In The End
When the day is through
I rest my weary mind
And dream of endless pleasures
The happiness that's to be mine
It all takes time
When the night is through
I rise to greet the sun
To seek those endless pleasures
The happiness is not around
Left to be found
Searching for the truth
Hidden among the lies
One day I'll see the light
And watch the justice rise
When the world is through
I'll know which way to turn
To find my endless pleasures
The happiness to have my friend
In the end in the end in the end

You Can't Make It Without
You can't make
an ocean without water
You can't make
a forest without trees
You can't make
a friend without strangers
You can't make
a stranger out of me
You can't take
a baby from its mother
You can't take
the secrets from the sea
You can't take
a stand without believing
You can't take
your love away from me
Like a bright light shining on the sea
Your love shines the way for me
Like a far star shining in the night
Your love makes me feel alright
You'll never get
old until tomorrow
You'll never get
anything for free
You'll never be
happy without love
You'll never be
lonely with me

Confessions
Since I've opened up my eyes
I can see things
I've never seen before
Since I've opened up my heart
I can see that
I've grown to love you more
Love you more love you more
Since I've opened up my mind
I can feel that I now understand
Since I've opened up my soul
I can feel
when you take me by the hand
By the hand by the hand
I've never seen myself this way
I've said it all
I've got nothing more to say
Except I love you I love you
Since I've opened up inside
I can know
how to be a better man
Since I've opened up to you
I can know
that you'll take me as I am
As I am as I am

What Will You Do
What will you do
when your friends have gone
there's no one left but you
What will you say
when your friends have left you
and you are feeling blue
Will you think about
the times you shared
or realize they never cared
What will you do
when your friends have gone
will you sigh
What will you do
when your love has gone
and left you on your own
What will you say
when your love has left you
the only one you've known
Will you want to have
another chance
or say goodbye to sweet romance
What will you do
when your love has gone
will you cry
I don't know what would happen
if time should fade away
When there is no tomorrow
there's only yesterday
What will you do
when the world has gone
and left you feeling down
What will you say
when the world has left you
with no one else around
Will you smile and want it all again
or shed a tear
for what you've been
What will you do
when the world has gone
will you die
Now what will you do
when the world has gone
will you die

Time Slips Away
Without reason without cause
Change of season just because
Passing quickly day to day
Before you know it time slips away
Growing older getting wise
Understanding realize
Moving ever in a daze
I can feel it as time slips away
All of life’s pressures causing stress
Too much to handle under duress
Take it slow will help I guess
But still there’s little time
Wanting so bad to be with you
And you seem to want it too
Better hurry better stay
Take me now before
time slips away
Time slips away slips away time

I'm Waiting
It's hard when you
have to wait for someone
When you have
a million things to say
Time seems to drag
emotions to sag
And nothing seems to ever
go your way
It's hard when you sit
and wait for something
When you have
a million things to do
You want it so bad
it's making you mad
And no one seems to
realize but you
And here I am again I'm waiting
Waiting for my life to turn around
But no matter how long
you'll still find me here
Waiting for the
best love that I've found
It's hard when you wait
and wait for someday
When you have
a million things to be
Life still goes on until life is gone
And no one seems to realize but me
And here I am again I'm waiting
Waiting for my life to turn around
But no matter how long
you'll still find me here
Waiting for the
best love that I've found
But no matter how long
you're still find me here
Waiting for the
best love that I've found

By The Love Of God
It don't take much to see
The things He made
for you and me
It don't take much to know
That things like us
need love to grow
I thought I had it made
Till I was lost and so afraid
I thought I had it all
Till I was down and took a fall
Everything I've ever had
Everything I've ever done
Everything I'll ever see
Everywhere and everyone
All the riches in my life
All I am and all I'll be
Is only by the love of God
A love for you and me
I never thought I'd see
The day I'd find
such love for me
I never thought I'd find
Such peaceful heart
and soul and mind
I can't believe the change
My thoughts my actions
not the same
I can't believe how I'll
Have love eternal when I die
Everything I've ever had
Everything I've ever done
Everything I'll ever see
Everywhere and everyone
All the riches in my life
All I am and all I'll be
Is only by the love of God
A love for you and me

