"Let's All Go Down To The River"

"Let's All Go Down To The River"



Let's all go down to the river
There's a man
Walkin' on the water
Come along with me
All I want to see
Is this man walkin' on the water

He can raise the dead from the grave
Change the water
Turn it into wine
He can make the lame walk
He can make the dumb talk
And open up the eyes of the blind

Let's all go down to the river
There's a man
Walkin' on the water
Come along with me
All I want to see
Is this man walkin' on the water

Jesus is the man at the river
And He washes people's sins away
He can save your soul
If you give Him control
Be ready for that judgment day

Let's all go down to the river
There's a man
Walkin' on the water
Come along with me
All I want to see
Is this man walkin' on the water

Let's all go down to the river
There's a man
Who's walkin' on the water
Come along with me
All I want to see
Is this man walkin' on the water

Let's all go down to the river
There's a man
Who's walkin' on the water
Come along with me
All I want to see
Is this man walkin' on the water

Let's all go down to the river
There's a man
Who's walkin' on the water
Come along with me

"Life"

"Life"



You
Can't look behind
Or you'll never find
Where you're going to

Don't
Don't waste your time
Looking behind
At things you can't undo

Life
What it puts you through
Life
The things it makes you do
You turn around
And another dream falls through
But that's life

So don't
Let it get you down
Or turn you around
What people think of you
For you
Will surely find
What's on their minds
Is they're not you

Life
And what it puts you through
Life
The things it makes you do
You turn around
And another dream falls through
But that's life

Walk
Walk right ahead
And never let it be said
That you've given into

Life
Oh and what it puts you through
Life
And what it makes you do

Just hold on tight
'Cause dreams come true
That's life

Live your life

Life

"Light My Fire"

"Light My Fire"



Those old bad dreams
Been sleeping in your head
Those old dark clouds
Been hanging around your head
But all your hard times
Will vanish in the wind
When the mighty clouds of joy
Come rolling in
Oh, Holy Jesus
Let your love seize us
Oh, let us find sweet peace within
Hallelujah!
Happiness begins,
When the mighty clouds of joy
Come rolling in.
Those old storm clouds
Are slowly drifting by
And those old raindrops
Are fading from your eyes
And oh, Mr. Sun,
Gonna shine on us again
When the mighty clouds of joy
Come rolling in
Oh, Holy Jesus
Let your love seize us
Oh, let us find sweet peace within
Hallelujah!
Happiness begins,
When the mighty clouds of joy
Come rolling in
Holy Jesus
Won't you let your love seize us
Let us find sweet peace within
Hallelujah!
Happiness begins,
When the mighty clouds of joy
Come rolling in

"Little Green Apples"

"Little Green Apples"



And I wake up in the morning
With my hair down in my eyes and she says hi
And I stumble to the breakfast table
While the kids are going off to school, Goodbye.
And she reaches out and takes my hand and squeezes it
And says how you feeling hon?
And I look across at smiling lips that warm my heart,
And see my morning sun.

And if that's not loving me, then all I've got to say,
God didn't make the little green apples,
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summer time.
And there's no such thing as Dr. Seuss
Or Disney Land and Mother Goose, no nursery rhymes.
God didn't make the little green apples,
And it don't rain in Indianapolis in the summer time.
And when myself is feeling low,
I think about her face and go and ease my mind.

Sometimes I call her up, at home,
Knowing she's busy.
And ask her if she can get away,
Meet me and maybe we can grab a bite to eat.
And she drops what she's doing
And she hurries down to meet me, and I'm always late.
But she sits waiting patiently,
And smiles when she first sees me, because she's made that way.

And if that ain't loving me, then all I've got to say,
God didn't make the little green apples,
And it don't snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes.
And there's no such thing as make-believe,
Puppy dogs or autumn leaves, no BB guns.
God didn't make the little green apples,
And it don't snow in Minneapolis when the winter comes.

