You Are

Lyrics: Chris Janz, Jeannette Petkau Music: Chris Janz

My eyes have seen of Your perfect love
Sometimes it's still a surprise to me
My hand has known of Your perfect touch
Each day always reminds me

CHORUS:
You are, the strength to my weakness
You are, the passion I need
You are, the way to my freedom
You are, everything to me

My soul has seen of the gifts You bring
Sometimes, I feel like I'm dreamin' it
You came, and showed my heart how to sing
I can't, help but believing

CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
I was blind You gave me sight
I was lost You gave me light
You are everything I need
You are everything to me

CHORUS: (Repeat)

TAG: Your everything to me (Repeat)

Take Me Away

Lyrics & Music: Chris Janz

There comes a time in everyone's life
When the truth breaks your heart
And the weight of the world
Comes crashing down, and tears apart
Just when I think that I can't take it
My sleeping soul begins to waken

CHORUS:
You take me away
You take me away
There comes a time in everyone's life
When you just can't go on
And you'd give anything to have one solitary place
Where you belong
Just when I think I've been forsaken
My weary soul begins to waken

CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
I am waiting for You, come and be my strength
I am longing for You, You take me away

CHORUS: (Repeat)

I Wish I Was Perfect

Lyrics: Chris Janz, Jeannette Petkau Music: Chris Janz

I woke up this morning, feeling strangely rested
Only to discover I was 3 hours late
Had this funny feeling - there was something that I was forgetting
An' I thought to myself, It's gonna be one of those days - YA AH
I drove to the doctor for some help with my condition
Got out of the car and it started to rain
I reached for my umbrella - saw the keys in the egnition
An' I thought to myself, it's gonna be one of those days - YA AH

CHORUS:
I wish I could be a super model
Have my ducks lined up in a row
Just one day without a world of trouble
Just one day where I was in control
I wish I was perfect

I went to see my baby, feelin' strangely restless
Nervous as a wreck, and I didn't know why
Then like electricity I knew what I had been forgetting
My baby flew at one - and I was his ride - UH-OH
Life has a funny way of twistin' and turnin'
All in all, a pretty big ride
We're all gonna get there - but if I was perfect
Maybe there's a chance that I'd get there on time - YA AH

CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
But if I was perfect
I guess I'd still be blue
Cause if I was perfect
Then I wouldn't need You
I wouldn't need You

INSTRUMENTAL:
CHORUS: (Repeat)

TAG: I wish I was perfect (Repeat)

All I've Been Waiting For

Lyrics: Chris Janz, Jeannette Petkau Music: Chris Janz

It seems like I've been searching, all my life
To find some place
A prisoner of my selfishness, I prayed for some release
Broken by my foolishness, I looked for consolation
But in Your promises I found, all that this world had taken
Stay with me

CHORUS:
When I come to rest forever in your arms at heaven's door
I will finally see a place where I will never want for more
You're all I've been waiting for

It seems like I've been waiting all my life, to know Your face
Sometimes I can't take it, it just seems so far away
So until I rest with You, I'm dreaming of the day
When the hope I've found in You, becomes the life I crave
Come to me.

CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
INSTRUMENTAL:


CHORUS:

When I come to rest forever in your arms at heaven's door
I will finally see a place where I will never want for more
You're all I've been waiting ~ You're all I've been waiting
You're all I've been waiting for

Trust Beyond Reason

Lyrics: Chris Janz, Jeannette Petkau Music: Chris Janz

In my life I have traveled many roads
I've had my share of pain
But through it all, I never was aline
I never lost the faith ~ In my life there have been times I can't explain
What keeps me goin' strong
and I guess at the end of the day
You're the one who I can always count on
I don't need no mathetics
'To tell me this love's fantastic - AN'

CHORUS:
You gave me trust beyond reason
No way, I'll ever stop believing
know, it's more than a feeling
I've gotta trust beyond reason

In my life there've been many things I've seen
I've had my share of doubts
But there 's somethin' in the way You look at me
That throws my unbelief out
There will always be people on the way
Who need their share of proof
But I guess at the end of the day
All I need is a little bit of You
Don't need philosophy, to know
You're love for me - AN'

CHORUS: (Repeat)

BRIDGE:
INSTRUMENTAL:


CHORUS: (Repeat)

