The Prize by James D. Harvey

Verse 1; 

Seem so distracted my thoughts unclear, so many voices I simply can't hear

Too many issues I need to overcome but I've forgotten what I've come from... what i have come from

 

Chorus;

So as, as I run this race, may You be The Prize as I seek Your face...

 

Verse 2;

Need to slow down and breathe again, find the center so I can mend

Got to quit running and quiet my mind, pray for some healing so I can find...

Chorus

Bridge; 2x

Just like Martha we run to and fro, never take the time to ever know

The Savior who died who hung on the cross for our behalf so none would be lost

The joy was His, he gladly paid though He was buried He rose in three days... 

Chorus 

 

Sunday’s Coming by James D. Harvey

Chorus;

Sunday’s Coming and I know it’s true! 

You’re coming back for who believe in You

Sunday’s Coming, Your Word is true

You’re coming back and we will be renewed

I said, Sunday..... Sunday

 

Verse #1; 

It’s always a struggle, we can’t along

We’re looking for love, in all our songs

A world at war, all over the place

But something is wrong with this human race!

Chorus….

Verse #2:

Since we arrived, it doesn’t seem right

Isn’t really clear, but it’s always a fight

We know something wrong, it’s why we sing the blues

It’s in all our papers, and all over / on our news

 Chorus….

Bridge;  

Life is so short, Just a blink of an eye

One minute we’re here and then it’s goodbye!

I see the dark clouds but it’s part of the deal

I know Sunday’s coming, it ain’t how I feel….  Ain't how I feel….

 Chorus

 

Riches of His Graces by James D. Harvey

Chorus:

Oh, Your life ain't over, you're still in the race

It's all because of His amazing grace 

I said, your life ain't over you're still in the race

So Let us be amazed at the riches of His grace

His grace, His grace...

 

Verse #1:

What have I done, so many mistakes

I feel like a failure, and I feel like a fake

And I've stumble around grasping for straws 

I can't find my way, always seem to fall.

 

Chorus

Verse #2;

I'm not content, I run to and fro...

What should I to do and where should I go? 

And I know there's beauty that I want to see

Oh, let my soul fly, please set me free! 

 Chorus

Bridge;

I heard Jesus say,"Let it all go

Yes, you will reap what you sown

But there's still a chance that you can choose 

Believe in Me and I will make it all new

 Chorus

 

Help Me written by James D. Harvey

Verse #1 ; 

I’ve listen and conformed to all of their rules 

and now that I’m an adult I feel like such a fool.

I feel so dark and ugly inside not knowing what or how or why

And now that I’ve peered into my depths of my soul, what stares back at me is a big black hole 

 

Chorus; 

I’m just a little baby that needs your hand, 

to guide and protect make me a man!  

Oh, I’m just a little baby…

 

Verse#2;

I scream to heaven with tears in my eyes; 

I truly can’t tell You oh, why I cry!

But, please, dear Lord I hope you hear my prayer! 

Cause You’re the only one that really cares…

 

Chorus; 

Bridge; 

If you call to Me cause you see your need, accept my forgiveness, I will set free!

No longer will you be orphaned or alone, I’ll call you my child and I will give you a home.  Yes, I will give you a home…

 Chorus…

 

 

Light My Way; copyright 2013

Lyrics by Derek Steiner and James D. Harvey

Music by James D. Harvey

Verse –

Sitting on the street, her tears fall from the sky

She says, there is nothing left… its her turn to die

The pain she feels, words can’t describe

Falling to her knees… she prays as she cries

 

Chorus –

Jesus won’t you light my way, I know I can’t make any other way

I said - Jesus won’t you light my way, I’ve tried it all You’re the only, only way… you’re the only way

 

Verse #2;

Standing on the corner, he feels so very small

In a world of giants,  he looks only 6 inches tall

Wandering all around, he’s lost in all his ways

Falling on his knees he cries, oh as he prays

 

Chorus 2x

Jesus won’t you light my way, I know I can’t make any other way

I said - Jesus won’t you light my way, I’ve tried it all You’re the only, only way… you’re the only way

 

Bridge –

Through all the storms and all the pain 

if you look to Jesus he will wash it away

Through all the rain and the dark skies

Let His love open up your eyes…

 Chorus;

 

 I’m so Glad; written by James D. Harvey  

Open – 

Verse #1 – I messed up again, got it all wrong

                  Forgot those lyrics to that stupid song

                  Oh, I can’t get it right; I try and I try

                  Oh, I feel so bad… I just wanna cry

Verse #2 - I just wanna win, want it so bad

                  I try so hard, it makes me so mad

                  Will these turn around, we’ll I get it right

                  Will these clouds ever part so I can see the light

                  Forever loved, in Your Grace do I abide

                  Oh, I’m so glad!!!

 Verse #3 – I picked the wrong clothes, I got bad hair

                  Didn’t hit those notes, life seem fair

                  Oh, I try so hard, it just ain’t right

                  I wonder if it’s even worth the fight?

Verse #4 – Ain’t got the look no matter what I do

                  I wanna give up when I look at you.

                  Seems like this dream may never come true

                  Oh, I don’t know what I’m gonna do

 

Chorus;    I’m so glad that You’re in my life

                Forever loved, in Your Grace do I abide

                Oh, I’m so glad!!!

 

 

Rocks in my Shoes; written by James D. Harvey 2015

 

Open / Verse –

Been a rough morning, bad start to the day

The bills piling up that I got to pay

Oh, the car won’t start, what will I do?

I’d do it differently, if I only knew…if I only knew

Got rocks in my shoes and dirt in my eyes

There goes another who just passed me by

I got rocks in my shoes and dirt in my hair

But it’s ok cause I know that God cares… I know he cares

Finally got to work, gonna be a long day

The boss is jerk, what else can I can say

But I need the money, so we can survive

There’s no other way, I gots to get by…I gots to get by

 

Bridge; 

Life ain’t easy, But we should shine

Many are looking, For love is the sign

I got rocks in my shoes and dirt in my hair

But it’s ok cause I know that God cares… I know he cares

But when i look over my life so much, so much has remained the same
