Gary V's Songs Lyrics
Gary Valenciano
I WILL BE HERE
Tomorrow morning when you wake up
And the sun does not appear
Ah ha-a-ah I, I will be here
If in the dark we lose sight of love
Hold my hand and have no fear
'Cause ah ha-a-ah I, I will be here
Chorus 1:
I will be here
When you feel like being quiet
When you need to speak your mind
I will listen
And I will be here
When the laughter turns to crying
Through the winning, losing and trying
We'll be together
'Cause I will be here
Tomorrow morning if you wake up
And the future is unclear
Ah ha-a-ah I, I'll be here
As sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
So ah ha-a-ah I, I will be here
Chorus 2:
I will be here
You can cry on my shoulder
When the mirror tells us we're older
I will hold you
And I will be here
To watch you grow in beauty
And tell you all the things you are to me
I will be here
Bridge:
I will be true to the promise I have made
To you and to the one who gave you to me
Ooh ooh ooh
Ah ha-a-ah I, I will be here
Coda:
And just as sure as seasons are made for change
Our lifetimes are made for years
'Coz ah ha-a-ah I, & ha-I will be here
We'll be together forever
'Coz I will be here
I will be here
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PEOPLE NEED THE LORD
Everyday they pass me by
I can see it in their eyes
Empty people filled with care
Headed who knows where
On they go through private pair
Living fear to fear
Laughter hides their silent cries
Only Jesus hears
Chorus:
People need the Lord
People need the Lord
At the end of broken dreams
He's the open door
People need the Lord
People need the Lord
When will they realize
People need the Lord
We are called to take His light
To a world where wrong seems right
What could be too great a cost for
Sharing life with one who's lost
Through His love our hearts can feel
All the grief they bear
They must hear the words of life
Only we can share
People need the Lord
People need the Lord
At the end of broken dreams
He's the open door
People need the Lord
When will they realize
That we must give our lives
For people need the Lord
People need the Lord
People need the Lord
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LEAD ME LORD
Lead me Lord, lead me by the hand
And make me face the rising sun
Comfort me through all the pain
That life may bring
There's no other hope
That I can lean upon
Lead me Lord
Lead me all my life
Walk by me, walk by me across
The lonely road that I may face
Take my arms and let your hand
Show me the way
Show the way to live inside your heart
All my days, all my life
Refrain:
You are my light
You're the lamb upon my feet
All the time my Lord
I need You there
You are my light
I (just) cannot live alone
Let me stay
By Your guiding love
All through my life
Lead me Lord
Lead me Lord
Even though at times
I'd rather go alone my way
Help me take the right direction
Take Your road
Lead me Lord
And never leave my side
All my days
All my life
You are my light
You're the lamb upon my feet
All the time my Lord
I need You there
You are my light
I (just) cannot live alone
Let me stay
By Your guiding love
All through my life
All through my days
Lead me, O Lord
Lead me Lord
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WE ARE THE REASON
As little children we would dream of Christmas morn
And all the gifts and toys
We knew we'd find, but we never realized
A baby boy, one blessed night
Gave us the greatest gift of our life
Chorus:
We are the reason that He gave His life
We are the reason Jesus suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
As the years went by, we learned more of our gifts
And giving of ourselves and what they mean
On a dark and cloudy day
A man hung dying in the rain
Because of love, because of love
Because of love
Chorus:
We are the reason that He gave His life
We are the reason why the Lord suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
To live...
To live...
Coda:
Every time I see the cross
I'm reminded that He gave His life
For you and me...
Chorus:
We are the reason that He gave His life
We are the reason Jesus suffered and died
To a world that was lost
He gave all He could give
To show us the reason to live
We are the reason but
He is the reason we live
Thank you, my Jesus
Thank you, Jesus
I thank you, Lord, my Jesus
We thank you, Jesus
For God so saved the world...
(Jesus)
(Thank you)
(You're worthy to be praised..)
