BUCKLE UP

I see in all your actions
I can read between the lines
Better hold on tight, it’s gonna be a rocky ride

Love can be so lovely
But what you got ain’t that
I hate to see you hurt, Friend, hurt this bad

    Buckle up
    Buckle up, better fasten tight
    Buckle up
    If you’ve got troubled love
    Better buckle up

I've been right there where you are
I know the drama well
You try, but can't get off the carousel

So that's why I wanna warn ya
Hate to see you hit so hard
Plant your feet and don't be caught off guard

    Buckle up
    Buckle up, better fasten tight
    Buckle up
    If you’ve got troubled love
    Better buckle up

LOOK AT TOMORROW WITH LOVE

Some folks are giving up the ghost
Throwing up their hands and losing all hope
But I'm saying “no” to the madness
Gonna say “no” to the sadness
I'm gonna walk with my head up 
And look at tomorrow with love

No doubt we're living in troubled times
But it does no good to sit and whine
Gonna stay strong, no more weakness
Got to hang on, not be defeated
I'm gonna walk with my head up 
And look at tomorrow with love

    I wanna see love when I look at the world
    Joy and peace, not hate
    Nothing but love, help me see sunshine
    Not dwell on the rain

I'm not letting go of my future
Not gonna go be a loser
Gonna walk with my head up 
And look at tomorrow with love
I'm gonna walk with my head up 
And look at tomorrow with love

I COULDN'T BE THAT LUCKY

I’ve been feeling more and more
That you’re just the girl I’m looking for
Maybe if I tried
Could have you by my side 

    But I couldn't be that lucky
    I couldn't be that lucky
    To ever have you in my life

I see a happy life for two
But it seems it never will come true
How lovely it would be
To have you here with me

    But I couldn't be that lucky
    I couldn't be that lucky
    To ever have you in my life

    I couldn't be that lucky
    I couldn't be that lucky
    To ever have you in my life

BLUES IN YOUR BLOOD

You try to write a Rock song
or a Pop song
And find it comes through

Can’t seem to help it
Once you’ve felt it
And it gets inside you

       You can’t hide it
       Folks will figure out what you really love
       When you’ve got the Blues in your blood

Nothing like a shuffle
To ease the struggles
You have every day

Makes all the madness
And the sadness
Soon go away

       You can’t deny it
       It becomes so clear what you really love
       When you’ve got the Blues in your blood

       No need to fight it
       Just give in to what you really love
       When you’ve got the Blues in your blood

MOVE ME WITH SOME MOTOWN

Take me back to some Smokey songs
I wanna clap my hands and sing along
You can't help but move your feet
When you hear that bass and feel that funky beat
It only takes a little tambourine
To make you bop your head and make your body swing
 
       Move me with some Motown
       Love it when I hear that sound
       Groove me with some Motown
       No better feeling can be found
       Than when you move me with some Motown
 
Stroll me down West Grand Boulevard
Where hits were made that went up the charts
Where The Miracles and Marvelettes
And Little Stevie started their success
Nothing else on earth can move me more
Make me wanna get up and hit that dance floor

       Move me with some Motown
       Love it when I hear that sound
       Groove me with some Motown
       No better feeling can be found
       Than when you move me with some Motown

HID IN OUR HEARTS

We come to sing and praise His name
Our spirit’s often moved
His Word we read, we know we need
To show ourselves approved
We have the life 
Abundant life

    We all have hope
    We have a life beyond compare
    We have Jesus living in our hearts
    Yet there’s people everywhere
    That won't know about this hope
    They’ll live a life filled with despair
    If we all keep Jesus hid in our hearts
    And we never take the time to share

We do His work, we go to church
Sometimes most every day
This must be done, but the lost ones 
Must somehow find the way
We have it all
But it can’t stay inside of four walls 

    We all have hope
    We have a life beyond compare
    We have Jesus living in our hearts
    Yet there’s people everywhere
    That won't know about this hope
    They’ll live a life filled with despair
    If we all keep Jesus hid in our hearts
    And we never take the time to share

