They say love is cruel
They say love is rather fragile
But I've found in You
A love of another kind.

They say love brings hurt
I say love brings healing
Understanding first
It's a love of another kind.

(Bridge)
The love I know
Is a love so few discover
They need to know
Jesus' love is like no other.

They save love won't last
I say love is neverending
Cause in You I have
A love of another kind.

They would change their tune
They would add another measure
If they only knew
This love of another kind.

(Repeat Bridge)
(Repeat Verses)

Love of another kind
The love of another kind
The love of another kind
The love of another, the love of another kind.

Give me love
This is love (this is love)
Another kind, another kind of love.

This is love (this is love)
You need another kind of love
Another kind, another kind of love.
Another kind of love
This is love
Give me love
Another kind, another kind of love.

You tell me your friends are distant,
You tell me your man's untrue,
You tell me that you've been walked on,
And how you feel abused.

So you stand here an angry young woman,
Taking all the pain to heart.
I hear you saying that you want to see changes,
But you don't know how to start.

Chorus:
Love will find a way, (How do you know?)
Love will find a way, (How can you see?)
I know it's hard to see the past and still believe
Love is gonna find a way.
I know that
Love will find a way, (A way to go.)
Love can make a way, (Only love can know.)
Leave behind the doubt;
Love's the only out;
Love will surely find a way.

I know this life is a strange thing.
I can't answer all the why's.
Tragedy always finds me,
Taken again by surprise.

I could stand here an angry young woman,
Taking all the pain to heart.
But I know that love can bring changes,
And so we've got to move on.

(Repeat Chorus)

If our God His Son not sparing
Came to rescue you,
Is there any circumstance
That He can't see you through?

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

. . .



I was wasting time
Oh so sure to find somebody
Who'll never go
How could I know
None I'd found was true
None could be but you
The only one love divine
My heart, my mind are yours

Chorus:
Everywhere I go
I see your face through the crowd
Everywhere I go
I hear your voice clear and loud
Everywhere I go
You are the light that I seek
Everywhere I go
You have found me

Where could my heart go
Where you wouldn't know to find me?
Far, far from here
Still you are near to me

(Repeat Chorus)

I have seen you in the evening
In the morning light you hold me
Closer than the air around me
You surround me always

Everywhere I go
I see your face through the crowd
I hear your voice clear and loud
You are the light that I seek
You have found me

(Repeat Chorus Three Times)

. . .



You were pretty crazy,
Back when we fell in love.
Wanting to be everything,
That I would be proud of.
Hours we spent dreaming,
How we'd beat the odds.
Now the truth has hit us.
Life is very hard.
Life can be so hard.

Chorus:
I love you.
Deeper than I ever dreamed of,
I need you. (I need you.)
Staying here 'til we can work it out,
I want you.
Knowing that through all the changes,
I love you. (I love you.)
Somehow I just had to tell you now.

(Yeah)
Oh, to stay your princess,
If I only could.
If you never saw the rotten;
Only saw the good.
You'd still be prince charming,
But we would never know,
How it's in the darkest times,
True love finally grows.
Come on true love grow.

(Repeat Chorus)

You got me, I got you.
Sometimes it takes a little working through,
But I can tell you now...

(Repeat Chorus Twice)

(I need you.)
(I love you.)
(I need you.)
(I love you.)

. . .



Like it or not
Life is ours for the living.
Only one shot
What's the advice you're getting?
Work hard in school.
Learn the good rule and
Try to make good for you.

No one could see
Hanging within the balance,
Helpless me.
I only want help to hear me
Evil and light
Caught in a fight.
They're trying to capture me.

But you cared about me now
Now and forever!

Chorus:
There'll never be anyone
Who can take the place of you;
There'll never be anyone
Stepping in your shoes.
There'll never be anyone
Giving it all to pull me through;
There'll never be anyone, (there'll never be anyone)
Stepping in your shoes.

Only through you,
Sin on innocent shoulders,
Could you undo
Darkness' power to hold us,
Once for all time,
Choosing to die;
I'll never deserve you.

And you cared about me now
Now and forever!

(Chorus)

Oh....
Oh....

There will never be anyone
Stepping in your shoes.
There will never be anyone
Stepping in your shoes.

(Repeat Chorus Three Times)

. . .



You know some days I like me.
Some days I don't.
Some days I try with passion.
Sometimes I won't.
I might just hold my guard up,
And lock my heart up tight,
But it's the door that's open,
Letting in the light.
There's a battle raging
Inside of me.
It's a holy struggle,
And it won't let go of me.

No, no, no,
I don't want to stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right.

I used to sit and ponder
If I'd be fine,
If Jesus lived His own life,
And I lived mine.
But love is such a magnet,
It pulled me night and day,
Until my needy heart
Just couldn't stay away.
Life can drive you crazy,
Or just about.
But even when it's most frustrating,
This kid's not walking out.

No, no, no,
I don't want to stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
Sure it's tough but I won't deny it,
No, no, no,
I don't want to waste my life hiding,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right.

I've made up my mind now,
I don't want to lose out, (unguarded)
Beginning to see now,
What the fight is about, (unguarded heart)
I gotta stay open,
Keep defenses all down, (unguarded)
Don't want to be hiding,
When the love comes round.

No, no, no,
I don't want to stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right.

No, no, no,
I don't want to stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
Sure it's tough but I won't deny it,
No, no, no,
I don't want to waste my life hiding,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right.

No, no, no,
I don't want to stop the fight, now,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right, now.

