Wounded Tune 02:22
lyrics
buy track
I can’t keep it inside anymore I’ve got to shout out my love for the Lord Oh, for words to express what I’d like to say For a melody worthy of His ears Now I know that my voice ain’t so And my fingers won’t play like they should But it’s the only thing that I know how to do So I’ll sing to you, sing to you I know that my life’s just begun And I see there’s a race to be run Someday and it won’t be long I’ll be playing another song Another song A different song Neither flat nor sharp I’ll be playing a harp that’s in tune Not like the games I used to play Where someone came along And burst your balloon Ever since I drank from the Golden Goblet of God My life’s no longer been a Wounded tune Wounded tune Wounded tune Wounded tune

People Need God 02:40

People lay crying People lay dying All in their own worlds On their own selves relying People need God People need Jesus People need Holy Ghost Deep in their hearts People are starving Bodies in pain And the problems Still remain Down through the ages Thousands of years In all our wisdom We can’t stop the Can’t stop the tears We need the Father We need the Son We need the Holy Ghost Deep in our hearts

Anytime 02:13
lyrics

I can call your name Anytime of the day or night And you’re always there To hear my prayer And dry my tears Just can’t understand how man Has turned his back so long Thousands of years And even some Who use your name Have turned And found you’ve gone Because of sin in their hearts They just won’t let go I only know That I can rest at peace It doesn’t really matter Where I am Precious Lord If You’er by me If You’re by me Walking down your road I find It’s harder than I knew But really the Only thing that hurts Is knowing that they’re Hurting you And I won’t cry for myself Now that I’ve seen your heart And know your pain I can call your name Anytime of the day or night And you’re always there To hear my prayer And dry my tears To hear my prayer And dry my tears To hear my prayer And dry my tears

The Way It's Always Been 02:49
lyrics

Thinking of Him Is like feeling the morning rain Once you have You’ll never be the same Crisp green and clean Sparking in the morning dew Clear blue sky up above my head Not even smog between I’d like to clear the air here and there Here and there and there On some thoughts that you might have About the Lord, about the Lord There are things that could be more Clearly seen, clearly seen Won’t you listen to the way it’s always been Knowing the King is like Having a special friend Walking with Him Through the morning rain Knowing this friend Is the place where you begin To know what He’s like And how He’s always been I’’d like to clear the air here and there Here and there and there On some thoughts that you might have About the Lord, about the Lord There are things that should be more Clearly seen, clearly seen Won’t you listen to the way it’s always been Thinking of Him Is like feeling the morning rain Once you have You’ll never be the same

Til He Comes Back Home 02:02
lyrics
buy track
My father was a Yankee from the north And my mother was a southern belle It’s a good thing the war was over by then They didn’t get along so well But I could always get my own way Just as long as he was gone She’d say, “It,s alright ‘Til he comes back home.” I finally got out on my own Learned of fending for myself And I took care of number one You know I did it very well The men would come And the men would go It seemed alright to me I’d say, “It’s alright ‘Til he comes back home But I didn’t think Of the God I’d hurt Or all the tears He shed Over me And I didn’t care About the blood that flowed When He died alone On the tree Now I’m walking down the road To life eternally I look upon the former things It doesn’t even seem like me It’s funny how a girl can change But all my friends agree And so I’m waiting for My Lord’s return And when He does you know He’s gonna Take Me home I’m sitting here waiting ‘til you take me home Jesus, come on, come on take me home

It's Your Birthday 02:47
lyrics
buy track
Your parents tried they sacrificed Not money for they were poor But with all their hearts They gave their lives They gave and gave some more Hang your head is shame For though you claim You’re not to blame I know your game Will end the same As others have before You know what’s right What’s His delight Yet choose to do what’s wrong While God’s been there And loved you so Been patient for so long But you gave in return Hate for love And spite for God’s own Son Who Loved so much He gave that you Might sing a brand new song You ask what can I give Give your life completely to Him Turn your back on your self Learn a new way It’s your birthday The day that you do Your parents prayed They knew the Lord Would hear their humble plea Not for themselves But for your life That you might be made free You can learn to walk with Him And trust Him day by day Won’t you cling to Him With all you have Don’t you ever slip away

Fruit Above, Root Below 02:46
lyrics

Fruit above And root below You know there’s warmth If the fire’s aglow I long to live like lighted coals Burning out at His control I will not misbehave or Ever wavier If I truly love the Savior Fruit above And root below You know there’s love When you let it flow Like living waters from inside A purity will coincide I will not misbehave or Ever wavier If I truly love the Savior Used to be I lived for myself Now i’ve put me in the shelf Only living like He’s told us to Now I’m nothing special So don’t misconstrue But I’m living every minute Putting all I’ve got in it For Jesus Fruit above And root below You just can’t help But to overflow When Jesus Christ has set you free From all the world and it’s debris You will not misbehave or Ever Waiver If you truly love the Savior

Last Daze Waltz 02:32
lyrics

The people thought Noah had done flipped out They said, “Look at that cat with the boat “We’re miles from water with no sign of showers “How’s he think that thing’s gonna float” Well, Noah said, “You can all ride with me “If you’ll turn from your wicked ways” you know it started to rain, the boat began to float They knew they’d lost their last hope Justice had it’s day Well now, no man knows the hour or the day But we know that He’s coming soon So don’t So don’t you think you’re cool or that you’re doing so good Unless you’re ready for the Lord’s return Jesus come fast, you know the world can’t last We’re gonna wipe our selves off the map Don’t you let Him catch you when you’re fast asleep Or even in you’re taking a nap, no snoozing, now Well Samson had the strength of a thousand men You know his strength lied in his hair Along came Delilah with a crew-cut style I said, for Samson that was something rare First thing he knew he had lost his eyes The poor boy was a slave Unless you want to be a slave to yourself You’d better get right with God And let Jesus have His way

Glorious Prince 02:46

Sky of blue and the deep green sea And snails and butterflies wings Rolling hills and wandering streams All ruled by the King of kings You and me and the redwood tree And the fox and the sugar cane Pussy willows, robin's nest, lion's dens They all magnify His name Glorious Prince on high I love you and I know why Cuz every time I turn around I see Your wondrous works You're so good, so wise, so kind It's You I'll always serve Full moon, new moon, Autumn or Spring Waterfalls and I'm refreshed Snow white gulls upon the wing Oh Lord, how the earth's been blessed Country lane, Summer rain, newborn foal A barnyard scene for all Bubbling brook, Bible book, panting doe Nothing less than the Savior's call Glorious Prince on high I love you and I know why Cuz every time I turn around I see Your wondrous works You're so good, so wise, so kind It's You I'll always serve Cuz every time I turn around I see Your wondrous works You're so good, so wise, so kind It's You I'll always serve

Heartache [bonus track] 02:53
lyrics
buy track
I wish that you could see All of this time you’re hurting more than just me You’ve become like the thing You hate so much to see All of your suffering has been needlessly Heartache is hard to live with When it begins to eat at your soul Heartache is hard to live with When you keep on refusing to let anyone Carry your heavy load You always wanted to do it alone Look where it’s gotten you You just lie there wallowing in your pain Looking for a sunny day to wipe away the rain But I’m telling you right now You’re never going to change Until you’re willing to be rearranged Heartache is hard to live with But it won’t get up and leave on it’s own Heartache is hard to live with Specially when your own heart Says you’ve been wrong all along But when you are weak He’s so very strong You’re never ever gonna be able to do it alone No, No, No, No, No
