Count The Stars
(VS 1)
IF I COULD TAKE A BRUSH AND PAINT THE WORLD MY FAVORITE COLOR
IF I COULD SEND DOWN THE RAIN
IF I COULD TELL THE WIND TO BLOW FROM ONE END TO THE OTHER
AND MAKE THE OCEAN WAVE
IF ONLY I COULD COUNT THE STARS ABOVE
MAYBE I COULD UNDERSTAND HIS LOVE
(CHO)
BUT THE STARS CANNOT BE NUMBERED
ONLY GOD KNOWS EVERYONE BY NAME
ONLY GOD MAKES THUNDER
HE ALONE COMMANDS THE WIND AND RAIN
I CANNOT EXPLAIN THE WONDER OF HIS MAJESTY
MAYBE I COULD UNDERSTAND HIS LOVE FOR YOU AND ME
IF I COULD COUNT THE STARS ABOVE
COUNT THE STARS ABOVE
(VS 2)
IF I HAD ALL THE ANSWERS AND COULD TELL YOU EVERY REASON
WHY THINGS HAPPEN LIKE THEY DO
IF I COULD SEE THE FUTURE EVERY MOMENT, TIME AND SEASON
AND HAD PERFECT POINT OF VIEW
IF ONLY I COULD COUNT THE STARS ABOVE
MAYBE I COULD UNDERSTAND HIS LOVE
(CH)
BUT THE STARS CANNOT BE NUMBERED
ONLY GOD KNOWS EVERYONE BY NAME
ONLY GOD MAKES THUNDER
HE ALONE COMMANDS THE WIND AND RAIN
I CANNOT EXPLAIN THE WONDER OF HIS MAJESTY
MAYBE I COULD UNDERSTAND HIS LOVE FOR YOU AND ME
IF I COULD COUNT THE STARS ABOVE
(BR)
GOD’S LOVE REACHES PAST THE MINDS OF MORTAL MAN
CHANGING HEARTS AND SETTING CAPTIVES FREE
THOUGH HIS LOVE IS MORE THAN I WILL EVER UNDERSTAND
IT’S ENOUGH TO KNOW HE LOVES YOU AND HE LOVES ME
(CH)
BUT THE STARS CANNOT BE NUMBERED
ONLY GOD KNOWS EVERYONE BY NAME
ONLY GOD MAKES THUNDER
HE ALONE COMMANDS THE WIND AND RAIN
I CANNOT EXPLAIN THE WONDER OF HIS MAJESTY

CAN’T LOSE FOR WINNING
03:50
|
|||
(vrs 1) I face an uphill battle like I did just yesterday
I try to fight the good fight
And I’m learning how to pray
Though I’m down and losing ground
I know I’m gonna win
I fight beside the Master
I cannot lose with Him
(chorus) Cause He conquered sin and found the lost
He rose again despite the cross
So I choose the good news
I can’t lose for winning.
(He) Met me dying in my sin
But gave me grace to live again
And that proves the good news
I can’t lose for winning.
(vrs 2) I run my race with patience
And try to wear a smile
I struggle on my journey
Can I make it one more mile?
And even though it seems I’ll never
Cross that finish line
Everyone that runs this race
Cannot lose with Christ
(chorus)
(bridge) The book of Revelation has the final say
It says I’m a winner, ‘cause Jesus paid my way … He paid my way.
(chorus)
(alternate chorus)

I’M READY

(vrs 1) My i’s are dotted, I’ve crossed my t’s
My dues have been paid, cause I been down on my knees
My corn is planted in a perfect row, my house is in order, I’m ready to go
Yeah, I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready for the day of the Lord
(chorus) Yeah, I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready for the day of the Lord
I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready for the day of the Lord
I’m not sayin’ I’m perfect, but He sees me that way,
By the grace of God I’m happy to say,
That I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready for the day of the Lord
(vrs 2) My daddy is waiting on the other side
My mama made her reservation, she got a ticket to ride
Now if we don’t go today I know it can’t be long
That’s why I shoutin’ and singin’ this song,
Yeah I’m ready, I’m ready, I’m ready for the day of the Lord
(chorus)
(guitar break)

SOLDIERS AND JESUS
04:43
|

Soldiers and Jesus
(vrs 1)
Granddaddy came home in a B-52
In a pine box covered in red, white, and blue
He was one of the brave and the proud and the few
21 guns helped us say goodbye
I stood there in silence trying hard not to cry
As the preacher he quoted lines written in red
And he folded his bible in a broken voice he said
(chorus)
There's only two people whose ever died for me
Laid down their lives just so I could be free
They both went through hell bared crosses and shells
And both got back up again after they fell
They never pick a fight but their there to pick up the pieces
God only knows where we'd be without soldiers and Jesus
(vrs 2)
It seems like the news loves to run em' both down
Whenever we need em' there always around
So don't hand me a parties political views
There's left side and right side and then there's the truth
(chorus)
(interlude)
I Pledge Allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America.
One Nation under Our God______
(chorus)
(bridge)
To me there both heroes for the path that they chose
One fights for my life one died for my soul
(chorus)

