"Count Your Blessings Instead Of Sheep"

"Count Your Blessings Instead Of Sheep"



When I'm worried and I can't sleep
I count my blessings instead of sheep
And I fall asleep counting my blessings
When my bankroll is getting small
I think of when I had none at all
And I fall asleep counting my blessings

I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads
And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds
If you're worried and you can't sleep
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
And you'll fall asleep counting your blessings

I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads
And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds
If you're worried and you can't sleep
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
And you'll fall asleep counting your blessings

"Cry A River"

"Cry A River"


Who knew love would come walking thru my door
Turn a light on somewhere down inside
Give me a feeling I'd never had before
It was a long wait
It was just the wrong time

But I hope you'll hold me now
Somewhere within
And when you think about
What might have been

[Chorus:]
Cry a river
Flood the sea
Cry a river over me
Take the bitter
With the sweet
And cry a river over me

How do you argue with a feeling in your bones
'Bout what is and what isn't meant to be
Some things you live with
And you never let it show
Like the pain I felt
The day I watched you leave
But I hope you'll think of me
When tender winds blow
Sit on the shores of love
And just let it go

[Chorus]

"Curious Thing"

"Curious Thing"


There was this guy, He was down on his luck
He was truly poverty's child
Well, he had no home and he had no car
And he wore a weary smile
Moved out to L.A., knocked around for awhile
But he was going nowhere
Then he did this movie and it did really well
Now he's a millionaire

[Chorus:]
You see life is a curious thing
You see life, ooh life, is a curious thing
I know a man who could paint the town red
Had a college degree in fun

'Til the doorbell rang and long lost flame said
"This little boy is your son"
Gave him a suitcase and a bear
Left them in a cloud of dust
Now he's checking out schools and driving car pools
Learning to adjust
He says life is a curious thing, yeah
You see life, ooh life is a curious thing

Well I know that it can be demanding
I know that it can be unkind
I don't really understand it
But, Lord sure knows I try
See life is a curious thing, yeah
See life, ooh life, is a curious thing

Let me tell you 'bout a kid I knew
A pudgy girl back in school
She had greasy hair and geeky glasses
The object of ridicule
The other day in the check out line
They were ringing up my rice and beans
There she was just a pretty little face
On the cover of a magazine

[Chorus]

Just goes to show that you never know
Just what tomorrow may bring
But I'll tell you this that what it is
Is seldom what it seems

[Chorus]

"Deep As It Is Wide"
(feat. Sheryl Crow & Eric Paslay)

"Deep As It Is Wide"
(feat. Sheryl Crow & Eric Paslay)



There's a place at the edge of the sky
Where there's a love deep as it is wide
The weak are strong, the hungry are all fed
And there's a breeze from the angels flying overhead
Oh yeah

And there's a path, a glorious light
That guides you up the mountainside
And at the top, if you could you'd cry
Cause you see pure love for the very first time

Deep as it is wide

Every breath taking me closer
Every step leading to paradise
They say the faithful get to go there
I believe there's a love
Deep as it is wide

And I hear, when you get to the river
You look back for the very last time
And when you cross, you get washed off forever
Hurry up boy, eternity's on the other side

Deep as it is wide

Every breath taking me closer
Every step leading to paradise
They say the faithful get to go there
I believe there's a love
Deep as it is wide
I believe there's a love

Every nation, color and creed
Like grace pouring out, far as the eye can see
Singing praises up to a King
Cause He died, for a crowd
Deep as it is wide

Every breath taking me closer
Every step leading to paradise
They say the faithful get to go there
I believe there's a love
I believe
I believe there's a love
I believe there's a love
Deep as it is wide
Deep as it is wide
Deep as it is wide

There's a place at the edge of the sky
Where there's a love deep as it is wide

"Do You Remember The Time"

"Do You Remember The Time"



Do you remember the time your heart was moved to tears?
Can you look back on the moment after all these years?
On the moment love broke through and heaven seemed so near
Do you remember the time your heart was moved to tears?

Do you remember the day you first let Jesus in?
How he gently and tenderely washed away your sin
Don't you know that He still cares the way He did back then?
Do you remember the day you first let Jesus in?

Keep holdin' on
Never letting go
We're not far
from the end of the road

Keep holdin' on
Never letting go
We're not far
from the end of the road

In a moment love broke through heaven and heaven seemed so near
Do you remember the moment your heart was moved to tears?
Do you remember the time your heart was moved to tears?

