YOU'VE GOT ME (RIGHT WHERE YOU WANT ME)
(George Richey - Connie Smith)
« © '73 Al Gallico Music, BMI / Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
Darling could I just have one moment with you
We're here all alone just us two
Let me try to tell you in a few little words
How my heart feels about you
If there were no rainbow I'd paint one for you
And I'd teach the robin a new song or two
Then I'd fight forever and hand it to you
Oh I wish there was more I could do
You've got me right where you want me
It's true I'm right in the palm of your hand
You've got me right where you want me to be
And I want to me right where I am
I want to me right where I am

SOUL SONG
(Billy Sherrill - Norro Wilson - George Richey)
« © '72 Algee Music, BMI / Al Gallico Music, BMI »
You're my soul song my everything-that-I-do song
My pick-me-up-when-I'm-blue song that's why I sing all the time
You're my soul song and that's why I call you my solid-gold song
Nothin' in the world could ever go wrong as long as you are mine
Never in the world have I seen anybody like you in all my time
You give me a feel good feeling through and through and it's so fine
I'm up with the sun cause I don't wanna waste it
I love you so much I can almost taste it
I can sit still when I look up and see you comin' I start hummin' hmm
You're my soul song my keep-me-safe-from-all-harm song
My shelter-from-all-storm song that's why I sing all the time
You're my soul song my keep-me-warm-when-I'm-cold song
Nothin' in the world could ever go wrong as long as you are mine
You're my soul song my everything-that-I-do song...

JESUS
(Bill Gaither)
« © '73 Gaither Music, ASCAP »
Jesus my Saviour Jesus my Saviour
Jesus my Saviour Jesus my wonderful Lord
He loved me when life seemed so hopeless
He loved me when nobody cared
He loved me when all friends had failed me
He loved he answered my prayers
Jesus I love Thee Jesus I love Thee
Jesus I love Thee Jesus my wonderful Lord
Someday my eyes will be hopin'
Oh someday when life's work is done
Jesus will break through those eastern skies
To welcome his children back home
Jesus is coming Jesus is coming
Jesus is coming Jesus my wonderful Lord
Jesus is coming Jesus is coming
Jesus is coming Jesus my wonderful Lord
Jesus my wonderful Lord

WHEN YOU HURT ME MORE THAN I LOVE YOU
(Jerry Foster - Bill Rice)
« © '70 PolyGram Int, ASCAP »
The time will come when I'll be free from this hold you have on me
When you hurt me more than I love you
You'll pay for every time I've cried just as soon as I decide
That you hurt me more than I love you
Maybe mine next heartache will be the final one
Cause maybe I won't love you when it's done
It may not take but one more pain just one more might make the change
If you hurt me more than I love you
Maybe mine next heartache will be the final one
Cause maybe I won't love you when it's gone
This love that's kept me yours so long will die someday and I'll be gone
When you hurt me more than I love you
Oh when you hurt me more than I love you

NEVER LOVE AGAIN
(Doug Kershaw - Rusty Kershaw - Billy Deaton)
« © '60 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I've known many loves before I met you
But I'll never love again
I could probably know others too
But I'll never love again
I've kissed many lips before I kissed yours
But I'll never kiss again
I could probably kiss others too
But I'll never kiss again
After kissing your lips I never will kiss again
I'll never love again
Others have held me before I held you
But I'll never love again
I could probably hold others too
I'll never love again
After knowing your love I'll never love again
I'll never love again I'll never love again
I'll never love again I'll never love again

HOUSE WHERE LOVE SHINES
(Dallas Frazier)
« © '73 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
I've looked high and I've looked low
And I've been asking everyone I know
Cause there won't be any happiness for me
Until I find the house where love shines
I've walked up and I've walked down
Every lonely street in this old town
Cause there won't be any happiness for me
Until I find the house where love shines
Sometimes a feeling whispers don't you take another step
This time you finally found the house where true love lives
But then the time stops and knocks upon the door
They say that love don't live there anymore
Mhm oh I've been right and I've been wrong
But right or wrong this time I'm hanging on
Cause there won't be any happiness for me
Until I find the house where love shines
Mhm mhm oh but right or wrong this time I'm hanging on
Mhm mhm mhm

LOVE HELD ON TO ME
(Helen Cornelius)
« © '73 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
I tried to get a hold on love before love is all gone
But each time it slipped through my hands and left me all alone
I cried believing love for me with out of reach
Then I found you and love held on to me
I found you and love held on to me
Till then I touched on real love only in my dreams
I thought love would always find a way to break my heart and mind
Then I found you and love held on to me
I found you and love held on to me...
I found you and love held on to me

PASS ME BY (IF YOU'RE ONLY PASSING THROUGH)
(Hillman Hall)
« © '72 Leahrae Music, BMI »
Would you look at what came down the road today
Wanting me to be one more mistake you make
A bridge to burn to get to someone knew
Hey pass me by if you're only passing through
You sure look like the traveling kind to me
Don't stop if this ain't where you want to be
Now I don't know what you think you've run into
Hey pass me by if you're only passing through
[ steel ]
Now I'm not gonna be a stepping stone
Among the other hearts that you've walked on
Lord help me if I fall in love with you
Hey pass me by if you're only passing through
You sure look like the traveling kind to me...
Hey pass me by if you're only passing through

TOO SOON TO KNOW
(Don Gibson)
« © '58 Acuff-Rose Music, BMI »
It's too soon to know if I can forget him
My heart's been broken into many pieces
And it's too soon to know
Time passes slow will I ever know
If I can forget him and not let it show
But it's too soon to know
News travels fast when a love affair ends
People keep asking what happened to them
Oh but it's too soon to know if I can forget him
My heart's been broken into many pieces
And it's too soon to know
My heart's been broken into many pieces
And it's too soon to know

LET'S ALL GO DOWN TO THE RIVER
(Earl Montgomery - Sue Richards)
« © '72 Songs Of Universal, BMI »
Let's all go down to the river
There's a man there walking on the water
Come along with me for I wanna see
This man walking on the water
He can raise the dead from the grave
Change the water and turn it into wine
He can make the lame walk he can make the donk talk
And open up the eyes of the blind
Let's all go down to the river...
[ guitar ]
Jesus is the man at the river
And he's washing people's sins away
He can save your soul if you give him control
Get ready for the judgement day
Let's all go down to the river...
Let's all go down to the river...
So let's all go down to the river...

PICTURE OF ME (WITHOUT YOU)
(Norro Wilson - George Richey)
« © '72 Al Gallico Music, BMI / Algee Music, BMI »
Imagine a world where no music was playing
Then think of a church with nobody praying
If you've ever looked up at a sky with no blue
Then you've seen a picture of me without you
Have you walked through a garden where nothing was growing
Or stood by a river with no water flowing
If you've seen a red rose unkissed by the dew
Then you've seen a picture of me without you
Can you picture heaven with no angels singing
Or a quiet Sunday morning with no church bells ringing
If you've watched the heart of a child break in two
Then you've seen a picture of me without you
