Lyrics:
There is no way I'm gonna fight it
I'm gonna tell you how I
feel
There is no reason to deny it
My God is real
Modern man has thought of ways
To deny my God today
They think
they're so educated
They don't need Him
They write their theories to
deny Him
But even they can't verify them
But I know that my God is
living
Through the evidence He gave
Chorus 1:
He is real (He is)
I can see Him in the trees
I can
see Him in the children
As they're playing in the leaves (in the
leaves)
He is real (He is)
I can see Him in the stars
And if you
will let Him in
He will live within your heart (in your heart)
It's very strange indeed
'Bout these educated men
With the
reasoning God gave them
They turn away and deny Him
If they hold but
just a portion
Of the intelligence they claim
They would cast aside
all foolish pride
And bow down to praise His name
Repeat Chorus 1
What is this world coming to
They want us to believe
The
complexities of life
They say by accident conceived
Don't ignore the
One with power
Creation to achieve (I believe, I believe)
Open up
your heart to Him
His blessings you'll receive (hey)
Chorus 2:
He is real (He is)
He is real
I can see Him in the
children
As they're playing in the leaves (in the leaves)
He is real
(my God is real)
I can see Him in the stars
And if you will let Him
in
He will live within your heart (in your heart)
He is real (He is)
I can see Him in the trees
I can see Him in
the children
As they're playing in the leaves

Lyrics:
One question always asked of me
Everybody's wondering what I think
I'll be
My parents seem to know how my heart's inclined
But I think
I'm having problems making up my mind
I've taken several tests for personality
But they never have
revealed my tendancies
I can't say exactly where my path will
lead
You see there's only one thing I really wanna be
Chorus 1:
A child of God, you know I'll always be a child of
God
Whatever I do, no matter how old I am
My Father keeps me safe in
His gentle hands
A child of God, you know I'll always be a child of
God
I might get older in years, I may be graying and wise
But I'll
still be a kid in my Father's eyes
In His eyes
I may just make it on a who's who list
Or maybe end up as a
scientist
There's lots of neat things that I could invent
Or even
grow up to be the president
Lots of people say I should be this or that
But my Father's gonna
love me right where I'm at (right where I'm at)
I'll never need to
worry 'bout the path I trod
Because I know that I will always be a
child of my God
Chorus 2:
A child of God, you know I'll always be a child of God
(you know whatever I do)
Whatever I do, no matter how old I am
My
Father keeps me safe in His gentle hands
A child of God, you know I'll
always be a child of God (I'm His kid)
I might get older in years, I
may be graying and wise
But I'll still be a kid in my Father's
eyes
In His eyes (in His eyes, in His eyes), my Father's loving eyes
Bridge:
I think I know why my daddy loves His children's ways
I
heard that Jesus was a kid in His early days
Repeat Chorus 2
Scriptural Reference:
"Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he
gave the right to become children of God-- children born not of natural
descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God."

we are God's children." Romans 8:16

Lyrics:
I wanna be, I wanna be like my Daddy (just like my Dad)
I wanna be,
I wanna be like my Daddy
I'd like to tell you 'bout the One I admire
About my hero and my
personal friend
From the beginning He's been there to inspire
And I
believe He'll be with me till the end
Chorus 1:
I want to be like my Daddy (like my Daddy)
To walk and
talk in every way
He loves me more that I'll ever know
I'm growing
more like Him everyday (everyday)
Let me say I want to be like my Daddy
(like my Daddy)
And it's clear for to see
The reason I want to be
like Him
'Cause He's so much a part of me
I wanna be, I wanna be
like my Daddy (just like my Dad)
I wanna be, I wanna be like my Daddy
No better teacher could I ever have asked for
Provides for all I
want and all that I need
I'm just so proud of my Daddy's
example
'Cause He's exactly what I'm working to be
Chorus 2:
I want to be like my Daddy (just like my Dad)
To walk
and talk in every way (every way)
He loves me more that I'll ever know
(He loves me)
I'm growing more like Him everyday (everyday)
Let me
say I want to be like my Daddy
And it's clear for to see
The reason
I want to be like Him (I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be)
'Cause He's
so much a part of me
I wanna be, I wanna be like my Daddy (just like my
Dad)
I wanna be, I wanna be like my Daddy
The world is filled with children needing a Father
Some daddies
don't know what exactly to do
My Dad will love you and to Him it's no
bother
He's God the Father, let me show Him to you
Chorus 3:
I want to be like my Daddy
To walk and talk in every
way
He loves me more that I'll ever know
I'm growing more like Him
everyday
Let me say I want to be like my Daddy
And it's clear for to
see
The reason I want to be like Him (I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna
be)
'Cause He's so much a part of me
I wanna be, I wanna be like my
Daddy (just like my Dad) (I want to be)
I wanna be, I wanna be like my
Daddy (just like my Dad) (like my Daddy)
I wanna be, I wanna be like my
Daddy (just like my Dad)
I wanna be, I wanna be like my Daddy (I love
you Daddy)

