Chorus:
Heavenly Father You're the one we're waiting on
Because without you there's no way that I can stay strong
I can't go on any longer on my own
So hear me when I say
Heavenly Father, we need your help today

Verse 1:
(ba da ding ding ding)
I'm ringing your bell
Yes it's me
Come on now and let me in
I've got to see you
And no one else will do
I need Your hand

Bridge1:
You said if ever there was a time a time I needed you
You would come through
And if ever there was a time a time we needed you
oooooh
yeah, yeah yeah
(chorus)

Verse 2:
(Lord I'm sorry)
For all the wrong I've done
And you say, (and you say)
You know it really doesn't (really doesn't matter at all)
matter at all
And I'm gonna make it
Your word said I could
And I believe (I believe)

(Bridge 1)
(Chorus)

Bridge 2:
And If ever there was a time a time we needed you (needed you, needed)
Yes if ever there was a time a time we needed you (needed you)
You gon love us everyday
Every day
We need you in every way
Every way
We gonna.... everyday

(Chorus 2 times)

Look at the world and all the trouble it's in
We've traded righteousness for pleasures of sin
And now that things have gotten way out of hand
You're wondering how and you're wondering when
Hate is filtered right into your home
Takin' the love that the family once owned
Mothers against the daughters, dads against sons
The way that it looks, seems like evil has won

(CHORUS)
Anybody wanna pray with me, anybody wanna pray with me
Anybody wanna, anybody wanna pray with me
(and chase all these troubles away)
Anybody wanna pray with me, anybody wanna pray with me
Anybody wanna, anybody wanna pray with me
(and chase all these dark clouds away)

I understand just why you'd throw in the towel
Where there's no hope life is not worth the while
Why would you chose to live without me
What else do you want when I am all that you need
Searching high and searching low everyday
To find the peace of mind and someone to care
When all you have to do is fall on your knees
Take a look at yourself, I'm all that you need

(REPEAT CHORUS)

And now it's time to shout
Shout the victory (We Win!)
If you haven't read the book, come and go with me
(there comes a time)
There comes a time when all jokes aside (stop playin)
You make up your mind, you make up your mind
On bended knees these petitions get heard
From the throne room to packed arenas you've heard
Known for that, must commence to
Rock it fat, crowd react
Believe I'll pray for that
Yo' I keep my stance on the rock like this
So if two, three or mo decide to lock wrist
You better come strong, faith long in this
Cause wi' grits and Cece you know God in the midst

(Repeat Chorus)

I still remember the nights
When there was darkness in my life
But then You came
Something deep inside me changed and now I pray
I started to trust without fear
Knowing You’d hold me through the tears
Because of You
I’ve learned there’s nothing love can’t do
So hear me pray
Just a little help is all we need
Just a little light we can see
Just a little faith leads the way

[chorus]
For everyone who’s falling in love
And every child that needs Your touch
For all of the hopes
And dreams that we share
And for the hearts that cry tonight
I’ll say a prayer

How can one voice be heard
I’ve got to tell the whole wide world
How much You care
Cause no one has to walk alone
So hear me pray
Just a little help is all we need
Just a little light we can see
Just a little faith leads the way

[chorus]

I’ll close my eyes
While I’m down on my knees
It gives me courage to believe
So I’ll keep on believing
I’ll keep on believing

[chorus]

{Verse 1}
I wasnt looking
All the colours were grey
It's hard to notice
When your out in the rain
All of a sudden
Colours are starting to change
You brought the light
Now the darkness is gone
The search is over
Now I know you are the one
Somebody tell me
Where does an angel come from
'Cos your more than just the one

{Chorus}
Yea your more than what I wanted
Everything I never had
Gotta get it right to your heart
You can show me where it's at
You are the miracle I needed so bad
And you're more than what I wanted
Everything I never had

{Verse 2}
Something about ya
Can't say what it is
Thought you should know that
You are the reason I live
I would do anything
To make you believe some how
So Im telling you now

{Chorus}

{Verse 3}
Just let me say I would die for you
Give all I have to prove my love is true
And I'll never let you go

More than what I wanted
More than what I wanted
You are the miracle I needed so bad
And your more than what I wanted
More than what I wanted
And your more than what I wanted
Everything I never had
Gotta get it right to your heart
You can show me where it's at
You are the miracle I needed so bad
And your more than what I wanted
Everything I never had
Everything I never had
More than what i wanted
And you are the miracle I needed so bad
More than what I wanted
Everything I never had

What can I do?
What wish can I make come true?
Because you mean so much to me
The love I have for you is so strong
This is where I belong
My arms are open wide, so let me hold you

I will be the rock for you
The rain for you
The sun that lights the way across the dark
No matter where you are
I'm never very far away
Night and day my love will lead you through
Look into your heart I'll be lookin back at you

