Words:deborah d. smith
Music: michael w. smith
Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
Cant believe the hopes hes granted
Means a chapter in your life is through
But well keep you close as always
It wont even seem youve gone
cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
Chorus:
And friends are friends forever
If the lords the lord of them
And a friend will not say never
cause the welcome will not end
Though its hard to let you go
In the fathers hands we know
That a lifetimes not too long to live as friends.
With the faith and love gods given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy youll live in
Is the strength that now you show
But well keep you close as always
It wont even seem youve gone
cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong

How Long Will Be Too Long
Words: michael w. smith and wayne kirkpatrick
Music: michael w. smith
(tell me) how long will we grovel at the feet of wealth and power
(tell me) how long will we bow down to that golden calf
How long will be too long
(tell me) how long will we curtsy to the whims of new religion
How long will we water down the truth
til truth is no more
How long will be too long
Chorus:
The power of faith and love
Can change the stuff were made of
But still we wait
(tell me) how long will be too long
(tell me) how long will we drink from the chalice of indifference
Neither be hot or be cold
Can a sober soul know
How long will be too long
Chorus:
Is there not more to us
Than cursed dust to dust
I feel my hope fading
How long will be too long
How long will be too long
(tell me) how long will we travel from the ways that God intended
Wont it all tumble down if his holy wrath comes
How long will be too long
Chorus:
The power of faith and love
Can change the stuff were made of
When will it be too late
How long will be too long
How long will be too long
How long will be too long

Pray For Me
Michael w. smith
Here is where the road divides
Here is where we realize
The sculpting of the fathers great design
Thru time youve been a friend to me
But time is now the enemy
I wish we didnt have to say goodbye
But I know the road he chose for me
Is not the road he chose for you
So as we chase the dreams were after
Chorus:
Pray for me and Ill pray for you
Pray that we will keep the common ground
Wont you pray for me and Ill pray for you
And one day love will bring us back around again
Painted on our tapestry
We see the way it has to be
Weaving thru the laughter and the tears
But love will be the tie that binds us
To the time we leave behind us
Memories will be our souvenirs
And I know that thru it all
The hardest part of love is letting go
But theres a greater love that holds us

Take Me To A Dream
Love of my you are
Sunlight, my shining star
All of the world to me
All I could ever need
Lately I can feel youve grown away from me
And inside I pray its not too late to find a remedy
Dont wanna live a lie
I dont wanna say goodbye
So how can I start again
And how will my heart mend
Here I am alone with only memories
So Im searching just to find a way to keep you here with me
So I close my eyes
And I go back in time
When our love was strong
Before our hearts went wrong
I keep holding on to how it used to be
So lay me down and take me to a dream
Dreams that youre holding me
Dreams that wont ever be
Visions of loving you
Wanting to make them true
I find myself believing youll come back to me
Cause Im trying not to feel the pain, that loneliness can bring
So I close my eyes
And I go back in time
When our love was strong
Before our hearts went wrong
I keep holding on to how it used to be
So lay me down and take me to a dream
Its so hard to make it through the day without you
So I pray for night to dream youre here with me, with me
So I close my eyes
And I go back in time
When our love was strong
Before our hearts went wrong
I keep holding on to how it used to be
So lay me down and take me to a dream
So lay me down and take me to a dream

Never Let You Go
Chorus:
Close your eyes
Realize
Its you and i
Take my hand
Understand
That Im your man
If loving you is right I cant go wrong
Girl, weve known each other for so long
Chemistry between us has grown strong
You are the one and only meaning to this song
Gods gift to man is what you are
You make me feel theres no such thing as too far
Forevers just enough time to show you girl
That Im not acting like I know
Ill never let you go
Chorus
I will never let you
Think that I am someone that Im not
Youre down for me
Im holding on to what Ive got
First impressions work Ive always found
Being with you I know my hearts on solid ground
People say we cant
I know we can
Cant stop it anyway so take my hand
Lets make this something special
I want this to grow
Because of the loyalty you show
Ill never let you go
Chorus
For too long Ive known
And far too strong Ive grown attached to you
Just call me your own
Everywhere people breaking up
That wont happen to us
Because we were friends before lovers
Ill never let you down girl
Never gonna let you go
Never gonna let you go, oh no
Rap:
It feels good to see your face
Come have a seat
Sit by the fireplace and
Ill massage your shoulders if they hurt
I can tell by your eyes, a hard day at work
Gods gift to man
Though some might say that
Were too young to understand
But Ive got a firm grip on reality
And you and me is right where I wanna be...
Wrapped in your arms
And you in mine
A love like this is really hard to find
So I wont front and try to play love games
Ill always be the same, wont a damn thing change
You hear me talking?
Trust what Im about--love and understanding
Wont play each other out
You got a feeling that Im doing you low?
Girl its not so
Ill never let you go

