My love is You (that's You).
My peace is You (oh it's You).

There is none like You,

There is none like You,

'cause You're everything.
I will sing Your praises,

and seems your world is falling apart.

A LONG TIME AGO, ONE DARK NIGHT
THERE WAS A STAR IN THE EAST SHINING BRIGHT
SHEPHERDS SITTING OUT ON A HILL
WATCHING THERE, LYING STILL
THEY GOT ALL TOGETHER AND BEGAN TO RIDE
DIDN’T KNOW HOW FAR, DIDN’T KNOW HOW WIDE
FOLLOWED THE STAR TO A DIFFERENT STAR
THERE FOUND THE GREATEST GIFT OF ALL
(AND THE) REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS
(TALKIN’ BOUT THE) REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS
YOU KNOW THE REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS IS CHRIST
OVER THE YEARS THINGS HAVE CHANGED
CHRISTMAS DAY HAS LOST THE INSANE
INSTEAD OF CELEBRATING HIS BIRTH
THEY’RE PRAISING HIS PRESENTS IN THE EARTH
WE’VE TURNED THIS DAY INTO A FAIRYTALE
FROSTY MEN AND RED-NOSED DEAR
A HOLIDAY JUST FOR ME
A SALE ON A SHOPPING SPREE
TO SEEK HIM IS STILL WISE
AND TO FIND HIM JUST LOOK INSIDE
IF AT THIS TIME WE GET REAL STILL
WE FIND OUT WHAT THE MEANING IS
(FOR THE) REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS
(I’VE FOUND OUT THE) REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS
HEY THE REAL MEANING OF CHRISTMAS IS CHRIST
(YES IT IS)
OH NOW
GIVE GIFTS ON THAT DAY
WELL IT’S FINE, IT’S OK
ALRIGHT TO SAY “I LOVE YOU”
SHOW SOMEONE YOU CARE
BUT WHEN YOU GIVE
JUST GIVE IT IN HIS NAME
LIFT A HEART AND EASE THE PAIN
The question is, 'will I ever leave You,'
the answer is, 'no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no'.
The question is, 'will I ever leave You,'
the answer is, 'no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no'.
Oh, I love the Lord for He's so dear to me,
oh He died that I might be free;
I was asked this question is and the answer is still, 'no'.
Verse 2
Now the question is, 'will I do His will,'
and it's, 'yes, yes, yes, yes,
yes, yes, yes, yes,
yes, yes, yes, yes'.
I was at home late one night,
the Lord asked me would I do His will,
I told Him, 'yes, yes, yes, yes,
yes, yes, yes, yes,
yes, yes, yes, yes'
I'm presenting my body, a living sacrifice,
all I'm gonna do is the will of Christ
I was asked this question and the answer is, 'yes'.
Verse 3
The question is, 'when will Jesus return''
I want you to know, 'soon, soon,
soon, soon, soon, soon'.
Look at the crisis in Iran,
Russia's already invaded Afghanistan,
soon, soon, soon, soon, soon, soon.
Oh but I can hardly wait for Jesus to return,
for His returning my heart of yearn,
I was asked this question, and the answer is, 'real soon'.
Verse 4
Now the questions are
'will I ever leave You, will I do Your will, and when will Jesus return'
no, and yes, and soon, soon, soon, soon.
Will I ever leave You, will I do Your will, when will Jesus return;
and the answer, 'no, and yes, and soon, soon, soon, soon.'
Oh, if you've questioned when Christ is coming,
Prone to wander, exploring the unknown
Prone to wander, seeing if we've grown
Destined to blunder, hope that I'll recover
Never to wander again
I never should have left your side
It took deep waters to make me realize
Now within your borders, void of any order
Never to wander again
I have been mixed with deep experience
Both good and bad, yes, good and bad
But it has caused me Lord
To love you more than I ever have, ever have
Prone to wander, no more my refrain
Cause I'll never leave your side no more again
Destined to blunder and hope that I'll recover
Never to wander, said I'll never leave your side
Never to wander, said I'll never leave your side
If I can just make it up there,
and if I can walk through that city bright and fair;
there'd probably be a thousand things
I want to tell the Lord on that day.
I'll just begin to cry,
You'll wipe the tears from my eyes,
I'll say thanks, You'll ask why,
this will be my reply, You know...
Chorus:
Millions didn't make it,
but I was one of the ones who did.
Millions didn't make it,
but I was one of the ones who did.
Verse 2:
There'd probably be a thousand things
that I wanna tell the Lord on that day.
I'll just begin to cry,
You'll wipe the tears from my eyes,
I'll say thanks, You'll ask why,
this will be my reply, You know...
Vamp 1:
Millions didn't make it,
but I was one of the ones who did.
Millions didn't make it,
one of the ones who did.
Millions didn't make it,
but I was one of the ones...
(You see) I made it over,
(I came through hard trials and tribulations, persecutions);
(I was one of the ones who did).
Vamp 2:
I made it over,
A man came to Jesus
Saying "Sir will you help my child,
Evil spirits come over him
And make him act so wild
They cast him into fire
And his life he tries to take
And I am rendered helpless
While my son just pines away
I took him to your discples
But they didn't have the cure
They said if you just touch him
Then he'd be made whole"
Jesus said "Sir do you have faith in me
All things are possible
If you can just believe"
Chorus:
(He cried)
Lord I believe
With your help I'll see
Lord I believe
Help my unbelief
Verse 2:
We're buffed about with trials
When heartaches are felt
When tried in the fire
Our courage begins to melt
Just like that man did back then
So do we today
When faced with the mountain
We let doubt get in the way
Jesus said if we have faith
The size of a mustard seed
He would make it possible
Our impossibilities
Chorus
Bridge
It's always hard to see your way with the natural eye
So we cry
Help me, help me to see
Can't do it on our own no matter how we try
So we cry
Help me, help me to see
Help me, help me believe
Chorus x5
I believe
Lord remove all doubt
I believe
I believe
Lord increase my faith
I believe
I believe
Lord I believe
I believe...

