Song Lyrics

I’ll See Him As He Is
(Music and Lyrics Written and Arranged by Maury Baggett. Copyright © 2003.)

Verse 1
That beau-ti-ful place that God calls Heav-en,
a land for those whose hearts are made pure.
It's for be-liev-ers who trust in Je-sus,
and we shall see God; His Word is sure.

In this trou-bled land we all have sor-rows,
but there our tears will be wiped a-way.
That place of beau-ty; joys are al-ways there;
ec-sta-sy in that e-ter-nal day.

Chorus (Verse 1):
When I view that ci-ty,
I will re-joice with great hap-pi-ness.
And I will be like Him;
I’ll see my Sav-ior just as He is.

Verse 2
There are some that say there is no fu-ture,
our be-ing is at death as be-fore.
But Je-sus told us that be-cause He lives,
all His saints shall live for ev-er-more.

We shall see Heav-en in all its beau-ty,
and with the splen-dor that there a-waits.
We shall see God ar-rayed in His glo-ry,
when we ar-rive there at Heav-en’s gate.

Chorus (Verse 2):
When I view that ci-ty,
I will re-joice with great hap-pi-ness.
And I will be like Him;
I’ll see my Sav-ior just as He is.
(Repeat)
Yes, I’ll see my Sav-ior just as He is.

THAT CITY OF LIGHT
(Music and Lyrics Written and Arranged by Maury Baggett. No Copyright.)

Verse 1
As I climb the high-est moun-tains,
and view the beau-ty of the scenes be-low,
The trees ar-rayed in their ma-jes-ty,
His lov-ing Spir-it comes and fills my soul.

As I view the high-est heav-ens,
the pow-er dis-played by the stars so bright,
I mar-vel with great ad-mi-ra-tion,
at won-drous scenes from that Ci-ty of Light.

CHORUS
What a won-der-ful Sav-ior,
who sits on His throne so bright,
He who al-ways cares for me.
from that Ci-ty of Light.

Verse 2
The world in all of its glo-ry,
and all the pleas-ures one ob-tains in sin,
Is no-thing when they are com-pared to,
what God has pre-pared for those who love Him.

My soul longs for that joy-ous day,
when God de-clares sor-row shall be no more,
The Lord will leave his glit-ter-ing throne,
to ga-ther His saints on heav-en's bright shore.

CHORUS
We will then join that heav-en-ly host,
prais-ing Him who cleansed us so white,
Re-joic-ing with Christ our King,
in that Ci-ty of Light.

LET IT BE ME

Verse 1
I bless the day I found you
I want to stay a-round you
And so I beg you, let it be me

Don’t take this hea-ven from one
If you must cling to some-one
Now and for-ev-er, let it be me

Chorus
Each time we meet love
I find com-plete love
With-out your sweet love what would life be

Verse 2
So ne-ver leave me lone-ly
Tell me you love me on-ly
And that you’ll al-ways let it be me

Chorus
Each time we meet love
I find com-plete love
With-out your sweet love what would life be

Verse 3
So ne-ver leave me lone-ly
Tell me you love me on-ly
And that you’ll al-ways let it be me
Let it be me

CHIQUITA

Verse 1
Ooh, On The Beach At Car-te-gena,
She, Sal-ty Ba-by With The Name-a.
Oh, Chi-qui-ta,
Oh, Love Chi-qui-ta.

She, Takes To Walkin' In The Sun-shine,
She, She'll Be Lovin' Till The Moon Shine.
Love Chi-qui-ta,
Oh, Love Chi-qui-ta.

Verse 2
She, Got The Pop-py-eyed De-sire,
Tease, Till The Boys Put Out The Fire.
Love Chi-qui-ta,
Oh, Love Chi-qui-ta.

Oh No No, Now Don't You Wake Me Up I'm Dream-ing,
No No No, If You Shake Me I'll Be Scream-ing.
Love Chi-qui-ta,
Oh Love Chi-qui-ta.

