(You gotta say it, you gotta say it)
Solomon once wrote: "Better is open rebuke, than hidden love" So say the words... Silence is golden but these are the words That the world needs to hear (brothers and sisters) Terms of compassion will cause a reaction As love drives them near But still we choose to hide behind the face of pride Pretending we are blind to the calling This is my point and case, if hate can be erased With such a simple phrase, why are we stalling? (chorus) Say the words, say the words, say "I love you" Say the words I long to hear Say the words, say the words, say "I love you" Say the words I long to hear Ya gotta say it, ya gotta say it, say it Ya gotta say it, ya gotta say it Some just assume we already know Of the love that they feel (brothers and sisters) Some have a heartfelt emotion But never the words to reveal I think we all relate, so why are we afraid To let our hearts convey what we're feeling? There is a world in need with hungry souls to feed And love can intercede if we're willing, so... (repeat chorus) Ya gotta say it, ya gotta say it, say it Ya gotta say it, ya gotta say it (check this out) The word love, well it was once overused Back in the 70's the word was abused But I refuse to let love be diluted We can't allow physical lust to intrude it Or pollute it cause there ain't no excuse For the greatest gift of all to be abused So choose to lose the pride that may tug at you Don't be afraid of the words "I love you" (repeat chorus) Choose to lose the pride that may tug at you Don't be afraid of the words "I love you" Won't you say the words Say the words Say the words "I love you" (You've got to say it) Say the words Say the words Say them over and over (Yeah, you've got to say it, say it) Choose to lose the pride that may tug at you Don't be afraid of the words "I love you" |

Pardon me, your epidermis is showing, sir I couldn't help but note your shade of melanin I tip my hat to the colorful arrangement Cause I see the beauty in the tones of our skin We've gotta come together And thank the Maker of us all We're colored people, and we live in a tainted place We're colored people, and they call us the human race We've got a history so full of mistakes And we are colored people who depend on a Holy Grace (1, 1, 1, 1... 2, 2, 2, 2... 3, 3, 3, 3... 4, 4, 4, 4) A piece of canvas is only the beginning for It takes on character with every loving stroke This thing of beauty is the passion of an Artist's heart By God's design, we are a skin kaleidoscope We've gotta come together, Aren't we all human after all? We're colored people, and we live in a tainted place We're colored people, and they call us the human race We've got a history so full of mistakes And we are colored people who depend on a Holy Grace Ignorance has wronged some races And vengeance is the Lord's If we aspire to share this space Repentance is the cure (1, 1, 1, 1... 2, 2, 2, 2... 3, 3, 3, 3... 4, 4, 4, 4) Well, just a day in the shoes of a color blind man Should make it easy for you to see That these diverse tones do more than cover our bones As a part of our anatomy We're colored people, and we live in a tainted place We're colored people, and they call us the human race We've got a history so full of mistakes And we are colored people who depend on a Holy Grace We're colored people, and they call us the human race (Oh, colored people) We're colored people, and we all gotta share this space (Yeah we've got to come together somehow) We're colored people, and we live in a tainted world (Red and yellow, black and white) We're colored people, every man, woman, boy, and girl (Colored people, colored people, colored people, colored people, yeah) |

Between You And Me
by DC Talk [It's just between you and me Get it straight before the sun goes down] Sorrow is a lonely feeling Unsettled is a painful place I've lived with both for far too long now Since we've parted ways I've been wrestling with my conscience And I found myself to blame If there's to be any resolution I've got to peel my pride away (chorus) Just between you and me I've got something' to say I wanna get it straight Before the sun goes down Just between you and me Confession needs to be made Recompense is my way to freedom now Just between you and me I've got something to say If confession is the road to healing Forgiveness is the promised land I'm reaching out in my conviction I'm longing to make amends So, I'm sorry for the words I've spoken For I've betrayed a friend We've got a love that's worth preserving And a bond I will defend (repeat chorus) In my pursuit of God, I thirst for holiness As I approach the Son, I must consider this Offenses unresolved, they'll keep me from the throne Before I go to Him my wrong must be atoned If there's to be any resolution I've got to peel this pride away Just between you and me I've got something' to say I wanna get it straight Before the sun goes down Just between you and me Confession needs to be made Recompense is my way to freedom It's my way to freedom It's my way to freedom (2x) I've got something to say, so let me say it today It's my way to freedom (2x) I've got something to say, confession needs to be made It's my way to freedom (2x) I've got something to say, confession needs to be made It's my way to freedom (2x) I've got something to say... |

