Friends 2003
Music: Michael W. Smith
Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
Can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter in your life is through
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've 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 Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say "never"
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends.
With the faith and love God's given
Springing from the hope we know
We will pray the joy you'll live in
Is the strength that now you show
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
Chorus

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:
Brother, I love you!
Won't you take me back...

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
Chorus

Friends
In our childhoods days
Together we would play
People said we were inseparable
Like a brother then
My protective friend
He would always take good care of me
Friends thats what we are just
Friends no more or less oh
Here we are sharing so much fun
Friends why cant he see that I want him
To be more than my friend
Years have come and gone
Still our friendships strong
Now hes more than just the boy next door
Im in love with him
Guess Ive always been
He doesnt know hes all Im living for
Friends thats all we are just
Friends so near yet so far from love
And oh the joy that he can bring
Friends why cant he see that I want him
To be more than my friend
Id like to tell him that I need him bad
But Im afraid if I do I might lose
The only friend that I have
Friends thats all we are just
Friends so near yet so far from love and thus
Well always remain friends
Friends why cant he see that I want us
To be more than just friends

I Was There Myself
I wish I could find the right words to say,
Why your mind and my time...
Are not going to be close friends.
I wish I could say this to you,
Without you becoming upset.
I am a lot older in many ways.
And in those ways you do not respect.
My tolerance you accept,
As an approval of your nonsense.
I am just more patient.
And have more than you will ever know.
My willingness to listen,
To your petty conversations...
Is a hope you will comprehend,
Just how small you make that world you live in.
My suggestions that you live and let live,
With a letting go...
Comes from experience.
Not because I believe there is so much I know.
Your mind is limited and fixed in stubbornness.
Then to me you complain,
About your attempts to convince...
With an acknowledgement foreign to common sense.
And to learn one has to listen.
But your issues and insecurities,
Are excuses you use as a defense.
I was there myself!
That is why you are so obvious.
I wish I could find the right words to say,
Why your mind and my time...
Are not going to be close friends.
I wish I could say this to you,
Without you becoming upset.
I am a lot older in many ways.
And in those ways you do not respect.

Theres No
Well I cant regret..
Can't you just forget it
I started somethin i couldnt finish
And if we go down, we go down together
Best friends means..Well best friends means
I've got a 20 dollar bill that says
You're up late at night starting fist fights
vs the fences in your backyard
Wearing your black eye like a badge of honor,
Soaking in sympathy,
From friends who never loved you
Nearly half as much as me
Chorus
Broken down in bars and bathrooms
All I did was what I had to
Dont believe me when I tell you..
Its just what anyone would do
Take the time to talk about
Think and learn and live without it
Dont believe me when i tell you
Its something unforgivable
Well I cant regret...
Cant you just forget it
I started something i couldnt finish
And if we go down, we go down together
Best friends means, well best friends means..
And you never knew
Well i never told you...
Everything I know about breakin hearts
I learned from you, its true
I've never done it with the style and grace you have
But ive made long term plans
based on these mistakes
*Chorus*
Is this what you call tact?
I swear your about as subtle as a brick
in the small of my back
So lets end this call,and end this conversation
Theres nothing worse, I swear you have no idea
The jealousy that became me thinking...
You always had it way too easy
Thats right, he said it
Thats right, he said it
*chorus*

Where Did They Go Lord
(words & music by frazier - owens)
The words of her promise
The flame of her faith
The love that would never drift away
Where did they go lord, where did they go?
You know somehow forever
Slipped out of my hands
And my dreams ran away with the wind
Where did they go lord, where did they go
You know sometimes I wish
I had lost her to another
Well but lord she just walked off all alone
And the heart thats within me is not bitter just hurt
And bewildered because her love had gone
Oh the passion I trusted
The truth that I leaned on
And the hope that would forever keep me strong
I cry out my questions
Oh, the answers are all gone
Where did they go lord, tell me where did they go
Where did they go lord, tell me where did they go

