"Take Me As I Am (Or Let Me Go)"

"Take Me As I Am (Or Let Me Go)"


Take me as I am or let me go
Why must you always try to make me over
Take me as I am or let me go
White lilies never grow on stalks of clover
Take me as I am or let me go
You're trying to reshape me in a mold love
In the image of someone you used to know
But I won't be a standing for an old love
Take me as I am or let me go
(Take me as I am or let me go)
You've tried to change me ever since you met me
Take me as I am or let me go
If you can't overlook my faults forget me
Take me as I am or let me go
You're trying to reshape me...

"Take Me Back To Tulsa"

"Take Me Back To Tulsa"


Where's that gal with the red dress on,
Some folks call her Dinah
Stole my heart away from me
Way down in Louisiana

Take me back to Tulsa,
I'm too young to marry
Take me back to Tulsa,
I'm too young to marry.

Little bee sucks the blossom
The big bee gives the honey
Dark man picks the cotton
The white man gets the money.

Take me back to Tulsa,
I'm too young to marry
Take me back to Tulsa,
I'm too young to marry.

Walk 'n talk with Susie
Walk 'n talk with Susie
Walk 'n talk with Susie
Walk 'n talk with Susie.

We'll I've always got a great big smile
Never do look sour,
Travelin' all over this country
Playin' by the hour.

Take me back to Tulsa,
I'm too young to marry
Take me back to Tulsa,
I'm too young to marry...

"Take The Devil Out Of Me"

"Take The Devil Out Of Me"


Oh Jesus, please
Please take the devil outta me.

I've traveled far down this lonesome road
The devil he's got me bent down so low
I've just found out where I want to be
Oh Jesus, please
Please take the devil outta me.

I'm getting tired of living in sin
I'm tired of keeping the devil for my friend
I want so badly to be set free
Oh Jesus, please
Please take the devil outta me.

Now, I'm so happy, I'm free from sin
Because I left my dear Savior in
My Jesus told me that I was free
Oh Jesus, thank you
You took the devil outta me.

I'm getting tired of living in sin
I'm tired of keeping the devil for my friend
I want so badly to be set free
Oh Jesus, please
Please take the devil outta me.

"Take The World But Give Me Jesus"
(originally by Matt Redman)

"Take The World But Give Me Jesus"
(originally by Matt Redman)



I've thrown it all away
That I might gain a life in you
I've found, all else is lost compared
To the joys of knowing you
Your beauty and your majesty
Are far beyond compare
You've won my heart
Now this will be my prayer.

Take the world but give me Jesus
You're the treasure in this life
Take the world but give me Jesus is my cry
Now I've seen you as the Saviour
I will leave the rest behind
Take the world but give me Jesus is my cry.

Into the world I go
That I might live this life of love
I won't be overcome for
you are in me and you are strong
For time and for eternity
I know I'm in your care
You've won my heart
Now this will be my prayer.

Take the world but give me Jesus
You're the treasure in this life
Take the world but give me Jesus is my cry
Now I've seen you as the Saviour
I will leave the rest behind
Take the world but give me Jesus is my cry...

"Take These Chains From My Heart"

"Take These Chains From My Heart"


Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You've grown cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on
Take these chains from my heart and set me free.

Take these tears from my eyes and let me see
Just a spark of the love that used to be
If you love somebody new let me find a new love too
Take these chains from my heart and set me free.

Give my heart just a word of sympathy
Be as fair to my heart as you can be
Then if you no longer care for the love that's beating there
Take these chains from my heart and set me free.

Take these chains from my heart and set me free
You've grown cold and no longer care for me
All my faith in you is gone but the heartaches linger on
Take these chains from my heart and set me free...

"Talk Back Trembling Lips"

"Talk Back Trembling Lips"


Talk back trembling lips, shaky legs don't just stand there
Don't let her know she's gettin' through to you
Talk back trembling lips, burning eyes don't start crying
Heart don't let her know that you're breaking in two.

Everyday our love's a battle royal,
Seems that fighting's all we ever do
But if I let you know how much I love you
You'll do things to me you shouldn't do.

Talk back trembling lips, shaky legs don't just stand there
Don't let her know she's gettin' through to you
Talk back trembling lips, burning eyes don't start crying
Heart don't let her know that you're breaking in two.

Everytime you up and hurt my feelings
I pretend it couldn't matter less
I'm just hiding all of my emotions
Behind the broken heart I guess.

Talk back trembling lips, shaky legs don't just stand there
Don't let her know she's gettin' through to you
Talk back trembling lips, burning eyes don't start crying
Heart don't let her know that you're breaking in two.

Heart don't let her know that you're breaking in two...

"Talk To Me Lonesome Heart"

"Talk To Me Lonesome Heart"


Talk to me, oh lonesome heart
Help me thru this lonely night
Lie to me and tell me ev'rything's alright

Talk to me, oh lonesome heart
Help me thru my darkest gloom
Help me bring her mem'ry to this lonely room

Talk to me and let me cry the whole night thru
You have lost, but I've lost as much as you
So talk to me, oh lonesome heart
Help me thru this lonely night
Lie to me and tell me ev'rything's alright

Talk to me, oh lonesome heart
Talk about the love I miss
Talk to me about the lips I used to kiss

Tell me how she used to smile
Just before she said goodbye
Talk to me, oh lonesome heart, while I cry

Talk to me and let me cry the whole night thru
You have lost, yes, but I've lost as much as you
So talk to me, oh lonesome heart
Help me thru this lonely night
Lie to me and tell me ev'rything's alright...

"Talkin' About Jesus"

"Talkin' About Jesus"


There was a church just down the road
Where mom and dad they used to go
Carry us when we were young
Boy we had a lot to learn
Talking 'bout Jesus, talking 'bout Jesus
Folks would come from miles around
Spread their food up on the ground
Then turn thanks with the word of prayer
Thank the Lord that we were there
Talking 'bout Jesus, talking 'bout Jesus

Oh why can't we talk more about Jesus today?
Like we did in the country on the farm where I grew up?
Oh why can't we keep in mind that he died for us one time?
Don't live for the devil but live by the holy book

There was old John from down the road
He believed in saving souls
He went around the country preaching hard
They wouldn't let him in so he stood in the yard
Talking 'bout Jesus, talking 'bout Jesus
Now old John is dead and gone
But his spirit lingers on
Wiping the sweat up off his brow
I can still see him right now
Talking 'bout Jesus, talking 'bout Jesus

Oh why can't we talk more about Jesus today?
Like we did in the country on the farm where I grew up?
Oh why can't we keep in mind that he died for us one time?
Don't live for the devil but live by the holy book

Don't live for the devil but live by the holy book

"Tarnished Angel"

"Tarnished Angel"


Your halo is the neon
Your heart a jukebox song
Your heaven is a honky tonk
You love to live so wrong.

I know your not a changin'
As a saint you've gained no fame
My angels kinda tarnished
But I love, just the same.

Tarnished angel
From a backstreet bar
Tarnished angel
I want you just as you are.

Our worlds are strange and different
But love they says is blind
I'll try to live in your world
If you won't live in mine.

Tarnished angel
From a backstreet bar
Tarnished angel
I want you just as you are.

Our worlds are strangely different
But love they say is blind
I'll try to live in your world
If you won't live in mine...
