Good Day

By Christopher Lewis Joneboi © 2000

It's been a good day

The devil thought I had

A reason to be mad

Looks like another good day

I think I will rejoice and be glad (repeat)

I think I will rejoice and be glad

Rejoice

Rejoice

Blessed be the day that the Lord has made

Rejoice

I think I will rejoice and be glad

 

 

You Were There

By Christopher Lewis Joneboi © 2002 & Canton Jones

Rap

I woke up this morning

Rolled out of my bed

Put my hands on the razor

had to shave my head

Stepped into the shower took

about a half an hour

Put on my clothes

Wifey cooking on the stove

Then off into the kitchen

Smelled some buttermilk biscuits

Eggs over easy, bacon hot and greezy

And just before I hit the door I

Had to fall on my knees and

Thank him for keeping me

Chorus

Lord I thank You for everything

You've done for me

Even when I didn't deserve Your goodness

Things I took for granted how

You always were there

And You promised never ever to leave

I’m just here thinking about

When I didn't have no way to go

Crying all night long tears on my pillow

Thought about You in the good times

Thought about You when I was down

How you always kept my feet on the ground

Stepped into the Benz

ya'll turn the radio down

Didn't wanna hear a peep

Didn't wanna hear a sound

Thought about His goodness

tears rolling down my face

I thought about His mercy

and His amazing grace

I could've been dead (2x)

Sleeping in my grave

but you made ole death

You made him sit down and behave

Lord you kept me from my enemies

While I've traveled all around the world

Without my wife, three boys,

and my baby girl

Chorus

About five years ago

depression was taking control

Baby girl fighting for her life in the hospital

Went to the chapel didn't go to stay long

You Were There (cont.)

Spirit gotta moving

and You gave me a song

Every time I turn around You keep on

doing great things for me

No matter where I go

Everywhere You're right there

Rap

At the show in Chicago

In Denver, Colorado

In the nick of time in Ohio

You brought the fieyo (fire)

In New York City

>From Philly to DC

Had it not been for Your mercy

it could've been me

At the church on Sunday morning

At the mall on my off day

Around the corner was my birthday

Extra money on my payday

Took a plane to California

And train to Tibulo

Took bus to Tennessee

You were there for me

All day all night

Got me some angels watching over me

 

 

Little Things

By Christopher Lewis JONEBOI ©1999

Who said a little ant

can't move a rubber tree plant

and who said what I'm doing now

is so insignificant

who said I've gotta know

everybody in the industry

If great is he, living in me, greater than he

that's in the world, maybe what it means,

that there's more to me than what they see

Cause if I have faith,

bout the size of a mustard seed

I can move any mountain, if I only just believe

I can pull down the strongholds,

when I open my mouth and sing

I guess the only thing that matters sometimes

Is the little bitty things

Tag:

You don't have to work so hard

God will make room for your gift child

be still and take a chill

sit back and relax and just be yourself

you just gotta be real

just the little things

Christian Automobile

(Tribute to The Dixie Hummingbirds)

By Christopher Lewis

Every Child

Every Child of God

Running for the Lord

Just like an automobile (3x)

Prayer is drivin license

Faith is the steerin wheel

When you get on the road to glory

Satan is gonna try to flag you down

Keep on driving if you want your starry crown

You gotta check on your tires

You got a rough road ahead

And if you are weary from your journey

gotta put you to bed

You gotta check on your lights

and see your own faults

Stop while you can see em children

Or your soul will be lost

You gotta check on your brakes

Stop your wicked ways

Cause a man is born of a woman only for a few days

You gotta check on your generator

You need more strength and power

You can't do nothing without the man

You need Him every hour

Christian work on your starter

Start up your automobile

Put it in first gear

Go head up the hill

Drive on children

If I never see you no more

I'll meet you when I pull in on the other shore

I'm not worried about my parking space

I just wanna see

My savior face to face

Prayer is drivin license

Faith is the steerin wheel

Amen and Thank God

No Color

By Christopher Lewis JONEBOI ©1999

I'm not asking for a dime

I just want a few short minutes of your time

I've got a couple things I wanna say

If you listen, it’s gonna make your day

If you die now, would it be okay?

Is it well with your soul where you're gonna go?

or do you know?