"Living Again"

"Living Again"



If you would come into my life again
I would never hurt you like I did you then
No I'd be so content
So satisfied to live again

I know my face would wear smile again
And when I feel your touch I'd hear my heart begin
To start beating inside
I'd come alive
So glad
To be living again

I can't count the ways that I missed you
How much I've wanted to kiss you
Girl you know that you're still in my soul

Without your love
I just can't survive
You're the only hope left in this world I have
So won't you say that you love me
You'll make me happy
So glad
To be living again

Ohh I need you girl
One look at you is all I need
To bring breath back to me
So won't you take me by the hand
Let's make love destiny
Just let me live

"Long Ago Tomorrow"

"Long Ago Tomorrow"



Maybe I'll be the things I dream
And not the things I seem
Maybe I'll get to change the world
Before it changes me
And maybe my life
Will always be
Just as happy as it seems
Long ago tomorrow
Long ago tomorrow
Long ago tomorrow

In my dreams
Maybe I'll learn to face the truth
And like the truth I face
Maybe I'll get to find myself
Before I'm lost in space
And maybe a love
Will always be
Just as faithful as it seems
Long ago tomorrow
Long ago tomorrow
Long ago tomorrow

In my dreams
And maybe a love
Will always be
Just as faithful as it seems
Long ago tomorrow
Long ago tomorrow
In my dreams.

"Lord I'm Just A Baby"

"Lord I'm Just A Baby"



Lord I'm just a baby
Teach me how to talk
Lord I'm just a baby
Teach me how to walk
My first word will be Daddy
My first step to Your arms
Lord I'm just a baby
Let me have a baby's charm

I'm still a baby
Lord Jesus
Even though the world says I'm a man
You know that I want to grow up
And with your help
I know I can

Lord I'm just a baby
Tiny and afraid
I cry when I get hungry
And when I've disobeyed
Please feed me 'till I'm older
Then feed me when I'm old
Lord I'm just a baby
With a brand new thirsty soul

I'm still a baby
Lord Jesus
Even though the world says I'm a man
You know that I want to grow up
And with your help
I know I can

Lord I'm just a baby
With a brand new thirsty soul

"Love Of The Common People"

"Love Of The Common People"



Living on free food tickets
Water in the milk from the hole in the roof
Where the rain came through
What can you do? hm hm

Tears from little sister
Crying 'cause she doesn't have a dress
Without a patch for the party to go
Oh but you know, she'll get by

She is living in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy her a dream to cling to
Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can, as she can

It's a good thing you don't have bus fare
It would fall through the hole in your pocket
And you'd lose it in the snow on the ground
A walkin' to town to find a job

Trying to keep your hands warm
But the hole in your shoe let the snow come through
And the chills to the bone
Oh, you better go home where it's warm

Where you can live in the love of the common people
Smiles from the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can, as she can

Living on dreams ain't easy
But the closer the knit, the tighter the fit
And the chills stay away
You take them in stride, family pride

You know that faith is your foundation
And with whole lotta love and a warm conversation
And plenty of prayer
Making you strong, where you belong

Where you can live in the love of the common people
Be the pride in the heart of a family man
Daddy's gonna buy you a dream to cling to
Mamma's gonna love her just as much as she can, as she can

"Lyin' Again"

"Lyin' Again"



The morning sun woke me
I felt the warmth of soft skin beneath my hand
Last night the devil got to me
And today I'm just a common man
So I'll get up and say goodbye
On my way home I'll make up the lie
That holds our lives together one more time

I'll be lyin' again
I'll be tryin' again
Hopin' I don't hurt you
Like the last time
But you'll be cryin' again
You know I'm lyin' again
Telling you
This is the last time

I'll be lyin' again
I'll be tryin' again
Again

"Mama"

"Mama"



Who's the one who tied you shoe when you were young
And knew just when to come and see what you had done
Mama oh mama
And who's the one who patched your eye and told you not to cry
Cause he was to big for you to try
Mama mama

And who's the one you didn't need to plead
To give her time to the little league
It was mama oh mama
And who's the one who gave her shoulder
When you told her your first love was over
She'd met someone older mama mama

It was mama, my mama, mama, oh mama

Who's the one who taught you obligation then dedication
Results graduation mama mama
And who's the one who's shown the friends you've known
A home away from home when they were tired and all alone
Mama mama

And who's the one who held a tear inside
When you introduced you future bride
And who's the one that didn't mean to cry
As you walked down the isle through tears you saw her
Smile
Mama oh mama
Mama my mama
It was mama my mama
