(1) A Special Friendship
A friend is a really special person, someone who's loyal and is true.
And when there is no other, he's closer than a brother
There's really nothing that he wouldn't do for you.
But I need a really special friendship, someone who can show me how to give.
Someone with the wisdom and the power of God who can teach me how to live.
Yes I've found a really special friendship to help me if I'm ever feeling down.
I never want to lose it ‘cause my friend is God and He keeps me safe and sound.
So when I feel the whole world on my shoulders and no one else can tell me what to do.
I can't control my feelings, but before I hit the ceiling,
There's only one I know that I can still turn to ….
Yes I need a really special friendship, with someone who can understand my heart.
Someone with the mercy and the love of God who can teach me where to start.
Yes I've found a really special friendship to help me if I'm ever feeling down.
I never want to lose it ‘cause my friend is God and He keeps me safe and sound.
Have you found your life is dull and empty? Why not peer into The Book of life.
And then apply it's wisdom and get out of this system
And pray to God in earnest to remove your strife …
Yes I need a really special friendship, with someone who can understand my heart.
Someone with the mercy and the love of God who can teach me where to start.
Yes I've found a really special friendship to help me if I'm ever feeling down.
I never want to lose it ‘cause my friend is God and He keeps me safe and sound.
Then you'll find a really special friendship, to help you if your ever feeling down.
You'll never want to lose it ‘cause your friend is God and He keeps you safe and sound.
Yes we've found a really special friendship to help us if we're ever feeling down.
We never want to lose it ‘cause our friend is God and He keeps us safe and sound.
Yes He keeps us safe and sound.

(2) That's All There Is To Life Listen (LQ CLip)
I know when I get older I'd like to learn to dance.
I'd rehearse all the quicksteps if I could get a chance.
Or I could be good at tennis and winning every set
But if that ever fails me, my next love's clarinet!
Chorus:
But most of all I want just to live my life in a way that's good – and please my God
(That's all there is to life)
Then I know I'll find a true peace of mind with a joy of life that will not end.
I'd like to own some horses and ride them all day long.
I'd play with all the animals if I lived on a farm.
Or I could play the guitar and entertain my friends
But that wont bring me happiness in life that will not end …(Chorus)
Bridge:
Yes every child I know has got at least eighteen ambitions
Telling me what they will be when they grow up
Coming up with occupations as if it's a competition.
But deep down inside they know their hearts will change as they will grow and grow ..(chorus)
If I could be a doctor, I'd cure you of your ills
But it's not every sickness that can be cured with pills.
Or I could be a teacher, yeah a good one's hard to find.
Yes I could teach the Bible – The Book for all mankind ..(chorus)

(3) Sharing And Giving
As you get older the truth you will know – while sharing and giving your happiness grows.
Share with your friends and they'll stay ‘till the end and you'll know love's joy.
Look to the Bible examples to find – sharing and giving creates peace of mind
Abraham shared in a way that was fair so as to know love's joy
Abraham said to lot ‘we have to part – but why should we quarrel when brothers we are'
‘You take the best and then I'll take the rest and we'll know love's joy'
Chorus:
Share your time with your friend and if he asks don't you refuse
In this time of the end – share with him all the good news.
Look to the Bible examples to see – Sharing and giving can set your heart free
Turning the pages – look back through the ages – you'll know love's joy.
Jesus was generous of this we're assured. Though he had riches he made himself poor.
So we'd possess freedom and happiness and we'd know love's joy ..(Chorus)
Life is a free gift from this we can see – with sharing and giving our God is well pleased
Giving in secret , your Father who sees it will share love's joy ..(Chorus and 1st Verse)

(6) Forever Calls Your Name
All the stars in the night and the sun and moon forever calls your name.
Even wind through the trees and the son bird's tune forever calls your name.
And they call so loud in a voice so pure, you can hear the ring of the truth
But so many are told ‘good is bad', ‘bad is good' they say ‘truth – what is truth?'
Just the site of a babe when she's sleeping sound forever calls your name.
And the view from a hill – gazing all around - forever calls your name.
And it reaches out into every heart, singing clear with harmony true.
But the noise of this world tries to tear it apart and so few listen to you.
But the time will be here soon when every heart forever calls your name.
When even mankind plays it's rightful part and forever calls your name.
What a cheer! What a shout! What a joyful song of your wisdom, power, justice and love.
When the universe sings praises where they belong – all to you up above.
Yes the time will be hear soon when every heart forever, forever, forever calls your name.