"Don't Give Up On Me"

"Don't Give Up On Me"


Don't give up on me
Though I know at times it's hard to see
All my many weaknesses might blind you
I must remind you
Don't give up on me
Even when I act so selfish
All my views are all I see
Yes I know there's still so much of me
But God is working constantly to shape me
He'll remake me

[Chorus:]
Don't give up on me I'm gonna make it
I know it's hard for you to see
Don't give up on me I couldn't take it
If a part of me should keep you from seeing
The part of me that should start you believing
I'm changing so please don't give up on me

Don't give up on me
Even when I fail so miserably
Time and again I know I stumble
It makes me humble
Don't give up on me
But never let your love begin to be
Hanging on the things you see
Counting all the times I fail to be
Everything you want from me
I'm trying
Hear me crying

[Chorus]

I know much more than you
How very weak I am
But He believes in me
And so I know you can

When all my views are all I see
Then I know there's still so much of me
But God is working constantly to shape me
He'll remake me

[Chorus 2x]

"Don't Run Away"

"Don't Run Away"


Tell me, does your head keep turnin'
From the feelings churnin' deep inside of you
Tell me, when your mind is racin'
Are the things you're chasin' worth your while
Well, tell me, don't you ever question
Why you're always guessin' reasons for your life
Listen, there's no need to waiver
Long ago the savior died for you, so

[Chorus:]
Don't run away
You're headed nowhere
Keep up the pace
You're gonna go there
You'll fell alone
Who do you know there
Please turn back now
Don't run away
He wants your heart now
Hear what I say
And play it smart now
Wise up today
And give Him all of your love

Tell me, does the fear of losin'
Keep your heart from choosin' who has hold of you
Tell me, have you felt a yearnin'
Deep inside a burnin' need for love now
Tell me, can you sense the fightin'
Hate is now igniting fear of love in you
Listen, God is still here waitin'
He'll remove the hating part of you, so

[Chorus]

"Don't Try So Hard"
(with James Taylor)

"Don't Try So Hard"
(with James Taylor)



Another Monday comes and I just wanna breathe
'Cause it's a long, long week for someone wired to please
I keep taking my aim, pushing it higher
Wanna shine bright, even brighter now
Wish I would tell myself

Don't try so hard
God gives you grace and you can't earn it
Don't think that you're not worth it
Because you are
He gave you His love and He's not leaving
Gave you His Son so you'd believe it
You're lovely even with your scars
Don't try so hard

Do you remember how the summers felt when we were kids?
Oh, we didn't think much about it, we just lived
Taking our time, beautiful leisure
When did we start, trying to measure up
When all of this time, love has been trying to tell us

Don't try so hard
God gives you grace and you can't earn it
Don't think that you're not worth it
Because you are
He gave you His love and He's not leaving
Gave you His Son so you'd believe it
You're lovely even with your scars
Don't try so hard

Don't try so hard

Don't try so hard
God gives you grace
You can't earn it
Stop thinking you're not worth it
Because you are
He gave you His love and He's not leaving
Gave you His Son so you'd believe it
You're lovely even with your scars
Lovely the way you are
So open up your lovely heart
Don't try so hard

"Doubly Good To You"

"Doubly Good To You"



If you see the moon
Rising gently on your fields
If the wind blows softly on your face
If the sunset lingers
While the cathedral bells peal
And the moon has risen to her place

You can thank the Father
For the things he has done
Thank Him for the things He's yet to do
And if you find a love that's tender
If you find someone who's true
Thank the Lord
He's been doubly good to you

If you look in the mirror
At the end of a hard day
And you know in your heart you have not lied
If you gave love freely
If you earned an honest wage
And if you've got Jesus by your side

You can thank the father
For the things He has done
And thank him for the things He's yet to do
And if you find a love that's tender
If you find someone who's true
Thank the Lord
He's been doubly good to you

You can thank the father
For the things He has done
And thank him for the things He's yet to do
And if you find a love that's tender
If you find someone who's true
Thank the Lord
He's been doubly good to you

You can thank the father
For the things He has done
And thank him for the things He's yet to do
And if you find a love that's tender
If you find someone who's true
Thank the Lord
He's been doubly good to you
Thank the Lord
He's been doubly good to you

"El Shaddai"

"El Shaddai"


[Chorus:]
El-Shaddai, El-Shaddai [means "God Almighty, God Almighty"]
El-Elyon na Adonai [means "God in the highest, Oh, Lord"]
Age to age, You're still the same
By the power of the name.
El-Shaddai, El-Shaddai
Erkamka na Adonai [means "We will love You, Oh, Lord"]
We will praise and lift You high
El-Shaddai

Through Your love
And through the ram,
You saved the son
Of Abraham.
Through the power
Of Your hand,
Turned the sea
Into dry land.
To the outcast
On her knees,
You were the God
Who really sees.
And by Your might,
You set Your children free.

[Chorus]

Through the years,
You made it clear,
That the time of Christ
Was near,
Though the people
Couldn't see
What Messiah ought to be.
Though Your Word
Contained the plan,
They just could not understand,
Your most awesome work was done
Though the frailty of Your son.

[Chorus]
