"Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus"

"Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus"


O soul are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There's light for a look at the Saviour,
And life more abundant and free:

[Chorus:]
Turn you eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face;
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
In the light of His glory and grace.

Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
Over us sin no more hath dominion
For more than conqu'rors we are!

[Chorus]

His word shall not fail you He promised;
Believe Him and all will be well.
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!

[Chorus]

"Up To My Ears In Tears"

"Up To My Ears In Tears"



You told me you don't love me, when you walked out the door
I stood there feelin' lonely, then the tears began to pour
What else could I do, I'd never felt like that before
So I cried an ol' blue river in the middle of the floor

Now I'm up to my ears in tears
I'm cryin' night and day since you went away
The things you used to say honey, I no longer hear
The water's cold and clear, I'm drownin' for you dear
Up to my ears in tears

Well I found some old love letters you wrote me years ago
But the words all ran together when the tears began to flow
'Cause you left that water runnin' now it's got nowhere to go
If I can't wash away your memory guess I'll just go under slow

'Cause I'm up to my ears in tears
I'm cryin' night and day since you went away
The things you used to say honey, I no longer hear
The water's cold and clear, I'm drownin' for you dear
Up to my ears in tears

Yeah I'm up to my ears in tears
I'm cryin' night and day since you went away
The things you used to say honey, I no longer hear
That water's cold and clear, I'm drownin' for you dear
Up to my ears in tears

Yeah that water's cold and clear
I'm drownin' for you dear
Up to my ears in tears

"USA Today"

"USA Today"



I heard you've been wondering
How I'm getting along
I guess you think I can't make it with you gone
But I don't want you to worry
Don't you lose any sleep
But a man called long-distance this morning
Said they're thinking about putting me
On the cover of the USA Today
The story of heart-breaking pain
Picture of the loneliest man they claim in the USA Today

I don't sleep in the nighttime
Darkness reminds me of you
I lost eight pounds since last Tuesday
But I could stand to lose a few
I don't believe I'm too bad
People say I look fine
The man from the paper seems happy
Says I'm bigger than the latest crime
On the cover of the USA Today
The story of heart-breaking pain
Picture of the loneliest man they claim in the USA Today

So if you're concerned in trouble
Then you're hurting me
Don't you work out this little thing called losing you
Has made a big man out of me
I'm on the cover of the USA Today
The story of heart-breaking pain
Picture of the loneliest man they claim in the USA Today

"Wait A Minute"

"Wait A Minute"



Wait a minute
Did I hear you say you're goin'
Far away again?
Try to change it
I can't take the lonely nights
Without your love

Doin' the road
Get the music done
And move along
What good does it do
To play your songs for her
And hear her say

Wait a minute
Did I hear you say you're goin'
far away again?
Try to change it
I can't take the lonely nights
Without your love

You're rollin' along
Life's been good to you
An even so
She comes to you
Late at night
The time you hear her say
Once again...

Wait a minute
Did I hear you say you're goin'
far away again?
Try to change it
I can't take the lonely nights
Without your love

Try to change it
I can't take the lonely nights
Without your love

"Walk On The Rocks"

"Walk On The Rocks"



After seventeen years behind bars
And lookin' back on his mistakes
He sat down and poured out his heart
When his son came to see him today

He spoke with a voice that trembled
Tryin' to hold back the tears
He said I ain't been much of a father
Son, I wish I could turn back the years

'Cause life's like a river
And the water is deep
Cross it with care
Or you'll end up like me
Let my mistakes
Be your steppin' stones
And walk on the rocks that I stumbled on

He said son stay away from the bottle
Watch out for the company you keep
And hold on to those you love
'Cause love is a man's greatest need

The right way may not be easy
The right road ain't always straight
Son, please don't follow the footsteps
That lead to where I am today

'Cause life's like a river
And the water is deep
Cross it with care
Or you'll end up like me
Let my mistakes
Be your steppin' stones
And walk on the rocks that I stumbled on

Walk on the rocks that I stumbled on

"Walkin' The Floor Over Me"

"Walkin' The Floor Over Me"



There's a lady living right above me
Pretty as a picture on the wall
Once I helped her with a bag of groceries
We met a time or two out in the hall

She told me somebody hurt her feelings
The hurt that's in her eyes is plain to see
Slowly she's been wearing out my ceiling
Walkin' the floor over me

Every night I hear her cryin'
Cryin' over some old memory
A little of my heart is down here dyin'
'Cause she's walkin' the floor over me

Back and forth I followed every footstep
Countin' long enough to fall asleep
Had the sweetest dream last night 'cause I dreamt
She was walkin' the floor over me

Every night I hear her cryin'
Cryin' over some old memory
A little of my heart is down here dyin'
'Cause she's walkin' the floor over me
That woman is walkin' the floor over me

"Wanted"

"Wanted"



Excuse me,
Ma'am can you help me.
I need to place an ad with you today.

No ma'am,
tomorrow may be too late.
I'd like to have it started right away.

What's that.
No this is personal.
I'm not buying or selling anything.
Yes ma'am.
I know just what to say.
I wrote it down,
This is how it should read.

Wanted!
One good hearted woman
to forgive inperfections
in the man that she loves.

Wanted!
Just one chance to tell her
how much he still loves her
he can't be sorry enough.

What's that.
No that's all I want to say
I just hope these few lines will get to her.
Yes ma'am.
She means everything.
I hope she comes back
When she reads these words.

Wanted!
One good hearted woman
to forgive inperfections
in the man that she loves.

Wanted!
Just one chance to tell her
how much he still loves her
he can't be sorry enough.

Wanted!

"Way Beyond The Blue"

"Way Beyond The Blue"



I don't know, I've been told
Streets of heaven are pave with gold
I suppose its true
If heaven has anything like your love
I believe I'll be up in above a time or two
Way beyond the blue

Way beyond the blue
Way beyond the blue
I will be loving you
Way beyond the blue

If sometimes love is like a falling star
It goes so fast, and only goes so far
before it breaks your heart in two
If our love is born like an airboard jet
The higher we go, the far we're gonna get
Way beyond the blue

Way beyond the blue
Way beyond the blue
I will be loving you
Way beyond the blue

Way beyond the blue
Way beyond the blue
I will be loving you
Way beyond the blue

"What A Day Yesterday Was"

"What A Day Yesterday Was"


Looking through these old photographs
Don't they bring good memories back
Some of them make us laugh
And some make us cry
I'm glad we've kept all of these souvenirs
To prove that our love was here
Look at how happy we were
Pictures don't lie

[Chorus:]
If forever should end today
And there's no tomorrow for us
What a day yesterday was

Here's one of us with you calm and cool
But look at me acting a fool
And here's one of us on the ferris wheel
At the fair
Hey, haven't we had some fun
The best may be yet to come
We may have a hundred years
Still left to share
But...

[Chorus:]
If forever should end today
And there's no tomorrow for us
What a day yesterday was

Let's close this book of photographs
And let's turn out the lights
And love for the moment
As if it were the last
And..

[Chorus:]
If forever should end today
And there's no tomorrow for us
What a day yesterday was

What a day yesterday was...

"What A Friend We Have In Jesus"

"What A Friend We Have In Jesus"



What a friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer.

Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
