1.	Secure In Heart 03:32	lyrics	buy track
Secure In Heart Words and music by Julie Kinscheck c.2007 INTRO: Insecure, so insecure, I can be so insecure, so insecure CHORUS: (But I wanna be) Secure in Heart I wanna be Secure in Heart I wanna be Secure in Heart How can I be Secure in Heart VERSE: I have walked for miles to find me Once or twice I thought “I’m there” But then I find myself looking behind me Telling myself “I’m not scared” Sometimes my past can haunt me What if they can’t see I’ve changed And what if it’s true- I’m really the same Then I feel that inner shame CHORUS: (But I wanna be) Secure in Heart... VERSE: I can act the part- so confident Sometimes I even fool myself But as soon as I get a small critique I fight not to retreat to my shell Then there’s the other side- My ugly pride Trying to prove that I’m good enough When it all comes down to the truth I just wanna be loved! CHORUS: (But I wanna be) Secure in Heart... BRIDGE: Did I say too much? Or should I have said more? Should I travel down that road? Or will I fail like I did before? Is there a place where I can rest my weary worried soul? Lord, please let me know! TRANS BRIDGE: Insecure, so insecure, I can be so insecure, so insecure CHORUS: (But I wanna be) Secure in Heart... (Repeat)

A Little Time Words and music by Julie Kinscheck c. 1994 VERSE: A child is like a seed not knowing right from wrong Flying on the winds of change Till one day that seed is sown I’m watching while God tends it With cleansing rains and light To grow into a beauty it takes me It takes a little time CHORUS: I’m A LITTLE TIME Catch me now I’m movin’ fast A LITTLE TIME Before I am your past VERSE: When the big time makes your heart rush But never seems to come You’re working every minute But can’t seem to get things done What will it take to taste your dreams The apple of your eye Take trusting God with patience, it takes me I’m A LITTLE TIME CHORUS: I’m A LITTLE TIME... BRIDGE: You lost your Pa last winter Deep pain in your chest Mama says she can’t go on And tempers flair- to loose the stress Your searching for the answers And you’re reaching for the wine I’ll heal you if you’ll let me- take me I’m A LITTLE TIME VERSE: I make your hands grow withered And get the job done well You’ll see me in each baby born Hear me in each wedding bell God made me your partner We travel side by side I’ll be here when you need me I’m A LITTLE TIME DOUBLE CHORUS

Grace Words and Music by Julie Kinscheck c. 2000 Verse: I didn’t mean for it- to cause you pain I didn’t mean for it- To cause a strain on our relationship But I’m only human I’m bound to make mistakes I’m not making excuses I just know what it takes – I need: Chorus: Grace --- from you I need grace---- Verse: I didn’t mean for it- to cause anxiety I didn’t mean to lose my priorities I want you to feel like The king of your castle And I want to be your Most devoted vassal- that’s why I need: Chorus: Grace --- from you I need grace---- (Solo Section) I don’t deserve it You drank the cup for my sake But each time I stumble I humbly seek your face- I need: Chorus: Grace --- from you I need grace---- Chorus: Grace --- from you I need grace----

COFFEE SONG Words and music by Julie Kinscheck c. 1994 There’s something here brewing and it isn’t just the coffee, Boy! Because you’re giving me a cup of joy The cats can’t spill Oh, Oh No! No Sweet-n-Low! This sugar is as real as can be! Because it’s pulsing in my bloodstream Better than my morning kick of caffeine And it’s going down smooth like a sweet cup of café’ O Lay! And it’s romantic as a river in France The way you’re washin’ my heart away Oh, hold off on the espresso! ‘Cause, Babe, I think I’m gettin’ a buzz! ‘Cause, Honey! I think we’re fallin’ in love! (Solo Break) There’s something here brewing and it isn’t just the coffee, Boy! Because you’re giving me a cup of joy The cats can’t spill Oh, Oh No! No Sweet-n-Low! This sugar is as real as can be! Because it’s pulsing in my bloodstream Better than my morning kick of caffeine And it’s going down smooth like a sweet cup of café’ O Lay! And it’s romantic as a river in France The way you’re washin’ my heart away Oh, hold off on the espresso! ‘Cause, Babe, I think I’m gettin’ a buzz! ‘Cause, Honey! I think we’re fallin’ in love! Don’t look now ‘cause- I THINK WE’RE FALLIN’ IN LOVE!

