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

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

Though many dangers,toils and snares
I have already come
'Tis grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home

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
Was blind but now I see

(bebe)
took some time to come around
realize how I let you down
been to late for sorry now
my pride got in the way, yes it did
(joe)
I thought I had it all figured out
I needed time away to work it out
and now that I've learned what it's all about
and all I need is you in my life

(chorus)
so I'm coming back home
home, where love is waiting for me
been gone much too long
this is where I want to be
so I'm coming home, coming home
cuz home is where I belong

(brian)
somehow I lost my way
mistakes I made I have to pay
It hurts to know still today
that I wasted so much time
(bebe)
and after all is said and done
there's more to life than having fun
ain't no doubt, you're the one
and all I need is you in my life

(chorus)

(brian)
just to be in your arms is like heaven to me
your love, your love is all that I need
(bebe)
so I'm coming back home
and I hope you forgive all my wrong

so I'm coming home, coming home
cuz home is where I belong

(chorus)x2

Did you ever know that you were patient, thoughtful?
Did you ever know that you were everything that I need?
Everyone needs to have that someone to listen, laugh with, company
Did you know that you were this to me?
Did you know that you were this to me?

Did you ever know that you were awfully inviting?
Did you ever know that you were everything I hoped to be?
Everyone needs to have that someone to lean on, cry with in time of need
Did you know that you were this to me?
Did you know that you were this to me?

Just like the birds take to air, the wind holds them there
Safe and lovely across the sky
That's what you did for my heart, right from the start
Did you know that you were this to me?
Did you know that you were this to me?

Did you ever know, you're not just a hero?
You have always been there and always will be
Since the moment we met, your love just can't forget
Did you know that you were this to me?
Did you know that you were this to me?

Just like the birds take to air, the wind holds them there
Safe and lovely across the sky
That's what you did for my heart, right from the start
Did you know that you were this to me?
Did you know that you were this to me?

Time I spend with You
Makes me feel that I can do
The impossible, yeah

It's the little things You see
That mean so much to me
Makes You incredible, yes it does

I don't know how I ever lived without You
You mean everything to me, now

Everyday I'm living my life to please You, yes
In every way 'cause I want You to know
I love and need You

In my heart I'm singing Your praises
Every beat and every part, 'cause I want You to know
And show how much I do
'Cause I do

Hard to concede and at times I still believe
That I'm dreamin', dreamin'
Turn my sky from gray
Then You wipe my tears away
And gave me reason, yes You did

I don't know how I ever lived without You
You mean all the world to me
That's why

Everyday I'm living my life to please You, yes
In every way, 'cause I want You to know
That I love and need You

In my heart I'm singing Your praises
Every beat and every part, 'cause I want You to know
And show how much I do
'Cause I do

My love, I pledge to You
The happiness I long for
Has come true

And if ever I've been sure of any one thing
It's here and now
When I knew no one could love me
You found a way somehow
That's why

Everyday I'm living my life to please You, yes
In every way, 'cause I want You to know
I love and need You

In my heart I'm singing Your praises
Every beat and every part, 'cause I want You to know
I love and need You

Everyday I'm living my life to please You, yes
In every way, 'cause I want You to know

Everyday I'm living my life to please You, yes
In every way, 'cause I want You to know

In my heart I'm singing Your praises
Every beat and every part, 'cause I want You to know
And show how much I do
'Cause I really really do

Time I spend with You
Makes me feel that I can do
The impossible, yea

Everything must change
Nothing stays the same
Everyone will change
No one stays the same

The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
‘Cause that’s the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged

There are not many things in live
You can be sure of, except
Rain comes from the clouds
Sun lights up the sky
And hummingbirds do fly

Winter turns to spring
A wounded heart will heal
But never much too soon
Yes everything must change

The young become the old
And mysteries do unfold
‘Cause that’s the way of time
Nothing and no one goes unchanged

There are not many things in life
You can be sure of, except

(Instrumental)

Except, (rain comes from the clouds)
(Sun lights up the sky)
(And hummingbirds to fly)
(Rain comes from the clouds)
(Sun lights up the sky) Ooh
(And hummingbirds to fly) Hummingbirds do fly
Um rain comes from the clouds (Rain comes from the clouds)
And sun lights up the sky (Sun lights up the sky)
And hummingbirds do fly (And Hummingbirds do fly)
I know rain (Rain comes from the clouds)
I know sun (Sun lights up the sky)
And music makes me cry

