The wind in my hair, the cold in the air… time flying
The colour of light draped over sky… clouds passing
There I know … out of reach but close… Untouchable, yet known.
Alone in the night with no one in sight… He sees me
And cradles my sould and sings to me soft… melodies
There I know … out of reach but close… Untouchable, yet known.
I know my heart and that no one can move me
I’ve heard His voice and I’ve felt Him draw near
Whispers of love soothing waves on my ocean
I know my heart … know my heart.
My vision is blurred… it’s nothing that time will not cure
For then I will know, just as I’ve been known… He’ll come for me
I know … out of reach but close… Untouchable, yet known.
Track Name: Mustard Seed
MUSTARD SEED
Written by Wanda Mann, Ann Mainse
MAY I UNBURDEN MY SOUL TO YOU
I'M ASKING YOU, I'M NEEDING TO
FINALLY DRAWING CLOSE TO YOU
MY EVER WAITING FRIEND
KNOWING I'M ASKING YOU, KNOWING I NEED NOT TO
KNOWING YOU KNOW ME WELL, YOU SEE MY SOUL
WITH THE FAITH I HAVE, WITH THE FAITH I HAVE
I GIVE MY SOUL
TINIEST SEED OF FAITH I BRING
TO YOU MY KING, THIS IS EVERYTHING
UNWORTHY, YET WANTED OFFERING
I PLACE INTO YOUR HAND
I SURRENDER, I SURRENDER, I SURRENDER IT ALL
KNOWING I'M ASKING YOU, KNOWING I NEED NOT TO
KNOWING YOU KNOW ME WELL, YOU SEE MY SOUL
KNOWING YOU'RE THERE FOR ME, WISHING THAT I COULD SEE
WANTING THAT MUSTARD SEED TO GROW
WITH THE FAITH I HAVE, WITH THE FAITH I HAVE
I GIVE MY SOUL
Track Name: Little Boy
Little Boy
Written by Wanda Mann, Ann Mainse, Gord Lemon
Little boy, born in a humble room
Little boy, born by a mother’s womb
There you were, playing with your blocks & toys
Creator of all
There you were, Son of God … disguised
Little boy, could you teach things to your dad?
Little boy, did ideas flood your head
There you were, at the feet of the learned ones
The Master of all
There you were, the one the lesson came from
Messiah, Messiah, Messiah
Anointed, exalted, Messiah
Oh the mystery of Your love for me and all You gave to do
Draws the deepest praise I have for only You
Little boy, could you see how your mom would cry
Her little boy, cruelly nailed to the sky
There you were, bound by the love in your heart
Redeemer of all
There you were, playing destiny’s part
Track Name: The View
THE VIEW
Written by Wanda Mann
THE CROSS BEHIND ME, YET EVER BEFORE ME
EVER BEFORE ME IN THE PALM OF YOUR HAND
THERE IN THE DISTANCE, IN THE BRIGHT HEADLIGHT
IN THE REAR MIRROR OF THE JOURNEY THAT I’M ON
OH, GLORY & HONOUR
OH, OFFERINGS RISING TO YOU
SINGING, WORTHY, O JESUS, HOW I LIFT MY VOICE TO YOU
FACE TO FACE IN THE PRESENCE OF YOU
SINGING, WORTHY, O JESUS, HOW I LIFT MY VOICE TO YOU
FOR YOUR EVERLASTING WITNESS
THANK YOU FOR THE VIEW
REMINDING REFLECTION, HOLDS MY ATTENTION
DISPLAYING YOUR LOVE BEFORE MY WANDERING EYES TO SEE
JESUS CONSUME ME, VISION OF MERCY
FOREVER LEARNING WHO YOU ARE & WHERE YOU’VE BEEN
