Yolanda Adams Album

Visions that can change the world
Trapped inside an ordinary girl
She looks just like me
Too afraid to dream out loud

And though it's simple, your idea
It won't make sense to everybody
You need courage now
If you're going to persevere

To fulfill your divine purpose
You've gotta answer when you're called
So don't be afraid to face the world
Against all odds

Keep the dream alive don't let it die, if something deep inside
Keeps inspiring you to try, don't stop
And never give up; don't ever give up on you
Don't give up

Every victory comes in time
Work today to change tomorrow
It gets easier
Who's to say that you can't fly?

Every step you take you get
Closer to your destination
You can feel it now
Don't you know you're almost there?

To fulfill your divine purpose(oohh oohh yeah yeah)
You've gotta' answer when you're called
So don't be afraid to face the world
Against all odds

Keep the dream alive don't let it die, if something deep inside
Keeps inspiring you to try, don't stop

And never give up; don't ever give up on you...

Sometimes life can place a stumbling block in your way
But you've gotta keep the faith
Bring what's deep inside your heart
To the light

And never give up
Don't ever give up on you,
Don't give up

Who holds the pieces to complete the puzzle?
The answer that can solve a mystery
The key that can unlock your understanding
It's all inside of you
You have everything you need

Oh so, keep the dream alive don't let it die
If something deep inside keeps inspiring you to try
Don't stop
And never give up; don't ever give up on you...

Sometimes life can place a stubborn block on your way
But you gotta keep the faith
Bring what's deep inside your heart yeah, your heart
To the light

And never give up
Don't ever give up on you
No.don't give up
No, no, no, no

Don't give up
Don't give up
Don't give up
Oh, don't, no, no, no, no
Don't...give...up

ohh, ohh
(talk about it)
(talk about it)

verse 1:
You know life has its ups and downs
turn your pretty face into an ugly frown.
Seems that when I fix one thing
another one comes clouding up my vision
and I can feel the sun I believe that I can do this
I know that I can win just as long as I have his love within

Chorus:
I believe that I can make it, I can make it through the nite, I believe that I
can walk on, with my head held high I believe that I am special in every way
but in order to have my victory I gotta believe...oooohhhhhh!
(take your time and tell them how to make it)

Verse 2:
I have to see myself at the finish line (talk about it)
I have to visualize that everything will fall in line (talk about it)
I have to visualize the land while riding through the storm
I have to trust in my father and open up my heart
I know that I can do this I know that I can win
just as long as I have his love within

(chorus)
heart break I can handle that and heart pain I can handle that being let down
 I can handle that no one's around I believe I can I receive I can and now I'm
walking into my victory!

verse 1:
you may see me laughing
you may see me crying
but you won't see me give up
I'll just keep on trying
Though sometimes it get hard
Hard to see my way
But I've got you in my life
It's makes it all ok

chorus-
darkness turns to day
when you treat me this way
and I thank you lord for treating me so good
there are times when I get scared
but I’ll know that you'll be there
and you'll pull me out of it fo'sho

verse 2
there are times I’m up
there are times I’m down
there are times I’m smiling
there are times I’m frown
sometimes I’ve done wrong
but I still sing my song
even when I’m weak, I know you make me strong

Chorus 2-
ooh fo sho: fo sho
fo sho:fo sho
things are gonna work out fo sho
ooh fo sho
fo sho
fo sho; fo sho
things are gonna work out fo sho

Verse 3
I’ve learned how to do with
how to do without
when to shut my mouth
when to speck out loud
I’m happy to know
I have you as my friend
others will come and go but
you'll be there till the end
(chorus 1)
(chorus2)
(chorus2) repeating…

When I think about how you saved my soul
I'm compelled to praise you
Like a woman out of control
So I lift up holy hands
I take advantage of this chance to say thank you
When I think about what you brought me through
I'm reminded to praise you for all that you had do
So I lift up holy hands
I take advantage of this chance to say thank you
So from the bottom of my heart I say

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you

When I think about were you brought me from
I gotta praise you like the victories already warm
And I lift my hand
I advantage of this chance to say thank you
When I think about oh Lord yes
Why you love me so
I'm compelled to praise you because
I really don't care whose looking and who knows that I love you
And I lift up my holy hands
I take advantage of this chance to say thank you
Oh, everyday of my life I just wanna say

