EARLY IN THE MORNING (Once in a Lifetime, Odyssey)

Once a good young King came by
Early in the morning
Hope soared nearly to the sky
Early in the morning
Yet that first hope nearly died
With so little warning
The good young King was crucified
Early in the morning

In the stone cold tomb He lay
Early in the morning
Laid with Him the hope of day
Early in the morning
Saints and angels fearful, pray
Yearning for a dawning
Breaking on the silent grave
Early in the morning

Alleluia
O the bright dawn breaks
Alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia
O the sweet King wakes
Alleluia, alleluia

Long the anxious claws had gripped
Early in the morning
Now vanquished claws have slipped
Early in the morning
How the bragging dragon trips
Head, so high, now fawning
Mouth, denied, forever drips
Early in the morning

Alleluia
Empty claws proclaim
Alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia
Now the good King reigns
Alleluia, alleluia

Steady in the waning night
Early in the morning
Risen Morning Star our light
Early in the morning
Dragons breed again to fight
Fearful is their taunting
Yet, we trust, Lord, thy great might
Early in the morning

Alleluia
Saints and angels sing
Alleluia, alleluia
Alleluia
Praise the risen King
Alleluia, alleluia

EVERYBODY NEEDS A LITTLE HELP (Everybody Needs a Little Help, Chronology, Word Marquee Collection)

Words & Music by David Meece 
Copyright 1979  Meece Music (admin by)WORD Music

I heard the news about you
A little while ago
I tried to call but you weren't at work
I'm glad I caught you at home.

No one else in this whole wide world
Could mean as much as you to me
So I thought I'd drop by for a little while
In case you needed a friend.

Chorus: Everybody needs a little help to get their life together
(And you're no exception)
Everybody needs another hand that they can hold onto.
Everybody needs a little help to get their life together
And I want to give it to you.

You can cry if you need to
You know I'll understand
You can tell me everything that you feel inside
Don't you hold it in.

Don't you worry, don't apologize
For anything you do or say
'Cause what are friends for but to be around
When you're feeling that way.

(Repeat chorus)

Lord I pray to You
But sometimes I doubt You’re there
Lord I wait for you
But You’re silence seems unfair

I want to find You
Walk beside You
Show me the way

Every little step that I take
Lead me on to see Your face
Every little breath that I breathe
Flow - flow Your river through me
Every little think that I do
Let it only deepen my faith in You
Every little step that I take

Like a father’s hand
You pull me to my feet
I know You understand
You’re strong - my body’s weak
Touch the child in me
Open my eyes to see
Show me the way

Every little step that I take
Lead me on to see Your face
Every little breath that I breathe
Flow - flow Your river through me
Every little thing that I do
Let it only deepen my faith in You
Every little step that I take

Though Your hand’s unseen
And I can’t hear You speak
In the little things
You reveal Yourself to me

It’s a long hard climb
I need to know You’re by my side
All the time

Every little step that I take
Lead me on to see Your face
Every little breath that I breathe
Flow - flow Your river through me
Every little thing that I do
Let it only deepen my faith in You
Every little step that I take