Heaven Bound
Heaven bound heaven bound
I once was so lost
but now I'm found
Jesus is my Saviour
tell it all around
My Lord almighty
I'm heaven bound
I was born a sinner
just the same as you
Never cared about
religion or the truth
Then one day I found out
Jesus is the Way
Help me make it Lord I pray
Always told the story
but I never heard
Now I read the Bible
hungry for the Word
Jesus said repent
and go and sin no more
I've found the eternal door
Heaven bound heaven bound
I once was so lost
but now I'm found
Jesus is my Saviour
tell it all around
My Lord almighty
I'm heaven bound
If you still wander
can't find your way
I'm here to tell you
to kneel down and pray
Ask for forgiveness
then go forgive
And in Christ you must live
Heaven bound heaven bound
I once was so lost
but now I'm found
Jesus is my Saviour
tell it all around
My Lord almighty
I'm heaven bound
Heaven bound heaven bound
I once was so lost
but now I'm found
Jesus is my Saviour
tell it all around
My Lord almighty
I'm heaven bound
My Lord almighty
I'm heaven bound
My Lord almighty
I'm heaven bound

Jesus Is
There are times
I feel so deserted
Like my life
is passing me by
All my friends
have gone on without me
Left alone to lay down and die
Then I remember
the One who loves me
Whenever I am feeling like this
He's the only One
the Father's Son
My Jesus is
Jesus is always beside me
Jesus is the One who died for me
And I pray that He knows
that I am His
I want the world to know
my Jesus is
I believe the Word of the Father
And the love that He has for me
Do my best
to keep His commandments
Even though
I sometimes can't see
Then I remember
the One who loves me
And the promise of eternal bliss
He's the Sovereign One
His will be done
My Jesus is
Jesus is always within me
Jesus is the One
who walks with me
And I pray that He knows
that I am His
I want the world to see
my Jesus is
Jesus is always beside me
Jesus is the One who died for me
And I pray that He knows
that I am His
I want the world to know
my Jesus is
I want the world to know
my Jesus is

I Do For You
It seems like
I've heard it all before
You never know
what's behind each door
One closes
and a part of you will end
But soon another opens and then
You find your life is better now
It makes you stop
and wonder how He knew
Jesus I don't understand
but everything I do I do for You
I think I've been
down this road before
I give and take but take even more
That's not how I want my life to be
But somehow
the world takes hold of me
I know that's not the way to live
To plant a seed
you've got to give what's due
Jesus help me understand
so everything I do I do for You
I pray to God
that I may know the truth
Jesus help me live my life for You
Lord help me know
what I should do
And give me strength
to find my way to You
And as the years
keep passing slowly by
I pray that I will live until I die
And follow the path You laid for me
By being all You made me to be
Someday may I see Your face
For Heaven is my final place
it's true
Jesus I will understand
and everything I do I do for You
Jesus let me understand
that everything I do I do for You

Rich Man
There was a time
when I thought that I had alot
I was so proud of all that I'd got
Never wanted to share
all that was mine
Just wanted more and more
all I could find
Then the Lord came to me
and answered my prayers
Showed me how to be rich
I wasn't aware
Now I'm poor in a worldly
material way
But I'm such a rich man
in a spiritual way
The word of God says
to share all of your stuff
You gotta give it away
and you'll have enough
It used to be so hard
to understand
Thought I was happy
with riches at hand
Then the Lord came to me
and opened my eyes
Took from me my money
and even my pride
Showed me how to live
in an obedient way
Now I'm such a rich man
in a spiritual way
I'm such a rich man
I have all I need
Never again to have envy or greed
I'm such a rich man
with all that I own
Gonna follow my Savior
till he calls me home

