The Music of a baby's
cry
(Never Realized The Music)
I never realized the music
of a baby's cry
I never realized the music
of a tear in my eye
I never realized the music
of a loving hug
I never realized the music
of the rising sun
Here it comes…there it goes
Here it comes again…there
it goes
All of our days are numbered
in a little fine book
Some of us get thousands
some never get a look
The seasons come and the
years they go and it all happens so fast
The sun it rises once again
and one must be our last…Here it comes…there it goes…
Here it comes again…there
is goes
Well I never gave it much
thought
Till I almost lost my child
Never thought I'd hear her
voice
Or get to see her smile
The hospital called "come
quickly, she's not doing well!'
"She may last an hour or
two, it's really hard to tell!"
I prayed to God and told
Him that if He loved her that much
I would accept His will,
all I needed was His touch…
Here it comes…there it goes
Here it comes again…there
it goes
When we arrived at the hospital
we proceeded to scrub down
We covered our hair and
even our shoes and put on a doctor's gown
"But a quarter hour ago
something wonderful we don't understand!
We've taken her off the
life support and put her in God's hands!"
I never realized the music
of a baby's cry
I never realized the music
of a tear in my eye
I never realized the music
of a loving hug
I never realized the music
of the rising sun
Here it comes…there it goes
Here it comes again…there
it goes
Now each and every mornin'
when I rise
I peek in on my children
and kiss and hug my wife
And as I'm driving down
the highway the sun rising in the hills
I thank God for another
day. Now I guess I always will…
I never realized the music
of a baby's cry
I never realized the music
of a tear in my eye
I never realized the music
of a loving hug
I never realized the music
of the rising sun
Here it comes…there it goes
Here it comes again…there
it goes

Got Faith Oh Lord
(Chorus)
I've
got Faith oh Lord, that You are faithful
I've
got faith oh Lord, that You are faithful…
Well
in these times of trials Lord, may I always know that You're with me.
And
in these times of pain oh Lord, may I always know that it's a short time.

Sleep
Tight My Child
Sleep
tight my child. It's all right my child
You
can sleep and know father is near
It
is best my child if you rest my child
Before
you know it the sun will appear
You
are safe in your father's hands
While you sleep you are safe within his plans
You
are safe in your father's arms
There's
no need to cry my child or be alarmed
Sometimes
the night seems long. But if your faith is strong
You
can believe darkness gives way to light
So
trust in what you've heard. For it is your father's word
And
he would not tell you a lie.
(2nd
Chorus)
You
are safe in your Father's hands
While
you sleep you are safe within His plans
You
are safe in your Father's arms
There's
no need to cry my child or be alarmed
In
just a moment the final trump will sound!
And
our Savior will be seen by all from all around!
We'll
be changed in a twinkling of an eye!
And
we'll all meet our Lord together in the sky!
So
sleep tight my child. It's all right my child
You
can sleep and know Father is near.
It
is best my child if you rest my child
Before
you know it the Son will appear
Sometimes
the night seems long but if your faith is strong
You
can believe darkness gives way to Light
So
trust in what you've heard. For it is your Father's word.
And
He would not tell you a lie

chorus)

Forget Me Not
Forget me not she said
Forget me not she cried

Your hands.
Hold my heart Lord, keep
it from breaking
But I have hope Your word
will stand
Hold my heart Lord for it

I place by trust, it in
Your hands.
Hold my heart Lord, keep
it from breaking
Yes I have hope Your word
will stand
Forget you not I vow
Forget you not I say
Forget you not I vow
We'll reunite one day
Hold my heart Lord for it
is aching
I place by trust, it in
Your hands.
Hold my heart Lord, keep
it from breaking
But I have hope Your word
will stand
Hold my heart Lord for it
is aching
I place by trust, it in
Your hands.
Hold my heart Lord, keep
it from breaking
Yes I have hope Your word
will stand

will stand…

God Showed His Love
(Towards Man)
I've heard it asked "does
God really care?"
I've heard it asked "Is
God really there?"
I've heard it asked "Why
must so many die?"
I've heard it asked "Does
God hear our cry?"
(chorus)
God showed His love toward
man through the cross.
God showed His love toward
man, by sending His only Son.
God showed His love toward
man through the cross.
God showed His love toward
man, by sending His only Son.
For God…so loved the world…that
He gave…His only begotten Son…
That whosoever…believes
in Him…will not perish…but have eternal life…
For God…so loved the world…that

