Amy Grant - Age To Age (2007) by Amy Grant (보컬) on maniadb.com

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....)

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

TV's off at 1 AM
One more day alone again
The work gets longer every day
Why'd I have to get away?

But I have found a comfort here
Solitude can be so dear
Loneliness is not so blue
When it puts my mind on You

I love a lonely day
(I love a lonely day)
It makes me think of You
(I love a lonely day)
All alone, I can easily find Your love

I love, I love a lonely day
(I love a lonely day)
It chases me to You
(I love a lonely day)
It clears my heart
Lets my very best part shine through
It's You

Lonely people everywhere
Lucky, lonely, ones who care
You've got all you need and more
Someone to be lonely for
Someone cries for you to hear
Take your heart and wipe that tear
Give them someone they can miss
Give them love and sing them this

I love a lonely day
(I love a lonely day)
It makes me think of You
(I love a lonely day)
All alone, I can easily find Your love

I love, I love a lonely day
(I love a lonely day)
It chases me to You
(I love a lonely day)
It clears my heart
Lets my very best part shine through
Oh, it's You

I love a lonely day
(I love a lonely day)
It makes me think of You
(I love a lonely day)
All alone, I can easily find Your love
I love, I love a lonely day
(I love a lonely day)
It chases me to You
(I love a lonely day)

(Tell me) Does your head keep turning,
From the feelings churning,
Deep inside of you?
(Tell me) When your mind is racing,
All the things you're chasing,
Worth your while, well?
(Tell me) Don't you ever question
Why you're always guessin'
Reasons for your life?
(Listen) There's no need to waver,
Long ago the Savior,
Died...for you, so,

Don't run away,
You're headed no where, (Don't run away....)
Keep up the face,
You're gonna go there, (Keep up the face.)
You'll feel alone,
Who do you know there?
Please turn back now.

Don't run away,
He wants your heart now, (Don't run away....)
Hear what I say,
And play it smart now, (What I say....)
Wise up today,
And give Him all of your love....

(Tell me) Does the fear of losing
Keep your heart from choosing
Who has hold of you?
(Tell me) Have you felt the yearning,
Deep inside, a burning
Need for love, now?
(Tell me) Tell me, can you sense a fighting?
Hate is now igniting,
Fear of loving you.
(Listen) Listen, God is still here waiting;
He'll remove the hating
Part...of you, so,

Don't run away,
You're headed no where, (Don't run away....)
Keep up the face,
You're gonna go there, (Keep up the face.)
You'll feel alone,
Who do you know there?
Please turn back now.

Don't run away,
He wants your heart now, (Don't run away....)
Hear what I say,
And play it smart now, (What I say....)
Wise up today,
And give Him all of your love....

Don't run away,
You're headed no where, (Don't run away....)
Keep up the face,
You're gonna go there, (Keep up the face.)
You'll feel alone,
Who do you know there?
Please turn back now.

Don't run away,
He wants your heart now, (Don't run away....)
Hear what I say,
And play it smart now, (What I say....)
Wise up today,
And give Him all of your love....

Don't run away,
You're headed no where, (Don't run away....)
Keep up the face,
You're gonna go there, (Keep up the face.)
You'll feel alone,
Who do you know there?
Please turn back now.

Don't run away,
He wants your heart now, (Don't run away....)
Hear what I say,
And play it smart now, (What I say....)
Wise up today,
And give Him all of your love....

I know a man, maybe you know him, too.
You never can tell; he might even be you.
He knelt at the altar, and that was the end.
He's saved, and that's all that matters to him.

His spiritual tummy, it can't take too much.
One day a week, he gets a spiritual lunch.
On Sunday, he puts on his spiritual best,
And gives his language a spiritual rest.

He's just a faaa...
He's just a fat little baby!
Wa, wa, waaaaa....
He wants his bottle, and he don't mean maybe.
He sampled solid foods once or twice,
But he says doctrine leaves him cold as ice.
Ba, ba, ba, ba...ba, ba...ba, ba!

He's been baptized, sanctified, redeemed by the blood,
But his daily devotions are stuck in the mud.
He knows the books of the Bible and John 3:16.
He's got the biggest King James you've ever seen!

