I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS


I WANT TO KNOW WHAT LOVE IS


(Mariah Carey)

I gotta take a little time 
A little time to think things over 
I better read between the lines 
In case I need it when I'm older 

In my life there's been heartache and pain 
I don't know if I can face it again 
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far 
To change this lonely life 

I wanna know what love is 
I want you to show me 
I wanna feel what love is 
I know you can show me 

I'm gonna take a little time 
A little time to look around me 
I've got nowhere left to hide 
It looks like love has finally found me 

In my life there's been heartache and pain 
I don't know if I can face it again 
I can't stop now, I've traveled so far 
To change this lonely life 

I wanna know what love is 
I want you to show me 
I wanna feel what love is 
I know you can show me 

I wanna know what love is 
I want you to show me 
And I wanna feel, I want to feel what love is 
And I know, I know you can show me 

Let's talk about love 
I wanna know what love is, the love that you feel inside 
I want you to show me, and I'm feeling so much love 
I wanna feel what love is, no, you just cannot hide 
I know you can show me, yeah



" Without You"


" Without You"


A hundred days have made me older
Since the last time that I saw your pretty face
A thousand lies have made me colder
And I don't think I can look at this the same

But all the miles that separate
Disappear now when I'm dreaming of your face

I'm here without you, baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you, baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you, baby

But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight it's only you and me, yeah.

The miles just keep rollin'
As the people leave their way to say hello
I've heard this life is overrated
But I hope that it gets better as we go, oh, yeah, yeah

I'm here without you, baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you, baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you, baby

But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight, girl, its only you and me

Everything I know, and anywhere I go (oh whoa)
It gets hard but it won't take away my love (oh whoa)
And when the last one falls
When it's all said and done
It gets hard but it won’t take away my love, whoa, oh, oh

I'm here without you, baby
But you're still on my lonely mind
I think about you, baby
And I dream about you all the time
I'm here without you, baby

But you're still with me in my dreams
And tonight, girl, it's only you and me

The Wedding at Cana

John 2
New Living Translation (NLT)
The Wedding at Cana
The next day there was a wedding celebration in the village of Cana in Galilee. Jesus’ mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples were also invited to the celebration. The wine supply ran out during the festivities, so Jesus’ mother told him, “They have no more wine.”
“Dear woman, that’s not our problem,” Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come.”
But his mother told the servants, “Do whatever he tells you.”
Standing nearby were six stone water jars, used for Jewish ceremonial washing. Each could hold twenty to thirty gallons. Jesus told the servants, “Fill the jars with water.” When the jars had been filled, he said, “Now dip some out, and take it to the master of ceremonies.” So the servants followed his instructions.
When the master of ceremonies tasted the water that was now wine, not knowing where it had come from (though, of course, the servants knew), he called the bridegroom over. 10 “A host always serves the best wine first,” he said. “Then, when everyone has had a lot to drink, he brings out the less expensive wine. But you have kept the best until now!”
11 This miraculous sign at Cana in Galilee was the first time Jesus revealed his glory. And his disciples believed in him.

12 After the wedding he went to Capernaum for a few days with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples.

LITTLE VOICE INSIDE

 

Little Voice Inside

(Jaci Velasquez)

Oh oh oh oh
Father do you hear me? 
’cause I know I hear you.
I waited for the answers
While sitting here in my room.
Oh, I danced to the rhythm
And moved by myself.
No one could see through me
Or hear the words I felt.

Little voice inside keeps calling,
Little voice inside me cries,
Little voice inside keeps calling.
Little voice - oh won’t you be my guide? 

I sometimes hear the echo,
Oh, the pattern of my cry.
I sometimes feel the pulling
From a sound that’s deep inside.
Oh, quiet are the whispers
And silent are my eyes.
No one hears but me
That little voice inside, you see

Little voice inside keeps calling,
Little voice inside me cries,
Little voice inside keeps calling.
Little voice - oh won’t you be my
Little voice inside keeps calling,
Little voice inside me cries, oh

Oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Little voice inside
Little voice inside
Little voice inside
Little voice inside
Little voice inside keeps calling
Little voice inside me cries
Little voice inside keeps calling
Little voice oh - won’t you be my guide? (little voice inside)

Little voice inside
Little voice inside (little voice inside)
Little voice inside, oh la la la la la
Little voice inside, oh la la la la la
Little voice inside, oh la la la la la
Little voice inside
Little voice inside
Father, do you hear me? oh oh...
