1.In a Little While
Lyrics:Amy Grant/Gary Chapman
Music:Brown Bannister/Shane Keister
Got a ticket coming home.
Wish the officer had known
What a day today has been.
Then I stumbled through the door
Dropping junk mail on the floor.
When will this day end?
But then your letter caught my eye
Brought the hope in me to life.
Cauase you know me very well.
And I bet you wrote me just to tell me
Chorus:
In a little while
We'll be with the Father.
Can'y you see Him smile?
In a little while,
We'll be home forever,
In a while.
we're just here
To learn to love Him.
We'll be home
In just a little while.
Boy, that letter hit the spot.
Made me think of all I've got
And all that waits for me.
Guess I've known it all day long.
Wonder where my thoughts went wrong.
When will my heart believe?
Wakin' half-way through the night,
Reachin' toward the lamp for light.
Pickin' up the Word I find.
Here's another letter to remind me
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
Days like these are just a test of our will
Will we walk or will we fall?
Well, I can almost see the top of the hill
And I believe it's worth it all
2.I Have Decided
Lyrics:Michael Card
Music:Michael Card
Chorus:
I have decided
I'm gonna live like a believer.
Turn my back on the deceiver.
I'm gonna live what I believe.
I have decided
Being good is just a fable.
I just can't, cause I'm not able.
I'm gonna leave it to the Lord.
There's a wealth of things that I profess
I said that I believed.
But deep inside, I never changed.
I guess I'd been deceived.
Cause a voice inside kept telling me
That I'd change by and by.
but the Spirit made it clear to me
That kind of life's a lie.
Repeat Chorus
So forget the game of being good
And your self-righteous pain.
Cause the only good inside your heart
Is the good that Jesus brings.
When the world begins to see you change,
Don't expect them to applaud.
Just keep your eyes on Him and tell yourself
I've become the work of God!
Repeat Chorus
3.I Love a Lonely Day
Lyrics:Gary Chapman
Music:Michael W.Smith
T.V.'s off at 1:00 a.m.,
One more day alone again.
The road gets longer everyday.
Why'd I have to get away?
But I have found a comfort here.
Solitude can be so dear.
Loneliness is not so blue
When it puts my mind on you.
Chorus:
I love a lonely day.
It makes me think of you.
All alone, I can easily find your love.
I love a lonely day.
It chases me to you.
It clears my heart,
Lets my very best part shine through.
It's you.
Lonely people everywhere,
Lucky, lonely ones who care.
You've got all you need and more,
Someone to be lonely for.
Someone cries for you to hear.
Take your heart and wipe their tear.
Give them someone they can miss.
Give them love and sing them this.
Repeat Chorus
4.Don't Run Away
Lyrics:Gary Chapman/Amy Grant
Music:Gary Chapman/Amy Grant
Tell me, does your head keep turnin'
From the feelings churnin' deep inside of you?
Tell me, when your mind is racin',
Are the things you're chasin' worth your while?
Well, tell me, don't you ever question
Why you're always guessin' reasons for your life?
Listen, there's no need to waiver.
Long ago the savior died for you, so
Chorus:
Don't run away;
You're headed nowhere.
Keep up the pace,
You're gonna go there.
You'll fell alone.
Who do you know there?
Please turn back now.
Don't run away;
He wants your heart now.
Hear what I say,
And play it smart now.
Wise up today
And give Him all of your love.
Tell me, does the fear of losin'
Keep your heart from choosin' who has hold of you?
Tell me, have you felt a yearnin',
Deep inside a burnin' need for love now?
Tell me, can you sense the fightin'?
Hate is now igniting fear of love in you.
Listen, God is still here waitin'
He'll remove the hating part of you, so
Repeat Chorus
5.Fat Baby
Written:Steve Millikan/Rod Robinson
I know a man,
Maybe you know him, too.
You never can tell,
He might even be you.
He knelt at the altar
And that was the end.
He's saved and that's all
That matters to him.
His spiritual tummy,
It can't take too much.
One day a week,
He gets his spiritual lunch.
On Sunday he puts on
His spiritual best
And gives his language
A spiritual rest.
Chorus:
(He's just a fat)
He's just a fat little baby.
He wants his bottle
And he don't mean maybe.
He's sampled solid food
Once or twice.
But he says doctrine
Leaves him cold as ice.
He's been baptized, sanctified,
Redeemed by the blood.
But his daily devotions
Are stuck in the mud.
He knows the books of the Bible,
And John 3:16
He's got the biggest King James
you've ever seen.
I've always wondered
If he'll grow up someday.
He's mamma's boy,
And he likes it that way.
if you happen to see him,
Tell him I said
He'll never grow,
If he never gets fed.
Repeat Chorus
He's just a fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fat
A fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fat,
A fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, little baby.
