Questions running all around you Don't know what you want to do Is He fact or is He fiction? You've heard so many stories, Don't know what to do Chorus: He changed my life, Set me free, Gave me what I really needed Gave me what I really wanted Took away those chains I thought I needed so bad All those things won't make you happy, Carnal things can't satisfy A hungry soul that needs a feeding A little child that needs to cry [Repeat chorus] Behold, He stands at the door and knocks; If any man should hear His voice And dare to open the door, He will come into him [Repeat chorus]

CHORUS: God gives the very best to those who leave the choices up to Him God gives the very best to those who leave the choices up to Him So, put that thing down! Get your hands off those goodies— God gives the very best to those who leave the choices up to Him Walking down the straight and narrow, goodies on both sides Being tempted with the riches Blacking out the light that’s in your eyes Don’t act so surprised, just remember: CHORUS: God gives the very best to those who leave the choices up to Him God gives the very best to those who leave the choices up to Him So, put that thing down! Get your hands off those goodies— God gives the very best to those who leave the choices up to Him God loves to give to us more than we do to receive Forget those things you think you want: God’s got something better up His sleeve Trust, obey, believe, and remember: ½ CHORUS: God gives the very best to those who leave the choices up to Him God gives the very best to those who leave the choices up to Him Nothing really matters but the Man who says to me “If I will that all shall tarry ‘til I come-- “What is that to thee? “You just follow Me, and remember:” CHORUS: God gives the very best to those who leave the choices up to Him God gives the very best to those who leave the choices up to Him So, put that thing down! Get your hands off those goodies— God gives the very best to those who leave the choices up to Him God gives the very best to those who leave the choices up to Him God gives the very best to those who leave the choices up to Him

Why are some people born blind? Is it just to help me appreciate my eyes? That seems crazy, Lord, oh so crazy, Lord But I know that You know what You’re doing It’s all part of Your Plan   Why’s the world so full of hate? Is it just to teach me hunger for Your love? That seems crazy, Lord, oh so crazy, Lord But I know that You know what You’re doing It’s all part of Your Plan   Life is a teacher, teaching us how To laugh, to live, to love—and to cry We’ll be much better seeing this all, Than living our lives with the blind   Life is a mother raising a son Teaching him how to be Don’t you grow bitter, it’s all in His plan Would you rather not know her at all?   Life is a lover, caressing at times At other times bringing such pain You’ve just got to love her though oft times she’s cruel As you love her, she’ll love you the same   Life is a question, asking us now “Which way are you gonna choose? “Will it be Jesus, and love evermore, Or going the way of all fools?”

I read your letter, I really love you It sure was good to hear from you again Things are great here tho’ I really miss you Each day my life seems to begin again CHORUS: And I‘d love to be there with you to tell you of my joy I’d (love to be there with you to show you How this little boy’s been changed. I found the answer, I found the thing that You watched me search for for so long I was so restless, content with nothing Tho’ things seemed good to all, to me they all seemed wrong CHORUS: And I‘d love to be there with you to tell you of my joy I’d (love to be there with you to show you How this little boy’s been changed. I want to give this to those who’ll take it A love like this is truly meant for all They all need Jesus, but who will give it? Is there a man out there to answer to the call CHORUS: I’d love to see you here right now To tell you of my joy I’d love to see you here right now To show you how this little boy’s being changed

about

At the time of the launching of this album, I am celebrating my Golden Anniversary with Jesus. It's now been 50 years of close relationship with Him--mostly me learning about Him and His ways, and Him patiently teaching and mentoring me--or more accurately as the Bible calls it, TRANSFORMING me.

Near the beginning of 1972 I made the decision to 'follow,' which was the start of a love relationship that was to grow deeper, and a life that was to be turned 'right-side up' as we progressed down (or up) the path He was choosing.

Those first years could only be described as my 'honeymoon years': getting to know Him, what He was like, and how He thought; learning to love Him more and more, and ultimately leaving my independence and willfulness behind as He led me into an amazing new life I couldn't have imagined.—He took me beyond my wildest dreams, on to the secret desires of my heart!

The songs on this album were written in our first few years together, so there's a simplicity and innocence of understanding and appreciation of Him and all He represented in most of the lyrics. This will be an ongoing project over the next few months, for a total of 10-12 songs hopefully.

I hope these songs will be enjoyable and relatable, as you either look back on YOUR first days together, or as you embark on your personal journey alongside this amazing Being Who gave His life for us all…and caused us to "love Him because He first loved us."
