About Carrie Underwood

Carrie Underwood was born on March 10, 1983, Muskogee, Oklahoma, U.S.A.. She is an American country music performer who rose to stardom when she won the American Idol in 2005. She received the top prize of a recording contract with 19 Recordings/Arista Records, and the resulting album, Some Hearts (2005), was a massive commercial hit, eventually selling more than seven million copies and cementing Underwood’s status as one of American Idol’s most successful alumni. In 2007 she won Grammy Awards for best new artist and best female country vocal performance. Carrie returned to American Idol in 2007, performing a cover of the Pretenders’ “I’ll Stand by You.” Made available as a single on Apple’s iTunes service, the song was downloaded more than 300,000 times and became the first digital-only release to crack the top 10 of the Billboard singles chart. At the 2007 Country Music Association (CMA) Awards, Underwood claimed single-of-the-year honours for the feisty revenge song “Before He Cheats.” Her second album, Carnival Ride (2007), sold more than half a million copies in its first week of release, and in early 2008 she was inducted as a member of the Grand Ole Opry.

How Great Thou Art Lyrics

Carrie Underwood

Oh Lord, my God
When I, in awesome wonder
Consider all the worlds Thy hands have made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy power throughout the universe displayed

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art

And when I think that God, His Son not sparing
Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in
That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing
He bled and died to take away my sin

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation
And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart
Then I shall bow, in humble adoration
And then proclaim, my God, how great Thou art

Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
Then sings my soul, my Savior God to Thee
How great Thou art, how great Thou art
How great Thou art, how great Thou art

There is no shadow of turning with Thee

As Thou hast been, Thou forever will be

Join with all nature in manifold witness
To Thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love

Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow
Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside

Today I Started Loving You Again Lyrics

Merle Haggard

Today I started lovin’ you again
And I’m right back where I’ve really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
Then today I started loving you again

What a fool I was to think I could get by
With only these few million tears I cried
I should have known the worst was yet to come
And the crying time for me had just begun

Today I started loving you again
I’m right back to where I’ve really always been
I got over you just long enough to let my heartache mend
Then today I started loving you again

Why Me Lyrics

Why me, Lord? What have I ever done
To deserve even one of the pleasures I’ve known?
Tell me, Lord, what did I ever do to be worthy
Of You and the kindness you’ve shown?

Lord help me, Jesus, I’ve wasted it
So help me, Jesus, I know what I am
Now that I know that I’ve needed you
So help me, Jesus, my soul’s in your hand

Try me, Lord, if you think there’s a way
I can try to repay all I’ve taken from you
Maybe, Lord, I can show someone else
What I’ve been through myself on my way back to you

Lord help me, Jesus, I’ve wasted it
So help me, Jesus, I know what I am
Now that I know that I’ve needed you
So help me, Jesus, my soul’s in your hand

[Outro]
Jesus, my soul’s in your hand

This World Is Not My Home

by Merle Haggard

This world is not my home I’m just a passing through
My treasures are laid up somewhere beyond the blue
The angels beckon me from heaven’s open door
And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore

Oh Lord you know I have no friend like you
If heaven’s not my home then lord what will I do
The angels beckon me from heaven’s open door
And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore

They’re all expecting me, and that’s one thing I know,
My Savior pardoned me and now I onward go;
I know He’ll take me thro’ tho’ I am weak and poor,
And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore.

Oh Lord you know I have no friend like you
If heaven’s not my home Then lord what will I do
The angels beckon me From heaven’s open door
And I can’t feel at home In this world anymore

I have a loving Savior up in glory-land,
I don’t expect to stop until I with Him stand,
He’s waiting now for me in heaven’s open door,
And I can’t feel at home in this world anymore.

Just over in Gloryland
We’ll live eternally
The saints on every hand are shouting victory
Their songs of sweetest praise
Drift back from heaven’s shore
And I can’t feel at home In this world anymore

Oh Lord, you know I have no friend like you
If heaven’s not my home Then lord what will I do
The angels beckon me From heaven’s open door
And I can’t feel at home In this world anymore.

One Day at a Time Lyrics

Merle Haggard

I’m only human I’m just a man
Help me to believe in what I could be and all that I am
Show me the stairway that I have to climb
Lord for my sake teach me to take one day at a time
One day at a time sweet Jesus that’s all I’m asking from you
Give me the strength to do everyday what I have to do
Yesterday’s gone sweet Jesus and tomorrow may never be mine
So for my sake teach me to take one day at a time

Do you remember when you walked among men
Well Jesus you know if you’re looking below it’s worse now than then
Pushing and shoving, crowding my mind
So for my sake teach me to take one day at a time


One day at a time sweet Jesus that’s all I’m asking from you
Give me the strength to do everyday what I have to do
Yesterday’s gone sweet Jesus and tomorrow may never be mine
Yes just for my sake teach me to take one day at a time

Listening To the Wind Lyrics

Merle Haggard

Listening to the wind
Trying to hear the voice of a distant friend
Wishing you and I were close again
Listening to the wind

Listening to the breeze as it whispers through the poplar trees
Do you think of me way back then?
Do you listen to the wind?Listening to the night
Wishing we could hold and squeeze each other tight
I can almost hear the stars so bright
Listening to the night

Listening to the sound of a highway through some distant town
I can almost hear the pale moonlight
Do you listen to the night?

Listening to my mind
Searching through my thoughts for the perfect line
Using tricks and telepathy at times
Do you listen to your mind?

Listening to the breeze as it whispers through the poplar trees
Wishing you and I were close again
Just listening to the wind
