It’s in your eyes
It’s in your silence
The way that you hide
With your well placed smile
I’m standing alone
Even when I’m beside you
Inside we know, this is where you belong
Don’t walk away, Don't walk away,
Don’t walk away, Don’t walk away,

I can almost see you standing there
With arms open wide He’ll call you near
Forever He’ll dry your eyes
Forever beyond these skies

Can I lend you my hand
My shoulder to cry on
I’ll give you my heart
It’s yours anyway
Don’t walk away, Don’t walk away
Don’t walk away, Don’t walk away

(Chorus)

2. Broadway

Silently she watches as the cars go by
The minutes turn to hours
And she tries not to cry
It seems no one remembered to come take her home
It’s been years now
Still she waits alone
A young boy begs for money
On the corner of the street
I see him almost everyday
But our eyes never meet
I wonder where you came from
I wonder where you’ll go
I wonder if you disappeared
If anyone would know

You were hungry
You were thirsty
You were lonely
And afraid
You were crying
And no one heard you
You were dying and no one came

I’ll never forget you
Your face is etched in my mind
You held out your hand
And I just tossed you a dime
Sitting on the sidewalk
With those eyes so blue
I’d give anything for another chance
Just to talk to you

(Chorus)

Father forgive me I know not what I do
When I walk through this life
When I walk right by you
These faces and memories, these places I’ve been
Lord, help me to see You when I see them again

(Chorus)

3. Stories

Looking into your life
Watching the pages unfold
Listening to the stories
knowing there's so much untold
I wish that they were just stories
The kind that you close up at night
I wish that they were just stories
But it’s over now
It’s going to be all right

So go ahead and dream
Go ahead and try
Go ahead and open your heart
Go ahead believe
Go ahead reach out your hand
Go ahead you haven’t gone too far

The first time that I saw you
You were sitting alone in the crowd
Walls within walls are falling
Falling down to the ground
So let me be your eyes for a moment
Let me tell you things you can believe
This story’s got a new ending and it’s far beyond
Your sweetest of dreams

(Chorus)

And I wish that they were just stories
The kind that you close up at night
I wish that they were just stories
But it’s over now
And it’s going to be all right

4. I Believe

My weakness, your strength
Your comfort, my pain
Your willingness, my fear
My indifference, Your tears

When Your tears were falling down
Only heaven’s ears heard the sound
When I couldn’t see
Your tears fell for me
You’re reaching out
I’m pulling in
I turn around
You forgive again

When Your tears were falling down
Only heaven’s ears heard the sound
Quietly my tears fell down
Only heaven’s ears heard the sound
I believe, Your tears fell for me
My emptiness, You’re filling
My brokenness, You’re healing
I believe

5. Words

So many poets, so many lines
Try to express the heart with the mind
Searching to find
The words to say I love you
Can you tell me where the courage goes
When I want to find the words to show you
How I feel, and all you mean to me

Your love is like the morning light
Like the first sun-break in a winter’s sky
And You cover me
With the innocence of a child

So many times, so many ways
I want to find the words to say
Just how I feel, and how I feel is that
I love you
I just don’t know where my courage goes
When I want to find the words to show you
How I feel, and all you mean to me

(Chorus)

Help me find the words
Help me take the time
Come and fill my heart, come and fill my mind
To love You, means everything to me

(Chorus)

6. Underneath It All

One day this will be my memory
And all my dreams will become real
The leaves on the trees
The wind blowing by
And all these feelings that I feel

Underneath it all, I’m waiting
Underneath it all, I need You here
Underneath it all, I’m watching
Underneath it all, underneath it all

If I were lifted to the mountains
With all my cares and fears below
There above it all
I would not be whole
Still I wouldn’t be with You

(Chorus)

I am waiting. I’m right here
I am watching. I’m right here

Words and Music: Sherri


7. Pedestal

I held you so high on a pedestal
When you fell you had a long way to go
When you fell how was I to know
That I’d fall with you

I held you too high

It’s a long way down
But finally I’m landing on solid ground
And that’s what it took for me

Who was I to think I could own you
I’m ashamed to say that I tried
If losing you is what it costs to love you
Then I’ll say good-bye

I held you too high

(Chorus)

It hurts me so to let you go
But I know I’ll be all right
Only God can hold this place
In our lives

How was I to know loving you
Would mean letting you go...

(Chorus)

I held you too high

Words and Music: Sherri


8. Wisdom Waits

I can drown in my dreams
Build my mansions on the sand
I’m asking You please
Interrupt my plans

So many times
I’m searching so hard
I look right passed the answer
Wisdom waits so patiently
For me to look to You

I go to the quiet
and close my eyes
And call Your name like the first time
Everything turns new
In the light of You

Feelings can get the best of me
Sometimes it seems they’re my
worst enemy
But far beyond what I feel or see
I have faith, I believe
In my heart, strong and sure
My peace in in Your words

(Chorus)

I wear Your words, they cover me
The sweetest song I hear them sing
On open streets or hidden hills
I hear Your voice, calm and still
The deeper, the farther, the longer I go
Listening and learning the language of the soul

So many times
I’m searching so hard
I look right passed the answer
Wisdom waits so patiently
For me to look to You

(Chorus)

I can drown in my dreams, build my mansions on the sand
I’m asking You please, interrupt my plans

9. Restore

Lead me beside
The water so still
Let me catch my breath
Let me drink my fill
Let me lie in fields of green
Where only gentle breezes blow
I’ll reach out my empty hands
For the cup that over flows

Restore my soul, Restore my soul,
Restore my soul, Restore my soul

I’ve stood too long here in these shadows
These valley walls are all I see
I need the skilled eyes of my Shepherd
Now my vision’s failing me

(Chorus)

Then I will run and not be weary
I will walk and not faint
I will soar with wings of eagles
In God alone is my strength

(Chorus)

Surely goodness and mercy
Will find their way
to me
And I will live with them forever
I will have no more need
The Lord is my Shepherd
He is my God
I will live with Him forever
I shall not want

Words: Sherri


10. His Eyes Never Close

When your race is reduced to a crawl
And your hands are weak from holding on
Keep your eyes fixed straight ahead
To the one who walked this way before you

Child stop weeping
God already knows
Even while you are sleeping
His eyes never close

Though the clouds may hide
The stars at night
Still I know, they haven’t lost their shine
Though the rains will come
So will the sun, God’s faithfulness
Is sure as the dawn

(Chorus)

So close you eyes
And rest a while
Don’t be afraid
Jesus has walked this way
Before you

(Chorus)

11. Peace

Peace, be still
Lay all your worries down
Be still, oh my soul
For our God, is in control

And if God is for us
Then whom shall I fear
And our God is for us
So lay down, be still
He is God
Hallelujah, or God has overcome
Hallelujah, our Lord, Jesus Christ has won
