Beautiful Day

Oh Oh

Wake up and smile cause it's been a while
It's been like a whole day since I stopped
so you could hold me
This child awaits strong in the faith
Lord You are the refuge that I can't wait to get to
Cause I can't let a day go, can't let a day go by
Without thanking You for the joy that You bring to my life

[Chorus:]
And oh there's something 'bout the way
Your sun shines on my face
It's a love so true I can never get enough of You
This feeling can't be wrong I'm about to get my worship on
Take me away
It's a beautiful day,
It's a beautiful day

When trouble seems to rain on my dreams
It's not a big, not a big deal
Let it wash all the bugs off my windshield
Cause You're showing me in You I'm free
And You're still the refuge that I've just got to get to
So I won't let a day won't let a day go by
So put the drop-top down turn it up I'm ready to fly!

[Chorus:]
And oh there's something 'bout the way
your sun shines on my face
It's a love so true, I can never get enough of you
This feeling can't be wrong!
I'm about to get my worship on
Take me away!
It's a beautiful day.
It's a beautiful day.

I've got no need to worry
I've got no room for doubt
No matter what's coming at me, you'll always be the beautiful I sing about
There ain't no limitations to Your amazing grace!
Your amazing grace

And there's something 'bout the way
Your love shines on my face...
oh no I just could never get enough of You
This feeling can't be wrong,
I'm about get my worship on!
I'm gonna sing a brand new song!
Yeah, I'm about to get my worship on
take me away on this beautiful day

Just A Friend

I saw you in the hallway,
With all of your friends,
And everything around you moved in slow motion,
The girls think I'm crazy,
I kinda agree,
But it's hard to be cool enough when I feel you look at me,

And I can be immature when I'm lying on the floor,
Photoshopping us together like I'm all yours,
But you just learned my name,
And I think that's kinda wack,
Have you seen my sweet shoes and my new backpack yet,

Somebody tell me why this hurts so bad,
Why can't I find some like my dad, (I love you dad)

Why can't you just see what I see,
When you say I'm just a friend, you tell me I'm just friend,
I think I could make you happy,
But you say I'm just a friend, you tell me I'm just a friend,
So I'll be that,
Oh I'll be that,
I guess that's that,
But I don't wanna be just that,

You probably think I'm too young to feel this way,
To you I'm a crush that just won't go away,
So even if you move on and have a happy life,
I promise I will pray for you, cause I'll be doing fine,

See I can try to be mature like nothing's really wrong,
But you probably know I'm lying by the time you hear this song,
And I don't mind saying how I feel, as long as I stay true and keep it real,

Somebody tell me why love takes so long,
I think I'll just watch Reba with my mom,

Why can't you just see what I see,
When you say I'm just a friend, you tell me I'm just friend,
I think I could make you happy,
But you say I'm just a friend, you tell me I'm just a friend,
So I'll be that,
Oh I'll be that,
I guess that's that,
(I dunno baby sis)
But I don't wanna be
(But I 'ma tell you like this)

You ain't gotta rush love, girl, slow down,
When you meet him you gon' know, wanna know how?
He's gonna treat you right,
Make you the queen of life,
If he don't then I'm a take 'em out,
Psyche, all kidding aside God has the perfect,
One that was made for you, designed to worship,
God and He sees your beauty and true purpose,
So baby sis, trust the process, it's worth it,

So Father, I will place this in your hands,
(that's right)
You know me and all my crazy plans,
Humbly I surrender this to You, (all to you Lord)
So I'll keep dreaming,
You'll keep coming through,
(You keep coming through)

I know You see what I don't see,
(you see what I don't see)
So I'll be just a friend,
I'll be just a friend,
I know that I will be happy,
Even if I'm just a friend,
I'll be just a friend,
So yeah, that's that,
Oh that's that,
I'll be that,
I'm telling you,
I'll be just that..