A
Special Place
I
went to a special place the other day
I
think I've been there before but where I can't say
There
are very tall trees yet much light still shines through
And
a two-story house with lots of windows too
"I
go prepare… a place for you"
"I
would not tell you this…unless it were true" (John 14:1-4)
In
a downstairs room I saw my daughter sleeping
Her
hair was brown and I could see she was breathing
In
my spirit I knew there were others unseen
Then
I awoke from this dream with these words inside of me…
"I
go prepare… a place for you"
"I
would not tell you this…unless it were true" (John 14:1-4)
Then
I worshipped…
Oh
there is no One like You, sweet Jesus! No One like You, my Savior!
No
there is no One like You, sweet Jesus! No One like You…in all the earth!
In
all the earth…in all the earth…in all the earth…
(Interlude
music with strings, piano, drums, bass, guitars, possibly saxophone, clarinet)
(Many
voices join in after four stanzas by lead vocalist sing the following words
in harmonies)
She
will never come to me again, but I will go to her (2 Samuel 12:22-23)
She
will never come to me again, but I will go to her
She
will never come to me again, but I will go to her
She
will never come to me again, but I will go to her…
one
day…one day…one day…one day…
(At
the ending lead guitar plays the melody that goes with
"I
go prepare a place for you etc. and ends)

God
Wants Us To Be
God
wants us to be what He wants us to be
But
we always want to be what we want
We
hold onto dreams…such selfish dreams
And
forget the Giver of the gifts that we've got
Yet
He loves us…
And
He gives us things that we cannot repay
Can't
understand why it Him we deny
'Cept
we call on Him when we have a bad day
Oh
Lord, why You put up with us,
I'll
never know but I'm sure glad You do!
Thank
You Jesus!
I've
got a life after this 'cause of You!
God
wants us to be what He wants us to be!
Lord
help me to be…what You want!

Examine
Me
I
come before my King
And
lay bear everything
Lord
God please test my heart
Examine
every part
Convict
me of my sins
And
cleanse me within
Brokenness

My
tears are my offering
Because

I

Create

Clean
heart that You can use
And

That
You send from above
Take
all my pride and pain
And
fill me up with Holy rain
Holy
Spirit abide in me
The
Helper from eternity
Guide
my life and make me strong
I'll
not look back…I'll carry on…

I Forgive you!
As we ponder the cross,
I hope we realize the gain
Of what the Lord is offering
us; The complete washing of our stains…
He is the Truth, the Life,
The Way. By His stripes we are healed.
So receive the Light today.
The Love of God has been revealed.
(He is saying)
"I forgive you! I forgive
you!
I forgive you! Come on home!
"I forgive you! I forgive
you!
I forgive you! Come on home!
Oh the Lord knows what you've
done. He even knows what you will do
And yet while you were yet
in sin, He offered His life for you…
There is good news in the
land,"The welcome door is open wide!"
And no one knows when it
will close. This is the message for which He died…
"I forgive you! I forgive
you!
I forgive you! Come on home!
"I forgive you! I forgive
you!
I forgive you! Come on home!
All we like sheep have gone
astray; Turned everyone to his own way
That which was lost can
now be found. Come enter into Joy today!
You might feel you've gone
too far…Or your shame is much too great…
But God's Love covers the
multitudes! Come take His gift of Life today!
"I forgive you! I forgive
you!
I forgive you! Come on home!
"I forgive you! I forgive
you!
I forgive you! Come on home!
And now if you've received
His Love, go to the world and give the same…
The good news message of
the cross, that Jesus called you to proclaim…
The Spirit and the bride
say "come". He who's thirsty, come to Christ!
Won't you come while it's
still day…confess your sins, receive new life!
"I forgive you! I forgive
you!
I forgive you! Come on home!
"I forgive you! I forgive
you!
I forgive you! Come on home!
"Almighty God, He is calling
you!"
He sent His only Son that
you might live!"