Thank you, (Thank you Lord)
Thank you, (I gotta thank you)
Thank you, (Because of who you been to me)
Thank you, (You been a shealter in the storm)
Oh and I Thank you
You been a rock that I can stand on Thank you Lord
And I say Thank you
You been a bridge over any kind of water
I gotta say Lord I thank you
With all my heart and all my soul
Everything within me says thank you Lord
Thank you Lord
Lord I thank you, Lord I thank you, Lord I thank you
For all you done to me
Thank you Lord
There's no words that I can say but you been good
I can't thank you enough no no no no no
Thank you Lord (I just wanna thank you)

I wanna thank, I wanna thank you
I gotta thank you, just wanna thank you
I thank you yes, I thank you yes, I thank you yes, I thank you yes
And I say.....I wanna thank you
Said Lord I thank you yes

You can't let it get you down
No no no no no
No no no no no
No no oh no no
Don't let it get you down

Just when everything seems to be going alright
Some unexpected news free enter your life
Then you ask your self how could this be wondering why
I've been there
You see your whole world come crashing down
All at one time
Your bodies weak from all the worrying
Your slow as you mind
Your walking down that rocky road
But things will get better
Cause trouble won't last forever

You can't let it get you down
Not down
I come to far to turn around
You gotta walk with your up high
Believe if you could reach the sky
You can't let it get you down

Have you ever felt the need to get away from it all
The person that you care about the most just broke your heart
Just to be in the same room with them
You can't stand the thought
I've been there
You don't know if your relationship is worth holdin on
How much longer can you take being treated so wrong
You're confused on what to do
But no matter what you do
You're gonna make it through

Oh, take it from me
The only thing you need a little faith
The size of a mustard seed
You may cry through the night but hold
Cause joy comes in the morning

In the morning
Joy comes in the morning
Have a little faith
Just a little faith
And you can make it
So don't you give up

Don't you let nobody turn you around
Don't you let nobody turn you around
Keep your head up to the sky

Unconditional, unconditional
Unconditional, unconditional

Who else would let someone nail them to a cross
For the sake of others so they would not be lost
No one, No one, will go that far for us
Who else would let someone get away with so much wrong
But still extend them great
No one, No one, have so much love for us

The kind of love he shows is unconditional
His love don't come and go it's unconditional

Who else but him
He's a constant friend
Even when others turn them backs against
No one, No one is always there for us
So what kind of love

So even when your closest friends and family give up on you

How big is your imagination
How much do you dream
Have you ever had a vision that seem so far to reach
But I ain't trying to preach to you
But I'm really concerned about the road you choose
Where are you doing
What are you choosing
Why don't you

Let the melody you hear
Whisper softly in your ear
Telling you you can do anything if you believe
Let the softness of my voice remind you that you got a choice
You can achieve anythin if you believe

Now I know you gotta make your own decisions
You gotta make your own mistakes
But I'm watching you as you do what you do
And I see myself as I watch you cause
I did you're doing when I was a kid
And I mad the same mistakes
I been where you been
But you can change your destiny
If you listen to the words that I say

Anything is possible
If you read your book entertainable
If you see your self as God sees you

Choices that we make in life
May take us far
Chances that we take tonight
May lead us into darken places
But at the end of Godly choices
Are higher dreams
But in the game of chance
There's only a guilty wave or stream
Sometimes I don't know which road I should take
Sometimes I don't know which move I should make

But it's only if God says yes
I'll make my move
And it's only if God says yes
Then I will choose
For it's only if God would just
Bow his head
Then I will do it
That's what I will do

I started down the right road
Only to end up wrong
The endless journey carried me so far away
From my home and family
But I'm learning I was never meant to go alone
Neither was it meant for me to go on my own no
Sometimes I don't know which road I should take
Sometimes I don't know which move I should make

I'll never go on my own
I'll never go all alone

Sometimes I don't know which road I should take
Sometimes I don't know which move I should make

But it's only if God says yes
I'll make my move
For it's only if God says yes
Then I will choose
For it's only if God would just answer me
And it's only if God would just hear my plead
And it's only if God would just bow his head
Then I will do it
That's what I will do

Oh, ooh
Yea, yea, yea, yea, yea

Since the last time I saw you
God has moved another mountain out of my way
Led me to green pastures
Turned my midnight into day
Placed my feet upon rock to stand
Oh yes

