I Believe In You and Me
I Believe That we will be
In love eternally
Well as far as I can see
You Will Always be the one
For me (Oh yes, you will)

And I believe in dreams again
I believe that love will never end
And like the river finds the sea
I was lost, now I'm free
Cuz I believe In you and me

I will never leave your side
I will never hurt your pride
When all the chips are down, baby
Then I will always be around
Just to be right where you are
My love, you know I love you, boy

I will never leave you out
I will always let you in, boy (mmm, oh baby)
To places no-one's ever been,
Deep inside, can't you see?
That I believe in you and me

Maybe I'm a fool
To feel the way I do
I will play the fool forever
Just to be with you forever

I believe in miracles
And love is the miracle
And yes, baby you're my dream come true
I was lost, now I'm free,
Oh, baby cuz i believe, i do believe, in you and me
See, I was lost, now I'm free

. . .



Well there's a bridge
And there's a river
That I still must cross
And as I'm going
On my journey
Oh I might be lost
And there's a road I have to follow
A place I have to go
Well no one told me
Just how to get there
But when I get there I'll know
Cause I'm taking it

Step by step, bit by bit
Stone by stone, yeah
Brick by brick
Step by step, day by day
Mile by mile oh

And this old road
Is rough and ruined
So many dangers
Along the way
So many burdens
Might fall upon me
So many troubles
That I have to face
Oh but I won't let my spirit fail me
Hmm no I won't let my spirit go
Until I get to my destination
I'm gonna take it slowly
Cause I'm making it by

1 - Step by step, bit by bit
Stone by stone, yeah
Brick by brick
Step by step, day by day
Mile by mile oh
Go your own way

Go your own way
Say it baby, don't give up
You got to hold on to what you got
Oh baby, don't give up
You got to keep on moving on don't stop, yeah, yeah
I know you're hurting
And I know you're blue
I know you're hurting
But don't let the bad things get to you

Repeat 1

Listen to the music
The sound of the angels
Come and see the child
Who can make you whole
Lying in a manger
Away from harm and danger

Chorus:
Oh joy in my soul
Oh joy, joy down in my soul
Sweet beautiful soul saving joy
Oh joy, joy, joy in my soul
Joy, joy, joy in my soul oh

He sent from up above
This special gift of love
More precious than silver or gold
He was sent this holiday
To take our pain away

Repeat Chorus

Go tell it on the mountain
Shout it from a valley
Tell about the baby in swaddling clothes
Men in every nation
Join the celebration

Way down deep joy
Joy, joy, joy
I've got joy
Way down deep inside my soul joy
Unspeakable joy
Joy in my soul

Where do I go?
When there's nobody else to turn to
Who do I talk to?
When nobody wants to listen
Who do I lean on? Oh
When there is no foundation stable
I go to the rock
I know he is able, I go to the rock

Chorus:
I go to the rock of my salvation
I go to the stone that the builders rejected
I run to the mountain
And the mountain he stands by me
When the Earth all around me is sinking sand
On Christ the solid rock I stand
When I need a shelter I go to the rock

Where do I go, where do I go
When the storms of life are threatening
Who do I turn to when those winds of sorrow blow
And is there a refuge in the time of tribulation
Go to the rock, I know he is able
I go to the rock

Repeat Chorus (2X)

I go the rock when I need a friend
I can go to the rock
I go to the rock when I need a shelter
You can go to the rock
You can go to the rock
You can go to the rock
I can go
I go to the rock
I can go to the rock
I can go to the rock
I can go, I can go to the rock
I can go when I need some shelter
When I need a friend
I can go

And when the Earth around me is sinking sand
On Christ the solid rock I stand I can stand
When I need a friend
I go to the rock
I can go to the rock

. . .

Somebody bigger than the Earth is round
Bigger than the saddest frown
Bigger than the brightest smile
And longer than the longest mile

Somebody bigger than the biggest fight
And darker than the darkest night
Bigger than the biggest gun
Cause he's the only shining sun cmon

Who made the mountains
Who made the trees
Who made the rivers that flow out to the seas
And who hung the moon in the starry, starry, starry sky

Chorus:
Somebody bigger
I know I know he's bigger than you and I
My God is bigger
Somebody bigger
He's bigger, he's bigger than you
He's bigger than you

And who writes the songs for the robins to sing uh
And who sends the rain when the Earth is dry

Somebody bigger yeah

Somebody bigger than you and I
Bigger than you and I

He lights the way when road is alone
Keeps me company with love to guide you
He walks beside you just like he walks with me

When I am weary, and filled with despair
Who gives me courage to go on and on and on from there
And who gives me faith
I will never, never, never, never, never doubt
Somebody bigger yeah

Bigger than the tallest tree
Bigger than the deepest sea
Somebody deeper than the desert sands
Bigger than the tallest man
And phatter than the phattest phat
Bigger than the Shaq attack

