"The Christmas Song (Chestnuts)"

"The Christmas Song (Chestnuts)"



Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yuletide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like eskimos

Everybody knows a turkey and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight

They know that Santa's on his way
He's bringing lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple wish
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you

They know that Santa's on his way
He's bringing lots of toys and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer really know how to fly
And so I'm offering this simple wish
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said many times, many ways
Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas, Merry Christmas to you

"The Feeling I Had"

"The Feeling I Had"



I cannot take the heat
This girl's going home
Standing on my own two feet
Standing alone
I'm just a little weary of
All the talk and all the buzz
And all I ever wanted was
The feeling I had with us

I cannot take the heat
I guess I'm letting go
I'm tired of stitching up my dreams with
This thread of hope
I'm still a believer of
Twin hearts and timeless love
And all I ever wanted was
The feeling I had with us

All I ever wanted was
The feeling I had with us

The road of life is rugged
Any road you choose
And when I find the other side
I'll look for you

I cannot take the heat
And so I'll say goodbye
A million things I never said
Didn't even try
'Cause words are cheap and sometimes cruel
And stuff you hear is seldom true
And all I ever wanted was
The feeling I had with you
Yeah, all I ever wanted was
The feeling I had with you

"The Lord Has A Will"

"The Lord Has A Will"


I need You Lord, in all I do
You're always there, to see me through
I can't get by unless I lean on You Lord

[Chorus:]
The Lord has a will
And I have a need
To follow that will
To humbly be still
To rest in it, nest in it,
Fully be blest in it
Following my Father's will

Your law of love is in my heart
You wrote it there, it won't depart
It lights my way, and keeps me out of the dark

[Chorus]

I thank You Lord, Your word is sown
Into my life, and there it's grown
It's roots go deep where living waters are known

[Chorus]

"The Lord Is In His Holy Temple"

"The Lord Is In His Holy Temple"



The Lord is in His holy temple;
The Lord is on His heav'nly throne;
His eyes behold the sons of men;
He knows the ones that are His own.
The Lord is in His holy temple;
The Lord is on His heav'nly throne;
Only the righteous will see His face;
Only those with sins atoned.

The wicked and the violent, His soul hates;
On them He'll rain fire and brimstone!
Terrifying tempest is their fate,
When evil is overthrown!

The Lord is in His holy temple;
The Lord is on His heav'nly throne;
His eyes behold the sons of men;
He knows the ones that are His own.
The Lord is in His holy temple;
The Lord is on His heav'nly throne;
Only the righteous will see His face;
Only those with sins atoned.

"The Next Time I Fall"

"The Next Time I Fall"



Love, like a road that never ends
How it leads me back again
To heartache
I'll never understand
Darling, I put my heart up on a shelf
Til the moment was right, and I told myself

The next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do
The next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
It will be with you

Now, as I look into you eyes
Well I wonder if it's wise
To hold you like I've wanted to before
Tonight, I was thinking that you might
Be the one who breathes life in this heart of mine

Next time I fall in love
I know better what to do
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
It will be with you

Next time I'm gonna follow through
And if it drives me crazy
I will know better why
The next time I try

Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love with you

"The Night Before Christmas"

"The Night Before Christmas"



Children carry through the streets
A brightly painted star
Angels gather 'round the hearth
Strumming on guitars
And men of great renown and faith
Say prayers on boulevards
It's the night before Christmas

But you don't have to be an angel
To sing harmony
You don't have to be a child
To love the mystery
And you don't have to be a wise man
On bended knee
The heart of this Christmas is in you and me

The night before Christmas
The night before Christmas

If your heart's been longing
You've been afraid to try
Sorrow's kept you company
And the dance has passed you by
I'll lift you up and blaze with you
Across the moonlit sky
On the night before Christmas

Cause you don't have to be an angel
To sing harmony
You don't have to be a child
To love the mystery
And you don't have to be a wise man
On bended knee
The heart of this Christmas is in you and me
The heart of this Christmas is in you and me

The night before Christmas
The night before Christmas

"The Now And The Not Yet"

"The Now And The Not Yet"



No longer what we were before, but not all that we will be
Tomorrow when we lock the door on all our compromising
When He appears, He'll draw us near
And we'll be changed by His glory
Wrapped up in His glory

We will be like Him
For we shall see Him as He is
No longer what we saw before, but not all that we will see
Tomorrow when we lock the door on all our disbelieving
When He appears, our view will clear
And we'll be changed by His glory
Wrapped up in His glory

But I'm caught in between the now and the not yet
Sometimes it feels like forever and ever
That I've been reaching to be all that I am
But I'm only a few steps nearer
Yet I'm nearer

No longer what we were before, but not all that we will be
Tomorrow when we lock the door on all our compromising
And He appears, He'll draw us near
And we'll be changed by His glory
Wrapped up in His glory

When He appears, He'll draw us near
And we'll be changed by His glory
Wrapped up in His glory

"The Power"

"The Power"


A king is crying from his throne
He had a queen but now she's gone
What is this magic that we seek
The mighty strong turn mighty weak
Every good girl hears it
Every bad boy fears it
No matter what I see
I believe, I believe

[Chorus:]
The power touches me
The power helps us see
The power holds my hand
The power drives me crazy

A flower grows, an old man dies
And through it all we still survive
A poor man screams but no one hears
Ain't nothing changed much through the years
Every bad day needs it
Every good day breeds it
No matter how it feels
When it's real you know it's real
Stronger than any bomb any man has ever made

[Chorus]

And it won't take long to understand
Just how amazed I am

Open up your eyes and see
It won't take long to understand
Just how amazed I am

Every good day needs it
Every bad day needs it
No matter what I see
I believe, I believe
Stronger than any bomb any man has ever made

[Chorus]

If I believe and you believe
And we believe everything is gonna be all right
It just might

"The Prodigal"

"The Prodigal"


I face the day again
Against the window pane
I remain your closest friend
And wish you back again
You wonder how I feel
You think you've pushed too foar
If only you could see this pen
Scribbling down my heart

[Chorus:]
I'll be waiting
I may be young or old and gray
Counting the days
But I'll be waiting
And when I finally see you come
I'll run when I see you
I'll meet you

But still the days drag on
Why did you decide to go
Did you only need to see
What only time can show

[Chorus]

And even if
You never do return
Still I will have learned
How to love you bettter

[Chorus]

"The Things We Do For Love"

"The Things We Do For Love"



Too many broken hearts have fallen in the river
Too many lonely souls have drifted out to sea,
You lay your bets and then you pay the price
The things we do for love, the things we do for love.

Communication is the problem to the answer
You've got her number and your hand is on the phone
The weather's turned and all the lines are down
The things we do for love, the things we do for love.

Like walking in the rain and the snow
When there's nowhere to go
And you're feelin' like a part of you is dying
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes.
You think you're gonna break up
Then she says she wants to make up.

Ooh you made me love you
Ooh you've got a way
Ooh you had me crawling up the wall.

Like walking in the rain and the snow
When there's nowhere to go
And you're feelin' like a part of you is dying
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes.
You think you're gonna break up
Then she says she wants to make up.

Ooh you made me love you
Ooh you've got a way
Ooh you had me crawling up the wall.

A compromise would surely help the situation
Agree to disagree but disagree the part
When after all it's just a compromise of
The things we do for love, the things we do for love....
