WHEN I FIRST MET HIS MAMA, SHE WAS JUST 19
….COULDN'T SAY FOR CERTAIN WHO THE FATHER WAS
BUT I HAVE KNOWN HIM SINCE HE WAS A PUP
AND I'M GONNA RAISE HIM UP

IF YOU NEVER KNEW YOUR DADDY
LIKE I NEVER KNEW MINE
IT FEELS LIKE EVERYBODY KNOWS
YOU'RE FATHERLESS
THIS BOY MAY NOT BE BLOOD OF MY BLOOD
BUT I'M GONNA RAISE HIM UP

I''LL PROVIDE FOR HIM
WALK BESIDE OF HIM

A baby in a manger, the town of Bethlehem
The wise men had the heart to know He was the great I Am
They crossed the desert many miles to kneel down at His feet
The star that led them seemed to tell them what had come to be

The Son's gonna rise and shine
Make the lame walk, the deaf talk, and give sight back to the blind.
Bring a light into the darkness no one can deny

Daddy never went to church on Sunday
He said that's one thing I'll never do
But mama never gave up she said one day
He'll be sitting here beside of me and you
I can still hear mama softly talking
With her tears falling on her folded hands
So that Easter Sunday Daddy walked in
That's when I began to understand

When mama prayed, good things happen
When mama prayed, lives were changed

All our days are numbered
Some live on borrowed time
But life is what you make it
Thank God I was so inclined
To accept my Lord and Savior
When the good news sunk in
He paid a heavenly price
By giving His life
And I can't wait to go home to Him

I'm ready to go that distance
And God only knows when that might be
But oh, what joy waits up yonder
Once this old world sets me free

A Farmer And A Teacher, A Hooker And A Preacher
Ridin' On A Midnight Bus, Bound For Mexico
One Was Headed For Vacation, One For Higher Education
And Two Of Them Were Searchin' For Lost Souls
That Driver Never Ever Saw The Stop Sign
And Eighteen Wheelers Can't Stop On A Dime

Chorus
There Are, Three Wooden Crosses On The Right Side Of The Highway

THAT'S JESUS
WHEN I WAKE UP IN THE MORNING
PUT MY FEET ON THE FLOOR
I THANK HIM FOR THE DAY
THAT HE GAVE ME ONE MORE
I GIVE HIM ALL THE PRAISE
THE ONE THAT I ADORE
THAT'S JESUS, OH THAT'S JESUS

I WAS LOST AND ALL ALONE
MY HEART IN NEED OF HELP
I FOUND ETERNAL LIFE
AND LOST MY FEAR OF DEATH
BECAUSE I KNOW THE AUTHOR OF
MY EVERY BREATH,
OH THAT'S JESUS, THAT'S JESUS

EVERYBODY GATHERED WHERE THE RIVER RUNS WIDER
AT THE EDGE OF TOWN
TO SEE IF THAT EDDIE LEE VAUGHN BAPTISM
WAS REALLY GONNA GO DOWN
FOLKS BET THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY
THAT WATER WOULDN'T CHANGE A THING
THEY SET THE ODDS AT A HUNDRED TO ONE
HIS SOUL WOULDN'T NEVER COME CLEAN
THEN THE PREACHER SAID
PEOPLE TAKE A MOMENT OR TWO
THERE SOMETHING WE NEED TO DO
PRAY FOR THE FISH

Can you hear Jerusalem's cry
Can you see the storm on the rise
Look around you can;t deny
This is the hour of heaven's time
Armies gather in the East
For the war that's soon to come
Death will march with the mark of the beast
So seek the Light and walk with the Son

Soon we'll see His wrath come down
And the Lord descending from the sky
When you hear the trumpets sound

Chorus:
Keep your lure in the water,
Don't just sit by the shore
There are souls to be caught
Everywhere in this old world
Go where hearts are plenty,
Don't just drift with the tide
Keep your lure in the water,
In the waters of life

The lord said, "Simon, haul your nets in
From now on you're a fisher of men"
Well, I like fishin',
That's why it caught my ear

By my grandfather's bed, my mother is reading,
Psalm 62, God is our refuge,
My grandfather stirs, could it be,
he is waking, one final time,
he has something to say,

If you only knew what lies awaiting
If you could only see what I can see
If you could only hear the music playing
The angels singing sweet victory
Oh, if you only knew, if you only knew,
How much he loves you

They took Your commandments off the schoolhouse walls
They say it's a crime to even pray within the halls
But bless the child that lets You in and knows without a doubt
Once You live inside a heart, they can't take You out

We are soldiers of the cross
We've been found to reach the lost
In cityy streets, down country roads
We take You with us everyday, and everywhere we go

He was born in Bethlehem they say, there was a star to light the path to where
He lay. Rich or poor they came from far and near, cause they'd all heard the
reason He was here.
CHORUS:
He was the Son God sent to one and all. Put on this earth to hang there on that
cross. Born to die so we could live. He had the birthday, we got the gift.

