When We Awake
Lyrics to the songs from the CD
All Songs Copyright 2001 by Johnny Meadows
When my time comes
To say good-bye
When my time comes
To
cross the great divide
No don't you cry
'Cause I'll be safe,
safe and secure
In my Father's arms
My Father's arms, arms of love
They are so big and strong
My
Father's arms, arms of mercy
Soon they'll carry me home
So when
I die, oh don't you cry
No don't you worry over me
'Cause I'll
be safe, safe and secure
In my Father's arms
One day very soon
Strange hands will dress me up
And friends
will gather to look
Down on me
But I'll be gone
An empty
shell is all they'll see
'Cause I'll be safe, safe and secure
In
my Father's arms
Spending time with you on a lazy afternoon
There's nothing in
the whole wide world
I'd rather do
So let's make some plans
Set
the time and date
Lets's hurry sweet lady
'Cause I just can't
wait
For another chance
To spend some time together
Spending time with you
That's all I wanna do
Spending time
with you
Thouse are the moments I look forward to
We share our
little secrets
Trade kisses and hugs
That's just a few of the
things we're guilty of
So hurry 'cause I just can't wait for that
moment
When I'll be spending time with you
Sometimes we lie in a field of green
And watch the clouds roll
by
Sometimes we walk down a sandy beach
Under the starry
skies
It doesn't matter where we are
Or what we do
I'm as
happy as can be
As long as I'm with you
Yeah I really love
it
When I'm spending time with you
She planted her earthly garden
Each seed she sowed with
care
And early every morning
You would find her there
Sowing
seeds of kindness
Sowing seeds of love
She was the sweetest
gentle lady
That I had ever known
From a lifetime of memories
I now recall
A woman we called
Grandma
A woman who touched us all
We were blessed with an angel in our lives
She was a special
gift from heaven above
She never made the headlines
She never
had worldly fame
But anyone who ever met her
Would ever be the
same
She was an angel in our lifetime
We're so thankful that
she came
So often we took for granted
This special one we had
The
moments that we shared together
We thought they'd never end
Now
she's planting her heavenly garden
With Grandpa by her
side
Sometimes I can see her there
Walking through my mind
I will always see her standing there
Standing in her garden,
the woman who touched us all
The day's barely started and it's happening again
Sweet
thoughts of her running through my head
Sweet thoughts of her on
my mind
Sweet thoughts of her all the time
Can't stop thinking about her
Wouldn't if I could
'Cause
when I think of her
I feel so good
Guess you could say I'm a
victim of love
I love the girl with the auburn hair
She's so soft and pretty,
her skin's so fair
And everyday I'm gonna show her just how much I
care
When she needs me I'll be there
'Cause I made a promise
In
a small town church
I told her forever
For better or worse
And
she can count on me
The breath in his body
was slipping away
the wounds in his
hands and feet
freely shed his blood that day
His thorn pierced
brow
in my mind I see it now
this degree of love one cannot
understand
why he would choose to suffer so much`
for weak and
sinful man
He gave his life for me
the solders nailed him to a tree
there
he died in agony
but on the third day
He arose again, sweet
victory
over death and pain
now with a grateful heart I sing
He
gave His life for me
Jesus. He was innocent
guilty was I
it should have been me
that day
that hung on the cross and died
the angels He could
have called that day
they stood silently by
as the life in His
precious body began to fade
He cried, 'it is finished,' now the
sacrifice has been made
He gave his life for me
and I'll see him face to face some
day
but until then
with a grateful heart I sing
He gave His
life
He gave His life, for me
All alone, with my inner pain
This life I've been living makes
me cry in shame
Drifted so far since you first saved me
Back
with you, that's where I want to be
Once again, I need your grace
To cover me, from head to
feet
Saturate my soul with you healing touch
Fill all of me,
with your love
Touch me Jesus with you healing hands
Wash away the stains from
this guilty man
Forgive me Lord, for I have sinned
I need you,
yes I need you to restore me again
Touch me, touch me, touch me
once again
Can't understand, why you loved me so
The way I treated you it
was oh so wrong
Time and time again my heart was untrue
But
still you loved me, like you always do
Tired of running and playing games
Took your love for granted,
now it's time to change
I'm a broken man, on my knees
I'm
coming to you like a beggar
can you hear my plea
I really like your fingers running through my hair
I really
like the passionate kisses we share
I like to sleep in your arms
every night
I like to wake beside you in the morning light
But the one thing, the one thing I like best
The one thing I
like above the rest
Is when we're together with the music playing
low
Together at midnight, dancing by the radio
Dancing at midnight, with the radio playing low