I know I caught you by surprise

I see the look in your eyes

You say you've never been asked before

from black man at your door

Chorus:

But you're my sister and my brother

somebody's father, somebody's mother

You're my sister and my brother

and Salvation ain’t got no color

You say, you ain’t ready and that's a fact

You say, you got a whole lot of living to do

you ain’t down with that, naw

But if you don't listen and

listen well then the only place for you right now

is a burning hell

Life's too short to be foolin around

But will you be ready when the trumpet sound

I know I caught you by surprise

I see that look in your eyes

you say you never been asked before

By a white man at the store

Chorus:

But you're my sister and my brother

somebody's father, somebody's mother

You're my sister and my brother

and Salvation ain’t got no color

Bridge:

Make up your mind don't give me no excuse

I wanna know which road you gonna choose

Please don't avoid me

because of the color of my face

I'm only trying to show you the right way

Chorus

Salvation aint got no color

Here's Kross breaking in with my boy Chris Lewis

We got a good Thang going on (3x)

Ain't no doubt about it (2x)

 

 

I Found Love

By Jay Lewis

Chorus

I found love on a two way street

Decided to go the way of true love

Situation number nine got old but number

Ten was the one to follow You above

I'd be crazy if I lost Your hand of tender mercy

I'm persuaded that when I found Jesus

I found Love

I don't need a fake artificial

temporary yesterday love

That's why I come to You

You're the real, true, genuine, never the less one

Now that You're here in my heart

Leaving Your side

I could never ever make it through

Like commission said You're the only one and

I just cannot live without You

Chorus

I found love on a two way street

Decided to go the way of true love

Situation number nine got old but number

Ten was the one to follow You above

I'd be crazy if I lost Your hand of tender mercy

I'm persuaded that when I found Jesus

I found Love

Now I'm giving my all to You

Not just today, tomorrow but until the end

Turning away from sin

And the things that I did just to get accepted for a friend

People call me foolish for serving a God I never even seen

But you can go on and call me foolish

I been changed

Chorus

I found love on a two way street

Decided to go the way of true love

Situation number nine got old but number

Ten was the one to follow You above

I'd be crazy if I lost Your hand of tender mercy

I'm persuaded that when I found Jesus

I found Love

I Found Love (cont.)

If you're looking for love put your hands up

If you're looking for peace put your hands up

If you're looking for hope put your hands up

Put your hands up (2x)

 

Come To Me

I only wanna hold you in my arms

Remember when you loved me like you used to

Wanna let you know you're not alone

And you don't have to be afraid

Oh no (3x)

If you're feeling lonely

If you're feeling weary

If you'd only trust in me

You know I'll make you happy

If you're feeling lonely

If you'd only trust in me

You know I'll make you happy

I'm the one to save you

And I'll give you rest

Just you and me

Want ya come to me (2x)

 

 

Never

By Chistopher Lewis JONEBOI ©1999

Who was the one that was there

when all of your friends

didn't even care about you, no

who was the one that understood

just how you felt

And told you I've been there

even when you walked away

left me standing in the cold

I gotta say that I feel

The same way still

Thought that you would like to know

I don't condone the things you've done

or where you've been

I only want to forgive you from all your sins

Chorus:

Cause you betrayed my love for you once again

and you said you'd never do it again

even though my love believe you again

I've been waiting to forgive you and

and if you ever need me I'll be there for you

My love is not the kind of love one can undo

in the thick and thin I'll be faithful and true

I'll never stop lovin you

I'm never ever gonna leave from your side

Who was the one that stuck by you

through the good and bad times in your life

what can I say what can I do

Never (cont.)

to make me the apple of your eye

I'll never leave or walk away from you

it's a violation of my will

and I will always love you

I want you to know my love is for real

I don't condone the things you done

or where you've been

I only want to free your heart from sin

Chorus:

Cause you betrayed my love for you once again

and you said you'd never do it again

even though my love believe you again

I'll be standing right here

with my arms wide open again

and if you ever need me I'll be there for you

My love is not the kind of love one can undo

in the thick and thin I'll be faithful and true

I'll never stop lovin you

I'm never ever gonna leave from your side

 

 

Delivered

By Christopher Lewis Joneboi © 1997

Verse

I never knew or got a chance to meet

Brother David

But I got a feeling that we've got a couple things in common and I know

What I mean to say is that

we've seen our separate trials

But at the end of them all

we've seen total victory

Verse

I never knew or got a chance to meet

Brother Moses

But I got a feeling that we've got a couple

things in common and I know

What I mean to say is that

we've seen the hands of bondage

But at the end of the road

we've seen the promise land

Chorus

Delivered form the silent frustrations of my mind

When you broke through the shadows of the past I left behind

When the enemy came running,

ranting and roaring

Lord You showed Yourself strong

in the midst of it all

Bridge

Lord I've seen so many battles

in the warfare of the faith

And sometimes I feel like I'm fighting on my own

Although the devil soon reminds me of

defeated times before

One defeated battle does not mean

I've lost the war

Chorus (repeat)

