New Song Lyrics by Ray Hollis
A THOUSAND TIMES
GENRE: COUNTRY
VERSE
Ain’t it a shame
How I took you for granted
I never thanked you quite enough
For all the things you’ve done
No one could love me
The way you always loved me
Now I’ve got a lot of time to think
About you since you’ve gone
CHORUS
A thousand times I want to hold you
A thousand times I wish I’d told you
How much you mean to me
I’d tell you a thousand times
A thousand times I want to love you
A thousand times I’m thinking of you
I wish had one more time
To tell you a thousand times
VERSE
Ain’t it funny
How we gain a new perspective
It wasn’t long ‘til you were gone
To see things a different way
I wish I had the chance
To do it all over
I bet I’d find the time to say
I love you a thousand times
BRIDGE
A thousand times
Oh a thousand times
Wishing you were here
I wish a thousand times

BRIGHTER DAY
GENRE: POP
VERSE ONE
Are we living in a sci-fi movie
Wake me up if it’s a dream
Did this whole world just stop spinning
Will it start ever again?
Separated, all together
We’re in a war, so let us fight
There’s an enemy we cannot see
But we're gonna see the light!
CHORUS
Ooh we are in this world together
Going through the stormy weather
To a brighter day
Ooh we have hope for our tomorrow
There'll be sunshine for our sorrow
And a brighter day
TAG/BRIDGE
It’s gonna be ok
I see a brighter day
VERSE TWO
Are we loving every day we’re living
Are we daring to dream again
Cause this old world needs a new beginning
When it feels like it’s the end
Hope is rising from the ashes
And the page is soon to turn
To the chapter we’re awaiting
When we're shining like the sun!

CAN’T STOP LOVIN’ YOU
GENRE: COUNTRY
VERSE ONE
Like a runaway freight train and I’m
Chugging down the track insane
I can’t slow down
I can’t stop now
My engines are burning and my
My wheels are turning
Moving down the line
Can’t lose no time
PRE-CHORUS
You’re my destination
And I’m headed to the station
You’ll know I’m getting closer
When you hear that whistle blow-oh!
CHORUS
Whoo-whoo, baby I’m in love with you-hoo
Can’t get you off my mind
Think about you all the time
Like a steaming locomotive
With the throttle stuck wide open
Can’t nothing stop me now
I’ve got the hammer down
Like a train gone crazy baby, yeah it’s true
I can’t stop loving you
Whoo-hoo, I can’t stop loving you
VERSE TWO
You can’t paint a moving train
And I don’t want to change
I’ve got a one-track mind
Baby you’re so fine
Can’t turn this thing around cause my
My heart is one way bound
And the brakes won’t hold
I got no control
BRIDGE
I can feel the steam a rising
I can hear those engines winding
And I’m losing my caboose
Cause I’m crazy about you

DREAMED I WENT TO AFRICA
GENRE: KIDS
I dreamed I went to Africa
And I met a hippopotamus
He had a big ol’ bottomus
And he tried to sit on me
I’m so glad it was just a dream
That a big ol’ hippopotamus
Did not sit on me
I dreamed I went to Africa
And I met a mad rhinoceros
With big horn on his snozurus
And he was chasing after me
I’m so glad it was just a dream
That a mad rhinoceros
Was not chasing me
I dreamed I went to Africa
And a boa constrictor
He was quite the trixter
And tried put the squeeze on me
I’m so glad it was just a dream
That a boa constrictor
Did not put the squeeze on me
I dreamed I went to Africa
And a laughing hyena
Who thought he was a comedian
And he laughed out loud at me
I’m so glad it was just a dream
That a laughing hyena
Did not laugh out loud at me
I dreamed I went to Africa
And I met a hungry lion
His stomach was growling
He tried to take a bite of me
I’m so glad it was just a dream
That a hungry hungry lion
Did not take a bite of me

You healed the sick and walked on water
The God of miracles!

