Life's Gonna Change
from the single "Say You'll Be Mine", 1994
Just like Tarzan swingin' on a vine,
I move out left then come back right,
My life feels like a boomerang throw,
It's far away then it's right back home,
The giant pendulum,
Is swinging to and fro,
This road we're ridin' on where does it go?
And maybe soon it's gonna end but then you never know,
Hard as I try to get it all arranged, }
Life's gonna change. }
Just when I'm used to the pouring rain, } Chorus
That's when the sun starts shining again, }
Life's gonna change. }
While not smile while you got your smile?
The tears might come, might last a while,
You might as well live while you got your life,
'Cos it's a little too late when it's time to die.
The giant pendulum,
Is tickin' off the days,
I only blink and they have passed away,
And that's why every time I turn around I'm still amazed,
Chorus
(Sun is gonna shine)
Sun is gonna shine on me
(Sun is gonna shine)
Chorus
(Life is gonna change nothing ever stays the same)
Life's gonna change,
Just when I'm used to the pouring rain,
That's when the sun starts shining again,
Life's gonna change
Repeat to fade...
Next Time I Fall
from the duet with Peter Cetera
Love, like a road that never ends
How it leads me back again
To heartache
I'll never understand
Darling, I put my heart up on a shelf
Til the moment was right, and I told myself
The next time I fall in love
I'll know better what to do
The next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
The next time I fall in love
It will be with you
Now, as I look into you eyes
Well I wonder if it's wise
To hold you like I've wanted to before
Tonight, I was thinking that you might
Be the one who breathes life in this heart of mine
Next time I fall in love
I know better what to do
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
It will be with you
Next time I'm gonna follow through
And if it drives me crazy
I will know better why
The next time I try
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love
Next time I fall in love with you
It's Too Late
from the album "Tapestry Revisited", 1995
Stayed in bed all morning just to pass the time
There's something wrong here, there can be no denying
One of us is changing, or maybe we've stopped trying
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
It used to be so easy living here with you
You where light and breezy and I knew just what to do
Now you look so unhappy, and I feel like a fool
And it's too late, baby, now it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
There'll be good times again for me and you
But we just can't stay together, don't you feel it too
Still I'm glad for what we had, and how I once loved you
But it's too late, baby, it's too late
Though we really did try to make it
Something inside has died and I can't hide
And I just can't fake it
Love Me Tender
from the album "Honeymoon in Vegas" (soundtrack)
Love me tender, love me sweet, never let me go.
You have made my life complete and I love you so.
Love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfill.
For, my darlin', I love you and I always will.
Love me tender, love me long, take me to your heart.
For it's there that I belong and we'll never part.
Love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfill.
For, my darlin', I love you and I always will.
Love me tender, love me dear, tell me you are mine.
I'll be yours through all the years till the end of time.
Love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfill.
For, my darlin', I love you and I always will.
Somewhere Somehow
from the duet with Michael W. Smith on the album "Change Your World", 1992, by Michael W. Smith
Standing in our silence
I hear my heart beating
And if only I could choose
I'd stay here with you
But hold me till the train is leaving
Somewhere down the line
After you've gone from sight
Our love will be the same
And, whispering your name,
I'll cling to you with all my might
Let me dream of you
But it's true
And wake me up when this is over
Love will be there when this is over and
Chorus:
Somewhere far beyond today
I will find a way to find you
And somehow thru the lonely nights
I will leave a light in the dark
Let it lead you to my heart
There's a love inside us
Deep down inside
That goes without saying
Don't say a word
But I'll tell you just the same
And that love will fan the flame
And that flame will warm the heart that's waiting
You are mine and I'll wait for you my love
You are mine it may take some time
Even if it takes a lifetime
Tell me you'll wait
Chorus
Bridge:
