Pack My Bags 04:30
Verse 1 Holes in my pocket, can’t give you no change I hear the whistle blow, sun is setting today 
Oh I work so hard but I still can’t pay the debts that I owe, oh no 
Yeah, I need some relief, but none seems to come my way
 Oh, gonna’ leave it all behind Chorus
 Whoa, pack my bags I’m gone 
Whoa, time to sing a new song
 I’m done with the fight ain’t looking back
 I’m on a one way track 
To the rising sun Verse 2 
When most played it safe, yeah I took a risk 
Tell me to “do what’s right” I did the opposite 
Sick of people tell me what to do, wanted to go my own way But I was a fool, now I want to be your fool today 
So now’s the time, gonna leave it all behind Chorus Whoa, pack my bags I’m gone 
Whoa, time to sing a new song
 I’m done with the night ain’t looking back 
I’m on a one way track 
To the rising sun Bridge 
Oh I need some light on my desperate situation I’m done with the night and its crazy confusion Go on past now, you get behind me
 ‘Cuz there’s a light ahead that’s calling out to me 
Gonna' set my suitcase down at your feet Gonna' march to a new drumbeat
 Said I’m gonna' lay my bags down at your feet ‘Cuz I’m marching to a new drumbeat, yeah Chorus Whoa, pack my bags I’m gone, I'm gone, I'm so gone
 Whoa, time to sing a new song
 I’m done with the night ain’t looking back, yeah 
I’m on a one way track, I said I'm done with the night ain't looking back 
I'm on a one way track, yeah To the rising sun

Satisfied 05:04
Verse 1 Wish sheʼd been a daddyʼs girl but/ He was never there/ She was short on attention so she/ Found it elsewhere/ Well they, told her she looked beautiful/ Yet they left her feeling ugly inside/ One day, with tears flowing from her big brown eyes/ She looked up and she cried...“I wanna be” Chorus A Satisfied Like a river of peace runninʼ over my soul Satisfied Stilled like a child at her mommaʼs side I wanna' be satisfied When the earth is shaking and the mountains give way Satisfied In the routine of the everyday Satisfied Verse 2 Small-town All-American, yeah, never short on friends/ business got him a nice house, a loving wife, and a Mercedes Benz/ Oh Lord, he worked so hard for this life/ Centered ʻround that elusive American Dream/ But when the lights go down he knows he wonʼt sleep/ Silently from inside he screams...“I wanna be” Chorus A Bridge (Iʼma sojourner-3x) I been on highways and down dirt roads/ Donʼt know where you been, but welcome to the crossroads/ Where every soul stands like a blues man/ With a six-string in hand and a life hanging in the wind/ She walked out, heʼs locked in/ Donʼt know where to go and they got nowhere to begin/ The dogs on their heels have led ʻem here, closer to the fire/ To give them ears to hear before they cut their wire/ They buried hope in the sand in a sun-scorched land/ Looking to be satisfied, when they need the Satisfier And a voice cuts through her life And a voice cuts through his night saying, “Everyone who thirsts, living water I give” And a voice cuts through her life And a voice cuts through this night saying, “Everyone who hungers, take eat and live” Iʼma sojourner (5x) Got hearts open To see you, yeah I found the missing piece And it's you! Oh, now I'm satisfied So now we're singing Chorus B: I'm satisfied/ Like a river/ Satisfied/ Stilled like a child/ I'm satisfied/ When the Earth is shaking/ Satisfied/ In the routine of the everyday I'm satisfied Guitar Solo Chorus B

Music Box 05:35
Verse I remember a girl in her childhood with dreams wrapped up in a gift She’s full of promise left to imagine what happened to life’s innocence Her daddy looked down and said “Take care of this music box, I made it special, it’s hand-crafted and there’s none other like it.” But where’s the music that was in my heart? Chorus I want to smile again but I can’t fix who I’ve become I need to find the one Who made me, the only way He’s my only chance to help me dance I want to hear the music Will you make me a new music box today? Verse The mirror’s broken the wheels rusted In that old music box The wood is tarnished the girl’s not dancing the sweet melody has stopped Years passed by, she lost the treasure careless with what she had got She traded beauty for fading pleasures left her broken like her music box. Designed with purpose, how’d I get so lost? Chorus I want to smile again but I can’t fix who I’ve become I need to find the one Who made me, the only way He’s my only chance to help me dance I want to hear the music Will you make me a new music box to play? Bridge oooh, You’ll make all things new oooh. Will you make me new? Oh, Jesus I need you, I need you to... Chorus I’m smiling again 'cuz I can’t fix who I’ve become, I’ve finally found the one Who made me, the only way He’s my second chance to help me dance [Repeat] I can hear the music 'cuz You’ve made me a new music box to play I'm hearing the music 'cuz, You made me, yes You made me a new music box today

