"Going Away"

"Going Away"


Life can be hard if you live in vain
Trials can't be hard if you depend on God
I will not worry, I won't be afraid of hope
I'll look to Jesus who says, 'I'm the Way'

Come and go with me to my Father's house
Let's go, let's go
All the road is free, come and go with me
Let's go, let's go, I'm going away, I'm going away

It's nothing but peace
When you're gone away
It's nothing but joy
When you are gone away

Let me tell you
You'd better go this way, if your woman see the day
Let her go, let's go
All the road is free, come and go with me
Let's go, I'm going away, I'm going away

Hey, hey, [?]
And I won't be there, I'm going away
I don't know about you
I find you're nothing but joy, I'm going away

We'll pack my bags up
With the soul that I've had, I'm going away
Nothing but love over there
Sometime I happen to [?]
I'm going away

I'm still way by myself
And I say, I'm going away
I still wait by myself
As I, I'm going away

I'll tell you one thing
There's nothing but love and joy
[?] I'm going away
All the way

I have to love you
I'm going away, I'm going away
Jesus' coming back to take me by the hand
To lead me to the land, I'm going away

"Have You Been Making Out O.K."

"Have You Been Making Out O.K."



Have you been making out okay?

Hey girl, I don't wanna change you now
I wanna know how you been making out
How you been?
Did the morning sun warm your soul?
Did he make you happy? Did he make you whole?

Have you been making out okay?

Hey girl, since you been away with him
My life has been cloudy and days been awful dim
But you're looking well
Baby, would you rather be there with him?
Would you reconsider and come running back to me?

Have you been making out okay?
Have you been making out okay? (I wanna know)
Have you been making out okay?

Have you been making out okay? (I wanna know)
Have you been making out okay? (I just want to know)
Have you been making out okay?

Hey baby, stopped by just to say
While I was on my way
Stopped by today just to see how you was getting along
I wanna know, can you make it on your own, baby?
On your own, baby
Have you been making out okay? (I wanna know)
Have you been making out okay? (Won't you tell me tell me?)
Have you been making out okay?

"Here I Am (Come And Take Me)"

"Here I Am (Come And Take Me)"



I can't believe that it's real
The way that you make me feel
A burning deep down inside
A love that I cannot hide

Our love is you and me, baby
That make the world go round
And if keeping you and loving you means
Layin' all my troubles down

Here I am, baby, come and take me
Here I am, baby, come and take me
Take me by the hand
Show me
Here I am, baby

It always ends up this way
Me begging you every day
A love that I cannot have
You broke my heart into half

Our love is you and me, baby
That make the world go round
Keeping you and loving you means
Laying all my troubles down

Here I am, baby, come and take me
Here I am, baby, come and take me
Take me by the hand
Show me
Here I am, baby

When I'm down I can always call you
For a helpin' hand
I know you'll do the best you can
But it don't take much for me
Before my cup runs over
All this love inside of me
I believe there's going to be an explosion

You can talk to me (oh, baby)
I'm in no hurry
Tell me all your troubles
And you won't ever have to worry (no)
(And one more thing)
You just can't trust everybody
Everybody you see (no no)
You'll find yourself lost and alone
On a darkened street

Here I am, baby, come and take me
Here I am, baby, would you come and take me?
Take me by the hand
Show me
Take me
Show me, won't you?
Here I am, baby
Take me, won't you?
Teach me
Won't you take me by the hand?
Teach me
Here I am, baby

"Highway To Heaven"

"Highway To Heaven"



Well, the first time ever I saw you
You were sleeping as the night fell, fell upon us
My soul felt something like a mighty wind
Voice like muddy waters
Surprise attack on my heart
Oh, it freed my soul, oh, it made me whole

Well, it's a high, long way to Heaven
Well, nothing can go up there, but the pure-hearted
They say it's a highway to Heaven
Nothing can go up there, but the pure-hearted

First time ever I saw you
You were sleeping as the night fell, fell upon us
My soul felt something like a mighty wind
Voice like Muddy Waters
Surprise attack on the heart
