LYRICS



 1.  EVERYTHING'S ALRIGHT
Words & Music Michael Barry

Sometimes I cry
From all the pain within
The world and all its sin
What do we know?

Sometimes we lie
And even with two eyes
Prefer to remain blind
Can't see the signs

Chorus
I look up into the sky
And ask the questions why? 2x
Do the birds sing?
And the voices ring?
And sadness brings us down
Then I lift my head to you
And realize eveythings all right

Sometimes we try
Let life just pass us by
Don't open the door wide
Into our hearts

Sometimes we die
But have the chance to live
Eternal life you give
Just let it in...

Repeat Chorus
Ta ra ra ra....

Do the birds sing?
And the voices ring?
And sadness brings us down
Then I lift my head to you
And realize everythings all right

Ahhh ahhh ohhh....

Repeat 1 and 2 verse

I look up into the sky
And ask the questions why?

Sometimes we lie
And even with two eyes
Prefer to remain blind
Can't see the signs

I look up to the sky
And ask the questions why?
And realize everythings all right.


2.  I WONDER


I wonder if hurt someone
As I talked to them today
Could I have made them feel better
Found the cheerful thing to say
Could I by a word or deed

Let them know that I'd be there
That they really did matter
And their sorrows I would share
I've asked myself so many times 2x

What would Jesus have said or done
I know He ministered to all men
So Lord let me comfort someone

Instrumental...

What would Jesus have said or done
I know He ministered to all men
So Lord, Lord, Lord. Lord

What would Jesus have said or done
I know He ministered to all men
So Lord let me comfort someone

Someone......
So Lord, Lord, Lord
I wonder


 3.  SECOND CHANCE

When God created the world
It was so beautiful
No sin, no sorrow, no pain
Everything was perfect

Then the Devil deceived Eve
Immortality went to the grave
We are no longer alive
All of us will die...

Chorus 1
But thanks to Jesus
For giving me a second chance
By His grace I am saved
And as long as I live
I will give Him praise

When you fall down on the ground
Don't say you are all alone
He can make you smile even in the storm
Seek His name - you will find Him

Bridge
Chains of sins
Tears of sins
But He set us free
He died and rose again
He is not forever dead
My Jesus has conquered the grave

Chorus 2
But thanks to Jesus
For giving us a second chance
By His grace we are saved
And as long as I live, I will give Him praise
Repeat Chorus 1
Repeat Bridge

My Jesus has conquered the grave
My Jesus, I am saved


 4. LIFE IS TOO SHORT (GOD IS SO NEAR)
Words by Michael Barry & Celestine
Music by: Michael Barry

life is too short
Don't take it for granted
We are here for a reason
Don't waste time we are given

Each moment of our life is a gift
Grateful praise to Him we can give
Let Him care for our every need
There is wonder and joy ahead

If you fail it's not the end
Take it as a challenge
Weeping may go on all night
But in the morning it's shining light

Chorus
God is so near
There are times that we stumble and fall
Give yourself to Him
Take His hand and hear His call
There's no need to worry
God is there to help you carry
All of your burdens away
Look ahead to a brand new day

Bridge
He is there to carry you
When the weight is heavy
One day we'll be face to face with Him
What a wonderful feeling!
Repeat chorus and Repeat 2nd verse Repeat chorus


5.  I SEARCHED HEAVEN (FOR YOU)
Words by Norma Raines
Music by Michael Barry

I had a dream I was in heaven;
And I was searching for you.
But you were nowhere to be found;
So I asked an Angel what I should do?

He looked at me and shook his head
As He scanned the book he held in his hand;
He said, that you should be there;
That's the way it was planned.

He told me that I had not done my part;
My duty I had not done.
I had not thought of others, or you;
I was too busy having fun.
I had not told you about Jesus;
How He lives on high.

I had not told you of His great love;
That for you He had died.

Then my dream was over and I knew; oh-oh
That my search for you in heaven was over too
Because, my friend, you'll see Jesus in me;
And I wont have to search any more.

I searched heaven for you 2x

Because, my friend, you'll see Jesus in me;
And I wont have to search any more.


6.  TRANSPARENT
Words by Celestine
Music by Michael Barry

Whenever something goes wrong
It tears me up inside
Whenever I think I failed
Like the day turns into night
The light into dark
But I belong to You

Whenever I'm confused I talk to You
When I don't trust myself, I trust You
I give my heart and soul
I belong to You

I am transparent, You see right through me
You see the good and bad
Things should not rule me
I am transparent, You see me truly
You help me, make me glad
The Devil cannot fool me
He can't fool me

Whenever I'm in pain, You comfort me
The burden weigh me down but You lift me up
You are my hope and strength
I belong to You...

When I think I failed, whenever i'm confused
Whenever I'm in pain, when I don't trust myself
You comfort me...
Oh Lord ... I belong to You.


