AIN’T NO DEVIL EVER GONNA COME STEAL MY SOUL Went looking for the water but the river was dry Never made much money but I never did try. So Im parched and broke when you raised your head Kicked me when Im down like the good book said O I may not yet be perfected, I have been despised, rejected But I know that Im accepted, even when I fail And everytime Im scarred and broken, Here’s some words that you can choke on: Chains that bind me have been broke by One you cant control Aint no devil ever gonna come steal my soul! I’ been feeling my way in the cold and dark, Getting it wrong, Im way off the mark Keep falling down when I try to stand Feels like I play right into your hands O I may not yet be perfected, I have been despised, rejected But I know that Im accepted, even when I fail And everytime Im scarred and broken, Here’s some words that you can choke on: Chains that bind me have been broke by One you cant control Aint no devil ever gonna come steal my soul! I just cant get my head on straight And everything’s crumbling under the weight Now friends have left and family too, And I bet you’re wondering what I’ll do O I may not yet be perfected, I have been despised, rejected But I know that Im accepted, even when I fail And everytime Im scarred and broken, Here’s some words that you can choke on: Chains that bind me have been broke by One you cant control Aint no devil ever gonna come steal my soul!

Helper. 03:15
Helper The road is long and leads to nowhere got no companions and friends are few the heart is heavy I must carry I need a Helper to drag me through The way is hard , it's straight and narrow, I do not know what I can do But keep on pushing ever forward I need a Helper to drag me through My mind is tired, my soul is weary I thirst and hunger I have no clue where I am going or how to get there I need a helper to drag me through. The way is hard , it's straight and narrow, I do not know what I can do But keep on pushing ever forward I need a Helper to drag me through No matter how you try the road will never end you just pray that hope is laying round the bend My back is weak, my footsteps heavy what can a poor boy ever do 'cept keep on travelling ever onward I need a helper to drag me through The way is hard , it's straight and narrow, I do not know what I can do But keep on pushing ever forward I need a Helper to drag me through

The Baby Song Soft & sweet, love wrapped in skin With wide-eyed wonder, all is new Perfect creature….what have I done To deserve some one like you? Everytime I look at you my heart’s fit to burst Everytime I look at you my heart’s fit to burst Every time…….Everytime…….. My heart’s fit to burst when I look at you. Innocent & so defenceless Reaching up to touch my face Teaching me the way of trust And showing me the hand of grace Everytime I look at you my heart’s fit to burst Everytime I look at you my heart’s fit to burst Every time…….Everytime…….. My heart’s fit to burst when I look at you. How could I so scarred & broken Like a ship tossed on the sea… End up with so fine a token Flawless, pure humanity? Everytime I look at you my heart’s fit to burst Everytime I look at you my heart’s fit to burst Every time…….Everytime…….. My heart’s fit to burst when I look at you

COME GIVE THANKS Come give thanks for the -food that you eat, for the -wine that you drink, for the clothes on your back, Come give thanks for the- lives of your children, for the -men and the women who have blessed your soul Give thanks Give thanks for times, you thought you couldn’t take, for every cursed mistake that taught you well Give thanks for plenty, give thanks for the lack, for when you’re looking back You’ll understand. Come give thanks for the- air that you breathe, for the -smile you receive From a passing stranger…. Come give thanks for the- sun and the rain, ‘cos you need them both the same, If you’re ever gonna grow, Give thanks Give thanks for struggles, give thanks for victory, that helped you to see how much you’re worth Give thanks for kisses, give thanks for all the tears, restoring all the years you thought you’d lost. Come give thanks for the -food that you eat, for the -wine that you drink, for the clothes on your back, Come give thanks for the -lives of your children, for the- men and the women who have blessed your soul….. Come give thanks for the- smile on your mouth, for when it all went south, or (when) you couldn’t put a foot wrong, Come give thanks for the bitterness you’ve tasted, now you know that nothing’s wasted – it all belongs…Give thanks

I'll Dance Wi’ The Girl That I Brung I was woken this morning by a note on my door, from a man- that Id seen -in the village before It said @ 6.30, he surely would call, to `take me to the ceilidh in the old village hall. Well he ^ must be mistaken, for there’s not a chance, that he would take someone like me to the dance. There’re dozens much fairer, Im sure you’d agree, that- can do Strip The Willow much better than me. Still I put on my finest, my green-linen gown, I was upstairs still dressing, while he waited down, With a fistful of roses and a suit made of tweed. He looked handsome, and happy indeed. As I walked down the stairway, his eyes opened wide, like a young lad at Christmas with excitement inside. All eyes were upon us and he showed not a care, as we strolled -to the dance -near the old village square. Well we’d barely got in, hardly walked thru the door, when he took my right hand, led me out on the floor With a hand on my waist, we started to sway, as we paused- for the lad- on the fiddle to play. So I said ‘tell me sir, why ,did you choose me? There are many much fairer in `this room I see.’ But he hushed me and said –‘ while this new song is sung, I’ll dance with the girl that I brung.’ -Solo- and I cried she’s more pretty, with her hair raven black or the one with the fair skin who’s dancing with Jack. But I said just as sure as that fiddle is strung I’ll dance with the girl that I brung What Im telling you now is no slip of my tongue, I’ll dance wi’ the girl that I brung.