(7) A Time To Choose
There's a time for everyone to choose – to decide which road to take.
There's no time to waste – no time to lose – on the journey you must make.
‘Though the road to life is cramped and hard and not many use that way.
But the ones who do are bless with joy and a friendship for today.
Chorus:
So don't you wait – Oh no. You'll only feel sorrow.
Don't hesitate – Oh no. You know tomorrow's way too late.
Now you've grown into your teenage years – right and wrong you've come to know.
And you've battled hard just too get here – ‘though you've still some way to go.
You can walk the way that's so called free but the hidden pain is real
And the warmth of our God's smile is much more comforting to feel ..(Chorus)
Bridge:
If you're loaded down like a slave then you might choose a master lowly in heart.
For his yoke is kindly. His load is light, You'll be happy once you play your part ..(Chorus)

(8) Pay Day
(verse a)
Take everything today and pay tomorrow – while even your own life is out on loan!
And join with all your ‘friends' – forget your sorrow – but in trouble you stand on your own!
Do what you want to do at cost tomorrow – so long as you have fun in what you do.
But when it comes to paying what you've borrowed – don't be shocked when the payment is you!
Chorus:
‘Cause when the great day is here tomorrow will be today
You'll find your debt is to great to pay.
They call what's in your heart ‘procrastination'. Perhaps it's there because of all your fear.
Or maybe you're just joining with the nation – but that wont stop the day getting near.
Whatever fills your heart with motivation – wont you let me give you some advice.
Stop filling your heart full of complications – or you'll find that you can't pay the price ..(Chorus)
(verse b)
No time for turning – your debt must be paid.
You've had your warning – it's too late for your life to be saved.
You wake in the morning to find out it's true,
You've had your warning - now you can't say that nobody knew.
Yeah now the great day is here. Tomorrow now is today
You find your death is to great to pay.
(repeat verse a and verse b in counterpoint and fade)

(9) Sing Louder
You can feel the tears that fall. You can hear their voices call.
You can see their faces all the time they're in fear.
And the love you have inside isn't something you can hide
Just forget your foolish pride and say how you feel – it's no big deal ..
Chorus:
Come on and sing louder and show the way
You've got to sing proud or you'll lose the faith
Sing from the heart. Sing it today. (Sing it today)
Come on and shout louder and show the way
You've got to speak out or you'll fade away
Sing from the heart. Sing it today. (Sing it today)
There is more to life than bread – more to feed than can be fed.
More to say than can be said right here in a song.
Then, there's those who turn away – you can almost hear them say –
‘I will help tomorrow but today – they can wait' – but that's too late ..(Chorus)
Bridge:
And let your words be true – let your words flow free.
Let everybody hear – with their minds let them see ..
(Chorus and fade)

(10) A Way To Stay Alive Download Song
Composer's Comment: When I first started looking into the Bible (over 24 years ago) and getting my questions answered I was simply astounded at the truths explained to me. I wanted to express my feelings in song but at the time it seemed my appreciation was growing too fast each week and I felt anything I wrote would be outdated almost immediately. Instead I wrote a song outlining a simple informal presentation that highlighted the momentous times we live in according to Bible prophecy being fulfilled presently around us as well as the confidence of further promises of God yet to be fulfilled.
What I'd like to say to you wont take of your time
What you've got to listen to is what you've hoped to find.
That is if you're seeking life – a way to stay alive – mmmmmm.
I don't have to tell you Sir of crime in the streets
Or of all the pain and death everyone meets.
That is, you must have formed your own views – you must read the news ..
Chorus:
These are hard times – times – these critical times hard to deal with are here with us today.
And in these times – times – the truth will be heard in all lands for a witness to say;
“This is Jehovah's day!”
Could I draw your attention to what's written in The Book
And what is says in Matthew here – just take a look.
You can see that it must describe today – it's here in everyway – mmmmmm.
Isaiah also tells us here of how our God is kind,
And how men will come to see who were formerly blind
And God's people will have everlasting life – no sorrow and no strife – mmmmm
After these . . . .(Chorus)
So now you'll agree with me - the promises are there.
And God gave us hope to live that you can also share.
But knowledge in Jehovah is the key – this you have to see
That is if your seeking life – a way to stay alive
And live through these times ..(Chorus)
