Bless You

by Bob Halligan, Jr.

On that day- that we met
I just knew- I wouldn’t forget
The gentle way- you touched my soul
And got my fear- under control
Things you said, things you did
How you loved- to forgive
You prayed we’d be- Spirit-led
Then you grabbed my hand and said:

May the Lord bless you- keep you
Love you- treasure you Lord
Bless you- keep you
Love you- treasure you- hey hey

On the days- I show up
With an empty plate- tears in my cup
You’re the first- to let me know
I found the right- place to go
To get with God- get with friends
Find a love- that never ends
Turn my tears- to drops of joy
So I’ll tell every girl and boy:

May the Lord bless you- keep you
Love you- treasure you Lord
Bless you- keep you
Love you- treasure you- hey hey

Pack This Place

by Bob Halligan Jr.

Lord- we got a mission
We got a purpose- we got a goal
Lord- we gotta listen
We gotta do as- You have told
We spread the message out- You bring the people in

You’re gonna pack this place
With Your saving grace
I know with every shape and every size and every race
You’re gonna pack this place
With Your saving grace
The smile upon my face could never
Ever be erased the night You pack this place

Lord- we got a vision
We got a focus- we got a fire
Lord- there’s no division
No segregation- just your desire
We live as one- Your nation has begun

We’re gonna pack this place
With Your saving grace
I know with every shape and every size and every race
You’re gonna pack this place
With Your saving grace
The smile upon my face could never
Ever be erased the night You pack this place

-INSTRUMENTAL-

We spread the message out- You bring the people in

Keep It That Way

by Bob Halligan Jr.

I wanna keep it that way, Lord
I wanna keep it that way
I wanna keep it that way, Lord
I wanna keep it that way
I wanna keep it that way, Lord
I wanna keep it that way, keep it that way
Keep it that way- he-e-ey

I wanna focus on You- til I turn blue
Sometimes that’s really rough
I wanna give you my life-
I gotta give You my nights
Stay away from that bad stuff
Right now- You’re really here
Right now You stand so near
Your face is clear as day

I wanna keep it that way, Lord
I wanna keep it that way
I wanna keep it that way, Lord
I wanna keep it that way
I wanna keep it that way, Lord
I wanna keep it that way, keep it that way
Keep it that way- he-e-ey

I wanna do the right thing- and not just sing
Folks out there need me bad
I wanna really come thru- do what You would do
Some folks are really sad
Right now- I’m into it
Right now- I commit
To do good not just today

I wanna keep it that way, Lord
I wanna keep it that way
I wanna keep it that way, Lord
I wanna keep it that way
I wanna keep it that way, Lord
I wanna keep it that way, keep it that way
Keep it that way- he-e-ey

All those good ideas- all those brand new me’s
Is that – all just talk?
Can I wear those shoes
That will walk the walk?

Right now- You’re really here
Right now You stand so near
Your face is clear as day

I wanna keep it that way, Lord
I wanna keep it that way
I wanna keep it that way, Lord
I wanna keep it that way
I wanna keep it that way, Lord
I wanna keep it that way, keep it that way
Keep it that way- he-e-ey

My love to You again- hey-hey
Lord, it’s me again- yeah You heard right I send
My love to You again- hey-hey

Hey it’s no fantasy- it’s my reality
I’m so in love with me- bein’ so in love with You

Somethin’ to laugh about- that just makes me cry
Make me laugh, make me cry- at the same time-
(How do You do it, Lord?)
It’s so emotional- that it’s physical
Wanna grab my phone and call You up and tell you Hi!
Say hello, but not say goodbye- here it comes again, now

Another Name For Love

by Bob Halligan Jr.

There’s another name for hope
There’s another name for truth
There’s another name for love- and it’s Jesus

There’s another name for joy
There’s another name for peace
There’s another name for love- and it’s Jesus

I can only hope I’ll see
All the things You are to me
Better than a fantasy come true

I had journeyed far and near
To discover why I’m here
Til I found a name for love- and it’s Jesus
And it’s Jesus- and it’s Jesus

Make Me Cool

by Bob Halligan Jr.

Lord I do believe in You, but there’s a problem
Now everybody who used to like me doesn’t
They say You’re not cool- I feel- like a fool
And You say:

Hey- you- make me cool
Hey- you
Hey- you- make me cool
Hey

Tryin to show them bein’ cool
Ain’t just about haircuts
Cuz you got some style that really will kick their butts
You’re so “up above”- you’re so “The Word is Love”
And You say:

Hey- you- make me cool
Hey- you
Hey- you- make me cool
Hey

You made the world- that’s cool
You saved the world- that’s cool
You made day & nite- showed us wrong from right
You make the peace when there’s a fight- now
That’s cool!!

