1. Area 51 by Kelcie Exline, Clearwater, KS, USA
You may be wondering,
You may be wondering,
Why I look so different.
You may be wondering,
You may be wondering,
Why I don't fit in.
I'm an alien,
From a foreign land.
I'm an alien,
Moving in a new direction.
You may doubting, second guessing,
Wondering if I'm wearing a disguise.
But I tell you, you're not imagining,
This is my new identity.
I'm an alien,
From a foreign land.
I'm an alien,
Moving in a new direction.
Won't you come and join me?
Come and see,
The life that was meant to be,
Area 51 known as Zion.
Come and join me,
Come and follow me,
To a place known as Area 51.
Come and join me,
Come and follow me,
Become a child of Zion.
Won't you be an alien,
From a foreign land?
Reflecting God in words, thoughts,
And your actions.
Won't you be an alien,
From the Father's hand?
Reflecting God in words, thoughts,
And your actions.

2. Beauty by Elise MacPherson, South Windsor, CN, USA
We live in a world, full of contradictions
We live in a place that harbors bad and good
How solid is the ground that we all must stand on?
Striving every day to be understood...
In a beautiful life
When the planets are all aligned
Though the water falls from the sky
I can see the Beauty... in life
I can see the Beauty... in life
We look for the truth, hiding in the fiction
We look for a path, but we need a guide
Listen to your heart, can you hear it beating?
Learning how to feel, happy we're alive
In a beautiful life
Where you choose to laugh or to cry
When the water clears from your eyes
You can see the Beauty... in life
You can see the Beauty... in life
We need to have dreams, not just when we're sleeping
We need to be free, break away the chains
Open up your mind, are you really thinking?
Can you be satisfied, with what still remains
In a beautiful life
Where I'm free to live how I like
When the water clears from my eyes
I can see the Beauty... in life
I can see the Beauty... in life

3. Call Your Name by Jim Ferrie, Paris, FRANCE
There was a time , time when I would run and stray
Purposely aimless
Me, feelin' so small, when I thought I'd lost it all
Hopeless an' nameless
Then, out of the blue
Holding me close to you
You gave me hope when I needed it most
And I believe you believed in me
Helped me and pulled me through
And all that I had to do was to
Call Your Name
I was alone, very very far from home
Love was forsaken
I couldn't go on, there was no-one there for me
But I was mistaken (coz)
Then, out of the blue
Holding me close to you
You gave me hope when I needed it most
And I believe you believed in me
Helped me and pulled me through
And all that I had to do was to
Call Your Name
(bridge)
And if all my troubles should return I won't despair
I'll be callin' out your name 'coz
I know you'll be there
Right there for me
(inst)
And I believe you'll be there for me
To hold me and comfort me
And all that I have to do is to
Call Your Name

4. God's Love by Louie Cate, Alexandria, VA, USA
I had my dreams
You know I served them very well
I gave then all my nights and all my days
But now it seems
I'm just an empty shell
I'm lost with no direction in a maze
There's only one thing on which you can rely
When all your dream have died
God's love is stronger than death
When everything you live for
Shatters like the ways upon the shore
God's love is stronger than death
When all you think you understand
Slips away like sand through your hands
God's love is stronger than death
Stronger than death, I know
It's been a while
Since the last time I got on my knees
And prayed with all the passion in my soul
Too many miles
I stumbled to my Calvary
Not knowing I was out of control
Spent all my time with my eyes on a prize
That was only a pack of lies
God's love is stronger than death
When everything you live for
Shatters like the ways upon the shore
God's love is stronger than death
When all you think you understand
Slips away like sand through your hands
God's love is stronger than death
Stronger than death, I know
Should I find some new distraction
Take a spin in my corvette
Should I take a long vacation
Fly to Vegas make a bet
Should I get myself a hobby
Or count all my regrets
Only one choice will set me free
God's love is stronger than death
When everything you live for
Shatters like the ways upon the shore
God's love is stronger than death
When all you think you understand
Slips away like sand through your hands
It's been a while
Since the last time I got on my knees
And prayed with all the passion in my soul

5. LANDON'S PUZZLE
by Stephen Springfield, McKinney, TX, USA
He held a piece of cardboard, cut out and colored on one side,
It fits into a farmhouse scene I don’t quite recognize,
“Daddy” why is this piece so jagged”,
As he placed it in his hand,
He said, “Son, I know you can’t see it now, but it’s the puzzle-makers plan”.
And when we join the pieces together along with His design
We help to build the picture the Creator had in mind,
And the pieces will be so proud of what they never could’ve known,
Their purpose is more beautiful than any one alone.
Lord we know every child has got a purpose
In Your grand design
Suffer not the children to come to Jesus
Given such a very short time
We will meditate Your Word, and we’ll learn
Your heart and mind
But we only see this puzzle one jagged little piece at a time
These pieces of our lives that we turn over one by one
Never show the picture until all the work is done
And when we leave this world and meet with Jesus face to face
We’ll see the pieces that have blessed our lives forever fit into place
Lord we know every child has got a purpose
In Your grand design
Suffer not the children to come to Jesus
Given such a very short time
We will meditate Your Word, and we’ll learn Your heart and mind
But we only see this puzzle one jagged little piece at a time
I can force it, I can make it fit, I don’t want to let it go
Lord, let me see Your picture, let me know the things You know
Help me pick up all the pieces, and leave all the pain behind
There’s a piece I’m looking for I just can’t seem to find
Lord we know every child has got a purpose
In Your grand design
Suffer not the children to come to Jesus
Given such a very short time
We will meditate Your Word, and we’ll learn Your heart and mind
But we only see this puzzle one jagged little piece at a time

