CAUSE WHEN I SEE YA' YOU BETER NOT BE DIPPIN' BROTHA.

[DARKCHILD RAP:] EVERYWHERE WE GO, WE SAY WE MOVE TO MUCH, WE DO TO MUCH,

AIN'T NO STOPPIN' WHAT I'M DOIN' WHEN THE SPIRIT MOVIN'.
DON'T BE HATIN' WHAT I'M DOIN, I'M THE VESSEL HE'S USIN'.
EVERYWHERE I BE THEY TRY TO JUDGE ME, THEY TRY TO SHAKE ME, THEY TRY TO BUDGE ME,
BUT THEY CAN'T BREAK ME, CAUSE I'M DOWN WITH CHRIST.

"Riverside"

"Riverside"


It's Friday and my bills are due
My 3 month old baby need some shoes
Can you feel what I'm going through
Clock on the wall keeps tickin' tockin'
No stoppin' and somebody's knocking
On the do tellin' me to go
Brother I can't take no mo
So with my knees I hit the flo'
And say help me Jesus, help me Jesus

Let's go down by the riverside
Leave your problems all behind
You can rest troubled minds
Down by the riverside

If I concentrate on all the bad
And all the things I wish I had
How can the dark clouds ever pass
Weeping may endure for a night
But joy comes in the morning light
Gotta keep the spirit right
So no matter what the people say
Ain't nobody taking this joy away
In spite of everything I've been through I can say
Thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus, Thank you Jesus

Let's go down by the riverside
Leave your problems all behind
You can rest troubled minds
Down by the riverside
[3 times]

Well, Well, Well

There's a blessin' in the water ya'll
By the riverside, Say what now
There's a healin' in the water
By the riverside, Say what now

"Road Trip"

"Road Trip"


1, 2, 3
Pack a smile, cause this road won't be easy
Doubt will come, believe me
Sometimes you'll wonder if it's alright
Hold on tight, it's about to be amazing
When you see what God is making
I can't wait for you to tell me that it's alright

Travel light and leave room for tomorrow, expect delays and sorrow,
Avoid left turns, don't forget what's right
Pray always, listen to that voice above you
Only let folk ride that love you, see you've come too far to not arrive on time

But every time that you've been through
For His glory, God was using you
See it's only in the darkest night
That you really see the stars shine bright

So pack a smile, cause this road won't be easy
Doubt will come, believe me
Sometimes you'll wonder if it's alright
Hold on tight, it's about to be amazing
When you see what God is making
I can't wait for you to tell me that it's alright

See I know, dreams can take forever
Especially in stormy weather
It's hard to see where the road will end
But good news, your destination is determined
It's selected and predestined
Ain't it good to know you win before you begin?

But every time that you've been through
For His glory, God was using you
See it's only in the darkest night
That you really see the stars shine bright
That you really see the stars shine bright

So pack a smile, cause this road won't be easy
Doubt will come, believe me
Sometimes you'll wonder if it's alright
Hold on tight, it's about to be amazing
When you see what God is making
I can't wait for you to tell me that it's alright

It's alright, it's alright
It's alright

The rear view mirror is smaller
Because where ya been,
You're only supposed to look back at it real quick
Cause where you're going is a lot greater

(See) I get tired of runnin', but it's alright
Cause I see what's comin', and it's alright
I wanted to give up, some days I tried
But your hand wouldn't let me, and now I'm alright

"Savior More Than Life"

"Savior More Than Life"


[CHORUS]
Savior, more than life to me
You are the joy and air I breathe
No other lover shall there be
That makes my spirit sing
Hold me close don't let me go
You're the only friend I'll ever know
That is why I love You so
More than life to me
More than life to me

More, more

I've been searchin' and You are
More, more, more
Yes, You are

You are more than life to me
Yes, You are
That is why I love You so
More than life to me

"Silent Night"

"Silent Night"



It was a silent night, a holy nitht
all is calm and all so bright
round young virgin, mother and chlid
holy infant so tender and mild

sleep in heavenly, o so heavenly
sleep in heavenly peace
sleep in heavenly peace

silent night, holy night
sheperds quake oh at the sight

glory streaming from heaven above
all the angels sing haleluja

christ the king is born, born
christ the king is born

"Silver And Gold"

"Silver And Gold"



Silver and gold
Silver and gold
I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold
No fame or fortune
Nor riches untold
I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold

Don't give me a mansion
on top of the hill
Don't give me the world
with a shallow thrill
But just give me a saviour
My life He can hold
I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold

I woke up this morning
Feeling kind of down
I called on my best friend
She could not be found
But I called on Jesus
My life He can hold
I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold

For unto us a child is born
A son is given
I'd rather have Jesus
What profits a man to gain the whole world and lose His soul
I'd rather have Jesus
For there's no other name given under heaven
Whereby we must be saved
I'd rather have Jesus
He's the only one that can save you
I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold

"Something About The Name Jesus Pt. 2"
(feat. Rance Allen, Marvin Winans, John P. Kee & Isaac Carree)



Gather 'round and let me tell you 'bout Jesus
See this world, they don't know nothing 'bout Jesus
You can try but there's nobody like Jesus
Son of man, Son of God, Jesus

Springtime, summer or fall
Wherever you are, you can just call
The sweetest name that will never change is
Jesus, Jesus

In the world, things have changed
Look around, all I see is pain
And through it all one thing's the same
I still believe the power of Your name

I was sick deep in my soul
I needed someone to make me whole
I cried Jesus take control
You see, I'm not crazy and I want ya'll to know

Gather 'round and let me tell you 'bout Jesus
See this world, they don't know nothing 'bout Jesus
You can try but there's nobody like Jesus
Son of man, Son of God, Jesus

Springtime, summer or fall
Wherever you are, you can just call
The sweetest name that will never change is
Jesus, Jesus

You've given up and walked away
God's not real, some people say
But when troubles come and the sky is gray
Everybody gets real deep now and wants to pray

But why wait 'til your money's gone?
Lose your house, job and you're all alone
Call His name and it won't be long
'Til you feel that fire that is shut up in your bones

And this is what we hear
Through the dark and through our fears
And even though the world may change
It is still the sweetest name

Gather 'round and let me tell you 'bout Jesus
See this world, they don't know nothing 'bout Jesus
You can try but there's nobody like Jesus
Son of man, Son of God, Jesus

Springtime, summer or fall
Wherever you are, you can just call
The sweetest name that will never change is
It is the love between Him and I

Jesus
(Jesus)
The wounded lamb
(Jesus)
The ancient of days
(Jesus)
He's the great I Am

(Jesus)
Balm in Gilliad
(Jesus)
My personal cornerstone
(Jesus)
God in the flesh, now seated upon His throne

(Ain't nobody like)
Jehovah Shalom
(Jesus)
He is my peace
(Jesus)
Jehovah Jireh
(Jesus)
'Cause He's providing for me
(Jesus)

When I'm in trouble
(Jesus)
'Bout to lose my mind
(Jesus)
I call on Jesus
And He steps in on time

(Ain't nobody like)
There is a name I love to hear
(Jesus)
Soothes my doubts
(Jesus)
Calms my fears
(Jesus)

Jesus
(Jesus)
My Sovereign King
(Jesus)
My soul rejoices and sings

Gather 'round and let me tell you 'bout Jesus
See this world, they don't know nothing 'bout Jesus
You can try but there's nobody like Jesus
