Lyrics to Thank You

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)