Always Kiss Good Night Words and music by Julie (Gibbons) Kinscheck c. 1993 VERSE: Some folks fall in love today Then like wilted flowers- they toss that gift away In a world where most don’t make it through Love white dresses serve as preludes to the blues PRECHORUS 1: How can we keep forever the love now in your eyes Here’s what an old lady told me Her old man, he was standing there right by her side (I think she was wise) she said… CHORUS: ALWAYS KISS GOOD NIGHT- No matter what was said, Hold her in your arms- before you rest your head Always build him up- and trust Him with your lives Your sun will never set- when you ALWAYS KISS GOOD NIGHT! VERSE 2: Once I loved then it was gone Like a melody somehow gone sour- on once my favorite song But God restored my faith in love- It can last forever- if you dare to give enough PRECHORUS 2: We are not children- we can’t change what came before So hold onto the vision- of what this bond is for You’ll be all right!- If you… CHORUS: ALWAYS KISS GOOD NIGHT -No matter what was said, Hold him in your arms- before you rest your head Always build her up- and trust Him with your lives Your sun will never set- when you ALWAYS KISS GOOD NIGHT! BRIDGE:Life may be crazy- The phone be ringin’ mad Children may be cryin’- The money be real bad But we’ve still got each other- So we’ve got nothing to fear Just hold on tight! CHORUS: ALWAYS KISS GOOD NIGHT- No matter what was said, Hold me in your arms- before you rest your head I’ll always build you up- and we’ll trust Him with our lives Our sun will never set- if we never will forget- To ALWAYS KISS GOOD NIGHT!
6.	Get in the Water 04:51	lyrics	buy track
GET IN THE WATER Words and music by Julie Kinscheck c.1993 VERSE: You know what they say about the preacher's daughter Wilder than a Timber Wolf in Spring Runs with the pack when it suits her fine But she's an independent mischief-maker most of the time You just try to tame her once you've caught her Well I'm a sprout of clergy from each corner My Aunts and my Uncles, my Dad and dear Grampa I could accept the choices they made- But don't you rain on my parade You could get me to church but you couldn't make me CHORUS: Get in the Water! Put on Christ as mine Drink the wine Thank Him for His grace Break the bread Accept that he forgave me And that the wonder of His love sent Him to His death VERSE: Well I went plumb hog wild when I left high school I lived that double life of which I was proud I'd dress up nice and put a bun in my hair Then sneak out at night and play guitar in the square It took a while before they caught me breakin' rules Well, men to me were like to cannon fodder Fire me up then shoot off with a bang Tears ran down my anguished face 'Cause I was lookin' for love in every wrong place Why didn't someone help me then? CHORUS: Get in the Water… BRIDGE: Jesus was waiting to save my lonely soul Jesus was waiting to take me home Jesus was waiting- reaching out His holy hand Jesus was waiting- but I didn't understand! SCAT SOLO VERSE: Well, Life became a constant teeter-totter The last straw came when my fiancé’ said, "Chow" I tried to focus on my career But I fell flat on my darier My heart grew harder than Gibraltar Then the Timber Wolf inside began to falter I dropped my foolish pride, fell on my knees Then an angel came from up above To teach me a lesson about God's love You couldn't hold me back now you hear! Everybody now! CHORUS: Get in the Water....

(VERSE) At work I am a lady- Try to do my best Try to keep my patience when life puts me to the test But deadline make me anxious And stress can take its toll I pray to God to somehow keep me whole (CHORUS) Oh, Martha, Martha… (VERSE) I’ve friends I need to care for- relationships take time My family needs their dinner- gotta meet someone by 9 Gotta make myself attractive Or tell me how can I find love I pray to know that somehow God’s enough! (BRIDGE) Oh Father, Holy Father! There’s so much I wanna do! Lead me, Father, Lead me! I so desperately need you! Hold me, Father, Hold me!

American Memory Words and music by Julie Kinscheck c. 2001 In honor of those who lost loved ones September 11th, 2001 VERSE: Where were you on the fateful day in 1999? Where were you when you heard the news – that children died at Columbine? Were you finishing the dishes or sittin’ at your desk? In the car on the way to the shopping mall Or puttin’ the baby to bed? PRECHORUS 1: Did you think that America would never be the same after that day? Were you outraged, were you shocked? Or did you just feel the pain? CHORUS: None of us is promised tomorrow So we’ve got to make the best of today Love like we may not ever get another chance Fill our lives with laughter- don’t forget to dance None of us is promised tomorrow Say sorry very quickly and give to those in need ‘cause we can’t take it with us When we go to meet our God In the face of tragedy- we build unity- AN AMERICAN MEMORY VERSE 2: Where were you on the fateful day in 2001 When terror stuck New York and attacked the Pentagon Were you teaching precious children or on the internet Were you watching on the TV scenes you wish you could forget? PRECHORUS 1: Did you think that America would never be the same after that day? Were you outraged, were you shocked? Or did you just feel the pain? CHORUS: None of us is promised tomorrow… BRIDGE: Let’s make a memory right now! Americans hand in hand in prayer with faces bowed- Comforting all those who mourn- together we stand proud! In tragedy we build unity- In tragedy we build unity- In tragedy we build unity- AN AMERICAN MEMORY!
