On The Road

(Verse 1)
Been around the world dreaming
Never lost that touch or feeling
I’m on my way back home
On my way back home
Hands on ten and two just leaning
Windows down the fresh air breathing
I’m on my way back home
On my way back home from this journey
(Chorus)
Remember all the days in the sunlight
Cruising down the river, the long drives
Sweet summer notion, a pure high
Everything is just all right
Everything is just all right
I’m on the road
(Verse 2)
Make my turn right
Working my career
The sunset’s fading across my rearview mirror
I’m on my way back home
On my way back home
Speed 7-0, as fast as I should go
Cruise control on my Chrysler and my soul
I’m on my way back home
On my way back home and I’m learning
(Bridge)
One day we’re gonna make it and I won’t stop
Till we get there
One day we’re gonna smile at all the stops
That was just temporary
One day were gonna make it and I won’t stop
Till we get there, you and me
One day we’re gonna smile at all the stops
That we had to share

Pour Out Love
06:39
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
Come on love
Wake your heart
See the need
Be the start
Come on hope
Lend a hand
Stretch your arms wide
Like the Rio Grande
(Chorus)
Pour out love
Pour out love
Come on and pour out love
Let your river run wild and free
Pour out love
Pour out love
Come on and pour out love
Be the change that you’re wanting to see
(Verse 2)
Come on peace
Let’s make amends
Move the humble
Up ahead
Come on grace
Shape us men
Take our weakness
Make us strong instead
(Bridge)
High on the mountain
Low in the valley
Deep through the canyons
Down every road
Way past the pine trees
There’s no place that I would not go
Just to sing your love
Let the whole world know
(Verse 3)
Come on faith
Take your stand
Let your song ring
Through this land
Come on soul
Sing His praise
Sing it louder
Unashamed

Best Things In Life
04:47
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
The best things in life
Are the ones you wait for
A love you can’t pay for
The time at hand
The best things in life
Are always shared with a loved one
To laugh and cry with someone
Who understands
(Chorus)
I’ve never seen the righteous forsaken
I’ve never seen His son begging bread
I’ve learned to live by counting my blessings
Take a deep breath in
See the sun rise again
(Verse 2)
My baby she holds
Time in the palm of her hands
Just one smile and I don’t stand a chance
When she looks at me
A heart that is full
Will never let society rule
We all have a purpose I’m sure in this land
(Bridge)
To be grateful my friend
I’m grateful my friend
(Verse 3)
There is a call
A song to awaken us all
We don’t have to rise and fall
Just to understand
To leave your own mark
Give away all your heart
Every piece and every part
And then you do it again

Thank You

|
(Verse 1)
It’s been a long time coming around
Yes, I’ve been on my way
Ever since your hand reached on down
And put a smile back on my face
To all my friends, all my friends, all my friends
Who helped back, back up, up again
(Chorus)
Don’t know where I’d go
Don’t know what I’d do
Can’t say that I’d be standing here now without you
What would I have done
Without someone like you
All I wanna say now
All I wanna say is thank you
(Verse 2)
When my mind couldn’t take much more
And I could not find escape
How your love it reached on down
And your hands they rescued me
To all my kin, all my kin, all my kin
Who picked me up, back up, up again
(Bridge)
And I really love you
And I’m thinking of you
And I want you to know
(Bridge 2)
To my mother, to my father
To my sisters, to my brothers
To my friends who know just where I’ve been
Thank you
God knows I couldn’t make it on my own
He gave me someone like you to believe in
Thank you

So Long
04:27
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
So long, so long
I’m not thinking of you anymore
Not thinking of you anymore, so long
The weight is off my shoulder
I’m not wearing you any longer, so long
(Verse 2)
I’m gone, I’m gone
The best is yet ahead of me
The best is yet in front of me, I’m gone
With my ear up to the shell
Take another chance, might as well, I’m gone
(Chorus)
Hurt had it’s time
But the best in us, it survived
Storms filled the night
But like the early bird upon first flight
Comes a song, hope’s song
(Verse 3)
So long, so long
Love it has delivered me
Love it has set me free, so long
Life is so worth living
I’ve got a lot of good to be giving, so long
(Bridge)
Take this sand
Take this sand
Take it in the palm of your hands
Let it go
Just let go of it all
Never to be sifted again
(Bridge 2)
I’m in the wind yeah

