"Letters from War" by Mark Schultz

She walked to the mailbox
On that bright summers day
Found a letter from her son
In a war far away

He spoke of the weather
And good friends that he'd made
Said I'd been thinking 'bout dad
And the life that he had
Thats why I'm here today
And that the end he said
You are what I'm fighting for
It was the first of the letters from war

She started writing
You're good and you're brave
What a father that you'll be someday
make it home
make it safe

She wrote every night as she prayed

Late in December
A day she'll not forget
Oh her tears stained the paper
With every word that she read

It said "I was up on a hill
I was out there alone
When the shots all rang out
And bombs were exploding
And thats when I saw him
He came back for me
And though he was captured
A man set me free
And that man was your son
He asked me to write to you
I told him i would, oh I swore"
It was the last of the letters from war

And she prayed he was living
Kept on believing
And wrote every night just to say

You are good
And you're brave
what a father that you'll be someday
Make it home
Make it safe
Still she kept writing each day

Then two years later
Autumn leaves all around
A car pulled in the driveway
And she fell to the ground
And out stepped a captain
Where her boy used to stand

He said "mom I'm following orders
From all of your letters
And I've come home again",
He ran into hold her
And dropped all his bags on the floor
Holding all of her letters from war

Bring him home
Bring him home
Bring him home

Hold Me-Jamie Grace. Best.Song.Ever.
(I love, I love, I love, I love the way You hold me)
(I love, I love, I love, I love the way You hold me)
(I love, I love, I love, I love the way You hold me)
(I love, I love, I love, I love the way You, the way Ya, the way Ya)

VERSE 1:
I've had a long day
I just wanna relax
Don't have time for my friends,
No time to chit-chat
Problems at my job,
Wonderin' what to do
I know I should be working
But I'm thinking of You and
Just when I feel this crazy world is gonna bring me down
That's when Your smile comes around

CHORUS:
Oo, I love the way You hold me,
By my side You'll always be
You take each and everyday,
Make it special in some way
I love the way You hold me
In Your arms I'll always be
You take each and everyday,
Make it special in some way
I love You more than the words in my brain can express
I can't imagine even loving You less
Lord, I love the way You hold me

(I love, I love, I love, I love the way You hold me)
Whoa oh oh oh oh
Oh Whoa I love the way You hold me
(I love, I love, I love, I love the way You hold me)
Whoa oh oh oh oh whoa
(I love, I love, I love, I love the way Ya)


Well Ya, took my day
And You flipped it around
Calmed the tidal wave
And put my feet on the ground
Forever in my heart,
Always on my mind
It's crazy how I think about You all of the time
And just when I think I'm bout to figure You out
You make me wanna sing and shout

CHORUS:
I love the way You hold me,
By my side You'll always be
You take each and everyday, Make it special in some way
I love the way You hold me,
In Your arms I'll always be
You take each and everyday,
Make it special in some way
I love You more than the words in my brain can express
I can't imagine even loving You less
Lord, I love the way You hold me
(I love, I love, I love, I love the way You hold me)
Whoa oh oh whoa
(I love, I love, I love, I love the way You hold me)
Oh whoa, I love the way You hold me
(I love, I love, I love, I love the way You hold me)
Whoa oh oh whoa oh
(I love, I love, I love, I love the way Ya)

BRIDGE:
I'm so grateful and thankful for all You've done
Wish I could tell You in a short story or poem
But, all I have is my voice and this guitar
And You have my heart

CHORUS:
Oo, I love the way You hold me, by my side You'll always be
You take each and everyday, make it special in some way
Oh, I love the way You hold me, in Your arms I'll always be
You take each and everyday everyday everyday...

I love the way You hold me, by my side You'll always be
You make each and everyday, oh so special
Oh, I love the way You hold me, in Your arms I'll always be
You take each and everyday, make it special in some way
I love You more than the words in my brain can express
I can't imagine even loving You less
Lord, I love the way You hold me
(I love, I love, I love, I love the way you hold me)
Whoa oh oh oh Oh
(I love, I love, I love, I love the way you hold me)
Oh whoa, I love the way You hold me
(I love, I love, I love, I love the way you hold me)
Whoa oh oh oh oh whoa
Oh, I love
(I love, I love, I love, I love the way you)
whoa whoa oh
(I love, I love, I love, I love the way you hold me)
whoa whoa oh
(I love, I love, I love, I love the way You hold me)
whoa whoa oh
(hold me, hold me...)

This is by Tom Felton (His amazing accent makes it sound so cool

) ~

And I was woken by the thought in my head
"Time to see the world
And get up out of this bed."
With feet to walk with and a little time to kill
I grab my guitar so I can go and chill
At Box Hill, Cardish, I will, won't stop till I fall asleep
I'll take my time and relax in the sun
Because I heard time flies when you're havin' fun.

