1. _ I Got It
Hmm, hmm, oh, oh
The situation's telling me
I should believe all hope is lost
But from the looks of things
I should be crying
But because i know in whom i trust
My heart tells me to rejoice
My faith in you keeps telling me to hold on
1 - whatever you want
I got it
Whatever you need
I got it
It's all in me
I've got it
I got it
Repeat 1
Is life just failing me?
Times seem to be so hard
Everything crumbles in my face
One dollar short, one day late
Then i remember that maybe
I just forgot to pray
And when i call on you
All you have to say
Repeat 1 (2x)
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, ooh, whoo
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Repeat 1 (4x)
He's got it, he's got it...
I got it...

3. _ Thankful
Lord i'm thankful for my blessings
Everything that you gave
Times when danger was around me
My life lord you saved
Where would i be without your love
Where would i be without your grace
You didn't have to do it but i'm glad you did
Can't pretend that what i got
I got it on my own
Every move that i made
Can't say i never been wrong
When i fell you picked me up again
Thought i brought it on myself
I can always depend on you
Whenever i need help
Lord i'm thankful for my blessings
Everything that you gave
Times when danger was around me
My life lord you saved
Where would i be without your love
Where would i be without your grace
You didn't have to do it but i'm glad you did
The next time you go to sleep
And you wake up alright
Remeber that he kept you safe
And warm all through the night
Lift your hands and lift them high
And this is what you say
Lord you didn't have to give me
One more day
Lord i'm thankful for my blessings
Everything that you gave
Times when danger was around me
My life lord you saved

6. _ Be Happy
My heart has found a new beat
Ever since you came into my life
No i don't lose no sleep
'cause i know he's walking by my side
And if you're looking for me
Safe in his arms is where you'll find me
'cause i've gotta be
Gotta be happy
Wanna be happy
I was searching for a long time
For the right one to give my heart to
Then suddenly i looked to the sky
And i realized that it should be you
'cause sometimes i stray away
And i make mistakes
But you still love
So now and forever
Your arms is where i wanna be
My heart has found a new beat
Ever since you came into my life
No i don't lose no sleep
'cause i know he's walking by my side
And if you're looking for me
Safe in his arms is where you'll find me
'cause i've gotta be
Gotta be happy
Wanna be happy
Tell me how would you describe happiness
Right now you're all good, later you're a mess
Maybe you should start making some changes
Ever consider reaching towards heaven
Your burden will get lighter and you'll have no desire
To turn away 'cause i can say
That his love won't ever change
My heart has found a new beat
Ever since you came into my life
No i don't lose no sleep
'cause i know he's walking by my side
And if you're looking for me
Safe in his arms is where you'll find me
'cause i've gotta be
Gotta be happy
Wanna be happy
Never end had a treasure
Just call my own
Until you came along
No matter what happens
You're mine forever
You've captured my soul
And i won't let go
My heart has found a new beat
Ever since you came into my life
No i don't lose no sleep
'cause i know he's walking by my side
And if you're looking for me
Safe in his arms is where you'll find me
'cause i've gotta be
Gotta be happy
Wanna be happy

7. _ One Minute
Oh, hmm, hmm
I know it now that i was such a fool
To turn my back on you
When you had given me everything
I let you down, i know that's true
Now i've come to realize that there
There are no happy days because
You're not here, i need to know if
There's a chance for me again, oh
1 - all i need is one minute of your time
Five seconds of it may change your mind
Ten seconds to make you see
Fifteen to say lord i'm sorry
For all the things i've done
I'll take twenty more to say you're the one
Nine to think it through
I'll take the one to say i love you
Late at night when i was all alone
You held me in your arms
I strayed away only to find
There was no place to hide
Lord please hear me when i say
I'll give my life to you
Whatever i've gotta do
Show me lord and i will live for you
Repeat 1
I'm not willing to, to give up on you
Knowing that you always stood right by me
Until you forgive me my world won't turn
So if you hear me lord
I'm saying that i'm sorry
Said i'm saying that i'm sorry, oh

8. _ Good To Me
No, no it ain't the way it used to be and
Yea, yes, it may be hard to believe
When, when i think about all my blessings
I, oh i'm telling you god's been good to me
Growing up in a real big family
I had to a take what i could get
There was always a sister or brother
I had to share every thing with
I had to share my room, wear hand-me-downs
'cause we didn't have much money
But now there's not much i long for
Telling you god's been good to me
No, no it ain't the way it used to be and
Yea, yes, it may be hard to believe
When, when i think about all my blessings
I, oh i'm telling you god's been good to me
You may think i've got it easy
And that's the way it's always been
But that's not really my story
I'll tell you how it all happened
I had to work real hard to get here
But i didn't do it all alone
Someone was watching over me
And that is why i sing this song
No, no it ain't the way it used to be and
Yea, yes, it may be hard to believe
When, when i think about all my blessings
I, oh i'm telling you god's been good to me
If i began to count my blessings
I wouldn't know where to begin
God has done so much for me
He's been much more that a friend
He's been protector and provider
Though i didn't always know
Always been right beside me
And without him where would i be
No, no it ain't the way it used to be and
Yea, yes, it may be hard to believe
When, when i think about all my blessings
I, oh i'm telling you god's been good to me

