I knelt to pray...I felt his presense there.
He always said..that he would meet me there,
Down on my knees ..I talk to him each day..
His love for me ...he showed at calvary..
Oh..he  died for me ...
he died for me .

No greater love ..can there be shown to man..
God  gave his son ..it was his master plan.
He walked this earth..to pave the way for me ..
His love he's shown, thru out eternity....
Oh...he died for me ..
He died for me ..

( music break)
Down on your knees ..you'll always find him there...
Lift up your voice,  ..he'll always hear your prayer..
You are his child..your.. Father knows ..your needs..
Gods only son ..for you ,will intercede....
OH ..he died for you ...
he died for me ..
(tag) 
OH...he died for you........
HE....died...for....me...eeeeeee 
 

I lift up Jesus and his holy name,
I shout to the father cause he will proclaim,
We lift up our voices in his name,
We are his people, so shout out his name.

JESUS, ABBA, Father,
You are my God...
I will never forsake you Lord,
Always will I shout your name.
Always will I shout your name.
Cause you are my God.

I've searched high and I've searched low,
Now I've found my faith and I'm starting to grow.
We lift up our voices in his name,
We are his people so shout out his name.

Jesus, ABBA, FATHER,
You are my God...
I will never forsake you lord,
Always will I shout your name.
Always will I shout your name.
Cause you are my God.
 

i see the tears in their eyes,
as they ask for the reason's why,
and still the answer to their questions are no where to be found.
theres nothing they can do,what has been done was done.
they  stand and stare at the many graves of their friends.

(chorus)
sometimes if your lonely,
look up to the sky.
there you will touch a part of them,
you'll never be lonely cos forever in your hearts they will be (ohhh) 
forever in your hearts they will be.

the ones who have surived the trategty lives in fear.
some are afraid to go to places,
some are in a daze,
some are confused and some can't sleep at night 
knowing their loved ones are gone forever.

(repeat chorus)

sometimes when your lonely,
reach up to the skies,
their you will find them there smiling back at you.
then you will see,they never left you,
even though you can't see them they are always by yourside.
cos forever in your hearts they will be.(yeah)
forever in your hearts they will be.
 

Heavenly Father, I come to you on my knees in prayer.
Merciful Father, The needs I have, I place them in your care.
I will lay my belongings at your feet.
I will do whatever your will commands of me.

Heavenly Father, I need for you to wash away my past.
Merciful Father, surround me now, with your supporting cast.
I don't want to live another day in shame.
I just want to know and love your precious name.

CHORUS:
Please change me...please, please Father change me of my ways.
Please change me...please, please Father carry me each day.
I want you in my life...all the way.
I need your wisdom in me every day.
Please let your spirit dwell inside of me.
I'll always follow you to where you lead.
I'll always follow you to where you lead.

Heavenly Father, allow me time to serve you with my life.
Merciful Father, give me strength to overcome their stripes.
Let me walk in the light that you sent forth.
Teach me all the ways that you are to be adored.

CHORUS

Please change me, please, please Father change me of my ways.
Please change me, please, please Father carry me each day.
Please...please...please...please.
 

Here I am today taking a good look at who I am
Where I've come from where I've been
There's so much I didn't understand

Then I gaze around our world 
And marvel at who you are
The creator of the seasons
The maker of the sun, moon and stars

Dear Lord,
This is my love letter to you
Thank you for all that you do
Even when I didn't know you
You sent your angels in my trials to see me through...

You've found your will in my life
Even though I still have so much to do
But when I quiet myself and listen to my heart
It brings me one step closer to you

I believe that the key to life is living in your word
This is the gift of all to give
And when I die if I've unlocked just one door
Then I have truly lived

Dear Lord,
This is my love letter to you
You've touched my heart, mind and the song of my soul too
What I see and realize
Brings tears right to my eyes...

Although there will be days I falter, my sin ready to attack
It's only because you are by my side
That the journey is shorter to find my way back

When I have doubts and fears
On whatever is happening to me
I remind myself of your awesome wonders
Like rainbows and the parting of the sea

Dear Lord,
This is my love letter to you
Thank you for all the blessings you've given me
Husband, children and family
Faith, hope, love, forgiveness and prayer
The Ultimate Promise that whatever may happen--
You will always be there... 
 