And I've no idea where that day gone when
Yet I know that it's time well spent
And I've no idea where that day gone when
Yet I know that it's time well spent
Yeah...

And I remember sharing lips with her
The coming weeks were to be a blur
'Cause time with her is like no other
She can make a winter's day feel like the summer
And it's oh so nice to have her alone
'Cause you know I made her leave her mobile phone at home
The clocks ticking but I don't mind
Because there's no one else I'd rather share my time

And I've no idea where those weeks gone when
Yet I know that it's time well spent
And I've no idea where those weeks gone when
Yet I know that it's time well spent
So I'll sing…
Mmm.

Reminded of the time in 1999
I started a brand new school
Behaved, I'd be lying
'cause you'll be finding me 'round the back of that sport school
Takin' teachers through the bends with a little set of friends
Yeah, we're about as focused as a broken camera lens.
My first fight, my first fall for a girl.
You know, I wouldn't swap those two years for the world.

And I've no idea where those years gone when
Yet I know that it's time well spent
And I've no idea where those years gone when
Yet I know that it's time well spent
So I sing…
Mmm.

Strong Enough- Matthew West
(Can we put links?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBJwA0I8P-4

You must
You must think I'm strong
To give me what I'm going through

Well, forgive me
Forgive me if I'm wrong
But this looks like more than I can do
On my own

I know I'm not strong enough to be
everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not stong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough
Strong enough
For the both of us

Well, maybe
Maybe that's the point
To reach the point of giving up

Cause when I'm finally
Finally at rock bottom
Well, that's when I start looking up
And reaching out

I know I'm not strong enough to be
Everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not stong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough


Strong enough

Cause I'm broken
Down to nothing
But I'm still holding on to the one thing
You are God
and you are strong
When I am weak

I can do all things
Through Christ who gives me strength
And I don't have to be
Strong enough
Strong enough

I can do all things
Through Christ who gives me strength
And I don't have to be
Strong enough
Strong enough

Oh, yeah

I know I'm not strong enough to be
Everything that I'm supposed to be
I give up
I'm not stong enough
Hands of mercy won't you cover me
Lord right now I'm asking you to be
Strong enough
Strong enough
Strong enough

"Gone" by tobyMac

I told the girl that you should treat her like a lady and
She told me all the things you did and it was shady, man
She said that what you say and what you do are different things
While you were telling me that you were checking out them blingy rings

She said she's had enough
Well, it sounds to me like you're straight out of luck
And she said she's all through
And life's not blowin' her kisses thanks to you

I wanna know, wanna know what you were thinkin'
I can't imagine why it didn't even sink in
They say you never know what you got till it's gone
(Never know what you got till it's gone)
I wanna know, wanna know what you were thinkin'
I can't imagine why it didn't even sink in
They say you never know what you got till it's gone
(Never know what you got till it's gone)

She said she's had enough
So, it sounds to me like your still out of love
And she said you weren't true
And life's not blowin' her kisses thanks to you

She said it's gonna be alright
Cause God made a way through the pain and he opened her eyes
And she said you came crawling back
But after what you did to her she wouldn't have any of that

Hold On - By TobyMac


Wake up to the morning light
wipe away the lonely nights
let a brand new day wash over you,
Wanna see you smile again
show some love to your crazy friends
wipe your tears away
those days are through

If you move just a little bit closer you can put your head on my shoulder
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus:]
So baby hold on
just another day or two
I can see the clouds are
moving faster now
and the sun is breaking through
If you can hold on, to the one that's holding you
there is nothing that can
stop this crazy love
from breaking through

We're breaking through
We're breaking through

Wake up to the rising sun
thank the Lord for the
things He's done
lift your eyes up to the
hope that's ever true
Wanna see you smiling girl
you're a light in this jaded world
wipe away those tears
this one's for you

Come on, move a little bit closer, you can put your head on my shoulder
Yeah, yeah

[Chorus]

And the stars are up there
shining for you
oh, the Father does adore you
His love will never change
And you and I
we were born to follow
the hope that will lead us to tomorrow
and no one can take it away

So baby hold on
just another day or two
I can see the clouds are
moving faster now
and the sun is breaking through
If you could hold on
to the one that's holding you
there is nothing that can stop this crazy, crazy love from breaking [x2]

You see the clouds are
moving faster now
the clouds are moving faster

You see the clouds are
moving faster now
And the sun is breaking through

We're breaking through

Love this one

EH3, haven't heard that one before. I'm a fan of the album Alive and Transported, myself.
