Dion Dion - Velvet & Steel Lyrics - Gospel

1 New Breed Of Man

2 You Need A Love

Too much guilt

And other sell inflicted wounds

You suffer so hard

Your heart is black and blue

I think I know what's wrong with you

Chorus 1:

You need a Love, sweet Jesus X 2

You need a Love, you need Jesus

Someone to hold you

Someone to pull you through

I'm not your mother, I'm not your fool

I've got your number, so don't act so cool

Who are you fooling, it sure ain't me?

You'd better listen

There's something that you're missing

Chorus 2:

You need a Love, yes you do,

You need a love, I'm telling you,

You need a Love, yes you do

Somebody who will be your best friend

Bring out the best in you

It's so obvious, it's true

Nothing else can make you feel so good

So, get on your best dress, fix up your hair

Get on your good side and get out there

Don't be an island, you’re not alone, girl

You'd better grab your chance

Before it's gone

Chorus 3:

You need a Love, sweet Jesus X 2 You need a Love, you need Jesus

He'll be your best Friend

He'll truly see you through

Chorus 4:

You need a Love, yes you do,

You need a love, I'm telling you,

You need a Love, yes you do

Someone who will hold you

And truly see you through

I'm talking about a real love, a real love

I'm not talking about counterfeit

I'm talking about a genuine kind of love

You know, everybody lets you down

Some time, your Mama let you down

And your Daddy let you down

And you even let yourself down

3 Treasure of My Love/You're My Child

Treasure of love is easy to find

It's waiting for you

If your heart isn't blind (yeah)

Treasure of Love, it is not very far

It glows like a fire

And it shines like a star

Bridge:

It's stronger than diamonds

It's worth more than gold

This is the Treasure that'll never

No never, no never grows old

Chorus 2:

Come to me, can't you feel

The winds of changes blowing?

Come to me, turn around

And examine where you're going

Lean on me, you're my child

And my love for you will never die

Repeat Chorus 1

Repeat Bridge;

Repeat Chorus 2

The Treasure of Love

It is found on no chart

To find where it is

Just look in your heart

Look in your heart

It's there in your heart

Come to me, a-ah, a-ah

4 Another Saturday Night In Heaven

Stephen winks and shows his victory sign

Joseph sports his many-coloured coat

Job, he takes it one day at a time

Simon Peter has to check his sword

Here in heaven, peace will reign supreme

John the Baptist raises mankind's flag

And Brother Daniel, he recites his dream

Chorus:

Another Saturday night in heaven

Whenever eight-thirty rolls around

The years of talent have assembled

As the angels gather all around

Another Saturday night in heaven

The legends of a lifetime are

Common men before our Father

He's the only real Superstar

Bridge 1:

Praise You Lord, glory to the King X 2

You know, the children run

To take the front row seats

David tunes up his guitar

Gabriel stands behind a golden horn

And Solomon signals for the band to start

Mary loves to serve the family there

Rachael, she's painting a passing cloud

James and John, they sing

A brand new song

Matthew, He's smiling to the crowd

Repeat Chorus

Bridge 2:

We're gonna praise like David praised

Praise like David praised

Everybody's gonna dance

We're gonna praise like David praised

Singing ...

Repeat Bridge; 1

Moses spins a tale of the good old days

And Abraham tells Sarah one he's heard

Elizabeth prances in a pantomime

St Paul recites the sacred Word

Jonathan and Samson tip their

Baseball caps

Timothy's dancing on the lawn

Thomas tells them all to play it

One more time

Elijah snaps his fingers and he's gone

Repeat Chorus X 2

Repeat Bridge; 1

5 Prayers

Urgent hopes for bright tomorrows

Unseen wings across the air

They telegraph our feelings there

Prayers of thanks and supplication

Essence of communication

Talking about sweet prayers

Prayers which light the evening skies

Float from children's bedtime sighs

Prayers of troops in battle fighting

Cries of lovers unrequiting - prayers

Some grow old and never heed them

Others feel they never need them

Talking about sweet prayers

Chorus:

Praying's like sunlight

Lighting all the places

Shining here, shining there

Nourishing food to my very soul

Praying's like sunlight

Touching all our faces

Reaching here, reaching there

Warming my heart

Through the very cold, very cold

Prayers that crack the sky with thunder

Bless each rainbow sailing under

Prayers from Hong Kong to Hoboken

Spring from every language spoken

Prayers, some will live and never use them

Others too will refuse them

Talking about sweet prayers, yeah

Repeat Chorus

Prayers that ask for heaven's healing

Span the range of human feeling

Some appear as practiced lines

By ancient men at ancient shrines

Prayers - spoken soft in desperation

Shouted loud in celebration

Healing words of prayers

They're always there, la la la la la

Healing words of prayers, la la la la la

6 Simple Ironies

Crazy ironies

You can't stand to take a dive

When the fight gets hard

You want to win, want to save your life

You want to hide the scars

Well, it's a crazy, crazy game

But you want to win just the same

Chorus:

