If I should stay
Well, I would only be in your way
And so I'll go, and yet I know
That I'll think of you each step of my way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
Bitter-sweet memories
That's all I have, and all Im taking with me
Good-bye, oh, please don't cry
Cause we both know that Im not
What you need
I will always love you
I will always love you
And I hope life, will treat you kind
And I hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
Oh, I do wish you joy
And I wish you happiness
But above all this
I wish you love
I love you, I will always love

I, I will always, always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you

Help is on the Way
Verse 1
People say that time will heal
But you know, they just don't feel what you feel
Times are hard but God is so good
He's never failed you, and He said He never would

He see's your tears
He fights your fears

CHORUS
Hold on, help is on the way
He said he'd never leave you or forsake you
Stay strong
Help is on the way
He'd said he'd help you
Just reach out and take his hand

VERSE 2
He knows your heart, He lifts your head
He's always close enough to hear every word you said
When you're weak, He said He's so much more
His arm is long enough to reach you where you are

He see's your tears
He fights your fears

CHORUS 2x

Help is on the way 10x
--Michael W. Smith's A New Hallelujah album, Released on October 28, 2008.

Somebody Said A Prayer
Just a single mom raisin' her kids
Little Tommy's seven and her daughter, Justine, just turned ten
Pinchin' every cent
Laughin' and lovin and content
You would never think a couple years ago
She almost let her job, her kids, her mind, her life go up in smoke
But right there on the edge right before the fall

Chorus: Somebody said a prayer
Somebody had some faith
Somebody hit their knees and asked for help, for heaven's sake
Somebody finally found
Someone who really cares
Somebody said a prayer

He was seventeen and his heart was broke
The middle of the night
A bottle full of pills
And a goodbye note
Sittin' on his bed but then he bowed his head
Now I see him every week and every now and then
He talks about that night and the peace that came over him
Talk about a sermon, can I get amen
Up there with tears on his face he said look what happened, Lord

Repeat Chorus Twice

Can I get an amen
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Somebody said a prayer

(Neil Thrasher and Craig Wiseman)

You Never Let Go

Even Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death
Your perfect love is casting out fear;
and even when I'm caught
In the middle of the storms of this life,
I won't turn back I know You are near (Bridge)
And I fear no evil, for my God is with me
And if my God is with me,
whom then shall I fear, whom then shall I fear (Chorus)
Oh no, You never let go, through the calm and through the storm
Oh no, You never let go in ev'ry high and ev'ry low
Oh no, You never let go, Lord You never let go of me
And I can see a light that is coming, for the heart that holds on
A glorious light beyond all compare; and there will be an end to these troubles
But until that day comes, we'll live to know you, here on earth (Repeat Bridge)
(Repeat Chorus)I can see a light that is coming for the heart that holds on
And there will be an end to these troubles, but until that day comes
Still I will praise You, still I will praise you (Repeat)
(Repeat Chorus 2x)

While I'm Waiting
by John Waller


I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am hopeful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it is painful
But patiently, I will wait

I will move ahead, bold and confident
Taking every step in obedience
While I'm waiting
I will serve You
While I'm waiting
I will worship
While I'm waiting
I will not faint
I'll be running the race
Even while I wait

I'm waiting
I'm waiting on You, Lord
And I am peaceful
I'm waiting on You, Lord
Though it's not easy
But faithfully, I will wait
Yes, I will wait
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve you while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting on You, Lord

Lessons Learned
by Carrie Underwood

There's some things that I regret,
Some words I wish had gone unsaid,
Some starts,
That had some bitter endings,
Been some bad times I've been through,
Damage I cannot undo,
Some things,
I wish I could do all all over again,
But it don't really matter,
Life gets that much harder,
It makes you that much stronger,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were,
Lessons learned.

[Chorus:]
And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
Everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night,
Every change, life has thrown me,
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,
I'm grateful, for every scar,
Some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned.

There's mistakes that I have made,
Some chances I just threw away,
Some roads,
I never should've taken,
Been some signs I didn't see,
Hearts that I hurt needlessly,
Some wounds,
That I wish I could have one more chance to mend,
But it don't make no difference,
The past can't be rewritten,
You get the life you're given,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were,
Lessons learned.

[Chorus:]
And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
Everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night,
Every change, life has thrown me,
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,
I'm grateful, for every scar,
Some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned.

And all the things that break you,
Are all the things that make you strong,
You can't change the past,
Cause it's gone,
And you just gotta move on,
Because it's all,
Lessons learned.

[Chorus:]
And every tear that had to fall from my eyes,
Everyday I wondered how I'd get through the night,
Every change, life has thrown me,
I'm thankful, for every break in my heart,
I'm grateful, for every scar,
Some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned,
Oh, some pages turned,
Some bridges burned,
But there were lessons learned,
Lessons learned.
