Step by Step
By Bryan Duncan & Michael Omartian

I'm startin' over for the rest of my life
Mistakes I can never take back
Made my decisions, I'm willing, I'm able
With Your help on my side
I know it's easier to run away
Than to face the way I feel
I know I need You but I'm still afraid
It's a last chance
Gonna trust You now for the first time
Takin' it

Step by step,
Like walkin' on water
To a land no man can see
Step by step by step
A little step closer to
The man I long to be

All the things they've said and I've quoted
What a man's world is supposed to be
Can I be strong, yet be humble and tender
And allow you to watch over me, yeah?
I'm self-sufficient though I'm all alone
In control and insecure
I know you know how hard this is for me
To admit I'm wrong
But after everything else I've tried
Now I'm takin' it

Step by step, oh yeah
(Like walkin' on water)
To a land no man can see
(Step by step)
Step by step
Learnin' to dance once more
For the joy that can set me free
(Step by step by step)
No it ain't easy
(No)
To believe love is liftin' me, yeah
(Step by step)
A little step closer to
The man I long to be

Whoo!

(Step, step)

I'm takin' it
Step by step,
Like walkin' on water
(I'm walkin')
To a land no man can see
(Step by step by step)
Learnin' to dance once more
For the joy that can set me free
(Step by step)
No it ain't easy
(No it ain't easy)
To believe love is liftin' me
(Step by step by step)
A little step closer to
The man I long to be, yeah

(Step)
A little step closer
(By step)
Closer to the man that I long to be
(Step)
Closer
A little step
(By step)
Closer to the man that I long to be
(Step)
A little step
(Step)
Step at a time
Come on step
(Step by step)
See you gettin' closer to
(By step)
Here I come, gettin' a little closer to
(Step by step)
Hey, a little closer
Comin' on
(Step by step)
Here I come closer to
[scat singing]
(Step, step by step)

Into My Heart
By Bryan Duncan & Reed Vertelney

You've got me shakin', time out
I thought I had You figured out
But I've been mistaken somehow
Thought I'd learned the truth by now
I guess I've been thinkin' way too much
Could be I'm out of touch

Gotta get You
(Into my heart and out of my head)
Sometimes they're just so far apart
(Into my heart and out of my head)
I need Your help to find a way
Into my heart

I keep my distance, my pride
Such a clever place to hide
What a sad existence in my mind
Another precious waste of time
The best way to change my mind I've found
And turn my life around

Is to get You
(Into my heart and out of my head)
No mind games, I'll take love instead
(Into my heart and out of my head)
I need Your help to find a way
(I need Your help)
Into my heart

Oh it would be so easy just to lock my heart away
Turn my back and I would never have to say
Long as I live, I need you
To feel the way that I do
Oh!
Oh! Oh! Ooooo!

(Into my heart and out of my head)
Sometimes they're just so far apart
(Into my heart and out of my head
I need Your help to find the way)
(Into my heart and out of my head)
Oh! I'll take love instead
(Into my heart and out of my head
I need Your help to find the way
Into my heart and out of my head
I need Your help to find the way
Into my heart and out of my head)
Ooooo!
(I need Your help to find the way
Into my heart and out of my head
I need Your help to find the way
I'm out of my head!
Into my heart and out of my head

You Don't Leave Me Lonely
by Bryan Duncan & Randy Lee

I know you had to leave us for heaven
It's alright
The living here ain't easy to take now
But it's alright
Don't matter 'cause I will never lose the joy you've given me
Wish I could have told you so
Just once before God set you free
Let it be 'cause

You
(Don't leave me lonely)
No you leave me
(Longing for you)
You
(Don't leave me lonely, oh no)
I'm longing for you

We could have spent more time together
(It's alright, alright)
The things I could have said, now I'll never
It's alright
Don't worry, child
I believe the prayer we prayed for a brighter day
This is why we build our faith on someone
Who never fades away
I'm here to say that