I've always wondered if he'll grow up someday.
He's momma's boy, and he likes it that way.
If you happen to see him, tell him I said,
"He'll never grow, if he never gets fed."

He's just a fat, fat, fat, fat, fat, fa-at, fat...
Fat, Fat, Fat, Fat, Fat, Fa-at, Fat...
FAT, FAT, FAT, FAT, FAT, FAT, FAAAAAT...
...baby...

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

When all goodbyes
Are said and done,
And nighttime finds you home,
Are you all right
To spend a night
Of being all alone?

And do you hide
Between the lines
Of conversations past?
A wall of words,
A heart unheard,
That hides behind a mask?

I'm raining on the inside;
My heart wells up with tears that start to pour.
I'm raining on the inside,
But then Your cries of love break through,
And I fall in love with You once more.

When friends who care
Can't be there
To ease away my pain,
And peace of mind,
It's hard to find,
Like sunlight in the rain.

God sees my heart,
The deepest part,
Inside this lonely me,
And reachin' in,
His love begins
To heal the heart in me.

I'm raining on the inside;
Oh, my heart weels up with tears that start to pour.
I'm raining on the inside,
But then Your cries of love break through,
And I fall in love with You once more.

Sometimes we're raining on the inside,
And our hearts well up with tears that start to pour.
But when we're raining on the inside,
Let His cries of love break through,
Know that He loves you, once more....

Sometimes I'm raining on the inside,
But then Your cries of love break through,
And I fall in love with You once more.

All my life-time plans,
I got 'em in my hands.
Balancing my fate upon a wire.
Got to let it go.
Everywhere I turn I see
There's nowhere left to go.
All my dreams are far,
Too much for me to hold.
Still I hate to drop them,
Weren't they from you?
What did I do?

You are the one that can see,
Into the heart of me.
Am I really giving up tomorrow?
Got, got, got to let it go.
This is gonna hurt a little,
Still it's right I know.
Got to let it --
Even though I fear
Too much of me might show,
I can't wait any longer for it,
I've had enough!
I'll give it up!

Lord, here's my heart,
I've been keeping it from you,
And I got to let it go.
Holding on just breaks me, worry,
Got to let it go,
Come and take it from me, hurry,
Got to let it go.
Go to let it -- got to let it go.
Got to give up all of my control!

Holding on too tight,
Where do I lose sight?
Where's the lamb that seems to bring frustration,
Go to let it go.
The best of dreams can turn to nightmares,
When my heart takes hold.
How long must I learn?
This lesson's getting old,
I've got to catch a clearer vision,
I'm in Your hands!
You're in command!

Lord, here's my heart (here's my heart, here's my heart)
I've been keeping it (keeping it, keeping it) from you!
And I got to let it go.
Holding on just breaks me, worry,
Got to let it go.
Come and take it from me, hurry,
Got to let it go.
Oh, I've got to let it go.
Got to give up all of my control!

Lord, here's my heart (here's my heart, here's my heart)
I've been keeping it (keeping it, keeping it) from you!
And I got to let it go.
Holding on just breaks me, worry,
Got to let it go.
Come and take it from me, hurry,
Got to let it go.
Oh, I've got to let it go.
Got to give up all of my control!

Lord, here's my heart (here's my heart, here's my heart)
I've been keeping it (keeping it, keeping it) from you!
And I got to let it go.
Holding on just breaks me, worry,
Got to let it go.
Come and take it from me, hurry,
Got to let it go.
Oh, I've got to let it go.
Got to give up all of my control!

Lord I'm really glad You're here.
I hope you feel the same when You see all my fear,
And how I fail,
I fall sometimes.
It's hard to walk on shifting sand.
I miss the rock, and find there's nowhere left to stand;
I start to cry.
Lord, please help me raise my hands so You can pick me up.
Hold me close,
Hold me tighter.

I have found a place where I can hide.
It's safe inside
Your arms of love.
Like a child who's helped throughout a storm,
You keep me warm
In Your arms of love.

Storms will come and storms will go.
Wonder just how many storms it takes until
I finally know
You're here always.
Even when my skies are far from gray,
I can stay;
Teach me to stay there,

In the place I've found where I can hide.
It's safe inside
Your arms of love.
Like a child who's helped throughout a storm,
You keep me warm
In Your arms of love.
