I'm A Pop Star

Words / Music: Gregg Hart

©2004 / 2010 / 2021 Midiboy Music

I drive a nice car, all around the town

I’m always crankin’ out all the very latest sounds

My lyrics are fluff. My music is fluff

But they have allowed me to buy a lot of stuff

I have a big place, though I’m never in town

Haven’t heard from my family, or was that the other way around

Gottalotta people they are all my best friends

Always hanging around when there is money to spend


Look at me,

I’m a pop star

I’m a radio star

And I’m so pop-u-lar

Cuz I’m a pop star!


Mother used to tell me about this God of hers

Don’t want no part of Him until I’m riding in a hearse

She said I seem unhappy, that I never ever smile

But I’ve gotta enough money to last me for a while

I went out to buy some happiness one day

So I bought up everything that money could pay

I told all my friends that my cash is all gone

They all disappeared; Guess I better write a new song

Are ya still lookin’ at me?

Well? Are ya?

I’m a pop star

I’m a radio star

And I’m so pop-u-lar

Cuz I’m a pop star

VERSE 1

Every day as I awake, and You give the sun its shine.

My mind is reminded of my fate, if You hadn't cared to take the time.


PRE-CHORUS

To craft a plan to save the world

to love enough, You came to die

to die for me so I would have

My life...


VERSE 2

In my mind I do believe, in my heart I have received.

And in my life you know what is best. I must learn to trust You with the rest.

REPEAT PRE-CHORUS

CHORUS

…was given to me

Without You I wouldn't be

My life was given to me

Without Love it wouldn't be

My life was given to me

Without You I wouldn't be

My life was given to me

Without Love it wouldn't be


BRIDGE

Some choose life...Some take life...Some ignore life,

But there is only One Who can give life! (Who can give life)


VERSE 3

My life is worth so much more, knowing I am part of Your plan

Christ's blood covers my sin through the core; a final masterpiece from His hand.


REPEAT PRE-CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS



Can You

Can You see deep into my soul?

Can You see inside the hole?

Can You feel the ache in my soul?

Can You see me as if I’m whole?

Can You look beyond my pride?

Can You look deeper inside?

Can You feel the wounded pride?

Can You find me where I hide?

Can You know the depths of my pain?

Can You see beyond my chain?

Can You take from me the pain?

Can You see what I can’t explain?

Can You accept me for who I am?

Can You accept me for who I am?

Can You accept me for who I am?

Can You accept me for who I am?


REPEAT


You accept me for who I am.

You accept me for who I am, Lord.

You accept me for who I am.

You accept me for who I am.


You accept me for who I am.

Hey look at me

I’ve got something you need

It’s something brand new

Why don’t you get two?

If you want to succeed

You need to be like me

And use this every day

I’ll even help you pay

CHORUS

I’ve got something you want

I’ve got something you need

If in this life you’re gonna succeed

I’ve got something for you

And all you gotta do

Is listen to what I tell you

12 months no payments

A lifetime to pay

What are you waiting for?

Just fill out this form

You know you really need it

You cannot live without it

You will wonder how you got along

Would I really steer you wrong?

REPEAT CHORUS

CHORUS 2

I’ve got something you want

I’ve got something you need

If you just take the time to listen to me

I’ve got an apple for you

Come and take a bite or two


Who Will

Words & Music: Gregg Hart

Billy's on the street, he's got nothing to eat, no one to work for.

The economy was down in his small little town, the boss shut the door

He’s not to blame

Can anybody feel his shame?

Mary's all alone since her husband left her home with the children

Well how could she compete with that pretty young thing that he works with?

She’s not to blame

Can anybody feel her pain?

(as she’s crying)

(Chorus)

“Who will be my friend?

Who will be my friend?

Who will be my friend?

Be my friend?”

Johnny's not the same as the other boys and girls he goes to school with

His face is deformed and his family's rather poor, kids call him stupid.

He’s not to blame

Can anybody feel his pain?

(as he’s crying)

(Chorus 2x)

Will You heal my heart, it’s been torn all apart

Can You put it together again, Oh Lord

Together again, Jesus

Once again, My Lord

Together again!

(Final Chorus / Repeat 2x)

“Will you be my friend?

Will you be my friend, Oh Jesus?

Will you be my friend?

Be my friend?”

You know what it’s like to have nothing.

You know what it’s like to be hated.

You know what it’s like to be laughed at.


Hell Is For Good People

© 2005 / 2021 Midiboy Music

Music / Lyrics: Gregg Hart

Good people

Die every day

Some did not

Find their way

So close

And yet so far

So close

But no cigar

Went to church

All the time

Never did

Commit a crime

Had no time

To kneel and pray

Put it off

For another day

Another day may never come do not count on your good deeds

Because no one is perfect and no one is worthy

Do not think that you can slip on by

Let me tell you the reason why

Hell is for good people just like me

My sin nailed God’s son upon the tree

Hell is for good people just like you

And all who said one thing untrue

Helped people

All the time

Gave money

To the blind

Went to church

Twice a year

You said you listened

But did you hear?

