Lyrics
1. I Made Lemonade
Shoulda-coulda-woulda made big money
Tasted the honey, but I got sour
Bitter situations- great frustrations
But somehow in the eleventh hour
I made lemonade from the lemons You sent me
Lemons You sent me day after day
I made lemonade tho the lemons were plenty
They never could tempt me to fade in the shade
I made lemonade
God, You got a brutal sense of humor
‘t’s like a tumor weighin’ me down
But with the bitter lesson I find sugar
And stir that sweet salvation ‘round
I made lemonade from the lemons You sent me
Lemons You sent me day after day
I made lemonade tho the lemons were plenty
They never could tempt me to fade in the shade
I made lemonade
Sour puss, sour face, whining was my biggest waste of time
Lemons here, lemons there, lemonade is everywhere
It’s mi-ee-i-ee-ine
Ya shoulda-coulda-woulda left my flailing
Barely sailing heart to sink
But You came to the rescue, and what’s best, You
Were so slick that now I think
I made lemonade from the lemons You sent me
Lemons You sent me day after day
I made lemonade tho the lemons were plenty
They never could tempt me to fade in the shade
I made lemonade
2. Joy On
Johnny looks so solemn & somber
He got some big burden he’s So he tunes into W-G-O-D
And he hears him a pretty song:
Trust on- love on- joy on
Trust on- love on- joy on
Johnny pulls into Mackie Dunia’s
Wants some music that feels more like his mood does
But when the Dee Jay plays the same dang tune
Johnny can’t not clap along
Trust on- love on- joy on
Trust on- love on- joy on
Nobody no way could make him feel like that
He’s thinkin’ that maybe the music ain’t so bad
Maybe love ain’t so bad
INSTRUMENTAL
Johnny sees three girls in the shadows
The pony-tailed one blushes and he knows
She’s gonna waltz right, strut right over to me
And say: “Let’s dance to my fav’rite song!”
Trust on- love on- joy on
Trust on- love on- joy on
3. The King of Everything
The rage and the rhapsody- the rock & the roll
The wave of tragedy- that swamps my poor soul
But the smile that’s climbin’ back up from my toes
You have made- all these things
You’re the King- the King- the King
Of Everything
You’re the King- the King- the King
Of Everything
Hated my enemies- You made me feel love
Struggled with poverty- but You gave me enough
Saw my friend on his knees & You said “Pick him up”
You have done- all these things
You’re the King- the King- the King
Of Everything
You’re the King- the King- the King
Of Everything
Friends are dyin’- same age as me
Cyclones draggin’ little kids out to sea
But I think I’m cryin’ ‘cause I believe
You cry too- at all these things
But You bring us through- all these things
You’re the King- the King- the King
Of Everything
You’re the King- the King- the King
Of Everything

