You Light Up My Life
(Joe Brooks)
Curb Songs (ASCAP)/PolyGram Int'l Publishing Inc. (ASCAP)
 
So many nights I'd sit by my window
Waiting for someone to sing me his song
So many dreams I kept deep inside me
Alone in the dark but now you've come along

And you light up my life
You give me hope to carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song

Rollin' at sea adrift on the waters
Could it be finally I'm turning for home
Finally a chance to say "Hey, I Love You"
Never again to be all alone

And you light up my life
You give me hope to carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song

You, You light up my life
You give me hope to carry on
You light up my days
And fill my nights with song
It can't be wrong when it feels so right
'Cause you, you light up my life

Some say love it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed

Some say love it is a hunger
An endless, aching need
I say love it is a flower
And you it's only seed

It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance

It's the one who won't be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dying
That never learns to live

And the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong

Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snow
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes a rose

Bridge Over Troubled Waters
(Paul Simon)
Paul Simon Music (BMI)
 
When you're weary feelin' small
When tears are in your eyes I will dry them all
I'm on your side, oh, when times get rough
And friends just can't be found

Like a bridge over troubled waters
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled waters
I will lay me down

When you're down and out, when you're on the street
When evening falls so hard I will comfort you
I'll take your part, oh when darkness comes
And pain is all around

Like a bridge over troubled waters
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled waters
I will lay me down

Sail on children, sail on by
Your time has come to shine, all their dreams are on their way
See how they shine, oh when you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind

Like a bridge over troubled waters
I will ease your mind
Like a bridge over troubled waters
I will ease your mind
I'll ease your mind

I Believe
(J. Shirl, A. Stillman, E. Drake, I Graham)
TRO-Hamshire House Publishing Corp. (ASCAP)
 
I believe for every drop of rain that falls
A flower grows
I believe that somewhere in the darkest night
A candle glows

I believe for everyone who goes astray
Someone will come to show the way
I believe
Oh, I believe

I believe above the storm
The smallest prayer will still be heard
I believe that someone in that great somewhere
Hears every word

Every time I hear a newborn baby cry
Or touch a leaf
Or see the sky
Then I know why I believe

Every time I hear a newborn baby cry
Or touch a leaf
Or see the sky
Then I know why I believe

Ten Thousand Angels Cried
(David Patillo)
Heartwire Music (BMI)
 
Stillness filled the Heavens on crucifixion day
Some say it rained, I don't know if it's true
Well, I can just imagine ten thousand angels cried
That would seem like rain to me and you

The angels all stood ready to take Him from the tree
They waited for the words from His voice
And when he asked the father why has thou forsaken me
They watched the saviour die of his own choice

I've never seen ten thousand angels cry
But I'm sure they did
As they stood by
And watched the saviour die

God turned his head away
He couldn't bear the sight
It must have looked like rain
When ten thousand angels cried

As the sun slipped away
The skies turned to grey
And when Jesus gave his all
That's when the tears began to fall

I've never seen ten thousand angels cry
But I'm sure they did
As they stood by
And watched the saviour die.

God turned his head away
He couldn't bear the sight
It must have looked like rain
When ten thousand angels cried

It must have looked like rain
When ten thousand angels cried

Clinging To A Saving Hand
(Bill Mack)
Road Ahead Music (BMI)
 
Sing me a song of praise and glory
Help this wandering child to understand
That when I close my eyes in sleep eternal
I'll be clinging to a saving hand

I want you to sing to me about the rock of ages
And sing about eternity so sweet
So that when I take my last breath of life
I'll awaken at my saviour's feet

I want you to tell me about Paul and Matthew
And sing about my dear saviour's birth
And tell about his trials and tribulations
While he walked upon his heathen Earth

Come on and sing me a song of praise and glory
Help this wandering child to understand
That when I close my eyes in sleep eternal
I'll be clinging to a saving hand
I'll be clinging to a saving hand

On The Side Of Angels
(Gary Burr, Gerry House)
Red Brazos Music, Inc. (BMI)/House Notes Music (BMI)
 
I've never been so certain, I've never been sure
We're on the side of angels
If we believe this love is pure

Is it so hard to trust it
'Cause we've been wrong before
There comes a time in every life
We find the heart we're waiting for

After all the might-have-beens
The close and distant calls
After all the try-agains
Don't be afraid to fall
We're on the side of angels after all

Every time you touch me
Don't you feel it too
The gentle hand that's guiding us
You to me, me to you

After all the might-have-beens
The close and distant calls
After all the try-agains
Don't be afraid to fall
We're on the side of angels after all

Heaven only knows
Why this took so long
But only Heaven knows
A love is right or wrong

After all the might-have-beens
The close and distant calls
After all the try-agains
Don't be afraid to fall
We're on the side of angels
On the side of angels
On the side of angels, after all

I Know Who Holds Tomorrow
(Ira F. Stanphill)
©1950 Singspirations Music (ASCAP)
 
I don't know about tomorrow
I just live from day to day
And I don't borrow from the sunshine
'Cause the skies might turn to grey

And I don't worry about the future
'Cause I know what Jesus said
And today I'm gonna walk right beside him
'Cause he's the one who knows what is ahead

There are things about tomorrow
That I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand

And each step is getting brighter
As the golden stairs I climb
And every burden is getting lighter
And all the clouds, their silver line

And I'll bet the sun it's always shining
And no tears will ever dim the eye
And the ending of the rainbow
Where the mountains, they touch the sky

There are many things about tomorrow
I don't seem to understand
But I know who holds tomorrow
And I know who holds my hand.
Yes I know who holds my hand

How Do I Live (Extended Mix)
(Diane Warren)
Realsongs (ASCAP)
 
How do I,
Get through the night without you
If I had to live without you
What kind of life would that be
Oh, I, I need you in my arms, need you to hold
You're my world, my heart, my soul
If you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything good in my life,

And tell me now
How do I live without you
I want to know
How do I breathe without you, if you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live

Without you, there'd be no sun in my sky
There would be no love in my life
There'd be no world left for me
And I, baby I don't know what I would do
I'd be lost if I lost you
If you ever leave
Baby you would take away everything real in my life,

And tell me now
How do I live without you
I want to know
How do I breathe without you, if you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live

Please tell me baby
How do I go on, if you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything
I need you with me
Baby don't you know that you're everything
Real in my life

And tell me now
How do I live without you
I want to know
How do I breathe without you, if you ever go
How do I ever, ever survive
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live
How do I live without you
How do I live without you baby

Amazing Grace
Acapella
 
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see

'Twas grace that taught my heart to feel
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Then when we first begun

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see

National Anthem
Acapella
 
Oh say can you see,
By the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed,
At the twilight's last gleaming?

Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
Through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched,
Were so gallantly streaming.

And the rocket's red glare,
The bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night,
That our flag was still there.

Oh say does that star spangled banner yet wave,
O'er the land of the free, and the home of the brave.
