The long awaited rains
Have fallen hard upon the thirsty ground
And carved their way to where
The wild and rushing river can be found
And like the rains
I have been carried here to where the river flows yeah
My heart is racing and my knees are weak
As I walk to the edge
I know there is no turning back
Once my feet have left the ledge
And in the rush I hear a voice
Thats telling me its time to take the leap of faith
So here I go

I’m diving in I’m going deep in over my head I want to be
Caught in the rush lost in the flow in over my head I want to go
The rivers deep the rivers wide the rivers water is alive
So sink or swim I’m diving in

There is a supernatural power
In this mighty rivers flow
It can bring the dead to life
And it can fill an empty soul
And give a heart the only thing
Worth living and worth dying for yeah
But we will never know the awesome power
Of the grace of god
Until we let ourselves get swept away
Into this holy flood
So if you’ll take my hand
Well close our eyes and count to three
And take the leap of faith
Come on lets go

A new song I just downloaded from iTunes .. by Nickelback. It’s only been released in Australia so far (according to Wikipedia) and should be out for everyone else by the end of the year. Did they get religion? If so, good on them!! :)

NICKELBACK LYRICS

“If Everyone Cared”

From underneath the trees, we watch the sky
Confusing stars for satellites
I never dreamed that you’d be mine
But here we are, we’re here tonight

Singing Amen, I, I’m alive
Singing Amen, I, I’m alive

[Chorus:]
If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we’d see the day when nobody died

And I’m singing

Amen I, Amen I, I’m alive
Amen I, Amen I, Amen I, I’m alive

And in the air the fireflies
Our only light in paradise
We’ll show the world they were wrong
And teach them all to sing along

Singing Amen, I, I’m alive
Singing Amen, I, I’m alive
(I’m alive)

[Chorus x2]

And as we lie beneath the stars
We realize how small we are
If they could love like you and me
Imagine what the world could be

If everyone cared and nobody cried
If everyone loved and nobody lied
If everyone shared and swallowed their pride
Then we’d see the day when nobody died
When nobody died…

[Chorus]

We’d see the day, we’d see the day
When nobody died
We’d see the day, we’d see the day
When nobody died
We’d see the day when nobody died

“Round Round” - by Sugababes

Round, round baby round, round
Spend the night on me
I don’t need no man
Got my kicks for free
Realise the vibe gonna be down low
I don’t need nobody got my honeys
When I go round, baby round round
Spend the night on me
I don’t need no man
Got my kicks for free
(Free free free free)

When your still in my face
You’re messing with my brain
If you’re trying to resist me
Then you better think again
If you move to my music
The music’s got to give
If I’m too complicated
That’s the way I want to live

If you hate me
I will show you
How to brain me
Into something new
If you want me
Run away now
If you stop me
Then I’ll hit the ground
(Can we go, here we go)

Round, round baby round, round
Spend the night on me
I don’t need no man
Got my kicks for free
Realise the vibe gonna be down low
I don’t need nobody got my honeys
When I go

Explainations - no you don’t need one
Having a good time
Getting down to the fun
And it’s your time
Just tonight he’ll be mine
And he’s gone
Yeah

People moving, bodies grooving
Never ending
Place is moving
(Don’t you worry ’bout a thing all you need is off your sting)
All my girls are here with me
Worry now they’ve got their need
(Do you feel me, do you feel me, do you feel me, do you feel me)
Woo

Round, round baby round, round
Spend the night on me
I don’t need no man
Got my kicks for free
Realise the vibe gonna be down low
I don’t need nobody got my honeys
When I go round baby round round
Spend the night on me
I don’t need no man
Got my kicks for free
Realise the vibe gonna be down low
I don’t need nobody but my honeys
When I go

Ooh
Does it hurt, when you see
How I’ve done
Without you
Thought that I could belong
Never thought that you could be so cruel
All you need is some friends
Won’t be by yourself
Let’s go round and round and round and round and r-o-u-nd

Round, round baby round, round
Spend the night on me
I don’t need no man
Got my kicks for free
Realise the vibe gonna be down low
I don’t need nobody got my honeys
When I go round baby round round
Spend the night on me
I don’t need no man
Got my kicks for free
Realise the vibe gonna be down low
I don’t need nobody but my honeys
When I go

Round, baby when I go
When I go
(When I go)
When I go
(When I go)
When I go
When I go round baby
(When I go)
When I go
(When I go)
When I go
(When I go)
When I go
When I go

“Who knew” - Pink

You took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you’d be around
Uh huh
That’s right
I took your words
And I believed
In everything
You said to me
Yeah huh
That’s right

If someone said three years from now
You’d be long gone
I’d stand up and punch them out
Cause they’re all wrong
I know better
Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew

Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no
No no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you friend
I’d give anything

When someone said count your blessings now
‘fore they’re long gone
I guess I just didn’t know how
I was all wrong
They knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew

Yeah yeah
I’ll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
Until we
Until we meet again
And I won’t forget you my friend
What happened

If someone said three years from now
You’d be long gone
I’d stand up and punch them out
Cause they’re all wrong and
That last kiss
I’ll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes
It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep
Your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling
Who knew
My darling
My darling
Who knew
My darling
I miss you
My darling
Who knew
Who knew

 

“Rich Girl” - Gwen Stefani featuring Eve

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

[2x]

 

If I was a rich girl (na, na….)

