"Our King"

"Our King"


About a thousand years before it came to pass it was said that it would be
A virgin would be found to be with child and give birth to our King
And they laid Him in a manger in the town of Bethlehem
Born there in a stable 'cause there was no room in the Inn

And when He grew to be a man He began to teach
He came just for you and me to set the captives free
And He gladly gave His life for us, without one word He died
So we could live forever in Heaven by His side

And He gladly gave his life for us, without one word He died
So we could live forever in Heaven by His side

And all He asks of you and me is simply to believe
That baby boy in Bethlehem truly was our King

"Out Of My Bones"

"Out Of My Bones"


I'm in need of a remedy
To cure me from loving you
It may sound a little extreme
But I'll do what I have to do
Bury your jacket in my backyard
Carry your picture in my shoe
And keep walkin' till the hurting stops
Keep walkin' till my temperature drops
Keep walkin' until the fever is gone
And you're out of my bones

I'm in need of medicine
Something strong that will work real fast
That I can take to fortify me
To keep my arms from taking you back
Chase that ghost out from under my bed
Still daylight till dawn
Till you're out of my bones

Sweet amnesia
Come and set me free
I just need to
Get you out of me

Bury your jacket in my backyard
Carry your picture in my shoe
And keep walkin' till the hurting stops
Keep walkin' till my temperature drops
Keep walkin' until the fever is gone
And you're out of my bones
You're out of my bones

"Paniolo Country"

"Paniolo Country"


Places I have been, cities I have seen,
With concrete canyons rising from the ground.
Miles and miles of asphalt trail,
Stretch across the land, stampeding metal ponies
Leaving smoke along the way.

Going back to Paniolo county,
Stars at night no city lights.
Paniolo country, my home on the range.

I made up my mind, won't waste any time
Going back to where the clouds ride high.
Take my word its pretty, not like the great big city
The winds still bring cool clear mountian air.

Going back to paniolo country
Rain drops fall, the grass grows tall
Paniolo county, my home on the range.

Places I have been, cities I have seen,
With concrete canyons rising from the ground.
Miles and miles of asphalt trail,
Stretch across a land, stampeding metal ponies
Leaving smoke along the way...

Going back to Paniolo county,
Stars at night no city lights.
Paniolo country, my home on the range

Paniolo county, Rain drops fall, the grass grows tall
Paniolo county, my home on the range.

Paniolo country, my home on the range...

"Peace In The Valley"

"Peace In The Valley"


Well, I'm tired and so weary
But I must go along
Till the Lord comes and calls me away
Where the morning's so bright
And the Lamb is the light
And the night, night is as fair as the day.

There will be peace in the valley
For me some day
There will be peace in the valley
For me, Oh Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness
No sorrow, no trouble I see
There will be peace
In the valley for me.

Well, the flowers will be blooming
And the grass will be green
And the skies will be clear and serene
Where the sun ever beams
In this valley of dreams
And no cloud will be seen.

There will be peace in the valley
For me some day
There will be peace in the valley
For me, Oh Lord. I pray
There'll be no sadness
No sorrow, no trouble I see
There will be peace
In the valley for me.

Well, the bear will be gentle
And the wolf will be tame
And the lion shall lay down
By the lamb, oh
And the beasts from the wild
Shall be led by a child
And I'll be changed,
Changed from this creature that I am.

There will be peace in the valley
For me some day
There will be peace in the valley
For me, Oh Lord I pray
There'll be no sadness
No sorrow, no trouble I see
There will be peace
In the valley for me

"Pennies From Heaven"
(originally by Bing Crosby)

"Pennies From Heaven"
(originally by Bing Crosby)



A long time ago
A million years BC
The best things in life
Were absolutely free

But no one appreciated
A sky that was always blue
And no one congratulated
A moon that was always new

So it was planned that they would vanish now and them
And you must pay before you get them back again
That's what storms were made for
And you shouldn't be afraid for

Every time it rains, it rains
Pennies from Heaven
Don't you know each cloud contains
Pennies from Heaven

You'll find your fortune falling
All over town
Be sure that your umbrella
Is upside down

Trade them for a package of
Sunshine and flowers
If you want the things you love
You must have showers

So when you hear it thunder
Don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from Heaven
For you and me

You must have showers
So when you hear it thunder
Don't run under a tree
There'll be pennies from Heaven
For you and me

