The Music - Lyrics
My Heavenly Father Watches Over Me (written by Charles Hutchison and C.W. Martin)

I trust in God, wherever I may be
Out in the land, out on the stormy sea
Oh come what may, from day to day
My heavenly father watches over me

He is a friend, he's so dear to me
You know He walks me with
All through the night and the day
Oh, come what may, from day to day
My heavenly father watches over me

Chorus:
I trust in God
I know he cares for me
On the mountain peak
Out on the stormy sea
Though the billows may roll
He keeps my soul
My heavenly father watches over me

(Repeat chorus)
(Ad lib to end)

He's Not Far Away (written by Russell Jeter III - music inspiration by Sean Dickerson)

For as long as I've known
God has always been there
Watching over me
Even though I may not care
He knows of my needs
He knows of my failures too
If you only believe
He'll do many things for you

Chorus:
Oh God will always be there
He's not far away
Tell him what's on your mind
You'll see that things will be fine

Sometimes in our lives
Trials come to bring us down
You try to hold up your head
But there seems to be a cloud
You have to try to be strong
And keep your eyes on the prize
Tell him what's going on
And soon you'll realize

(Repeat chorus)

Bridge:
If you feel like you're alone
And no one knows your struggles
You don't have to be afraid
He will make a way


(Repeat verse 2)
(Repeat chorus to end)

Guaranteed (written by Steve Langley and Donovan Black)

I know you're tired
I can hear you sigh
Deceived so many times before
You wrap your heart
In a pretty box
And soon the thief is out the door

Channel:
But try me this time, sign on the bottom line
I'm here to stay
And if you decide that you're not satisfied
I'll return your love and you can walk away

Chorus:
Guaranteed, guaranteed
I promise to give you the very best of me
Guaranteed, guaranteed
I will love you sincerely guaranteed

Now I can sense
You're not convinced
I know your heart is not for sale
And you can feel
When love is real
It's much more than a business deal

(Repeat Channel)
(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
If you need to think it through
I won't pressure you
Feel free to take your time
You don't have to fear
I'll be standing near
The moment you make up your mind

(Repeat Channel)
(Repeat Chorus)

I will love you sincerely
Keep your love oh so near me
I will treasure you dearly
Oh, it's like money in the bank
It's like gas in the tank

(Ad lib to fade)

1 Love (written by Russell Jeter III)

People we've got a situation
And I know that we can fix it right now
You see there's no need for confusion
I can make it plain and simple to see
You see it's not going to get no better
If we don't take the time to heal the land
So let me tell you how to do it
It's very easy so won't you come and take a stand

I'm talking about one love

Chorus:
1 LOVE
1 LOVE
1 LOVE

You see it's real for you and me

(Repeat chorus)

We have got to love each other
We don't have much time to make this right
We have got to stop the hating
It only makes us more distant to understand
You see there's only one great spirit
And it made all the heavens and the earth
And if we just tap into it
There's no telling where it will lead us too

Can't you see that we can DO it

(Repeat chorus)
(Repeat chorus)

So now that you have the answer
All you have to do is just make a friend
With this love we can move it
We can move all our sorrows and start again

You know it't up to you and me

(Repeat chorus to end)

Angels Watching Over Me (Traditional)

Chorus:
All night, all day
Angels watching over me, my Lord
All night, all day
Angels watching over me

You know I went to the valley
One day to pray
My soul got happy and it stayed all day

(Repeat chorus)

The river Jordan is chilling and cold
It chilled my body but not my soul

(Repeat chorus to end)

Christian's Automobile (written by J. Archie)

Well you know that every child of God
Is running for Jesus
Every child, every child of God
Running for Jesus
Every child, every child of God
Gotta go running
You know prayer is your driver's license
Oh, faith is your steering wheel

