THIS WORLD IS NOT MY HOME Alfred E Brumley Arranged by Lisa Winter This world is not my home I'm just passin' through My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue The angels beckon me from heaven's open door This world just ain't my home anymore They're all expecting me and that's one thing I know My savior pardoned me and now onward I go I know he'll take me through Though I am weak and poor This world just ain't my home anymore O Lord I have no friend like you If heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do The angel's beckon me from heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore ,anymore Just up in glory land we'll live eternally The saints on every hand will shout the victory Their song of sweetest praise Drifts back from heaven's shore This world just ain't my home anymore O Lord I have no friend like you If heaven's not my home, then Lord what will I do? The angel's beckon me from heaven's open door And I can't feel at home in this world anymore , anymore Home, I'm going home Home, I'm going home Home, I'm going home

LIKE NO OTHER Lisa Winter You’d really love her She’s like no other She fills the spaces all around With so much love that joy abounds She’s empathetic And finds her treasure In lifting burdens with her smile Until you think you’re miles high She thinks she’s lucky but I know She’s the most lovely giving soul I always count my blessings twice To know her smile, her love, her laugh, her touch Her light is so bright And there is no time For anything that’s less than kind You can see it in her eyes She’s always willing To help, jumps right in She wouldn’t want to miss a thing And I can’t help but wondering If she’s an angel or a saint I couldn’t ever really say I want to be right by her side To see her smile, her love, her laugh, her touch I just wouldn’t want to let her down Just to know her love is so profound I would walk for miles Just to see her smile Oh the joy that rings Every time she laughs it makes me sing She’s really patient Just think of Rachel And when the hurricane comes in She’s the first to draw you in Enthusiastic? She is fantastic! She doesn’t doubt you will achieve Her confidence makes you believe I’ve never seen the face of fear Just courage pouring out in cheer There’s not one thing I wouldn’t try When she smiles, and loves, and laughs, her touch When she smiles, and loves, and laughs, her touch Yeah yeah, yeah,….

Carry Me 05:28
Carry Me Lisa Winter I can feel you standing here And I know you heard my prayer To carry me if only for today You’re the strength I need to stay Faithful, thankful, and watchful to pray. Humble, holy, and willing to change. Oh Lord, carry me. Sometime I sit and wonder how I ever got this far I think you must have carried me When I deserved it least The shackles of burdens Aren’t weighing me down How heavy the thorns must Have felt on your brow Oh Lord, carry me now Carry me, for a while Carry me, through evening tide Carry me, oh and never let me go You’re the only peace I’ve ever known So often darkness presses in And I respond in vain Still you choose to pardon me And carry all the blame But the bondage of weakness Can’t keep me in chains How painful were the stakes When pierced through your veins? Oh Lord carry me Carry me, for a while Carry me through evening tide Carry me, oh and never let me go You’re the only peace I’ve ever known Carry me and let me stay In your arms today Carry me, and let me stay In your arms today Ooh..ooh carry me, carry me, carry me.

You Can Tell 04:09
YOU CAN TELL Lisa Winter You can tell by the ring on her finger That she only married for love You can tell by the way he speaks of her That she's still the one he's dreaming of And the gift they possess Is the present at rest It is well, they're in love You can tell You can tell that they speak their own language By a look or a touch that they share Through the stories that tested their patience Or their joy in an unanswered prayer But the tales always end With a humble amen It is well, they're in love You can tell Love can define you, Grafting in with grace The scars that it's blind to Heal and slowly fade away He will tell you that he wasn't perfect Repents of the pain that he caused In her version she is quite certain That the Lord had a plan and a call And together they fall On their knees through it all For they believe it is well You can tell Every time the story ends Each one's the other's hero then They kiss again And you can feel the tenderness Like rolling thunder in your chest As tears swell cause You can tell Love can define you Grafting in with grace The scars that it's blind to Heal and slowly fade away Love will refine you Grafting in with grace The scars that it's blind to Heal and slowly fade away It is well, love is good There is hope you can tell It is well, this is love You can tell

ROADKILL CAFE Lisa Winter Someday I'd like to play At the Roadkill, Roadkill Cafe I'm gonna step on the gas And I ain't lookin' Cause my home's in these strings anyway Well, I have roamed far and wide Comin' in with the tide and I'll chase all my dreams 'til I die Cause you know someday I'd like play at the Roadkill Cafe I was driving down the highway On the 401, I was just about to Windsor When I noticed something To my right "Tonight Live Music" At the Roadkill Cafe So I caught up with the owner Just my luck he's in Hey, we got a cancellation Maybe you'd fill in But we'd only like your music If you've got something to say Well I do and so I said You know I play to the rhythm Of a different drum But this melody's a catchin' You can get you some You can quote me verbatim Looks like my someday has come Someday I'm gonna to play At the Roadkill, Roadkill Cafe I'm gonna step on the gas And I ain't lookin' Cause my home's in these strings anyway Well, I have roamed far and wide Comin' in with the tide And I'll chase all my dreams 'til I die Cause you know someday I'd like play at the Roadkill Cafe Like a steam locomotive Gaining momentum Like a finger on the trigger of a loaded gun There ain't nothin' between us This song and this strum We are over the rainbow We are having some fun Cause it's the day I get to play at that Roadkill Cafe Someday I'd like to play At the Roadkill, Roadkill Cafe Gonna step on the gas And I ain't lookin' Cause my heart's in these strings anyway Well I have roamed far and wide Comin' in with the tide And I'll chase all my dreams 'til I die And you know someday I'm gonna play at the Roadkill Cafe So I'm playin' at the cafe and Imagine my surprise When in walks a detective And these paparazzi spies Wantin' to know if I sing covers Of some other famous guys Well it's a fine ultimatum to sing or die And if you speak my language You are welcome to ride To deliver the message That my someday has arrived (don't you know) Someday I'd like to play At that Roadkill, Roadkill Cafe I'm gonna step on the gas And I ain't lookin' Cause my home's in these strings anyway Well I have roamed far and wide Comin' in with the tide And I'll chase all my dreams 'til I die Cause you know someday I'm gonna play at the Roadkill Cafe So they changed the name last summer To the alibi You can show up incognito Play your music live Seems the sheriff hunt musicians Wanted dead or alive And that's the story of the day I got to play at the Roadkill, Roadkill Cafe
