"It's The Messiah"

"It's The Messiah"



It must have been something
Being born in a manger
With the sheep from the feilds
And stars shining over your head.

It must have been something
Seeing three wise men
On their knees before a newborn
With their eyes all aglow.

'Cause in their hearts they know

It's the Messiah
He's come at last
It's the Messiah
He's come at last.

It must have been something
Speaking the word of your Father
With the promise of life
And peace forever.

It must have been something
Walking the streets of Jeruselem
With the sins of the world
The innosence of a lamb.

But soon everone will know.

It's the Messiah
He's come at last
It's the Messiah
He's with us at last...

"I’ll Fly Away"
(feat. The Whites)

"I’ll Fly Away"
(feat. The Whites)


Some glad morning when this life is over
I'll fly away
To a home on God's celestial shore
I'll fly away

I'll fly away O Glory
I'll fly away
When I die Hallelujah bye and bye
I'll fly away

When the shadows of this life are gone
I'll fly away
Like a bird from prison bars has flown
I'll fly away

I'll fly away O Glory
I'll fly away
When I die Hallelujah bye and bye
I'll fly away

Just a few more weary days and then
I'll fly away
To a land where joy shall never end
I'll fly away

O I'll fly away O Glory
I'll fly away
When I die Hallelujah bye and bye
I'll fly away
When I die Hallelujah bye and bye
I'll fly away

"Joy To The World"

"Joy To The World"



Jeremiah was a bullfrog
Was a good friend of mine
I never understood a single word he said
But I helped him a-drink his wine
And he always had some mighty fine wine
Singing

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

If I were the king of the world
Tell you what I'd do
I'd throw away the cars and the bars and the war
Make sweet love to you
Sing it now

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

You know I love the ladies
Love to have my fun
I'm a high life flyer and a rainbow rider
A straight shooting son-of-a-gun (oh yeah)
I said a straight shooting son-of-a-gun

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the world
Joy to you and me

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls now
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

I wanna tell you
Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls
Joy to the fishes in the deep blue sea
Joy to you and me

Joy to the world
All the boys and girls

"Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)"

"Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)"



(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)

I woke up this mornin' with the sundown shinin' in
I found my mind in a brown paper bag within
I tripped on a cloud and fell-a eight miles high
I tore my mind on a jagged sky
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)

I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and then I followed it in
I watched myself crawlin' out as I was a-crawlin' in
I got up so tight I couldn't unwind
I saw so much I broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

(Yeah, yeah, oh-yeah, what condition my condition was in)

Someone painted "April Fool" in big black letters on a "Dead End" sign
I had my foot on the gas as I left the road and blew out my mind
Eight miles outta Memphis and I got no spare
Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in

I said I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
Yeah yeah oh-yeah

"Just Remember You're My Sunshine"

"Just Remember You're My Sunshine"



Just remember you're my sunshine
When I'm with you I don't feel any pain
Just remember that I love you
Even if I cannot be your man.

I'm not leaving you forever
But I got business farther down the line
You got your troubles
Baby, I got mine.

Hold on, everything will be alright
Hold on, I got to have a little more time
Hold on and together we will find
All the answers, all we need is time now.

Just remember that I love you
When you got no one to hold your hand
Yes you know I'll be back home
Just as soon, just as soon as I can.

Hold on, everything will be alright
Hold on, I got to have a little more time
Hold on and together we will find
All the answers, all we need is time now...

"Just The Thought Of Losing You"

"Just The Thought Of Losing You"



Two different worlds, somehow
Found a way to come together
Moving so close until now
When we find ourselves alone
So it's one more lonely night
I tried to feel like it was over

But just the thought of losing you
And the emptiness is more than I can take
Living without loving you
My senses all break down
Girl I'm lost at just the thought
Of losing you

All of my life, no one else
Ever meant enough to hold me
I've been afraid of myself
For the way I've needed you
You've been waiting much too long I know
No I don't need to think it over

Through the tears you stand beside me
It hurts too much to think of you leaving me

Just the thought of losing you
And the emptiness
Is more than I can take
Just the thought of losing you
And I close my eyes
I can't see it end this way

Just the thought of losing you

"Kentucky Homemade Christmas"

"Kentucky Homemade Christmas"



They shut down the mine last summer, we're gettin' by on welfare
It's Christmas Eve, I'm walkin' home, not a dollar to my name
Night is almost on me, a night I'm almost dreading
No store bought gifts to open, but there'll be Christmas just the same.