And somewhere alone
I will be praying you home
I know that somewhere our love
Our love will lead me to your arms
Chorus
Friends
from the early duet with Michael W. Smith - not on the album "Change Your World", 1992, by Michael W. Smith but on his "The Second Decade", 2003,
listen to this super star version with Steven Curtis Chapman, Amy Grant, Michael W. Smith, Point Of Grace, Michael Tait (DC Talk), Mac Powell (Third Day) and Joy Williams
Packing up the dreams God planted
In the fertile soil of you
Can't believe the hopes He's granted
Means a chapter in your life is through
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
Chorus:
And friends are friends forever
If the Lord's the Lord of them
And a friend will not say never
'Cause the welcome will not end
Though it's hard to let you go
In the Father's hands we know
That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends
With the faith and love God's given
Springing from the faith we know
We will pray the joy you live in
Is the strength that now you show
But we'll keep you close as always
It won't even seem you've gone
'Cause our hearts in big and small ways
Will keep the love that keeps us strong
Chorus
Chorus
Lover Of My Soul
from the album "My Utmost For HIS Highest", 1995
When I see the winter turning into spring
It speaks to this heart of mine
More than anything
Underneath a blanket of snow, cold and white
Something is stirring in the still of the night
And then the sun comes up, slowly with the dawn
This is the kind of feeling
That I hang my hope upon
There is a love and beauty in all that I see
And no one, nobody is explaining you to me
And maybe my eyes can't see
But you are surrounding me
Here in the wind and rain
The things that I know
Tender and sweet
And strong as my need
I know the voice, I know the touch
Lover of my soul
And when the evening comes, the sunlight fades to red
And time and time and time again
I whisper in my head
Give me strength, give me faith, to fully believe
That the maker of this whole, wide world
Is a Father to me
And maybe my eyes can't see
But you are surrounding me
Here in the wind and rain
The things that I know
Tender and sweet
And strong as my need
I know the voice, I know the touch
Lover of my soul
I Got You
from the FOA Feb '96 Newsletter
Why don't we blow this town
Gas up that car of yours and put the pedal down
I want to own the open road
And have the kind of plans
You make up as you go
Cause you and me are one of a kind
You need your space and I need mine
And I am rich as any queen
And I' m not talking 'bout the money kind of thing
CHORUS:
I got you
And you got me
Some lucky fool's big ship came in
Yours got lost at sea
Me - I've got this funky little boat
And Baby you got me
Let's burn on through the night
Turn up the tunes until it feels just right
I need the cover of the dark
To loosen up my tongue to talk about my heart
To talk about this life
How fast we live, how soon we die
I don't believe it's a contest
Still, I think we made out better than the rest
Cause I got you
And you got me
You may not have the ace of spades
You may not hold the king
But somewhere in those cards you're dealt
Baby you got me
The Things We Do For Love
from the album "Mr. Wrong" (soundtrack), 1996
Too many broken hearts have fallen in the river
Too many lonely souls have drifted out to sea,
You lay your bets and then you pay the price
The things we do for love, the things we do for love.
Communication is the problem to the answer
You've got her number and your hand is on the phone
The weather's turned and all the lines are down
The things we do for love, the things we do for love.
Like walking in the rain and the snow
When there's nowhere to go
And you're feelin' like a part of you is dying
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes.
You think you're gonna break up
Then she says she wants to make up.
Ooh you made me love you
Ooh you've got a way
Ooh you had me crawling up the wall.
Like walking in the rain and the snow
When there's nowhere to go
And you're feelin' like a part of you is dying
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes.
You think you're gonna break up
Then she says she wants to make up.
Ooh you made me love you
Ooh you've got a way
Ooh you had me crawling up the wall.
A compromise would surely help the situation
Agree to disagree but disagree the part
When after all it's just a compromise of
The things we do for love, the things we do for love....
What Kind Of Love
from the Target "Behind The Eyes" Bonus CD, 1997
Pour me some coffee
