Come To The Water
Words and music by Marsha J. Stevens
1
You said you’d come
And share all my sorrows.
You said you’ll be there
For all my tomorrows.
I came so close to sending you away.
But just like you promised
You came here to stay,
I just had to pray.
2
Your voice tells me:
“Come to the water, stand by my side;
I know you are thirsty, you won’t be denied.
I felt every teardrop when in darkness you’ve cried.
And I long to remind you for those tears I’ve died.”

Change This Cold, Cold World
Author Unknown
1
All the old religion has burned out in me,
All the wide-eyed wonder of my youth.
God, relight the light that was put out in me,
Give me back some joy and hope and truth.
Refrain:
If there a Holy Spirit,
If there is a heavenly dove
I would like to see and hear it.
Change this cold, cold world with love.
2
Take away the doubts that toss and turn in me.
Give me answers I can use right now.
Let the brilliant flame of passion burn in me.
God, descend on troubled me somehow.
Refrain:
If there a Holy Spirit,
If there is a heavenly dove
I would like to see and hear it.
Change this cold, cold world with love.

Chance To Live
Author Unknown
1
The leaves are gold, the trees are bare,
The wind has blown in rage;
The sky is dark, the clouds are gray
And all the heavens seem to say:
Men’s life last but a short while
They shouldn’t wait no more;
There’s much to do outside of you
In this world.
2
You’re not alone just look around you
You have your brothers who need your love.
Why waste your love?
Why waste your life?
Why don’t you give yourself a chance to live
Coda:
You could be happy with heaven on earth
Why don’t you give yourself a chance to live.

Bring out the cymbals and the tambourines
And we'll have a holiday.
Shout out the Word of God with holy joy
And let our hearts be gay.

For we have heard the Holy Word of God
And His truth will set us free.
May the Word now comes alive in us
For all the world to see.
