THE FIRST STEP (WITH VOCALS)
The First Step
By Charles V. Hayden
Verse 1
Sometimes I feel so small within these four white walls
I wanna break free but I don’t know how
To turn it all around and find a way
Let go of the mistakes I’ve made
I wanna feel like I’m enough
Break through the darkness and receive
Your love
Pre chorus
The blank face in the mirror is asking me how
To pierce through the pain and figure this out
Chorus
If the first step is what it takes
I’ll take the first step closer to change
I’ll dig down deeper when I don’t feel brave
Rise above my fear, gonna find my way
And I’ll start today if the first step is what it takes
What it takes, what it takes what it takes
What it takes, what it takes
Verse 2
Sometimes it feels like shadows are all I see
And I don’t notice my victories
Running in place, and getting nowhere
When all the time You were right there
All I had to do was just take Your hand
Cause when I get weary You help me to stand
Pre chorus
The blank face in the mirror is asking me how
To pierce through the pain and figure this out
Chorus
If the first step is what it takes
I’ll take the first step closer to change
I’ll dig down deeper when I don’t feel brave
Rise above my fear, find my way
And I’ll start today if the first step is what it takes
What it takes, what it takes
Bridge
Sometimes I stumble like a toddler
Learning to walk
So good to know that You’re right here
To catch me when I fall
Chorus
If the first step is what it takes
I’ll take the first step closer to change
I’ll dig down deeper when I don’t feel brave
Rise above my fear I'm gonna find my way
And I’ll start today if the first step is what it takes
Outro
If the first step is what it takes

TITANIC LOVE
Titanic Love
By Charles V. Hayden
I thought my love was unbreakble
Built like no other love before
Able to sail through troubled waters
And make it safely to the shore
Pre Chorus
Didn't know that he was an iceberg
Ready to punch holes in my love
Chorus
I was going down down down in titanic love
Sinking deeper and deeper into this abyss
No longer feel the passion of his kiss
Just the freezing wind of titanic love
Drowning in titanic love
2nd Verse
Why did I ignore the warning signs
He wanted just a weekend toy
And like that huge ship sailing too fast
Our love was doomed from the start
Pre chorus
Didn't know that he was an iceberg
Lookin' to punch holes in my love
Chorus
I was going down down down in titanic love
Sinking deeper and deeper into this abyss
No longer feel the passion of his kiss
Just the freezing wind of titanic love
Drowning in titanic love
Bridge
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Don't wanna be in love by myself
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh
Don't leave me in this love by myself
Chorus
I was going down down down in titanic love
Sinking deeper and deeper into this abyss
No longer feel the passion of his kiss
Just the freezing wind of titanic love
Drowning in titanic love

YOU CALL HIM SON
You Call Him Son
Copyright 2018 by Charles V. Hayden
He sat at God’s right hand
Gave up His throne and majesty
They nailed Him to a cross
For the offenses of you and me
(pre chorus)
Some called Him evil
Others called Him insane
But Father You knew Him
By a different name
(chorus)
You called Him Son
You called Him Son
You loved Him just as much
As each of us
They found no fault
He loved everyone
And Father through Your loving eyes
You called Him Son
A man stands in a padded room
Beating his fist against the wall
The voices scream in his head
Telling him to just end it all
(pre chorus)
Some call him evil
Others call him insane
But Lord You know him
By a different name
(chorus)
You call him son
You call him son
You love him just as much
As each of us
Some may judge him
Before this day is done
But Lord through Your loving eyes
You call him son
(bridge)
When will we stop pretending
That we don't see him
And get our brother the help he needs
(chorus)
You call him son
You call him son
You love him just as much
As each of us
Some may judge him
Before this day is done
But Lord through Your loving eyes
You call him son

Yes through Your loving eyes
You call him son

TEARS FALL CLOSE
She never thought this day would come
Standing at her husband’s grave
Watching strangers throwing dirt
On the life they had made
(pre-chorus)
As she cries she wonders is God really there
Does He see her
Hear her or even care
(chorus)
But tears fall close to the heart of God
He is near to every broken spirit
Before one drop hits the floor
His heart breaks a little more
Cause tears fall close to the heart of God
Twenty years since he’s been there
Standing at the altar call
He’s wandered so far he wonders if the Lord
Can hear his cries at all
(pre-chorus)
And he’s begging God to show him
He’s really there
Does He see him
Hear him or even care
(chorus)
But tears fall close to the heart of God
He is near to every broken spirit
Before one drop hits the floor
His heart breaks a little more
Cause tears fall close to the heart of God
(bridge)
Whether from the eyes of boys and girls
Or the mother on her knees
Whenever they fall wherever they fall
God knows, God hears, God sees
(chorus)
Cause tears fall close to the heart of God
He is near to every broken spirit
Before one drop hits the floor
His heart breaks a little more
Cause tears fall close
Yes tears fall close
Tears fall close to the heart of God

