Jesus You're The One

Come and soften my heart
I know we've been apart
But I need You
Come and fill this empty soul
I want to be made whole
I believe in You.


I believe that no one can
Show me love like the Son of Man
Jesus You're the one
The only one.


Lost without a doubt
And feeling down and out
Oh I need You
I need you to make me smile
It's been such a while
I believe in You.

I believe that no one can

Show me love like the Son of Man

Jesus You're the one

The only one.

With You walking here by my side

There's nowhere left to hide

I still need You

Life is now moving along

I've never been so strong

I believe in You.

I believe that no one can

Show me love like the Son of Man

Jesus You're the one

The only one.

Saturday Night

I’m with my girl on Saturday night

We drink too much and start to fight

She grabs her bag and leaves me there

I’m too drunk to think but I don’t care.

In the queue at the take-away

I close my eyes and begin to pray

Room spins round and I start to sway

The guy frowns and so I say:

I think I’ll have a beef Szechuan

I know I really should have a plan

But 48 with egg fried rice

And a glass o’ red sounds just nice

Walking home with the carry out

I see some yobs and they start to shout

I wonder how they all cope with life

When to me it’s just so much strife.

I’m gonna have my beef Szechuan

I know I really should have a plan

But 48 with egg fried rice

And a glass o’ red sounds just nice

Wandering home through littered streets

It’s not as though I’d ever meet

Another woman as good as you

But if I did what would I do?

We could always have a beef Szechuan

Maybe then I’d have a better plan

But 48 with egg fried rice

And a glass o’ red sounds just nice

I try calling you on the telephone

It rings for ever but I know you’re home

I go to bed and put out the light

It’s been a truly miserable night

I speak to God and apologise

I know he hates it when I tell those lies

I promise to be better if I can

And now I’m gonna lose my beef Szechuan.

I think I’ll have a beef Szechuan

I know I really should have a plan

But 48 with egg fried rice

And a glass o’ red sounds just nice.

The Tightrope of LIfe

I’m telling you straight
That this was my life.
I was living it scared
On the edge of a knife.
This was my life
And I wonder if you;
Are living the same
Balanced there too.
  
     On the tightrope of life
     I was frozen in space
     Too scared to move
     Just trapped in that place.
     On the tightrope of life
     Just glancing around
     I might look up but not down
     From the tightrope of life.

And then I heard
From out of the dross
About the man from above
Who died on the cross.
I’m not really sure
If I’m rich or I’m poor
I couldn’t have guessed
Now I couldn’t care less.

     On the tightrope of life
     Just balancing there
     I hadn’t a hope and
     I hadn’t a prayer
     On the tightrope of life
     Just glancing around
     I might look up but not down
     From the tightrope of life.

I’ve found the love of my life
He’s the man from above
He keeps me sane and
Surrounds me with love.
So now that I’m saved
I’d like to tell you
About the man from above
And the way that is true.

     On the tightrope of life
     I was frozen in space
     Too scared to move
     Just trapped in that place.
     On the tightrope of life
     Just glancing around
     I might look up but not down
     From the tightrope of life.

     On the tightrope of life
     Just balancing there
     I hadn’t a hope and
     I hadn’t a prayer
     On the tightrope of life
     Just glancing around
     I might look up but not down
     From the tightrope of life.

I Believe

I thought it strange
When You changed my name
From Simon and called me Your rock
And when I saw You walk on the lake
That really gave me quite a shock
I know I’ve changed
But there are things that I don’t understand
How can man be God
And God be man?
I can’t conceive
But I believe
Yes I believe.

You said follow me
And feed my flock
With a few fish and some bread
And then I saw You healing the sick
And giving life back to the dead
I know I’ve changed
But there are things that I don’t understand
How can man be God
And God be man?
I can’t conceive
But I believe
Yes I believe.

Now You say You’re going away
And leaving us all behind
You look at me as I beg You to stay
And leave me nowhere to hide
You say that I’ll betray You
And that grieves me deep inside

I know I’ve changed
But there are things that I don’t understand
How can man be God
And God be man?
I can’t conceive
But I believe
Yes I believe.

Keeping The Faith

These are the days
That we talked about
The power’s down
And the world’s blacked out
The prophets told us
Now it’s coming true
So I’ll just keep the faith
While I’m waiting for You

Yes I’ll keep on keeping the faith
It’s not always easy
And it’s not always safe
There are many days
When I could turn back
But I praise You Jesus
‘Cos it’s not faith I lack

We gather our loved ones
And keep them close
And pray to Father,
Son, and Holy Ghost
The end of days
Are coming fast
The water’s low
And the food won’t last

But I‘ll keep on keeping the faith
It’s not always easy
And it’s not always safe
There are many days
When I could turn back
But I praise You Jesus
‘Cos it’s not faith I lack

It’s not as though my faith is blind
I’ve thought it through time after time
My logic’s sound, it will not fade
I’m going to keep on keeping the faith

Yes I‘ll keep on keeping the faith
It’s not always easy
And it’s not always safe
There are many days
When I could turn back
But I praise You Jesus
‘Cos it’s not faith I lack.

Put Your Faith in Christ

Through hard times and dark places
I’ve arrived at God’s oasis
The journey’s hard
The journey’s tough
But I know the Lord
And that’s enough
To get me through another day on earth.

Good times are coming can you feel it?
Don’t let the devil steal it.
You know he’ll try
It’s do or die
Just put your faith in Christ
Good times are coming can you feel it?
Don’t let the devil steal it
He’ll try and win
Don’t let him in
Just put your faith in Christ.

Open your heart and you ought to
Receive streams of living water
Turn it on
Then let it go
At first a trickle
Then a mighty flow
Now you’re ready; so go and soak the earth.

Good times are coming can you feel it?
Don’t let the devil steal it.
You know he’ll try
It’s do or die
Just put your faith in Christ
Good times are coming can you feel it?
Don’t let the devil steal it
He’ll try and win
Don’t let him in
Just put your faith in Christ.

There is a Season

Oh Lord I’m feeling lost
Got a debt, can’t pay the cost
Why do my dreams always fall apart?
I’ve had a lifetime of pain
Tried hard but failed again
Is it any wonder I lose heart?

There is a season to live
And a time for us to die
A season to laugh
And time to cry
There is a season to lose
And a time for us to seek
A season for quiet
And time to speak.

There were times in the past
When I felt I couldn’t last
Another day with all my hurt and shame
And I would wonder why
I was too scared to die
When living seemed to cause me so much pain.

There is a season to live
And a time for us to die
A season to laugh
And time to cry
There is a season for love
And a time for us to cease
A season for war
And time for peace.

It’s hard to understand
When I see prints in the sand
That I’m really safe within your loving care
And then I hear you say
I sent my Son to pay
And I fall to my knees in thankful prayer.

Oh Lord I love the chance
of a time to sing and dance
A time to keep and not to cast away.
There’s a life for us to live
We receive more when we give
And that is why you’ll often hear me say.

There is a season to live
And a time for us to die
A season to laugh
And time to cry
There is a season to lose
And a time for us to seek
A season for quiet
And time to speak

There is a season to live
And a time for us to die
A season to laugh
And time to cry
There is a season for love
And a time for us to cease
A season for war
And time for peace.