"Pick Up The Oars And Row"

"Pick Up The Oars And Row"


What good does it do to hold onto
The anger deep in your heart
You're the only one that it's hurting
You're the one that it's tearing apart
I'm sorry that he broke your heart girl
But it's time to let it go

Sometimes love is a river of tears so pick up the oars and row

He shattered your expectations
He broke all his promises too
With his little white lies he looked in your eyes
And made you believe they were true
Aw but this ain't the final curtain
Girl it's time to get on the show

Sometimes love is a river of tears so pick up the oars and row

It's been far too long now
Since I've seen your smile
Your bitterness don't look good on you
And self pity just ain't your style
Sooner or later you know you've got to play the card you've drawn
It's all up to you
You can stay blue or you can move on

Ain't it hard when you discover
Things ain't what you thought they would be
When all of your best played plans
Hit the wall of reality
Still all in all it's a good life
But it sure can be painful I know

Sometimes love is a river of tears pick up the oars and row
Sometimes love is a river of tears so pick up the oars and go

"Point Of Light"

"Point Of Light"


There's a point when you cannot walk away
There's a darkness that everyone must face
There are heroes whose names we never hear

When you have to stand up straight and tall and mean the words you say
It wants to take what's good and fair and lay it all to waste
A dedicated army of quiet volunteers

There's a point you must decide just to do it 'cause it's right
And that darkness covers everything in sight
Reaching out to feed the hungry reaching out to save the land

That's when you become a point of light
Until it meets a single point of light
Reaching out to their fellow men.

All it takes is a point of light a ray of hope in the darkest night.
If you see what's wrong and you try to make it right you will be a point of light.

There are dreamers who are making dreams come true
Taking time to teach the children there's nothing they can't do.
Giving shelter to the homeless giving hope to those without.
Isn't that what this land's all about.
One by one form the mountains to the sea points of light
Are calling out to you and me

All it takes is a point of light a ray of hope in the darkest night.
If you see what's wrong and you try to make it right
You will be a point of light.

"Pray For The Fish"

"Pray For The Fish"


Everybody gathered where the river runs wider
At the edge of town
To see that Eddie Lee Vaughn baptism
Was really gonna go down
Folks bet their hard earned money
That water wouldn't change a thing
They set the odds at a hundred to one
His soul wouldn't never come clean
Then the preacher said
People take a moment or two
There's something we need to do

Pray for the dish
They won't know what's coming
When the sin starts rolling off the likes of him
Lord be with em, they ain't done nothin'
Please won't you leave them just a little bit 'a room to swim
Pray for the fish

Well the preacher ducked him under
That cool clear water
Then he did it again
Eddie came up yelling
Lord in Heaven Hallalujah!
I'm a brand new man
Well the water got to bubbling
Sky got to rumbling
And the thunder backed up the choir
The fish started jumpin'
It was like they was swimmin'
In a lake of fire
Then Eddie's momma stepped out of the crowd
And started yelling out loud
Pray for the dish
They won't know what's coming
When the sin starts rolling off the likes of him
Lord be with em, they ain't done nothin'
Please won't you leave them just a little bit 'a room to swim
Pray for the fish

He said everybody cross your fingers
Fold your hands
Pray for Ole Eddie
But before we say amen
Pray for the fish

Lord be with em, they ain't done nothin'
Please won't you leave them just a little bit 'a room to swim
Pray for the fish
Lord pray for the fish

"Precious Lord, Take My Hand"

"Precious Lord, Take My Hand"


Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, let me stand
I am tired, I am weak, I am worn
Through the storm, through the night
Lead me on to the light

Take my hand, precious Lord
Lead me home
When my way grows drear
Precious Lord, linger near
When my life is almost gone
Hear my cry, hear my call
Hold my hand lest I fall

When the darkness appears
And the night draws near
And the day is past and gone
At the river I stand
Guide my feet, hold my hand

"Precious Memories"

"Precious Memories"


Precious memories, unseen angels
From somewhere to my soul
How they linger ever near me
And the sacred scenes unfold

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

Precious father, loving mother
Fly across the lonely years
And old home scenes of my childhood
In font memory appear

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

As I travel on life's pathway
Know not what the years may hold
As I ponder hope grows fonder
Precious memories flood my soul

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