How far, how high
How deep, how wide’s
Your love for me
The earth, the sun
The stars, the sky
Heaven displays

Your love’s like an ocean
Like mountains of mercy
And glorious galaxies
Of your great grace
Love incomparable
Words indescribable
Incomprehensible
Your great grace!

From east to west
My sins are tossed
Into the sea
The cross, the tomb
The stone, Your rose
To live in me!

Sufficient, abundant
Transcendent, triumphant
Unchanging, amazing
Your great grace!

HAVE YOU SEEN MY UNICORN?
GENRE: KIDS
VERSE
Have you seen my unicorn?
She looks like a pony with a horn
She’s got rainbow colors and wings that glow
Have you seen my unicorn?
CHORUS
Where’s my unicorn
My beautiful, imaginary, magic horse
She’s not mythological, she’s real to me
Have you seen my unicorn?

INSIDE MY HEART
GENRE: WORSHIP
VERSE ONE
If I could journey out a million miles
Beyond the starry skies
And I could marvel at creation
Gaze at everything inside
If I could look back through
Your eyes, oh God
To see what You might see
You’d be looking past all You’ve made
And You’d be looking here at me
CHORUS
You ignite a billion stars
From the light of who You are
And paint Your goodness
In this universe of art
And beyond imagination,
Your marvelous creation
Your glory fills it all, each single part
Yet You live inside my heart
VERSE TWO
If I could count the grains
of sand on earth
Below the ocean’s roar
I’m reminded of Your thoughts of me
And how You love me more
Than the earth and moon
and sun and stars
That revolve in harmony
And You made it all, You gave it all
And You’d trade it all for me
BRIDGE
I worship You, Creator of the universe
Heaven kissed earth
When You died upon the cross
You shine brighter than it all
The sun, the moon, the stars
And You’re the light within my heart

LITTLE CHURCH
GENRE: SOUTHERN GOSPEL
VERSE ONE
We don’t have the smoke
Or all those fancy lights
Our steeple and our pews
May be out of style
Some say our day is over
That it’s time to close the doors
But in this little church we’re family
And Jesus Christ is Lord
CHORUS
Here in this little church
God moves in big ways
He’s done great things in the past
And mighty miracles today
The Spirit is moving
And Jesus saves
Here in this little church
God moves in big ways
VERSE
We might sing a hymn
About Amazing Grace
Or try a brand-new song
It may not sound the same
We’re just singing from hearts
An old piano and guitar
Let this little church touch heaven
And Jesus be the star
BRIDGE
We may be small but God is great
In every heart that lifts up his name
From every nation, tongue and tribe
Let the church arise and shine!

PICTURE PERFECT
GENRE: COUNTRY
VERSE ONE
I look back at our picture
From many years ago
When we were young at heart
And we didn’t know
That years would fade so fast
While the days would move so slow
While we still got one another
I want you to know
CHORUS
Times were good when times were bad
And the best years that we had
Were times of faith in times of doubt
When we had to work things out
When anger raged, love forgave
Oh the memories we’ve made
Prettiest picture I see
Picture perfect to the tee
Is you here with me
VERSE TWO
Life’s a photograph
Of many memories
Of people we adore
And places that we’ve seen
Love will paint each season
Into a masterpiece
On the canvas my heart
Babe it’s you and me
BRIDGE
Oh I only have this one regret
That we can’t do it all again
If I could, I’d spend a million lives with you
So I’ll frame this moment in my heart
You’re a priceless work of art
END CHORUS
Prettiest picture I see
Picture perfect to the tee
I wish for all eternity
You here with me

TEACH ME TO FLY
GENRE: WORSHIP
VERSE ONE
They that wait upon the Lord
Shall renew their strength
They shall walk, yes, they shall run
And mount up on eagle’s wings
CHORUS
teach me to fly, Jesus
Above the clouds of doubt and fear
Teach me to fly, Jesus
Rising higher and higher
Into heavenly places where I see your face
And I leave all my care behind
When life tries to hold me down
Teach me to fly
VERSE TWO
When my final day has come
And my work is done
Jesus, You will call my name
And say my child come home