(The name above all names)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I BELIEVE
I believe for every drop
Of rain that falls
A flower grows
I believe that somewhere
In the darkest night
A candle glows
I believe for everyone
Who goes astray
Someone will come
To show the way
I believe, oh & I believe
I believe above a storm
The smallest pray'r
Will still be heard
I believe that someone
In that great somewhere
Hears every word
Everytime I hear a newborn baby cry
Or touch a leaf
Or see the sky
Then I know why
I believe (adlibs)
You'll believe if you just try
Oh believe it will take you high
Everytime I hear a newborn baby cry
Or touch a leaf
Or see the sky
Then I know why
I believe (adlibs)

LUPA
RAP:
Kaya't pilitin mong ika'y magbago
Habang my panahon magbago
Pagmamahal sa kapwa ay
Isipin mo't magbago
Nagmula sa lupa
Magbabalik nang kusa
Ang buhay mong sa lupa nagmula
Bago mo linisin
Ang dungis ng iyong kapwa
Hugasan mo 'yong putik sa mukha
At kung ano ang di mo gusto
'Wag gawin sa iba
Kung ano ang iyong inutang
Ay siya ring kabayaran
Sa mundo ang buhay
Ay mayro'ng hangganan
Dahil tayo ay lupa lamang
Refrain:
Kaya't pilitin mong ika'y magbago
Habang may panahon ika'y magbago
Pagmamahal sa kapwa ay isipin mo
(Instrumental)
RAP:
Hindi pa huli ang lahat
May panahon pa para ika'y magbago
Mahalin ang iyong kapwa nang buo mong pagkatao
Iwasan ang lahat ng masamang gawain
Gumawa ka ng mabuti at ika'y pagpapalain
Huwag susuko sa 'yong mga problema
Habang ika'y may buhay may natitirang pag-asa
Matuto kang magpatawad
Huwad kang maging mayabang
Isiping sa ibabaw ng mundo tayo ay lupa lamang
At kung ano ang di mo gusto
'Wag gawin sa iba
Kung ano ang iyong inutang
Ay siya ring kabayaran
Sa mundo ang buhay
Ay mayro'ng hangganan
Dahil tayo ay lupa lamang
Refrain:
Kaya't pilitin mong ika'y magbago
Habang may panahon ika'y magbago
Pagmamahal sa kapwa ay isipin mo
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HINDI KITA MALILIMUTAN
Hindi kita malilimutan
Hindi kita pababayaan
Nakaukit magpakailanman
Sa 'king palad ang 'yong pangalan
Malilimutan ba ng ina
Ang anak na galing sa kanya
Sanggol sa kanyang sinapupunan
Paano niyang matatalikdan
Ngunit kahit na malimutan
Ng ina ang anak niyang tangan
Chorus:
Hindi kita malilimutan
Kailanma'y di pababayaan
Hindi kita malilimutan
Kailanma'y di pababayaan
Hindi kita malilimutan
Kailanma'y di pababayaan
Malilimutan ba ng ina
Ang anak na galing sa kanya
Sanggol sa kanyang sinapupunan
Paano niyang matatalikdan
Ngunit kahit na malimutan
Ng ina ang anak niyang tangan
Chorus:
Hindi kita malilimutan
Kailanma'y di pababayaan
Hindi kita malilimutan
Kailanma'y di pababayaan
Hindi kita malilimutan
Kailanma'y di pababayaan
Hindi kita malilimutan
Kailanma'y di pababayaan
Hindi kita malilimutan
Kailanma'y di pababayaan
Hindi kita malilimutan
Kailanma'y di...
Kailanma'y di...
