Lyrics
I dedicate this song to recession
Depression and unemployment
This song’s for you
Today’s a new day, but there is no sunshine
Nothing but clouds, and it’s dark in my heart
And it feels like a cold night
Today’s a new day, where are my blue skies
Where is the love and the joy that you promised me
Tell me it’s alright
I almost gave up, but a power that I can’t explain
Fell from heaven like a shower
I smile, even though I hurt see I smile
I know God is working so I smile
Even though I’ve been here for a while
I smile, smile
It’s so hard to look up when you been down
Sure would hate to see you give up now
You look so much better when you smile, so smile
Today’s a new day, but there is no sunshine
Nothing but clouds and it’s dark in my heart
And it feels like a cold night
Today’s a new day, tell me where are my blue skies
Where is the love and the joy that you promised me
Tell me it’s alright
I almost gave up, but a power that I can’t explain
Fell from heaven like a shower now
I smile, even though I hurt see I smile
I know God is working so I smile
Even though I’ve been here for a while
I smile, smile
It’s so hard to look up when you been down
Sure would hate to see you give up now
You look so much better when you smile
Smile for me
Can you just smile for me
Smile for me
Can you just smile for me
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
(And while you’re praying)
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
(Look in the mirror)
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
(Always remember)
You look so much better when you smile, come on
I almost gave up, but a power that I can’t explain
Fell from heaven like a shower now
I smile, even though I hurt see I smile
I know God is working so I smile
Even though I’ve been here for a while
I smile, smile
It’s so hard to look up when you been down
Sure would hate to see you give up now
You look so much better when you smile, so smile
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Oh oh oh you look so much better when you
Smile
See I just want don’t you to be happy
‘Cause then you have to have something you haven’t been
I want you to have joy ’cause can’t nobody
Take that away from you
I see you smile

Lyrics:
If I could have your attention
Don’t mean to waste your time
I’d like to tell a little story
How I was lost and couldn’t find my way
Then I met Jesus
Something started to change
I ain’t proud of the past
I’m proud of the fact that I’m not who I was now

I am different now
Every part of me
Has been touched by freedom
Oh Jesus, Ya gotta hold on me
I fell but somehow
You refused to leave
Now all my wrong forgiven
Oh Jesus, Ya gotta hold on me

Born in North Carolina
Outside the county lines
Yea, I came up in the struggle
And on the streets I had to find my way
But that was just a chapter
It was not the end
I ain’t proud of the past
But I’m proud of the fact that I’m not who I was now

I am different now
Every part of me
Has been touched by freedom
Oh Jesus, Ya gotta hold on me
I fell but somehow
You refused to leave
Now all my wrong forgiven
Oh Jesus, Ya gotta hold on me

No matter what comes or goes
One thing is for sure
You won’t let me go
You got a hold on me
And when I’m losing control
You’re dependable
No, you won’t let go
You got a hold on me

No matter what comes or goes
One thing is for sure
You won’t let me go
You got a hold on me
And when I’m losing control
You’re dependable
No, you won’t let go
You got a hold on me

We want to thank Travis and Jon for stopping by the service this evening
We’ll be serving plate dinners in the back
Come and get you some red Kool-Aid because you know you’ve been changed
Hallelujah
See, it feels real good right now
Now I want to talk to you a little bit more
I’m not finished with you, talk to em

I used to fall asleep in Sunday school
Sang in the choir so I could sit right next to you, yeah
Puppy love, but see now I forget your name
Cuz after time, memories they fade away
But still the day I could never let it go
That Sunday morning when I met the Holy Ghost
On my mama, church boy, now I’ll never be the same
Jesus paid it all and told me I could keep the change
Pull up

Something’s gotta hold on me

Lyrics: Just For Me by Kirk Franklin
Keep on making a way, making a way
Just for me
You keep on making a way, making a way
Just for me
You keep on making a way, making a way
Just for me
Just for me
Many doors you’ve closed
Just for me
Sometimes you will say no
So I’ll be
Tested in your fire
To purify my desires
So my blessings won’t be
Just for me
So caught up in myself
I couldn’t see
The world did not revolve around me
So storms are in your will
So I can feel what others feel
Their needs, if I could speak honestly
It don’t feel good
But growing never does
It don’t seem fair
For you to call this love
But if necessary pain
Is the ingredient for change
Even when life may be bittersweet
It’s working
Just for me
All the moments I missed
That were just for me
Because I chose not to
Wait patiently
Before every mistake
Was the same amount of grace
That kept my blessing waiting
Just for me
But trust in your timing is not easy
And what I want’s not always what I need
Somewhere I forgot
You are God and I am not
I see, if I could speak honestly
It don’t feel good
But growing never does
It don’t seem fair
For you to call this love
But if necessary pain
Is the ingredient for change
Even when life may be bittersweet (yeah)
It’s working
You got me like (ooh, la la)
I’m being broken like (ooh, la la) c’mon
And now my heart is like (ooh, la la)
(la la la la la) sing
I’m singing, ooh, la la
And now I’m growing like (ooh, la la)
‘Cause it was painful like (ooh, la la)
(la la la la la) background, sing
It don’t feel good
But growing it never does
It don’t seem fair
For you to call this love
But if necessary pain
Is the ingredient for change
Even when life may be bittersweet (truth is)
It don’t feel good (let’s go)
But growing it never does
It don’t seem fair (yeah, can you feel me)
For you to call this love
But if necessary pain (yes)
Is the ingredient for change (yes sir)
Even when life may be bittersweet
It’s working
Just for me
Keep on making a way, making a way, just for me
Just for me
Keep on making a way, making a way, just for me, just for me
Just for me
Keep on making a way, making a way, just for me
Just for me
Keep on making a way, making a way, just for me
Just for me
