Chorus:
I can't believe you chose someone like me
When I've done nothing to deserve it, no
I feel so blessed 'cause you give me
you best
Your love is nothing less than incredible

I'll take a little time out
Just to think a little while
Back on everything
I've been through
All my ups 'n' downs
Would still be ups 'n' downs if
if it wasn't for you

Chorus:
I tried it without you
Can't do it without you
Never again will I try
You came and you love me
And oh how you loved me
Somehow I just don't know why

Lord you mean just
The whole world to me
Without you
I don't know
Where I would be

In the mall one day I saw you
Walking past
And then I looked again and
You were gone
Well anyway I thought about
When I last talked to you
And how I prayed for you
And how I told you things would be fine
In time you would be okay
If that was you then God bless

Chorus:
God bless
You been on my mind
Thought I'd call you up and tell you
God bless ya
And I'm glad you didn't break
Under the pressure
God Bless
I know it's been a while since
We spent time together
God Bless ya
And I'm glad to see you doing
So much better
I remember when you made
A big mistake
And had to go away
and when your time was spent
You did all you could to prove
You had changed
So many people didn't wanna give a
Second chance
But you didn't let that keep you from getting on your feet again

Chorus:
I really wanna let you know, I'm so
Happy for ya
Ya didn't let nothing hold you back,
You did just what you had to
To change your situation and get
Yourself together
Made it through whatever,
Wishing you the best

Whatever you need for him to do
He will do it if you give him the chance
And I am telling he's already proud
That he can do anything,
So give him the chance
Now there's been so many times
I called on him
Regardless of the circumstance
He was there
So now I devoted my life to serving him
It's me for him `cause all the time he
Was there for me

It doesn't matter what the need
No there's no limit, I'll give you anything
All I want is you to trust me
Through my love I'll set you free

Chorus:
He said I'll go wherever
You want me to go
He said I'll do whatever you want me to do

Now it is a must I testify and
Let everybody know
I live because of you and they can have the same life
That I choose
And when they ask me now
I'll say it's because of you

Chorus

Whatever you want from me
What else can I do to make you see
To prove to you I'm everything
That you'll ever need
What else do I have to say
To show you more clearly
That I am, that I am
The beginning and the end
Yes I'm you, everything

You don't know God is the truth, he is
And everything that he said he'll do
He did new whips, new cribs
A few hits, I'm blessed with ice
Blessed with life on top of all that
Yo I'm blessed with Christ
So his heart must be
As big as Texas right
I aint thinking of the change or
Thinking of the blames
Think of the range,
I ain't even thinking the same
When I think of his name yo
I'm thinking of praise
Wit Fats and Darkchild so close in wit
Mary Mary ah yeah
You know then
But we talking about Christ
Get to know him come on¡­

Chorus:
In the morning you'll be alright
In the morning the sun's gonna shine
In the morning no clouds in the sky
When it's dark in your light just wait for the
daylight

Someone tell me what's wrong
Why my nights last so long
It's gettin' hard to believe
You can hear me

Then you give me a sign
That You heard me pray
You let me know
This dark night won't last always

Chorus

So many ups and downs
You don't know where to start
So many nights you cried
Life was breakin' your heart

It may seem real hard
Ain't no help in sight
But don't you worry
About it tonight `cause

Chorus

There's gonna be a day
It's gonna get cloudy
You can't see clear {You can't see clearly, no}
But don't you stop prayin'
Prayin' for the day
When the sun will shine (Shine) again
{Ooh...ooh...ooh...}

Chorus:
I'm just ordinary people
Who found extraordinary love
Sometimes it's hard to believe
That God keeps loving me so much

There are so many people I look up to
Used to tell them I wanna be just
Like you
Then God took ordinary me
And gave me a chance
And everyday I gotta thank him for
Where I am

Chorus

I looked in the mirror, I saw average
You looked down from heaven, you saw
A gift
Still can't figure out why you
Loved me so but that's what makes
You God
I'll never know `cause