Give it up, lay it down

Fight the fight, gain the crown

Run to win, lose to gain

Give it up and lay it down

It's the simple ironies

The simple ironies of life

I believe in life, listen

You know, the Master said to deny yourself

To give it all away, yeah

Losers keepers is what it is

You'll find yourself this way

It's a crazy, crazy, game

But you want to win just the same

Repeat Chorus X 3

7 Just Talk To Him

For hours without end

You don't have to repeat prayers

Try to comprehend

You don't have to write a cheque

Or pay a dividend, o-h, o-h, just talk to Him

You don't need a golden Bible

Standing leather bound, no

You don't need to bow your head

And kneel upon the ground

You don't need a lot of dusty statues

Hanging around, o-oh, oh no,

To hear from Him

Chorus:

Lift your head, for He lives within your heart

Yes He does (yeah)

You can talk to Him any time at all

Choose a quiet place & let the loving start

He'll fill you with His power

And reveal His call (Yes He will)

You don't need to journey far

Till you reach Galilee

You don't need to wear a cross

Or clutch a rosary

You don't need to sacrifice

Or lose your liberty,

No no no, o-oh, open up to Him

Bridge:

I've been born again, I've got a new Friend

I've been born again, (listen)

Repeat Bridge;

You don't need no symbols dangling

From the mirror in the rear

You don't need to camp at Lourdes

And hope that He'll appear

You don't need a religion

That is only built on fear, oh no no, o-oh

Just speak to Him

Oh and then

Repeat Chorus

Fill you with His power

I've got a new Friend

Repeat Bridge; X 5

Just talk to Him

8 I Love Jesus Now

Drinking late till I saw double

But every morning broke my bubble

I love Jesus now

I made every social blunder

And every table I drank under

One day it struck me like thunder

That I love Jesus now

Chorus:

Well, all those things that I cared for

Were only wasted time

'Cause now I'm following the Master

Instead of following dollar signs

When there was fun, I'd volunteer

I'd swing from every chandelier

But now my vision is crystal clear

I swing for Jesus now

I lost myself in lots of things

Expensive clothes and diamond rings

But lately I feel that I've got wings

I fly for Jesus now

I shot dice till I rolled seven

I grabbed my cash with motors revving

You know I could jump halfway to heaven

I found Jesus now

Repeat Chorus

I surpassed my limitations

Nodding yes to each temptation

But now I'm filled with jubilation

I'm filled with Jesus now

You know, I told my friends, I said

My goal was to make a million dollars

Leather jackets, stand-up collars

Hear me out, 'cause now I holler

My goal is Jesus now

Repeat Chorus

Today I learn by my mistakes

I'm glad I finally hit the brakes

I'll do no matter what it takes

To be like Jesus now

You know what I'm talking about

9 Hymn to Him

Are your dreams swept with fear?

Does your heart fill with sadness

With the night drawing near?

Do you yearn for the moment

When you'll be safe and warm?

Do you search for the shelter

From life's oncoming storms?

Chorus:

Come to Him through the darkness

Come to Him through the rain

Walk with Him from misfortune

Walk with Him from the pain

He's the light of salvation

He's the head never bowed

He's the first step of wisdom

He's the sun through the clouds

(Walk with Him)

If the winds of disaster

Have blown hard through your night

And the dreams you have cherished

Can't begin to take flight

Take his hand through the sunlight

Lift your head high above

Let your heart flow forever

With the warmth of his love

Repeat Chorus

Blend your life with His blessing

Drink from the wine of tomorrow

Yesterday must be banished

With the seeds of your sorrow, sorrow

Repeat Verses 1 & 2

Repeat Chorus X 2

10 There In Your Heart

Or on a junk that sails the China Sea

You can find Him riding in a rodeo

Or barefoot on the Sands of Galilee

You can find Him skiing

Down the old Swiss Alps

Or parking cars in a parking lot

Instead of asking where

He's gonna be today

Try to find a single place He's not

Chorus:

Look up, look down, look all around

Turn left, turn right, search day or night

Fly east, sail west (and) follow your chart

But first you'll find Him there in your heart

(Yes you will)

You will find Him cheering at a Super Bowl

Or with the homeless in the city streets

Relishing the wonders of the Taj Mahal

Or New York's neon rainbow at His feet

Repeat Chorus

You can take a rocket ship to outer space

You will see Him drawing rings

Around the moon

Then return to earth

Inside the speed of light

You'll find He's been there all afternoon

You'll find Him on the beach at Malibu

Or on the North Pole waiting in the snow

Now in the Boston Marathon

And running hard

Just face it, He's every place you go

Repeat Chorus

He's there in your

Oh, He's there in your heart

Ooh, you'll find Him there in your heart

He's there