He’s the kind of man who won’t make future plans, says he’s too busy
And he will never introduce you to his family
Says he truly loves you and you are the only one
But all he wants to do is lay you down

Your love is deeper than he could ever swim

And what he’s offering will only make you cry
Never lose your focus, and don’t you compromise

Lord take away anything
That stands between You and me
May I be invisible before other’s eyes
So when they look at me it’s You they see

I wanna hear You say well done
Are there more sweeter words
That I could hear my Lord

When You will come to earth again
But You remind us our lives are a vapor
And at any moment our time can end

I wanna hear You say well done
Are there more sweeter words
That I could hear my Lord
I wanna hear You say well done

Don’t Ever Give Up
By Charles V. Hayden
(verse 1)
Don’t ever, don’t ever give up on God (no no)
Cause He’ll never, no He’ll never give up on you
I know that sometimes it’s hard to keep holdin’ on
When you feel that all your hope is gone
But don’t you ever, don’t ever give up on God
(verse 2)
I’ll never, I’ll never give up on God (no no)
No matter, no matter what trials may come my way
You know that sometimes, I don’t know what their all about
But God knows and He’ll never cast me out
That’s why I’ll never, I’ll never give up on God
(bridge)
So put on the armour of God
So when the evil days come
When you’ve done all that you can
You just stand, you just stand
(verse 3)
Don’t ever, don’t ever give up on God (no no)
Remember, you are precious to Him
And maybe sometimes you feel you don’t have a friend
But turn to God, don’t turn away from Him
Oh don’t you ever, don’t ever give up on God
(outro)
No no, don’t you ever, don’t ever give up on God

As the plane leaves the ground
She sees herself on a rocket to Mars
Her mama says one day she’ll travel where
No one has gone
Friends say she can only go so far
(pre chorus)
But a Voice inside keeps telling her
There’s nothing beyond her reach
(chorus)
He will be her wings

If she’ll just believe
She’ll find that He is faithful
She can do all things
Cause He will be her wings

He imagines that the crowd screams his name
2 points behind with seconds to play when he gets the ball
He makes a 3 point shot that wins the game

LOVE HAD ANOTHER PLAN
Love came out the blue water in a red bikini
Almost fell out my chair and spilled my martini
I was at the beach on a caribbean island
Toes in the white sand and mountains on my horizon
But all this beauty couldn’t compare to her
I was mesmerized by her curves
But love had another plan
I wasn’t seeking romance
Wasn’t gonna give love half a glance
But love had another plan
She said she was headed for the island of Haiti
Each year she volunteers to save starving babies
Said that she was here on a short vacation
In a few days she’s leavin’ for that barren nation
And her true beauty was on the inside
That I couldn’t see with my eyes
But love had another plan
I wasn’t seeking romance
Wasn’t gonna give love half a glance
But love had another plan
My friends said, “you’re an eagle
And in the air is where you belong”
I said, an eagle is smart enough to know
When it’s time to build a home
And love had another plan
Now we’re enjoying romance
So glad I gave love more than a glance
Cause love had another plan
So glad I gave love more than a glance
Cause love had another plan

DRONES
She was a black woman driving in Texas
Pulled over for a minor offense
Taken to jail where she later died
And suicide was the state's defense
(chorus)
When will we stop killing like drones
Ignoring what's right or wrong
Programmed by fear and hatred
For other religions and races
When will we stop killing like drones
He was a muslim living in Chicago
Walking from work on a quiet street
When he was killed leaving behind
A grieving wife and family
When will we stop killing like drones
Ignoring what's right or wrong
Programmed by fear and hatred
For other religions and races
When will we stop killing like drones
(bridge)
Hate is not the answer
Empathy is not enough
It's gonna take our heavenly Father's love
When will we stop killing like drones
Ignoring what's right or wrong
Programmed by fear and hatred
For other religions and races
When will we stop killing like drones
(tag)
Heavenly Father help us stop killing like drones --- END ---

My Destiny

Then I start questioning where I’m at
And where I’m supposed to be
Then life comes and goes as it pleases
Breaks everything then it leaves
All the pieces for me

