Lyrics for Song: Friend 'Til the End
Lyrics for Album: Heroes

I know that you get tired of traveling this lonesome road alone
You try with all your might to do right but it seems like it's all wrong
Don't lose heart, I've been with you from the start

(chorus)
If you're tired and weak,
I will help you stand if you'll trust in me,
I will be your friend 'til the end

Seems like there's always something or someone
to make you stumble on your way
But don't look down, look up in the dark until you see the light of day
Have no fear, I will always be right here

(chorus)

Ooh, let me hear you call
Ooh, I won't let you fall

(chorus)

Lyrics for Song: Peace Like a River
Lyrics for Album: Heroes

Did you ever have an empty feeling
Many miles away from home
Everybody's tryin' to treat you friendly
Yet you're alone
It's taken some time for me to uncover
The purpose He has in my life
Don't know where it will take me
But I know where I've been
And I know it feels so right

(chorus)
I got peace like a river
Flowin' deep in my life
I got peace like a river
And you know it feels so right

I got peace

Now I am not one who can move high mountains
Or part the big Red Sea
Nor can I walk on the water like Peter of Jesus
Or set a lame man free
It's all I can do somedays to get through
The valleys here below
I don't feel I deserve a mansion in heaven
But it would please me so


(chorus x 2)

I got peace

Lyrics for Song: Heroes
Lyrics for Album: Heroes

Momma combs his hair and Daddy helps him brush his teeth
Day after day for thirty years the same routine
The special needs he lives with make life seem so unfair
But he thanks God every day cause he knows Mom and Dad are there

(chorus) He's a hero and she's a hero
It doesn't matter that nobody knows their name
They keep on giving to make life worth living
Might go unnoticed but they're heroes just the same

They tried for many years to have a baby of their own
But God knew a little girl who didn't have a home
Someone else's burden was their blessing in disguise
And now she's got a Mom and Daddy there to hold her when she cries

(chorus)

Every single parent who must carry twice the load
And those who sacrifice to raise a child that's not their own
They dedicate their time to make a difference in someone else's life
And in my eyes

(chorus)

They might go unnoticed but they're heroes just the same.

Lyrics for Song: If That Don't Make You Want to Go
Lyrics for Album: Heroes

John saw a golden city, New Jerusalem come down
Twelve jasper walls and gates of pearl/Such splendor all around
And he tells about a river of life that flows beneath the throne
Where we'll drink and live eternally in a mansion all our own

(chorus)
Oh, if that don't make you wanna go (Brother)
If that don't make you wanna go (Sister)
If that don't make you wanna go (To Heaven)
I don't know what does

They say there is no heartache there, and no more curse of sin
No sickness and no cross to bear and death can't enter in
No fighting and no battlefields, no war, no enemies
Where the lamb and lion lay side by side in that land of perfect peace

(chorus)

No worries and no more to fear, our faith will be made sight
it's a glorious land of endless day where Jesus is the light
Got a lot of friends and loved ones there and the Savior I will meet
And I'll lay my crown of jewels down when I bow at Jesus' feet

(chorus x 2)
I don't know what does

Lyrics for Song: Yours and Mine
Lyrics for Album: Heroes
 
I hope I didn't wake you (It's never too late)
My heart is so broken (Honey, It'll be OK)
I wish you were here now (I wish I was too)
Don't know what I'd do without you

(chorus)
If I could take the hurt all away
I'd gladly walk in your shoes
I'd rather it be happening to me than you
I'd love to turn your tears into laughter
And all of your rain to sunshine
But since I can't take it
Let's make it yours and mine

I heard from the doctor (I heard the bad news)
Oh I am so frightened (I've been praying for you)
I don't understand it (Sometimes life isn't fair)
Seems like more than I can bear

(chorus)

I'll laugh with you, cry with you
You know I would die for you
Together we can make it through

(chorus)

Since I can't take it
Let's make it yours and mine.

Lyrics for Song: Half a Day Away
Lyrics for Album: Heroes

You dropped me off for my first day of school
Six years old and had to learn new rules
I didn't know what I was walking into
I turned around and waved goodbye to you
When you left me I remembered you
Told me when the lunch bell rings at noon
And I'm through with Twinkie number two
I'd be half a day away from you

Half a day away from you
Mom you always know what to do
Soon I won't be missing you and feeling so blue
Half a day away from you

Twenty years and half a million miles
A lot of tears and 'bout as many smiles
Gettin' by with life the way I do
Gettin' paid to sing and play for you
I bought a Twinkie at an old truckstop
Got a dial tone when my quarter dropped
I said "Hey Mama" when the call went through
"I'm only half a day away from you"

Half a day away from you
Mamas always know what to do
Soon I won't be missing you and feeling so blue
Half a day away from, half a day away from you

Lyrics for Song: Great Is Thy Reward
Lyrics for Album: Heroes

I was hungry and you gave me to eat
I was thirsty and you gave me a drink
I was naked and you clothed me again
I was a stranger and you took me in
And they said Lord when did we do
These righteous things for you
And He said Brothers you must help each other
If you wanna make it through

(chorus)
In as much as you've done to the least of these
You've done unto me
There is no small service in the eyes of the Lord
Great is thy reward, great is thy reward

I was imprisoned and you came to me there
I was sick and you showed me you cared
By doing these things that I've asked you to do
You'll inherit the kingdom that's awaiting you
And they said Lord when did we do
These righteous things for you
And He said Brothers you must help each other
If you wanna make it through

(chorus x 2)

Lyrics for Song: In His Hands
Lyrics for Album: Heroes

I found a reason to love again
I found the answer, I found a friend
I saw two footprints here in the sand
he walks beside me, I'm in His hands

(chorus)
I must remember I am a sinner
If I surrender, He'll take me home

I am no angel, I'm just a man
But I'm forgiven, I'm in His hands

(chorus)

His love will find you
When no one can
It is not hopeless, We're in His hands
It is not hopeless, We're in His hands

Lyrics for Song: Sweet Holy Spirit
Lyrics for Album: Heroes

The Bible it tells us in God's word so true
The sweet Holy Spirit is promised to you
It sat upon Jesus in the form of a dove
When John was baptizing God's Dearly Beloved

(chorus)
Sweet Holy Spirit I'm down on my knees
I am low in the valley, I am so weak you see
I know I can make it for I trust in thee
The sweet Holy Spirit is falling on me

Sweet Holy Spirit, Oh how I love thee
For being a comfort so many times
And for strengthening me
For I could not make it across life's troubled sea
If the sweet Holy Spirit should ever leave me

(chorus)

So sweet Holy Spirit, don't ever leave me

Artist/Band: Isaacs
Lyrics for Song: Peace
Lyrics for Album: Heroes

I heard about these kids walkin' on a train track
Forty tons of steel bearin' down on them
And they just turned their backs
Channel 5 asked the one who survived
"Son, why'd you do such a thing?"
No reply but his eyes cried

(chorus)
Peace, I just need some peace
If I have to, I'll do anything
Don't need your love or your sympathy
But I cannot got on living without peace

I know a man who sits and stares at kitchen cabinet door
He hides a whiskey bottle he hasn't touched since
Well, this is day four
He told his wife, this time he would try
She was just about to leave
No reply but her eyes cried

(chorus)

I have a friend who's looking for God
A few good self-help books is as far as she's gotten
Say a prayer tonight for that desperate child
Say a prayer tonight for that man and his wife
Say a prayer for the hurtin' searchin' for the one thing we all need
If you don't know what to say
Look up to Heaven's face
And pray peace
