Lesson of Love
Ashley CLeveland - Lesson Of Love
Love so dear born to lay its own life down Came by here and called my name And I answered empty handed, I had no offering You took me as I am, you take me still And for the price my soul demanded, you gave up everything The world keeps turning Bridges keep burning I am learning the lesson of love Love like this is a mystery to me Judas' kiss is what I know With the passion of a father You pursue me to the end Faithful like no other All my days Your ways provides me comfort As your life invides my sins The world keeps turning Bridges keep burning I am learning the lesson of love Though every promise I've made has been broken Jesus remains reconciled Keeping every word he's spoken and marking every mile The world keeps turning Bridges keep burning I am learning the lesson of love
He Is
Ashley CLeveland - Lesson Of Love
Well He brought out the children of Israel He brought em out safely, brought em out well. But the children of Israel put Him to the test And they wandered forty years in the wilderness. He is the God of Abraham, Lion of Judah and the perfect lamb. He is the savior of all mankind, Raising up the dead, giving sight to the blind. The Son of God became the Son of man, The Word made flesh in a troubled land. A stumbling block to everyone He met He said, "You haven't understood about the kingdom yet."
He Is

04 There's a Light
There's a light, there's a light in the darkness
And the black of the night cannot harm ys
We can trust not to fear our comfort is near
Thre's a light, there's a light in the darkness
It will rain, it will rain in the desert
In the cracks of the plain there's a treasure
Like the thirst of the seed, we await, we believe
It will rain, it will rain in the desert
We will fly, we will fly, we will let go
To this world we will die but our hearts know
We'll see more on that side when the door opens wide
We will fly, we will fly,
We will fly, we will fly,
We will all go

05 Power in the Blood
Would you be free from the burden of sin?
There's power in the blood, power in the blood;
Would you over evil a victory win?
There's wonderful power in the blood.
There is power, power, wonder working power
In the blood of the Lamb;
There is power, power, wonder working power
In the precious blood of the Lamb.
Would you be free from your passion and pride?
There's power in the blood, power in the blood;
Come for a cleansing to Calvary's tide;
There's wonderful power in the blood.
There is power, power, wonder working power
In the blood of the Lamb;
There is power, power, wonder working power
In the precious blood of the Lamb.
Would you be whiter, much whiter than snow?
There's power in the blood, power in the blood;
Sin stains are lost in its life giving flow.
There's wonderful power in the blood.
There is power, power, wonder working power
In the blood of the Lamb;
There is power, power, wonder working power
In the precious blood of the Lamb.
Would you do service for Jesus your King?
There's power in the blood, power in the blood;
Would you live daily His praises to sing?
There's wonderful power in the blood.
There is power, power, wonder working power
In the blood of the Lamb;
There is power, power, wonder working power
In the precious blood of the Lamb.

06 Mighty Lord
He sends the lightning all across the sky
Sends the rain to a land that's dry
Speaks with thunder in a mighty roar
There's no one else like the mighty Lord
There's no one else
He puts the stars up in other space
Hung the sun and moon in perfect place
Spins the planets, let's the comets soar
There's no one else like the mighty Lord
There's no one else
He's the king of creation
He's the all powerful one
Nothing compares to him-nothing
He's the apex, the first born one
Churn the sea and make it boil
Make it bubble like burning oil
Turn the water white and let it roar
There's no one else like the mighty Lord
There's no one else
Bridge
He sends the lightning all across the sky
Sends the rain to a land that's dry
Speaks with thunder in a mighty roar
There's no one else like the mighty Lord
There's no one else
Nobody else like the mighty Lord
Nobody, nobody, nobody
The heavens declare his glory
The skies show the work of his hands
Day after day gonna talk about a story
Night after night shines on every man
-------------------------------------
07 You are there
There are so many words that I can't hear
In the poverty of my soul
Until the light pooled in my true love's tears
Now I know
If I will crawl up out of this barren land
Then I will crawl up on my own
I won't ride the shoulders of any man
But I am not alone
Chorus:
Where I cannot lift my eyes, you are there
Where I cannot find my ways, you are there
Where I cannot hold my tongue, you are there
Where I have no prayer, you are there
It's a lot like snakes ans ladders
I am swalloded every time
Trying to reach for something better
And find a peace that's mine
But I can't give myself a good talking to
And I can't fool this bitter pain
I'd like to quit this cave I'm walking through
But The pain remains
Chorus
I want to talk about resolution
I want to tie up every loose string
I want to tear down the instutitions
And lay hold of greater things
Where can I run from your presence
Oh you know my path so well
If I should rise up into the heavens
Or make my bed in hell
-----------------------------------
08 Enter His Courts
Words and music by Ashley Cleveland,
Kenny Greenberg, and Phil Madeira.
Fix your feet on the narrow path
set your heart on things that last
Count your days like blades of grass
Fading fast
Dust to dust we wax and wane
One alone remains unchanged.
CHORUS
Don't wait for the rocks to sing.
Let the cry of the people ring.
Enter His courts with praise.
Enter His courts with praise.
Bridge:
Come in your confusion, all you disillusioned
It's too lonely in seclusion -- come.
---------------------------------------------
09 Holy holy ho-ly
Holy holy ho-ly Lord God Al-mighty
Early in the morn-ing our song shall rise to thee.
Holy holy holy merciful and mighty
God in three per-sons blessed trinity.
Holy holy ho-ly
All the saints adore thee
Casting down their golden crowns around the flashing sea
Cherubim and seraphim
Falling down before thee
Perfect in power and love and purity
Holy holy ho-ly Lord God Al-mighty
All thy works shall praise thy name in earth and sky and sea
Holy holy ho-ly mercyful and mighty
God in three per-sons blessed trinity.
----------------------------------------
10 I know who I am
Scratch and scrape for significance
Cut and paste build your monuments
What a waste when it all caves in.
I have seen his mark in my fingerprints
I have felt his spark across the firmament
And while the world was still dark
I was known by Him
Engraved in the palm of his hand
I know who I am.
I know who I am.
But I lose my place and I come undone
Trying to hold my space, trying to be someone
In the wild goose chase that I run and run
But even in sinking sand
Chorus
In the presence of the lamb
I know who I am.

