"A Soldier's King"

"A Soldier's King"



None seemed to notice the man beside the road
He was just a raged soldier out there in the cold
But he seemed to have a purpose only known to him
As he walked along the streets that night through the town of Bethlahem.

In his head he held a memory of all the wars he'd known
In his hand he clutched a medal for the bravery he'd shown
And the weight of every battle he caried in his heart
But his eyes were clear and searching for a manger in the dark.

Some are born to greatness, some are born to fall
Some are bound to be forgotten like they never lived at all
But we're all born to know Him and stand befor His light
Like the soldier who found his king tonight.

He had marched for politicians, served under their command
And he fought for all the causes that he did not understand
But it was something deep inside him now that led him on his way
With a single star to guide him to were the baby lay.

Some are born to greatness, some are born to fall
Some are bound to be forgotten like they never lived at all
But we're all born to know Him and stand befor His light
Like the soldier who found his king tonight.

He stood before the Son of God, come to pay our debt
He smiled up at the soldier that the world would soon forget
So he held out his medal and said this for you I bring
There he swore aligiance to the newborn baby King.

Some are born to greatness, some are born to fall
Some are bound to be forgotten like they never lived at all
But we're all born to know Him and stand befor His light
Like the soldier who found his king tonight...

"A Stranger In My Place"

"A Stranger In My Place"



I see the town where we were born,
I see the place we were raised,
I see all the things you wanted
That I never gave.

I see sadness, I see sorrow,
I see pain in your face,
But I just can't see
A stranger in my place.

I can see now where we quarrelled,
I can see now I was wrong,
I can see where you might weaken
When I wasn't strong.

I see mem'ries of a love gone bad
That time cannot erase,
But I just can't see
A stranger in my place.

No one seems to know you quite like I do,
No one knows the thigs that make you cry.
Looking back it seems I never showed you,
And now I lay alone and wonder why.

I can see now where you might grow tired
Of dreams that don't come true,
I can see where I have fallen short
Of the things I promised you.

I can see now through my tear filled eyes
No love on your face,
I must get used to seein'
Strangers in my place...

"Abraham Martin And John"

"Abraham Martin And John"



Has anybody her, seen my old friend Abraham,
Can you tell me where he's gone,
He freed a lotta people,
But it seems the good die young,
I just looked around, and he's gone.

Has anybody her, seen my old friend John,
Can you tell me where he's gone,
He freed a lotta people,
But it seems the good die young,
I just looked around, and he's gone.

Has anybody her, seen my old friend Martin,
Can you tell me where he's gone,
He freed a lotta people,
Ut it seems the good die young,
I just looked around, and he's gone.

Didn't you love the things they stood for,
Didn't they try to find some good for you and me,
And we'll be free,
Someday soon it's gonna be one day.

Has anybody here, seen my old friend Bobby,
Can you tell me where he's gone,
Thought I saw him walking up over the hill,
With Abraham, Martin and John.

Precious memories
How they linger
How they ever flood my soul
Then, the stillness of the midnight
Precious sacred scenes unfold

"After All (I Live My Life)"

"After All (I Live My Life)"



Well, here we are again
I guess it must be fate
We've tried it on our own
But deep inside we've known
We'd be back to set things straight
I still remember when your kiss was so brand new
Every memory repeats
Every step I take retreats
Every journey always brings me back to you

After all the stops and starts
We keep comin' back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After all that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be, forever you and me, after all

When love is truly right
(This time it's truly right)
It lives from year to year
It changes as it goes
Oh, and on the way it grows
But it never disappears

After all the stops and starts
We keep comin' back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After all that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be, forever you and me, after all

Always just beyond my touch
You know I needed you so much
After all, what else is livin' for?

After all the stops and starts
We keep comin' back to these two hearts
Two angels who've been rescued from the fall
After all that we've been through
It all comes down to me and you
I guess it's meant to be, forever you and me, after all

"After All This Time"

"After All This Time"



We used to think our love would be a fantasy
But things don't always turn out loud
There supposed to be
Hearts can break
And I won't surrender with so much at stake.