Pababayaan

MORE THAN WONDERFUL
GIRL:
He promised us that He would be counselor
A mighty God and the Prince of Peace
He promised us that He would be a Father
And He would love us with a love that would not cease
BOY:
Well I tried Him and I found His promises are true
He's everything He said that he would be
The finest words I know could not begin to tell
Just what Jesus really means to me
Refrain:
DUET:
For He's more wonderful than my mind can conceive
He's more wonderful than my heart can believe
He goes beyond my highest hopes and fondest dreams
He's everything that my soul ever longed for
Everything He'd promised and so much more
More than amazing
More than marvelous
More than miraculous could ever be
He's more than wonderful
That's what Jesus is to me
Coda:
BOY:
I stand amazed when I think that the King of Glory
Would come to lie within the heart of man
GIRL:
Oh, I marvel just to know He really loves me
When I think of who He is and who I am
Refrain:
DUET:
For He's more wonderful than my mind can conceive
He's more wonderful than my heart can believe
He goes beyond my highest hopes and fondest dreams
He's everything that my soul ever longed for
Everything He'd promised and so much more
More than amazing
More than marvelous
More than miraculous could ever be
He's more than wonderful
That's what Jesus is to me
Coda:
BOY:
I stand amazed when I think that the King of Glory
Would come to lie within the heart of man
GIRL:

Everything He'd promised and so much more
More than amazing
More than marvelous
More than miraculous could ever be
He's more than wonderful
That's what Jesus is to me

WARRIOR IS A CHILD
Lately I've been winning battles left and right
But even winners can get wounded in the fight
People say that I'm amazing
I'm strong beyond my years
But they don't see inside of me
I'm hiding all the tears
Chorus:
They don't know that I come running home when I fall down
They don't know who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just a while
(Look up for His smile)
'Coz deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child
(Aahhh)
Unafraid because His arrow is the best
But even soldiers need a quiet place to rest
People say that I'm amazing
I never face retreat, oh no
But they don't see the enemies
That lay me at His feet
Chorus:
They don't know that I come running home when I fall down
They don't know who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just a while
(Look up for His smile)
'Coz deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child
(Aahhh)
They don't know that I come running home when I fall down
They don't know who picks me up when no one is around
I drop my sword and cry for just a while
(Look up for His smile)
'Coz deep inside this armor
The warrior is a child
(Aahhh)

LOVE IN ANY LANGUAGE
Je t'aime te amo
Ya tyibya I yublu
Ani ohevet othka
I love you
The sounds are all as different
As the lands from which they came
And though our words are all unique
Our hearts are still the same
Chorus:
Love in any language
Straight from the heart
Pulls us all together
Never apart
And once we learn to speak it
All the world will hear
Love in any language
Fluently spoken here
We teach the young our differences
Yet look how we're the same
We learn to laugh, to dream our dreams
We know the sting of pain
From Leningrad to Lexington
The farmer loves his land
And daddies get all misty eyed
When they give their daughters' hands
And maybe now we realize
How much there is to share
We have too much in common
To pretend it isn't there
Chorus:
Love in any language
Straight from the heart
Pulls us all together
Never apart
And once we learn to speak it
All the world will hear
Love in any language
Fluently spoken here
Bridge:
Though the rhetoric of governments
May keep us worlds apart
There's no misinterpreting
The language of the heart
Chorus:
Love in any language
Straight from the heart
Pulls us all together
Never apart
And once we learn to speak it
All the world will hear
Love in any language
Fluently spoken here
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
LOVE IS THE ANSWER
Name your price
Ticket to paradise
I can't stay here anymore
And I've looked high and low
I've been from shore to shore
If there's a shortcut, I'd have found it
But there's no easy way around it
Chorus:
Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all, set us free
Love is the answer
Who knows why
Someday we all must die
We are hopeless boys and girls
And we are never heard
It's such a lonely, lonely, lonely world
People turn their heads and walk on by
Tell me is it worth just another try
Chorus:
Light of the world, shine on me
Love is the answer
Shine on us all, set us free
Love is the answer
Refrain:
Tell me, are we alive
Or just a dyin' planet
(What are the chances?)