For God so loved the world that He gave his one and only son

He hung upon the cross and bled for all your sins / every one

He rose again on the third day

So that you might; you might be saved … because

Hell is for good people….

why do you whisper

is it because you’re scared

there is no need to fear me

let me be your source of peace

let me be your source of peace

I promise not to cause you pain

I promise not to walk away

why do you wander

is it because you’re lost

come and I will walk with you

Walk with me, I’ll show you the truth

Walk with me, I’ll show you the truth

I promise not to lead you wrong

I promise not to leave you lost

why do you wither

is it because you’re sad

there is no need to give up

let me turn your tears to trust

I can turn your tears to trust

I promise not to cause you pain

I promise not to walk away

I promise not to lead you wrong

I promise not to leave you lost

I promise not to let you die

I promise not to cloud your sky


The Path

©2006 /2021 Midiboy Music

Words and Music: Gregg Hart

Can you tell me why? Can anyone tell me why?

Why is life so difficult at all the wrong times?

What is it that we can do, Who is it we can go to?

Who can make a song when the lyrics do not rhyme?


It just makes no sense, at least not to me

I know I'm not blind, so why didn't I see?

You've told me to beware of the enemies snares

Yet here I am trapped, please set me free.

It just makes no sense, at least not to me

I know I'm not blind, so why didn't I see?

You've told me to beware of the enemies snares

Yet here I am trapped, Lord, please set me free. Set me free.

I promise not to cause you pain

I promise not to walk away

I promise not to lead you wrong

I promise not to leave you lost

I promise not to let you die

Can You please come make sense fall into it's place

I know it's here somewhere, it's just been displaced

I'll follow You, Holy God, as you guide me through life's facade

Down the trail of Your mercy and the path of Your grace.

Down the path of Your grace

Down the path of Your grace


Cannot Look Away

© 2004, 2021 Midiboy Music

Words: Joe Flint

Music: Gregg Hart

crouching in the shadows of words already said

shrouded in the darkness of things left undone

it is suffocating and it is lonesome

standing there seeing no end to my choices

did I go wrong somewhere?

did I miss the turn in my oblivious ways?

did I miss the voice or just neglect to hear it beyond my prideful boasting?

there has to be an end

there has to be a light

I cannot stumble much longer

I need a new day to end this night

then I felt the warmness of a gentle breeze

blowing away the chill within me

I saw a glimmer of hope illuminating what lay ahead of me

if only I could be there now

I lifted the heaviness that settled in my feet

and took the first big step toward change

I took the first big step….towards change!

my strength is heavy steps

Your strength puts my feet on air

my strength is heavy steps

Your strength puts my feet on air

Chorus:

I cannot look away from the light ahead of me

I cannot turn away from Your voice

there is a peace that comforts and stills me

and leads me out of the shadows

and brings me into the glory of Your light

emerging from the darkness I feel my soul made alive

I see the Son and He has brought to me new life

the child is waving goodbye I dare not look back

because I do not want to be where I was before

living in my death and away from Your love

pull me in and pull me closer

let me feel Your breath upon me

breathe on me breath of God

let me feel Your breath upon me

breathe on me breath of God

Repeat Chorus:

I cannot look away from the Son

and though the view is bright

I have never seen things more clearly

than what I see staring at the Son

I have never seen things more clearly

than when I find myself staring at the Son


Perfect Circle

© 2002 / 2021 Midiboy Music

Words: Joe Flint / Music: Gregg Hart


Innocence crucified / Human nature deified

The day the lots were cast / On the tree He breathed His last

Why did He have to do it / He didn’t have to go through it

But the stains go deeper than skin / He died because of my own sin

(Chorus)

The perfect circle is completed / Humanity regaining his paradise

And is free from blame / By calling out on Jesus’ name

Pain of death crucified / God and man are unified

The day the grave was bare / After death He has risen there

Why do we have to do it / With each sin put Him through it

As my stains go deeper than skin / He rose to wash away my sin

(Repeat Chorus 2x)

By calling now on Jesus’ name

(Bridge)

What can wash away my sin / Nothing but the blood of Jesus

What can wash away my sin / Nothing but the blood of Jesus

The perfect circle is completed

Why did He have to do it

He didn’t have to go through it

The perfect circle is completed

Why do we have to do it

With each sin put Him through it

The perfect circle is completed

The stains go deeper than skin

He died because of my own sin

The perfect circle is completed

The perfect circle is completed


The War Within

Words and Music: Gregg Hart

2021 Midiboy Music

Would I be happy if I had all the things that I want

Or should I be content with just the one thing that I need

It’s like I think that what I want is there but just out of reach

But then I stumble and I fall flat on my face and I bleed

But I love it

Yet I hate it

I should not love it

I need to hate it

The old me needs to die, needs to die.

I’ve been a liar, been a cheat, and there is no good in me

I’ve been sold as a slave to sin and iniquity

And what I want to do I do not do but hate what I do

I wanna do what is right, but I can’t do it without You

Because I love it

I want to hate it

Still You love me

But You hate this

The old me needs to die, every day! Every Day! Every day! Every Day!

