One of the highlight events of my high school life is a musical we did entitled "Room 77." It was really neat! To the side of the stage was the choir and on the stage there were the actors/dancers. The musical basically focused on the lives of 3 very different people going to the same school and their encounter with God in room 77. I've managed to get the lyrics for some of the songs but I found it very difficult to get the lyrics for all of them.
1. Here We Go Again
2. Nothing Ever Happens in this School
3. Don’t Blame Me
4. Try Honesty
5. Is there a Harbor?
Water into wine
Weeping into laughter
In another time--Another age
Healing of the blind
Stillness from disaster
Lookin for a sign we turn the page
And the pressures of a reckless society
Are enough to make a strong man's knees go weak
And the questions from the masses
Filled with anxiety
seem to be sayin'
You can hear them prayin'
Chorus:
Is there no harbor?
Is there no resting place?
Is there no refuge--no quiet sound?
Is there no lighthouse?
Is there no peace be still?
Is there no anchor to higher ground?
Some days I can find
Power for the hour
On the battled line against the rage
Confidence is high
Like a mighty tower
Still I question why
Do I have these weaker days
And will retreat become my battlecry tonight
No, no I can see the revelation
And it's bringin' the Truth to light
There is a harbor
There is a resting place
There is a refuge--a quiet sound
There is a lighthouse
There is a peace be still
There is an anchor to higher ground
6. The Peace that Passes Understanding
Seasons of my soul they come and go
But as they slip away I know
Something else remains that will not change
Places in my heart are torn apart
But in my brokedness I find
Something stays behind that will not change
Chorus:
The peace that passes understanding
Is a blessing that will never fade away
The peace that passes understanding
Is here to stay
The peace that passes understanding
Never passes away
Lord in times alone my heart has known
The quiet words of your tender love
And your gentle touch that changes me
Even through the storm I'm safe and I'm warm
For you have covered me with grace
In your hiding place I am at peace
Peace comes like the dawn
Peace like the world can't understand
You take my hand and I stand
Though others may fall
7. Don't Keep It a Secret
8. Would I know You Now?
Would I know You now
If You walked into the room
If you stilled the crowd
If You light dispelled the gloom
And if I saw Your wounds
Touched Your thorn pierced brow
I wonder if I'd know You now
Would I know You now
If You walked into this place
Would I cause You shame
Would my games be Your disgrace
Or would I worship You
Fall down upon my face
I wonder if I'd know You now
Or have the images I've painted
So distorted who You are
That even if the world was looking
They could not see You--The real You
Have I changed the true reflection
To fulfill my own design
Making You what I want
Not showing You forth divine
Would I miss You now
If You left and closed the door
Would my flesh cry out
"I don't need You anymore"
Or would I follow You
Seek to be restored
I wonder--I wonder
Will I ever learn
I wonder--Would I ever know You now
9. Friend of a Wounded Heart
Smile, make them think you're happy
Lie, and say that things are fine.
And hide that empty longing that you feel
Don't ever show it, just keep your heart concealed.
Why are the days so lonely?
I wonder where, where can a heart go free?
And who will dry the tears that no one sees?
There must be someone to share your silent dreams.
Caught like a leaf in the wind
Looking for a friend, where can you turn?
Whisper the words of a prayer
And you'll find Him there, arms open wide, love in His eyes.
Chorus:
Jesus, He meets you where you are
Oh, Jesus, He heals your secret scars
All the love you're longing for is Jesus
The friend of a wounded heart
Joy, comes like the the morning
Hope, deepens as you grow
and peace, beyond the reaches of your soul
Comes blowing through you
For love has made you whole
Once like a leaf in the wind
Looking for a friend, where could you turn?
You spoke the words of a prayer
And you found Him there
Arms open wide
Love in His eyes
10. We Need Each Other
