Amazing Grace
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, That
saved a wretch like me.... I once was lost but now am found, Was blind,
but now, I see.
T'was Grace that taught... my heart to fear. And
Grace, my fears relieved. How precious did that Grace appear... the hour I
first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares... we
have already come. T'was Grace that brought us safe thus far... and Grace
will lead us home.
The Lord has promised good to me... His word my
hope secures. He will my shield and portion be... as long as life
endures.
When we've been here ten thousand years... bright
shining as the sun. We've no less days to sing God's praise... then when
we've first begun.
"Amazing Grace, how sweet the
sound, That saved a wretch like me.... I once was
lost but now am found, Was blind, but now, I see.
*Song by the Statler Brothers

Baby Mine
Baby mine,
don't you cry. Baby mine, dry your eyes. Rest your head close to my
heart, Never to part, Baby of mine.
Little one when you
play, Don't you mind what they say. Let those eyes sparkle and
shine, Never a tear, Baby of mine.
If they knew sweet little
you They'd end up loving you too. All those same people who scold
you What they'd give just for the right to hold you.
From your head
down to your toes, You're not much, goodness knows. But you're so precious
to me, Sweet as can be, Baby of mine.
All of those people who scold
you, what they'd give just for the right to hold you.
From your head
down to your toes You're not much, goodness knows. But you're so precious
to me, Sweet as can be, Baby of mine.
From the theme song
of Disney's Dumbo
Sang by Allison Kraus

For all those times you stood by me
For all the truth that you made me see
For all the joy you brought to my life
For all the wrong that you made right
For every dream you made come true
For all the love I found in you
I'll be forever thankful baby
You're the one who held me up
You're the one who saw me through through it all
You were my strength when I was weak
You were my voice when I couldn't speak
You were my eyes when I couldn't see
You saw the best there was in me
Lifted me up when I couldn't reach
You gave me faith 'coz you believed
You gave me wings and made me fly
You touched my hand I could touch the sky
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me
You said no star was out of reach
You stood by me and I stood tall
I had your love I had it all
I'm grateful for each day you gave me
Maybe I don't know that much
But I know this much is true
I was blessed because I was loved by you
You were always there for me
The tender wind that carried me
A light in the dark shining your love into my life
You've been my inspiration
Through the lies you were the truth
My world is a better place because of you
*Sang by Celine Dion

Go Rest High on the Mountain
And only you could know the pain
You weren't afraid to face the devil
You were no stranger to the rain
Go,Go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done
Love for the Father and the Son
Oh, how we cried the day you left us
We gathered round your grave to grieve
I wish I could see the angels' faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing
So,Go rest high on that mountain
Son your work on earth is done
Love for the Father and the Son
Go rest high on that mountain
Son your work on earth is done
Love for the Father and the Son
Love for the Father and the Son.

Streets of Heaven
Hello God, it's me again.
2:00 a.m., Room 304. Visiting
hours are over, time for our bedside tug of war. This sleeping child between
us may not make it through the night. I'm fighting back the tears as she
fights for her life. Well, it must be kind of crowded, On the streets of
Heaven. So tell me: what do you need her for? Don't you know one day
she'll be your little girl forever. But right now I need her so much
more. She's much too young to be on her own; Barely just turned
seven. So who will hold her hand when she crosses the streets of Heaven?
Tell me God, do you remember the wishes that she made, As she blew
out the candles on her last birthday cake? She wants to ride a pony when
she'd big enough. She wants to marry her Daddy when she's all grown up.
Well, it must be kind of crowded, On the streets of Heaven. So
tell me: what do you need her for? Don't you know one day she'll be your
little girl forever. But right now I need her so much more. She's much too
young to be on her own; Barely just turned seven. So who will hold her
hand when she crosses the streets of Heaven?
Lord, don't you know she's
my angel You got plenty of your own And I know you hold a place for
her But she's already got a home Well I don't know if you're
listenin' But praying is all that's left to do So I ask you Lord have
mercy, you lost a son once too
And it must be kind of crowded, On the
streets of Heaven. So tell me: what do you need her for? Don't you know
one day she'll be your little girl forever. But right now I need her so much
more. Lord, I know once you've made up your mind, There's no use in
beggin'.
So if you take her with you today, will you make sure she looks both
ways,
And would you hold her hand when she crosses the streets of Heaven. The streets
of Heaven.
