CHORUS

No one does the things my Lord can do
No one does the things my Lord can do
He knows you in the womb
He meets you in the tomb
No one does the things my Lord can do

VERSE ONE
At the wedding water turned to wine
All creation listens to his word
Food for one can feed 5000 fine
Math and science bow to serve the Lord

VERSE TWO
Woman touched his robe and she got clean
Those who were tormented got set free
The lepers and the paralyzed got healed
Blind man washed his face and he could see

VERSE THREE
Wind and water follow his command
Peter walked across the rolling wave
Jairus' daughter sat up in her bed
Lazarus did step out of the grave

Track 2: Jesus Gave A Sign

Verse
A party down at Cana
Jesus and his friends
But the wine ran out at the party
Was the celebration at an end?

Jesus' mama pointed out
Six empty jars at the side
Jesus had to fill em' with water
Then he turned the water into wine

Chorus
Jesus gave a sign
Jesus gave a sign of glory
Jesus gave a sign
Jesus gave a sign to point to faith

Verse
Jesus always had a way
Of noticing what people needed
Sometimes he gave what they asked for
And sometimes more than they believed

Chorus
Jesus gave a sign
Jesus gave a sign of glory
Jesus gave a sign
Jesus gave a sign to point to faith

Bridge
He turned the water into wine
Sometimes a miracle is what we need
So the people would know his love and believe

Chorus
Jesus gave a sign
Jesus gave a sign of glory
Jesus gave a sign
Jesus gave a sign to point to faith

Chorus
Calm the storm, calm the storm
Tell the wind and the sea to be peaceful
Calm the storm, calm the storm
Bring us safe to the shore
Calm the storm

Verse 1
When the evening had come
We set out on our boats
Far across the wide open sea
A great windstorm arose
And the waves crashed around
But the Teacher had fallen asleep

Verse 2
He awoke to our cries
And he spoke to the skies
And the water was smooth as a mirror
In the stillness he called
Saying "Where is your faith?
I am with you. You have nothing to fear."

On the way to Jerusalem

On the way to Jerusalem
Ten lepers saw Jesus and shouted to him

Jesus, Master, have mercy on us
Jesus, Master, have mercy on us
Jesus, Master, have mercy on us
They knelt before him in the dust

Jesus, heal us
Jesus, heal us
Jesus, heal us
Have mercy on us

Show yourselves to the priests he said
Show yourselves to the priests he said
Show yourselves to the priests he said
And as they went, they were made clean

One of them, when he saw that he was healed
One of them, when he saw that he was healed
One of them, when he saw that he was healed
Ran back and knelt before Jesus

Lord, you healed me
Lord, you healed me
Lord, you healed me
Have mercy on me

Lord, you healed me
Lord, you healed me
Lord, you healed me
Have mercy on me

Were there not ten of you kneeling last time?
Were there not ten of you kneeling last time?
Were there not ten of you kneeling last time?
What became of the other nine?
Get up and go on your way
Your faith has made you well today

(p) 2004 Augsburg Fortress.

Don't weep, don't weep only believe
Don't grieve; you'll see Jesus is all you need

Little girl sick in bed everyone thought she was dead
Her father loved her so; he knew just where to go

Don't weep, don't weep only believe
Don't grieve; you'll see Jesus is all you need

To the savior he did run he said you're the only one
Who can make my heartbreak end
Touch her hand she'll live again

Don't weep, don't weep only believe
Don't grieve; you'll see Jesus is all you need

Jesus took her by the hand
He said you must understand
She's not dead she's just asleep
Then she rose up to her feet

Don't weep, don't weep only believe
Don't grieve; you'll see Jesus is all you need

Don't weep, don't weep only believe
Don't grieve; you'll see Jesus is all you need

Track 17: Firelight Theme Song

© 2001 Augsburg Fortress

We light the candle of faith and we know
A spark, a flame, and like the flame we grow

Firelight spin near and far
Stories tell us who we are

We learn so many things that teach us to glow
Light up the world the Bible tell us so

Firelight spin near and far
Stories tell us who we are
Stories tell us who we are

We are all different and we know that is good
We all are neighbors in this global neighborhood
We all have a story to tell
And we all have a question as well
The face of God is with us every day
We live, we learn and as we learn we pray

Firelight pulls us in firelight spin again
Firelight pulls us in firelight spin again

Burning Bush and Bethlehem Star
Stories tell us who we are
Stories tell us who we are
Stories tell us who we are
Stories tell us who we are
