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
