Track Listing
Quien dicen que soy you / Who do you say that I am
The Lord's my shepherd
Open my ears, open my eyes
Comme un souffle fragile / Like a tender breath, stirring
First born of Mary
Praise the One who breaks the darkness
You are holy
There is a well / Un pozo hay
Let the children come to me
Woza nomthwalo wakho / Come, bring your burdens to God
Come unto me
Nothing is lost on the breath of God
Calm me, Lord
Jesus, be the center
How can I say
Jesus walked this lonesome valley
So much wrong
Kyrie
Jesus has done so much for me
For me to live is Christ
My soul cries out
