White Heart

Oh won't you come with me

To a hill called Calvary

See the face
of a bruised and dying man


Can anyone explain

The mystery beyond the pain
of this place

Where love is born again



Once and for all

Well, He gave His life

He bled and died

The sacrifice for all

Who will take His name?

Once and for all



Oh, won't you come and see

The tide of all humanity, every race

They come on bended knee


We cannot close the door

That isn't why He fought the war
of this place

Everyone can be free


Once and for all

Well, He gave His life

He bled and died

The sacrifice for all

Who will take His name?



Once and for all

Open wide the doors

There's room for more

Tell all the world

that a heart can soar

when you call upon His Holy name


Once and for all

There is freedom

Once and for all

There is healing

Love sealed it
Once and for all


Once and for all
Who will take His Name?
Once and for all
Call upon His Name
Once and for all

It goes on and on

Out to everyone

Who will call upon His Name?

(Once and for all)
Oh, the tide will turn

For all those who yearn

For a heart that burns

With His flame

Once and for all (2X)

It goes on and on and on...Lyrics provided by TANCODEhttp://lyricsever.com/" readonly=""/>

Once and for All (From "Highlands") Lyrics

Oh won't you come with me

Where love is born again



Once and for all

Well, He gave His life

He bled and died

The sacrifice for all

Who will take His name?

Once and for all



Oh, won't you come and see

The tide of all humanity, every race

They come on bended knee


We cannot close the door

That isn't why He fought the war
of this place

Everyone can be free


Once and for all

Well, He gave His life

He bled and died

The sacrifice for all

Who will take His name?



Once and for all

Open wide the doors

There's room for more

Tell all the world

that a heart can soar

when you call upon His Holy name


Once and for all

There is freedom

Once and for all

There is healing

Love sealed it
Once and for all


Once and for all
Who will take His Name?
Once and for all
Call upon His Name
Once and for all

It goes on and on

Out to everyone

Who will call upon His Name?

(Once and for all)
Oh, the tide will turn

For all those who yearn

For a heart that burns

With His flame

Once and for all (2X)

It goes on and on and on...

The American group White Heart has had one of the longest careers in Christian rock, beginning in 1982 with the release of their debut album WHITE HEART and lasting all the way to 1997, when their last album REDEMPTION was released. Through these years they have been considered among the pioneers of Christian rock, and their popularity has not wavered, despite frequent personnel changes. The band's musical style is not totally straight-forward, as it includes a hint of progressiveness.

White Heart has never actually stated that they have disbanded, but there hasn't been any consistent musical activity by them as a group since 1997. However, in August 2006 they had a reunion concert at the third annual Soul2Soul Honors event in New Albany, Indiana (Louisville, Kentucky), with the following line-up: Billy Smiley, Rick Florian, Mark Gershmel, Tommy Sims, Jon Knox and Gordon Kennedy.
