"God Bless The Child"
(originally by Billie Holiday)

"God Bless The Child"
(originally by Billie Holiday)



Them that's God shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the Bible says
And it still is news

Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own

Yeah, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't
Ever make the grade

Momma may have
Poppa may have

But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own

Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowdin' round the door
When it's gone and
Spendin' ends

Rich realations give
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much

Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own

"God Will Take Care Of You"

"God Will Take Care Of You"


Be not dismayed whatever betide you, you need to know
(God will take care of you)
Beneath His wings of love abide you, you need to know
(God will take care of you)
Through days of toil when heart does fail
When dangers fierce your path assail, you better remember

[Chorus:]
God will take care of you,
Through every day (through every day)
All of the way
God will take care of you; He will take care of you

All you may need (all you may need) He will provide,
(God will take care of you)
Nothing you ask, my friend, will be denied,
(God will take care of you)

No matter what (no matter what)
May be the test (may be the test)
Lean, weary one (lean, weary one)
Safe in his rest (safe in his rest)
And you just remember that you know

[Chorus]

Through your trials and through your storms
When it seems you can't hold on
Trouble is on ever side, cried so much you just can't cry no more
They can talk about you, laugh about you, say that it's over
But it's not over until God says it's over
Remember that he is always faithful
You serve a God who's able to take care of you

[Chorus x2]

"Going Down Slow"

"Going Down Slow"



I have had my fun if I never get well no more
I have had my fun if I never get well no more
All of my health is failing
Lord, I'm going down slow

I'm going down slow
Please write my father and tell him the shape I'm in
Please write my father and tell him the shape I'm in
Tell her to pray for me
Forgive me for my sin
For all of my sin

On the next train south, look for my clothes back home
On the next train south, look for my clothes back home
'Cause all of my health is failing
Lord, I'm going down slow
I'm going down slow

All of my health is failing
Lord, I'm going down slow
I'm going down slow

Feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow
I feel like I'm going, like I'm going down slow

"Good News"

"Good News"


Extra, extra
Read all about it
Extra, extra
We heard the good news

We've come this far by faith
Pick up your pace and don't you be late
I'm here to tell you about the good news
There's something about the path that we choose

Wisdom has built this house now
Integrity will bring your pride out
If you know how to pray the situation out
You'll get an answer, and there ain't no doubt

Monday, we held it together and
Wednesday, we had stormy weather and
Friday, we prayed it all better
And Sunday, we heard the good news

He won't stop blessing you
Look here, what He'll do
Is keep testing you
And a beggar's no less than you
'Cause one day it could be you

So get your folks together for some church
Some good music, prayer, and service won't hurt
Even if you don't like the preacher
There's bound to be a thing or two he can teach you

Monday, we held it together and
Wednesday, we had stormy weather and
Friday, we prayed it all better and
Sunday, we heard the good news

Deceit is in the heart of them who imagine evil
Righteousness is the fruit of the tree of all people
And if you want to live your life upright
Pray that the Lord will hold up the light

What you need is love on your side
The power of love won't be denied
I feel comfortable giving you this advice
Don't make the same mistake twice

Monday, we held it together and
Wednesday, we had stormy weather and
Friday, we prayed it all better
And Sunday, we heard the good news [Repeat]

These are the greatest days of our test of time
We need to be walking with a made-up mind
Walk by faith, not by sight
Then all your battles, you know He will fight

If the sky changes colors there's so many ways
This world's gonna be a better place some day
If love and unity, you just believe
Then all your blessings I know you'll receive

Glory to God in the Highest
Glory, Glory, Glory
Jesus, man who walked on water
Jesus, He's alright, He's alright

Monday, we held it together and
Wednesday, we had stormy weather and
Friday, we prayed it all better
And Sunday, we heard the good news [Repeat]

"Good Times"
(originally by Sam Cooke)

"Good Times"
(originally by Sam Cooke)



Everybody, get in the groove and let the good times roll;
I'm gon' stay here 'til I soothe my soul,
If it takes all night long... yeah...

It might be one o'clock, and it might be three;
Time don't mean that much to me!
I ain't had this much fun since I don't know when,
And I might not feel this good again...

Oh! Get in the groove and let the good times roll;
I'm gon' stay here 'til I soothe my soul,
If it takes all night long, yeah...

All night - it takes all day...
All night, and all day...
I'm gonna get in the groove and let the good times roll...
Stay here 'til I soothe my soul!
If it takes all night long... yeah...

It might be one o'clock, and it might be three;
I don't care, 'cause time means nothin' to me!
I ain't been swingin' since I don't know when,
And I might not be swingin' this way again...

Oh! Get in the groove and let the good times roll;
You can stay here 'til you soothe your soul,
If it takes all night long, yeah...

All night, and all day...
All night, and all day...
I'm gon' stay here - I ain't gonna move;
Come on, soul brotha, help me find the groove!
I don't care who's knockin' on the door...

"Good To Me As I Am To You"

"Good To Me As I Am To You"



If you had a dollar
And I had a dime
I wonder, could I borrow yours
As easy as you could mine?

Because when you need my love
And I give time after time
And turn around to find me no returns
Then, my friend, you've used my dimes

If there's water in the pitcher
And we both need a drink
To stay alive, my darling
I'd need less water than you'd think

My love, my love, these things, I swear, I say are true
And all I'm really saying is be as good to me as I am to you
Oh, yeah
Listen to this

Some people want
But they don't wanna give
They can do all of the wrong in the world
And got the nerve to not understand the meaning of loving me

Starting today
Tomorrow and forevermore
If you can't find it in your heart to do for me
Then, baby, just don't darken my front door

Baby
I want you to be as good to me as I am to you
Whoo, baby
I don't think that's asking you too much to do

Listen
Don't you walk around here
Feeling like you can treat me any ol' way
Using my love, my time, my heart
Day, day after day

Oh baby, baby
Be as good to me as I am to you
Whoo, whoo
Baby

"Groovin'"
(originally by The Rascals)

"Groovin'"
(originally by The Rascals)



Groovin'
On a Sunday afternoon
Groovin'
Couldn't get away too soon

I can't imagine anything that's better
The world is ours whenever we're together
There ain't no place I'd rather be
Instead of groovin'

Groovin'
On a crowded avenue
Groovin'
Anything we like to do

There ain't no place I'd rather be
Imagine all the people that we'd like to see

Groovin'
On a Sunday afternoon
Groovin'
Couldn't get away too soon

Groovin'
On a Sunday afternoon
Groovin'
I couldn't get away too soon, baby

Oh darling, you send me
You
You
