(love songs I always play, hear and sing)

THE DAY BEFORE YOU

Matthew West

I had all but given up
On finding the one that I could fall into
On the day before you
I was ready to settle for
Less than love and not much more
There was no such thing as a dream come true
Oh, but that was on the day before you

Now you're here and everything's changing
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I will never have to go back to
The day before you

In your eyes I see forever
It makes me wish that my life never knew
The day before you
Oh, but Heaven knows those years without you

Were shapin' my heart for the day that I found you
You're the reason for all that I've been through
Then I'm thankful for the day before you-
Yeah, yeah

Now you're here and everything's changing
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I will never have to go back to
The day before you

Was the last day that I ever lived alone
And I'm never goin' back
No, I'm never goin' back

Now you're here and everything's changing
Suddenly life means so much
I can't wait to wake up tomorrow
And find out this promise is true
I will never have to go back to
Yeah, I will never have to go back to
The day before you, the day before you

"FOR MY LOVE"

Bethany Dillon

Walk towards me
I want to hear
The heavens singing over you
When you breathe
And look at me
I want to be captured by you

Gaze into my eyes
And let me know you’d fight
Thousands, for my love
Slip your hand in mine
Ask me to dance with you tonight
Just ask me for my love

I want to hide
What’s deep in my eyes
I’m scared to be known by you
But when I turn my head
And see you there
I want to be pursued

Gaze into my eyes
And let me know you’d fight
Thousands, for my love
Slip your hand in mine
Ask me to dance with you tonight
Just ask me for my love

A dream I won’t wake from
A story that will never end
The ground your feet walk on
Let me be there, let me be there

Gaze into my eyes
Let me know you’d fight
Thousands, for my love
Slip your hand in mine
Ask me to dance with you tonight
Just ask me for my love

Gaze into my eyes
Let me know you’d fight
Thousands, for my love
Slip your hand in mine
Ask me to dance with you tonight
Ask me for my love

A PAGE IS TURNED

 Bebo Norman

A page is turned by the wind to a boy in curly grin 
With a world to conquer at the age of ten 
But as history unfolds and the storybook is told 
He finds salvation but not at the hands of man

And the God of second chance 
Picked him up and He let him dance 
Through a world that is not kind 
And all this time, preparing him, the one 
To hold him up when he comes undone 
Beneath the storm, beneath the sun 
And now a man, here you stand 
Your day has come

A page is turned in this world to reveal a little girl 
With a heart that's bigger, as it is unfurled 
By the language in her soul, that's teaching her to grow 
With a careful cover of love that will not fail

And the God of second chance 
Picked her up and He let her dance 
Through a world that isn't kind 
And all this time, preparing her the one 
To hold her up when she comes undone 
Beneath the storm, beneath the sun 
And grown up tall, here you are 
Your day has come

Beneath the air of autumn, she took him by his hand 
And warm within the ardor, she took his heart instead 
And high upon the mountain, he asked her for her hand 
Just for her hand

A page is turned in this life, he's making her his wife 
And there is no secret to the source of this much life 
When the grace that falls like rain is washing them again 
Just a chance to somehow rise above this land

Where the God of second chance 
Will pick them up and he'll let them dance 
Through a world that is not kind 
And all this time, they're sharing with the one 
That holds them up when they come undone 
Beneath the storm, beneath the sun 
And once again, here you stand 
And once again, here you stand 
Your day has come

BY HEART, BY SOUL

Avalon 

VERSE 1:
If You were a road
I'd learn every turn til I 
Could find my way with my eyes closed
If You were a song
I'd sing along til I
Knew every word and every note

But you were everything to me
A mystery
Your the Love I live to see

CHORUS:
By heart, by soul
Thats how I want to know You
Keep you as close as
Breath is to life
Wanna watch Your Love unfold
By heart, by soul

VERSE 2:
If You were a place
I'd stay my whole life til I
Had every corner memorized
And if You were a star
I'f follow You home, You would be
The Light that is my only guide

You were everything to me
My A to Z
Your the Love thats lives in me

BRIDGE:
I wanna know You inside and out
Better than I even know myself

If You were a star
I'd follow You home by heart
By soul
