If There Is a God ­ Smashing P umpkins

And if there is a God I know he likes to rock He likes his loud guitars And he is spiders from Mars And if there is a God I know she's watching me She likes what she sees But there's trouble on the breeze Who are you this time? Are you one of us flying blind? Because I'm down here throwing stones While you're so far from home And if there is a God I know they're on TV The spies with bedroom eyes Who cowers in our sky Who are you this time? Are you one of us flying blind? Because I'm down here throwing stones While you're so far from home Van Morrison ­ W henever God

Whenever God shines His light on me Opens up my eyes so I can see When I look up in the darkest night I know everything's going to be alright In deep confusion, in great despair When I reach out for Him He is there When I am lonely as I can be I know that God shines His light on me

Reach out for Him, He'll be there With Him your troubles you can share If you live the life you love You get the blessing from above He heals the sick and heals the lame Says you can do it too in Jesus name

He'll lift you up and turn you around and put your feet back on higher ground

Reach out for Him, He'll be there With Him your troubles you can share You can use his higher power in every day and any hour He heals the sick and heals the lame Says you can do it too in Jesus name

He'll lift you up and turn you around and put your feet back on higher ground. W here is the love – Black eyed peas

What's wrong with the world, mama People livin' like they ain't got no mamas I think the whole world addicted to the drama Only attracted to things that'll bring you trauma Overseas, yeah, we try to stop terrorism But we still got terrorists here livin' In the USA, the big CIA The Bloods and The Crips and the KKK But if you only have love for your own race Then you only leave space to discriminate And to discriminate only generates hate And when you hate then you're bound to get irate, yeah Badness is what you demonstrate And that's exactly how a n**** works and operates N**, you gotta have love just to set it straight Take control of your mind and meditate Let your soul gravitate to the love, y'all, y'all

People killin', people dyin' Children hurt and you hear them cryin' Can you practice what you preach And would you turn the other cheek

Father, Father, Father help us Send us some guidance from above 'Cause people got me, got me questionin' Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love) Where is the love (The love) Where is the love The love, the love

It just ain't the same, always unchanged New days are strange, is the world insane If love and peace is so strong Why are there pieces of love that don't belong Nations droppin' bombs Chemical gasses fillin' lungs of little ones With the ongoin' sufferin' as the youth die young So ask yourself is the lovin' really gone So I could ask myself really what is goin' wrong In this world that we livin' in people keep on givin' in Makin' wrong decisions, only visions of them dividends Not respectin' each other, deny thy brother A war is goin' on but the reason's undercover The truth is kept secret, it's swept under the rug If you never know truth then you never know love Where's the love, y'all, come on (I don't know) Where's the truth, y'all, come on (I don't know) Where's the love, y'all

People killin', people dyin' Children hurt and you hear them cryin' Can you practice what you preach And would you turn the other cheek Father, Father, Father help us Send us some guidance from above 'Cause people got me, got me questionin' Where is the love (Love)

Where is the love (The love) Where is the love (The love) Where is the love The love, the love

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulder As I'm gettin' older, y'all, people gets colder Most of us only care about money makin' Selfishness got us followin' our own direction Wrong information always shown by the media Negative images is the main criteria Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria Kids act like what they see in the cinema Yo', whatever happened to the values of humanity Whatever happened to the fairness in equality Instead in spreading love we spreading animosity Lack of understanding, leading lives away from unity That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' under That's the reason why sometimes I'm feelin' down There's no wonder why sometimes I'm feelin' under Gotta keep my faith alive to lovers bound

People killin', people dyin' Children hurt and you hear them cryin' Can you practice what you preach And would you turn the other cheek

Where is the love (The love) Where is the love (The love) Where is the love (The love) Nelly Furtado – in Gods hands

I looked at your face I saw that all the love had died I saw that we had forgotten to take the time I, I saw that you couldn't care less about what you do Couldn't care less about the lies You couldn't find the time to cry

We forgot about love We forgot about faith We forgot about trust We forgot about us

Now our love's floating out the window Our love's floating out the back door Our love's floating up in the sky in heaven Where it began back in God's hands

You said that you had said all that you had to say You said baby, it's the end of the day And we gave a lot, but it wasn't enough We got so tired that we just gave up

Now our love's floating out the window Our love's floating out the back door Our love's floating up in the sky in heaven Where it began back in God's hands

We didn't respect it We went and neglected it We didn't deserve it But I never expected this

Our love floated out the window Our love floated out the back door Our love floated up in the sky to heaven It's part of a plan It's back in God's hands Back in God's hands

Oh it didn't last It's a thing of the past No we didn't understand Oh just what we had Oh I want it back Just what we had I want it back Oh just what we had Bob Sinclair – Love generation

Sunshine upon my face A new song for me to sing Tell the world how I feel inside Even though it might cost me everything Now that I know this, so beyond, I can't hold this I can never turn my back away Now that I've seen you I can never look away

This is my church This is where I heal my hurts This is my church This is where I heal my hurts This is my church This is where I heal my hurts

It's a natural grace Of watching young life shape It's in minor keys Solutions and remedies Enemies becoming friends When bitterness ends

This is my church (2x) This is where I heal my hurts For tonight God is a dj

This is my church This is where I heal my hurts God is a girl –

Remembering me, discover and see, All over the world, she's known as a girl, To those who are free, their minds shall be keep, Forgotten as the past, 'cause history will last.

