IT’S YOUR TIME

Joseph
You’ve been faithful, you’ve been true
And you’ve done all that you can do
And for your faithfulness, it’s your time

Leon
You applauded for the rest
Now it’s your time to be blessed
And for your faithfulness, it’s your time

Curtis / Chorus
You’ve been faithful, you’ve been true
And you’ve done all that you can do
And for your faithfulness, it’s your timeYou applauded for the rest
Now it’s your time to be blessed
And for your faithfulness, it’s your time

Daniel
You’ve waited for so long
But you held on, and you were strong
And for your faithfulness, it’s your time

Robert
You encouraged everyone else
When you needed it for yourself
And for your faithfulness, it’s your time

Curtis / Chorus
You’ve waited for so long
But you held on, and you were strong
And for your faithfulness, it’s your time

You encouraged everyone else
When you needed it for yourself
And for your faithfulness, it’s your time

Joseph
This song is dedicated to all of you who have been working in the vineyard for the Lord for what seems like a lifetime.
You have dreamed and you’ve worked towards things that you’ve wanted to accomplish for yourself.
But somehow your biggest goals always seem to be just out of your reach.
But the Lord told me to tell you He knows who you are.
Yes, He’s seen your work and He’s also seen your tears.
And He wants you to know that you are not forgotten.
He’s here to reward you for all your faithfulness.
For He said in His word if you will delight yourself in Him, He will give you the desires of your heart.
In other words, not only will He give you what you need, but He promised to give you whatever you want.
So don’t get discouraged. So don’t give up.
Hang in there and prepare yourself for your blessing. It’s your time now.

Curtis / Chorus
You have waited for so long.
But you held on, you were strong
And for your faithfulness
Because you hung in there when times got hard
And when it seemed like nobody cared
You kept right on working
You kept right on doing good things
And for your faithfulness
And for your faithfulness, it’s your time
He told me to tell you, it’s your time

SILENT NIGHT

in key of F (Original)

in key of C

Leon

‘Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse

Joseph

In my mind, I want you to be free

For all of our friends
Would you listen to me

Now hear what I say
We wish you a Merry Christmas (Merry Christmas)
To each (To all of you) one of you
Mhm

Daniel / Robert (Duet)

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon virgin Mother and Child
Holy Infant so tender and mild
Sleep in heavenly peace
Sleep, sleep in heaven, heavenly peace

Curtis

Go on and rest your mind
And sleep

Sleep, in heavenly peace

Leon

Silent night, holy night
Shepherds quake at the sight
Glories streams from Heaven afar
Heavenly hosts sing, “Alleluia”

Curtis
Christ the Savior is born,

oh yes He is

Christ, Christ the Savior is born

What a joyous day!

Daniel / Robert

Silent night, holy night
All is calm, all is bright
Round yon Virgin, Mother and Child
Holy infant, so tender and mild
Sleep in Heavenly peace
Sleep, sleep in Heaven, Heavenly peace

Joseph

As I sit around the fireplace
Watching the gleaming tree
If I had one wish in this world
It’d be that all men could be free
As we all gather round
To celebrate the savior’s birth
Give thanks to the world
Ad Lib for Ms Streeter

Curtis

Just sleep and relax your mind
To all our family and friends
I want you to remember this line
Merry Christmas to all of you
Merry Christmas to all of you

Leon

Merry Christmas from The Gatewood Brothers

BALL OF CONFUSION

Curtis does an opening rap/monologue to the opening background music.

Daniel

People moving out, people moving in
Why? Because of the color of their skin

All
Run, run, run but you sure can’t hide

Daniel

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth

Robert

Vote for me and I’ll set you free

All
Rap on, brother, rap on

Curtis

Well, the only person talking about love thy brother is the preacher
And it seems nobody’s interested in learning but the teacher
Segregation, determination, demonstration, integration
Aggravation, humiliation, obligation to my nation

All

Ball of confusion

Curtis
Oh yeah, that’s what the world is today
Woo, hey, hey

Joseph

The sale of pills are at an all time high
Young folks walking round with their heads in the sky
The cities ablaze in the summer time

Robert

And oh, the beat goes on

Curtis

Evolution, revolution, gun control, sound of soul
Shooting rockets to the moon, kids growing up too soon

Joseph
Politicians say more taxes will solve everything

Leon
And the band played on

All

So, round and around and around we go
Where the world’s headed, said nobody knows

Joseph
Oh, great Googamooga
Can’t you hear me talking to you?

Just a ball of confusion

Leon

Oh yeah, that’s what the world is today
Woo, hey, hey

Daniel

Fear in the air, tension everywhere
Unemployment rising fast, the Beatles new record’s a gas

Joseph
And the only safe place to live is on an Indian reservation

Leon
And the band played on

Daniel

Eve of destruction, tax deduction,

city inspectors, bill collectors

All
Mod clothes in demand, population out of hand,

Robert

suicide, too many bills
Hippies moving to the hills,

people all over the world are shouting

‘End the war’

Leon

and the band played on

Joseph

Great Googamooga
Can’t you hear me talking to you?

It’s a ball of confusion

Curtis
That’s what the world is today, hey, hey
Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let me hear ya

I’LL BE AROUND

Leon
This is our fork in the road
Love’s last episode
There’s nowhere to go, oh no
You made your choice
Now it’s up to me
To bow out gracefully
Though you hold the key, but baby

Whenever you call me, I’ll be there
Whenever you want me, I’ll be there
Whenever you need me, I’ll be there
I’ll be around

I knew just what to say
Now I found out today
That all the words had slipped away, but I know
There’s always a chance
A tiny spark will remain, yeah
And sparks turn into flames
And love can burn once again, but I know you know

Whenever you call me, I’ll be there
Whenever you want me, I’ll be there
Whenever you need me, I’ll be there
I’ll be around, yeah

Whenever you call me, I’ll be there
Whenever you want me, I’ll be there
Even if I have to crawl, I’ll be there
I’ll be around

Just call me on the phone, I’ll be there
I’ll never leave you alone, I’ll be there
Just call out my name, I know, I know you know
I’ll be around
I’ll be standing in a coffin, I’ll be there
I’ll be a-rippin’ it up, I’ll be there
I’ll be calling out your name to let you know (whenever you need me)
I’ll be around