6. Legend by Damir Stasic, (Kickbend), Willow Springs, IL, USA
On a cold and silent night, in the midnight hour
When His eyes saw their first light, the people felt His power
He was raised to lead a life of hope
And died for yours and mine
A sacrifice for you and I, yeah he gave all for you and I
He's a legend, a hero,
He's a star in the sky
He can take you high where the angels fly
He's a legend, a hero,
He's a star in the sky
Let Him live in your life, there's still time
Now you sit thinking 'bout your life and the times you've had
While some things cut you like a knife, others ain't so bad
You can take those broken dreams of old
And throw them all away
Just close your eyes and dream again
Breathe new life into them
He's a legend, a hero,
He's a star in the sky
He can take you high where the angels fly
He's a legend, a hero, He's a star in the sky
Let Him live in your life, there's still time
(Solo)
He's a legend, a hero, a star in the sky
He can take you high where the angels fly
He's a legend, a hero, He's a star in the sky
Let Him live in your life, there's still time
Let Him live in your life, there's still time
Let Him live in your life, there's still time

8. Only One Wish by Takahiro Nakamine, Yokohama, Kanagawa, JAPAN
Oh lord Can I ask you just one thing
Oh lord I have only one wish
Oh father I was so bad a child
Oh father I've done many things wrong
But now
I wanna praise you
I wanna thank you
I wanna love you with my whole life
You make me smile, you make me laugh
And let me breathe, let me live
You let me touch, let me feel
And now father please, please let me love you
Ah please father, say yes
Oh lord Can you forgive me I have only one wish
Oh father I don't need anything else
'Cause I've already done so many things wrong
But now

I wanna thank you
I wanna love you with my whole life
You make me strong, you make me shine
And let me sing, let me pray
You let me think, let me learn
And now father please, please let me know you
Ah please father, say yes
My friends, now let's pray, pray to our lord

9. I’m on My Way by David Rebb Firman, Goshen, CA USA
I’m on my way to Bethlehem
To see the new born king
Shepherds speak of a guiding light
Of a savior born to us this night
Chorus:
Christmas reminds me I’m on my way
Wise men still seek him everyday
And the journey never ends
For peace good will to men
Well I’m on my way to hear him speak
He heals the sick and strengthens the weak
And with a child's fish and bread
Thousands on this day were fed
Chorus:
Well I’m on my way to Jerusalem
To see the King of Kings
But I saw a cross on Calvary
I knew that he had died for me
Chorus:
Well I’m on my way to Galilee
To cast my net upon the sea
I saw my lord walk on the sand
He broke the bonds of death for men

10. Take Us Away by Darren Speed, North Richland Hills, TX USA
Everyone I know is praying
Praying for peace
Everyone anticipating
look to the East
All this time we've waited
for You to come
Roll back the clouds and let us
see the Son
Chorus: When You coming to take us all away
I wanna look up and see Your Holy face
Oh come down, Oh come down, Oh come down, Oh come down
take us away, take us away
All this time one good promise
Kept hope alive
You said You would return
like a thief in the night
All this time we've waited
just to find
Roll back the clouds and let us
see You shine
Chorus
Chorus

11. Wanted by Kevin McSpadden, Sterling, TX USA
There's a young woman,
Lives down the street,
Working two jobs she's got
Three kids to feed.
Exhausted at night
She falls to her knees,
Desperate inside
She cries out her plea
And she doesn't want that much,
She just longs to know she's loved.
Chorus:
She wants to be wanted,
Wants to be heard,
Wants to find someone
To carry her burden
And I want to tell her
How much you care
How you gave her your son
And you made her your heir,
And she's wanted,
More than she understands,
She is wanted.
I know an old man
I see him around,
Addictions and heartaches,
Dragging him down.
He lives on the corner,
With no place to go,
Begging and living
In the hustle and flow,
And he cries out to the night,
He just wants a better life.
Chorus.
Everyone worries
Everyone fears.
Everyone is longing
To know that you're near.
Help us Lord Jesus,
Give us your light,
Pour out your Spirit,
Teach us to shine.
And we long to see your face,
Heal our hearts Lord we pray.
Chorus.
