  • ord i have a heavy burden of all i've seen and know
    it's more than i can handle
    but your word is burning like a fire shut up in my bones
    and i can’t let it go

    and when i'm weary and overwrought
    with so many battles left unfought

    i think of paul and silas in the prison yard
    i hear their song of freedom rising to the stars

    and when the Saints go marching in
    i want to be one of them

    lord it's all that i can't carry and cannot leave behind
    it all can overwhelm me
    but when i think of all who've gone before and lived a faithful life
    their courage compels me

    and when i'm weary and overwrought
    with so many battles left unfought

    i think of paul and silas in the prison yard
    i hear their song of freedom rising to the stars
    i see the shepherd moses in the pharaohs court
    i hear his call for freedom for the people of the Lord

    chorus x2

    i see the long quiet walk along the underground railroad
    i see the slave awakening to the value of her soul
    i see the young missionary and the angry spear
    i see his family returning with no trace of fear
    i see the long hard shadows of calcutta nights
    i see the sister standing by the dying man’s side
    i see the young girl huddled on the brothel floor
    i see the man with a passion come kicking down that door

    i see the man of sorrow and his long troubled road
    i see the world on his shoulders and my easy load

    Whispers in the Dark-Skillet

    Despite the lies that you're making
    Your love is mine for the taking
    My love is
    Just waiting
    To turn your tears to roses

    I will be the one that's gonna hold you
    I will be the one that you run to
    My love is
    A burning, consuming fire

    [Chorus:]
    No
    You'll never be alone
    When darkness comes I'll light the night with stars
    Hear my whispers in the dark
    No
    You'll never be alone
    When darkness comes you know I'm never far
    Hear my whispers in the dark

    You feel so lonely and ragged
    You lay here broken and naked
    My love is
    Just waiting
    To clothe you in crimson roses

    I will be the one that's gonna find you
    I will be the one that's gonna guide you
    My love is
    A burning, consuming fire

    These back steps are steeper to the ground
    The brightest stars are falling down
    I’m walking the edge, walking the tightest rope
    We can be frank, reality rips on through, rolling like a hurricane
    I’m over the bridge and under the rain
    If everything’s falling, if everything’s changed
    If I’m in the open, if I’m in the way
    What am I doing here
    If you’re not with me
    What have I got to live for, if it’s just my own dream
    Take it back to the beginning, back to the start
    When gravity’s pulling, you’re still holding my heart
    You come crashing down
    Crashing down
    These four walls are closing in on me
    The talk is louder than I’ll sing
    I want to be there, want to be where you are
    but you know it all, Every look and smile that aren’t meant to break
    I’m over the bridge and under the rain
    If everything’s falling, if everything’s changed
    If I’m in the open, if I’m in the way
    What am I doing here
    If you’re not with me
    What have I got to live for, if it’s just my own dream
    Take it back to the beginning, back to the start
    When gravity’s pulling, you’re still holding my heart
    You come crashing down
    Crashing down
    And you say that everything is different, why don’t we just hold on
    And you say that everything is different, why don’t we just hold on
    Crashing down
