Times are harder now
then they've ever been before
(Don't be discouraged)
So much hurt and pain
that it seems so hard to bare
(You gotta remember)
Faith is the only thing
that you can count on
Stand on His promises
that you may be strong
I'm here to let you know
there's always hope for you and me
In spite of what it feels like
Chorus
Well alright,
Keepin' ya head up high no matter cause
It's Alright
Believing a change gon' come today or even tonight
And He's gonna answer every little prayer
Just hold on, wait and see
you know it's gonna be alright.
Crying all night long
feeling like you're so alone
(But don't you worry)
Cause season's have to change
It won't always be this way (so just remember)
Love is the only key
that opens every door
Releases everything
All that you need and more
I've got to let you know
there's always hope for you and me
In spite of what it seems like
Repeat Chorus
There's so much life
to live for
Joy and happiness instore
There's so much more
you can be
Buy you gotta ask and you'll receive
Alright, Alright, Alright
Repeat chorus
. . .

Sometimes I feel I can't make it
In this world on my own
So hard to see my direction
But you gave me something to help me be strong
(chorus)
You gave me joy
yes you did, yes you did, yes you did
You are my peace of mind oh ou oh
You are my life
yes you are, yes you are yes you are
and now for you Lord I lift my life oh Lord
At last my horizons are sunny
My pain has been erased
A new outlook a brighter day
Since you smiled down on my spirit
All my burdens washed away yeah
I'm born again
Blessed and safe
(chorus)
With every heartfelt melody
and every song of praise I sing to you
Somethin stirs inside of me,
It's the love you have for me
That is why I dedicate my life
to you....
(chorus)

Everybody's looking for a peace that flows
And everybody wants a place to go
Nobody wants to kneel and pray
So nobody receives results without faith
When someone falls along the wayside
And everybody knows why
Another heart sadly broken
Everybody needs someone to love
Everybody wants some hand to hold
Everybody needs salvation for their soul
So what about you?
Everybody wants to live life good
Does anyone live the way they should
It's never too late to turn around
Cuz everyone lost can be found
So when you're feeling so alone
don't think that you can't come home
And when you want to be held
My arms are open so let me know
(chorus)
. . .

Where there is grief, there will be hope
And if ever a hand is in need,
know that I'll be holdin' on
Know that the peace that comes from above
is the same everlasting love
Remember me whenever you're all alone
And if it helps you to sleep know that I'll be looking on
Know that the peace that you dream of
is the same everlasting love
You know I've watched you carry all this weight upon your shoulders
As if no one understands what you go through
But with all the might in you
believe what I say is true
When I say that I will never ever leave you...
or forsake you
So you just reach out as far as you can
Should the whole world just stare in disbelief
know that I'll take hold of your hand
What your heart feels, is what you sing of
Is the same everlasting love
Everlasting love, Everlasting love
(Hmmmm, Listen...)
When the darkness filled the urgent sky
and the tears welled up in the corners of my eyes
and the sun would shine for the pourin' rain
Wondered if I'd ever see daylight again
When the stars protest at the moon's refrain
and I told myself I'd surely go insane
and the earth kept turnin' at an alarmin' pace
and I couldn't talk my heart out of joinin' the race
I remember a time I couldn't close my eyes
I would lie awake dispairin'
don't know how many nights
Afraid of death that my chest would give way to the fear
Pulled the covers over my head and I cupped my ears
In attempt to escape the deafening sounds of silence
In attempt to escape these constant visions of violence
and with death as close as it could possibly get
heard a voice in the distance sayin' CeCe not yet
Then suddenly the darkness gave away to the light
and I threw off the covers as I closed my eyes
just in time to feel your spirit grip my body like a glove
and I knew in that moment that it was your...
that it was your everlasting, lasting love
I said it was your everlasting love
Yesterday, and today, forever more it will remain
Even now its still the same
cause my love will never change
Know that the peace that comes from above
is that same everlasting love...

I am the one yes I created the whole universe
Greater than anything in heaven and in all the earth
It's my air you breathe so I'm the one that you should please
I am the one you need why should you be alone?
I am that I am
I'm all that you need
I can yes I can
no it ain't too hard for me
Do you know, really know, do you really believe
Every day, every night of your life
I am
It hurts my heart indeed to see those whom I love in need
Knowing all I wonder why they never call on me
If you just ask and I can satisfy you with the things
I'll give you everything, yes you can have it all
I tell the sun to rise, the wind to blow, the rain to fall
I move the mountains and the oceans rivers great and small
Yes everything I made I want to hear them give me praise
Especially you my children each and every day
Repeat chorus X4
I am...

There you go again
slippin
Doin the things you said you'd never do again
You hear me callin your name,
you're hiding
But I know just where you are
So close but yet so far
Turn around and see the miles youve come
Do you really wanna go back
Just to start again
Oh my friend
I can't bear to see you go out that way
Don't make the mistake of letting go
Hold on to me your slippin
Pretending everything is okay
In the front of the crowd-your smilin
But after everyone's gone, you're all along
You're not fine-you're slippin
Take off the mask with me
I see your heart, it's hurting
If you wanna stay with me, I need honesty
Don't play with me, You're slippin
Can't make it on your own, stop tryin
I've got the power to keep you from fallin
If I could just have the chance to show you
What real happiness is like
Together we'll win the fight
. . .

