Trouble down every walk I’m barely swimmin’ My head is really spinnin’ From all of this political talk CHORUS: At least I’m standin’ on the Rock You give me shelter Standin’ on the Rock When I’m confused Standin’ on the Rock You give perspective This is how I’m livin’ Thankful I’m forgivin’ Standin’ on the Rock VERSE 2: My girl is cryin’ My patience fryin’ Does she need comfort or a push to be strong My boy’s not obeying I just start a praying Help me, Lord to be a good Mom! My husband’s working Then working some more I am grateful for his job But I keep getting’ older Trying to get bolder To see my dreams before I drop! CHORUS: At least I’m Standin’ on the Rock... BRIDGE: I must remember This world ain’t forever But I’d rather not see Rome fall My destination’s Heaven No credit and no cryin’ Till then won’t you join me, Y’All! CHORUS: We’ll all be Standin’ on the Rock You give us shelter Standin’ on the Rock When we’re confused Standin’ on the Rock You give perspective This is how we’re livin’ Thankful we’re forgivin’ On the Rock! Wooo! Standin’ on the Rock! (guitar) Standin’ on the Rock You give perspective This is how I’m livin’ Thankful I’m forgivin’ Standin’ on the Rock!

Let My Light Shine By Julie Kinscheck c.2008 Verse: Oh, Lord, I am an alien A stranger in this world You'd think I had 3 heads and 7 beady eyes How people run the other way When I clearly speak your name When in truth it's me who is afraid Chorus: To let my light shine Be that shining city on the hill Oh, Let my light shine To lead those weary travelers To the safety of your will Don't let me hide your spirit That guides my wayward soul Oh let my light shine--- Help me lead your children home Verse: Oh, Lord you give me passion In my heart I long to share The miracles you've done in me- Amazing! But the candle burns a fragile flame Oh, Word of truth come stoke the blaze ‘Cause I wanna be a living sacrifice of praise! Chorus: To let my light shine Be that shining city on the hill Oh, Let my light shine To lead those weary travelers To the safety of your will Don't let me hide your spirit That guides my wayward soul Oh let my light shine--- Help me lead your children BRIDGE: Home, home, home to heaven Home, home to your Kingdom Bridge: Let me show your power (Ah- Ah- MERCY!) Your mercy and your grace How to use your holy Word (Ah-AH- Battles) To fight the battles we all face Your magnificent creation The miracles of prayer Our mighty savior Jesus And how he’s helped me change! Chorus: To let my light shine Be that shining city on the hill Oh, let my light shine To lead those weary travelers To the safety of your will Don't let me hide your spirit That guides my wayward soul Oh let my light, let it shine, let it shine, let it shine! Help me lead your children home

You Are Words and music by Julie Kinscheck c. 2002 (A1) You are color you are light You’re the stars that fill the night sky You are music you are love You’re the beauty almost passed by (B1) You’re the magic winter snow fall You’re a balmy summer breeze You’re the view atop a mountain Stretching out- magnificently! (C1)You’re in every direction You are high and you are low You’re that voice deep down inside me And in everything I know (A2) You are rapture, you are teardrops Joyous laughter in an old man You are children, cuddly kittens You’re the power that runs my minivan (B2) You’re the hope that keeps me going Solid Earth beneath my feet You’re the truth that gives me confidence With promises so sweet (C2) protecting me from danger You send angels to my aide You have seen my unformed body So wonderfully made (SCAT SOLO) (A3) You are mercy, sweet forgiveness You’re the only source of true grace You are wisdom, you are challenge You never give me more than I can face (B3) You’re that gentle quiet answer I must listen to obtain You’re generous beyond wonder When I ask it in you name (C1)You’re in every direction You are high and you are low You’re that voice deep down inside me And in everything I know TAG: You’re that voice deep down inside me And in everything I know

