Enchanted

This world is enchanted

Lean closer to see it

This world is enchanted

Dare to breathe it in

This world is enchanted

Lean closer to see it

This world is enchanted

Dare to breathe it in

O God. . .

Give us new eyes to see

Give us new skin to feel

Give us new lungs to breathe

The wonder underneath

Faith like a mustard seed

Holy naivete’

To swim in Your mystery

We need to be free

Free to breathe it in

Born and born again

This world is transcendent

Lean closer to see it

This world is resplendent

Dare to breathe it in

You Are

Ground of all that’s good and beautiful and right

More than Heaven can contain

You give order to the stars

and to my life

More than Earth can ever tame

For we have heard your song

We sing it all day long

Joining Your Eternal Melody

We love the way you are,

The way You love and lead,

The way You recreate,

Emancipate,

The way You love

and love and love

And we cry “Holy! Holy!”

You are so powerfully

beyond me.

We cry “Holy! Holy!”

You are so beautifully

unlike me.

God, You fight for all the

broken and oppressed

You are found among the poor.

God, You hear me even

when my heart’s a mess

And our cries You can’t ignore.

Women:

All Heaven and Earth cannot contain

Heaven and Earth cannot contain

Your ways

Men:

Better than religion makes You seem

You are even better than we’ve

ever dared to dream

Ever dared to dream.

Love Can Change

the World

Bridges are more beautiful than bombs are

Bridges are more beautiful than bombs.

Listening is louder than a lecture

Listening is louder than a shout

But Love, Love can

change the world.

Oh do we still believe that Love, Love can

change the world.

Oh do we still believe in

Love, Love God is Love,

our God is Love and

Love can change the world.

An open hand is stronger

than a fist is

An open hand is stronger

than a fist

Wonder is more valuable

than Wall Street

Wonder is more valuable

than gold.

May we never stop this dreaming

Of a better world

May we never stop believing

In the impossible.

(repeat)

“Love Can Change the World”

“Enchanted”

“You Are”

We recorded this CD over two nights at mars hill in the spring of 2006. it was our attempt to capture a different worship experiences in each of the church’s six “directions”, and compile them all together onto one double CD. it’s all over the map, kind of like the mars hill community, and i think it captures it’s heart. for a lot more info, a behind-the-scenes video, or to listen/buy the whole thing, check out musicatmars.com.