See, I’d have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl

No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end

Cause I’d have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl

Think what that money could bring

I’d buy everything

Clean out Vivienne Westwood

In my Galliano gown

No, wouldn’t just have one hood

A Hollywood mansion if I could

Please book me first-class to my fancy house in London town

All the riches baby, won’t mean anything

All the riches baby, won’t bring what your love can bring

All the riches baby, won’t mean anything

Don’t need no other baby

Your lovin’ is better than gold, and I know

If I was rich girl (na, na…)

See, I’d have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl

No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end

Cause I’d have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl

I’d get me four Harajuku girls to (uh huh)

Inspire me and they’d come to my rescue

I’d dress them wicked, I’d give them names (yeah)

Love, Angel, Music, Baby

Hurry up and come and save me

All the riches baby, won’t mean anything

All the riches baby, won’t bring what your love can bring

All the riches baby, won’t mean anything

Don’t need no other baby

Your lovin’ is better than gold, and I know

[Eve]

Come together all over the world

From the hoods of Japan, Harajuku girls

What, it’s all love

What, give it up

What (shouldn’t matter 4x), what

Come together all over the world

From the hoods of Japan, Harajuku girls

What, it’s all love

What, give it up

What (shouldn’t matter 4x)

What happened to my life

Turned upside down

Chicks that blew ya mind, ding, it’s the second round

(Original track and ting, mmm)

You know you can’t buy these things (no)

See Stefani and her L.A.M.B., I rock the Fetish

People, you know who I am

Yes ma’am, we got the style that’s wicked

I hope you can all keep up

We climbed all the way from the bottom to the top

Now we ain’t gettin’ nothin’ but love

If I was rich girl (na, na…)

See, I’d have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl

No man could test me, impress me, my cash flow would never ever end

Cause I’d have all the money in the world, if I was a wealthy girl

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na

“Running” - Evermore

too many words
too many lies
i cant quite see the truth
when i look into your eyes

Bridge:
i feel im could
and i know i should
step away turn around
let my feet hit the ground
…running, running, running, running…

Chorus:
you dont need a broken heart
to know one can be broken
you just need to open your eyes.. yeah
we dont need to be decieved
to know a lie can be spoken
we dont have to learn everything twice

I dont know
I really dont know
If this castle in the sand
is strong enough to stand

Bridge:
i feel im could
and i know i should
step away turn around
Let my feet hit the ground
…running, running, running, running…

Chorus:

…running, running, running, running…

Chorus:

Ugly - Sugababes

When I was 7
They said I was strange
I noticed that my eyes and hair weren’t the same
I asked my parents if I was OK
They said you’re more beautiful
And that’s the way they show that they wish
That they had your smile
So my confidence was up for a while
I got real comfortable with my own style
I knew that they were only jealous cos

People are all the same
And we only get judged by what we do
Personality reflects name
And if I’m ugly then
So are you
So are you

There was a time when I felt like I cared
That I was shorter than everyone there
People made me feel like life was unfair
And I did things that made me ashamed
Cos I didn’t know my body would change
I grew taller than them in more ways
But there will always be the one who will say
Something bad to make them feel great

People are all the same
And we only get judged by what we do
Personality reflects name
And if I’m ugly then
So are you
So are you

People are all the same
And we only get judged by what we do
Personality reflects name
And if I’m ugly then
So are you
So are you

Everybody talks bad about somebody
And never realises how it affects somebody
And you bet it won’t be forgotten
Envy is the only thing it could be

Cos people are all the same
(The same, the same)
And we only get judged by what we do
(What we do, yeah, yeah)
Personality reflects name
And if I’m ugly then
(Yeah, you)
So are you
So are you

People are all the same
(Oh, oh, oh)
And we only get judged by what we do
(What we do, yeah)
Personality reflects name
And if I’m ugly then
(Yeah, so are you)
So are you
So are you

MercyMe - So Long Self
From the album Coming Up To Breathe

Well if I come across a little bit distant
It’s just because I am
Things just seem to feel a little bit different
You understand

Believe it or not but life is not apparently
About me anyways
But I have met the One who really is worthy
So let me say

Chorus:
So long self
Well it’s been fun, but I have found somebody else
So long self
There’s just no room for two
So you are gonna have to move
So long self
Don’t take this wrong but you are wrong for me farewell
Oh well, Goodbye, don’t cry
So Long Self

Stop right there because I know what your thinking
But no we can’t be friends
And even though I know your heart is breaking
This has to end

And come to think of it the blame for all of this
Simply falls on me
For wanting something more in life than all of this
Oh, can’t you see

Chorus:

(4x’s)
Farewell, Goodbye
Oh so long self

Mat Kearney - Nothing left to lose 

Something’s in the air tonight
The sky’s alive with a burning light
You can mark my words something’s about to break

And I found myself in a bitter fight
While I’ve held your hand through the darkest night
Don’t know where you’re coming from but you’re coming soon

