Meet in the Middle

I do what I want
When I want to do it
No matter what it takes
I’m in to win it
And I try

Well I take my time
I go slow
I don’t like to be rushed
Oh no, but I try

Pre-chorus
How do I get from where I am to where you are
Why do I get this feeling no matter the distance
No matter how far

Chorus
We’ve got to meet in the middle
Take it one step at a time
Meet in the middle
I’ll come your way you come mine
Meet in the middle
That’s where we’ll finally see
Just how good it can be

I get defensive and so uptight
When all in my world’s just not going right
But I try
It’s the little things I often sweat
Don’t know why I worry and get so upset
But I try

Bridge:
It doesn’t matter how long it takes
As long as we’re gettin’ a little bit closer everyday

First Love

I remember the first time I saw you
I couldn’t look away
Everything I had dreamed of and more
Was standing there that day
I didn’t think I had a chance you were way our of my league
And when you came walking toward me
My knees went weak

Chorus:
That day my life changed forever
You were always on my mind
Couldn’t wait for the next time we’d be together
Your hand holding mine
I was in love for the very first time

The years have flown by and you still take my breath away
Just seeing you from a distance puts a smile on my face
I didn’t think I had a chance you were way out of my league
And still to this day
you make me go weak

Bridge:
Why do I get this feeling
What we have is special
It’s not a love you see everyday
It all started when you caught my attention
And I still can’t keep my eyes off you today

Letting Go

If you could see beyond these walls that I’ve erected
You might see a heart that’s longing to be loved

If you could just stay long enough to really know me
I might just be ready to fall

Chorus:
Setting me free from all of my shame
Letting go of all of this pain
Break away from all that has kept me locked inside

I don’t know the answers to all of life’s questions
When my hand’s in yours I can take on the world

You see me through my trials, conquer all my battles
You’re my rock, you’re my everything

Bridge:
Come tear down these walls that
I’ve built around my heart
Now I’ve fought long enough
And now I’m ready to fall

In Your Shoes

If I could live one day in your shoes
To know exactly what it’s like to be you
To know all the problems you go through
To be you

I’d like to live your life for a while
To truly understand what makes you smile
To share in all your joy
All of me, all of you

Chorus:
What are you thinking?
What’s your perspective?
All of your hopes and all of your dreams
Finding a way to understand you
Sharing a love that’s truly real

I know we don’t always agree
But without you where would I be?
I want to spend time knowing what it’s like
To be you

Bridge
I want to hear about your day
Let you know that everything will be okay
Together we don’t have to be alone

And Then

Tonight had seemed to her like a dream
And she wished it would never end
She had known from the first day they’d met
That she’d found her lifelong friend

Then he took her hand and got down on one knee
And her head started to swim
Then he said the words that she’d always dreamed
He asked her to marry him

Chorus 1:
And then, she cried
Tears of joy filling her eyes
She knew right then
They’d be together the rest of their lives

They’d always wanted children of their own
But every time they tried it didn’t work out
So when they found out they were having a child
They didn’t know whether to believe or doubt
Not a single day of those nine months went by
That they didn’t stop to pray
When the doctor handed them their baby girl
They didn’t know what to say

Chorus 2:
So then, they cried
Tears of joy filling their eyes
They knew right then
The Lord had blessed them with this new life

Bridge:
And their lives were blessed
And their love it grew
Through the good and the hard times
Together they always stood

He asked if he could sit and talk for a while
Just like they used to do
She looked at him and said with a smile
I’m so thankful God gave me you

Their conversation turned to the past
And they talked over times of old
He held her hand and she laughed out loud
At the stories that he told

Chorus 3:
And then, he cried
Tears of joy filling his eyes
He knew right then
The Lord would take care of his wife

Then he kissed her one last time
And then

Bless This Man

When I was just a young girl
I’d often pray for you
That you were becoming someone
Who loved Jesus like I do

I prayed your faith would be strong
Man after God’s own heart
And each time that I’d pray for you
This is how it’d always start

Chorus 1:
Lord, bless this man, he’s the one you’re preparing for me
To cherish me all of my life and love me devotedly
Lord help him to be strong
And be the support I’ll need
I’ll pray for him everyday
That by his side you’ll always be

As I grew up I knew
God was preparing me
To be that woman just for you
Because He knew what you’d need

Bridge:
I’ve dreamed of this day all my life
When I’d be yours and you’d be mine
And now I’m saying this prayer for you
On this first day as your wife

Chorus 2:
Lord bless this man, he’s the one you have chosen for me
I’ll cherish him all of my life and love him devotedly
Lord help me to be strong and be the support he’ll need
I’ll pray for him everyday and by his side I’ll always be

Lord help us to be strong, would you be the support we’ll need
Yes this chord of three will be strong
Because by our side you’ll always be