After all this time
Did you think I let you slip away from me
Girl, we've come too far
Just to turn our love into a memory.

Did you think that I can push you aside
All that we've been through
Me and you, never give a try
After all this time.

Easy to turn and walk away
When love goes wrong
Harder to stay and work it out
But if the love is strong
We must choose to hold on to something
We don't wanna lose.

After all this time ...

"Ain't No Sunshine"
(originally by Bill Withers)

"Ain't No Sunshine"
(originally by Bill Withers)



Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
It's not warm when she's away.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
And she's always gone too long.
Anytime she goes away.

Wonder this time where she's gone.
Wonder if she's gone to stay.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
And this house just ain't no home.
Anytime she goes away.

I know x 16
Gotta leave the young thing alone
There ain't no sunshine when she's gone

Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
Only darkness every day.
Ain't no sunshine when she's gone.
And this house just ain't no home.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.
Anytime she goes away.

"All God's Lonely Children"

"All God's Lonely Children"



A little baby's born
Daddy's up and gone
You see his mama cry
Don't you turn away
She's needing you today
To help her dry her eyes.

All God's lovely children
Sometimes lose their ways
All God's lovely children
Need your love today.

Met a little man
Reaching out his hand
He's reaching out for you
Won't you take his hand
Help him understand
And try to see him through.

All God's lovely children
Sometimes lose their ways
All God's lovely children
Need your love today.

People
People
People
People

Love my people
It's right in the steeple
It's in your heart and in your hands
Open up your heart
Reach out your hands
And then you'll begin to understand.

Why all God's lovely children
Sometimes lose their ways
All God's lovely children
Need your love today.

People.
People.
People.
People.
People.
People...

"All I Ever Need Is You"
(with Dottie West)

"All I Ever Need Is You"
(with Dottie West)



Sometimes when I'm down and alone
I feel just like a child with out a home
The love you give me keeps me hangin' on, honey
All I ever need is you

Your my first love, your my last
Your my future, your my past
Ohhh loving you is all I ask, honey
All I ever need is you

Winters come and then they go
And we watch the melting snow
Sure summer follows spring, all the things you do
Give me a reason to build my world around you

(World around you)

Some men follow rainbows I am told
Some men search for silver, some for gold
But I found my treasures in my soul
And all I ever need is you

Without love I'd never find the way
Through ups and downs of every single day
And I won't sleep at night until you say
Honey, all I ever need is you

La, La, La, La, La, La
The love you give me keeps me hangin' on
Honey, all I'll ever need is you

La, La, La, La, La, La
But I found my treasures in my soul
Honey, and all I ever need is you

La, La, La, La, La, La

"All I Need Is One"

"All I Need Is One"



Just one bible just one bed
I just need one roof over my head
Just one old pickup to get me home
One steady pay check to keep the lights turned on

Just one guitar that stays in tune
One shot too many once in a blue moon
One dashboard picture of an angel smile
Just one more reason to get an extra mile

And the dream that keeps me going
Is the love of one good woman
There is a million blessings under the sun
As long as she loves me all I need is one

Just one moment that lasts all night
Just one long kiss in early morning light
One cup of coffee and I am good to go
She says I love you baby thats all I got to know

And the dream that keeps me going
Is the love of one good woman
There is a million blessings under the sun
As long as she loves me all I need is one just one

And the dream that keeps me going
Is the love of one good woman
There is a million blessings under the sun
As long as she loves me (she loves me)
As long as she loves me all I need is one
All I need is one

"All My Life"

"All My Life"



Are you sure I haven't loved you somewhere before
In another time, another place, on some distant shore?

You know me so well, better than I know myself.
And you'll love me tonight
Like you've loved me all my life, all my life
And with the touch of your hand
You took me farther than I've never been
You'll love me like, you've loved me all my life.

Love like we made could have taken a lifetime to find
But you found the way to my heart in a moment of time
You know how to care just like you've always been there.
And you'll love me tonight
Like you've loved me all my life, all my life...
