Check my pulse, am I dying?
Did my heart, or is it just to hard Lord?
I thought I was fine
I thought I was fine
Chorus:
But oh Lord, I want to be perfect
But oh Lord, I’m just short by miles
Come and save me again
Well it doesn’t seem to matter what I do or say
I feel so close, but I’m so far away
Yeah I must be blind making my mind up
About every little thing in my life
And my faults, they keep catching up to me
Bringing me down, down, down to my knees
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Am I too far away?
Am I too far away?
Am I too far away?
Am I too far well I’m too far away?
(Repeat Chorus)
Ending:
I’m just short, short by miles
Help me Lord to seek you
Cause I love you Lord
2. Your Love Broke Through (top)

Like a foolish dreamer, trying to build
A highway to the sky
All my hopes would come tumbling down
And I never knew just why until today
When you pulled the away the clouds
That hung like curtains on my eyes
Well I’ve been blind all these wasted years
And I thought I was so wise
But then you took me by surprise
Chorus:
Like wakin’ up from the longest dream
How real it seemed
Until your love broke though
I was lost in a fantasy
That blinded me
Until your love broke through
All my life I’ve been searchin’
For that crazy missin’ part
And with one touch
You just rolled away the stone
That held my heart
And now I see the answer
Was as easy as just asking you in
And I’m so sure
I could never doubt your
Gentle touch again
It’s like the power of the wind
(Chorus x2)
Ending:
Until your love broke through

Well I’m going to raise a fuss
I’m going to raise a holler
About a working all summer just to
Try to earn a dollar
Every time I call my baby
And try to get a date my boss says
(No dice girl, you got to work late)
Chorus:
Sometimes I wonder what I’m going to do
Cause there ain’t no cure for the summertime blues
Well my mom and pop told girl
you got to make some money
if you want to use the car
go riding next Sunday
Well I didn’t go to work
Told the boss I was sick
(You can’t use the car cause you didn’t work a lick)
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Ain’t no cure for this summer time (Repeat x4)
Give me some summer time whoa (Repeat x3)
Summer Summer
Taking two weeks going to have a vacation
I’ll take my problem to the united nations
Well I told my congress man
And he said no
(I’d like to help you girl but you’re too young to vote)
(Chorus x2)
Summer time
(Repeat x2)
My money’s going to get me some
My money’s going to get me summer
(Repeat x3)

Intro: Uh, yeah… get down etc…
La La La La La La La La
La La La La La La La La
La La La La La La
Lavishly our lives are wasted
Humbleness is left untasted
You can’t live your live to please yourself
That’s a tip from my mistake
Exactly what it doesn’t take
To win you’ve got to come in last place
To live your life you’ve got to lose it
And all the losers get a crown
Chorus:
I get down, he lifts me up
I get down, he lifts me up
I get down, he lifts me up
I get down
All I need’s another day
Where I can’t seem to get away
From the many things that drag me down
Yeah, I’m sure you’ve had a day like me
Where nothing seems to set you free
From burdens you can’t carry all alone
In your weakness he is stronger
In you darkness He shines through
When you’re crying, He’s your comfort
When you’re all alone, He’s carrying you
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Every time I’m down the Lord lifts me up
This valley is so deep
I can barely see the sun
I cry out for mercy Lord
And you lift me up again
(Repeat chorus x2)
5. I’ll Hear Your Voice (top)
Words and Music: Scott Leonard
© Scott Leonard Music
And now that we’ve reached the end,
I think of all that’s past,
And how the time went so fast,
And of how I’ve come to depend,
Upon the faith I feel inside your guiding hands,
Say you’ll go with me forever,
Cause I know that you can,
Well I ain’t much with words,
There’s nothing I could say that you ain’t heard,
But I promise you each and every day.
Chorus 1
I’ll hear your voice,
In every thought that flows through my mind,
I’ll see your face,
In every cloud that floats through my sky.
Chorus 2
And when the world is to much,
And this world’s got me down on my knees to pray,
I’ll hear your voice,
And you won’t be so far away.
Do you remember a moonless night,
With only sound for a view,
It’s funny what an ocean can do,
Say you’ll go with me where ever,
Even though I know it’s just a dream,
Although I know it’s unknown,
But it’s something that I gotta do alone,
But I say to you I will never do anything without your soul inside.
(Chorus 1)
Bridge
Someday I’ll hold you Ooo and we will be sailing,
And I will never have to say goodbye again…til then, till that day.
(Chorus 1)
(Chorus 2)
6. You Walk With Me (top)
Words and Music: Scott Perreault (OVU 91)

You lead me to the fields where I find release,
You lead me to the quiet waters of peace,
And Though I have what I need sometimes I’m afraid,
So teach me to ask you for enough for today.
Chorus:
You are my gentle shepherd I’m a wondering lamb,
And you lead me to the table just as I am,
I know that you’d walk with me,
Through the valley of death,
And I know that you’d breath for me,
If I couldn’t take a breath,
And I know that you are near me,
Though I feel so alone,
So Lord each day lead me close in your way
O my Lord walk with me I pray.
You lift my weary soul my cup over flows,
And though I’m fraught with danger you’ve given flight to my foes,
The beauty that is your you’ve given to me,
So help me learn to trust you in all that I see.
(Chorus 2X)

Some people try to tell me

Though the storm and winds may blow,
Though the thunder’s all around me you’re in control,
Though I faint and lose my way,
You’re there to revive me; You’re my guide and my stay,
You hold me in your mighty arms,
And you keep me safe from harm.
Though I fall you raise me up,
Though my soul it feels empty you refill my cup,
Though I die I still live,
In the waters of your life that you freely give,
You hold me in your mighty arms,
And you keep me safe from harm.
And one day when life is o’re,
It’s then that I’ll see you and be afraid no more,
And then I’ll meet you in the sky,
And my life will be brand new I’ll be truly alive,
You hold me in your mighty arms forever safe from harm,
You hold me in your mighty arms forever safe from harm,
Forever safe from harm,
Forever safe from harm.

Not much more time to decide,
The prophets have all prophesied,
We only have a few more miles to go,
The news said it’s all going wrong,
But it’s news that I’ve known all along,
We only have a few more miles to go.
Despite the confusion I see,
Promises He gave are my guarantee,
We’re not alone,
We’re on our way home,
Ohh (We only have a few more miles to go).
Now sometimes I want to give up,
I don’t want to drink from this cup,
Few miles (We only have a few more miles to go).
And I’m here to win,
I’d have it no other way,
Few more miles (We only have a few more miles to go).
And I’m gonna press to the end,
I intend to finish strong and then,
I’ll see God’s face,
The one that I, I adore,
Few more (We only have a few more miles to go).
Ohh yeah,
There’s no more trouble where I’m going,
And that’s the place where I belong.
There’s a joy, a joy that comes from knowing,
I can leave these cares behind yeah,
When I finally reach my home.
I’ll see God’s face,
The one that I adore,
Have a few more miles… (We only have a few more miles to go),
Don’t give up,
(We only have a few more miles to go),
You can’t give in,
We only have a few more miles to go.

Whenever things are high
Whenever things are low

I’ll follow though the darkness
blots out my view

Your footsteps are faint

My world turns its back on you
Yes I will go

Through valleys deep and wide
And in your shadow hide
I will follow
Lord, I’ll follow you
Though I may be small
You are my all in all

I’ll follow even when I’m afraid
(Chorus)

Who's the one who is here today
Leadin' everybody to the heavenly way?

Showing everybody what the spirit is worth?

Nobody, nobody, no, no

Though He lived in the distant past
Everything He taught us through the Bible will last