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

My Angel
1st verse:
As I sit and think about yesterday
I feel the pain inside (oh yeah)
All the troubles that burden my mind
They cant be pushed aside
So Im counting on your love to guide me home
Through these chapters of my life (uh huh)
Youre my angel through the storm
(and you know Ill always love you)
Youre what keeps me going strong
Chorus:
Dont you know that mama you know I love you
And if I could Id build my world around you
Why did you have to go away
Im missing all those sunny days
You see they come and go but still those empty feelings
Goes on and on dear lord I pray for healing
Wishing that you never went away
Im never gonna be the same
2nd verse:
Even though youre not
Here with me today
I still feel you around me
In every single way
Missin the times that you would hold me close
When I needed you the most (uh huh)
Wiped the teardrops from my eyes
And walked me through the storms of life
(chorus)
Bridge:
I loved you enough to let you go
cuz your spirit will live on and on
I put all my faith inside of you
So youd know my love is strong
And your soul it lives within me
For all eternity
(it lives on and on and on)
(and you know Ill always love you)
(chorus)

Love Is Hope
If we lose someone close to us,
We feel a sting in our Loving Heart
They are love
They Are Tender
They are Care
Love is hope
Love is Family
Love is Friends
Love is Heaven
Love Is Desire
Love is Hope
Love in Death is impossible,
Love in life is sweet
losing those you love is saddening
Resulting a hole in that heart
Forever, life and Death
Love is always there
Family, Live or dead
still love you
From Beyond the netherworld.
Love is hope
In My Opinion
Love Is Dear
Love is true
love is there
But most importantly
LOVE Is Hope
everywhere, Even The Lord
God Loves you
His love eternal everlasting
His Love, his Son
Love is hope.

Freinds With You
What a friend we have in time
Gives us children, makes us wine
Tells us what to take, or leave behind
And the gifts of growing old
All the stories to be told of the feelings more precious than gold
(Chorus)
Friends I will remember you, think of you, pray for you
And when another day is through
I'll still be friends with you
Baby's days are never long
Mother's laugh is baby's song
Gives us all the hope to carry on
Chorus
Repeat Chorus
My friends I will remember you, think of you, pray for you
And when another day is through
I'll still be friends with you

Through Our Journey
Another new journey in this life, one where uncertainty’s rife,
As I finish leg number two, I know God will see me through,
Even if the journey’s long, The Lord fills my heart with song,
Two more legs, maybe three, but, I know it leads to Eternity.
Even while the uncertainties rail, I know my Lord shall prevail,
As God will help me and my wife, through this trial in our life,
For I’m hers and she is mine, and we must let our Lord shine,
As Christ guides us together, in His Light which lasts forever.
Through this trial we shall cope, with eyes fixed on our Hope,
Christ, who as in times before, will guide us to that final door,
One He’ll help us close behind, while giving us peace of mind,
When He delivers both of us, through this trial in, Christ Jesus.
In the trial, Christ helps us grow, but, God also wants to show,
Unsaved friends and family, what only trials may let them see;
The grace God grants both of us, as in Him we place our trust,
While we know and understand, both our lives are in His Hand.
We still may not know the end, but, Christ, our God and friend,
Shall be with us at every turn, as we hope loved ones will learn,
To see His faithfulness and love, to seek The Lord God above,
So that our friends and family, can live with us through Eternity.

I Love You Lord Jesus
I love you, Lord.
I love you, Lord
More than anyone in this world
Because Your love is the greatest of all.
I love you, Lord
For You are my Protector
When the world is against me.
I love you, Lord
Because You are the one
Who gives me strength and hope.
I love you, Lord
Because You alone
Who understand me.
I love you, Lord
Because You love me
More than I love you.
I love you, Lord
For helping my family,
Relatives, and friends.
I love you, Lord
Because You are my guiding light
When my life is full of darkness.
O Lord, so many reasons to love you
But even without these reasons,
I still love you, Lord Jesus.
I know,
You have loved me before,
You love me now,
You will love me tomorrow,
And for the rest of my life.
I love you, Lord Jesus...

