"Mimi's House"

"Mimi's House"



I remember many times when I was just a child,
How I played in that old house upon the farm
With rocking chairs and squeaky stairs, all pieces of her world,
And a fire in her room to keep us warm.

'Cause no one is a stranger in Mimi's house,
'Cause love has made His home there in her heart
And she's got that infectious way of laughing right out loud
That takes away my pain and lights the dark

And now we're not as young as when I played there all the time,
And the visits seemed too scarce and far between,
But life goes on at Mimi's house, and in my mind I'm there,
With a fire in her room to keep us warm

'Cause no one is a stranger in Mimi's house,
'Cause love has made His home there in her heart
And she's got that infectious way of laughing right out loud
That takes away my pain and lights the dark

And when I stop and think of how she's aging,
Growing strong and graceful in her God
Well, you know it takes my fear away from aging;
She seems to know the secret that we'll never be apart

'Cause no one is a stranger in Mimi's house,
'Cause love has made His home there in her heart
And she's got that infectious way of laughing right out loud
That takes away my pain and lights the dark

Yes, she's got that infectious way of laughing right out loud
That takes away my pain and lights the dark

"Missing You"

"Missing You"


Your smile lights up a room
Like a candle in the dark
It warms me through and through
And I guess that I had dreamed
We would never be apart
But that dream did not come true

[Chorus:]
Missing you is just a part of living
Missing you feels like a way of life
I'm living out the life that I've been given
But baby I still wish you were mine

And I cannot hear the telephone
Jangle on the wall
And not feel a hopefull thrill
And I cannot help but smile
At any news of you at all
And I guess I always will

[Chorus]

"Mister Santa"

"Mister Santa"



Mister Santa
Bring me some toys
Bring Merry Christmas
To all girls and boys
And every night
I'll go to sleep singing
And dream about
The presents you'll be bringing
Santa
Promise me please
Give every reindeer
A hug and a squeeze
I'll be good
As good can be
Mister Santa
Don't forget me

Mister Santa
Dear old Saint Nick
Be awful careful
And pleae don't get sick
Put on your coat
When breezes are blowin'
And when you cross the street
Look where you're goin'
Santa
We've been so good
We've washed the dishes
And done what we should
Made up the beds
Scrubbed up our toesies
We've used a Kleenex
When we've blown our noseies
Oh Santa
Look at our ears
They're clean as whistles
We're sharper then shears
Now we've put you on the spot
Mister Santa
Bring us a lot

"Mountain Top"

"Mountain Top"


I love to sing and I love to pray
Worship the Lord most everyday
I go to the temple, and I just want to stay
To hide from the hustle of the world and its ways

[Chorus:]
And I'd love to live on a mountain top
Fellowshipping with the Lord
I'd love to stand on a mountain top
'Cause I love to feel my spirit soar
But I've got to come down from that mountain top
To the people in the valley below
Or they'll never know that they can go
To the mountain of the Lord

Now, praising the Father is a good thing to do
Worship the Trinity in spirit and truth
But if we worshipped all of the time
There would be no one to lead the blind

[Chorus]

Now, I am not saying that worship is wrong
But worship is more than just singing a song
It's all that you say, and everything that you do
It's letting His Spirit live through you

[Chorus]

"My Jesus, I Love Thee"

"My Jesus, I Love Thee"



My Jesus, I love Thee, I know Thou art mine;
For Thee all the follies of sin I resign.
My gracious Redeemer, my Savior art Thou;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

I love Thee because Thou has first loved me,
And purchased my pardon on Calvary's tree.
I love Thee for wearing the thorns on Thy brow;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now.

In mansions of glory and endless delight,
I'll ever adore Thee in heaven so bright;
I'll sing with the glittering crown on my brow;
If ever I loved Thee, my Jesus, 'tis now

"Never Give You Up"

"Never Give You Up"


There's never been a doubt
But sometimes I feel afraid
We need to talk it out
That always makes it o.k.

Sometimes friends don't understand
The love I have for You,
But everywhere I go I know
I just want more of You.

[Chorus:]
I will never give You up Lord, not in a million years,
I will never give You up for as long as I live
I will never give You up Lord, not in a milion years,
'Cause You have put this love inside my heart

I know You know me well
You know each struggle that's in my mind
But since You hold my heart
I'll leave the struggles behind

I don't have to understand
This love I have for You
'Cause everywhere I go I know
I just need more of You

[Chorus]

I will never give You up Lord, not in a million years
I will never give You up, for as long as I live

I'm so glad I found You
Want to build my life around You
Oh, You've got to know that I'll never let go of You

[Chorus]

"Nobody Home"

"Nobody Home"


Main street U.S.A. boarded up and dry
Knowing what once was here just makes me want to cry
Used to be the favorite place, yeah
Now what remains are memories even time cannot erase

Old man Johnson's store, where we grew up too fast
All that remains today are echoes from the past
Used to be a booming town, yeah
Now all that's left is either boarded up or broken down

[Chorus:]
Singing, oh ah, oh ah, oh ah, oh
Where we used to belong
There ain't nobody home
Said, oh ah, oh ah, oh ah, oh
You can knock all you want
But, ain't nobody home

Packed up, moved away, running from the past
Leaving behind the dusty dreams and broken glass
Used to be a busy town, yeah
Now everybody passes through, but they don't stick around

[Chorus]

Was a newsstand on the corner
Right next to the barber shop
And down the street there
That's where all the kids would stop
And they would tease the neigbor's bulldog
Laugh and run away
And now there's no one left
Who knows the truth in what you say

[Chorus]

"Not Giving Up"

"Not Giving Up"



If you think you're gonna fail
Well, you're probably gonna fail
So tell me, what was all the dreaming for?
And if you think you're gonna lose
Well, you're probably gonna lose
So what's the point in trying anymore?

What you're looking for, you'll find
It happens every time

I'm not giving up,
Not giving up on you
You can say you've had enough
But I won't stop calling,
I'm not giving up,
Not giving up on you
Not giving up on you

When your fragile heart is breaking
And your confidence is shaken
I can tell you that we've all been there before
The first step is hard to take
But it's a choice you gotta make
When life is waiting through that open door

I wish that you could see
The way you look to me

I'm not giving up,
Not giving up on you
You can say you've had enough
But I won't stop calling,
I'm not giving up,
Not giving up on you
Not giving up on you

Oh, not so long ago,
You pulled me through

So I'm not giving up,
Not giving up on you
Even if the rain comes down
And your sky is falling
I'm not giving up,
Not giving up on you
You can say you've had enough
But I won't stop calling,
I'm not giving up,
Not giving up on you
You know we can work this out
If we just keep talking
I'm not giving up,
Not giving up on you
Not giving up on you

Cause is you think you have a chance
Then you really have a chance
I hope you know that I believe in you

"O Come All Ye Faithful"

"O Love That Will Not Let Me Go"

"O Love That Will Not Let Me Go"



O love that will not let me go
I rest my weary soul in Thee
I give Thee back the life I owe
That in thine ocean depths its flow
My richer, fuller be

O Light that followest all my way
I yield my flickering torch to Thee
My heart restores its borrowed ray
That in thy sunshines glow its day
May brighter, fairer be

O Joy you seek me through the pain
I cannot close my heart to thee
I trace the rainbow through the rain
And feel the promise is not vain
That morn shall tearless be