02 Salt and Light
By Ashley Cleveland, Kenny Greenberg,
Michael Rhodes, and Chad Cromwell.
Salt and light, salt and light
Like a city on a hill be salt and light.
Who will go, who will go?
Plenty are called, but who will go?
Here I am, I will go, feet and hands, body and soul.
You make an ordinary girl shine bright in a world that needs salt and light.
Fortune smiles, fortune smiles
On the land of plenty, fortune smiles
Thief at large, Thief at large,
Stealing us blind there's a thief at large
Here I am, I will go, feet and hands, body and soul.
You make an ordinary girl shine bright in a world that needs salt and light.
Judgment seat, judgment seat
It makes a good recliner, that judgment seat
Truth in love, Truth in love
It's a powerful thing to speak, truth in love
Here I am, I will go, feet and hands, body and soul.
You make an ordinary girl shine bright in a world that needs salt and light.

DESERT ROSE
Early Years
Lost in a windswept land In a world of shifting sand A fragile flower stands apart There in that barren ground You feel like the one Trying to serve Him with all your heart And you wonder, wonder Can you last much longer This cloud you are under Will it cover you Desert rose (desert rose) Don't you worry, don't be lonely Heaven knows, Heaven knows In a dry and weary land a flower grows His desert rose Sometimes holiness Can seem like emptiness When you feel the whole world's laughing eyes But if it's a lonely day Know you're on the Father's way He will hear you when you cry And He will hold you, hold you Your Father will hold you He will love you, love you For the things you do Desert rose (desert rose) Don't you worry, don't be lonely Heaven knows, Heaven knows In a dry and weary land a flower grows His desert rose Desert rose...
INDEPENDENCE DAY
Early Years - © 1980
-1-
Listen to our declaration
Listen to our testament
We've been given a revelation
We are sure of where we stand
So let the banner be unfurled
We've found the light of hope in a dying world
Hear the myth of modern man
You're the god of your own land
They call you weak, a spineless fool,
Say you've given up your right to rule
But I have been to the land of me
And I know I was never free
Freedom came when I gave it all away
CHORUS:
That's why I call it Independence Day
Call it Independence Day
Let the rockets blaze across the sky
Raise the flag of faith up high
Let the doubters call it what they may
It's Independence Day
-2-
The world can crown another hundred kings
They may call it slavery
But the biggest chain I knew was me
So let the idols tumble down
The walls of lies crumble to the ground
I know where salvation can be found
Let the idols tumble down
(Chorus)
So join us in the celebration
It's the birth of a holy nation
As people of light we are proud to say
That's why I call it Independence Day
Call it Independence Day
Let the doubters call it what they may
Call it Independence Day
Oh it's Independence Day

FLY EAGLE FLY
Early Years - © 1980
You've lost the hope, You've lost the green The fire has left your dream Do you not know? Have you not heard? Faith is a bird and it's wings are his holy word.. (Chorus) Fly Eagle Fly Hold your head high Soar upon the spirit wind Oh Fly Eagle Fly Up into the sky Ride the golden wings of morning And there is hope that won't pass away It's the power of the anti-grey You may grow weak, weary and worn But he'll make you strong For he's the lord of the endless one (Chorus) Fly Eagle Fly Hold your head high Soar upon the spirit wind Oh Fly Eagle Fly Up into the sky Ride the golden wings of morning Fly Eagle Fly (Repeat Chorus Twice More)
HOW MANY TIMES
Early Years - © 1980
Lord, got no more tears to cry
Someone has hurt me, done me wrong
(...) oh, oh, oh
Lord, this pain is a knife of fire
Why does it have to turn out this way
Why do the innocent seems to pay ?
How many times must I stand in the waves of this crashing sea ?
How many times must I forgive all the hurt that's been done to me ?
Let the journey go, set the sinner free
Whoo, ho, seventy times seven
Lord, really don't understand
I'm lookin' round for some stones to throw
You're telling me I should let it go
How many times must I stand in the waves of this crashing sea ?
How many times must I don't hear what You say inside of me ?
But I don't understand the mystery
Whoo, ho, seventy times seven
How many times have You (held ?) from anguish over all my sins ?
How many times have I nailed You up on the cross of pain ?
(Do bend ?) from a broken heart and I was to blame
Seventy times seven, over and over again
Seventy times seven, You Know just hard I have tried
Seventy times seven, You see that I'm hurting inside
Seventy times seven, don't You know that my pride is at stake ?
Seventy times seven, so tell me how much won't You take ?
Seventy times seven
Seventy times seven
