Savita Naik This is my favorite from Nate’s first album. It has taken me through many dark nights and brought me back into God’s presence a million times or more ! I’ve been begging him to make this available in the digital age. Thanks Nate! During my back surgery and recovery this song was more effective than anything in my recovery! You are awesome Nate! A blessing to all who hear you! May God bless you always! Love you! Savita Favorite track: I Am With You.

Don't Stop Short Written by Nate Sabin © 1990/ Lorilu Music/ ASCAP We knew when we began it would not be an easy road Didn't he say "take up your cross and follow me" But we don't have to be afraid of carrying that load He will walk beside us Bear our burdens with us He will give us all the strength we need Don't stop short Of the goal Keep on walking Don't you know If we believe and just be patient We will reach our destination if we Don't look back Don't lose hope And don't stop short of the goal We set out with determination burning in our eyes Certain that we would make it all the way somehow Now we can't let discouragement steal away our prize Though we may be tested Think of what's invested We've come much too far to turn back now Don't stop short Of the goal Keep on walking Don't you know If we believe and just be patient We will reach our destination if we Don't look back Don't lose hope And don't stop short of the goal

This Is Love Written by Nate Sabin © 1990/ Lorilu Music/ ASCAP There is a beautiful thing I’ve seen Shinin’ from a reborn babies face It’s the love of Jesus Love that can wash us and make us clean Love that covers enmity with grace It’s the love of Jesus This is love This heart-mending love This is lifesaving love This is unending Love that sets you free And lets you be What you were meant to be Thank God for the love I don’t know why people have to hate Can’t we see that the thing we’re runnin’ from Is the power that frees us This is a power that can recreate Any kind of a person we’ve become It’s the love of Jesus This is love This heart-mending love This is lifesaving love This is unending Love that sets you free And lets you be What you were meant to be Thank God for the love

Missing Minnesota Written by Nate Sabin © 1990/ Lorilu Music/ ASCAP Minnesota memories Colorful as autumn leaves Just won’t let me fall asleep tonight I’ve been dreamin' wide awake Of a harvest moonlit lake Home is just too far away tonight It’s really not as cold as they say At least as far as I can recall Here in my memory It’s warm as a family Sittin’ by a fireside, watchin’ the snow fall Somewhere in this wandering heart of mine There will always be a northern light I never saw it shine so bright Missin’ Minnesota tonight Southern friends can’t understand Why I feel so good and bad Whenever I get in this sky blue state of mind It’s really not as cold as they say At least as far as I can recall Here in my memory It’s warm as a family Sittin’ by a fireside, watchin’ the snow fall Somewhere in this wandering heart of mine There will always be a northern light I never saw it shine so bright Missin’ Minnesota tonight Missin’ Minnesota Don’t you ever miss your own sweet home Like I’m missin’ mine Tonight

Time to Love 03:30

Time to Love Written by Nate Sabin © 1990/ Lorilu Music/ ASCAP Holding on tight to a trembling hand Whispering, “i understand” Kneeling to share an assuring smile Eye to eye with a child Little things in life can mean so much A warm word or a tender touch Gifts that we can all afford to give Giving is receiving in return Oh, if we could just begin to learn The simple secret of taking the time to love But we’re busy with so many other things Living in a prison of our day-to-day routines We race to make the payments on the things we know will fade And neglect the best investments to be made Giving a part of yourself away To someone who can’t repay Spending a moment, or two, or three Sharing love, selflessly Little things in life can mean so much A warm word or a tender touch Gifts that we can all afford to give Giving is receiving in return Oh, if we could just begin to learn The simple secret of taking the time to love Taking the time The time to love

I Am WIth You Written by Nate Sabin © 1990/ Lorilu Music/ ASCAP In the night In the day I am with you In the sun In the rain I am near In the dark troubled time I am here to clear your mind I am with you to the end Never fear When your skies turn to gray I am with you When your friends walk away I am near When you're lost and alone Come to me I'll be your home I am with you to the end Never fear Call me Alpha and Omega Call me Father Call me Friend Call me anytime you'll find that I'm close at hand I am closer than a heartbeat I am Master of the Wind Everything you need for me to be I am If you stand If you fall I am with you If you can't even call I can hear If you cry in the night I will be the morning light I am with you to the end Never fear Never fear

That's Enough Written by Nate Sabin © 1990/ Lorilu Music/ ASCAP I may not know the meanin' of everything I see I may not always know just what you're doin' with me I may not always understand when the road gets rough But I know you love me And that's enough Lord, I've never known a friend, faithful as you I trust you as the pilot of my soul So when a storm arises and I can't see my way through I just keep on smilin' Confident that you are in control I may not know the meanin' of everything I see I may not always know just what you're doin' with me I may not always understand when the road gets rough But I know you love me And that's enough Lord, I must confess sometimes I feel so confused And life is like a song without a rhyme But in those times I've learned to leave the worryin' up to you And I just keep on singin' Believin' that I'll understand in time I've learned your ways are so much higher than mine You see the end from the beginning of time I may not know the meanin' of everything I see I may not always know just what you're doin' with me I may not always understand when the road gets rough But I know you love me And that's enough

Temptation 04:27

Temptation Written by Nate Sabin © 1990/ Lorilu Music/ ASCAP He slips in silently If you don't lock the door Makes himself at home in the back of your mind He moves in subtly And waits for you to drop your guard He knows what he wants But he's willing to take his time He'll win you over with his salesman smile Always careful not to mention the price He sounds so sensible When he tells you not to think twice Temptation He's a killer in disguise A green-eyed nice guy Pockets full of white lies I'm warnin' you now If you value your life Learn to recognize and avoid Temptation He whispers wooingly If you've got an open ear Everything you need, you can get it from him If you listen long enough He'll tell you what you want to hear It sounds so good You forget about the wages of sin He'll win you over with his salesman smile Always careful not to mention the price He sounds so sensible When he tells you not to think twice Temptation He's a killer in disguise A green-eyed nice guy Pockets full of white lies I'm warnin' you now If you value your life Learn to recognize and avoid Temptation

Wake Up Get Ready Written by Nate Sabin © 1990/ Lorilu Music/ ASCAP Wake up, get ready Wake up, it’s time to get ready Wake up, get ready Got to be ready to see the king The Lord compared his coming with a thief in the night Stealing in to take his bride away We should all be waiting up and leaving on the light Just in case the Lord decides to come for us today Wake up, get ready Wake up, it’s time to get ready Wake up, get ready Got to be ready to see the king When you least expect him to, the Lord will come again And it will all be over in a wink There will be no time for you to reconsider then Get yourself together friend It’s later than you think Wake up, get ready Wake up, it’s time to get ready Wake up, get ready Got to be ready to see the king Got to be ready to see the king

Forged out of adversity Like iron from the flame One by one they emerge Men of pure integrity Defenders of the name of the God that they serve Strangers to safety They offer their all Seeking no earthly reward Willing to die or to live for the cause of the Lord Heroes of the faith Bold and unafraid Champions with the courage to step out and the lead the way Heroes of the faith The fearless and the brave Common men who rise up and conquer These are the heroes today Marching on the gates of Hell Challenging the reign Of the god of this world Advancing with authority Into the dark domain With the Light of the World Braving the night with a solemn resolve To rescue the prisoners of war Willing to die or to live for the cause of the Lord Heroes of the faith Bold and unafraid Champions with the courage to step out and the lead the way Heroes of the faith The fearless and the brave Common men who rise up and conquer These are the heroes today Heroes of the faith Bold and unafraid Champions with the courage to step out and the lead the way Heroes of the faith The fearless and the brave Common men who rise up and conquer These are the heroes today
