FOR ALWAYS
( Thomas K., Winans B., Sprague B.)

Remembering so well
The day that I met you
You took me in your arms
And caused dreams to come true
From the fear of what would be
You came and rescued me

Lord, I pray today
For the rest of my life
Live inside my heart
Please, stay for always
Till the timeless place
When we’re face to face
And we embrace for always

I look ahead and see
The hills that I must climb
Some high, some low
But if you need I’ll go
And at the end I’ll see
You were always there with me

Lord, I pray today…

 

JUST A LITTLE TALK WITH JESUS
( Cleavant, Derricks )

I once was lost in sin
but Jesus took me in
And then a little light from heaven
filled my soul
He bathed my heart in love
and wrote my name above
And just a little talk with Jesus
made me whole

Have a little talk with Jesus
Tell Him all about your troubles
He will hear your faintest cry
He will answer by and by
When you feel a little prayer wheel turning
And you will know a little fire is burning
You will find a little talk with Jesus
makes it alright

alright!

JESUS I WON'T FORGET
( Gray )

Jesus, I won’t forget, never, never!

You saved a wretch like me
Gave me the victory
I won’t forget

You asked me will I turn back?
Never, never!
You asked me will I forget?
Never! Never!

You saved a wretch like me
Gave me the victory
I won’t forget

How can I forget what you’ve done for me?
I won’t forget what you’ve done for me
You’ve gone on the cross
And you died for me
I won’t forget you set me free

OPEN UP MY HEART
( T.W.Aas-Groth )

To open my heart
I need to feel safe
For a long time I’ve been feeling
Very lonely
A pressure so hard…
I’ve longed for relief
Still my deepest pain I’m sharing
With you only.
I caught a glimpse of light
And a change is within sight
Now I’m ready for
The greatest love of all

I will open up my heart
Ready for your holy fire
I will let you into my mind
And into my soul
Pledging my life
Serving you is my desire
I won’t be holding back at all
Responding to your call

I struggled with life
Unwilling to share
I’ve been living in a world
Of pent-up feelings
When opening up
A heart can be hurt
It feels so much safer
just to keep pretending
But the facts have brought to light
And I know the time is right
Now I’m ready for the greatest love of all

I’ve never known a better feeling
Still this is nothing but the start
You showed me a love
That’s so revealing
And you have touched my heart

 

YOU CAN NEVER ASK TOO MUCH OF LOVE
( Dent C., Foster D., Thompson L.)

Love has got the perfect plan
I've finally come to understand
You can never ask too much of love
Love forgives your greatest sin
With open arms to let you in:
You can never ask too much of love!

I know there’s one thing I’m always sure of:
It's the purest emotion we have
Love’s a never ending circle
That brings us around to face ourselves.

I will never turn my back on you again
I won't deny how hard you've tried
And all you've been
Time and time again I've found this truth
will always last
You can never ask too much of love

In an ordinary heart
the extraordinary part is
you can never ask too much of love
There's no time no way to measure:
Loves' an open, endless treasure
You can never ask too much of love
I know there’s one thing I’m always sure of
it's the purest emotion that we have
Love is one never ending circle
That brings us around to face ourselves

I will never turn my back on you…

You can never ask too much of love

PUT A LITTLE LOVE IN YOUR HEART
( De Shannon J., Myers R., Holiday J.)

Think of your fellow man
Lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart

You see, it’s getting late
Oh, please don’t hesitate
Put a little love in your heart

And the world
Will be a better place
And the world
Will be a better place
For you and me
Just wait and see

Another day goes by
And still the children cry
Put a little love in your heart

If you want the world to know
We won’t let hatred grow
Put a little love in your heart

And the world…

Take a good look around
And if you’re looking down
Put a little love in your heart

I hope when you decide
Kindness will be your guide
Put a little love in your heart

And the world…

I WOKE UP THIS MORNING
( Traditional )

I woke up this morning
with my mind all set on Jesus

HALLELU, HALLELU
HALLELU, HALLELU
HALLELUJAH!
I’m gonna walk, walk, walk
Set on freedom

There ain’t no arms to keep my mind
It’s all set on freedom
HALLELU, HALLELU
HALLELU, HALLELU
HALLELUJAH!
I’m gonna walk, walk, walk
Set on freedom

I’m walking and talking with my mind
Set on freedom

HALLELU, HALLELU
HALLELU, HALLELU
HALLELUJAH!

I’m gonna walk, walk, walk
I’m gonna talk, talk, talk
Set on freedom

I WANNA BE MORE
( Winans B.)

