        <![CDATA[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 praise you
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

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.

      <itunes:summary>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&#8232;
We live in a place that harbors bad and good&#8232;
How solid is the ground that we all must stand on?&#8232;
Striving every day to be understood...&#8232;&#8232;In a beautiful life&#8232;
When the planets are all aligned
&#8232;Though the water falls from the sky&#8232;
I can see the Beauty... in life&#8232;I can see the Beauty... in life&#8232;&#8232;
We look for the truth, hiding in the fiction&#8232;
We look for a path, but we need a guide&#8232;
Listen to your heart, can you hear it beating?
&#8232;Learning how to feel, happy we're alive
&#8232;&#8232;In a beautiful life 
&#8232;Where you choose to laugh or to cry&#8232;
When the water clears from your eyes&#8232;
You can see the Beauty... in life&#8232;
You can see the Beauty... in life&#8232;&#8232;
We need to have dreams, not just when we're sleeping&#8232;
We need to be free, break away the chains&#8232;
Open up your mind, are you really thinking?&#8232;
Can you be satisfied, with what still remains&#8232;&#8232;
In a beautiful life&#8232;
Where I'm free to live how I like&#8232;
When the water clears from my eyes
&#8232;I can see the Beauty... in life&#8232;
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&#8232;
Purposely aimless
&#8232;Me, feelin' so small, when I thought I'd lost it all
&#8232;Hopeless an' nameless
&#8232;&#8232;Then, out of the blue
&#8232;Holding me close to you&#8232;
You gave me hope when I needed it most&#8232;&#8232;
And I believe you believed in me&#8232;
Helped me and pulled me through&#8232;
And all that I had to do was to

&#8232;Call Your Name&#8232;&#8232;
I was alone, very very far from home&#8232;
Love was forsaken
&#8232;I couldn't go on, there was no-one there for me&#8232;
But I was mistaken (coz)&#8232;&#8232;
Then, out of the blue
&#8232;Holding me close to you&#8232;
You gave me hope when I needed it most
&#8232;&#8232;And I believe you believed in me
&#8232;Helped me and pulled me through&#8232;
And all that I had to do was to&#8232;
Call Your Name
&#8232;&#8232;(bridge)
&#8232;And if all my troubles should return I won't despair
&#8232;I'll be callin' out your name 'coz 
I know you'll be there&#8232;Right there for me
&#8232;&#8232;(inst)&#8232;&#8232;
And I believe you'll be there for me
&#8232;To hold me and comfort me&#8232;
And all that I have to do is to&#8232;
Call Your Name&#8232;

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
