Time

Wait time depends on the speed of

Some singers go through a 'whining stage...'

I didn’t think I was lonely,
Ah, but my dreams showed me I was wrong.
A woman in my sleep told me,
The real reason I write such songs.
I haven’t been in love with anybody in a long time,
(Ah, yes you're hungry . . .)
I haven’t been in love with anybody in a long time,
(Ah, yes you're hungry . . .)
I haven’t been in love with anybody in a long time,
(Ah, yes you're hungry . . .)
Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever know another love again.
I never understood you.
I only pretended to . . .
I know I could have told you.
Although I didn’t I intended to.
I haven’t been in love with anybody in a long time,
I haven’t been in love with anybody in a long time,
I haven’t been in love with anybody in a long time,
Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever know another love again.
Looking for someone to share time with me
I often grow attached too easily
Stare in the mirror I wonder what I see
I don’t know . . .
But I know that
I haven’t been in love with anybody in a long time,
I haven’t been in love with anybody in a long time,
I haven’t been in love with anybody in a long time,
Sometimes I
wonder if I’ll ever know another love again.

I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
And if you ask me
How I feel I’d say
I don’t know
And if you’d ask me
If I’m here to stay
I’d say, “I don’t know”.
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
I don’t know
And if you’d ask me how I feel today
I’d say, I don’t know
And if you’d ask me
Is she here to stay
I’d say, “I
don’t know

Something different is happening to me
Something different believe me.
Something different is happening to me
Something different happening
I love you
I know that
I do
Have you heard the voices that I hear?
Choices you’re still near to me
Something very misty in the air…
Around you’ll notice that I’m always there
Something different is happening to me
Something different … happening

Only a fool would have said, 'No' to you.
When I said 'No' I didn’t know
Or did I know what it was that I was doing
Caught up in the past
The aftertaste from the last one
Was no fun for the next one (to come along)
Too bad it had to be you
Only a fool
Would have said no
Only a fool
Would have said no
Only a fool
Would have said no
Only a fool
Would have said no
Only a fool
Would have said no to you
When I said no I didn’t know
Or did I know
The aftertaste from the last one
Was no fun for the next one (to come along)
Too bad it had to be you

Wake up slowly let the film keep rolling
Visions still unfolding in your mind
I was happy dancing on the ceiling
Never missed the feelings left behind
On the wind
I’m floating
Why I don’t need to know
I have been believing in the stories I’ve been told
Deep within
My mind I’ve been alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
Wake up slowly let the film keep rolling
Visions still unfolding in your mind
Finders keepers love will find believers
Keep in mind
On the wind
You’re floating in
Why, do you even know?
Have you been believing in the stories you’ve been told
Deep within you’ve never been alone
Alone
Alone
Alone
I'm Feeling in
Love Again

I feel--I’m feeling in love again
It’s real--It’s really the best that it’s every been
Oh, its been such a long time
Was so lonely but now I'm
In love
And I’m loving the thought that it’ll never end
Oh, my love, I'm sure hoping that
The song we sing will always blend
I wanted to hold you
Yeah, I wanted to show you
I'm glad I finally told you the way I feel
The song is in the air
The tunes already sung by many
People everywhere are disenchanted with the repetition
(repeat the rhythm of their past)
Note: Why I never finished
this song...
When it came to this bridge, I offered to let Cherie help write the part...
but I didn't like what she was offering....'Why does love always get so boring?'
she asked.
Boring?! (I asked)
What the problem here?
(Why keep losing ‘stead of winning?
When at the beginning….)
They want their love to last
There’s something that needs to change
Concealed … be so strange
… love you
There is a Reason
Romans 8:28
by Rob Patterson
Wait
time depends on the speed of your connection
There is a reason, I know, 'cause all things work together.
There is a reason, I know, 'cause all things work for the good.
There is a reason, I know, 'cause all things work together.
There is a reason, I know, 'cause all things work for the good.
1. And if I don't find
what's there all the time,
I'm not gonna find what I'm after.
I've been waiting to see
somebody--beside me--searching.
There is a reason, I know, 'cause all things work together.
There is a reason, I know, 'cause all things work for the good.
2. If I live my life right,
If I walk in the light,
Then, I'll answer to call to His Purpose.
Light comes from somewhere above confirming the love we're
made of.
The Word is Love

Wait time depends on the
speed of your connection
"The Word is Love" --I've heard that word so many
times in my life,
"Your Word is mine...", I've heard myself--at
night--singing to You.
The Word is True and since the Truth can set
us free . . . I see . . .
O Lord, I feel Your Love and I'm healed.
Sometimes I've prayed for things I don't need
though I kept on calling in Your Name.
There's been times I've laid in bed all day waiting for dreams to come true.
So much has changed and for the first time I can see . . . I'm free . . .
O Lord, I feel Your Love and I've healed.
So many answers to one question with unnecessary explanations.
I need more self-deprivation I have learned.
O Lord, I feel Your Love and I'm healed.
"The Word is Love" --I've heard that word so many
times in my life,
"Your Word is mine...", I've heard myself--at
night--singing to You.
The Word is True and since the Truth can set
us free . . . I see . . .
O Lord, I feel Your Love and I'm healed.
I'll strive to give my life to live.
Your Answers to my questions necessitate no explanation.
I've received my confirmation. I believe.
Wait time depends on the
speed of your connection

Jesus, Sometimes the world keeps me from smiling.
Jesus, Sometimes my tongue works to defile me.
Jesus, Sometimes my burdens seems so heavy.
Jesus, It's times like those Your Word reminds me to
"Sing unto the Lord a New Song."
I love You, Lord. Love You, Lord.
I love You, Lord.
Love You, Lord.
And when I'm not feelin' right, there's no one to blame but me.
I should be feeling Your Light, I should be feelin' it constantly.
I love You, Lord. Love You, Lord.
I love You, Lord.
Love You, Lord.
And if I'm not feelin' right, there's no one to blame but me.
I should be feeling Your Light....
I should feel Your
Light....
I love You, Lord. Love You, Lord.
I love You, Lord.
Love You, Lord.
And if I'm not feelin' right, there's no one to blame but me.

Father...

It Goes as It Comes)

I don't know what I would do without you ...
I thought I knew what she was going to say.
I felt I knew that I should never say,
"I don't know what I would do without you, no..."
I don't know what I would do without you, no.

I like this song start. I think I had decided that it
should call us to:
"Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves."
