Song Lyric Thursday

Forget Celine. Nobody sings it like the King...and nobody else should!



If I Can Dream
Elvis Presley

There must be lights burning brighter somewhere
Got to be birds flying higher in a sky more blue
If I can dream of a better land
Where all my brothers walk hand in hand
Tell me why, oh why, oh why cant my dream come true

There must be peace and understanding sometime
Strong winds of promise that will blow away
All the doubt and fear
If I can dream of a warmer sun
Where hope keeps shining on everyone
Tell me why, oh why, oh why wont that sun appear

Were lost in a cloud
With too much rain
Were trapped in a world
Thats troubled with pain
But as long as a man
Has the strength to dream
He can redeem his soul and fly

Deep in my heart theres a trembling question
Still I am sure that the answer gonna come somehow
Out there in the dark, theres a beckoning candle
And while I can think, while I can talk
While I can stand, while I can walk
While I can dream, please let my dream
Come true, right now
Let it come true right now
Oh yeah

The Secret of Life
James Taylor

The secret of life is enjoying the passage of time
Any fool can do it
There aint nothing to it
Nobody knows how we got to
The top of the hill
But since were on our way down
We might as well enjoy the ride

The secret of love is in opening up your heart
Its okay to feel afraid
But dont let that stand in your way
cause anyone knows that love is the only road
And since were only here for a while
Might as well show some style
Give us a smile

Isnt it a lovely ride
Sliding down
Gliding down
Try not to try too hard
Its just a lovely ride

Now the thing about time is that time
Isnt really real
Its just your point of view
How does it feel for you
Einstein said he could never understand it all
Planets spinning through space
The smile upon your face
Welcome to the human race

Some kind of lovely ride
Ill be sliding down
Ill be gliding down
Try not to try too hard
Its just a lovely ride

Isnt it a lovely ride
Sliding down
Gliding down
Try not to try too hard
Its just a lovely ride

Now the secret of life is enjoying the passage of time

He Is Not Here, He Is Risen!

Then Came The Morning



They all walked away, nothing to say, they'd just lost their dearest friend
All that He said, now He was dead, so this is the way it would end?
The dreams that they dreamed, were not what they'd seemed, now that He was dead and gone
The garden the jail, the hammer the nails, how could a night be so long?

Then came the morning, night turned into day
The stone was rolled away, hope rose with the dawn
Then came the morning, shadows vanished before the sun
Death had lost and life had won, for morning had come


The angel, the star, the kings from afar, the wedding, the water, the wine
Now it was done, they'd taken her son, wasted before His time
She knew it was true , she'd watched Him die too, she heard them call Him just a man
But deep in her heart, she knew from the start, somehow her son would live again


Then came the morning, shadows vanished before the sun
Death had lost and life had won, for morning had come
Morning had come!

It Is Done

It Is Done

It was midnight at Golgotha in the middle of the day
Every sin was laid upon him as the Father turned away
In the silence of that moment Jesus lifted one last breath
It is finished; then He died

CHORUS
It is done, the price has been paid
It is done, provision's been made
It is done, the work has been completed
Satan has been defeated, the victory's been won
It is done

Are you hiding in the shadows of some pain or past regret?
Does your heart feel like it's breaking over shame you can't forget?
The grace of God is waiting where the Lamb was crucified
You were forgiven when he cried

CHORUS

No more pain to carry for what we have been (what we have been)
No cruel accusations, the Blood covered them
We don't have to suffer, Jesus suffered instead
The battle was over when he said, when He said

It is finished, the battle is over
It is finished, there'll be no more war

It is done, the work has been completed
Oh, Satan is defeated, the victory's been won
It is done

It is finished, the battle is over, it is over!
It is finished, Praise God it is done!
