"He's Got It All In Control"



He's got it all in control
He's got it all in control
He's put that reassurance
Way down in my soul
He's got it all in control

I've put my life in His hands
I've put my life in His hands
So every road I walk down
I'm sure is in His plan
'Cause I've put my life in His hands

He holds the stars in the sky
He holds the land back from the sea
If He can do all of that
Surely he can take care
Of you and me

He's got it all in control
He's got it all in control
He's put that reassurance
Way down in my soul
He's got it all in control

He's got it all in control
God's got it all in control
He's put that reassurance
Way down in my soul
He's got it all in control

He's got it all in control
God's got it all in control

He's got it all in control
God's got it all in control
He's got all in control

"He's Got Religion"



I grew up in the void place south of Heaven
Couldn't find the Lord to save my life
Then I realized the trouble is I wasn't lookin'
Oh if you don't seek
How can you expect to find

So I talked to the Man
I said whats the deal now
He was kind and he said
You know the way
Then I reached into my soul and bought a one way ticket
The only price I paid was some friends who often say

Oh no here he comes and he's got religion
Oh no now you know that's all we'll hear
But I say
Ain't it hard to believe that life's sweetest story
Still finds it's way and falls upon deaf ears

Well I have to admit that my conversation
Gets around to the message of my song
Tell me how can we go out and teach all nations
If we haven't heard the lesson here at home

And I guess when your life's been blessed like mine has
You just naturally want to let others know
So my friend if we meet by the gates of Glory
I wanna be the one to say I told you so

Oh no here he comes and he's got religion
Oh no now you know that's all we'll hear
But I say
Ain't it hard to believe that life's sweetest story
Still finds it's way and falls upon deaf ears

Oh no here he comes and he's got religion
Oh no now you know that's all we'll hear
But I say
Ain't it hard to believe that life's sweetest story
Still finds it's way and falls upon deaf ears

Oh no here he comes and he's got religion
Oh no now you know that's all we'll hear
But I say
Ain't it hard to believe that life's sweetest story
Still finds it's way and falls upon deaf ears

"He's The Hand On My Shoulder"



He's the hand on my shoulder
When I need to know someone cares
He's the hand on my shoulder
Assuring me that He's always there

He's the voice in the silence
That sounds so sweet and so clear
He's the voice in the silence
Telling me that He's always near

So there's no need for me to worry
When things aren't going quite so smooth
'Cause just as long as I put my trust in Him
He will always see me through

He's the light in the darkness
Shining through bright as day
He's the light in the darkness
Guiding me each step of the way

He's the hand on my shoulder
When I need to know someone cares
He's the hand on my shoulder
Assuring me that He's always there

"He's Walking In My Shoes"



He used to walk this earth
With sandals on His feet
Many people would gather 'round
Just to hear Him speak
With His hands He'd heal the sick
And open the eyes that could not see
And just to think that life that lives in Him
Is now a part of me

Now He's walking in my shoes
He's singing with my voice
He's reaching out with my hands
Helping someone make the right choice
He's smiling with my face
He's showing me the way
And I'm so glad that I can be a part
He's living in my heart

With his voice He'd speak
And calm an angry sea
Yet He said that one day
We'd do greater things than He
He forgave the men that nailed Him to a tree
And just to think that His spirit
Now lives inside of me

Now He's walking in my shoes
He's singing with my voice
He's reaching out with my hands
Helping someone make the right choice
He's smiling with my face
He's showing me the way
And I'm so glad that I can be a part
He's living in my heart

Now He's walking in my shoes
He's singing with my voice
He's reaching out with my hands
Helping someone make the right choice
Now He's smiling with my face
He's showing me the way
And I'm so glad that I can be a part
He's living in my heart

"Hello Love"



My life was cold
Then you came and warmed my soul
I need you everyday to stop my loneliness

In you I see
Everything that's good for me
Goodbye misery
Hello love

I ain't believing
This wonderful feeling
That I'm receiving
When I touch your hand

And now I see
What a happy thing can be
Goodbye misery
Hello love

I ain't believing
This wonderful feeling
That I'm receiving
When I touch your hand

Oh now I see
What a happy thing can be
Goodbye misery
Hello love

Goodbye misery
Hello love

Goodbye misery
Hello love

"Help Me Make It (To My Rockin' Chair)"



Met the girl that I want to get to know a little better
Tonight I'm gonna take her to the picture show
Gonna park in the darkest spot I know
I got a question
That I never asked anybody else before

Hey would you help me make it to my rockin' chair
Love me all of my life
Don't wanna grow old without ya
Don't wanna be out in the cold without ya
No more

Help me make it to my rockin' chair
Been saving my good times for the good
Would you hold me and never ever let me go

I've been told about love for so long
Been left cold without love for so long
Told of disappointments all so wrong
And I can't see me
In tomorrow
Without you beside me

Help me make it to my rockin' chair
Love me all of my life
Don't wanna grow old without ya
Don't wanna be out in the cold without ya
No more