In my mind, I can see Your face
As Your love pours down in a shower of grace Some people tell me that You're just a dream My faith is the evidence of things unseen In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye In my mind's eye, in my mind You know what I'm going through I know this is true 'Cause You stood in my shoes Desire's inside of me But it's hard to believe In what you cannot see Can you catch the wind? See a breeze? Its presence is revealed by The leaves on a tree An image of my faith in the unseen In my mind's eye I see Your face You smile as you show me grace In my mind's eye You take my hand We walk through foreign lands The foreign lands of life In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye In my mind's eye, in my mind In my mind I'm where I belong As I rest in your arms And like a child I hold on to you In my moment of truth, yes I do We can ride the storm Endure the pain You comfort me in my hurricane And I'll never be alone again In my mind's eye I see Your face You smile as you show me grace In my mind's eye You take my hand We walk through foreign lands In my mind's eye I see Your face You smile as you show me grace In my mind's eye You take my hand We walk through foreign lands In my mind's eye, in my mind's eye In my mind's eye, in my mind In my mind I can see Your face Love pours down in a shower of grace Life is a gift that You choose to give I believe we eternally live Faith is the evidence of things unseen People tell me that You're just a dream But they don't know You the way that I do You're the one I live to pursue Can you catch the wind? Can you see God, have you ever seen Him? I've never seen the wind I seen the effects of the wind But I've never seen the wind Can you see t In my mind's eye I see Your face You smile as you show me grace In my mind's eye You take my hand We walk through foreign lands In my mind's eye I see Your face In my mind's eye |

And I'm now the man I once couldn't be Nothing on earth could now ever move me I now have the will and the strength a man needs (chorus) It's my will, and I'm not moving Cause if it's Your will, then nothing can shake me It's my will, to bow and praise You I now have the will to praise my God Complexity haunts me for I am two men Entrenched in a battle that I'll never win My discipline fails me, my knowledge it fools me But You are my shelter, all the strength that I need (repeat chorus) I'm learning to give up the rights to myself The bits and the pieces I've gathered as well They're nothing compared to the joy that You bring me The peace that You show me is the strength that I need (repeat chorus) (bridge) We've got to be children of peace Don't you know we've got to be children of peace (repeat chorus & bridge simultaneously 3x) It's Your will, It's Your will, not mine It's Your will, It's Your will (4x) (repeat chorus & bridge simultaneously) (repeat bridge) |

I keep trying to find a life
On my own, apart from you I am the king of excuses I've got one for every selfish thing I do What's going on inside of me? I despise my own behavior This only serves to confirm my suspicions That I'm still a man in need of a saviour I wanna be in the Light As You are in the Light I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens Oh, Lord be my Light and be my salvation 'Cause all I want is to be in the Light All I want is to be in the Light The disease of self runs through my blood It's a cancer fatal to my soul Every attempt on my behalf has failed To bring this sickness under control I wanna be in the Light As You are in the Light I wanna shine like the stars in the heavens Oh, Lord be my Light and be my salvation 'Cause all I want is to be in the Light All I want is to be in the Light Honesty becomes me (There's nothing left to lose) The secrets that did run me (In Your Presence are defused) Pride has no position (And riches have no worth) The fame that once did cover me (Has been sentenced to this earth) Has been sentenced to this earth |

