Original songs from New Songs and Hymn Reconstruction:

These Hands

By the waters of a stormy lake
That's where you'll find me
On the dusty trails that many take
That's where you'll find me

In the desert where the starlight glows
That's where you'll find me
In the morning when the rooster crows
That's when you'll save me cause

Chorus
These hands are your hands
And these feet are your feet
And these words will claim your name
To the minds they meet
And this voice is your voice
And these eyes are your eyes
And these footsteps follow you
They will testify

On a roof to raise a sick man's bed
That's where you'll find me
In a little boy with fish and bread
That's where you'll feed me

In a tax man hiding in a tree
That's where you'll find me
In a swallowed soul who tried to flee
That's where you'll rescue me

Chorus


To Be

Hey old man where'd you get the frown
Why are your tired eyes starin' down
Oh can't you see that was the way to be
Bright eyed and free

Hey lady where you gonna run off to
And why are those dollars chasin' you
Oh can't you see that was the way to be
Penniless and free

When tomorrow touches hills of time
A long long way from here
And my breath has left a trail behind
Of laughter and of tears
Will the shadow of the trees fall down
and sweep our hopes and fears
Or is there something more we're supposed to be

Hey little boy why you tryin' to play
With all those joys your gonna give away
Trade all you see for your final plea and your copper key

Chorus

Hey dyin' man whatcha tryin to say
Your silver hair is so familiar grey
Oh can't you see that you were me
And time flows so free Time flows so free


Praise You

I will praise you in the morning
For another view of light
I will start the day by counting ways
You have blessed this mortal sight
And if the morning does not linger
But there is no sunset to find
I will count myself completely blessed
To have known this morning time

You see my God He saved me from the fire
And his son He pulled me from the sea
And someday my God is gonna take me
Where I only long to be

I will praise you in the evening
when the sun has closed the day
And I'll take the time that you've made mine
And I'll use it just to say
That you could not have done better
With the things that I've done wrong
And to know that you've forgiven me
Makes the night ring out in song

Chorus


Wake them up

This world can be so hard
To things of flesh and bone
And sights can be so strange
To those so far from home
And some will close their eyes and sleep
Embrace the darkness there
We've got to see their eyes and seek
To keep a vigil there

Chorus We've got to wake them up with praises
Give the world a reason why
To turn their darkness into dancing
Underneath a brand new sky
We've got to testify to greatness Of the golden ark of life
And let their wandering turn to purpose
Following a rising light

The wind can be so dry
To those with tired faces
And dreamers follow lines
To blue and heavy places
And some will stare into a place
That seems to glitter far
We've got to show his eyes of grace
Will meet them where they are

Chorus