Everyone knows wherever I go
You`re all I think about
You`re all I talk about
whatever I do, it`s all about you
You`re all I want to see
only want to be with you

you love me, you love me
given me a heart a new
that is why I know it`s true

(chorus) never gonna get, never will I ever get you off my mind
the only one I want to give all my time
never gonna get, never will I get you off my mind
you`re everything to me

tomorrow will be, heaven for me
you`re all I dream about
there`s nothing to change about
my heart welcomes you
so stay until time is through
don`t ever say goodbye
never ever leave my side

you love me, you love me
given me a heart a new
that is why I know it`s true

(repeat chorus)

and I want to say oh yeah
anything you want from me, oh yeah
everything you ask of me, oh yeah
you know that I`m willing
you gave me what I longed for
when I needed so much loving

I said help is on the way
So don't give up
Keep on believin'
Just when it seems all over
Help is on the way

To all the mothers
Fighting danger, all night
That plagued your children

Born to conquer
Who's down and wounded
Know that help is on the way

So don't give up
Keep on believin'
Just gotta keep believin'
Just when it seems all over
Say, help is on the way

Tell all the teachers
And all the preachers, all night
To all God's creatures
Know that help is on the way

And I know you're tired
Of trying to piece through all
No, no it's not easy
But help is, yes it's on the way

And God knows you're hurting, yes you are
For something and someone
Please don't give up on waitin'
'Cos help is, yes it's on the way

Don't give up
Don't, don't give up
And keep on believin'
Just gotta keep believin'
'Cos just when it seems all over
Say, help is on the way

Say, yes say
I gotta keep on, don't stop no
Hey, just say, help is on the way

So to all the lovers
And all the haters
To all who have faith
Know that help is on the way

So don't give up, no no
And keep on believin'
Just gotta keep believin'
But just when it seems all over
Say, help is on the way

So don't give up
You gotta keep going, gotta keep going
Keep on believin', just gotta keep believin'
Just when it seems all over
Say, help is on the way

Don't give up

Yes it is now

Don't give up
Ain't no matter, I keep on believin'
Just gotta keep believin'
Know that it seems all over
When help is on the way

Don't give up

Often we live for tomorrow
When all we really have is just today

Where did the joy turn into sorrow
How did we let it all slip away

I never ever meant to hurt you
And even time can undo what's been done

How do we mend a broken heart
How do we find a place to start

How can we learn to trust each other
How do we wipe away the tears

Or just walk away from all the years
Or can we put it back together

Asking down on bended knees
How do we...

Seems like a hopeless situation
If no one forgives no one wins

Beyond the pain is our salvation
A change of mind change of heart change within

I miss your touch an conversation
I miss your simple smile when I awake

How do we mend a broken heart
How do we find a place to start

How can we learn to trust each other
How do we wipe away the tears

Or just walk away from all the years
Or can we put it back together

Asking down on bended knees
How do we...

How do we say goodbye when good bye is
What I don't want to tell you

But how do we bring down all these walls
How can I leave when I still love you

To be happy again would be worth it all

How do we mend a broken heart
How do we find a place to start

How can we learn to trust each other
How do we wipe away the tears

Or just walk away from all the years
Or can we put it back together

Asking down on bended knees
How do we...

Asking down on bended knees
How do we...

Down on bended knees
How do we...

Five score years ago a Great American sign and proclaimed you know
The Emancipation that brought a beacon light of hope
to plenty of slaves who had been seared called Negroes
The flame of injustice and now a hundred years have passed and now today we must face the true tragic facts
The Negro is still not free and though impossible it seems…"I Have A Dream"

The Constitution reads and gives the promise that all men be guaranteed
pursuit of happiness, pride of life and liberty
a check of independence cash and decree.
But it is obvious America’s at fault,
default on its promises gave citizens of all
And now we must demand our right to be free
‘cause I have a dream.

I have dream. A dream that one day
Black boys and black girls will join hands
White boys and girls and we’ll stand sisters and brothers.
Yes I have dream. A dream that one day,
mountains and hills be made low
And all the world is told the crooked’s been made straight. Till His glory is seen….
"I have a dream"

To overlook the urgency,
it would be fatal to deny equality.
The autumn of freedom the year of 1963,
but a beginning of the end of will be.
But there is something I must say to my people.
Who stand on the threshold into the palace where we go.
Let’s not be guilty of violence and wrong deeds.
'Cause I have a dream.

I have dream. A dream that one day
This nation will rise up and see
the truth of this creed and equal all men will be.
I have a dream. A dream that one day,
With a new meaning we will sing,
"My country ‘tis of thee, sweet land of liberty."
Freedom will ring, will ring, cause I have a dream.