Fighter

Seven bucks an hour
bills stacked on the counter
Got a baby on the way, don't have to feed
His pride is gettin' torn down
his confidence is worn out
This ain't the way he dreamed that it would be

But he won't ever ask why
'Cause he's made up his mind

He's a fighter, got that fire
when they thought he'd fade away
Throws a fist up, as he gets up
feelin' stronger everyday
When he gets down on his knees, he finds
the courage to believe
He's a fighter, he's a fighter
who inspires me

She's got no time for makeup
'Cause she's got three boys to wake up
Never thought she'd have to raise them on her own
And some days she feels like cryin'
But she's holdin' on, survivin'
on the love that makes their little house
a home

And she sees it in their eyes
All the reasons why, yeah

She's a fighter, got that fire
when you thought she'd fade away
Throws a fist up, as she gets up
Feelin' stronger everyday
When she gets down on her knees,
she finds the courage to believe
She's a fighter, she's a figher
Who inspires me, oohooo
She inspires me, yeah

She's been here before
And she's only eight years old
But she knows the name of every nurse she sees
And though she don't like the chemo
She waits it out, never losin' hope that
someday soon she'll be cancer-free

She's a fighter, got that fire
when they thought she'd fade away
Throws a fist up, keeps her head up
Feelin' stronger everyday
When she gets down on her knees,
she finds the courage to believe
She's a fighter, she's a figher
who inspires, yeah
He's a fighter, he's a fighter
who inspires me
He inspires me

You're my inspiration, my inspiration, yeah
You're my inspiration, my inspiration, yeah
You are my inspiration, my inspiration, yeah
You're my inspiration, my inspiration, yeah

Little Ol' Me

Well I was just a kid coming up those steps
All dressed up in my Sunday best
Learning to sing, learning to stand
Right in the front, holding mamma's hand
I still remember listening to my dad
Even if I didn't always understand
Cause deep in his heart, deep in his soul
There was a fire that I wanted to know
And those memories are still burning brightly
Oh Jesus how I love the way You're writing my life
However could it be, to have a part in your story
Bigger than what I can see, little old me, little old me
I may not know Your plan but I'm safe here in Your hands
Cause I know that You believe, in little old me, little old me
Walking through the halls on my way to class
Caught my reflection in the trophy glass
Who was this girl, trying to be
And who in the world is she trying to please
Suddenly ignited by a spark I hear my Savior's voice speaking right to my heart
"Don't give up now, and don't be afraid, you know who you are,
you got something to say"
And those memories are still burning brightly
Oh Jesus how I love the way You're writing my life
However could it be, to have a part in Your story
Bigger than what I can see, little old me, little old me
And I may not know Your plan
But I'm safe here in Your hands
Cause I know that You believe, in little old me, little old me
Turning the page, I'm up on stage
But I'm still a kid in a lot of ways
So many dreams, that are coming true
But Lord when they see me, I hope they see You
Nothing but You
(God I know, I know You got big plans for me)
However could it be, to have a part in Your story
Bigger than what I can see, little old me, little old me
And I may not know Your plan
But I'm safe here in Your hands
Cause I know that You believe, in little old me, little old me
(God I know, I know You got big plans for me)
Little old me, little old me

To Love You Back

From the first sunrise You knew my name,
You knew I‘d fail You over and over,
But still You loved me all the same,
You still love me anyway,

The way You don't give up on me,
You really got a hold on me,
You give me more than I deserve,

You've become my everything,
The only reason that I sing,
The beauty is You chose me first,

And I still can't believe,
That you've loved me for eternity,
And what's so marvelous to me,
Is that I finally get,
I finally get,
I get to love You (to love You back),
I get to love You,
I get to love You,
I finally get, I finally get,

I get to know You more and more,
And make every single day about You,
I wanna live like I can't afford,
To spend another second without You,

The way You don't give up on me,
You really got a hold on me,
You give me more than I deserve,

You've become my everything,
The only reason that I sing,
The beauty is You chose me first,

And I still can't believe,
That you've loved me for eternity,
And what's so marvelous to me,
Is that I finally get,
I finally get,
I get to love You (to love You back),
I get to love You,
I get to love You,
I finally get, I finally get,

To go back to the start,
Back when my heart first met You,
Oh, I heard You were good,
But this is more than I expected,

So I answer the call,
I give You my all,
And lay it at Your feet,
I can't praise You enough,
But I promise to give You my love,

Oh I can't believe,
That you've loved me for eternity,
And it's so beautiful to see,
That I finally get, I finally get,
To love You back,
To love You,(to love You back)
I get to love You, (with every part of me)
I get to love You,
Oh I get to love You, yeah,
I get to love you back,
Oh how I love you...