Dancing at
midnight, two bodies moving slow
That's when I look into your
eyes
While the light of the moon spills across your face
That's
when you hold me so tight
I can feel you breathing
I really like your smile, it drives me crazy
I really like the
fragrance of your skin
Like to hear you say I want you baby
And
when you say you love me
my head starts spinning around
Amy each day with you
Gets better and better
And Amy I'm so
happy
When we're together
It's so easy baby, it's so
right
Walking through this life
With someone as wonderful, as
wonderful as you
And no matter what comes our way
My desire for
you will never fade
Oh Amy after all these years, I'm still in
love with you
Amy (my sweet Amy) Always gonna love ya
Amy (my sweet Amy)
Always thinking of ya
Amy (my sweet Amy) Beside you I will
stand
Amy (my sweet Amy) I'll always be your man
Till death do
us part
I'll give you all my heart
Yeah, Amy, I'll always be,
always be in love with you
Amy where you are
That's where I want to be
And close to
your heart
That's where I wanna stay
It's so good baby it's
outta sight
Sharing everyday and night
With someone as
beautiful, as beautiful as you
Till death do us part
I'll give
you all my heart
Be your one and only
As the days turn into
years
Share your laughter, share your tears
Share your sorrows,
joys, and fears
Yeah Amy, I'll always be, always be in love with
you
Always be, always be in love with you
I was cold and all alone the day he found me
All the others
didn't care, they passed me by
Blind since birth, he touched my
eyes and healed them
And now my friend, Praise God I can see
Jesus
Christ now lives inside of me
I asked him in my heart and now I'm
free!
Freedom... I wanna get up on a mountain top, I wanna shout sweet
victory
Freedom... Want to spread the news across the land, about
the man who shed his blood for on Calvary
Freedom... Gonna live
for him 'till the day I die, then I'll live with him for eternity
Today I'm headed in a new direction
All because he loved a
sinner such as I
Whenever I get weak and I get weary
He's
always there standing by my side
He took a sin sick soul and he
made it whole
Now everywhere I go I will proclaim
Just wanna be, comitted to the one who is comitted to me
Just
wanna be, a friend to the one who is my best friend
Just wanna be
true to the one who trusted her heart to me
Just wanna give all my
love to the one who's in love
The one who's in love with me
There's a special person I'm spending all my time with
She's
the only one for me
We were brought together by our Father in
heaven
And nothing's gonna tear us apart
Though we have our
problems
Some good days and some bad ones
That's okay you
see
'Cause I really love her, not looking for another
And I
know just what I wanna be
Yes I really love her, always thinking of her
Since the day we
said I do
And I'm giving all of me
To be the man I need to be
I
sure wanna treat her right
Anytime, anywhere
When she needs
tender care
She always knows I'll be there
Totally committed, not whenever or maybe
That's what I'm
talking about
You said that you loved me, but I could never tell
Your lips
pledged your heart to me
Yes you spoke the words so well
The
promises you made, when you called my name in prayer
They seemed
to have vanished, like a faded memory
Did you think it was just a
game, the sacrifice I made
Did you think I wouldn't notice
When
you turned and walked away
Oh my child, come closer now
So many times you left me, for a
new love that you found
Though I longed to hear you, call my
name
I never heard a sound
For years I waited patiently as each
new love let you down
The security that they offered, was just an
empty vow
So while there is time, give all you heart to me
You've
known me from a distance
Come closer now
If your eyes could only see, through the darkness that
surrounds
If your ears would only listen to the words I'm speaking
now
I'm still waiting, with my arms open wide
Once again will
you reject me, will you turn my love aside
No matter how you
choose, no matter what you say
I still would have died for you
My
love will never change
Sometime late last night
I woke to find her crying
As her
tears fell on my pillow
She said these words to me
Will you
still love me
When I am older
Will you be faithful
When my
hair turns to grey
Will you bring me flowers
When my youth and
beauty fade away
I said, as long as my heart beats
I will be in
love with you
And all my love
I'm saving just for you
Saving all my love for one girl
And that one girl is you
All
my desire, all my passion
I'll be saving for you too
I'll be
your best friend for a lifetime
Forever I'll be true
I'm saving
all my love for one girl
And that one girl is you
Sometime late last night
I gently brushed her tears away
Held
her in my arms
Told her not to be afraid
I said, yes I will
love you
When you are older
I will be faithful
When you hair
turns to grey
I'll bring you pretty flowers
When youth and
beauty fade away
Cause as long as my heart beats
I will be in
love with you
And all my love
I'm saving just for you