But I build myself up more every day
I pick all my doubts up and throw them away

And I hear the wind rolling in with my greater days
And I feel love, and I feel joy
I sense peace overwhelming every part of me
I know my destiny

Words cut deeper than you can imagine

I just tell them that I know who I am
And I am enough

Cause I build myself up more every day
I pick all my doubts up and throw them away

END OF A RAINBOW
End Of A Rainbow

(verse 1)
If I find the end of a rainbow
I hope that you’ll be standing there
In love’s afterglow
If I had power to do anything
We’d travel far beyond the clouds
And dance inside Saturn’s rings

Come with me to the end of a rainbow
Where we can renew the plans of you and me
As long as we are together
We can make our dreams our reality
We can start again at the end of a rainbow

That while pursuing my goals
I was ignoring your needs
But the thought of living without you
Has opened my eyes
And now I see from your point of view

Where we can renew the plans of you and me
As long as we are together
We can make our dreams our reality

SHORT CUT
Short Cut
copyright 2016 by Charles V. Hayden

He's a sharp dresser, drives a fancy car
And his good looks keep turnin' heads
He knows how to show a woman a real good time
Sleeps every night in a different bed
(Verse 2)
He's a great dancer, always smells good
And he comes prepared with a strategy
He knows his velvet words have worked before
Now he's gonna try his lies on me
(Chorus)
But there ain't no short cut to my heart
Gonna take a lotta tender care
And there's only one way to my place
Only love will get you there
If you're not committed, just forget it
Boy you're wastin' my time
Cause there ain't no short cut
To this heart of mine
(Verse 3)
Need a love that's deeper than a shallow man
Playin' a game to run up his score
Won't trade my affection for a one time fling
This woman is worth so much more
(Chorus)
And there ain't no short cut to my heart
Gonna take a lotta tender care
And there's only one way to my place
Only love will get you there
If you're not committed, just forget it
Boy you're wastin' my time
Cause there ain't no short cut
To this heart of mine

To get to me you gotta go through double doors
And that ain't happenin' anytime soon
The first one leads to a lifetime together
The second one will send your rocket to the moon

Gonna take a lotta tender care
And there's only one way to my place
Only love will get you there

To this heart of mine

No there ain't no short cut

WHISPER OF LOVE (MP3)
Whisper Of Love
Copyright 2016 by Charles V. Hayden
I put thousands of miles between me and that empty house
Found my lover in the arms of someone else
So I traded my sleepless nights for violins in a french cafe
No agenda just soft music and rest
But I’m never beyond the whisper of love
Whether in LA or Paris France
I always hoped that I would find love again
All it took was just your innocent touch
And your unforgettable glance
To make my heart listen to your whisper of love
We went on a boat ride along the Verdon Gorge
Your emerald eyes outshined the shimmering water
Later we walked hand in hand as we explored the Paris night
And then you kissed me under the Eiffel Tower
And I’m never beyond the whisper of love
Whether in LA or Paris France
I always hoped that I would find love again
All it took was just your innocent touch
And your unforgettable glance
To make my heart listen to your whisper of love
It was only the first of many breathless days and nights
Your whisper led me to the best love of my life
And I’m never beyond the whisper of love
Whether in LA or Paris France
I always hoped that I would find love again
All it took was just your innocent touch
And your unforgettable glance
To make my heart listen to your whisper of love
So glad my heart listened to your whisper of love

LOVE IS CALLING YOU
Love Is Calling You
copyright 2018 by Charles V. Hayden
Do you want to be loved unconditionally
Do you want a love that’s patient and true
Do you know where you’ll spend eternity
Someone wants to share it with you
(pre chorus)
No matter how badly your life is broken
He is waiting with love wide open
(chorus)
Love is calling you
Can you hear His sweet voice
Love is calling you
Will you make Jesus your choice
You tried many things to fill the yearning inside
And you’ve asked yourself is this all there is
But what this world has to offer cannot satisfy
Only Jesus can and only He will
(pre chorus)
No matter how badly your life is broken
He is waiting with love wide open
(chorus)
Love is calling you
Can you hear His sweet voice
Love is calling you
Will you make Jesus your choice
(bridge)
For if we confess our sins
He is faithful and just
And we’re never beyond His reach
For He promised to forgive us
Love is calling you
Can you hear His sweet voice
Love is calling you
Will you make Jesus your choice
(tag)
Will you choose Jesus today
Love is calling you