You Must Really Love Me
(don schlitz, reba mcentire)
Tell me why do you put up with my foolish ways
You never take to heart the crazy things I say
Oh I know you could walk out on me any day
There must be a darn good reason why youd even want to stay
Chorus:
You must really love me
How can it be true
There are things youll take from me
I wont even take from you
Everytime I fall apart
You always pull me through
You must really love me
As much as I love you
You must really love me
As much as I love you
I appreciate the honesty youve shown to me
And the way you tell your friends that you belong to me
And when you hold me tight it always sets me free
Oh this must be the way that true love was meant to be
Repeat chorus (and lord Im glad you do)

This Love
I know youre not just a pretty face, youve got style, youve got grace
But I do need to know you a little more
Ive seen your picture as a little girl, before the woman in you uncurled
But I do need to show you a little more
This love will last us forever, this love is gonna stay true
I know youve got what its gonna take
And youve got a heart and it wont break
But I do need to show you a little more
And Ive got this feelin, its so much like pain
Youve got me reelin, but I still cant explain
I wanna show you, baby, just a little more

This love will last us forever, this love is gonna stay true
This love will keep us together, this love, its long overdue

Give you wisdom and peace, his comforting spirit

Anything She Does
You know,
You decorate the garage walls,
Hang in peoples halls,
Live in secret drawers,
If you could look around you,
Wonder what youd see.
Fiction.
Thats all you really are I know,
Editorial dreams.
They cant make you real,
Tell me where you came from,
And where youre going to.
I wont ever, no Ill never get to know her,
Or be the cause of anything she does.
I wont ever, no Ill never get to hold her.
Do you think this aching could be love?
Oh you know,
Youve figured in some fantasies.
You would not believe,
What youve had to do,
Life goes on around you and all because of you.
No I wont ever, no Ill never get to know her,
Or be the cause of anything she does.
I wont ever, no Ill never get to hold her.
Do you think this aching could be love?
I wont ever, no Ill never get to know her,
Or be the cause of anything she does.
I wont ever, no Ill never get to hold her.
Do you think this aching could be love?
You know,
That in twenty years or more,
Youll still look the same
As you do today.
Youll still be a young girl,
When Im old and grey.
No - I wont ever, no Ill never get to know her,
Or be the cause of anything she does.
I wont ever, no Ill never get to hold her.
Do you think this aching could be love?
I wont ever, no Ill never get to know her,
Or be the cause of anything she does.
I wont ever, no Ill never get to hold her.
Do you think this aching could be love? (no youll never...)

A Friend
Some say that friendships should be a lifetime thing,
The time that turns the season builds trust and gives us strength
A friends a friend forever, until the end of time
Through the good and the bad, a friend will be by your side
CHORUS
If youre looking for a friend
Youve found a friend in me
Not just for tomorrow
But throughout eternity
If youre looking for a friend
You can always count on me
Not just for the moment
But for all eternity
A friend is one who listens, always there for you
A yes when theres a no, a dont when they say do
Someone wholl forgive you, and never turn away
Arms of love that wont let go when you are afraid
CHORUS
If the sun doesnt ride tomorrow
And the word never turns again
My heart will never feel sorrow
For I know that always the Lord is there
If youre looking for a friend
Youve found a friend in me
I will be your friend
Till eternity

Love Will Find Its Way To You
(dave loggins, j.d. martin)
Another morning, another day in your life
Without someone there by you.
You had a dream again last night.
You wonder why the dream just wont come true.
So what ya gonna do.
Walk around with your head hung down.
Maybe thats the reason youve never found the one for you,
So youve got to let your love shine through you eyes, your smile.
Youve got to let somebody know how you feel inside your heart.
Youll find, somebody wants to be a part of your life.
And if you just believe and say thats what youre
Gonna do, one day love will find its way to you.
Yes it will. one day love will find its way to you.
Another party, and all your friends are smiles.
Oh you might meet someone new.
And being close would be so nice.
In this life the chances are so few.

Ill Never Let You Down
Rick astley
Me, Im just a simple guy
And no matter how hard I try
I may never show you how I feel
You may be the woman I love
I sometimes think that youve been sent from above
I am trying to be a man
Heaven knows, I do the best that I can
Ill never let you down
Ill be there whenever you need me
Ill never let you down
Come what my way
Me, Ill be a shoulder to cry on
Ill be someone you can rely on
And maybe you may see just how I feel
We may be so far apart
But you still know Ive got a hungry heart
We must be patient, it wont last forever
It wont be long until were together
Ill never let you down
Ill be there whenever you need me
Ill never let you down
Ill be strong, Ill show you how love can be
Ill never let you down
Come what my way
We must be patient, it wont last forever
It wont be long until were together
Ill never let you down
Ill be there whenever you need me
Ill never let you down
Ill be strong, Ill show you how love can be

I Am Sure
Words & music: mike hudson and michael w. smith
Looking at the future
Who can tell you what is going on
It seems we have become the generation
Of wars and bombs
And the heart grows weak
And the fear grows strong
That the day may come and it may not be very long
And you want to run
But you dont know where
So where do you go
I know
And I tell you
Chorus:
I am sure there will be a day
But it will not be like the nations say
The lord will come when this life is through
And his deep desire is to be with you
Hearts will fly when the new world starts
And joy will rise like the morning star
God will meet every cry of the heart
And its my prayer
I want you to be there
I like to think about the new creation
Things that God will do
So every now and then I stop and close my eyes
I enjoy the view
And the heart grows strong
And the fear grows weak
And I cannot wait for the new world to come to me
And while I dream
Oh, I pray for you
cause he wants you to go
I know
And I tell you

You Need A Saviour
Words:deborah d. smith
Music: michael w. smith
Made a friend last night, or you thought you did
Had a drink, had a talk, took a drive
Shared the night, gave up a part of your soul
Now shes gone and youre a little less alive.
Shake it off, never let your feelings begin
But your defenses are down and the fear is closing in.
Chorus:
Yes, you really need a saviour
Somehow youve known it all along
Yes, you really need a saviour
You know youve heard it for so long
Yes, you really need a saviour
Someone to come and lead you on
You need a saviour
You need a saviour
Its time
Told yourself today just for your own sake
What was lost wouldnt cost anyway
Lifes a one night stand, this time youll win
The up and down, life-long game that you play.
Shake it off, never let your feelings begin
But your defenses are down and the fear is closing in.

I Wont Last A Day Without You
(paul williams/r. nichols)
Day after day I must face a world of strangers
Where I dont belong,
Im not that strong
Its nice to know that theres someone I can turn to
Who will always care
Youre always there
When theres no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams wont come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I wont last a day without you
So many times when the city seems to be
Without a friendly face,
A lonely place
Its nice to know that youll be there if I need you
And you always smile
Its all worth while
When theres no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams wont come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I wont last a day without you
Touch me and I end up singing
Troubles seem to up and disappear
You touch me with the love youre bringin
I cant really lose when youre near
When youre near my love
If all my friends have forgotten all their promisses
Theyre not unkind,
Just hard to find
One look at you and I know that
I could learn to live without the rest
I found the best
When theres no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams wont come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I wont last a day without you
When theres no getting over that rainbow
When my small list of dreams wont come true
I can take all the madness the world has to give
But I wont last a day...

Take Me Back
Take me back to see you smile again
And the love you had for your friends
Take me back for the times we had
When we joked and laughed take me back
'Cause I know you'll live forever
And I know we're still together
thru' your music and your love
Take me back, oh take me back, Oh take me back
You were proud and strong
You taught me right from wrong, what a friend!
Take me back for the words you spoke
always get me home to the end
'Cause I know you'll live forever
And I know we're still together
thru' your music and your love
Take me back, take me back.
Take me back to see you smile again
And the love you had for your friends
Take me back for the times we had
When we joked and laughed take me back
'cause I'm lonely If you only could take me back
Take me back, won't you take me
Oh take me back, won't you take me, take me back,
Won't you take me, oh take me back,
I love the life that you live and the things that you give
So won't you take me, oh take me back
Won't you take me, (oh) take me back,
You said the strong would survive,
Oh Lord, gotta try
So won't you take me, oh take me back,
Won't you take me, oh take me back
There's just one thing to say:

Won't you take me back...

Some good and some bad
Wanna go but got no car
Dreaming dreams can take you far

In this world, its out of this world
With a little love and a little giving
In this world, its out of this world

Still youve got a friend in me
Today, tomorrow
Laughter and sorrow
Gonna be some lows and highs
Might as well enjoy the ride