You say: Hey- you- make me cool
Hey- you
Hey- you- make me cool
Hey

Turn Your Mess

by Bob Halligan, Jr. & Justin Fatica

Turn your mess into a message
Turn your life over to the Lord
Turn your mess into a message
And the loneliness will be no more

I saw you cryin- you don’t have to cry no more
I saw you tryin- to head for that door
Turn your mess into a message
Turn your life over to the Lord

Turn your mess into a message
And the loneliness will be no more

You tell your story- let go of your shame
Cause God in His glory
Will use you to ease others’ pain

Turn your mess into a message
Turn your life over to the Lord
Turn your mess into a message
And the loneliness will be no more

I know it’s a mess- but God is the BEST
I know it’s a mess- but God is the BEST

---------INSTRUMENTAL----------

Turn your mess into a message
Turn your life over to the Lord
Turn your mess into a message
And the loneliness will be no more

No Matter What

by Bob Halligan, Jr. & Justin Fatica

Atheist, agnostic, Hindu or Jew
Muslim, Christian, Catholic, even you!
We are all children of God, this is what I believe
I don’t know what nightmares you’ve been through
I’m not here to judge the things that you may do
I’m just here to bring the greatest news
You will ever receive

He loves you- no matter what
Encourages you- no matter what
He believes in you no matter what
No matter what you say
He loves you- no matter what
Encourages you- no matter what
He believes in you no matter what
No matter what you say

Nervously sittin’ in the barber’s chair
I was the only guy my color in there
I could see them look suspicious at me
Like I’m some undercover man
I said: “I ain’t undercover, I’m over-the-top, cause
The joy that Jesus gave me’s never gonna stop
Shave my face, but I ain’t leavin’ this place
Until you understand:

He loves you- no matter what
Encourages you- no matter what
He believes in you no matter what
No matter what you say
He loves you- no matter what
Encourages you- no matter what
He believes in you no matter what
No matter what you say”

God didn’t ask me to ask you:
“What church do you go to?”
He just asked me to be sure that you knew that
That you knew that:

He loves you- no matter what
Encourages you- no matter what
He believes in you no matter what
No matter what you say
He loves you- no matter what
Encourages you- no matter what
He believes in you no matter what
No matter what you say

Time to get uncomfortable- cuz that’s where love is
Time to get uncomfortable- that’s where we learn how to give

Hey- Fr. Pedzich- Fr. Reddick- Fr. Joe
Hey- Fr. Louie, Fr. Mike, we need you to know
We saw you laughin’, we saw you jokin’
Saw you huggin’, saw you smilin'
My little brother- told my mother- “See that man in the collar:

He’s a Happy Machine- he’s a Happy Machine
He’s givin’ out love that helps keep my heart clean
He’s a Happy Machine”

Hey- Mary Schwenke- Julie Trousedale- Karen Law
Hey- Jen Robinson- Maribeth- I know what I saw
I saw you cheerin’, I saw you clappin’
I saw you praisin’- saw you encouragin’
Little Chico- he gets home & he goes:
“This lady I seen,

She’s a Happy Machine- she’s a Happy Machine
She’s givin’ out love that helps keep my heart clean
She’s a Happy Machine”

Thank You Lord, for these women
Thank You Lord, for these men
Thank You Lord, for these women
Thank You Lord, for these men

They’re Happy Machines- so Happy Machines
They’re givin’ out love that helps keep my heart clean

I See A Halo

by Bob Halligan Jr.

I see a halo up above your head
I see a halo and your wings are spread
I see ya flying high and bold and free
I see a halo- (cause) you're like an angel to me

When I was lost- cause someone had died
When I was hurt- cause someone had lied
You were right there- right by my side
You were the shoulder on which I cried

I see a halo up above your head
I see a halo and your wings are spread
I see ya flying high and bold and free
I see a halo- (cause) you're like an angel to me

There was a time- when I could barely feel
There was a day- when life seemed unreal
You were right there- your prayer was a shield
When I was scared- you taught me to kneel

I see a halo up above your head
I see a halo and your wings are spread
I see ya flying high and bold and free
I see a halo- (cause) you're like an angel to me

I see a halo up above your head
I see a halo and your wings are spread
I see ya flying high and bold and free
I see a halo- (cause) you're like an angel to me

This One

by Bob Halligan Jr.

Lord- this one, and this one
They love You so- & they want you to know
Lord- this one, and this one
They love You so- & they want you to know

They lay their fears upon Your table
And know You’ll ease the pain away
And Lord, the best that they are able
They promise to make time to pray

Lord- this one, and this one
They love You so- & they want you to know
Lord- this one, and this one
They love You so- & they want you to know

They will try to be honest
With themselves, but first with You
They count on Your- Holy promise
That Your love will bring hope anew

Lord- this one, and this one
They love You so- & they want you to know
Lord- this one, and this one
They love You so- & they want you to know

They find it hard to thank You
Cause tears of joy fill their eyes
The fact that they’re standing with You
Is their life’s greatest surprise

Lord- this one, and this one They love You so- & they want you to know Lord- this one, and this one They love You so- & they want you to know

Never Give Up

by Bob Halligan Jr.

One more mountain- one more hill
You climb sometimes exhausted- yet you climb it still
This new journey- is hardest of all
Climbin’ step by step- til you’ve got nothin’ left
Just when you think you’ll fall

Never give up- never surrender
Never give up- be faithful forever
Never believe- that you don’t believe
Never give up

One less anguish- one less cry
You pray & pray for comfort
That answer won’t arrive
Nothing is easy- that’s worth striving for
Climbin’ step by step- til you’ve got nothin’ left
Just when they’ve blocked the door

Never give up- never surrender
Never give up- be faithful forever
Never believe- that you don’t believe
Never give up