Ask the man in your heart
For the answer
Coda:
And when you feel the pain (love one another)
And when you've lost your way (love one another)
And when you're all alone (love one another)
And when you're far from home (love one another)
And when you're down and out (love one another)
And when your hopes run out (love one another)
And when you need a friend (love one another)
And when you're near the end (love, we've got to love)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HARVEST FOR THE WORLD
All babies together, everyone a seed
Half of us are satisfied, half of us in need
Love's bountiful in us, tarnished by our greed
Oh, when will there be a harvest for the world
A harvest
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Hey
A nation planted, so concerned with gain
As the seasons come and go, greater grows the pain
And far too many, feelin' the strain
Oh, when wil there be a harvest for the world
A harvest
Yeah, yeah
Gather every man, gather every woman
Celebrate your lives, give thanks for your children
Gather everyone (gather everyone)
Gather all together (gather all together)
Overlookin' none (overlookin' none)
Hopin' life gets better for the world
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Oh
Dress me up for the battle, when all I want is peace
Those of ous who pay the price, come home with the least
And nation after nation, turnin' into beasts
Oh, when will there be a harvest for the world
yeah, hey
When will there be
I wanna know now, now
When will there be a harvest (harvest for the world)
When will there be a harvest (harvest for the world)
When will there be a harvest (harvest for the world)
Everybody (harvest for the world)
Oh, talkin' bout the children (harvest for the world)
When will there be a harvest (harvest for the world)
When will there be a harvest (harvest for the world)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THAT'S THE WAY OF THE WOR(L)D
Rap:
Everyday is the same
Same sorrow and pain
We laugh and we cry
We are low and then we get high
And then we look, and we search
And we seek to put the pieces
Of the puzzle together
Doing our best to keep it all together
Going 'bout our business
Seldom thinking of one another
Hey that's not the only way
That's the way of the world
Ooh...Yeah...
(That's the way of the Word)
(That's the way of the Word)
Has there ever been a time
When in your mind
You just felt like giving up
Wanting to surrender
You've been tryin' to find your way
Hopin' that tomorrow would be better
Much better than today
Refrain:
You will find peace of mind
If you look in the right place
You will find your way back home
If you look in the right place
You won't be lost out in the storm
There is a way, the only way
It will see you through today and tomorrow
Just believe it in your heart
Chorus:
(That's the way of the Word)
Haven't you heard about it
(That's the way of the Word)
Haven't you heard
(That's the way of the Word
Ooh...
If you believe
And see with your heart
And then you will know
Yeah...yeah...ooh...ooh
Rap:
It's the way of the Word
You better believe it son
They say it's the year 2000
Judgment day will come
The grand finale, comin' to take you over
It's the King Almighty, please...
Forgive us of our sins
Bless us with all your heart
And give me wisdom so I can preach
All your words to every man, woman
And child walkin' on the streets
I ain't got no beef with all ya wanna be
Ambitious scheming minds
Read the Bible I suggest and you shall find
Who knows what may happen tomorrow
Don't fear if you know who you follow
Takes away your tears and your sorrows
Never will He leave you alone
In your heart is where He'll make His home
Takes away your tears and your sorrows
Who knows what tomorrow may bring
Fear not if you follow the King
He takes away your tears and your sorrows
Rap:
Keeping it high
Clapping my hands, look in my eye
Am I telling a lie? No, Let's keep it real
We've come together on this special day
To sing our message loud and clear
Looking back we've touched on sorrowful days
Future pass, they disappear
Refrain:
You will find peace of mind
If you look in the right place
You will find your way back home
If you look in the right place
You won't be lost out in the storm
There is a way, the only way
It will see you through today and tomorrow
Just believe it in your heart
Chorus:
(That's the way of the Word)
Haven't you heard about it
(That's the way of the Word)
Haven't you heard
(That's the way of the Word
Ooh...
If you believe
And see with your heart
And then you will know
That's the way of the Word
That's the way of the Word
That's the way of the Word...