Show Me Thy Ways, O Lord
(words & music hazel shade)
Show me thy ways, o lord
Show me thy ways, o lord
Help me love when Im hated
Spread joy unabated
Show me thy ways, o lord
Jesus was more than just a man from galilee
Christ the son of god, he died for you and me
They scorched him and walked him upon in delight (? )
Still jesus loved them, forgave and he cried
Show me thy ways, o lord
Show me thy ways, o lord
Help me love when Im hated
Spread joy unabated
Show me thy ways, o lord
Show me thy ways, o lord
Help me love when Im hated
Spread joy unabated

Stories Of Hope Series #6 Three Words
There wasn’t anything left, except a ray of hope
That ray of hope was so strong that it took control of me.
So strong that my eyes would not see.
Hope is the foundation of the human race
Hope is the foundation that can never be replaced.
Hope can be as strong as love, for it is given to us from above.
I found out something which I always knew
That where there is hope, faith follows too.
And with the faith then comes love
And it fills your heart like nothing you’ve ever felt before.
It pounds in your chest like the waves against the shores.
You feel the goose bumps travel
from your head to your toes.
And that is when those three words show.
Those three special words that are
Imbedded in our hearts and soul.
Those three words can be taken
whichever way you like.
The father, the son, the holy ghost
Hope comes with the father
Faith comes with the son
Love comes with the holy ghost
And all these simply say to
The LORD up above
I LOVE YOU.
So which three do you choose?
And if you don’t choose any, then you lose.

A Song For Anthony
Please help me pray today
For a dear friend as I care
Be here with me for a day
Help me talk to our Maker
Friends let your love shine
Ease any pain he may feel
One kind word or just a sign
Hope for him a chance to heal
Let’s give him a healing touch
The way he touched our hearts
He never complains and asks for much
Instead BE STRONG a message he imparts
His strength gives me courage
His courage gives me conviction
His will built a strong sturdy bridge
That I can cross any sea of pain
His might is admirable
His force is marvelous
That’s what makes him special
To us his friends and families
We So Love You Tony! ! !

Glorious Grace

Let us thank the one who knows us
Set apart, blameless in his sight
Through the son, we have faith, we have life
To the praise of his glorious grace

May the god of our lord the almighty father
Give you wisdom and peace, his comforting spirit
That you may know his hope
You may know his riches
And you may know his mighty strength
To the praise of his glorious grace
To the praise of his glorious grace
Grace and peace to you through jesus
Our deliverer receives us
Our hearts created for his word
Our salvation was spoken and we heard
To the praise of his glorious grace

Holding Out For Love
Why does that restless part of me always see
Did I know love wouid show
And Id find the passion I need
Look up ahead
All I see are worlds apart
Broken hearts
Looking for something more
Some magic they might feel
Chorus:
Thats why l hold on
Holding out for love
Theres only one Im dreaming of
Thats why l hold on
Hoiding out for love
But will that one heart wait for me
You know we take those twists and turns
Never learn
Goin on
Takes so long to find all the passion we need
Look what we have
Dont wanna be two worlds apart
Loving hearts stay live
Strong survive
Just matters what we both feel
Chorus:
Thats why l hold on
Holding out for love
Theres only one Im dreaminng of
Thats why I hold on
Holding out for love
But will that one heart wait for me
I watch the time go by
I swear now baby i...
Have never been so sure in my heart
So close to my dreams
Chorus:
Thats why I hold on
Holding out for love
Theres only one Im dreaming of
Thats why l hold on
Holding out for love
One lonely heart waiting

Help Me Hold On
Baby, close that suitcase you've been packing
Just sit down and talk to me awhile
I know you tried to tell me what was lacking
But I guess I must've missed it by a mile
Well, this time, girl, I swear to you I'll listen
Help me understand where I went wrong
It's hard to find myself in this position
Scared that I'll go crazy once you're gone
[CHORUS]
Help me hold on
To what we have
Once our love was strong
It can be again
You said it takes two
To make love last
You were right all along
So help me hold on
What've I got to do to make it better?
What've I got to do to make you see?
That even though I promised you forever
I never knew how hard that would be
I realize I took your love for granted
But I've learned that love worth having don't come free
And I'll pay any price it takes to keep you
Satisfied and staying here with me
[REPEAT CHORUS X 2]
You were right all along...
So help me hold on
