A House Of Gold
Chorus
I had rather be in a dark cold grave, and know that my poor soul was saved,
Than to live in this world in a house of gold, and deny my God and doom my soul.
Then he sung these two other verses:
Jesus said come unto me, Ill break sins chains and set you free,
Ill carry you to a home on high, where youll never never did.
Repeat chorus
Jesus died there on the cross, so this world would not be lost,
Sinner hear now what I say, for someday youll have to pay.

Killing The Blues
Leaves were falling ..just like embers
In colors red and gold they set us on fire
Burning just like a moonbeam ..in our eyes

Somebody said they saw me
Swinging the world by the tail
Bouncing over a white cloud.
Killing the blues
I am guilty of something
I hope you never do because there is nothing
Sadder than losing .. yourself in love

To go out on my own and get what I need to
You want me to find ..what Ive already had

So Fine
Two drifters on the morning sky,
Two drifters sailing wide and high,
When summer breezes blow across your mind,
With you, I will walk the line.
Chorus
I want it so fine
I want it so fine
I want it so fine
People walking hand in hand,
Everybodys singing to the band,
I want to be where the stars shine bright,
And hear sweet music on a summer night.

Sundowners well go on and on,
Well find the land of the midnight sun,
And when you look youll see for miles around,
Youll see, the world is in your hand.

Satisfied
If you ask me if Im happy
For I have peace within
If Im worried about tomorrow
When I reach my journeys end
Im satisfied with my jesus
When he knocks I let him in
Hell go with me through the valley
For I know he is my friend
Chorus:
Satisfied, satisfied
No trouble can ever get me down
When my eyes shall close in death
With my jesus Ill be at rest
Then youll know Im satisfied
When my friends all forsake me
When they turn me from their door
If they sow no seedsof kindness
Make the thorns in my path grow
It wont matter over yonder
When I reach the other side
Im gonna sit down with my jesus
And then youll know Im satisfied

When my eyes shall close in death
With my jesus Ill be at rest
Then youll know Im satisfied

How'd You Get So Rich
If you want to ask me
How'd you get so rich?
I'll tell you the story,
the following of which...
I once was a lost sinner
and condemned to hell
But Jesus saved my soul
and now I've a story to tell
Im saved, Im saved,
Jesus ransomed my soul
He gave me eternal riches
and life so abundant and full
Jesus ransomed my soul
with His own shed blood
forgave me of my sin
and pulled me out of the mire and mud
He gave to me an inheritance
that can never be taken away
I'll live with him eternally
and walk on streets of gold someday

Say Youll Be Mine
Chorus:
Do you wanna be in love forever
Do you wanna make my dream come true
Let me be the one to kiss and hold you
Say youll be my baby
Can you see the two of us together
Living in love this whole life through
Do you wanna be in love forever
Say youll be mine
I can remember
When my mind was clear and free
Now theres a feeling
Coming over me
The sweetest attraction
That my heart has ever seen
Im going crazy making sense of anything
(repeat chorus twice)
I really wonder
Is there magic in your smile
Taking me under
Got me acting like a child
Something about you
Hits me like avalance
I try to stand my ground
But I dont stand a chance
(repeat chorus)
Every time I close my eyes I deram about
Hugging you, holding you, kissing you boy
Its driving me crazy
But even if it takes forever
To win your heart and your love and your devotion
I know its gonna be worth the wait
Ooh, say youll be my baby
Ooh, be my baby
Ooh, oh darlin, say youll be mine
(repeat chorus)
Do you wanna, do you, do you wanna
Do you wanna be in love
Do you wanna, do you, do you wanna
Say youll be my baby
Do you wanna, do you, do you wanna
Do you wanna be in love
Do you wanna, do you, do you wanna
Say youll be mine

To Be Alive Again
Doin time... where it takes you
You know its time that can break you
We get caught in a moment...
Just steep walkin most of our lives
In your mind (when you need it)
With a song (to help you believe it)
You can reinvent your world
Anytime you like
Chorus:
To be alive again...
Wakin up from where you been
Younger now than you were then
Youre comin round again
Do you remember when...
Life was so much simpler then
Like summer nights that never end
To be alive again
Find the smile...
Youve been missin
Theres someone that you could be kissin
So open your eyes and youll see
Whats been there all along
Letting go (of your feelings)
With doubt and fear (you dont need it)
Break the chains on the heart of the soul
Thats been waiting so long
Repeat chorus
To be alive again
Youre not among the walkin wounded anymore
Theres a time to fall
Theres a time to rise above it all