Don't Let Me Go Back
I remember when I thought of life
As just another game to play
Nobody could tell me anything
You know I'm not the same today
I used to be a fool for many things
Things I couldn't understand
But as I grew older everything
Seemed to fit into the plan
Now I'm finding different pleasures
And one of them is you
Don't let me go back to the way I was
Show me how to make it through
It seems to me I grew up overnight
Even though I've just begun
Nobody ever really needs to stop
Until they're clear of everyone
And in my future years I'm gonna try
To learn about the ways of man
And in my journeys
I hope you'll be there
I'll learn to love you if I can
Now I'm finding different pleasures
And one of them is you
Don't let me go back to the way I was
Show me how to make it through

To The East
Well I've told you before
not to do any more
But you never listen to what I say
As you push and you shove
for the ones that you love
But it doesn't help you anyway
If you look in your mind
I am sure you will find
That you've found
what you've been looking for
You've discovered your fate
but you found it too late
And now you'll be able
to do no more
And you must leave your home
to the East you must roam
To discover who you are
what you are and why
And then if you succeed
that is all you will need
To be on your way to dreams afar
And though some like the West
I think East is the best
To discover who you really are

Thank You
Yesterday I went away
but luckily I didn't stay
Suddenly I realized
Once before I closed the door
but I won't close it anymore
Can't you see it in my eyes
Anything you say I will find a way
Everything I do I do for you
Anytime at all just give me a call
Every time you do I want you to
Thank you for
the way you make me feel
Thank you for
I know the feeling's real
Thank you for
the happiness you always
bring my way
Thank you for
the sunshine that brightens up
my day
Thank you for
the way you make me feel
In a while I see a smile
that's given in a special style
Makes me want to speak my mind
Loving you the way I do and
wishing that you only knew
Maybe someday you will find
Anywhere I go
people seem to know
Everywhere I see
them all around
Anyone I see
seems to see through me
Everyone can tell
the love I've found

All I Can Say
Every day and every way
all I can say is I love you
All day through and night time too
all I can do is to love you
I could just turn my head
and not believe it's real
But I can't get away
from all the love I feel
Tell me no but even so
all that I know is I love you
I could just hide away
and not believe it's true
But I can't live without
the love I feel for you
Every day and every way
all I can say is I love you
I love you

Forgive And Forget
Forgive well I thought I did it well
But it seems I’d only tell you I did
You did every time I made you cry
When I said the reasons why
you’d forgive me and still love me
But I know I done you wrong
every time that
you’d long just to live
But I’m here to tell you now
that I’ve learned from you
how to forgive
Please forgive
Forget well I’d see them in my head
All the feelings that I dreaded to get
I’d let all the silly memories
Always get the best of me
and I’m sorry
but don’t worry
Cause I’ve finally realized
by the sadness in your eyes
when we met
And I’m here to tell you now
that I’ve learned from you
how to forget
Please forget
Please forgive me as I grow
and I won’t forget to show
as I give
And I’m here to tell you now
that I’ve learned from you
how to forgive
And forget forgive and forget

Something More
Wake up each morning
I look around
Smell each aroma
hear every sound
See all the beauty
surrounding me
Things just don't happen
know there's got to be
Something more
I look inside me what do I find
An aching body a tired mind
Somebody told me
got what you need
It didn't help me got to believe
Something more
Created the heavens
the earth and the fire
Created man and gave him desire
To find the answer to help him grow
Gave him the wisdom
so he could know
Something more
No need to wonder no need to fear
I got the answer got it right here
It's God the Father Jesus the Son
The Holy Spirit the Three-In-One
Something more something more
Something more something more

