SHOW ME
Written by April Blackman

I try not to worry / And place all my cares on You / And just love You / And do everything that You told me told me to / But somehow / It's just not working out that way / And I know that I'm / Keeping me back everyday. CHORUS: Show me / Teach me / Love me / Shield me / Forgive me / Bear with me / Bear with me / Bear with me. I know I can talk to You / And You'll listen to my plea / But I feel so ashamed at times / When I think of the things I've done to Thee / I guess that's why / I'm in such distance from Your love / Please help me to overcome / These things that I speak of / (Chorus) Show me / Teach me / Love me / Shield me / Show me / Teach me / Love me / Shield me.

BLUE
Written by Isaac Blackman

CHORUS: I am blue / Blue for you / I am blue / Blue for you / I am blue / Blue for you / Blue / Just blue for you. VERSE I: 'Cause there's no sunshine when you're gone / There's no sunshine when you're gone / And it always seems so long / It always seems too long. I didn't understand the meaning of loneliness / I didn't understand what it was to be alone / I didn't understand what it was to love someone / I didn't understand--but now I comprehend / I didn't understand--but now I comprehend / I am blue / Blue for you / Blue / Just blue for you. I never knew how much you meant to me / When you went away, I missed you so dearly / I never knew how much you meant to me / Your eyes, your smile, more than that your soul / Your heart and your mind / (Chorus) / (Verse I). I never knew how much you meant to me / I have found someone who completes me / I never knew how much you meant to me / Even when your gone for a minute it's eternity / Your touch is such a comfort for me / And your voice is a sweet melody / Your words yes they sooth like honey / And your heart is connected to me / (Chorus) / (Verse I).

LIFE
Written by April BLackman

Life / It's so strange / It's full of fun and games / Then sorrow and pain / It's empty, yet so full / It feels so warm and then so cold / Will I ever understand the meaning of life? Oooh life / I just don't know / The pain and despair / It sometimes feels so unfair / The friends you've cherished / they've turned so cold / It seems like they've all traveled home to their own world / Will I ever understand the meaning of life? As the day passes by life gets more painful to bear / There are few around you who really care / You look side to side for a shoulder to cry / And everyone just passes you by. Oooh life / Oh how I long to see / When I will live my life in peace and harmony / When pain and sorrow will be no more / And loneliness will walk out the door / Maybe then I will understand the meaning of life / I really hope that I understand the meaning of life.

YOU'RE NOT ALONE
Written by Avion Blackman Mohr and Mark Mohr

Strolling the streets all alone on the wrong side of town / Combing the beach on your own there's no one else around / Lost in the dark by yourself not a sight nor a sound / Stranded at sea without help and you fear you may drown. CHORUS: You're not alone / I'm here with you / Guiding you on / All you go through / I'll never leave you / You know I love you / You're not alone / You know I care for you / Just trust in me / You're not alone / I'm here with you / I'll never leave / Nor forsake you / You know I love you / You're not alone / You know I care for you / You're not alone / I'll never leave you / You're not alone / I'll be right there for you / Just trust in me / La la, la la la / Oh ohh… Lost in a crowd and anxieties getting you down / First day of school with no friends and your in a new town / On the side of the road engine troubles your car's broken down / Left brokenhearted (with) no one to console you around / (Chorus) / (Breakdown) / (2nd half of Chorus).

YOU'LL RETURN
Written by Garfield Blackman

When Life has put you down / And there's no one around / Your loved one's (are) out of sight / Your day has turned to night / And your losing / Your losing the fight / When there's no where to turn / None to call your own / Your heart and spirit (are) broken / And there's no one to lean on / Illusion, frustration / All hope is gone. Pre-Chorus: If you look up you would see / Me waiting patiently / To welcome you to me / On your lips I'll put a song / I'll forgive all your wrongs / Again you will be strong / CHORUS: You'll return where you belong / You'll return where you belong / You'll return where you belong / You'll return / You'll return where you belong. With arms open-wide / I'll welcome you inside / Fill your heart with gladness / (And) remove all your sadness / Fulfill your dreams of happiness / Your life is my concern / (I'm) so glad you have returned / To your rightful domain / To love and joy no pain / Never will you wander ever again / (Pre-Chorus) / (Chorus 2X).

I'M SORRY
Written by April Blackman

I'm sorry oh my Lord / For what I've done to You / (I) don't deserve to be loved anymore / (I) don't deserve to be loved by You / I did wrong so many times / In my heart, in my mind / (I) didn't do what (I) was told to do / I was never truthful to you. But forgive me my sweet Lord / Accept my apologies / Just one more chance that's what I'm asking for / Oh please open the door and let me in / And we'll start a new beginning of love / I'm sorry / I'm sorry. For we both know that I was wrong from the start / It's I who broke us apart / So now I'm asking You to have mercy on me /Accept my apology / Yes now I'm asking You to have mercy on me / 'Cause I'm sorry / I'm sorry. I never wanted to hurt You / But then I realized what I did / I've hurt You so badly / Forgive me / Please forgive me / With all my heart I want to say to You / That I'm sorry / I'm sorry / I'm sorry / I'm sorry / So sorry / Oh my Lord.

HEAVEN ABOVE

Oh Lord I pray / That You would strengthen me each day / Teach me the things that I ought to do / 'Cause I want to be with You. CHORUS: And it's Heaven above / That's where I want to be / Heaven above so I can live eternally / He prepared a place / So that I can be free / I can be free / I can be free. I love You because You have always heard my voice / And the times when I can't see / You would always say to me / You would say "Fear not 'cause I'll always be with thee. And in thy pains you can always call on me and I'll give you strength to fight the enemy, the enemy, the enemy" / (Chorus).