 

 

Forever

Public Domain

For thine is the Kingdom and the power

And the glory

Forever

 

Completely

By Christopher Lewis JONEBOI ©1999

Thy word oh Lord

have I hidden down in my heart

Don't wanna do the things

that will keep You and I apart

Don't even wanna say the words

That You haven't spoken to me

Don't even wanna go nowhere

unless You go with me

Chorus:

I wanna be Yours, Oh Lord

completely

everything I am, everything I've got

everything I'm not, I wanna be

completely

All I wanna be is completely

I'll bless Your name at all times

Your praises shall continually

be in my mouth

from the rising of the sun

til it goes back down

I'll keep on loving You

for Your name is worthy

Chorus:

I wanna be Yours, Oh Lord

completely

everything I am, everything I've got

everything I'm not, I wanna be

completely

All I wanna be is completely

 

 

She

"A Song for Lauren"

By Christopher Lewis JONEBOI ©1999

She, one that I adore

the one that I would die for

She knows how just to make me smile

and grab my attention for awhile

She takes my breathe away

inspires every note I play

I just can't wait til I get home

to hold her close in my lovin arms

to tell her how much

she means to me

If I could hear her

say those same words to me

She (cont.)

She is the sweetest one

sweetest one under the sun

little bundle of joy

I would do anything for

It's just a miracle

to love one so special

I can hardly wait til I get home

to hold her close in my lovin arms

to tell her how much

she means to me

If I could hear her

say those same words to me

This is for the one

The special one in my life

 

 

Beauty Queen

By Christopher Lewis JONEBOI © 1999

She was a picture perfect girl

on the cover of the people magazine

aura of complete elegance and exactness

she was a full time, beauty queen

She wore the fancy clothes and diamonds

beads of pearl draped in her hair

I think she looks just like her mother

just look at the same bright smile she wears

Chorus

Hey Mona Lisa,

can you spare some time for me?

I know you have everything that you want

but you don't have the one you need

just let me show you

show you the love of Jesus Christ

so don't walk away from me, my darling

this is an attempt to save your life

She never made much time for anything

other than monetary dreams

in her quest for grand acceptance

she'll never know what real love means

And now the reason for her story is

that money can buy expensive things

but can never compensate for true love

remember the full time beauty queen

[Guitar solo]

It can never compensate for true love

remember the full time beauty queen

 

 

Praze Party

By Christopher Lewis Joneboi © 2002

Clap your hands everybody

Everybody clap your hands

Chorus

Ain't no party like the Holy Ghost party

Cause the Holy Ghost party don't stop no (2x)

This is how we roll

You don't even have to keep it on the down low

Higher and higher every round goes

But you gotta keep it real on the dance floor

Praze Party (cont.)

But you can't be dignified

Brothers you gotta be purified

And by all means sisters keep it sanctified

Just throw your hands in the air

Wave them from side to side

Feel the Spirit in the groove

Let the Lord be magnified

Chorus

Ain't no party like the Holy Ghost party

Cause the Holy Ghost party don't stop no (2x)

>From the east coast to the west coast

>From the rising of the sun til it's a no show

It's just a praze party

Praze party baby

Get it on mommy

Til the band stops playing

and the saints go home

But you can't be dignified

Brother you gotta be purified

And by all means sisters keep it sanctified

Just throw your hands in the air

Wave them from side to side

Feel the Spirit in the groove

Let the Lord be magnified

Chorus

Ain't no party like the Holy Ghost party

Cause the Holy Ghost party don't stop no (2x)

What did you come for

if you real don't wanna dance

And magnify the name of Jesus

Give Him praze give Him thanks

Give Him Praze

Chorus

Ain't no party like the Holy Ghost party

Cause the Holy Ghost party don't stop no (2x)

 

 

The Grammy Song

By Christopher Lewis JONEBOI ©1999

I may not win a Grammy

I may not play on MTV

but as long as I got You Jesus

it's alright

it don't really mean that much to me

I may not hit the big time

I may not get my story told

But what would it profit me

to gain the whole world

and lose my soul
