"Hold On Forever"

"Hold On Forever"


Hold on forever, hold on forever
'Til I can get everything in place
Well, hold on forever, hold on forever
'Til I can see my shapeless face

I've got to smile on forever
Smile 'cause there's a me for you to joy
That's a smile, smile, smile
Well, this song is for every girl and boy

I've had good times, I've had bad times
I haven't had enough
I have my ups and down, I've been turned around
I haven't given up

Don't you know everybody have to walk the line?
I have had to do my time, it's a shame my song's for free
And everybody knows that's the way it goes
The Lord is watching over me

I think I really better hold on forever, hold on forever
'Cause there's a smile I'd like to wear
I'll hold on forever, hold on forever
'Cause, 'cause there's some joy I've got to share

I wanna thank somebody [?]
That may keep on holding on
That may keep on holding on [?]
I keep holding on, I keep holding on

I keep on holding on, I keep seeing face
Nothing in the world can take this face
I, I, I keep holding, I'm holding
I'm holding, I'm holding, I'm holding

"How Can You Mend A Broken Heart?"

"How Can You Mend A Broken Heart?"



I can think of younger days when to live for my life
Was everything a man could want to do
I could never see tomorrow
I was never told about the sorrow

How can you mend a broken heart?
How can you stop the rain from falling down? (tell me)
How can you stop that old sun from shining?
What makes the world go round?

How can you mend this broken man? (yeah)
How can a loser ever win?
Somebody please help me mend my broken heart
And let me live again

I can still feel the breeze that rustles through the trees
And misty memories of days gone by
But we could never see tomorrow
Would you believe that no one
No one ever told us about the sorrow (so)

How can you mend a broken heart? (and mine is)
How can you stop the rain from falling down? (baby)
How can you stop that old sun from shining?
What makes the world go round? (and sometime I have to say, yeah)

(Tell me)
Help me mend my broken heart
I just wanna, I just wanna, I just wanna
I just wanna, I just wanna live again, baby

How can you mend this broken man? (yeah, somebody tell me)
How can a loser ever win? (baby)
Help me mend my... This old broken heart
I think I, I believe I
I feel like I got to, I feel like I wanna live again

How can you mend this broken heart? (somebody please tell me)
How can you stop the rain from falling down?
(I wanna know. I know my my clothes are all wet, tell me)
How can you mend my, please help me mend my broken heart
I think I, I believe I, I've got a feeling that I want to live and live and live

"How Great Thou Art"

"How Great Thou Art"



O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds thy hands have made,
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy pow'r throughout the universe displayed

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!

When through the woods and forest glades I wonder
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze;

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!

And when I think that God, his Son not sparing,
Sent him to die, I scarce can take it in;
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died to take away my sin

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!

When Christ shall come with shout 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 You are, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to thee
How great You are, how great Thou art!

"I Can Feel It"

"I Can Feel It"



I was just a little boy
Why, my momma said to me
Son, you want to grow up strong
You gotta know what you believe
You're gonna find out one day
There's only two ways you can go
And when you get down
To the end of the line
There's somebody you need to know
She was telling me all about Jesus
And how He died to set me free
He arose from the dead
For a Memphis boy like me

I can feel it
From the sole of my feet
To the crown of my head
I felt it from the day I was born
I know my God ain't dead
He wakes me up early in the morning
And keeps me late at night
Choose to run away from the darkness
And start to walk in the light

He's the Alpha and Omega
He's the beginning and the end
He's the only one of the people
That I can really
Really call a friend
He's the first and the last
Ah you know the Word is true
If you want anything from my Lord
You know what you've got to do

She was telling me all about Jesus
And how He died to set me free
He arose from the dead
For a Memphis boy like me

I can feel if from the crown of my head
To the sole of my feet
How He threw up both of His hands
For the people that believe

It wasn't done in a corner
But high up on a hill
You gotta give it all you've got
People you know the deal

I can feel it from the crown of my head
To the sole of my feet
I have felt it from the day I was born
I know my God ain't dead
He wakes me up early in the morning
And keeps me late at night

"I Can't Get Next To You"



I.. (my my my my)
I can turn a gray sky blue (you see)
I can make it rain when I want it to
I can build a castle from a single grain of sand (you see)
I can make a ship sail on dry land (children, yeah)

Unhappy am I with all the powers that I possess
Girl, you're the key to my happiness
And I...

Unhappy am I with all the powers that I possess

I can make the seasons change
Just by waving my hand (let me say)
I can change anything from old to new (girl)
All the things I want to do the most (you see)
I'm unable to do

Unimportant are all these things
That I'm trying to do here today day
Girl, you see, I...

(Can't get next to you, babe)
I've been trying a long time
(Can't get next to you)
Somebody oughta help me
(Can't get next to you, babe)
Let me, let me go
(Can't get next to you)
Let me!

Lord, I've been working on it, baby
I've been thinking about it
You see, I've been trying to call you all day long
But, you see, I don't have your phone number, honey
I've been thinking about you baby, something awful
Sometime I feel like I want to moan about it
And I just don't know what to say
And I say..

I can't stop

There must be a reason why I feel so free
No, I can't stop, no, no, no, no

And I can't quit a love like this from consuming you

Oh baby, you made me, you gave me your love...

Whatever I do

No, I can't stop, no, no, no

"I Like It"

"I Like It"



Going to Paradise
No looking back
No time for thinking twice
Nothing do I lack
See I like it, I like it

There's nothing you can change
No substitute
Jesus is the one and only absolute
You see I like it, I like it

I finally found a love
And it's for real
I gotta let you know
I like it, I like it

Hey America
I want to tell the world about it
Hey America
Shout it from the mountains
Don't doubt it

You can turn a smile
And think I'm wild
Keep your own mind
Keep your own style
I like it, I like it
I finally found a love
That's for real
Gotta let you know
I like it, I like it
