Amy Grant - The Collection [compilation] (2007) by Amy Grant (보컬) on maniadb.com

Long time since I've seen your smile,
But when I close my eyes,
I remember
You were no more than a child,
But then so was I,
Young and tender.

Time carries on;
I guess it always will,
But deep inside my heart
Time stands still.

Stay for awhile.
Well, it's good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
Stay for awhile.
And remember the days gone by;
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be.

Snowfalls, phone calls, broken hearts,
Clear summer days,
Warm and lazy;
Long walks, long talks, after dark;
We vowed we'd never forget.
Now it's hazy.

Time takes its toll,
And time alters our view.
It would be nice to
Spend some time with you.

Oh, stay for awhile.
Well, it's good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
(Oohhh) Stay for awhile.
And remember the days gone by;
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be.

Stay....

(Please stay.)

Stay, stay, stay....

One, two, one, two.

Stay for awhile.
Well, it's good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
(Oohhh) Stay for awhile.
And remember the days gone by;
Just the way it used to be.

Stay for awhile.
Oh, it's good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
Won't you stay with me for awhile,
And remember the days gone by;
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be.

(The way it used to be. Be.......
The way it used to be, ooohhhh, aaaahhhhhh. Ooooooooooooooh.
Now, now, now, now.... Hoohhhhhh....)

Who can say
Why she turned and walked away.
I can't see,
But she's gone away.
Sometimes love
Means we have to stand and fight.
Everybody runs,
Everybody hides,
No, this ain't the movies,
Now it's flesh and blood,
And this thing I'm sure of,

Hey, little girl running out so fast,
Gotta stay put for love to last,
Why you gotta say
That love has gone away;
It's not like that.

Everybody hurts when the feelings fade,
If you want 'em back
You know you gotta stay,
(No running.)
No running.
Love's coming back,
Like only love can do.

Love can do
Things you never thought it could,
Mend a hurt so bad,
Make you feel so good.
Love's for fools
Wise enough to take a chance;
Hear the music girl,
Let me see you dance.
No, this ain't the movies,
Now it's give and take,
And it's your heart at stake.

Hey, little girl running out so fast,
Gotta stay put for love to last,
Why you gotta say
That love has gone away;
It's not like that.

No....

Everybody hurts when the feelings fade,
If you want 'em back
You know you gotta stay,
(No running.)
No running.
Love's coming back,
Like only love can do.

(Get outta my yard.)

Hey, little girl running out so fast,
Yeah, yeah,
Looking for the love you're sure will last.

Why do you have to say it?
Love has gone away;
It's not...like that.
Love's not like that.

Everybody hurts when the feelings fade,
If you want 'em back
You know you gotta stay,
(No running.)
No running.
Love's coming back,
Like only love can do.

Hey, little girl running out so fast,
Gotta stay put for love to last,
Why you gotta say
That love has gone away;
It's not like that.

(No, no, not like that.) No!

Everybody hurts when the feelings fade,
If you want 'em back
You know you gotta stay,
(No running.)
No running.
Love's coming back!

Hey, little girl running out so fast,
Gotta stay put for love to last,
Why you gotta say
That love has gone away;
It's not like that.

No? No!

Everybody hurts when the feelings fade,
If you want 'em back
You know you gotta stay,
(No running.)
No running.
Love's coming back, (Owwww!)
Coming back to stay!

(Oooooooooooooooh-oooooooooh-ooooooooooooooooh!)

You tell me your friends are distant
You tell me your man's untrue
You tell me that you've been walked on
And how you feel abused

So you stand here an angry young woman
Taking all the pain to heart
I hear you saying that you want to see changes
But you don't know how to start

Love will find a way
(How do you know?)
Love will find a way
(How can you see?)
I know it's hard to see
The past and still believe
Love is gonna find a way
I know that love will find a way
(A way to go)
Love can make a way
(Only love can know)
Leave behind the doubt
Love's the only out
Love will surely find a way

I know this life is a strange thing
I can't answer all the whys
Tragedy always finds me
Taken again by surprise

I could stand here an angry young woman
Taking all the pain to heart
But I know that love can bring changes
And so we've got to move on

Love will find a way
(How do you know?)
Love will find a way
(How can you see?)
I know it's hard to see
The past and still believe
Love is gonna find a way
I know that love will find a way
(A way to go)
Love can make a way
(Only love can know)
Leave behind the doubt
Love's the only out
Love will surely find a way

If our God His Son not sparing
Came to rescue you
Is there any circumstance
That He can't see you through?