To be alive again

Go Tell It On The Mountain

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere
Go tell it on the montain
That jesus christ is born
The sheperds all were watchin
Over the sheep at night
When a guiding star shone from heaven
And they followed that holy light
Repeat chorus:
They found a lowly manger
Where the humble christ was born
And God sent our salvation
On that blessed morn

He brought with him forgiveness
He lived to show us the way
He came to redeem all creation
And to wash all our sins away

Butterflies Are Free
Dont close your hand
Just close your eyes
And I will stay right by your side
And if this world turns cruel & cold
Look to the skies
Dont you see the truth?
The power of one, the power of two
The power of me loving you
Chorus:
Butterflies are free
Free to come and go
Free to spread their wings
Know that I know
Youll come back to me
Cause love like butterflies are free
You see a light
You hear the call
And if I dont let you fly
I dont know you at all
So go on and roam
See all that you can
Born unto this earth a curious soul
You and you alone
Can make you feel whole
But dont I add truth
Youve never known
Chorus
The tighter the grip
The more youll resist
Its human nature I suppose
But Id rather be surprised by a kiss
Then under your control
Chorus
Free to come and go
Free to spread their wings
Know that I know
Youll come back to me
Cause love like butterflies are free

A Place At My Table
And youll always have a place at my table
Hey dinners ready come on and eat
Get her done
This aint no Memphis soul songs
And Motown rhythm and blues
Or smoky broken soundtracks
Of my every childhood moves
Soothing are the cameras looking out at my back 40
Lord I dont know where Id be if not from Berigordi
See my story aint that simple and it dont stop here
Patsy Cline still echos through my younger years
I know you can hear me cause the music never stops
George Jone sang me to sleep whether he knows it or not
CHORUS
And Ill always lend a hand if Im able
And youll always have a place at my table
Ive been this whole world over with Detroit on my mind
But Ive got friends in Tennessee Atlanta and Caroline
We dont need no money and we dont want no grief
But if you came to give some youll be pickin up your teeth
REPEAT CHORUS
Thats your Uncle Kracker sittin back there on that back porch
And I think sittin back here I can see everything I need to see
I think back here I can see poor old Mr. Bradford fuelin up the Benz
Everything is truly everything
Thats all it can ever be
And that sure is good enough for me ha ha

And youll always have a place at my table)

now is not the time
there is no time for you

youre happy ending is long gone and forgotten

of this misery
some days ill try to find
a thought swarming in my mind
to say to you
i dont know what to do

this dumb thing is making me run
what is that called again

you cant be angry when there is no angryness

In the name of Jesus
I can have everything good of the earth be given to me by him
In the name of Jesus
There would be never be a time that I have to fight the devil and I cannot win
In the name of Jesus
I lose all strong holds that the devil had over my life
In the name of Jesus
When I save a thousand two or save ten
So I thank the lord for my wife
In the name of Jesus
I want to thank you what you showed me what you told me
In the name of Jesus
I want to thank you for your love and watchin over me
In the name of Jesus
I don't have to, go through what I went through anymore
In the name of Jesus
I don't have to (What!) now that I got you in my life ever more (Come on!)

I know it cannot happen without you, you you, without you, oh, oh oh oh
Without you

In the name of Jesus
You gave me the book, so now I just look when I need the word
In the name of Jesus
You took, a crook, gave him a new look now he speaks the word
In the name of Jesus
It don't matter what we did tell it to the lord and he forgives
Whatever it was right or wrong
I'm a catch up with the herd then I'm comin home
In the name of Jesus
I ran away for far too long starve too long
In the name of Jesus
Where people perish for lack of knowledge
They all too strong let's get it on
In the name of Jesus
I realize I'm a sinner
I repent my sins and right this moment am a beginner
Baby in the spirit, let me go
In the name of Jesus please let me go!!!! (Come on!)

I know it cannot happen without you, you you, without you, oh, oh oh oh
Without you
[Bridge: DMX + (Patti LaBelle)]
I gotta say what's on my mind (Say what's on your mind)
You saved my life a thousand times (Saved a thousand times)
Gave me a dream that came to be
Opened my eyes so I could see
[DMX & Patti LaBelle]
I had my ups and had my downs
Until you turned my life around
And I want the whole world to see
They don't know what you mean to me
[Verse 3: DMX]
In the name of Jesus
All praises due to the shepherd watchin the flock of sheep
In the name of Jesus
Ain't even about where I'm steppin
You watch in the dark when I'm sleep

I know it cannot happen without you, you you, without you, oh, oh oh oh
Without you