9. _ Somebody
Everybody has bad days
When they feel like no one cares
Call your friends in the middle of the night
And they just can't be there
I know someone who's available
And he'll answer every time you call
He won't ever leave you alone
That's just the kind of friend you should know
1 - anybody know somebody
Someone who will love anybody
Even if they're just a nobody
I know somebody, somebody
Repeat 1
Let me offer you a suggestion
And i'll leave without no doubt
A love that reaches far and wide
That's where my faith lies
Let me tell you why
Cause every time i'm sad and lonely
He comes and puts his arms around me
Cause god's love is the first
And it is the last so if you ask
Repeat 1 (2x)
Oh i got a friend who loves me so
You ask how much i'll never know
And since i've found this love
I want to share it with everyone, oh
Repeat 1 (2x)
Oh do you know?
Oh do you know? oh!
Repeat 1 fade out

10. _ What A Friend
You know people told me all of my life
True friendship's hard to come by
But i had to find out for myself
Now i've finally come to realize, oh, oh
1 - what a friend we have in jesus
All of our sins and griefs he'll bare
What a privilege to carry
Everything to god in prayer
2 - everything to god in prayer
All my strength in never ending loss
Friends with limited warranties, yea-oh
Until you i never knew a lifetime guaranteed
Friend could really be my reality, oh
Repeat 1
Repeat 2 (5x)
Repeat 1 till end

(spoken)
(whoo!
It sure is hot out here
Ya know?
I don't mind, though.
Just glad to be free.

In the corners of my mind
I just can't seem to find a reason to believe
That i can break free
Cause you see i have been down for so long
Feel like all hope is gone

You broke the chains now i can lift my hands
And i'm gonna praise you

12. _ Can't Give Up Now
can't give up now
There will be mountains that i will have to climb
And there will be battles that i will have to fight
But victory all defeat, it's up to me to decide
But how can i expect to win if i never try.
I just can't give up now
I've come too far from where i started from
Nobody told me the road would be easy
And i don't believe he brought me this far to leave me
Never said there wouldn't be trials
Never said i would't fall
Never said that everything would go the way i want it to go
But when my back is against the wall
And i feel all hope is gone,
I'll just lift my head up to the sky
And say help me to be strong
I just can't give up now
I've come too far from where i started from
Nobody told me the road would be easy
And i don't believe he brought me this far to leave me
Hook:
I know you didn't bring me, out here to leave me lonely
Even when i can't see clearly
I know that you are with me(so i can't)
I just can't give up now
I've come too far from where i started from
Nobody told me the road would be easy
And i don't believe he brought me this far to leave me

Keep moving, keep moving
Keep moving, keep moving

Yo from the brooklyn bridge to the woods of holly
I roll like tonto, houncho kimosabee
Butta's still here

Past behind me, present look pleasant
Future the bomb
Far beyond i'm headed
Big butta j-a-y uh
Oh my lord

So i still ain't tried
[mary mary]
Back when i was a little child it wasn't easy
Mama didn't always have a job
To take care of me
But i love her cause she tried so hard to do her best
But when she fell short god did all the rest
That's why...
I sing about what he's done
For me it's been so much
That i couldn't even tell if i tried
I sing just to let the whole world know
That we all got something to
Be grateful for so lift your voice
Couldn't possibly remember all
The things you've done
In my life i've seen some weary days
But with you i've overcome
Why wouldn't i say yes to you
When you gave your life for me
Now i'll give mine to you
And i'm gone tell everybody
I sing about what he's done
For me it's been so much
That i couldn't even tell if i tried
I sing just to let the whole world know
That we all got something to
Be grateful for so lift your voice
You don't know like i know
What he's done for me
(what he's done for me)
Take a look at your life and you too will see
(you will see)
Ain't no way we've come this far all by ourselves
(by ourselves)
Many blessing great and small
Now let's take some time and that him for them all
[bbj]
Big bro j-a-y, you know i stay fly with my husky self
Mustard seed faith manifest mustard seed wealth

To open your vocals and go loco for do lo

To get up off the wall and hit the dance floor boo

For me it's been so much
That i couldn't even tell if i tried
I sing just to let the whole world know
That we all got something to
Be grateful for so lift your voice

14. _ Still My Child
He had many of bad habits
He was trying hard to break
And every time he thought it got better
He would make another mistake
Though he knows he's far from perfect
He is trying to live right
He asked me to ask you father
Would you hear his prayer tonight?
He said you tell him i really need him
I really want to change
The next time you talk to god
Would you please mention my name
Tell him i really love him
And although it's been a while
Ask him for me am i still his child
I asked her how she was doing
She said not so good lately
Then i told her girl you know
You can always talk to me
She said these days haven't been so happy
Don't have much peace of mind
Now i know i should be praying
But i have had much tell
He said you tell him i really need him
I really want to change
The next time you talk to god
Would you please mention my name
Tell him i really love him
And although it's been a while
Ask him for me am i still his child
I know the answer to your question
Yes the father still loves
Sometimes when you have childern
You don't always like what they do
So when go to your heavenly father
Say lord i love you
And when you ask him for forgiveness
This is what he'll say to you
I sent a message in the word
When the birds sang their song
And when you went to sleep last night
I told the moon shine all night long
Just wanted you to talked to me
And i know it's been a while
And to answer the question
You are still his child
