RECONCILED
Lyrics by Jana Holland.
Its the age old story since the fall of man/Gap wide open and the waters rush in/Dragging me down to the pit/Swept by the night in the eye of the storm/Pride explodes and consumes my soul/Dragging me down to the pit/And you met me in the desert/And you carried my heavy load/And my heart was filled with sorrow/For the things that I had done/But we wept and kept on walking/To the freedom of the Son/Yeah, we wept but kept on walking/To the freedom of the Son.

MORNING STAR
Lyrics by Jana Holland
Day O/Rests on the edge of the sea/Day O/Wash over me/They say the color of wisdom/Is that of the fire in the sky/A beacon of light/For all who open their eyes/Day O/Rests on the edge of the sea/Day O/Wash over me/They say the color of love/Is that of the snow white dove/The morning star/Guides all who open their hearts.

REBEL LOVE
Lyrics by Jana Holland
Midwestern gypsy girl/Single mother/Weight of the world/On her shoulders/Met an Aussie boy/From down under/Swam across/To find her/New land, new love/Can I share with you/Share with you/My heavy burdens/New land new life/And love that grows/Love that grows in our garden/Punk rock Aussie boy/Hard working loyal kind/Destiny meet them/At the cup o joy/Diamond for the girl/Taylor for the boy/Consummate this rebel love/New land, new love/Can I share with you/Share with you/My heavy burdens/New land new life/And love that grows/Love that grows in our garden

MOCKING BIRD
Lyrics by Jana Holland
Perched in these trees/Conspicuously spying on me/Long history/Time stands still, silent screams/My baby done me wrong/Hear the mocking birds song/Listen for the sheiks/As they half heartedly sing/Of ancient wars/Blood runs deep/Heartbreak hotel/Where the cheating kind meet/My baby done me wrong/Hear the mocking birds song/Listen for the sheiks/As they half heartedly sing/I am not home/Among these barren trees/Maybe I’d come back/In the spring when all is green/My baby….

TRIED AND TRUE
Lyrics by Jana Holland
Ten years in/What a lovely mess/You’re my best friend/Still I must confess/I’ve got tears in my heart/I’ve got tears in my heart/Traveling around/Smile on my face/Singing our songs/Yet I can’t embrace/Cause, I’ve got tears in my heart/I’ve got tears in my heart/Nothing wrong with being jealous/For what’s ours/Together, reaching for the stars/You look out for me and I’ll look out for you/At the end of the day we’re tried and true/We’re in the wars/Damsel in distress/Ashes to beauty/Still I must confess/I’ve got tears in my heart/I’ve got tears in my heart/Down the line/Our little sheep farm/Desires and dreams/Can’t do no harm/Still I’ve got tears in my heart/I’ve got tears in my heart/ Nothing wrong with being jealous/For what’s ours/Together, reaching for the stars/You look out for me and I’ll look out for you/At the end of the day we’re tried and true

OLD MAN’S TOWN
Poem by Banjo Patterson. Adapted by The Hollands!
Sing my woes/Sing my joy/Sing my friends/Now don’t be coy/Sing my sad and pretty song/Sing oh sing/Oh, sing along/Some days I feel so blue/Joy comes remembering you/The fields of youth are full of flowers/The wine of youth is strong/What need of we to count the hours?/The summer days are long/But soon we find to our dismay/That we are drifting down/The barren slops that fall away/And leads to Old Man’s town/ Sing my woes/Sing my joy/Sing my friends/Now don’t be coy/Sing my sad and pretty song/Sing oh sing/Oh, sing along/Some days I feel so blue/Joy comes remembering you/Marching with us on that track/Many friends we’ll find/See them looking sadly back?/For those they’ve lost behind/But God forbid a fate so dread/Alone to travel down/The dreary road we all must tread/The road to Old Man’s town.

WINTER BY THE BAY
Lyrics by Jana Holland
Its been a long cold season/And my hearts been blind/To the hand that guides me/And has always been kind.
And you,/And you know/Where Ive been /And where I go.
Times have got me troubled/Then you look into my eyes/Reassuring glances/And everything will be all right
I crave your affection In this world of rejection/I long to be the apple/And delight of your eye
And you love me/Yes, you love me/Im the apple/Of your eye.

KINDNESS FLOWS
Lyrics by Jana Holland
As water reflect your pretty little face
So a man's heart reflects a man's.
Your reckless words they pierce like a sword
Let kindness flow from within.
We pride ourselves with moral standards
Teaching the world as their commander
Hypocrisy bleeds from within
Oh, for the state of sin
Like a Thom bush in a drunkards hand
Is a proverb in the mouth of fool
Your reckless words they pierce like a sword
But kindness is like a jewel.

STILL YOU ARE THERE
Lyrics by Jana Holland
Clouds in the sky/Storms on its way/Trying to get by
Day after day
Still you are there/Right beside me/Hold me my love
Hold me tightly
All around its grey/Theres nothing I can do/My dreams fade away/Ive been such a fool
My hearts let me down/Walls crashing in/And all that I have know/Comes to an end

ARISE, YE SONS AND DAUGHTERS
Lyrics by Jana Hollands
Arise, arise, Ye gallant sons and daughters
The world demands all valiant ones
To take a fearless stand
Arise, arise Arise, ye sons and daughters
Arise, arise Lend a helping hand
Bring hope and peace in your heart of hearts
And courage high that youth imparts
Shoulder to the helm and share the heavy burden
Be not discouraged, be brave and strong

THAT FATAL SHORE
Lyrics by Jana Holland
Green of the clovers gone
Smell of the roses disappear
Along that fatal shore
Tears of the wounded flow.
She crashes to the shore
She rises, then she ancors down
Forsaken place of birth
Renewal of the earth
Aurora brings forth hope
Promise of day break drifting in
Along that fatal shore
Return to life once more
Rain down your mercy
Rain down your peace

NO BLUE SUNDAYS
Lyrics by Jana Holland
Written in memory of Grace Urcavich.
Whats the worry all about? Your daddys got a plan.
Let him take your anxiety and doubt.
And rest there in his hands
Well, hold your head, way up high. Dont you cry. Theres no blue Sundays in heaven. So lay down your burdens and fly.
Come to the table, ya grab a stool.
The bread of lifes offered to you.
It yours for the taking, ya yours to claim,
The price has been paid for in due.
Heaven will call you from this dark cloud,
What glory it will be. Dont be afraid, no stand up proud.
The Savior will set you free.
