Have you seen this video of “Love Again” @dannygokey’s title track from his new EP? thanks again to @steph6449 for the video.

Below are the transcribed lyrics:

Love Again
by Danny Gokey, Bryan Popin and Jason Eustice

I knew that it would be some time
As our tears harden like ice
I knew that she and I had fallen apart
Her words they pierce like knives
As I finally saw the light
What would I do or be without her by my side?

I lived like it was guaranteed
A lifetime of you loving me
I’m trying to be strong
But this pain won’t go away

(chorus)
If we could breathe again
Letting go of the hurt just to see again
If we open our hearts and just dream again
Maybe we can learn to love again
We could love again

Just the thought of losing you
I can’t imagine what I’d do
It’s something that I never thought I’d face
Baby, I just can’t let you go
It’s tearing my heart and my soul
I’m trying to move on but this pain won’t go away

(chorus)
If we could breathe again
Letting go of the hurt just to see again
If we open our hearts and just dream again
Maybe we can learn

So look me in the eyes and say the words
We’re worth fighting for
I believe that we can make it
Stronger now than before
Can’t you see that we can be
What God made us to be?

(chorus)
If we could breathe again
Letting go of the hurt just to see again
If we open our hearts and just dream again
Maybe we can learn to love
To love

Have you seen this premiere of @dannygokey’s song “Faith, Hope and Love” from his new EP “Love Again”? thanks to @steph6449 for the video.

The transcribed lyrics are below:

Faith, Hope and Love
by Danny Gokey and Brandon Fraley

Each of us at one point or another
Has come across someone who’s lost their way
The homeless man who’s asking for a dollar
In his eyes you see only broken-ness and shame
Sleeping all alone each night with nothing but his fears
You can be the light that makes his darkness disappear

(chorus)
I believe that we can make a change
It only takes a spark to light a flame
Nothing is impossible no matter what they say
A little bit of faith, a little bit of hope, a little bit of love
Goes a long way

A single mom has the whole world on her shoulders
She’s raising all her children by herself
So when you see the seasons change and it gets colder
There’s so many ways that you can help
A single act of kindness might just seem like not enough
But that could be exactly where she’s wanting to give up

(chorus)
I believe that we can make a change
It only takes a spark to light a flame
Nothing is impossible no matter what they say
A little bit of faith, a little bit of hope, a little bit of love
Goes a long way

Some would choose to look away
Cause a gift is temporary
But you can choose to show the world
How one heart touches many

(chorus)
I believe that we can make a change
It only takes a spark to light a flame
Nothing is impossible no matter what they say
A little bit of faith, a little bit of hope, a little bit of love
Goes a long way

Testing new app. @dannygokey Opry (Taken with picplz.)

Sal (age 10) Henry (age 7) and Me (age 33) Watch "Grease" for the first time.

Henry: What the heck? They're kissing on the beach saying "don't go"? What is this? The end of the movie?
Henry: What the heck? Is that Elvis?
Henry: What the heck is with this cartoon? What are hooties? Is that another word for hooters?
Henry: Are those guys the jackasses in this movie? Yeah, I think these guys are the jackasses.
Henry: Elvis smokes?
Me: Isn't Elvis. It's John Travolta.
Sal: His eyes are too small for his nose. Who is THAT? 
Me: Stockard Channing.
Sal: She does NOT look like she'd be in High School.
Henry: Please tell me no one dressed or walked like this in real life. I don't think the Elvis looking guy knows his blondie girl is at this school.
Henry: Did he just put a frog in her purse?
Me: You were right about those guys.
Henry: they are the jackass badasses, is Elvis one of those guys?
Sal: Yeah.
Henry: Do they just sit at the football practice and and make fun of everyone?
Me: Yeah.
Sal: I don't like these people. They're all rude.
Me: Sandy doesn't seem rude.
Sal: So?
Henry: I love this movie. Wait ARE THEY ALL JUST SINGING?!?! SUDDENLY!?
Me: Yeah. that's what happens in High School.
Henry: Seriously? Did this just suddenly happen?? He's singing about her and she's singing about him? Weird. They both don't know they're in the same school?? You can tell that crazy girl is lip syncing. You can tell they're all lip syncing.
Sal: The 50's look stupid. Elvis has a crazy chin dimple.
Henry: Anyone can have a dimple like that, if they take a knife and just carve one out.
Sal: Yeah, I'm sure the principal says "Quiet" and they're all quiet. That doesn't happen.
Henry: WHY IS HE ACTING LIKE THAT TO SANDY?!?!
Me: Why do you think?
Henry: 'Cause he's a jackass.
Me: Henry you can't say that word again, ok..... but yeah. 
Henry: Rizzo and these girls Sandy is friends with are the bad girls. Alllright!!!
Sal: This is boring.
Henry: Are they kissing in the car? Oh my god they are licking each other!! CHINESE KISSING!!
Me: Chinese kissing?
Henry: Uh, what is it, Japanese kissing? French... oh yeah french kissing.
 (Greased Lightning comes on)
Henry: Too much singing. Can I turn this off?
Beatrix walks in: Oh look at all the princesses dancing!
Sal: Those cars don't look fast, they look like hippos.
Henry: OH MY GOD LOOK AT SANDY SHE'S A BAD GIRL NOW!
Sal: Those pants.
Henry: Grandad and I went on the Gravitron 2 times last week.
Me: You did not!
Henry: Yeah, twice, I puked.
Me: YOU DID NOT TAKE MY DAD ON THE GRAVITRON TWICE!
Henry: I did. See that one ride in the movie? It looks so boring, it must be a 'kissing ride', the kind you go on just to kiss people?
Me: Chinese Kiss them?
Henry: Har-Har. Green screen car flying into the SKY!!!!!

*JUMP JUMP* NOW I will be able to sing along w/ @dannygokey when he sings this song! Thanks “leann97” for posting the lyrics to Life is a Highway! No more singing only the chorus for this girl. LOL!

Win Me Over

Danny Gokey

I love the way you lose yourself

completely in my eyes

Like you live and breathe

To show me I’m the reason you’re alive

You paint with every color

When you brush against my skin

Can’t you see it

Baby I’m all in

You don’t have to win me over

Let that weight fall off your shoulder

I’m yours for the pulling closer

You don’t have to win me over

I’ve been a believer since

the moment that we met

There’s never been a single second

that I second guess

Now’s the time to let your mind

run off with me and you

Last thing you have

is another thing to prove

You don’t have to win me over

Let that weight fall off your shoulder

I’m yours for the pulling closer

Yeah, that’s where I wanna be

You could keep on trying harder

I couldn’t fall for you any farther

Do what you do & even slower

You don’t have to win me over

Baby, you don’t have to win me over

Let that weight fall off your shoulder

I’m yours for the pulling closer

Yeah, that’s where I wanna be

Baby, you could keep on trying harder

I couldn’t fall for you any farther

Do what you do & even slower

You don’t have to win me over