Help me make it to my rockin' chair
Been saving my good times for the good
Would you hold me and never ever let me go

Help me make it to my rockin' chair
Been saving my good times for the good
Would you hold me and never ever let me go

Hey would you help me make it to my rockin' chair
Love me all of my life
Don't wanna grow old without ya
Don't wanna be out in the cold without ya
No more

Help me make it to my rockin' chair
Been saving my good times for the good
Would you hold me and never ever let me go

Help me make it to my rockin' chair
Been saving my good times for the good
Would you hold me and never ever let me go

"Hey Jesus, You're My Best Friend"



You almost have to lose your mind
To find yourself sometimes
You have to close your eyes to see

Just when I thought I'd reached the end
You let it all begin
You made it easy to be me

You're the wall I hide behind
You shelter me from time to time
You're reaching out
When I feel like giving in
You're the door that I walk through
When I need someone to turn to
Hey Jesus
You're my best friend

You're the only one
I've ever found
That didn't give up
When I let 'em down
I guess that's how love's supposed to be
When there's no one else around
I fall down to the ground
I feel so tall down on my knees

You're the wall I hide behind
You shelter me from time to time
You're reaching out
When I feel like giving in
Oh, you're the door that I walk through
When I need someone to turn to
Hey Jesus
You're my best friend

Hey hey Jesus
You're my best friend

"His Eye Is On The Sparrow"



Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart be lonely
And long for heaven and home?
When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is He

His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

Let not your heart be troubled
His tender work I hear
And resting on His goodness
I lose my doubts and fears
Though by the path He leadeth
But one step I may see

His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

Whenever I am tempted
Whenever clouds arise
When songs give place to sighing
When hope within me dies...
I draw then closer to Him
From care He sets me free

His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He cares for me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

"Home Where I Belong"



They say that heavens pretty
And living here is too
But if they said that I would
Have to choose between the two

I'd go home, going home
Where I belong
And sometimes when I'm dreaming
It comes as no surprise
That if you look and see
The homesick feeling in my eyes

I'm going home, going home
Where I belong
While I'm here I'll serve him gladly
And sing him all my songs

I'm here, but not for long
And when I'm feeling lonely
And when I'm feeling blue
It's such a joy to know that
I am only passing through

I'm headed home, going home
Where I belong
And one day I'll be sleeping
When death knocks on my door
And I'll awake and find
That I'm not homesick anymore

I'll be home, going home
Where I belong, hmm

"Honorable Peace"



Now your Father has told you
Son you're naive
To still be out lookin'
For something to believe
The realities of power
Are above your ideals
And he sure has good reasons
For the way that he feels

For man has never hesitated
To do violent deeds
To ravage this earth
And take more than he needs
Can there be any doubt
To the size of his crimes
After all that we've seen
Within our own times

Oh but what kind of logic
In what kind of brain
What manner of man
Would think it was sane
What kind of soul
And what heart that beats
Would chose to kill millions
For an honorable peace

There are those who will argue
It's all too complex
You must live past the present
To see it's effects
As if the peasant in the fields
Hearing planes in the sky
Waits for history to tell him
It's his turn to die

Now I'm sorry that you have to hear
These words tonight
They're not pleasant to sing
They're not pleasant to write
I know the tide of protest
Has passed us somehow
Oh but when do you speak out
If you don't speak out now

Tell me
What kind of logic
In what kind of brain
What manner of man
Would think it was sane
What kind of soul
And what heart that beats
Would chose to kill millions
For an honorable peace

Tell me
What kind of logic
In what kind of brain
What manner of man
Would think it was sane
What kind of soul
In what heart that beats
Would chose to kill millions
For an honorable peace

Tell me
What kind of logic
In what kind of brain
What manner of man
Would think it was sane
What kind of soul
In what heart that beats
Would chose to kill millions
For an honorable peace

"Hooked On A Feeling"



I can't stop this feelin'
Deep inside of me
Girl, you just don't realize
What you do to me

When you hold me in your arms so tight
You let me know everything's alright

I
I'm hooked on a feelin'
High on believin'
That you're in love with me

Lips are sweet as candy
The taste stays on my mind
Girl, you keep me thirsty
For another cup of wine

I got it bad for you, girl
But I don't need a cure
I'll just stay addicted
And hope I can endure

All the good love when we're all alone
Keep it up girl, yeah you turn me on

I
I'm hooked on a feelin'
High on believin'
That you're in love with me

All the good love when we're all alone
Keep it up girl, yeah you turn me on

I
I'm hooked on a feelin'
I'm high on believin'
That you're in love with me

"How Great Thou Art"



Oh lord my God
When I in awesome wonder
Consider all
The worlds thy hands have made
I see the stars
And I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout
The universe displayed

When Christ shall come
With shouts of acclamation
And take me home
What joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow
In humble adoration
And there proclaim
My God how great thou art

