2. "Fog on the Mountain"
Fog on the Mountain
Verse One:
Clouds formin’ round me; I…I’m losin’ ground
Feels like my soul is in the lost and found
Well, I….I’ve been watchin’ for a break in the clouds
Waitin’ for my second chance to come around
Chorus:
Cause there’s…
Fog on the mountain
Slowin’ me down
But I know I will find my way, way back home
Verse Two:
When I get to thinkin’…sometimes I think too hard
My thoughts bunch together and turn me all around
So, then I get to reachin’ for the One Who’ll take me through
I stop listenin’ to lies and hold on to Truth
Chorus:
Cause there’s…
Fog on the mountain
Slowin’ me down
Still I know that I’ll find my way, way back home
Bridge:
Reachin’ for the heartbeat of the one that made my soul
Spirit holds the throttle, God’s in control
Through the darkness & the shadows, I know I’m not alone
I’m slicin’ through the fog, my eyes on the road….
Chorus:
Cause there’s…
Fog on the mountain
Try-in’ to get me down
But I know that I’ll find my way, way back home
Fog on the Mountain
The Son in my soul,
And I’m listenin’ for His Voice
And that’s how I roll…
Refrain:
Fog on the mountain…
Nothin’ to fear
Fog on the mountain
I can feel Him near
Fog on the mountain- got no
Foggy mountain blues
Leanin’ into curves
And cruisin’ on through…..
Chorus:
Cause there’s’…
Fog on the mountain
As I roll down
Still I know that I’ll find my way, way back home
Fog on the Mountain
Son in my soul
And I’m listenin’ for His Voice
And that’s how I roll…
Fog on the mountain…Son in my soul…
Fog on the mountain; findin’ my way home…
Fog on the mountain….

3. "How Long Is the Night?"
How Long Is the Night?
Chorus:
How long is the night? How long is the hour,
When seconds are seared with memories of sorrow?
How long is the night? Ask someone who knows,
Someone who’s walked in the dark night of the soul
Verse One:
There’s a child somewhere, face pressed to the glass
Watchin’ her father disappear fast
Soon mornin’ and night will start feelin’ the same,
While she’s waitin’ for him to come home again…
Chorus:
How long is the night? How long is the hour,
When seconds are seared with memories of sorrow
How long is the night? Ask someone who knows
Someone who’s walked in the dark night of the soul
Verse Two:
There’s a mother somewhere or somebody’s wife
Who’s down on her knees, to pray for his life
For the one who is facin’
Things…no one should see
And while she bein’ his angel,
He’s bein’ her shield….
Chorus:
How long is the night? How long is the hour,
When minutes are filled with hopes for tomorrow?
How long is the night? Ask someone who seen.
Ask those who are wonderin’ if the heart can ever heal.
Chorus:
How long is the night? How long is the hour
When seconds are seared with memories of sorrow?
How long is the night? Ask someone who knows,
Someone who’s walked in the dark night of the soul
How long is… the night?

5. "Dedication"
Dedication
Verse 1:
We got the philosophy, so you know we got the ideals
We got the platitudes, but how can we make our love real?
We got the analyses, the charts and criticisms;
But how can we begin with ourselves and our basic decisions?
Chorus:
Dedication, practical application
Dedication, heart initiation
Verse 2:
We got the satellites, so you know we get the news
We got information, but we still need to learn how to choose
We see the atrocities exhibited on the media
Can mercy return as we give from our hearts?
Chorus:
Dedication, practical application
Dedication, heart initiation
Bridge:
What is the bureaucracy that binds up our resources?
Can we transform our beliefs and loose the binding forces
We have everything we need for our education
What we still could use is our dedication
Chorus:
Dedication, practical application
Dedication, heart initiation
Dedication, practical application
Dedication, heart initiation
Dedication
Dedication
Dedication
Dedication
Dedication….

8. "I’ll Give My Dreams to the Angels"
I’ll Give My Dreams to the Angels
Verse One:
Everybody’s had a broken heart over somethin’ in their life
Or a dream that seemed to slip away no matter how hard they tried
As for me, I always hoped that I would have the time I need
But a hush is falling all around and it’s getting hard to see
Chorus:
So, I’ll give my dreams to the angels
Angels can soothe my aching heart
I’ll trust my dreams to the angels
To shelter me from shadows of the dark.
Verse Two:
I’ve done the very best I could; I gave it everything
And I’d have given even more, with so much more to sing
It’s hard to know what still is mine or if I should let go
But Lord I know that You’re the One to shepherd my soul
Chorus:
So, I’ll give my dreams to Your angels
Angels can soothe my tired soul
I’ll give my dreams to Your angels
To guide me back to You when my time comes.
Bridge:
And if I had it all to do
Some way other than this
I still would choose the way of Love
For the sake of love not missed….
Chorus:
So, I’ll give my dreams to Your angels
Angels can soothe my tired soul
I’ll give my dreams to Your angels
To guide me back to you….
I’ll give my dreams to Your angels
Angels can soothe my tired soul
I’ll give my dreams to Your angels
To help me get on through
To guide me back to you….
To take me home to You when my time comes.
I’ll give my dreams to Your angels…

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
That saved a soul like me;
I once was lost, but now I’m found

And Grace will lead us home.

Bright shining as the sun;
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

Amazing Grace how sweet the sound
That saved a soul like me;
I once was lost, but now I’m found
Twas’ blind but now I see.
Twas’ blind but now I… see.

12. "Abide with Me"
ABIDE WITH ME

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide;
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me.

What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.

I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight and tears no bitterness;
Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.

Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies;
Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.

Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide;
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me.
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me.
