HE STOOD BY Written & Composed by Michael Woodhead Copyright ©1975, 2021

He stood by and waited Until I reached a time When I could go no further When I could not find my mind Then he reached down and touched me His love filled my soul Jesus is my Saviour Who made me me pure and whole

He stood by and waited Till I could run no more I searched for truth and happiness But my thoughts were washed ashore Then he reached down and pulled me From the mud and mire Jesus is my Saviour Who set my soul on fire

[Musical Verse]

He stood by and waited Till I got down on my knees Sacrificed my life to him I said Jesus, save me, please Then he reached down and saved me Now, I'm heaven bound Jesus is my Saviour I sing this joyful sound

I HAVE OFTEN HEARD Written & Composed by Michael Woodhead Copyright © 1975, 2021

I have often heard of sinful things that people do I have often heard how they crucified you, too I have often heard how you rose from Satan's grave Many sinful men like me to save How I'm glad eternal life you gave

I have often seen the way that people put you down I have often seen pictures of your thorny crown I have often seen how they nailed you to a cross to die Thinking you would never live again Praise the Lord! Your resurrection came

I have often felt a burning deep inside my soul I have often felt gladness knowing you have made me whole I have often felt love and peace flow from above Holy Spirit falling like a dove How I need you more and more to love

RAINY DAY SUNSHINE Written & Composed by Michael Woodhead Copyright © 1972, 2021

Rainy day sunshine (Rainy day sunshine) Prophets, soon, will try to prophesy Flowers, too, will try to beautify Rainy day sunshine in the sky (Rainy day sunshine on your thigh)

Rainy day sunshine (Rainy day sunshine) Music, now, will soon harmonify A pupa changes to a butterfly Rainy day sunshine seems to rest (Rainy day sunshine—on your breast)

Rainy day sunshine (Rainy day sunshine) Stars explode, and form the planets green Tears will fall from orbs that never seen Rainy day sunshine in the air (Rainy day sunshine fills your hair)

Rainy day sunshine (Rainy day sunshine) Suns revolve around a galaxy I evolve and glimpse sweet thoughts of thee Rainy day sunshine seems to fly (Rainy day sunshine—in your eye)

AVON CALLING Written & Composed by Michael Woodhead Copyright © 1980, 2021

(ding-dong sound effect) Avon calling!

My girl can’t stand to be Without her Eau de Vie “Avon calling” is what she wants to hear

I know she’s really cute I still think she’s a beaut “Avon calling” is still her resolute

SPOKEN: Can I interest you in a few cosmetics? There’s eye-liner, and lip-liner, Eye lashes, cold cream, Lipstick and rouge and a bottle of steam.

I wish she wouldn’t be In need of Eau de Vie “Avon calling” — what’s it done to me?

(ding-dong sound effect) Avon calling

[Inspired by my wife who used to be an Avon Representative; narration by my daughter]

PRISONER Written & Composed by Michael Woodhead Copyright © 1965, 2021

I don't want to be a prisoner Bound by chains of love Bound just like a dove in a cage

I don't want to be a prisoner I want you for my own With no heart of stone in your breast

Unchain my hands Unchain my hands Unchain my hands Unchain my hands

I don't want to be a prisoner I just want your charms Please, unchain these arms, let me go

I don't want to be a prisoner Please take me today And don't run away from me, no

Unchain my hands Unchain my hands Unchain my hands Unchain my hands

I don't want to be a prisoner I want to be set free Won't you let me be, I want to go

I don't want to be a prisoner I want to go and die No, don't ask me why, just let me be

Unchain my hands Unchain my hands Unchain my hands Unchain my hands

A PLACE FOR YOU Written & Composed by Michael Woodhead Copyright © 1966, 2021

There’s a place for you beside me If you say you’ll be my own There’s a place for you inside me In my heart, you’d be at home

There’s a place for you today, dear If you say you’ll be my girl There’s a place for you to stay here In my heart, not in the world

There’s a place for you beside me If you say you’ll be my own There’s a place for you inside me In my heart, you’d be at home

There’s a place for you today, dear If you say you’ll be my girl There’s a place for you to stay here In my heart, not in the world