In the course of this life
Some friends you gain, some you lose
And in the back of your mind
You’re searching for love without the blues

That’s why I’ve come from far away
To take away the blues and I’ve come to say

I wanna be more than just somebody
I wanna be more than just a friend
I wanna be more than someone special
‘cause special friends sometimes won’t understand

Now we can laugh and share the pain
All of the tears and joyous gains

And when all others fail to show
Hope you believe and always know
That I’ll be with you until the end
Not just the good times, like fair weathered friends

I wanna be more than just somebody…

So give me a chance to show you need me
Give me a try to prove I’m right
Then if you decide to live without me
Don’t never ever say I came and passed your way
Left you standing there
without a hope or prayer
Don’t never ever say I passed you by
‘cause you’re my reason why
I wanna be more

WHAT DO I HAVE
(H. Small - S. Climie)

Used to wake up every morning
getting ready to go to work
Felt a pain I can’t deny
knew what I wanted but it’s hard to find
all the time holding out for a love that I deserve
and the tears they finally dried
the moment you came into my life

In my heart I can feel it
in my mind I can see it
I just have to believe it
what do I have, if I don’t have you?

Oh, I really can’t believe
how much my life has changed
when I look into your eyes
all my fears are swept away
now I wake up every morning
and see a brand new day
through the struggle I’ll survive
a moment with you renews my faith

In my heart I can feel it
in my mind I can see it
And You make me believe it
what do I have, if I don’t have you?

Be my guide when I need one
shine your light show me freedom
Now I know there’s a reason
what do I have, if I don’t have you?

Every second every minute every day
tell the truth and I’m not ashamed to say
I live for your love.
You gave me hope when I was out in the cold
you’re all that matters to my heart and to my soul

I live for your love
what do I have, if I don’t have you?

In my heart I can feel it
in my mind I can see it
And You make me believe it
what do I have, if I don’t have you?

You’re my guide when I need one
shine your light show me freedom
Now my life has a reason
what do I have, if I don’t have you?

LOVE IS LIKE A NEWBORN CHILD
( Brown O.)

Love's beginning
Hearts enchanted
Full of bright new dreams
But we can't take love for granted
Yes to me it seems
A new love is like a new born child
Tender and sweet and a-need of care
Precious indeed
Is the love we share
Like a new born child
Like a tiny baby
Till it grows up strong
You lullaby a new love
With a happy song
Because a new love
Is like a new born child
Charish and guard it
and hold it close
Give it your heart
And just pray it grow
And it grows to be something special
Something grand
Something heaven must have planned
Like a tiny new born child
Like a lovely
New born child...

IN THE MEANTIME
( Winans B., Thomas K. )

I don’t know how
But I know I’ll make it over
I don’t know when
But You said You’ll bring me through
Not yet there
Yet I can see my destination
Earnest prayer
Is to be right there with You

But in the meantime
I’ll keep on loving
In the meantime
I’m gonna keep on loving You
In the meantime
On this side of heaven
In the meantime
I’m gonna keep on loving You
Love me forever…Just don’t wanna be lonely

You taught me how
How to love all my brothers
Given me
A certain job that I must do
Won’t be long
Till that day of celebration
Sing my song
A song of joy when I’m with You

Until these days are not more
That keeps us separated
I will serve You

But in the meantime…
Love me forever…
Say I’ll never be lonely

BRIDGE OVER TROUBLED WATER
( P.Simon )

When you're weary,
Feeling small,
When tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I'm on your side
When times get rough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

And when you're down and out
When you're on the street
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part
When darkness comes
And pain is all around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down

Sail on silver, boy, sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
If you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will ease your mind.

 

I KNOW HE WILL
( Settles C., Nelson L )

You can tell me God won’t make a way for you
You can tell me He won’t see you through
But… I know He can!
I know He will!
Yes, I know He will!
He made a way for Daniel
In the lions’ den
He locked the jaws of the lion
And made him be his friend
I know He can!
I know He will!
Yes, I know He will!
Now, if you’re down and feel alone
He can surely bring you hope
And if you trust and never doubt
He will surely bring you out
I know He can!
I know He will!
Yes, I know He will!

CAN’ T NOBODY DO ME LIKE JESUS
( Traditional )

Can’t nobody do me like Jesus
Can’t nobody do me like the Lord
Can’t nobody do me like Jesus
Because He’s my friend

Healed my body, told me to run on
Healed my body, told me to run on
Healed my body, told me to run on
Because He’s my friend
