"Soldier Of The Cross"

"Soldier Of The Cross"



Soldier of the cross soldier of the cross You carry the sort of fate
Soldier of the cross soldier of the cross You bring love to those who hate
You bring love to those who hate
And the pendulum swings side to side
Where you gonna run where you gonna hide
When he comes down only you can tell
What it's gonna be heaven or hell
He's a stranger in this valley where many a men met his grave
And the voices in the silence sing od the life he can save
But the river runs deep and the river is wide
How you gonna get to the other side
Pendulum swing only you can tell
You gotta let them choice heaven or hell
And the pendulum swings side to side
Where you gonna run where you gonna hide
Living on the line only you can tell
What it's gonna be heaven or hell
Soldier of the cross soldier of the cross
You carry the sort of fate
Soldier of the cross soldier of the cross
You bring love to those who hate
You bring love to those who hate
You bring love to those who hate
You bring love you bring love
You bring love you bring love
You bring love you bring love

"Solid Ground"

"Solid Ground"



One man built his house in the sand
Another put his house upon a rock
When the floods of tribulation came you can understand
Why one house remained and the other one did not.

So let's built our house on solid ground on a rock
Where we can live and love till death do us part
Leaning on each other standing on our vows
With this love in our hearts baby we're on solid ground.

Yeah we've got the high ground when troubled waters rise
Where we can lay back and watch the clouds roll by
As long as I've got you stormy skies can come around
Baby let the rain fall cause we're on solid ground.

So let's built our house on solid ground on a rock
Where we can live and love till death do us part
Leaning on each other standing on our vows
With this love in our hearts baby we're on solid ground.
So let's built our house on solid ground on a rock
Where we can live and love till death do us part
Leaning on each other standing on our vows
With this love in our hearts baby we're on solid ground...

"Somebody's Prayin'"

"Somebody's Prayin'"



Somebody's prayin, I can feel it
Somebody's prayin' for me
Mighty hands are guiding me
To protect what I can't see
Lord I believe, Lord I believe
That somebody's prayin', for me.

Angels are watchin', I can feel it
Angels are watchin' over me
There's many miles ahead 'til I get home
Still I'm safely kept before your thrown
'Cause Lord I believe, Lord I believe
Your angels are watchin' over me.

Well, I've walked through barren wilderness
When my pillow was a stone
And I've been through the darkest caverns
Where no light had ever shown.
Still I went on 'cause there was someone
Who was down on their knees
And Lord. I thank you for those people
Prayin' all this time for me.

Somebody's prayin', I can feel it
Somebody's prayin' for me
Mighty hands are guiding me
To protect me from what I can't see
Lord I believe, Lord I believe
Somebod's prayin' for me...

"Someday Soon"

"Someday Soon"


I watch every Sunday
Seems trouble just to get up, and barely make his way down to communion
Young man with the crooked walk, found a path that's straight and narrow
My lips, they make no sound, but my heart cries out to him

Someday soon, someday soon, we are going to see the Lord me and you
And every thing will be made new, we are going to see the Lord someday soon

Some 'bout this picture's broken, out of focus for a moment
A poor reflecting smoky glass as long as we are here
And ev'ry labored step we take, is one closer to our maker
And I know there'll be a time it'll all come clear

Someday soon, someday soon, we are going to see the Lord me and you
And ev'ry thing will be made new, we are going to see the Lord someday soon

[Guitar Solo:]

I had a dream we were all in heaven, sittin' round this great big table
The pieces of the beautiful puzzle come together

Someday soon, someday soon, we are going to see the Lord me and you
And ev'ry thing will be made new, we are going to see the Lord
Someday soon, someday soon, we are going to see the Lord me and you
And ev'ry thing will be made new, we are going to see the Lord someday soon

"Somehow Tonight"

"Somehow Tonight"



Somehow tonight I feel lonely, my darlin'
Somehow tonight I feel blue
Somehow tonight these tears of mine keep falling
Come back, sweetheart, and be true.

I thought you're love was something I could treasure
To brighten my pathway through the years
Now all I can see is darkness in the future
That's why I long to have you near.

Somehow tonight I feel lonely, my darlin'
Somehow tonight I feel blue
Somehow tonight these tears of mine keep falling
Come back, sweetheart, and be true.

