A Message To You lyrics - Yolanda Adams

I love you, do you really love me?
I cry for you, have you wept with me?
I've cared for you
How much do you care for me?

So you could have me
I carried a load of shame
So could have my name
Have you done what I've asked of you?

I asked you to come unto me
Give all your cares and burdens to me
For I truly love you
Somehow I can't get through

I have only the best for you
But my voice you ignore
Have you done what I asked of you?
This is my message to you
I'm coming back for you

Victory - yolanda adams

[Chorus]
I've got, got the victory
I've got the sweet sweet victory in Jesus.
Yes I do
He's our mighty conqueror.
In him I will trust all my battles he'll fight.
I've got, got the victory
I've got the sweet sweet victory in Jesus.
For me He died but He rose on the third day.
That's why I have true victory everyday.

[Verse 1]
Truly I've been through the storm and rain.
I know every thing about heartache and pain.
But God carried me through it all without His protection I'll surely fall.
Ive been broke without a dime to my name.
But all my bills got paid because I called on Jesus name.
You can't tell me that God isn't real 'cause I've got the victory and that why I'm still here.

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
I'm not worried about material things I don't have.
I just rest 'cause I'm sure in my Savior's care
Because I know that my blessing is on the way
I can't see it right now but I stand by faith.
I've fought many, many battles in His name.
I've held up the blood-stained banner and proclaimed.
That Jesus is the truth to the light.
Believe me when I say he will make it right.

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Yeah I got the victory yeah
I got the victory yeah yeah yeah
And if you got the victory sing along with me
Yeah I got the victory yeah I got the victory
Yeah yeah yeah
Sing it with me I've got the victory

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
[Chorus out]

Tonight - yolanda adams

I know it's been a while now,
Since you last heard from me,
Or talked to me
It's been kind of hard lately
I've had a lot on my mind
It's been so long that,
I'm afraid that the words may not come out right
But, tonight I'll try
Tonight
Tonight I'll try
Tonight

I know that prayin' ain't always easy
It's hard sometimes to express what you feel inside
Especially when you don't think God is listening
It's been raining now for sometime
But instead of what I see
You want me to trust You, working it out for me
So, tonight I will try
Tonight
Oh oh oh
Tonight I'll try
Tonight

Who ever told you that living in this world would be easy?
Baby, they lied
And, whoever said that lovin' folk that don't love you back ain't really hard
Even though you really tryin'
Telling you what I'm going through
Sometimes it's harder than I realize
But tonight I'll try
Tonight
Tonight I'll try
Tonight

So, tonight when you get home
You oughta unplug the phone
And get alone
Tell your Father how you truly feel
Even if your words don't come out right
For no matter how far you've gone
God's love can find you, and bring you back home
So, tonight you oughta try,
Tonight
So, tonight you oughta try,
Tonight

Who ever told you that living in this world would be easy?
Baby, they lied
And, whoever said that lovin' folk who don't love you back ain't really hard
Even though you really tryin'
Telling you what I'm going through
Sometimes it's harder than I realize
But tonight I'll try
Tonight
Tonight I'll try
Tonight

Tonight
Take away my pain (Tonight)
Take away my strains (Tonight)
And let me live (Tonight)
All over again (Tonight)
Tonight I'm gonna throw my hands up (Tonight)
Tonight I'm gonna give it all up (Tonight)
Tonight I wanna turn it all around (Tonight)
Put my feet on solid ground (Tonight)
Won't you take me where you need to take me (Tonight)
Won't you do with me what you wanna do with me (Tonight)
Tonight
Tonight
This night
Tonight
I'm yours
I'm yours [x3]

Be Blessed - yolanda adams

[Verse 1:]
Too many storms have passed your way
And you're all washed out cause it rained on your parade
Seems nobody cares about you anyway
Now you're living your life like a castaway
Searched for strength inside was it all in vain
Cause the deeper you dig you find more and more pain
Don't let your tomorrow be like yesterday
Cause I spoke to God, I called out your name
And on your behalf, I just asked if He would be there for you
I want you to

[Chorus:]
Be Blessed, Don't live life in distress
Just let go, let God, He'll work it out for you
I pray that your soul will be blessed
Forever in his rest, Cause you deserve his best no less

[Verse 2:]
Enter a place where you never have to cry
Never have to live a lie, never have to wonder why
Never want for nothing you're always satisfied
In the peace that his arms will provide
He will erase any guilt or shame, any bad habits you've got
You won't wanna do em again, Yes we all can change, I can testify
See I spoke to God, I called out your name
And on your behalf, I just asked, If he would be there for you
I want you to

[Repeat Chorus]

My prayer for you today, Is that you trust and always obey
On this day keep calling [choir]
On this day keep calling [solo]
He'll keep you from falling [choir]
He'll keep you from falling [solo]
He'll supply the answers [choir]
Yes He will, if you stand in faith and trust Him to make a way out of no way [solo]

[Repeat Chorus]

Be blessed from the bottom of your feet to the crown of your head
Your life be blessed
Your family be blessed
Your finances be blessed
Everything about you

Someone Watching Over You - yolanda adams

Say that your not afraid
Your just fine
Got it all figured out this time
All of the plans you made
Will work out
Deep inside you have your doubts
But your clinging to your pride
And you just don't know
Your free to let it go

Cause even when it rains outside
There is light
Even when you cry all night
Your alright
Even when you loose your way
You'll get through
Cause there is someone watching over you

Say you've been hurt before your afraid
That you'll never love again
And why should you take a chance just to fall
But you'd rather build a wall
Than believe that you are loved
Open up your heart
Someone needs you as your are

I've been there
At times I get scared
Its true
But I hold on to that
I can't see
Something inside of me
And that's what give me strength to believe

Show Me - yolanda adams

There is a place in me
That no one but You can see
And in that place I'm really insecure
I've been hurt before by that
But I'm really sure You understand
Every tear I've cried
I bet You've cried a million more
How can I get back to where my smile I had was real
I'm desperate for Your touch
And I miss Your voice so much

Lord show me Your face
I'm longing for Your presence in this place
I give You all the pieces
'Cause you made a promise
You put me back together
Better than I was before

In the coldness of the night
I'm surrounded by Your light
Even in the darkness,
You tell me don't be afraid
I am not afraid
After all that I've been through
I'm still valuable to you
So I run to Your arms
Where I'm safe within Your praise
And just in case I forgot to tell You
Don't ever let me go
I'm desperate for Your touch
And I miss Your voice so much

Lord show me Your face
I'm longing for Your presence in this place
I give You all the pieces
'Cause you made a promise
You put me back together
Better than I was before

Lord, show me your will
Until you do I promise that I'll be still
So, come and take these pieces and
You made me a promise
You put me back together
Better than I was before

Before I met You
Before I knew You
My heart ached for something that I could not explain
And then, when I saw You,
I finally knew what I thought love was before had changed
Lord show me Your face
I'm longing for Your presence in this place
I give You all the pieces
'Cause you made a promise
You put me back together
Better than I was before

These trying times that are so hard to endure
In the middle of what seems to be your darkest hour
Hold fast your heart and be assured

And lift your hands up to the sky
And let His arms of love surround you
And take you to the other side