Rain Down 04:35
Verse The more I see of you, the less I see of me Sun rays shining through, oh and my eyes begin to weep I see how far Iʼve fallen, and the helpless state Iʼm in But the clouds of Heaven are rolling in dry earth is opening, Dry earth is opening, this heart is opening/ So wonʼt you... Chorus Rain down, wonʼt you rain down on me I need your mercy wonʼt you let it flow, Only life in you thereʼll be Rain down, wonʼt you rain down on me Let the rivers flow from your mercy seat Iʼm here on my knees Verse Seeds dead lying in the ground, no life to be found Got no chance to make it on their own unless they lay their pride down ʻCuz I know if this seed's every gonnaʼ bloom itʼs gonna take the hand of God To turn my deadness into something bright, I need the wellspring of life, I need the wellspring of life, oh I need your life! So won't you... Chorus Bridge All this time with my hand to the plow Iʼve seemed to have lost my way One thing I know now it is all in vain if you donʼt....oh, if you don't...bring the rain! Interlude (3x) ohhh, Wonʼt you rain down on me Need your mercy, Your loving kindness, Oh wonʼt you rain down on me Chorus (2x) Tag Let the rivers flow from your mercy seat Iʼm here...on my knees

Verse I once was lost, was blind, was done I thought I had it, but I had none I wandered far away from the Son You left the 99 and found this one You left 99 and found this one Chorus You are an answered prayer On the wings of a morning dove Life's not fair, Hallelu But you're more than fair, oh Hallelu I thought I was beyond repair Then you rescued me, my answered prayer Verse It's been a long time since we said "I do" And the ages have passed us over and through Back then my bride, my bride now too And I would, I will, still oh, how "I do" And I would, I will, still oh, how "I do" Chorus You are an answered prayer On the wings of a morning dove Life's not fair, Hallelu But you're more than fair, Hallelu A gift of grace as light as the air Oh my Darling, my answered prayer Verse Greater gifts no one could have That we could be called your mom & your dad Born with a purpose, woven in love Miracles you are my daughters, my sons Miracles we are, his daughters and sons Chorus And you are an answered prayer On the wings of a morning dove Life's not fair, Hallelu But you're more than fair, oh Hallelu You have blessed me beyond compare Oh my children, my answered prayer My Lord and my God, you’ve answered my prayers

Verse I remember the day we said “I do” We had big dreams and a honeymoon, and I Wonder if we knew what we got into You took my heart and broke it in two But when I saw your heart bleeding, knew I did it to you, and I’m So glad we saw us through Oh there is another chapter for me and you Chorus I won’t let you ever go ‘Cuz our love is better than gold Refined by fire, so tempted to fold but I’m, With you, (I'm with you) 'Till the end (I'm with you 'till the end) Refrain I won’t let go Oh no, ohhh I won’t let go Oh no, ohhh Verse Life’s like an ocean, in so many ways Sometimes its crashing in furious waves but there’s A beauty in the rhythm when we sail Together our love is deeper and stronger, it grows The rain will pour and the winds will blow But I know that our love remains Oh oh we are, faithful- even through the pain, yeah Chorus Refrain (2x) Bridge Remember back when we started dating? I promised you that we were gonna' make it/ And through it all to be kind and patient/ but the status of love it's "complicated"/ 'Cuz good times come and good times go/ And you and I both felt the pull/ To walk out the door But I'm standing here now, and I ain't lettin' go/ So for better or worse I wanna' fight now to just stay the course/ And help me divorce my selfishness, yeah, this is love's war/ You makin' me a better man/ And what we could have is better than our Song of Solomon/ So take my hand and baby let's grow old together/ Chorus (2x) Refrain (3x) Last Refrain So let’s grow old together, ohhh oh I won’t let go oh no, ohhh oh (2x)