I've got an hour before I go
Tell me a secret
Tell me something I don't know
Oh, in this life
I need you more than you could know
To hold my hand
To be my friend
To hear you tell me once again
CHORUS:
What kind of love
Is a love that won't breakdown
What kind of love
Honestly knows no bounds
Hopes all things
Believes all things
Never ever lets me go
What kind of love
I've got a new place
You've got a baby on the way
Time keeps on moving
Seems like nothing stays the same
Oh, in this life
It can be hard to keep the faith
Some truth you hold
Some you let go
But in the end you've got to know
CHORUS
What kind of love will still be here
When everything else has disappeared
And what kind of love is strong enough
To stand the test of time
CHORUS
Carry You
from the Target "Behind The Eyes" Bonus CD, 1997
later also on the album "WOW 1998"
Lay down your burdens
And I will carry you
I will carry you my child
Cause I can walk on water
Calm a restless sea
I've done a thousand things, you've never done
I'm here watching
While you struggle on your own
Call my name, I'll come
Lay down your burdens
And I will carry you
I will carry you my child
I give vision to the blind
I can raise the dead
I've seen a darker side of hell
And I've returned
I've seen these sleepless nights
I've watched every tear you cry
I know some lessons hurt to learn
Lay done your burdens
I will carry you
I will carry you, my child
After The Fire
from the enhanced single "Takes A Little Time", 1997
After the fire is over
After the ashes cool
After the smoke is blown away
I will be is for you
After the stillness finds you
After the winds of change
All that is good and true between us
This will remain the same
Slowly, slowly
We turn the pages of life
Growing, knowing
It comes at quite a price
After the fire is over
After the ashes cool
After the smoke is blown away
I will be here for you
After your time of wondering
Along this lonely road
There will be many voices calling
Mine will say welcome home
Slowly, slowly
We turn the pages of life
Growing, knowing
It comes at quite a price
After the fire is over
After the ash is cool
After the smoke is blown away
I will be here for you
I will be here for you
Come Ye Sinners, Poor And Needy
from the Fernando Ortega album "Storm", 2002
Duet with Amy Grant; Words by Joseph Hart, Refrain, source unknown; Music: Traditional American Melody, Walker's Southern Harmony 1835, Public Domain; Arranged by Fernando Ortega, John Andrew Schreiner
Come, ye sinners, poor and needy
Weak and wounded, sick and sore
Jesus ready, stands to save you
Full of pity, love and power
I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in His arms
In the arms of my dear Savior,
O, there are ten thousand charms
Come, ye thirsty, come and welcome
God's free bounty glorify
True belief and true repentance
Every grace that brings you nigh
Come, ye weary, heavy-laden
Lost and ruined by the fall
If you tarry 'til you're better
You will never come at all
I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in His arms
In the arms of my dear Savior,
O, there are ten thousand charms
See Him Prostate in the garden
On the ground your Maker lies
On the bloody tree, behold him
Sinner, will this not suffice?"
Lo! the incarnate God ascended
Pleads the merit of his blood
Venture on him, venture wholly
Let no other trust intrude
I will arise and go to Jesus
He will embrace me in His arms
In the arms of my dear Savior,
O, there are ten thousand charms
Gentle Shepherd
from the project album "Traveling Light", 2002
Music & Lyrics: Brown Bannister, Steve Hindalong
Gentle Shepherd,
Show us the way
Keep us safe,
On the journey
Give us shelter,
When the day is done
Lead us out,
Out of the darkness
Open our eyes,
When the morning comes
Show us the sun
CHORUS 1
Gentle Shepherd,
Show us the way
Grant us mercy,
Hope for tomorrow, and
Strength for a day
Gentle Shepherd
Show us your grace
When we fall,
Lift us up Lord
When we wander,
Bring us home again
Give us love,
For one another
Show us your power,
Help us understand
Merciful friend
CHORUS 2
Gentle Shepherd,
Show us the way
Grant us mercy,
Hope for tomorrow, and
Strength for a day
Gentle Shepherd,
Show us your grace
Show us your face
Blessed Jesus,
Show us your face

You still hold me when life gets crazy
Where should I be without You and Your

That is saving me

Forgive me for my unbelief
Renew the fire again
CHORUS
Lord have mercy

Now I am returning to Your mercies ever flowing
Pardon my transgressions

Like a river of forgiveness ever flowing without end
