Cajun Song 06:10
lyrics

Left my home in Lancashire Couldn’t see my future there Only joy can keep a heart from growing old. Suitcase and guitar in hand Went looking for a working band Only joy can keep a heart from growing old. Can to London young and free Joined a band called Fleur De Lys Only joy can keep a heart from growing old. Put on makeup dressed in fills Put on velvet, wore high heels Only joy can keep a heart from growing old. Travelled round from town to town Saw the world from the back of a van Up and down those motorways Watched the nights turn into days Playing music, having fun Felt my life had just begun But only joy can keep a heart from growing old. Flew alone to the USA Didn’t know how long I’d stay. Only joy can keep a heart from growing old. Felt so good to be so free Had no past, no history Only joy can keep a heart from growing old. Got arrested put in jail Still don’t know who stood my bail Took some drugs, nearly died Living like hell in paradise Then one night I had this dream Childhood memories haunting me Only joy can keep a heart from growing old. Went back to England with my pal Married a girl whose name was Sal She knows joy will keep her heart from growing old Wrote some songs, lived in Wales Followed on that hippie trail Only joy can keep a heart from growing old. Then one day we took a drive Saw a tent and went inside Angels laughed and people cried Loud as heaven on a Saturday night. God my Saviour got my wife, got my name in the book of life Only joy can keep a heart from growing old. Written by Bryn Haworth © B+S Haworth

Home Sweet Home 04:15
lyrics

From the day that I was born I just knew I wouldn’t fit There’s got to be a heaven, cos I know this isn’t it I’m looking for a home ...... I went to California, thought I’d find it over there I travelled the world, couldn’t find it anywhere I’m looking for a home ...... You might be sleeping on the streets or you’ve got somewhere to go but every time you wake up there’s a longing in your soul you’re looking for a home..... Home sweet home, where everyone knows you and nobody feels alone I can see, somewhere in the distance a city where I’m free They say that if you’re strong You’ll get four score years and then When your life is over you won’t be back again You’re looking for a home .... Home sweet home, where everyone loves you, And nobody feels alone I can see I’ve spent my life running like a refugee. I’ve bought things with my money but there’s nothing that I own There’s gonna come a time when I’ll have to leave it all I’m looking for a home...

Judgement Blues 08:38
lyrics

Everyone needs something to believe in You need a reason to believe Some find it in forgiveness Some because they can’t forgive Everybody’s born with a sickness But nobody wants the cure Our words are smooth like butter But who can find a heart that’s pure The weather’s going crazy It’s out of our control Fires and floods and earthquakes Can make a man feel so small The fool in his heart says there is no God And He will not find me out But sure as the sun goes down every evening One days there’s goon be no doubt If I had the wings of a bird I’d fly away If it wasn’t for your loving I couldn’t face another day Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord Holy is the Lord Most High Every eye will see Him coming This God of Love with fire in His eyes All the earth will bow before Him This God of Love with fire in His eyes Written by Bryn Haworth © B+S Haworth

WILL YOU BE READY WHEN JESUS COMES AGAIN WILL YOU BE THERE WHEN EVERYTHING’S MADE NEW NO MORE TEARS AND SADNESS, NO DEATH AND PAIN WILL YOU BE THERE WHEN EVERYTHING’S MADE NEW. WILL I BE READY TO SEE HIM FACE TO FACE WILL I FALL AT HIS FEET AND WORSHIP SAYING “WORTHY IS THE LAMB” WILL I BE READY TO SEE HIM FACE TO FACE. WILL YOU BE READY WHEN JESUS COMES AGAIN?

Talk To Me 05:06
lyrics

Lover to lover, sister to brother Mother to daughter, father to son Write me a letter, make me feel better Send me the word before some damage is done Why don’t you talk to me …. I started running when I saw it coming The looks that you gave me The things that you said Now that it’s over, help me recover There’s so much confusion going round my head Why don’t you talk to me … Tell it like it is, just give it to me straight We’ve got to talk before it’s too late Give me a signal, show me a sign But don’t smile & tell me that everything’s fine Electric highway, light up the skyway Email and faxes, straight from the heart News every hour, we’ve got the power We’re living together, but worlds apart Why don’t you talk to me …. Solo Your mouth is moving but your heart won’t speak Tell me the truth, don’t play hide and seek Tear down the walls, open up the gates Before we explode, let’s communicate

Oh Lord put your healing on me x2 I can forgive but I can’t forget Oh Lord put your healing on me I’m like a train rolling down the track I keep on moving but the memory comes back How many years must this go on Oh Lord let your healing come Oh Lord put your healing on me x2 I can forgive but I can’t forget Oh Lord put your healing on me I see the people walking down the street Pain in their eyes as they shuffle their feet Looking for comfort some peace of mind They need loving of the healing kind Oh Lord put your healing on me x2 I wanna love them but my heart’s not free Oh Lord put your healing on me When life shatters all your hopes and dreams It leaves you wondering just what it all means Without a vision a people die Without hope you can’t even try Oh Lord put your healing on me x 2 I can’t read I can’t even pray Oh Lord take this hurt away Oh Lord put your healing on me x 2 I need to cry but the tears won’t come Oh Lord put your healing on me

I never thought that I’d love again I’d had enough of the tears and the pain Now those lonely days have just gone away There’s been some change in my life And it’s all because of you this old world keeps turning all because of you I can love again Even though this world doesn’t look much better everything’s new, all because of you Came to seek and to save the lost gave your life when you died on the cross then you went away, now you’re here to stay and I’ve got this song in my heart. All because of you I can live forever all because of you in this world there’s hope and even though sometimes this life seems tragic I’ll make it through Because you are so beautiful You shine like the sun You’re the only treasure in this life and I’m so in love with you You give so much to me How could I repay the debt I owe I used to think that I knew it all I tried to run but I couldn’t help but fall There’s so many things I don’t understand But I found a rest in my soul And it’s all because of you I can face tomorrow All because of you I can live today and just because Ii know who holds the future I know the way All because of you I can live forever All because of you for this world there’s hope And even though sometimes I think I’m crazy What can I do, when I know it’s true, it’s all because OF YOU

I'm Grateful 03:30
lyrics

I’m thankful, I’m grateful For every day I have to live I don’t want to take for granted The many ways you give When I wake up in the morning With my baby by my side I can’t help thinking to myself It’s good to be alive. When I look out of my window The weather’s cold the skies are grey But there’s something in my heart That says “it’s a sunny day” Well my body gets so tired Of living with the aches and pains But I’ve got myself a deal where This one will be exchanged. I’m thankful, I’m grateful I’ve only got one life to live When I die I’m going to heaven And I won’t be back again. I guess things always could be better But then again they could be worse Meanwhile I got the greatest love In all theuniverse. It’s my intention to be thankful Even when I’m old and grey I want to leave this world of trouble With a smile upon my face
