"People Get Ready"
(originally by The Impressions)



I believe
I believe
I believe
I do believe

People get ready, there's a train comin' (ooh)
Don't need no baggage, you just get on board
All we need is faith to hear the diesels hummin'
You don't need no ticket, well just thank the Lord
(Thank the Lord)

People get ready, for the train to Jordan
It's picking up passengers from coast to coast
Faith is the key, open the doors and board 'em
There's hope for all among His loved the most

I believe
I believe
I believe
I do believe

There ain't no room for the hopeless sinner (sinner)
Whom would hurt all mankind just to save his own
Have pity on those whose chances grow thinner
For there is no hiding place against the kingdom's throne
There is no hiding place against the kingdom's throne

So people get ready, there's a train comin'
You don't need no ticket, we'll just get on board
All you need is faith, yeah, to hear those diesels hummin'
You don't need no baggage, you just thank the Lord

Oh, we'll just thank the Lord
Thank the Lord
Thank the Lord
Thank the Lord

You don't need no ticket, we'll just thank the Lord
I said, we'll just thank the Lord
Thank the Lord
Thank the Lord

(Get on board)
I'll thank You because I need You

"Pitiful"

"Pitiful"



Oh pitiful
Feel so sorry for me
Pitiful
It's pitiful
Feel so sorry for me
Though you dont' love me you see
You still won't set me free
Oh set me free

I wonder why I wondered why you do me like you do
I wonder why you do me like you do
When you know that I love you baby
And you know I wouldn't do it to you
No no

It looks like it makes you happy
Just to see me cry
Please have mercy on this
Vacant heart of mine
You're trying to see how mean you can be
I would do my dog better that the way you do me

Pitiful
Feel so sorry for myself
Pitiful
Feel so sorry for myself
When you know that you dont' want me baby
But you aint' gonna let me have nobody else now are ya

"Precious Lord, Take My Hand / You've Got A Friend"
(originally by Carole King)

"Precious Lord, Take My Hand / You've Got A Friend"
(originally by Carole King)



When you're down and troubled
And you need some loving care
And nothing, nothing is going right
Close your eyes and think of me
And soon I will be there
To brighten up even your darkest night

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend

If the sky above you
Grows dark and full of clouds
And that old north wind begins to blow
Keep you head together
And call my name out loud
Soon you'll hear me knocking at you door

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there

Ain't it good to know that you've got a friend
When people can be so cold
They'll hurt you, and desert you
And take your soul if you let them

You just call out my name
And you know wherever I am
I'll come running to see you again
Winter, spring, summer or fall
All you have to do is call
And I'll be there
You've got a friend
You've got a friend

Ain't it good to know you've got a friend
Ain't it good to know you've got a friend

"Precious Memories"

"Precious Memories"



Precious memories, how they linger
How they ever flood my soul
In the stillness of the midnight
Precious, sacred scenes unfold.

Precious father, loving mother
Fly across the lonely years
And old home scenes of my childhood
In fond memory appear.

In the stillness of the midnight
Echoes from the past I hear
Old-time singing, gladness bringing
From that lovely land somewhere.

As I travel on life's pathway
Know not what the years may hold
As I ponder, hope grows fonder
Precious memories flood my soul.

"Prove It"

"Prove It"



Prove it, Prove it, Prove it, Prove it to me

Prove,
That it won't bother me,
To become your used to be.
Prove,
That I can just Ignore,
All the love we shared before.

Prove it to my starving Heart!
Prove it to my starving Heart.
Prove it now before we part!
Prove it now before we part.

Prove it, Baby
Prove it, Baby!

Prove,
The loneliness I'll find,
Will be only in my mind.
Prove,
That all these tears that fall,
Aren't really tears at all.

Prove that I don't want to die!
Prove that I don't want to die
Now that you say, "It's goodbye"!
Now that you say, "It's goodbye"

Prove it, Baby
Prove it, Baby!

Before you walk out that door
Prove, I won't love you no more
Prove that i'll forget your kiss
In your arms, I'll never miss
Never Miss
Now let me see you
prove it
Just let me see you
Prove it

Prove,that I don't want to die
Now, That you say, "It's Goodbyye"

Prove it, Baby
Prove it, Baby!

Let me see you
prove it
Just let me see you
Prove it

Prove, that I don't want to die.
Now, That you say, "It's Goodbyye", Baby!

Prove it
Baby!
Let me see you
Prove it

Prove it, Prove it, Prove it, Prove it to me
