Picture Perfect by Michael W. Smith / Wayne Kirkpatrick Pull all your hair up Dab on the make-up Trying hard to look so pristine Like a face in a magazine Those fancy dressers and Media pressure Have got you feeling so plain and small If you don't look like a paper doll In a world where the goal is To be like the Joneses It's guaranteed to drive you wild Keeping up with the latest style Gaze in the mirror You want the glamour And the grace of a movie star But I like you the way you are You are the only one I'm dreaming of 'Cause baby don't you know that I love Chorus: You, Girl You don't have to be picture perfect To be in my world Girl You don't have to be picture perfect To fit the frame You're tender, you're tactful Girl, you're a natural You possess a heart that's true That's what I like about you One in a million Yea, that's a given There's a beauty inside of you And it show on the outside too No competition, you're way in the lead And baby, don't you know that I need... Chorus

Love One Another by Michael W. Smith / Wayne Kirkpatrick I had a dream that I was speaking With a prophet from the land of wise In a crowd of people from the land of troubled hearts I said "We've come here for answers- A solution to our world's demise" He said the journey would be long But here's where you start Chorus: Love one another Love one another Work it in to work it out There could never be enough Love one another Love one another 'Cause you know without a doubt You can change your world with love It was a simple conclusion But I thought that it was rather profound Just a fundamental law that we should all live by I took it in to tomorrow Yea, I walked the earth but I never found Any corner of the world Where this did not apply Chorus Bridge: And looking out I saw no method to the madness there Like in a vision from the Isle of Patmos, I was scared It was a revelation Love is getting rare The people of the land united And in my dream we all agreed That we should start again And this would be our creed... Chorus

I Will Be Here for You by Michael W. Smith / Diane Warren When you feel the sunlight Fade into the cold night Don't know where to turn I don't know where to turn And all the dreams you're dreaming Seem to lose their meaning Let me in your world Baby, let me in your world All you need is someone you can hold Don't be sad, you're not alone Chorus: I will be here for you Somewhere in the night Somewhere in the night I'll shine a light for you Somewhere in the night I'll be standing by I will be here for you In this world of strangers Of cold and friendly faces Someone you can trust Oh there's someone you can trust I will be your shelter I'll give you my shoulder Just reach out for my love Reach out for my love Call my name and my heart will hear I will be there, there's nothing to fear Chorus

Color Blind by Michael W. Smith / Wayne Kirkpatrick There's not a world of difference Out in the world tonight Between this world of people Red, Yellow, Black and White But instead of riding a rainbow of love We still are fighting with prejudice gloves Of anger With something to claim But nothing to gain so Chorus: Why can't we be color blind You know we should Be living together And we'd find a reason and rhyme I know we would 'Cause we could see better If we could be color blind Somebody's just assuming He's up to nothing good 'Cause he's not like the others There goes the neighborhood What kind of world are we living in Whe we judge a man by the tone of his skin It's crazy 'Cause he has a heart Like you have a heart and Chorus Bridge: It'd be so fine To be color blind To open our eyes And see color blind I know this world would be a better place The only race would be the human race All of those barriers would be erased Why can't we be color blind Chorus

Somewhere Somehow by Michael W. Smith / David Foster / Wayne Kirkpatrick / Amy Grant Standing in our silence I hear my heart beating And if only I could choose I'd stay here with you But hold me 'til the train is leaving Somewhere down the line After you're gone from sight Our love will be the same And, whispering your name, I'll cling to you with all my might Let me dream of you But it's true And wake me up when this is over Love will be there when this is over and Chorus: Somewhere far beyond today I will find a way to find you And somehow thru the lonely nights I will leave a light in the dark Let it lead you to my heart There's a love inside us Deep down inside That goes without saying Don't say a word But I'll tell you just the same And that love will fan the flame And that flame will warm the heart that's waiting You are mine and I'll wait for you my love You are mine it may take some time Even if it takes a lifetime Tell me you'll wait Chorus Bridge: And somewhere alone I will be praying you home I know that somehow our love Our love will lead me to your arms Chorus

