Free In Jesus I own 4 of Joe's albums, and this is my favorite. ALL the words of each song are heart touching -- from God's heart to ours through Joe's. Love his voice and singing style and the anointing on his albums! Listening to Joe sing his songs causes me to want Jesus to increase my capacity to love Him more!
Honey Favorite track: Grow up to be a child.

Lori Jardine This is a beautiful song. I listen to it every morning when i wake up and every night before I go to sleep. I first heard it on one of Mr Grahams messages. You have a wonderful voice. Favorite track: I will always love you.

NEXT TO YOU How I wish that you could see That you mean so much to me Every single day I’ve been next to you Every single day I’ve been there by your side Every single day I’ve been next to you Every single day I’ve been right by your side When you walk into a storm My arms will keep you warm Every single day I’ll be next to you Every single day I’ll be there by your side Every single day I’ll be next to you Every single day I’ll be right by your side Life is a journey So precious yet so brief Cherish each moment For time is such a thief Yes, time is such a thief Love may come and love may go But one thing you need to know Every single day I’ll be next to you Every single day I’ll be there by your side Every single day I’ll be next to you Every single day I’ll be right by your side Life is a journey So precious yet so brief Cherish each moment For time is such a thief Yes, time is such a thief Every single day I was next to you Every single day I was there by your side Every single day I was next to you Every single day I was right by your side Every single day I am next to you … Every single day I’ll be next to you …