We all wanna make a place in this world 
We all want our voices to be heard 
Every one wants a chance to be someone 
We all have dreams we need to dream 
Sweeter than any star you can reach 
Cuz when you reach and find, you've found someone 
You'll hold this world's most priceless thing 
The greatest gift this life can bring 
Is when you look back and know 
You were loved 

Chorus: 
You were loved by someone 
Touched by someone 
Held by someone 
Meant something to someone 
Loved somebody 
Touched somebody's heart 
Along the way 
You can look back and say (mm) 
You were loved (yes you were) 

You can have diamonds in your hands 
Have all the riches in the land 
But, without love, 
You don't really have a thing, no no 
When somebody cares that you're alive 
When somebody trusts you with their life 
That's when you'll know (huh) 
That you have all you need 
You'll hold this world's most priceless gift 
The finest treasure that there is 
You can look back and know 
You were loved 

Chorus: 
You were loved by someone 
Touched by someone 
Held by someone 
Meant something to someone 
Loved somebody 
Touched somebody's heart 
Along the way 
You can look back and say (mm) 
Yes, You were loved (yes you were now) 

Bridge: 
So many roads that you can take 
Whatever way you go 
Don't take that road alone 
It's better you should know 

Chorus: 
You were loved by someone 
Touched by someone 
Held by someone 
Meant something to someone 
Loved somebody 
Touched somebody's heart 
Along the way 
You can look back and say (mm) 
You did okay 
You were loved 

So remember to tell that special one (yeah, mm) 
You were loved 
You were loved 
You were loved 
You were loved 

. . .




Who would've thought of it
That I might feel like this
Some kind of wonderful
There's nothing quite comparable

The thing about it is
It's oh so innocent
I wasn't looking for
It came knockin' at my door

I'm trying to do things right
But I'm about to lose this fight
'Cause spending time with you
Well, it feels so good and that's the truth

And every day with you
I swear it brings me closer
to my only reservationis you
My sweet temptation, baby.

Oh, my heart is calling
I'm falling for you
Oh, my heart is calling
I'm falling for you

Who could imagine it
I found my happiness
In someone I barely know
And I like to take it slow

But you're so diferent, boy
You're breaking all my rules
What is it in your smile
that makes me feel the way I do

I'm trying to live my life
And I'm trying to live it right
If I desire you
It ain't because I'm trying to

Boy, everyday with you
I swear it brings me closer to
My only reservation is you,
My sweet temptation, baby

chorus

I've given it consideration (uh huh)
And it all adds up to you
I won't deny this heart is calling for you, baby
I've given it alot of thought (uh huh)
And it all ends up on you
My sweet temptation
God knows I'm falling for you

chorus

Is is in your smile, boy
Is it touch, baby

. . .



Mommies and Daddies always believe 
That their little angels are special indeed
And you could grow up to be anything
But who would imagine a king?

A shepherd or teacher is what you could be
Or maybe a fisherman out on the sea
Or maybe a carpenter building things
But who would imagine a king?

It was so clear when the wise men arrived
And the angels were singing Your name
That the world would be different coz you were alive
That's why heaven stood still to proclaim

One day an angel said quietly
That soon He would bring something special to me
And all of the wonderful gifts He could bring
Who would imagine
Who could imagine
Who would imagine a king?

. . .




Oh he's all
He's all over me
He's keeping me alive
He's all over me

He's in my mind
I am glad am I
He's all over me
The Lord is keeping me alive
I know he is keeping me alive
He's keeping me alive

Like the Hebrew boys
Thrown in the fiery furnace
See everybody thought it was over for them
But the Lord brought them out on time
He's the firm foundation
The God of all creation
There's nothing that he won't do for you
You can trust him, he'll see you through

Repeat Chorus

I want to tell you again
Like the Hebrew boys
They were thrown in the fiery furnace
Everybody thought it was over for them
But the Lord brought them out on time
He's the firm foundation
The God of all creation
There's nothing that he won't do for you
If you trust him he'll see you through

Chorus:
He's all over me
He's all over me
And he's keeping me alive
The boy

He's all over me
And he's keeping me alive
And he'd keeping me alive
He's all over me
All over me
And he's keeping me alive
My Lord is keeping me alive
I know the Lord is keeping me alive
I know he is keeping me alive

He's in my hands and in my feet
I can hardly keep my seat
He's in my spirit and my soul
I will never ever grow old
He's in my heart and in my mind
I'm glad he's mine
He's on the right on the left
Over me over me
On the front and the back
On the right on the left
Over me over me
On the front and the back
On the right on the left
Yeah yeah

Chorus:
He's all over me
He is keeping me alive
He's all over me
He's all over me
And he's keeping me alive
My Lord is keeping me alive
He's all over me
I'm so glad that he is
And he's keeping me alive
He's keeping me alive
I know he is
I know the Lord is keeping me

. . .
