Carry Me

When the nights grow long
When the days grow short
Come carry me
Come carry me
When the rains are come
When the storm clouds pour
Come carry me
Come carry me
When the music rings and the church bells sing
When the fog falls thick upon the road
When the lights are lit and the table's set
Come carry me into the light
Come carry me
When I'm on my own
Drowning in my dark
Come carry me
Come carry me
Ghosts of past they come
When all is dark and still
Come carry me
Come carry me
When the music rings from the mountaintop
When the fog falls thick around my head
When the candle's lit and the table's set
Come carry me into the light
Come carry me
Days will pass
Storms will cease
And I know the morning sun will rise oh
But in the night oh whisper please
Tell the tale of one who comes to make it right
To make it right oh
If I feel afraid
Want to shed this pain
Come carry me
Come carry me
Glowing through the fight
Growing steady bright
Come carry me
Come carry me
Come with wings of fire
Set the dark to flame
Come on the tail of all the loneliness inside
Feel my heart alight
Feel my soul on fire
Come carry me into the light
Come carry me
Come with wings of fire
Set the dark to flame
Come on the tail of all the loneliness inside
Feel my heart alight
Feel my soul on fire
Come carry me into the light
Come carry me

Lights

If we've got all this time
And the lights are shining in the night oh oh oh
If you're feeling alright
Sit yourself down darlin'
What a sight oh oh oh
Oh the city is buzzing
All the shopping and rushing
It's outta sight oh oh oh
And the music is playing
Makes your body start moving
Can you feel it oh oh oh
Oh let's make this really count
Let's make it really matter
Let's make this really count for something
Let's make it really matter
Oh oh oh
Since it's chilly outside
And the world's gone crazy
Let's step aside oh oh oh
I've got my heart in my hands
And since you're here with me
It's alright oh oh oh
When the beat gets me moving
Feel the rhythm come coursing through my body oh oh oh
Keep this feeling alive
Can't be stopping this grooving for nobody oh oh oh
Oh let's make this really count
Let's make it really matter
Let's make this really count for something
Let's make it really matter
Oh oh oh
And if we can keep this year a little bit lighter
Keep the bustle and madness at bay
Keep our eyes set
On the lights
On the lights
On the lights

Come Through the Gate

Come through the gate for the rumours are true
Come see the flowers that grow here for you
Keep by the wall for the glory is near
Still you will sit for the maker is here
The darkness has come and it's clear by your side
The thickness of night is a storm you must ride
The promise of day comes on wings of the dawn
The light burns a word on the walls of your heart
The light burns a word on the walls of your heart
The hope of a child is true steady flame
Of God and of man; once a keeper now changed
Your heart must unfold; it must learn how to sing
Of Christ as a babe and the hope that he brings
Of Christ as a babe and the hope that he brings
If he who is come was the promise of day
If longing and sorrow are promised away
Then who would be one to give all that he has
The Christ child was born to unleash love at last
The Christ child was born to unleash love at last

Into the Forest

Into the forest you came
You came
Stole into our wilderness
Speaking your name
The darkness was thick
Black like silence
Black like silence
And you
You sung over us
Sung over us
Into the darkness you came
You came
Spoke into nighttime
Your name
Your name
The song it was sweet when it fell
When it fell
Out of your mouth
The darkness is aglow with you