Cross of Gold by Michael W. Smith / Wayne Kirkpatrick Where do you stand What is your statement What is it you're trying to say What's in your hand What's in your basement What's in the cards you don't play Are you holding the key Or are you intending To pick the lock of heaven's gate It's confusing to me The message you're sending And I don't know if I can relate Chorus: What's you line Tell me why you wear your cross of gold State of mind Or does it find a way into your soul Is it a flame Is it a passion A symbol of love living in you Or is it a game Religion in fashion Some kind of pahse you're going thru We all travel the extremes From cellar to rafter Looking for a place in the sun So I'm trying to see What you're headed after But I don't know where you're coming from Chorus Bridge: (spoken) For some it's simply something to wear around your neck Just a chain Jewelry Is it decoration? Is it an icon Or proclomation? An icon of what? What? For some it's simply something to wear around your neck Just a chain It means a lot more than that to me Chorus

Out of This World by Michael W. Smith / Deborah D. Smith / Amy Grant / Beverly Darnall Take stock of your life What's wrong and what's right Empty pockets, got no green Don't you know sunshine is free What breaks have you had Some good and some bad Wanna go but got no car Dreaming dreams can take you far Chorus: You will find that life's worth living In this world, it's out of this world With a little love and a little giving In this world, it's out of this world Look ot the future Who's in the picture Say your love life's just a dream Still you've got a friend in me Today, tomorrow Laughter and sorrow Gonna be some lows and highs Might as well enjoy the ride Chorus

Somebody Love Me by Michael W. Smith / Wayne Kirkpatrick Counting every moment Biding all my time Standing out here on my own Searching for that someone To heal this heart of mine And keep me from being alone But when will it be And how will I know I don't want to wait here forever Chorus: Somebody love me Come and carry me away Somebody need me To be the blue in their grey Somebody want me The way I've always dreamed it could be Won't somebody love me, love me I'm waiting for somebody To dance across the floor Sweeping me off of my feet I'm looking for the right one To open up that door And offer me a tender retreat It's like wanting to sing But needing a song When will I hear the music playing Chorus

Give it Away by Michael W. Smith / Wayne Kirkpatrick / Amy Grant She asked him for forever And a promise that would last He said, "Babe, you know I love you But I can't commit to that" She said "Love isn't love 'Til you give it away" A father lived in silence Saw his son become a man There was a distance felt between them 'Cause he could not understand That love isn't love 'Til you give it away You gotta give it away Chorus: As we live Moving side by side May we learn to give Learn to sacrifice We can entertain compassion For a world in need of care But the road of good intentions Doesn't lead to anywhere 'Cause love isn't love 'Til you give it away You gotta give it away Chorus Bridge: Love is like a river Flowing down from the giver of life We drink from the water And our thirst is no longer denied You gotta give it away Chorus There was a man who walked on water He came to set the people free He was the ultimate example Of what love can truly be 'Cause his love was his life And he gave it away You gotta give it away Choru

I Wanna Tell the World by Michael W. Smith / Mark Heimermann / Toby McKeehan I saw you And you saw me And I didn't even know your name Just one look That was all it took And I knew I'd never be the same If walkin' on air compares to what I feel Then how can I keep it sealed when... Chorus: I wanna tell the world If the smile on my face Hasn't given me away already I wanna tell the world There ain't no way to hide it Your love has got me flyin' high Since the day That you looked my way I knew we were meant to be together Now I thank the Lord For a love like yours 'Cause I know it's gonna last forever It's hard to believe my dreams have all come true And I'm so inlove with you that... Chorus Bridge: I just want the world to know Love has got me good to go [I wanna tell the world, I wanna tell the world] I have got to get it out She is all I think about [I wanna tell the world, I wanna tell the world] It's something' that I need to say Love has overtaken me Chorus

Friends Words:Deborah D. Smith Music: Michael W. Smith Packing up the dreams God planted In the fertile soil of you Can't believe the hopes He's granted Means a chapter in your life is through But we'll keep you close as always It won't even seem you've gone 'Cause our hearts in big and small ways Will keep the love that keeps us strong Chorus: And friends are friends forever If the Lord's the Lord of them And a friend will not say "never" 'Cause the welcome will not end Though it's hard to let you go In the Father's hands we know That a lifetime's not too long to live as friends. With the faith and love God's given Springing from the hope we know We will pray the joy you'll live in Is the strength that now you show But we'll keep you close as always It won't even seem you've gone 'Cause our hearts in big and small ways Will keep the love that keeps us strong Chorus
