listen with your eyes
the bonners are back - but its not spring, it's still winter!
morning by morning new mercies i see.
the bonners are back - norm's renting a car!
sing we to our god above - alleluia!
the bonners are back - the church is filling up.
be still and know that he is god.
the bonners are back - the new music is piled neatly up.
open the eyes of my heart, lord - pour out your power and love as we sing.
gary , pat, jason - share with us their re-memories of calgary
may your roots go down deep, in the soil of god's marvelous love.
snow and coffee, poems and old friends,
voice, grace, and language blending - all the world amazed.
fishing in the elk river,
shout to the world he is alive! hallelujah! he is risen!
and virginia's almond soup.
bright as the first light of morning - i knew he was love.
gary asks what we're feeling, and what we're learning.
let the glory of god be the heart of your song.
we're sightreading well tonight in this large group.
never before have we seen love so clearly - never again.
we learned the choir should sing to support the soloist.
let your gentleness be evident to all. rejoice in the the lord always.
we see that singing softly makes better connections.
not for a dream or a promise - simply because it is jesus who calls.
we see that respectful push push push gets lots done.
he arose! he arose! he arose! oh what a mighty god!
we find a quick return to the first song shows progress.
death where is your sting? behold the king of kings.
we find weak spots fixed quickly help move on again.
come before god with a shout. rejoice with jubilant song.
we're noticing each other - and that's good.
a miracle occured, the son of god became a man.
we're singing as we feel - not just as we read.
create in me a clean heart o God, and renew a right spirit within.
