"I May Never Get To Heaven"

"I May Never Get To Heaven"



I walked with you
And talked with you
And held your loving hands

We loved awhile
I lived awhile
And thought that fate
Had it planned

Then someone stole my angel
And I lost what I loved most
I may never get to Heaven
But I once came very close

I may never play a golden harp
Or spread some angel wings
Or walk a golden staircase
While the distant chorus sings

But once I held your sweet love
And felt your tender touch
I may never get to Heaven
But I didn't miss it much

I may never get to Heaven
But I didn't miss it much
I may never get to Heaven

"I Need To Be Still (And Let God Love Me)"

"I Need To Be Still (And Let God Love Me)"



I need to be still and let God love me
I need to be still and let God love me
When this old world starts to push and shove me
I need to be still and let God love me

I need to relax and let God take over
I need to relax and let God take over
He'll take this load off my shoulders
I need to relax and let God take over

When there's trouble all around me
And my soul cries out for rest
When I feel that I'm falling
Even though I've done my best
When decisions get so heavy
And there are answers that I need
I know it's time to just be still and let
God love me

I need to be still and let God love me
I need to be still and let God love me
When this old world starts to push and shove me
I need to be still and let God love me

I need to be still and let God love me
I need to be still and let God love me
When this old world starts to push and shove me
I need to be still and let God love me

"I Need You So"

"I Need You So"



I need you so
To keep me happy
And if I can't have you
I know I can't go on

I need your arms
Around me tightly
You know I miss you nightly
When you're not at home

When day is done
I need you so
I lie awake
To hear your knock on my door

When you leave me
I try not to worry
So just come back in a hurry
'Cause I need you so

"I Pray For Rain"

"I Pray For Rain"



I pray for rain
I pray for rain
Picnic basket
Filled with goodies
For you and your new love
To have dinner on the ground

Oh oh
I pray for rain
I pray for rain
If it rains
It won't be groovy
For you and your new love
To share the new love that you've found

Oh oh
I pray for rain
I pray for rain

Rainy season
Setting in
On you and your new love
I'll be seeing you again
I pray for rain
I pray for rain

"I Recall A Gypsy Woman"

"I Recall A Gypsy Woman"



Silver coins that jingle jangle,
Fancy shoes that dance in time.
Oh, the secrets of her dark eyes,
They did sing a gypsy rhyme.

Yellow clover in tangled blossoms,
In a meadow, silky green.
Where she held me to her bosom,
Just a boy of seventeen.

I recall a gypsy woman,
Silver spangles in her eyes.
Ivory skin against the moonlight,
And the taste of life's sweet wine.

Soft breezes blow from fragrant meadows,
And stir the darkness in my mind.
Oh, gentle woman, you sleep beside me;
Little know who haunts my mind.

Gypsy lady, I hear your laughter,
And it dances in my head.
While my tender wife and babies,
Slumber softly in their beds.

I recall a gypsy woman,
Silver spangles in her eyes.
Ivory skin against the moonlight,
And the taste of life's sweet wine.

I recall a gypsy woman,
Silver spangles in her eyes.
Ivory skin against the moonlight,
And the taste of life's sweet wine.

"I Saw Pity In The Face Of A Friend"

"I Saw Pity In The Face Of A Friend"



I saw pity in the face of a friend
And that's something I don't wanna see again
With sad eyes he gave me sympathy
'Cause he knew
Yes he knew
That you've been cheatin' on me

Oh I saw pity in the face of a friend
Even though he tried to hide it with a grin
Yes he put on a very good act
But I knew, yes I knew
You'd been runnin' around behind my back

So I'm taking that road away from you
Gonna find myself a place to hide
And when people remember they say
He was saving face and pride

Oh oh
I saw pity in the face of my friend
But for some reason I had to look again
And there in his eyes
The truth was plain to see
It was him, yes it was him
That you really loved and not me

Oh I saw saw pity in the eyes of my friend
And it told me that you loved only him
And not me
Oh oh I saw pity in the eyes of a friend

"I Wanna Be Ready"

"I Wanna Be Ready"



I don't know how long I'll be here
'Cause Jesus said He'd come again
And where He leads I will go with Him
When I hear Him call my name

I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready

I cannot be sure of
When it will take place
But it does not matter
If I'm walking in His grace

I feel it won't be long now
Until He comes for me
He's gonna take me with Him
And at His feet I'll bow

I wanna be ready
Oh, I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
Oh, I wanna be ready

I wanna be ready
Oh, I wanna be ready
I wanna be ready
Oh, I wanna be ready

I wanna be ready
Oh, I wanna be ready
Oh, I wanna be ready

"I Want To Be More Like Jesus"

"I Want To Be More Like Jesus"



What kind of man
Would wash men's feet
Get pushed around
Then turn the other cheek
I want to be more like Him
Everyday
In every way

So little time
He took for Himself
He was more concerned
For everybody else
I want to be more like Him
Everyday
In every way

I want to be more like Jesus
That's why I've put my life in His hands
I want to be more like Jesus
And with His help I know that I can

As tears of pain
Fell from His eyes
He prayed for those
Who had him crucified
I want to be more like Him
Everyday in every way

I want to be more like Jesus
That's why I've put my life in His hands
I want to be more like Jesus
And with His help I know that I can

Oh,
I want to be more like Jesus
That's why I've put my life in His hands
Oh oh
I want to be more like Jesus

"I'm Gonna See Jesus"

"I'm Gonna See Jesus"


I've never seen the Eiffel Tower.
I've never seen the streets of Rome.
I've never seen the worlds seven wonders,
But I'll see the greatest wonder that day when I go home.

I'm gonna see Jesus, I'm gonna see Jesus.
I'll see him smile open His arms and walk my way
I'm gonna see Jesus, I'm gonna see Jesus
I'm gonna look into His eyes someday

I may not see that much of riches
I may not see that much of fame
I may not see that much of wordly treasures
And if I never do, Ii really haven't missed a thing, cause
[Repeat chorus twice]