You
(Don't leave me lonely)
No you leave me
(I'm longing for you)
And you
(Don't leave me lonely, oh no)
Longing for you
(Don't leave me lonely)
Don't leave me lonely
(I'm longing for you)
And you
(Don't leave me lonely)
Oh no, and I'm longing for you

Jesus, keep my longing heart from breaking clean in two
Oh, stand by me, Lord, and help me see this through
'Cause a Father knows how bad it feels to lose someone
To lose someone
To lose a son like you

(Don't leave me lonely)
Don't leave me lonely
(I'm longing for you)
Ah, oh!
(Don't leave me lonely, oh no)
Oh no!
(Don't leave me lonely)
You don't leave me lonely, ah
(I'm longing for you)
Ah, you
(Don't leave me lonely, lonely for you)
For you
(Don't leave me lonely
I'm longing for you)
Yeah!
(Don't leave me lonely, oh no)
Longing for you!

When it Comes to Love
by Bryan Duncan

When it comes to love
I'd do most anything
'Cause if you have it in your heart you know
You're a rich man
There's just not enough
To go around the world today
And if we had a little more, you know
It'd be a better place
I can only go by what's happened to me
And now I realize
When it comes to love

You're gonna cry a little
Hurt a little
Feel a little pain in your heart
Laugh a little
Care a lot
Take a look at what you've got
It's true we're human
We make mistakes, but
We're gonna live to see a brighter day
(So do what you gotta do what you gotta do)
Yeah, whoo

(When it comes to love)
I just wanna have it all
It's not something you can buy
In any store
Someone to trust
That's what I'm lookin' for
I'm gonna open up my heart and ask you
To open yours
I'm not tryin' to tell you just how it should be
I just want to show you clearly
When it comes to love

You're gonna cry a little
Hurt a little
Feel a little pain in your heart
Laugh a little
Care a lot
Take a look at what you've got
It's true we're human
We make mistakes, but
We're gonna live to see a brighter day
(So do what you gotta do what you gotta do)
Oh, yeah!

(When it comes to love)
Oh, I can build a world
With you by my side
(When it comes to love)
Together we can start a fire
That'll light up the night
Oh, they say you don't know what you got
'Til it's too late
So let's not make the same ol' mistake
(Same mistake)
Yeah!
Whooo!

(Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)

Whooo!

You're gonna cry a little
Hurt a little
Feel a little pain in your heart
Laugh a little
Care a lot
Take a look at what you've got
It's true we're human
We make mistakes, but
We're gonna live to see a brighter day
Oh, a brighter day

You're gonna cry a little
Hurt a little
Feel a little pain in your heart
Laugh a little
Care a lot
Take a look at what you've got
It's true we're human
We make mistakes, but
We're gonna live to see a brighter day
(So do what you gotta do what you gotta do)
A brighter day, yeah!

Whooo, yeah!
(When it comes to love)
Oh!
When it comes to love, yeah!
(When it comes to love)
You know you'll cry a little, yeah, oh!
(When it comes to love)
Yeah, oh,
(To love)
Oh! Yeah!
Take a look at what you've got
(Nothin' can stop me from feelin' love, feelin' love
When it comes to . . .
Nothin' can stop me from feelin' love, love)

Looks a Lot Like Me
by Bryan Duncan & Chuck Barth

Oh! Ok!
Opportunity's knockin'
And you know it just won't go away
This boat's rockin'
Who's gonna save the day
Someone who's unpretentious
Undeniably noble and humble, too
So conscientous
Somebody who can say can do
Let's face it, makes me wanna smile

Looks a lot like me, ha!
Think I recognize my good side
Looks a lot like me, yeah
Forget it, deny it, but I can tell
Looks a lot like me
You can see that I'm the one
No problem
Looks a lot like me, yeah
Anyone could do
But I would likely be the one

[Well I would likely be the one]

Up the expectations
Signify by warm uplifted hand
No obligation
Who's gonna take the stand
We need a resolution
We need an unreluctant volunteer
And perfect execution
Yeah, that's all we need
We don't doubt, but don't get here
So now who's standin' first in line?