It's just another homemade Christmas in Kentucky
Just odds and ends I fashioned with my heart and with my hands
It's just another homemade Christmas in Kentucky
Our fine and fancy homemade love, God's precious gift from up above
Make up the homemade Christmas of this poor Kentucky man.

There's a brand new Barlow knife with a shiny wooden handle
Gleamin' in the window down at Galen Johnson's store
My wide eyed little Billy Boy, his face pressed to the window
Too young for understandin' what it means to be so poor.

It's just another homemade Christmas in Kentucky
Just odds and ends I fashioned with my heart and with my hands
It's just another homemade Christmas in Kentucky
Our fine and fancy homemade love, God's precious gift from up above
Make up the homemade Christmas of this poor Kentucky man.

Little Linda ain't no baby, hell she turns thirteen in April
She's been dreamin' about that dolly in the window for half her life
She's old enough to realize that it ain't never comin'
I'd damn near rob a bank to get that doll and Billy's knife.

It's just another homemade Christmas in Kentucky
Just odds and ends I fashioned with my heart and with my hands
It's just another homemade Christmas in Kentucky
Our fine and fancy homemade love, God's precious gift from up above
Make up the homemade Christmas of this poor Kentucky man.

"Kids"

"Kids"



Kids, kids, Christmas is for kids
Look around and you will see
Kids from one to ninety-three
Laughin', lovin' life and bein' kids.

Kids, kids, Christmas is for kids
Kids like you and little brother
Aunts and uncles, dads and mothers
Grandma, grandpa an' all the other kids.

Daddy runs the 'lectric train
While all the children wait in vain
To take their turn
At playin' engineer.
Grandpa catches grandma's cheek
And all the family sneaks a peak
And suddenly
Their wrinkles disappear.

Take a look at Betty Joe
Underneath the mistletoe
Pretending that
She doesn't know it's there.
And in the front yard Uncle Mike
Just fell off brother's brand new bike
There's Christmas cheer
And laughter everywhere.

Kids (kids), kids (kids)
Christmas is for kids
Christmas time is here again
And now it's when the fun begins
This time of year we all turn into kids...

"King Of Oak Street"

"King Of Oak Street"



Like a leaf caught in the wind he drifted a while
With no purpose or direction too his life
He tried to get himself together and pacify his mind
And forget about the things he left behind.

The cryin' woman standing helpless in his door
With a two month old baby in her arms
His little black book laying torn up on the floor
And God only knows he never meant to do her wrong.

A careless weekend on the other side of town
Has torn the king of Oak Street's Castle down
And all week long he's tried to call her but she won't let him explain
Now Sunday morning finds him walking in the rain.

He sits down in a phone booth and he prays
That she'll forgive him and she'll believe he's changed his ways
With shaking hand he deposits his last dime
And he's still praying that she won't hang up this time.

Then the sweetest voice he's ever heard says hello
Breakfast's almost ready baby, come on home
I've thought the whole thing over and I think I understand
That the king of Oak Street is just an ordinary man.

I've thought the whole thing over and I think I understand
That the king of Oak Street is just an ordinary man...

"Lady"

"Lady"



Lady, I'm your knight in shining armor and I love you
You have made me what I am and I am yours
My love, there's so many ways I want to say I love you
Let me hold you in my arms forever more

You have gone and made me such a fool
I'm so lost in your love
And oh, we belong together
Won't you believe in my song

Lady, for so many years I thought I'd never find you
You have come into my life and made me whole
Forever let me wake to see you each and every morning
Let me hear you whisper softly in my ear

In my eyes I see no one else but you
There's no other love like our love
And yes, oh yes, I'll always want you near me
I've waited for you for so long

Lady, your love's the only love I need
And beside me is where I want you to be
'Cause, my love, there's somethin' I want you to know
You're the love of my life, you're my lady
