Cross it Out
Music and lyrics by Daniel Quinn
Cross it out
Draw a line through this.
Take it back
I won't do that again
Can I do this over?
Can I do this over again?
I take it back.
Eraser marks on cold black ink
can't change what's there
to what might have been
Can I do this over?
Can I do this over again?
I take it back.
And all your red bleeds through again
changing what I might have been.
How much longer will it take
to wash all of these stains away?
Can I do this over?
Can I do this over again?
I take it back.

Going Home
Music and lyrics by
Daniel Quinn
I do not belong here
I'm a stranger to this place
I do not speak the language
I don't know a single face
My life's a constant journey
An endless search for truth
I washed in from the ocean
The stone that finally moved
You say, "You have gone too far
But it's not too late.
Take My hand, don't be afraid.
Look around, you're not alone.
Come with Me, we're going home."
I've been down every highway
And every mile's the same
A million different cities
And they don't even know my name
Here I'm just e spectre
A shadow in the crowd
I push through all the madness
And You call my name out loud
You say, "You have gone too far
But it's not too late.
Take My hand, don't be afraid.
Look around, you're not alone.
Come with Me, we're going home."
And I see You in my dreams
And You're walking on the sea
You say "Come and follow Me."
And I'm home
You say, "You have gone too far
But it's not too late.
Take My hand, don't be afraid.
Look around, you're not alone.
Come with Me, we're going home."

Art of Self Defense
Music and lyrics by Daniel Quinn
Here is your precious act of war
Now let your weapons fly
Since you've convinced yourself that it was justified
It is all in self defense
Don't turn the other cheek
They'll have you on the ground
Don't let them see you're weak
They all will let you down
It is very very simple
Been made into an art
They will never get too close if I booby trap my heart
It's all in self defense
And I hear this talk of love
And I hear this talk of letting go
They say "Let down your guard"
But I'm just so far from home...

Change of Seasons
Music and Lyrics by Daniel Quinn
From the darkness
To the daylight
To the sunset
I'll remember this
From the sunrise
To the clear skies
Through the tempest
I'll remember this
You are still the same as you were yesterday
A change of seasons never changes you
You are still the same as you were yesterday
A change of seasons never changes you
From my rising
To my falling
Hitting the pavement, I'll remember this
From my going
To my coming back to the same place
I'll remember this
You are still the same as you were yesterday
A change of seasons never changes you
You are still the same as you were yesterday
A change of seasons never changes you
I am reaching out, I am reaching
I am calling out, I am seeking
To get up from my knees
And set my feet on a firm foundation
Can't keep building on sand
I will stand
And I'll remember this
You are still the same as you were yesterday
A change of seasons never changes you
You are still the same as you were yesterday
A change of seasons never changes you

Benediction
Music and lyrics by Daniel Quinn
Oh, what a shame
What a travesty
To open your door into tragedy.
I wish that I could heal you
With words I cannot find
May the grace of God be with you in these uncertain times.
Finding what's left from among the wreck
Piecing back hearts from the shattered mess.
I wish that I could heal you
With words I cannot find.
May the grace of God be with you in these uncertain times.
He is holding you tonight.
He is holding you tonight.
I wish that I could heal you
With words I cannot find.
May Jesus Christ be with you in these uncertain times.

Carry This, Too
Music and lyrics by
Daniel Quinn
And so you strain
Shoulders sagging beneath the weight
Your hope is hanging by a thread
You say you're strong
Stronger than they'll ever know
And you go on
Piling more on as you go
Until you give up, if you ever do
Until you're broken at the feet of love
Carry this too
You've got the world
I think it's slipping
From all the fear that you're gripping
Trust in yourself
Don't rely on anyone
Can you hold it all?
Can you carry it alone?
Until you give up, if you ever do
Until you're broken at the feet of love
Carry this too
Hope is not a heavy thing...
Hope is not a heavy thing...
Until you give up, if you ever do
Until you're broken at the feet of love
Carry this too
