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

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