MLK: And if America is to be a great nation, this must become true. So let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New Hampshire. Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York. Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania! Let freedom ring from the snowcapped Rockies of Colorado! Let freedom ring from the curvaceous peaks of California! But not only that; let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia! Let freedom ring from Lookout Mountain of Tennessee! Let freedom ring from every hill and every molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring.

I have dream. A dream that one day
Black boys and black girls will join hands
White boys and girls and we’ll stand sisters and brothers.

Yes! I have dream. A dream, a dream that one day mountains and hills be made low
And all the world is told the crooked’s been made straight. Till His glory is seen…. I have a dream.

Freedom will ring, cause I have a dream.
Though it impossible it seems. I have a dream.

MLK: “Sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave-owners will be able to sit down together at a table of brotherhood. I have a dream!
When all of God's children, black men and white men, Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, "Free at last! free at last! thank God Almighty, we are free at last!" My four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream today!

Yes I see you cryin'
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

And I feel your broken heart

(My lord you too)

You can have the best of life

You will gladly see
I'm all you need

I wanna be the only one to hold you
(protect you from the rain)

I wanna be the only one to soothe you
(erase all the pain)

I wanna be the only one to love you, love you

(BeBe Winans)
How do I know this is love?
Can someone guarantee it's real?
Could this end up like before?
A wave goodbye and out the door
I still believe the words you say
Take the risk my heart could pay
It's you I need, you are the cure
There's no mistake this time I'm sure
Chorus:
'Cause if you say I can
Then I know I will
If you say you love me, then it's so
If you say, if you say, if you say
Time and chance happens to all
You somehow heard my silent call
I waited here beside my tears
A sure companion through these years
Shower down just like the rain
You be the healing for my pain
All I need is just to hear
The words "I Love You" in my ear
Chorus
So tell me it's for always
Tell me we're forever
Tell me goodbyes just won't be
If you say, if you say, if you say
It makes the difference
If you say, if you say, if you say...

(BeBe Winans, Rhett Lawrence, Margaret Bell-Byars)
Undying love you've given to me
Seen in me things I would never have seen
I don't understand why you care so much, it's all a mystery
Time and time again I ask myself
What have I done to deserve such wealth
The price you paid, I could never repay your generosity
Chorus:
In wanting to save me
In order to save the day
Because of love you placed yourself
In harm's way
It's truly beyond me
Left without a word to say
What kind of love would place itself
In harm's way?
What kind of love would place itself
In harm's way?
When I was down you came and lifted me
When I was bound, yes, you set me free
Things that you do makes it clear to see
It's all a master plan
Oh, no greater love that I've come to know
And when I refuse, you still love me so
With open arms you came and rescued me
And erased all the pain, yes all the pain
Chorus
What kind of love would place itself
And risk your life for love's sake?
What kind of love just takes on all the blame?
It seems to be so easy
It hurts sometimes but you never let go
You will to love in spite of all you know
You know, you know
Chorus

Where can I start, where do I begin?
I feel the need to explain
I'll be the first to say life is good
But first let me tell you my pain
I've been around the world
Searching for love
And right before I came to my end
I can remember...
Chorus:
You came and knocked at my door
With words I heard once before
Just who you are is still unclear
Knowing one day you will leave
To my surprise and relief

Love was the reason you came here
This song I sing is no fairy tale
It's full of truth and it's real
I've made bad choices, I've made mistakes
Got no more time for cheap thrills
I've been around the world
Chasing true love
And right before I came to my end
I can remember...
Chorus
And now everything is so good
And right now everything is just fine
And when I'm faced with troubles
I can always lean on you
Chorus
And now my life is good because of you
You've changed my world and made it new
And now I know it's true
'Cause, love was the reason you came here

It's imperative, i know that you know
all the secrets and lies that were told
My indescretions have caused you much pain, can't imagine the hurt and the shame

But you still( love me anyway 2x)
love me, didnt turn and walk away
You Still(love me anyway 2x)
loved me anyway

I have heard that true love suffers long, inspite of all the things i've done wrong
with every reason you chose not to leave
this very action has caused me to see

That You still
(love me anyway 2x)
love me, didnt turn and walk away
You Still(love me anyway 2x)
loved me anyway

Love can be hard but you say it's easy right frome the start I never felt this way before, can't find the words to say how much I love you let's try with every breath i breathe and every beat of my heart

isn't it funny how time tells the truth about the teasr we have cried caused by you, live in a world where every thing yes, must change except the one simple fact that remains

You still
(love me anyway 2x)
love me, didnt turn and walk away
You Still(love me anyway 2x)
loved me anyway
