Changes Upon Changes
Music and Lyrics by Peter LinkIn the many phases of the moon
In the turning of the tide
In the wind that whispers through the eaves
It comes and then subsides
Like a smoke dream
Like a vision
It is certain
Yet and then
It’s a shadow in the alleyway
That is there and gone againIn the lives and times of families
In a life that’s on the run
When your future plans seem set in stone
But they all become undone
There is only one thing constant
A change will always come
Like the sounding of the brass
Or the pounding of a drumChanges upon changes
Different lovers
Different friends
Nothing’s ever always
Once it’s there it’s gone again
Changes upon changes
And the changes never end yeah
Don’t look back now
There’s another
Changin’ ‘round the bendYeah when I get out on that road of life
Flyin’ like the wind
An’ never know what’s comin’
Never know just who’s behind
Never know ‘bout the speed trap
Down that road
Just waitin’
Never see comin’ the things that change my mind
Driving headlong into the wonder of changeChange is inevitable
Change is inevitableAn’ I feel it now it’s comin’ on
I’m ready to explode
So I push the pedal to the floor
An’ sail on down the road
And I leave behind those troubled times
I’ll sing another song
An’ if that ol’ cop stops me
I’ll just smile an’ move along
Never see comin’ the things that change my mind
Divin’ headlong into the wonders of changeChanges upon changes
Different lovers
Different friends
Nothing’s ever always
Once it’s there it’s gone again
Changes upon changes
And the changes never end
Don’t look back now
There’s another
Changin’ ‘round the bendChanges upon changes
Changes upon changes
Changes upon changes
And the changes never endChanges upon changes
Changes upon changes
Changes upon changes
And the changes never endChanges upon changes
Changes upon changes
Changes upon changes
And the changes never end

The Evidence of Things Unseen
Lyrics by Dora Redman and Peter Link
Music by Peter LinkAnd so he spoke
"They need not depart.
Give ye them food to eat."
Give them food for thought,
The food of light,
The light of sustenance
Don't send them away in their time of need
Feed the flockBut his disciples were not in the mind of Jesus
They struggled to raise their faith
And though miracles had abounded throughout the days
They were stuck in the world's worn out waysThey knew not God's law of infinite abundance
And I watched as they muttered amongst themselves hmm
"Feed them with what? There's nothing to eat"
No apples, no almonds, no meatThen a boy stepped forth
With a basket of bread and two fishes
Well you know the rest
The five thousand were fed
And we all saw the power of his wishes
And the evidence of things unseen
Oh yes the evidence of things unseenYou ask, "What is that evidence?"
It's the substance of faith
And no seeming dreams that lie in betweenThere, by his prayer
Pulled out of thin air
In a miracle of such routine
(As I witnessed so often, again and again)
Was the evidence of things unseen
Yes, the evidence of things unseenYes a boy stepped forth
With the spirit of "Nothing can stop me"
A boy, just a boy
And five thousand were fed
And we all felt the power and the glory
Of the evidence of things unseen
Oh yes the evidence of things unseenAnd right there, by his prayer
Pulled out of thin air
In a miracle of such routine
(As I witnessed so often, again and again)
Was the evidence of things unseenThe man
The miracle
The son of God
Hallelu!!!
And all this from two fishes
And five loaves of bread

Nothing
Music and Lyrics by Peter LinkWhat is the chaff to the wheat?
Nothing
What is the dross to the gold?
What is the darkness to light?
Nothing
Nothing's still nothing a thousand foldNothing's no more than a fraud
Trying to be something when really it's nothing
Claiming existence with no real consistency
What is matter to God?
What is matter to God?
Nothing
NothingWhat is the false to the truth?
Nothing
What are the tears to the crier?
What is an absence to presence?
Nothing
What is the ash to the raging fire?What is the gain if a million lives
Are lost while the world is obsessed making war?
What is the point? Dear Lord! What are the spoils?
What on earth is it for?
What on earth is it all for?
Nothing
NothingWhat is the past to the present?
Nothing
What are the remnants of time?
What are the scraps and shavings of dreams
Forgotten and long left behind?What of a thought considered then spurned
And left in the dust forsaken?
What was it worth? What does it matter?
If it was simply mistakenWhat is death to life?
Nothing
What are the findings discovered by science?
What are the laws on which we place reliance
When we find the findings were flawed?
What is matter to God?
Nothing
NothingWhat is the chaff to the wheat?
Nothing

Lyrics Micah 6:6-8With what shall I come before the Lord,
And bow myself before God on high?
Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings?
Shall I come before Him with yearling calves?Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams,
With ten thousand rivers of oil?
Shall I give my first-born for my transgressions,
The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?He has shown you, O man,
He has shown you what is good
And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justly and to love mercy,
And to walk humbly with your God?© 1987, 1990 Beckenhorst Press, Inc.

Who Will Heal The World
Music and Lyrics by Peter LinkWell here we are
Now at last together
Here we are
Soldiers seekers healers are we
What rings us to this mountaintop?
What questions lie upon your tongues?
Tell me all about it
What questions lie upon your tongues?Who will heal the world?
Who will save the children?
Who will cleanse the waters of the earth?
Who will heal the world?
Who will stir the ashes?
Who will bring the barren land to birth?Who will rescue the fallen man?
Mend the broken-hearted
Build the families
Give back the dignity
That's now been taken away?Who will heal the world?
Who will bridge the waters?
Who will break the barriers
Between man?Now you know the answer lies with God
But the task He gives to meSo send me up to the mountaintop
Send me into the valley below
Send me out into the wilderness
Here I am send me
Here am I send me
Here I am[Key change]
Who will heal the world?
Who will end the famine?
Who is there to multiply the loaves?Now you know the power lies with God
But the hour belongs to youSo send me up to the mountaintop
Send me into the valley below
Send me out into the wilderness
Here I am send me
Here am I send me
Here I amSend me into the broken homes
Send me out into the asphalt jungles
Send me deep into the troubled sea
Here I am send me
Here am I send me
Here I amSend me into intensive care
Send me where the people are dying
There my brothers will be set free
Here I am send me
Here am I send me
Here I am[Key change]
So send me up to the mountaintop
Send me into the valley below
Send me out into the wilderness
Here I am send me
Here am I send me
Here I am[Breakdown section- Choir a cappella w/Percussion]
Send me into the prison yards
Send me into the heart of danger
Send me out into the battleground
Here I am send me
Here am I send meSend me into the broken homes
Send me out into the asphalt jungles
Send me deep into the troubled sea
Here I amWho will heal the world?
Here am I send me
Who will heal the world?
Here am I send meI am a healer
I'm a seeker
I'm a fire
I am a healer
I'm a seeker
I'm a fire
I am a healer
I'm a seeker
I'm a fire
Here am I send me!!!
