Beacause He Lives
God Sent His Son, They Called Him Jesus;
He Came To Love,
Heal And Forgive.
He Lived And Died To Buy My Pardon;
An Empty Grave Is
There To Prove My Savior Lives.
Because He Lives
I Can Face Tomorrow
Because He Lives
All Fear Is Gone
Because I Know He Holds The Future
And Life Is Worth The
Living
Just Because He Lives
How Sweet To Hold A Newborn Baby,
And Feel The Pride And
Joy He Gives;
But Greater Still The Calm Assurance:
This Child Can Face
Uncertain Day Because He Lives.
And Then One Day I'll Cross The River;
I'll Fight Life's
Final War With Pain.
And Then, As Death Gives Way To Vict'ry,
I'll See The
Lights Of Glory And I'll Know He Reigns.
I Go To The Rock
Where do I go,
When there's nobody else to turn to
Who
do I talk to,
When nobody wants to listen
Who do I lean on,
When
there's no foundation stable
I go to the rock
I know he's able
I go
to the rock
I go to the rock of my salvation
I go to the stone that the
builders rejected
I run to the mountain and the mountain stands by me
When
the earth all around me is sinking sand
On Christ the solid rock I stand
When I need a shelter
When I need a friend I go to the rock
Where do I go (x2)
When the storms of life are threating
Who do I turn to
When the winds of sorrow blow
And is there a refuge in
the time of Tribulation
I go to the rock
I know he's able
I go to the
rock
I go to the rock (x4)
You can go to the rock (x4)
I go
to the rock (x6)
When the earth all around me is sinking sand
On Christ
the solid rock I stand
When I need a shelter
When I need a friend
I
go to the rock
Before I Lose My Mind
You're telling everybody that it's over that our love affair
was just a waste of time
Who think I thought I walk in fields of clover
When your sweet love was never really mine
I'm passing through the gate where
the sun will never shine
Too much I know too late how could I be so blind
I try to forget you but I don't have that much time
I know I can't get over
you before I lose my mind
How could I even hope to keep a mem'ry when at
anytime the past will disappear
When that time comes if I could just remember
One moment of desire when you were here
I'm passing through the gate...
Big Daddy
Who's that sneakin' down the fire escape
Who's that peekin'
through the garden gate
Who's on the loose but can't be found Big Daddy's
Alabamy bound
Big Daddy's Alabamy bound Big Daddy's Alabamy bound
Police
is searching but he can't be found Big Daddy's Alabamy bound
Somebody ran off with the major's wife somebody tried to take
the sheriff's life
Somebody stalled the judge's ragged old gown Big Daddy's
Alabamy bound
Big Daddy's Alabamy bound...
Highway patrol and the FBI is out a huntin' this criminal
They got their hound dogs sniffin' the ground Big Daddy's Alabamy bound
Big
Daddy's Alabamy bound...
Games People Play
Oh the games people now every night and every day now
Never
meanin' what they say now never sayin' what they mean
So they wile away the
hours in their ivory towers
Till they're covered up with flowers in the back
of a black limousine
Lotten da la da da da lotten da la a dee de dee
Talkin' bout you and me and the games people play
Oh we make one another cry
break a heart then we say goodbye
Cross our hearts and we hope to die that
the other was to blame
Neither one will ever give in so we gaze at an eight
by ten
Thinkin' bout the things that might have been and it's a dirty rotten
shame
Lotten da la da da da...
People walkin' up to ya singing glory
hallelujah
And they're tryin' to sock it to ya in the name of the Lord
They're gonna teach you how to meditate read your horoscope and cheat your fate
And furthermore forget about hate come on and get on board
Lotten da la da da
da...
Look around and tell me what you see what's happened to you and to me
God grand me the serenity to just remember who I am
Cause you've given up a
sanity for a pride and your vanity
Turn your back on humanity and you don't
give a da da da
Lotten da la da da da...
Lotten da la da da da...
Greatest Actor
I'm always right at inside when the circus comes to town
And I'm always front row sitter when the playhouse lights go down
And I see
some fine performers get the most from every line
But honey you're the
greatest actor of our time
Why I believe you cared for me that's how well you
played your part
And later for an encore you broke my trusting heart
But I
guess I should be grateful for the honor that was mine
I co-star with the
greatest actor of our time
Why I believe you cared for me...
Heart Trouble
The way you treat me baby
Cheat and tell me lies
I
guess I shouldn't care at all
But still I sympathize
'Cause you've got
heart trouble
Coming on
Yeah you got heart trouble coming on
Well
you think that you don't need me baby
But you're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You say that love can't touch you
You feel no pain at all
You think
that you're above it baby
but I believe you'll fall
'cause you've got
heart trouble coming on
Yeah you got heart trouble coming on
Well,
you'll get down on your knees baby
Begging me to come back home
You tell
me you'll find someone else
But on one's gonna care
'cause you have left
a trail
of broken hearts everywhere
Now, you'll got heart trouble coming
on
Yeah, You'll got heart trouble coming on
Well you'll know just how it
feels baby
When you're left here all alone
I Wanna Valtz
Well we used to waltz that go out dancin' now you look like a
cat a prancin'
I just stand with you at the floor while you swing out I
holler for more
I wanna waltz but I can't waltz without you I'd be so blue
Well you gotta bop and you ain't happy till they play you somethin' snappy
All you wanna do is go cat go all I wanna do is slow down slow
I wanna waltz
but I can't waltz without you I'd be so blue
I jig on the stand while the bop keeps a goin'
With the
music stuff you're poppin' and a blowin'
Looks like somethin' spite in you
but you cut loose and be bop a loo
I wanna waltz but I can't waltz without
you I'd be so blue
Well you gotta bop and you ain't happy...
Kansas City

Fujiyama Mama
I've been to Nagasaki Hiroshima too the same I did to them
baby I can do to you
Cause I'm a Fujiyama mama and I'm just about to blow my
top
Fujiyama-yama Fujiyama
And when I start erupting ain't nobody gonna
make me stop
I drink a quart of sakey smoke dynamite
I chase it with
tobaccy and then shoot out the light
Cause I'm a Fujiyama mama...
[ guitar
]
Well you can talk about me say that I'm mean
I'll blow your head off
baby with nitroglycerine
Cause I'm a Fujiyama mama...
Well you can say I'm crazy stone deaf and dumb
But I can
cause destruction just like the atom bomb
Cause I'm a Fujiyama mama...
I
drink a quart of sakey...
Midnight
Midnight I've spent another lonely day thinking of you
Midnight tomorrow is on its way empty and blue
I'm so lonely so lonely at
midnight for you
Midnight oh what a lonely time to weep I ought to know
Midnight I should have been fast asleep hours ago
Still I'm crying I'm crying
cause I miss you so
Midnight I've spent another lonely day....
Snowbird
Beneath this snowy mantle cold and clean
The unborn grass
lies waiting for its coat to turn to green
The snowbird sings the song he
always sings
And speaks to me of flowers that will bloom again in spring
When I was young my heart was young then too
Anything that it would tell me
that's the thing that I would do
But now I feel such emptiness within
For
the thing that I want most in life is the thing that I can't win
Spread your
tiny wings and fly away
And take the snow back with you where it came from on
that day
The one I love forever is untrue
And if I could you know that I
would fly away with you
The breeze along the river seems to say
That he'll
only break my heart again should I decide to stay
So little snowbird take it
with you when you go
To that land of gentle breezes where the peaceful waters
flow
Spread your tiny wings...
And if I could you know that I would fly
away with you