GOD FIRST
God First
copyright 2018 by Charles V. Hayden
He goes to church on Sunday morning
With his family
And he don't sit all evening
In front of that TV
Cause he knows where his blessings come from
Each and every day
So they gather around the table
And study God's word and pray
(chorus)
And it's God first then his wife and kids
Those are his priorities
When he can find the time he works on that old car
Or goes huntin' by the creek
But it's God first then his wife and kids
Those are his priorities
He thanks the Lord for giving him a Godly wife
And for all the love and beauty she brings to his life
At least once a week he takes her out on a date
And if he had the chance to do it all again
He'd do it the same way
(chorus)
And it's God first then his wife and kids
Those are his priorities
When he can find the time he works on that old car
Or hangs out with his buddies
But it's God first then his wife and kids
Those are his priorities
(bridge)
He knows his children are a gift and God's design
And what they need the most from him is his time
(chorus)
And it's God first then his wife and kids
Those are his priorities
When he can find the time he works on that old car
Or goes huntin' by the creek
But it's God first then his wife and kids
Those are his priorities
(tag)
Yes it's God first then his wife and kids
Those are his priorities

BLESSED TO BE A BLESSING
Blessed To Be A Blessing
Copyright 2017 by Charles V. Hayden
Lord sometimes we think it’s all about us
And we try to get all we can
And we close our eyes to those who are in need
Instead of reaching out to them with loving hands
(chorus)
But we are blessed to be a blessing
We are blessed to be a blessing
We are blessed to be a blessing
So blessed to be a blessing
Lord You’re not impressed by the things we have
Or how smart we think we are
Whatever talents we have, their all gifts from You
So we can be someone’s morning star
We are blessed to be a blessing
We are blessed to be a blessing
We are blessed to be a blessing
So blessed to be a blessing
(bridge)
Jesus said “seek first the kingdom of God
And His righteousness
And all these things will be added unto us”
(repeat chorus)

YOU ARE THE STRINGS (NEW VERSION)
You Are The Strings
copyright 2017 by Charles V. Hayden
In this hotel room tonight a ticking clock sounds so loud and clear
The smell of cigarettes linger in the air
And this king sized bed feels way too big for me
I hold your picture as close as my music as I slowly fall asleep
(chorus)
You are the strings to my guitar, though once again I'm on the road
As I go from town to town singing our love songs
You are the missing part
of my acappella heart
You're the strings to my guitar
I love the dimple on your chin and every freckle on your cheeks
And how you start runnin' after you've tickled me
And I always catch you cause there's no finish line
But I'm only gonna love you one day past the end of time
(chorus)
You are the strings to my guitar, though once again I'm on the road
As I go from town to town singing our love songs
You are the missing part
of my acappella heart
You're the strings to my guitar
(bridge)
I love the screaming crowds
I thank them whenever I can
But honey I want you to know
That I'm your biggest fan
(chorus)
You are the strings to my guitar, though once again I'm on the road
As I go from town to town singing our love songs
You are the missing part
of my acappella heart
You're the strings to my guitar

DOES HEAVEN HEAL ANGELS
Does Heaven Heal Angels
copyright 2016 by Charles V. Hayden
(verse 1)
He remembers their first date
He didn't mean to stare
But when she opened the door
He saw an angel standing there
(verse 2)
Well for years she flew so high
Thought she wouldn't come down
But a few secret emails
Sent her crashing to the ground
(chorus)
Does Heaven heal angels?
He really needs to know
He walked all over her heart
And she walked out the door
He said Lord please forgive me
Didn't mean to hurt her so
Does Heaven heal angels?
He really wants to know
(verse 3)
Well he saw her years later
And looked into her eyes
She had this glow on her face
And he was wonderin' why
(verse 4)
Well they talked for a little while
Then it was plain to see
Cause right there on her finger
Was a golden wedding ring
(chorus)
Cause Heaven heals angels
And now he really knows
He walked all over her heart
And she walked out the door
He said Lord please forgive me
Didn't know she'd say goodbye
You may knock an angel down
But she'll get back up and fly
Cause Heaven heals angels
And they get back up and fly

THE GREAT I AM
The Great I Am
Copyright 2018 by Charles V. Hayden
You are more faithful than a sunrise
You are the artist of the ancient skies
You are wiser than Solomon
Your patience is longer than the Amazon
You’re the Great I Am
That’s Who You are
The One Who defends the weak
The Great I Am
Defeated the grave by infinite power
Matchless in majesty
You’re the Great I Am
You are my Healer of all disease
You are my Pathway to perfect peace
Your grace is greater than all my sins
In spite of my failure You still call me friend
You’re the Great I Am
That’s Who You are
The One who defends the weak
The Great I Am
Defeated the grave by infinite power
Matchless in majesty
You’re the Great I Am
Matchless in majesty
You’re the Great I Am