It took some time, but finally you're all mine
It was the hardest road that brought you here
Now whatever comes will be alright
I'll never leave your side
So give me your hand and don't let go

I will be the rock for you
The rain for you
The sun that lights the way across the dark
No matter where you are
I'm never very far away
Night and day my love will lead you through
Look into your heart I'll be lookin back at you

We'll find our way through every storm
Together now
Just look into your heart
I'll be there

I will be the rock for you
The rain for you
The sun that lights the way across the dark
No matter where you are
I'm never very far away
Night and day my love will lead you through
Look into your heart I'll be lookin back at you

Hello Mr. Busy
I wonder could you share a little time
Let me introduce you to abundance
All that you need I will supply
I wanna be everything
I wanna be more

Already know about the secrets
Already heard about the past
I didn't come to hold the guilt up over
Only want to share the love I have
All I wanna be is everything
I wanna be more than just your friend

Let me be the one to hold you through the night
Then I can take your enemy and win the fight

I wanna be more than just your sister
I wanna be more than next of kin
Gotta be more than just your brother
I wanna be more than just a friend
All I wanna be is everything
I wanna be more

Stay close to me
Be ready to hear my next words
I've got a lot of grace to deliver
And in case you haven't heard
I wanna be everything
I wanna be more

Many places I can take you
Many promises to fill
But in order to recieve them
We've got to make this clear
I've got to be everything
I want to be more than just your friend

Let me be the one to love you when you're wrong
Then I can be the lyrics to a happy song

I wanna be more than just your sister
I wanna be more than next of kin
Gotta be more than just your brother
I wanna be more than just a friend
All I wanna be is everything
I wanna be more

I whisper words about you endlessly
Mostly to myself because you make me believe
No one could ever love me like you could
There would be a day I'd be alone
And never would there be a time I didn't know
Cause no one could ever love me like you could

You have been the one who fulfills my dreams
I'll never let you go
If you stay with me
I promise you would know

Of all the times I've reached out for you
Oh, can't you see how I adore you
I couldn't spend my life without you
Please believe me I will never doubt you

You've been the one to answer all my prayers
Anytime I need you I know that you'll be there
Cause no one could ever love me like you could
I'm hoping that you'll hear these prayers of mine
I'm hoping that we'll be together for all times
Cause no one could ever love me like you could

You have been the one who fulfills my dreams
I'll never let you go
If you stay with me
I promise you would know

Of all the times I've reached out for you
Oh, can't you see how I adore you
I couldn't spend my life without you
Please believe me I will never doubt you

Oh I would do anything for you to share that place in my heart
Please let me be the one
It would mean everything
There'll be no one to keep us apart

Of all the times I've reached out for you
Oh, can't you see how I adore you
I couldn't spend my life without you
Please believe me I will never doubt you

Do you sit by yourself and wonder what live is all about
If there’s a purpose or a plan or does it happen by chance
Do you ever think why things always turn out right
No matter how bad you’ll find your way again
I’ve learned how to keep it all together and now I know nothing else matters

CHORUS:
For love alone I live my life
And from this moment on I vow to never lose sight
If I ever doubt the reason why I’m here
I’ll start questioning my fears and know it’s for love alone

Time flies so fast
Live each day like it’s the last
Cherish what you have
When it’s gone you can’t go back
Cause at the end of the day when we are face to face
I won’t be afraid
I’m glad to say
I’ve learned how to keep it all together
And now I know nothing else matters

CHORUS

What I have inside, it will never die.
For love alone I live my life

A time of innocence and love
Could we go back to how it was
I remember when life was so simple
You did or you didn't
You would or you wouldn't
But it ain't like that anymore
I remember when life was so easy
People said what they meant
They were either for it or against
But it ain't like that anymore
Somewhere we lost the score

(CHORUS)
Bring back the days of yea and nay
When we could plainly see the way
Then it was up to us to choose
Whether to win or to lose
Bring back the times when we could see
What it was we were to be
Caught in the midst of complexity
We search for yea and nay

I remember when life ws so simple
Parents were a light
Through them we saw what was right
But it ain't like that anymore
I remember when life was so easy
Boys grew into men, little girls to women then
But it ain't like that anymore
Somewhere we lost the score

(REPEAT CHORUS)

We knew where we belonged
What was right and what was wrong

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Need a simple yes or no
Should I stay or should I go
Life has become so advanced
Wish i had a second chance
To go back if I could
See what was bad and what was good
Now I'm here and what I fear
Is we won't find yea or nay

I been sittin here thinking and I've come to conclude
That you've been takin things that really don't belong to you
Sit down, better yet get out
And now you actin up cause you know that I'm on to you
And now I'm bout to tell you what you're gonna do
Get out
Get out, out my house