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU I loved you long before you met me And then you gave your life to me But should one day you turn and walk away I will always love you I will always love you I will always love you, yes I will I always will My love will never cease towards you But should I have a change of heart It is because my heart has ceased to beat I will always love you … When all around you seems in darkness When you have plumbed right to the depths No pit is so deep I’m not deeper still I will always love you … And when the day has almost ended When evening comes and walls you in When there is no one else to comfort you I will always love you … Here are my arms for you to cling to Here are my wounds where you can hide Here are the tears that I have cried for you I will always love you … My love is constant as the sunrise As changeless as the stars of night My child, as sure as the returning tide I will always love you …
3.	The steadfast heart 04:24	lyrics	buy track
THE STEADFAST HEART You don’t allow yourself to need me Out of my arms you quickly fly You can be heartless as a shadow Elusive as a butterfly When are you going to believe me I am the steadfast heart To stand as lover and beloved Locked in a passionate embrace To me such moments are so precious They cannot ever be replaced For it is in them you’ll discover I am the steadfast heart Remember how our love began How I took you by the hand Things were very simple then We were never apart But when the honeymoon was through What had started never grew Deep inside you never knew My steadfast heart You have been hard to catch and conquer Long have I laid siege to your heart You have so many good defences Which still are keeping us apart We can’t go on like this forever I am the steadfast heart Remember how our love began … I often feel when we are walking Your hand is not at home in mine How can we be part of each other If you don’t try to make the time Around the corner of each moment You’ll find my steadfast heart My steadfast heart My steadfast heart My steadfast heart
4.	My love will last 03:55	lyrics	buy track
MY LOVE WILL LAST My love will last Though years they may pass Should sun and moon fall from the sky My love for you will never die My love will last Whatever comes to pass The four winds may blow no more But of my love you can be sure And when the rivers have ceased to run The rocks melted with the sun The stars called home one by one The waves may stop rushing to the shore The oceans may cease to roar But my love for you will last You need to know I’ll never let you go And when the storm is at its height Your Father’s arms will hold you tight And when the rivers have ceased to run … My love will last
5.	Grow up to be a child 06:42	lyrics	buy track
GROW UP TO BE A CHILD Come stroll with me now along the seashore Side by side, arm in arm And let us talk like we used to Remember when our love was new But you were young then Less complicated How our love grew, as at still can Let’s start again, the tide is turning Retrace our footprints in the sand Come sit with me now And watch the sunset See the colours run and merge And lay your head on my shoulder And watch the golden evening glow But as I hold you You seem so restless Let me caress and soothe your brow You have grown O how you’ve grown Now grow up to be a child Come walk with me now into the forest Slip your hand into mine And let’s exchange idle nothings For that’s what lovers often do Come lay your head back And watch the night sky Clouds are racing cross the moon See how the stars they hang like jewels Upon the windswept galaxies You used to tell me You loved me dearly But now you think that’s not your style You have grown O how you’ve grown Now grow up to be a child Now you are older, sophisticated You don’t embrace me like you did And slowly space has crept between us Like lovers lying back to back But like a mother will rock her baby I would hold you close to me And I will sing over you Until your eyes are fixed on mine And when I have your full attention I will speak my words to you But you will never understand ‘Til you grow up to be a child ‘Til you grow up to be a child Grow up to be a child
6.	No one loves you like I do 07:56	lyrics	buy track
NO ONE LOVES YOU LIKE I DO I’ve walked with you along life’s road Always shared your heavy load And when the pain became too great It was then that I took the weight Times have been hard these past few years Lonely nights fighting back the tears But not one tear escaped my eye It was then that I stood you bye No one loves you like I do With a love so strong and true You could search the whole world through No one loves you like I do I’ve always known what’s best for you Hence the trials that you’ve been through But as I seek your highest good It is then I’m misunderstood Like flowers need both sun and rain Your heart needs joy and pain For in those times when tears flow It is then tenderness can grow No one loves you like I do I give my word, I will be most To all those who need me most When hearts are sad and loss is great It is then I’ll come to your aid When all the roads to go are gone And your life its course has run Stood face, you’ll see my eyes It is then you will realize No one loves you like I do …
7.	I'd die for you 04:31	lyrics	buy track
I’D DIE FOR YOU I’d die for you Again if I had to In all the human race Nobody else Could take your place My heart is yours Stop trying to win it I take great pride in you And you must too It’s time you knew You are worth so much to me Some day You wondered if someone Could make you feel somehow That you were loved You are someone who needs loving But loving is something That’s so hard to find You are unique You’re my prized possession In your complexity And mystery You speak of me I’d die for you Again if I had to There are no lengths to which I would not go To let you know You are worth so much to me Some day … I’d die for you Again if I had to
8.	When you're distressed 06:36	lyrics	buy track
WHEN YOU’RE DISTRESSED When you’re distressed I too am distressed When you are cut I am bleeding When you are lonely You’re never forgotten I know just how you are feeling Spring doesn’t come ‘Til winter has gone Then new life can start once again Just like the rainbow will follow the rain My glory will follow your pain So, through adversity You will come to see Your deep need of me So, though a rope looks strong You won’t know how strong ‘Til you’re clinging to it It’s through the hard times Not so much the good times That we’ve grown much closer together When you cannot find me There’s one place that I’ll be With you at the end of your tether I am a prisoner Of my loving nature My child, I will never forsake you Wherever you run to My love will confront you A welcome will always await you So, when the nights are long When you have no one To depend upon Know I helped you before I can help once more That’s what I am here for When times are hardest And night’s at its darkest Then my stars can shine even brighter Only in combat Will you ever find that I’ve put deep within you a fighter In your despair I always was there To lead you through trial and sorrow Those days are fading New frontiers are waiting Ahead lies a brand new tomorrow So, in the coming years When there’s times of tears Stand and face your fears Know though the wild winds blow I won’t let you go My love’s never fading
9.	Come what may 05:00	lyrics	buy track
COME WHAT MAY When there’s hard times or there’s good times When the rain falls or the sun shines When I’m needy or I’ve plenty Lord, not one thing will prevent me I will love you come what may I will love you every day I will love you now and for evermore When your presence seems so distant When my doubts seem so persistent Then no matter how I‘m feeling Lord, on one thing I’m unyielding I will love you come what may … When the past seems to pursue me When temptation whispers to me When my worst fears are awakened Lord, on one thing I’m unshaken I will love you come what may …