Lyrics:
Because of His love
Because of His love
Chorus 1:
Well I have been turnin' it all away (turning it,
t-t-t-turning it)
Now I'm very happy to say (turning it, t-t-t-turning
it)
Givin' up everything
Because of His love
Well I have been too
long in the night (turning it, t-t-t-turning it)
Doin' things that
wasn't right (turning it, t-t-t-turning it)
Givin' up
everything
Because of His love
Well I would like to say thank you
But there's just not a way
To
find the perfect words
That I would like to say
I'm no longer a
prisoner
Of the fear of Hell
'Cause Jesus came to help me
And to
pay my bail
Yes, He paid the price for the likes of me
How Jesus cares so much
now I may never see
He humbled Himself and He carried a cross
Was I
really worth the cost?
Chorus 2:
Well I have been turnin' it all away (turning it,
t-t-t-turning it) (yes I've been turning it away)
Now I'm very happy to
say (turning it, t-t-t-turning it) (each and every day)
Givin' up
everything
Because of His love
Well I have been too long in the
night (turning it, t-t-t-turning it) (too long in the night)
Doin'
things that wasn't right (turning it, t-t-t-turning it) (want to do
right)
Givin' up everything
Because of His love
You know I just got to praise You
For the way that You've
been
For me a wretched sinner
A beloved friend (you're my
friend)
Yes, I'm indebted to praise You
For the way that You
feel
To make the long procession
Up to Calvary's hill (Calvary's
hill)
Yes, He took my sin and I now confess
That Jesus Christ had made me
His own righteousness
There's no condemnation, no judgements since He's
Givin' me the victory
Chorus 3:
Well I have been turnin' it all away (turning it,
t-t-t-turning it) (I'll turn it all away)
Now I'm very happy to say
(turning it, t-t-t-turning it) (givin' up everything)
Givin' up
everything
Because of His love (His wonderful love)
Well I have been
too long in the night (turning it, t-t-t-turning it)
Doin' things that
wasn't right (turning it, t-t-t-turning it)
Givin' up
everything
Because of His love (His wonderful love)
Yes I've been givin' it all to Jesus (givin' it all, givin' it
all)
Givin' it all to the Son (Jesus the Son, Jesus the Son)
And
we've been spending our time together (spending our time, spending our
time)
Now that my life has begun (now I've begun, now I've
begun)
Showing my gracious affection
For Him who has suffered for
me
You know I can't go wrong in His presence
From now on you will
see
Repeat Chorus 3
Because of His love, my darkness is light (because of His love) (turn
away)
Because of His love, my blindness is sight (because of His love)
(turn away)
Because of His love, my weakness is might (because of His
love) (turn away)
Because of His love, I live a new life (because of
His love) (turn away)