Don't want you on my porch no more
Stop looking through my window open
Cause you're my enemy and not my friend, (not my friend)
I can see clearly and I don't

Wanna hear you on my radio
Don't wanna see you on my TV screen
Don't wanna read you in my magazine, (movie scene)
You need to hear me

(You know you're wrong)
Tryin to run them games on me
(And you know you're wrong)
Tryin to put them chains on me
(I need you gone gone gone gone gone)
I need you gone gone- I need you gone
So now you're gonna have to yield the floor
And one thing more
I'm gonna have to show you to the door
And when you go(And when you go please stay away)

(Get out my house)
I don't ever want to have to see your face round here no more
(Get out my house, out my house, out my house)
(You need to get out my house)
I don't ever want to have to see you come around here no more
(Get out my house, out my house, out my house)

Stop messin with my family
I'm takin back what you stole from me
'Cause now I'm living in victory
And you don't scare me, I'll tell you why

God is for me so I'm not afraid
My escape is already made
And His life it was the price He paid (Price He paid)
And now you're under my feet

(You know you're wrong)
Tryin to run them games on me
(And you know you're wrong)
Tryin to put them chains on me
(I need you gone gone gone gone gone)
I need you gone gone- I need you gone
Now for the record I am not afraid
I'm not afraid, not afraid, no
And now you have to be on your way
And when you go(And when you go please stay away)

(Get out my house)
I don't ever want to have to see your face round here no more
(Get out my house, out my house, out my house)
(You need to get out my house)
I don't ever want to have to see you come around here no more
(Get out my house, out my house, out my house)

I need you gone gone gone gone gone

I just really need you gone gone gone gone
So now I have to tell you so long
It was all wrong and what I don't want
Is you to ever come back, cause I'm
Not in the mood to negotiate, I know
God is for me and I'm not afraid
Gone gone. . .gone gone
And when you go, And when you go please stay away

(Get out my house)
I don't ever want to have to see your face round here no more
(Get out my house, out my house, out my house)
(You need to get out my house)
I don't ever want to have to see you come around here no more
(Get out my house, out my house, out my house)

Holy Spirit come and fill this place

Show Your power make your presence known
Holy Spirit come fill this place

My heart is longing just to hear from you
My soul is waiting to know someone who
Can take us higher help us make it through
So will you please come and set us free

CHORUS

Breath of God we need a touch from you

Stir our hearts and set our spirit free
Holy spirit come fill this place

Our hearts are hungry for your perfect peace
Our souls are thirsty for the joy you bring
So send your glory makes your praise complete
Send down the rain, touch us once again

CHORUS

It's gonna get better
It's gonna get better. . .better

You're feeling all alone
Your pain is very real
It seems to be no way out
Just look above and deep inside
You can survive

It's gonna get better
Don't give up now please
It's gonna get better
Just stick around
Weeping may endure for a night
But joy will come
There's hope so will you stay
It's gonna get better
It's gonna get better
Please don't throw your life away

You've worth much more than gold
Even though you weren't told
Each day is a gift so live
And watch your miracles unfold
You can survive

Things will really soon get much brighter
The sun is going to shine again
Hang in there and you'll be much stronger
You will survive

It's gonna get better
Don't give up now please
It's gonna get better
Just stick around
Weeping may endure for a night
But joy will come
There's hope so will you stay
It's gonna get better
It's gonna get better
Please don't throw your life away

Love has brought you this far
And it will lead you to that light

It's gonna get better
Don't give up now please
It's gonna get better
Just stick around
Weeping may endure for a night
But joy will come
There's hope so will you stay
It's gonna get better
It's gonna get better
Please don't throw your life away

We have days very long, we have days very hard
We're given up our lives for the sake of the call
And in those times when we thought
"We were not gonna make it"
We would remind ourselves that our reward in heaven
We're goin'
To a place that is truly blessed
A place where we'll find rest, yeah
Prepared for me and you
I'm getting my house in order, how about you?
A place that is full of peace
Love it will be overflowing
We'll be there for eternity
I want you there yeah, I want you there with me

(CHORUS)
Keep your head up, he's coming someday
To carry us all away, to a better place
(REPEAT)

We all have times when we're weak
And we have times when we're strong
We don't always do what's right
"Cause sometimes it's easier to do wrong"
Well everybody makes mistakes
At some point in their lives
You know that nobodys perfect
We're all just reachin' for the prize
We're goin'

(REPEAT CHORUS)

White pearly gates
That's where the streets are made with gold
His Glory illuminates the heavens
Walls of jasper, we'll live there everafter
We'll seek his face, we'll bow down and cry
Holy, Holy, Holy, Holy

(REPEAT CHORUS)