Since the last time I saw you
God has calmed another raging storm in my life
Led me into safety
Turned my darkness into light
And now I stand in the power of his might

You would have thought that God has already done enough for me
When he took my place at Calvary
But he does so much more and more right before me eyes
And I have no other choice but to stand and testify
Stand and testify

Since the last time I saw you
God has worked another wondrous miracle for me
Led me into triumph now my blinded eyes can see
That Christ the Lord performs victoriously, oh

You would have thought that he'd done enough for me
When he took my place at Calvary
But he does more, and more, and more, and more every day
He makes a way and he's made a way
Since the last time I saw you
Things have changed
I'm not the same
Since the last time

Mmm, ohohohoh

I say a prayer every night, whatever I do, I'll get it right
With no regret, no guilt or shame this time, no not this time
Once I surrender, I won't dare look back, cause if I do, I'll get off track
Move ahead in faith, and patiently await your answer, what will it be

[chorus]
Sight beyond what I see
You know what's best for me
Prepare my mind, prepare my heart
For whatever comes, I'm gon' be ready
Strength to pass any test
I feel like I'm so blessed
With you in control, I can't go wrong
Cause I always know, I'm gonna be ready (be ready)
hmm hmmm

I was free to do what I want to
Lost everthing but I still have You
You showed me Your grace and
Now my life's renewed and I thank You
Yes, I thank You

So Ill tell anyone who'll listen
I'll testify about how good You were to me when
So-called friends passed me by
The fact that You showed somebody so broke down
So much mercy

[chorus]

Use me as You will
I'll pay the price cause You made the ultimate sacrifice
And it's all because of you that I even have life
And I'll give my love as a tribute to how great you are

[chorus]

I'ma gonna be ready
This time I'ma be ready
Cause you live deep inside of me

[Verse 1]

A night flight out to D.C.
Phone rings with the news
My God I'm so excited
It's time to look for baby shoes(yes)
Everyone says I'm glowing
From a heart filled with joy
To soon to be showing
Is it a girl is it a boy

[Chorus]

Found out your My Darling Girl
Don't you know you change my world
Your my little doll so sweet
You nearly knock me off my feet
Your my little darling child seeing you makes me smile
God Bless the day he sent my little angel to me

[Verse 2]

Here's my favorite picture
When you were 10 minutes old
And we were right there with ya
To wrap you up and keep you warm
And now that your a little older
I see your personality
And every time that I hold ya
I'm sure you'll know much more than me

[Chorus]
Cause your My little Darling Girl
Don't you know you change my world
Your my little doll so sweet
You nearly knock me off my feet
Your my little darling child seeing you makes me smile
God Bless the day he sent my little angel to me

[Verse 3]

And you were perfect from the first day
They getting tired of hearing me say
I'm not ashamed to stand up and tell
The world that your my my my baby girl oh
Ladadadadada
Ladada dada dada dada
Hanging tight with your mama
Traveling round the globe
Telling folks about Jesus
And how he came to save their souls
Obviously what's important(yeah)
Gotta keep teaching you
Gotta be your example
That shows his life in all I do

[Chorus]
You are My Darling, Darling Girl
Don't you know you change my world
Your my little doll so sweet
You nearly knock me off my feet
Your my little darling child you know I love to see you smile and
God Bless the day he sent my little angel to me
Oh Yes God Bless the day he sent my little angel to me...

[Yolanda talking to baby]
You go say something ? come on say something..... yeah..

I'm Thankful

You're there to pick me up
Whenever I fall down
And I can't say enough
'Bout the things you've done for me
Without you in my life
I don't know where I'd be
Release my heart felt praise
Gonna lift my voice and sing

Chorus
Gonna raise my hands up to the sky
Use every breath to glorify
Your name your work your way
'Cause I'm so thankful
For life, for health, for strength to live
For sharing love and fellowship
For every blessing that you give
I'm thankful

You're the brightest star
The universe has seen
And I'm so priveleged
That you shine your light on me
So powerful so great
The ultimate creator
You gave the gift that we know as eternity

Chorus

What's happenin around me
Ain't gonna change what I believe
I believe you sent the Holy Spirit to guide me
With knowledge and wisdom for all situations
'Cause it ain't always, ain't good for ya no, no

It ain't good, it ain't good, it ain't good
It ain't good all the time
No, no
But I'm thankful for everything
You've done for me

For sharing love and fellowship
For every blessing that you give