My Lord And My Lady
Sometimes I think
there'll never be
That one and only one for me
'Cause I've had love
that's come and gone
But no one's been
that special one
Sometimes I think
I've tried too hard
I've lost too much
let down my guard
I thought I had to have a girl
To share my love
to share my world
But I found out God has a plan
For every woman every man
If I'll be patient wait and see
My Lord will bring my lady to me
I've had my fun throughout my life
Three precious kids
from my ex-wife
It wasn't good it wasn't bad
I don't think love is what we had
And since that time
I've fooled around
And many times I thought I'd found
But I was wrong it wasn't right
And now I sleep alone at night
But I found out God has a plan
For every woman every man
If I'll be patient wait and see
My Lord will bring my lady to me

In A Moment
Born in a moment
time long ago
Live for a lifetime
till you must go
Look to the heavens
where you can be
Free from the burdens eternity
Think for a moment
what have you done
Find in your mem'ry
search for the One
Tell to the mountains
rivers that flow
Seek for direction
then you will know
Hear what I tell you
don't tune me out
Love is the answer
spread it about
Laugh with the living
mourn for the dead
Jesus is coming
heed what He said

And I feel like a pawn being used
My Lord I pray to You
Give me wisdom strength and truth
Show me the way I should go
I believe in my heart that You know
I can do all things through You
Help me be what You want me to
Let me see Your plans for me
And I will be
My Lord I praise Your name
Take away my hurt and shame
Help me to be a man
And I promise to do what I can
Show me the way I should go
I believe in my heart that You know
I can do all things through You
Help me be what You want me to
Let me see Your plans for me

In The Lost And Found
There was a time so long ago
So many things I didn't know
I thought that I was doing fine
Lost in my world of me and mine
But then You came
and made me see
It's all for You and not for me
And now I walk
the hallowed ground
You'll find my soul
in the lost and found
When I was young I had no cares
So innocent so unaware
And as I grew I changed inside
Replaced my youth
with grown-up pride
I shunned the truth
I turned away
But thanks to You
I'm back to stay
And now I walk
the hallowed ground
You'll find my soul
in the lost and found
I'll tell the world
of God's sweet grace
The comfort found
in His embrace
And now I walk
the hallowed ground
You'll find my soul
in the lost and found
You'll find my soul
in the lost and found

Come To Christ
Got a message for you
one you need to hear
Gonna make it simple
gonna make it clear
Ask me and I'll tell you
even tell you twice
If you want to live forever
come to Christ
Took some time to learn it
but I'm glad I did
Momma told me every day
since I was a kid
Now she's up in heaven
but I still hear her advice
She said son one thing
make sure you come to Christ
Come to Christ
if your world is empty
Come to Christ
if you're feeling down
Come to Christ
if you're lost and looking
and need to be found
After all your drink
and all of your drugs
and nothing has sufficed
If you're looking for the answer
come to Christ
Now's the time to do it
whatcha waiting for
All you gotta do is knock
He'll open up the door
God has made it easy
to live eternally
Have faith and read the Word
but most of all believe
Hope you hear my message
hope you heed this call
Forever's waiting
and you can have it all
When this earth has failed you
once you've realized
There's a way for you to make it
come to Christ
Come to Christ
if your world is empty
Come to Christ
if you're feeling down
Come to Christ
if you're lost and looking
and need to be found
After all your drink
and all of your drugs
and nothing has sufficed
If you're looking for the answer
come to Christ
If you want to live forever
come to Christ
She said son one thing
make sure you come to Christ

Another Year
Summer now is fading
Winter's coming round
Broken leaves are falling
To the ground without a sound
Can you hear them too
Summer loves are ending
Autumn loves begin
Children come together
Once again with their friends
Are they friends like you
And when the cold wind blows
Your love will ease the pain
And keep me warm
through every storm
And melt the freezing rain
And when the winter's over
Spring will reappear
And nature will awaken
Another year has disappeared
Where has it gone my friend

