Temptation

The rising of the sun over a barren land
Walk with me my friend Take my hand

I will give you power, wealth and majesty
If you would bend a knee, worship only me

Chorus: I serve only God Keeper of my soul
I serve only Love A love you’ll never know

Can it be so hard? Prove your great Divinity
Make known who you are Let the angels set you free

Chorus: I serve only God Keeper of my soul
I serve only love A love you’ll never know

Bridge : Serve Love be free Serve Love be free
Serve Love be free Serve Love be free

Gather up these stones Turn them into bread
Look! You’re skin and bones Save yourself from death

Chorus : I serve only God Keeper of my soul
I serve only love A love you’ll never know

The rising of the sun over a barren land

Look to the Light

Lonely and tired
Troubled, dissatisfied
Can’t find your hope
Look to the light

These days it’s hard
To wake up and open your eyes
Stumbling around in the dark
Looking for light

When it feels like you’re falling
Heartbreak comes knocking
No use denying
Can’t stop your crying
Let your heart do the talking
Your feet do the walking
Straight to the light

Bridge: The world’s burning down
It’s so hard to be brave
All we got is our love
At the end of the day

Watching the storm
Seasons of cloudy skies
Thinking that rain won’t stop
Look to the light

When it feels like you’re falling
Heartbreak comes knocking
No use denying
Can’t stop your crying
Let your heart do the talking
Your feet do the walking
Straight to the light

Holding your breath
Wanting to just let go
Hard times will pass away
Look to the light
Look to the light
