Nothing but Blue © 2016 Treva Blomquist Tell me your story, your favorite song Show me your heart beating effortless & strong We'll cast our worries, out to the sea We’ll watch them sink, down down to the deep Nothing but blue skies – Blue skies Nothing but blue skies for me Blue Skies for me & you Put on your Fred Astaire, your dancing shoes Let down your hair, let your soul run loose Let me surround you, with all this love We’ll spread our wings and we’ll fly like the dove Into the blue skies – Blue skies Nothing but blue skies for me Blue Skies for me – blue skies for me & you The sea it calls to me it knows my name Jump in with both feet. Let the beauty take Our breath away - Our breath away Nothing but blue - Blue Nothing but blue skies are waiting Blue skies – nothing but Blue skies Blue skies are all I see It’s all I see for you and me

C’mon Love © 2016 Treva Blomquist I’ve been watching you watching me I’ve been waiting here so patiently C’mon over, make your move (baby) All I want is to be next to you C’mon love, don’t wait another minute I’m ready for you, ready for you, love C’mon love, I want to jump right in it I’m ready for you, ready for you love Get on your mark, get set, let’s go Let’s plant this seed. Let’s see how fast it grows You’re the song I can’t resist With a melody as sweet as a Hershey kiss C’mon love, don’t wait another minute I’m ready for you, ready for you, love C’mon love, I want to jump right in it I’m ready for you, ready for you love I could be your Valentine A big red heart that says ‘Be Mine’ I’ll be your salty, be your sweet If you’ll come and sweep me off my feet C’mon love, don’t wait another minute I’m ready for you, ready for you, love C’mon love, I want to jump right in it I’m ready for you, ready for you love

Stir One Another 03:23
lyrics

Stir One Another © 2016 Treva Blomquist Why do we sling mud instead of dusting each other off? We are more than these human shells. We are souls that need a little help Oh, Stir one another – towards Love Love is patient hoping kind and true Love is not only what benefits you Love is centered and content, it is not rude or arrogant Loving isn’t easy– but always wins Why do we hold a grudge? We let that bitter seed grow deep in us. When there exists a better way, till up the ground and have a little faith Oh, Stir one another – towards Love Love protects you, it is bold and strong Love does not keep score of right and wrong Love will always persevere - it whispers softly in your ear Love will never leave you – it won’t give up - No No No No I want to live in Love – where there’s nothing left to be afraid of Where I can sing and live in peace and joy – and I can echo my Savior’s voice Oh. Stir one another – towards Love. Stir one another – towards Love

Count on Me © 2016 Treva Blomquist & Mitch Dane When your mind is full with trouble, at the end of your rope Everything you have a crumbles, so there’s nothing left Nothing left to hold - Oh I’ll be there When your heart feels freshly broke, so hurt you want to hide And there’s no words to be spoke, for what you feel deep inside – Oh I’ll be there I’ll be here, I’ll be there, anywhere Even if the world turns its back on you Even when the sky is more grey than blue You can count on me I’ll be there When nobody else will love you, you don’t even like yourself And there’s no one you can turn to, for a little bit just a little help – Oh I’ll be there When the rain starts coming down and the water starts to rise Before you even turn around – I’m already Right by your side – Oh I’ll be there I’ll be here, I’ll be there, anywhere Even if the world turns its back on you Even when the sky is more grey than blue (pause) I’ll come and lift the shades, let the sunshine through You can count on me, I’ll be there I ain’t going anywhere, just you wait and see I’m not going anywhere, that’s my guarantee I’m not going anywhere, babe you’re stuck with me I’m not going anywhere – count on me (You can) Count on me

Coming Down © 2016 – Treva Blomquist I, saw, a little red string. I pulled, softly just to see My hands, covered in the stain, from just one little red string Whoah ,the whole thing’s coming down Oh, the whole thing’s coming down Heart beat, climbing to my ears. Run. Run. The only thing I hear Can’t undo what has been done. Word spreads, get ready here it comes Oh ,the whole thing’s coming down Oh, the whole thing’s coming down Oh ,the whole thing’s coming down Oh, the whole thing’s coming down It was a simple attraction Started the chain of reaction Pull back the hem of the curtain, eyes open wide It was a simple attraction Started the chain of reaction Pull back the hem of the curtain, Let in the light Let in the light Oh ,the whole thing’s coming down Oh, the whole thing’s coming down Oh ,the whole thing’s coming down Oh, the whole thing’s coming down Go, find, shelter if you care, Go, find, courage if you dare Oh ,the whole thing’s coming down Oh, the whole thing’s coming down Oh ,the whole thing’s coming down Oh, the whole thing’s coming down

Fly Away © 2016 Treva Blomquist & Mitch Dane So full of fear, that what I do or say will be taken the wrong way Sad, to spend a life In a prison cell when the door is open wide So this will be the day -------- let it fly away Courage. Oh be brave --------let it fly away We, live in a world where the lines are drawn – don’t pick the wrong side I – I can’t stay here Breathing in and out, the same old air So this will be the day -------- let it fly away Courage. Oh, be brave --------let it fly away I’ll tie it to a star, and watch it go, send it far far far away All the doubt in my heart, I let it go, send it far far far away This will be the day -------- let it fly away Courage. Oh, be brave --------let it fly away – Let it fly, fly away

Courageous Peace © 2016 Treva Blomquist & Mitch Dane I have called you with a whisper, every day I am the same Before time and space I loved you and established your name I pulled you from the sadness, and washed you in my love I’ve gone the path before you. It is safe for you to run - Safe for you to Run My gracious hand is upon you, walk in peace – courageous peace My mighty hand goes before you, walk in peace – I give you peace, -- I give you peace I knit your bones together, and caused your heart to beat How could any other know you better than me? No thief could ever snatch you from the palm of my hand I set all things in motion, that is who I AM – That Is who I am My gracious hand is upon you, walk in peace – courageous peace My mighty hand goes before you, walk in peace – I give you peace From the highest mountain peak - to the deepest of seas There’s nothing in this world beyond my reach I SPOKE the stars, and I FORMED your heart I’m the only one who knows exactly who you are And I will not let you go, when the waters seem to rise Oh my sons and my daughters, you are precious in my sight Someday we’ll meet in glory, and it’ll all make better sense You’re a piece of a bigger story. I’ll see you through the end You’re a piece of a bigger story – Mmmm You’re a piece of a bigger story - Amen