Do Life Big

I gotta slow down,
Stop for a second,
Take a look around,

And I gotta take time,
To hear that little voice inside,

Saying I came to give you life,
So spread your wings and fly,
I've got a secret to share,
You are enough to change the atmosphere,

So go and do life big,
I wanna do life big,

Break out them blue skies,
I can feet my heart beating inside,
Yeah, it's like a new day,
Woke up to hear You say,

I came to give you life,
So spread your wings and fly,
Now go and show no fear,
You are enough to change the atmosphere,

So go and do life big,
I wanna do life big,

Oh, I wanna love, wanna give every day I live,
I wanna do life big,
I wanna love, serve, and give every chance I get,
I wanna do life big,
Oh, I wanna love, wanna give every day I live,
I wanna do life big,
I wanna love, serve, and give every chance I get,
Oh I wanna do life big,

I wanna do life big,
I wanna do life big,

I wanna love like You,
I wanna give like You,
Oh, I wanna do life big,
I wanna serve like You,
Lay down my life like You,
I wanna do life big...

I wanna do...
I wanna do...
I wanna do life big.
I wanna do...
I wanna do...
I wanna do life big.

Every Bit Of Lovely

She's never been too popular
She's never been an outsider
She's about as average as they come
Her family they ain't too strange
They even get along most days
There's nothing too crazy going on
But sometimes she wonders
If she's good enough
Well girl if you're listening, listening
Turn it up You're lovely, every bit of lovely
Don't you know that you're God's original work of art, yes you are
So don't ever let them tell you that you're less than wonderful
Cause you're a one and only
You're every little bit, every little bit of lovely
Have you seen a lightning storm?
And have you heard the oceans roar?
Have you seen a newborn baby smile?
Well, the same God who made all that
He's the one who made your crazy laugh
And every tiny quirk that makes you, you
So if you wonder if you're good enough
I know you're listening, yeah you're listening, so turn it up
You're lovely, every bit of lovely
Don't you know that you're God's original work of art, yes you are
So don't ever let them tell you that you're less than wonderful
Cause you're a one and only
You're every little bit, every little bit of lovely
This goes out to all my lovely girls
Y'all be shining like diamonds all around the world
From the west coast over to the east side
Up north to the dirty south where I reside
Them magazines telling you who to be
Rocking them too tight tees, please, There's no need
To be so revealing, no matter what you're feeling
It's the beauty inside that's gonna last You're lovely, every bit of lovely
Don't you know that you're God's original work of art, yes you are
So don't ever let them tell you that you're less than wonderful
Cause you're a one and only
Yeah, You're every little bit, every little bit of lovely
So don't ever let them tell you that you're less than wonderful
You're a one and only
Yeah you're every little bit, every little bit
Don't you know it girl, don't you hear me girl, don't you see it girl
Don't you know it girl, don't you hear me girl, don't you see it girl

White Boots

Little girl dreams are bigger than they seem
I'm thinking about my future in my daily routine
Blue house and a picket fence
That's the kind of innocence that makes me wanna wait
Until my wedding day Standing face to face with the love I know is true
I'll promise him forever from the day we say, "I do"
I've got my white boots
My white dress
And baby, I ain't getting them dusty
All I need you to bring
Are the rings
And I know in time I'll be ready
Cause I've been waiting, waiting, waiting,
Waiting, waiting, waiting on you
In my white boots Going on three years with the love of my life
Everything about him made the waiting worth while
It wasn't always easy but I listened for the truth
So don't give up true love is gonna find you
You'll be standing face to face with a love you know is true.
I'll promise him forever from the day we say, "I do" I've got my white boots
My white dress
And baby, I ain't getting them dusty
All I need you to bring
Are the rings
And I know in time I'll be ready
Cause I've been waiting, waiting, waiting,
Waiting, waiting, waiting on you
In my white boots So get your white tux
Your new shoes
And baby don't go getting em dusty I've got my white boots
My white dress
And baby, I ain't getting them dusty
All I need you to bring
Are the rings
And I know in time I'll be ready
Cause I've been waiting, waiting, waiting,
Waiting, waiting, waiting,
I've been waiting, waiting, waiting,
Waiting, waiting, waiting on you
In my white boots

The Waiting

What will it look like?
What will it be like?
When my world turns out like You planned
When will I get there?
Feels like I'm nowhere
My dreams are like dust in my hand
But I know This is the waiting
I anxiously wait
As I hold on to love that won't ever let go
And in these times when my patience is tested
Won't you remind me that I'm not alone
Here in the waiting
The waiting
All of the questions, secret confessions
Lord You'll make sense of it all
And I know You'll show up
So I'm letting go of these these thoughts that are taking control
This is the waiting
I anxiously wait
As I hold on to love that won't ever let go
And in these times when my patience is tested
Won't you remind me that I'm not alone
Here in the waiting
The waiting Oh, and I know
I know this is the waiting
And in these times when my patience is tested
You are the love that will never let go
Here in the waiting
The waiting
So I'll be here waiting
Believing you'll never let go

