Howard Hewett

It's time to say goodbye for now
We'll have our second time around
But before you go
There's something I'd like to say

Everything's not what it seems
There's a stronger force behind the scenes
He's in our lives every day
He's right there when you call

In Him is where my strength lies
I'll lift my eyes beyond the skies
Only He can save my life
And only He can hear me cry

I wanna thank you God
For givin' me one more chance
To raise my voice and to sing Your praise
I sing it out loud, I sing it all day

This is song is my prayer
I give to only You
I know it can't compare to the gift from You
Gave me Your love, You gave me Your son

Oh...oh...oh...
Yes, You did
Oh...oh...oh...oh...

I know there's some who don't believe
Some times it's very hard to see
Live this old life every day
Some things don't go your way

But to be without is not His will
There's cattle on a thousand hills
And they're all Yours to claim
So claim them in His Holy name

See, you don't have to beg or crawl
He can see you standin' proud and tall
He'll give His everlasting love
Just come to Him as you are

I wanna thank you God
For givin' me one more chance
To raise my voice and to sing Your praise
I sing it out loud, oh, I sing it all day

This is song is my prayer
I give to only You
I know it can't compare to the gift from You, whoa...oh...
You gave me Your love, You gave me Your son

I wanna thank you God
For giving me one more chance
To raise my voice and to sing Your praise
I sing it out loud, oh, I sing it all day

This is song is my prayer
I give to only You
I know it can't compare to the gift from You
You gave me Your love, You gave me Your son

Now I say Amen
(I say Amen)
Ah...Father, Father, Father
Father
I say Amen

Hoo
Hoo oh
Baby

Girl, I wanna sit you down
And let you know just how I feel
It's been a long time since I felt so strong
And much too long since love's been here

Now I know there's many questions runnin' through your mind
You're wondering have you felt true love this time
Have you found the one who cares, who will always be right there
I wrote this song just to ease your mind

Now your love {Your love to me is very serious}
I won't play games {I won't play games with your tender heart}
And when I look into your eyes and say I love you, girl
That's how I feel, I'm for real {I'm for real}, hoo

They say in life you take a chance
And in love there's no guarantees
But the sweetest satisfaction comes from sharing our lives
And tearing down walls of mystery

What we share is special, it's mystical
There's magic when I look in your eyes
Oh, but this is no illusion, I never want to lose you
Say you'll be with me for the rest of my life, oh, girl

(I want your love) I want your sweet love
It's the kind of love that you hope for and pray for every day
(I'll pray for you every day)
Guessing games, pretending (Pretend no more, darlin', girl)
It's all over (Oh)

Your love {Your love to me is very serious}
{I won't play games with your tender heart}
And when I look into your eyes and say I love you, oh
That's how I feel, I'm for real {I'm for real}, oh ho

(I want your love) I want your sweet love
It's the kind of love that you hope for and pray for every day
(I'll pray for you every day)
Guessing games, pretending (Don't wanna pretend no more, darlin', girl)
It's all over (Hey )

Your love {Your love to me is very serious}
I won't play games {I won't play games with your tender heart}
Oh, girl, when I look into your eyes and say I love you, oh
That's how I feel, I'm for real, hey {I'm for real}

I said your love {Your love to me is very serious}
Oh, oh, I won't play games {I won't play games with your tender heart}
Look into your eyes, girl, I say {Into your eyes and say I love you, girl}
Hey, that's how I feel, I'm for real, hey, hey {I'm for real}

Oh, your love {Your love to me is very serious}
{I won't play games with your tender heart}
Oh, girl, when I look {Into your eyes and say I love you, girl}, oh
I'm for real, and darlin', I'm for real, oh