Looks a lot like me
Think I recognize my good side
Looks a lot like me, yeah
Forget it, deny it, but I can tell
Looks a lot like me
You can see that I'm the one
No problem
(Looks a lot like me, yeah)
Oh! Anyone could do
But I would likely be the one

[scat singing]

Oh, who decides if you're gonna have a good time?
(Looks a lot like me)
Who gets the job when nobody wants it?
(Looks a lot like me)
Who's goin' first if it looks a little dangerous?
(Looks a lot like me)
Yeah, who gets the credit if it doesn't get done?
(Looks a lot, looks a lot)
Oh, yeah!

Looks a lot like me
Think I recognize my good side
Looks a lot like me, yeah
Forget it, but I can, but I can tell
(Looks a lot like me)
You can see, that I'm the one, see that I'm the one
No problem
(Looks a lot like me, yeah)
Bo di doh doh, do di doh doh, do di doh doh doh!

(Looks a lot like me)
Think I recognize my good side
(Looks a lot like me, yeah)
[scat singing]
(A lot like me
Looks a lot like me, yeah
Looks a lot like me
Looks a lot like me, yeah
A lot like me
Looks a lot like me, yeah)

Love Takes Time
by Bryan Duncan & Chuck Barth

Oh, have you ever been lied to?
Maybe mistreated
Taken for granted
'Til you just can't stand it?
Were you ever mistaken?
Thought to be someone
That you just can't be?
So, where's the love you need?

(Love takes time
Please be kind
See every part of me)
Cause I wanna be loved!
(Love ain't blind
Ties that bind
Take on eternity)

Oh, would you like to be trusted
Well, for once in your life?
Carry that fire
Without burnin' each other
Are you easily angry
Oh, can you bury your pride
Could you ever forgive me
And not keep it inside??

(Love takes time
Please be kind
See every part of me)
Cause I wanna be loved!
(Love ain't blind
Ties that bind
Take on eternity)
Cause I wanna be loved!
(Love takes time
Please be kind
See every part of me)
Oh, yeah!
(Love ain't blind
Ties that bind
Take on eternity)

Hey! make a sacrifice sometimes
Maybe more than you planned
Don't you hate to go through
The pain it takes to make a stand
A hardened heart or a heartache
To admit that you're wrong
And though it's hard
It hardly matters if that love is gone
Make a sacrifice sometimes!

(Love takes time
Please be kind
See every part of me)
Cause I wanna be loved!
(Love ain't blind
Ties that bind
Take on eternity, on eternity)
(Love takes time
Please be kind
See every part of me, every part of me)
(Love ain't blind
Ties that bind
Take on eternity, on eternity
Love takes time
Please be kind)
Please be kind!
(See every part of me)

Faithful to You
by Bryan Duncan & Chuck Barth

Finally caught me at a loss for words
I never thought I'd see the day
Can't imagine what you're goin' through
There's not a single thing to say
Wouldn't fix it anyway, oh no
You know that sometimes this life's not fair
And no one can ever tell you
That they know just how you feel
Crimes like these, I'm sure the pain becomes so real
It takes a miracle to heal, oh yeah
And understanding is far from here
In the crazy times we're livin' in you can't stay the same
Changes for you, changes for me

But come what may my heart will stay
Faithful to you
Doesn't matter what you're goin' through, no
When I can't help myself, I'll stay
Faithful to you
Doesn't matter what you're goin' through

And I'll cry cause I can see you're hurt inside
And I'll die a little everytime
I hear what you confide
'Til everything that's true is tried once more
Until we're standing at heaven's door
In the crazy times we're livin' in God's love remains
He's faithful to you, He's faithful to me, yeah!