TAG: Trust beyond reason

Power To Change

Lyrics: Chris Janz, Jeannette Petkau Music: Chris Janz

I was heading straight for the middle of nowhere
A fifty thousand mile, dead-end road
I kept on thinkin' I'd find joy around the corner
Only to realize that I wasn't even close
I was stuck and goin' crazy, nothin' I could do would save me

CHORUS:
An' you broke the chains
You were the words that I couldn't say
An' You saw my pain, an' You
gave me the power to change
2x Gave me the power to change

I was stuck inside these walls that I have fashioned
A captive to myself and I don't even care
And then one day I found I had a revelation
I knew there must be more, but I just don't know where
I was stuck and goin' crazy, nothin' I could do would save me

CHORUS:

BRIDGE:

I was lost in the darkness of the mind
Searching for answers that I could never find
I tried so many things, but it always was the same
Until you came along, gave me the power to change

REFRAIN:
I was stuck and goin' crazy, nothin' I could do would save me

CHORUS: (Repeat)

TAG:
Gave me the power to change (Repeat)

Maria

Lyrics: Chris Janz, Jeannette Petkau Music: Chris Janz

In the night, alone and afraid
She walks the street plying her trade
Wondering, where she went wrong
She walks the street, praying for dawn
In the night, lost and confused
All her life, broken and bruised
Wondering, if things will ever change
She hears a voice, calling her name

CHORUS:
Come to Me, I am the One
Who makes your nights, bright like the sun
Come to me, I am the love your cryin' for
Like desert for rain ~ In my arms, You'll find a way
I'm the one, calling your name
Maria, Maria

A frightened girl, 14 years old
A frightened girl, out in the cold
All she knows, is the heartache and tears
What a tragedy for 14 years
A frightened girl, with nowhere to go
Now the street is what she calls home
In her heart, desperately praying
Maria, can't you hear Him saying

CHORUS:

TAG: Maria (Repeat)



Dry-Land

Lyrics: Chris Janz Music: Chris Janz

40 days, 40 nights, been steering this ship of mine
40 days, no land in sight, nothin' but rain all this time
Take me away from this place ~ Nothin' but grey skies for days
40 days, 40 nights, how much more can I take
Looking up at the big black sky
Hoping the clouds will break
Praying to God to guide my way
Take me across, this sea of rage

CHORUS:
I'm searching for dryland
Across this sea on a distant shore
You are the island on this ship of mine
That I'm sailing for
Late at night, on the big black sea
I can't help feeling alone
my present course is a mystery
There's land on there, but where God only knows
But strangely there's a peace in the storm ~ In this ocean, You are the shore

CHORUS: (Repeat)

TAG: Searching for dryland (Repeat)

Wrapped In Your Love

Lyrics: Chris Janz, Jeannette Petkau Music: Chris Janz

Let the rain come pourin' down on me
let the fires burn
let me swim into the raging sea
I am safe secure
Let the heavens thunder, stars collide
Falling from above
I am safe here standing by Your side
Wrapped in Your love

CHORUS:
Like a child, in the arms of a father I'm wrapped
In Your love like a tender caress
Like the quiet surrender, inside of a lovers touch
Like a passionate kiss
I'm wrapped in Your love

I could be a million miles away
Not a light to guide me
I could be abandoned and afraid
You would be the eyes to me
I could be uncertain where to go
Out of time and out of luck
But whatever comes I will always know
I'm wrapped in Your love

CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
INSTRUMENTAL:


CHORUS:
Like a child, in the arms of a father I'm wrapped
In Your love like a tender caress
Like the quiet surrender, inside of a lovers touch
Like a passionate kiss
I'm wrapped in Your love
(Repeat 2x)

TAG:
I'm wrapped in Your love (Repeat)

My Life For You

Lyrics: Chris Janz Music: Chris Janz

If I could speak a thousand words, write them down for all to see
I could never truly say, how much You mean to me
If I could write a thousand songs, to tell about Your wondrous love
I could sing a thousand years, and still not sing enough

CHORUS 1:
All of time would never be sufficient
To tell of all the beauty you have given
Because there's nothing I can do
I'll live my life for You

If I could work in miracles, If I could heal with just a touch
I would still be showing just a shadow of Your love
If I was a prisoner, or if I was a head of state
You would look inside my heart
And love me just the same

CHORUS 2:
All the books that ever have been written
Could never tell the wonders You have given
Because there's nothing I can do
I'll give my life for You

BRIDGE:

CHORUS 1:

TAG:
Because there's nothing I can do
I'll live my life for You