Love will find a way
(How do you know?)
Love will find a way
(How can you see?)
I know it's hard to see
The past and still believe
Love is gonna find a way
I know that love will find a way
(A way to go)
Love can make a way
(Only love can know)
Leave behind the doubt
Love's the only out
Love will surely find a way

I was wasting time
Oh so sure to find
Somebody
Who'll never go
How could I know? Oh.

None I found was true
None could be but you
The only one love divine
My heart, my mind
Are yours

Everywhere I go
I see your face through the crowd
(Everywhere I go)
I hear your voice clear and loud
(Everywhere I go)
You are the light that I see
(Everywhere I go)
You have found me

Where could my heart go?
Where you wouldn't know
To find me
Far, far from here
Still you are near
To me

Everywhere I go
I see your face through the crowd
(Everywhere I go)
I hear your voice clear and loud
(Everywhere I go)
You are the light that I see
(Everywhere I go)
You have found me

I have seen you in the evening
In the morning light
You hold me
Closer than the air around me
You surround me always

Everywhere I go
I see your face---through the crowd
I hear your voice clear and loud
You are the light that I see
You have found me

(Everywhere I go)
I see your face through the crowd
(Everywhere I go)
I hear your voice clear and loud
(Everywhere I go)
You are the light that I see
(Everywhere I go)
You have found me

***Fading out***

(Everywhere I go)
I see your face through the crowd
(Everywhere I go)
I hear your voice clear and loud
(Everywhere I go)
You are the light that I see
(Everywhere I go)
You have found me

Take this man to prison
The man heard Herod say
And then four squads of soldiers came
And carried him away
Chained up between two watchmen
Peter tried to sleep
But beyond the walls
An endless prayer was lifting for his keep

Then a light cut through the darkness
Of a lonely prison cell
And the chains that bound the man of God
Just opened up and fell
And running to his people
Before the break of day
There was only one thing on his mind
Only one thing to say

Angels watching over me
Every move I make
Angels watching over me

Angels watching over me
Every step I take
Angels watching over me

God only knows the times
My life was threatened just today
A reckless car ran out of gas
Before it ran my way
Near misses all around me
Accidents unknown
Though I never see with human eyes
The hands that lead me home

But I know they're all around me
All day and through the night
When the enemy is closing in
I know sometimes they fight
To keep my feet from falling
I'll never turn away
If you're asking what's protecting me
Then you're gonna hear me say

Got His Angels watching over me
Every move I make
Angels watching over me

Angels watching over me
Every step I take
Angels watching over me

Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me

Got His Angels watching over me
Every move I make
Angels watching over me

Angels watching over me
Every step I take
Angels watching over me

Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me
Angels watching over me

Though I never see with human eyes
The hands that lead me home

Thy Word
Is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path

Thy Word
Is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path

When I feel afraid
Think I've lost my way
Still You're there
Right beside me

Nothing will I fear
As long as You are near
Please be near me to the end

Thy Word
Is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path

Thy Word
Is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path

I will not forget
Your love for me and yet
My heart forever is wandering

Jesus be my guide
And hold me to Your side
And I will love You to the end

Nothing will I fear
As long as You are near
Please be near me to the end

Thy Word
Is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path

Thy Word
Is a lamp unto my feet
And a light unto my path

And a light unto my path
You're the light unto my path

I call you on the phone
But you're not at home.
Where do you go when you're hurting?
I hear you're down again,
Lost the will to win.
Why do you run when your hurting?
Oh, where do you hide your heart?
Where do you hide your heart?

Leave the hurt behind you
Love has found you now
And He'll never let you go.
Oh, you've got to know
That Jesus will not leave us now,
So leave your cares behind.
Oh, leave your cares behind.

When you're feeling low
Let me let you know,
That we're all sad sometimes.
Jesus carries you,
He's gonna see you through;
He'll never leave 'cause He loves you.
Oh, where do you hide your heart?
Tell me, where do you hide your heart?

