"He Don't Love You (Like I Love You)"

"He Don't Love You (Like I Love You)"


[Chorus:]
He don't love you like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
He don't love you like I love you
He's tryin' to tear us apart

Fare thee well, I know you're leavin' (I know you're leavin')
For the new love that you've found
The handsome guy that you've been dating, whoa
I got a feelin' he's gonna put you down, 'cause

[Chorus]

He uses all the great quotations
Says the things I wish I could say
Whoa, but he's had so many rehearsals
Girl, to him it's just another play, but wait

When the final act is over
And you're left standing all alone
When he takes his bow and makes his exit
Girl, I'll be there to take you home

He don't love you (and he never will) like I love you
If he did, he wouldn't break your heart
Oh, he don't love you, girl, like I love you
He's tryin' to tear us apart

Whoa, he don't love you like I love you
If he did

"He's Got It All In Control"

"He's Got It All In Control"



He's got it all in control
He's got it all in control
He's put that reassurance
Way down in my soul
He's got it all in control

I've put my life in His hands
I've put my life in His hands
So every road I walk down
I'm sure is in His plan
'Cause I've put my life in His hands

He holds the stars in the sky
He holds the land back from the sea
If He can do all of that
Surely he can take care
Of you and me

He's got it all in control
He's got it all in control
He's put that reassurance
Way down in my soul
He's got it all in control

He's got it all in control
God's got it all in control
He's put that reassurance
Way down in my soul
He's got it all in control

He's got it all in control
God's got it all in control

He's got it all in control
God's got it all in control
He's got all in control

"He's Got Religion"

"He's Got Religion"



I grew up in the void place south of Heaven
Couldn't find the Lord to save my life
Then I realized the trouble is I wasn't lookin'
Oh if you don't seek
How can you expect to find

So I talked to the Man
I said whats the deal now
He was kind and he said
You know the way
Then I reached into my soul and bought a one way ticket
The only price I paid was some friends who often say

Oh no here he comes and he's got religion
Oh no now you know that's all we'll hear
But I say
Ain't it hard to believe that life's sweetest story
Still finds it's way and falls upon deaf ears

Well I have to admit that my conversation
Gets around to the message of my song
Tell me how can we go out and teach all nations
If we haven't heard the lesson here at home

And I guess when your life's been blessed like mine has
You just naturally want to let others know
So my friend if we meet by the gates of Glory
I wanna be the one to say I told you so

Oh no here he comes and he's got religion
Oh no now you know that's all we'll hear
But I say
Ain't it hard to believe that life's sweetest story
Still finds it's way and falls upon deaf ears

Oh no here he comes and he's got religion
Oh no now you know that's all we'll hear
But I say
Ain't it hard to believe that life's sweetest story
Still finds it's way and falls upon deaf ears

Oh no here he comes and he's got religion
Oh no now you know that's all we'll hear
But I say
Ain't it hard to believe that life's sweetest story
Still finds it's way and falls upon deaf ears

"He's The Hand On My Shoulder"

"He's The Hand On My Shoulder"



He's the hand on my shoulder
When I need to know someone cares
He's the hand on my shoulder
Assuring me that He's always there

He's the voice in the silence
That sounds so sweet and so clear
He's the voice in the silence
Telling me that He's always near

So there's no need for me to worry
When things aren't going quite so smooth
'Cause just as long as I put my trust in Him
He will always see me through

He's the light in the darkness
Shining through bright as day
He's the light in the darkness
Guiding me each step of the way

He's the hand on my shoulder
When I need to know someone cares
He's the hand on my shoulder
Assuring me that He's always there

"He's Walking In My Shoes"

"He's Walking In My Shoes"



He used to walk this earth
With sandals on His feet
Many people would gather 'round
Just to hear Him speak
With His hands He'd heal the sick
And open the eyes that could not see
And just to think that life that lives in Him
Is now a part of me

Now He's walking in my shoes
He's singing with my voice
He's reaching out with my hands
Helping someone make the right choice
He's smiling with my face
He's showing me the way
And I'm so glad that I can be a part
He's living in my heart

With his voice He'd speak
And calm an angry sea
Yet He said that one day
We'd do greater things than He
He forgave the men that nailed Him to a tree
And just to think that His spirit
Now lives inside of me

