Chorus: Defending your life on the Judgement Day Defending your
life what will you say Defending your life on the Judgement
Day Defending your life what will you say (what will you say)
You know I've always been a dreamer Livin' on the edge of sin and
strife I can't see the light of morning Because I haven't got the
Son in my life
Help me Jesus, I am tired of fallin' down (I'm tired of fallin'
down) Give me Jesus, the strength I need to come around
Repeat Chorus
You know my Jesus, He is praying Hopin' that I will be Heaven
bound He broke the bonds of sin on Calvary So that I could even wear
a crown
Help me Jesus, I am tired of fallin' down (I'm tired of fallin'
down) Give me Jesus, the strength I need to come around
Repeat Chorus
When I am standing in the judgement You know my Savior will be by my
side Pleading my case to the Father Wipin' all the tears away from
my eyes
Help me Jesus, I am tired of fallin' down (I'm tired of fallin'
down) Give me Jesus, the strength I need to come around
Repeat Chorus
In every deed and every choice that you make In the way that you
live every day Will you reap what you've sown In your life have you
shown A reason for the Master to say (Welcome Home)
Defending your life... Defending your life... Defending your life
on the Judgement Day Defending your life what will you say Defending
your life... Defending your life... Defending your life...

God blessed me with a son To carry on my name But I know the real
reason was To show me why Jesus came In the middle of the night, if
I awake I will stand and watch him sleeping Looking down I'll touch
his face
Then I think about when he grows older Hopin' he won't turn
around I must teach him how to love the Lord So the world can't
bring him down Words cannot express the way I feel about my
son Truly this is God showing me Why He gave His only one
Chorus: Only Son (only Son) How I long to know Your ways Only
One (only One) What a gift of matchless grace Now I know why You
gave me A precious son to love For the sake of Your only one
Now he's grown a little older Into a man becomes my son He
doesn't listen to his daddy much He just turned twenty-one But like
his father learned the hard way He must also learn one day Until the
Lord becomes his guiding light He will never find his way
Repeat Chorus (x2)
How I love my only son I can't believe you gave your only
Son Precious one begotten Son Only One

the carpenter's hand I am nothing more than a wand'ring pilgrim All
alone in a far-away land Im am nothing more than a very small
child Not yet grown up into a man I am nothing more than a useless
hammer Until placed in the carpenter's hand
Use me Lord This will always be my humble plea Give me
faith Built upon the cross of Calvary
It's all from You (all from You), and not from me (not from me) You
showed the way (showed the way), and now I see (now I see) That I am...
Repeat Chorus
Use me Lord I will be your servant to the end Give me
strength Like a tempered steel, I will not blend
It's all from You (all from You), and not from me (not from me) You
showed the way (showed the way), and now I see (now I see) That I am...

A hammer lays quiet and lifeless and still It can't on its own do a
thing But placed in the hands fo the one with the skill Its pounding
will make Heavens ring