Leave it all behind you
Love has found you now
And He'll never let you go.
Oh, you've got to know
That Jesus will not leave us now.
He'll never let you go.
He'll never let you go.

Where do you hide your heart?
Where do you hide your heart?

Leave the hurt behind you
Love has found you now
And He'll never let you go.
It's so good to know
That Jesus will not leave us now.
He'll never let you go.
He'll never let you go.

Sing your praise to the Lord
Come on everybody
Stand up and sing one more hallelujah
Sing your praise to the Lord
I could never tell you just how much
Good that it's gonna do you
Just to sing

Anew
The song your heart learned to sing
When He first gave His life to you
But life goes on and so must the song
You gotta sing again
The song born in your soul when
You first gave your heart to Him
Sing His praises once more

Sing your praise to the Lord
Come on everybody
Stand up and sing one more Hallelujah
Sing your praise to the Lord
I could never tell you just how much
Good that it's gonna do you
Just to sing

Aloud the song that someone is dying
To hear down in the maddening crowd
As you once were before you heard the song
You gotta let them know the truth
Is a light to shine upon the way that maybe they could go
Sing Your praises once more

Sing your praise to the Lord
Come on everybody
Stand up and sing one more Hallelujah
Give your praise to the Lord
I could never tell you just how much
Good that it's gonna do you

Just to let the name of the Lord
Be praised both for now and ever more
Praise him oh ye servants

Give your praise to the Lord
Come on everybody
Give your praise to the Lord
I could never tell you just how much
Good that it's gonna do you

Just to sing, sing, sing
Come on, sing, sing, sing
I can hear you now, sing, sing, sing

Got a ticket coming home,
Wish the officer had known
What a day today has been.
Then I stumbled through the door,
Dropping junk mail on the floor.
When will this day end?

But then your letter caught my eye,
Brought the hope in me to life,
'Cause you know me very well,
And I bet you wrote me
Just to tell me,

In a little while,
We'll be with the Father;
Can't you see Him smile? (Ooooooh....)
In a little while,
We'll be home forever,
In a while....
We're just here to learn to love Him;
We'll be home in just a little while.

Boy, that letter hit the spot--
Made me think of all I've got,
And all that waits for me.
Guess I've known it all day long;
Wonder where my thoughts went wrong.
When will my heart believe?

Waking half way through the night,
Reaching toward the lamp for light,
Picking up the Word I find;
Here's another letter
To remind me.

In a little while,
We'll be with the Father;
Can't you see Him smile? (Ooooooh....)
In a little while,
We'll be home forever,
In a while....
We're just here to learn to love Him;
We'll be home in just a little while.

Days like these are just a test of our will.
Will we walk or will we fall?
Well, I can almost see the top of the hill,
And I believe it's worth it all.

In a little while,
We'll be with the Father;
Can't you see Him smile? (Ooooooh....)
In a little while,
We'll be home forever,
In a while....
We're just here to learn to love Him;
We'll be home in just a little while.

In a little while,
We'll be with the Father;
Can't you see Him smile? (Ooooooh....)
In a little while,
We'll be home forever,
In a while....
We're just here to learn to love Him;
We'll be home in just a little--

In a little while,
We'll be with the Father;
Can't you see Him smile? (Ooooooh....)
In a little while,
We'll be home forever,
In a while....
We're just here to learn to love Him;
We'll be home in just a little--

In a little while,
We'll be with the Father;
Can't you see Him smile? (Ooooooh....)
In a little while,
We'll be home forever,
In a while....
We're just here to learn to love Him;
We'll be home in just a little--

In a little while,
We'll be with the Father;
Can't you see Him smile? (Ooooooh....)

El Shaddai, el shaddai
El-elyon na adonia
Age to age you're still the same
By the power of the name
El shaddai, el shaddai
Erkamka na adonai
I will praise and lift you high
El shaddai

Through your love and through the ram
You saved the son of Abraham
Through the power of your hand
You turned the sea into dry land
To the outcast on her knees
You were the God who really sees
And by your might
You set your children free

El shaddai, el shaddai
El-elyon na adonia
Age to age you're still the same
By the power of the name
El shaddai, el shaddai
Erkamka na adonai
I will praise and lift you high
El shaddai

El shaddai, el shaddai
El-elyon na adonai
Age to age you're still the same
By the power, el shaddai
Erkamka na adonai
I will praise and lift you high
El shaddai