I never knew what loneliness meant, darlin'
Until I watched you walk away
I long to hear you whisper that you love me
I can't forget our happy days.

Somehow tonight I feel lonely, my darlin'
Somehow tonight I feel blue
Somehow tonight these tears of mine keep falling
Come back, sweetheart, and be true...

"Something In My Heart"

"Something In My Heart"



Well, I thought I was over you and that my heart was free
I felt like those old memories had finally let me be
So I picked up the phone to call a girl that I once knew
But when she said "Hi" well girl you know I wished that it was you.

'Cause something in my heart sure makes it hard to love again
Something 'bout the way you broke it just won't seem to mend
Something in my mind tells me your memory has to end
'Cause something in my heart sure makes it hard to love again.

It seem like only yesterday you promised you'd be mine
And I sure thought I heard you say until the end of time
Well, I guess I was wrong to think your love for me was true
So here I am all broken hearted all because of you...

"Southern Moon"

"Southern Moon"



Oh, I know she is waitin' by her window tonight
In the cabin at the end of the lane
Where the roses bloom in the sweet month of June
Tell my darlin, I'll be there very soon.

Go tell my sweetheart I'm lonely tonight
Give her my token of love
Go tell her please do, that my heart is still true
Drift along drift along southern moon.

Drift along southern moon up in heaven on high
As the stars they twinkle in the sky
Rest your weary head on a snow white cloud
As we go drifting by...

"Spread A Little Love Around"

"Spread A Little Love Around"



Sometimes this crazy world can make us all feel bad
I sit and watch the news and just get mad
We need to stop and smell the roses in the ground
So get out today, you spread a little love around

Talk to a neighbor, volunteer a favor
Help out a stranger when his car's broke down
Give your wife a kissin', when your kids talk, listen
It makes a lovely sound, spread a little love around

You know it don't take much to make somebody's day
A kind word of tender touch goes a long way
We can change the whole world if we start in our hometown
So get out today, you spread a little love around

Tell your mom you love her, bear hug your brother
Treat your sister to a night out on the town
Throw the ball for rover, wrestle in the clover
Put a smile on that old hound, spread a little love around

Slap your sweetheart's fanny, tickle on old granny
Dance with the kids and act just like a clown
A little tiny kiss and hug, well everybody needs that stuff
Turn a frown upside down, spread a little love around
When this world gets you down, spread a little love around

"Straight To You"

"Straight To You"



I have stumbled and I have complained on this rough and rocky road
I've been humbled caught out in the rain and it's chilled me to the bone
Now I've seen my dreams scatter like leaves lost in the wind
And if I could do it over I'd go through it all again
Cause every path I haven't chosen every heart that wasn't true
Every door that wouldn't open led me straight to you
I've been lonely I've held on to love I was never meant to have
No one told me till I let go love would stay beyond my grasp
Well it took a little heartache and it took a lot of time
But the love I didn't look for is the best I'll ever find
Cause every path I haven't chosen...
Cause every path I haven't chosen...
Every hour I've felt forsaken every storm I've struggled through
Every chance I've ever taken led me straight to you
Straight to you

"Sweet Temptation"

"Sweet Temptation"



Sweet temptation, that's what you are to me.
That's what you'll always be, it seems.
Ah, sweet temptation, you smile and pass me by.
But still you occupy my dreams.

Baby, I've got a lot of hidden charms.
You'd find if you'd just hold me in your arms.
But you're just sweet temptation, a diamond in the rough.
You make it awful tough on me.

Ah, you do, honey.

Ah, sweet temptation, the most delicious peach,
Is always out of reach, they say.
Ah, sweet temptation, you're just a little flirt, squirt.
You know, you might get hurt that way.

Baby, someday you'll get a big surprise.
Find someone who'll make you realise,
That you're just sweet temptation, a diamond in the rough.
You make it awful tough on me.

What do you think, Mutt?

Baby, someday you'll get a big surprise.
Find someone who'll make you realise,
That you're just sweet temptation, a diamond in the rough.
You make it awful tough for me.

Play it boys.

Ah, sweet temptation, a diamond in the rough.
You make it awful tough for me...