LUCILLE

Verse 1
In a bar in To-le-do a-cross the de-pot,
On a bar-stool she took off her ring.
I thought I'd get clo-ser,
So I walked on o-ver,
I sat down and ask her name.

When the drink fin-a-lly hit her,
She said I'm no quit-ter.
But I fin-a-lly quit liv-ing on drinks,
I'm hun-gry for laugh-ter,
And here ev-er a-fter.

Chorus
You picked the fine time to leave me, Lu-cille,
Four hun-gry child-ren and a crop in the field.
I've had some bad time,
Live thru' some sad times.
But this time the hurt-ing won't heal,
You pick the fine time to leave me, Lu-cille.

Verse 2
In the mir-ror I saw him,
I close-ly watch him.
I thought how he looked out of place,
He came to the wo-man,
Sat down be-side me.

He had a strange look on his face,
The big hands are cal-lous.
He looked like a moun-tain,
From a mi-nute I thought I was dead.
But he start-ed shak-ing,
But his big heart was break-ing.

Verse 3
Af-ter he left her,
I or-dered some whis-ky.
I thought how she made him look small,
From the lights of the bar-room.
To rent-ed ho-tel room,
We walked with-out talk-ing it all.

She was a beau-ty,
But when she came to me.
She must have thought I'd lost my mind,
I could-n't hold her.
The words that he told her,
The words that he told her,
Kept com-ing back time after time.

MY CUP RUNNETH OVER

Verse 1
Some-times in the morn-in' when sha-dows are deep,
I lie here be-side you just watch-ing you sleep.
And some-times I whis-per what I'm think-ing of,
My cup run-neth o-ver with love.

Verse 2
Some-times in the ev-en-ing when you do not see,
I stu-dy the small things you do cons-tant-ly.
I mem-o-rize mo-ments that I'm fond-est of,
My cup run-neth o-ver with love.

Verse 3
In on-ly a mo-ment we both will be old,
We won't ev-en no-tice the world turn-ing cold.
And so, in these mo-ments with sun-light a-bove,
My cup run-neth over with love.
My cup run-neth over with love.
With love.

IN THE GARDEN

Verse 1
I come to the gar-den a-lone,
While the dew is still on the ros-es.
And the voice I hear,
Fall-ing on my ear,
The Son of God dis-clos-es.

Chorus
And He walks with me,
And He talks with me,
And He tells me that I am His own.
And the joy we share,
As we tar-ry there,
None oth-er has ev-er known.

Verse 2
He speaks, and the sound of His voice,
Is so sweet the birds hush their sing-ing.
And the mel-o-dy,
That He gave to me,
With-in my heart is ring-ing.

Chorus
And He walks with me,
And He talks with me,
And He tells me that I am His own.
And the joy we share,
As we tar-ry there,
None oth-er has ev-er known.

Verse 3
I’d stay in the gar-den with Him,
Tho’ the night a-round me be fall-ing.
But He bids me go,
Thru the voice of woe,
His voice to me is call-ing.

Chorus
And He walks with me,
And He talks with me,
And He tells me that I am His own.
And the joy we share,
As we tar-ry there,
None oth-er has ev-er known.

AMAZING GRACE

Verse 1
A-maz-ing grace how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I'm found,
Was blind, but now I see.

Verse 2
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears re-lieved.
How pre-cious did that grace ap-pear,
The hour I first be-lieved.

Verse 3
Thru ma-ny dan-gers, toils and snares,
I have al-read-y come.
'Twas grace that bro't me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

Verse 4
When we've been there ten thou-sand years,
Bright shin-ing as the sun,
We've no less days to sing God's praise,
Than when we first be-gun.

WHO BROKE YOUR HEART

Chorus
Who broke your heart,
And made you write that song?
Ev-er-y time you sing,
I want to cry a-long.
Ev-er-y thing was right,
Un-til your love went wrong.
Who made you write that song?