Now He's walking in my shoes
He's singing with my voice
He's reaching out with my hands
Helping someone make the right choice
He's smiling with my face
He's showing me the way
And I'm so glad that I can be a part
He's living in my heart

Now He's walking in my shoes
He's singing with my voice
He's reaching out with my hands
Helping someone make the right choice
Now He's smiling with my face
He's showing me the way
And I'm so glad that I can be a part
He's living in my heart

"Hello Love"

"Hello Love"



My life was cold
Then you came and warmed my soul
I need you everyday to stop my loneliness

In you I see
Everything that's good for me
Goodbye misery
Hello love

I ain't believing
This wonderful feeling
That I'm receiving
When I touch your hand

And now I see
What a happy thing can be
Goodbye misery
Hello love

I ain't believing
This wonderful feeling
That I'm receiving
When I touch your hand

Oh now I see
What a happy thing can be
Goodbye misery
Hello love

Goodbye misery
Hello love

Goodbye misery
Hello love

"Help Me Make It (To My Rockin' Chair)"

"Help Me Make It (To My Rockin' Chair)"



Met the girl that I want to get to know a little better
Tonight I'm gonna take her to the picture show
Gonna park in the darkest spot I know
I got a question
That I never asked anybody else before

Hey would you help me make it to my rockin' chair
Love me all of my life
Don't wanna grow old without ya
Don't wanna be out in the cold without ya
No more

Help me make it to my rockin' chair
Been saving my good times for the good
Would you hold me and never ever let me go

I've been told about love for so long
Been left cold without love for so long
Told of disappointments all so wrong
And I can't see me
In tomorrow
Without you beside me

Help me make it to my rockin' chair
Love me all of my life
Don't wanna grow old without ya
Don't wanna be out in the cold without ya
No more

Help me make it to my rockin' chair
Been saving my good times for the good
Would you hold me and never ever let me go

Help me make it to my rockin' chair
Been saving my good times for the good
Would you hold me and never ever let me go

Hey would you help me make it to my rockin' chair
Love me all of my life
Don't wanna grow old without ya
Don't wanna be out in the cold without ya
No more

Help me make it to my rockin' chair
Been saving my good times for the good
Would you hold me and never ever let me go

Help me make it to my rockin' chair
Been saving my good times for the good
Would you hold me and never ever let me go

"Hey Jesus, You're My Best Friend"

"Hey Jesus, You're My Best Friend"



You almost have to lose your mind
To find yourself sometimes
You have to close your eyes to see

Just when I thought I'd reached the end
You let it all begin
You made it easy to be me

You're the wall I hide behind
You shelter me from time to time
You're reaching out
When I feel like giving in
You're the door that I walk through
When I need someone to turn to
Hey Jesus
You're my best friend

You're the only one
I've ever found
That didn't give up
When I let 'em down
I guess that's how love's supposed to be
When there's no one else around
I fall down to the ground
I feel so tall down on my knees

You're the wall I hide behind
You shelter me from time to time
You're reaching out
When I feel like giving in
Oh, you're the door that I walk through
When I need someone to turn to
Hey Jesus
You're my best friend

Hey hey Jesus
You're my best friend

"His Eye Is On The Sparrow"

"His Eye Is On The Sparrow"



Why should I feel discouraged?
Why should the shadows come?
Why should my heart be lonely
And long for heaven and home?
When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is He

His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

Let not your heart be troubled
His tender work I hear
And resting on His goodness
I lose my doubts and fears
Though by the path He leadeth
But one step I may see

His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

Whenever I am tempted
Whenever clouds arise
When songs give place to sighing
When hope within me dies...
I draw then closer to Him
From care He sets me free

His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He cares for me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
For His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me

"Home Where I Belong"

"Home Where I Belong"



They say that heavens pretty
And living here is too
But if they said that I would
Have to choose between the two

I'd go home, going home
Where I belong
And sometimes when I'm dreaming
It comes as no surprise
That if you look and see
The homesick feeling in my eyes

I'm going home, going home
Where I belong
While I'm here I'll serve him gladly
And sing him all my songs

I'm here, but not for long
And when I'm feeling lonely
And when I'm feeling blue
It's such a joy to know that
I am only passing through

I'm headed home, going home
Where I belong
And one day I'll be sleeping
When death knocks on my door
And I'll awake and find
That I'm not homesick anymore

I'll be home, going home
Where I belong, hmm
