When Sunday Comes by Mike McBride (copyright 2018 submitted & in process) We watch the movies and the movie stars We listen to the politicians We’re force fed advertising We're following the paparazzi We raise our families in a world of our own We know our children will adjust We teach them everything we know So they’ll grow up to be like us And every day we go to work We work ‘til we get paid And that’s when Friday arrives You know we’re ready for the weekend We can hardly wait for Saturday When Sunday comes we go to church We pray to God for all it’s worth We pray for peace on earth And harmony… We pray for unity When Sunday comes We walk a fine line every day How can we side with just one side? We watch the talkers watch us What is the truth and what’s the lie? The politicians play the politics The paparazzi interferes The enemies are watching Waiting for us to disappear And every day we go to work We work ‘til we get paid And that’s when Friday arrives You know we’re ready for the weekend We can hardly wait for Saturday When Sunday comes we go to church We pray to God for all it’s worth We pray for peace on earth And harmony… We pray for unity When Sunday comes When Sunday comes we go to church We pray to God for all it’s worth We pray for peace on earth and harmony We pray for you and me

Nothing But Love Music and lyrics by Michael McBride 6/2018 You’d never do anything you thought would hurt me You’d never turn on me, you’d not desert me You say you’d never burn this longing yearning love in your heart But you’re just making me promises you can’t keep It’s all part of the master plan It only took you just one kiss, then this betrayal began You’ve got nothing to give If you’ve got nothing to lose Are you trading my life If that’s what you choose? I will always forgive You know not what you do I’ve got nothing but love for you, nothing but love for you Nothing but love for you, nothing but love will do Peter did it, three times. He didn’t want to Judas did it too, but he knew he had to They had to know, they had no choice They were all part of the plan But is it part of the plan that you forsake me? I’m taking all I can stand until it breaks me! With all my heart I command my soul into your loving hands I’ve got nothing to give If I’ve got nothing to lose So I will give you my life If that’s what you choose I will always forgive They know not what they do I’ve got nothing but love for you, nothing but love for you Nothing but love for you, nothing but love will do Iscariot, Iscariot! I will always forgive You know not what you do I’ve got nothing but love for you Iscariot! Nothing but love for you Iscariot! Nothing but love for you, nothing but love will do

Sunrise 04:27
{Copyright 2018 submitted and in process} Sunrise in the morning I look into your eyes I wonder what the future holds I see a story still untold 'til sunrise The sun burns away the daylight We watch the time fly by We wonder how it went so fast We thought that time would last and last and last and last 'til sunrise Sunset in the evening The moon glows full and bright I'm holding you and it feels so right Unfolding into the night 'til sunrise All the rocky mountain rivers All the ocean, seas and shivers Can't keep me away All the weather in the winter All the cold can't keep me from you Baby you know it's true I'll be here with you Can't keep me away And only the time can take me 'cause I'm still growing old 'til sunrise Sunrise in the morning I look into your eyes I'm here with you 'till the ending I was here with you from the start till the Son-rise Sunrise

about

This is our fourth full-length album since we hit the digital age! It is the first fully studio-produced album, with one exception: on each album we have a tradition of including one old live track. We did this on "Still Flowing" and are doing it again here with "I WIll Go (live)", included as a bonus track. This album includes mostly re-makes of some of our oldest tunes, plus a few absolutely brand new tracks. One tying bind between all four albums is the song, "City of Joy" included in some way on each of them. It provides the theme for this album, taken from its phrase, "where joy will overflow." Here, we quote the song in the tune that opens up the album, "Sing to Jesus". "Sing to Jesus" and "Light of the World" are the thematic and sonic bookends for the whole thing. "Light of the World" features the full classic band line-up, a very exciting thing for us.

Thematically, this album Is a hopeful prayer. It speaks to the crises of soul felt by most of us in this modern world, whether "no one loves you" or the culture mocks you, or you just lost your husband, your best friend has betrayed you, or you are a runaway in the streets of New York City. The answer, of course, to all this need is Christ in the context of the Body of Christ, especially in the Cup and Bread that heal us and join us as one. And O what joy there is when we realize that "there is a place to go" in His Body, where we can love in the FLOWing power of His grace and achieve our mutual eternal destiny. It makes us want to clap, dance and sing "Alleluia!" & "Sing Hosanna to Jesus!"

The songs are pretty evenly divided this time between Mark & Mike, the original song-writing pair of the band. Many of these date back to the earliest days of the band, including "Sunrise", which Mike wrote then, though we had never performed it as a band. The songs seem to flow one into another quite marvelously with the opening of "Sing To Jesus" and "When Sunday Comes" setting the table, with each subsequent piece connected to the next, reaching its destination with "Light of the World"(followed by "Sunrise", of course) .

We are quite amazed by what we were able to achieve here in the autumn of our life. It just sounds like a band that has its roots deep in the 70's & 80's, and yet it is vibrant with ever-new creativity and life still flowing as strong as it ever was; it sounds like: LIVING WATERS!