Justifying, you turn it all to gray Synchronizing to society's ways Society has gotten to be all outta whack And don't bother with excuses whether white or black To blame it on a color won't get a result Because history reveals to me how ethics were lost In reality our decency has taken a plunge "in god we trust" is an american pun Funny how it happened so suddenly Hey yo fellas, kick the melody... Socially acceptable, it's okay, it's all right Socially acceptable, it's okay, in whose sight Socially acceptable Times are changing, with morals in decay Human rights have made the wrongs okay Something's missing, and if you're asking me I think that something is the g-o-d To label wrong or right by the people's sight Is like going to a loser to ask advice And by basing your plans On another man's way of living life Is creating a brand of ethics Sure to be missing the punch No count morals that are out to lunch They're sliding away cause everything is okay It was taboo back then but today ya say, Socially acceptable, it's okay, it's all right Socially acceptable, it's okay, in whose sight Socially acceptable, it's okay, it's all right Socially acceptable Yeah, yeah, yeah Here we go, here we go A come on, a come on Here we go, here we go A come on, a come on Here we go, here we go A come on, a come on Here we go, here we go A come on, a come on Everybody's doin' it Who's doin' it Everybody's doin' it Yo, who's doin' it Everybody's doin' it Who's doin' it Everybody's doin' it Yo, yo, yo, who's doin' it Ohhhh, alright Ohhhh, come on We gotta back to the principles found in the word A little g-o-d could be society's cure From the state that we're in cause again we're slipping So pray for america cause time is ticking Socially acceptable, it's okay, it's all right Socially acceptable, it's okay, in whose sight Socially acceptable, it's okay, it's all right Socially acceptable, it's okay, in whose sight Socially acceptable Socially respectable Socially acceptable Socially respectable |

This world's a tortured place to be
So many things to torment me And as I stumble down this road it takes a toll These days and nights I turn to You No human hand can pull me through No cosmic force or magic brew will ever do But I can see it coming You're not so far away 'Cause I can feel Your power Surging through the whole of me (chorus 1) God is there and He is watching He tells me all is well (it's supernatural) God is there, there's no denying He's supernatural (it's supernatural) Supernatural Beyond this physical terrain There's an invisible domain Where angels battle over souls in vast array But down on earth is where I am No wings to fly, no place to stand Here on my knees I am a stranger in this land I need an intervention A touch of providence It goes beyond religion To my very circumstance (repeat chorus 1) (chorus 2) God is there and He is watching The signs are everywhere (the signs are everywhere) God is there, there's no denying It's supernatural (it's supernatural) Supernatural (bridge) In six days, the universe was made Supernatural And from the dead a man was raised Supernatural They say He walked across the waves Supernatural And I'll believe it to my grave But I can see You coming You're not so far away 'Cause I can feel Your power Surging through the whole of me (Yeah, yeah, yeah) (God is supernatural) (Yeah, yeah, yeah) (repeat chorus) (Some things just can't be explained) |

Separated, I cut myself clean
From a past that comes back in my darkest of dreams Been apprehended by a spiritual force And a grace that replaced all the me I’ve divorced I saw a man with tattoo on his big fat belly It wiggled around like marmalade jelly It took me a while to catch what it said Cause I had to match the rhythm Of his belly with my head ’jesus saves’ is what it raved in a typical tattoo green He stood on a box in the middle of the city And claimed he had a dream (chorus) What will people think When they hear that I’m a jesus freak What will people do when they find that it’s true I don’t really care if they label me a jesus freak There ain’t no disguising the truth Kamikaze my death is gain I’ve been marked by my maker A peculiar display The high and lofty they see me as weak Cause I won’t live and die for the power they seek There was a man from the desert with naps in his head The sand that he walked was also his bed The words that he spoke made the people assume There wasn’t too much left in the upper room With skins on his back and hair on his face They thought he was strange by the locusts he ate The pharisees tripped when they heard him speak Until the king took the head of this jesus freak (repeat chorus) People say I’m strange, does it make me a stranger That my best friend was born in a manger People say I’m strange, does it make me a stranger That my best friend was born in a manger A freak indeed but not the type that sneaks Peek into my past and my rhymes seem greek For I wasn’t the man that I am today See I ran the games like tate manned his fade Max was a factor in those early days We turned blacks and whites into hazy grays Until the word cut through us like a buck knife And so deep, I’ll be a freak for life (repeat chorus) What will people think When they hear that I’m a jesus freak [what will people think? ] What will people do when they find that it’s true [what will people do? ] I don’t really care if they label me a jesus freak [what else can I say? ] There ain’t no disguising the truth [jesus is the way] (repeat 2x) What will people think? I don’t really care |