No, no, no,
I don't want to stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right.

No, no, no,
I just can't stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
If I want to live right.

No, no, no,
I don't want to stop the fighting,
Wo, wo, wo,
I just want to live right.

No, no, no...

Got myself in this situation,
I'm not sure about.
Climbing in where there's temptation,
Can I get back out?
I never can quite find the answer,
The one I want to hear.
The one that justifies my action
Says the coast is clear.
Something on the outside
Says to jump on in,
But something on the inside
Is telling me again,

Chorus:
Better wise up.
Better think twice.
Never leave room for compromise.
You better wise up.
Better get smart.
And use your head to guard your heart.
It's gonna get rough,
So you better wise up.

Take a look at your intentions,
When you have to choose.
Could it be that apprehension,
Might be telling you,
To back off now is better,
So take your heart and run.
But get your thoughts together,
Before they come undone.

(Repeat Chorus)

(You got to wise up.
You got to think twice.
You got to wise up.
You got to. You got to.)

To back off now is better,
So take your heart and run.
But get your thoughts together,
Before they come undone.

(Repeat Chorus)

So you better wise up.
Better think twice.
And never leave room for compromise.
Oh, you better wise up.
Better get smart.
And use your head to guard your heart.
It's gonna get rough,
So you better wise up.

(You got to wise up.
You got to think twice. (Hohhhh!)
You got to wise up. (Oh, yeah!)
You got to. You got to.)

So you better wise up, now....

(You got to wise up.
You got to think twice. (Better wise up, y'all!)
You got to wise up.
You got to. You got to. (Oh, yeah!))

(You got to wise up.
You got to think twice. (Better...)
You got to wise up. (Oh, you better wise up, now....)
You got to. You got to. (Ohhhhh, yeah!!!))

(You got to wise up. (Hoo! Hoo, hoo, hoo, hoooooooo-hoo!!)
You got to think twice.
You got to wise up.
You got to. You got to. (Oh, got to show yo', yeah!))

(You got to wise up.
You got to think twice. (Hoaa!! Oowwwww!!!)
You got to wise up.
You got to. You got to.)

Don't take a ride from a stranger,
No way to know where they go.
You may be left on a long dark road,
Lost and alone.
Don't you recall what your Mama told?
You've got to learn hot from cold.
When you're afraid that you might get burned,
Where do you turn?

You've got to know who to, (who to)
Who not to listen to.
You've gotta know who to, (ooooh....)
Who not to listen to.
Well, you know, they're gonna hit you from all sides,
Better make up your mind
Who to, who not to listen to.

(Who to listen to.)

How can you learn what is true and just?
How to know who to trust?
Here comes a man with a scam to sell.
How can you tell?
You've gotta know there's a bigger plan,
Room to fall, room to stand.
Pray for the plan to begin in you;
Keep your heart true.

You've got to know who to, (who to)
Who not to listen to.
You've gotta know who to,
Who not to listen to. (Who to listen to.)
Well, you know, they're gonna hit you from all sides,
Better make up your mind
Who to, who not to listen to.

It's gonna hit you from all sides,
Better make up your mind
Who to, (who to), who not to listen to.

Everyone will have their words to say....
Find the word to help you find your way....

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...yeah...ah....)

You've got to know who to, (who to)
Who not to listen to.
You've gotta know who to,
Who not to listen to. (Who to listen to.)
Well, you know, they're gonna hit you from all sides,
Better make up your mind
Who to, who not to listen to.

They're gonna hit you from all sides,
Better make up your mind
Who to, who not to listen to. (Who to listen to.)

They're gonna hit you from all sides.

Hit you from all sides,
Better make up your mind
Who to, (who to), who not to listen to.
(Who do you listen to?)

They're gonna hit you from all sides, (They're gonna hit!)
They're gonna hit you from all sides,
Better make up your mind
Who to, who not to listen to.

(Who to listen to.)

(You've got to know.
Who to listen to.)

(You gotta know who to.
Who to listen to.)

(They're gonna hit you from all sides.
Hit you from all sides.)

You know me better than the rest
Please don't say we don't see eye to eye now
Friend to friend, can you tell me this:

Tell me, tell me, where do you belong

Tell me, tell me, where do you come from (yeah)
Tell me, tell me, why do you pretend to know.

Call His name that is all He's asking
Let Him come down to where you are
You can have life that's everlasting
Can't you see this is just the start.

Tell me, tell me, where do you belong
I guess you've no idea
Tell me, tell me, where do you come from (yeah)
Tell me, tell me, why do you pretend to know.

I face the day again
Against the window pane.
I remain your closest friend,
And wish you back again.
You wonder how I feel;
You think you've pushed too far.
If only you could see this pen
Scribbling down my heart.

I'll be waiting.
I may be young or old and gray,
Counting the days,
But I'll be waiting,
And when I finally see you come,
I'll run when I see you--
I'll meet you.

But still the days drag on.
Why did you decide to go?
Did you only need to see
What only time can show?

I'll be waiting.
I may be young or old and gray,
Counting the days,
But I'll be waiting,
And when I finally see you come,
I'll run when I see you.

And even if
You never do return,
Still I will have learned
How to love you better.

I'll be waiting.
I may be young or old and gray,
Counting the days,
But I'll be waiting,
And when I finally see you come,
I'll run to meet you.

I'll be waiting.
I may be young or old and gray,
Counting the days,
I'll be waiting,
And when I finally see you come,
I'll run to meet you.