Come what may my heart will stay
Faithful to you
Doesn't matter what you're goin' through, no
When I can't help myself, I'll pray,
He's faithful to you
Doesn't matter what you're goin' through

Oh! Yeah!
Oooooo!

So, come what may my heart will stay
Faithful to you
Doesn't matter what you're goin' through, no
When I can't help myself, I'll pray
He's faithful to you
Ooh, yea, yeah
So, come what may my heart will stay
Faithful to you
Doesn't matter what you're goin' through, no
When I can't help myself, I'll pray
He's faithful to you
Oh, oh!
Oooh, yeah, yeah
Oh, you know I'll be faithful
Oh, ooooh!

I'll Not Forget You
by Bryan Duncan & Chuck Barth

Sarah's waiting in a crown of silver hair
Maternal heart still aching
A promised ray of hope, a child to bear
No child is here, is this not fair?
Her labor of love has no device
Faithful in silent sacrifice
Has Heaven forgotten?
Is God still there?
He says, "Learn to trust me"

"I'll not forget you,
I'll not forget you,
I'll not forget you,
I'll not forget you"

Abraham is marking time as years go by
Hiding his pain in laughter
And every night he's counting stars that fill the sky
So sure his dream has passed him by
Doubting, his vision's not so clear
What did God say, what did I hear?
Has heaven forgotten?
Is God still there?
He says, "Learn to trust me"

"I'll not forget you,
I'll not forget you,
I'll not forget you,
I'll not forget you"

Ooooh!
Oh! And every day in pain, I wait
I can't help but wonder why
You promise me your love and say goodbye
Please don't say goodbye!

I'll not forget you
I'll not forget you
I'll not forget you
I'll not forget you, oh!
When you walk alone
When you break inside
(I'll not forget you)
When a loved one dies
(I'll not forget you
I'll not forget you)
When your youth is gone
(I'll not forget you
I'll not forget you)
Oh in an empty home
(I'll not forget you
I'll not forget you)
When your health has gone
(I'll not forget you)

Five Smooth Stones
by Bryan Duncan, Cedric Lee, Lou Ann Lee & Randy Lee

Oh!
When I'm facin' trouble I just can't go 'round
And I'm starin' this thing up and down
I'm not so scared inside I've go to run
I've seen greater struggles won by one
Oh my,
They tell me I might look like a fool
Oh no
Let me tell ya a little story that I learned in school!

Take five smooth stones
Never have to fight alone
Size ain't where you get your power from, no
Aim high, swing low, wind 'em up and let one go
And then stand back and watch that giant fall

Oh, when I feel outnumbered, maybe five to one
And I hear 'em talkin', makin' fun
Yeah!
Don't laugh, I know I'm not so big and strong
But I'll be starin' down on you before too long
My Lord!
I'm askin' for the strength to see me through
My God!
I'm movin' when you tell me what I'm s'posed to do

Take five smooth stones and
Never have to fight alone
Size ain't where you get your power from
Aim high, swing low, (yeah)wind 'em up and let one go
And then stand back and watch that giant fall

Take five smooth stones
Never have to fight alone
Size ain't where you get your power from, no, oh
Aim high, swing low, wind 'em up and let one go
And then stand back and watch that giant fall
Oh, yeah, yeah!

You tell me I may never walk away
(Oh no)
That's not a cross too hard to bear
It doesn't matter what the papers say
I make my own headlines clear!

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,!

Yeah, take five smooth stones
Never have to fight alone
Size ain't where you get your power from
Aim high, swing low, wind 'em up and let one go
And then stand back and watch that giant fall

Take five smooth stones
Never have to fight alone
Size ain't where you get your power from, no, no, no
Aim high, swing low, wind 'em up and let one go
And then stand back and watch that giant fall

Yeah, take five smooth stones
Never have to fight alone
Size ain't where you get your power from
Aim high, swing low, wind 'em up and let one go