Where Is The Boy Words & music by Julie Kinscheck c.1986 VERSE: In a blue world, full of blue jeans, under blue skies There’s a blue car with a blown tire, on a country road In a green field where the grass blows there’s a green boy He tries to fix his blue car and his broken dreams But tell me where can he go? CHORUS: ‘Cause Mom and Dad are fighting - And they don’t see he’s crying The Fire strikes like lightning - And they don’t see he’s dying They don’t see he’s dying VERSE: Now the green boy takes his blue car to the grey town He meets a red lady in a black dress he mistakes for white He buys a cool drink she lays a hot glance on his blue eyes She lays a crimson kiss on his pale cheek Takes him home for the night CHORUS: ‘Cause Mom and Dad are fighting - And they don’t see he’s crying The Fire strikes like lightning - And they don’t see he’s dying They don’t see he’s - They don’t see they don’t see they don’t see he’s dying They don’t see he’s dying BRIDGE: He never got the confidence Had no examples of good sense They always told him “Go out and play” Now tell where is the boy today? Where is the boy? VERSE: In a grey jail, far from green fields is a blue boy He robbed a white store for some green bills, he was so alone He needed COLD CASH TO PAY FOR THE LOVE HE NEVER FOUND AT HOME! CHORUS: ‘Cause Mom and Dad are fighting - And they don’t see he’s crying The Fire strikes like lightning - And they don’t see he’s dying They don’t see he’s - They don’t see they don’t see they don’t see he’s dying They don’t see he’s dying Where is the Boy? Where is the Boy? Where is the Boy? Where is the Boy? Where is the Boy?

Jesus Wept 03:59
Jesus Wept Words and Music by Julie Kinscheck c. 2001 Verse: Her eyes are wide with loneliness She’d know no father’s love Dad left Ma when she was just a babe They never had enough Her mother cries out in anger Over lovers come and gone And with each tear the young girl fears There’s something she’s done wrong Chorus: Jesus looked down on Jerusalem Would I could gather you to my breast Hold you close in my father’s love And give you rest And Jesus wept And Jesus wept Verse: Took one last look- sleeping at his side His wife of many years Now the love all gone- what went wrong? How would they both move on from here? He leaves her then, for a lover’s bed The children safe asleep And with regrets- he reflects “What happened to our dreams?” Chorus: Jesus looked down on Jerusalem... And Jesus wept Bridge: I can heal your aching heart- Trust in me I can heal those lonely places- Just believe My words can renew the love of man and wife Take the guilt- forget the past Have hope for a new life Chorus: Jesus looked down on Jerusalem... And Jesus wept

I'm A Mess 02:41
I’m A MESS C 2011 Words and Music By Julie Kinscheck VERSE: I’m a MESS I Need help Don’t always seem quite well In the head That’s what I said I’m a MESS! VERSE: I try hard I fall flat Diet pills just make me hungry I feel fat I get mad I’m a MESS! TRANS BRIDGE 1: I’m hardly ever anywhere on time I justify how fast I drive just act as if it’s fine VERSE: I talk fast Insert foot Try to fix it with an email Made things worse We’re both hurt I’m a MESS! TRANS BRIDGE 2: Can’t even get my six year old to sleep Distracted and I’m tired and stressed out and I weep PRIMARY BRIDGE: I know I am so blessed I try to make a difference But to one whom much is given Expectation runs so high I’d crumble in a moment But for the rock on which I stand And the grace to start a new day Angels holding my hands VERSE: The roof leaks The debt peaks I don’t always handle things The best But thank God That there’s grace To count on And friends to share this load ‘Cause this life’s a twisty road And I try to do my best But I’m a mess Friends in the race Remind me of his grace Till we see him face to face Throw up my hands Live by His commands His way is the best And I’m a MESS!

Love Is Wild 03:52
Love is Wild Words and music by Julie Kinscheck c. 1984 VERSE: Keep her strong like the Earth You can ride her like the water Hold her close, Keep her warm Like a tender new born child Give her space to grow tall And cherish that you’ve got her, Love is sweet when you fall But LOVE IS WILD CHORUS: LOVE IS WILD LOVE IS WILD Love is sweet when you fall But LOVE IS WILD VERSE: You were searching for the secrets In the words of a poem Hunting through the past For that handsome faded smile Yearning for the truth Afraid of the unknown But then you knew this love was true Oh, LOVE IS WILD CHORUS: LOVE IS WILD LOVE IS WILD Love is sweet when you fall But LOVE IS WILD BRIDGE: It comes to a sparkling dance floor Or a crowded curcus show It opens up a hidden door Where no one else can go Into this gentle garden To bring joy to our lives Strike a precious bargain Make you husband and wife SOLO VERSE DOUBLE CHORUS