My First Love

Once upon a time not long ago,
You came a'knocking at my heart's door,
Daddy held my hand as he fumbled through the intro,
Told me that You'd love me and You'd never let me go,

Now here we are,
Yeah we've come so far,
And You're all I ever need, all I ever need, always gonna be,

My first love,
Everything about You is love,
Flowing over more than enough,
And I love You, and I love You,
You're my first love,
Everything about You is so true,
I just wanna tell You, wanna tell You,
I'll be forever Yours,
My first love,

I wanna talk about you like all the time,
I wanna tell the whole world that You're mine,
Write it on the skyline,
Paint it like graffiti,
They can label me whatever, just as long as You believe me,

And You are my song, yeah,
You make me sing, I'll sing, I'll sing,

You're my first love,
Everything about You is love,
Flowing over more than enough,
And I love You, and I love You,
You're my first love,
Everything about You is so true,
And I just wanna tell You, wanna tell You,
I'll be forever Yours, yeah,

Everywhere I go, everywhere I sing, everyone I meet,
When they ask me who is this love I'm singing to,
I'll say it's you,
So won't you take my voice,
Take my hands and my feet, Father use this heart,
For whatever You need,
Cause You will always be
My first love,

You're my first love,
Everything about You is love,
Flowing over more than enough,
And I love You, and I love You,
You're my first love,
Everything about You is so true,
Lord wanna tell You, wanna tell You,
I'll be forever Yours,
My first love,

(I wanna talk about you like all the time,
I wanna tell the whole world that You're mine,
Write it on the skyline,
Paint it like graffiti,
They can label me whatever, just as long as You believe me)

Always You

This world can be so fascinating
Tying hard to fill the craving
Every day, it's only imitating You
So I stand up, give an ovation
A big applause to my creator
Every day, I'll be imitating You
And they try with all their might,
but they won't outshine Your light
No, no they ain't You
If they try to say so, it ain't true
Nobody loves me the way You do
Cause you're just You, always You
No, no they ain't You
It's like You got me over the moon
Nobody loves me the way You do
Cause You're just You, yeah
Always You Spend some time just reminiscing
All the way back to the very beginning
Just a young girl, but I was still listening to You
Oh my mom and dad were so amazing
I would just cry, and no I'm not crazy
And they taught me they could never fill Your shoes
Now I might put up a fight, but I'm never losing sight
Cause no, no they ain't You
If they try to say so, it ain't true
Nobody loves me the way You do
Cause You're just You, always You
No, no they ain't You
It's like You got me over the moon
Nobody loves me the way You do
Cause You're just You, yeah
Always You It's like You make my heart skip a beat
I don't know who I would be
If You didn't come rescue me
Oh I, I fell so in love
You, You are more than enough for me
They could never take Your place
Cause no, no they ain't You
If they try to say so, it ain't true
Nobody loves me the way You do
Cause You're just You, always You
No, no they ain't You
It's like You got me over the moon
Nobody loves me the way You do
Cause You're just You
Thanks for being You
It's gotta be You
You're always You
So wonderful
Ain't nobody like You

Ready To Fly (Avery's Song)

There's a feather in my hair
And a wing around my neck
I'm ready to fly away
There's a feather in my hair
And a wing around my neck
I'm ready to fly away
And I'll gather wishes from all of my friends
Hugs and kisses from my mom and my dad
There's a feather in my hair
And a wing around my neck
I'm ready to fly away
There's an open sky above my head
That no one else sees
And it's calling, it's calling for me
It's bright and the lights and the kites all get stuck
It's brighter than anything anyone's seen
And I've got the wishes from the ground below
Hugs and kisses from all that I know
There's an open sky above my head
That no one else sees
And it's calling for me The score of the night says
La-de-dah-de-dah-dah-dah-dah
But the score of my life says
Lah-de-dah-de-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah-oh
I see cards and such of written love all there for me
To leave in just a few weeks
They will sit and wait to be weight
To be sent away, away, away
And I've got the wishes from the letters they hold
Hugs and kisses from the ones who wrote them
There's a feather in my hair
And a wing around my neck
I'm ready to fly away
I'm ready to fly away