Through the years you've made it clear
That the time of Christ was near
Though the people couldn't see
What Messiah ought to be
Your most awesome work was done
Through the frality of your son

I will praise and lift you high
El shaddai

I have decided
I'm gonna live like a believer
Turn my back on the deceiver
I'm gonna live what I believe

I have decided
Being good is just a fable
I just can't 'cause I'm not able
I'm gonna leave it to the Lord

There's a wealth of things that I profess
I said that I believed
But deep inside I never changed
I guess I'd been deceived

'Cause a voice inside kept telling me
That I'd change by and by
But the Spirit made it clear to me
That kind of life's a lie

I have decided
I'm gonna live like a believer
Turn my back on the deciver
I'm gonna live what I believe

I have decided
Being good is just a fable
I just can't 'cause I'm not able
I'm gonna leave it to the Lord

So forget the game of being good
And your self-righteous pain
'Cause the only good inside your heart
Is the good that Jesus brings

And when the world begins to see you change
Don't expect them to applaud
Just keep your eyes on Him and tell yourself
I've become the work of God

I have decided
I'm gonna live like a believer
Turn my back on the deceiver
I'm gonna live what I believe

I have decided
Being good is just a fable
I just can't 'cause I'm not able
I'm gonna leave it to the Lord

I have decided
I'm gonna live like a believer
Turn my back on the deceiver
I'm gonna live what I believe

I have decided
Being good is just a fable
I just can't 'cause I'm not able
I'm gonna leave it to the Lord

I have decided
I'm gonna live like a believer
Turn my back on the deceiver
I'm gonna live what I believe

Well, it's too late for walking in the middle,
Too late to try.
Yes, it's too late for sitting in the balance,
No more middle line.

Oh, it's too late for walking on fences,
Time to choose your side.
Yes, it's too late for flirtin' with the darkness,
Make up your mind.

Oh, the time has come for making a decision,
And you say you've found the light.
But the talk is cheap when I see the way you're living,
Walking in the night.

Well, it's too late for walking in the middle,
Too late to try.
Yes, it's too late for sitting in the balance,
No more middle line.

Oh, it's too late for thinking you can walk the middle line...
Better get wise.

You may think that you can live by your feelings,
Different every night.
But an emotional religion will crumble at our feet,
If we're made to stand and fight.

Well, it's too late for walking on fences,
Time to choose you side.
Yes, it's too late for flirtin' with the darkness,
Make up your mind.

Well, it's too late for thinking you can walk the middle line...
Better get wise.

Well, it's too late for walking in the middle,
Too late to try.
Yes, it's too late for sitting in the balance,
No more middle line.

Oh, it's too late for walking on fences,
Time to choose your side.
Yes, it's too late for flirtin' with the darkness,
Please make up your mind.

Well, it's too late for walking in the middle,
Too late to try.
Yes, it's too late for sitting in the balance,
No more middle line.

Oh, it's too late for walking on fences,
Time to choose your side.
Yes, it's too late for flirtin' with the darkness,
Please make up your mind.

All my my friends are happy to stay
Here in this yard day after day
But something inside me has called me away
I don't understand but I know I can't stay

I'm gonna fly
No one knows where
But I'm gonna fly
I'm lighter than air

Cause I have felt for the first time
I can be myself
No more faces to hide behind
Just a smile and a dream that's mine
Even if I am the only one who wants to fly

I'm gonna fly
No one knows where
But I'm gonna fly
I soar thru the air

All of my life seems I've waited
For the time to start
Being the person inside of me
Unafraid of being me
No more faces to hide behind
Just a smile and a dream that's mine
Even if I'm the only one who wants to fly

If I had my life to live over again
I'd run bare foot, relax a bit more
And I'd talk to more children
And I'd learn how they laugh
And I'd teach them how I've learned to fly

I'm gonna fly
No one knows where
But I'm gonna fly
I'm lighter than air

I'm gonna fly
No one knows where
But I'm gonna fly
I soar thru the air

Cause all of my life seems I've waited
For the time to start
Being the person inside of me
Unafraid of being me
Even if I'm the only one who wants to fly...
I'm gonna fly

When the weight of all my dreams
Is resting heavy on my head
And the thoughtful words of help and hope
Have all been nicely said
But I'm still hurting, wondering if I'll ever be the one
I think I am--I think I am.
Then you gently re-remind me
That You've made me from the first
And the more I try to be the best
The more I get the worst.


