Somethin's Happened To Me

I have a lot of favorites on this CD and "Somethin's Happened To Me" is certainly one of them. Of the many of the songs my good friend Kevin Mannarino and I have written together the lyrics in this song mostly came from Kevin. The first time I read the lyrics I knew the song would be special. This has been a great audience participation song and is always a song I sing live. Words & Music by Kevin Mannarino & Jerry Corelli

Somethin's Happened To Me - Jerry Corelli

Somethin’s Happening To Me
Written January 15, 1999
Words by Kevin Mannarino & Jerry Corelli
Music by Jerry Corelli

Verse 1
As I lay on his couch my psychiatrist said,
That emptiness you’re feelin’ is all in your head.
Still, I left his office without a clue,
Not knowing who I was or what I should do.

Chorus 1
Somethin’, somethin’, somethin’s gotta happen to me.
I didn’t know what it could be.
Somethin’, somethin’, somethin’s gotta happen to me.
I needed somethin’ it was plain to see.
On the left side, right side and all around.
From the top to the bottom, inside and out.
Somethin’, somethin’, somethin’s gotta happen to me.
But I didn’t know what it could be.

Verse 2
I thought my life was over and I started to run.
Then one day I found out that Jesus is the one.
So I prayed that the Lord would come into my life.
My sins were washed away and I stepped into His light.

Chorus 2
And somethin’, somethin’, somethin happened to me.
Jesus came into my life.
And somethin’, somethin’, somethin happened to me.
My sins have all been washed away.
On the left side, right side and all around.
From the top to the bottom, inside and out.
somethin’, somethin’, somethin happened to me.
That’s right Jesus set me free.

Verse 3
Now I believe in His Love with all of my heart.
Now my eyes are open and I made a new start.
He reached right into me and embraced my soul.
Now I’ve got to sing out to both young and old.
(Repeat Chorus 2)

I Believe In Jesus

"I Believe In Jesus" is downloaded regularly through Napster and others. The songs talks of what it took, and takes, for others to believe in Christ. I think the words are hard hitting and on the mark. In addition, the unmistakable electric guitars and Lead guitar of Chris Brekke impacts the song with a distinctive flare.

I believe In Jesus - Jerry Corelli

I believe In Jesus
Words and Music by
Mark Needham & Jerry Corelli

Stanza 1
It seems some need a sign to fall down from the sky.
And some need to read the writing on the wall.
Some don’t think it’s much unless it’s something they can touch.
But, I am here to tell you I believe.

Chorus
I believe in Jesus, that He died to free us.
I believe in His meekness and His wondrous love.
I believe in Jesus, in His power and greatness.
I believe in His kingdom and that He’s coming again.

Stanza 2
Ah, Moses needed a burning bush to convince him God was real.
And Paul had to be struck blind before his heart could truly feel.
But, all I need is the Word of God and His faith I have to see.
Cause, I’m here to tell you I believe.

I See You In Her Eyes

When my daughter turned 16 her mother and I didn't have much. She got a few gifts from friends and family and from her mother and I but the only gift I could give her was a song. So, I wrote this song to tell her how proud I was of her. You truly could see the Light of Christ in her eyes so that was my inspiration for this song. Words & Music by Jerry Corelli

I See You In Her Eyes - Jerry Corelli

I see You in her eyes
Words by Jerry Corelli
Music by Jerry Corelli

Verse 1
She’s been blessed with her mother’s beauty.
Beyond her years the girl is wise.
She has a fire and a passion burning.
Lord, I see You in her eyes.

1 Refrain
Everyone she meets hears about You.
How they can live even when they die.
True love waits and she believes it.
Lord, I see You in her eyes.

Verse 2
Forgive me Lord, a father’s pride.
And delay to give her as a bride.
Bless her Lord, as she becomes a lady.
Lord, I see You in her eyes.

2 Refrain
Give her sight to see her beauty.
To always know You hold the prize.
I pray Your Word is her constant companion.
Lord, I see You in her eyes.

Verse 3
So many questions run through her mind.
So much to do and yet so little time.
In a world where darkness wears a Light disguise.
I still see You in her eyes.
(Repeat 1 Stanza)

This song was written and dedicated to Jessey O'Kelly & Michelle McMahan
