"It's Not For Me To Understand"

"It's Not For Me To Understand"


I passed a home the other day
The yard was filled with kids at play
And on the sidewalk of this home
A little boy stood all alone
His smiling face was sweet and kind
But I could see the boy was blind
He listened to the children play
I bowed my head and there I prayed
Dear Lord above why must this be
And then these words came down to me
After all you're just a man
And it's not for you to understand
It's not for you to reason why
You too are blind without my eyes
So question not what I command
Cause it's not for you to understand

[steel]

Now when I pray my prayer is one
I pray his will not mine be done
After all I'm just a man
And it's not for me to understand

"Jingle Bells"

"Jingle Bells"



Dashing through the snow
On a one-horse open sleigh,
Over the fields we go,
Laughing all the way;
Bells on bob-tail ring,
Making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing
A sleighing song tonight
Jingle bells, jingle bells,
Jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh

A day or two ago,
I thought I'd take a ride,
And soon Miss Fanny Bright
Was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank;
Misfortune seemed his lot;
He got into a drifted bank,
And we, we got upsot.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Jingle all the way!
What fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

A day or two ago,
The story I must tell
I went out on the snow
And on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by
In a one-horse open sleigh,
He laughed as there
I sprawling lie,
But quickly drove away.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Jingle all the way!
What fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

Now the ground is white
Go it while you're young,
Take the girls tonight
And sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bob-tailed bay
Two-forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh
And crack! you'll take the lead.
Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells,
Jingle all the way!
What fun it is to ride
In a one-horse open sleigh.

"Joy To The World"

"Joy To The World"



Joy to the world! The Lord is come.
Let earth receive her King
Let every heart
Prepare Him room
And Saints and angels sing
And Saints and angels sing
And Saints and Saints and angels sing

Joy to the world, the Saviour reigns
Let Saints their songs employ
While fields and floods
Rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat the sounding joy
Repeat, Repeat, the sounding joy

Joy to the world with truth and grace
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness
And wonders of His love
And wonders of His love
And wonders and wonders of His love

No more will sin and sorrow grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He'll come and make the blessings flow
Far as the curse was found,
Far as the curse was found,
Far as, far as the curse was found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And gives to nations proof
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love;
And wonders of His love;
And wonders, wonders of His love.

Rejoice! Rejoice in the Most High,
While Israel spreads abroad
Like stars that glitter in the sky,
And ever worship God,
And ever worship God,
And ever, and ever worship God.

"Just Breathe"
(feat. Lukas Nelson)
(originally by Pearl Jam)



Yes I understand, that every life must end, uh-huh
As we sit alone, I know someday we must go, uh-huh

Oh I’m a lucky man to count on both hands the ones I love
Some folks just have one, yeah, others, they’ve got none.

Stay with me
Let’s just breathe

Practiced on my sins, never gonna let you win, uh-huh
Under everything, just another human being, uh-huh

I don’t want to hurt
There’s so much in this world to make me believe

Stay with me
All I see

Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh if I didn’t I’m a fool you see
No one knows this more than me
But I come clean

I wonder everyday, as I look upon your face, uh-huh
Everything you gave and nothing you would take, uh-huh
Nothing you would take, everything you gave

Did I say that I need you?
Did I say that I want you?
Oh if I didn’t I’m a fool you see
No one knows this more than me
But I come clean

Nothing you would take, everything you gave
Love you till I die, meet you on the other side

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

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



Woke up this mornin' with the sundown shinin' in
Found my mind in a brown paper bag again
Tripped on a cloud and fell eight miles high
Tore my mind on a jagged sky
And I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
Lord, Lord, Lord, what condition my condition was in

I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and followed it in
Met myself crawlin' out as I was crawlin' in
I woke up so tight I said I'd never unwind
I saw so much that it broke my mind
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
Lord, Lord, Lord, what condition my condition was in

Somebody painted April fool in big black letters on a dead end sign
I had my foot on the gas, when I left the road it blew out my mind
Eight miles out of Memphis, Lord, I got no spare
Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere
I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in
Lord, Lord, Lord, what condition my condition was in
What condition my condition was in

"Just One Love"

"Just One Love"


Just one love that shines for me
Shines a light that I can see
Just one love shines for me tonight
Just one love shines for me tonight
Just look at all those stars up in the sky

The wind is blowing through the trees
Weather that's inside of me
Makes a sound that follows me around
It makes a sound haunting me to hear
It blows me round and round when you are near
Just one love...

[guitar]

Well, babe, as far as I can see
Stars are what they want to be
They want to be the one to make you smile
Just a little love of your heart is all they need
Just a little of your love could be for me
Just one love...
Just look at all those stars up in the sky

"Just Out Of Reach"

"Just Out Of Reach"


Love that runs away from me dreams that just won't let me be
Blues that keep on bothering me chains that just won't set me free
Too far away from you and all your charms just out of reach of my two empty arms
Each night in dreams I see your face mem'ries time cannot erase
Then I awake and find you're gone and I'm so blue and all alone
So far away from you and all your charms just out of reach of my two empty arms
[keyboards - piano - strings]
That lonesome feeling all the time knowing you could not be mine
Dreams that hurt me in my sleep vows that we could never keep
So far away from you and all your charms just out of reach of my two empty arms

"Kansas City"
(performed with Susan Tedeschi)



I'm going to Kansas City, baby
Kansas City, here I come
I'm going to Kansas City, baby
Kansas City, here I come
They got some mighty pretty women there
And I'm gonna get me one

I'm gonna be standin' on the corner
The corner of 12th Street and Vine
I'm gonna be standin' on the corner
The corner of 12th Street and Vine
With my Kansas City, baby
And a jug of that Kansas City wine

Well I might take a boat
I might take a train
But if I have to walk you know
I'm going there just the same

I'm going to Kansas City, baby
Kansas City, here I come
They got some mighty pretty women there
And I'm gonna get me one
They got some mighty pretty women there
And I'm gonna get me one

"Keep Me From Blowing Away"

"Keep Me From Blowing Away"



Well I spent my whole lifetime
In a world where the sunshine
Finds excuses for not hangin' 'round
I squandered emotions
On the slightest of notions
And the first easy loving I found
But soon all the good times
The gay times and play times
Like colors run together and fade
Oh Lord if you hear me
Touch me and hold me
And keep me from blowing away

There's times when I trembled
When my mind remembered
The days that just crumbled away
With nothing to show
But these lines that I know
Are beginning to show in my face

Oh Lord if you're listening
I know I'm no Christian
And I ain't got much coming to me
So send down some sunshine
Throw out your lifeline
And keep me from blowing away

Oh Lord if you hear me
Touch me and hold me
And keep me from blowing away

"Kneel At The Feet Of Jesus"

"Kneel At The Feet Of Jesus"


Well I guess I been hanging around too long it's just about time I was moving along
But I'm gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
And don't you worry and don't you moan it's just about time I was moving along
But I'm gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
I'm gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
I'm a gonna leave this sinful world before the dawning
Don't you worry and don't you moan it's just about time I was moving along
I'm gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
[piano]
And when I'm dead and you carry me away
Don't you bury me deep cause I ain't gonna stay
I'm gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
Just a little bit of dirt and a little bit of gravel
Don't you weigh me down cause you know I gotta travel
I'm gonna kneel at the feet of Jesus in the morning
I'm gonna kneel at the feet...
(I'm gonna kneel at the feet...)
