LYRICS
A LOVE SONG
(Chuck Girard-Jessie Johnston)
Lend an ear to a love song
Ooh a love song
Let it take you, let it start
What can you hear in a love song?
If you can feel it,
Then you’re feelin’
From the heart
All the emotions, true feelings of life,
Is what music of love is about
If you are listening with peace in your heart
And no doubt
So listen now to a love song
If you can hear it
We will never be apart
CHANGES
(Chuck Girard, Dennis Correll)
I try so hard each day to shed a little light
To keep each moment of my life both full and bright
Believing in the feeling that I know is right
And here's the reason why I feel so good tonight
I'm doing what I want to and it's part of me
Keeping close to Jesus, that's the way it's got to be
Knowing that this feeling will flow eternally
And what I am, is all I have to be
I'm goin' through changes
Changes in my mind
Holding on to good things that I find
I'm goin' through changes
Changes in my mind
And I'm leaving all my emptiness behind
Yes, I'm leaving all my emptiness behind
TWO HANDS
(Tom Coomes, Chuck Butler)
We're all gathered here, because we all believe
If there's a doubter in the crowd, we ask you not to leave
Give a listen to His story
Hear the message that we bring
Feel the faith swell up inside you
Lift your voice with us and sing
Accept Him with your whole heart
And use your own two hands
With one reach out to Jesus
And with the other bring a friend
Many know Him well, others just be name
If you don’t know for ehat He stands
You’ve really much to gain.
With faith you can move mountains
These are common words but true
We aren’t quite a mountain
But He’s moved us here to you
Accept Him with your whole heart
And use your own two hands
With one reach out to Jesus
And with the other bring a friend
LITTLE COUNTRY CHURCH
(Chuck Girard, Fred Field)
Little country church on the edge of town
Doo-do- do-dn-do-do-do
People comin' everyday from miles around,
For meetin’s and for Sunday school
And it's very plain to see
It's not the way it used to be
Preacher isn't talkin' 'bout religion no more
He just wants to praise the Lord
People aren't as stuffy as they were before,
They just want to praise the Lord
And it's very plain to see
It's not the way it used to be
They're talkin' 'bout revival and the need for love,
That little church has come alive
Workin' with each other for the common good
Puttin' all the past aside
Long hair, short hair, some coats and ties
People finally comin' around
Lookin' past the hair and straight into the eyes
People finally comin' around
And it's very plain to see
It's not the way it used to be
FREEDOM
(Chuck Girard)
Jesus is the One that makes me never,
Ever want to spend another day without Him
Jesus is the One who shows me every time I turn around
That I could never doubt Him
Jesus is the One that makes me want to shout the news
Above the rooftops
Shout the joyful news
And let the people know that Jesus is the Lord!
Jesus is the One who changes slowly,
All the evil things that dwell so deep inside me
Jesus is the One who cares forever,
Never let me down and never failed to guide me
Jesus is the One that makes me want to shout the news
Above the rooftops
Come on, let's shout the joyful news,
And let the people know that Jesus is the Lord!
HE'S THE LORD!
He'll do the same for you!, (He'll give you freedom)
He's reaching out for you!, (He'll give you freedom)
He's the only One who's true, (He'll give you freedom)
He'll set you free, He'll set you free
He'll set you free, He'll set you fre He'll set you free
All He wants to do is to show you His love,
And to comfort you
All you gotta do is take Him at His word
WELCOME BACK
(Chuck Girard)
Welcome back (4x)
Welcome back to the things that you once believed in
Welcome back to what you knew was right from the start
All you had to do was to be what you always have wanted to be
Welcome back to the love that is in your heart
I know that you thought you could turn your back
And no one could see in your mind
But I can see that you know better now
You never were the untruthful kind
Yeah, and I'm so happy now to welcome you back
I know that you thought you could turn your back
And no one could see in your mind
But I can see that you know better now
You never were the untruthful kind
Yeah, and I'm so happy now to welcome you back
Wooo-ahaa, ahhh-hah-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
Wooo-ahaa, ahhh-hah-ahh-ahh-ahh-ahh
Sometimes you just don't know what you're missin'
'Til you leave it for a while
Woooh-Welcome back
Welcome back
Welcome back (Welcome back to Jesus)
Hmmmmmmmmm.mmmmmm
Welcome back
FRONT SEAT, BACK SEAT
(Tom Coomes-Chuck Girard)
I was a 'runnin' from my Master,
and I tried out every new thing I could find
But my life turned into one disaster, without the Lord I almost blew my mind
CHORUS
I was sittin' in the front seat,
tryin' really hard to be the driver
Thinkin' I was makin' real good time,
but always windin' up the late arriver
But now I been tryin' out the back seat, and I find it is a very great relief
Now I'm ridin' in the back seat, and I'm leavin' all the drivin' to the Chief
I went barrelin' out full speed ahead, I went a 'runnin' every stop sign that I'd see
Thinkin' I'd give the Lord a shortcut, but I found out He don't need no help from me
I went barreling out full speed ahead
I kept a’runnin every stop sign that I’s see
Thinkin’ I was makin’ real good time
But I found out He don’t
Need no help from me
(RPT CHORUS)
LET US BE ONE
(Tommy Coomes)
Lord, don't let me strive against my brother
I'm so tired of it, don't want to do it no more
Lord, don't let us fight against each other
Let us be one in You
Lord, give us love for one another
In what we say, yes, in what we do
Lord, teach us to build up one another
Let us be one in You
For Your sake let us learn to wait on the Spirit's move
We know that the hour is so late and You'll be coming soon

Knowing full well that we're in Your hands
Oh, God, open up our hearts so we can hear it
Let us be one in You
Let us be one

AND THE WIND WAS LOW
(Chuck Girard)
And the wind was low
And He brought me to the water
I felt His hand and joy began
And there was meaning
And the sky was blue
And He gave me His assurance
I then began to understand
The blessed meaning
Oh Creator, your perfect wisdom
And the wind grew still
And he touched me with the power
Then came the fire, the strong desire
To really serve Him
And the tears were joy
And He listened as I sang to Him
I bowed my head, He gently said
I was forgiven
Oh Creator, your perfect promise
A BRAND NEW SONG
(Chuck Girard, Fred Field))
Sing unto the heavens with a brand new song
The one that we've been hearing's been a hit too long
The lyrics sound confused as if they don't belong
So sing unto the Lord and sing with feeling
And sing a song of love
And sing a song of gladness
Much too long our music
Has been filled, filled with sadness
Sing unto the heavens with a brand new song
Sing unto the Lamb with voices clear and strong
Tell a world that's waited now for much too long
All the truths that God has been revealing
And sing a song of praise
And sing a song of gladness
Much too long our music
Has been filled, filled with sadness
(Aaaah, etc)
FEEL THE LOVE
(Chuck Girard)
Save the sadness for another time
Save the words for a song that rhymes
Save the crying for the ones who've lied
Who've missed all the meaning
And their souls have died
Save the doubting for the morning sun
Bringing daylight where there once was none
Feel the warmth that each new day can bring
By believing, by receiving Him
Feel the love
Feel the love
INSTR
Save the heartaches for the yesterdays
Now's the time to change our foolish ways
Feel the love the Son of God can bring
By believing, by receiving Him
Feel the love
Feel the love
