Clap Your Hands (duet with Ashley Cleveland)
By Bryan Duncan & Chuck Barth
I met a man of God I was on the low end of the straight and narrow road
I said, "I'm broke down on this highway again, on my way to victory in my soul."
Well he said, "The quickest way to victory, son, is to let the Devil see you smile."
Clap your hands, you know Jesus he loves you
Clap your hands and your feet will follow thru
Walk that walk 'cause it makes the Devil cry
Talk that talk when people ask you why you clap your hands
I get turned around sometimes and I'm trippin in the darkness, there for days
But I'm afraid to let my people down so I'm actin like I'm Moses and I know the way
He said just sing the Lord your song
Clap your hands and watch the lights go on
Clap your hands, you know Jesus he loves you
Clap your hands and your feet will follow thru
Walk that walk 'cause it makes the Devil cry
Talk that talk when people ask you why you clap your hands
Don't let 'em tell you where to turn or where to get off now
Don't let tell tell ya there's another way
No matter how it hurts or how they say it's supposed to feel
You just keep your eyes on the center line
And let this narrow road take you home
Clap your hands, you know Jesus he loves you
Clap your hands and your feet will follow thru
Walk that walk 'cause it makes the Devil cry
Talk that talk when people ask you why you clap your hands
Clap your hands, you know Jesus he loves you
Clap your hands and your feet will follow thru
Walk that walk 'cause it makes the Devil cry
Talk that talk when people ask you why you clap your hands

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

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)

Don't Help The Devil
by Bryan Duncan for Slam Duncan Music
I got a friend who thinks he's right on time,
he's got the answers for everyone else on a shelf
He's really angry but he says he's fine
Sees his finger point but not the three back at himself
* how deep does your love run ... Before your love runs out
How long you gonna talk about others before you're all talked out
You better get used to yourself now... Some things you can't control
Maybe ask for what you need a little more help for
And Don't help the Devil... Devil's doin pretty good on his own
I got a sister knows a thing or two
she's keepin track of all the nasty little things that I do
Got a name for every game I play
And tells her friends that you didn't hear it from me
*repeat
I'm never more than one step away from things I used to do
It only takes a push from behind to make me act the fool
And so I take a look at myself... And I gotta say... ©2003 Slam Duncan Music, Inc. (ASCAP)

No Words..........
by Bryan Duncan
Up all night tryin to write everything about love I understand
So there's no words to this song
You and me through thick and thin thank you lord but where do I begin
Cause there's no words for this song
Chorus... A lot I could say but nothing quite feels right
cause there's no words there's just no words at all...
In the brief light of my own clear mind thought I'd write how I love my time
with you... But there's no words for this song...
Could be wrong that's alright, I'm just sayin how grateful I am...
And there's no words for this song
Chorus... A lot I could say but nothing quite feels right
cause there's no words there's just no words at all...
flowery words won't do when I think of you
and how grateful lord I am there's just no words for this song ©2003 Slam Duncan Music, Inc. (ASCAP)

You Only You
by Bryan Duncan
Verse: lord your love is everlasting your promises true
I have never been forsaken when my trust is in you
the world around me is a river can sweep me away
when I find I'm missing heaven I remember I'm anchored in
chorus: you only you only you I've come to put my trust in
you only you only you
And you only you only you can turn my night to day
you only you only you
Chorus: repeat
Bridge; Your grace is just enough for me my only true security
leaning on you leaning on you
your word in all it's healing power available at any hour
leaning on you leaning on you
Chorus: Repeat. ©2003 Slam Duncan Music, Inc. (ASCAP)

I Never Lied To You
by Bryan Duncan
Said I never loved you, said I never did
That's what I believed, before I ever said it
Never wanna see your face, or speak to you again
Cause I can live without pain, I can handle my own sin
chorus: never lied to you, never lied to you, never lied to you
until I lied to myself
never lied to you, never lied to you, never lied to you
until I lied to myself
Said there were no secrets, buried in the sand
Standing in the canyon, I dug with my own two hands
No needs to help me, alone I'm doin fine
I can live without love, I can manage my own sweet time
Chorus: repeat
bridge: is there room in your heart to forgive me
find it hard to forgive myself
for the lies that I find within me
must be harder for someone else
all I can do is tell the truth I lied to you
to hide the truth from myself
chorus: repeat ©2003 Slam Duncan Music, Inc. (ASCAP)

I Love You with My Life
by Bryan Duncan
I would like to say,
Just before I leave you,
Ill be back someday,
And with me I will take you
So do not be afraid,
Only watch and pray,
And wait for my return.
Ive done what I must do,
My work here is completed,
Its all been done for you,
Believe what I have stated,
And I will give you peace
Through all your tribulations,
Until I come again.
CHORUS:
Please now that I love you,
Ill stay by your side.
If only now in spirit,
Ill still be your guide.
You will not suffer long,
For I have suffered for you,
I love you with my life.
Ill prepare a place
Where we can live together,
Ill meet you face to face,
To share our new forever.
Dont let your love grow cold,
And I will not allow
Whats more than you can bear.
CHORUS:
Love you with my life.©1978 Lexicon Music, Inc. (ASCAP)

It Gets Better By Bryan Duncan & Chuck Barth
It gets better
Closer to the love of my life
it gets better
It gets better
Closer to the love of my life
it gets better
The love of God is sneakin' up on me
Just turned around and here it comes I see
Closer he gets
Closer I wanna be
It gets better closer to the love of my life
So never mind all the trouble I've seen
Just caught a vision on a trampoline
Tell everybody I'm takin' the highest road home
It gets better
Closer to the love of my life
It gets better
It gets better
Closer to the love of my life
It gets better
Once you've found the best thing in life is still free
There's no place else to go for me
It gets better
Closer to the love of my life
It gets better
It gets better
Closer to the love of my life
It gets better
One step further, never back
Am I there yet?
No, but I'm happy where I'm at
Just gets better closer to the love of my life
It gets better
Closer to the love of my life
It gets better
It gets better
Closer to the love of my life
It gets better

Joy is a Singable Thing
by Bryan Duncan & James Felix Oh!
Love love, mm
Love mercy, too
It's God's goodness getting' me through
Love joy
It's the greatest thing
A sweet expression in all I do
Makes me want to cry when I'm happy, oh
Keeps me laughin' some time when I'm sad
When It's good It's so unspeakable
I can't explain it
Oh! Don't wanna lose it tryin' to figure it out
Joy!
(Joy is)
Is a singable thing
Sho' worth singin' about
Not peace, mm
It's not happiness
It must somethin' rolled up in between
Not sure but I do know
What I get when I live my life clean
I ain't got, no, all the answers, no
This feelin' makes a singer of me , yeah
It's true I can't explain it
Oh and I've got to have it, yo!
Throws a light on a shadow of doubt
Joy!
(Joy is)
A singable thing
Sho' worth singin' about,
(About)
Oh, I said joy!
(Joy is)
A melody ringin'
From the inside out
Whoo!
Can't imagine it'd be too hard to have it
When you're hangin' with the heavenly host, no, no, no, no, oh, oh
But when I'm out there facin' down my troubles
Well, I don't mind a present from the Holy Ghost
Yay, yay, whoo!
(Joy is a singable thing
Sho' worth singin' about)
Oh, yeah!
Singin' about!
(Joy is a melody ringin'
From the inside out)
Whoo! I'm talkin' 'bout joy!

From the inside out)
Oh yeah!, Oh! Ah! Whoo!
