1. ONE DAY AT A TIME
I'm only human.
I'm just a woman.
Lord help me believe in all I can be
And all that I am.
Show me the stairway that I have to climb
And Lord for my sake
Teach me to take one day at a time.
One day at a time sweet Jesus
That's all that I'm asking from You.
Lord give me the strength to do every day what I have to do.
Yesterday's gone sweet Jesus and tomorrow may never be mine.
Lord help me today show me the way one day at a time.
Now do You remember when You walked among men?
Well Jesus You know if You're looking below
It's worse now than then.
Pushing and shoving violence and crime
And so for my sake teach me to take one day at a time.
One day at a time sweet Jesus
That's all that I'm asking from You.
Lord give me the strength to do every day what I have to do.
Yesterday's gone sweet Jesus and tomorrow may never be mine.
Lord help me today and show me the way one day at a time.
Lord help me today show me the way
One day at a time.

2. FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND
(Spoken)
One night I had a dream. I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the lord.
And across the sky flashed scenes from my life. For each scene I noticed two sets of footprints in the sand. One set belonged to me, and the other to the lord. When the last scene of my life flashed before us, I looked back at the footprints in the sand. And I noticed that many times along the path of life, there was only one set of footprints. I also noticed that it happened at the very lowest and saddest times in my life. This really bothered me so I questioned the lord about it.
(Sung)
One set of footprints in the sand
Lord, you promised me you'd hold my hand
Tell my why in the troubled time I looked back and I would find
One set of footprints in the sand
(Spoken)
Lord, you said that once I decided to follow you, you would walk with me all the way. But I noticed that during the most troublesome times in my life thereI's only one set of footsteps. I donI't understand why in times I needed you most you should leave me. And the Lord replied, My precious, precious child, I love you. And I would never, never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you saw only one set of footprints, it was then that I was carrying you.
(Sung)
One set of footprints in the sand
Oh yes, at last I understand
Through every storm he carried me now I praise the lord each time I see
One set of footprints in the sand
One set of footprints in the sand

3. LOVE LIFTED ME
1. I was sinking deep in sin, far from the peaceful shore,
Very deeply stained within, sinking to rise no more,
But the Master of the sea heard my despairing cry,
From the waters lifted me, now safe am I.
* Refrain:
Love lifted me!
Love lifted me!
When nothing else could help,
Love lifted me!
2. All my heart to Him I give, ever to Him " cling,
In His blessed presence live, ever His praises sing,
Love so mighty and so true, merits my soul’s best songs,
Faithful, loving service, too, to Him belongs.
3. Souls in danger, look above, Jesus completely saves,
He will lift you by His love, out of the angry waves.
He’s the Master of the sea, billows His will obey,
He your Savior wants to be, be saved today.

4. THE OLD RUGGED CROSS
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross,
The emblem of suffering and shame;
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.
To the old rugged cross I will ever be true,
It's shame and reproach gladly bear;
Then he'll call me some day to my home far away,
Where his glory forever I'll share.
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross,
Till my trophies at last I lay down;
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
And exchange it some day for a crown.

5. THE MAN FROM GALILEE
It was Christmas eve in a little Texas town,
The snow was falling softly to the ground,
Outside a little chapel stood a man,
With sightless eyes, a candle in his hand.
Chorus:
Oh Lord if you're there help me in,
I need you to light a candle for a friend,
Who came from a land across the sea,
They called him the man from Galilee.
But no one seemed to hear his lonely cry,
They laughed in Christmas cheer and walked on by,
Inside they watched a clock upon the wall,
Put silver in the box and left for home.
'Soon the church was quiet in the night,
And one by one the candles lost their light,
In darkness now the old man knelt to pray'
Forgive them Lord they must have lost their way....
Oh Lord if you're there hear my prayer,
Let the message of your Birthday fill the air,
Let the lesson of your love help us to see,
That Christmas is the man from Galilee.
Chorus

6. BLUE CHRISTMAS
I'll be so blue thinking about you
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing dear, if you're not here with me
And when those blue snowflakes start fallin'
That’s when those blue heartaches start callin'
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas
Decorations of red on a green Christmas tree
Won't mean a thing dear, if you're not here with me
And when those blue snowflakes start fallin'
That’s when those blue heartaches start callin'
You'll be doin' all right, with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue Christmas

7. WHY ME LORD?
Why me Lord, what have I ever done
To deserve even one
Of the pleasures I've known
Tell me Lord, what did I ever do
That was worth loving you
Or the kindness you've shown.
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so
Help me Jesus I know what I am
Now that I know that I've need you so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand.
Tell me Lord, if you think there's a way
I can try to repay
All I've taken from you
Maybe Lord, I can show someone else
What I've been through myself
On my way back to you.
Lord help me Jesus, I've wasted it so
Help me Jesus I know what I am
Now that I know that I've need you so
Help me Jesus, my soul's in your hand.

8. JUST A CLOSER WALK WITH THEE
I am weak but thou art strong,
Jesus, keep me from all wrong,
I'll be satisfied as long
As I walk, let me walk close to thee.
Just a closer walk to Thee,
Jesus grant my humble plea!
Daily walking close to thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
Through this world of toils and snares,
If I falter Lord, who cares,
Who with me my burden shares?
None but thee, my dear Lord, none but thee.
Just a closer walk to Thee,
Jesus grant my humble plea!
Daily walking close to thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.
When the journey here is o'er,
Time for me will be no more,
Guide me to thy distant shore,
To thy shore, O dear Lord, to thy shore.
Just a closer walk to Thee,
Jesus grant my humble plea!
Daily walking close to thee,
Let it be, dear Lord, let it be.

10. TRY
You spun that web baby, you made that bed baby
You built that brick wall that you're running into, ooh, ooh
You bare that cross baby, I pay the cost baby
Now you loose, it don't matter what you do
You can try to change me
You can say what you want with you pretty little lies
You can beg, you can plead
But you won't get to me this time, this time
But you can try
Use all the strength you got, go on take your best shot
But it won't touch me, I know I won't feel a thing
You've left me no choice baby, listen to my voice baby
I mean what I mean
But you can try to change me
You can say what you want with you pretty little lies
You can beg, you can plead
But you won't get to me this time, this time
But you can try
Try
(Try, try)
Try
(Try, try)
You can try to change me
You can say what you want with you pretty little lies
You can beg, you can plead
But you won't get to me this time, this time
But you can try, you can try, yeah
You spun that web baby, you made that bed baby
You can try but you won't change my mind
No you won't change my mind