CYBER LOVER
Cyber Lover
Copyright 2016 by Charles V. Hayden
Well it started with a magazine
He was only twenty one
He didn’t know that he was plantin’ seeds
Thought it was just innocent fun
But years later he discovered
The rush of a cyber lover
He sat in front of his computer at midnight
With a secret He couldn’t tell
While his wife was in bed sleepin’
He was chattin’ with Jezebel
Makin’ plans to see each other
He was blinded by his cyber lover
(chorus)
It’s as addictive as porn
Will he stop and consider the price
Will he end up single again
Or let go of his double life
He found her note on the table that mornin’
Said, “ I thought that I knew you
Here’s a copy of your emails”
He said, my God how could I be such a fool
She left him with no way to cover
The tracks of his cyber lover
(chorus 2)
It’s as addictive as porn
He should have stopped to consider the price
But he ended up single again
Wouldn’t let go of his double life
She left him with no way to cover
The tracks of his cyber lover
She left him with no way to cover
The tracks of his cyber lover --- END ---

IN YOUR ARMS
In Your Arms
copyright 2016 by Charles V. Hayden
In your arms is where is where I like to be
In your arms feeling you next to me
In your arms I have found security
In your arms always an open door
In your arms found what I was looking for
In your arms there's no reason to search anymore
And Lord I thank you for answering my prayer
You sent an angel down to earth to love me
And I know that you'll always be here
And I'm so grateful for the love you give me
I found love overflowing in your arms
In your arms is where I wanna stay
In your arms loving you more each day
In your arms I wouldn't have it any other way
And Lord I thank you for answering my prayer
You sent an angel down to earth to love me
And I know that you'll always be here
And I'm so grateful for the love you give me
I found love overflowing in your arms
I found a treasure this I truly know
Someone who's love is unconditional
I must surrender what else can I do
So here is my heart, I give it all to you
And Lord I thank you for answering my prayer
You sent an angel down to earth to love me
And I know that you'll always be here
And I'm so grateful for the love you give me
I found love overflowing in your arms
I found love overflowing in your arms

BEFORE I FALL
Before I Fall
Copyright by Charles V. Hayden
(verse 1)
Well I know this isn’t easy for you
We started out walkin' side by side
Along our journey to a better love
A love that shines from deep inside
(verse 2
But you arrived ahead of me
And you may think you're wastin' your time
But honey there's one thing I want you to know
I feel my heart's not too far behind
(chorus)
Cause I can feel the ground gettin' softer
It's starting to shift
And as I step ever closer
I hear love's call
The walls are crumblin' all around me
I might give in
Will you love me forever
I need to know before I fall
(verse 3)
As I remember past boyfriends in my life
I built a fortress around my heart
But you love me for who I am
And you have touched my deepest part
(chorus)
And I can feel the ground gettin' softer
It's starting to shift
And as I step ever closer
I hear love's call
The walls are crumblin' all around me
I might give in
Will you love me forever
I need to know before I fall
(tag)
Will you love me forever
I need to know before I fall

I BLAME YOU (MASTER)
I Blame You
By Charles V. Hayden
I should have known this would happen to me
When we sat on that front porch
Your blazing blue eyes cutting through my walls
Like the flames of a welder's torch
(pre chorus)
We talked til dawn that summer night
And drank ice tea under starlight
(chorus)
I blame you for this silly grin on my face
I blame you for wearing that red negligee
I blame you for our midnight rendezvous
For all the fun you put me through
I blame you
(verse 2)
It was blue jeans boots and dancing
Summer drives with the top down
Your hugs and kisses in the rain
Has turned my love around
(pre chorus)
We talked til dawn that summer night
And drank ice tea under starlight
(chorus)
I blame you for this silly grin on my face
I blame you for wearing that red negligee
I blame you for our midnight rendezvous
For all the fun you put me through
I blame you
(bridge)
Since I met you my life has become
A ride on a ferris wheel
And girl I’m not responsible
For the way you make me feel
(chorus)
I blame you for this silly grin on my face
I blame you for wearing that red negligee
I blame you for our midnight rendezvous
For all the fun you put me through
I blame you
(Outro)
For all the fun you put me through
I blame you
