Ta Ta You Jesus
Verse 1
Thinking bout the first time I heard your voice
It wiped away my past
If anyone could tell
This kind of love has gotta last
Chorus
So Ta Ta Jesus, Thank you
I wanna ta ta you Jesus, Thank you
I wanna ta ta you Jesus, Thank you
For being mine, mine mine
Remembering when I didn't know the Savior
How I wish that he was mine
(So you know what) I had a little talk with the man
upstairs
And I said won't you please come inside
Repeat
Chorus
Ain't no love in the whole wide world for me but
you,you it's you.
Help them understand, Lord.
You're making me a man now, girl.
Your love, your love, love, is so true, so true, so
true, so true, so true, so true
so true.
Repeat Chorus
I wanna ta ta you
Thank you Jesus
I wanna ta ta you
Gotta to, I gotta thank you
I wanna ta ta you
I got to thank you for 34 years on earth
I wanna ta ta you
For being mine, mine, mine
Come on and get off your feet if the Lord has been good
to you.
I wanna ta ta you
For being mine, mine, mine

Precious Lord, Take My Hand
Precious Lord, take my hand
Lead me on, help 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
Take my hand, precious Lord
Lead me home
Take my hand, precious Lord
Lead me home
Just A Closer Walk With Thee
Chorus:
Just a closer walk with Thee
Grant it, Jesus is my plea
Daily walking close to Thee
Let it be, dear Lord
Let it be
I am weak, but Thou art strong
Jesus, keep me from all wrong
I'll be satisfied as long
As I walk
Let me walk close to Thee
(Repeat Chorus)
When my feeble life is o'er
Time for me will be no more
Guide me gently, safely o'er
To Thy kingdom shore,

I think I'm feelin' a No-Word Praise comin' on
Done got so happy ain't got no words for this song
I open my mouth but I just can't speak
Cause I feel the spirit all over me
It's one of those times I wish I could play a horn
I'd play how glad I am that I've been reborn
I'd play about goodness and mercy too
Yes they're following me, are they following you?
When I lift my hands and open up my mouth
I think of his goodness to me
And I just can't help myself.
Repeat Verse
When I lift my hands and open up my mouth
I think of his goodness to me
And I just can't help no.
I think I'm feelin' a no-word praise comin' on
The Lord desires for me
Has already been done
If the Lord has been good to you
Then just stand to your feet
And he'll show you what to do
Oh Glory (glory)
Glory (glory)
Glory (glory)
Hallelujah (hallelujah)
Oh I thank you, Lord thank you, Lord

I am thinking of you
In my sleepless solitude tonight
If it’s wrong to love you
Then my heart just won’t let me right
Cause I’ve drowned in you
And I won’t pull through
Without you by my side
I’d give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I’d risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
Cause I can’t go on
Living in the memory of our song
I’d give my all for your love tonight
Baby can you feel me
Imagining I’m looking in your eyes
I can see you clearly
Vividly emblazoned in my mind
And yet you’re so far
Like a distant star
I’m wishing on tonight
I’d give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I’d risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
Cause I can’t go on
Living in the memory of our song
I’d give my all for your love tonight
I’d give my all to have
Just one more night with you
I’d risk my life to feel
Your body next to mine
Cause I can’t go on
Living in the memory of our song
I’d give my all for your love tonight
Give my all for your love

Superman can fly high way up in the sky
'Cause we believe he can
So what we choose to believe can always work out fine
It's all in the mind
So think of a place and imagine a time
(Imagine a time, imagine a time)
And let's go be lovers
Believing me, Ooo wee baby
Is believing right, yeah yeah yeah
And ...
Chorus:
I wanna love, wanna have, wanna hold you girl (Girl)
So make me a believer
(Wanna love, wanna love, wanna love, wanna love, wanna
love, wanna girl)
I wanna love, wanna have, wanna hold you girl (Girl)
Interlude:
Ooo so near
And forever keep you here
Forget all about whatever we fear (Whatever we fear)
And let's just be lovers
Loving and loving, oh love is the way
To make me stay, make me stay
Yeah, I know the way to persuade me over to your side
And I am sure you can
So if you get me to believe
It all will work out fine
'Cause you'll blow my mind
So let's pick a place and a day and a time ( A place
and a day and a time)
And then we'll be lovers
Loving and loving, oh love is the way