I Won't Make It Alone
Let me try to put it into words
Let me try to tell you what I've heard
Let me tell you why I feel this way
Let me tell you what I want to say
I need your love I want your love
And I won't make it alone
Help me to decide the way to be
Help me to achieve my destiny
Help me stay within my battered mind
Help me stay among the living kind
I need you now I want you now
And I won't make it alone
It's strange when
the whole world's against you
It's hard not to feel the hurt and pain
A man can't be helped
if he won't help himself
So I guess I'll help myself again
Show me how
to overcome my fears
Show me how
to better with the years
Show me that
it's good to have a friend
Show me that
I haven't reached the end
I need your love I want your love
And I won't make it alone

Lonely Old Man
See the man with the broken smile
If you can won't you stay awhile
When he ran he was only a child
Touch his hand
and understand him now
See him there with the twisted grin
If you dare won't you let him in
No one cares they ignore him again
Never fear he cannot hear you now
Don't feel sorry for
this lonely old man
Don't you worry
'cos he'll do what he can
No one cares to know
this lonely old man
Who is he is it me oh no
See him through
with your empty eyes
If you knew him you'd sympathize
Only you does he not realize
Turn around
looks like you've found him now
Don't feel sorry for
this lonely old man
Don't you worry
'cos he'll do what he can
No one really knows
this lonely old man
Who is he it is me oh yeah

White River
Well the old White River
near my Indiana home
Well I often find that it's on my mind
where ever I may roam
As the old White River
rolls ever on its way
I will see that mighty river
when it carries me home someday
You should see White River
'neath the sunny skies above
See it flowing there
through the summer air
like happiness through love
When I see White River
I will see how life has grown
For I know that mighty river
leads me peacefully to my home

Tear Me Down
A wise man once told me
Son live your life for you
No matter what they tell you
No matter what they do
You'll have friends and family
Keep you occupied
But you'll never be a failure
If you can say you tried
Don't believe in gossip
Until you know the truth
Don't waste your time and energy
On things of little use
Be sure to trust your instincts
But keep an open mind
For everyone is different
So seek until you find
Now there is no glass half empty
Unless you don't believe
No superstitious voodoo
if you please
Just one light keeps on shining
He shows the way to be
No one can tear me down but me
Now there is no glass half empty
Unless you don't believe
No superstitious voodoo
if you please
Just one light keeps on shining
He shows the way to be
No one can tear me down but me
Me me me

My Home
My home isn't home anymore
It's just a house
with some windows and a door
Since I found You all I want to do
Is be by Your side evermore
This house is a place where I stay
But both my home and my heart
are miles away
They're there in Your heart
it's hurts to be apart
But someday I'll come home I pray
Cause loving You
has turned me upside down
Don't recognize my friends myself
don't know this town
It's hard when You're
always in my head
I'd rather make my home
with You instead
My home isn't home anymore
It's just the place I used to live before
But I'm on my way to find a better day
And share life with You forever more
And someday there will be
a home with You for me
No longer to roam
cause You're my home

America, You're Gonna Go Down
"One nation under God"
the children used to say
They pledged allegiance to the flag
and promised to obey
But now the law won't let them
say the words that unite
What is this world coming to
when wrong says "no" to right
"In God we trust"
our money proudly shows
But some say they're offended
and so the evil goes
You can't mention Christ or God
in public avenues
But evil and immoralities
continue to abuse
"America, America,
God shed His grace on thee"
But now you turn your back on Him
"from sea to shining sea"
Your power strength success
and wealth
are spread from town to town
But like all the empires without God,
America, you're gonna go down
"God bless America"
the people like to sing
But most are apprehensive
it doesn't mean a thing
The whole world seems to hate us
a nation all alone
But only God can save us
listen He calls us home
"America, America,
God shed His grace on thee"
But now you turn your back on Him
"from sea to shining sea"
Your power strength success
and wealth
are spread from town to town
But like all the empires without God,
America, you're gonna go down
But like all the empires without God,
America, you're gonna go down
Gonna go down gonna go down