My Jesus
03:22
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
Hello out there, how ya doing my friend
You may stop to listen, wonder who I am
Please do me the honor and give me the chance
To sing to you ladies and gentlemen
(Chorus)
Let me tell you about a love
Can I tell you about a love
So graceful and easy
So peaceful it frees me
Let me tell you about a love
Can I tell you about a love
He’s a friend you can run to
My Jesus
(Verse 2)
Did you wake up this morning, did you climb out of bed
Is your heart a little heavy from the disappointments?
Have you spent your days running from what the preacher man said
Well then, allow me the honor to introduce you again
(Bridge)
With more than enough
With more than enough
His arms they can hold you
His word you can trust
With more than enough
With more than enough
He’s a friend you can run to
My Jesus

I'm Ok With Me
03:54
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
See the pictures on the wall
So many good times to recall
Praise the Lord for what He’s blessed
My heart’s so full of thankfulness
(Verse 2)
I’ve learned to run, I’ve learned to crawl
To pick myself up when I fall
Winning takes a lot of steps
And I must admit, I’m not there yet, but…
(Chorus)
I’m ok with me
I’m ok with me
There’s one thing I know
I gotta long way to go
But I’m ok with me
(Verse 3)
I’ve seen where unforgiveness leads
How bitterness can plant it’s seed
Life can put you through a test
We’ve all handled shame and held regret
(Verse 4)
Wisdom taught me through the years
Shame it yelled out “disappear!”
Faith it led me back to love
Now I’m not that man that I once was
(Bridge)
I’m holding on
Still holding on
Been holding on

If The Road Gets Hard
05:38
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
Just the other day I remember
I was walking home from school
Cutting through the corners of the fields
Dreaming of tomorrow
(Verse 2)
Youth was in my hands
I could breathe the mountains around me
Didn’t matter minutes or the miles
To me, it didn’t take but a while to find
(Chorus)
If the road get hard
Lighten up the load
Set your sights up yonder boy
There’s love you’ve yet to hold
(Verse 3)
Gazing at the sun
Bit of a man now
But why am I here crying out for you
Wresting with reason for my lot
Haven’t I yet giving all I’ve got
(Verse 4)
Suddenly a sweet memory
A stored up prayer Grandma must have said
As I shook the tears came pouring out
And I heard a voice say in the wind
(Bridge)
When I was tired I’d say
What’s the use of trying
What’s the using of trying anymore?
But now I understand it
I’ve never been this close to anyone

Least Of These
05:40
|
|||
|
(Verse 1)
My, my, my, my….
Look what we’ve done
We’ve been running around drawing big crowds
While are brother’s all alone on the corner with his head to the ground
(Verse 2)
My, my, my, my….
How we make a sweet sound
We sing and declare with our hands in the air
But hands are meant to lend one another with tenderness and care
(Pre-Chorus)
And there You are
There You are
(Verse 3)
My, my, my, my…
How we faded away
Speak to my heart
Lead me back home
Give me a heart for the broken and a love for more souls
(Chorus)
As you’ve done to the least of these
So you have done to Me
Hallelujah, hallelujah
Angels they stop to sing
Songs from the heavens ring
Hallelujah, hallelujah
(Bridge)
See the hungry
See the cost
Children thirsty
Treasures tossed
The stranger outside with no home
See the naked
See the poor
The slamming bars
The prison doors
As tears from the sick rea

|
(Verse 1)
You had a way
You had a way about you
Nobody else could love me quite like you
Never a day went by that I did not wonder
How’d I get so lucky now to hold a love like you
(Pre-chorus)
I could never ask for better
Every day graceful like the wind
There’s no treasure
I could measure
That could ever compare
To the love we shared
Oh now darling
We just started
(Chorus)
This is not the end
This is not the end
This is just the beginning of forever
And I’ll see you once again
(Verse 2)
We made the best
Every breath was cherished
The smiles, laughs, the lasting memories
We took a chance
Lived every precious moment
I’m so glad you took my hand
Said yes you’d dance with me
