Verse 1:
Tonight I sit here holding my child. Got a lot of things on my mind.
Been another hard day. Got bills to pay. I'm so tired I could drift asleep.
But for now I'll spend this time with you. There's so much I need to say.
So snuggle up tight and listen up close. Please hear the words I say:
Chorus:
If you don't hear anything else I say as I talk with you tonight,
There's Only One Thing in this life that counts:
Giving God first place in your life.
Not the love of man, of money or things gonna bring you lasting joy.
There's Only One Thing in this life that counts:
Giving God first place in your life.
Verse 2:
It's getting late now, and I know you're tired as you lay here in my arms.
Still so much I'd like to say to you, but not sure what you'd understand.
There's evil lurking everywhere. So afraid you'll be led astray.
Gotta keep the faith, lean on God for help and turn the other way.
CHORUS
Bridge:
Watch your step. They want to use your body,
Want to mess with your mind.
Read the Word and say your prayers.
Please choose the narrow way--ay.
Verse 3:
Now it's off to bed with a hug and a kiss at the end of another day.
Let me hold you close and show you my love. You'll be in my prayers tonight.
And some day I hope you'll hold your child and tell him all these things.
'Cause, my child, there is only one thing that will bring you lasting joy.
Chorus:
So, if you don't hear anything else I say as I talk with you tonight,
There's Only One Thing in this life that counts:
Giving God first place in your life.
Not the love of man, of money or things gonna bring you lasting joy.
There's Only One Thing in this life that counts:
Giving God first place in your life.
There's Only One Thing in this life that counts:
Giving God first place in your life.
There's Only One Thing.
God Made Us One

Verse 1:
Did you ever look around you--and all there seemed to be
Were couple of people, and you felt so alone?
Well, that's the way my life 's been. Time spent alone.
Looking for love. Where could it be?
Chorus:
Then I found you--and God Made Us One.
You and I--together as one. Ah-ah--
God Made Us One--at just the right time.
Verse 2:
Look around you. Hey, what do you see?
At the right time--God will provide for you.

I'm Coming Back
Copyright 1985 by Jo Ann Gamm
Verse 1:
It's easy to get caught up in the trials of each day.
Sometimes I feel like I'm so lost, and I don't know what to say.
I wonder if there's a God above who accepts me as I am.
And I wonder if--I'm still His lamb.
Verse 2:
I wander about so aimlessly so saddened by it all.
I see no reason to live my life, and I don't hear Jesus call.
I wonder if He hears me pray and answers what I ask.
And I wonder what--is my life's task.
Chorus:
But I'm Coming Back--to Jesus. I'm Coming Back--today.
I'm Coming Back--to Jesus. I'm Coming Back--to stay.
And tomorrow's trials--won't make me stray,
'Cause now it's Jesus--all the way.
Verse 3:
Because I learned something new just the other day
That I think you ought to know.
I feel a certain comfort now when I pray.
Peace and joy seem to overflow.
His Word assures me there's a God above who accepts me as I am.
I'm Coming Back. I'm still His lamb.
Chorus:
I'm Coming Back--to Jesus. I'm Coming Back--today.
I'm Coming Back--to Jesus. I'm Coming Back--to stay.
And tomorrow's trials--won't make me stray.
'Cause now it's Jesus--all the way.
I'm Coming Back.
Lord, I'm Coming Back--to stay.
Faith In God Is The Answer
(Proverbs 3:6)
Copyright 1984 by Jo Ann Gamm
Verse 1:
Been livin' forever in a depressed state?
Ain't it time you knew what happiness is?
The deck of cards you've been holdin'
Just hasn't been good.
Verse 2:
People don't accept you though you try.
You're looking for friendships, but they never last.
You can't do anything right it seems.
Hey, ain't it time you knew the truth?
Chorus:
Faith in God is the Answer.
If you'll only put Him first in your life,
He'll crown your efforts with success.
Hey, won't you give God a try?
Verse 3:
If you want to know how to live your life,
Read your Bible every day.
Surround yourself with people who know God.
They'll be your friends for life. For life.

We Are Friends
Copyright 1983 & 1984 by Jo Ann Gamm
Verse 1:
I wake up in the morning and I hear my Lord say, "Take my hand."
We walk along the path of the morning as we talk hand in hand.
There are times when I stumble. There are times when I fall.
His hands lift me up. We're still together hand in hand.
As long as He's beside me, I will know I'll rise again.
He's the Shepherd of my life and We Are Friends.
Chorus:
He's my Friend when I am happy. He's my Friend when I am sad.
He forever is beside me as we walk hand in hand.
Whatever happens to me as I live from day to day--
He's beside me. He's my Shepherd. We Are Friends.
Verse 2:
The morn breaks into the afternoon. He is there.
People pass along the path. "Do they know you, Lord?" I ask.
He turns to say,--
"If you can't see from the way they live their lives from day to day,
"Do you think they really know Me? Do they take My outstretched hand?
"When tomorrow comes and all see Me, you'll know then who is Mine.
"In the meantime just remember We Are Friends."
CHORUS
Whatever happens to me as I live from day to day--
He's beside me. He's my Shepherd. We Are Friends.
Whatever happens to me--We Are Friends.
Harmony
Copyright 1985 by Jo Ann Gamm
Verse 1:
Should there be strife among us--whom God has chosen?
Treating one anther with contempt, no concern for the other's feelings.
We're too caught up in our own worlds to feel for someone else.
There's no Harmony among us. Is this the way it should be?
Chorus:
Harmony is what we should have.
Harmony between you and I.
Harmony. Harmony.
Verse 2:
Still we call ourselves God's children--while unable to forgive each other.
We're too caught up in our own worlds to feel for someone else.
There's no Harmony among us. Is this the way it should be?
CHORUS
Verse 3:
So funny how the slightest things can cause such gaps between us.
As Christians why can't we forgive and live in Harmony?
We're too caught up in our own worlds to feel for someone else.
There's no Harmony among us. Is this the way it should be?
CHORUS

Jesus Is The Way.