THAT'S WHY
Why, why?
'Cause I'm the type of guy
Who believes in a Spirit I can't see with my eyes
You can't deny, even if you try
The one who created you, the earth and the sky
I'm a baptized disciple, so I shall not tell a lie
I've got the Holy Spirit, now I'm flyin' high
Now while I'm rippin' a record take a second
Do me a favor (make the Lord Jesus Christ your saviour)
Yes, I must confess, I had a lot of stress
On my chest - I was a mess
But now I'm blessed
By the Lord Jesus Christ being in my life
Now I'm a whole new guy
Go tell 'em that's why
Refrain:
Maybe you've seen the change - that's why
Things are not the same - that's why
Things just happen when you call upon His name - that's why
Maybe you want the change - that's why
Maybe you want the same - that's why
Maybe you'd better call upon His name
Yeah
Bridge:
So light (so light), so free
That's what I feel now, that I've got the Lord in me
So right (so right), so real
Nothing in the world can make me feel
What I'm feeling now
Now it's time, time to open up
Your heart and your mind
That's why I'm here bustin' this rhyme
So can you hear me?
(Just tryin' to save your soul)
Well can you feel me?
(Let the Lord take control)
Then the life you think will be eternal
Instead it's gonna be inside hell's inferno
Now get it straight, don't wait
Hesitate or procrastinate
The Lord's comin' back, don't wait
So light (so light), so free
That's what I feel now, that I've got the Lord in me
Maybe you've seen the change - that's why
Things are not the same - that's why
Things just happen when you call upon His name - that's why
Maybe you want the change - that's why
Maybe you want the same - that's why
Maybe you'd better call upon His name
Yeah
So light (so light), so free
That's what I feel now, that I've got the Lord in me
So right (so right), so real
Nothing in the world can make me feel
What I'm feeling now
Just for you, He'll be with you eternally
A wink, a wink in time
A soul-searching voice saying
"You're the only one for me"
(Instrumental)
So light (so light), so free
That's what I feel now, that I've got the Lord in me
So right (so right), so real
Nothing in the world can make me feel
What I'm feeling now
Jesus...Jesus...
Nothing in the world...
Jesus...Jesus...
No other love like
Jesus...
That's why...that's why
Nothing in the world can make me feel like what I'm feelin'...
That's why...that's why
Things are not the same
If you want the change
Call upon his name...
Gary Valenciano with additional rap lyrics by Novacaine/Daiichi Music & Publishing

HES ENOUGH
So just throw your hands in the air
And wave them from side to side
And if you confess that Jesus Christ is Lord
Somebody scream "alright"
Let me see, let me see
Nothing can compare to his grace
And his glory, end of story
He's enough for me and should be enough for you
So act like you know 'coz if you don't here's a clue
From the beginning to the middle til the end
He'll always be your friend
Every time you take him into battle with you, you win
That's on the real knock, brother, there is no other
So never put your faith in another
Yeah you know that Jesus is enough
Yeah you know that Jesus is enough
So many people in the world try to lie and deceive us
You know full well that they need Jesus
You deadly mistaken if you waste your time
And follow Satan
He don't love you, he's just fakin'
Satan's always tryin' to make us be untrue
So listen to me now it's what you gotta do
Put on your full armor
Don't let him be a charmer
Say, "Satan, get behind me!" he can never harm me
Yeah you know that Jesus is enough
Yeah you know that Jesus is enough
So what you out there tryin' to discover
Tell me can you tell me can you find something better
From the beginning to the middle to the end
He'll always be your friend
Everytime you take him into battle with you, you win
That's on the real knock, brother, there is no other
So never put your faith in another
When times get rough you just gotta hang tough
I'm here to let you know Jesus Christ is enough
When times get rough you just gotta hang tough
Take my advice, Jesus Christ is enough
Yeah you know that Jesus is enough