Wish I Could’ve Been There
VRS1
As he walked along the seashore and through the city street
He listened to the problems of the people he would meet
There were blinded eyes crippled feet sickness in the land
When he came to those who had a need he touched them with his hand
As he preached there on the hill side the people came to him
They stayed til they were hungry and he fed all of them
When he blessed the little loaves and fish and broke them all apart
They gathered up a whole lot more than they had from the start
CH
Wish I could’ve been there when he told the raging sea peace be still
Wish I could’ve been there when he fed the multitude til they were filled
Wish I could’ve been there when he healed the sick and raised the dead
And little crippled kids could run and play
What a joy that would be what a sight for eyes to see
Wish I could’ve been there
VRS2
As the Roman soldiers drove the nails into his hands and feet
And the angels waited for the word to come and set him free
When he looked away and prayed and asked the Father to forgive
Then he gave his life a sacrifice so you and I could live
As the people gathered round him it would be the final day
Cause his work on earth was over and he had to go away
But even death could never hold him down he proved it then and there
He said I’m coming back just look for me as he went through the air
CH
Wish I could’ve been there when he told the raging sea peace be still
Wish I could’ve been there when he fed the multitude til they were filled
Wish I could’ve been there when he healed the sick and raised the dead
And little crippled kids could run and play
What a joy that would be what a sight for eyes to see
TAG
Wish I could’ve been there
Wish I could’ve been there
Wish I could’ve been there

(chorus) All aboard for the Gospel Train. My seat’s reserved and my ticket’s paid.
I’m gonna be there when the conductor says, “All aboard for the Gospel Train.”
All aboard for the Gospel Train.
(vrs 1) Everybody waitin’ for the judgment day,
When the saints are lifted on the Gospel Train.
Won’t be any stopping, any waitin’ in line.
It’s just a one-way ticket into paradise.
(vrs 2) I’m gonna be waitin’ with my bags all packed,
When I hear that whistle and the rumbling tracks.
It’s gonna be excitin’ when it’s ready to go.
When I board that train it’s gonna take me back home.
(repeat chorus)
(vrs 3) Gonna leave my trials and my troubles behind.
There’s gonna be no sorry at the end of the line.
Headed for the city with the streets of pure gold,
When the Lord Almighty ‘cides it’s ready to go.
(repeat chorus)
(vrs 4) I can hardly wait until that glorious day,
When the saint of God sing Amazing Grace.
And everybody near me’s gonna hear me shout,
When I leave the station on the last train out.
(repeat chorus twice)

My Kinda Of People
VRS1
Maybelle McCoy singing alto loud
Her kids are on the front row makin' her proud
Betty Lou's got the old upright rockin'
To the rythm of the Lord
Brother Ray's passin' round the offering plates
The Billy Green family's sneakin' in late
Brother Paul start's preachin'
And there aint no stoppin'
Till they're all in one accord
CHO
My kind of people
My kind of people
This is the church
And this is the steeple
Open the door it's my kind of people
VRS2
Souls are fed and the lost are found
Everybody's ready for dinner on the ground
Cold fried chicken and home grown tomatoes
And some Carolina tea
After blackberry cobbler and chocolate pie
The preacher calls everybody back inside
For some hand clappin' down home quartet singin'
My Savior God to thee
CHO
My kind of people
My kind of people
This is the church
And this is the steeple
Open the door it's my kind of people

EVERYTHING I KNOW
03:52
|
|||
(vrs 1) I’ve learned more from my mistakes than I ever did from doing something right.
Every wrong turn I’d take, showed me one more way to fly but sometimes fight.
‘n’ all that fightin’ and the flyin’ showed me who to trust and who to just let go.
Every stupid thing I’ve done so far has taught me nearly everything I know.
________________________________________
(vrs 2) Till your back’s against the wall, you will never know how powerful you are.
Till you’re down to your last call and you’re wishing on that lonely, lucky star.
On the path of least resistance you are gonna miss some gorgeous bumpy roads.
Every stupid thing I’ve done so far has taught me nearly everything I know.
________________________________________
(chorus) But the truth is sometimes better left unspoken.
Love will always see right through a lie.
A heart grows back much better where it’s broken.
What don’t kill ya makes you stronger less ya die.
________________________________________
(vrs 3) You could fill a million books with the stuff that I know now but didn’t then.
And with all the times I failed and then turned right ‘round and did the same again.
But the good Lord stood beside me, never once did He forget He loves me so.
He’s used every stupid thing so far to teach me nearly everything I know.
________________________________________
(chorus) To always leave the door of my heart open.
In spite of what I know might go inside.
When there is no way out, to just keep hoping.
And to keep on never knowing till I’ve tried.
________________________________________
(tag) I’ve learned more from my mistakes than I ever did from doing something right.

(vrs 1) Well, it’s just about to happen; I can feel it in my bones
I’m about to kill this giant, I’m just looking for some stones.
And I can’t predict the future, but I know it must be fine.
Cause I’m just this side of a real good time.
(chorus) I’m just this side of heaven if I make it through the test.
I’m just this side of reaching the place of perfect rest.
And I’m just this side of smilin’ if I can make the climb.
Yea, I’m just this side of a real good time.
(vrs 2) Well, its been a long time coming, but my ol’ ships in sight.
I thought I’d never make it, but now I think I might.
And what’s about to happen is gonna blow my mind.
I’m just this side of a real good time.
(chorus)
(interlude)
(repeat chorus)
Yea, I’m just this side of a real good time.

(vrs) You’ve been defeated another round.
It’s not the first time you’ve fallen down.
Life didn’t turn out like you hoped it would.
But that doesn’t mean it won’t be used for good.
There is a father making all things new.
He holds the future; there’s a place for you.
(chs)You can get there from here. Don’t give up on the dream.
Lost miles, lost years … can all be redeemed.
There’s a better place, a brighter day … just beyond the tears.
And God will make a way. You can get there from here.
(vrs) You see a stumble, God sees a dance.
You see the chaos, He sees the chance.
You see an ending; God sees a brand new start.
You see mistakes, He sees your heart.
But you’ll never make it out there on your own.
Follow the shepherd … He knows the way home.
(chs)You can get there from here. Don’t give up on the dream.
Lost miles, lost years … can all be redeemed.
There’s a better place, a brighter day … just beyond the tears.
And God will make a way. You can get there from here.

(Tag)There’s a better place, a brighter day … just beyond the tears.
