    HE’S COMIN’ Written by Susan Yunek (BMI) & Brad Yunek (BMI/copyright Brad Yunek 2004) (208) 263-1893 BradYunek@sandpoint.net www.BradYunek.com Verse 1 Many long years ago there lived a man He spoke in such ways that many did not understand He talked of His Father above He talked often of truth and love He’s known by the sign of a dove This Jesus from Galilee Chorus And He’s comin,’ comin’ back this way Said He’s comin’, He’s gettin’ closer every day Don’t let your light grow dim, be faithful unto Him Jesus is comin’ back again Instrumental Verse 2 Throughout His life here He moved from place to place He reached to the hearts of men meeting them face to face He told them of things that would be Things they would do and things they would see And of a place called Calvary Oh but, He’d live again Chorus Tag Jesus is comin’ back again Spoken- …There will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth dismay among nations, in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. Then they will see The Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these things begin to take place, straighten up and lift up your heads, because your redemption is drawing near… (Luke 21: 25-28 NASB) Chorus Tag Jesus is comin’ back again, oh Jesus is comin’ back again

    Dreamin’ Written by Brad Yunek/ Brad Yunek©2021 (208) 263-1893 BradYunek@sandpoint.net www.BradYunek.com Verse Are we really here? Can I trust what I see? Are you the one I’ve been dreamin’ about, or am I still dreamin’? For too many years I’ve fought hard to believe That you were out here somewhere, and that you were dreamin’ of me Seems like a lifetime of waiting for you Never sure if this dream would come true Chorus Dreams have their ways of makin’ life sweeter I think it’s safe to say they have their own sense of time As I look in your eyes, I’ve become a believer I believe that some dreams do come true I believe this one led me to you And I believe in my heart that we’ve got more dreamin’ to do Verse So, with your hand in mine And our faces to the sun Let’s run like two kids would run, as we chase this brand-new horizon Morning light fills your eyes Anticipation has begun Let’s throw all caution to the wind, just to see what all this becomes Let your heart dance with my heart today Sweet dreams are only two heartbeats away Chorus Bridge They are far from our reach, yet close when we sleep Searching for times, those special moments When dreams become real, like spokes in a wheel They do their part keeping our lives in motion Chorus Tag Are we really here?

Put your toys away, are the chores all done? You two get in for dinner. Settle down, wash your hands, tell your mother who’s the winner (back to male vocal) As the boys came in with their dirty grins, their day was all but gone Jack says to Johnny… (male child’s voice) Tomorrow I’m Sheriff Ron (back to male vocal) chorus

I’d be incomplete and wasted, a man who lived without I would not have seen the sunrise Monday mornin’ And I would not have smelled your hair as the sun was risin’ Chorus You take what’s broken, touch it softly, and make it better You’re the stream of light that keeps on pushing, gently breaking through Into the darkest room Verse 2 And if I had never met you, where would I be now? I’d be searching, lost, and aimless, not knowing when, or how I’d be looking for my happy ending story I’d be staring down the broken road before me Chorus Bridge You came into my life and saved me From my wicked self and gave me A reason to believe that there might be a bigger plan All my fingers ache to play you Both my arms have got to hold you We will make sweet music like this Fender in my hands Instrumental Tag If I had never met you, who would I be now?

The note here says that we’ve got thirty days” Verse 2: The gavel came in four weeks time The Deere and trucks were set out on the line All the stock were pushed up in the pens The auctioneer yelled, “Let’s begin!” Hands and numbers in the air from all the people who had gathered there Neighbors who had come from near and far Chorus: Hard times, tender people The hardness of the day, it was more than we could bear The end in sight, short and simple All we’d have left from the hard times, were tender people Verse 3: We stood there and saw it go Neighbors bought, all was sold Daddy knew the end was near Mama couldn’t see for all her tears Piece by piece to satisfy a hole too deep, debt too high How could we know the way this thing would end?

    IT AIN’T EASY Words & music by Brad Yunek (Copyright Brad Yunek/2004) BMI 206 Brittany Loop Sandpoint, ID 83864 (208) 263-1893 bradyunek@sandpoint.net www.bradyunek.com Member of Global Songwriters Connection Verse 1: Out the door and off to work, it’s been the same for nearly fifteen years Word comes down as he clocks in; the plant is set to close before next year He doesn’t have a clue what he will do But there’s a still small voice speakin’ to his heart, “Son you’ll make it through” Chorus: Life’s about changin’, makin’ plans and rearrangin’ We watch the pieces come together, sometimes the pieces fall apart There’s a little bit of beauty in most everything I see Life’s a miracle, but it ain’t easy Verse 2: Nine months of anxious wait and there are tears of grief instead of joy The doctor says he did his best, he doesn’t hold much hope for their baby boy They took him home and loved him through the pain After three wheel chairs and a lot of prayer, he graduates today Chorus: Bridge: We push it and we chase it, hate it then embrace it No matter how it turns out we want more We simply start at the beginnin’ and do the best with what we’re given If we fail to make a difference, tell me what’s the livin’ for? What's it for? Chorus: Tag: It ain’t easy, it ain’t easy

    Wow Written by Nancy Watson (SOCAN) & Brad Yunek (BMI) 1356 Upper Gold Creek Sandpoint, ID 83864 208-263-1893 bradyunek@sandpoint.net www.bradyunek.com (Copyright 2013/Nancy Watson & Brad Yunek) Verse 1 When I see a mornin’ sunrise streakin’ orange across the sky Listen to a song so touching it makes me wanna cry When I see a total stranger buy a homeless man a pair of shoes Watch the wrath of mother nature unfoldin’ on the news Chorus It’s a wow moment As if I have been chosen to be the witness of this point in time A wow moment Seems like I just stole it It leaves me feelin’ speechless but not quite ‘Cause the one word I can find that fits right now, is wow Verse 2 When we get up in the mornin’, and your hair's a sexy mess When we go out in the evenin’, and you wear that strapless dress When you cook that special dinner, light the candles, and pour the wine When you wrap your self around me, and melt this heart of mine Chorus Instrumental Chorus