Verse 1
I re-mem-ber the hap-py tunes,
And the songs that you used to sing.
And mak-ing plans for those wed-ding rings,
But this morn-ing they’re gone.

Why des-pise why she done this wrong,
There’s no need, don't you feel this way,
And you’re leav-ing just mo-ments a-way.
I can tell by your song.

Verse 2
And if you were spe-cial to me,
All the songs that were meant to be,
It’s the same as you’re cheat-ing me,
If you say you’re still wrong.

And you want to a-tract her love,
Af-ter giv-ing me words of trust.
I can see that you still feel so strong,
In the words of your song.

(Repeat and Fade)
Who broke your heart,
And made you write that song?
Ev-er-y time you sing,
I want to cry a-long.
Ev-er-y thing was right,
Un-til your love went wrong.
Who made you write that song?

PLAY ME

Verse 1
She was morn-ing,
And I was night time.
I one day woke up,
To find her ly-ing,
Be-side my bed.
She soft-ly said,
Come take me.

For I've been lone-ly,
In need of some-one.
As though I'd done,
Some-one wrong some-where.
I don't know where,
Come late-ly.

Chorus
You are the sun,
I am the moon.
You are the words,
I am the tune,
Play me.

Verse 2
Song she sang to me,
Song she brang to me.
Words that rang in me,
Rhyme that sprang from me,
Warmed the night.
And what was right,
Be-came me.

Chorus
You are the sun,
I am the moon.
You are the words,
I am the tune,
Play me.

Verse 3
And so it was,
That I came to tra-vel.
Upon a road,
That was thorned and nar-row.
An-oth-er place,
An-oth-er Grace,
Would save me.

Chorus
You are the sun,
I am the moon.
You are the words,
I am the tune,
Play me.

SONG SUNG BLUE

Verse 1
Song sung blue
Eve-ry-body knows one
Song sung blue
Eve-ry gar-den grows one

Me and you are sub-ject to the blues now and then
But when you take the blues and make a song
You sing them out a-gain
Sing them out a-gain

Verse 2
Song sung blue
Weep-ing like a wil-low
Song sung blue
Sleep-ing on my pil-low

Fun-ny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And be-fore you know, start to feel-ing good
You sim-ply got no choice

Verse 3
Song sung blue
Weep-ing like a wil-low
Song sung blue

And be-fore you know, start to feel-ing good
You sim-ply got no choice

Verse 4
Song sung blue
Weep-ing like a wil-low
Song sung blue
Sleep-ing on my pil-low

Fun-ny thing, but you can sing it with a cry in your voice
And be-fore you know, start to feel-ing good
You sim-ply got no choice

When I See Jesus
(Music and Lyrics Written and Arranged by Maury Baggett. No Copyright.)

Verse 1
That a-maz-ing grace that saved poor lost souls,
is just as free to the world to-day,
It's still there for you, Je-sus re-mains true,
if on-ly you will sin-cere-ly pray.

Je-sus shed His blood, as He en-dured pain,
that a foun-tain be op-ened to save,
For all our sins could be plunged in that pool;
our souls se-cured be-yond the grave.

Chorus (Verse 1):
When I see Je-sus, When I see Je-sus,
as I re-joice and look up-on His face,
I’ll praise Him for His sav-ing grace.

Verse 2
On that rug-ged cross, His blood paid the price,
for all count-less sins of you and me,
That we, through His death, could gain the sweet gift,
of life be-yond that crys-tal sea.

In that sweet-est home, with streets of pure gold,
in that joy-ful bliss, we will then sing,
God sits on the throne, no more will we roam,
joy bells through-out that land will ring.

Chorus (Verse 2):
When I see Je-sus, When I see Je-sus,
as I re-joice and look up-on His face,
I’ll praise Him for His sav-ing grace.
(Repeat)
Yes, I'll praise Him for His sav-ing grace.