DON'T LET ME GROW BITTER I PRAY
GIVE ME STRENGTH TO CARRY ON MY WAY
IM LEANIN' ON YOU LIKE A WOODEN CANE
WHILE I'M WALKIN THROUGH I'M WALKIN' THROUGH
THE VALLEY OF PAIN

I'M BELIEVN' THERE'S A REASON FOR THIS TRIAL
THIS TOO SHALL PASS IN A LITTLE WHILE
OH LORD HAVE MERCY IF I COMPLAIN
WHILE I'M WALKIN' THROUGH, I'M WALKIN THROUGH
A VALLEY OF PAIN

This is Me By Randy Travis

Lately I get the feeling there's a feeling that your holding in
Why do you keep your distance as close as we've been
Do you think your silence is saying there aint nothin wrong with you
This is me your not talkin to

CHORUS
This is me
The one that knows you inside out
The one you've leaned on till now
Don't you know I'm still here for you

I've walked a million miles across this floor
But I never have quite made it to the door
I never thought the time would come
I'd ever see this day
When you could make me feel so thrown away

Chours:
I'm feeling like an old pair of shoes
All worn out from walking through the blues
There's a hole in my soul
And I'm really feeling used
I'm just like an old pair of shoes

On the day you were born
There in your mother's arms,
An angel told me, always you will be
A gift of love, from God to me

Love took flight
The day you came into my life
There is magic in the way I feel
Hearts open wide, gazing into your eyes
There is magic
As long as I am alive

I have never loved
Another like you
A gift for free
Always you will be
A gift of love, from God to me

Well I lost my heart on the day we met
But I gained a lot that I don't regret
Then I hung around til you said 'I do'
Knew I wouldn't have nothin if I didn't have you
Well, it changed my thinking when you changed your name
Neither one of us will ever be the same
And I swear I'm never gonna be untrue
Cuz I wouldn't have nothing if I didn't have you

She stands in the face of evil
and will not lose hope or faith
America, the land of freedom
Still the home of the brave.

Chorus
So raise the banner, called Old Glory
Let us join our fellow man
History will write the story,
America will always stand.

Walking through the fires of danger
There are those who gave their lives
They're the world's greatest heroes,

I just dropped in
Cause I could use a friend
And a little bit of consolation
I'm hangin' by a thread
>From the sounthern end of my rope
If you really wanna know
I'll do my best to explain my situation
Maybe I can find the words
If the tears don't get me first
It's kinda like fallin' from the sky
When your up a mile high
And your parachute won't open
Kinda like clingin' to the bottom

Always (4:14)
(Graham Russell/Guy Allison/Michael Sherwood)

I can see hills touch the sky
Heaven and earth, you and I
Know we will always be
Here in the silence we lie
Shadows we cast you and I
Speak for eternity

Pressed between pages
Flowers will die
Stories may end as time passes by
You and I will always be

With every word that I hear
Whenever whispers are near

You may think that I'm talking foolish
You've heard that I'm wild and I'm free
You may wonder how, I can promise you now
This love that I feel for you always will be...

You're not just time that I'm killing
I'm no longer one of those guys
As sure as I live
This love that I give
Is gonna be yours until the day that I die!

Oh baby, I'm gonna love you forever
Forever and Ever, Amen

Being with out you has turned ot to be so inconvenient
And wishig I was with you just seems to use up all my time
You've been gone so long that it's hard to recall
Just how the dream went
And all but this broken heart in me I guess is doing fine

Chorus:

Is it sill over, are we still through
Since my phone still ain't ringing I assume It still ani't you

I remember how it used to feel

Riding down old two mile hill

Tennis shoes up on the handle bars

Paying no mind to the passing cars
No doubts, no fears, just like when you are here

Chorus:

No chains, no strings, no fences, no walls

No net, just you to catch me when I fall

Look heart, no hands

It took a little time to get up to speed

Sometimes many miles may lay between us
But only for the job I choose to do
And one thought helps me through my darkest hour
Each mile brings be closer to you

Please believe you're all I ever wanted
If you should leave I don't know what I'd do
I'd be like a child afraid of darkness
The greatest fear I have is loosing you

Heaven knows I've always had these demons

====================================================================
=====
There's my easy chair, just sitting there
I've spent a lot of time
Thinking of this perfect love
I know is yours and mine
Oh how I love that old picture on the wall
Of you and me and the kids
My most favorite times in life I've spent
Right here where we've lived
Chorus:
There's no place like home
