1、People Look Around - Catie Curtis
Mississippi River divides this land in two,
Like the way we tend to think of things;
Black and white, red and blue.
If they can keep us fighting about marriage and God,
There抣l be no one left to notice if the leaders do their jobs.
And the truth is bigger than these drops of rain, falling.
The truth is bigger than these drops of rain,
Falling in the ocean, falling?
When the water is rising and there is no higher ground,
You can wave your hands up on the roof,
But you might be left to drown.
In the streets of New Orleans; a makeshift funeral pall,
Here lies Vera, God help us all.
And the truth is bigger than these drops of rain, falling.
The truth is bigger than these drops of rain,
Falling in the ocean, falling?
Jesus said, need the hungry,?Jesus said help the poor,?
?Take care of each other love one another,?
People look around.
We let them down.
Mississippi River flooded New Orleans,
And we stared in disbelief at our TV screens,
If they can keep us fighting another endless war,
How many tears before the truth cannot be ignored?
And the truth is bigger than these drops of rain, falling.
The truth is bigger than these drops of rain,
Falling in Lake Pontchartrain.
Falling in the ocean, falling?
2、Maria Arredondo - With Hope
This is not at all how
We thought it was supposed to be
We had so many plans for you
We had so many dreams
And now you've gone away
And left us with the memories of your smile
And nothing we can say
And nothing we can do
Can take away the pain
The pain of losing you, but ...
We can cry with hope
We can say goodbye with hope
'Cause we know our goodbye is not the end, oh no
And we can grieve with hope
'Cause we believe with hope
(There's a place by God's grace)
There's a place where we'll see your face again
We'll see your face again
And never have I known
Anything so hard to understand
And never have I questioned more
The wisdom of God's plan
But through the cloud of tears
I see the Father's smile and say well done
And I imagine you
Where you wanted most to be
Seeing all your dreams come true
'Cause now you're home
And now you're free, and ...
We have this hope as an anchor
'Cause we believe that everything
God promised us is true, so ...
So we can cry with hope
And say goodbye with hope
We wait with hope
And we ache with hope
We hold on with hope
We let go with hope
3、Cross Every River －－Maria Arredondo
As I sit here all quiet
Wonder why we’re apart
And the noise from the city
Cuts a hole thru the dark
As the nighttime is falling
And the day flies away
Can you hear me I’m calling
Can you hear me, I say
That I would cross every river
I would sail every sea
I would climb every mountain
If it could bring you back to me
I would part every ocean
I would catch every star
I would cross every river
To be right were you are
Baby lower your shoulder
And relax for a while
You’ve been running for ages
You have run all your life
But you know there will always
Be a part of you here
So wherever life takes you
You will always be near
And I would cross every river
I would sail every sea
I would climb every mountain
If it could bring you back to me
I would part every ocean
I would catch every star
I would cross every river
To be right were you are
Many things I should have done
Many miles I should have run
Many fights I should have won
And if the starts fall down tonight
And all is lost no hope in sight
I’ll think of you and I’m all right
And I would cross every river
I would sail every sea
I would climb every mountain
If it could bring you back to me
I would part every ocean
I would catch every star
I would cross every river
To be right were you are