Endless Love

My Love there's on-ly you in my life;
The on-ly thing that's right;
My first Love.
You're e-ver-y breath that I take;
You're e-ver-y step I make.

And I, I want to share all my love with you;
No one else will do.
And your eyes;
They tell me how much you care.
You will al-ways be;
My End-less Love.

Two hearts,
Two hearts that beat as one;
Our lives have just be-gun.
For-ev-er, I'll hold you close in my arms.
I can't re-sist your charms!

I'll be a fool for you;
I'm sure you know I don't mind.
And yes, you'll be the on-ly one.
'Cause no one can de-ny;
This Love I have in-side.
And I'll give it all to you;
My love,
My End-less Love.

Cycles

So I'm down and so I'm out, so are ma-ny o-thers,
so I feel like tryin' to hide my head 'neath these co-vers.
Life is like the sea-sons, after win-ter comes the spring,
so I'll and stay a-while and see what to-mor-row brings.

I've been told and I be-lieve, that life is meant for livin',
e-ven when my chips are low there's still some left for givin'.
I've been many pla-ces, may-be not as far as you,
so I think I'll stay a-while and see if some dreams come true.

There is-n't much that I have learned through all my foo-lish years,
ex-cept that life just runs in cy-cles; first there's laugh-ter then those tears.
But I'll keep my head up high al-though I'm kind of tired,
my wife just up and left last week, Fri-day I got fired.
You know it's al-most fun-ny, but things can't get worse than now,
but I'll keep on tryin' to sing, but please just don't ask me now.

For The Good Times

Verse 1
Don't look so sad,
I know it's o-ver
But life goes on
And this old world will keep on turn-ing.
Let's just be glad
We had some time to spend to-ge-ther
There's no need to watch the brid-ges
that we're burn-ing.

Chorus
Lay your head
Upon my pil-low.
Hold your warm and ten-der bo-dy
Close to mine.
Hear the whis-per of the rain-drops
Blow-ing soft a-gainst the win-dow.
And make be-lieve you love me.
One more time.
For the good times.

Verse 2
I'll get a-long,
You'll find a-no-ther.
And I'll be here if you should find
You ev-er need me.
Don't say a word
About to-mor-row or for-ev-er.
There'll be time e-nough for sad-ness
When you leave me.

Four Walls

Chorus
Four walls to hear me,
four walls to see.
Four walls to hear me,
clos-ing in on me.

Verse 1
Out where the bright lights are glow-ing,
you're drawn like a moth to a flame.
You laugh while the wine's over-flow-ing,
while I sit and whis-per your name.

Chorus
Four walls to hear me,
four walls to see.
Four walls to hear me,
clos-ing in on me.

Verse2
Some times at night while I'm wait-ing,
but my walls have no-thing to say.
I'm made for love, not for hat-ing,
so here where you left me I'll wait.

One night with you is like hea-ven,
and so while I'm walk-ing the floor.
I lis-ten for steps in the hall-way,
and lis-ten for the knock on the door.

Chorus
Four walls to hear me,
four walls to see.
Four walls to hear me,
clos-ing in on me.
(Repeat)
Clo-sing in on me.

Verse 1:
When I arˆ-rive in Heav-en,
and see Thy glit-ter-ing throne.
And see Thyˆ joy-ous host there,
reˆ-joic-ing in what they’ve won.
And giv-ing praise to Thy Name,
inˆ my new Heav-enly home.

The four andˆ twen-ty El-ders,
while they’re cast-ing forth their crowns.
See-ing Thyˆ face so bril-liant,
I'llˆ shout the new life I've found.
And join them in re-joic-ing,
hearˆ-ing praise all a-round.

Chorus Verse 1:
When I ar-rive in Heav-en,
shout-ing praise for sav-ing grace.
And give to God due glo-ry,
while watch-ing His dear face.
I’ll praise Him for re-veal-ing,
from His grand a-bode a-bove,
His gra-cious cares for His saints
and His A-bound-ing Love.

