FORGE AHEAD
Lyrics by Stan C. Countz © April, 2008 Valley Views Productions
VS 1
There was a time I was walkin’ on Cloud Nine
I was yours and you were mine
It was a time I will always treasure
but it’s just too hard to measure
PRE-CHORUS
how much life we can lose when we choose
To keep our eye on the gift and not the giver
So give us this day our daily bread and deliver
Us from evil and always remember
CHORUS
It’s so easy to get off track
Now I see, we can’t go back
But we can ____ forge ahead
Yes we can ____ forge ahead
VS 2
The daily grind can blind our eyes
to the miracles all around us
Don’t buy into the lies or compromise your soul
or you’ll spend a lifetime dodgin’ the devil’s toll
CHORUS
It’s so easy to get off track
Now I see we can never go back
But we can ____ forge ahead
Yes we can ____ forge ahead
OUTRO
We can learn from the past and let the dead bury the dead
So give us this day our daily bread and deliver us from evil
Can’t get this outta my head: “If My people
who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray
Seek my face and turn from their wicked ways
Then from heaven will I hear, forgive them of their sins
And heal their land.”
OUTRO TO LAST CHORUS
I know it can be hard to understand
You see we can’t go back, but we can ____
Forge ahead: we can’t go back but we can _____
Forge ahead

GIVE AND TAKE
Lyrics by Stan C. Countz © April, 2008 Valley Views Productions
V1
We gotta give and take; it’s a two way street
Life can be just great if we’ll give and take
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
So take time to pray and make time for joy
BRIDGE
To maintain the fire, we gotta fan the flame
To obtain our desires, gotta go against the grain
Gotta make our lemons into lemonade
Almost just ain’t good enough
‘cept in horseshoes and hand grenades
CHORUS
We gotta give and take; it’s a two way street
We need to take a break: to turn the other cheek
We all make mistakes but we can rise above defeat
We need His love, His grace and we need His peace
‘Cuz on judgment day___ He’s gonna give and take
V2
Sometimes we have to make a trade
To take a step back to move ahead
Sometimes we’re afraid to laugh
so we cry instead; we think we’re livin’
when we’re really dead inside
PRE-CHORUS
Sometimes we seek; sometimes we hide
Sometimes we’re meek; sometimes we’re full of pride
We’re either Doctor Jekyll or Mister Hyde
But, either way, we gotta give and take
CHORUS
We gotta give and take; it’s a two way street
We need to take a break: to turn the other cheek
We all make mistakes but we___ can rise above defeat
We need His love. His grace and we need His peace
‘Cuz on judgment day___ He’s gonna give and take
OUTRO
Make no mistake, the dead in Christ shall wake
And the foundations of the earth will shake
He’ll never leave or forsake us; never bend or break us
He’ll mold and make us just like His son; we’ve only just begun
But we can___make a brand___ new start
if we’ll give and take with all our heart
We can _____make a brand new start
if we’ll give and take with all our heart
V1
We gotta give and take; it’s a two way street
Life can be just great if we’ll give and take
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy
