Fingerprint

Take me to the mountains, to the heights of the tallest peaks.
Take me to the oceans, to the shores of the deepest seas.
Take me to the forests, to the home of the oldest trees.
Take me to the rivers, drawing lines in lands between.
And just let me be.
You have my heart, you have my hand.
So take me out into other lands.
They say there's bravery in searching.
So pick a map, and trace the lines.
There's something hidden for us to find.
And call it learning.
'Cause in all this I see the fingerprint of God.
Take me to the city, of the strangers I'll come to know.
Take me to the tower, up above a maze of streets below.
Take me to the island, of a fortress far from my home.
Take me to the ruins, of a people of long ago.
And just let me be.
I hear them calling.
The mountains are waiting.
My lust for wandering.
You have my heart, you have my hand.
So take me out into other lands.
They say there's bravery in searching.
So pick a map, and trace the lines.
There's something hidden for us to find.
And call it learning.
'Cause in all this I see the fingerprint of God.

Traveller's Prayer
04:30
|

|
Early morning, rise and go.
Out into the moonlit road.
Places ahead, ones you don't know.
A journey to have and soon make your own.
Although you don't know the fate of the journey ahead.
All things He knows and your life to trust in His hands.
So with Him all burdens and troubles you happily shed.
And I pray for safety on all these your travels and plans.
Traveler, traveler, traveler.
This is the way to go.
And venture down distant roads.
And as you go.
Until you're safe back home.
I'll pray for you.
I pray for the journey and also for something much more.
For great is this world but the people to treasure the most.
So try and bless others along each long road you explore.
And thankful for all this so help not your heart become closed.
Traveler, traveler, traveler.
This is the way to go.
And venture down distant roads.
And as you go.
Until you're safe back home.
I'll pray for you.
Past green humble fields and across mighty seas.
Through valleys of silence and mountains I plead.
Though wandering on, as you go.
Traveler, traveler, traveler.
This is the way to go.
And venture down distant roads.
And as you go.
Until you're safe back home.
I'll pray for you.

Stargazer

Stargazer, e'er wonder what this means.
The whole world and the flickering lights.
Thrown across the fields of space.
The day was four when all these lights came to be.
A great expanse filled by the Knower of all things.
And with a breath He placed the stars in the sky.
To be enjoyed some day below by widened eyes.
And know.
All His love, all His love.
All His love, all His love.
Is more than the stars, more than the stars.
Is more than the stars, more than the stars.
So.
Stargazer, e'er wonder what this means.
The whole world and the flickering lights.
Thrown across the fields of space.
Very good the best He saved for the sixth day.
Man from dust He formed his image in a way.
And then a woman made from nothing but a bone.
To be with man under the stars no more alone.
And know.
All His love, all His love.
All His love, all His love.
Is more than the stars, more than the stars.
Is more than the stars, more than the stars.
So.
Who can take Orion from his hunt.
Or beg the great bear to play.
Who could catch the eye of Venus.
Ne'er wonder what this means.
Stargazer.

Alpine
04:05
|

|
Silent at the feet of giants.
Moving slowly onwards.
Each bend and turn the road takes.
A new crest a trough a tear.
The bells in fields like church chimes ring.
From still ice waters your promise sings.
'Cause every high peak is a church spire tall.
And in my green pastures pine cones fall.
I feel as small as that unseen.
More humble than I've ever been.
And who could make such mighty peaks.
Or forge the wonders that I see.
The bells in fields like church chimes ring.
From still ice waters your promise sings.
'Cause every high peak is a church spire tall.
And in my green pastures pine cones fall.
So let's get lost in.
The heart of mountains.
Will you believe them?
To lift your eyes and see.
The bells in fields like church chimes ring.
From still ice waters your promise sings.
'Cause every high peak is a church spire tall.
And in my green pastures pine cones fall.
Pine cones fall.
