LEAN ON YOU
Original lyrics by Stan C. Countz
VERSE 1
From the top of my head to the tip of my tongue
You are familiar with all of my ways
From the rising of the sun to the time it goes down
May your name be forever praised
VERSE 2
Into this evil world you came
Healing the sick and the lame
This world will never be the same
Praise your name
CHORUS
You are the Way, the truth and the life; you were a willing sacrifice
It seems to me the least I can do is to reach out and give you my life
You are ever faithful and true but I could never say the same for me
I’ve been hateful, mean and rude but I’m so grateful I can lean on you
I’m so grateful I can lean on you
BRIDGE
You didn’t do it out of duty
It seems to me you got a raw deal
My ashes for your beauty
At your feet I will kneel
It could’t be for real
CHORUS
OUTRO
What do we have that you could possibly need?
What could we do that you didn’t already do?
What we’ve done for the least of these
We’ve done unto you
Don’t you know it’s true?
What we’ve done for the least of these
We’ve done unto you
CHORUS

MORE FAITH THAN I POSSESS
Lyrics by Stan C. Countz
Take a look all around you
Are you too blind to see?
His handiwork surrounds you
Observe the earth, the sky and sea
Can a painting of vast beauty paint itself?
Can fallow ground plant and till itself?
Can a building plan and build itself?
Then how can man create himself?
It takes more faith than I possess
To place my faith in randomness
Or in a theory or educated guess
Or a well-meant hypothesis
Since when does order come from chaos?
Let’s use the brain our creator gave us
For greater is He who is in us
Than he that is in the world…
To believe that life just happened
Is more than simple, it’s absurd
To believe we came from nothin’
A miracle must have occurred
And we don’t believe in miracles now do we?
Look around you. Are you too blind to see
His handiwork surrounds you
Observe the earth, the sky and sea
I’ll be a monkey’s uncle; you have more faith than I
Even Simon and Garfunkel must have finally realized
That no man is a rock or an island to himself
That grounds and fields can’t plant and till themselves
That buildings and people can’t plan and build themselves
So deliver us from evil and save us from ourselves
Take a look all around you
Are you too blind to see?
His handiwork surrounds you
Observe the earth, the sky and sea
Can a painting of vast beauty paint itself?
Can fallow ground plant and till itself?
Can a building plan and build itself?
Then how can man create himself?
It takes more faith than I possess
To place my faith in randomness
Or in a theory or educated guess
Or a well-meant hypothesis
Since when does order come from chaos?
Let’s use the brain our creator gave us
For greater is He who is in us
Than he that is in the world…
To believe that life just happened
Is more than simple, it’s absurd
To believe we came from nothin’
A miracle must have occurred
And we don’t believe in miracles now do we?
Look around you. Are you too blind to see
His handiwork surrounds you
Observe the earth, the sky and sea
I’ll be a monkey’s uncle; you have more faith than I
Even Simon and Garfunkel must have finally realized
That no man is a rock or an island to himself
That grounds and fields can’t plant and till themselves
That buildings and people can’t plan and build themselves
So deliver us from evil and save us from ourselves

THE NIGHT OUR EYES MET / YOU GOT ME
by Stan C. Countz
I’ll never forget the night our eyes met
I noticed you from across the room
I’ll never regret the night our eyes met
Can’t forget the scent of your perfume
It spelled my doom…
Can't forget the night our eyes met
It was a magic moment of mystery
Won’t regret the night our eyes met
It was a night that changed history
The night our eyes met…
CHORUS
Cant’ forget the night our eyes met
Yeah, I got you, babe, and you got me
Yeah, I chased you ‘til you caught me
Caught me in your net the night our eyes met
And you got me, babe, yeah, you got me
Can’t forget the night our eyes met
You were like a fish out of water
I was out to get you, so I cast my net
I reeled you in, thought now I got ‘er
But, lookin’ back, I can clearly see that actually you got me…
Thought I had you hook, line and sinker
I’d thrown a shoe and made a ringer (but)
You had me wrapped around your little finger
I never claimed to be a deep thinker (‘cuz)
Actually you got me hook, line & sinker
I thought there were lots of fish in the sea
But I chased you ‘til you finally caught me
Now I got you, babe, and you got me
I thought I caught you but you caught me
Yeah, I got you, babe, and you got me
Yeah, I chased you ‘til you caught me
The night our eyes met you caught me in your net
Can’t forget the things you taught me
The night our eyes met you caught me
I’ll never regret the night you got me
CHORUS
I’ll never forget the night our eyes met
I noticed you from across the room
I’ll never regret the night our eyes met
Can’t forget the scent of your perfume
It spelled my doom…
Can't forget the night our eyes met
It was a magic moment of mystery
Won’t regret the night our eyes met
It was a night that changed history
The night our eyes met…
CHORUS
Cant’ forget the night our eyes met
Yeah, I got you, babe, and you got me
Yeah, I chased you ‘til you caught me
Caught me in your net the night our eyes met
And you got me, babe, yeah, you got me
Can’t forget the night our eyes met
You were like a fish out of water
I was out to get you, so I cast my net
I reeled you in, thought now I got ‘er
But, lookin’ back, I can clearly see that actually you got me…
Thought I had you hook, line and sinker
I’d thrown a shoe and made a ringer (but)
You had me wrapped around your little finger
I never claimed to be a deep thinker (‘cuz)
Actually you got me hook, line & sinker
I thought there were lots of fish in the sea
But I chased you ‘til you finally caught me
Now I got you, babe, and you got me
I thought I caught you but you caught me
Yeah, I got you, babe, and you got me
Yeah, I chased you ‘til you caught me
The night our eyes met you caught me in your net
Can’t forget the things you taught me
The night our eyes met you caught me
I’ll never regret the night you got me
CHORUS
