Ah-ah, oh-oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Billy and Patty Ann, Billy and Patty Ann,
The brightest light, a bond forever,
Their love will always stand, Billy and Patty Ann.
Her smile lit up the room, a sweetness, a rose in bloom,
Loved by all, joyful and fun, her spirit will live on.
Billy and Patty Ann, Billy and Patty Ann,
The brightest star, will always shine, True love, never dies.
Many good times, still she let me know,
I could do better, and that gave me hope.
Now that she’s gone, keep her close by,
Do the best we can, one day at a time.
Ah-ah, oh-oh, whoa, whoa, whoa
A loyal and loving friend, A kind heart, a God send,
A pure soul, an angel that fly’s, meet you in the sky.
Billy and Patty Ann, Billy and Patty Ann,
The brightest light, a bond forever,
Their love will always stand, Billy and Patty Ann.
Ah-ah, oh-oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.

Johnny Came Home
03:05

Johnny came home, Johnny came home.
Everyone was praying, asking God to save him,
Then, Johnny came home.
How do you do, persevered right on through,
Genuine tenacity, that the whole world could see.
Johnny came home, Johnny came home.
Everyone was waiting, all the saints were saying,
That, Johnny came home.
June flew round to greet 'em,
The first family very glad to see him,
Long time since the outlaw hit, but Johnny finally made it!
Johnny came home, Johnny came home.
Everyone was waving, soul-dancin’ and swaying,
When, Johnny came home.
He came through those pearly gates,
While singin’ God is love, ain’t that great!
Now he’s rockin’ first chair, in Heaven’s all-star band.
Johnny's home now, He loves you yeah, yeah, yeah,
Johnny's came home, he's a believer, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Precious Lord, precious Lord, precious Lord.
Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, let me stand,
I'm tired, and I'm weak, and I worn;
Through the storm, through the night, lead me on to the light,
Take my hand, precious Lord, Lead me home.
When my way grows drear, precious Lord linger near,
When my life, when my life is almost gone,
Hear my cry, hear my call, hold my hand, lest I fall,
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.
When the darkness appears, and the night draws near,
And the day, and the day is past and gone,
At the river I stand, guide my feet, hold my hand,
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home,
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home,
Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.
Lead me home.

Brother In Arms
03:32
|
|||
Gibson Station in the dark of the night,
By the tracks not a train in sight.
Strolled right up and shook my hand, while asking,
How long you stayin’ man?
No, big cat, I’m back home now, well,
It’s good to see you ‘gain anyhow.
Wa-a-a-ah-oh, yeah, it's good to see you again anyhow.
Let's roll down the line, on this roadway called life,
So whenever, we're together, like brothers, in arms.
Let's roll down the line, on this roadway called life,
So whenever, we're together, like brothers, in arms.
He stands tall and is quite funny,
Generous with his time and money.
Has my back in times of trouble,
Fights for truth and ready to rumble.
Heart as pure as gold, let the good times, roll on.
Wa-a-a-a-oh, yeah, let the good times, roll on.

Perfect Love
04:00
|
|||
Surely I know, the one I love,
King of Kings enthroned above,
God's perfect love.
Wake each mornin’, praising His name,
Giving thanks, glory and acclaim,
God's perfect love.
Yeah! Livin’ my life, repentant to sin,
Blessed I’d say, trusting in Him,
God's perfect love.
God is love, that’s kind,
God is love, that finds, you,
Perfect love, He’s love, God is love.
Don’t take this song to lightly,
Wake up my friends, act quickly.
This life on earth a fraction,
New creation, it's attraction.
It’s not too late, no, it’s not too late,
To reach, Heaven’s gate.
Called with favor, by His grace,
faithful witness in time and space,
God's perfect love.
In the days light, reflected I shine,
Sealed together, His Spirit and mine,
God's perfect love.
God is love, that’s kind,
God is love, that finds, you,
Perfect love, He’s love, God is love.

Ma, ma, ma.
I love my dear mother, our connection like no other.
Insights you share, mom, you always care.
My helper and my best friend, my mother dear.
My mother told me when I was just a boy,
Life’s a funny thing so always find the joy.
Voice in my ear year after year,
Honest reflection I can still hear,
Oh mother dear, oh mother dear.
Ma, ma, ma.
I love my dear mother, our connection like no other.
Insights you share, mom, you always care.
My helper and a best friend, my mother dear.
A rollercoaster ride, Queens, Valley Stream, and Novi.
Managing life a fine line, kids, school, work on time.
Oh, mother dear, you rock my life,
There to love me in good times or strife.
So let’s enjoy this time we all share,
My favorite lady is our ma, Momair,
Oh mother dear, oh mother dear.
Ma, ma, ma.
I love my dear mother, our connection like no other.
Insights you share, mom, you always care.
My helper and my best friend,
My mother dear, my mother dear, my mother dear.

Find Your Lane
04:01
|
|||
I gotta find my lane, lest it all be in vain.
Strange hazy visions, scream fear, torment, distress and pain.
You gotta find your lane, you gotta find your lane.
Not too long for the shadows now,
Smile at the happiness of being sad, so-so, sad.
A push-pull dance, dreadful, mind games, racing much too fast.
I gotta find my lane, lest it all be in vain.
Strange hazy visions, scream fear, torment, distress and pain.
You gotta find your lane, you gotta find your lane.
I could hear all of the lies, acting like a frightened child,
To believe, all those lies.
Allowed to see what a life apart, from God, like an emptied heart,
To be, a life apart.
A wrong turn, a blind alley pass,
Dark streets like gaping graves where bare ghosts prance, in a trance.
A panic play, sideways, a big crash, hit the wall today.
I gotta find my lane, lest it all be in vain.
Strange hazy visions, scream fear, torment, distress and pain.
You gotta find your lane, you gotta find your lane.
Check the map, a slow roll, pay the toll,
All good things from above, fuel your soul, fill your soul.
A set up chain, He shows out, I found my lane,
I found my lane,
I found my lane.

It Is Finished
03:45
|
|||
I've been redeemed, by the light of the Lamb.
Man’s dilemma since Adam lost time,
Spirit of fear slithered down a pine.
Spewing half-truths from the start,
Birth of sin, crept into his, heart,
Sinful nature, right into his, heart.
But God loves man, you gotta see,
Atoning sacrifice, for you and me.
He spoke a word, for victory,
Message of the cross, at Calvary.
It is finished, oh yeah, once and for all,
He picked us up again, after the fall.
It is finished, oh yeah, once and for all,
And that’s good news, we’re all called.
I've been redeemed, by the light of the Lamb.
A curse we’ve tried to overcome,
This misery we can’t outrun.
Hurtful pain, just too profound,
Heavy darkness creepin’ all around,
Dark black clouds hangin’ all around.
Yeah, God loves man, Glory be!
Eternal salvation, for you and me.
Spoke a word, called victory,
Message of the cross, at Calvary.
It is finished, oh yeah, once and for all,
His amazing grace, a gift for all.
It is finished, oh yeah, once and for all,
Invite him on in, you can’t go wrong.
I've been redeemed, by the light of the Lamb.
A perfect love, a finished work,
Sanctification, a real fine look.
The Spirit of truth, and the Spirit of light,
Blood of the Lamb, has paid the price,
So praise the Lord, and shout for joy!
