Faithless Heart

(Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith)

At times the woman deep inside me
Wanders far from home
And in my mind I live a life
That chills me to the bone
A heart, running for arms out of reach
But who is the stranger my longing seeks
I don’t know
But it scares me through and through
Cause I’ve a man at home
Who needs me to be true

[Chorus:]
Oh faithless heart
Be far away from me
Playing games inside my head
That no one else can see
Oh faithless heart
You tempt me to the core
But you can’t have a hold on me
So don’t come around anymore

God you know the feelings here
Could wipe my world away
Ravaging the promises
A stronger heart once made
So hold me, I’m falling so fast
And tell me that the fighting inside will pass
As I walk away
And find the strength to choose
The man who waits for me
With a heart that’s true

[Chorus 2x]
[Chorus 2x]

What About The Love

(Kye Fleming, Janis Ian)

I went to see my sister
She was staying with a friend
Who had turned into a preacher
To save the world from sin
He said “First deny your body,
Then learn to submit
Pray to be made worthy,
And tithe your ten percent”
I said “Is this all there is,
Just the letter of the law?”
Something’s wrong.

I went to see my brother
On the 32nd floor
Of a building down on Wall Street
You could hear the future’s roar
He said “Here we make decisions,
And we trade commodities;
If you tell me where there’s famine,
I can make you guarantees”
I said “Is this all there is,
Power to be strong?”
Something’s wrong.

[Chorus:]
Something’s wrong in heaven tonight
You can almost hear them cry
Angels to the left and the right
Saying “What about the love
What about the love
What about the love?”

I went to see my neighbor
He’d been taken to a home
For the weak and the discarded
Who have no place to go
He said “Here I lack for nothing
I am fed and I am clothed,
But at times I miss the freedom
I used to know”
I said “Is this all there is
When your usefulness is gone?”
Something’s wrong.

[Chorus]

I looked into the mirror
Proud as I could be
And I saw my pointing finger
Pointing back at me
Saying “Who named you accuser
Who gave you the scales”
I hung my head in sorrow
I could almost feel the nails
I said “This is how it is
To be crucified and judged
Without love.”

[Chorus 2x]
[Chorus 2x]

If These Walls Could Speak

(Jimmy Webb)

If these old walls
If these old walls could speak
Of things that they remembered well
Stories and faces dearly held
A couple in love
Livin’ week to week
Rooms full of laughter
If these walls could speak

If these old halls
If hallowed halls could talk
These would have a tale to tell
Of sun goin’ down and dinner bell
And children playing at hide and seek
From floor to rafter
If these halls could speak

They would tell you that I’m sorry
For bein’ cold and blind and weak
They would tell you that it’s only
That I have a stubborn streak
If these walls could speak

If these old fashioned window panes were eyes
I guess they would have seen it all
Each little tear and sigh and footfall
And every dream that we came to seek
Or followed after
If these walls could speak

They would tell you that I owe you
More than I could ever pay
Here’s someone who really loves you
Don’t ever go away
That’s what these walls would say

They would tell you that I owe you
More than I could ever pay
Here’s someone who really loves you
Don’t ever go away
That’s what these walls would say
That’s what these walls would say
That’s what these walls would say
That’s what these walls would say

All Right

(Amy Grant, Dann Huff, Phil Nash)

Looking out to the hills
To the setting sun
I feel a cold wind
Bound to come
Another change
Another end I cannot see
But your faithfulness to me is making it

[Chorus:]
All right
I fall down on my knees
Tell me that it’s all right
You give me what I need
Years of knocking on heaven’s door
Have taught me this if nothing more
That it’s all right, what may come

I’ve heard it said
When the river’s running high
You get to higher ground or you die
Well muddy waves of pain
Washed over me
And it only made me see it’s gonna be

[Chorus]

When will I learn there’re no guarantees
What strengthens hope, my eyes have never seen
But it won’t be long
Till the faith will be sight
And the heavens will say
It’s all right

[Chorus]

Wait For The Healing

(Amy Grant, Wayne Kirkpatrick, Gary Chapman, Jerry McPherson)

One had vision
One came bringing its doom
One saw napalm
One heard the man in the moon
We were children of promise
We were heirs to their dreams

[Chorus:]
Tell me, why then is the hand slow
And the dog bites, well, I don’t know
But the sky will fall
And heads will roll
And it’s all that we can do
To wait for the healing

Hungry hearted reason coming of age
Running headlong into the latest rage
Always reaching within us
Claiming the answers are there

[Chorus]

For to carry on
For to stand when all is said and done
In the shadow of the rising sun
Longing, waiting for the healing

We are children of promise
We are heirs to the dream

[Chorus]