Chorus

Listen to me, I can tell you how it goes
God can take a nobody
Who no one knows
Make `em more than you ever could be
Ask me how I know, he did it for me

Can't promise you no pain no tears
Can't say you'll never be lonely again
My friend
But you see there's a remedy
There's someone who's got
Everything you need
And if you hear what I'm saying
I'm sure you'll agree that¡­

Chorus:
Trouble ain't gon' be here everyday
Even though sometimes it seems like it won't go away
After you've done all that you know how
Just to keep from breaking down
Just believe it's gonna get much better
After awhile

Sometimes I sit back and I think about
Where I've been and where I am
Right now
See I wasn't quite sure you could
Hear me calling
But you were there to catch me
When I was falling
So I know

Chorus

Oh sometimes we may just want to cry
Then you tell me it's gonna be alright
You can't go through life
Living problem free
But you got to keep the faith
And you got to believe

So the next time you're feeling
A little frustration
And you going through
A bad situation
Remind yourself that it won't last for long
'Cause soon it will be over and you'll be moving
Cause

[Little girl]: Hey Erica and Tina can
sing a song about little girls for me, please

She was just 13 and I just don't think
That she ever seen her own beauty
And she didn't think she'd be anything
And that little girl, she used to me be

Chorus:
Little girl, little girl
Wonder are you listening
Little girl, little girl
Struggling with your confidence
Little girl, little girl
God made you so beautiful
Little girl, little girl
I just thought that you should know

Sometimes you feel like you don't fit in
'cause you don't look like
all your other friends
Got your own thing going on
Girl you are so unique you are just
That way that
God intended for you to be

Chorus

Tell you what you should do
When you get up
In the morning look yourself in the
Mirror and say
I love me
Even with all of your flaws and all of your downfalls
Just be your best 'cause to him you
Already are

When you say love
You use it so lightly
But when I think of it
This is what comes to me
Loving me, where I am
How I am
Just for who I am
All my good and bad
Sure you think
It's not a possibility
Something so pure it changes me
When after all these years it's still
The same
Just as strong as it was on the first day

Chorus:
This love this love
The only love
That comes down from the heavens
[F. Hammond: why do you love]
Better than mothers, better than
Fathers oh oh oh
This love this love
This love is your love
This love is my love [F. Hammond: why do you love]
This love this love
From God the Father
God up in heaven you oughta know

F. Hammond:
So you ask, what about me
Sounds real good
But doesn't fit the life I lead
But let me tell you something
There is nothing new under the sun
'n' I don't care what you've done
His heart is or everyone

Chorus

Everybody oughta know his love is real
Said you really oughta know
Tell me can you feel
Everybody oughta know
I'm talking to you
Please don't walk away from

Chorus

Hook:
I try but sometimes I fail
Now I realize that I need your help
'Cause I can't make it all by myself
I need you, you, you , yeah!

I should know by now there's no way no
How I could live my life without you
Still I get caught up in myself
And talk to you less and less
And every time that I do
I come right back to you
Cause after all my mistakes
I know that I have to change
So I put my life in your hands

Hook

I wish I could undo some things that
I have done in my past
But I can't erase what's already
Taken place
So from now on I'll try to do my best
Cause after all my mistakes
I know that I have to change
So I put my life in your hands

Hook

Nobody wants to fall but we fall sometimes
Then you are there to catch us all
Every time you look beyond all my faults
'Cause you know I need another chance
To get it right you forgive me 'cause I try

Chorus:
Hold on to your faith
No matter what you been through
I know he'll make a way
If you just hang on
Just a little longer
Come on hold, hold, hold on
To your faith

I know that you have asked yourself
Will things ever change
And just the other day I asked the
Same thing
And the answer is plain
For you and me to see
That all we gotta do is hold on

Chorus

Sometimes, sometimes I know you
Just feel like running from
All of the problems
They keep coming but I know
You won't break under pressure `cause
You know that God is with ya
If you feel me let me hear ya hold on

Chorus

Keep on, keep on don't ever stop
It may get hard don't give up now
You've come too far to turn around
You're gonna make it some way
Somehow just

