"MY NECK O' THE WOODZ"

Verse 1
Come up to My neck of the woods.
I'll get you feeling like you should.
You'll never be misunderstood
Up here in My neck of the woods.

Verse 2
I said that My burden is light,
And I know your life can be a fight,
But I love the broken & the contrite
That look to Me to find their might.

Verse 3
I told the waters, "Peace, be still."
Work won't bring death, but worry will.
Sometimes you just need to chill. [Chill out!]
Up here with Me you surely will.
So, come on!

Refrain
Walking with Me today,
Talking with Me today,
Seeing things My way
Up here in My neck of the woods.

I've got it all under control.
So take this time, let Me soothe your soul.
I'm gonna help you reach your goals
Right here in My neck of the woods.

Verse 5
When it's back out in the wings,
Don't you forget the song I sing.
Take time to listen to the King.
And when you start to lose that swing +

Verse 6
Come back to My neck of the woods!
I'll always deliver the goods!
You'll never be misunderstood
Right here in My neck of the woods.
Come back to My neck of the woods.
Right here in My neck of the woods.

Refrain
Walking with Me today,
Talking with Me today,
Seeing things My way
Up here in My neck of the woods.

I've got it all under control.
So take this time, let me soothe your soul.
Or help you reach, oh reach your goals
Right here in My neck of the woods.
Right here in my neck of the woods.