For to carry on
For to stand when all is said and done
In the shadow of the rising sun
Longing, waiting for the healing
Longing, waiting for the healing

Sure Enough

(Wayne Kirkpatrick, Mike Brignardello, Shane Keister)

I’m laying it all out on the table
I’m telling you again what I’ve already told you before
My love is not a soon forgotten fable
My heart is not a box with a lock in a five and dime store

So there’s no need to question me and my feelings
Oh, wondering if I am sure
Ask me again and I’ll tell you the same
Over and over

[Chorus:]
Sure enough to never want to be without you
Sure enough to stay for good
Sure enough in every little thing about you
Sure enough

Developing the art of collaboration
It’s dinner and a movie and a baby or two
Now we are in the midst of a revelation
We’re doing what a modern world said we could not do

And even when our love is mellow and aging
Oh, even when we’re old and wise
And we know then what we don’t know now
Well, I know I’ll still be

[Chorus]

If You Have To Go Away

(Amy Grant & Jerry McPherson)

When I was younger
I used to dream a lot
Staring into my coffee
About how you’d love me
And write me poetry
And want to be with me, yeah
Well, Momma done told me
You might wander far, yeah
But nobody warned me
The road would own your heart

And so I’m saying
If you have to go away
I will be waiting by the phone
And if you have to go away
I’ll put your records on
Pretend you’re still at home

Now that I’m older
I sit at home a lot
With the kid we’ve got, yeah
The radio’s playing
He really loves his wife
I hear the D.J. saying
Well Momma done told me
You might wander far, oh
As long as you hold me
More than you hold that guitar
I’ll keep on saying

If you have to go away
I’ll leave your shoes beside the bed
And if you have to go away
I’ll want to be with you
I’ll be with me instead
If you have to go away
I won’t be sleeping very well
But if you have to go away
I will be loving you
Till it’s cold in hell

Maybe you’ll write me this time
Maybe you’ll call on a static line
Saying don’t you ever worry your pretty mind
Cause you and me are gonna be fine

And so I’m saying
If you have to go away
I will be waiting by the phone
And if you have to go away
I’ll put your records on
Pretend you’re still at home

If you have to go away
I’ll leave your shoes beside the bed
And if you have to go away
I’ll want to be with you
I’ll be with me instead
If you have to go away
I won’t be sleeping very well
But if you have to go away
I will be loving you
I will be loving you
If you have to go away
If you have to go away

Say Once More

(Brian Carr & Gwen Moore)

I am yours and you are Mine

[Chorus:]
Won’t you say once more “I love you”
In the bread and in the wine
Till the whole world knows our love song
“I am yours and you are Mine”

On the street it’s hard to find
In the city, peace of mind ain’t
Knocking on nobody’s door, and even the
Countryside can’t hide it anymore

People moving in every direction
Can’t take a moment to be kind
For lack of understanding
The pace is too demanding
You could easily lose your mind

And He’s saying to you

[Chorus]

Standing under neon lights
Or lying down to troubled nights
Avoiding the most painful sights
There’s no way to deny it

No matter if you’re young or old
No matter if your story’s told
Or if nobody knows your name
To Him it’s all the same

He’s sold Himself to buy your life
And He wants to make it right

He’s sold Himself to buy your life
And He wants to make it right

And He’s saying to you

[Chorus 2x]
[Chorus 2x]

Good For Me

(Tom Snow, Jay Gruska, Amy Grant, Wayne Kirkpatrick)

You like to dance and listen to the music
I like to sing with the band
You like your hands splashing in the ocean
Well I like my feet on the sand
Does anybody have it any better?
Isn’t it easy to see just how well we fit together

[Chorus:]
When I start to sing the blues
You pull out my dancing shoes
I think you could be so good for me
Good for me baby
You get brave when I get shy
Just another reason why
I think you could be so good for me
So good

You like to drive like Mario Andretti
I like it taking my time
But let me say wherever you are going
You know it suits me just fine
Does anybody have it any beter?
Isn’t it easy to see just how well we fit together?

[Chorus]
Could be so good for me
You could be so good
Could be so good
Could be so good for me
You get brave when I get shy
Oh, another reason why
I think you could be so good for
Good for me baby
Good for me baby

When I want to sing the blues
Good for me baby
Oh when I want to sing the blues
Good for me baby
You could be so good
Good for me baby
When I want to sing the blues
Good for me baby
Good for me baby

Baby Baby

(Amy Grant & Keith Thomas)

Baby, baby
I’m taken with the notion
To love you with the sweetest of devotion

Baby, baby
My tender love will flow from
The bluest sky to the deepest ocean

Stop for a minute