Oh Pharoah was so evil
In slaying God's most precious creations

For our backs are about to break"

And I'll make a way for your escape"

Now we're looking at the same situation
Over there in South Africa

There's still time for change and forgiveness
But judgment's drawing closer everyday

Whether black, whether white
They're all precious in His sight

Not another holocaust

Well it's time to make that change,
people of the world today are fading;
all of us have our ups and downs,
you better think about it or you won't be around.
What we need is a little bit of love,
sent by One from heaven up above,
take it from "T.", it's simple and plain,
this ain't no game, you know what I'm saying?
Chorus:
It's time, time to make a change,
we are the people who can do it.
It's time, time to make a change,
we are His people, we can do it.
Verse 1:
What is the world coming to,
seems like everyone is running from the truth;
we must stand up and fight,
walk into the light,
we're the people, we can do it, if we try.
Bridge:
I know we can do it,
somebody asked me why
do we have to go through it?
It's just a test of our faith,
what we're living day to day,
we don't know where, we don't know when,
but He's coming back again.
Chorus
Verse 2:
Jesus is spreading mighty fast,
earthquakes are moving through the land;
it ain't nothing but a sign,
gotta make up my mind,
we're the people, we can do it, if we try.

Chorus
If I labor, God is gonna give me a crown, a crown
I believe I'll work in the vineyard
Sun is going down

Did the Lord not say, whatever's right I'll pay
Did the Lord not say, work while it is day
Did the Lord not say, He would take us away
If I labor, God is gonna give me a crown, crown
I believe I'll work in the vineyard (repeat)
Sun is goin' down (x3)
How good, how wonderful, it is
When you've been rejected
And been pushed aside
How wonderful it is to be loved
Verse
There was a man, born in Bethlehem
He didn't have many friends at all, as we recall
As a matter of fact he was rejected by man
Even though he did not sin
But his life they despised
They put my Lord to shame
Ever since he rose
Men and women been callin' Jesus name
Chorus
Now my friends, don't you feel bad
In those times, when your being denied, pushed aside
And even when, you have to cry
Lonely, lonely, lonely teardrops, fill your eyes
You've nothing to lose, everything to gain
Lift your hands toward heaven, go on and call Jesus' name
He knows
Chorus
How wonderful
How marvelous
It feels alright
It's mighty nice
Ohhh ohhh ohhh oooo ohhhh oooo ooo oo ooooo yeah….

Without Your goodness, Your mercy, Your grace
I could not live in this terrible place
Without Your goodness, Your mercy, Your grace x2
Verse 1:
I couldn't even go (couldn't even go)
To the corner store
If I didn't know your arms of protection were around
I couldn't even ride (couldn't even ride)
In a city street car
Or even take a trip out of town
This is what I'd do, I'd stay at home (stay at home)
Locked up in my room
With all the windows and doors shut tight
But now I'm free (now I'm free)
I can go were I want to be
And know that everything's alright
Chorus
Verse 2:
Your mercy (your mercy), covers sinners too
As they go on their daily tasks
The don't know (they don't know), that it's really you
And they don't even bother to ask
But your grace (but your grace), keeps right on covering them
Til' you bring them into the knowledge of the truth
By your son (by your son), you can open their eyes
So that they'll realize that its really you
Chorus
Bridge
It's no goodness of my own, but its by the grace of God
That I've been kept all this time, and I still have a mind to go on
It's really no goodness of my own, no, but it's by the grace of God
That I've been kept all this time, and I still have a mind (x3)
Soon as spring arrives
With all of its splendor and surprise
It finds its way within our lives
But then there comes a change
The sun draws closer to our eyes
We say "Hooray" and touch the skies
Then spring turns to summers greens
Then it all must leave
Fall comes to us in midsummer time
It brings to us the autumn side
And the lovely snow soon will cover
The beauty of autumns cover, know that
Chorus:
Finders keepers, losers weepers
But I found someone who will never change
Today, tomorrow, He's still the same
And He won't ever go away
Verse 2:
You find a love and marry her sweet
You start to raise a family
And many happy days and anniversaries
But then there comes a change
A man embarks upon a career
He works and works for many years
Then he sits in silent tears
Because its gone away
We live a life of uncertainty
Just reaching for security
But I found someone in whom I am sure
His love will always endure, you know that
Chorus
Finders keepers, losers weepers
I found the Lord and so I'll never weep
The love He gives, I'll always keep
For He won't ever go away
He won't ever go away x2
Ain't no need in worrying
what the night is gonna bring,

Sometimes, there's no one to talk to
No one else I can find
But He's always there
He's everywhere

But you can lean on Him
He'll never let you fall and
All you got to do is call Him
He's just a friend

But then they smile in your face and
They talk behind your back
They're not like the friends of old
But I found a friend who's love is true
It won't change no matter what happens
.....He's gonna be right there
And you can depend on Him
(chorus)
And if you ever need a friend
He's always by your side
And He'll never, ever let you down
He's a friend of mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine
Yes He is
