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

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
Im 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, its 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 aint got no color
You say, you aint ready and that's a fact
You say, you got a whole lot of living to do
you aint 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 aint 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
Chorus
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)

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

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

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