(Symbol ˆ = omit one note.)

Verse 2:
Iˆ love my car-ing Sav-ior;
He’sˆ more pre-cious than the fame.
Oneˆ may at-tain in this world,
forˆ their get-ting a great name.

Byˆ gain-ing life e-ter-nal,
onˆ Heav-en’s bright shin-ing shore.
Andˆ shar-ing in His glo-ry,
inˆ that life for-ev-er more.

If I canˆ on-ly see Him,
who so free-ly died for me.
That I mayˆ just have the joy,
onceˆ for that feel-ing so free.
And have that great hap-pi-ness,
ofˆ saints that I shall see.

Chorus Verse 2:
When I ar-rive in Heav-en,
shout-ing praise for sav-ing grace.
And give to God due glo-ry,
while watch-ing His dear face.
I’ll praise Him for re-veal-ing,
from His grand a-bode a-bove,
His gra-cious cares for His saints
and His A-bound-ing Love.

How Great Thou Art

Verse 1
Oh Lord, My God, when I in awesome wonder,
consider all the worlds Thy hands have made.
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Chorus:
Then sings my soul, my Savior, God, to thee,
"How great Thou art, how great Thou art!"
Then sings my soul, my Savior, God, to thee,
"How great Thou art, how great Thou art!"

Verse 2
When through the woods, and forest glades I wonder,
and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees.
When I look down, from lofty mountain grandeur,
and hear the brook, and feel the gentle breeze.

Verse 3
And when I think, that God, His Son not sparing,
sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in.
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died, to take away my sin.

Verse 4
When Christ shall come, with shouts of acclamation,
and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration,
and there proclaim, "My God, How great Thou art!"

Verse 1:
I made a vis-it that year
to the town of An-te-quer-a.
Whose na-tives are known for love and ro-mance.
I re-mem-ber such de-light
as I saw you and how my heart sensed the joy of
feel-ing love at first glance.

Chorus (Verse 1)
As I sat a-lone at the win-dow a-bove,
and you passed by my heart was then filled with love.
I knew that night you were the one to al-ways be
the one and on-ly true love for me.

Verse 2:
The first time that I saw you,
I went down-stairs that we might meet.
Oh! How it seems it was meant from a-bove.
And how of-ten I re-call
and feel the joy of that night in An-te-quer-a,
where we first found our love.

Chorus (Verse 2)
It’s joy for me to know you are al-ways there;
to know in my heart that you will al-ways care.
And that I can de-pend on your love to be true;
how I cher-ish the night I found you.

Verse 1
At some place be-yond the heav-ens,
there's great joy for all God's child-ren,
In that fair home so far be-yond the sky.
So much pleas-ure there is wait-ing,
for those who love His sweet Spir-it,
They shall sing and shout His prais-es, by and by.

Chorus
Oh! What won-drous joy is wait-ing,
for all who choose His re-demp-tion,
That His Christ brought to us all to share.
That we might join His bliss-ful host,
to give Him praise while re-joic-ing,
In that glor-ious home of joy ov-er there.

Verse 2:
In a land far be-yond the stars,
there the gold-en harps are ring-ing,
In that ce-les-tial home on that fair shore,
In that most beau-ti-ful ci-ty,
where the an-gels now are sing-ing,
There we shall give our God praise for ev-er more.

Verse 1
As we trav-el in this life all a-lone,
look-ing for one to share with as two doves.
There's on-ly one that I de-sire to share
in life all our pre-cious love.

You're the on-ly one that I rea-lly want to love
and spend our lifes to-ge-ther, and to share
All the joys and all the sor-rows that may come, in this life from the Sav-ior a-bove.

both they are one, as we shall be de-sired,
So then will our love shine out for the whole world to see and be great-ly ad-mired.

of all the ones I have seen be-fore,
You’re the on-ly one that I want to share life with in this world share to shore.