Some people gotta learn the hardway
I guess I'm the kinda guy that has to find out for myself I had to learn the hardway, Father I'm on my knees and I'm crying for help Now I've been high and I've been low I've been some places that you will not go I never thought there would come the day When I wished I never would've lived this way But I've been searching for a long, long time I thought the devil was a friend of mine I turned my back on everything that was true And wasted years that belong to you (repeat chorus) It took so long for me to see That I'm a victim of nature and me Left to myself I realize I am the maker of my own demise But you accept me every time and again And never mention just how selfish I've been Why must it always take me so long to see That I have fallen but you will forgive me? (repeat chorus 2x) The warning signs are like flares in the night Still I proceed my greed is in spite Of the fire I know that's bound to burn Why is it that I always gotta learn The hardway, the hardway, I had to learn the hardway The hardway, the hardway, I had to learn the hardway |

the greatest single cause of atheism
in the world today Is christians who acknowledge jesus with their lips Then walk out the door and deny him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable. What if i stumble? What if i fall? Is this one for the people? Is this one for the lord? Or do i simply serenade for things i must afford? You can jumble them together, my conflict still remains Holiness is calling, in the midst of courting fame Cause i see the trust in their eyes Though the sky is falling They need your love in their lives Compromise is calling What if i stumble, what if i fall? What if i lose my step and i make fools of us all? Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl? What if i stumble, and what if i fall? What if i stumble, what if i fall? You never turn in the heat of it all What if i stumble, what if i fall? Father please forgive me for i can not compose The fear that lives within me Or the rate at which it grows If struggle has a purpose On the narrow road you've carved Why do i dread my trespasses will leave a deadly scar Do they see the fear in my eyes? Are they so revealing? This time i cannot disguise All the doubt i'm feeling What if i stumble, what if i fall? What if i lose my step and i make fools of us all? Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl? What if i stumble, and what if i fall? What if i stumble? Everyone's got to crawl when you know that You're up against a wall, it's about to fall Everyone's got to crawl when you know that Everyone's got to crawl when you know that You're up against a wall, it's about to fall Everyone's got to crawl when you know that I hear you whispering my name you say my love for you will never change never change What if i stumble, what if i fall? What if i lose my step and i make fools of us all? Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl? What if i stumble, and what if i fall? What if i stumble, what if i fall? What if i lose my step and i make fools of us all? Will the love continue when my walk becomes a crawl? What if i stumble, and what if i fall? What if i stumble, what if i fall? You never turn in the heat of it all What if i stumble, what if i fall? You are my comfort, and my god Is this one for the people, is this one for the lord? |

Well, I'm Catherine Morgan
And I'm the next-door neighbor to the Gotee's And uh, the Gotee's were over there And they had a drummer that came in here To play the drums that day And he played it early in the mornin', and he played it I had him for breakfast, and for lunch, and for dinner So I hollered at Todd and told him That I couldn't stand that drummer any longer That he was driving my crazy And Kevin spoke up and said, "Mrs. Morgan," says, "that's a live drummer We've got over there today" And I said, "If he hits the drum one more time, He's gone be a dead drummer" And that was the last I heard of the drummer that day |