6.Sing Your Praise to the Lord
Lyrics:Richard Mullins
Music:Richard Mullins
Chorus:
Sing your praise to the Lord.
Come on everybody,
Stand up and sing one more hallelujah.
Give your praise to teh Lord.
I can never tell you
Just how much good that it's
Gonna do you just to
Sing anew
The song your heart learned to sing
When He first gave His life to you.
The life goes on and so must the song.
You gotta sing again
The song born in your soul
When you first gave your heart to Him.
Sing His praises once more.
Repeat Chorus
Sing aloud
The song that someone is dying to hear,
Down in the madd'ning crowd
As you once were before you heard the song.
You gotta let them know
The truth is alive to shine upon the way
So maybe they can go
Sing your praises once more
Repeat Chorus
Let the name of the Lord be praised,
Both for now and evermore,
Praise him, oh, you servants
Give your
Repeat Chorus
Sing, sing sing
Come on
Sing, sing, sing,
I can hear you now
Sing, sing, sing.
7.El-Shaddai
Lyrics:Michael Card
Music:John Thompson
Chorus:
El-Shaddai, El-Shaddai
(God Almighty, God Almighty)
El-Elyon na Adonai
(God in the highest, Oh, Lord)
Age to age, You're still the same
By the power of the name.
El-Shaddai, El-Shaddai
(God Almighty, God Almighty)
Erkamka na Adonai
(We will love You, Oh, Lord)
We will praise and lift You high
El-Shaddai
(God Almighty)
Through Your love
And through the ram,
You saved the son
Of Abraham.
Through the power
Of Your hand,
Turned the sea
Into dry land.
To the outcast
On her knees,
You were the God
Who really sees.
And by Your might,
You set Your children free.
Repeat Chorus
Through the years,
You made it clear,
That the time of Christ
Was near,
Though the people
Couldn't see
What Messiah ought to be.
Though Your Word
Contained the plan,
They just could not understand,
Your most awesome work was done
Though the frailty of Your son.
Repeat Chorus
8.Raining on the Inside
Lyrics:Kathy Troccoli/Amy Grant
Music:Kathy Troccoli/Amy Grant
When all goodbyes are said and done.
And nighttime finds you home,
Are you alright to spend a night
Of being all alone?
Or do you hide between the lines
Of conversations past?
A wall of words, a heart unheard.
That hides behind a mask.
Chorus:
I'm raining on the inside
My heart wells up with tears that start to pour.
I'm raining on the inside.
But Your cries of love break through
And I fall in love with You once more.
When friends who care can't be there
To ease away my pain,
And peace of mind is hard to find
Like sunlight in the rain,
God sees my heart, the deepest part
Inside this lonely me
And reachin' in, His love begins
To heal the heart in me.
Repeat Chorus
9.Got to Let it Go
Lyrics:Gary Chapman/Amy Grant
Music:Gary Chapman/Amy Grant
Music:Brown Bannister, Shane Keister, and Michael W. Smith
All my lifetime plans
Got' em in my hands
Balancing my fate upon a wire.
Got to let it go.
Everywhere I turn I see
There's nowhere left to go.
All my dreams are far
Too much for me to hold.
Still I hate to drop them.
Weren't they from you?
What did I do?
You alone can see
Into the heart of me.
Am I really givin' up tomorrow?
Got to let it go.
This is gonna hurt a little,
Still it's right I know.
Even though I fear
Too much of me might show.
I can't wait any longer for it.
I've had enough.
I'll give it up.
Chorus:
Lord, here's my heart, I've been keepin' it from you
And I've got to let it go.
Holdin' on just brings me worry.
Got to let it go.
Come and take it from me, hurry.
Got to let it go.
Got to let it go.
Got to give up all of my control.
Holdin' on too tight.
Where do I loses sight?
Where's the line that seems to bring frustration?
Got to let it go.
The best of dreams can turn to nightmares
When my heart takes hold.
How long must I learn?
This lesson's getting old.
I've got to catch a clearer vision.
I'm in your hand.
You're in command.
10.Arms of Love
Written:Gary Chapman/Michael W.Smith/Amy Grant
Lord, I'm really glad you're here.
Hope You feel the same
When You see all my fear
And how I fail.
I fall sometimes.
It's hard to walk in shifting sand.
I miss the rock and find
I've nowhere left to stand.
I start to cry
Lord, please help me.
Raise my hand, so You can pick me up.
Hold me close, hold me tighter.
Chorus:
I have found a place where I can hide.
It's safe inside
Your arms of love.
Like a child who's held throughout a storm,
You keep me warm
In Your arms of love.
Storms will come and storms will go
Wonder just how many storms
It takes until I finally know.
You're here always.
Even when my skies are far from gray,
I can stay.
Teach me to stay there.
Repeat Chorus