This morning I picked up a paper
I read about tragedy I stopped and
I realized that it could've been me oh oh
That could've been my mother
Or maybe even my big brother
But you kept them just like you kept me
I want to tell you that

Chorus:
God has smiled on me
He has set me free
God has smiled on
He has been good to me

Now I've been through some things that
I thought were unnecessarily
Were way too much to carry
All by myself
Yeah! But you gave me strength to
Make it through
I thought I couldn't take it
Feels so good to know that you care
Yeah, yeah, yeah, God

Chorus

So glad I know you
Glad you're my friend
Whenever I need you
You're always near
You don't have to be so good to me
But you keep on smiling

Lonely one at young so broken hearted
Traveling down the rigid road of life
Using pharmaceutical extractions
To find their paradises
Finds the high but comes down
Feeling lower
Gets down on their knees and
Starts to pray looking up to heaven for the answer
To hear a voice that says

Chorus:
You will know troubled heart
You'll know
Problems have solutions, trust and
I will show, you will know
Troubled heart you'll know
Every life has reasons for I made it so

Single parents trying to raise
Their children
But they would much rather not alone
Reaches out to find that
Special someone
To make their house a home
Finds someone but no one is
The right one
Gets down on their knees and
Starts to pray
Looking up to heaven for the answer
They hear a voice that says

*Chorus (a few differences with the chorus section above)
You will know lonely heart
You'll know problems have solutions, trust and
I will show, you will know
Lonely heart you'll know
Every life has reasons for I made it so

There's something in your yesterday
That's keeping you away from him
Making you believe what you've done
He won't forgive
Telling you that you're just too far
From him
But there is something he wants you
To know¡­

That there's no road that you can travel
To a place that's too far

Chorus:
He's so close he can hear you breathing
He's so near he can wipe your tears
Mend your heart, he knows it's
Been broken
He's standing with his arms wide open
For so long he's been waiting,
Everyday anticipating
For you to realize that he's so close to you

Everybody knows sometimes we all
Make mistakes
And when you try do what's right,
Wrong gets in the way
You feel you're just a failure and you
Can't forgive yourself
But God can make it better if you only
Ask for help

There's no road that you can travel
To a place that's too far

Chorus

There's no road that you can travel
To a place that's too far

Tragedies are commonplace
All kinds of diseases, people are slipping away
Economies down, people don't get
Enough pay
But as for me all I can say is
Thank you Lord for all you done for me

Folks without homes are in the streets
And the drug habit some say
They just can't beat
Muggers and robbers, no place seems
To be safe
But you've been my protection every
Step of the way
And I want to say
thank you Lord for all you've done
For me hey¡­

Lead: It could've been me
Chorus: Thank you
L: Outdoors
C: Thank you
L: With no food
C: Thank you
L:And no clothes
C: Thank you
L: All left alone
C: Thank you
L: Without a friend
C: Thank you
L: Or just another number
C: Thank you
L: With a tragic end
C: Thank you
L: But you didn't see fit
C: Thank you
L: To let none of these things be
C: Thank you
L: You keep on, keeping on, keeping me
C: Thank you
L: I wanna say
Chorus: Thank you Lord for all you've done for me

I wanna thank you for your love
Thank you for your power
Thank you for protection, every hour

When the weight of the world seems
Like it's on your shoulders
Bogging you down
When you feel like you're stuck
In one place

And you just can't move it around
When it seems like you're so backed up
Into a corner that there's no way out
Just remember that you've got a friend
Who's watching and he knows all about
[so you gotta let it go]

Give it up, gotta let it go, give it up
Gotta let it go

When you've shed so many tears
Until you
Just can't cry no more
When your confidence is gone
And of yourself you're not very sure
When you're at your lowest point
And you just wish it all would end
Just remember that you're not alone
And you can always turn to him

Give it up, gotta let it go, give it up,
Gotta let it go

When you've done all that you can do
And yet it's still too much to bear
Then it's time to turn it over
To the only one who knows ya
Better than youself

Give it up, gotta let it go, give it up,