[bridge]
To a kid from Oregon by way of California
All of this is more than I’ve ever known or seen

[chorus]
Come on and we’ll sing, like we were free
Push the pedal down watch the world around fly by us
Come on and we’ll try, one last time
I’m off the floor one more time to find you
And here we go there’s nothing left to choose
And here we go there’s nothing left to lose

So I packed my car and I headed east
Where I felt your fire and a sweet release
There’s a fire in these hills that’s coming down
And I don’t know much but I found you here
And I can not wait another year
Don’t know where you’re coming from but you’re coming soon

[bridge]

[chorus]

I can still hear the trains out my window
From Hobart Street to here in Nashville
I can still smell the pomegranates grow
And I don’t know how hard this wind will blow
Or where we’ll go

[chorus]

Savin’ Me - Nickelback

Prison gates won’t open up for me
On these hands and knees I’m crawlin’
Oh, I reach for you
Well I’m terrified of these four walls
These iron bars can’t hold my soul in
All I need is you
Come please I’m callin’
And oh I scream for you
Hurry I’m fallin’, I’m fallin’

[Chorus:]
Show me what it’s like
To be the last one standing
And teach me wrong from right
And I’ll show you what I can be
Say it for me
Say it to me
And I’ll leave this life behind me
Say it if it’s worth saving me

Heaven’s gates won’t open up for me
With these broken wings I’m fallin’
And all I see is you
These city walls ain’t got no love for me
I’m on the ledge of the eighteenth story
And oh I scream for you
Come please I’m callin’
And all I need from you
Hurry I’m fallin’, I’m fallin’

[Chorus]

Hurry I’m fallin’

All I need is you
Come please I’m callin’
And oh, I scream for you
Hurry I’m fallin’, I’m fallin’, I’m fallin’

[Chorus]

Hurry I’m fallin’

Wherever We Go - Newsboys

Wherever we go the bluebirds sing
And flowers bloom and the grass gets green
It’s a curious thing, but it’s just our thing
Wherever we go the bees behave
In the treetops squirrels smile and wave
It’s a curious thing, and it’s humbling

Where we go, little glow worms glow
Little roadrunners run ahead
Gonna tell their friends, little mice little men
Get them all excited, all invited

Hands up, holler back here
Let’s throw this party in gear
We brought the welcome mat.
Wherever we go, that’s where the party’s at
Hands up, holler back now
We don’t claim any know how
We’ve given God all that
Wherever we go, that’s where the party’s at

Wherever we go the dumb get wise
And the crime rates drop and the markets rise
It’s a curious thing, but it’s just our thing
Bullies make nice, crooks repent
And the Ozone layer shows improvement
It’s a curious thing, and it’s humbling

Where we’re led, all the livin’ dead
Want to leave their zombie mob
It’s a touching scene where they all come clean
God help us, we just love our job.

Hands up, holler back here
Let’s throw this party in gear
We brought the welcome mat.
Wherever we go, that’s where the party’s at
Hands up, holler back now
We don’t claim any know how
We’ve given God all that
Wherever we go, that’s where the party’s at

High, throw your hands up, throw your hands up high
High, throw your hands up, throw your hands up high

This is the message we spread
Bringing life to the dead
This is the gospel expo
Follows wherever we go
This is the message we spread
Bringing life to the dead
This is the good news expo
Follows wherever we go

Hands up, holler back here
Let’s throw this party in gear
We brought the welcome mat
Wherever we go, that’s where the party’s at
Hands up, holler back now
We don’t claim any know how
We’ve given God all that
Wherever we go, that’s where the party’s at

“I’m Not Missing You” - Stacie Orrico

Oh, Oh
Im not missing you
Been through just about everything that I could go through
When it comes to relationships
Dont know what I was missing or why I aint listen
When I told myself that was it
Now here I go, hurt again
Cause of my curiousity
Now that its over
What else could it be he just had to cheat

I made a promise never to settle
Why didnt I keep it?
Cause I hated the heartbreak
Crying and cheating, the fooling around

[Chorus]
(But) Im not missing you
Im not going through the motions
Waiting and hoping you call me
Im not missing you
You might have had me open
But I must be going because
I got life to do
I know Im usually hanging on
I used to hate to see you gone
But this time its different
I dont even feel the distance
Im not missing
Im not missing you

Its a shame in a way cause
I feel that I may not ever find the right one for me
Did I leave him, is he right in front of my face oh
Will my true love ever be?
Why would I go on a search again
When I know what the end will be
What good is love when it keeps on hurting me?

I made a promise never to settle
Why didnt I keep it?
Cause I hated the heartbreak
Crying and cheating, the fooling around

[Chorus x2]

No I cant be with you
Cause I’m scared felt like I was falling when you left me
I cant keep going through life
Unaware of what I missed
And the person I could be
Love’s good when its right
And when it’s left in your memory
All the times I let you down
I guess love will be nice for someone elses life

[Chorus]

Im not going through the motions
Waiting and hoping you call me
You might have had me open
But I must be going because
I know Im usually hanging on
I used to hate to see you gone
Oh different, feel the distance
Im not missing
Im not missing you