NEW WORLD ORDER

    We need to order a New World, not a New World Order
    We need to order a New World, not a New World Order

What's this I hear coming on my TV?
Some talk of new order that's supposed to bring peace
Even our folks in Washington see
Some kind of hope in their new philosophy
On and on
They just keep saying how they're gonna bring about this change
But change won't come ‘cause men's hearts will be the same

    We need to order a New World, not a New World Order
    We need to order a New World, not a New World Order

We have been promised a new heaven and new earth
That will bring lasting peace
Orders are being taken, so place yours right now
Soon opportunities will cease
On and on
We'll live forevermore with no sorrow and pain
No more conflicts and wars ‘cause Jesus then will reign

    We need to order a New World, not a New World Order
    We need to order a New World, not a New World Order

        This New World Order is not really new
        It's the same disorder
        Just been repackaged
        To deceive me and you
        But only Jesus can bring something new
        He's offering new life
        And a new world for the few
        That will just trust in Him
        Have you made sure His order book
        Has your name entered in

    We need to order a New World, not a New World Order
    We need to order a New World, not a New World Order

--- Lyrics ---

On a chain
Blue diamonds on a golden Chain
Brilliant stones
Bound together by links of gold
See how they Sparkle in the light
Blue diamonds on a chain of solid gold

Silver bells
Pearl handles on two silver bells
In the night
Still ringing after all this time
Hear how the music fills the air
Still ringing, in the night after all this time 

All of the colors
So many colors 

Candle light
Two candles make a lovely sight
Fire light
Reflected in your smoky eyes
How many colors do you see in the light
Of the candles
Lighting up the night 

Two diamonds Sparkle in the light
Blue diamonds on a chain of solid gold

La la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la

Blue Diamonds on a Golden Chain

I'D RATHER BE LOVING YOU
Donny Grace

Back on the road
Me and my guitar
Good to have some work I know
But it's not where you are
All I can think about’s
I'd rather be loving you

Just been a day
We've been apart
But seems like a year, Babe
In the life of this lonely heart
I sure do need you now
I'd rather be loving you

    Can't wait till I walk back through that door
    And hold you close once more
    Love making my music, but the sweetest serenade’s
    The music I make with you

Meanwhile I’m here
Singing my songs
But you’ll know how I feel
When I finally get home
'Cause all I've been thinking ‘bout’s
I'd rather be loving you

All I’ve been thinking ‘bout, Baby
I'd rather be loving you

TILL I GET TO YOUR HOUSE
Donny Grace	

Headin’ out from my place
Got the car all washed and shined
Somehow this highway
Gets longer every time

It seems like forever
It seems like I’m never
Gonna get to you 

    Can’t wait until I get to your house
    I’m rolling on down the road
    Till I get to your house
    Come on, get me where I wanna go
    Just can’t wait, just can’t wait
    Till I get to your house

Your face on the front porch
Is all I wanna see
Can’t wait till you’re once more
Smiling back at me

Things‘ll be so much better
When we are together
When I get to you

    Can’t wait until I get to your house
    I’m rolling on down the road
    Till I get to your house
    Come on, get me where I wanna go
    Just can’t wait, just can’t wait
    Till I get to your house

Till I Get to Your House

LEFT TO BE LONELY
===============================

Sittin' here staring, people passing down the street
One plate, a single glass at the table where you eat
Such a sad day
But that's where you are

Life was so easy, now a challenge to be strong
Everything's so out of place trying to find where you belong
It's a bad day
Being alone can be so hard, can be so hard

       All through history
       There's been injury
       Endless misery
       When love goes wrong

       Seems it's now your turn
       You've been badly burned
       Such a sad testimony
       When you’re left to be lonely

Doing what you got to, though you do it all alone
You know you've somehow gotta make it on your own
It's a hard climb
Time slowly goes by

It always seems to be somebody else
Now you’re finding it's you all by yourself
Separation
Isolation, but you hold your head high

       All through history
       There's been injury
       Endless misery
       When love goes wrong

       Seems it's now your turn
       You've been badly burned
       Such a sad testimony
       When you’re left to be lonely