5. Right On The Money
In God we trust- In God we trust
It’s on my dollar- and so we must
On my nickel- & on my dime
I guess You’re not- a waste of time
So we could say- yeah we could say
You’re right on the money- every day
Right on the money- in every way
You’re in my pocket, in my spirit, in my soul
I’m gonna love ya til I’m gray & tired & old
Cause You’re right on the money-
Right on the money
I bought some gum- I bought some bread
With metal words- that no one read
But just because- nobody looks
We can’t re-write- them history books
The Founding Fathers- gave You our dollars
You’re right on the money- every day
Right on the money- in every way
You’re in my pocket, in my spirit, in my soul
I’m gonna love ya til I’m gray & tired & old
Cause You’re right on the money-
Right on the money
INSTRUMENTAL
Ya wanna rewrite the books
Cause you think nobody looks
Well I’m watching, and I ain’t as dumb as I looks
Right on the money
We spend it all- we spend it tall
Cause life is rough- w/out all that stuff
We’ve got 2 jobs- OK, three jobs
With all we make- still ain’t enough
Before we spend- a quick Amen, cause
You’re right on the money- every day
Right on the money- in every way
You’re in my pocket, in my spirit, in my soul
I’m gonna love ya til I’m gray & tired & old
Cause You’re right on the money-
Right on the money
6. I'll Find You
I’ve searched the house for the glasses I’m wearing
Turned the key twice to lock the same door
Checked the top shelf for things I spread on the floor
Searched the desk for the notes in my pocket
Read what I wrote but don’t remember what for
So much ocean, my poor boat can’t find the shore
But I kno-o-ow where, yes I kno-o-ow where
Yeah I kno-o-ow where I’ll find You- I’ll find You
Took me eons to know I was searching
Spoken volumes to hear what I’ve said
My heart flows over with things I sought in my head
Still a mystery where I find my patience
How do I keep my poor face from turning red
When it thunders, my courage ain’t under the bed
But I kno-o-ow where, yes I kno-o-ow where
Yeah I kno-o-ow where I’ll find You- I’ll find You
Gonna find You in the gutter- find You in the church
Find You in the best of us, and find You in the worst
Find You in the cradle, find You in the hearse
Find You in the mirror- let me find You in the mirror
So I kno-o-ow where, yes I kno-o-ow where
Yeah I kno-o-ow where I’ll find You- I’ll find You
7. Let's Do This Thing
Let’s do this thing- let’s do this thing
We’ll take our chances, and dance our dances
Let freedom ring, let’s do this thing
Yeah, this divin’ board is high
Feels like we’re in the sky
But listen, Li, I bet- the worst that we will get
Is scared and soakin’ wet
Hey, you’re with me!
Let’s do this thing- let’s do this thing
We’ll take our chances, and dance our dances
Let freedom ring, let’s do this thing
Li- it’s not really a mistake
But your foot’s still on the brake
And Momma waits home, and dinner’s on the stove
So stomp on the one that goes
And let’s be brave
Let’s do this thing- let’s do this thing
We’ll take our chances, and dance our dances
Let freedom ring, let’s do this thing
Li- I didn’t need a ride
But I’m glad you’re by my side
Dr. Conehey says now this treatment usually works
And how much can it hurt
When I hear you say
Let’s do this thing- let’s do this thing
We’ll take our chances, and dance our dances
Let freedom ring, let’s do this thing
8. God In There
If you want an X-BOX- you gotta get a job
If you want a job- you gotta do well in the interview
If you wanna ace the interview- you gotta look her in the eye
When she looks you in the eye- you better hope she sees
Hope she sees God in there
Better hope she sees God in there
Gotta hope she sees God in there, cause
If she sees God in there- you’ll get to do your share
President of Russia- & the President of France
Make peace with a pow wow
Or they could kill it with a glance
So bring on the compliments- like “I like your hair”
Cause if he looks you in the eye- better hope he sees
Hope he sees God in there
Better hope he sees God in there
Gotta hope he sees God in there
If he sees God in there- you’ll get to do your share
Guy in rags- beggin’ with a cup
Sure is stinky- and out of luck
He’s not Jesus- no way, right? (maybe)
If He looks you in the eye- better hope he sees
Hope he sees God in there
Better hope he sees God in there
Well I hope he sees God in there
Cause if he sees God in there- you’ll get to do your share
9. Hug of War
It’s a hug of war, don’t wanna fight anymore
Wanna hold you close to me
It’s a hug of war, don’t wanna fight anymore
Wanna let the weapons be
Boys will be boys- but I’m not a boy anymore
We have our choice- to rise above, to reach for love
It’s a hug of war, don’t wanna fight anymore
Wanna hold you close to me
It’s a hug of war, don’t wanna fight anymore
Wanna let the weapons be
These angry eyes- melt to tears at what I did
Your faith in me died- but I wanna live- let me live
In a hug of war, don’t wanna fight anymore
Wanna hold you close to me
It’s a hug of war, don’t wanna fight anymore
Wanna let the weapons be
INSTRUMENTAL
Gonna rise above- reach for love
In a hug of war, don’t wanna fight anymore
Wanna hold you close to me
It’s a hug of war, don’t wanna fight anymore
Wanna let the weapons be
10. So Beyond It
You are so beyond it, so beyond it
So beyond it, Lord
You are so beyond it, so beyond it
So beyond it, Lord
I’m stuck on my pain- I’m stuck in the rain
I’m stuck in this ocean of foolish pride
I’m bound by this earth- my fears of what I’m worth
I’m bound by the ceiling upon my sky
You are so beyond it, so beyond it
So beyond it, Lord
You are so beyond it, so beyond it
So beyond it, Lord
I’m drowning in tears- I’m starving for cheers
I’m so needy, I don’t know what I need
I’m pressured to win- and I’m scared to begin
I’m worried- if I fight I will surely bleed
But You’re so beyond it, so beyond it
So beyond it, Lord
You are so beyond it, so beyond it
So beyond it, Lord
Lord, bring me so beyond it, let me go so beyond it
On Your wings I’ll be so beyond it
But You’re so beyond it, so beyond it
So beyond it, Lord
You are so beyond it, so beyond it
So beyond it, Lord
(I’m so tired of this life Lord
Where I am is not where I wanna be)
11. I See A Halo
I see a halo up above your head
I see a halo and your wings are spread
I see ya flying high and bold and free
I see a halo- cause you’re like an angel to me
When I was lost- cause someone had died
When I was hurt- cause someone had lied
You were right there- right by my side
You were the shoulder on which I cried
I see a halo up above your head
I see a halo and your wings are spread
I see ya flying high and bold and free
I see a halo- cause you’re like an angel to me
There was a time- when I could barely feel
There was a day- when life seemed unreal
You were right there- your prayer was a shield
When I was scared- you taught me to kneel
I see a halo up above your head
I see a halo and your wings are spread
I see ya flying high and bold and free
I see a halo- cause you’re like an angel to me
--------------------
I see a halo up above your head
I see a halo and your wings are spread
I see ya flying high and bold and free
I see a halo- cause you’re like an angel to me
12. Good 'Ol God
Who forgives you when you’re bad
Gets you gigglin’ when you’re sad?
Good ol’ God- good ol’ God
Who will take you by the hand
Lead you through the barren land
Good ol’ God- good ol’ God
Whoa- oa- oa the only way I know
Whoa-oa-oa ‘s good ol’ God

Who’s the one who says: “I’ll stay!”
Good ol’ God- good ol’ God
Whoa- oa- oa the only way I know
Whoa-oa-oa ‘s good ol’ God
When you tried to rock’n’roll
Who’s the one who gave you soul
Good ol’ God- good ol’ God
Gave you chocolate birthday cakes
Made you learn from your mistakes
Good ol’ God- good ol’ God
Whoa- oa- oa the only way I know
Whoa-oa-oa ‘s good ol’ God
He’s makin’ sure that your mistakes
Get a million second takes
Good ol’ God- good ol’ God
When good fortune waves goodbye
Gives you other fish to fry

Whoa- oa- oa the only way I know
Whoa-oa-oa ‘s good ol’ God