With all of my heart I know I could love you
But with all of my soul I'm driftin' away
And with all of my mind I know you can save me from
myself, and anything else
With all of my strength I wanna reach out for you
With every breath, call out your name
With every step I just want to turn around and say
Make it okay
But I'm so afriad you've forgiven one too mnay times
And I'm so afraid to give my heart again
Just to have a change of mind
And I'm not quite sure that you can trust me
And I would hate to have you find me again
Driftin' away like the wind
With all of my heart I know I disappointed you
And altough I'm real sorry I don't know how to say this time
But if I were to lose you I know, I know I'd go completely
Out of my mind, but I'm running out of time
But I'm so afriad you've forgiven one too mnay times
And I'm so afraid to give my heart again
Just to have a change of mind
And I'm not quite sure that you can trust me
And I would hate to have you find me again
Driftin' away like the wind
It blows and nobody know where it's goin' to
(Like the wind)
It blows and nobody know what it's gonna do
(Like the wind)
At night you can hear it cry as the teardrops fall
From Heaven's eyes and somehow you know it's true
These tears that fall could be fallin' for you
. . .

Since the beginning you knew
He's been with you
You were raised in the church
so you know I'm tellin the truth
Livin like you don't know right from wrong
tellin yourself you're okay
God's word is always right
Just admit you've left the way
So I'm here to tell ya
it doesn't matter what you've done or where you been
Just fall on your knees, confess and he will forgive your sins
(chorus)
Come on back home, you've been away too long
God has been good to you
He's brought you through and through
Why can't you see the signs
We're living at the end
Jesus is coming soon
Don't wait too late my friend
Just surrender and stop the fight
Go head and throw in the towel
Why run from love any longer
When you're almost out of time
Let him restore you
And break up that fallow ground
All power is in his hands
To turn your whole life around
Let him in your heart
The choice is yours you don't have to be ashamed
(chorus)
Please don't ignore the knocking at your door
Let him in your heart, he'll forget the past and give a fresh new start
And this time hold on, don't let him, don't let him, don't let him go
He wants to wash you and fill you and heal you and love you like...
(chorus)

It's hard to know what to say
We've said so much that we regret
What a price that we pay
When we can't forgive much less forget
The more I hear the more I fear
That we might lose each other
Can we skip to the part
where we come to out senses
Before we go too far
Love shouldn't be so hard. . .
Can we open our hearts
Drop our defenses
Find where forgiveness starts
Let's stop where we are
And skip to the healing part
I can't recall what it was
That got this whole thing started
When anger grows like it does
and respect can get discarded
Everyday that we wait
Something good is dying
Can we skip to the part
where we come to out senses
Before we go too far
Love shouldn't be so hard. . .
Can we open our hearts
Drop our defenses
Find where forgiveness starts
Let's stop where we are
And skip to the healing part
. . .

When you can't find your way through the night
When you've lost touch and nothing's feeling right
You can't find that path that leads you home
You don't know which road, which road to choose
That's when you've got to
Listen with your heart
Listen to your soul
Inside you'll find the answer
To take you to the place you need to go
Listen with your heart
Listen and your heart will let you know
No matter where you are
The truth is never far
Just listen and your heart will lead you home
And when this world has got your mind confused
Feels like your faith has just run out on you
You can find that faith inside your soul
The strength you need lies deep, lies deep in you
That's why you've got to
CHORUS
We all lose our way sometimes
We all lose our faith sometimes
But if you just believe and just be strong
Trust your heart
Your heart won't do you wrong
Your heart won't do you wrong
CHORUS

The world is movin much too fast
mother's have kids, they outlast
young men think it's hard to pass this way
Everybody's tryin hard
to find a world in a life that's flawed
When each one should be thanking God
all the way
[chorus:]
I want to see you on that day
On that day
On that day
I said I want to see you on that day
On that day
On that day
Everybody listen
We're chasing worldy vanity
Some of us living in insanity
forgetting our humanity with no way
Break the bonds that tie your flesh
without Him then life is death
only He will not transgress
there's no way
open up your heart and know
our debts were paid for long ago
and love is all we really owe
(for a way)
[Chorus]
You know I, I want to see you on that day
On that day
On that day
Make sure that I, I see you on that day
On that day
On that day
Because I, I want to see you on that day
On that day
On that day
I want to see you on that day
On that day
On that day…

When I promised you
You could trust me
I meant every word that I said
You know I understand
What you're going through
You don't have to face the night all by yourself
(chorus)
Just come, come to me
It hurts me when you cry
I won't leave you alone
When you need a hand to hold
I will be there
I'll always care
Sometimes the world can be
Such a lonely place
And you don't feel you're where you belong
It's in those times I wish
You would talk to me
Cuz if you're weak
My love will make you strong
(chorus)
What matters now
Is the love that we share
Let's pick up the peices and go on, go on from here
Grab hold to me
And I'll set you free...
(chorus)