(That's Why I) Trust In The Lord
Now you may think you're invincible
Immune to everything
You live your life in the fastest lane
And take in all that it brings
You're always burning your candle
From end to end as you please
You never think of tomorrow
But pretty soon you will see
That's there's more to life
than the daily grind
If you just look
then you're bound to find
Your future matters if you don't mind
A price that I can afford
And that's why I trust in the Lord
Your greatest wealth is material
But money can't buy you time
There'll come a day of reckoning
In both your lifetime and mine
When all the things
we've accomplished
Won't mean that much anymore
When your success
and your power
Won't get you
through Heaven's door
Yes there's more to life
than the daily grind
If you just look
then you're bound to find
Your future matters if you don't mind
A price that I can afford
And that's why I trust in the Lord
A price that I can afford
And that's why I trust in the Lord

Resurrection Day
Long ago in the
town of Jerusalem
Was an angry mob
was it us or them
Took our King and they said
that Jesus must die
I can still hear them
screaming "crucify"
And He suffered
death and shame
But He told us believe Him
that this was the reason He came
Thank you Jesus thank you Lord
for Resurrection Day
Can't imagine the suffering
and pain that He felt
Took the whips and the worst
that the soldiers all dealt
Let them hit Him and hurt Him
and beat Him and then
Let them hurt Him and hit Him
and beat Him again
And He never said a word
I suppose had He tried
that His words would have
never been heard
Thank you Jesus thank you Lord
for Resurrection Day
Well He died for you
and He died for me
I'm amazed so many people
will not see
Because He rose
we are reborn
Give praise to God
for that first Easter morn
And every year when I hear
the Passion of Christ
Makes me sad to hear
how my Saviour did die
How they mocked Him
and nailed Him hang on a tree
Now the cross is the way
to salvation for me
In the glory to God on high
I give thanks that He sent
His begotten son Jesus to die
Thank you Jesus thank you Lord
for Resurrection Day
In the glory to God on high
I give thanks that He sent
His begotten son Jesus to die
Thank you Jesus thank you Lord
for Resurrection Day
Resurrection Day

All You Need Is God
You can have all the things
that your money can buy
But in the end just the same
you're still gonna die
You can take all you want
and never to give
But you'll not find the way
or the secret to live
If you look for the answer
it's all very clear
If you open your heart
and soul you'll hear
All you need is God
I used to have all the things
that I thought I would need
But the more that I bought
all my thoughts turned to greed
I used to measure my riches
by all that I owned
But I soon found the way
and it's not what I'd known
When I looked for the answer
it opened my eyes
When I opened my heart
I soon realized
All you need is God
My God's the One
who said follow Me
And let tomorrow be
And He said one day all men see
And worship Me on bended knee
Now I ask you my friend
try and understand
It's what's in your heart
and not what's in your hand
Now I know the way to eternity
Is only through the Blessed Trinity
Let us look for the answers
in the Word
Let us open our hearts
and shout until we're heard
All you need is God
All you need is God
All you need is God
God is all you need all you need
God is all you need all you need
God is all you need all you need
God is all you need all you need

You Never Really Know (You Know)
Do you know
where you're going to
when the day is done
Can you see
where you're gonna be
when our time has come
Cause I'd hate to see
you leave this world without
an understanding of your fate
And unless it's clear
you better hear and know for sure
before it's too late
Do you know
where your soul's gonna be
on Judgement Day
Have you found the answer
have you found the truth
have you found the way
Cause you have to know
before you go and it's
something only you can decide
So you better choose today
know the way and forget
your foolish pride
Better get ready better prepare
Cause your time on earth is fading
fading fast fading into air
Don't wait a minute to make it so
Cause you know
you never really know you know
Have you sought
know you oughtta be
making out your plan
Have you heard
the eternal word
of the God of man
'Cause I'd love to tell you
all about the peace and love
of Jesus that I've found
And I know I believe I will see
heaven's glories that abound
Better get ready better prepare
'Cause your time on earth is fading
fading fast fading into air
Don't wait a minute to make it so
Cause you know
you never really know you know
Cause you know
you never really know you know