When you get on your road to glory
Satan's gonna try to flag you down
You better keep on driving
If you want your starry crown
You gotta check on your tires
You got a rough road ahead
And when you get weary from your journey
God will put you to bed
You gotta check on your lights
And see your own faults
Stop while you can see them, children
Or your soul will be lost
You gotta check on your generator
You need more strength and power
You can't do nothing without the Man
You need him every hour

Christians, oh Christians press on your starter
And start your automobile
Put in first gear and go on up the hill
Drive on, children, if I never see you no more
I'll see you when I pull in on the other shore
I'm not worried about my parking space
I just want to see my Savior face to face
You know prayer is your driver's license
Faith is your steering wheel

(Repeat verse to end)

Nubian Man (written by Steve Langley)

Chorus:
I am a Nubian man
I come from afar, take my hand
I am a Nubian man
I come from afar, take my hand
I am a Nubian man
Take my hand

Mountains, meadows and sturdy trees
Rivers flow naturally to me
I used to be the king of kings
I sat upon my mighty throne
How I long for my home

(Repeat chorus)

Silver, gold laid upon my feet
Diamonds merely playthings to me
Wherever I go now
I carry all these treasures with me
Treasures remind me of home

(Repeat chorus to fade)

I'm So Blessed (written by Russell Jeter III)

Chorus:
I'm so blessed
I'm so blessed
I'm so blessed
And I thank God
That I'm blessed

Everytime I think about
How the Lord has blessed me
I get so humble and glad
You see it's not because
I've been so good
It's because of his love
And his grace
That's why I'm so

(Repeat chorus)

I know sometimes I don't
Deserve it no
He knows all of my faults
That's why I've got to take
The time to thank him
Thank him for all of his love
And it feels so good

Channel:
Feels so good
Feels so good
Feels so good
Thank God that I'm blessed

(Repeat chorus to end)


Fate (written by Steve Langley)

Parallel lines sometimes cross
Try to explain it, you're at a loss
Our souls are searching, the path is clear
What are the forces that brought us here?

Chorus:
It must be fate, it must be fate
It must be fate, it must be fate

The pendulum swings to and fro
Coincidence, chance we may never know
So much frustration, so much doubt
Ain't if funny how your problems work out

(Repeat chorus)

Your crystal ball won't tell it all
Nor will your palm
Your master plan has failed again
Everything is not in your hands

It must be fate, it must be fate
Fate, fate
Some things were meant to happen that way
Some lines were meant to cross one day
Fate, fate, fate
Fate

Colorblind (written by Steve Langley)

Black child, White child playing in the sand
Black child, White child hold each other's hand
Black mama, White mama wait a little while
Black mama, White mama forcing half a smile

Black youth, White youth learn to separate
Black youth, White youth now they're taught to hate
Black man, White man working every day
Black man, White man one gets better pay

Black folks, White folks walking with their canes
Black folks, White folks becoming just the same

The same

Black man, White man
Put him in the ground
Black man, White man
Guess they're equal now

People that's what we need to be
Colorblind and free
When will we ever see
That's what we need to be
Colorblind and free
Colorblind and free
I wanna be free
Don't you wanna be free

(Ad lib to fade)

In This Land (written by Steve Langley)

It takes more than promises to feed a nation
It take more than pounds of surplus cheese
I ain't got a lot of education
So why don't somebody tell me please

Why am I hungry, why am I hungry
Why in this land
Why in this horn of plenty
My belly's often empty
I don't understand, I don't understand

It takes more than promises to house a nation
It takes more than tenements and shacks
I ain't rested since they closed the shelter
And the park bench ain't good for my back

Why am I homeless, why am I homeless
Why in this land
Why are some people crowded
When you own strings of houses
I don't understand, I don't understand

It takes more than promises to clothe a nation
It takes more than hand-me-downs and rags
My clothes are tattered and my soul is battered
And I don't even own a plastic bag

Why am I naked, why am I naked
Why in this land
What can one person do with
Two thousand pairs of shoes
I don't understand, I don't understand

(Ad lib to end)
