Lyrics of the album "Second To None" (1984) of Truth.
1: Sing Unto Him
Michael W. Smith
Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon His Name
Make known His deeds among the people
Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon His Name
Make known His deeds among the people
Glory ye in His holy name
Let the hearts of them rejoice that seek the Lord
Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon His Name
Make known His deeds among the people
Sing unto Him, sing unto Him
Sing psalms unto the Lord
Sing unto Him, sing uno Him
Sing psalms unto the Lord, unto the Lord
Sing to Him, sing unto Him, sing unto Him
2: So Full of You
Brent Rowam
I want to be, so full fo You
That there won´t be room
For anything else
But to be, so full fo You
Cause livin´ Your love
Is all I want to do
I guess what I knwe all along
Is finally gettin´ through
The only way to be fulfilled
Is to be, so full of You
If people notice somethin´ different
Than the way things used to be
It´s only there´s more of You
And so much less of me
If they say they want their lives
To be richer too
Help me to show them the only way
Is to be, so full of You
3: Gentle Hands
Geron Davis
Gentle hands holding on to me
Gentle hands guiding me so carefully
Though they lead me down through paths
I don´t always understand
I will never fear, for I´m in gentle hands
Like a little child sometimes it´s hard to see
Just which way I need to go
And what is best for me
But I have a loving Father
Who always understands
And it´s a consolation to know
That I´m in gentle hands
In the darkness of the midnight
It´s so hard to see
But I don´t have to worry
When I know He´s holding me
And guiding me
Gentle hands holding on to me
Gentle hands guiding me so carefully
Though they lead me down through paths
I don´t always understand
I will never fear, for I´m in gentle hands
You don´t have to fear when you´re in gentle hands
4: I´ve Got The Love of The Lord
Dwight Liles & Billy Smiley
I´ve got the love of the Lord
And it´s changing my life
He turned my night into day
Filled my soul with His light
Just like a man who was blind
His sweet love restored my sight
I´ve got the love of the Lord in my life
My riches may not get me far
I could lose them in a day
But I´ve got something in my heart
That can´t be taken away
This love that Jesus gave to me
Is far more precious than gold
It´s greater than all the wealth
This world can hold
It doesn´t matter who I am
It doesn´t matter where I´ve been
For the power of His love
Has started working within´
If you could only look inside
And see the changes He´s made
You´d want to have the love I´ve found
Each step of the way
5: Second To None
Michael W. Smith & Donna McLaughlin-Wyant
I will have no other gods before me
He on bended knee
I will worship and adore Thee
Who else can I turn to
You´re the only one
You´re the onle one
Others seek out temporary pleasure
But here inside your love
Who else can I turn to
You´re the only one
You´re the only one
You´re the second to none
You are the King of Israel
The Holy One
Every knee shall bow
And every tongue confess
You are the highest
The bright morning Son
You are second ton none
You´re second to none
6: Jesus On My Side
Billy Simon & Richard Mullins
Sometimes when the day looks dark
When the storms come rollin´ in
People start to fall apart
Saying life´s too much for them
I can take it´s best and worst
I don´t need to hide, cause I know
I got Jesus on my side
I thank Him for the trials
I thank Him for relief
For through it all I know
That I´ll become more complete
And come to know more love
And come to have abundant life, cause I know
I got Jesus on my side
I got Jesus on my side, I got Jesus on my side
The world can be confusing but I´m not losing sight
As long as I got Jesus on my side
Sometimes when the day looks dark
I want to turn my back and run
But I need to stay and show the love
That You gave us in your Son
So set my face like a flint against the world
Make me face the fight, cause I know
I got Jesus on my side
7: His Name Will Live Forever
Billy Simon & John Randolph Cox
He will be known till the end of all time by His Name
All generations will bow down and honor His Name
All of creation below and above speaks His Name
He is the great "I Am", He will be known by His Name
Voices of praise from His servants boidly proclaim
His Name exalted above every nation
With glory eteneral and high adoration
He reigns forever and ever and so lives His Name
His Name will live forever
His Name will live forever
His Name will live forever
His Name will live forever
Lord God Jehova the Master is known by His Name
King of all Kings in His majesty reigns by His Name
Merciful Father the Lord of forever
The mighty provider and constant defender
He reigns forever in glory and so lives His Name
8: So His Honor
James Ward
For it is my deep desire and my hope is eagerly
That I not be put away to shame at all
But that with perfect boldness, just as I´ve been trying to do
So His honor, so His honor
So His honor may be seen in my body
So His honor may remain in my body
So His honor may be seen, if I Live of if I die
I may even have to die, so His honor may be seen in me
For to me to live is Jesus Christ
And to die would be so much better
For to me to live is Jesus Christ
And to die would be so much better
9: He Is Risen
Gary McSpadden & Billly Smiley
The earth shakes itself from slumber
As the stone is rolled away
The sun breaks through with triumph
As the night is turned to day
The angels sing, heaven shouts
The universe proclaims
The Son of God alive again
Jesus is His Name
He is risen, forevermore
He is risen, He has opened heaven´s door
The chains of death have been released
And we havebeen set free, forevermore
Life bursts forth with victory
As death falls in defeat
Satan´s hold has lost it´s power
God´s plan is now complete
Resurrection power is here
His glory fills the air
Life is now alive again
The heavens will declare
10: Well done
Bill George & Billy Smiley
Well done thou good and faithful one
Well done, blest of the Lord
Well done thou good and faithful one
Come and rest, come and rest in my arms
I know you´re tired
And I know that you are weary
I know that you´ve wanted to give in
But just believe that through the pain
And all the struggle
You can lean on me
Just rest in me
The day will come
When the world will be no longer
Then you´ll see all the things
You´ve longed to see
The day will come
When all the struggles will be over
And on that day
You´ll hear me say