I wiped away the tears
That were coming from my eyes
The memories were coming
But were not passing by 

All I could think of 
Was the times we had
And now that your gone 
That's all I'll have 

No more visits or stories 
Or going out to play 
It's all gone by so fast 
I  didn't get to say 

(Chorus)
How I love you 
For what you gave to me
How I love you
For what you said to me
How I love you 
For sharing your love and trust
How I love you
For telling me about Jesus 

Now years have passed
And I have kids of my own
Thanks to your love
The seeds have been sown 

I can stand up
And be proud to say
I know Jesus
And he's here to stay 

He stopped me from burning
He saved me from Hell 
How can I ask for more
But I wish to tell, you 

(Chorus) 

Now I'm older
And now I see
What you were saying
Didn't just apply to me 

It needs to be passed on
Throughout the world
To every single person 
Every boy and girl 

Untill the time comes
And to heaven I go
To be with Jesus
And my friend of old 

(Chorus)
(Chorus)
 

What if what they say is wrong
And the angels came down to earth one day
Would they see everyone that had strayed, 
would they change their souls or show them the punishment they'll pay? 
If they roads in heaven are paved with gold would the roads in hell be lonely and cold? 
Would we all have peace? 

Chorus
If we all got along would the angels come down and sing us a song?
Would they show us heaven and the meaning of life?
Or would they fill the souls of those of those with hatred and strife with love?
Or are they only dreams? 

Bad as people might be might be would the angels love us and show us generosity 
Could the angels of hell come up one day and try to fill our souls with frustration
Would we have the power to defeat them? 
And live our lives knowing the angels' overhead will protect us 

Repeat Chorus
 

Chorus: 
Once you come into the light you can never go back into the darkness. 
Once you discover what is right you can never turn around, never turn around. 
Once you come into the light you can never go back into the darkness. 

All along I knew something was wrong with us. And I'd have to give you up. 
But I just deceive myself again, even though I knew it was a sin.
So I block it out of my mind. And in the end it's hard to find at the end of the day. 
My inner voice my inner man, that I finally pushed away. 

(chorus) 

And I know it will only be bad in the end, 
cause at the end of this bad road is a bad place. 
And even if you wanted to believe me, 
I don't think you could cause too many times you pushed the truth away. 

(chorus) 

The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life. 
And you just don't want to believe me baby, you don't want to get your life right.
 

I pray for the lady on the corner
that sleeps in the allie ways
i pray for the man on the park bench
that hasn't eaten in days
i pray for all the people
that never had a chance
and i wonder, my lord
where are you for them? 

i have my life cut out
i got ever thing i need
never had a problem
makin' my ends meet
God's been good to me in my life
he's been so very kind
but i see the sick, the homeless
and pray they get their time 

i pray for the child in the window
of the broken factory
i pray for the woman at the bus stop
that has nothing on her feet
i pray for all the people
that never had a chance
and i wonder, my lord
where are you for them? 

you've helped me every day of my life
you gave me every chance
but lord, my lord, i want to know 
where are you for them?
where are you for them?
where are you for them?
 

VERSE: 
YOU ASK WHAT I WOULD DO
TO SHOW MY LOVE FOR YOU
AND I SAY ANYTHING (ANYTHING)
YOU ASK IF MY HEART IS TRUE AND 
HOW LONG I WILL SERVE YOU
AND I SAY ETERNALLY (ETERNALLY)
WHAT CAN I SAY (CAN I SAY)
OTHER MEN HAVEN'T SAID?
WHERE CAN I GO (CAN I GO)
OTHER MEN HAVEN'T TREAD? 

CHORUS: 
YOU ARE MY LIFE
YOU'RE THE REASON I AM HERE
YOU ARE MY LIFE
I PRAY MY WORDS ARE CLEAR
YEARS FROM NOW
WHEN FRIENDS ASK HOW
I NEVER GAVE UP THE FIGHT
I'LL SIMPLY SMILE AND SAY
I MADE IT THROUGH EVERYDAY FOR
YOU ARE MY LIFE 

VERSE: 
CAN YOU SEE THAT ALL I DO
I DO FOR ONLY YOU
YES, I'D DO ANYTHING (ANYTHING)
CAN YOU FEEL MY LOVE INSIDE
I HAVE NOTHING HERE TO HIDE
I'D TELL YOU ANYTHING (ANYTHING)
WHAT CAN I GIVE (CAN I GIVE)
COMPARED TO THE GIFTS YOU GIVE TO ME
WHO CAN I SHOW (CAN I SHOW)
THIS LOVE SO THEY WILL SEE . . . 

CHORUS: (REPEAT) 

TAG: 
YEARS FROM NOW
WHEN FRIENDS ASK HOW
I NEVER GAVE UP THE FIGHT
I'LL SIMPLY SMILE AND SAY, AGAIN
YOU ARE MY LOVE AND MY BEST FRIEND FOR
YOU ARE MY LIFE