God is a girl, wherever you are, Do you believe it, can you receive it, God is a girl, whatever you say, Do you believe it, can you receive it, God is a girl, however you live, Do you believe it, can you receive it, God is a girl, she's only a girl, Do you believe it, can you receive it?

She wants to shine, forever in time, She is so driven, she's always mine, Clearly and free, she wants you to be, A part of the future, a girl like me, There is a sky, eluminating us, Someone is out there, that we truly trust, There is a rainbow, for you and me, A beautiful sunrise, eternally.

God is a girl, wherever you are, Do you believe it, can you receive it, God is a girl, whatever you say, Do you believe it, can you receive it, God is a girl, however you live, Do you believe it, can you receive it, God is a girl, she's only a girl, Do you believe it, can you receive it? God (part II) – U2

Don't believe the devil I don't believe his book But the truth is not the same Without the lies he made up

Don't believe in excess Success is to give Don't believe in riches But you should see where I live I...I believe in love

Don't believe in forced entry Don't believe in rape But every time she passes by Wild thoughts escape I don't believe in death row Skid row or the gangs Don't believe in the Uzi It just went off in my hand I...I believe in love

Don't believe in cocaine Got a speed­ball in my head I could cut and crack you open Do you hear what I said Don't believe them when they tell me There ain't no cure The rich stay healthy The sick stay poor I...I believe in love

Don't believe in Goldman His type like a curse Instant karma's going to get him If I don't get him first Don't believe in rock 'n' roll Can really change the world As it spins in revolution It spirals and turns I...I believe in love

Don't believe in the 60's The golden age of pop You glorify the past When the future dries up Heard a singer on the radio late last night He says he's gonna kick the darkness 'til it bleeds daylight I...I believe in love

I feel like I'm falling Like I'm spinning on a wheel It always stops beside a name A presence I can feel I...I believe in love Dear God – XTC

Dear God, Hope you got the letter, And I pray you can make it better down here. I don't mean a big reduction in the price of beer, But all the people that you made in your image, See them starving on their feet, 'Cause they don't get enough to eat

From God, I can't believe in you.

Dear God, sorry to disturb you, but I feel that I should be heard loud and clear. We all need a big reduction in amount of tears, And all the people that you made in your image, See them fighting in the street, 'Cause they can't make opinions meet, About God, I can't believe in you.

Did you make disease, and the diamond blue? Did you make mankind after we made you? And the devil too!

Dear God, Don't know if you noticed, But your name is on a lot of quotes in this book. Us crazy humans wrote it, you should take a look, And all the people that you made in your image, Still believing that junk is true. Well I know it ain't and so do you, Dear God, I can't believe in, I don't believe in,

I won't believe in heaven and hell. No saints, no sinners, No Devil as well. No pearly gates, no thorny crown. You're always letting us humans down. The wars you bring, the babes you drown. Those lost at sea and never found, And it's the same the whole world 'round. The hurt I see helps to compound, that the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, Is just somebody's unholy hoax, And if you're up there you'll perceive, That my heart's here upon my sleeve. If there's one thing I don't believe in...

It's you, Dear God. I still haven’t found w hat i’m looking for – U2

I have climbed the highest mountains I have run through the helds Only to be with you Only to be with you.

I have run I have crawled I have scaled these city walls Only to be with you But I still haven't found What I'm looking for But I still haven't found What I'm looking for.

I have kissed honey lips Felt the healing in her fingertips It burned like fire This burning desire I have spoke with the tongue of angels I have held the hand of a devil It was warm in the night I was cold as a stone But I still haven't found What I'm looking for But I still haven't found What I'm looking for.

I believe in the Kingdom Come Then all the colours will bleed into one But yes I'm still running.

You broke the bonds you loosed the chains You carried the cross And my shame And my shame You know I believe it But I still haven't found What l'm looking for But I still haven't found What I'm looking for. W hy – Tracy Chapman

Why do the babies starve when there's enough food to feed the world? Why when there's so many of us are there people still alone? Why are the missiles called peace keepers when they're aimed to kill? Why is a women still not safe when she's in her home?

Love is hate War is peace No is yes And we're all free

But somebody's gonna have to answer The time is coming soon Amidst all these questions and contradictions There are some who seek the truth

But somebody's gonna have to answer The time is coming soon When the blind remove their blinders And the speechless speak the truth God in my bed – K’s Choice

Before last night my heart was grey Like my country is today Big kaleidoscope I see A thousand people gaze at me To break the ice I start to sing About a cell called everything A cell so big a word like small Is suitable to say it all Is the fighting over? I lost track Like a wave it all comes back Same kaleidoscope I see Someone standing next to me It's hard to do, it's hard to try Hard to stop wondering why Do I keep filing every case When the answer's on your face You can't see her but you do Music is transparent too So join me, sing with all your might Hallelujah, praise tonight Far away and long ago Wintertime meant feeling low Now every single star looks bright God was in my bed last night Into my arms – Nick Cave

I don't believe in an interventionist God But I know, darling, that you do But if I did I would kneel down and ask Him Not to intervene when it came to you Not to touch a hair on your head To leave you as you are And if He felt He had to direct you Then direct you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms

And I don't believe in the existence of angels But looking at you I wonder if that's true But if I did I would summon them together And ask them to watch over you To each burn a candle for you To make bright and clear your path And to walk, like Christ, in grace and love And guide you into my arms

Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms

And I believe in Love And I know that you do too And I believe in some kind of path That we can walk down, me and you So keep your candlew burning And make her journey bright and pure That she will keep returning Always and evermore

Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms, O Lord Into my arms