Butterflies before they fly
They never doubt the beauty that awaits inside
Like a flower reaching out, reaching for the sun
They don't compare theirselves to anyone
And I wonder why we do
So don't try too hard now, be who you are now
You've got to let it shine
Beauty has no face, no color, no race child
Beauty is inside
In your eyes, I see your light
Shining from your heart when you don't even try
So just be yourself 'cause there's no one else
No one else like you, there ain't nobody in this world it's true
So let your light come through
So don't try too hard now, be who you are now
You've got to let it shine
Beauty has no face, no color, no race child
Beauty is inside
Beauty is inside
There's more than what meets the eye
Much more than on the outside
It's something that's deep inside
You won't find it on a movie screen or pages of a magazine
Much more than the eye can see
Don't try too hard now, be who you are now
You've got to let it shine
Beauty has no face, no color, no race child
Beauty is inside
Don't try too hard now, be who you are now
You've got to let it shine
Beauty has no face, no color, no race child
Beauty is inside
Don't try too hard now, be who you are now
You've got to let it shine
Beauty has no face, no color, no race child
Beauty is inside
Don't try too hard now, be who you are now
You've got to let it shine
Beauty has no face, no color, no race child

(Verse 1)
Falling in love with Jesus
Falling in love with Jesus
Falling in love with Jesus
Was the best thing I ever, ever done
(Repeat)
(Verse 2)
In His arms I feel protected
In His arms never disconnected (no no)
In HIs arms I feel protected
There's no place I'd rather rather be
(Repeat Verse 1)

Oooooh...
It happened the moment, when you were revealed
'Cause you were a dream that you should not have been
A fantasy real
You gave me this beating baby
This rhythm inside
And you made me feel good and feel nice and feel loved
Give me paradise
[1] - So shouldn't I realize
You're the highest of the high
If you don't know, then I'll say it
So don't ever wonder
[repeat 1]
So tell me how long
How long it's gonna take until you speak, babe
'Cause I can't live my life
Without you here by my side
Ooh...
You gave me the feelin', feelin' in my life

You made my soul a burning fire,
you're getting to be my one desire,
you're getting to be all that matters to me¦
and let me tell you boy
I hope and pray each day I live,
a little more love I'll have to give,
a little more love that's devoted and true...
cuz all I do is think about you
(all I do) oh baby (is think about you)
think about you baby (all I do) (is think about you)
Maybe just suppose I could happen to cross your mind,
and by some chance a girl like me you really been
trying to find...
well let me tell you boy, think how it exciting it
would be,
if you should discover you feel like me,
if you should discover this dream is for two...
well I'm gonna tell you boy
I'd light a candle every day
and pray that you always feel this way
and pray that our love will for ever be new...
cuz all I do is think about you, (all I do) oh baby

(all I do) yeah baby (is think about you) ............
I'm gonna tell you boy
I'd light a candle every day
and pray that you always feel this way,
and pray that our love will forever be new¦
I tell you boy if I cannot have you for my own,
I'd rather be lonely and all alone,
I'd rather be thinking the way that I do,..
cuz all I do is think about you,
(all I do) oh baby (is think about you)

Famous quotes by Kirk Whalum:

"[The set has a strong Crescent City tilt, with Harry Connick Jr.'s] City Beneath the Sea ... When the Saints Go Marching In."

"I hope these songs impact people’s lives in the positive, make people think about love. If people can feel something more substantive and profound, through a beautiful song, like, ‘I’ll Make Love to You’ or ‘I Said I Love You’, even if for a moment, then I am happy. If they can touch that deeper place and feel a bit of what I felt when I played these songs, then I’ve done my job."

"A really cool thing about the Babyface Songbook is this is the first time that Babyface as a songwriter has been elevated to this level, ... I don’t pretend to be the one elevating him, but our treatment of him has that kind of integrity to it, that kind of dignity. In the pop world, you can be taken seriously…or not. As a pop songwriter, you can be here today and gone tomorrow. Babyface and his music have withstood the test of time. This project is a tribute to a great songwriter in the traditions of Cole Porter, Holland/Dozier and Irving Berlin. They all had the ability, through a lyric or a note, to find the common ground that unites us all, to find that something that thousands and thousands of people can feel intimately and profoundly. That is power, and that’s what these songs have. The music of Babyface goes straight to the heart."