Nothing New. 03:35
Nothing New A hundred billion neon stars Spin way out into space And blackness lies between each one With nothing in that place Reminding me of days of light, And days where there were none There’s nothing new, there’s nothing new There’s nothing new, there’s nothing new beneath the sun And in our mighty cities, we just marvel at our skills More civilized than others, educated to our fill Yet distance grows between us Till we turn to bombs and guns There’s nothing new…. Brother fights with brother While sisters do the same And hatred fills the air like smoke Where love does not remain. We value our opinion more than any mother’s son There’s nothing new…. We hold on to our own truth, while we fear the other side. Oh God forbid that they be right, or they should turn the tide. One mother feeds her hungry child, Another child has none There’s nothing new….

Jesus, Are We Ok? Ive been parched, been dry, and thirsty Lord, has the River of Life run dry? Been sad, been lost, been downcast Lord, but Your hand don’t wipe my eye. My heart is hollow, my soul is torn…did You mention it would be this way? Was it something I said, something Ive done or have I gone astray? But there’s one thing stuck deep in my heart, so I’ll take a shot and say: Hey Jesus, are we still ok? I feel the pangs of hunger Lord, did you mention that You had some bread? Im weary, tired and burned out Lord, no place to lay this head. And these old boots, they’re worn out Lord, from that straight and narrow track. Did I take the wrong direction Lord? Cant find the right way back. But this one thing got stuck in my mind, I don’t know why it should: Hey Jesus, are we still good?

IF I KNEW HOW TO TELL YOU Seems like I sang a million love songs to ya If you got cut I swear Id bleed. Seems like I dreamed a million dreams about ya So why cant I explain the things you need from me? You’re the space between the notes I play The breath between the words I say The pause between each thought I make So my sweet love make no mistake You’re the breeze between the sky and soil The rest between the work and toil The place between the high and deep the sigh between my smile and weep ...If I knew how to tell you Looks like Ive got another in the can The rhymes and reasons seem so clear But Ive spent my whole life falling short of something Wish I could say the words you long to hear from me You’re the dawn between the night and day The path back when I lost my way The look between my smile and frown The lifeboat when I almost drown You’re the hug between the come and go The rain between my plant and grow You’re the peace between my calm and rage If I could write that on a page, Id know how to tell you You’re the space between the notes I play The breath between the words I say The pause between each thought I make So my sweet love make no mistake The hug between my come and go You’re the rain between my plant and grow You’re the peace between my calm and rage If I could write that on a page, Id know how to tell you Id know how to tell you Id know how to tell you

Different 03:02
DIFFERENT I like my coffee ground course I like mine fine - of course I say she drives too fast for me I think he drives too carefully She laughs at those stupid rom-com flicks And he laughs at that stupid ol slap stick But I love her/him cos she’s/he’s different than me I like that rich red wine I don’t, so she drinks mine He likes to dream awhile She dances in the grocery isle She still laughs at things like passing gas While his head wanders off to science class But I love her….. We drive each other crazy, with our different points of view but even when the sparks fly, they still say I Love You. So I struggled with those cigarettes And I said ‘babe, don’t give in yet’ I struggle with what lacks in me and I say I dig what I see She’s bright and soft, and I am dark and tough He plans but I just do things off the cuff But I love her, cos she’s different than me.

As You Take Your Leave May the road, rise up to meet you May the wind carry you along And may the night time, hold no terror And the morning greet you with her song and may kindness smile upon you and her kiss, your constant be and may the good Lord, hold you in the hollow of His hand As you take your leave of me May each hardship, grant you wisdom And may hope be waiting round the bend, May the rest stops, bring refreshment Helping heart and soul to mend May comfort walk beside you May looove rain down on thee And may the good Lord, hold you in the hollow of his hand As you take your leave of me May the road, rise up to meet you May the wind carry you along And may the night time, hold no terror And the morning greet you with her song and may kindness smile upon you and her kiss, your constant be and yes the good Lord, holds you in the hollow of His hand As you take your leave of me