Then sings my soul
My savior God to thee
How great thou art
How great thou art
Then sings my soul
My savior God to thee
How great thou art
How great thou art

"Human"



Oh Lord
Why did you make me human
I've got to laugh
I've got to cry
I've got to live
And I've got to die

And Oh Lord
Why did you make me human
I've got the best girl in the world
But make her understand
That I'm only a man

You mend
When I make the tears fall from her eyes
Forgive me for I apologize
Oh and when I make I break her heart
And tear it all apart
Forgive me
I'm only human

And oh Lord
Why did you make me human
I've got to work everyday
So little love and so little pay
And I'm just human
I'm just human

"Hurting Each Other"



No one in the world
Ever had a love as sweet as my love
For nowhere in the world
Could there be a boy as true as you love
All my love
I give gladly to you
All your love
You give gladly to me
Tell me why then
Oh why should it be that

We go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why

Close than the leaves
On a weepin' willow, baby, we are
Closer dear are we
Than the simple letters "A" and "be" are
All my life
I could love only you
All your life
You could love only me
Tell me why than
Oh why should it be that

We go on hurting each other
We go on hurting each other
Making each other cry
Hurting each other
Without ever knowing why

Can't we stop hurting each other
Gotta stop hurting each other
Making each other cry
Breaking each other's heart
Tearing each other apart

"Husbands And Wives"



Two broken hearts lonely looking like houses where nobody lives
Two people both having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives
Angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
Its my belief pride is the chief cause
In the decline
In the number of husbands and wives.

A man and a woman, woman and a man
Some can, some can't, some can.

Two broken hearts lonely looking like houses where nobody lives
Two people both having so much pride inside
Neither side forgives
Angry words spoken in haste
Such a waste of two lives
Its my belief pride is the chief cause
In the decline
In the number of husbands and wives.

Its my belief pride is the chief cause
In the decline
In the number of husbands and wives.

"I Believe In Music"



I could just sit around makin' music all day long (yeah)
As long as I'm makin' my music
I know I can't do nobody no wrong
And who knows? Maybe I'll come up with a song (yeah)
And make people wanna stop their fussin' and fightin'
Long enough to sing a song

And shake your tambourine (yeah)
Lift your voices to the sky
God loves you when you sing

Whoah-oh-oh I, yes I believe in love
Everybody knows

Music is the universal language and love is the key
To brotherhood, peace and understandin'
Livin' in harmony

"I Can't Help It (If I'm Still In Love With You)"



Today I passed you on the street
And my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

Somebody else stood by your side
And he looked so satisfied
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

A picture from the past came slowly stealing
As I brushed your arm and walked so close to you
Then suddenly I got that old time feeling
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
Still in love with you

Today I passed you on the street
Today I passed you on the street
And my heart fell at your feet
And my heart fell at your feet
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you

Somebody else stood by your side
Somebody else stood by your side
And he looked so satisfied
And you know he looked so satisfied
I can' help it if I'm still in love with you

It hurts to know another's lips will kiss you
And hold you just the way I used to do
Ohh heaven only knows how much I miss
how much that I miss yea
I can't help it if I'm still in love with you
Still in love with you

"I Get Enthused"


If I saw a woman that looked a lot like you
And if I thought this woman
Could take the place of you, I'd get enthused
Oh but there's not another you

If she had eyes like you do and she knew how to smile
And if I thought the feeling
Could ever be like ours, I'd get enthused
Oh but there's not another you

I'm staring loneliness face to face
There's no one around
No one around that can take your place
Hmm, hmm

If I thought this woman could make me feel that fine
I'd wrap me up in her love
And get you off my mind, I'd get enthused
Oh but there's not another you

I'd get enthused
Oh but there's not another you
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
I'd get enthused

"I Just Can't Help Believing"
(originally by Bobby Vee)



I just can't help believing
When she smiles up soft and gentle,
With a trace of misty morning,
And a promise of tomorrow in her eyes...

And I just can't help believing
When she's lying close beside me
And my heart beats with the rhythm of her sigh...

This time the girl is gonna stay
This time the girl is gonna stay...
For more than just a day

I just can't help believing
When she slips her hand in my hand
And it feels so small and helpless
That my fingers fold around it like a glove...

And I just can't help believing
When she's whispering her magic
And her tears are shining honey sweet with love...

This time the girl is gonna stay (This time the girl is gonna stay)
This time the girl is gonna stay...
For more than just a day

For more than just a day...
(I just can't help believing...)

"I May Never Get To Heaven"



I walked with you
And talked with you
And held your loving hands

We loved awhile
I lived awhile
And thought that fate
Had it planned

Then someone stole my angel
And I lost what I loved most
I may never get to Heaven
But I once came very close

I may never play a golden harp
Or spread some angel wings
Or walk a golden staircase
While the distant chorus sings

But once I held your sweet love
And felt your tender touch
I may never get to Heaven
But I didn't miss it much

I may never get to Heaven
But I didn't miss it much
I may never get to Heaven