There’s part of me that wants to do the things that You say

There’s part of me that wants to do things my own way

There’s a war inside of me that I cannot win

Only You can rescue me from all of my sin

Because You hate it.

You really hate it.

So You died for me

And rose again for me

You gave your all for me

You won the war in me

And I believe in You

Because You saved me, saved me, saved me, saved me.


Where Would I Be

(C)2006 / 2010 / 2021 Midiboy Music

Words: Gregg Hart


It isn’t about what I deserve, because if it was, I’d have no chance

Sometimes I’d run away if I thought I could, given the right circumstance

But I can’t, no I can’t, so I won’t, no I won’t, because I would not get too far

Everywhere I go, everywhere I look, every time of day, right there is where You are


Where would I be if You did not save me

Where would I be if You did not die

Where would I be if on the third day

From the grave You did not rise


If I were to get what I have coming, I couldn’t complain, justice would be served

But Your mercy, Oh God, and your grace, Oh Lord, they are never ever ever ever deserved

When your amazing grace came down, it saved me from my destiny

To You, oh Lord, my praise belongs, for you have made me see


Where I would be be if You did not save me

Where I would be if You did not die

Where I would be if on the third day

From the grave You did not rise

Where would I be if You did not save me

Where would I be if You did not die

Where would I be if on the third day

From the grave You did not rise

Where would I be if You did not save me

Where would I be if You did not die

Where would I be if on the third day

From the grave You did not rise

But You rose again!

Restore Me

Words and Music: Gregg Hart

© 2011 / 2021 Midiboy Music

I’ve been on this road for far too long

I’ve lost the melody to Your song

Trying to do this on my own

It’s no wonder I’m alone

I remember how it used to be

When I was young and first believed

I trusted You in all I did

But somewhere along the way I slid

Can You restore my first love?

Can You revive me again?

Show me Your unfailing love

Restore the joy of Your salvation

You’ve shown Your love to me again

Your more faithful than all my friends

You give me only that what’s good

Instead of giving me what You should

Can You restore my first love?

Can You revive me again?

Show me Your unfailing love

Restore the joy of Your salvation

Please restore to me my first love

Please revive me again

Please show me Your unfailing love

And restore the joy of Your salvation

Restore me

Restore me

Restore me


Back In The Box

Words and Music: Gregg Hart

© 2012 / 2021 Midiboy Music


You're laughin' and a braggin' as you take the lead

Never happy with just playin' the game

You need more money, so you take my deeds

Building hotels, chargin' rent insane

With just a roll of the dice, you could win or lose

Turn over a card is it bad or good?

Or you could go to jail if you roll another two

Sell off your hotels, cuz you know that you should...


Because it all goes back in the box when you're done

Doesn't matter what you win because it's just a silly game

You can't take it with you when the game is won

Win or lose, it doesn't matter, life goes on just the same…just the same.


Never satisfied you want more, more, more

Never happy with just being who you are

You need more money so your life can soar

Want a bigger house a more expensive car

With just a blink of an eye you could win or lose

Because you never know when these things will change

Doesn't take too long, just a second or two

Everything that you own could all just go away….


Because it all goes back in the box when you're done

Doesn't matter what you have, it doesn't change the game

You can't take it with you when all is said and done

Win or lose, what you've gathered stays behind just the same,,,just the same.


You can't take it with you. What will your reward be?

Did you live for the moment? Did you live to get things

But when this life is over, it only just begins

It's not what you live for, but Who lives within.

Cuz it all goes back in the box when you're done

Doesn't matter what you have, it doesn't change the game

You can't take it with you when all is said and done

Win or lose, it's Who you chose if you want to hear your name. (Repeat)


A Wretch Like Me

Words / Music: Gregg Hart

©2021 Midiboy Music

Growing up among the chaos of a broken home

Never really by myself but feeling all alone

I heard about the Lord, but didn’t know who He was

Learning how to live by what everybody else does

Thinking I was so much more than everybody else was

But the darkness all around seemed brighter than the light was

I had life all figured out, oh boy was I so smart

I met a girl, I fell in love, and then I broke her heart

Cuz I was in love with somebody else, we got married and had a kid

But things got worse in my life with all the things that I still hid

I knew my life was missing something and I needed more

I remembered what my mama said, when she said “Don’t deny the Lord.”

I knew that God was always there throughout my whole life

But I never went to church until that one day with my wife

The preacher gave a message that I felt was just for me

I heard what Jesus did for me that He died to set me free

I gave my life to God that day, I thought the struggle would soon end

Because the God I thought that didn’t care, He now called me friend

But like a candle being snuffed out in the wind

I let the darkness creep right back in.

For the first time ever, I doubted God was really there

In spite of all the evidence that He was everywhere

My life spiraled down, as my doubts piled up

I started praying dear God, don’t let me self-destruct

But then I read about Paul and that thorn he had in his side

Paul prayed but God did not remove it, but he knew deep down inside

That God always works things out, He works things out in His own time

And God has His reasons, and on God I can rely

So my faith in God grew once again, and life got even tougher

But I learned to help so many others, because of how I suffered

It was God’s amazing grace that washed my soul clean

And only God’s amazing grace could save a wretch like me.
