What a Wonderful World
(George Douglas and George David Weiss)
I see trees of green, red roses too
I watch them bloom for me and for you
And I think to myself, “What a wonderful world”
I see skies of blue, clouds of white
Bright blessed days and dark, sacred nights
And I think to myself, “What a wonderful world”
(Chorus) The colors of a rainbow so pretty in the sky
Also the faces of the people passing by
I see friends shaking hands, “How do you do?”
They’re only saying, “I love you”
I hear babies cry, and I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more, than we’ll ever know
And I think to myself, “What a wonderful world”
I hear babies cry, and I watch them grow
They’ll learn much more, than we’ll ever know
And I think to myself, “What a wonderful world”
Ooh, I think to myself, “What a wonderful world”
David Did Dance
David didn’t dream he could ever do it
Being a King was gonna be hard
David didn’t dive to the depths of confusion
He always called for God to be his guard
David didn’t draw from the well of evil
David had a heart that heard God’s voice
And David drown in all his sorrow
David didn’t hide his holy choice
(Chorus) David did dance
David did sing David did dance
And David did swing
David did dance, and I know why
David did dance, dance, dance
And so can I
Oh! David didn’t do everything that he should have
'Cause he was always human through and through
And David didn’t drop everything he believed in
Oh David didn’t dare forget the truth
David didn’t drive down the road of perfection
And David didn’t dock on the shore of defeat
David drank the new wine of the spirit
And it found its way down to his feet
Chorus
Sometimes you can’t help it
Sometimes you don’t care
Sometimes it’s a feeling like
Like a breath of Heaven’s air
Sometimes you just smile
And other times you cry
Sometimes you begin to move
And sometimes you see why
Chorus
I Will Go On
I repent for moments I have spent
Recalling all the pain and failures of my past
I repent for dwelling on the things
Beyond my power to change the chains that held me fast
(Chorus) I will go on my past I leave behind me
I gladly take His mercy and His love
He is joy and He is peace
He strength and sweet release
I know He is and I am His
I will go on
I give up the bitterness and hate
The blaming men and fate
For all my discontent
The guilt and pain I empty from my cup
So God can fill it up with peace and sweet content
(Chorus)
I will go on…
If I Could Hear My Mother Pray Again
How sweet and happy seem
Those days of which I dream
When memory recalls them now and then
And with what rapture sweet
My weary heart would beat
If I could hear my mother pray again
(Chorus) If I could hear my mother pray again
If I could hear her tender voice as then
So happy I would be, it would mean so much to me
If I could hear my mother pray again.
She used to pray that I on Jesus would rely
And always walk that shining gospel way
So trusting still His love, I seek that home above
Where I shall meet my mother some glad day
(Chorus)
I Wish You Enough
For every beginning, something is ending
Everything changes but change
Funny how life is forever amending
The plans that we all prearrange
So laugh when you can cry when you must
I pray you’ll always live deep
Never forget sometimes you just
Drink from the bitter to savor the sweet
(Chorus) I wish you love,I wish you joy
I pray that happiness camps outside your door
I hope you win, I hope you lose
I pray you’ll realize that both are good for you
May you never have too little or too much
I wish you enough
So savor the journey, live every moment
Hold fast to what you believe
You will discover a strength in your weakness
In ways you could never conceive
So Godspeed my friend, peace and goodwill
I fondly bid you adieu
Always remember as long as I live
I will be somewhere praying for you
Chorus
Livin’ in the Rain
(Chorus) I’ve been livin’ in the rain, child
I’ve been livin’ in the rain
Soaking up the blessings of the Good Lord
I’ve been livin’ in the rain
I don’t need to find a shelter
Don’t want the weather to change
All my days are better now
Since I’ve been livin’ in the rain.
I wandered in the desert for many years
My soul was running dry
The sky grew heavy like a cloud of grace
It came pouring like a river of life
(Chorus)
The rains have been falling since He saved my soul
The floodgates are open wide
All my sins are washed away
They went rolling with the rising tide
(Chorus)
I’m gonna stay outside in the waterfall
There ain’t nothing to worry about
I’m gonna jump right in and get my bare feet wet
'Cause His mercy keeps coming down
(Chorus)
Walk with Me
Walk with me Lord, Walk with me
Walk with me Lord, Walk with me
While I’m on this, this tedious journey
I need you Jesus, to walk with me
Be my friend Lord…
Don’t leave me alone Lord,
Walk with me…
Mary, Did You Know?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?
Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child you delivered will soon deliver you
Mary did you know that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?
Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
When you’ve kissed your little baby, you’ve kissed the face of God
Mary did you know? Mary did you know? Mary did you know?
The blind will see
The deaf will hear
The dead will live again
The lame will leap
The dumb will speak
The praises of the Lamb
Mary did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day rule the nations?
Did you know that your baby boy is Heaven's perfect Lamb?
And the sleeping child you're holding is The Great I Am
I’m Free
So long I have searched for life's meaning
Enslaved by the world and my greed
Then the door of my prison was opened by love
For the ransom was paid, I was freed
(Chorus) I'm free from the fear of tomorrow
I'm free from the guilt of the past
I've traded my shackles for a glorious song
I’m free, praise the Lord, free at last
I am free from the guilt that I carried
From the dull empty life, I am set free
For when I met Jesus, He made me complete
He forgot the foolish child that I used to be
(Chorus)
Oh, I've traded my shackles for a glorious song I'm free, praise the Lord, free at last
I Know How to Say Thank You
I don’t know about the future
I don’t understand some things about the past
I don’t know why some things happen
I don’t know why some things end and others last
I don’t know the rhymes and reasons
I don’t understand the words some people pray
When I see your hand of mercy Lord
Protect from the dangers in my way
(Chorus) I know how to say thank you
I know a blessing when I see one
I’m a recipient of grace
Through the hours and the days
I know how to say thank you
There were times today when angels stood around me
And I couldn’t even see
There were times when I was hurting
And then you stepped in and took the pain for me
There were moments when you stopped me
So that I could smell the roses by the road
Though I’m not the wisest person, Lord
There are just some things beyond a doubt I know
(Chorus)