Lyrics:
Chorus 1:
Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord
Sing and
make music in your heart to the Lord
Sing and make music in your heart
to the Lord
Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord
When it comes to makin' music don't you show me how
'Cause I love to
make my music to the Lord right now
I got music and a rhythm that is in
my bones
And the truth that I'm a singing I can't leave alone
Then
you get me with the ones who truly wear His name
And the music from the
heart will surely be the same
As it helps you with your struggles and
will ease your mind
'Cause the music's edifying to you ev'ry time
(Repeat Chorus 1 in background)
Chorus 2:
Speak to one
another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs
Speak to one another
with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs
When you're singing to your brothers, it's a precious gift
'Cause it
helps to make 'em happy and their burdens lift
With the message and the
power, how could we go wrong
We hear the voice of His concern in each
and every song
Yes, you know it makes em' happy when you hear them
sing
They're given honor to the Master over everything
We can praise
Him all together make a song as one, and
Rejoice with all the earth for
what the Lord hath done
Lift your song together with one accord
Sing and make music in your
heart to the Lord
Lift your song together with one accord
Sing and
make music in your heart
Repeat Chorus 1 and 2 (together)
(Repeat Chorus 2 in background)
It you want to make me happy
join on in with me
In the beauty of this grace and fellowship, you'll
see
It's His love we sing about and nothing can compare
Not any
treasure, any glory, nothin' anywhere
Don't let it stop you when you
feel that you can't sing on key
'Cause it's the heart that is important
to the Lord you see
So if you're happy and you know it, won't you let
it out
And let the world know all together what it's all about
Repeat Chorus 1 (with background of "C'mon on and sing")
Repeat Chorus 1 and 2 together
Speak to one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs

Lyrics:
Christina, Christina, wish we'd never seen ya
Christina, Christina,
wish we'd never seen ya (child sniffling)
Christina, Christina,
wish we'd never seen ya
Nobody ever gave here a fighting chance, Christina
They said if
anyone would it was she who was bound to fall
You see the children at
school would mistreat and tease her, Christina
She could hardly wait
till she heard the final school bell
Everyday she takes the long way to home, Christina
To avoid
embarrassment the safest path is alone
She knows there's sure to be a
better way, Christina
Why is everything different from the love her
family has shown
Chorus 1:
Christina, Christina
Who do you think you
are?
Christina, Christina
You might as well give it up now, you
won't go far
When they are playing their games she's never chosen,
Christina
She's not included with the popular children in town
Her
Father tells her that it'll be okay, Christina
But her peers continue
to bring Christina down
Repeat Chorus 1
Bridge:
Christina refused to believe the things she had heard (don't
listen Christina)
Cause her mommy and daddy had kept her in the Word,
God's Word
Now the kids at school have begun to believe in Christina
The very
same children who made her life so blue
It seems that ten long years
haven't made a change in Christina
And she knows it's only God who made
her new, brand new
Chorus 2:
Christina (Christina), Christina (Christina)
It's hard
to believe what I see
Christina (Christina), Christina
(Christina)
You know it's not like it used to be
Christina
(Christina), Christina (Christina)
How do you do what you
do
Christina (Christina), Christina (Christina)
I want to be like
you
I want to be (I wanna be) just like you
Christina, Christina
I
want to be like you
Christina, Christina
I want to be like
you
Christina, Christina

Lyrics:
Spoken Vocal (various voices):
Then God said, "Let us make man,
someone like ourselves, to be the master of all life upon the earth and in
the sky and in the seas." (baby crying) So God made man in His
image.
Chorus:
We were made in His image
Being formed by a perfect
hand
At the dawn of creation
In His likeness He made man
When I'm
down and weary is the time that I forget
How He came to make me like
the best
There are people around me who don't know who they are
They were
made in the image of the highest power
No one's told them good news
that been made so clear
I must tell it now so every one can hear
Repeat Chorus
There are brothers around me who don't show who they are
They were
made in the image of Jehovah God
They don't stop and think of what that
really means
Being fashioned after Jesus the King of Kings
Made in His image
Made in His image
Made in the image of the best
Repeat Chorus
Made in His image (we were made in His image)
Made in His image
(just like the best)
Made in the image of the best (image of the

image (just like the best)
Made in the image of the best (in the image
of the best)

Deep in your

If you're really following Jesus each day (one another, one

Then loving one another's the way (one another's the way)

another)
And you know the answer is God in His heart (one another, one

Then love is just a game that you play (one
another's the way)
Chorus 2:
Bear with one another (got to share)
Share with one
another (if we care)

way
If Jesus is really alive in this church (one another, one