And I realize the good in me is only there because of who
You are, who You are.
And all I ever have to be is what
You've made me
Any more or less would be a step out of Your plan
As you daily recreate me help me always keep in mind
That I only have to do what I can find
And all I ever have to be
All I have to be
All I ever have to be is what You've made me

I may not be every mother's dream for her little girl
And my face may not grace the mind of everyone in the world
But that's all right, as long as I can have one wish I pray
When people look inside my life, I want to hear them say

She's got her Father's eyes
Her Father's eyes
Eyes that find the good in things
When good is not around
Eyes that find the source of help
When help just can't be found

Eyes full of compassion
Seeing every pain
Knowing what you're going through
And feeling it the same

Just like my Father's eyes
My Father's eyes
My Father's eyes
Just like my Father's eyes

And on that day when we will pay
For all the deeds we have done
Good and bad they'll all be had
To see by everyone

And when you're called to stand and tell
Just what you saw in me
More than anything I know
I want your words to be

She had her Father's eyes
Her Father's eyes
Eyes that found the good in things
When good was not around
Eyes that found the source of help
When help would not be found

Eyes full of compassion
Seeing every pain
Knowing what you're going through
And feeling it the same

Just like my Father's eyes
My Father's eyes
My Father's eyes
Just like my Father's eyes
My Father's eyes
My father's eyes
Just like my Father's eyes

Are you living in an old man's rubble?
Listening to the father of lies?
If you are then you're headed for trouble.
Listen too long, you'll eventually die.

Too late for walking in the middle,
Too late to try.
And it's too late for sitting in the balance,
No more middle line.

Are you puzzled by the way that you're behaving?
You wonder why you do the things you do?
Are you troubled by your lack of resistance?
It feels like something's got a hold on you.

Are you living in an old man's rubble?
Listening to the father of lies?
If you are then you're headed for trouble.
If you listen too long, you'll eventually die.

When I'm losing my sense of direction,
And I'm needing some strength and protection,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You, and when I,
When I think I can't stand any longer,
And I'm crying for someone that's stronger,
Walking away with You.
I go walking away with You.

El Shaddai, El Shaddai,
El-Elyon na Adonai,
Age to age, You're still the same,
By the power of the name.

El Shaddai, El Shaddai,
Erkamka na Adonai,
I will praise and lift You high,
El Shaddai.

I'm gonna fly.
No one knows where,
But I'm gonna fly.
I'm lighter than air.

And I'm gonna fly.
No one knows where,
But I'm gonna fly,
And soar through the air.

'Cause I have felt for the first time,
I can be myself,
No more faces to hide behind,
Just a smile,
And a dream that's mine.
Even if I am
The only one,
Who wants to fly....

I may not be every mother's dream for her little girl,
And my face may not grace the mind of everyone in the world.
But that's all right, as long as I can have one wish I pray:
When people look inside my life, I want to hear them say,

She's got her father's eyes.
Her father's eyes.
Her father's eyes, ya know.
Just like my father's eyes.... (Sing, sing, sing!)

(Sing, sing, sing!)
(Sing, sing, sing!)

Sing your praise to the Lord,
Come on everybody,
Stand up and sing...one more
Hallelujah,
Give your praise to the Lord,
I can never tell you,
Just how much good...that it's
Gonna do ya,
Just to sing, sing, sing....

Come on, sii-hii-yiing!
You know you really gotta sii-hii-yiing!
Come on, sii-hii-yiing! (Sing, sing, sing!)

I have decided,
I'm gonna live like I believer,
Turn my back on the deceiver.
I'm gonna live what I believe.
I have decided,
Being good is just a fable,
I just can't 'cause I'm not able.
I'm gonna leave it to the Lord.

Sing your praise to the Lord,
Come on everybody,
Stand up and sing...one more
Hallelujah,
Give your praise to the Lord,
I can never tell you,
Just how much good...that it's
Gonna do ya,
Just to sing, sing, sing.

Come on, sii-hii-yiing,
We've all gotta sii-hii-yiiiiiing!
Come on, sing, sing, sing!
