hear
That you sure could use a break
From your tears from your loneliness and pain
Don't be afraid to fall
Give in and give your all
Sweet is the taste of surrender

Sweet is the taste of, yes, sweet is the taste of surrender


7. "End of the World" (by Cindy Morgan, Tony Nicholas and Pat MacDonald)

I had a dream today
About the great earthquake
The sun went black
The moon turned red as love

Four horsemen riding by
As stars fell from the sky
No time to say goodbye to all I've known

No wars no rumors of war
No scandalous stories airing at five
No rush hour drive

Is that the end of the world
Is that the end of the world
Is that the end of the world 
No No No

The sky was raining blood
Pouring down a fiery flood
The seventh seal came undone
All was quiet

No wars no rumors of war
No work and no clock ticking away
No taxes to pay

Silence fills the sky
And the lamb shall wipe every tear from their eyes

And there'll be no more cries
No more sadness
No more loneliness


8. "Walk in the Rain" (by Cindy Morgan and Bobby Bluebell)

Sunshine sneaking in my back door
Blue skies messing up a cold floor
Birds are singing
What they doing that for
I got your letter
Hanging on the front door
Said see you later
I don't love you no more

Sun is shining like the world is feeling no pain
Summer's coming
I just want to walk in the rain

Yellow flowers speckled on my grey dress
Goodbye that's the word I know best
Maybe I'll go heading out West
And leave no number not even an address

Sun is shining like the world is feeling no pain
Sun is shining I can feel it shining again
Summer's coming
I just want to walk in the rain

Night is falling
Time to close the back door
Moon is casting shadows on the cold floor
Someone's singing 
What they doing that for
I'm not bitter
I'm not angry
But when you're lonely 
Crying is a good thing


9. "Grape Soda"


10. "Sunshine" (by Cindy Morgan)

Margaret is lovely
She is a sweet little girl
With her long golden curls
She is running with Joey
And they are sitting 'neath the blue sky
Drinking in sunshine

Well, Joe he's a good boy
Lives in the trailer down the street
Where the neighbor kids all meet
And they eat moon pies on Mondays
And it's a wild and crazy time, yeah
Drinking in sunshine

Well, life is sweet
Sweet and Good, don't you think
That we should drink it deep, oh
Go outside, open wide
Drink in some of that sweet sunshine

Well, Thelma's my neighbor
She is a sweet little cutie
A silver haired beauty
And there's pancakes at her table
And she tells a million stories 
Of older days and glories
How her husband is with Jesus
But he's having such a fun time
Dancing in the sunshine

It's a grape soda Sunday
Just sittin 'neath the blue sky
Drinking in sunshine

Can't you feel the longing
Ringing in your tired ears
Doesn't everybody want to go
Where they can melt away their fears
Oh and go back to the years

Well, life is sweet
Sweet and Good, don't you think
That we should drink it deep, oh
Go outside, open wide
Drink in some of that good grape soda
Go outside, open wide
Drink in some of that sweet sunshine


11. "Happy"

I can remember when
Hot southern Sunday night
I heard the story from
The back pew oh yeah
Glorious angel band
Bring forth the Son of man
Come for His children
Carry them to a land

Where they'll be
Dancing, they'll be
Singing yeah yeah
They'll be
Laughing yeah yeah
We'll be happy
Oh happy day

It's such a mystery
And our eyes can scarcely see
All of the wonder that's waiting over yonder
Drink from the silver stream
Walk down the golden streets
Up to the white throne
There's a party going on

Heaven i waiting
No hesitating
All of the good things, good things
Are yours if you believe
Happy


12. "Love is Waiting"

Sit back in your easy chair
Let's talk for a while oh yeah
I know your world is spinning fast
I hope you'll spare me the time
How long have you been velveteen
Tell me, wouldn't you like to be real
Oh yeah
So let down all those ivory walls
Oh and show me how you feel

'Cause 
Love is waiting
Love is waiting
Love is waiting
For You
Waiting for you

I just know what your daddy taught you
Emotion is weak
But we're all just made
Of flesh and blood
And a heart that needs to speak
How often have you run away
Tell me what's strong about that?
So dig out your old fighting gloves
Before you throw in the hat

(chorus)

I know it's a risk
But I know you're brave
Into the new frontier
Of a sunny place
Out on a limb
That's likely to sway

Waiting
Waiting for you


13. "In These Rooms"

In these rooms dark and bare
I recall when life was living here
How we sang and how we cried
A little of us lived here
And a little of us died
Mama she knew how to sing
But her eyes were always sad and wondering
You see her daddy drank
And he ran around
He ran away with all her dreams
And she looked just like an angel
With broken wings

Broken angel
You can learn how to fly
Let the wind carry you
far deep and wide
Beautiful angel
Well, it's okay to cry
Cause your tears will bloom
Someday on the other side

I never like my mama's daddy
For more reasons than I can share
My mama held him as he died
And I'm ashamed to say I never cried
Chubby fat and insecure
Two crooked teeth
And clothes from a thrift store
Well I never quite fit in
I guess that's why I'm singing

(chorus)

In these rooms dark and bare
What once seemed so confusing
Seems crystal clear
If I were to look back into you
The way you've looked down into me
I bet you'd look just like an angel
I bet you'd look a whole lot like me yeah
I bet you'd look just like an angel
With broken wings, broken wings

Yeah your tears will bloom someday
On the other side


14. "I Love You"

I don't know the words that I should say
A symphony of letters set in place
I only know
That I love you

I don't have a plane that I can fly
Spelling out your name up in the sky
I only know
That I love you

So tell me you love me
Tell me that you feel the same
Simple and true
And better the old fashioned way

I can't take you on a rocket to the moon
Write a poem set in France to make you swoon
I only know yeah
That I love you
Yes, I do

So tell me you love me
Tell me that you feel the same
Simple and true
And better the old fashioned way

Even though a diamond shines like light
Nothing on this earth could sparkle brighter than you
I love you