 
7.  HE TOOK IT ALL


As I look back in my life
To the many roads I've travelled
Trying all the world had to offer
As failure brought heartaches
And sin worked it's shame
He took it all

Chorus
The shackles held me so tight
With no hope in sight I cried in despair
As pride held me so tight
But then I met Jesus
My redeemer, my friend, and my hope
I gave it all to Him

The shackles held me so tight
With no hope in sight I cried in despair
As pride held me so tight
But then I met Jesus
My redeemer, my friend, and my hope
I gave it all to Him

My burden, my heartahes, and pain
With His unconditional love
He took it all...


8.  KEEP ON GOING (GOD CARES)

Life ain't easy
It can be up, it can be down
It makes us smile, makes us frown
We have to be taught by Him
To learn what is right?

Chorus

God cares about us constantly
We don't realize how precious life can be
We take for granted while things go our way
And don't realize
He gave us life to live this day

Regardless of how dark our life may appear
He will not let you go beyond
what you can bear
He'll take away all your doubt
He will give you a way out

Life ain't easy
When there's nowhere to run
It hurts so bad
Sometimes we falter
But we must persever
It makes us strong
Give all your love to Him

We get knocked down
But we get up again and keep going.... 4x

Repeat Chorus
To live this day...



9.  WORTHY
Words by CELESTINE
Music by CELESTINE & MICHAEL BARRY 

Sometimes we wander, sometimes we stray
But if we wander too far
He will call us back today
Without You, life is useless
Without You life is sad
Without You life is full of suffering
Without You things go wrong
Seems there's no end to pain
But with Lord Our life we can regain

Chorus 1
God, You are Almighty
You are the truth
You are my Savior
I'm lost without You
You revive me, You enlighten me
You renew me, and You love me

Chorus 2
God, worthy is the Lamb
Precious is Your name
Worthy is the Lamb
How precious is Your name

Your love keeps me going
Just gets stronger everyday
Praise Him oh praise Him
Glory be to the Lamb of God...

Repeat chorus 1
God, worthy is the Lamb
Precious is Your name
Worthy is the Lamb Oh...God worthy is Your name.


 10.  IF
Words by Norma Raines
Music by Michael Barry

If I could go back in time
And live my life over anew
I do things much differently
This time i'd know what to do

I'd talked about Jesus to all men
I'd tell all His love for me
I'd let them know that He died for them
How His death had set them free

Chorus
If Jesus should come back today
Would we be glad to see Him
Would we welcome Him with open arms
Or hide our face in shame

Bridge
If yesterday is forever gone
And we know not what tomorrow will bring
What could we do worthwhile today
While waiting for the King

Repeat 1 verse/ Repeat cho/ Repeat bridge

If I could go back in time...



11.  LONG, LONG WAY FROM HOME
Words by Norma Raines
Music by Michael Barry

I'm a long way from home, Lord
I've been wandering for so long
I've been searching everywhere
And I know I've done wrong

I'm a long way from home, Lord
I no longer want to roam
I'm tired and oh, so lonely
It's time for me to come home

Chorus

Oh soon I'll meet my Saviour
I'll see Him face to face
I'll sing the song of glory
And of His saving grace

I'm a long way from home
Such a long, long way from home...

Repeat Chorus

I'm a long way from home
such a long, long way from home...

Away from home...

I'm nearer to my home, Lord
My battles on earth are all done,
My work for You is almost over
I'm waiting for the setting of the sun.



12.  FRIENDSHIP
Words by Norma Raines
Music by Michael Barry

Friendship is forever
It cannot be broken
Love is always there
Though not a word spoken
They have something special
That no one else can share
They may hear a voice or see a smile
As someone passes by
That's when they'll think of you
And breathe a happy sigh.

What is a friend?
What is a friend?

What is a friend?
Would you like to know?
Well, He'd go with you anywhere
When others have said "no"
When things you said or did went wrong
He'd never say "I told you so"
He'd just keep on loving you
And on His way he'd go
He'd be there to cheer you
When you were feeling sad
He'd know just the right thing to say
Things to make you glad

And when life is over and done
And the last mile you have trod
You'll find you had a friend all along
And He's still here with you

What is a friend?
What is a friend?
GOD is your friend...

13.  WINGS OF AN ANGEL (BONUS TRACK)
Words and Music by Michael Barry
Themesong of Mike & Celestine

I prayed that someday
There'd be someone for me
Somebody different
That all that seem to be
Courage and faith will take me
Straight thru the night
Then saw a photograph
That said I have to write.

Chorus 1

On the wings of an angel
Soaring high and free
High above the clouds
It's heaven that I see
To hold your hand
To feel your touch
And gazing to your eyes
It's your greatest gift you give to me
And never say goodbye...

You are the light
You are the smile of my life
You give me happiness
Make everything's alright
We'll be together as one-not alone
Pray we'll be ready
When He takes His children home

Repeat Chorus 1

Bridge

Once my life was empty and dark
And my trials seemed to win over me
All I had was a song in my heart
And a vision of you... now you're reality

Chorus 2

On the wings of an angel
Soaring high and free
High above the universe
It's heaven where I'll be
To hold your hand
To feel your touch
And gazing to your eyes
It's your greatest gift you give to me
And never say goodbye...

On the wings of an angel
