"The Quest"
(vocal: Wayne Burton)

Every child of God, searching for the truth
One day will begin The Quest.
I‚m searching for direction, and ready to pursue
Wisdom to face my test.

Chorus
I will search, I will pray
Travel this road of faith
I will reach for the truth
And go where it leads me to
And I will not rest, I'll never give up on The Quest.

A beacon shines it's light, into every life
Reaching out to bring us home.
I see my destination, and one day will arrive
And find the truth I've always known.

Repeat Chorus

The road has not been easy,
I‚ve come a long, long way
But this journey has not ended,
So until that day...

Repeat Chorus

"The Lord Looks on the Heart"
(vocal: Eden Morris)

If one looked on the outside, what would he see?
Something far from what I am trying to be
So rough around the edges, still trying to get it
right
But that's a situation I may live with all my life

There's someone on the inside that waits to be set
free
Someone great I know I was always meant to be
I know my day is coming, when I‚ll blossom as the rose
But when it comes and how it comes, heaven only knows
Heaven knows

Chorus
I know there's something meant for me
And in my heart I do believe
There's so much more to who we really are
I know somewhere my destiny is written in the stars
While the world looks on the outside, I know
The Lord looks on the heart

There's One who is on my side, with me all the way
And because of him I know I grow stronger every day
He sees not who I am now, but who I can become
He gives me hope, he gives me strength to hold on
'till He comes
'Till He comes

Repeat Chorus

"Child of Heaven"
(vocal: Terra Jayne Aneca)

You may not set the world on fire,
or win every heart
You may not see your every desire fulfilled
right from the start
You may not find a world of acceptance
But niether will I
You are more than you ever imagined
A star in the sky

But if all my words are in vain,
You must know one thing...

YOU ARE A CHILD OF HEAVEN, NOTHING LESS
THERE IS SO MUCH YOU'VE BEEN GIVEN
AND YOU ARE BLESSED
A DISTANT STAR
THAT SHINES THE WHOLE NIGHT THROUGH
THAT'S WHAT I SEE IN YOU

This old world has a lot of confusion
and it's so unkind
So we give up, what's the use trying
Time after time?

We did not come here to lose
Reach for the power inside of you

REPEAT CHORUS

A distant star
That shines the whole night through
That's what I see in you.

- by Wayne Burton

Song Story
Child of Heaven was written for a dear friend that I met while living in the western United States. We had only been aquainted for a short period of time when I noticed that she would often put herself down. Whether in jest in seriousness, I did not know, but I didn't like to hear her speak that way. I wrote this song to remind her, and everyone, that we are children of Heaven, and that makes us special. No other credential could be so important!
